Chapter 1237: 186 Chapter – 187 Chapter Creating the Heavenly Court in the Nine Heavens Chapter 1237: 186 Chapter – 187 Chapter Creating the Heavenly Court in the Nine Heavens The relationship between Heaven and Earth and a Cave Heaven Blessed Land is akin to that of a modern conglomerate and its subsidiary divisions.
Every Cave Heaven Blessed Land born within Heaven and Earth can be seen as a new subsidiary of the great conglomerate, Heaven and Earth.
If Pei Xuanjing and his fellow True Immortals held the Authority of the Great Ming World, they would be akin to shareholders and board members of this great conglomerate, Heaven and Earth.
Then, the Wielders of those Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, the Sects, and the mighty ones are the shareholders and CEOs of the subsidiary companies.
However, if the evolution of a Cave Heaven Blessed Land is the process of a subsidiary growing and developing, then its transformation into a Small Thousand World is essentially these subsidiaries growing strong enough to become independent, a step towards breaking away from the conglomerate's control.
Previously, while the conglomerate, Heaven and Earth, found the strengthening of these subsidiaries desirable–since, despite not having absolute control, they were still part of Heaven and Earth–
becoming a Small Thousand World meant these subsidiaries were seeking independence, a complete break from control, which was undesirable for the conglomerate, Heaven and Earth, for that would mean its investments had failed, resulting in total loss.
Though Heaven and Earth possessed will, they lacked sentience, and thus, could only reject this development, unable to directly intervene and prevent it.
What Pei Xuanjing and his kin were doing, in essence, was completely dismantling these subsidiaries, absorbing all their assets back into the great conglomerate, Heaven and Earth, to further enhance its foundation and make it stronger.
As the Wielders of the Heavenly Authority, these True Immortals would also reap greater benefits in the process.
Nevertheless, since these Cave Heaven Blessed Lands and subsidiaries were arduously established by various might figures, even in the case of a reorganization, Pei Xuanjing and his kin couldn't simply absorb everything from them–such gluttony would be too unsightly.
Therefore, in this process, their original Authority began to transform, becoming the embryo of the Heavenly Court and part of the future Authority of the Heavenly Court, and even if the share of this Authority lessened, it was a qualitative change.
Even without these Blessed Lands and Cave Heavens, those might figures who chose the Earth Immortal Path of evolution through the Blessed Lands and Cave Heavens would still obtain a share of the Heavenly Authority and could continue walking their Earth Immortal Path. They could merge with Heaven and Earth and also save much time by not needing to nurture civilizations, directly integrating into the civilization of the Great Ming World.
Of course, with every gain, there is a loss. The integration of the Earth Immortal Path and the evolution of the Blessed Land into Cave Heavens, and then into a Small Thousand World, meant transcending beyond Heaven and Earth and achieving autonomy.
Now, integrated into the Great Ming World, while they do not lose Authority and hold significant foundation, they also relinquish part of their autonomy and can no longer break away from the Great Ming World.
Such a choice is not something all might figures are willing to accept.
But!
The situation is stronger than the individual.
The will of Pei Xuanjing and his fellow True Immortals represents everything, and all must prioritize the greater picture.
When these might figures are unable to oppose the will of the True Immortals, Pei Xuanjing and his peers embody the grand strategy, and the rest can only comply.
The price of opposition is singular–they would be completely stripped of everything and lose it all.
Such is the harsh reality of cultivation–power dictates respect. Even if Pei Xuanjing chose not to act this way, other True Immortals would.
It is in fact because Pei Xuanjing was the one handling this matter that their Authority was even preserved to begin with; others might have been far more ruthless.
True Immortals cannot be taken lightly!
Do not think that just because True Immortals seem benevolent and kind on ordinary days, they are easy to speak with.
The True Immortals standing at the pinnacle of Heaven and Earth, which one didn't ascend from a mountain of corpses and a Sea of Blood? Even the Venerates of the Buddhism School are not weak or easily bullied.
The moment Pei Xuanjing's Sanbao Jade Ruyi struck the formative Heavenly Court, those mighty figures holding shares of the formative Heavenly Court understood everything, and they all chose to accept, with not a single foolhardy one to stand against the tide.
Just like when the two worlds merged, did the native Cultivators of the Sky Wasteland want it?
Not necessarily, since the Great Ming World was not their Ancestral Land and they held no special affinity for it. In fact, from their perspective, they might have preferred absorbing the Great Ming World into the Sky Wasteland.
But none of that mattered.
All these might figures could do was accept reality, and if they truly harbored the idea of independently carving out their own realm, they could always wait for the Future to open up new Small Thousand Worlds.
After all, beings of this level were aware of the future development direction of the Heavenly Court, and they could preemptively seek new worlds to wield Authority over, and eventually become independent.
Whether such actions were feasible or not, they still represented a viable option.
And in that moment, their identities underwent a transformation, from being part of a larger purpose to becoming that larger purpose themselves.
Boom rumble!
The Sanbao Jade Ruyi continued striking, turning the entire formative Heavenly Court into a state of Chaos, with all resources becoming the foundation of the Heavenly Court.
“Taoist Friends, I'm about to begin,” Pei Xuanjing said to the other True Immortals of the human race.
The next step was the most challenging one–it involved shattering the formative Heavenly Court and then using the Will of the Heaven and Earth to assimilate it, creating a veritable Heavenly Court that would stand proudly in Heaven and Earth.
