Translator: 549690339
The Divine Dynasty Method was not a complete failure in kingdoms and empires. In fact, it had been successfully established in the first real imperial dynasty – the Da Xia Dynasty.
However, the price the Da Xia Dynasty was forced to pay to realize the Divine Dynasty was overwhelmingly high. So high, in fact, that the dynasty they had constructed couldn’t withstand the strain. With their foundation left heavily damaged, countless formidable figures were sacrificed and the Divine Dynasty was on the verge of collapsing.
To make the Da Xia Dynasty eternal, the last ruler of the dynasty chose to resort to sacrificial methods, mercilessly spilling the blood of foreign tribes and even of the human race.
Such brutal methods were essentially a violation of norms, thus triggering a resistance from countless forces who naturally did not wish to end up as sacrificial lambs.
During this time, Shang Country, which originally had the support of all forces, annihilated the Da Xia Divine Dynasty, establishing a new unified imperial court.
However, as time passed, the Great Shang, upon inheriting many of the Da Xia Dynasty’s assets, inevitably tread the same path, establishing the Great Shang Divine Dynasty at an enormous cost.
Even though the establishment of the Great Shang Divine Dynasty was costly, it outperformed the Da Xia Divine Dynasty, having fewer imperfections. After generations of commitment and sacrifice, the last emperor of the Great Shang almost fully restored it.
It’s important to remember that the establishment of the Great Shang Divine Dynasty was supported by all forces. Its perfection was thus a good thing for them all.
However, at this point, the last emperor of the Great Shang went back on his word. He was unwilling to honor the promise made by the Great Shang’s founding father. Instead, he was averse to the conservative views held by those forces. He wanted to enfeoff his divine being, aiming to become the king of all gods and rule eternally.
This betrayal naturally angered those forces. As a result, a rebellion, like the one that had brought down the Great Shang, was sparked again. They overthrew the Great Shang Divine Dynasty and replaced it with the Heavenly Zhou.
Of course, Mr. Wu changed his story a bit. In his version, it wasn’t the emperor of the Great Shang who broke his word. Instead, it was the shameless treachery and greed of those forces that led to the downfall of the Great Shang.
“Those shameless people have decayed. All they want is to keep themselves alive. They regard the human race as mere scraps and food for dogs,” Mr. Wu said coldly.
Pei Xuanjing found the things Mr. Wu said to be partly credible and maintained his skepticism.
Since he understood that the person telling these stories must have put in his subjective color, everything he said could not be fully trusted.
After all, the Witch Deity Teaching, prior to the Heavenly Zhou, was considered long-established sacrificial wisdom of the human race. They held a highly respected position and controlled immense power, receiving the reverence of countless members of the human race.
However, as a result of this war, they lost everything. They went from mainstream to marginal. After the downfall of the Great Shang, they were eschewed by the Heavenly Zhou, losing all their rights and power and being completely abandoned.
Even if Mr. Wu needed to win Pei Xuanjing’s trust, he would not speak of the unfavorable truths concerning him, as that is the human nature.
“It’s a pity. If things hadn’t been so, there might have been a chance in that era to pave the way for immortals and possible ascend to True Immortality,” Pei Xuanjing lamented.
Mr. Wu had said too much today, each part of which would shock countless people if leaked.
Mr. Wu took a deep breath, calming his emotions, and said, “In addition to the information I just shared, I have two items that I can give to the Grandmaster as part of our exchange.”
Though the information was sensational, he knew it wasn’t worth Pei Xuanjing’s protection against the strongest opponents in the future.
Hence, he had prepared two items. The worth of these two items was undoubtedly considerable.
These two items were useless to him, but for Pei Xuanjing, they were irresistible.
Mr. Wu flicked his sleeve and two items appeared before his eyes, floating in front of Pei Xuanjing.
Pei Xuanjing’s eyes lit up and a smile crossed his face when he saw these two things: an imprint on a jade slip and an ore-like object that gleamed with a purple-blue light, akin to refined gold.
Pei Xuanjing recognized the jade slip as a receptacle for recording skills, and from the ore that resembled refined gold, he could clearly feel the aura of thunder.
“This ore is Purple Thunder Immortal Gold, a high-grade material for refining. I’ve heard that after the destruction of the Grandmaster’s Divine Weapon, he has yet to forge a new one. This Purple Thunder Immortal Gold can help Grandmaster create a new Divine Weapon,” Mr. Wu said, pointing to the ore.
Purple Thunder Immortal Gold is a high-grade Divine Material for forging Divine Weapons. If used in the process, it can improve the quality of the Divine Weapon and, owing to its lightning attribute, enhance the abilities of those cultivating the Thunder Method.
He had heard that despite being recognised as the best cultivator in the world, Grandmaster Pei had only managed to restore his functions after his Divine Weapon was destroyed and lacked a Divine Weapon ever since. Therefore, Mr. Wu presented him with the Purple Thunder Immortal Gold.
“It appears you are bent on ensuring the success of this transaction!” Pei Xuanjing said with a laugh.
After the destruction of his Shenxiao Sword, a Thousand Refinement Divine Weapon, he never had a Divine Weapon and always wanted to reforge a usable one.
However, with the growth in his strength, he feared that not only the Thousand Refinement Divine Weapon but even the common Ten Thousand-Forged Divine Weapon would not allow him to exert his full power. Only a top-level Ten Thousand-Forged Divine Weapon like the Yin-Yang Evil-Slaying Treasure Sword or an even more potent Divine Weapon would truly enable him to bring forth his powers.
Unfortunately, it was tremendously arduous to forge a Divine Weapon as potent as the Yin-Yang Evil-Slaying Treasure Sword. Even Dragon Tiger Mountain had exhausted countless resources and had only managed to secure a pair after many years, which demonstrated the difficulty in forging such a Divine Weapon.
Even now, as the heaven and earth rejuvenate with countless spiritual materials and rare treasures re-emerging, finding suitable Divine Materials for forging Divine Weapons remains a challenging task. That’s why the project has been delayed.
His opponent’s knowledge of this fact and the production of such precious Divine Materials indicated the importance of this deal to him.
“A good sword is worthy of a hero; such fairy gold is most suitable for the Grandmaster. It won’t be wasted on him,” said Mr. Wu with a laugh.
This high-grade Divine Material was incredibly scarce, one could seldom see it even in the Sky Wasteland. However, it had little use to Mr. Wu, hence he brought it out as a kind of favor and presented it to Pei Xuanjing.
Next, he pointed to the other jade slip and said, “Having observed that the Grandmaster is cultivating in Three Ways Simultaneously, it must be known that the method of Refining Spirit has always been a mystery. I presume that this Ancestral Land does not provide too many skills for the Refining Spirit Way. This jade slip contains a cultivation method for the Refining Spirit, reaching up to the Sixth Level of the Spirit Realm, which should be helpful to the Grandmaster.”
