Chapter 1451 - 792 Situation (Thanks to Boss Pharcyde for rewarding the Alliance Hierarch~)_2

"Therefore, such matters are the ’family scandal’ of the entire Qian Learning State Boundary. Since it’s a family scandal, it shouldn’t be exposed."

Elder Master Xun nodded.

"And suppose I were among the upper echelons of the Taoist Court..." Mo Hua continued, "Regarding the matter of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, if I were unaware, it would be fine. But once I know..."

Mo Hua raised an eyebrow, his tone turning harsh, "Then I will definitely ’handle it’ severely!"

"Using the Taoist Law as a ’pretext’, take this matter as a ’leverage’, and ’extort’ the relevant Sects of the Qian Learning State Boundary to squeeze out a lot of benefits, then find an excuse to pretend to be magnanimous and let it pass lightly."

"Handling such matters impartially is very difficult and would offend various Sects."

"Why not do it this way, gaining face and benefits."

"And for a Sect like the Sever Gold Sect, if they know there is no room for maneuver, they will naturally adopt a ’desperate’ mindset."

"But if the Taoist Court displays a greedy face, only demanding ’benefits’, they will hold onto a fluke mindset, painfully ’ceding land and compensating’, rather than resisting too much..."

Mo Hua spoke with clarity and logic.

Elder Master Xun looked at Mo Hua, his gaze becoming somewhat complicated.

Mo Hua noticed Elder Master Xun’s gaze, slightly startled, somewhat unsure, and softly asked:

"Gentleman, am I wrong?"

Elder Master Xun sighed, "Right."

It’s more or less like that.

An adequate ’Ancestor’ would indeed consider matters in such a way.

Elder Master Xun asked again, "Then from your own perspective, what were you thinking before?"

Mo Hua was startled, then somewhat embarrassedly said:

"As a disciple, I thought simply... just to make a big fuss, let the Sever Gold Sect suffer greatly!"

Elder Master Xun asked, "Why do that?"

Mo Hua thought for a while, frowning, "Because the Sever Gold Sect doesn’t distinguish right from wrong, acting against the Taoist principles..."

Elder Master Xun nodded, "Then your thinking isn’t bad either."

Mo Hua was somewhat surprised, "That’s not bad?"

Elder Master Xun said seriously, "A Sect that doesn’t distinguish right from wrong and violates Taoist principles, what’s the use of keeping it?"

Mo Hua’s expression became solemn.

Elder Master Xun said, "Since you are neither an Ancestor of the Qian Learning State Boundary nor among the upper echelons of the Taoist Court, why bother considering their interest issues?"

"You have your ideas, and if those ideas aren’t wrong, then naturally you should act upon them."

Mo Hua was momentarily confused, "Then..."

Elder Master Xun said, "I asked you to consider yourself an ’Ancestor’, to put yourself in that position, so you would know that you shouldn’t only consider matters from your own perspective."

"You can’t just base things on ’you think’, otherwise your thinking becomes limited, and your vision will be narrow, eventually becoming someone else’s ’pawn’."

"Understanding others is wisdom. The more you know about others, the stronger your control over the situation."

"But you don’t have to deny your thoughts."

"If your thoughts align with ’Taoist principles’, then you are right, and the others are wrong."

"However, your strength is too weak, and the Ancestors who speak of interest and reality are too strong, so things won’t develop according to your thoughts, but according to those Ancestors’ plans."

"This you must understand."

"Sometimes, it’s not that you’re wrong, but that you’re too ’weak’."

"If one day you advance to Heaven Void, or even surpass that to possess supreme power, many things in the world will naturally develop according to your wishes..."

"But now you’re not strong, the progress of matters is dictated by others, so when encountering matters, you need to think more about how others think, this way you’ll know how things will actually develop, and you can know what you should do."

Elder Master Xun gave Mo Hua one last meaningful look.

"You need to learn to view from an ’Ancestor’s’ perspective, standing above, and looking down."

"But I am not hoping for you to only become such a condescending ’Ancestor’ in the future..."

Mo Hua’s eyes flickered, slowly nodding.

"Alright," Elder Master Xun’s tone relaxed a bit, sighed, "Getting older, sometimes I ramble on a bit."

Mo Hua, however, solemnly said:

"Thank you for the instruction, Gentleman."

Elder Master Xun’s eyebrows moved slightly, his gaze gentle.

"By the way, Gentleman," Mo Hua suddenly blinked, "Regarding the Sever Gold Sect, hasn’t our Taixu Gate ’squeezed’ any benefits?"

Elder Master Xun was startled, then a faint smile appeared, "I am also an ’Ancestor’, this benefit, if others squeeze it, how could I let it pass?"

After Elder Master Xun finished, he glanced at Mo Hua, calmly said:

"From now on, those things you have from the Sever Gold Sect, be it Sword Jue or Sword Array, you can use them."

Mo Hua was slightly stunned, only then realizing that Elder Master Xun possibly knew everything.

But it seemed normal, too.

Elder Xun Ziyou was watching him, so these techniques he often used, he couldn’t be unaware of them.

Since he knew, naturally, Elder Master Xun would know as well.

Mo Hua was still somewhat uneasy:

"Can I really use them... the Sever Gold Sect is quite stingy..."

"Just use them without worry," Elder Master Xun said, "Between the Sever Gold Sect and our Taixu Gate, adhering to the principle of ’abandon sect biases, exchange Daoist cultivation methods’, we exchanged some inheritances."

"Their Sect Protecting Faction’s inheritance included some beginner-level Second Grade Sword techniques and Sword Arrays, all of which have been included in our Taixu Gate’s Book Pavilion."

"Exchange of inheritance?"

Mo Hua was somewhat dumbfounded, then asked again, "What inheritance did our Taixu Gate give to the Sever Gold Sect?"

Elder Master Xun disdained, "A pile of common rubbish Spells, who would even remember those..."

Mo Hua froze for a moment.

Alright, so this is how they ’exchanged’ them.

"So... only beginner-level Sword techniques?"

Mo Hua asked quietly again.

He felt that in his hands, whether it was the Sever Gold Sword Jue or the Sever Gold Sword Formation, they didn’t seem like beginner-level inheritances of the Sever Gold Sect.
