Chapter 503: Chapter 451: Want a Divine Position? (Celebrating 1 Million Words!)
“Tell them, not everyone can have a Divine Position. But if they want a Divine Position, they need to give something in exchange, they can’t just swallow the benefits without offering anything in return!”
Although Pei Xuanjing didn’t show himself, his words were clearly transmitted, reaching every force’s ears.
The various parties didn’t object to Pei Xuanjing’s request. After all, if Pei Xuanjing were to monopolize the Divine Position and let the Taoist School absorb it alone, unwilling to share it with them, they could use the initial reasons to jointly coerce him.
But now, Pei Xuanjing has agreed to share, as long as they pay the price, they have no excuse to object.
After all, to get something, one has to pay a price. This is only fair. Regardless of Taindu’s opposition, Pei Xuanjing held the high moral ground.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled slightly, raising another question: “Are there counting limits to the Divine Positions?”
“Depends on whether those people can think through it.” Pei Xuanjing replied to Bai Xiaosheng with a smile.
As for the matter of the Divine Positions, Pei Xuanjing hadn’t thought of monopolizing. There was no need for that.
Others might be ignorant, but how could he and Zhu Houji, the two controllers of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, not know? The Divine Position is more than sufficient. To put it bluntly, even if all the martial artists and civilians of this world are given Divine Positions through enfeoffment, it could be done.
Of course, indiscriminate granting of enfeoffment not only reduces the efficacy of the Divine Position to the minimum but is also meaningless.
After the establishment of the Divine Dynasty, besides granting Divine Positions, the greater benefit is that the entire Great Ming territory will be linked together, covered by countless streams of Qi Luck, and draw more Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. This Heaven and Earth Essence Qi will gradually change the bodies of ordinary people and martial artists, transformation in their cultivation talent.
Moreover, as the saying goes, “scarcity makes things precious”. If the Divine Position is common, it will make the position seem tasteless. Therefore, the number of Divine Positions needs to be controlled to show its preciousness and its value.
According to Pei Xuanjing’s estimate, with the current Qi Luck of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, the warriors who truly exert the effect of the Divine Position must at least step into the third-grade realm. Only the strong of this realm can fully bring out their combat power and bear the Divine Position.
Indeed, can bear the Divine Position.
This Divine Position is not cheap. It’s not that you can bear it as soon as it is granted to you. It takes qualifications. Come to speak about it, the third-grade realm is most suitable now.
In the future, when the strength of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty is further elevated and accumulates more Qi Luck, the strength to bear the enfeoffment will be lowered, and there will be more Divine Positions.
Of course, even now, some things aren’t fixed.
If Pei Xuanjing or Zhu Houji are willing to pay a certain price, those with lower strength can also be granted the Divine Position, but this will consume more Qi Luck and other costs.
But, as always, why do you have the qualifications for Pei Xuanjing or Zhu Houji to bear the cost for you?
“It seems I’m correct in my guess.” Hearing the answer, Bai Xiaosheng immediately understood Pei Xuanjing’s idea.
At the same time, he also guessed the thoughts of Emperor who was in the Imperial City.
With an abundant quantity of Divine Positions, the Emperor can deliberately let this matter go, observe the real faces of his ministers, and the situation.
With the big target of ground Divine Dynasty before them, everyone could unite. But when it comes to sharing the fruits of success, many people begin to show their real faces.
But then, Bai Xiaosheng, and Pei Xuanjing had no intention to meddle. After all, this is an internal matter of the Great Ming imperial court, and they should not intervene.
Even if they were to intervene, it could easily cause unnecessary trouble and arouse the Emperor’s suspicion. Now that the Emperor has greatly improved in prestige, they need to maintain a certain level of respect for a strong person.
Of course, the Emperor will also understand not to interfere in the matters of the martial world and leave it to Pei Xuanjing to handle. This can be considered a tacit understanding between the two parties.
“I believe the wise ones already know what I really want.” Pei Xuanjing played with the Golden Book and Jade Scroll in his hand, laughing playfully.
Bai Xiaosheng also smiled slightly: “Of course, the world has never lacked wise people. It’s just that many people appear stubborn and slow, but that’s only because the current benefits are not enough to prompt them to change.”
As for Pei Xuanjing’s thought, Bai Xiaosheng understood that he wanted to use this opportunity to exchange for those people’s skills and accomplish his own plans.
In Bai Xiaosheng’s opinion, Pei Xuanjing has succeeded. After all, previously, those people were conservative and persistently claimed that their ancestral skills could not be leaked. But the temptation of the Divine Position is another matter, and it far surpasses any material possessions.
The inherited skills mean nothing if they could get a Divine Position. This long life would not only give the strong more time to become stronger but also add to their faction’s resources.
“Let’s see what choice they make.” Pei Xuanjing said with a smile, he seemed to be confident about the following events.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled but said nothing, because he held the same opinion.
But at this time, he heard Pei Xuanjing say, “In addition to teaching all the skills, I also plan to establish a Taoist Academy like the academies of the Confucian Gate.”
Bai Xiaosheng showed a surprised face: “Taoist Academy?”
“Yes, it’s going to be called the Taoist Academy. I’ll be the dean myself, spread the Way to the world, give lectures on time, and anyone willing to learn is welcome,” Pei Xuanjing said.
His statement of imitating the academies of the Confucian Gate is just a metaphor. His real aim is to design according to the education system of his previous life, and start a school teaching the method of cultivation.
If this plan can be implemented, combined with his plan to release all skill inheritances to all martial artists in the world and spread these schools throughout the states, prefectures, and counties of the world, that would really encourage countless people to cultivate.
After hearing Pei Xuanjing’s plan, Bai Xiaosheng felt a flash of shock and said, “If this plan truly gets implemented, your status might become as prestigious as those founders of the Taoist School, and the scientists of the Hundred Schools of Thought.”
He couldn’t help but express his admiration for Pei Xuanjing’s grand plan. If accomplished, Pei Xuanjing will win the support of martial artists all over the world and become a living saint, earning countless people’s respect and admiration.
Pei Xuanjing did not hide his thoughts, saying, “Just as I said before, individual plans fall short. Only by gathering the wisdom of all beings, maybe we can explore the Path of Longevity.”
