Chapter 674: 624: Pei Xuanjing's Conditions
If these conditions were to get out, countless Eightfold Spirit Realm cultivators of Heaven and Earth would likely go mad over it, their desperation for such an opportunity beyond imagination.
Pei Xuanjing’s refusal, on the other hand, might well engender discontent among countless powerful beings. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was dismissed rather than seized. Surely, they must think that he had lost his mind!
“Master, you must be joking!” The Witch God Sect Leader looked at Pei Xuanjing in disbelief.
He couldn’t comprehend Pei Xuanjing’s intentions. Although Pei Xuanjing was presently at the peak of his powers, possessing battle capabilities comparable to the strongest beings, no cultivator would reject the chance to become stronger.
If Pei Xuanjing could use this opportunity to break through again, his strength would only improve — would that not be a better choice?
Thus, he didn’t understand.
“I cannot explain the exact reasons, but I can tell you that for now, I do not require it.” Pei Xuanjing said with a smile, reaffirming his stance.
Indeed, he had no need for these terms. He did not require this help.
For Pei Xuanjing, with the aid of a simulator, as long as there were enough Taoyuns to support continuous life simulations, progressing in his realm would come naturally. He was not particularly demanding about it.
Even though the Witch God Sect Leader stated that this method did not have any side effects, Pei Xuanjing was somewhat suspicious and maintained a bit of cynicism.
After all, incorporated into this secret method were the Taoist skills of other Nine Realms of Spirit powerhouses. Each cultivator’s path was unique, even between master and disciple. Blindly following predecessors’ paths might conflict with one’s own, which is inevitable.
Therefore, Pei Xuanjing did not need this method to elevate his realm.
“Then Master, what do you desire?” a helpless Witch God Sect Leader asked.
He had initially proposed those conditions with utmost confidence, given the rarity of opportunities to break through to the Nine Layers Realm of the Spirit Realm, a chance coveted by many.
Therefore, he believed that Pei Xuanjing would not reject his offer.
However, the results were unexpected. His offer had been rejected, and Pei Xuanjing did not yearn for what everybody else hoped for. This piqued his curiosity as to what Pei Xuanjing truly desired.
Without beating around the bush, Pei Xuanjing stated his motive: “The Witch Deity Teaching has a long lineage, and I’m certain they must know many secrets about the Heaven and Earth. I happen to be very curious about these things, so I would like to borrow and peruse the Witch Deity Teaching’s collection.”
Without hesitation, the Witch God Sect Leader agreed: “Yes, you may. Do continue.”
Besides the central secrets, many other things were not really hidden. It’s just that ordinary cultivators who haven’t reached that stage did not have the privilege to know.
Since Pei Xuanjing had reached that stage, there were many things he was entitled to explore. The Witch God Sect Leader didn’t mind at all.
“I’ve heard that the Witch Deity Teaching’s heritage dates back to ancient times, possessing a human sacrificial altar passed down from then. This divine object was personally crafted by one of the human race’s rulers, supposedly possessing miraculous effects. I’m wondering if I could borrow it,” said Pei Xuanjing.
Such divine objects passed down from ancient times, continually nourished and worshipped by the Witch Deity Teaching for many years, must have amassed immense Taoyuns. If he could have the chance to refine and comprehend the Taoyuns on it, it would undoubtedly be a rapid method to increase his Taoyun accumulation.
Upon hearing this request, the Witch God Sect Leader furrowed his brows slightly, not giving Pei Xuanjing an immediate response.
After a brief moment of contemplation, he finally replied: “Yes, you may. However, this divine object is enshrined in our Ancestral Hall, so you’ll have to wait until the Saint Teachings return to have access to it.”
“No problem. I still have faith in the Sect Leader’s commitment,” Pei Xuanjing responded with a smile.
Most powerhouses of the Witch God Sect Leader’s caliber generally act in good faith. If they truly weren’t willing, they would straightforwardly decline, not resorting to hypocrisy and deception.
Therefore, since the Witch God Sect Leader had agreed, Pei Xuanjing wasn’t in a hurry. It wasn’t because he wasn’t eager to accumulate Taoyun, but because he had just acquired many things from Taixu Venerable, including the Taoyun accumulated on Taixu Mirror, which would require him to refine for a long time.
“Great! Once the Saint Teachings return, Master, you are welcomed to come anytime to contemplate and use the divine object.” Witch God Sect Leader flicked his finger, a ray of light landing in front of Pei Xuanjing, as a token for him. As long as Pei Xuanjing brings this thing in the future, he would honor his commitment.
“Alright.” Pei Xuanjing put away the light with a wave of his sleeve and stated his third condition. However, when his words came out, the usually composed Witch God Sect Leader’s expression suddenly changed.
“I’m somewhat curious. Did all those divine dynasties really get annihilated? Do they still exist and not just perish in the river of history? What about those ancient rulers? Are they still alive?”
Whoosh!
The Witch God Sect Leader’s face changed slightly, his eyes full of horror as they were fixed on Pei Xuanjing. His mind was in turmoil as he tried to figure out why Pei Xuanjing would ask such a question.
Pei Xuanjing just smiled in response, not avoiding his gaze at all.
Being of assistance to the ascendancy of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty and having built the Eternal Divine Dynasty in his life simulations, Pei Xuanjing’s understanding of these Divine Dynasties surpasses others.
He had, in his life simulations, managed to suppress all under heaven with the power of Divine Dynasties. Just how terrifying was the power of the various Divine Dynasties that could suppress all under heaven in this Daming World, did they really get annihilated?
To be honest, Pei Xuanjing was somewhat doubtful and had some trouble believing this.
The stronger his cultivation powers became, the clearer Pei Xuanjing’s understanding of this Daming World, plenty of things inexplicably appeared in his vision, leading to more and more doubts in his mind.
Such as the ever-accelerating emergence of secret blessed lands after this Heaven and Earth was revived, and the many powerhouses who inadvertently received powerful inheritances and rapidly rose, all filled with anomalies.
Had it not been for Pei Xuanjing’s assistance from the simulator, countless powerhouses who obtained such inheritances would have long surpassed him in their cultivation strength, altering the original order of this world. These people would have become the sovereigns of the native world, commanding the Heroes, supplanting the old order.
