PDLP Chapter 8: Wei Zhixi
Chapter 8: Wei Zhixi
As mentioned earlier.
In this game, there are slots available for advanced job advancements, which are essentially the strongest in various cultivation methods.
Many ancient cultivation methods that have been passed down in the world are also examples.
The reason why the killing intent is foreshadowed is that when multiple people practice the same technique, the progress of cultivation will be slower!
The more people there are, the slower the cultivation process!
This situation improved considerably after the two wars against the heavens.
But the underlying logic remains unchanged.
Therefore, the more rewarding the tasks that pop up in this game, the bigger the trap is!
Not to mention the multi-stage quests that accompany the cultivation of this fairy...
Qi Yuncheng is far more than just an older brother who sends his younger sister back to school.
And now, the Great Wei...
In the early stages of the game, the situation in Dongsheng Shenzhou revolved around the Great Wei, characterized by "no major chaos, but constant minor chaos."
The reason why no major wars occurred, or rather, no high-level cultivators participated, was not only due to the strength of the Great Wei itself, but also largely due to the Confucian Temple in Haozhou, the Central Plains.
In ancient times, after the first war against the heavens, human traditions flourished, and an unprecedented golden age emerged.
Among them, the contention of a hundred schools of thought is the most vivid and colorful.
Later, for various reasons, Confucianism eventually stood out.
In a world rife with barbaric slaughter, Confucianism established a series of rules for humanity.
One of the most important rules is that, in order to prevent high-level cultivators from arbitrarily slaughtering low-level cultivators, Confucian sages used their great supernatural powers to create a boundary wall separating the five continents, while also restricting the movements of cultivators with combat power of the thirteenth realm and above.
This is the root of the rise of the Great Wei, and also the reason why the Great Wei now faces enemies everywhere in the Eastern Continent.
As for the minor disturbances, it was due to the "universal cultivation" system of the Great Wei Dao Academy.
After all, the cultivation techniques taught by the Great Wei Dao Academy were basically plundered from the local sects and independent cultivators of the Eastern Divine Continent.
The underlying logic of this game is "cannibalism".
The sects in the Eastern Continent will definitely not be happy with what the Great Wei Dao Academy is doing.
However, there were too many small-scale conflicts in the early stages of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and even Wei Wuxian couldn't remember them all.
So, something might happen in Phoenix City soon? And it might be aimed at the Great Wei?
Having reached this conclusion, Wei Wuxian felt somewhat conflicted.
How should I put it? In my past life, I was playing a game, and I was destined to be an emperor...
Emperors are capricious; they can nurture a woman, or use a fairy as a stepping stone, only to stab her in the back at the last moment!
Everything is capricious and unpredictable.
Now that they are all living, breathing people in front of him, he is naturally conflicted.
Now that his main body is hiding in Guang'an City, his clone's top priority is to find a way to improve his main body's martial arts strength and restore his cultivation aptitude.
Unnecessary complications are unacceptable.
However, the one guarding the old Imperial Preceptor's Mansion in Phoenix City is his original sister, Wei Zhixi.
The Wei family of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion has a total of four siblings.
The eldest sister is Wei Zhixi, the second brother Wei Wuyang has passed away, Wei Wuxian is the third brother, and the youngest fourth brother Wei Wugou was sent out of Dongsheng Shenzhou after the assassination attempt. Wei Wuxian's whereabouts are unknown.
Regardless of what he thinks in his heart, he is now the third young master of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
Ignoring the pop-up taskbar for the time being, Wei Wuxian, with the idea of taking it one step at a time, soon arrived at the old Imperial Preceptor's residence.
Without waiting for an announcement, Wei Wuxian was ushered inside.
After passing through the ceremonial gate, Wei Wuxian arrived at the main hall of the front courtyard. Before he even entered, he saw a woman sitting in the main seat.
He appeared to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, dressed in a neat, close-fitting black outfit. His brows were stern, his face was plain and unadorned, and his expression was indifferent and aloof.
In Wei Wuxian's memory, his predecessor had been quite afraid of this older sister all these years because Wei Zhixi often treated him coldly, especially as the original owner became increasingly outrageous.
But now...
Just as Wei Wuxian stepped across the threshold, he saw Wei Zhixi stand up from his seat, and even managed to squeeze out a somewhat unnatural but genuine smile on his face.
"Greetings, Commander Wei."
Before Wei Wuxian could bend over completely, he was lifted up by a gentle force that seemed to come out of nowhere.
"You must be Li Jingming, the man my brother mentioned in his letter. No need for any fancy formalities, just relax."
Wei Wuxian was very puzzled.
Sister, you look more nervous than me...
"Yes, my name is Li Jingming. I have come here to ask Commander Wei for a favor."
"My brother said it all in his letter, don't worry."
Wei Zhixi's smile remained stiff.
After Wei Wuxian sat down, struggling to come up with a topic, Wei Zhixi seemed to feel awkward as well. He waved his hand dismissively, crossed his legs, and his expression finally became much more natural.
"You are the first friend my brother has mentioned to the family in all these years, not to mention that he asked Aunt Pei to write to me personally. Oh, Aunt Pei is an elder in my family."
"Over the years, I've only been able to go home once a year during the Lunar New Year, so I'm not exactly close to Wuxian."
"But I know that Wuxian's current state is not his fault."
"I never thought he was anything bad; he just occasionally indulged in drinking and womanizing. Compared to the real scoundrels I saw during my travels in the Eastern Continent who took pleasure in killing and wantonly humiliated women, his behavior was nothing at all."
"The real fault lies with our family... it was a family matter that implicated him... and Wu Yang."
Wei Zhixi was speechless for a moment, then said softly, "I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing. It's our first meeting, and I'm already rambling on about these things."
Wei Wuxian's expression had already turned serious, and upon hearing this, he quickly shook his head: "Sister Wei, you flatter me. As an older sister, you are so concerned about your younger brother. Your sincerity is truly admirable. How can you laugh at me?"
After saying this, Wei Wuxian's feelings were also complicated.
These are things that weren't mentioned in the original storyline, or rather, things he didn't pay much attention to.
It's no wonder the original owner eventually turned evil and became the big boss. This whole family died for this cause, and they didn't even leave behind a good reputation. If it were him, he would have turned evil and destroyed the world too.
Seeing Wei Zhixi's expression, Wei Wuxian forced himself to say, "Wuxian and I are close friends. He actually said that when Sister Wei disciplined him, it was for his own good."
"Bullshit, I'm being kind by not saying anything bad about me behind my back. I know him too well."
Wei Zhixi surprisingly showed a rare expression of reproach.
Wei Wuxian quickly lowered his head in embarrassment.
Wei Zhixi seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but chuckle softly, this time without the slightest hint of awkwardness.
"Although I don't know how Wuxian suddenly came to his senses, I suppose this matter will fall on you. I thank you on behalf of my family."
"Aren't you going to the Dark Prison? Come on, I'll take you there myself."
"As for the news about that little blessed land you mentioned, there's no need to bring it up again."
Wei Wuxian wanted to say something, but seeing Wei Zhixi's decisive back, he swallowed his words.
