The Divine Dynasty on earth, the enfeoffment of the divine position.
According to this plan, the control of the imperial inheritance and the capture of the empire’s Qi Luck are mere pretenses.
The real goal is to utilize the mobilization capability of the empire, set up a grand array, stimulate the Essence Qi of heaven and earth, and only then can the gods be enfeoffed.
According to Pei Xuanjing’s understanding, this method should be a combination of the ways of Immortals and the Earth Immortal Path. He had no idea where the Shenxiao Sect got these clues from?
What surprised him most was that since they were able to obtain these secrets, why didn’t they know about the cultivation of the Spirit Realm, and instead wanted to ascend to immortality in one step without considering methodical progression.
Could it be that there are parts missing in these records, or that the clues they originally received were incomplete?
This was a doubt in his mind, but he did not speak of it to anyone for the time being.
The revelation of this truth undoubtedly angered Qingxu and Bai Xiaosheng. Even though they had been prepared for it, and knew that the Shenxiao Sect wouldn’t easily reveal the core secret of the Longevity Plan to them. But now, having this secret laid bare before them, they finally realized how deep the Shenxiao Sect’s deception had been.
“Hmph, I had some suspicions from the beginning, I didn’t expect it to become reality.” Bai Xiaosheng said leisurely, seemingly not as angry as Pei Xuanjing had anticipated.
“Speaking of these matters now is useless; the key is that we already know about them, what should we do moving forward.” Qingxu regained his calm and spoke to Bai Xiaosheng.
This undoubtedly disrupted his plan. If they had followed the method originally suggested by the Shenxiao Sect, using the empire’s Qi Luck to enfeoff the gods, then with the abilities of the True Martial Sect, they could have implemented this plan and enfeoffed a god to at least verify the veracity of this method.
But now, their plan had become elusive as a flower in the mirror, or the moon’s reflection on the water. Even with the great power of the True Martial Sect, they couldn’t achieve these things in a short period of time.
In the entire territory of the Great Ming, setting up such an unparalleled array requires immense human and material resources. It’s beyond what the True Martial Sect alone could bear. Even with the support of Bai Xiaosheng, it would be like trying to extinguish a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water, or a drop in the bucket.
“What to do? What can we do? Do you think we can accomplish this plan with our current strength? I believe this is nothing more than a fool’s dream. Those of the Shenxiao Sect, who were annihilated, deserved it. They were madmen.” Bai Xiaosheng spoke without anger but there was a touch of helplessness in his tone.
Even with his extensive knowledge and experience, he had never imagined anyone would come up with such a plan. It was a thousand times, even ten thousand times more difficult than their initial plan to control the imperial inheritance. It seemed like an almost impossible task.
While he prided himself on being in the know on everything under the sky and having solutions to any problem, he felt a sense of helplessness towards this particular issue, feeling utterly powerless.
This plan reminded him of a similar situation in his memories.
Pei Xuanjing stood silently on the side, not joining the conversation. He knew very well that compared to the other two, he was a newcomer. Regardless of the outcome, it didn’t have much to do with him. He viewed himself more as an observer in this matter.
However, clearly, Qingxu did not want him to stand by idly. He spoke to Pei Xuanjing, “May I ask what your opinion on this matter might be?”
Upon hearing his question, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but turn his gaze towards Pei Xuanjing.
Seeing their actions, Pei Xuanjing knew that he had to say something. After pondering for a moment, he slowly began: “Although this plan may sound absurd and like a fool’s dream, I feel that there might be some merits to it.”
“Oh?” The two looked at each other with bright eyes, waiting for Pei Xuanjing to continue.
Pei Xuanjing had no intention of keeping them in suspense and laid out what was on his mind, “Both of you, it might be difficult to set up such a formation within the entire territory of Great Ming, but what if we reduce the scope? What if we set it up within a province, a county, a town, or even a mountain?”
The two seemed to have an epiphany after his reminder and became enlightened.
Yes!
Given their strength, it would indeed be difficult to fully complete this plan. It was an almost impossible task.
But if they were to take a different approach and significantly reduce the scale of the plan, they might be able to accomplish the task.
“Taoist friend, deep wisdom!” Qingxu praised.
Bai Xiaosheng also had a smile on his face, praising, “Brother Pei is truly talented!”
Pei Xuanjing waved his hands repeatedly in denial, “You flatter me too much, gentlemen. I’m only seeing it from a different perspective. I believe that even if I hadn’t spoken out, your wisdom would have led you to the same conclusion soon enough. Besides, we are allies, and I’m just fulfilling my responsibilities by sharing my thoughts.”
“Hahaha, Taoist friend, you’re absolutely right,” Qingxu laughed.
Recalling his previous doubts, Pei Xuanjing turned to them and asked, “As far as I know, the Three Realms and Nine Grades of our current Martial Arts cultivation were referred to as the Mortal Realm a long time ago, and there is a major realm called the Spirit Realm between Immortality and Mortal Realm. Have either of you heard of this?”
Was the First-grade of Martial Arts that they have been cultivating merely the Mortal Realm? Was there a whole major realm, the Spirit Realm in betweenimmortality?
Upon hearing Pei Xuanjing’s words, Qingxu’s brow furrowed. He recalled that he had once read the notes left by the patriarch in his later years, which included some predictions made by the patriarch, and they seemed to mention this issue.
Initially, he was somewhat skeptical about the truth of this information, but after adding the Longevity Plan proposed by the Shenxiao Sect, he treated it as a speculation made by the patriarch.
Now that even Pei Xuanjing was speaking in these terms, he wasn’t quite sure anymore.
If this major realm truly existed, then was the Longevity Plan real or a hoax? Would it make one become an immortal in one step, or was it just for breaking through into the so-called Spirit Realm?
“Who did you hear this from, Taoist friend? Is it true or false?” He could not help but ask..
