Chapter 619: Chapter 569: Difficult to Stand Alone

Indeed, the person that Emperor Zhu Houji and Wu Shijiu came to see late at night was none other than Pei Xuanjing, who they had discussed earlier.

Since it became known that Pei Xuanjing had emerged from seclusion, how many people wanted to visit Pei Xuanjing, to consult with him, to understand the recent status of this revered Master of the Nation.

However, apart from his direct disciple, Pang Hong, all other visitors were rejected by him. No one was granted permission to meet him. This included even the request of Zhu Houji, the emperor himself of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.

Zhu Houji wanted to see Pei Xuanjing, to know about some matters, and to understand his Master Pei’s views on the upcoming situation.

After all, with the imminent return of numerous forces from the Sky Wasteland, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty and Pei Xuanjing’s situation were very similar. As they were all in the same boat, they had to communicate with each other to see how to cope with the situation and prepare some contingency plans.

Regrettably, Master Pei did not seem to be in a hurry and directly refused his visit.

At this, although Zhu Houji was displeased, he was helpless. After all, such a powerful person is not bound by him, and he has no say in what the other party wants to do.

However, just now, while he was cultivating, he received a message from Master Pei, inviting him to come to this Star-Viewing Platform.

Originally, he thought that the only person Master Pei invited was him. However, when he saw Wu Shijiu in the outer hall, he realized that Pei Xuanjing had invited more than just him.

“I apologize for inviting you here so late at night,” Pei Xuanjing turned around, smiling at the two of them.

“Many people in the world are longing for a chance to meet Master Pei, but fail to do so. It’s my great fortune to have the opportunity to be specially invited by Master Pei, how could I possibly take offense?” Zhu Houji responded with a smile, shaking his head.

Although he was somewhat displeased with Pei Xuanjing’s initial refusal of his visit, as an emperor, his anger did not show on his face. How could he reveal any dissatisfaction at this moment?

He did not reveal any hint of his past dissatisfaction, but rather put on a smiling face, as if none of the previous events had happened.

“Your Majesty is right. I consider it a great honor to meet Master Pei,” said Wu Shijiu, with a cheerful expression.

“Both of you, please sit!”

With a smile on his face, Pei Xuanjing didn’t dwell on this issue, but flicked his sleeves. Chairs made of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi materialized behind each of them.

He also turned and sat down himself, mingling infinite starlight with Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, a chair formed behind him.

The three of them each took a seat, arranged in a triangle. The stars twinkling overhead gave a unique flavor to the scene atop the Star-Viewing Platform.

“It seems that your seclusion this time has yielded great results, Master Pei,” said Wu Shijiu after sitting down, the light in his eyes flickering as he looked at the noble and composed Pei Xuanjing and hazarded a guess.

Even now, although the two of them were only a few feet apart, Wu Shijiu found that he still couldn’t fully understand or see through Pei Xuanjing.

With his eighth level of the Spirit Realm and the special secret methods cultivated from the Witch Deity Teaching, other cultivators at the seventh and eighth levels of the Spirit Realm would be fully exposed in his eyes.

However, Pei Xuanjing appeared incredibly mysterious to him right now. More bluntly, Wu Shijiu couldn’t even be sure whether the person in front of him was a clone or the real body.

“Taoist Friend also made some progress recently, didn’t you?” Pei Xuanjing did not respond directly but with a smile asked instead.

The cards of this mysterious Mr. Wu were unexpectedly laid bare before him. Even Pei Xuanjing was a little surprised that this self-proclaimed descendant of the Witch Deity Teaching turned out to be a strong being at the eighth level of the Spiritual Realm.

A cultivator of the eighth level of the Spiritual Realm who could arrive in the Daming World at that time, regardless of the reason and explanation, unquestionably paid a huge price.

Under such a huge price, what kind of return would satisfy his gain?

Pei Xuanjing had no idea. There was one thing that could be affirmed, the secret of the other party was certainly not small.

“Haha, compared to Master Pei, my gains are still somewhat lacking,” Wu Shijiu laughed and veered away from the topic.

However, from Pei Xuanjing’s response just now, he could confirm one thing in common with his own guess, that during this seclusion Pei Xuanjing must have made considerable gains, likely reaching the eighth level of the Spiritual Realm or having some major background. This was why he seemed so nonchalant.

Pei Xuanjing did not have much desire or intention to pry into the secrets of Wu Shijiu. There were too many secrets in the world, and every powerful person had their own secrets.

These secrets are important, but for someone at the status of Pei Xuanjing now, he was not too curious about these secrets. He was more interested in exploring the mysteries of Becoming Immortal. If Wu Shijiu’s secrets were related to Becoming Immortal, he might be interested. If not, he would not care.

He turned his gaze to Zhu Houji and, with a smile, said: “Now that the Divine Dynasty is prosperous and the Emperor’s power is rising, with the Golden Book and Jade Scroll in hand, it would be difficult for the many powerful forces in the Sky Wasteland to oppose your Majesty, right?”

Although he had not seen Zhu Houji before, Pei Xuanjing was quite clear about what Zhu Houji wanted to know from him.

However, with the Great Ming Divine Dynasty growing in power and the energy redirected from the life simulation during his enclosed cultivation, the power of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll was once again increased. This gave a significant advantage to Zhu Houji, the Emperor of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.

Although Zhu Houji seemed unremarkable to others, only Pei Xuanjing, who also possesses the Golden Book and the Jade Scroll, knew the extent of his power. With the Golden Book and Jade Scroll at hand, coupled with the amplification of the Divine Position and the blessings of the Capital city, ordinary cultivators at the seventh level of the Spiritual Realm could be easily suppressed. Even those at the eighth level of the Spiritual Realm, unless they could overthrow the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, could not harm him.

Thinking of this, Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but admire the Divine Dynasty Method. With the support of the entire Divine Dynasty, it was indeed a fast track to increasing strength with little downside.

“But, Master Pei, with the return of countless forces from the Sky Wasteland, I alone fear I may not be able to hold up,” Despite having such power, which was a delight to others, it only increased the pressure on Zhu Houji.
