Chapter 2321: Chapter 2266–2267: Transcendence Attempts, Perspectives from All Sides (2)

I’ve met many geniuses, yet they all call me a genius.

This was the original thought of the Witch God Sect Leader, but after really meeting Pei Xuanjing, he found that he had become the former, that such a genius as himself had to call the other a genius.

“Transcendence, only half a step away, such a speed of cultivation is simply unimaginable.” The Witch God Sect Leader said with great emotion.

“Perhaps some people are born to cultivate, they are born into this world to lead the progress of the era, guiding the changes of the times.” There were also a few traces of complexity in the Witch God Sect Leader’s eyes.

So-called Heavenly Mandate is nothing more than this.

In past prophecies, it was said that in the Ancestral Land of the Divine Continent, a person with a Heavenly Mandate would emerge, opening a Golden Age, the doors to the Immortal Path would open, and immortality would no longer be a delusion.

Many people once thought this was merely to become a True Immortal, gain a long lifespan, or even expel the Demon Race and enfeoff the Heavenly Court, and that was already the extreme. After that, it would be a new era.

However, watching Pei Xuanjing’s continuous growth, with the other always standing at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, leading the development of the era and changes in the Realms of Heavenly Seas, the Witch God Sect Leader at this moment had to admit that the other had never lost his Heavenly Mandate.

Perhaps, it was their vision and pattern that were inadequate back then. The so-called Golden Age of the new era was not just about the opening of the doors to the Immortal Path but signified an opportunity for transcendence.

No one knows, no one understands, even these strong Taoist Monarchs cannot truly see or understand the Future at this time.

In the eyes of True Immortals and Supreme Strong, Taoist Monarchs are the ones playing chess, dominating the Divine Land World, intimidating the Realms of Heavenly Seas, and when the words are spoken, heaven and earth move, and no side dares not obey.

But in the face of true fate, the true Will of Heaven and Earth, they merely have a few more possibilities, with essentially not much choice.

We are all climbers on the path of cultivation, fighting across this sea of suffering in cultivation, seeking the true possibility of transcendence.

This great calamity that has arisen is the will of Pei Xuanjing and also the shared idea of many veteran Daoist Monarchs.

On the path of cultivation, they have almost reached a limit, but in this situation, they still cannot truly control themselves, or have the confidence to transcend and leave.

Thus, their thought was to give it a try, pushing this great calamity, not only to shape this Great Thousand Worlds of the Divine Continent but also to see if the chance for transcendence would appear.

No matter what, whether there is a possibility of transcendence remains uncertain. The Divine Continent is their foundation; as long as the Divine Continent continues to grow stronger, their foundation can become more stable, giving them more Time and opportunity.

This is a bold attempt that may sweep away millions of lives, yet for these Taoist Monarchs, they are also at their wit’s end.

This is the ruthlessness of the strong; they can provide protection for these living beings, but when their own interests conflict with those of many living beings, these strong will also decisively make a choice without the slightest hesitation.

The heart seeking the Dao is as firm as iron and indestructible. These strong, having walked to this point, each has stepped over mountains of bones, with countless opponents dying at their hands, without the slightest mercy.

Or perhaps mercy exists, but it still cannot shake their hearts seeking the Dao.

Of course, not only are these living beings pressed in it, but they also stake everything themselves on the gambling table, willing to become the cost in this.

Whether fair or not, this world is inherently so cruel; the weak have no right to argue over these things, all seeking survival, escaping control, and breaking free.

“This time, he will be the one with the most chance.” Zhu Jiuyin said with complex emotion.

Unquestionably, in this great calamity, everyone’s interests differ; the many newly ascended Daoists vie for authority, a further opportunity, but they do not qualify to attempt transcendence because they simply cannot.

Those truly having the chance to contend for the spot of transcending immortality are undoubtedly among the many veteran Daoist Monarchs. These individuals have at least stood at the limit of a Daoist Monarch, possibly taking that step.

Even Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch herself, with the accumulated background of a previous Demon God, is one step away from a true peak state right now. If the great calamity came a little later, allowing her to progress in it, there would still be some hope.

If this time she fails to seize the opportunity, and fortune is insufficient, then she might indeed miss even the last opportunity at the table.

“No matter how many spots there are in the end, he will certainly occupy one, which is exactly why all sides are highly apprehensive of him.” The Witch God Sect Leader said in a quiet tone.

As a veteran Daoist Monarch, in a way, he has also reached the limit and has the opportunity to attempt the possibility of transcendence, striving for the final spot.

Exactly for this reason, even having collaborations with Pei Xuanjing, where the other obtained an Ancestral Witch Venerable Position, the interests between the Witch God Sect Leader and Pei Xuanjing are not aligned, leading to great collisions in the final disputes of interests.

This time is just an experiment; there has never been a truly transcendent existence, and no one knows how many spots or opportunities for transcendence this calamity will produce.

If there are enough opportunities, naturally the conflict between many veteran Daoist Monarchs won’t be significant; at least, there won’t be too much conflict among the strongest few.

However, the spots are uncertain, and if they are too few, in the end, there will definitely be significant strife for this transcendence spot; no one will give up easily.

The Witch God Sect Leader is indeed an ally with Pei Xuanjing, but the other also allies with a few from the Taoist School, whose relationship is naturally closer than with himself, forming undeniably a strong force.

Taoist Monarch Xuantian, Ancestor Celestial Master, and Longevity Taoist Monarch have close relations, even though Taisu Yuanjun of the same Taoist School has a somewhat distant relation with them, as her Demon God identity prevents her from truly integrating into that small circle.

Even so, these three teaming up can absolutely sweep among the veteran Daoist Monarchs. Apart from a few in the Buddhism School who can join forces to counterbalance, the likes of the Witch God Sect Leader are fundamentally unable to compete against them.

The Sword Emperor, Witch God Sect Leader, Taoist Monarch Xuantian, Blood Fiend Ancestor, Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Monarch, Xuanyin Primordial Monarch, and Master Tianji, each indeed a powerful supreme force, no less in single combat than any one of them.

But there exist numerous rifts between these people, making it utterly impossible for them to cooperate fully, especially in the competition for transcendence spots.

This has led to the tacit suppression of the development of the Shenxiao Sect and even the Taoist School by all sides; they wish to weaken their opponents some, at least to establish some checks and balances, preventing them from proceeding too smoothly.

Even to the point where, with various calculations among sides, the situation reached an extent of being wary of everything. Otherwise, why, when Pei Xuanjing remade the Gods Sealing List, did they vie for some authority over it, not allowing the other to wield it fully?

With the ongoing expansion of the Divine Continent, the increasing influence of the Heavenly Court makes the remaking of the Gods Sealing List a natural affair. Yet these people would rather let it be, refraining to act to prevent Pei Xuanjing from continuing to grow stronger.

Unfortunately, it was to no avail; even with them intervening, they still couldn’t stop Pei Xuanjing’s actions, and he went on to complete the refining of the Gods Sealing List.

Nobody knows whether this action might have other impacts, or whether it might become a fatal flaw in the Future.

That is why all parties began meddling in the contention between the Jade Emperor and the Human Race Five Emperors, intending to execute a strategic pivot, infiltrating more power into the Heavenly Court, to prevent Pei Xuanjing from becoming an invincible entity alone.
