Chapter 2322: Chapter 2268–2269: Each One’s Will, Cycle of Tao Certifying

“I don’t fear there being only one transcendence quota, nor do I fear there being many. I just fear there being only three or four.” Zhu Jiuyin said with a complex tone.

Even though his chances might be slim, he was not willing to give up easily and miss this opportunity.

At least everyone is a Dao Lord, and even if the opponent is powerful, he still has the strength to contend. If he waits for the opponent to transcend, then it might truly be the difference between a True Immortal and a Dao Lord, or even greater, and by then, he would be under someone else’s control.

Therefore, the number of transcendence quotas is a crucial point.

If there’s only one quota, then everyone’s attention would focus on Pei Xuanjing. Even though he is invincible, so many veteran Dao Lords joining forces to check him would not guarantee Pei Xuanjing’s success.

The fear is that there might be only three or four quotas, as that would mean Pei Xuanjing would not be alone. Others would share the burden, and the rest of the veteran Dao Lords would not truly unite.

If no one can get the quotas, then naturally they can unite, but if some have it and some do not, that’s a problem.

Regardless, Pei Xuanjing can only secure one. In the presence of other opportunities, even the powerful veteran Dao Lords would not choose to clash hard against him, paving the way for others.

Therefore, in this situation, they find themselves relatively passive, yet they are helpless.

“In this confrontation, do you think our alliance can truly balance against him?” Zhu Jiuyin probed the Witch God Sect Leader.

This confrontation, although mostly tentative exchanges between incarnations, did not truly display their full combat power, just as neither of them had exerted all their strength.

However, sometimes, certain things can be seen from small clues. If they haven’t exerted fully, then Pei Xuanjing also probably hasn’t. He fought them and the Sword Emperor with his respective incarnations and finally retreated them.

“Heaven, Earth, Man, God, Ghost, and self; based on my estimation, in his full state, this person can at least manifest five powerful incarnations.” The Witch God Sect Leader voiced a fearful speculation.

In everything, there are patterns to follow. The Method of Incarnation for Dao Lord experts isn’t exactly a rare existence. Even if it’s impossible to create incarnations with full combat power, splitting off an incarnation with sixty to seventy percent of one’s power is still quite easy.

But such incarnations are merely for convenience and hold no significance in a real duel against Dao Lords.

Being able to split an incarnation with power comparable to one’s True Body is a Divine Ability very rare among Dao Lords. Some top-tier Divine Powers at the True Immortal Realm can create such incarnations, but at the Dao Lord level, it’s impossible.

The reason could partly lie in the lower level of the Divine Powers, and partly in the insufficiency of one’s foundation.

This is why, although Zhao Baiyang is a newly ascended Dao Lord, no one looks down on him. After all, his Tri-Sun Dharma Body stands there. Even if it hasn’t achieved perfection, being able to divide an incarnation with comparable strength is enough for many to consider him seriously.

However, the incarnations Pei Xuanjing manifests are each no weaker than his own force, capable of contending against veteran Dao Lords, creating an even more terrifying situation.

Now, there are the Divine Dao Incarnation of the South Pole Emperor of Eternal Life, the Ghost Path Incarnation of the Yin Department Master Fengdu Emperor, and the Thunder Ancestor Witch Qiang Liang. Therefore, having two more strong incarnations wouldn’t be surprising at all.

The Five Immortals paths of Heaven, Earth, Man, God, Ghost are what Pei Xuanjing proposed, and he is currently known as having achieved Five Immortals certification among Dao Lords. Today he could evolve three incarnations, so having two more is not unexpected, rather it’s reasonable.

That is to say, even if Pei Xuanjing alone, coordinating with his five incarnations, attacks with full strength without reservations, it would take at least six Dao Lords to fend him off, and those six Dao Lords must not just be any newly ascended Dao Lords. Even if not all need to be veteran Dao Lords, they must at least be comparable to the Jade Emperor or the Human Race Five Emperors.

Thus, one person standing against several Dao Lord overlords is the true key to Pei Xuanjing’s position as the foremost power in the Realms of Heavenly Seas.

He remains seated in this position without being overthrown, still stable as before, relying not on his reputation of establishing his Dao, but on genuine combat power.

The competition among the powerful seems serene on the surface, but in reality, it’s extremely brutal. If one’s virtue doesn’t match their position, they will immediately be overthrown, with no chance to grasp anything ever again.

The law of survival of the fittest becomes even more real and brutal at the Dao Lord level.

It’s known that Pei Xuanjing and his Shenxiao Sect occupy an enormous amount of resources, and hold such influence across the Taoist School, with so many fortunes. All of this is coveted by others.

If there weren’t enough power to maintain this, it would have long been seized and divided by others. Do not underestimate the impulse of desire, nor the ambition of these newly ascended Dao Lords.

If they were all kind-hearted, how could they have emerged victorious from such brutal competition and reached this height?
