CHAPTER 529: CHAPTER 520 RETURNING TO YUE COUNTRY (SECOND UPDATE, SEEKING SUBSCRIPTION)

In the north of the island, a giant circular platform appeared, with a height of one and a half meters and a diameter of three meters.

The platform was forged from the Void Divine Stone, engraved densely with array patterns, intricately combined, with space power surging within the array patterns.

Beneath the platform, a Fifth Grade Spirit Vein served as the power source.

Activating the array patterns, the teleportation array started to operate, ready to transport to a faraway place in the next moment.

In just an instant, the teleportation array would be fully activated.

The teleportation array, at least a Fourth Grade array, required array patterns setup, materials needed, and demands on the array master, among others, that only a Nascent Soul Family could afford the huge costs.

As for a remote teleportation array, only a Divinity Transformation Influence could establish it.

Each time the teleportation array is activated, it consumes a large amount of high-grade spirit stones.

The quantity of items transported each time is limited; if the quantity is too large, it may result in overload and failure of transmission.

This time, the Celestial Sea Sect opened the teleportation array for just one person.

"Fellow Daoist, the teleportation array is about to activate, it leads to Yue Country. Safe travels!" Looking towards True Monarch, he said, "Here is the Celestial Sea Sect’s token, Fellow Daoist, if you have time, you are welcome to visit again!"

"If I have time, I will come again. You’re also welcome to visit Chu Country!"

Lu Xuanji smiled, accepting the token.

Casually, he placed the token into the storage bag.

Later, Lu Xuanji and Li Qingwei stepped onto the platform, the teleportation array activated, and a stream of light flashed, the two vanished from sight.

...

Watching the two leave, True Monarch Vientiane breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, a man appeared, his aura cold as a venomous snake, looking at the teleportation array, he furrowed his brows slightly, "Senior Brother, just let them go. That Xuanji True Monarch is a fat sheep, I just calculated with the treasure-searching disk, and the treasure glow on him flickers, with many magical treasures!"

"If we surrounded and killed him, we could make a small fortune!"

True Monarch Vientiane said, "Not only did you calculate, I also calculated for a moment. This Xuanji True Monarch has fiery destiny, abundant magical treasures, and spirit stones. Over two hundred top-grade spirit stones, he didn’t even blink an eye, just took them out directly. This time activating the teleportation array only cost a hundred top-grade spirit stones only!"

"If we kill Xuanji True Monarch, we’d not only make a small fortune, but a big fortune."

True Monarch Profound Nether said, "If that’s the case, why not take action? We four True Monarchs together would surely be able to slay Xuanji True Monarch."

"Four True Monarchs cannot kill Lu Xuanji!" True Monarch Vientiane said, "Junior Brother, you’re still a bit naive. You only know one thing, but not the other. Although Xuanji True Monarch is merely at the Nascent Soul Seventh Layer, his combat power is so strong that four True Monarchs cannot handle him. It’s best to enlist a Divinity Transformation ancestor... But will they act?"

True Monarch Profound Nether shook his head, falling silent.

Divinity Transformation is busy, and Divinity Transformation requires respect.

They won’t, and cannot take action.

"Even if we kill Xuanji True Monarch, what then? He has Divinity Transformation experts behind him! If we were to do it, inevitably the news would leak! By then, when that Divinity Transformation expert comes to block the gate, we might be handed over to quell that one’s anger. Some people can be killed, but some cannot!"

"If you do something wrong, I wouldn’t mind upholding justice even against kin!"

In the cultivation world, killing to seize treasures is originally nothing. But killing those you shouldn’t provoke only makes the sect take the blame, that’s impossible.

True Monarch Profound Nether listened, feeling a chill in his heart, saying, "Senior Brother, I’ll be careful!"

True Monarch Vientiane said, "Remember, more friends are more paths, more enemies are more walls, be kind to others, especially those top-tier experts."

...

Space changed, maintaining for less than three seconds.

Lu Xuanji regained his senses, now already in Yue Country.

"Senior is here!"

The Golden Core Cultivator stationed here spoke.

"Thank you!" Lu Xuanji said, tossing three thousand upper-grade spirit stones as a tip.

A moment later, Lu Xuanji and Li Qingwei left.

Returning to Yue Country, they were very close to Chu Country.

Li Qingwei said, "Master, the Celestial Sea Sect is not good, having destroyed numerous small influences over the years, suppressing many factions, killing innumerable people and seizing treasures. Many spectators have been intercepted and killed on the way!"

"I know!"

Lu Xuanji smiled, "Along the way, True Monarch Vientiane probed multiple times, intending to act against me, thinking of me as a fat sheep. But ultimately, True Monarch Vientiane clearly gave up. Qingwei, do you know why?"

Li Qingwei said, "I don’t know, Master!"

Lu Xuanji said, "Because I’m very powerful, so powerful that True Monarch Vientiane can’t bite off, forcing him to give up. Of course, if True Monarch Vientiane invited that Divinity Transformation ancestor to act, then it’s possible to kill me. But do you think that Divinity Transformation ancestor would take action?"

"No!"

Li Qingwei said.

"This world, essentially respects strength, but in other words, it’s bullying the weak and fearing the strong. Many cultivators say they respect the strong, but deep down, they bully the weak and fear the strong. Killing to seize treasures is only aimed at some weaklings, some fat sheep; but when sufficiently powerful, no one dares to scheme against you."

"What does it mean to be invincible in the world? It means someone is so powerful in cultivation that no one wishes to be their enemy."

"In Chu Country, I have no enemies!"

Recalling his life over millennia, he seemed to have never encountered enemies.

Those who chose to be his enemies had long turned to dust.

Most potential enemies, seeing his heavenly aptitude, his outstanding and powerful abilities, quickly chose to turn adversaries into friends.

From this perspective, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, persisting as a ruler, is essentially wrong.

Pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger seems like baiting, scheming some people, but also to some extent, turns potential friends into enemies. If you demonstrate the strength of a tiger, would those strong enemies come knocking, come to provoke?

Absolutely not.

"Master, I understand!"

Li Qingwei nodded.

Recalling the destruction of the clan, all this was because the clan was too weak, leading to the Li Family’s extinction. If the Li Family had a Nascent Soul True Monarch, would the Celestial Sea Sect have attacked them?

Mostly likely not.

The Celestial Sea Sect seems domineering and arrogant, but their actions are extremely cautious.

There are many bad people in the cultivation world, but bad people are not necessarily stupid.

Many bad people seem arrogant and domineering, but don’t provoke just anyone; they even befriend, and ally with, some major influences.

Being bad isn’t scary; what’s scary is being stupid.

Bad people don’t necessarily face tragic ends; many bad people live carefree and freely. But if one is both bad and stupid, their end is often tragic.

If the Celestial Sea Sect is both bad and stupid, killing every disliked person, exterminating every disliked influence, arrogant and mindless, they would have long been beaten to death. But in fact, over the years, the Celestial Sea Sect has offended many influences, yet also has numerous allies.

In Yue Country, Lu Fan is here!

Lu Xuanji suddenly thought of a son residing in Yue Country.
