Bab 607: The Heavenly Axiom is About a Means to an End

Xie Dong once again quietened the next wave of opposers, and then continued to speak.

What he said next, was exactly what everyone had guessed he would say.

"The Heavenly Axiom is no longer about justice. It plays favoritism with those that are beneficial to it. Everyone here is a cultivator seeking eternal life, I do not think that anyone here is hypocritical about this fact. We are modern people and do not need to pretend to be polite about it. Most cultivators are about trying to fulfill what past technologies were unable to do – achieving everlasting life. As for becoming stronger, I think that would be secondary. After all, no matter how powerful you become, if you can only live for a hundred years, it would be meaningless."

Of course, not everyone attending the meeting would agree to this point of view, if you could live like a cowardly turtle for thousands of years, you would still never measure up to a majestic eagle living for mere decades.
