Peerless God Emperor

2The City Lord's Mansion was the strongest power in Thousand Crane City, and it was located in the True Centeral Area. Although it was a mansion in name, there were many magnificent buildings that towered into the clouds within the City Lord's Mansion. They were flowing with colorful lights and looked incomparably majestic.    

    

Even though it was just a glance from afar, it still caused people to feel tiny in their hearts, as if they were looking up at a tall mountain.    

    

When Qin Xuan arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.    

    

He originally thought that the strength of Thousand Crane City was similar to the top cities of Zhong Xing Tian, so the scale of the City Lord's Mansion should be about the same as the Heavenly Profound Divine Palace. But after seeing it with his own eyes, he knew that his thoughts were too simple.    

    

Before he entered the City Lord's Mansion, he could already feel the extremely dense spirit energy inside. Presumably, there were many spirit gathering formations that gathered the spirit energy between heaven and earth. Although there were also spirit gathering formations in the Heavenly Profound Divine Palace, they were far inferior to the formations inside the City Lord's Mansion.    

    

A profound look flashed across Qin Xuan's eyes. With such a powerful spirit gathering formation inside the City Lord's Mansion, he didn't know how powerful Mayor's strength was. Even if he hadn't stepped into the Deity Realm, he was sure that he wouldn't be far from it.    

    

Although Qin Xuan was curious about this, there wasn't the slightest ripple on his face, so no one could tell what he was thinking.    

    

"This is the City Lord's Mansion. Sir, please follow me to see the young city lord. " The man looked at Qin Xuan and said.    

    

"Let's go. " Qin Xuan nodded his head slightly. He had some anticipation in his heart. He wondered what kind of figure the young city lord was.    

    

Under the guidance of that man, Qin Xuan passed through the buildings. Along the way, he saw a lot of beautiful scenery. It was pleasing to the eyes, as if he had entered a fairyland.    

    

Not long after, Qin Xuan and the others stopped in front of a courtyard with a unique environment. The man said to Qin Xuan. "The young city lord is inside. You can see him when you go in. "    

    

"Got it. "    

    

Qin Xuan replied casually and then stepped into the courtyard. He saw the beautiful scenery in the courtyard, which opened up his field of vision.    

    

Mountains were standing on the ground, piercing into the clouds like sharp swords. There was a dark green lake under the mountains, sparkling and beautiful like a painting, unlike any other place in the mortal world.    

    

"What a beautiful scenery. " Qin Xuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was really unexpected that such a beautiful scenery was hidden in a courtyard.    

    

Qin Xuan looked around and then stopped in a certain direction. There was a huge rock there, and a man in green clothes was sitting on it. His long hair was tied behind his head, and he gave off an elegant scholarly aura. After a closer look, he gave off a mysterious feeling as if he was a hermit.    

    

Qin Xuan's face revealed a hint of surprise, but it was not because of the temperament on his body, but because of the thing in his hand.    

    

It was a fishing rod.    

    

This person was fishing.    

    

"Interesting. " Qin Xuan's eyes revealed a strange light. The famous young city lord was fishing in the City Lord's Mansion. If this matter was spread to the outside world, countless people would be shocked.    

    

Qin Xuan stepped forward and walked towards where Ji Lantian was. With Qin Xuan's cultivation base, he was naturally able to remain silent and not make any noise.    

    

However, in just a breath's time, Qin Xuan arrived next to Ji Lantian. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that this person had a handsome face, and his facial features were clear and distinct. That pair of ink-black eyes had been staring at the surface of the lake the entire time, as if they hadn't noticed his arrival at all.    

    

Seeing that Ji Lantian was focused on fishing, Qin Xuan didn't say anything to disturb him. He sat down on the huge rock and began to rest with his eyes closed.    

    

Time slowly passed. Occasionally, a breeze would blow across the space, causing ripples to appear on the surface of the lake. However, Ji Lantian's expression remained calm and indifferent. Like an old monk meditating, he sat there without moving, as if nothing could attract his attention.    

    

Although Qin Xuan's eyes were closed, his mind was still wrapped around the surrounding space. Ji Lantian's every action and action was completely displayed in his mind.    

    

He was surprised. This man was able to do such an ordinary thing. It was truly amazing. If it was any other cultivator, they would have lost their patience a long time ago.    

    

If ordinary things were like this, they would be even more obsessed with cultivation. No wonder he was able to achieve such a dazzling achievement. Apart from his own talent, it also had a lot to do with his personality.    

    

After a while, Qin Xuan seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the surface of the lake.    

    

At the same time, Ji Lantian raised his arm and a thin fishing line was raised high. A golden carp was hanging at the end of the fishing line. Its body kept twisting in the air as if it wanted to break free.    

    

Ji Lantian's eyes revealed a smile. He threw the fishing rod in his hand into the air and with a poof, the fishing rod and the carp fell into the lake together. Ripples immediately appeared on the surface of the lake.    

    

Qin Xuan saw this scene and was puzzled. He looked at Ji Lantian and asked, "Why did you abandon the fishing rod?"    

    

Ji Lantian finally looked at Qin Xuan and smiled faintly, "It is already useless. Naturally, I have to abandon it. "    

    

"What is useless?" Qin Xuan asked again.    

    

"A useless object that has no benefits to itself. " Ji Lantian replied with a smile, "Isn't that the case?"    

    

Qin Xuan's expression could not help but freeze. For a moment, he did not know what to say.    

    

It was indeed useless to have no benefits for oneself.    

    

However, such an idea was too utilitarian. There were many things in this world that were not beneficial to them. Could it be that they were all useless and should be abandoned?    

    

Ji Lantian looked at Qin Xuan with a meaningful look, as if he could read Qin Xuan's mind. He smiled and said, "It seems that you are a compassionate person. "    

    

"I dare not accept it. " Qin Xuan waved his hand. His hand was stained with the blood of many people. He was not a compassionate person.    

    

Ji Lantian's eyes were staring at him. He looked at the lake in front of him and said faintly. "I assume you think my idea is very utilitarian. "    

    

Qin Xuan's eyes slightly narrowed, as if he didn't expect Ji Lantian to say it out loud. After that, Qin Xuan nodded and said, "That's right. "    

    

Ji Lantian smiled and said. "In my opinion, this world is a place of profit. The strong shock the world and are respected by tens of thousands of people. The weak bow to the weak and have no dignity at all. The so-called kindness and mercy only exist after weighing the pros and cons. "    

    

After hearing Ji Lantian's words, Qin Xuan's heart could not help but tremble. Was this the world in his eyes?    

    

Qin Xuan originally wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was very difficult to find a suitable reason to refute, as if Ji Lantian's words were not wrong.    

    

Kindness and kindness seemed to be the result after weighing the pros and cons.    

    

Fen Old Master, Old Chi, Void Empyrean Sovereign, Sky Dream Sovereign and the others paved the way for him. The kindness they gave him was as heavy as a mountain, because he was the successor chosen by the Divine King. In the future, he would protect the lives of the people in the Nine Profound Galaxy. If he didn't have this identity, would they still treat him like this?    

    

Obviously not.    

    

Then what was wrong with the path of utilitarian that Ji Lantian believed in?
