Peerless Divine Emperor

Qin Xuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and Ji Lantian's words just now kept echoing in his mind.

Although he was not a kind-hearted man, he always believed that there was great love in the world, such as the Western Heaven God using Buddhism to save the suffering people in the world, and the seven sons of the Xia King Realm preaching the world, what a noble character.

Are these things they did utilitarian?

In the past, he did not think that these things were utilitarian, but if you consider it from another angle, it seems that they are indeed utilitarian.

The Western Heaven God saved all living beings in order to improve his own Buddhism and reach the realm of God as soon as possible, and the seven sons of the Xia King Realm preached the world in the hope that the people who practiced in the Boundless Sea would become stronger, and have enough strength to resist foreign enemies in the future and protect the peace of the Boundless Sea.

Thinking of this, Qin Xuan frowned, and felt an unprecedented contradiction in his heart. Who was wrong?

Ji Lantian glanced at Qin Xuan, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "I am sorry for inviting you here. Please don't blame me."

"It's okay." Qin Xuan waved his hand and didn't think about the right and wrong. After all, everything in the world has both positive and negative sides. If you go deeper, you may not get any results. It's better to treat it with a normal mind.

"Formally introduce, I am Ji Lantian, the young city lord of Qianhe City." Ji Lantian said with a smile, his tone was very relaxed and natural, as if chatting between friends, which invisibly brought others closer to him.

"Qin Xuan." Qin Xuan also gave his name out of politeness.

"May I ask where Brother Qin is from?" Ji Lantian asked, obviously very curious about Qin Xuan's origin.

"Qin is from a very far place, Brother Ji should not have heard of it." Qin Xuan replied. His words were not deceiving. Zhongxingtian was indeed very far away from here.

Ji Lantian's eyes condensed slightly, knowing that Qin Xuan was unwilling to reveal his origins, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"I heard that the Earth Roof will be opened soon. Brother Ji, as the young city lord, should know a lot about the Earth Roof, right?" Qin Xuan suddenly changed the subject, intending to get some useful information from Ji Lantian.

Ji Lantian looked at Qin Xuan meaningfully, as if he had seen through a lot, and then replied: "I can't say I know a lot. After all, the Earth Roof is opened every few hundred years. The last time it was opened, I was not born yet and did not enter it."

Qin Xuan's eyes flashed. Ji Lantian was slightly older than him, so it was normal that he had never entered the Earth Roof. However, there must be some strong people in the City Lord's Mansion who had been there and knew what was inside.

"In ancient times, several powerful Tianzun and an evil demon king fought here. The battle lasted for more than ten days and nights, shaking the world. In the end, the Tianzun killed the evil demon."

"However, Wanhua Tianzun was seriously injured in that battle, and his life was hanging by a thread. He sacrificed his body to become the Tao, and thus the current earth's ridge was formed." Ji Lantian said slowly, his voice was a little low, and his eyes showed a bit of admiration.

"Sacrifice yourself to become the Tao."

Qin Xuan whispered in his heart, and then seemed to understand something. He looked at Ji Lantian in disbelief and asked: "You mean, the earth's ridge is the body of Wanhua Tianzun?"

"That's right." Ji Lantian nodded.

"This..." Qin Xuan's heart trembled violently. Doesn't this mean that Wanhua Tianzun destroyed his own body?

You should know how powerful the physical body of a Heavenly Venerable is. It will not corrode even after endless years. It can be said to be an immortal body. However, Wanhua Heavenly Venerable did not preserve his physical body, but chose another way, sacrificed himself to become a Taoist, and left the inheritance to future generations.

What a tragic act.

"You just said that several Heavenly Venerables fought against the evil demons, and Wanhua Heavenly Venerable fell. What about the other Heavenly Venerables?" Qin Xuan suddenly asked Ji Lantian.

"I don't know. There is only the inheritance of Wanhua Heavenly Venerable here. Maybe they survived." Ji Lantian replied.

"As far as I know, among the several Heavenly Venerables who participated in the battle, Wanhua Heavenly Venerable was the most powerful. It must be that he fought against the evil demons head-on, and the other Heavenly Venerables assisted him in the battle."

Qin Xuan's eyes showed a hint of thinking. Wanhua Heavenly Venerable fought against the evil demons head-on, so he was the most seriously injured. In this way, the other Heavenly Venerables may have survived.

From this point of view, the death of Wanhua Heavenly Venerable is a pity.

However, if he did not stand up, it would not only be him who would die, but all the people, and the price paid would be even more tragic.

Qin Xuan was suddenly stunned, and some thoughts flashed through his mind, and the doubts in his heart were solved at this moment.

Everything in the world has two sides, so the word utilitarianism naturally has two sides, and the key lies in how you look at it in your heart.

If utilitarianism is regarded as the idea of ​​pursuing one's own interests, then no matter what you do, it is utilitarian, which is what Ji Lantian thinks in his heart.

In Ji Lantian's eyes, kindness and kindness are the result of weighing the pros and cons, because the utilitarianism in his eyes is centered on himself, and things that are not beneficial to him are useless and can be discarded at any time.

But if it is for the welfare of the people, then there is no utilitarianism.

In the ancient war, powerful beings such as Devouring Heavenly Venerable and Samsara Heavenly Venerable fell. With their strength, they could have survived the ancient war, but they were willing to sacrifice themselves to protect the people of Jiuxuan Star Domain.

The same is true for Wanhua Tianzun. In order to leave a legacy for future generations, he was willing to sacrifice his life to become a Taoist.

From this, it can be seen that Ji Lantian's thinking is too narrow. He only cares about his own interests. The interests of others have nothing to do with him.

However, Qin Xuan can understand Ji Lantian's thoughts.

After all, not everyone has such a broad mind as Wanhua Tianzun. Most people are realistic. Even if he himself has not done it, how can he ask others to do it.

Although Qin Xuan thought a lot in his mind, all these facts only happened in a very short time. Qin Xuan looked at Ji Lantian again and asked, "Do you know when the Earth Ridge will be opened?"

"I don't know, but it should be soon." Ji Lantian replied: "There should be many Tianjiao figures coming next, and Qianhe City will be much more lively than usual."

Qin Xuan nodded slightly without saying anything more.

"Why don't you stay here temporarily, Brother Qin, and then we will go to the Earth Ridge together, and we can take care of each other." Ji Lantian said with a smile, as if to show goodwill to Qin Xuan.

"No need, I'm used to being alone." Qin Xuan politely refused. He and Ji Lantian had different personalities and were destined not to be true friends. Moreover, this person was very cunning and far from being as simple as he seemed on the surface. It was better to have less contact.

Seeing that Qin Xuan was determined to leave, Ji Lantian did not try to keep him. He said with a smile: "In that case, I will order someone to send Brother Qin out of the mansion."

"Thank you." Qin Xuan thanked him.

Ji Lantian's mind moved, and soon a figure came here, specially to send Qin Xuan out of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Goodbye." Qin Xuan said to Ji Lantian, and then left with that person.

Looking at Qin Xuan's leaving back, Ji Lantian's eyes revealed a hint of unfathomable meaning. Although this person's cultivation was only a fifth-level saint, he gave him a sense of threat. It seemed that he was not simple!
