Peerless Divine Emperor

The City Lord's Mansion is the strongest force in Qianhe City. It is located in the center. Although it is a mansion in name, there are magnificent buildings towering into the sky inside the City Lord's Mansion. It is full of light and magnificent.

Even if you just look at it from a distance, you can't help but feel insignificant, as if you are looking up at a mountain.

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

He thought that the strength of Qianhe City was similar to that of the top city in Zhongxingtian, so the scale of the City Lord's Mansion should not be much different from that of Tianxuan Palace, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he realized that his idea was too simple.

Before he entered the City Lord's Mansion, he had already felt that the spiritual power inside was extremely rich. He must have built many spirit gathering arrays to gather the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Although there are also spirit gathering arrays in Tianxuan Palace, they are far inferior to the arrays in the City Lord's Mansion.

Qin Xuan's eyes flashed with deep meaning. There was such a powerful spirit gathering array in the City Lord's Mansion. I wonder how powerful the City Lord was. Even if he had not entered the God Realm, he must be close.

Although Qin Xuan was curious about this, there was no ripple on his face, and people could not tell what he was thinking.

"This is the City Lord's Mansion. Please follow me to see the Young City Lord." The man looked at Qin Xuan and said.

"Let's go." Qin Xuan nodded gently, with some expectation in his heart. I wonder what kind of person the peerless and elegant Young City Lord is.

Under the guidance of the man, Qin Xuan shuttled through the buildings. Along the way, he saw a lot of beautiful scenery, which was pleasing to the eye, like entering a fairyland on earth.

Soon, Qin Xuan and 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."

"I know."

Qin Xuan replied casually and stepped into the courtyard. He saw that the scenery in the courtyard was very beautiful, which made people's vision suddenly broadened a lot.

The rolling mountains stood on the earth, like a sword piercing the sky. Under the mountains, there was a green lake, sparkling and beautiful, unlike anything in the mortal world.

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

Qin Xuan looked around and then stopped in a direction. He saw a huge rock there. On the rock sat a figure in green clothes, with long hair tied behind his head, revealing a scholar-like elegant temperament. After a closer look, there was a sense of mystery of a hermit.

Qin Xuan showed a look of surprise on his face, but it was not because of his temperament, but what he was holding in his hand.

It turned out to be a fishing rod.

This person was fishing.

"Interesting." Qin Xuan's eyes showed a strange light. The famous young city lord was fishing in the city lord's mansion. If this matter spread outside, it would probably shock countless people.

Qin Xuan stepped out and walked towards where Ji Lantian was. With Qin Xuan's cultivation, he could naturally do it silently without making any noise.

However, in a breath, Qin Xuan came to Ji Lantian's side and observed closely. He found that this person had a handsome appearance and clear facial features. His dark eyes were always staring at the lake, as if he didn't notice his arrival at all.

Seeing that Ji Lantian was concentrating on fishing, Qin Xuan didn't say anything to disturb him. He sat down on the boulder and began to close his eyes to rest.

Time passed by little by little, and sometimes there was a breeze blowing through the space, causing ripples on the lake surface, but Ji Lantian's face was always so calm and indifferent, like an old monk in meditation, sitting there motionless, as if nothing could attract his attention.

Although Qin Xuan closed his eyes, his thoughts enveloped the surrounding space, and Ji Lantian's every move was completely presented in his mind.

He was quite surprised in his heart. This person could do such an ordinary thing to such a degree, which was really amazing. If it were other practitioners, they would probably have lost their patience long ago.

Ordinary things are so, and he must be more persistent in practicing. No wonder he can achieve such a dazzling achievement. In addition to his own talent, it is also closely related to his personality.

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

At the same time, Ji Lantian raised his arm and raised the slender fishing line high. A golden carp was hanging at the end of the fishing line, twisting its body in the air, as if trying to break free.

Ji Lantian showed a smile in his eyes, and threw the fishing rod in his hand directly into the air. Then, with a puff, the fishing rod and the carp fell into the lake together, and ripples suddenly appeared on the lake.

Qin Xuan saw this scene with a puzzled look, and looked at Ji Lantian and asked: "Why abandon the fishing rod?"

Ji Lantian finally looked at Qin Xuan and smiled faintly: "It is useless, so it must be abandoned."

"What is a useless thing?" Qin Xuan asked again.

"If it is not beneficial to oneself, it is useless." Ji Lantian replied with a smile: "Isn't it so?"

Qin Xuan's expression was frozen there, and he was speechless for a while.

It is indeed useless if it is not beneficial to oneself.

However, such an idea is too utilitarian. There are many things in this world that are of no benefit to them. Are they useless and should be discarded?

Ji Lantian looked at Qin Xuan meaningfully, as if he could see what Qin Xuan was thinking, and smiled and said, "It seems that you are a compassionate person."

"I don't deserve it." Qin Xuan waved his hand. His hands were stained with the blood of many people. He was not a merciful person.

Ji Lantian looked at the lake in front of him and said lightly: "I think you think my idea is very utilitarian."

Qin Xuan's eyes condensed slightly, as if he didn't expect Ji Lantian to say it directly, and then Qin Xuan nodded: "Yes."

Ji Lantian smiled and said: "In my opinion, this world itself is utilitarian. The strong are powerful and admired by thousands of people, while the weak are servile and have no dignity. The so-called kindness and mercy are just the result of weighing the pros and cons, and have never really existed."

After hearing Ji Lantian's words, Qin Xuan's heart trembled slightly. Is this the world in his eyes?

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

Kindness and mercy seem to be the result of weighing the pros and cons.

Fen Lao, Chi Lao, Xu Wu Tian Zun, Tian Meng Tian Zun and others paved the way for him and were very kind to him because he was the heir chosen by the God King and would protect the people of Jiuxuan Star Region in the future. If he did not have this status, would they still treat him like this?

Obviously impossible.

Then what's wrong with the utilitarianism that Ji Lantian believes in?
