Chapter 479: Chapter 427 Conflict is inevitable, fear that it will not end!

News of Pei Xuanjing returning again to Tiandu spread, and the siblings Xue Hanyi, who had always been outside the borders, and Mu Binghua of Heart Moon Lake, gathered to discuss the matter.

As strong martial artists who returned from the Sky Wasteland, even if they were no longer the strongest in their ancestral lands, they were still top-tier powers with the strength of the Spirit Realm Third Level.

Moreover, backed by an ancient power, they easily attracted ordinary martial artists without strong backgrounds to join them.

After all, while some major powers might not envy them, for the average martial artists, joining an ancient power is an excellent opportunity.

Their successful campaign against the Demon Race also positioned them to be given a fiefdom as temporary territory.

This was a satisfactory development for Xue Hanyi and his sister, as they had a responsibility to fulfill upon their return.

However, busy as they were, they could not help but speculate on Pei Xuanjing’s likely plans for the Divine Dynasty on earth upon hearing of his trip to Tiandu.

“A Divine Dynasty on earth — even the kingdoms and ancient countries of the Sky Wasteland have never dared to attempt this,” Xue Hanyi could not help but marvel, “Can they really succeed?”

Although they did not understand the mystery of why there could be no Divine Dynasty on earth in the Sky Wasteland as well as Mr. Wu did, they knew that there had never been a kingdom or ancient country in the Sky Wasteland that became a Divine Dynasty.

Therefore, they were very curious about this and did not want to miss it.

Given that part of their mission upon return involved gathering information about various powers in the ancestral land, they would not want to miss such a significant event now.

Moreover, their Da Xue ancient country was a dynasty itself. Witnessing this event and subsequently reporting it to their ruler would likely earn them rewards.

“Indeed, such a grand event cannot be missed,” Mu Binghua said with a smile.

She was also very curious about this event and wanted to witness it.

Although Heart Moon Lake did not have ambitious aspirations, they enjoyed making friends.

If the Great Ming Empire could truly transform into the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, it would be an excellent ally for Heart Moon Lake.

The group quickly reached a consensus and decided to put aside their current affairs to travel to Tiandu to witness this grand event.

Tiandu, the National Teacher Daoist Temple.

Pei Xuanjing had returned to the Taoist temple built by the emperor for him.

Even though he had not been present for several years, the Taoist temple had people stationed to clean it every day, never allowing dust to accumulate.

Upon Pei Xuanjing’s return, countless people sent invitations requesting a meeting. Pei Xuanjing had his men accept a few of them and rejected the rest.

That night, Bai Xiaosheng and Daoist Xuanming arrived together.

Mr. Wu, understanding that they had something to discuss, tactfully excused himself to leave the three men alone.

“Seems like you’ve gained much this time?” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

Clearly, he was aware of Mr. Wu’s journey to Shenxiao Mountain and concluded that the two men must have reached a deal now that Pei Xuanjing had accompanied Mr. Wu to Tiandu.

Pei Xuanjing nodded in response. “Indeed, Mr. Wu knows a great deal.”

He detailed all the secrets he had learned in his conversations with Mr. Wu to the other two men,

Bai Xiaosheng and Daoist Xuanming were taken aback by what they heard.

They never imagined that the Divine Dynasty on earth had so many secrets and that it had been quietly suppressed by various powerful forces.

“Fortunately, those people have not returned yet, or we wouldn’t be able to carry out this plan,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

Daoist Xuanming looked serious: “But, this implies that once those ancient powers return, they might conflict with us.”

“So what?” Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, his eyes chilling, “Not to mention that our plan has already entered the final stages and cannot be halted. Even if we were not doing this, would they stand by and let us occupy so many benefits when they return? Conflict is inevitable.”

Daoist Xuanming remained silent. Bai Xiaosheng was right; their plan had already advanced too far to stop. If they did stop, not only would the parties with whom they were cooperating be discontented, but so would many people within their own factions.

After all, although breaking through realms was more straightforward during the recovery of Heaven and Earth, not everyone could break through to the Spirit Realm. Especially those elders in their sects with limited lifespans. They were still hoping to prolong their lives through the Divine Dynasty plan.

Furthermore, they now held so many benefits in this world that once the ancient powers returned, conflicts over these interests with them would be inevitable.

Consequently, they had no choice in this matter. Regardless of how those powers saw it, they had to push forward with the plan.

Pei Xuanjing understood this fully, so he did not dwell on it. He waved his hand, and two booklets appeared in his hand, which he handed to the two men.

“Please take a look at this God Refining Skill,” he said.

Neither man refused, they understood enough about the cultivation world to realize the advantage they could have should they have a look at this method – even if they didn’t practice the God Refining Skill, it could still provide some insights.

Pei Xuanjing watched the pair engrossed in studying the manuals without any hurry, quietly waiting.

After a long while, both men looked up from the books, their eyes reflecting their amazement as they gazed at Pei Xuanjing.

Bai Xiaosheng tentatively asked, “Are you planning to give this manual to the Emperor?”

Daoist Xuanming also stared at Pei Xuanjing intently, waiting for his answer.

Both men, being among the strongest martial artists in the world, had seen countless martial arts techniques. They could naturally assess the merit of any technique.

More so because they had previously practiced the cultivation manual that Pei Xuanjing had organized about Spirit Refining and Gathering of the Divine Soul – they had strengthened their spirits. Although they had not yet gathered a Divine Soul, they understood a great deal about Spirit Refining.

This Incense Fire God Refining Skill was indeed a top-tier skill for refining spirits, and of course, with their intelligence, they realized that the most suitable person to practice this technique would be the emperor.

“Yes!” Pei Xuanjing confirmed.

This copy of the manual was a version that he had copied from the Incense Fire God Refining Skill, with some of his understanding and knowledge added into it.

“Aren’t you afraid of creating a tiger that could swallow you up?” Bai Xiaosheng asked gravely.

As the head of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, who had been frequenting the Imperial City for a long time, he was aware of the capabilities of the Emperor of the Great Ming Empire.

This Great Ming Emperor had been on the throne for over a decade, but his displayed talent was unarguably impressive.
