Chapter 311: Chapter 248: Trying the Path of Earth Immortal?

Actually, there was another reason. Daoist Xuanming did not truly cultivate this skill to the peak state. Especially when facing rare formidable characters in the martial world such as Yang Tinghe, trying to use the Soul Stealing hypnosis to uncover the secrets deep in their hearts was extremely difficult.

Considering the steadfast will of such a strong character, unless they are defeated in an invincible stance like Pei Xuanjing did today, agitated and scrambled, not having been exposed to such a skill before, and caught off guard, Daoist Xuanming would’ve had the upper hand.

Moreover, such secrets are some of the most concealed matters in Yang Tinghe’s heart, which can hardly be obtained easily.

After listening to Daoist Xuanming’s explanation, Pei Xuanjing nodded in understanding: “I was being greedy. ”

He understood that the Soul Stealing technique was similar to hypnosis in his previous life, but it was not an all-powerful move.

Just from the perspective of the previous life, one way to cope with someone using hypnosis to divulge their secrets, some people would set up something similar to an ‘alarm’ for their deepest secrets. Once triggered, immediate defensive reactions would ensue.

“No matter what, this news is significant and must be kept confidential for the time being. If it gets out, it might cause a huge uproar, sending a frenzy throughout the entire martial world.” Pei Xuanjing instructed Daoist Xuanming.

Indeed, treasures from forbidden places in the blessed land could assist martial artists in advancing to the Upper Three Realms, but because once a treasure is refined, if you don’t have a larger opportunity, it is impossible to advance further, and therefore is often regarded as a chicken rib by many.

Aside from martial artists who feel that there is no room for growth or those second-generation descendants with inadequate martial-inherited skill, most confident martial artists would rather wait for several years at one realm rather than yearn for a moment’s speed and choose to refine these treasures.

Therefore, at this point, although the treasures found in these blessed forbidden places are useful, most martial artists, especially the strong ones, don’t care about them.

However, if this news does get out, it’ll be like throwing a boulder into a calm lake, leading to unimaginable consequences.

“Taoist friend, rest assured, I will most definitely keep this matter confidential.” Daoist Xuanming replied solemnly, then smile: “Moreover, this news has not yet been confirmed as of now, so we’re still not sure if it’s true or false, right?”

After all, until now, who knows how many martial artists struggling at the First-grade stage feel lost, and the appearance of such an opportunity might drive them mad.

Furthermore, regardless of whether this matter is true or false, it needs to be controlled in their hands. Whoever gets wind of such a massive secret would not readily reveal such a huge benefit. Pei Xuanjing said leisurely, “Actually, whether this news is accurate or not, perhaps we can give it a

“Give it a try?” Daoist Xuanming asked curiously.

Pei Xuanjing smiled mysteriously “If you can find a piece of one of these treasures, I might be able to unlock its secret.” “Which kind?”

“The lowest grade will do.”

“That’s easy.” Daoist Xuanming said nonchalantly.

With the strength of Baiyun Temple, acquiring the top-tier treasures may not be easy, but getting the lowest grade one just took a little effort and they could definitely find one.

“That’s more than enough.” Pei Xuanjing showed a smile.

He was thinking if he had a piece of a treasure but didn’t use it immediately. Instead, he started a life simulation. Would things change in his simulated life? Would he refine the treasure in the life simulation?

Although the course of life in the simulation can be slightly influenced by human factors, and it won’t harm Pei Xuanjing. Even if there were repercussions in the simulation, Pei Xuanjing can just abandon the idea of refining the treasure.

However, if the refining of the treasure in the simulation turns out with no consequences but instead aids cultivation, it would definitely be good news for Pei Xuanjing.

Daoist Xuanming didn’t know what Pei Xuanjing was thinking. He thought that Pei Xuanjing was going to try it personally, and quickly said: “Taoist friend, you must not act recklessly.”

With the impending revival of heaven and earth, there was no need to persist on this path.

That is why even after knowing this news, Daoist Xuanming was not overly excited.

Pei Xuanjing nodded: “I have everything arranged, and I will not act recklessly.”

Listening to Pei Xuanjing’s confidence, Daoist Xuanming didn’t say more.

Every strong person, or those who have reached their state, have a mighty ego. They would not be easily swayed by the words of others.

Even though he and Pei Xuanjing were allies, on the topic of cultivation, they could discuss, but absolutely no one could affect a peer’s path. This was an unspoken taboo.

At this moment, Yu Zhenzi timely appeared, adeptly deviating from the topic.

Yu Zhenzi came to the jade platform: “Yu Zhenzi sends his respects to the Sect Master and Master Guan.”

Pei Xuanjing pulled out a letter from his sleeve and threw it to him: “Deliver this letter to the Minister from the Ministry of War.”

“Yes!” Yu Zhenzi took the letter and turned to leave.

Waiting for Yu Zhenzi to leave, Daoist Xuanming looked at the moon in the sky and couldn’t help but say, “While you cultivate leisurely here, I suspect many people in the capital can’t get to sleep tonight.”

He couldn’t help but think that it was fortunate they were allies and not enemies. If they had such an opponent, it would be a disaster for Baiyun Temple.

Pei Xuanjing smiled faintly: “Are you the same, Taoist friend?”

Daoist Xuanming did not hide his joy, laughed and said, “That’s true, I too am one of those who can’t sleep.”

He paused, and asked Pei Xuanjing, “I wonder what Prince of Xiang, Zhu Yousong, and Taoist Qingxu have said?”

“You are asking what you already know.” Pei Xuanjing glanced at him and said, “They merely see that no one can control me, so they wanted to draw the True Martial Sect in to balance out my power.” This kind of tactic from the royal family was well within their expectation and not a surprise.

In Pei Xuanjing’s view, the royal family directly inviting Qingxu was a blatant statement to him and the decision-makers of all parties that they were going to cooperate closely with the True Martial Sect.

“But I’m afraid the royal family never dreamt that the True Martial Sect has already joined forces with us.” Daoist Xuanming laughed.

The royal family wanted to draw the True Martial Sect into the picture to check and balance Pei Xuanjing, but they never realized that Pei Xuanjing and the True Martial Sect were allies with ties even closer than those with the royal family..
