Chapter 1738 - 1735: Dao Heart’s Growth

Chapter 1738: Chapter 1735: Dao Heart’s Growth

After many years of cultivation, Yang Fei understood the importance of assessing the situation, but still held onto his own steadfastness, never abandoning his unique pride.

Even back when the Southern Domain Cultivation World first invaded and he was the only one at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he bravely stood on the front lines, shielding Earth from slaughter and enslavement.

Through the years, no matter how difficult things were, he persisted, considering himself Earth’s savior, without complaint or regret.

In truth, with his talent and conditions, if he didn’t care about Earth and ventured out alone, he believed he could thrive in various Immortal Domains and enjoy a carefree life.

Yet, he could never forget that he was an Earth person, unable to watch Earth invaded and plundered by foreign forces, and refuse to see Earth’s creatures reduced to the lowest race.

Over the years, he single-handedly upheld the dignity and pride of Earth’s humanity.

So faced with Wangxian Sect’s aggressive and domineering actions, he was extremely angry, thinking that no matter the cost, he should unite other forces to exclude Wangxian Sect.

But now, everyone around him advised him to remain calm, prioritizing stability, enduring the frustration to gain a bit more time for steady development.

"Is this what you all think?" Yang Fei looked at the crowd and asked.

Most nodded directly in response, but some, with keen insight, sensed Yang Fei’s inner defiance.

Tong Yunshu and Qin Yanyang’s hearts trembled; having spent countless days and nights with Yang Fei, and being in tune during dual cultivation, how could they not understand Yang Fei?

The two walked over, grabbing Yang Fei’s hands one from each side.

Tong Yunshu softly said, "Yang Fei, both Yanyang and I know you have a pent-up frustration with nowhere to vent it, not wanting Wangxian Sect’s people to benefit in the slightest. I know even more that your arduous path was not only to protect Earth’s stability but also to preserve our Earth’s human spirit of stubborn defiance. You persist and resist, declaring to the cultivation world that although Earth has just experienced spiritual energy revival and is weak in overall strength, Earth’s people are unafraid to die, ready to fight and persevere with the courage to break rather than bend."

Qin Yanyang just looked at him, eyes filled with determination and encouragement, as if saying no matter the decision you make, I will stand by your side, regretless in death.

Yang Fei initially felt a bit embarrassed being held by the two in front of everyone, but he tightly clasped their warm, soft hands.

They still understand me.

Tong Yunshu’s words made all the elite Earth people present feel ashamed.

How could they not know that Yang Fei has been protecting everyone and Earth all these years?

Yet few would think that Yang Fei fought so hard and fiercely to establish Earth’s human unyielding spirit.

Wangxian Sect’s aggressive and domineering stance toward Earth is evident; their instinct is to avoid harm and seek benefit, enduring frustration, while Yang Fei, despite his close relationship with Shen Wanjing and being Wan Daorong’s direct disciple, chooses to oppose Wangxian Sect.

Is he merely defending his own face?

No, he’s trying to tell Earth’s major forces that Earth is not a pushover.

"Yang Fei, I... we feel so ashamed. We’ve lived protected by you, and now faced with challenges, only think of surviving comfortably. These years, under your protection, Earth has worn away its edges, losing the heart to strive." Wang Chunfeng stood up first, shamefully speaking.

Others also spoke up, promising that whatever Yang Fei decides, they will follow without hesitation, not holding him back.

The tenacity, the resistance against injustice and oppression innate to Earth’s humanity, awakened once again.

The dissatisfaction in Yang Fei’s heart dissipated.

He shook his head with a smile and said, "Thank you all. We’ve been friends for years; even if not friends, we’re allies. It’s not been easy coming this far since the great changes began, and Wangxian Sect is powerful, while Earth is weak; confronting them would indeed be like hitting an egg against a rock, so I understand your concerns."

After a pause, not waiting for anyone to speak, he continued, "Actually, you’re right too; revenge is never too late for a gentleman. As cultivators, we have all the time to wait for an opportunity for revenge; dealing with a huge Wangxian Sect requires joint efforts from other forces.

And the Southern Domain just went through turmoil, Shang Qing Sect needs time for recovery, and Shifang City and the Yan Family cannot afford to go all out against Wangxian Sect, so without absolute assurance, the current balance in the Southern Domain cannot be broken. What I said before were just words of loyalty, and with Yun Shu’s guidance, I’ve thought it through. Compared to Wangxian Sect, we Earth cultivators are younger, have more potential and a future, so let’s endure for now, and we’ll surely find an opportunity to completely destroy Wangxian Sect."

Huang Chengcheng praised, "Well said; that’s the most prudent approach. Yang Fei, although you are my disciple, you’ve progressed far beyond, and as per cultivation world’s rules, we’re now peers. I should refrain from preaching, but now that it’s come to this, I must say, would you like to hear it?"

Yang Fei hurriedly said, "A day as a teacher is a lifetime as a father; without Master’s training back then, I wouldn’t know where I’d be now. Whatever Master has to teach, I’m all ears."

Huang Chengcheng looked at Yang Fei solemnly and said, "Fei’er, if you were alone, you could’ve already lived freely and prosperously in the Southern Domain Cultivation World with those you love. As Wan Daorong’s closed-door disciple, backed by Shang Qing Sect, and due to Genetic Liquid Medicine, you could cultivate good relations with bigwigs from all sides, with limitless prospects. But since you still care about Earth’s huge mess, you can’t impulsively act solely from your own standpoint; you must be responsible for those on Earth needing your protection. Earth has just experienced spiritual energy revival; it needs time for development, a stable cultivation environment. If Earth is plunged into endless conflict and slaughter, it will be hard for it to develop quickly."

Yang Fei nodded solemnly, "Thank you for the guidance, Master; I’ll remember."

Huang Chengcheng said with relief, "You have great fortune, and whatever you do, Master sincerely supports you. So sometimes, don’t overthink; just follow your heart and go for it. You’ve already lived up to everyone—no need for psychological burdens or mental shackles."

Yang Fei felt his soul and Dao Heart were incredibly clear and pleasant at that moment; all these years he’d carried too many concerns, compelling himself to bear the fate of Earth’s humanity, Alexander.

Now, after this conversation, he felt as if he let go of many things, his Dao Heart much clearer than before.

Though he still cared deeply about Earth, he seemed ready to let go at any moment...
