TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 1422: Chapter 557 Yang and Yu, the Two Immortals_3 Chapter 1422: Chapter 557 Yang and Yu, the Two Immortals_3 Therefore, after he became an Immortal, he reciprocated generosity, holding a considerable favoritism towards the Nine Provinces.

But these biases were all within controllable limits.

He did not betray the interests of his sect or disclose its core secrets to the Nine Provinces; he simply fostered good relations with the cultivators there, along with the disciples who depended on him.

And these actions were openly supported or tacitly allowed by the previous two School Leaders.

In short, Yang Xiuan had not acted inappropriately.

Even if the sect were to investigate his actions, at most they would give a verbal reprimand after looking into it; they couldn’t really do anything to him.

Now that the sect does not allow disciples to have too obvious an external bias or to form cliques that cause actual divisions within the sect,

then he would just stop showing such preferences.

Over the years, he had helped the Nine Provinces a lot and had repaid the kindness of being given treasures.

As for not forming cliques, this too was possible.

After becoming an Immortal, with a lifespan of three thousand years, Yang Xiuan’s sense of Clan loyalty was not as strong as it had been before his ascension.

After all, Immortals and mortals are really two different species, with two different sets of ideals.

The lifespan of a mortal, even that of a cultivator among mortals, is far too short when compared to a True Immortal.

Even cultivators who have achieved the state of ‘Five Qi Towards Primordial’ only have lifespans equivalent to a quarter of that of a True Immortal.

And if we were to talk about ordinary mortals, over the course of a True Immortal’s life, his descendants might propagate through a hundred or two hundred generations.

With such continuous propagation through generations, aside from sharing a surname, among those who claim to be descendants, how much of their blood is truly his?

Under these circumstances, as each close relative dies, even if they come from the same Clan, it becomes very hard to feel much for the descendants who are separated by countless generations.

In contrast,

it is indeed the cultivation of his own sect and those fellow disciples advancing together on the Daoist Path, and those mentors who educated him diligently, who are closer to him.

Because they can accompany him from the beginning to the end, their relationship spanning his long life, which is far more important than mere kinship.

If they had to choose between their Clan and their sect, most would probably choose the latter.

And now, Yang Xiuan, just over a thousand years old, had already seen his children’s lifespans come to an end.

However, some from his grandchildren’s generation and great-grandchildren’s generation were still alive.

With these somewhat close descendants around, he wasn’t completely cut off from familial affection.

But without direct offspring, relying solely on some grandchildren, it is difficult to say whether his heart could be completely tied down.

After all, he had only been the head of the Yang Family for three to four hundred years.

But as a disciple of the Taiping Dao, he had been one for seven hundred years.

Between the two, which has a higher sense of belonging is, of course, his life as a disciple of the Taiping Dao.

Now, if the sect wants to reform and strengthen itself, as someone who has deeply benefited from the sect, and even relied on the sect to become an Immortal, Yang Xiuan certainly has no reason to refuse.

In fact, deep down, he might even be pleased.

The chaos within the sect, although he had played a part in it, was the result of the overall turmoil, a reluctant conformity.

It is not that he truly wanted to bring down the Taiping Dao.

It is important to distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions.

Therefore, in light of all this, Yang Xiuan felt some remorse in his heart, but only minor remorse, with no great regret.

Deep inside, he had never thought of betraying the sect.

The sect had shown him kindness by nurturing him and affection by guiding him on his Daoist Path.

These kindnesses are enough for him to spend a lifetime repaying.

How could he possibly betray them!

However, Yang Xiuan could guarantee that he himself had a clear conscience, but as for this Junior Brother Yu, how he really felt was quite another matter.

The countless rumors from the outside world, he knew them all too well.

Compared to himself, who came from a clean background, Yu Shipei was obviously full of dubious points, with an origin that seriously warranted suspicion.

Especially now.

In the face of the sect’s reform, this person was so flustered, it looked more and more like he had a problem, hiding a big secret in his heart.

Thinking of this.

Yang Xiuan’s heart gave rise to vigilance, and as he looked at the other, he wondered whether he should take him down and then send him to the new School Leader for interrogation.

“Elder Brother Yang, how can you slander me like this?”

Faced with Yang Xiuan’s heart-piercing words, Yu Shipei’s complexion changed dramatically, his face showing anger, “The sect has nurtured me, plucked me from among mortals, brought me back to the sect, taught me the Dao Law, only then did I have today.

I am not without feelings, how could I possibly be emotionless?

The great kindness of the sect in this life and this world is difficult to repay, how dare I betray it?

The reason I’m panicked is merely because previously I was blinded by selfish desires, formed cliques, and fought with Elder Brother Yang, which led to the sect descending into this chaos.

Conscious of my past wrongs, afraid the sect would blame and punish me, I wanted to consult with Elder Brother on how to redress my faults.

But instead, Elder Brother, you harbor such suspicions against me, what do you take your Junior Brother for?”

Yu Shipei showed a tragic and indignant expression, a look of someone who was unreasonably suspected and overwhelmed with outrage.

And Yang Xiuan, watching his expression, stared carefully for a long time but still struggled to discern whether the other was acting or truly showing his emotions.

After consideration, he had to let it go.

Whether the other was treacherous or loyal, it was up to the new School Leader to investigate and deal with it.

Even if the School Leader didn’t care, there were many fellow disciples and uncles above, and higher up was Elder Taishang, right?

It was not his place, as a mere Cultivator from the lower ranks of the sect, to meddle.

Upon this thought, his face finally softened, showing a hint of apology, “Junior Brother, do not take offense, it was Elder Brother’s haste and panic that made me speak without filter.

If I have hurt you, Junior Brother, I hope you can forgive me.”

“I know there are many rumors within the sect, causing many to doubt me, but my heart has always been true, always with the sect.

Elder Brother having these doubts is quite normal; I don’t blame you.

But the sincerity of my heart is as clear as daylight, and the sun and moon can bear witness.

In time, Time and Heaven will prove my heartfelt loyalty to the sect.”

Yu Shipei, speaking from a heart filled with sorrow, expressed his grievances and then cried out, “It’s just that I think of the sect, long to be close to the sect, but the sect has never given me the chance.

During this change of School Leader, such a major event, you and I were the last to learn, along with those disciples who were of the same batch.

As True Immortals of the sect, are we not even to be consulted about the change of School Leader?

The sect treats us as though we are outsiders.

But for major issues, several successive School Leaders and the hidden elders within the sect discuss among themselves, yet we who are from the local Changqing Domain are kept out.

We are all disciples of the Taiping Dao, so why are we treated differently?

This change of School Leader, too, brought forth a School Leader from the hidden veins that I had never heard of, how many more things within the sect are being kept from us?

How much longer must we wait, and what must we do, to earn the sect’s trust?”

Yu Shipei voiced his dissatisfaction, venting years of resentment towards the sect.

And as Yang Xiuan listened to him speak this way, his demeanor also changed, feeling a pang in his heart.

A knot that lay across the hearts of all disciples of the Taiping Dao was revealed in these words.
