So when he heard the Heavenly Master’s query, Yu Yangzi wasn’t surprised, Imowing that his master was testing him.
After a brief moment of considering his words, Yu Yangzi slowly said, “This plan is quite ambitious. Compared to previous ones, they are as different as the heavens and the earth. Anyone else might think it’s a naive dream. Yet considering that the one proposing it is the heir to the Shenxiao Sect, it seems perfectly reasonable, with nothing inappropriate.”
But how could Yu Yangzi not ponder this matter himself?
He had spent all his time these past few days thinking about the feasibility of this plan.
Yu Yangzi did not throw out his opinion immediately, instead, he first discussed his thoughts on Pei Xuanjing.
“Hehe.” The old Heavenly Master chuckled, continuing to listen to Yu Yangzi speak.
Yu Yangzi was correct, this kind of insane plan would make any other proposers look like madmen or idiotic. But the fact that someone from the Shenxiao Sect proposes it, makes it seem not absurd, but instead that it is sensible.
After all, such a plan is nothing compared to what the Shenxiao Sect has done in the past based on their history. They’ve done even crazier things.
Yu Yangzi went on, “If the original plan was to help the True Martial Sect covertly gain control of a province, with the power of our Ji Fang Alliances, that should be an easy task. Even if we end up unsuccessful, as long as our alliances remain intact, we can still retreat unscathed. The Great Ming imperial court would also turn a blind eye to this. The worst outcome would be to close off our mountain gates.”
As he said, taking control of a province in secret was not a significant matter. Given the control of the Great Ming imperial court, they still needed the help of these local ‘snakes’ in their smallest towns and villages.
As long as they did not revolt, there would be no significant blame, and due to the influence of the factions, ultimately all would end well.
“However, if we follow Grandmaster Pei’s plan and unite the Taoist schools to control the imperial lineage. Seizing this opportunity to get the Great Ming Empire under our control, and to gain the upper hand before Heaven and Earth resurrect, truly a big move. If we succeed, not only will our factions significantly benefit, we can also, during this opportunity, elevate our Taoism, suppress other paths and exalt the Taoist school alone. Perhaps also fulfill the long-standing aspiration of the Taoist predecessors, establish the Divine Dynasty on earth, and henceforth all living beings prosper.”
When he gave this speech, even Yu Yangzi could not help but to be passionately aroused and exulted.
No doubt, Pei Xuanjing’s plan was too grandiose, too enticing, once successful, they could leave an indelible mark on the history of Taoism, and be respected for generations to come.
Establish the Divine Dynasty on earth, all living beings prosper, the world flourishes in peace, lasting prosperity for generations.
This wasn’t an objective proposed by the Shenxiao Sect, but had initially been proposed during the end of the Divine Han era by the highly esteemed teacher, Taiping Daoist.
Dragon Tiger Mountain had just established their sect at that time, although they did not join the camp of that virtuous teacher, they engraved his lofty goal in their hearts and passed it down through generations.
Old Heavenly Master: “Do you know what would happen if this plan fails?”
Yu Yangzi’s face was solemn, he slowly replied, “If it fails, the inheritance of Dragon Tiger Mountain that lasted for millennia might be washed away.” Dense rewards often accompany colossal risks.
If this plan fails, they are bound to face the backlash of the Great Ming imperial court and the siege of various forces.
Even with Dragon Tiger Mountain’s millennia of heritage, it cannot endure such a blow. The best outcome would likely be the closure of the sect.
“It seems you have made up your mind.” The old Heavenly Master remarked leisurely.
Yu Yangzi was taken aback. He asked in confusion, “Master, don’t you think my action is too risky?”
The old Heavenly Master shook his head, “Risky? Dragon Tiger Mountain has taken risks over thousands of years and still stands firm in the world. A bit of risk is nothing.”
Yu Yangzi mused about this while hearing the old Heavenly Master say, “You have already persuaded many elders, why should I stand in your way?”
“Please forgive me, Master, I was only…” Yu Yangzi, feeling cornered as the old Heavenly Master broke the news of his alliance with the elders, promptly bowed to apologize.
The old Heavenly Master waved him off, indicating there was no need. He said to Yu Yangzi, “I’m relieved that you acted this way.”
“Go and tell Taoist Pei, Dragon Tiger Mountain agrees to the matter this time. But what belongs to us cannot be less by even a hair.” Yu Yangzi was taken aback. The old Heavenly Master did not intend to explain further, but ordered him to leave, “I need to continue my retreat, you should withdraw. This matter is now entirely your responsibility.”
“Yes!”
Yu Yangzi suppressed his confusion and slowly retreated.
As soon as Yu Yangzi left, the old Heavenly Master’s face revealed a satisfied smile. He murmured to himself, “My years of cultivation did pay off; Dragon Tiger Mountain finally has successors.”
The reason the old Heavenly Master had not stepped down wasn’t that he couldn’t let go of his authority, but that Yu Yangzi’s performance always fell short. When having to make some decisions, he seemed indecisive, finding it difficult to make definitive decisions.
If it were any other era, with Yu Yangzi’s performance, he could easily manage being a Taiping Heavenly Master, but nothing more..
