BXBX NOVEL Chapter 476: 424
Pei Xuanjing rubbed the jade symbol in his hand, his mind racing with countless thoughts.
The Heavenly Divine Dynasty was originally a collective path, leveraging its power to enfeoff the Gods, controlling the authority, with a part of the immense power of these enfeoffed Gods originating from the authority they wield, and another part derived from the faith and incense worship of the subjects of the Divine Dynasty.
Pei Xuanjing’s insurgence of the Divine Dynasty plan was precisely to allow himself to cultivate the faith of the Divine Dynasty after its establishment. After all, even with the power of the Divine Dynasty, even if there were no methods of Refining Spirit, he could forcibly catalyze the metamorphosis of his own Yin Spirit.
“When I need the techniques to refine the spirit, the method is delivered right to me, and just so happens to be the most suitable method, the Incense Fire God Refining Path. If this is a coincidence, I don’t think even you would believe it.” Pei Xuanjing muttered to himself.
It was too much of a coincidence, as if he had met a pillow in his sleep. The skill given by the other party was the most suitable and most aligned with his current needs.
“The Incense Faith – this is absolutely not an ordinary thing. According to the conjecture derived by the creator of this technique, if one can truly walk this path to the end, perhaps one can truly achieve Becoming Immortal.” Pei Xuanjing recalled some of the words left by the creator of this technique in his mind.
If this was shown to others, they might sneer, feeling that the creator was blowing his own trumpet, making boastful claims.
After all, over the years, countless strong men have opened up countless skills, even those top-tier skills that lead directly to the Nine Realms of Spirit created by the strongest individuals, have not been able to achieve Becoming Immortal. Otherwise, there would not have been no one becoming Immortal over the years.
Then how could a mere technique that has only been extrapolated to reach the Spirit Realm Sixth Level, which cannot even reach the pinnacle power of the Nine Realms of Spirit, claim itself to be capable of Becoming Immortal? Such a claim is absurd.
However, Pei Xuanjing would not think so.
Because according to some clues speculated and guessed by Pei Xuanjing, there should be five types of True Immortals: Heaven, Earth, Human, God, and Ghost.
And this Incense Fire God Refining Skill should belong to the path of God Immortal.
God Immortals, controlling the Heavenly Authority, acting in place of the Heavens, coexisting with Heaven and Earth. As the divine entities took on thousands of manifestations, receiving incense worship, the continuous flowing incense, unceasing faith, they might indeed achieve longevity in the world, not necessarily unable to achieve undying longevity.
So, in Pei Xuanjing’s view, the strong man who created the Incense Fire God Refining Skill might not be on the wrong path. If he truly reaches the Great Completion Realm, he might have a chance of success.
“However, the incense is poisonous. If one truly cultivates this technique, in the future if one cannot sever the invasive effect of Incense Faith, one might be deeply mired and unable to extricate oneself, ultimately losing oneself.” A trace of cold color flashed in Pei Xuanjing’s eyes.
Every advantage has its disadvantage. This Incense Fire God Refining Method leads to Becoming Immortal, but it will not be easy.
According to this technique, one needs to differentiate the spiritual consciousness, manifest in thousands of forms to gather the Power of Incense Fire to strengthen oneself. But each sentient being has its own mind. If one cultivates using Incense Faith, it will inevitably affect the purity of one’s Divine Soul. If one cannot remove these miscellaneous thoughts, one will be affected and lose oneself.
“With such a huge interest at stake, don’t the royal family, the ministers in Court, and the King and Lords want to renege?”
In the Military City Lord’s Mansion, Wang Bo’an, the commander of this battle, said to his good friend Gu Ji, the special envoy sent by the Court.
Such a large benefit is right in front of them, and they are allowing the world’s forces and ordinary Martial Artists to divide it up. Are the big figures in the Court really willing to do so?
“Ha ha, Bo’an, you’re really underestimating the Courtiers!” Gu Ji raised his brow upon hearing this and said solemnly.
However, seeing Wang Bo’an’s serious expression, Gu Ji stopped joking and said with a bitter face, “Renege? How could they not have thought about it?”
Gu Ji dismissed the question contemptuously after a look around ensuring nobody was around. “You’re not new to being an official, Bo’an. How could you not know what they think?”
In Gu Ji’s view, to Wang Bo’an, this was no more than stating the obvious, none of those people could probably resist such a thought of reneging.
From the moment of receiving the victorious report, everyone was joyous. This was something to be commemorated ever since ancient times. The Officials in Court would all be mentioned in history because of this achievement.
Moreover, the vast territory of the grasslands signified the size of the interests involved. Some shortsighted individuals in the Court were immediately lured by the benefits and tempted to renege.
They seemed to regret their previous agreements now that they had become reality, and were unwilling to grant out more than half of the land.
What disappointed Gu Ji most was that these views gained a lot of approval and support.
“Fools! I never expected that there would be so many fools in the Court. I’m ashamed to mix with them.” Gu Ji complained to Wang Bo’an, expressing his dissatisfaction.
These fools, do they think the powerful Great Ming Court can suppress all under heaven like it used to be? Were they muddleheaded by the benefits, forgetting who was the main instigator behind this event?
It was Pei Xuanjing who caused the royal family of Great Ming to lose face, divested of their power, and had to cooperate forcibly.
Even if Pei Xuanjing seemed very amiable when dealing with him, Gu Ji wouldn’t think that Pei Xuanjing was a merciful person.
Gu Ji believed that due to his relationship with Pei Xuanjing, he knew how dreadful it would be if Pei Xuanjing got angry, and this was something those fools couldn’t bear.
In addition, if they went back on their word, they would offend not only Pei Xuanjing, but also all major forces in the world, the soldiers who fought bravely, and the ordinary Martial Artists.
Frankly speaking, should a man of ambition make a cry and the army marches in once the public sentiment is aroused, chaos in the world might happen.
Wang Bo’an’s face was grave; even though he had suspected it, he didn’t expect the Court to be in such a chaotic state.
He was very clear about the crucial nature of the current situation. Though it seems prosperous on the surface, it is like oil tempered with fire underneath, capable of causing tremendous damage in an instant.
Moreover, with the spread of Martial Classics, there are more and more Martial Artists and stronger individuals. If real chaos occurs, even if he has a well-disciplined and battle-hardened million soldiers, it would hardly prevent the imminent collapse of Great Ming.
Also, the most eager to share the achievement and interest are not only the major forces and Martial Artists, but also the millions of elite soldiers who fought to death. They fought because they were enticed by the promise of merit and fortune.
