Even True Immortal Strong couldn't ignore the rules when seeking benefits for their junior disciples; they had to maintain decorum and consider the views of Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing.
Unlike other powerhouses, these True Immortals knew much more about Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing.
All these True Immortals were aware that this person had already become a True Immortal thrice before, and this time, with the transformation of the Longevity World into the Yin Department of Netherworld, it was possible that he might once again achieve the Realm of Earth Immortal.
That was a significant possibility, and no one was willing to step out on behalf of others.
Therefore, these people could only accept the situation silently.
The appearance of Blood Fiend Ancestor caused the True Immortals of the Witch Deity Teaching to change their expressions slightly, but they dared not show any dissatisfaction, even if they harbored other thoughts; they had to suppress them.
The scenery of Underworld appeared instantly behind the Sea of Blood, forming the true Hell. Another strand of Creation Purple Qi descended from the sky, enveloping Blood Fiend Ancestor and making countless True Immortal Strong envious.
“Reincarnation has come into being, and in the future, it will be a major contention. Whoever controls Reincarnation essentially holds the lifeline of countless lives!”
This was the thought in the minds of many powerhouses, who understood that as the world continued to evolve and ascend, the stakes were becoming ever higher, and the potential of this newly formed Yin Department of Netherworld was in no way inferior to the Heavenly world, making it yet another key battleground for various forces.
However, as for the Underworld, they all knew that now was not the time to intervene, or rather, they could only follow the pre-existing agreement.
All of a sudden, Pei Xuanjing felt something and stepped into the Yin Department of Netherworld, came to the Reincarnation Stone, and with an outstretched finger, a palace appeared, followed by a figure that condensed out of thin air.
The instant this figure materialized, Honored God Hou Tu showed delight, Witch God Zhu Jiuyin appeared moved, Taisu Yuanjun, Fate Controller Star Lord, and many Innate Gods and Demons from Ancient Times each showed different expressions.
But in their eyes, there was a touch of gratitude and joy, seeing this familiar figure emerge. Regardless of their future positions, they currently rejoiced for this figure.
God-Devil of Reincarnation!
Once, he sacrificed himself and became the Reincarnation Stone, securing a slim chance of survival for the Innate Gods and Demons of Ancient Times. Today, with the opening of the Yin Department of Netherworld, he has finally returned.
True Immortal!
Born a True Immortal, many powerhouses, many Gods and Demons who had returned without yet setting foot on the Immortal Path, saw the aura around this person and their eyes shone with intense joy.
“From now on, I am Lady Pingxin of Reincarnation, as well as Granny Meng,” the gorgeous lady said, her figure shifting and transforming into the image of an old crone.
As she spoke, a palace emerged behind her. The once God-Devil of Reincarnation, now Lady Pingxin of Reincarnation, Granny Meng, met the gaze of many old friends and, with a flicker, entered her palace.
“Reincarnation!”
“Pingxin.”
While many True Immortals showed little reaction, among the returned Innate Gods and Demons, male deities remained silent, but figures like Taisu Yuanjun, Fate Controller Star Lord, and Honored God Hou Tu softly called out and followed into the palace.
Above the Heavenly world, the winds and clouds changed, and Yin and Yang revolved.
Emperor Jade stood tall before Lingxiao Treasure Palace, his imperial crown twinkling with Divine Light that illuminated the universe, his Emperor Robe flowing with the purple aura of Emperor's dignity. His imposing gaze seemed to break through the sky, descending into the depth of the Yin Department of Netherworld in Nine Netherworld.
“The Underworld, Netherworld, Reincarnation. The situation in this world is becoming more chaotic,” said Emperor Jade, his eyes reflecting a solemn expression.
The changes in this world were too rapid, even as a True Immortal himself, he felt far from controlling everything; on the contrary, everything in this world was changing so quickly that it felt like every moment, the pattern of the world was shifting.
It seems from the moment the world began to rejuvenate, followed by the merging of two realms, the birth of True Immortals, War of Sealing Gods, escape of the Demon Race, the human race establishing Heavenly Court, numerous True Immortals emerging, until now with the advent of the Underworld and Reincarnation.
“`
Every single event was making the pattern of the heavens and earth change so rapidly. Despite his swift growth, he was always a step away from the highest peak.
“Master Pei, it is truly difficult to discern what your intentions are…” Doubt surfaced in the eyes of the Jade Emperor.
Not to mention the attitudes of the old True Immortals, since the establishment of the Heavenly Court, many other True Immortals had been vying for authority with him. With the full support of Master Pei's Divine Tao Incarnation, the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, he had finally stabilized the situation in the Heavenly Court and seized some measure of control over its authority.
But the recent opening of the Nether Yin Department had undoubtedly allowed the one with the lowest profile among the Six Imperials, who followed the model of Hou Tu, the Earth God, to soar in strength and influence, becoming his greatest rival and posing a tremendous threat to him.
The North Pole Emperor Ziwei, who had been previously suppressed by the authority of the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life thanks to Master Pei, also took this chance to recover and gained more leeway to contend with him.
As the greatest benefactor to the opening of the Nether Yin Department, Master Pei should have been his greatest supporter, yet now he had also become an aid to his greatest enemy. This caused him to wonder, what was Pei Xuanjing's true purpose?
“Could it be that even you, Master Pei, do not wish to see me unify heaven and earth and become the truly deserving Emperor of Heaven?” speculated the Jade Emperor in his heart.
He knew his path to becoming the Emperor was not easy, especially in aiming to be the unrivaled Emperor of Heaven above and below, it was inevitable to attract dissatisfaction and obstruction from many. But he had not expected it to come so swiftly, nor that even his once greatest supporter would act to hinder him.
If it were in the past, the Jade Emperor might have sought out Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing for consultation, to probe the other's will and attitude.
But now, he hesitated.
Whether Pei Xuanjing had changed, he did not know, but the Jade Emperor knew one thing for certain: he himself had changed.
Once, before he had stepped onto the Immortal Path and even touched upon Longevity, even though he cultivated the Emperor's Path, he lacked the power to protect himself and his influence was meager.
But today, he had stepped onto the Immortal Path, gained the power of Immortality, and as the Heavenly Court Master, although not yet in complete control of the Heavenly Court, his position and authority meant that he and the Heavenly Court were one. Unless stripped of his rank and authority, as long as the Heavenly Court stood, he would not die.
In such circumstances, his mindset naturally underwent a change. As an emperor, he could no longer trust anyone unreservedly as he once did, or rather, he could not trust anyone without any guard up.
Therefore, upon witnessing the establishment of the Nether Yin Department, even if Master Pei had once led him onto this path and supported his ascent to these heights, he could not truly trust him without reservations.
An emperor was destined to be a solitary figure.
At this moment, the Jade Emperor profoundly understood the truth of this statement.
He realized that his future path was destined to make use of others' strengths, but ultimately, he could only rely on himself and trust no one completely.
And just then, the Jade Emperor received a piece of news.
The messenger was none other than the recently emerged Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing, who had established the Nether Yin Department.
What was key was not the messenger, but the message that had been delivered.
“All Gods have discovered a new world; please attend a meeting, Taoist Friends.”
A new world!
Excitement flickered in the Jade Emperor's eyes, and waves of emotion rose in his heart, a smile forming on his lips: “Has it finally appeared?”
After the founding of the Heavenly Court, once the Gods had stabilized their authority and realms, many True Immortals had acted, utilizing the power of the Gods Sealing List to search the Chaos Void for new worlds.
It was originally thought that finding a new world would be a lengthy process, yet, to everyone's surprise, within a few short centuries, a new world had been discovered.
