Chapter 528: Chapter 476: Pei Xuanjing’s Surprise
If man-made spiritual roots are possible, then similarly, if the true intention of martial arts is too difficult to grasp, we could attempt to create an artificial version of it, using it as the foundation for a martial artist’s cultivation of their Blood Qi?
The more Pei Xuanjing thought about it, the more feasible this plan seemed because it was not based on mere conjecture, and there was a proven success.
Any major power’s disciple, if they show extraordinary martial talent in their childhood, would be instructed by a master from an early age and then they start to feel the true intention of martial arts. Under such influence, the likelihood of grasping the true meaning of martial arts when they break through to the third-grade in the future increases significantly.
When Pei Xuanjing’s Shenxiao Sword shattered, he gave half of the sword body to Pang Hong to carry, so Pang Hong could constantly perceive his own sword intent. This made it much easier for Pang Hong to grasp the true intention of martial arts when he later broke through to the third-grade.
Since such influence can enhance the understanding of the true intention of martial arts, Pei Xuanjing could completely follow this thought process to solve the problem of not being able to grasp it.
In a moment, Pei Xuanjing came up with a solution, and in fact, two of them.
However, whether these two methods are effective still needs to be tested.
“Someone.” Pei Xuanjing called outside the hall.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a martial artist from the Shenxiao Sect rushed in, “What is your bidding, Sect Leader (True Person)? This disciple is at your service.”
This martial artist was a third-grade Grandmaster Martial artist who could be a powerful force, even after the revival of heaven and earth, he willingly served as a servant at Pei Xuanjing’s disposal in the Shenxiao Sect.
Actually, it was not because Pei Xuanjing was arrogant, but because these people requested it. It is known that even the disciples of Shenxiao Sect, apart from attending periodic sermons, rarely get a chance to be guided by Pei Xuanjing, the number one person in the world.
That position of waiting for orders outside his hall, which most likely allows contact with Pei Xuanjing, had been discovered by some martial artists. After all, those near the water tower get the moon first. Being close and frequently interacting with the Sect Leader (True Person), even if they don’t get instructions then, being familiar in front of the Sect Leader (True Person) also has great advantages, providing more opportunities than others in the future.
Therefore, this position seemed inconspicuous and somewhat humble, but in reality, it was one of the hottest positions within the entire Shenxiao Sect. Even first-grade martial artists were attracted by it.
To compete for this position of obedience to orders, without the level of a third-grade martial artist, one has absolutely no qualification to participate.
“You are Xin Quanyang, Xin Huan is your grandfather, right?” Pei Xuanjing looked at the arriving Xin Quanyang, recalling his identity.
It could be said that even though they all submitted under him in his Shenxiao Sect, they were divided into many factions after all.
Pang Hong was his direct disciple, rightfully the most direct lineage. Yu Zhenzi, as the earliest person in the original Shenxiao Sect who was subjugated by him and collaborated with him to kill the original two Lords of Shenxiao Gate, had made significant contributions and was one of the most trusted people by him.
Then it was Zhang Jie, Deng Zhong, Xin Huan, and Tao Rong, who surrendered after the killing of the Shenxiao Gate Lord, followed by those who received the Shenxiao Sect’s inheritance under the command of the Shenxiao Gate Lord, whom Yu Zhenzi brought to subordinate them.
Among these people, Yu Zhenzi was alone, without much younger generation, so he focused on assisting Pang Hong, considering himself extraordinarily detached.
However, Deng Zhong’s four people had many family members and friends behind them. Although they also represented a power base in the Shenxiao Sect, those who were subdued later, grouped together according to their relations.
That is to say, these people, although united under the command of Pei Xuanjing, it didn’t mean that they didn’t have any disputes among them. It was just that Pei Xuanjing made the cake too big and had absolute power, which kept these disputes within a healthy range and prevented them from turning their faces due to interest disputes.
Pei Xuanjing was well aware of these things, but he didn’t care much about them. After all, these were part of the process that his reorganized force had to go through, so they didn’t matter at all.
As long as these people did not disobey his orders and did not harm the interests of the Shenxiao Sect, he would not meddle in these matters. On the contrary, some competition within this range would promote the development and growth of the sect, resulting in a positive outcome.
“Indeed, I didn’t expect the Sect Leader (True Person), who manages thousands of matters every day, to still remember this disciple.” Xin Quanyang’s eyes flashed with excitement, his face became somewhat flushed and he was overjoyed.
As one of the junior members of the Shenxiao Sect, if his grandfather, who followed the Sect Leader (True Person) from an early time, Xin Huan, who is now a Spirit Realm powerhouse, hadn’t pleaded for him, he, a new third-grade master, would never have had the opportunity to serve in this position.
It can be said that his generation could be considered as disciples who really grew up under the protection of Pei Xuanjing after the Shenxiao Sect was re-established.
Plus, when he was a child, he also experienced a period of hiding and struggling with his family. So, for Pei Xuanjing, the Sect Leader (True Person) who had given them shelter, they held a sense of admiration and fanatical adoration. Given the power of Shenxiao Sect today and Pei Xuanjing’s secluded life and rare management of the sect, even many second-grade martial artists may not necessarily remember their names, let alone a mere third-grade Master.
Now hearing that Pei Xuanjing actually remembered his name, even if it was because of his grandfather, Xin Quanyang was extremely excited and could hardly control himself.
Pei Xuanjing smiled, understanding the admiration that these younger generation disciples had towards him, knowing that as long as these people could maintain healthy competition, the Shenxiao Sect would not have internal strife.
He chatted with Xin Quanyang, inquired about his cultivation, and once Xin Quanyang had settled his excited mood, he asked, “I have something to ask you. Do you know how many pseudo-Grandmaster martial artists there are in the sect now?”
Since he has thought about how to solve the problem for pseudo-Grandmaster martial artists who can’t comprehend the true intention of martial arts, he needs to conduct some tests, and the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect are the best candidates.
Upon hearing Pei Xuanjing’s inquiry, Xin Quanyang responded, “There are more than 5,000 pseudo-Grandmasters in the sect. However, mostly they are located outside the border and Shenxiao Mountain. There are also about a hundred or so in Tiandu.”
“Are there so many people?” A look of surprise flashed in Pei Xuanjing’s eyes when he heard this.
He could hardly believe that his Shenxiao Sect would have so many pseudo-Grandmasters. He originally thought that a few hundred, almost a thousand would be considered quite good, but he did not expect to hear such a huge number.
A number of pseudo-Grandmaster martial artists up to 5,000, that’s enormous. He remembered how few third-grade martial artists there were when he first started to cultivate.
