Chapter 664: Chapter 614: Suppression Amidst Storm and Stress
“Hiss!”
“This young man is not to be provoked!”
“At the moment when the other party garnered the favor of the heavenly earth spirits of the Ancestral Land, even though this youth has not yet broken through to the Nine Realms of Spirit, he is indeed capable of confronting us.”
“Once this youth actually breaks through to the Nine Realms of Spirit, he will likely become the absolute Ruler. Only a select few among us can suppress him.”
…
Many who chose to descend in physical forms to watch the battle, the High Beings at the Ninth Realm of Spirit, were struck by the current situation, their minds spinning with thoughts. Many of the more powerful beings who were just now lured by the Small Thousand World, felt relieved for their restraint at this moment.
Though Pei Xuanjing is a junior, he was able to suppress the physical form of the Taixu Venerable. This indicates that he can suppress me too, which is a truly terrifying existence.
For these High Beings at the Ninth Realm of Spirit, they were the pinnacle of the world, and almost nothing or no one could induce fear in them.
But now, seeing Pei Xuanjing suppress Taixu Venerable, they felt a sense of danger they had not felt in a long time.
Throughout history, in the recorded thousands of years in the Daming World, since the beginning of the Ancient Era, those who had cultivated to become High Beings in the Nine Realms of Spirit were the most powerful existence in the world, standing at the pinnacle. Even the Ruler of the human race in the Ancient Era and the later Divine Dynasty did not dare to confront such power unless absolutely necessary.
This is because their possessed power is capable of causing major changes in the world. Each High Being of the Nine Realms of Spirit, left countless legends in the world.
No one has ever challenged a High Being of the Nine Realms of Spirit from the Eightfold Spirit Realm. Never.
As for the rumors that some cultivators from the Eightfold Spirit Realm challenged and defeated High Beings of the Nine Realms, they believe it’s just the cultivators bragging about themselves.
As long as they are willing, even the most powerful cultivator from the Eightfold Spirit Realm is not their opponent. Once they really make a move, the other party is certain to die.
This has been an unchanging rule, an irrefutable law.
Yet today, this law has been broken. A cultivator from the Eightfold Spirit Realm, challenged and defeated a High Being of the Nine Realms of Spirit. Even though he did not kill the opponent, the fact that he could challenge and suppress the opponent was enough to prove his fearfulness.
Yes, Taixu Venerable was suppressed by Pei Xuanjing!
They fought endlessly, shaking the Heaven and Earth. Yet surprisingly, after countless exchanges, neither managed to gain an upper hand.
Although Taixu Venerable was furious, he had to face reality. Pei Xuanjing was only an Eightfold Spirit Realm, but his strength was on par with him. He could not overpower Pei Xuanjing.
Just as everyone, including Taixu Venerable himself, thought that the battle was going to end in a stalemate, something out of everyone’s expectation happened.
This was Pei Xuanjing suddenly opening the entrance to his previously closed Small Thousand World during a standoff. Without Taixu Venerable noticing, he incorporated him into it.
The Small Thousand World was only newly formed and suppressing a High Being like Taixu Venerable was not easy. If mishandled due to exceeding power, it could even potentially destroy the world.
Fortunately, when it was newly formed, it received nourishment from the Daming World’s origin. It was connected to the Daming World, and with its power, it could completely suppress Taixu Venerable.
At that moment, a cultivator who should have been the most powerful in the world, the ultimate entity who stood out in the cultivation world, was suppressed by the whole Small Thousand World.
The environment of Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire with systems such as Tai Chi, Two Elements, Three Talents, Four Images, Five Elements, Six Harmonies, Seven Stars, Eight Trigrams, Nine Palaces, and Ten Directions were all interlinked, suppressing Taixu Venerable deep into the core of the Small Thousand World. No matter how angry and roaring he was, he could not break free from this cage.
A High Being from the Nine Realms of Spirit has reached the pinnacle of cultivation, peering into the Immortal Path. In addition to their powerful abilities and divine powers, they also possess exceedingly potent life forces.
At this moment, however, the formidable life force of Taixu Venerable ironically became his burden and the root of all his suffering.
Countless invisible tendrils pierced his body, unable to be driven out. He could only let these tendrils drain his origin force and nourish the Small Thousand World. Such a fate was a greater insult to Taixu Venerable than death.
After all, if he had died at the hands of Pei Xuanjing, it would have been humiliating, but acceptable since his skills were inferior. But the opponent suppressed him here and made him wish for death. His life force was provided as nourishment for the Small Thousand World, making his life worse than death.
Pei Xuanjing was unaware of Taixu Venerable’s thoughts. However, even if he was aware, he would not care. His inability to kill Taixu Venerable, left him with the option to suppress him only. Even if he had the ability to aid Taixu Venerable, once he discovered that Taixu Venerable’s origin could serve as sustenance for the Small Thousand World’s ascension, Pei Xuanjing would not choose to waste it.
Whoosh…
High above in the sky, the tranquility was restored. Pei Xuanjing’s robe rustled in the wind. His long hair, which had originally been tied up by a hairband, had loosened and was fluttering in the wind. He held the unadorned Sanbao Jade Ruyi in one hand and the Six-Color Sword in the other. His cold gaze swept across the crowd, and no one dared to look at him directly.
By using the Eightfold Spirit Realm to challenge the High Being of the Nine Realms, and not only not dying but suppressing the opponent, Pei Xuanjing’s actions broke the rule that has been established since ancient times. The cultivators were silenced, not knowing how to react. At the sight of the awe-inspiring Pei Xuanjing, they could only bow their heads in silence, not daring to look straight at him.
These people knew the moment when Pei Xuanjing suppressed the Taixu Venerable, he had truly ascended to the pinnacle of the world. Even if more top-tier forces return with the Nine Realms High Being, it will not affect his standing.
After all, to those who have reached such a realm, unless necessary, they would not confront each other to the death.
Since the great disaster of the Tang Dynasty, despite numerous conflicts, even cultivators in the Eightfold Spirit Realm rarely died, let alone High Beings of the Nine Realms.
Today, with Taixu Venerable being suppressed by Pei Xuanjing, even though he has not yet died, it can be said that it sent shockwaves through the crowd. This is bound to cause countless ripples.
All the forces in the world have their own interests, and it is because of these interests that they can continue to grow and strengthen.
Now that Taixu Venerable has been suppressed, for the new and rising power, Taixu Sect, without the High Being at the Nine Realms to stabilize it, it has instantly entered an era of instability.
