Chapter 689: Chapter 639: Master of Mystiq Sky

In Pei Xuanjing’s view, all living beings in this world inherently have a nature of self-protection, and no sentient being can avoid it.

If the Witch Deity Teaching is as legendary as the rumours, then the old artifact suppressing the Witch Deity Teaching is twilighting, and so the first thing that the Witch Deity Teaching needs to do right now is maintain their status and not let themselves decline. Given they grasped the means to improve the odds of a cultivator of the Spirit Realm Eightfold to ascend to the strongest Nine Realms of Spirit, it would just be their instinct to let the cultivators within the Witch Deity Teaching ascend. Why would they help Wu Shijiu?

It must be known that Wu Shijiu was indeed born into the Witch Deity Teaching, but he left on hostile terms, holding a quite significant grudge against the Witch Deity Teaching. Their cooperation right now is due to mutual benefit and coercion by circumstances. However, it can’t be guessed whether the same would be the case if Wu Shijiu really ascended to the Strongest Realm.

After all, once Wu Shijiu has ascended and Zhu Houji has learned the ancient co-ruler’s methods to become similar to the strongest, it would mean two strongest-level battle forces. If the old artifact of the Witch Deity Teaching were to fall, the two sides would form a standoff. At that point, many affairs of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty would be out of their reach.

In such a scenario, the Witch God Sect Leader would absolutely never have imagined it, or it could be said that even if he had not thought of it, there would have been others to remind him. Therefore, Pei Xuanjing is of the opinion that the Witch Deity Teaching must be confident; otherwise, it would not act as it has.

“Hehe, the Sect Leader is too modest.” Pei Xuanjing looked at the calm-faced Witch God Sect Leader who seemed to have everything under control and said with a smile.

Although he believed that he had seen through the other’s thoughts, if the Witch God Sect Leader did not wish to speak, Pei Xuanjing would not continue poking holes in his argument.

Anyway, as for him, agreeing to the Witch Deity Teaching’s condition to enter the Great Ming Divine Dynasty was already quite sufficient. Whether the Great Ming Divine Dynasty and the Witch Deity Teaching would then earnestly collaborate, going all out, or whether they would scheme against each other, in actuality, none of it had much to do with Pei Xuanjing.

The Witch God Sect Leader chuckled and did not say anything more, turning his gaze back to the law mirror projected by the Taixu Mirror.

Pei Xuanjing also ceased his conversation with him, watching everything that was happening on the law mirror while simultaneously silently studying the actions of the many strongest individuals in the palace at this moment.

If it was said that Pei Xuanjing did not understand these strongest individuals at all before, only knowing their names and where they came from. But now after hearing what the Witch God Sect Leader had to say, his knowledge of these individuals naturally increased, and he understood a lot more about them.

Although these people were all individually seated, their expressions all hidden behind a veil of mist, if Pei Xuanjing combined this with what he just found out and looked carefully, he would find that these people were not as indifferent as they seemed.

These people appeared to be sitting there calmly, talking and laughing, but the strongest individuals from those forces pointed out by the Witch God Sect Leader were, in fact, maintaining intense vigilance against each other. Even their words contained a bit of subtext.

Like when the Master of Mystiq Sky spoke. There were a few forces with him that expressed agreement and affirmation through their words. However, the strongest individuals from the Sword Sect held them in contempt. When they encountered anything that was against their wishes, they directly retorted, disregarding all forms of face-saving.

The strongest individuals from the Buddha Way and the six major sects of the Demonic Way were also at odds with each other, their words sharp. Were it not for the fact that this was Pei Xuanjing’s territory, it would have been completely unsurprising if they started exchanging blows.

The Ancestor Celestial Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain sat alone in one corner. Despite void of any followers, he was still treated with respect by everyone, none daring to disturb him frivolously.

Of course, while Pei Xuanjing was observing others, naturally, there were also many others silently paying attention to Pei Xuanjing.

As the initiator of this Dao Debating Conference, as the host of this place, and as one of the few beings in the world who can suppress the strongest Nine Realms of Spirit, even if he has not yet ascended to the Nine Realms of Spirit, he already stands at the Apex Realm, much like the Ancestor Celestial Master who has suppressed the strongest Nine Realms of Spirit.

Thus, even if Pei Xuanjing has not yet made a move or spoken, he has already attracted the attention of countless people.

He and the Witch God Sect Leader were sitting adjacent to each other, and their conversation was all through voice transmission. However, for these Apex creatures with extremely strong senses, how could they ignore it? Although they did not know what Pei Xuanjing and the Witch God Sect Leader were talking about, they could still roughly guess.

The Master of Mystiq Sky, while chatting with his Taoist Friend next to him, was silently sizing up Pei Xuanjing, this rising talent, or rather, fresh peer.

As a dominant force in Sky Wasteland, or rather, among the top forces in the world, the thing the Master of Mystiq Sky disliked the most was emerging forces. That was indicative of the rise of new forces which could disrupt the existing order, thereby bringing about a disadvantage to the Mystiq Sky Sect rather than a benefit.

The Taixu Sect was like that back then, and so is Pei Xuanjing today.

However, even though the Taixu Venerable broke through back then, even if he had a top-tier Divine weapon treasure like the Taixu Mirror in his hands, he could only barely make the Taixu Sect hold its ground among many top forces. The Taixu Sect had no capacity to stir up any commotion, so the Master of Mystiq Sky was still more or less able to accept it.

However, today’s Pei Xuanjing is undoubtedly better than the Taixu Venerable back then, or one could even say that the Taixu Venerable is not even worthy of being compared with Pei Xuanjing.

As the leader of a top-tier force like the Mystiq Sky Sect, the Master of Mystiq Sky would not care about trivial matters. Even the revival of the Ancestral Land didn’t seem to him like there was anything or anyone worthy of his attention.

However, at this moment, the name Pei Xuanjing entered into his field of vision. From the time Pei Xuanjing started pushing for the Great Ming Divine Dynasty’s promotion, the Master of Mystiq Sky remembered this at the time in his eyes, extremely weak cultivator.

Even so, he did not pay much extra attention. He did not think the other could do much. The fact that he could have Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm’s power in the world before its complete revival, suppressing the aliens who returned to Sky Wasteland, was beyond expectations.

But what happened later, even with the Master of Mystiq Sky’s strength, it set off storms in his normally calm mind.

He didn’t care about Pei Xuanjing suppressing cultivators of the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm. He only glanced briefly at his suppressing of the Third Supreme Elder of Canglang Palace. He was slightly surprised at his ability to fight with the incarnation of the Taixu Venerable. He was caught by surprise when he learned that an incarnation had made a move, thinking that it deserved his attention.

However, by the time Pei Xuanjing truly displayed his full strength and suppressed the Taixu Venerable, leaving the Master of Mystiq Sky extremely shocked, it was already too late, too late for anything.

Because at this moment, Pei Xuanjing was already an existence that he or the Mystiq Sky Sect could not easily control.</p
