Chapter 1069: Chapters 1018-1019: Life Simulation – Troublemaker Chapter 1069: Chapters 1018-1019: Life Simulation – Troublemaker The Emperor expected his successors to be excellent, but not too excellent, especially when there were so many outstanding princes. Their power had grown over the years, and they were already influencing the old Emperor, and their struggles against each other were becoming increasingly fierce.
Although the old Emperor was about to abdicate, he was not willing to relinquish his power before stepping down.
Even many people felt that the current situation was all too familiar, almost identical to the circumstances before Emperor Xuanzong's accession to the throne. If one were not careful, history might just repeat itself.
But this time, would the Da Ye Dynasty see another Emperor Xuanzong emerge to turn the tide?
Regardless of the answer, the various religious sects certainly would not allow another such individual to appear.
The Da Ye Dynasty had existed for too long, and it was time for it to be buried in history. It had experienced one revival already and could not be allowed to resurge again–a common will among the religious sects.
For this reason, the religious sects had begun their preparations, devising plans accordingly. It was because of this that the princes' struggles escalated continuously, fueled by the sects' instigation behind the scenes.
However, their involvement was not secretive; in fact, it was an open scheme, something all, including the many princes and even the Emperor of Da Ye, were aware of.
The past events had barely been sixty years ago, which to many cultivators was but a flick of the fingers. Even many of the original participants were still alive. How could they not know these things and see the hidden schemes behind them?
But power is seductive, and the throne of the foremost Dynasty between Heaven and Earth brings supreme authority. Ascending it offers the chance to further one's cultivation, an opportunity no one would want to miss.
And each of these princes was outstanding, each with extraordinary methods. Otherwise, they could not have garnered the support of others and the religious sects.
Therefore, even though the princes were aware of the religious sects' secret plots and knew that their cooperation was akin to making a deal with a tiger, they were indifferent. They had enough confidence to believe that if they could ascend to the throne, they could easily suppress everything, just like Emperor Xuanzong did before.
Everyone had their schemes, everyone had sufficient confidence, and everyone firmly believed they would be the ultimate victor; thus, the situation became immensely complicated.
At this moment, Da Xing City seemed like a thriving, prosperous place, but many could see the furious undercurrents beneath this prosperity, with constant strife, and one misstep could lead to volcanic eruptions shaking the heavens and earth.
It was during this time that a Taoist, dressed in dark brown robes and wearing a jade crown, quietly entered Da Xing City. He took over a rundown and poorly managed dojo in the south of the city, with plans to set up his own martial arts school it seemed.
This Taoist was none other than Pei Xuanjing from the Southern Province.
Traveling from the Southern Province to the Central State, covering vast expanses and long distances, the journey spanned countless miles, an insurmountable distance for common folk possibly for a lifetime without external assistance.
After all, for ordinary people, aside from the vast distance, there were countless dangers lurking throughout the journey that could claim lives at any moment.
But this was not the case for Pei Xuanjing, a powerhouse such as he. As a Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal and a martial artist nearly capable of shattering the void, even with only his Taoist cultivation, the long distance and so-called dangers were nothing to him.
Along his journey, Pei Xuanjing had witnessed the ways of Heaven and Earth. He did not hurry but instead emulated nature and interacted with other cultivators, constantly refining his own path of cultivation.
Not long ago, he had arrived at the capital city, Da Xing, within the Da Ye Dynasty. He quietly purchased a dojo there, intending it as a place to settle down.
Of course, because Pei Xuanjing did not conceal his aura and realm, even though he kept a low profile, he was well aware that his arrival in Da Xing had already come to the attention of many.
After all, a Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal, in the orthodox sects passed down by the saintly sages, was qualified to vie for the position of Sect Leader, certainly not a powerhouse to be overlooked.
Especially now, amidst the undercurrents in Da Xing, how could a Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal not attract their notice?
For these top-tier orthodox sects, they paid great attention to any outsider, especially such a powerful one. News of Pei Xuanjing's arrival quickly made its way into the hands of the concerned parties, with the relevant information about him laid on the desks of those in charge.
Even though Pei Xuanjing hailed from the Southern Province, they could swiftly gather information on him.
“The Immortal Taoist, self-titled as Shenxiao True Monarch, a Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal, is masterful in Thunder Law Taoism. He rose to prominence in the Southern Province decades ago, where he founded the Shenxiao Tao. However, he did not recruit disciples. Not long ago, he left the Southern Province and arrived at Da Xing, settling in an unnamed dojo in the south of the city.”
Reading the information in front of him, an elder of the Six Tribulations Ghost Immortal from the Creation Dao furrowed his brows. As the person in charge of the Creation Dao in Da Xing City, his power was sufficient to handle many situations, provided the factions had not yet openly broken with one another.
