Chapter 1501: Chapter 1460: Unable to Reach an Agreement

“Sect Master, I have already shown my sincerity. You should also show yours. I believe there’s no need for me to elaborate on the principle of mutual destruction. When it comes to the issue between the secular world and the Penglai Immortal Domain, we must unite. Otherwise, the fall of the secular world will mean the end of the Penglai Immortal Domain.”

“Bah! A young whelp with barely any peach fuzz dares to spout such nonsense here? No matter what small world or great world you come from, the notion of annihilating the Penglai Immortal Domain is a mere dream! Our Immortal Domain is filled with powerful figures. Dealing with that group is child’s play.”

Just as Lu Chuan finished speaking, someone immediately retorted before Kong Yuanliang could even open his mouth: “The Penglai Immortal Domain neither needs nor will ever compromise to cooperate with the secular world! We will protect the Immortal Domain, and as for the secular world? Ha, it has nothing to do with us.”

Lu Chuan turned towards the voice and met the gaze of the elder with white hair and beard, and said calmly, “Senior, how old are you?”

“What’s it to you? It doesn’t matter, just asking casually, though I never thought there would still be such ignorant and self-complacent people in the Penglai Immortal Domain to this day. Has no Sect Master of the Penglai Immortal Sect ever revealed the truth?”

“What truth? Let me tell you, brash youngster, do not speak recklessly here! It’s not your place to speak in the Penglai Immortal Domain!”

“Reckless words? No, no, no. As to whether what I say is true or false, there are naturally people who can judge. Some days ago, the Penglai Immortal Domain must have experienced turmoil, right? Internal factions were subverted, turning their guns on their own people; this was merely a test. If the Penglai Immortal Domain assumes the enemy is only of this level, that’s arrogant.

Everyone knows that on Earth, the Penglai Immortal Domain is considered a treasure land for the Immortal Clan, rich in Spiritual Power, and has a complete cultivation system with strong overall power. Yet, compared to the small world, the Penglai Immortal Domain is merely a half-filled bottle.

In the past, when Earth’s Spiritual Power dried up, some, for selfish reasons, transferred all Immortal Clan caves and blessed lands to the small world, where Spiritual Power is far richer than in the Penglai Immortal Domain, with more diverse inheritances and countless forces like the Buddhist and Taoist Sects. What the Penglai Immortal Domain prides itself on is nothing before the small world.

The senior claims that the Penglai Immortal Domain can withstand the entire small world and protect itself under any circumstances. To me, that’s arrogance born of ignorance.”

“You! Hmph, this old man won’t waste words with you. In any case, I absolutely disagree! The secular world is in trouble, and if the Penglai Immortal Domain doesn’t hit them when they’re down, it’s already the utmost benevolence. To expect my Penglai Immortal Domain to fight to the death for them? They don’t deserve it!”

Seeing the elder’s determined attitude, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but sigh lightly.

If most of the people in the Penglai Immortal Domain are as stubborn as him, how hard it would be to persuade them?

The truth is right before their eyes, yet they only believe what they want to believe. How pitiful.

But on the other hand, it’s likely the same attitude within the secular world. Before a real crisis hits, they are all lost in their own fantasies. Lu Chuan could only wait, wait for an opportunity.

Wait until the people from the small world take action here, cause enough pain, instill fear in both sides, perhaps then they can sit down again and have a proper talk without past grudges.

“What, young whelp, lost for words? Then hurry and scram, the Penglai Immortal Domain doesn’t welcome you!”

“Not lost for words, just no longer need to say anything. You, thinking yourself old and knowledgeable, deny all change before it even happens. What more can I say to you? In the end, your mind is already fixed, no matter what I say, you just deny it thickly. Talking to you is merely wasting words.”

This first negotiation naturally ended without a result.

Perhaps the recent victory made most people in the Penglai Immortal Domain complacent, making them completely overlook an incredibly important issue.

They won this time, but most of the people they killed were from the Penglai Immortal Domain itself. Just this once, three Domain Lords chose to betray, losing three Spirit Dividing forces at once, what about next time?

If internal consumption continues like this, their strength will gradually decline until the small world judges they are no longer a threat; that will probably be the doomsday of the Penglai Immortal Domain.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but sigh lightly.

Since he had already come, before achieving any results, Lu Chuan naturally wouldn’t leave easily. Since Kong Yuanliang was annoyed at the sight of Lu Chuan, he simply sent him to Little Frost Peak, staying in Kong Zhaozhao’s original place.

But that’s fine, being alone is quieter, allowing Lu Chuan to reorganize his thoughts.

So far, both sides are barely protecting themselves.

The secular world’s offensive is weak because there are not many cultivation families within the secular world, and some of the subverted people were Martial Artists. Therefore, the Martial Alliance could quickly regain strength, while the Penglai Immortal Domain paid a high price to quell the rebellion.

The saddest part is that even though both sides lost thoroughly in this war, they are both smug about their performance.

Thinking of this, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

Lost in thought, Lu Chuan suddenly heard approaching footsteps. Turning towards the sound, he met Kong Zhaozhao’s gaze. Lu Chuan sat up and smiled, “Zhaozhao, what brings you here?”

“I came to see you. You must feel helpless, right? Even though the truth is right before their eyes, they refuse to believe it.”

Kong Zhaozhao entered the room, sat beside Lu Chuan, and sighed softly, “Actually, before you arrived, I had already told my father that we should, and must, cooperate with the secular world. Only this way can we get through this crisis.”

“Then, what does your father think?”

“Father still can’t make up his mind. Actually, he understands that with a great enemy before us, continuing internal consumption is pointless, but he also won’t let go of irrelevant pride and refuses to bow his head actively. This is the mindset of most people in the Penglai Immortal Domain.”

“It’s been hard on you…”

“Actually, I’m fine. After all, Father won’t get angry with me, and everyone gives way to me because I’m the Sect Master’s daughter. But you, to come alone into the Penglai Immortal Domain, you have a lot of courage, don’t you? Aren’t you afraid that my father, still angry, might kill you on sight?”

“Isn’t that where you come in?”

Meeting Lu Chuan’s gaze, Kong Zhaozhao giggled, then produced an elixir pill like magic, placing it into Lu Chuan’s hand.

“This is…”

“A Nourishing God Pill, Father asked me to give it to you. He said the Spirit Suppressing Nail caused great harm to the Divine Soul, and for you to take this, so you won’t end up becoming a fool, causing me sorrow. Actually, Father’s not a bad person.”
