Chapter 613: Chapter 563: True Martial Sect’s High Stake Bet

“As for the strength aspect, I can now at least demonstrate the initial Sixth Level, which would also be the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm in this world.” The Deer Elder voiced his recent experience to Pei Xuanjing.

Embarrassed, he added: “However, should I receive the support from your Power of Faith, even if I encounter a cultivator of Spirit Realm Eightfold, I might stand a chance in a fight.”

In the current Daming World, if anyone comprehends Pei Xuanjing most profoundly, that would probably be the Deer Elder himself.

Having accompanied Pei Xuanjing in the Sky Wasteland for hundreds of years, he had witnessed Pei Xuanjing’s fierce battles against numerous enemies. Later, when Pei Xuanjing had ascended to the divine position, he had enhanced himself with the Power of Incense Fire, and as his mount, the Deer Elder naturally received attention and blessings as well.

Therefore, he understood clearly that if he could acquire the Power of Incense Fire, it would significantly increase his own strength, and he didn’t hesitate to speak about this.

“Heh, you are quite straightforward,” Pei Xuanjing chuckled, “In that case, I actually have something I need you to do.”

He trusted the Deer Elder very much. As the latter expressed his wishes so frankly, Pei Xuanjing naturally would not reject it. To him, the Power of Incense Fire was insignificant, but lending it to someone and getting a vital force in exchange sounded like an excellent deal.

Moreover, once the Deer Elder’s strength was restored, he could assign some tasks to him.

“Master, please give your orders. I am willing to die for your cause,” said the Deer Elder, his face suddenly turning solemn.

Pei Xuanjing waved his hand and said, “The matter is not that severe, I just need…”

……

Taihe Mountain, True Martial Sect.

This majestic mountain has been the primary goal of countless people in the Taoist Sect, a holy land for cultivation, ever since Ancestor Sanfeng founded the sect. Even after the promotion of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, the True Martial Sect has remained a famous major power in the world.

However, as spiritual cultivators have become more abundant with the increasing revival times of Heaven and Earth, many have intentionally or unintentionally downplayed the presence of the True Martial Sect, leading many to forget the sect. They have forgotten that the current Sect Leader of the True Martial Sect was once a supreme figure who shocked the martial world.

Over the past few decades, many new forces have emerged, and the True Martial Sect has become more unobtrusive. If it weren’t for the regular interactions with the many fellow members of the Taoist Alliance, many would assume something had happened to the True Martial Sect.

The recent actions of the demonic leaders, Zhao Baiyang and Xue Wuheng, have rekindled long-buried memories in many and reminded them of the once awe-inspiring supreme powers in the martial world. Sect Leader Taoist Qingxu of the True Martial Sect has once again entered many people’s sight.

Everyone was waiting. Since Zhao Baiyang and Xue Wuheng have already made their moves, Taoist Qingxu is bound to have his shocking moment in the martial world. Even the returned forces from the Sky Wasteland were silently watching this sect, which has only a history of over 600 years.

Unexpectedly, the True Martial Sect seemed indifferent to everything, giving no reaction to the events in the martial world. They continued to maintain their original low profile as if they were a stagnant pond.

Because of this, no one knew what the True Martial Sect was thinking or doing. They wondered whether Taoist Qingxu hadn’t exited his seclusion or had he fallen behind in this Great World.

In a secret location of True Martial Sect, many cultivators in the Spiritual Realm sat on meditation cushions. Each of them took a position that subtly corresponded to the Eight Trigrams, forming a huge formation resembling a Yin Yang Fish.

At the center of the Yin Yang Fish, two Taoists sat in the void. Their bodies faintly shimmered, an apparent symbol of refining the Divine Position. The heavy divine lights indicated a long duration of refining the Divine Position.

If Pei Xuanjing and the old Heavenly Master were here, they would recognize these two figures: Taoist Qingshi and Taoist Baishi.

These two were those who broke the Heaven and Earth seal together on the peak of Taihe Mountain and triggered the revival of Heaven and Earth. They obtained godly positions using the Enfeoffment and were the first to do so in the Daming World in thousands of years.

However, after the two obtained the godly positions through Enfeoffment, they became only the guardian god of Taihe Mountain. According to Pei Xuanjing’s prediction, they were at most at the Spirit Realm Onefold and couldn’t leave Taihe Mountain.

That’s why, even though Pei Xuanjing never returned to Taihe Mountain or heard any news about the two, he didn’t think much of them.

If the now stronger Pei Xuanjing saw what was happening on Taihe Mountain today, he would discover that these two people had changed entirely contrary to his prediction.

At this moment, the strength radiated from the bodies of Taoist Qingshi and Taoist Baishi was definitely more than just Spirit Realm Onefold. In fact, they had already reached Spirit Realm Fivefold. This was unbelievable; even Pei Xuanjing would be astounded to see this.

Although the godly position can be enhanced, to do so is not an easy task. The cultivation realm aura currently released by the two could only mean that they have raised the level of their godly position. Regardless of how the True Martial Sect achieved this, they did it without a doubt.

“Based on your estimations, how much longer is needed to complete it thoroughly?”

From a distant mountain peak, Taoist Qingxu asked the surrounding elders of the Zhenwu Sect.

Despite his calm demeanor, his eyes betrayed him; he cared deeply about the ongoing events and did not want any accidents.

“If all goes well, we will need three more times, approximately three years, for success,” replied an elder, stroking his long beard and emphasizing his words, not daring to take the matter lightly.

“Very well, I hope things go as planned. Otherwise, my True Martial Sect will lose the chance to rise, and might even get wiped out in this Great World,” warned Taoist Qingxu in a grave voice.

“Yes, Sect Leader Qingxu. We will do our utmost, and even at the cost of our lives, we will ensure the success of this plan,” the elders confidently responded.

“Good!”

Taoist Qingxu nodded, and turned to leave.

Qingxu who left was feeling incredibly complicated. He didn’t know if what he did was right, but there was no doubt that there was no turning back now. If they succeed, the True Martial Sect will have the strength to protect itself in the upcoming Grand Era, but if they lose…
