Chapter 1218: Chapter 1166 – Chapter 1167_2 Chapter 1218: Chapter 1166 – Chapter 1167_2 In the eyes of some gods and demons, those who could not understand the era and failed to recognize the timing were rightfully doomed-even if they had survived, it would have held no meaning.
“The river of fate flows onward, just like the fierce beasts of old, where the great waves sift through sand; only the truly strong, those who adapt to the era, can genuinely return. Those who cling to their incomplete conservatisms can no longer stand in this era,” a god-devil practicing the same branch of the Laws of Destiny murmured.
The rest of the gods and demons remained silent, as the reality was undeniable.
“Gentlemen, what we need to consider next,” one of the gods and demons spoke quietly, sneering, “is how to secure victory in the War of Sealing Gods. Only then can we truly achieve immortality and longevity; otherwise, everything is in vain.”
The main characters of this era were the human race and the Demon Race, both of whom were vying for the dominant role in heaven and earth, an uncompromisable struggle with only one successful party.
These returning gods and demons were unlucky because the conflict between these two races absolutely did not allow a third party to benefit as a bystander, which was why they faced thunderous retribution.
However, they were also extremely fortunate; at least as of now, the two races had not yet decided the victor, allowing them to participate and submit their credentials, to gain recognition from the other party, and after a victorious future, to earn their share of benefits.
On Shenxiao Mountain, Pei Xuanjing sat at the Ninth Layer, quietly observing the changes in time. This time, he did not engage in life simulation but was integrating his own Taoist skills.
Not just him, but many other True Immortals did the same, consolidating their Taoist divine powers, all to prepare for the final battle.
With Pei Xuanjing's abilities, he was already capable enough to confront the upcoming conquest, even without further enhancements. But now that he had the time, he would not waste these moments.
Upon the return of these Innate Gods and Demons, when Pei Xuanjing exchanged thoughts with them, they naturally did not resist; it benefited them as well.
Each era, each method of divine powers had its unique style. Although these Innate Gods and Demons were naturally powerful without a unified method of cultivation, they were innately close to the Great Tao and indeed had far superior understanding of the laws compared to the usual cultivators.
The exchange and understanding between the two parties were tremendously helpful even for the current Pei Xuanjing.
After all, during ancient times, when heaven and earth were just created, many laws of the Great Tao had not yet fully hidden or manifested among the world, available for many gods and demons to comprehend and cultivate.
More importantly, Pei Xuanjing was learning about the evolution and changes of heaven and earth through the personal experiences of these Innate Gods and Demons.
Among the Five Immortal Paths of heaven, earth, man, god, and ghost, Pei Xuanjing had already mastered the paths of Human Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, and Ghost Immortal, leaving only the paths of Heavenly Immortals and Earth Immortals.
Compared to the elusive path of the Heavenly Immortal, Pei Xuanjing had already created a Small Thousand World, and the path of the Earth Immortal was left only to be continuously perfected as he awaited the true birth of the Longevity World civilization. His integration with the Longevity World would mark the moment he became a True Immortal.
When the Longevity World was initially created, Pei Xuanjing in an earlier Shenxiao Debate Conference, as a reward, granted many cultivators a chance to enter the Longevity World to sense and cultivate.
As these cultivators practiced, they also passed down their Taoist skills in the Longevity World. Although not the core secrets, these teachings laid the foundational enlightenment for Taoist cultivation throughout the Longevity World.
After ascending to True Immortal, Pei Xuanjing focused more on the development of the Longevity World, continuously trying to accelerate its evolution without harming its progress.
Later, as disciples of the Shenxiao Tao and the Taoist Academy grew stronger, Pei Xuanjing even allowed some of these disciples to enter the Longevity World during their cultivation training.
On the one hand, this was to let disciples educate and preach in the Longevity World; on the other hand, it was to give these disciples an opportunity to comprehend the Small Thousand World.
After all, compared to the already promoted Great Ming World, such high-level worlds are too difficult for ordinary cultivators to comprehend. Instead, the laws of the Small Thousand World greatly assist them, making this a case of achieving two things with one action.
Since Pei Xuanjing had opened the Longevity World, hundreds of years had passed in the Great Ming World, and thousands to tens of thousands of years had elapsed in these two worlds due to the completely different flow of time.
Even a newly born world, having evolved over thousands to tens of thousands of years, was enough to give birth to the rudiments of a civilization.
The development of the Longevity World was not natural; having True Immortal Pei Xuanjing as the hidden pusher behind the scenes, thousands to tens of thousands of years had allowed their development to mature greatly.
“With the current development of the Longevity World, the rudimentary form of the cultivation civilization has reached a limit. What's needed now is a node, a creature to emerge, acting as the true pioneer, integrating the Taoist skills I have passed down, and then forging their own Martial Arts path in the Longevity World. Once recognized by the will of the heavens and earth of the Longevity World, they could give birth to their own civilization,” Pei Xuanjing, in harmony with the Heavenly Path, reflected on the will of the heavens and earth of the Longevity World, and he lamented.
The evolution of heaven and earth has its own path. Even though Pei Xuanjing, pushing from behind, accelerated it, some things are not disturbable by external forces; they need to be transcended by their own essence.
He could speed up this initial enlightenment process and shorten the process, but when the rudiments of the civilization develop to a certain extent, it will then need to be up to them.
Just like now, Pei Xuanjing had accelerated the development of the rudiments of civilization, but at this stage, if they want to transform into a real civilization, it needs to be achieved by a true native creature of the Longevity World.
Like the human race of the Great Ming World, at its inception, the weak human race learned the laws of other tribes and cultivated the paths of other races; these were not truly their own civilization.
Latter, having Ancient sages of the human race combine the laws of All Tribes and forge their own paths and laws, they had their own civilization. Only then did they truly gain recognition from heaven and earth and leave their own mark between heaven and earth.
This step is uncontrollable; it can be guided, but it cannot be forcefully executed.
Even though Pei Xuanjing is the pioneer of this world, the ruler of the Longevity World, he cannot do so.
Because if he were to forcefully do so, it would mean imprinting his own path deeply into this world, and his influence would profoundly affect the creatures of this world.
In the future, all creatures in the Longevity World, in their process of cultivation, would be comprehending not the real universe, but Pei Xuanjing's paths and laws. As the universe grows stronger, as Pei Xuanjing grows stronger, their influence would deepen, to the point where they could no longer break free.
In that case, the Longevity World would completely lose its potential; even if the Small Thousand World continued to strengthen, the future growth would be limited. It would merely produce another Pei Xuanjing, which is not what Pei Xuanjing hoped for.
If it were the past, before stepping into the realm of True Immortal, facing many dangers and unable to protect himself, he could have accepted such a desperate measure to strengthen himself because he was not in a position to consider otherwise.
But now, as the most powerful True Immortal in this universe, with no other power posing a threat to him, even if his power no longer advanced, he wasn't worried about rivals.
Thus, he does not need to hurriedly catalyze, consume the potential of the Longevity World. He has plenty of time, plenty of patience to wait for the growth of the Longevity World, holding higher hopes for his future.
This is the confidence belonging to Pei Xuanjing and the greatest reassurance he holds from his cultivation up to this point. He has the true freedom to act according to his own heart's desire without worrying about anything.
