Chapter 126: Chapter 125: Enthroning Divine Position, Immortality? (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Translator: 549690339
The Shenxiao Jade Book fell into the hands of the True Martial Sect, and their first reaction was naturally to arrange for their own disciples to study it, as they were more trustworthy than outsiders.
However, for some reason, they have trained many people, but none have truly been able to cultivate the Shenxiao Jade Book successfully.
It seems that the Shenxiao Jade Book has some sort of limitation. Despite their multiple attempts, they find no way to overcome it.
At this time, Pei Xuanjing came into their sights, and after evaluation, they found that he was the most suitable one.
Of course, Pei Xuanjing wasn’t the first to appear, and they didn’t know if he would be the last. They wanted to win over Pei Xuanjing and include him in their plan.
This was an attempt. If he fails to cultivate successfully, they would not hesitate to abandon him.
However, if Pei Xuanjing could prove his power at that time, they wouldn’t mind having a powerful individual joining their plan.
It seemed that, in any case, this would be a no-loss scenario for them. They needed only to pay a trivial price to reap great rewards.
“Seizing the imperial throne, capturing the Qi Luck, enshrining a Divine Position, grasping authority, and achieving Immortality. Truly a grand scheme!” Pei Xuanjing whispered in awe.
At this moment, he finally understood why the Shenxiao Sect fell and what the so-called Longevity Plan was about.
The Feather Guest of Jinmen had gleaned information from manuscripts and books and worked out a
method to achieve Longevity. It was like this.
Controlling the imperial throne to capture the empire’s Qi Luck, enshrining a Divine Position, refining it, and then gaining control of the Heavenly Authority. By uniting with Heaven and Earth, one could gain enduring life.
This was tantamount to undermining the Great Ming Empire. If they were allowed to continue with their plan, even if the Great Ming Empire didn’t fall, it would become their fodder and vassal.
This was something the royal family and the entire imperial court could never accept.
In the eyes of the Emperor, this empire belonged to him. Even if such a thing were to be done, it should be carried out by the emperor himself, not controlled by the Shenxiao Sect.
Pei Xuanjing curiously looked at Qingyang Zi and asked, “Could it be that the True Martial Sect has not given up this plan?”
Qingyang Zi responded with a chuckle, “The Chance at Immortality, who would willingly give it up?”
Pei Xuanjing asked again, “Since this plan can convince the True Martial Sect, it must not be mere talk. There must be some form of proof, otherwise, you wouldn’t have agreed so easily, would you?”
“Exactly!” Qingyang Zi said. Having decided to lay everything out, he certainly wouldn’t hide anything. “When the Imperial Palace was on the verge of collapse, the Feather Guest of Jinmen made an attempt. They used the last bit of the empire’s Qi Luck and successfully enshrined a Divine Position. That god lived until the fall of the Shenxiao Sect.”
“A living god? So it seems there is indeed a realm beyond the First-grade!” Pei Xuanjing’s usually calm face finally showed a hint of surprise.
He would have never expected there to be an actual god in the world. From the era of the Feather Guest of Jinmen to the fall of the Shenxiao Sect, it had already been over a thousand years.
First-grade Martial Artists could only live for 60 years, and a thousand years far exceeded the lifespan limit of a First-grade Martial Artist. How could this not astound him!
This means the First-grade realm is not the end!
Qingyang Zi nodded, and then shook his head, “That god does exist, but he only has a long life and does not possess power beyond a First-grade Martial Artist, and he is also restricted. So it can’t be said he had broken through the First-grade realm,”
“Hmm?” Pei Xuanjing listened as Qingyang Zi continued, “According to the calculations of the Sect Leader and others, the First-grade realm indeed isn’t the end of Cultivation. However, no one has been able to break through, even the enshrined god seemed to be shackled by some kind of restraint.”
Limited by Heaven and Earth? Lack of spiritual energy?
Many thoughts quickly passed through Pei Xuanjing’s mind.
“Now, I’ve told you everything I can. You should give me a clear answer. When can we go to Taihe Mountain?” Qingyang Zi said.
Having revealed everything, he wouldn’t withhold anything. If Pei Xuanjing wanted to know more, he would have to go to the sect and ask the Sect Leader himself. There was nothing more he could say.
Pei Xuanjing replied, “Give me half a year’s time. After half a year, I will surely head to Taihe Mountain.”
This was a time frame he had already planned out. Waiting for half a year, he should be able to refine all the skills in his hands, which would give him enough Taoyun to open up two life simulations.
And after two life simulations, his strength would undoubtedly greatly increase, thus giving him more capability to protect himself and deal with the upcoming situation.
“Half a year?” Qingvang Zi pondered for a moment, then agreed, “Alright, after half a year, I will wait
for you at Taihe Mountain.”
Half a year wasn’t too long or too short. In such ample time, the uproar caused by the recent situation would gradually subside. Perhaps that would be a better time.
As the matter was already settled, Qingyang Zi naturally wouldn’t linger here any longer.
After all, both Qingyang Zi’s identity and Pei Xuanjing’s identity were sensitive. If they were to leak out, it would surely attract much attention and cause unnecessary speculation.
Having seen off Qingyang Zi, Pei Xuanjing unfolded the letter again and carefully read it several times before decisively reducing it to ashes with the candle flame.
The information on it was just too important; it absolutely couldn’t be leaked, otherwise, it would cause an uproar.
After all this, Pei Xuanjing sank into thought again.
Undeniably, the information he had received today was too surprising and too shocking, almost making it impossible for him to calm down.
The True Martial Sect was actually an ally of the Shenxiao Sect.
With this answer, many of his prior questions were finally answered.
Thanks to the simulator, Pei Xuanjing could get a lot of special information. Although it wasn’t very detailed, it was enough to provide him with a definite direction and help him make judgments.
So with these two pieces of information combined, he could naturally gauge the truth of the information that Qingyang Zi had given him and whether he was being deceived.
As for that Longevity Plan, it made Pei Xuanjing marvel at the amount of intelligent people there were. That Feather Guest of Jinmen was indeed not a figure of mere reputation.
That enshrining method, isn’t it just Enthroning Gods?
The Dao of the Immortal in the Five Immortals and this method were almost similar.
Perhaps the Feather Guest of Jinmen used this method as the basis to derive the Longevity Plan.
“It seems that to find out more, I must go to the True Martial Sect. Perhaps I should even explore the blessed lands and secret places of the Shenxiao Sect to find more clues.” he thought.
After staying in the inn for a few days, and waiting until the city’S search and pursuit had gradually subsided, Pei Xuanjing, accompanied by Pang Hong, left once again.
His target this time was the former location of the Shenxiao Sect’s gate. He had a feeling that he should visit there. Maybe he could get some unexpected results.
Because Pang Hong was with him, Pei Xuanjing became more cautious. After all, while he himself wasn’t afraid of being tracked down, Pang Hong was easily targeted.
But what Pei Xuanjing didn’t expect was that shortly after leaving Hejian Mansion, someone came to find him..
