The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings - Chapter 531
Chapter 531: Chapter 479: Asking for the Master’s Teachings
“Indeed, I have been studying how to release third-grade quasi-“Grandmaster Realm” martial artists from the constraints of the true intention of martial arts, allowing them to cultivate as normally as Grandmasters who have understood the true intention of martial arts.” Pei Xuanjing did not beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly.
“Sect Leader’s kindness is boundless!”
“Sect Leader’s virtue is immense!”
“…”
Whoosh, all those third-grade quasi-Grandmaster figures began to express their excitement, vocally praising Pei Xuanjing.
These individuals had trained tediously, hindered either by lack of comprehension or other reasons, and finally, they were unable to comprehend the true intention of martial arts. Although they had reached the third-grade realm, they always fell short compared to others.
Third-grade quasi-Grandmaster, although in the same third-grade realm, carries the prefix ‘quasi,’ undoubtedly placing them one level below others. This was an embarrassing reality these martial artists had difficulty accepting.
Yet, in this world where the strongest rule, if one’s strength is inferior, then they are, indeed, inferior. They are helpless and have no choice but to face the disdainful gazes and to endeavor in their training relentlessly.
No one desires to stay behind forever, especially in this brewing Great World; they are even more eager to strive forward.
However, reality is cruel. Lacking the reinforcement of the true intention of martial arts, after many years of maintaining a grueling training regime, they still fall short when compared to others who have only trained for several months, causing massive discouragement among many.
Now, someone has finally noticed them, willing to give them attention, willing to cast a look upon them; this was incredibly fortunate.
This was enough. Even if Pei Xuanjing’s method turned out to be ineffective, it would still stir their hearts, because this sense of recognition was irreplaceable.
Seeing the fervent excitement of these people, a tinge of sigh flashed in Pei Xuanjing’s eyes: “As insignificant as ants, one should still aim high; as fragile as paper, the heart should remain unyielding.”
This was the true spirit and will, the key to a race’s enduring growth. If there were truly no upward channels, the stagnation would undoubtedly turn into a dying pond. Regardless of how mighty it once was, it will eventually decline and wait for its splendor to fade, till only remnants remain.
“However, although I have devised this method, I have not had a real attempt at it and cannot assure its effectiveness.” Pei Xuanjing did not conceal the truth.
Even though his clear-cut intention of gathering these individuals was to gather experimental data through trials on them and to make constant deductions, he chose not to hide this fact and left the decision to them.
“Sect Leader need not worry, we’re only risking our lives, and we disciples are not afraid!”
Instantly, a third-grade quasi-Grandmaster voiced out. The look in his eyes was determined and resolute without a trace of hesitation.
The cultivation of a martial artist is like crossing a single-log bridge among thousands of troops, their arrival at this point has undoubtedly prepared them for death. Rather than living a mediocre life, forever considered inferior to others, it would be better to stand up and fight.
“We disciples don’t fear death; we only fear being looked down upon!”
“We disciples wish to attempt; we disciples don’t wish to be seen as inferior!”
To be a king or a marquis, one should have ambition.
In the past, the lack of hope was tolerable, but now that there was hope, why should they not pay the price.
What is there to fear in death?
We are all humans, why should they be seen as inferior to others? They would rather die a spectacular death than live a life of meek subservience.
Nearly a hundred quasi-Grandmasters present voiced out in unison, without a single person hesitating or backing down. The momentum was overwhelming, and even many martial artists on the side, who had comprehended the true intention of martial arts, couldn’t help but pay attention to them.
There is clear hierarchy everywhere, especially within large forces like the Shenxiao Sect.
Besides Pei Xuanjing, who is held in the highest esteem as the Sect Leader (True Person), it is the Spirit Realm powerhouses and first-grade martial artists that form the foundation of the sect. Quasi-Grandmaster martial artists of the third-grade, even if their combat strength matches that of Grandmaster martial artists of the same grade, are considered to have no future in many people’s eyes. Despite their large numbers, they can’t be considered the core of the Shenxiao Sect.
With Pei Xuanjing, a peerless powerhouse who has the world under his control, the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect possessed a sense of self-confidence. Particularly, when Pei Xuanjing mentioned that the Shenxiao Sect would transform into an immortal sect in the future, it motivated countless disciples. Everyone worked towards this goal, hoping to become true disciples of the immortal sect.
It is bleak for a martial artist of quasi-Grandmaster realm to break through to the Spirit Realm. In many people’s eyes, as the world continues to recover, they will eventually lag behind the growth pace of the Shenxiao Sect and will be gradually eliminated.
Now that they witnessed the momentum from these individuals, they finally realized the amount of suppressed energy these peers had been holding back. Without Pei Xuanjing’s intervention today, they might have never had the chance to release it in their lifetimes.
“We ask Sect Leader for compassion, and bestow upon us this method.” A martial artist of the quasi-Grandmaster realm fell to his knees from his meditation cushion.
“We ask Sect Leader for compassion, and bestow upon us this method.” *n.
Subsequently, the remaining quasi-Grandmaster martial artists performed the same action, they fell to their knees.
The fourth-grade martial artists also collectively kneeled and pleaded. Except for few individual geniuses, none of them dared assert themselves to comprehend the true intentions of martial arts, hence they also collectively pleaded.
Sighting such a scene, the remaining martial artists who had comprehended the true intention of martial arts couldn’t remain seated and fell to their knees:
“Please, Sect Leader show mercy to your fellow disciples, bestow upon us the method.”
Whoosh… whoosh…
At this moment, all disciples of the Shenxiao Sect in the practice field knelt on the ground, begging Pei Xuanjing to bestow upon them the method.
Watching their actions, even Pei Xuanjing, accustomed to hardened battle, was slightly moved.
Cultivating is tough, and no one wishes to perish in the process. If it were him without the simulator, knowing there is a way to advance, he would surely grasp it tightly!
“Sigh, you all. I merely stated that this method is not perfect and carries some risks, I’ve never said anything about withholding it from you. Now it seems I am the one with a heart of stone.” Pei Xuanjing shook his head and purposely laughed.
“Does Sect Leader’s statement mean that he agrees…?” A martial artist looked towards Pei Xuanjing in surprise.
“Since it has come to this, I should give you an opportunity.” Pei Xuanjing sighed and said in a serious tone.
“Disciple thanks Sect Leader!”
A chorus of grateful voices rose, all eyes filled with gratitude as they looked towards Pei Xuanjing.
“Silence.” Pei Xuanjing stopped their voice, and slowly said, “In this period, I’ve been studying the deficiencies of third-grade quasi-Grandmaster martial artists, the key obstacle to cultivation is the lack of true intention of martial arts because without it as the foundation, the Blood Qis cannot gather together. To just address this issue would make up for the shortcomings. For this, I have devised two methods to attempt to solve this problem.”
“The first method, I call it the Visualization Method! ”
“Disciple asks Sect Leader, what is this Visualization Method?” a disciple timely asked.
