Chapter 685: Chapter 635: Creating the Heavenly World

The peak of Shenxiao Mountain has dramatically transformed, bearing entirely no resemblance to its previous state.

It can be said that on top of Shenxiao Mountain, Pei Xuanjing, according to his own understanding and with the combination of the magical domain, the power of heaven and earth’s will, and the experience of pioneering the Small Thousand World, created a magical domain on the mountain, which can be deemed as a blessed and forbidden place.

However, the blessed and forbidden place created by Pei Xuanjing is utterly different than the ones created by other powerful beings. He created a Heavenly World according to his own understanding of heaven.

Whether it’s the myths from Pei Xuanjing’s past life or the current Great Ming World in which he resides, there are many descriptions of the Heavenly World. Almost every religious sect or every dynasty has their own understanding and interpretation of the Heavenly Court, and these interpretations often come with numerous conflicts and paradoxes. Thus, Pei Xuanjing could only create his Heavenly World according to his understanding.

According to Shenxiao Sect’s understanding, heaven has nine layers, often referred to as the nine heavens. This concept is derived from the “Scripture of Immeasurable Spiritual Treasure”, which is further interpreted by the sect. In essence, Shenxiao refers to the highest Immortal Realm inhabited by the Taoist immortals. Therefore, Shenxiao Taoist named their sect after it, implying the idea of loftiness and nobility.

Pei Xuanjing agreed with this concept. If he followed this idea to create a blessed and forbidden land, which would serve as a prototype of the future Heavenly World, it could prove the orthodoxy of the Shenxiao Sect.

However, Pei Xuanjing’s ambition goes further. Even though he was born into the Shenxiao Sect, he wants to establish a Heavenly World that encompasses not only the Shenxiao Sect but also includes the orthodoxy of all forces, making these forces a part of his Heavenly World in the future. Therefore, his prototype could not be too narrow.

After a long consideration, Pei Xuanjing decided to build a prototype that mimics the thirty-six heavens of Taoist legends. Since the Divine Position he refined into the Jade Purity True Monarch would eventually be promoted to the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, the ultimate Divinity in the four Imperial Positions.

Of course, with Pei Xuanjing’s current strength, he could not create the entirety of the Heavenly World. Therefore, he only created the Shenxiao House of Jade Purity, where the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life held his court.

The Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life commands all spirits, controls the weather of the Four Seasons, can summon the wind and rain, command the Thunder and Lightning Gods and Demons, and also control the fate of all things. Such immense power could not be borne by the Jade Purity True Monarch’s Divine Position that Pei Xuanjing currently possessed. Hence, even with the support of the Small Thousand World’s power and the will of the Great Ming world, he could only create one layer of heaven, far from the thirty-two heavens and eight regions governed by the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life.

Nevertheless, the one layer of the Heavenly World created by Pei Xuanjing held tremendous power, especially after infusing the power of the Jade Purity True Monarch’s Divine Position into it. It is as if this layer of the Heavenly World is his own magical domain, or perhaps a Small Thousand World. It not only poses significant suppressive power against outsiders but also brings great amplification to Pei Xuanjing himself.

This layer of the Heavenly World does not reside within the Great Ming World but belongs to it, residing between the Great Ming World and the Chaotic world. It stays hidden and unfathomable, accessible only through a specific entrance. Otherwise, one can’t simply step into this layer of heaven unless one’s strength surpasses Pei Xuanjing’s by several times, capable of resisting the pressure of the Great Ming World.

As of now, without considering the resistance from the Great Ming World and the Small Thousand World, it’s already hard to find someone significantly stronger than Pei Xuanjing in this world, as he stands on the pinnacle of heaven and earth.

Pei Xuanjing began to mold this layer of the Heavenly World according to his will, creating an entrance on Shenxiao Mountain.

After the cultivators from the Sky Wasteland ascended at the peak of Shenxiao Mountain and were led into this layer of the Heavenly World, they saw a beautiful sight filled with smoke, colors, the shining moon and the sun. Old trees with thousands of stems covered the mountain; bamboo shoots looking austere beneath the foggy path. Outside the gate, extraordinary flowers blossomed like brocades, and beside the bridge, jade hued grass filled the air with fragrance. On the ridge, the peaches shone red like brocade, and the grass was green with long threads everywhere.

Sometimes they could hear the cry of the celestial crane, and at times see the auspicious phoenix taking flight. When the celestial crane cried, its calls vibrated through the nine galaxies of the Milky Way; when the auspicious phoenix flew, its feathers produced a five-colored cloud. White deer and cosmic apes intermittently appeared, while green lions and white elephants roamed at will.

As they moved forward, they saw a continuous string of pavilions shining brightly with a majestic charm.

“Such a creative place seems even better than the Forbidden and Blessed Land of our Da Xue ancient country?” muttered a powerful being from the Da Xue ancient country. “Could it be that the Shenxiao Sect is also an ancient sect with a longstanding heritage, but it fell into decline due to some reasons, and it’s only now, under the rise of Grandmaster Pei, that they are flourishing in the world again?”

This powerful being from the Da Xue ancient country had doubts in his heart. He knew that to nurture a blessed and forbidden land after its creation, extensive resources and time are needed.

The appearance of this place doesn’t seem like it was just created, which led to his speculations.

“Hehe, how foolish,” scoffed a cultivator from the Da Jiang ancient country.

“We both have heritages dating back to the Heavenly Zhou era; how could either of us not know about the major forces in this world? If the Shenxiao Sect truly existed in that way, how could we not know?”

The two ancient nations had long been at odds with each other, often causing friction. Seeing the other party make such a naive and laughable question, the cultivator from the Da Jiang ancient country naturally wouldn’t miss an opportunity to mock them.

Having the same heritage from the Heavenly Zhou era, they know very well about every significant power that appeared in this world. If the Shenxiao Sect indeed had such a legacy, they would undoubtedly know about it.

“You…”

“Stupid!”

The cultivators from the two ancient nations glared at each other. Nevertheless, they both knew this was not the place to start a fight. The cultivator from the Da Xue ancient country had to suppress the rage within him, turned away and said no more.

“No unnecessary trouble should be started here,” Prince Yuan of the Da Jiang ancient country told his followers.

Being a powerful being of the Da Jiang ancient country who came to the ancestral land, he naturally couldn’t miss this grand discussion on Shenxiao Mountain.

Having personally witnessed Pei Xuanjing suppress the Taixu Venerable, he naturally held great respect for Pei Xuanjing. Moreover, his understanding of the Forbidden and Blessed Land of the Da Jiang ancient country allowed him to judge that the place they were currently in was by no means inferior. In fact, it seemed superior.

All of these events had been observed by Pei Xuanjing.
