Chapter 612: New Qian Gang Theory

"What?"

If it weren't for the fact that the hearing and eyesight of a Nascent Soul cultivator were extremely sensitive, Jing Yu would have almost thought that he had misheard.

Xiao Guanying, a Divine Transformation cultivator...

Want to rebuild the system?

Even though Jing Yu has not yet started to practice the power of laws, he can still feel the absurdity of Xiao Guanying's words.

Although the cultivators who have reached the level of the Divine Transformation Realm are already at the top of the lower realm, in reality, they have only just begun to explore the path to immortality and cannot be considered to have reached the pinnacle of the path to immortality.

The understanding of the application of laws in the first stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm is extremely superficial and is still in the stage of imitation. It is considered a natural talent for ordinary cultivators to ensure that they can understand the laws in the right direction.

But Xiao Guanying actually wants to reform the [Qian Gang Law]!

This is simply unheard of.

Xiao Guanying didn't seem to notice Jing Yu's questioning expression, but instead started talking freely:

"Qian Gang is arbitrary and dictatorial, and is extremely overbearing. Throughout history, cultivators who practice this law have risen and fallen by it... But I think, since [Qian Gang] is [the Principles of Heaven], does this [Principle] really have to be arbitrary and dictatorial for eternity?"

"The Way of Heaven creates all things, and naturally it can accommodate all things. I believe that if the [Qian Gang Law] is to forge a new path, it must embrace all things, and be broad-minded... It must maintain its lofty image, but it cannot be arbitrary and intolerant."

"When a minister's achievements were so great that they threatened the ruler, the emperor, out of jealousy, killed him... This is the mentality of an emperor in a mortal dynasty, but it's unworthy of the mindset of a Heavenly Emperor who wields the authority of Heaven."

Xiao Guanying smiled and said, "The Way of Heaven accommodates all things. I will become the Heavenly Emperor who rules over the Immortal Continent in the future. You, Taoist Xuanjing, are from the Immortal Continent. Even if you become an immortal in the future, you will be a cultivator born in the Immortal Continent. You will only enrich the foundation of our Immortal Continent."

"And to strengthen the Immortal Continent's foundation is to strengthen my own foundation... Why should I hinder your path?"

Jing Yu remained silent for a while, then raised his own question:

"I don't understand... You said that the Way of Heaven accommodates all things, but if that's the case, then the Qian Gang can't make decisions arbitrarily. Doesn't that deviate from the direction of the Qian Gang Law? So, is what you're comprehending still the Qian Gang Law?"

It should be noted that the most crucial reason why cultivators can only achieve [pseudo-godhood] in the cave is that the laws within the cave are incomplete and they cannot comprehend the [truth].

But isn't Xiao Guanying now also misinterpreting the original meaning of [Qian Gang]?

Xiao Guanying answered Jing Yu's question:

"It's very simple. Ever since the death of the cultivator who attempted to take control of the Qian Gang, and the decline of the Immortal Dynasty in the Upper Realm, the Qian Gang Law has become as weak as a candle in the wind."

"If there is a powerful and enlightened being behind the law, then it naturally cannot be changed. However, if the law is ownerless, then there is a chance that it can be transformed."

"As the one who reshapes the [Qian Gang], if the path I take can restore the former power of the law, I may even have a chance to gain the favor of the law and improve my path."

Jing Yu suddenly realized, "Yes, top-level laws like [Spacetime], [Yin Yang], and [Five Elements] are more of an objective law that reveals the world. One is one, two is two. Low-level cultivators can only imitate them, but they cannot go against them. Otherwise, they will only prove a wrong path."

"But rules like the Qian Gang, which were formed after birth, are less restrictive and more flexible. While there might be a dead end, how and where to go along the way are still open to discussion... At least there's no need to stick to the rules."

Jing Yu vaguely grasped the essence of understanding the laws: "Then the [Law of Life] is not the same. It is even different from the [Law of Qian Gang], which is a [prosperity and decline] that is formed and then shattered. It is almost just a prototype that has not yet formed a system and can be manipulated at will."

Even though they had different views, Jing Yu couldn't help but admire Xiao Guanying:

"Senior Xingyuan once said that cultivators who placed themselves at the highest level of the Law with the [Qian Gang] were like ants trying to shake a tree, overestimating their own capabilities. Isn't Xiao Guanying, who attempted to recreate the Qian Gang, even more arrogant? Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, he truly possesses great courage!"

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel the desire to win: "The [Qian Gang] has collapsed, and now Xiao Guanying wants to restore it... The [Law of Fate], on the other hand, is created from nothing, so it should be more difficult... But I have the [Questioning Mirror Fate Method] as a general guideline, so I always have a reference, which makes me much stronger than him."

"He, Xiao Guanying, a native immortal from the Immortal Continent, has such ambition and courage. I am the Third Prince of the Evergreen Immortal Court, after all. Am I any less than him?"

Jing Yu's expression changed, and he was lost in thought for a moment. Xiao Guanying thought he was completely overwhelmed by his grand ambitions, so he couldn't help but strike while the iron was hot:

"Rebuilding the Qian Gang is not as simple as it sounds. The first step is to unify the Immortal Continent and integrate the resources of the world. Only then can we be considered to be in charge of the authority of the Heavenly Dao in this world."

"Xuan Jing, do you know why there are so few Divine Transformation cultivators in the world? The difficulty of Divine Transformation is one aspect, but it is also due to the fact that the various sects cherish their possessions."

"Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about [Songfeng Pavilion]. This Penglai Taoist sect holds an immortal eye, which is enough for three Divine Transformation cultivators to comprehend the laws."

Xiao Guanying sneered, "But [Songfeng Pavilion] only occupies a small corner of Zhongzhou. How many talented people can it possibly have? After thousands of years of wasted time, it has only produced a few Divine Transformation cultivators. And the only one who has not yet ascended and remains in the mortal world is Qi Tianhua."

"There's a limit to how fast a cultivator can comprehend the laws. Qi Tianhua can't use up all that spiritual energy. The remaining two spots are a waste. But even if they remain empty, Qi Tianhua won't let them go to any genius outside of the Songfeng Five Mountains Sect!"

"He even has darker intentions. This Transformation Master of Songfeng Pavilion probably wouldn't even consider a disciple from another family."

"The righteous path is already in such a state, let alone the demonic path... Those demon kings have even tightly grasped the Immortal Eyes in their hands. They won't even give their disciples the chance to become gods until they are close to ascending!"

"This has created a great wonder in the Immortal Continent—most of the righteous Divine Transformation Seeds die before reaching the Divine Transformation Path, while most of the demonic Divine Transformation Seeds die at the end of their lifespan! It's truly ridiculous."

"And if I unify the Immortal Continent, all cultivators in the world will obey my orders. From then on, the [Immortal Eyes] in this world will no longer be privately owned. I will coordinate and allocate them from now on. Anyone who has made contributions to the Immortal Continent and whose aptitude and foundation meet the requirements for impacting the Divine Transformation stage can attempt to achieve Divine Transformation!"

Xiao Guanying smiled leisurely and said, "I want you to understand one thing. If the status quo remains, the righteous Heavenly Sovereigns of Penglai will be bound by their own prejudices and will not grant you the opportunity to become a god."

"The Penglai righteous path won't, and the devil path certainly won't... The Inner Sea Dragon Clan, the Celestial Demon Clan, and the Ancient Buddha Buddha, none of them will allow you to become a god."

"Helping me clear the world and unify the universe is your only chance to ascend to the higher realms."
