Chapter 1134: Chapters 1082-1083: Life Simulation–Turning Pretense into Reality_2 Chapter 1134: Chapters 1082-1083: Life Simulation–Turning Pretense into Reality_2 Although this part of Heaven and Earth originally possessed the authority of the Thunder God and Pei Xuanjing occupied the Divine Position of this deity, the position of the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life did not exist in this world. Thus, Pei Xuanjing's Divine Tao authority was actually incomplete.
He had the Da Ye Dynasty establish his Divine Temple and then used it to collect the Power of Faith, all to perfect his Divine Tao authority.
Finally, after two hundred years had passed, the title of Shenxiao Yuzhen King, Emperor of Longevity, Supreme Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Origin, had been thoroughly spread throughout the Great Thousand Worlds, with all beings acknowledging the existence of this deity.
Pei Xuanjing, turning the false into the true, forcibly created the Divine Position of the South Pole Emperor of Eternal Life in this world, allowing him to ascend to the Immortal Realm once more.
Over these two hundred years, the countless Force of Faith Incense that had accumulated was harnessed by Pei Xuanjing to refine his Yin Spirit, constantly tempering it and proceeding towards a transformation into a Yang Spirit.
For other Nine Tribulations Ghost Immortals, what might take thousands to tens of thousands of years to accomplish, Pei Xuanjing managed to nearly complete in just two hundred years and was about to successfully ascend.
Such progress, if it were known, would shock countless powerhouses.
For Pei Xuanjing, two hundred years was but a period of closed-door cultivation, a brief flick of a finger, but for the entire Great Thousand Worlds, it was an exceedingly long time.
When the Da Ye Dynasty fell and the new Da Ye Dynasty was established, it was already an event from two hundred years ago, unbeknownst to many.
In these two hundred years, several emperors of the Da Ye Dynasty had come and gone. The original Righteous King, the founding Emperor of the Da Ye Dynasty, had become the revered Great Ancestor and had long since retired from the public eye, hidden and no longer appearing.
However, for a formidable figure like the Great Ancestor of the Da Ye Dynasty, even if he had retired behind the scenes and had not shown himself in a very long time, the powerful individuals from various Religious Sects still dared not underestimate him, nor had they forgotten his existence.
The Method of Qi Luck, this technique once revealed by the Shenxiao True Monarch pertaining to the cultivation of emperors of dynasties, caused the Religious Sects and noble families to suffer losses over these two hundred years. If not for the fact that the one who revealed this technique was someone they could not afford to provoke, they would have long been attacked from all sides.
Every dynasty exists as a compromise among the various Religious Sects and noble families and, although indeed powerful, for these groups, there are still ways to keep them in check, even leveraging the situation to seize more interests for themselves.
But this time was different, the strength of the Da Ye Dynasty far exceeded that of the past, especially with the enhancement of the Method of Qi Luck, the Emperor's power swiftly increased, rivaling most Sect Leaders and family heads, causing them to lose their advantage in oppressing others with power.
Over two hundred years, the continued strength of the Da Ye Dynasty surpassed any prior dynasty, not only due to their governance but also because they blocked the attempts of various Religious Sect factions to take action, turning many benefits originally belonging to these families into their own.
At this time, though the Da Ye Dynasty had been established for just over two hundred years, its prosperity was no less than that of the Da Ye Dynasty that stood for more than three hundred years.
This caused the various Religious Sects and noble families to grow deeply wary; they could not imagine what kind of behemoth the Da Ye Dynasty would become with another hundred years, nor could they accept further loss of benefits that should belong to them to the Da Ye Dynasty.
Thus, in just over two hundred years, there were strong individuals from Religious Sects calling out to bring about a change of dynasties, believing that everything must be nipped in the bud to avoid future calamities.
While the various forces shouted and clamored, they all knew that to incite a dynastic change, they needed unanimous approval from the top Religious Sects and noble families, especially those like the Dao of Supreme and Shenxiao Tao, which had grown continuously with the Da Ye Dynasty over these two hundred years.
The Great Ancestor of Da Ye was no fool; he knew whom he could offend and whom he could not.
Even though he had the power to contend with many Religious Sects and noble families, facing behemoths like the Shenxiao Tao and Dao of Supreme, he did not dare go against them. Instead, he fulfilled the agreement from the past faithfully.
Intimidating the weak, deceiving those below while fearing those above, such tactics were fully employed by the successive emperors of the Da Ye Dynasty. However, faced with their own interests undamaged and even increased, and furthermore using it to suppress opponents, both the Shenxiao Tao and the Dao of Supreme were happy to see such outcomes.
Two hundred years had been enough for many things to happen; Sun Liang had not only made leaps and bounds in his power but had also completely assimilated all that he had received from the Creation Dao. The Shenxiao Dao now stood tall in the Great Thousand Worlds, without a trace of the Creation Dao left.
As the master of the Shenxiao Dao, Sun Liang had become one of the leading figures of the top religious sect families within the Great Thousand Worlds, possessing supreme influence.
“Teacher, how do you see this matter of the dynasty's succession?” Sun Liang asked Pei Xuanjing respectfully for guidance.
Even with his supreme authority and formidable power, when facing his teacher, Sun Liang still showed the same respectful and humble demeanor as before.
Even though his teacher hadn't made a move in two hundred years, the stronger Sun Liang became, the more he could sense how fearsome his teacher was.
Nowadays, as the master of the Shenxiao Dao within the Great Thousand Worlds, he was a prominent figure, especially after his Martial Arts stepped into the essence of boxing intent, and his Taoist Skills had recently overcome the seventh tribulation of a Ghost Immortal. Holding the Thunderbolt Scepter in hand, even against Nine Tribulations Ghost Immortal powerhouses, he was qualified to fight.
But when it came to the matter of a dynasty's succession, he still needed his teacher to make the decision, as the cooperation with the current Da Ye Dynasty was still relatively harmonious.
“We are merely collaborators with the Da Ye Dynasty, but we are never the same kind of people,” Pei Xuanjing said indifferently.
He understood Sun Liang's meaning, but no matter how well they were cooperating now, fundamentally, they were not of the same kind; a parting of ways was inevitable in the end.
“Those people's worries are not unfounded; the Da Ye Dynasty has developed too rapidly, indeed necessitating a push for a dynastic succession.”
Pei Xuanjing was standing from the position of Shen Xiao Dao; considering the interests of Shen Xiao Dao and standing on its behalf, he naturally favoured stirring a dynastic change to prevent a repeat of the old imperial court scenario, ensuring that Shen Xiao Dao could remain at the pinnacle of the Great Thousand Worlds indefinitely.
“This time the dynastic succession is up to you; I have some opponents to face,” Pei Xuanjing said to Sun Liang.
Sun Liang's expression shifted slightly, as he remembered something and hastily asked, “Teacher, is that one about to descend?”
The “that one” he referred to was naturally the founder of the Creation Dao, the ancient heavyweight whose projection avatar had been suppressed by Pei Xuanjing, the Creator.
After suppressing the opponent's projection avatar, Pei Xuanjing had learned the status of this Creator, or rather, the condition of these old antiques who had existed between Heaven and Earth.
These powerhouses had been in existence for far too long, all of them seeking the potential to step across to the other shore and transcend. They had been pursuing this for countless years.
Regrettably, none of these powerhouses had found the opportunity to transcend. Thus, most of them had gone into hiding, falling into a slumber, waiting for the chance of crossing to the other shore to arrive.
It can be said that the projection avatar of the Creator was merely an early imprint that had been activated, while he himself was still in slumber, unaware of the happenings of the world.
But that was then. Once Pei Xuanjing defeated the opponent's projection avatar, the return of his mark would inevitably awaken the true self. Two hundred years had passed since, and Pei Xuanjing was aware that the Creator should be due to descend.
No matter what, regardless of whether the Creator cared for the orthodox he left behind or not, now that his orthodox had been eradicated and his projection avatar had thus vanished, it was inevitable that, upon awakening, he would seek out Pei Xuanjing for this was a matter of certainty.
Hence, Pei Xuanjing was using the opportunity of the impending dynastic change to wait for the arrival of the Creator.
