Chapter 760: The Battle of Zhenxuan
Of course, it is not accurate to say that the calculation is actually not accurate, because as a mortal, it is almost an impossible task to calculate against the true immortal.
Immortals who have the ability to act on whim are almost like cheaters in terms of calculations.
Unless there is an existence of the same level actively covering up, malice will be sensed the moment it is revealed.
Of course, normally, they don't care much about these little bugs that can be killed by blowing a breath. Who can become an immortal without a long list of enemies behind them.
In fact, Yunru and the others just planned to be the little spark that set off the powder keg, just like the fuse of the First World War in the history of the earth. They were just ordinary people.
The fierce conflicts within the federation were only suppressed due to strong pressure from the outside. They pretended to be harmonious and unified to the outside world, maintaining a balance with difficulty.
In the final analysis, they were just an organization stuck together out of necessity, and they couldn't see eye to eye with each other from the beginning.
Today, when the Federation fleet is far away from the sun and is no longer threatened by the White Land, the entire expedition fleet is like a powder keg that can explode at any time, with only a small spark missing.
Struggles for interests, ideas, beliefs, roads, old and new grudges are all mixed together. Anyone may become the right person and detonate all problems.
…
"There's going to be a war." In a coffee shop in Marinjoia, two men in rather retro clothes were chatting with each other.
If anyone who is familiar with the development history of federal fashion sees this, they will definitely wonder why these two are still wearing old styles from hundreds of years ago. Nowadays, apart from custom-made clothes, no manufacturer will produce such outdated clothes.
If it wasn't for a "costume" movie, no one would wear it like this.
But such weird costumes actually didn't attract anyone's attention. It was as if other customers in the coffee shop couldn't see them at all.
The waiters coming and going also completely ignored these two men.
"Mysterious cultivators and true cultivators, pioneers and successors, the winner should have been decided long ago. If you hadn't stopped them, this war would have broken out at least fifty years earlier."
"I never interfered with anyone."
"Your existence itself is the greatest interference."
"..."
"Do you really want your daughter to be the one who started the fire? Intervening in a battle at the level of a true immortal, a mortal wouldn't have much of a chance to survive." After that, he picked up the coffee in front of him and drank it all.
"I didn't expect you to use your hands again."
"If I get too far away from people, I won't be able to go back at all."
"Are you now learning to be a human being again?" Another man in ancient costume with a pair of pink and phoenix eyes smiled, as if he had heard the most interesting joke in the world.
"One day you will understand"
"Hopefully I won't have that day."
"A new era is about to begin. If they don't go through life and death, how can they become successful?"
"New Era?"
"Your light is so dazzling, so domineering that it suppresses all other vitality. The so-called new era is naturally the era when you are not around." Yun Jie confessed.
"Only when no one can dominate the world can a hundred flowers bloom."
"..."
Bai Mo was speechless for a moment.
…
The Xuanxiu in the Zhenxuan dispute refers to the high-level beings in the Federation who agree with extraordinary people to join the world and live together with ordinary people.
They believe that monks should personally participate in the management of society and use their own advantages to promote the development of human society, tending to maintain the status quo of the Federation.
The attitude of true cultivators is exactly the opposite. They are more accustomed to removing themselves from mortal society and allowing extraordinary beings to establish their own social structure alone.
Mortal affairs are left to the mortals to manage themselves. The mortal world is like a fantasy world and only exists as a reserve base for extraordinary talents.
Immortals and mortals are separated from each other, and they will never interact with each other until old age and death.
Once you enter the fairy gate, it is as deep as the sea.
Every year, as long as the seedlings that are qualified to cultivate immortality are handed over to the spirit world, all other matters in the mortal world will be taken care of.
As for the Mortal Empire, you can tell by its name that there are shadows of Zhenxiu behind it. It is they who have supported the decades-long struggle between the Mortal Empire and the federation where Xuan Xiu dominates.
Both sides have their reasons.
Xuanxiu always believes that everyone is human and there should be no forced division of boundaries. For people who are separated into two worlds, cooperation and common development is the right way.
What's more, many people's social relationships are inseparable from ordinary people, especially young low-level monks who don't have a bunch of relatives and friends who are ordinary people. Forcibly severing them is equivalent to asking them to abandon their wives and children, and be separated from their parents. .
On the other hand, real cultivators feel that living with ordinary people is too restrictive. They have to shrink their hands and feet every day and struggle to control the power in their hands. Otherwise, if they are not careful, they may kill a few passers-by.
Especially for martial arts monks, as long as their control is slightly weaker, the mortals around them may have their hearts burst and die due to the resonance, or they may be brainwashed into fools by the overflowing martial arts will.
Daily contact should be handled with care. Maybe a monk may think that a gentle pat on the shoulder to say hello, but if it falls on an ordinary person, it will turn flesh and bones into mud.
Since everyone is having such a hard time together, it's better to separate completely.
As for the opinions of ordinary people... according to many secret public opinion surveys over the years, most people are in favor of Zhenxiu's plan.
The immortals return to immortals, and the mortals return to mortals.
This is not a matter of accepting fate.
Living under the same blue sky every day with a monster who can blow you to death with a breath is really insecure. There are countless news reports every year about monks who accidentally kill mortals because of their obsession.
Not to mention that in a society dominated by extraordinary people, the middle and upper classes of society are completely occupied by monks, and mortals have no chance to get ahead. It is better to become completely independent and manage themselves. In this way, mortals at least have room for advancement. Being a chicken head is better than The eternal phoenix tail comes at a good time.
…
"Why did you choose true cultivation?" Bai Mo suddenly asked after a long silence.
"Because my daughter likes it!" Yun Jie said an answer he never expected.
"..."
"I actually don't care about the Zhenxuan dispute. It's just like that to me. But since Xiaoru is on the side of the Mortal Empire, then I will support her."
"..."
"Don't laugh at me. Unlike you, I can cultivate to the point of cutting off seven emotions and six desires. On the other hand, I have to learn human living habits just to be a bit human.
In my opinion, becoming an immortal is just to live a freer and happier life. If I lose the ability to feel joy from the beginning, then what is the purpose of cultivating this path?
Maybe in ten thousand years I will be numb to family, friendship and love, but at least not now. "
