Chapter 329: Chapter 266: Reactions from All Sides

Translator: 549690339

On the Taihe Mountain, the impact and influence stirred up by the likes of Pei Xuanjing were far beyond their own expectations, truly unimaginable.

It can be said that in his life simulation sessions, Pei Xuanjing’s description of this period falls severely short of encapsulating such a grand spectacle, it can even be said to lack by a factor of ten thousand.

Of course, these circumstances were within Pei Xuanjing’s expectations, as the actual operation this time, unlike the actions taken during the life simulation, involved several top-tier figures from the Jianghu realm.

In the end, it was Pei Xuanjing himself, who had already transformed into a Yin Spirit, who stepped in, utilizing the power of all beings, to break the chains and genuinely rejuvenate Heaven and Earth.

Pei Xuanjing’s words, transmitted through the Divine Intent Array to the entire territory of Great Ming, spread his reputation far and wide after that move. His popularity reached such a height that he became a household name.

Of course, as a result of this, their previous plan to form an alliance was also laid bare for all to see.

Pei Xuanjing, representing the Shenxiao Sect, joined forces with the True

Martial Sect, Dragon Tiger Mountain, Baiyun Temple, Chunyang Sect, and Bai Xiaosheng, forming a six-party alliance and employed the array method passed down from the Shenxiao Sect to enfeoff the Gods and break the sky-earth shackles.

Amidst this opportunity, Pei Xuanjing broke free from his own shackles, transformed into a Yin Spirit, passed through the Thunder Tribulation, and stepped into the Spirit Realm, becoming the first to do so in the thousands of years after the Tang Dynasty.

All this news immediately spread throughout the Jianghu realm of Great Ming, leaving countless martial artists agog and in awe.

However, when these news reached the major powers, they were even more alarmed than the ordinary martial artists. They began to silently strengthen their forces, secretly aligning with closely related forces, eager to know Pei Xuanjing’s true intentions.

It’s important to remember that whether it’s Pei Xuanjing’s Shenxiao Sect or other powers like the True Martial Sect, any one of them, even without the alliance, can be considered a force of the highest order in the Jianghu realm, capable of ruling a province and influencing the world’s order.

But now, with their six-party alliance, their terrifying strength was enough to sway the course of the entire Great Ming Empire, which would undoubtedly horrify anyone who thought about it.

Of course, some people noticed that of these six forces, apart from Bai Xiaosheng’s faction, the remaining five belonged to the Taoist School.

If viewed from this lens, countless people are intrigued by what this could mean, and reminded of the never-ending power struggle among the Taoist, Brahman, and Demonic factions throughout millenniums.

Since the establishment of the Great Ming Empire, the Demonic Cult had laid low, the Brahman Gate had retreated, and the Taoist School’s influence had grown. Although very few conflicts among the three factions ever surfaced, no one believed that the struggle among the three factions would genuinely cease.

Considering this, not only did some slightly weaker forces in the Taoist faction sent out inquiries, even the South and North Zen Sects and other major Brahman factions also secretly increased their communications, showing signs of preventing a possible crisis.

Even the inner fights within the Demonic Cult, which had been ongoing and remained a matter of public knowledge, temporarily ceased. The factions within the Demonic Cult gathered at the Sky Demon Sect, discussing measures to ward off potential attacks.

Of course, the most shocked were the royal family.

They never expected that the True Martial Sect would ally with Pei Xuanjing, they were utterly dumbfounded.

All the concessions they had previously offered to the True Martial Sect in hopes of them offsetting Shenxiao Sect’s power were in vain.

Looking back now, not only did their plan fail, but they had also invited the wolf into their home, they deeply regretted their decision.

The consequences led to some criticisms of Prince of Xiang, Zhu Yousong, who had advocated the concessions at the time, although his reputation within the royal family did not completely plummet.

As time flew by, three years passed in a blink of an eye.

Ever since that day on Taihe Mountain where several strong men from the Taihe Mountain True Martial Sect set up the array to break the sky-earth shackles, the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth had been rapidly recovering. For everyone in this world, this was undoubtedly good news.

Those strong men trapped in the First-grade Realm for countless ages who were unable to make progress, felt as if the shackles had been lifted and sensed an opportunity for breakthrough once the sky-earth shackles were removed.

For the common martial artists, the increase in the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth considerably aided their cultivation. Many martial artists, who were initially restricted due to their aptitude or resources, began to loosen their realms under the nourishment of the Qi Essence of Heaven and Earth, showing signs of breakthroughs.

Even the most ordinary people, nourished by the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth, experienced changes in their bodies. Their original illnesses disappeared, and their bodies became more robust.

Some animals and plants also benefited from the enhancement of the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth. The animals became smarter, more agile, and more robust, the plants grew more vigorously, and even some rumored extinct Heavenly and Earthly Treasures silently sprouted.

Putting it simply, after the breaking of the sky-earth shackles and the rise in the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth, the entire world saw various benefits and everyone gained from it, to varying extents.

In these three years, the dissemination of Martial Classics became more widespread, and even the last two volumes of the Martial Classics gradually spread under Pei Xuanjing’s guidance.

Over the course of three years, with the increase in the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth, the overall strength of the Great Ming improved considerably. Blessed by the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth, the weather was predictable, crops yielded bountiful harvests, and national strength increased.

The three-year-old emperor had gained more control over the imperial court, backed by the support of Pei Xuanjing and others, his word held immense weight with none daring to defy it.

Wang Qiong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, who also had the support of the emperor, prepared the military for warfare. He bided his time, waiting for a suitable opportunity to launch an attack outside the border and sweep away the barbarians.

For the Great Ming imperial court’s actions, not only did the various forces in Jianghu not hinder them, but they also supported them wholeheartedly, showing a willingness to sacrifice their own for the nation’s sake.

“Hehe, indeed, interests do move the hearts of people.”

Pei Xuanjing, reading the report compiled from news about various forces, mused aloud.

Since the event on Taihe Mountain, they had all gone their separate ways, all withdrawn, and immersed in closed-door cultivation. They did not make any significant moves as many powers speculated.

In these three years, Pei Xuanjing, had been in retreat and cultivating in the Taoist Temple built for him by the emperor of Tiandu, he only occasionally met with the emperor and disregarded all matters, leaving everything to be handled by the likes of Pang Hong and Yu Zhenzi.

However, during this period, they intentionally and unintentionally spread the news about using Qi Luck to enfeoff Gods to prepare for the Great Ming’s military expedition.

Just as they expected, if they had proposed the expedition prior to this, the idea of attacking outside the border would have been treated as insignificant gains by those powers.

But now, with the news of the expedition, nearly no forces want to hinder this plan. After all, looking at the benefits, expanding their territory and seizing Qi Luck would be a necessity for them..
