Chapter 641: Chapter 591 – What of the Mightiest?
In the two most recent life simulations, Pei Xuanjing had once become the God of the Eternal Divine Dynasty, a figure of supreme power, whose words could shape the fate of the world, with none disobeying his will.
In the previous life simulation, Pei Xuanjing had risen in a vast barren world, stepping over countless bodies of powerhouses to become the Emperor of the human race. He was admired by countless powerful men of the human race, respected and feared by powerful foreign tribes, which ingrained in him an air of arrogance and superior attitude.
At ordinary times when facing people who were inferior, Pei Xuanjing would show a modest attitude. But the current attitude of this Taixu Venerable provoked Pei Xuanjing; his arrogance is now on full display.
“It seems you are unwilling to leave, and have to intervene!” Pei Xuanjing said coldly, “Are you so confident by your incarnation alone you can handle this situation?”
Whoosh!
When Pei Xuanjing spoke these words, the whole scene was shocked. Everyone present was awe-struck. The whole atmosphere turned silent, with only the whistling of the wind. No one dared to speak lightly.
Ever since the Taixu Venerable appeared and stopped Pei Xuanjing, everything exceeded their expectations.
At first, many people didn’t know the identity of the man in the blue robe, but he dared to intervene in Pei Xuanjing’s actions, this alone proved his astounding power and absolute confidence.
When someone realized it was Taixu Venerable, his status was no longer a secret and instantly understood by everyone present: he was an incarnation of a supreme figure in the Nine Realms of Spirit.
No one dared to comment rashly for fear of bringing disaster upon themselves.
In the eyes of the masses, the appearance of the Taixu Venerable was supposed to stop everything. Even if Pei Xuanjing was powerful, they believed he would not be able to challenge the Supreme Being in the Nine Realms of Spirit, even if it was just a manifestation of him.
Yet sometimes, the norm is meant to be shattered, which is precisely depicted by Pei Xuanjing’s indomitable attitude.
According to the crowd, Pei Xuanjing’s words were a challenge, a contempt towards Taixu Venerable.
Indeed, it was a challenge, a disdain for the Supreme Being in the Nine Realms of Spirit.
This is something the Taixu Venerable cannot tolerate. Even if it was not his real body present here, he cannot be disrespected and challenged by others.
“Young man, you are too arrogant!” the Taixu Venerable said angrily with a grim face.
Pei Xuanjing is nothing more than a junior. He had shown him enough respect, but he dared to speak with outright disrespect. This is exceedingly audacious and not putting him in his eyes.
Are all of today’s juniors this conceited? The Taixu Venerable wondered.
This Pei Xuanjing surely got used to his invincible stand within the Ancestral Land, not knowing there are always people better than one.
Pei Xuanjing remained calm with a icy gaze, devoid of previous gentle demeanor, replaced by a severe one. “I have shown you enough respect, but you chose not to accept it and assumed an air of condescension. I don’t appreciate it,” he said.
His pronoun and tone have changed. Does it matter whether the opponent was a Supreme Being in the Nine Realms of Spirit or not? He had suppressed similar powers last time during the life simulation.
The Power of Incense Fire he now possessed might be less than what he had accumulated during the human race life simulation, but it was enough to support him for a few rounds.
The current Taixu Venerable was not truly here but was merely an avatar. As long as he could not unleash the full power of a Supreme Being in the Nine Realms of Spirit, Pei Xuanjing was not necessarily incapable of subduing him.
Initially, he intended to use the Canglang Palace as a stepping stone, making it a target for setting his prestige. But this stubborn Taixu Venerable left him no choice, compelling him to make the first move.
After all, it would be hundred times more effective to kill a Supreme Being in the Nine Realms of Spirit, even just a manifestation, than winning over the Canglang Palace.
With a steadfast decision in mind, Pei Xuanjing showed no hesitation and no longer showed respect towards the Taixu Venerable.
“The young man is audacious!” Taixu Venerable roared in anger.
Ever since he advanced into the Nine Layers Realm, he established the Taixu Sect as a top power and was worshipped by many, earning the respect and fear of many, including other top powers. None would dare speak so rudely to him.
For thousands of years, the Taixu Venerable had never been insulted like this. Even his peers would not degrade him this way. How could he not get furious when being belittled by a junior like Pei Xuanjing?
“Stand back, everyone. Today, I shall teach this young man a lesson—he cannot afford to offend just anyone in the world,” Taixu Venerable spoke to Wei Ping and others in the Canglang Palace.
Frankly speaking, when he intervened earlier, part of the reason was his acquaintance with the senior personage of the Canglang Palace. But there was an underlying motive.
Although the Taixu Sect was a top force, he was the only Supreme Being of the Nine Realms of Spirit present, making it somehow inferior to those powers with a long history.
Hence he spent a tremendous amount to manifest an incarnation, descending to the Ancestral Land ahead of time to get a head start, securing significant benefits for the Taixu Sect.
After witnessing Pei Xuanjing’s earlier performance where he easily suppressed the Third Supreme Elder of the Canglang Palace, earning the respect and fear of all, no one dared to speak when he exerted pressure on the Palace.
This was the opportunity that Taixu Venerable saw. He intended to use his reputation and status to stop Pei Xuanjing, forcing him to back down would make him replace Pei Xuanjing’s position, showing everyone the might of the Taixu Sect.
His plan was great, but however, Pei Xuanjing refused to obey, which was simply unacceptable.
