Chapter 1395: Chapters 1342-1343: Life Simulation–The Rain Clan's Frenzy_2 Chapter 1395: Chapters 1342-1343: Life Simulation–The Rain Clan's Frenzy_2 One must know that the Rain Clan's ability to establish a kingdom proves that they are not weak among the various God Clans. Even if the Rain Clan here is just a branch, the Demigod Strong who acted is not top-tier among those having ignited their Divine Fire, and cannot compare to powerhouses like the King of the Fire Country.
However, this is still a Demigod Strong of the God Clan, definitely not someone an ordinary human Demigod could defeat. Perhaps there are secrets they do not know of.
Considering the background of Suiming City, the City Lord Sui is the adopted son of the King of the Fire Country. Therefore, some powerhouses of the God Clan immediately assumed that he was a powerful figure sent by the King of the Fire Country to protect Suiming City.
While the retreat of the Rain Clan was somewhat shocking and unexpected to various God Clans, it did not diminish their curiosity. Instead, it increased their interest in why Suiming City had appeared here.
The secrets of the Fire Country might be unfamiliar to the Mortal Clan, but not to these God Clans. They all understand the succession of Kings in the Fire Country across generations.
Indeed, not just in the Fire Country, but similar situations exist in other nations as well. It seems these Kings can quickly reach their peak, but very few actually ascend to a Divine Position. However, the situation in other nations is somewhat better than in the Fire Country.
So these individuals are well aware that the King of the Fire Country has now reached his peak, but also that this is the most dangerous time. Therefore, the emergence of Suiming City, whether it is the King of the Fire Country's scheming, and what he is plotting for his own future preparations, has naturally drawn attention.
It has indeed attracted the scrutiny of many powerful figures, for in a world where Gods dwell high in the Divine Court, and only occasionally descend to the mortal world, Demi-God Peak Strong are already the epitome of the Mortal Realm. So, the scheming of a Demi-God Peak Strong, especially one who holds authority, would naturally draw notice.
Even when the news spread, those behind these God Clans, the Kings of various nations, all paid a bit of attention to it.
However, under such circumstances, since these forces did not have a clear understanding of the true details of Suiming City, they did not dare to make any rash moves. Instead, an eerie calm ensued.
What these God Clans did not know was that this was precisely the outcome Pei Xuanjing had hoped for. His goal was to use the Rain Clan to show off his power and to deter all sides.
These God Clans were not wrong in their conjecture about the situation. In fact, their assumptions about the King of the Fire Country's schemes were quite accurate.
However, they got one critical point wrong: the one who crushed the Rain Clan's forces and suppressed the Demigod of the Rain Clan was not a subordinate of the King of the Fire Country, it was Pei Xuanjing himself.
It had been twenty years since Pei Xuanjing had left the Royal Capital to develop this place. Even when he was in the Royal Capital, Pei Xuanjing was already capable of igniting the Divine Fire and ascending to the Demi-God Realm, but he chose not to do so in order to avoid drawing attention.
After arriving in Suiming City, even though he devoted most of his energy and time to the development and construction of the city, Pei Xuanjing's cultivation did not pause for an instant, even without deliberate cultivation.
With Pei Xuanjing's realm, even if he were to start over, the Cultivation Realm before ascending to a Divine Position, the accumulation and shackles that others worried about posed no problem for him; it was as if they did not exist at all.
After arriving in Suiming City, Pei Xuanjing naturally allowed the Primordial Qi within his body to condense continuously without any deliberate effort. This process naturally transformed it into Divine Power, after which he ignited the Divine Fire and ascended to the Demi-God Realm.
Even before Pei Xuanjing ascended to the Demi-God Realm, while only in the Communicating with God Realm, he was confident enough to suppress anyone at the peak of Demi-God Realm with the divine powers he mastered. This confidence was also the reason why Pei Xuanjing dared to stay in the Royal Capital–because he had the ability to protect himself.
Once he ignited the Divine Fire, the accumulation needed for the Demi-God Realm was effortless for Pei Xuanjing. In just a moment, he reached the peak of the Demi-God Realm once more.
Before Pei Xuanjing had stepped into the Demi-God Realm, he was confident he could suppress the Demi-God Peak King of the Fire Country. Now that he had ignited the divine fire and ascended to the Demi-God Realm, he had reached the very peak of this powerful state.
Even if true Gods descended today, with Pei Xuanjing's strength, he could contend against ordinary Gods, let alone a mere demigod from the Rain Clan?
Contrary to what some had speculated, that a fierce battle would ensue between the two demigods, with the City Lord of Suiming City eventually suppressing the demigod of the Rain Clan, the reality was that the Rain Clan had no time to react before being easily crushed by Pei Xuanjing.
As for the powerful commander of the army from the Rain Clan and their forces, Pei Xuanjing never personally intervened from beginning to end. He allowed the army he had trained to rout these enemies, and even cultivators from the Rain Clan at the Communicating with God Realm were slain by the soldiers.
Pei Xuanjing's arrival meant more than just additional cultivation methods for the many mortals of Suiming City, he also granted them the art of the war array.
The art of the war array, once the foundation of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty used to stabilize the nation and now employed by the Heavenly Court to suppress the world, was an exquisite method to coalesce the power of ordinary beings.
Particularly after the War of Sealing Gods, the fierce killings between the human race and the Demon Race, despite the countless casualties, prompted a transformation in the ways of war. The arrays created by the continuous efforts of many strong human combatants became the most formidable weapons.
By the end of the War of Sealing Gods, relying on the legions formed by the army and the art of the war array to face the enemy, they were still unable to contend with True Immortals, but they had become capable of suppressing cultivators of the Spirit Realm Eightfold. Even the Supreme Strong would find it perilous to fall into their midst, and though they might not lose their lives, a disgraceful defeat was inevitable.
And after the Enthroning Gods, many Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, having been granted authority, saw their strength enhanced, and the power originating from the same root further amplified the might of their war arrays, sufficient to suppress even the true Supreme Strong.
Though Pei Xuanjing had not fully mastered those things, even a rudimentary understanding and some inferences were enough to make the war array forged by the soldiers even more potent.
This was indeed Pei Xuanjing's greatest confidence. He did not need to take action himself; the legions formed by the soldiers were enough to contend with the armies of various God Clans without exposing himself.
While the other God Clans fell silent, the defeated Rain Clan was compelled to mobilize again, for such a failure was unbearable to them.
The status of the God Clan in this world was not merely boasted about; it was earned through strength. A God Clan's ability to stand steadfast in the world was a result of overpowering their enemies and emerging victorious.
This defeat, particularly the loss to a mere mortal faction and the mysterious disappearance of a demigod, was monumental for the Rain Clan. Yet, in such circumstances, they could neither afford nor choose to retreat.
If the Rain Clan showed weakness and retreated now, not only Suiming City but other God Clan forces would take notice.
The division between God Clan and Mortal Clan only indicates different levels, yet the internal strife and fights amongst the God Clan never cease, often more intense than the skirmishes between God Clans and Mortal Clans.
The other God Clans could see the Rain Clan's losses, and if they retreated, the rest would not hesitate to pounce, tearing apart their flesh, leading to their annihilation.
There need be no doubt about this, for when the Rain Clan had dealt with weaker God Clans in the past, they had done exactly this. Their might was built upon the bones of other races.
