The rise of the Divine Dynasty on earth is a successful one, with the emergence of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, Zhu Houji, as the master of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, once again amplified his power, instantly becoming one of the top powerhouses in the world.
Many people secretly speculated whether Zhu Houji, who possesses the Luck Golden Dragon and controls the Golden Book and Jade Scroll in Tiandu, would be able to confront Pei Xuanjing.
However, unfortunately, the news that Pei Xuanjing has grasped a subsidiary of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll has been released, much to the disappointment of many. They realized that as long as Pei Xuanjing could safely handle the subsidiary, it meant that the cooperation between the two parties could continue, and would not break up for the time being.
Originally, having cleansed the plains and eradicated the remnants of the Former Yuan, an achievement as grand as expanding the territory by thousands of miles should have warranted rewards for the arm, and awards for all officials.
However, previously, because of the Divine Dynasty Plan ahead, all matters had been temporarily put on hold in the face of such an important occasion.
Now that the Divine Dynasty had promisingly risen, with the grandeur of this prosperous era coupled with the previous awards, there was no need to delay the awarding anymore.
Moreover, during the initial stages, those important figures of the Great Ming court, Council Elders, Noble Officials who were so supportive of this matter, had given up substantial benefits for this moment, hadn’t they?
Next, everything proceeded in an orderly manner, a grand awarding ceremony was about to be held, and countless officials began to move and discuss in private.
The benefits this time were tremendous, at least for the countless officials of the Great Ming court. Except for some who had confidence that their cultivation could advance them to the Spirit Realm, most Martial Artists knew that without significant fortune, there was likely little chance of significant progress.
Even those who had talent and power knew that they might become stronger if they could acquire the Enfeoffment and control the Heavenly Authority.
However, right now, this opportunity was laid out before them.
The Great Ming Divine Dynasty, the Enfeoffment to the Divine Position, if one could seize this opportunity to get the Enfeoffment, not only would their strength increase, but they could also gain a longer lifespan.
Yet, nobody knew how many Divine Positions could be assigned in the current situation, whether everyone was eligible, or they were allocated according to merits and official positions, where only a portion of people could share the benefits.
The Emperor’s heart was inscrutable. His Majesty was fundamentally a monarch of extraordinary means, nobody could fathom his thoughts, and no one knew how many Enfeoffments would be given next.
If the distribution was based on official positions and merits, then perhaps only a few people would be able to acquire it.
Even if all officials could get the Enfeoffment, different official positions would inevitably entitle people to different Enfeoffments.
After all, this was just like the Imperial examination. There were countless educated scholars participating, but how many would be nominated in the end?
Moreover, even among the nominated, the treatment of the top scholar and the ordinary scholars were vastly different.
Even more so, some astute individuals had come to realize: future official promotions would probably not be easy and would be more difficult than ever.
After all, in the past, those top-ranking officials would have to step down and turn over their positions to successors, no matter for how many years they had occupied their positions, as they all eventually succumb to old age and physical deterioration.
But now with the establishment of the Divine Dynasty and the Enfeoffment to the Divine Positions, their lifespans had increased by several times compared to before, which meant they could comfortably sit on their positions for even longer.
No one voluntarily relinquishes power, especially when the power directly correlates to one’s lifespan.
If the lifespans granted by different Divine Positions vary, then perhaps the person in the senior position might remain the same, but the subordinate officials could have changed several times over.
Therefore, for one’s sake, if they could advance even further right now, it would undoubtedly be the best.
Also, numerous martial artists in the Jianghu and various forces had begun to make moves. Ordinary martial artists, with no connections, were merely hoping to join the Great Ming court in order to gain the Enfeoffment.
Those from the major forces, however, collectively turned their attention towards Pei Xuanjing, bringing up the matter that had taken place in Shenxiao Mountain previously, hoping to have a share of the benefits.
Above the loft, Pei Xuanjing was playing with the Golden Book and Jade Scroll in his hands, slowly refining the Taoyun of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll.
“Master.” Pang Hong ascended the loft and bowed to Pei Xuanjing.
Pei Xuanjing looked at him and heard Pang Hong say, “Master, the items have been delivered. However, according to the other party’s response, this Divine Material is special. If we want to smelt it and forge a Divine Weapon, it might take several years.”
Pei Xuanjing had already finished refining the Taoyun of the Purple Lightning Divine Gold, then had Pang Hong take it along with the silver spear of Ying Zhong, whom he had slain, to the Tiangong Workshop’s refining master craftsman, asking them to use them as materials to forge a Divine Weapon for him.
“It doesn’t matter, I can wait for this bit of time.” Pei Xuanjing laughed.
For Pei Xuanjing now, a few years of this time was but a blink of an eye and didn’t matter at all, it was merely like the time for one seclusion.
“I will keep a regular check on matters there.” Pang Hong said.
Pei Xuanjing shook his head and said, “No need.”
He swished his robe, and two tokens shot out from it. Pang Hong instinctively reached out and caught them.
These two tokens turned out to be Shenxiao tokens; one of them was what Pei Xuanjing had obtained when he explored the Forbidden Place of Shenxiao Sect with the Qingxu Taoist and Bai Xiaosheng, and the other was obtained after killing the Lord of Shenxiao Gate.
“Master?” Pang Hong looked at the Shenxiao token in his hand and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.
“This Shenxiao token is related to a true Secret Inheritance left by the Shenxiao Sect. With these two tokens, you can enter it.” Pei Xuanjing explained, “Next, you and Yu Zhenzi will go together to explore and look for the Forbidden Place, to find the true inheritance left by the Shenxiao Sect, which may help your cultivation a lot.”
Pei Xuanjing had gone through the experience of exploring this Forbidden Place in his initial life simulation, but even with his strength at that time, he didn’t fully acquire the true inheritance in the simulation, and had only experienced a few stages before he failed and died.
Originally, Pei Xuanjing had thought of looking for this Secret Inheritance after he had obtained the Shenxiao token, but then things took a deviation. After all, he didn’t know where this Secret Inheritance was, and it was too difficult to look for it.
Another reason was that his power grew very quickly. By the time he reached this Realm, although he had initially practiced some skills from the Shenxiao jade book, he had already carved out his own path, which was completely different from those inheritances. Therefore, Pei Xuanjing left it aside the whole time.
However, Pei Xuanjing was very curious about many of the secrets of the Shenxiao Sect, after all, Jinmen Feather Guest, who had been in a high position, had gained a lot of unknown secrets. Perhaps there were records in the inheritance that could answer some of Pei Xuanjing’s doubts.
