Yang Fei looked at the questioner and smiled, "May I ask how to address you, senior?"
The person was not afraid and said loudly, "Qinghe Cui Family, Cui Wanchi."
During the time Yang Fei was detained by Helian Rong in the Hidden Sect, he chatted with Helian Rong about some things related to the Hidden Sect. He really heard Helian Rong mention this Qinghe Cui Family, so he said, "The Qinghe Cui Family affiliated with the Duanmu Family?"
Cui Wanchi said, "That’s right. My family and the Duanmu Family are considered long-term acquaintances."
Yang Fei saw there were three others with him, seemingly together, and asked, "Are these people beside Senior all from the Qinghe Cui Family?"
Cui Wanchi nodded and said, "That’s right, all four of us brothers are from the Qinghe Cui Family."
Yang Fei couldn’t help but praise, "Four outstanding brothers, truly remarkable."
However, the four of them showed no sign of pride; on the contrary, their expressions were gloomy.
One of the people beside him said, "We brothers are incompetent, so in our generation, no one from the Cui Family has reached the Divine Travel Realm, and the Qinghe Cui Family has declined with us."
Yang Fei chuckled, saying, "Senior, don’t underestimate yourselves. You four have reached the Late-stage Innate Realm Peak, only a step away from the Divine Travel Realm, which is already quite impressive."
Yet, Cui Wanchi and the others maintained a gloomy expression. Discover more novels at NoveI★Fire.net
Clearly, in the Hidden Sect World, although the Divine Travel Realm is hard to reach, the Eight Great Forces always have several sitting in the Divine Travel Realm. Even some second and third-tier aristocratic families and sects occasionally produce exceptional talents who step into the Divine Travel Realm. For the once-prosperous Qinghe Cui Family, the fact that none in their generation stepped into the Divine Travel Realm signaled their decline, causing them to feel shame, thinking they wouldn’t face their ancestors in the afterlife.
"Kid, you haven’t answered Cui Wanchi’s question yet."
"That’s right, stop rambling on things that don’t matter. Tell us, does the promise you made count; can you truly fulfill it?"
More outspoken individuals urged him.
Yang Fei swept his gaze across the crowd, seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, clearly taking his promise seriously. He nodded immediately, saying, "I, Yang Fei, mean what I say. Since I have made a promise, I will fulfill it, never breaking my word."
The crowd’s eyes brightened upon hearing him say this personally, believing him somewhat more.
Someone said, "Are you truly this generous?"
Yang Fei laughed heartily, "Do you not understand my character, Yang Fei? In the eyes of the Eight Great Forces, advanced cultivation techniques and martial arts secret manuals are treasures; they keep them to themselves, leading the Hidden Sect’s cultivation into decline. Even in the past, the Taoist sect made the same mistake, reluctant to share advanced cultivation techniques. But I’m different. I believe to promote martial arts and let the Divine Continent’s cultivation world return to its former glory, collaboration and resource sharing are necessary. Only in doing so can more outstanding talents be cultivated. These talents can then deduce more advanced cultivation techniques, making the cultivation world increasingly prosperous."
His words caused a considerable stir in the hearts of the thirty-three present.
As people of the Hidden Sect, their own families and sects were actually beneficiaries too, treating their own advanced techniques as treasures, never sharing them.
Moreover, they understood that once resources are shared, their competitors would grow, and the resources they, their families, or sects obtained, would consequently diminish.
So, although they understood Yang Fei’s reasoning, it wasn’t the willingness to act on it.
People are inevitably selfish.
Yang Fei’s words pitched them into shock, yet they secretly shook their heads, feeling this young man overestimates human nature.
But no one doubted Yang Fei because they knew he had already made the Taoist cultivation technique public.
Regardless of whether he did so to preserve his life, he indeed did it.
After a brief silence, one person spoke, "Your idea is too naive, too idealistic and simplistic. If all cultivation techniques were made public, wouldn’t outsiders also learn them?"
"That’s right, Heaven and Penglai Realm have their own cultivation secrets. If they learn our methods while we don’t understand their secret techniques, wouldn’t we be manipulated?"
Yang Fei scoffed disdainfully, shaking his head, "Seniors, please think carefully. With the same cultivation technique, why does each individual’s progress differ, and the ultimate limit reached vary significantly?"
"Nonsense, everyone has different talent and aptitude, so naturally, the results differ."
Yang Fei smiled, "Correct, and that’s why I dare make the Taoist cultivation technique public without fear. Because I, Yang Fei, am confident enough to believe even if others cultivate the same technique, they cannot surpass me. Hahaha, the prosperity of the cultivation world relies not on techniques, but on people; people are the true foundation."
Cui Wanchi and others’ expressions changed, experiencing a subtle shift in thinking for the first time.
Yang Fei proclaimed loudly, "Getting back to the topic at hand, what I want is for the Divine Continent’s cultivation world to reach unprecedented prosperity; when the number of strong cultivators multiplies, a mere Heaven and Penglai Realm would pose no threat. In my and my wife’s view, personal gain means little; what matters is whether our China can be powerful, whether the Yanhuang Nation can sweep the world as in the Han and Tang Dynasties. These are paramount. Though you live in the Hidden Sect, you are all part of the Yanhuang Clan. Do you not wish to struggle for the revival of the Yanhuang Clan? Therefore, in my eyes, helping you enhance your power is not much, because when you become strong, it signifies the strength of our Divine Continent. As long as it’s beneficial to the Divine Continent, to the Yanhuang Clan, I, Yang Fei, can do anything."
"Hmph, they’re just nice theories. Do you aspire to be a sage, boy?" Someone snorted.
Yang Fei laughed loudly, "I don’t aspire to be a sage. Truth be told, I’m entirely moved by my wife; you know what she’s like."
The crowd nodded. Although after the Hidden Sect came out, their status had lowered extensively, it was all thanks to Qin Yanyang, yet they respected Qin Yanyang deeply from their hearts.
She was genuinely a remarkable woman.
Yang Fei continued, "You don’t like hearing grand theories; let me speak some reality. Actually, I, Yang Fei, have ambitions. I want to lead everyone out of the Divine Continent, to conquer the globe; in this new era, new epoch, let’s create a great era together, leading the future of Earth’s humanity.
Everyone, are you willing to stand alongside me, Yang Fei, seeking a new opportunity for yourselves and your clansmen and sects behind, and have your names recorded in the history books of this new era’s future?"
