Chapter 618: Chapter 568: Belong to the Same Fairy God?

Tiandu, within the Taoist Academy.

Pei Xuanjing was toying with the Sanbao Jade Ruyi in his hand, his expression serene, pondering something unknown.

At this moment, he was the only one in the small courtyard of the Taoist Academy. Deer Elder had been arranged to do some things outside, and Pang Hong also had other matters to tend to, so naturally, he wouldn’t come to greet Pei Xuanjing every day.

Thus, Pei Xuanjing returned to his favored days of solitude, practicing Taoist Skills and reading skill books every day, accumulating Taoist charm. His life was quite pleasant.

This state of his was entirely different from what many people expected. After all, in the eyes of many, with the approach of the strong from Tianhuang, Pei Xuanjing, being the world’s number one, should be under great pressure and constantly on the move.

But judging from Pei Xuanjing’s current condition, it seemed that these things had no effect on him at all, as if there was no need for him to worry about them.

Indeed, there was no pressure in Pei Xuanjing’s heart toward the imminent return of the forces from the Sky Wasteland, nor was there any need for pressure.

With Pei Xuanjing’s current Spirit Realm Eightfold, coupled with the amplifying power of the Divine Position, and the Power of Incense Fire that has been stored up, Pei Xuanjing’s combat strength could even challenge the strongest of the Nine Realms of Spirit, and he would no longer have the kind of urgent worry as before.

Of course, having real power to protect oneself and the right to speak doesn’t mean Pei Xuanjing can now lie back completely and stop striving at all. Instead, Pei Xuanjing now has more considerations and more things to plan.

Upon reaching Pei Xuanjing’s state, what he needs to consider is no longer the situation of the world. What he needs to think about next is: Becoming Immortal!

Becoming Immortal!

Yes, Pei Xuanjing now has the qualifications to consider becoming immortal and seek the possible path to the Immortal Dao.

If the clues about the method of becoming an immortal and the theory of immortality that Pei Xuanjing had previously obtained were only gleaned from small pieces of information, then Pei Xuanjing now has the real qualifications to explore the Immortal Dao.

In this period, Pei Xuanjing is organizing his understanding and cognition of the Immortal Dao he has obtained. The first thing he wants to do is to form a definite cognition of the Immortal Dao Realm in his mind.

Sometimes, some things are not so mysterious and mystical, but just because they have not been in contact, never understood them, makes them seem unreachable and difficult to comprehend.

First, what is the so-called Fairy God.

The term Fairy God is vague. Immortal is immortal, and God is God. Immortals and Gods are not the same realm, and what they mean are entirely different manifestations.

According to Pei Xuanjing’s understanding, immortals and gods, though both are eternally living in the world, indestructible. The immortal seeks freedom and transcendence; the god seeks to guard and exist, seeking authority.

Of course, the difference between immortals and gods does not mean that immortals and gods confront and exclude each other. Since they are called Fairy Gods, it means that immortals and gods have similar commonalities.

Immortals and Gods are opposing yet unified; their identities can be mutually converted. An immortal who has authority and chooses to guard can become a God. And a God who steps towards loneliness and chooses a carefree life can become an immortal.

…

These are Pei Xuanjing’s perceptions of Fairy Gods, and they do not represent everyone’s perception.

After all, in the cognition of many people or powerful beings, Fairy God represents status, immortality, and one’s own eternal detachment.

The difference of Fairy God, the commonality of Fairy God, all of this is filled with much mystery, and there is much to explore and find out.

As Pei Xuanjing has got to this stage, he gradually has an outline of his understanding of Fairy God. He needs to continually try and explore how to transform himself and step into the legendary Immortal Dao Realm.

“The Divine Kingdom project, perhaps it can be tried out,” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.

Initially, he proposed to continuously open branches of the Taoist Academy throughout the world, then establish his own statues to differentiate spiritual consciousness, then try to perfect the method of the Divine Kingdom that he had tested.

Even after experiencing the life simulation and enhancing his strength again, he did not choose to immediately carry out this plan, opting instead to settle down and reorganize his state and thoughts.

It is worth noting that when Pei Xuanjing was projected into the Great Wilderness World as the emperor during the life simulation, he also made such an attempt. But perhaps due to some reasons and deficiencies, the Divine Kingdom that Pei Xuanjing promoted in the Wasteland World was not exactly a success. The final result was only countless divine temples left in the territory of the Great Wilderness human race, which brought him countless Power of Incense Fire. But compared to what he had envisioned for his Divine Kingdom, it was not a success.

In recent days, Pei Xuanjing has been reflecting on and thinking about the oversights in the original plan, trying to find and fill in the gaps, and see exactly where he fell short.

Given the current situation, he has only one chance to try. If he fails, he may not have the opportunity to try again, as many things cannot be repeated.

If he fails this time, not only will it lead to the loss of many years of accumulation, but the return of the strong from the Tianhuang Borderland will not give him another chance to try.

“Everything is just waiting for the right time,” thought Pei Xuanjing to himself.

At this moment, he seemed to think of something, a faint smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.

…

The Imperial City, in the great hall where Zhu Houji was cultivating.

Zhu Houji, who was in the middle of cultivation, suddenly stopped what he was doing, as if sensing something, and looked outwards. He got up and walked towards the outer hall.

When Zhu Houji entered the outer hall, he saw that Wu Shijiu also seemed to have sensed something and had appeared there as well. They looked at each other, neither of them saying anything, and then headed towards a certain place.

The Star-Viewing Platform, a tower in the Imperial City for observing celestial phenomena. Most of the time, it was used by Bai Xiaosheng, the Superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. But after Bai Xiaosheng had gone into retreat, this place had become vacant and was temporarily unused.

But tonight, Emperor Zhu Houji and Wu Shijiu came here together. They were quiet and undisturbed, and even many of their guards were stopped from following.

By the time the two came here, they saw a Taoist in a dark brown robe with his back to them. The Taoist was holding a three-foot-long, glowing Sanbao Jade Ruyi in his hand, looking up at the sky, watching the infinite vast expanse of stars in the heavens.

“Disciple pays respects to Master Pei!”

“I pay my respects to the National Teacher!”
