Chapter 1369: Chapters 1316-1317 Just Like That Fire Virtue's Disappointment_2 Chapter 1369: Chapters 1316-1317 Just Like That Fire Virtue's Disappointment_2 Thus, the Great Flame Emperor's confrontation did not result in the overwhelming advantage he had envisioned, and he was unable to subdue the Fire Virtue Star Lord; rather, he was suppressed by the Star Lord.
In this predicament, if the fight were to continue, not to mention seizing the divine fire of the Fire Virtue Star Lord, he might have even lost his own life. Therefore, at this moment, he put aside his pride and sought the assistance of the Ice Emperor.
The Ice Emperor and the Great Flame Emperor, standing as allies, although the Ice Emperor found it amusing to see the usually arrogant Great Flame Emperor in such a sorry state, he decisively intervened.
“Ice Sealed Myriad Miles!” exclaimed the Ice Emperor as he pushed out with both palms, and suddenly, the world turned into a vast expanse of white, with temperatures plummeting rapidly.
Ice Sealed Myriad Miles was the Ice Emperor's martial technique, with his palms dispatching, invoking celestial phenomena, and using frigid ice to seal a region spanning thousands of miles.
The firmament where the three stood was initially ablaze with fire due to the battle between the Great Flame Emperor and Fire Virtue Star Lord, turning the heavens a deep red.
Now, as the Ice Emperor made his move, white frost covered and sliced through the firmament, segmenting the sky fire at its center. Endless chill turned into ice dragons, rushing towards the wings of the Honghu Divine Bird manifested by the Fire Virtue Star Lord, attempting to ensnare and encase the Divine Bird in ice.
“Heh, two against one, I still hold no fear. Honghu, spread your wings!” The battle spirit in the eyes of Fire Virtue Star Lord rose as he activated the Fire Spirit Bead enhancing the power of the Nanming Li Fire even further.
The moment the ice dragons attacked the Honghu Divine Bird, its wings spread wide, and with a piercing cry that echoed through the heavens, the flames of Nanming Li Fire soared high, seemingly burning everything, turning the sky into a world of flames.
Nanming Li Fire, the fire from the pre-heavenly Eight Trigrams displacement, burns all worldly things, slaying all evil!
The Dharma Appearance of the Honghu Divine Bird began to dissipate, and boundless flames enveloped the whole world. Within these flames, a divine creature was born, inheriting the essence of fire, a supreme deity naturally born from fire, the God of Fire.
The Honghu Dharma Body descended once again, a presence not the slightest bit inferior to that of a Great Emperor, hence even with the Ice Emperor and the Great Flame Emperor joining forces, the Fire Virtue Star Lord was utterly fearless.
Originally, the Honghu Dharma Body possessed by the Fire Virtue Star Lord was extremely powerful. After Pei Xuanjing helped him refine the Fire Spirit Bead, he used the Bead as a foundation, making this Dharma Body even stronger.
The four figures battled fiercely in the heavens, each deploying martial techniques and divine abilities, causing the firmament to crack and space to shatter.
It could be said that though battles erupted in all four directions of the Myriad Laws Mountain's Guiding Altar, if one were to really measure the scale, it was the side of Fire Virtue Star Lord that was the most intense and vast.
“With the Fire Spirit Bead, the Honghu Dharma Body in no way falls short of a true True Immortal Strong. Moreover, although the previous Honghu Dharma Body was powerful, it was ultimately a conjured entity, and against a strong opponent, it could be dispersed with powerful forces.”
“But with the Fire Spirit Bead as the base, its source being the Bead, it can continuously absorb the fire elemental powers from the heavens and earth. Even if it is shattered, as long as the Fire Spirit Bead exists, it can instantly reconstitute. If one day the Fire Virtue Star Lord can embody more authority of the Great Path of Fire, this Honghu Dharma Body might truly unleash strikes, similar to my own incarnation of Divine Tao.”
Atop Myriad Laws Mountain, Pei Xuanjing sensed the confrontation between the Fire Virtue Star Lord and those two Great Ancient Emperors and felt enlightened.
Although he had helped refine the Fire Spirit Bead, Pei Xuanjing had not actually seen the Honghu Dharma Body being deployed; his actions were based on his own deductions.
But now, having witnessed the Honghu Dharma Body's actions, Pei Xuanjing naturally grasped its essence and instinctively envisioned the future development path of this Dharma Body of the Fire Virtue Star Lord.
Of course, the path for development was clear, but the extent to which it could grow, apart from the Fire Virtue Star Lord's own efforts, depended a)”
To know that Pei Xuanjing could easily strike off the current Divine Tao incarnation of the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, it was because from the very beginning, he had taken the initiative. From the moment he started refining the Divine Position of Jade Purity True Monarch, no one could compete with him.
Therefore, everything developed very smoothly for Pei Xuanjing afterwards, and he easily obtained the title of the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, even taking the Thunderbolt Law into his own hands, allowing him to use Heaven's Decree Slash to cut out this incarnation during the Enthroning Gods.
However, the Fire Virtue Star Lord was different. There were more strong cultivators who pursued the Great Path of Fire than the Thunder Path, and he also did not possess the overwhelming power that Pei Xuanjing had to dominate the world. Therefore, when refining the Fire Path authority, it was inevitably fraught with difficulties.
In Pei Xuanjing's view, the Fire Virtue Star Lord might find ways to acquire a portion of the Fire Path authority currently dispersed among many powerful beings, but to secure it all would be extremely difficult.
“However, nothing is inevitable. When one arrives in this particular world, there exists a sliver of possibility,” Pei Xuanjing's gaze turned towards the position of the Fire Virtue Star Lord, understanding his intentions.
Indeed, in the Great Ming World the Fire Virtue Star Lord could not consolidate the Fire Path Authority and would face many obstacles, but in this particular realm, things were different. Although the Great Flame Emperor existed in this place, he had not consolidated the Fire Path authority.
The Fire Virtue Star Lord at least had the advantage in this world. If he were capable of eliminating the Great Flame Emperor today and used the opportunity to certify his status at the Emperor Realm, even if the strong ones from the Heavenly Court arrived, they would be behind him.
He could completely consolidate the Fire Path authority in this particular world, and even if, in the future, this world merged into the Great Ming World and the authority diminished, he would still hold a corresponding part of the Fire Path authority, a lever to acquire more.
This, however, was not easy. Though these heavenly powerhouses were a step behind, they would absolutely not just stand by and watch such significant interests handed over to others.
In Pei Xuanjing's view, for the Fire Virtue Star Lord's schemes to truly materialize, he would inevitably need to make sacrifices, much like consolidating the Authority of Slaughter, relinquishing a part.
Otherwise, these powerful beings might find it difficult to succeed, but causing disruption could become much simpler.
However, this was all for the Fire Virtue Star Lord to consider, irrelevant to Pei Xuanjing, who never interfered in these disputes among men.
Pei Xuanjing had reached this day gaining the support of so many not just because of his extraordinary strength, and not only because he had indeed made significant contributions, but more so because he never lightly involved himself in the disputes over interests among Cultivators.
Given Pei Xuanjing's status and strength, he was fully qualified and capable of intervening in many of these cultivators' disputes, even to handle some matters fairly, yet Pei Xuanjing never did.
Because the word “fair” is always relative. Perhaps from Pei Xuanjing's perspective, everything he did was fair to both sides of the interest tangle.
However, from the perspective of the parties involved, it was not necessarily so. Either side might harbor grudges internally but, due to Pei Xuanjing's imposing influence, dared not object.
After all, each person stands at a different level and sees things completely differently.
For the parties that Pei Xuanjing mediated, even though he considered his treatment of them equal, it inherently meant inequality, or perhaps Pei Xuanjing's very existence was beyond their level.
Under such influence, no matter what the final outcome, they would predetermine it as influenced by Pei Xuanjing, fostering a backlash against the result–an utterly counterproductive effect.
Therefore, regarding such thankless tasks, Pei Xuanjing never intervened, instead letting them act on their own. As long as the outcome did not violate the rules he had set, he let everything take its natural course.
