Chapter 1004: Chapters 952-953 The Creation God’s Cauldron Crafting the Enthroning Gods List_2
Having previous experience of constructing the Divine Kingdom when he mapped the territories of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, Pei Xuanjing found building a new set of ley lines for Four Rivers and Eight Streams and Three Mountains and Five Peaks from their origins to be a piece of cake.
Subsequently, numerous True Immortals handed over the star origins they had plundered and collected to Pei Xuanjing, who then cast them one by one into The Creation God’s Cauldron. These star origins, as if having intelligence, arranged themselves according to certain rules, creating a miniature expanse of starry sky.
Boom, boom, boom…
The origins of Four Rivers and Eight Streams, Three Mountains and Five Peaks, sun, moon, stars, wind, thunder, water, and fire reacted violently within The Creation God’s Cauldron, beginning to vibrate.
“I ask you all to join hands and use your magical power to refine these origins,” Pei Xuanjing said to the assembly of True Immortals.
“Good!”
“Indeed, so it should be!”
“Bang!”
“Seal!”
“Suppress!”
…
At this moment, the True Immortals did not hesitate at all, each infusing their magical power into The Creation God’s Cauldron, combing and refining the origins within, continuously tempering them.
“Hmm?”
As the master of The Creation God’s Cauldron, Pei Xuanjing was very aware of any changes that occurred within it. He noticed that, after these True Immortals infused their magical power, The Creation God’s Cauldron also began to transform.
What was originally a Semi-Immortal Artifact, The Creation God’s Cauldron, was unexpectedly starting its metamorphosis toward an Immortal Artifact.
This Semi-Immortal Artifact, The Creation God’s Cauldron, was transforming into an Immortal Artifact, though slowly, Pei Xuanjing could still feel it.
Even Pei Xuanjing, a True Immortal himself, was astounded by such a sign.
He knew that having successfully forged the Semi-Immortal Artifact, The Creation God’s Cauldron, had already been an unexpected joy, a case of the willow tree planting itself.
Yet, even as it had become a Semi-Immortal Artifact, Pei Xuanjing had never considered that it could be promoted to a true Immortal Artifact in a short time.
After all, across the century and more, so many True Immortals had expended great effort yet failed to transform their Divine weapon treasures into Immortal Artifacts, indicating the extreme difficulty of such a transformation.
Therefore, Pei Xuanjing did not currently wish to spend time and resources on this, and aside from the fact that he did not rely on Divine weapon treasures, even if he needed to nurture a transformed Immortal Artifact, either the Sanbao Jade Ruyi or the Six-Color Sword would be better choices. Why should he choose The Creation God’s Cauldron?
Yet, Pei Xuanjing had never imagined that while forging the Gods Sealing List and having these True Immortals work together to refine origins with their magical power, they would incidentally nourish The Creation God’s Cauldron once more, enabling it to slowly evolve.
“Could this opportunity be used to promote it to an Immortal Artifact?” This thought crossed Pei Xuanjing’s heart, but he dismissed it instantly, “It’s simply impossible; all these True Immortals are not fools. Why would they futilely make an enemy and spoil the cooperation?”
Indeed, if these True Immortals were to join forces, they could definitely transform The Creation God’s Cauldron into an Immortal Artifact, the inevitable outcome.
However, for the many True Immortals, they did not wish to see such a result. They were already wary of the fearsomely powerful Pei Xuanjing, and should this Shenxiao True Monarch gain control of an Immortal Artifact, the balance they had maintained would be irrevocably broken.
That was also the scenario Pei Xuanjing did not wish to see. As a True Immortal on both the Dao of Spirit Immortals and Path of Human Immortals, Pei Xuanjing’s power was already able to suppress any other True Immortal. For him, possessing an Immortal Artifact made little difference.
One might say, promoting The Creation God’s Cauldron to an Immortal Artifact would merely be the icing on the cake of his power, but it would disrupt the current equilibrium and the excellent cooperative situation.
Pei Xuanjing abandoned the idea and focused on pouring his magical power into The Creation God’s Cauldron, accelerating the refinement of the origins within.
As time passed by, the True Immortals relentlessly channeled their magical power into it, weaving the origins together, attempting to combine and organize them.
“Right at this moment!”
Pei Xuanjing’s eyes flashed with divine light, and a ray of light flickered out of his sleeve. It was none other than the deputy scroll of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll granted to the Great Ming Divine Dynasty after its elevation.
“A superior Golden Book and Jade Scroll!”
“The rumors are indeed true, that the Golden Book and Jade Scroll bestowed to the Great Ming Divine Dynasty after its promotion are of superior quality, not average.”
“This one is truly masterful at keeping secrets!”
“The emperor of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, Zhu Houji, is also quite enduring. This seat begins to doubt whether it was right to agree to let him take the position of the Central Jade Emperor in the first place.”
…
Not a single one of the True Immortals present was to be trifled with; their discernment was incredibly sharp, and they would never misjudge.
The Golden Book and Jade Scrolls awarded after the Divine Dynasty’s promotion came in three grades: superior, average, and inferior. The Great Ming Divine Dynasty had in fact received the superior grade, but to avoid provoking jealousy, it had always claimed to have the average version.
Over the years, both Pei Xuanjing, who held the deputy scroll, and Zhu Houji, who held the main scroll, refrained from showing the Golden Book and Jade Scroll in public.
Thus, even though many powerhouses speculated that the dynasty’s Golden Book and Jade Scroll were superior, it remained mere conjecture without concrete evidence.
However, now that Pei Xuanjing had produced the deputy scroll of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, all secrets were revealed to the eyes of the many True Immortals, confirming their initial suspicions and the rumors.
The difference between the average and superior Golden Book and Jade Scroll was immense; the superior version could enshrine a greater number of top divine positions and provide a completely different level of strength augmentation to the Lord of the Divine Dynasty.
Reflecting on the power displayed by the Great Ming Divine Dynasty over the years, as well as that by its Lord Zhu Houji, they could understand the many years of endurance on his part.
Initially, when they allowed Zhu Houji to aspire to the seat of the Central Jade Emperor, it was due to their underestimation or the belief that he would not disrupt the overall situation.
But now that they had realized Zhu Houji was not the person they presumed to understand, naturally, the True Immortals had some different thoughts in their hearts.
At this moment, they finally understood why Shenxiao True Monarch was so confident about elevating the Great Ming Divine Dynasty to Heavenly Court.
“Hehe!” Pei Xuanjing chuckled, completely indifferent to their words.
The matter already decided, even if the True Immortals now realized they had overlooked something, they wouldn’t go back on their word, if nothing else, for the sake of their own pride.
In the future, of course, they would take measures to hinder Zhu Houji, making things difficult for him, but they wouldn’t personally interfere.
However, this was all to be expected in the eyes of Pei Xuanjing, and it was a completely reasonable course of action.
The position of the Central Jade Emperor was certainly not an easy one to hold. Pei Xuanjing had helped Zhu Houji get the opportunity out of the affection shared between master and disciple.
Yet, Zhu Houji would inevitably need to face some trials, essential experiences for his true growth, so he could firmly hold that position in the future.
If he could not even overcome some tribulations and tests now, then even if he reluctantly assumed the position of the Central Jade Emperor after the completion of the Godsealing Plan, he would be but a puppet, never truly able to command Heavenly Court.
To Pei Xuanjing, such an outcome was inconsequential, but to the proud Zhu Houji, it would likely be unacceptable.
Pei Xuanjing ignored what the True Immortals were saying and tossed the Golden Book and Jade Scroll into The Creation God’s Cauldron, followed by a portion of the stored Creation Profound Mystery and some Divine Material.
The Gods Sealing List, such a heaven-defying object was not easy to craft. The roots of nature—mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and stars—all ethereal and elusive, also required a medium to be refined into Divine Positions. However, ordinary Divine Material, even scarce Divine Gold, could not withstand this.
But the deputy scroll of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, which itself was a God Object descended from Heaven and Earth favoring the imperial elevation to Divine Dynasty, teeming with dense Qi Luck and the Will of Heaven and Earth, and linked to the Divine Dynasty Luck, made it the most suitable choice.
