I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 473

Chapter 473: Putting the People of the World First

. A deathly silence fell upon the vast stone platform.

Numerous powerful figures gazed at the three Saint Lords in disbelief.

They could not believe that these three, powerful beings who had ruled the world for millennia, revered and feared by countless, were being crushed back repeatedly by the sheer force of their auras, using only the overwhelming power of Meng Dian and his men from the Guiyuan Sect.   While Meng Dian and his men were Jindan True Immortals, the three Saint Lords had also survived the tribulation of thunder and entered the Jindan realm.   Meng Dian’s words, in particular, shocked everyone.   For a moment, everyone stared at the three Saint Lords, eager to see their explanation.   ”Brother, I’ve always said it, we can’t hide it from them. The Jindan realm’s spiritual acumen is incredibly sharp, as we all know.   Even a puppet Dharma body at the Perfect Foundation Establishment stage can’t completely conceal their perceptions.”   At this moment, the Third Saint Lord suddenly spoke.   ”Everything must be tested.”   The First Saint Lord shook his head.   He had originally intended to test it, but now it seemed that he couldn’t hide it from the Jindan realm’s spiritual perceptions.   The exchange immediately caused a stir.   The meaning of the two Saint Lords’ words was clear: they directly acknowledged Meng Dian’s words.   The three Saint Lords’ true bodies were indeed unable to leave the Holy Mountain. What appeared before them was a puppet Dharma body.   Even those who had long suspected or even confirmed this fact…   even the people from the three secret lands were surprised.   This was especially true for the powerful individuals from Qingyang Monastery and Yunshui Secret Realm. They had been calm and composed from the beginning of the Holy Gathering to the end.   Even when Meng Dian and the others joined forces, their expressions remained calm, as if everything was within their expectations.   Now, they couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.   ”They actually admitted it! What are these three trying to do?”   The people from the three secret lands were puzzled.   The three Saint Lords had practically exposed their own weaknesses. How could they convince the others and ensure the convening of the Holy Gathering?   As expected, upon hearing the words of the First and Third Saint Lords, Meng Dian and the others’ faces were filled with surprise.   ”Senior Saint Lords, this is truly disingenuous of you. For such a momentous event as the Holy Assembly, you three only sent a single puppet Dharma body. Isn’t that rather perfunctory?”   Meng Dian looked at the First Saint Lord and his companions with a half-smile.   ”If you want to see our true forms, it’s simple. Just go directly to the Holy Mountain. But do you dare?” the Third Saint Lord said calmly.   Meng Dian and the others paused.   Honestly, they really didn’t dare.   These three old monsters had been cultivating in the Holy Mountain for a thousand years. They   must have already built it impregnable. Coupled with the Holy Mountain’s inherent mysteries, who knows what tactics they could employ.   With such a favorable location, even with their superior numbers, they wouldn’t be able to escape.   ”Hmph, Big Brother knows you’re cowards, so he decided to hold the Holy Meeting in the Holy City instead of the Holy Mountain.   Otherwise, with your lack of courage, you wouldn’t even dare to come, would you?”   The Third Saint Master practiced the way of the sword, and his character was as upright as a sword, so he was naturally very straightforward when he spoke.   Faced with the arrogant Meng Dian and others, he naturally didn’t have a good face.   Seeing the expressions of Meng Dian and others, he even mocked them directly.   ”You…”   Meng Dian didn’t expect that the Third Saint Master, who was also in the Jindan realm, would speak so bluntly, and his face immediately flushed.   However, he had a high level of cultivation, and after a slight circulation of his mind method, he suppressed his anger and regained his composure.   ”It seems, Senior Third Saint Lord, you still haven’t grasped the situation.   Since you’ve admitted that your true forms cannot leave the Holy Mountain, and only your Dharma bodies have arrived,   then you should no longer preside over this Holy Assembly.   With your current strength, I’m afraid you can no longer convince the crowd.”   ”If our strength can’t convince the crowd, then whose strength can, Fellow Daoist Meng?” the Third Saint Lord continued tauntingly.   ”If my fellow Daoists respect me, I will naturally not refuse. However, as I’ve said before, practitioners of my generation should prioritize strength.   The world is changing, and spiritual energy is resurrecting. Not only is the righteous path flourishing, but even the evil path is showing signs of a resurgence.   Since the three Saint Lords’ true forms are trapped and unable to travel,   it will be difficult for them to deter the evil forces in the future.   Therefore, I believe that the Holy Mountain is no longer suitable to serve as the leader of our righteous alliance.   With this Holy Assembly, I believe we should re-elect a suitable sect to lead the righteous path.”   Meng Dian’s words shocked the crowd.   It was obvious that after confirming that the three Saint Lords’ true bodies could not leave the Holy Mountain, he no longer intended to hide it.   He wanted to directly seize the power of the Holy Mountain and overthrow them from their position as the leader of the righteous path.   ”The suitable sect you are talking about, can’t it be your Guiyuan Sect?” The third Saint Lord sneered.   ”If my Guiyuan Sect can surpass the others, then even if I become the leader of the righteous path, why not?” Meng Dian said proudly.   At the same time, a powerful aura emerged from him, and the powerful Jindan pressure suppressed the entire audience.   There was even a sign that the aura of other Jindan realm powerhouses was suppressed.   The Jindan realm of other sects felt the sudden increase in Meng Dian’s pressure, and their faces changed slightly.

Because they found that Meng Dian, at this moment, actually made their hearts flutter.

“Did this Meng Dian obtain some incredible magical weapon?”

Even the Jindan realm cultivators in Qingyang Temple and Yunshui Secret Realm grew solemn.

According to their intelligence, Meng Dian had only survived the heavenly tribulation for six months.

Logically, even if he had accumulated a lot of experience, he shouldn’t have been so powerful. If he truly

possessed such a terrifying talent, the former Guiyuan Sect would not have been just one of the major sects in Zhongzhou, but the most powerful.

The only explanation was that he had obtained some powerful magical weapon from somewhere.

Only with the blessing of this magical weapon could he unleash such a terrifying aura.

“No wonder Meng Dian is so confident. He’s already attacking the Holy Mountain right after the Holy Gathering began. So he has something to rely on.”

Suddenly, everyone understood.

They had previously found it strange that Meng Dian was acting too impetuously.

The Holy Gathering had just begun, and nothing had been discussed yet, and he was already jumping out to challenge the three Holy Lords.

It turned out that he was confident enough to seize the power of the Holy Mountain before the Holy Conference officially began.

Seeing everyone intimidated by his aura, Meng Dian felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

The speed of the profound skills in his body also increased.

He looked directly at the opposite side, and the aura emanating from his body became more and more terrifying: “Three Holy Lords, I wonder what you think of Meng’s proposal just now?”

Facing Meng Dian’s increasingly fierce aura, the expression of the First Holy Lord did not change much.

He sighed: “In fact, the position of the leader of the righteous path can be occupied by anyone as long as they are virtuous enough. Our Holy Mountain does not care too much about this.

As long as the sect that holds this position can always put the people of the world first and lead the righteous path.

Then what’s the harm in my Holy Mountain giving up this position?” As soon as

these words came out, everyone was shocked again.

What the First Saint Lord meant was that he was willing to give up his position and let other sects take the position of the leader of the righteous path?

Even Meng Dian did not expect the First Saint Lord to answer like this.

He narrowed his eyes: “In this case, the Holy Mountain is willing to abdicate and

let the wise take over?” “Yes, the old man just said that as long as there is a sect that can put the people of the world first, the Holy Mountain is willing to give up its position and regard it as the leader of the righteous path. “The First Saint Lord said very straightforwardly.

Hearing the First Saint Lord’s straightforward answer, Meng Dian was caught off guard.

He looked at the First Saint Lord in surprise and suspicion, but found that not only the First Saint Lord had a calm expression, but even the other two Saint Lords also had calm expressions, as if they had no objection to the First Saint Lord’s words at all.

The same was true for other sects and forces.

Originally, in their view, the Holy Mountain held this Holy Meeting because the three Saint Lords were unwilling to accept the changes in the world situation and wanted to regain control of the world.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Is this a retreat to advance, or do they have other intentions?

What are these three old monsters up to?

For a moment, this idea resurfaced in the minds of many people.

“Fellow Daoist Meng, what do you think? As long as your Guiyuan Sect can promise to put the people of the world first in the future, then my Holy Mountain will give you the top spot, and that is fine.”

The First Saint Lord looked at Meng Dian and said.

Meng Dian was silent for a while before he said, “May I ask, Senior Saint Lord, what does it mean to put the people of the world first? “

That’s easy to say. In fact, this is the reason why the three of us old men convened this holy meeting.

Nowadays, the world has become chaotic due to the changes in heaven and earth, the revival of spiritual energy, the emergence of geniuses, and the emergence of strong people.

Many sects have started many disputes in order to compete for cultivation resources and sect territories.

They fought to the point of bloodshed, casualties, and even the destruction of sects.

What’s more, ordinary people have been displaced and their lives are in dire straits.

If you continue to fight like this, I am afraid that the people of the whole world will suffer countless deaths and injuries.

So the three of us old men want to hold a holy meeting like we did a thousand years ago.

Invite all the sects in the world to discuss a set of rules together.

I hope that if you have disputes in the future, try to restrain yourself and avoid places where people gather and live.

Be compassionate and don’t really regard the lives of the people as ants and trample on them at will. “

The First Saint Lord said slowly and solemnly.

These words shocked everyone present.

For a moment, they were speechless and just stared blankly at the three figures in the center of the huge stone platform.

The First Saint Lord then said to Meng Dian: “Friend Meng, didn’t you ask before, what does it mean to put the people first?”

“The three of us old men don’t ask much. If your Guiyuan Sect wants to sit in the position of the leader of the righteous way, it’s very simple.”

“As long as you can guarantee that in the days to come, you can restrain the cultivators of the world and not harm ordinary people without reason, and give the people of the world a glimmer of hope.

Just like what the Holy Mountain has been doing for thousands of years, then even if the three of us old men regard your Guiyuan Sect as the leader, what’s wrong with that! “

The First Saint said these last few words in a decisive and firm manner.

It made everyone feel that

as long as Meng Dian dared to nod, the old man would really regard Guiyuan Sect as the leader of the righteous path.

But did Meng Dian dare to nod?

He wanted to nod very much.

But in full view of the crowd, his neck became extremely stiff for some reason.

His face turned a little pale, and he couldn’t nod his head.

“These three are really just for the people of the world?”

At the location of Qingyang Temple, an old Taoist priest with black hair and black beard showed amazement in his eyes.

Even he did not expect that the reason why the three saints convened the holy meeting was really just as they said on the invitation.

For the people of the world, a certain life.

“The bearing of my Qingyang Temple is not as magnanimous as this holy mountain. “

Next to the old Taoist with black beard, a Taoist with white hair and youthful face, with white hair and beard, sighed.

Before coming, he had also guessed the intentions of the three holy masters.

Now it seems that he, the master of Qingyang Temple, was judging others by his own mean heart.

“These three old fellows are actually just for the people of the world?”

A figure at the location of the Yunshui Secret Realm showed a surprised look.

“Sure enough, these three are indeed the most kind people, no wonder they are appreciated by His Majesty. “

Over at Hanshui Palace, Han Lingshuang also smiled.

When she entertained Lu Qing, they had talked about the Holy Mountain.

Lu Qing had expressed great admiration for the three Holy Lords.

Now she finally knew the reason.

As for the remaining sects and forces, that goes without saying.

They had never imagined that the real purpose of the three Holy Lords convening the Holy Meeting would be this.

Everyone’s eyes fell on Meng Dian.

The First Holy Lord’s intention was already very clear.

As long as Guiyuan Sect promised to put the people of the world first, the Holy Mountain would step down.

They wanted to see if Meng Dian dared to agree.

Feeling the gazes from all around, Meng Dian, even at the Jindan realm, felt his body stiffen for a moment.

The other Guiyuan Sect disciples beside him were even more apprehensive.

For a moment, they all fidgeted.

“They’ve actually turned the tables?”

Atop the Holy Mountain, Lu Qing had been using his spiritual senses to “observe” the movements within the Holy City.

With his realm and divine abilities, no one could detect his observations.

Having witnessed the First Saint Lord and his companions being forced to retreat by Meng Dian’s combined aura and the other Jindan realm cultivators, revealing his true form’s inability to leave the Holy Mountain,

he had assumed they were doomed.

Unexpectedly, the First Saint Lord’s sudden retreat,

a counter-attack, not only neutralized Meng Dian’s aggressive aura but also put the entire Guiyuan Sect on the spot.

A single inadvertent response from Meng Dian could tarnish the reputation of the Guiyuan Sect.

“Amazing!”

Lu Qing couldn’t help but admire the First Saint Lord.

As expected of someone who had ruled the world for a thousand years, he could never match his skill.

“However, Senior Saint Lord, some things can’t be controlled solely by skill. There are always unexpected things that are unreasonable.”

Lu Qing sensed Meng Dian’s aura, and a thought-provoking expression appeared on his face.

At this moment, Meng Dian in the Holy City below also had a hint of black energy emerging from his eyes.
