Chapter 480: Chapter 428: Showing sincerity, not afraid of his power

The emperor of Great Ming was originally chosen to be a lucky charm through the compromise of various forces, but who could have anticipated that this exceptionally clever, almost naturally born emperor, would grasp control of the entire court within just over ten years.

Besides, his exceptional talent in Refining Spirit is unparalleled, and he has now gathered his Divine Soul and is only half a step away from transforming into a Yin Spirit to rise to the Spirit Realm.

His view concurs with Pei Xuanjing’s; this skill seemed to be tailor-made for this emperor. He could be said to be the person in the world most suited to cultivate this skill.

Now that the Divine Dynasty is about to be established on earth, as the Emperor of Great Ming, he is undoubtedly the one who will benefit the most. If he also had this skill, he would be like a tiger growing wings, certain to soar up and stand among the strongest in the world.

In the past, this might have been alright, but once this emperor gains enough strength, would he sincerely cooperate with them?

Remember, all that they have done previously was to deprive power from the royal family of Great Ming. Once the emperor becomes strong again, he certainly will want to take back this power.

“Establishing the Divine Dynasty on earth was originally meant to cultivate more potent individuals. If you think too much, it’s better not to do it at all.” Pei Xuanjing said, shaking his head.

For Pei Xuanjing, he didn’t worry about the emperor’s increase in strength because even if the other party became stronger, he would still not be a match for him.

Moreover, he was willing to nurture the other party because of the latter’s means and wisdom. What he needed was a powerful Great Ming to promote his ideas and assist in his plans.

If the Emperor of Great Ming didn’t possess ambition and aspiration, and was merely a dim-witted and incompetent ruler, that would be what Pei Xuanjing would regret the most.

Looking at Bai Xiaosheng and the others, with a smile on his face, he said, “Even if his strength greatly increases, I have confidence in keeping him from having any unwarranted ideas.”

Seeing how confident Pei Xuanjing was, they felt helpless. However, they suggested that all of the skill should not be given to the emperor at once. They should keep part of it as a restraint.

“Why bother? If you want to cooperate, give it to him once. Why play the villain?” Pei Xuanjing shook his head, not agreeing with this viewpoint.

The cooperation between the two sides is still in the honeymoon phase. If they were unwilling to give this skill to the other side, it would be okay, and the other side could not say anything.

But if they only give half, clearly showing a defensive attitude, it is undoubtedly deliberately provoking the relationship between the two parties, adding rifts.

They would rather give all of it directly, letting the choice be up to the other party, so that if there is a disagreement in the future, there will be no unjust accusations.

The two held a reserved attitude towards Pei Xuanjing’s viewpoint, but they did not continue to obstruct it excessively.

After the two left, the emperor also came in person to see Pei Xuanjing at the Taoist Temple the next day.

The two hadn’t seen each other for several years, and the emperor seemed mature, just as Pei Xuanjing had heard. The emperor had already gathered his Divine Soul and was just a step away from becoming a Yin Spirit.

Of course, in the emperor’s eyes, the transformation of Pei Xuanjing was earth-shaking. With his increase in strength and the years spent controlling the court, Emperor Jiajing believed he had matured sufficiently and would not be overly moved by anything.

However, upon seeing Pei Xuanjing, he was still so shocked in his heart, he couldn’t contain himself. The Pei Xuanjing before him gave him a feeling of awe and immeasurable depth. It seemed that as his own strength increased, the gap between the two of them had not narrowed but instead became even greater.

Undoubtedly, the emperor’s original thoughts evaporated in the face of this, at least when facing the current Pei Xuanjing, he knew better not to harbor any thoughts.

“Since you are about to break through to the Spirit Realm, this skill is the most suitable for you.” Pei Xuanjing lifted his robe lightly, and a book flew out from his sleeve, floating in front of Emperor Jiajing.

Seeing Pei Xuanjing act like this, with no trace of worldly manners, Emperor Jiajing’s pupils slightly contracted. He realized this was a reflection of the ultimate mastery of power, and his heart was astonished.

He did not show any surprise on his face, just reached out to take the book. Before he looked at it, he first thanked him, “Thank you, Master Pei, for your concern.”

Pei Xuanjing smiled and said nothing, indicating that he could read the book first.

Emperor Jiajing nodded. He had longed for the process of Refining Spirit in the Spirit Realm for a long time, so he couldn’t wait to open the book, not minding anything at this moment.

He was completely immersed in the skill from the first glance.

After a long time, Emperor Jiajing regained his composure. His eyes were filled with anticipation. He wished he could immediately issue an imperial edict to prepare for this matter.

The Incense Fire supreme-ruler Refining Skill, using Incense Faith to strengthen the Yin Spirit, although currently, this skill only reaches the Spirit Realm Sixth Level. According to the founder, this skill can even make one Become Immortal when it is fully cultivated.

Becoming Immortal!

The color of longing appeared in Emperor Jiajing’s eyes. Legends tell of immortals, they are immortal and everlasting in the world, which is exactly what he desires most.

The sacrifices he has made, disregarding all the controversy, and choosing to cooperate with Master Pei, isn’t it in pursuit of the possibility of longevity?

Now that Pei Xuanjing has placed this opportunity before him, his gratitude for Pei Xuanjing almost reaches a peak.

“Master Pei, for such a great kindness, I, Ziji, am eternally grateful.” At this moment, Emperor Jiajing no longer used the royal “I”, but the Taoist name Pei Xuanjing had given him when they first met.

Pei Xuanjing smiled and said nothing.

The two discussed the next steps of the plan for the Divine Dynasty on earth, and then Pei Xuanjing introduced Mr. Wu to the other party, asking the mysterious Mr. Wu to join this plan.

In Pei Xuanjing’s view, it’s better to be active than passive, no matter what purpose they have. Since they have joined, they should make full use of it. Only by making them act could he judge and guess their goals based on their actions. If they were always staying by his side, it’s feared that there wouldn’t be any gain.

Mr. Wu probably also saw the intention of Pei Xuanjing’s arrangement and happily agreed. He returned to Palace City with Emperor Jiajing.

In the following days, Pei Xuanjing refined Taoyun in the Taoist Temple every day. Apart from cultivating, he didn’t leave the Taoist Temple.

This action of his caused the eyebrows of many influential people to furrow slightly, but they were helpless.

Although Pei Xuanjing was in seclusion, the actions of the Great Ming imperial court never stopped. In fact, their actions became more frequent.

Just one day after Emperor Jiajing left, he first invited several kings and lords of the royal family, then convened several Council Elders of the dynasty, and some dukes among the Noble Officials, to discuss matters together in the newly constructed Yangxin Palace. Lin Qingyi, the commander of the Brocade Guards, personally led the guards, not allowing anyone to approach.
