Chapter 617: Chapter 121 Determination_3

[Able cultivators work alongside the people, tilling the land for food, governing while having their meals. Those without ambition find lifelong sustenance, while the ambitious embark on the Immortal Path. Everyone has a place to belong, everyone has hopes.]

[For one hundred twenty-nine thousand years, the strong have preyed upon the weak, a constant truth through the ages. Today, for the first time, we see Universal Unity.]

[I, Qingcang, am willing to bear this responsibility, and should I fail, I will venture to the Void.]

Xiao Yunyi read through each piece, every word felt like a mountain, heavily pressing down, leaving one breathless.

Indeed, this is not the first time Universal Unity has been attempted, yet it feels more oppressive than ever before.

He sensed the determination of Qingcang Immortal.

The Void is a place of exile; unless necessary, no one goes to such a forsaken place.

He muttered: "The strong have preyed upon the weak through the ages, today for the first time we see Universal Unity."

"Sect Leader, what should we do?"

An elderly elder, trembling slightly, asked.

He appeared quite frightened.

Xiao Yunyi responded: "What can be done, can we openly oppose it? Observe the upcoming decrees from the Jade Palace, and if they are not excessive, try to comply without standing out as a target."

This statement immediately received agreement from others.

"The Sect Leader is right, endure and it will pass, hasn’t it always failed after forty years?"

"Human nature is unpredictable; Qingcang Immortal means well, but life is so harsh, who would want to suffer through it? It’s good enough for the common folk to have food to eat, do they face the Devil Clan?"

"Indeed, should the Devil Clan invade again, the cultivators must come to the rescue."

Within the Governance Pavilion, amidst discussion, tranquility quickly returned.

Anxiety is natural, but with prior experience, this time they know how to deal with the Immortals.

They intend to cooperate with Qingcang Immortal’s wishes, and when those below begin to embezzle again, they turn a blind eye.

If the Immortals wish to kill, they also comply.

Yet, killing cannot solve the problem. Immortals cannot watch everyone, and in the end, it’s merely chaos, and the realm returns to their control.

Forty years is short, a hundred not long; they can wait.

Xiao Yunyi left the Governance Pavilion, Xie Yunnan followed closely behind.

The latter, young and experiencing this for the first time, having seen it extensively in records, felt fear, yet faint anticipation.

She asked: "Master, what do you think will come of this Universal Unity?"

"The world will be turned upside down."

Xiao Yunyi answered without hesitation, gazing at the bright Sky Dome, as if seeing a sunrise gradually rising.

By that afternoon, Xie Yunnan understood the meaning behind her master’s words about upheaval.

The True Martial Palace ordered, eight thousand Taoist Soldiers stationed in Sword State to be deployed entirely to neighboring Huajian State within three years.

Taoist Soldiers from Huajian State were transferred to Taiyi State, and those from Taiyi State to Sword State, with similar plans executed across the realm.

Being a Taoist Soldier is a job; as long as there is no criminal record, any cultivator can assume the role. With excellent welfare benefits, nearly all capable cultivators choose to become Taoist Soldiers.

This greatly diminishes instability.

Invisible hands are reshuffling the key cultivator group of the realm, dispersing them like cards across various regions.

Xie Yunnan also received orders; she is to go to Xuanhuang State as Commander.

With three months to assume the position.

A month later.

Above the sea of clouds, countless Immortal Boats traverse, departing and arriving alike.

The sudden redeployment order from True Martial Palace caused widespread grumbling, but eventually, being on the government payroll, few openly disobeyed.
