Chapter 515: Chapter 463: Anticipated Divine Position, Temple Sacrifice

The vastness of heaven and earth is hard to grasp, unless one has an outstanding strength, the position of heaven and earth may clash with their own Great Tao during the evolutionary process. Either they abandon their own Great Tao, or they abandon the authority they hold.

Even with Pei Xuanjing’s current strength, he is also extremely cautious about this impact.

Although the Divine Position of the Jade Purity True Monarch that Pei Xuanjing has now condensed is a good fit for his Taoist foundation, it is still not perfect.

Pei Xuanjing’s current path should be based on the Shenxiao Heaven’s Intention, practicing both the Refining Essence and Refining Spirit methods. However, the power he has now only includes that of Thunder, which is drastically different from his ideal goal.

The honor of the Jade Purity True Monarch should be the Shenxiao Yuzhen King the Emperor of Longevity, the Holy Emperor of Sky, and the Source of All Gods’ Law. All the power of the gods comes from him.

His authority shouldn’t just be composed of thunder, it should also include commanding all spirits, controlling the weather of the Four Seasons, summoning wind and rain, supervising Thunder and Lightning Gods and Demons, as well as controlling the central mechanism of the world’s cause and effect.

However, with the current strength of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, the Golden Book and Jade Scroll cannot possibly condense such power. In Pei Xuanjing’s view, even if the Great Ming Divine Dynasty reaches its peak and restores the majesty that the Golden Book and Jade Scroll should have, it is still impossible to seal a Divine Position with such power.

“If one truly wants to seal a position for the ‘Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life’, it is likely necessary for the Great Ming Divine Dynasty to transform the Golden Book and Jade Scroll into the Gods Sealing List and truly become the Heavenly Court that rules all heavens and spans through countless space-times, to foster such an existence,” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.

Commanding all spirits, controlling the weather of the Four Seasons, summoning wind and rain, supervising Thunder and Lightning Gods and Demons, and controlling the central mechanism of the world’s cause and effect.

Only a being that surpasses the Fairy Gods can hold such power. In Pei Xuanjing’s view, unless a position supported by the Heavenly Court is created, it is absolutely impossible.

Of course, while being cautious, one cannot let caution hinder action. After all, given the current situation, where the cost of simulations is becoming increasingly high, the key question for Pei Xuanjing is how to quickly enhance his own strength to face the many experts of the Sky Wasteland in the future.

So he came up with a solution, which was how to use the current Divine Position to enhance his strength without being affected by the Heaven and Earth Karma, or at least, minimize its impact.

“In the legends of my past life, gods would refine their own sacred artifacts, symbolizing their own authority. If I could refine a sacred artifact of my own and incorporate the Heaven and Earth Karma into it, I could learn and cultivate using the Heaven and Earth Karma, yet minimize the impact,” Pei Xuanjing calculated inwardly.

The sacred artifact is different from the Divine Weapon. It can be a weapon, a treasure, and represent various things, but it’s more often the symbol of authority.

Although Pei Xuanjing thought of this solution, he didn’t start refining it because he didn’t have the materials to begin with.

Even with the best plan, without adequate resources, it will be in vain. Even if Pei Xuanjing thought of a solution, he couldn’t begin to implement it.

After all, not just any ordinary object could bear the authority of Heaven and Earth Karma, especially when he harbored a tremendous ambition of refining a growing sacred artifact, which required even more stringent materials.

“I just hope that Bai Xiaosheng can give me some good news.”

Ever since Pei Xuanjing found out that the inherent Divine Material, Purple Lightning Divine Gold, could provide him with Taoyun, he asked Bai Xiaosheng to look for some extraordinary minerals for him. Many people from the Taoist School and Shenxiao Sect have also laboriously worked for this cause, but so far there has been no news.

Imperial City, Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Houji, the ruler of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, was examining the reports in his hands and annotating decisions on the matters that the elders from the Cabinet could not make on their own.

“Your Majesty, Minister Yan requests an audience.” After receiving the news from an internal servant, Eunuch Huang Jin from the Office of Imperial Sacrifices took a few small steps towards Zhu Houji and spoke softly.

“Hm?” Zhu Houji continued to annotate the report in his hand without raising his head, “Summon him in.”

“Summon the Minister of the Ministry of Rites to the Palace.” Huang Jin’s sharp yet unoffending voice echoed.

Yan Weizhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, straightened his official uniform outside the palace, walked into the hall, and knelt down to salute in front of the emperor:

“I, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Weizhong, pay respects to His Highness, the Feixuan Emperor, Supreme Sovereign of Lingxiao and Uprising Sun, the Emperor of Eternity.”

This was the formal title of Zhu Houji, the Emperor of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, also known as his full Divine Position.

No one knew how strong Zhu Houji was at this particular moment, when he was seated in the heart of Tiandu, the place with the strongest Divine Dynasty Luck of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, possessing an extremely high-quality Divine Position, and holding the Golden Book and Jade Scroll.

Yan Weizhong flattered the Emperor with his address, and it seemed that Zhu Houji clearly enjoyed it.

He put down the report and a smile appeared on his face: “Get up, my beloved minister, please take a seat.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

When Yan Weizhong stood up, a guard naturally placed a chair behind him.

But being as cautious as Yan Weizhong, he carefully only sat down halfway, prepared to stand at any moment.

“What brings you here today, my beloved minister?” Zhu Houji asked.

At present, the newly-established Divine Dynasty is dealing with countless matters. The officials in the Great Ming Divine Dynasty are busy all day long, especially these elder ministers who keep working without rest every day. However, those who possess the Divine Position are energetic, especially the original old ministers who may not have been reverted to their youth, but have recovered to the state of their youth. Even if they work day and night, they won’t have any complaints.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Weizhong not only needs to create a set of rituals and systems for the Divine Dynasty, but he also must assist Pei Xuanjing in the nomination of Taoist academy students. So, it’s rather surprising that he even has time to visit.

“Your Majesty, I am here today on a matter that needs your decision,” said Yan Weizhong.

Of all the tasks that he is currently overseeing, the rest can be put on hold, but one cannot be delayed—this matter is of the utmost importance.

“Speak, I am listening,” Zhu Houji signalled for him to continue.

“The ordinances about the temple construction that Your Majesty was promoting across the land have been established. However, the selection of the accompanying sacrificial offerings requires Your Majesty’s decision,” said Yan Weizhong. He took out a report from his sleeves and the royal eunuch Huang Jin, who was in charge of sealing, took it and presented it to the emperor.

The sacrificial temple is the temple built for the emperor to worship, attracting worship and the power of the Incense Faith from the people. The main worshiper of this temple is naturally the emperor himself. However, as for who will be the co-worshipper, that is indeed an issue worth discussing.
