"Well said!"
Moon Palace.
Li Changxi looked at her junior disciple brother, growing more and more pleased with him.
"Although I don't mind the opinions of these mediocre people, I am still comforted to see my disciple brother standing up for me. However, as Dominators of the Immortal Realm, we must not let our thoughts be consumed by disputes with these mortals. Remember, do not do this in the future," Li Changxi advised.
By this time, Ji Changsheng had already left the Lecture Hall and returned to the Moon Palace. Before he could report his accomplishments, he saw Li Changxi.
Hearing Li Changxi's words, Ji Changsheng solemnly replied, "Senior sister, you are a great power that ascended in the Ancient Times, naturally not bothered by the views of these mortals. I, having cultivated for a shorter period, have not yet reached the state where I rejoice neither in material gain nor grieve over personal loss. If someone disrespects you, I will always stand up for you. They can humiliate me, but humiliating you, absolutely not!"
"Oh my, there's no need, really no need."
Li Changxi repeatedly waved her hands.
Ji Changsheng, however, remained unmoved and determined.
Experienced men know to selectively listen when a woman says no.
If you persist, then it is truly the end.
Ji Changsheng was shrewd.
"Alright, have it your way."
Li Changxi, appearing to realize she couldn't dissuade her junior brother, quickly gave up trying to convince him.
"So, senior sister, it seems you have accepted my way of cultivation?"
"Of course."
Ji Changsheng was highly supportive.
It was not just because of Li Changxi's status and background.
He genuinely believed that it was impressive for Li Changxi to achieve so much at her age.
"Putting aside senior sister's distinguished ancestry and whether one's foundation is solid, let's discuss only the way of cultivation. I do not believe that one has to be perfect in every stage. Rapid progress may cause an unstable foundation, but as long as my advancement is quick enough, none of it will be a problem. My Core Formation stage opponents, whom I couldn't defeat back then, can be eliminated in a flash once I reach the Nascent Soul stage. By the time they reach the Nascent Soul stage to seek their revenge, I might have already undergone the Divinity Transformation."
"I believe that with your method of cultivation, senior sister, the issue is not about a shaky foundation, but rather that many are unable to ascend rapidly. In theory, as long as you can continuously advance at a quick pace, you will always remain invincible."
"Well said!"
Li Changxi, slapping her own thigh, felt an urge to immediately cultivate together with Ji Changsheng.
It was as if this man had purposely tailor-made his words for her, striking a chord in her heart and leaving her delighted.
"In all the laws of immortality, only speed is invincible. As long as my cultivation is fast enough, instability of the foundation and being the weakest of the same stage will be irrelevant. Those who accuse merit-oriented cultivation as weak are nothing but losers who cannot guarantee a swift advancement. My eight disciples failed to understand my painstaking efforts. Only you, Fellow King, are worthy of discussing Daoism with me and understanding my true ambitions and talent. Please, Fellow King, have a seat."
Ji Changsheng took his seat composedly.
Although Li Changxi might be insane, he genuinely believed that her logic was flawed only in minor ways.
The only tiny issue that exists is that merit is hard to obtain.
However, Ji Changsheng had previously discovered that he could farm merits in the Illusory Realm.
Li Changxi, with the power she possessed at such a young age, definitely had a way.
He humbly sought her advice.
Li Changxi did not hold back.
"Our rapid progression in the Illusory Light lineage relies on one key element - merit! Merit! And again, merit! However, unlike Elder Chuanjing, I believe accumulating merit is easy."
"Please enlighten me, senior sister."
Li Changxi changed her demeanor from a free-spirited lunatic to a solemn, apprehensive character, "Fellow King, you may not understand that there are many injustices in the world, countless opportunities to gather merits waiting for us to seize. If you venture into the mortal world and stand up for injustices, you will return brimming with merits. Unfortunately, only I can do it. Others prefer to deceive themselves and others, closing their eyes to the deception and bask in the faux peace, rather than doing good and earning the merits that go unclaimed."
Ji Changsheng blinked.
He began to understand.
There are too many untouchable 'tigers' in the world.
Others dare not confront them.
But Li Changxi, being the number one individual in the world and somewhat of a lunatic, naturally thought everyone else was garbage.
So, Li Changxi boldly confronted them.
And then, she survived thanks to the Fairy Linglong.
Some others may also be brave, but they lack a world's number one character on their side and a crazily unconventional mind.
The truth must be roughly as such.
After unraveling this, Ji Changsheng felt no disappointment because he believed he could walk this path just like Li Changxi.
After all, even though the world's number one individual isn't his mother, she could potentially be his mother-in-law.
"Senior sister, in actual fact, I understand," Ji Changsheng stated earnestly.
Li Changxi shook her head, "You've just awakened your True Spirit and still know little about this world. There are many things you're not aware of."
Heaving, Ji Changsheng also began to adopt a worried visage, "After all, I am South Pole's Great Emperor Changsheng. Having witnessed the rises and falls of countless dynasties in the Immortal Realm, I naturally understand senior sister's sentiments. The common people suffer in both times of prosperity and decline."
Li Changxi looked at Ji Changsheng and then slowly nodded.
"You are indeed worthy of your title, Fellow King. Under the heavens, only you and I stand on the same stage."
"Senior sister, you flatter me."
Li Changxi spoke, "No false compliments here. Some things can only be discussed with you to achieve satisfactory results. My previous eight disciples could not comprehend the realities of the mundane world. Only you understand I, as I understand you. Fellow King, I am fortunate to have you."
