Chapter 2145: Chapter 2090–2091: Great Ming’s Response, Entangled Situation (Part 2)
A world seemed to manifest behind Pei Xuanjing, covering heaven and earth, enveloping all directions, the firmament, the land, the void, surroundings, the universe, sparkling stars rotating to build the most perfect creation profound mystery, its fragrance pervading every corner.
Strands of anomalies wrapped around Pei Xuanjing, sometimes like a divine dragon roaming, sometimes like a divine elephant roaring. His expression showed no sorrow or joy, not a bit of change, only spiritual consciousness wandering the ten directions of heaven and earth, quietly observing all transformations, the trends of the world’s great force.
A sigh escaped from Pei Xuanjing’s lips, and yellow light fell from the sky, strands of merit light holy and solemn, the most sacred existence within heaven and earth.
He slowly opened his divine eyes, feeling a sense of lamentation in his heart. The trend was set; battles and slaughter were about to descend. At this moment, even as formidable as he was, he dared not claim to have enough confidence to crush all variables.
Taoist Monarch Xuantian, Sword Emperor, Blood Fiend Ancestor, Master Tianji, Witch God Sect Leader stood as peak figures, each brewing their own schemes. Though Fire Virtue Star Lord was defeated by Great Emperor Ziwei, he reclaimed his Divine Soul in the Chaos Void and defeated Li Fire Taoist, making a comeback. Now, even though his edge was hidden, once fierce like a tiger released, it would certainly shock the heavens, awe all directions, change the winds and clouds, reverse the scenario.
Rising stars like Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei also harbored ambitious intentions, seeking to leverage this opportunity to advance further.
Even within the Taoist School, figures like Ancestor Celestial Master, Mystic Capital Taoist Monarch, and Lord Divine Skill Miaoji continually laid their methods. Perhaps not for this great calamity, yet they wished to plant their pieces, waiting for the time to overturn the grand situation. Their prolonged lifespans and immortal longevity endowed them with ample time to set up their stage, and as long as they achieved ultimate victory, all their efforts would be worthwhile.
The ascension of the Divine Land World, such a calamity is daunting, but it also cannot truly bury top Daoist Monarchs like them; at most, it makes them lose some pieces, temporarily passive, unable to take the initiative.
“Jade Emperor is ambitious, even forged another God-beating Whip with several other Imperials, intending to seize victory in the War of Sealing Gods, aim for pinnacle Daoist Monarch, return to the origin, indeed not easy people. Such ambition and deep schemes, even if sacrificing all strong followers, as long as authority is seized successfully, they will henceforth have the capital to stand firmly, even in the lengthy years to come, obtain all they desire. After all, the advancement of the Divine Land World, even if not further progressed, the position of Six Imperials is extremely noble, surpassing even some veteran Daoist Monarchs, unrivaled by Divine Kings, Immortal Kings, Buddhist Kings, Demon Kings, no one disrespect! The Three Pure Ones have indeed significant intentions! Alas, within my plan, the Heavenly Court’s authority is still too substantial, requires oversight. The Divine Land World is too small, unable to accommodate so many strong figures in control!” His eyes flashed long-missed cold light, chilling murderous intent that pierced the soul, froze the bones, making it hard for one to bear.
Pei Xuanjing’s gaze scanned over the many Imperial Honors of the Heavenly Court, full of deep meaning, as if to uncover every plan, sever them one by one, making them lose all initiative.
“Do you think that I, remaking the Gods Sealing List, clashed with other veteran Daoist Monarchs, seeing an opportunity to exploit? This is somewhat fanciful. Even though I need to confront other veteran Daoist Monarchs, it’s not without help, perfectly capable of suppressing you all completely!” Pei Xuanjing looked at the veiled Tian Ji, couldn’t help but chuckle repeatedly. Their continuous actions also let him see some traces, though still somewhat vague, hard to truly comprehend, but for Pei Xuanjing, it’s enough to ascertain the thoughts of several Imperials, absolute strength allowing him to ignore all plots and schemes.
“Witch God Sect’s ambition is too great; even though I have an Ancestral Witch Venerable Position, ultimately an outsider, unable to obtain mastery of Witch God Sect, so following the Witch God Sect is the worst choice!” Pei Xuanjing gazed at the Witch God Sect, a mysterious smile curving his lips.
In the current situation, Witch God Sect was indeed the strongest. Though rejected and feared by various strong figures, it fully proved Witch God Sect’s recognized strength; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so.
Witch God Sect Leader was also well aware of this fact, otherwise, he wouldn’t have thrown out the Kongtong Seal to stir conflict, after all, it wasn’t a necessity, he could have used other methods.
But the news of Kongtong Seal being in Witch God Sect’s hands was unclear to figures like Jade Emperor; it was absolutely impossible for Human Race Five Emperors to be unaware. At the necessary time, they would definitely not allow Witch God Sect to keep it hidden.
This was Witch God Sect Leader’s cleverness; he urgently threw out Kongtong Seal to provoke strife, not wanting it to become a hot potato, preventing a passive situation.
Regardless of the circumstances, Witch God Sect, being many and powerful, possessed the greatest odds of winning, but Pei Xuanjing, even though acquiring the Ancestral Witch Venerable Position, knew clearly he was not truly part of the Witch God Sect; they were collaborators, there was no possibility for him to gain leadership.
Not only Witch God Sect Leader but the other Ancestral Witches would also reject his acquisition of leadership, after all, compared to Witch God Sect Leader, they were more wary of him.
“Demonic Way figures are restless too; after all, despite gaining many resources over millennia, they remain suppressed by the Taoist School, thus absolutely unreliable allies, having their own schemes!” Seeing as Pei Xuanjing’s thoughts turned, he immediately understood the Demonic Way’s current intentions.
In these millennia, though Demonic Way couldn’t expand widely on Divine Land Continent, due to their role in helping Taoist School suppress Buddhism School, they gained considerable benefits in realms of Heavenly Seas, vastly increasing power, beyond imagination.
If given the chance to lead, no one would willingly settle as the Second Brother under others. Previously, Demonic Way followed behind Taoist School due to insufficient strength; if not being the knife for Taoist School, it feared being suppressed together by Taoist School.
Now was different, with several Demon Monarchs achieving Taoist Monarch, Demonic Way’s strength surged, and in this chaotic great calamity, complex intertwining forces provided Demonic Way opportunities to fish in troubled waters; their nature destined restlessness.
“And then Buddhism School, truly the most powerful opponent hidden in shadow; though seemingly embarrassed by Heterodox Alliance’s counterattack, yet never truly exposing their cards, they require vigilance!” Pei Xuanjing would never forget an opponent, that is Buddhism School.
Although Buddhism School faced continuous suppression over millennia, their strength was undoubted, especially since the opening of Lingshan World, no one knew how many strong figures Buddhism School accumulated.
The last time Heterodox Alliance countered Buddhism School, was it not various forces trying to probe, glimpse Buddhism School’s real cards?
No one expected Buddhism School to retreat like a turtle, preferring to lose face than to prematurely expose their cards, which made them even more fearful.
No one believed Buddhism School lacked strength; if Buddhism School acted then, perhaps some Daoist Monarchs might believe Buddhism School was bluffing; however, their retreat only made all Daoist Monarchs believe Buddhism School harbored great plans, great ambition.
Everyone was well aware of Buddhism School’s nature; in such disadvantage, yet still holding back showed they had bigger schemes, willing to endure.
