As for the reaction of the various forces of the Great Thousand Worlds to Pei Xuanjing, although he didn't have a clear intelligence network, everything was completely within his expectations. This was something he had anticipated when he decided to enter Da Xing City.
Unless he wished to cultivate quietly in this world without interfering in any affairs, once he decided to become involved in everything within the Great Thousand Worlds, it was inevitable for Pei Xuanjing to actively enter the fray. It was also time for the various forces to become aware of his presence.
Originally, Pei Xuanjing was guessing which power's leader would be the first to reach out to him.
At that moment, as he entered Da Xing City, Pei Xuanjing encountered the first powerhouse, a person whose name was famous throughout Heaven and Earth, and whose authority was overwhelming.
The dilapidated martial arts school where Pei Xuanjing resided, though adjacent to the bustling southern market of the city, felt separated by more than just one wall–it seemed as if it existed in two different worlds.
The quiet martial arts school, free of any clamor, serene and tranquil, was as if set in deep mountains.
It is said that water does not need to be deep to be inhabited by a dragon, making it spirited, nor does a mountain need to be high to be inhabited by an immortal, making it mystical.
As a True Immortal, even if Pei Xuanjing had not fully recovered his Realm, the essential nature and stature of a True Immortal could not be erased. The will of Heaven and Earth naturally paid attention to him.
At this moment, residing in Da Xing City, even without deliberately managing, the aura he inadvertently exuded was enough to influence this small courtyard.
Even if the Da Ye Dynasty's capital city, Da Xing City, was suppressed by formation techniques, if Pei Xuanjing, such a leader among True Immortals, were willing, his will could also influence this place and even Heaven and Earth.
Therefore, even though it had only been a short time, this small courtyard had been cultivated to nearly rival the Spirit Land of some religious sects, allowing many to cultivate here and comprehend Taoist skills.
Creak…
The door of the martial arts school was slowly pushed open, and a middle-aged man with graying temples and wearing ordinary robes walked in.
However, even though this middle-aged man only wore simple robes, the temperament of someone who had been in high positions for a long time could not be concealed–adorned in a Dragon Fish Suit, the air of someone accustomed to high office and wielding authority was as bright as fireflies in the night.
The middle-aged man had kind eyes and a firm visage; he pushed open the gate and stepped in as if he were entering his own home.
“Entering without invitation is a bit much, don't you think?” A distant voice arose beside the man's ears.
Though it was just a faint phrase, it exploded in his ears like thunder, resonant as a monumental bell, enough to shake the deaf and make the hearing clear.
The middle-aged man followed the voice, a flash of surprise in his eyes. Before entering the courtyard, he hadn't sensed the presence of the other, but when his gaze settled, he discovered a Taoist sitting quietly there–the sound had come from him.
Clearly, this Taoist was the target of his visit, the recently arrived Shenxiao True Monarch, the Immortal Taoist, in Da Xing City.
The Taoist sat there, his breath fluctuating, intangible and elusive, as if merging with Heaven and Earth, seeming as though he might ascend to immortality at any moment.
“Under the heavens, is not all land the Emperor's to tread? Is there anywhere in Da Xing City that I am not allowed to step into?” The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
Although he was surprised by the Immortal Taoist a moment ago, the middle-aged man was also confident in himself, especially in Da Xing City, where no one could make him feel fear.
“Hehe, Emperor Xuanzong, don't joke. The saying 'Under the heavens, all land is the Emperor's' might be intended for the common folk, but to me, it's nothing but a joke,” Pei Xuanjing said with a faint smile, seemingly unaffected by the other's demeanor, he spoke lightly.
The person before him was none other than Emperor Xuanzong himself, who decades ago had restored the declining Da Ye Dynasty, and as a powerhouse had stepped into the Peak of Human Immortals.
Indeed, as the man said, within Da Xing City, with his influence, there were many places he could go without asking anyone else.
But saying 'Under the heavens, all land is the Emperor's' as if joking to Pei Xuanjing–sure, the Da Ye Dynasty was powerful, but it wasn't as exaggerated as the man claimed.
If it really were so powerful, it might not have faced the situation of a power struggle amongst princes sixty years ago, with religious sects and noble families stirring from behind. And yet Emperor Xuanzong could only stand by, unable to intervene in the slightest.
“`
Because they harbored trepidation in their hearts, they knew that even with the Da Ye Dynasty's current power, they could not face and counter the many religious sects and noble families; they could only let these sects and families stir the pot, fighting within the rules.
Even though they were aware that the purpose of such indulgence was to overthrow the Da Ye Dynasty, they were not in a position to confront them openly, as their power was insufficient.
So, in all frankness, the claim that all beneath the heavens belong to the emperor was nothing but a joke, something to dupe the commoners.
“Humph!” A flash of anger crossed the eyes of Emperor Xuanzong, for as an emperor wielding supreme influence and formidable power, even the leaders of various sects would treat him with respect.
Since his ascension to the throne, he had never before been spoken to in such a manner; it was utterly audacious.
The Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal might be formidable, but there had been instances where he had been suppressed by the mighty Da Ye Dynasty.
In the face of Emperor Xuanzong's undisguised wrath, Pei Xuanjing showed not the slightest fear.
As the saying goes, treat me with respect, and I will return it tenfold. Pei Xuanjing had never been one to show weakness, and after his rise to True Immortal, there would be nobody in this world who could make Pei Xuanjing back down.
Perhaps Emperor Xuanzong, having been emperor for so long and constantly flattered by others, has grown accustomed to deference, but Pei Xuanjing was not one to indulge him.
No matter his status, since Pei Xuanjing resided here, he was the master of this place, and anyone who set foot here should at least display the minimum courtesy.
Otherwise, no matter who it was, Pei Xuanjing would not be polite.
“If Your Majesty Emperor Xuanzong is so confident, then I wonder if your commands would go unobstructed at Heaven Pillar Mountain of Dao of Supreme, Creation God Palace of the Creation Dao, or the domains controlled by the descendants of various philosophers and scholars?” Pei Xuanjing still spoke in a calm tone.
However, these words indeed stoked the fire of anger burning in Emperor Xuanzong's heart, filled with rage.
Lies do not incite anger, but the truth is the knife that kills.
If the Immortal Taoist before him had spouted nonsense, he would not have minded at all and wouldn't have taken it to heart.
But the key point was that nothing the other party said was false, leaving him with no rebuttal.
The smile on Emperor Xuanzong's face faded, slowly turning somber, and even the quiet courtyard seemed to become oppressive.
Given the current situation, if a great war were to break out right in front of them, it wouldn't be surprising at all, without the slightest shock.
“Hahaha…”
Suddenly, the previously gloomy and seemingly rage-filled Emperor Xuanzong's anger dissipated as he let out a hearty laugh.
“What the True Monarch has said is true, indeed I have exaggerated, making a fool out of myself before the True Monarch,” he acknowledged.
Worthy of an emperor, he could endure what ordinary people could not. Whether he had truly let go or was just pretending, at that moment, Emperor Xuanzong managed to restrain himself, adopting a smiling face.
Pei Xuanjing, as if he had anticipated this, lightly waved his sleeve, and a stone table appeared on the ground, accompanied by two stone stools, on top of which was a brazier with tea utensils neatly arranged.
The Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal is known in this world as a creator, possessing divine abilities to create something out of nothing, bringing forth objects from the void–traits unique to those above the Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal.
After witnessing such a display of power from Pei Xuanjing, Emperor Xuanzong no longer dared doubt Pei Xuanjing's strength.
Pei Xuanjing said with a smile, “In that case, if Your Majesty Emperor Xuanzong is willing, I would be pleased to offer you the hospitality due to a host.”
“If that's the case, I will follow the host's lead,” replied Emperor Xuanzong without hesitation, his words indirectly acknowledging Pei Xuanjing's status.
