Chapter 1121 The Great Dao is Private
"Hmm?"
Xuanming Tianzun, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, showed obvious doubt on his young and handsome face. Gao Xian wanted to wipe out all the demons in the human world? This kid really dared to think so! This kid really dared to say so! The human world is vast and solid, and it is the foundation of all the heavens and worlds. There are eleven eighth-level cultivators.
After killing one red dragon, there are still ten left. Seven of them are demons. Fortunately, when the cultivation reaches the eighth level, there is rarely any distinction between races. The most important thing is to look at one's own interests.
It is ridiculous that Gao Xian wants to divide the enemy and our camp based on race.
The powerful demons did not care about race, but they attached great importance to their own survival. As long as they found something wrong, they would definitely take action decisively.
Another point is that Gao Xian's killing of the Red Dragon had already attracted the attention of all the eighth-level masters. As long as Gao Xian killed another eighth-level demon, he would inevitably attract the siege of other eighth-level demons.
Xuan Ming Tian Zun pondered for a moment and said: "Daoyou, the road is long. No matter how many fellow practitioners there are, the path must be walked by the cultivator himself.
He said sternly: "Caring for the people of the world is a great virtue. But it is not what a cultivator should do."
"I find it hard to agree with what Tianzun said."
Gao Xian shook his head slightly and retorted: "It is because of the bravery of countless ancestors that the human race has created a new world and a place for our race to stand.
"There are also countless cultivators who have devoted their whole lives to the inheritance of their race. This is why the human race's inheritance has not been broken, and why the human race is so prosperous today."
"If these ancestors only cared about their own cultivation, how could the human race prosper? If the human race had not prospered, we might not have been born, let alone have the cultivation we have today. It is all thanks to the continuous inheritance of the human race and the various secret methods that we can gain a foothold in this world.
"It is precisely because of this foundation that we can succeed..."
Xuan Ming Zun smiled and nodded, saying: "You are right. It is because of the wisdom and blood of countless ancestors that the human race has reached its current prosperity."
He then asked, "Have you ever thought about why the ancestors of the human race worked so hard together?"
Without waiting for Gao Xian to answer, Xuan Ming Zun said, "At that time, the human race was weak and could only survive by sticking together. Just like cattle and sheep, they can only survive by staying in groups."
"When one reaches the eighth level of cultivation, he only has a human form, but he is no longer related to humans in every aspect. For a cultivator of this level, it would be a huge mistake to try to integrate into the world of mortals."
“Morality, order and rules are used to restrain mortals and low-level cultivators. Only in this way can we reconcile the conflicts between many individuals and maintain the normal operation of the huge organizational structure.
“Why should individuals tolerate the suppression of their interests by the organization? Because individuals are weak, and compared to the interests they lose, they gain more from the organization.
"The relationship between mortals and the imperial court, between cultivators and their sects, is all like this.
"When you reach the eighth level, you will possess supreme power and surpass all sects. You will no longer need a sect or mortals. Everything should be centered around your interests.
"If it is beneficial, do it; if it is not beneficial, leave it."
Xuanming Tianzun looked at Gao Xian deeply and said, "My words are too cold and cruel, you may find it difficult to understand. However, the great way is the most selfish! This is the way of man, and it is also the way of heaven."
He sighed softly as he spoke: "So we have love without ruthlessness, profit without benevolence, morality without virtue..."
Xuanming Tianzun, who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, still retains a variety of rich emotions, which are the basis of his appreciation of life.
However, hundreds of thousands of years have also made his heart as hard as diamond. He will never let his emotions get in the way of important matters. He will only calmly weigh the pros and cons and make a choice.
Xuan Ming Tian Zun did not join forces with Hong Ri, Jin Yuan and Tian Peng because he did not trust them. He felt that cooperating with these three eighth-level people would be disadvantageous to him.
Instead of doing this, it would be better to cooperate with Gao Xian. This would be in his best interest.
However, Gao Xian's grand ambitions shocked Xuan Ming Zun a little. In his opinion, sweeping away so many eighth-level masters would not only bring him no benefit, but also be extremely dangerous.
Therefore, Xuanming Tianzun had to tell Gao Xian a little about the true way of cultivation.
These words are very utilitarian and practical, but they are the truth.
Gao Xian understood the great way of Xuanming Tianzun. How to say it, it was normal for Xuanming, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, to think like this. It would be ridiculous if he thought like an ordinary person.
He couldn't say Xuanming was wrong, the great way of being private did make some sense, but it just depended on how you looked at it.
Gao Xian didn't want to be so high-profile and say that he was selfless and public-spirited. He cared so much about the human race in the world, and it couldn't be simply said that he was kind-hearted. He also had his own calculations and needs.
With enough human races, he could obtain a large amount of human spiritual light, which could support him to continuously move forward and transcend many limitations.
The Wanjie Yinfu Spear and the Pojun Tiansha Sword were both peerless artifacts, but they were not his foundation. His foundation was the Fengyue Baojian! It was the spiritual light of humanity.
Gao Xian felt that only the Fengyue Baojian could help him survive the catastrophe of the era. However, he couldn't tell Xuanming Tianzun about his needs.
Fortunately, Xuanming Tianzun laid everything out and explained the pros and cons clearly, which is actually a good thing.
Empty talk of great principles and righteousness can actually cause a lot of trouble.
Because the pros and cons can be calculated clearly, but the righteousness and the great way are difficult to explain.
Gao Xian thought for a moment and said, "The Lord's words are profound and righteous, and I admire you."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
He paused and said, "However, I have some different opinions. It is true that the great way is the most private.
"However, as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth continues to decline, it is foreseeable that in the final period of the era, the spiritual energy may completely dissipate. The power of cultivators like me will inevitably drop to the lowest level. Even a ninth-level strongman will not be able to change the world.
"At that time, whoever has more people and a stronger organization will be able to control the situation and have a chance to survive the epochal catastrophe..."
Since Xuan Ming Zun said that the human race is useless, there is no need to fight with other eighth-level cultivators to protect the human race. Gao Xian will use facts to convince Xuan Ming Zun, telling him that the human race is useful, and the more people there are, the more useful it is.
We present facts and use logic, which is much better than empty talk about benevolence and righteousness.
Xuan Ming Tian Zun obviously hesitated. It was not that he could not foresee this, but he thought that by then all the tribes would be almost dead.
The so-called racial numerical advantage is meaningless.
However, if the human race could maintain its numerical advantage until two thousand years later, the situation would be different.
Without spiritual energy, a ninth-level strongman can't turn the world upside down. Even if he retains some of his power at that time, how long can an individual strongman hold out against hundreds of billions of human beings?
Gao Xian added: "Sweeping the demons may seem dangerous, but in fact, these eighth-level monsters have lived for too long, and they are stubborn and old-fashioned, so it won't be difficult to deal with them.
"Just wait until I condense the Supreme Yuan Guang and turn it into the eighth level. With the cooperation of Tianzun, killing these monsters will be a piece of cake!"
Seeing that Xuanming Tianzun was still a little hesitant, Gao Xian said again: "The method of Tianshaxing is not difficult. I will ask Senior Jiu to help Tianzun refine one. With this, entering the Tao, breaking through the ninth level is not a delusion!"
Although Xuan Ming Tian Zun knew that Gao Xian was just making big promises, he couldn't help but be tempted. He thought for a moment and said, "This is a serious matter. I need to think about it..."
"No hurry. I will go and condense the Supreme Yuan Light first."
Gao Xian waved his hand and said, "When Tianzun has made up his mind, we can contact him using the Xiaoyao Order..."
