Chapter 686: Chapter 636: If you want it, I won’t refuse
Indeed, everything unfolded as King Yuan has speculated, and their every action was clearly captured in the eyes of Pei Xuanjing.
After all, he had established this Heavenly World, akin to his Magical Domain and his Divine Kingdom. So long as he wished it, everything that occurred within it could be perceived by him.
At such a special and sensitive time, Pei Xuanjing would undoubtedly keep an eye on every event here, preparing accordingly. At the very least, he couldn’t let a brawl disrupt the Dao Debating Conference before it even started, turning it into a joke.
“You need not worry. The feud between the Great Xue Ancient Country and the Great River Ancient Country has persisted for thousands of years. However, there’s no need for excessive concerns. King Yuan is rather sensible; he will not stir trouble at this juncture,” the Witch God Sect Leader said, chuckling lightly.
At this moment, many of the strongest cultivators from the Nine Realms of Spirit had already arrived. They were seated in a spacious hall. Smack in the center of the hall, Pei Xuanjing activated a projection from a Daoist mirror, clearly displaying everything happening outside.
This was one of the abilities of the Taixu Mirror that Pei Xuanjing had come to understand after refining a part of it. Although he hadn’t completely refined the Taixu Mirror for his own use at this moment, he could still temporarily draw upon its powers.
The many arriving strong cultivators each took their seats, waiting for the arrival of others, while casting looks at the cultivators in the projected image of the Daoist mirror.
However, unless someone held the title of Sect Leader, they, often like Pei Xuanjing, would dismiss their responsibilities as sect leaders and pay no attention to many worldly matters, immersing themselves in cultivation instead.
Let alone outsiders, they hardly knew even the young members of their own forces.
Therefore, this was an excellent opportunity to get to know some of the talented and capable juniors from all over the world.
After all, now that Heaven and Earth were reviving and the Great World was about to rise, if they truly integrated the Sky Wasteland into the Ancestral Land, they would inevitably encounter even more strong cultivators, who would become their peers.
So it’d be better to take this opportunity to get to know these people to avoid any embarrassing situations due to unfamiliarity in the future.
In Heaven and Earth, under the circumstances where the strongest cultivators in the Nine Realms of Spirit hadn’t emerged, the actual rulers of this world were countless cultivators of the Spirit Realm Eightfold.
Among these cultivators of the Spirit Realm Eightfold, there were some unofficial classifications. For example, recently promoted cultivators of Spirit Realm Eightfold, without any exceptional divine abilities or Divine Weapon Treasures, would be considered the weakest among all, the stepping-stone of the rest.
Another category was those who had reached the Spirit Realm Eightfold for a certain period, fully stabilized their realm, and had a few unique abilities and Divine Weapon Treasures. They could be considered strong figures within the Spirit Realm Eightfold.
The third category was like King Yuan, who possessed strong abilities and had been promoted quite some time ago. They were young and energetic and had top-tier Divine Weapon Treasures and divine abilities. They were first-class existences among cultivators of the Spirit Realm Eightfold.
The fourth group included the founders of various ancient kingdoms, the pioneers of top-tier forces, Wu Shijiu, and the High Ancestor of Canglang Palace. They had spent countless years immersing themselves in the Spirit Realm Eightfold, reaching its boundaries. They were adept at all sorts of divine abilities, possessed top-tier Divine Weapon Treasures, and could even pose a challenge to the strongest cultivators of the Nine Realms of Spirit.
Of course, these were the original classifications. After Pei Xuanjing, at the Spirit Realm Eightfold, suppressed Taixu Venerable, a fifth category emerged among the cultivators of Spirit Realm Eightfold—an existence that could suppress the strongest cultivators of the Nine Realms of Spirit while at the Spirit Realm Eightfold.
However, currently, Pei Xuanjing was the only cultivator in the fifth category in the entire world, without any predecessors or successors.
The emergence of Pei Xuanjing shattered the longstanding records of the world, ushering in a new era. He proved that the chasm between the Spirit Realm Eightfold and the strongest cultivators of the Nine Realms of Spirit wasn’t insurmountable—it could entirely be broken.
Without a doubt, this served as a ray of hope for many cultivators who believed that they had already reached the pinnacle of Spirit Realm Eightfold but always failed to step into the highest realm of the Nine Realms of Spirit. It particularly inspired those cultivators, like the founding monarchs of the ancient kingdoms, who were stuck in the fourth level of the Spirit Realm Eightfold. After all, even if they were trapped by their own limitations and couldn’t break through the Heavenly barrier to the Nine Realms of Spirits, they could still constantly improve their strength and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those top-tier cultivators.
As such, the founding monarchs of many ancient kingdoms decided to join the forthcoming Dao Debating Conference on Shenxiao Mountain, which was hosted by Pei Xuanjing.
When the founding monarch of the Great River Ancient Kingdom entrusted a message to Pei Xuanjing, he intended to resolve their previous grudges and learn more about the secrets behind Pei Xuanjing’s enhancement in strength and seek his guidance.
People from all walks of life, without exception, are driven by benefits.
These old timers who had lived for thousands of years and survived the initial cataclysm while getting better and better weren’t simple fellows. Especially the founders of the ancient kingdoms and the creators of top-tier forces were absolutely not people who would get up early without profitable affairs.
“Since you all wish for it, I certainly won’t refuse,” Pei Xuanjing thought, laughing inwardly. “If I were to hide things now, it would not only be against my character, but it might incite discontent and provoke an alliance to resist me.”
As for what these people were thinking and planning, Pei Xuanjing was well aware. He knew that the cultivators who had contacted him were driven by such thoughts. However, Pei Xuanjing didn’t mind their intentions.
For him, he wasn’t concerned about these issues. As per his actual intentions, he wished for more and more strong cultivators in this world. Only with the emergence of countless new cultivators and the interweaving of various Taoist skills could they gain more insights, which would be of great benefit to their cultivation. So, Pei Xuanjing didn’t mind it at all.
With the help of a simulator, Pei Xuanjing believed that he will not fall behind anyone. He was not afraid that others might surpass him after learning his Taoist skills. On the contrary, he looked forward to people comprehending his Taoist rituals and developing different paths from them, which would give him more insights.
While Pei Xuanjing was considering these issues, the voice of the Witch God Sect Leader sounded in his ears, “Sire Xuanjing might not be familiar with these powerhouses, would Sire like me to introduce them to you?”
The Witch God Sect Leader kindly offered while gazing at the arriving powerhouses.
Upon hearing this, Pei Xuanjing gave a slight nod, “If that’s the case, then I thank you for your kind offer, Sect Leader.”
