Chapter 500: Chapter 448: Top-tier Golden Book and Jade Scroll? And two of them!
“It’s the replica. I wonder why it fell into my hands,” a hint of surprise flashed in Pei Xuanjing’s deep eyes.
In the description given by the Life Simulator, he didn’t care about the ability to bestow Gods’ Enfeoffment. That was something he already knew. However, the latter part, about merging divine items of Heaven and Earth, would result in a mysterious transformation. He was extremely curious about what kind of divine items could be incorporated and what kind of change would happen.
“As Mr. Wu said, the rumored Golden Book and Jade Scroll relate to the mystery of Becoming Immortal. If it could be transformed into the legendary Gods Sealing List, it could promote the Divine Dynasty to the Heavenly Court and bestow the gods with immortality,” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.
Leaving these things aside for now, according to the simulator’s statement, the replica of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll contains as many as five million Taoyun. If fully refined, it would be enough to support a round of life simulation.
A total of four people were on the altar. The Golden Book and Jade Scroll turned into two parts, falling into the hands of Pei Xuanjing and Zhu Houji, leaving Taoist Qingxu and Mr. Wu empty-handed.
Looking at the two individuals who had closed their eyes and fallen into silence, obviously having gained some insights, Taoist Qingxu didn’t want to disturb them. He turned to Mr. Wu and asked, “The Golden Book and Jade Scroll have split into two volumes. Sir, do you know why this happened?”
In the information they received, they had some understanding of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, knowing that they were divine items bestowed by Heaven and Earth, also serving as the highest authority for the master of the Divine Dynasty.
According to records, there should only be one copy of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, held by the master of the Divine Dynasty, and it served as the power for him to command the world.
This anomaly surprised everyone, and they had no idea why this had happened.
Mr. Wu sighed, “Originally, I thought this kind of thing was just a rumor, but I didn’t expect to see it happening today.”
“Originally, there should indeed only be one copy of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll bestowed by Heaven and Earth when the Divine Dynasty ascended. However, there was a rumor that if someone made a great contribution during the ascension of the Divine Dynasty, a replica would be split off for that person when Heaven and Earth bestowed the Golden Book and Jade Scroll.”
As for this piece of news, it had been mentioned in the records of the Witch Deity Teaching, and one of its predecessors had once held this Golden Book and Jade Scroll.
Mr. Wu had initially dismissed this record, thinking it was nothing more than an exaggeration. He believed that it was a story fabricated by the descendants of the Witch Deity Teaching to glorify their ancestors.
He never expected that what was in the rumor would indeed occur before his eyes.
“I see.” Taoist Qingxu nodded as if he suddenly understood.
Seeing the expression on his face, Mr. Wu added, “It is said that this replica bestowed by Heaven is different from the one created by the master of the Divine Dynasty. It is commanded by Heaven, and apart from a few core positions that cannot be bestowed, it can master most features of the main volume.”
However, Mr. Wu was also aware that although Pei Xuanjing was known as the national master, he actually did not participate in the affairs of the imperial court and did not care about his own power.
In his actions, he promoted the Divine Dynasty Plan, killed Howling Moon Gray Wolf outside the border, and just now he killed Ying Zhong who intended to steal the Golden Book and Jade Scroll. These merits caught the attention of Heaven and Earth, hence the rich rewards.
“Hmm?” A glint of joy emerged in Taoist Qingxu’s eyes.
Their original apprehension towards the Great Ming court lay here. After all, once the Divine Dynasty ascended and the emperor obtained the Golden Book and Jade Roll, his power was bound to rise. Whether the two sides’ smooth cooperation would be broken was yet unknown.
That’s why Bai Xiaosheng initially was not willing to fully hand over the Incense Fire God Refining Skill to the emperor, to avoid giving rise to a situation where the tail wags the dog. It was only after Pei Xuanjing persistently promoted the idea that they agreed.
Just now, Pei Xuanjing’s action undoubtedly demonstrated his strength. Even after the Divine Dynasty ascends, the other side still has the mighty power that can suppress the world, so they don’t need to worry.
But now that the Golden Book and Jade Scroll had split into two parts and fallen into Pei Xuanjing’s hands, that gave Taoist Qingxu a pleasant surprise.
If the Golden Book and Jade Scroll could be held in his hands, they could be used as a means of checks and balances to balance both parties.
Mr. Wu chuckled to himself and said nothing more.
He could also guess the other’s thoughts, and what he said was meant to show his goodwill.
While the two were talking, Pei Xuanjing and Zhu Houji had already awakened.
Pei Xuanjing looked calm and hadn’t opened his mouth when he heard Zhu Houji say, “Since it’s a gift from Heaven, we can let Master Pei hold onto this replica. What do you think?”
Although Zhu Houji had been immersed in the Golden Book and Jade Scroll just now, he had heard every word the other two had said, and understood the ins and outs, knowing that it was bestowed by Heaven and Earth.
Let alone whether he could retrieve it from Pei Xuanjing, even if Pei Xuanjing was willing to give it back to him, it was likely that the Taoist School, or the other alliances, wouldn’t want him to hold both copies of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll.
So, he took the initiative to mention it to avoid disagreement on this matter. After all, the main volume in his hands is much stronger than the replica and can still serve as a means of restraint.
“If that’s the case, then I will humbly accept it.” Pei Xuanjing didn’t refuse and accepted directly.
If the Golden Book and Jade Scroll were only one volume, then Pei Xuanjing would definitely not want to fight for it. He would only borrow it for research and eventually return it to Zhu Houji. After all, the Golden Book and Jade Scroll can only exert the greatest effect in the hands of the master of the Divine Dynasty.
But now, since he also had a replica, he certainly wouldn’t give it away. After all, apart from refining the five million Taoyun, he found many aspects of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll that were worth researching.
Everything returned to tranquility. This grand ceremony of Heaven and Earth praising, and the ascension of the Divine Dynasty finally came to an end.
Despite some twists and turns, they achieved their goal and promoted the Great Ming Empire to a rarely seen divine dynasty on Earth over thousands of years, which in the future can be referred to as the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.
After discussing with each other on the altar, in order to avoid attracting too many targets and preventing the return of the ancient forces in the Sky Wasteland, they hid some details and announced that the Golden Book and Jade Scroll was only at a medium level, which lowered its rank by one level.
After all, the implications of a medium and high level Golden Book and Jade Scrolls were totally different. Revealing it now without sufficient power would definitely make them targets and attract the covetous gazes of many powerful beings and forces.
However, even a medium-grade Golden Book and Jade Scroll excited countless people when they heard the news.
After all, they were aware of the significance of a medium-grade Golden Book and Jade Scroll. As long as the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi continues to rise, the combat power that the Great Ming Divine Dynasty can bestow will reach the ultimate Spirit Realm Eightfold, which can be considered a top-level force in the Sky Wasteland.
For the Great Ming to reach this point within six hundred years shocked countless people.
