The First Generation of Ascended Fellow Villagers (Requesting Monthly Pass)_3 Chapter 1043: 416: When One Man Achieves Tao, His Chickens and Dogs Ascend to Heaven!
The First Generation of Ascended Fellow Villagers (Requesting Monthly Pass)_3 That was already a departure from his original intention.
It would also give many of the sly and calculating locals the chance to exploit loopholes, throwing their weight around everywhere and, instead, harming the interests of the native mortals.
Therefore, he had disguised himself as his former self, the Foundation Establishment Executive of the Longevity Sect, Sang Tianrong, adopting an official demeanor of carrying out the Sect Leader’s orders, to bring this group of Nanxun locals to settle down.
Even so, to bother the Sect Leader with such a direct order and to have a Foundation Establishment Executive personally oversee the transportation of people…
This display still left the Longevity disciples stationed within the city feeling uneasy, speculating about the origins of this group of mortals.
...
“These are all people from the Sect Leader’s mortal hometown, but you all are aware that the Sect Leader never likes to mix public and private affairs to grant special treatment.
Therefore, these people were brought here by me out of friendship, on the Sect Leader’s own Spirit Boat,” he explained.
Chen Dengming did not conceal the truth and told them everything as it was.
In any case, some matters would eventually become known to these mortals sooner or later, unless he erased their memories, which would make it difficult to conceal his identity.
Upon hearing this, several Longevity disciples became solemnly respectful, quickly thinking things through in their minds.
Continuing in the identity of Sang Tianrong, Chen Dengming said, “The Sect Leader has instructed that we issue them Route Guides and process their entry as ordinary mortals, allowing them to enjoy the treatment of mortals in the county town.
Since they are all Innate martial artists, they can be granted some housing privileges through the talent introduction channels…
and that is all!
Do not give them any special treatment!”
By the end, Chen Dengming’s tone became slightly more emphatic.
Instantly, the Longevity disciples understood the message and conveyed that they would pass on the instructions.
Clearly, the Sect Leader was simply wishing to ensure that his fellow countrymen were settled in the city without repression, with a place to live—that would suffice.
As for more special treatment, that could not be indulged in, as it would be considered favoritism.
It was crucial to grasp the subtleties of this situation, to be aware and to comprehend the Sect Leader’s intentions, as well as to handle the matter properly.
Nevertheless, just because these issues were managed well did not mean that the Sect Leader had completely neglected his fellow countrymen.
At least if other ordinary Innate mortals were to come to the county town, they would just be there.
Cultivators with four legs are hard to find, but two-legged Innates are a dime a dozen.
Indeed, in the county and provincial cities under the Longevity Sect, there were channels for talent introduction and other kinds of preferential treatment.
Yet, these channels always had limited quotas, mostly controlled by the Cultivation Families, and not just anyone could be given preference randomly.
But now, as the Sect Leader personally made use of this channel, this group of Nanxun mortals naturally received the benefits and treatment in a legal and proper manner.
In the eyes of the Nanxun mortals, all they saw were three formidable Immortals flying out from the bustling and grand city.
Yet, these three Immortals were all showing utmost respect to True Immortal Chen, leading to a buzz of low voices discussing among themselves.
Figures like the old eunuch Wei Jinzhong had long surmised that True Immortal Chen held a distinguished position among the Immortals.
Now, this belief seemed to be confirmed, and he thought to himself that Nanxun Blade King was indeed extraordinary, wherever he might be.
Once Chen Dengming had settled this group of Nanxun locals, he left on the Spirit Boat by himself.
Watching the Spirit Boat fly away into the distance, and looking up at the three Immortals hovering in the sky, the Nanxun locals couldn’t help but feel a sense of melancholy over how vast the world was and how far from home they were.
“In the future, might any of us become Immortals?”
An Innate elder from the Shaoyu Family looked on with hopeful eyes, feeling that the Cultivation World wasn’t as terrifying as they had imagined, and the three Immortals they met for the first time seemed quite polite.
Even if it was because of True Immortal Chen’s influence, at the very least, their current environment was not harsh, and the start in the Cultivation World was not bad.
“The air here seems really to contain something different.
Could it be Spiritual Energy?
I actually feel the bottleneck to achieving Unity of Heaven and Man loosening…”
The old eunuch Wei Jinzhong calmed down at this moment and immediately sensed something subtly different in the surrounding air.
However, having no Spiritual Root, even with his state nearing Unity of Heaven and Man, he could detect that hint of difference but could not grasp the presence of Spiritual Energy.
!
Standing atop the Spirit Boat, Chen Dengming resumed his true appearance, his temples streaked with white hair fluttering, withdrawing his gaze from the city.
How these countrymen developed in Longevity Country was no longer a matter he needed to concern himself closely with.
What he could do, what he could take care of, all the promises he made to his countrymen had been fulfilled.
The extent to which these Nanxun forces would develop was now entirely up to them.
If any of them wished to return to Nanxun, Chen Dengming had already made arrangements for that.
If anyone wanted to return to Nanxun, they simply had to go to the Longevity Sect and submit an application letter.
However, to prevent disrupting Nanxun’s normal developmental order, each person, including their descendants, was allowed only two opportunities to return to Nanxun.
As for whether this restriction on returning home was fair or not, Chen Dengming, as a superior, only needed to set the rules from a broader perspective and could hardly delve into whether it was fair or not on a smaller scale.
Because whatever one gets, one must also give something in return.
Absolute fairness for a small number of people would mean absolute unfairness for the majority.
In this world, nothing is ever completely absolute.

After leaving the mundane county town, Chen Dengming flew toward the Yin Ghost Mountain Range.
Now, he was to take care of affairs beneath the Nether Spring first.
Then, he would meet with fellow disciple Su Yanyan to head to Longevity Country together to be the protector for Jiang Jian, who might soon unravel the mysteries of his developmental condition, ready to intervene and awaken Jiang Jian at any moment…
