Chapter 1359 -1306-1307 Pei Xuanjing’s Knocking_2
Not to mention that Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life was their superior, the mere fact of his power meant they needed to comply unconditionally.
“Understood, the Guiding Altar must be built within a month.” Earth Virtue Star Lord nodded emphatically, not daring to hesitate in the slightest.
After all, none of the strong beings who had reached this point were foolish. His earlier complaints were actually just an instinctive reaction to his interests being compromised, a case of speaking rashly in haste. Realizing this, he naturally dared not say anything more.
The various Star Lords finalized their duties and turned to leave, immediately urging their subordinates to spring into action.
Indeed, truth be told, it was indeed a tight schedule to finish building the altar in one month.
“Emperor Monarch!” Fate Controller Star Lord and Fire Virtue Star Lord once again came to Myriad Laws Mountain.
“Everything has been arranged, the Guiding Altar will definitely be constructed within a month,” swore Fire Virtue Star Lord to Pei Xuanjing.
“Mm,” Pei Xuanjing nodded, then asked, “Is there any dissatisfaction among them? Do they think that this emperor is being too harsh?”
“No, no one complained; it is all part of our duties,” Fire Virtue Star Lord and Fate Controller Star Lord exchanged glances and shook their heads in denial.
The two did not mention Earth Virtue Star Lord’s complaints, nor the conflict between Wood Virtue Star Lord and Earth Virtue Star Lord, as if none of it had ever happened.
There was no need to bring it up; although mentioning it would result in punishment for Earth Virtue Star Lord, it wasn’t really a good thing for the rest of them either.
“That’s good to hear,” Pei Xuanjing nodded in satisfaction, then leisurely added, “But even if there are grievances, they must be suppressed. The time I have given you this time is long enough. Should delays continue, I am afraid those in the Heavenly Court will become dissatisfied. You must not put this emperor in a difficult position!”
Indeed, the reason Pei Xuanjing had brought up these matters was to give these individuals a warning.
As for their actions and behaviors, Pei Xuanjing saw everything, but he was completely tolerant and did not demand that they stop.
Pei Xuanjing could tolerate their sharing of interests, after all, to put it bluntly, the purpose of their collective arrival in this world was for these interests.
For the Heavenly Court, for the development of the Great Ming World, these were the overarching priorities, but taking such risks to participate in these matters was also for their own interests; the two were not contradictory.
However, their delays were becoming too long; continuing this way might not affect upcoming plans, but it would indeed attract dissatisfaction from the Heavenly Court.
After all, when the strong ones from the Heavenly Court came to this world, part of their purpose was also to seek fortuitous opportunities for themselves; if these individuals monopolized all the simple and easy benefits, what guarantee would there be for the interests of those who came after?
As the promoter of the Heavenly Court’s expansion plan and the leader of this vanguard, Pei Xuanjing needed to ensure not just the interests of one side, but also to balance the interests of both, without being overly biased.
After all, as the vanguard, it was understandable to occupy a part of the opportunistic fortune, but to take everything, leaving nothing behind, that was a bit too much.
“We understand and will definitely not make things difficult for the Emperor Monarch!” Fire Virtue Star Lord and others repeatedly responded.
Pei Xuanjing nodded in satisfaction, and did not continue to probe into this matter, effectively drawing a line under the discussion.
Some things had been said, and if there were still those who fail to appreciate this, then they must inevitably pay a sufficient price in the future, which would be of their own doing–no one else to blame.
Moving past this issue, Pei Xuanjing then said to Fate Controller Star Lord, “After the Guiding Altar is finished, it will be overseen by you and Wood Virtue Star Lord. I will protect you.”
“Thank you, Emperor Monarch. We will certainly exert our utmost efforts, making no mistakes whatsoever,” Fate Controller Star Lord replied with a slight smile.
This summoning of many powerful beings was also considered quite a feat, even worth noting for Fate Controller Star Lord.
Pei Xuanjing then turned to Fire Virtue Star Lord and said, “Send a message to Great White Star Lord and Star Lord Due, they can also start to make their moves.”
“Understood!” A smile appeared on Fire Virtue Star Lord’s face, his eyes brimming with wild ambition.
One must know that although he had previously received Emperor Monarch’s permission to consolidate the Authority of Slaughter, the refinement of the Fire Spirit Bead had also delayed much time, causing this matter to come to a halt.
If he waited for the summoning of many powerful beings, it would not be easy for him to involve himself in the matter of the Authority of Slaughter.
Although this descent into this world had brought him the exotic treasure, the Fire Spirit Bead, and under Emperor Monarch’s aid forged a divine artifact, laying the groundwork for his future path, he wouldn’t mind obtaining more.
Hearing Emperor Monarch’s instructions now, Fire Virtue Star Lord was naturally overjoyed, as once he began to act, it meant he had seized the initiative. Even if others who came later wished to share in the spoils, they would not be able to surpass him.
After arranging these matters, Pei Xuanjing sat alone on Myriad Laws Mountain, pondering the Heavenly Path of this realm.
“Saint Position!” Pei Xuanjing looked up at the sky, muttering to himself.
Since coming to this realm, apart from a sparring trial with Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder not long ago, Pei Xuanjing had never made a move himself, delegating all matters to other Star Lords, focusing more of his own energy on studying the Heavenly Path of this realm.
One must know that after opening the Nether Yin Department, Pei Xuanjing had entertained the thought of consolidating the Saint Position to uphold the Heavenly Path.
However, even though this thought had arisen, exactly how to go about it remained a rough idea without a concrete plan.
Therefore, whether it was his true body, Longevity Taoist Monarch, remaining in the Great Ming World, or his Incarnation, Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life descending into this realm, both continually strategized and deliberated over this matter.
It must be said, where there is shadow, there is light; every advantage has its disadvantage.
Although this realm was not as complete as the Great Ming World, deficiencies in heaven and earth affected the cultivation of the powerful.
But compared to the complete and flawless Will of the Heaven and Earth in the Great Ming World, which even the profoundly cultivated Longevity Taoist Monarch could not find a means to handle, the deficiencies of this realm had, through continual contemplation by Pei Xuanjing’s Divine Tao Incarnation, revealed some possibilities.
“Perhaps consolidating the Saint Position could start with this realm!” Pei Xuanjing’s gaze was deep, his expression neither sad nor happy.
The cultivation of Pei Xuanjing on Myriad Laws Mountain was unfathomable, even to the equally True Immortal Fire Virtue Star Lord who could not discern it clearly. After receiving Pei Xuanjing’s promise, although he still needed to remain within the heavenly gate, he could also start to take action with the help of Great White Star Lord and Star Lord Due.
“Fire Virtue Star Lord’s message has come. Emperor Monarch has granted permission, telling us we can start to act. After the arrival of the many powerful beings from the Heavenly Court, we shall stir up an uprising!” Great White Star Lord expressed joy upon receiving the news, saying to Star Lord Due.
He had been here so long, missing out on the happenings at the heavenly gate. Although he had obtained some resources, they were nothing compared to the open plunder at the heavenly gate.
But why had he remained here if not to stir up slaughter and consolidate the Authority of Slaughter?
For a powerful being like him, those resources were indeed important, but they could never compare to the opportunity of certifying as a True Immortal. In the face of certifying, all other things could be cast aside, utterly negligible.
Now finally receiving news, Emperor Monarch’s decree, how could this be anything but exhilarating?
“Hahaha, today is finally the day for this lord to emerge. I shall make Star Lord Due’s name renowned throughout heaven and earth!” Star Lord Due was also full of excitement.
He knew well the benefits of staying at the heavenly gate, yet he came here without hesitation, wasn’t it just for this chance to certify?
