Chapter 167: Fuck Your Mua's Overall Situation
"Who could be responsible for these evil deeds?"
After calming down his anger a bit, Chu Shen wanted an exact name or a list.
"Zang Long, Xiao Lei, E Bi, Chang Bingrong, Zang Si, Lin Ruowei..."
The more he listened, the more astonished Chu Shen became.
They were all important figures, although most of them had already passed away.
"Wait, these seem to be..."
"Ah, yes, they are indeed. They belong to the aristocratic faction," Yan Shu did not deny.
Chu Shen looked at her intently, "Are there no members from other factions being concealed?"
The orthodox, aristocratic, and prodigy factions were three opposing camps in Langxuan Tian Gong, representing three different value orientations.
The orthodox faction insisted on the spiritual ideology that had been passed down since ancient times in Langxuan Tian Gong. They believed that cultivators should not interfere with the secular world and should seek enlightenment on their own. They also believed that Langxuan Tian Gong was the ancient heavenly library, and many ancient knowledge should be promoted in the modern era.
The aristocratic faction was more selfish, believing that after more than 18 generations of inheritance, Langxuan Tian Gong had formed a relatively stable core population and should tilt its interests more towards the large families that shared weal and woe with the heavenly officials.
The prodigy faction consisted mostly of scholars recruited from outside Langxuan Tian Gong. They were somewhat opposed to the aristocratic faction and were being wooed by the orthodox faction. However, from time to time, some of them would be bought by the aristocratic faction.
The relationship between the three factions reflected the internal contradictions within Langxuan Tian Gong.
Chu Shen saw that Yan Shu only provided a list from the aristocratic faction, so naturally, he had to suspect whether it was a targeted disclosure.
Yan Shu shook her head, "No, our Holy Lord's faction welcomes geniuses with open arms. How could they stifle them? Many prodigies with scholarly backgrounds may be powerful, but they don't have the influence to organize such actions."
Only those aristocratic families have the ability and motivation to do such things.
Chu Shen didn't believe her words, "Is there any evidence?"
"Some have concrete evidence, but the people involved are already gone. Some don't have evidence, but the same opportunities that disappeared in the hands of certain disciples years ago have now fallen into the hands of certain individuals. I don't think I need to say more, right?"
Chu Shen's expression was complicated, "I didn't expect the Langhuan Heavenly Palace to have such darkness."
Yan Shu remained calm, "There has never been a spotless pure land in this world."
"Can't the Heavenly Palace eliminate these cancerous aristocratic families?"
"In the long process of development, these forces have already become too big to be eradicated. They have formed a symbiotic relationship with the Heavenly Palace. If we really decide to clean them up, we will face either division or civil war, which could even lead to the complete destruction of the Heavenly Palace. We can only proceed cautiously."
This is also why we know that many cases are caused by these aristocratic families, but we cannot take the opportunity to completely eliminate them. We can only find a way to cut off a part of the cancerous growth from them to delay the outbreak of bigger problems."
Chu Shen actually understood this principle. Just like any organization that reaches a certain scale and is occupied by a large number of interest groups, the Langhuan Heavenly Palace, as a sect of this size, also has similar "ailments."
It's just that he didn't expect that the cultivation world would be no exception. It's really...
"Cultivators are also human beings. They are just different from ordinary people in that they pursue immortality and enlightenment instead of fame and fortune. And in the process of cultivation, a cultivator supported by a powerful family will obviously have a broader future than those independent cultivators who rely on themselves for everything. Naturally, some people will fall into the same patterns as the mundane aristocratic families."
It seemed that Chu Shen understood his thoughts, or perhaps Yan Shu herself had been puzzled before, and she gave him an explanation.
After pondering for a while, Chu Shen could only agree with Yan Shu's words.
Because he is now doing the same thing, he wants to leave enough abundant resources for his descendants, making the future path easier to walk.
However, he has a system. As long as he brushes the system rewards, he can obtain enough accumulation. The original accumulation is filled with backaches and pains, but it is not so cruel.
And those prestigious families do not have a system. The way they accumulate resources is destined to be bloody, cruel, shameless, and despicable because they exploit and enslave others, even causing the death of others. The group will obtain a large amount of resources that do not belong to them.
Just like this time, the other party targeted him. If it weren't for luck, perhaps he would have regrets for the rest of his life.
Thinking about this, he became angry again.
The orthodox faction of the Langhuan Heavenly Palace, in order to maintain stability and basic order, can only slowly collect evidence and force the prestigious families to make sacrifices.
But he is a member of the orthodox faction in name only. In reality, he is only loyal to himself. How could he let go of those beasts who harmed him and even his family and descendants?
Yan Shu clearly noticed his anger and comforted him, saying, "Junior Brother, I know you're angry, but the overall situation is important!"
The overall situation? It's the overall situation again? Why does everyone always talk about the overall situation but never value the interests of the poor victims?
Just because they are prestigious families, does that mean they can harm others without punishment?
Just because they are powerless individuals, does that mean they deserve to be sacrificed for the stability of the overall situation?
Spit!
There is no reason for this!
The true big picture has long been answered by an extraordinary figure who will be remembered throughout history. The people are the big picture, and the countless "sacrifices" that appear weak and insignificant are the big picture!
If there are mistakes, there should be punishment; if there are merits, there should be rewards. This is the real big picture!
All other disregard for right and wrong, twisted so-called big pictures, are nothing more than personal calculations hiding behind the name of the big picture!
He made up his mind. The power of the system is only important at this moment, isn't it?
With this decision, he suddenly felt a sense of clarity in body and mind. There was also a strange force from the outside world, flowing into his body like a rushing river, dripping into his Foundation Building star chart.
Not only spiritual power, but also a kind of wonderful, gentle and mysterious force!
To his surprise, the Foundation Building star chart was once again illuminated, and more stars appeared in the star chart. The inner vision of his sea of consciousness had a sense of the universe, and the formation of this "universe" was accelerating!
Beside him, Yan Shu stared at him, her expression changing from anger to calm, and then to joy. At the same time, she sensed his breakthrough in cultivation realm.
It wasn't just a breakthrough in a small realm, but a consecutive breakthrough in several small realms.
Foundation Building third level, Foundation Building fourth level, Foundation Building fifth level...
Has this junior brother's cultivation realm improved so wildly?
She had never seen a cultivator upgrade and breakthrough like this before, but today she witnessed it!
No wonder those people from prestigious families took great risks once again. Even she couldn't help but be curious about what kind of opportunity Chu Shen had obtained.
This curiosity, as Chu Shen gradually emitted a layer of golden light, turned into shock...
