Chapter 879: Chapter 829: Selfless True Immortal?
True Immortals, whether they are of the type that reaches immortality through the five paths of Heaven, Earth, Human, God, and Ghost, will greatly benefit from their insights into Heaven and Earth and their realm advancement if they can gain the favor of the Will of Heaven and Earth, besides their own cultivation path.
The more favor from the Will of Heaven and Earth they receive, the more convenient their cultivation becomes, and the more smoothly many things proceed for them.
However, the amount of the Will of Heaven and Earth is finite, at least until the merging of the two worlds and the Heaven and Earth Ascension is complete and before a third world is integrated into the new Daming World—this Will is limited for the current True Immortals.
Thus, if new True Immortals emerge, regardless of whether they are strong or weak, they will inevitably share a portion of that Will of Heaven and Earth; this is an inevitability, an essence of True Immortals that no one can stop.
Therefore, in order not to let their share of the Will of Heaven and Earth diminish, aside from suppressing other True Immortals to obtain more of this Will, preventing the advancement of new True Immortals might not be a bad strategy.
For Pei Xuanjing, not only is he a True Immortal on the Dao of Spirit Immortals, but more importantly, he holds a position akin to that of the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, one of the supreme deities. As long as he doesn’t lose his authority, he has a baseline of the Will of Heaven and Earth that he doesn’t worry will be encroached upon.
But it’s different for other True Immortals, especially those who do not follow the Dao of Spirit Immortals. The Will of Heaven and Earth they receive is not fixed, even that which pertains to the essence of being a True Immortal is not guaranteed.
After all, the concept of twenty-six True Immortals sharing the average favor of the Will of Heaven and Earth and the concept of two hundred and sixty True Immortals sharing it are fundamentally different.
In such circumstances, it is natural for those who became True Immortals earlier not to wish for more newcomers to ascend to True Immortality and share the benefits that come with it.
“In the past, the supreme strong had a limit to their lifespan, and only the strongest forces among them would cultivate successors to ensure the unbroken lineage of their sect forces,” Pei Xuanjing said with a smile on his face. “Even in those circumstances, the top forces would suppress the first-rate forces, not allowing them to easily have supreme strong seeking advancement, and even secretly control the number of their own supreme strong.”
“Now, what about the present? True Immortals have become beings of immortality, so why let more people vie for interests?” Pei Xuanjing felt certain people would think this way.
Pei Xuanjing never underestimated human nature, nor did he overestimate it.
What are True Immortals? What is immortality? True Immortals have desires, they are not saints and still possess mortal hearts. It’s just not known who will take action, when they will tear off their masks, or whether they will establish a set of hidden rules?

All of this, Pei Xuanjing does not know.
“If in the past, those who failed to become supreme strong remained as mere ants, then in the current World, only True Immortals can be the chess players, with all others being at the whim of others,” said Pei Xuanjing, his expression indifferent and devoid of any emotion.
It must be said that after becoming an immortal, Pei Xuanjing’s state of mind indeed underwent some changes. If it had been him before, when faced with such a situation and a disposition he disliked, he would have immediately acted and strategized, trying to break and change it.
But now, Pei Xuanjing has become more indifferent. The idea in his heart of opening the way to immortality for all beings, allowing everyone the chance to become immortal, has not changed, but he no longer has the same sense of urgency.
Immortality granted Pei Xuanjing an ample amount of time, and also a touch of indifference. It was unclear if this hint of apathy was a transformation in the nature of life itself or a consequence of the corrosion from the authority of the gods on the Dao of Spirit Immortals.
Pei Xuanjing did not notice any of this, he simply watched the changes of heaven and earth in silence.
At this moment, many a True Immortal had successfully transformed, and although they were yet unable to roam the world in their true forms, they could certainly begin to traverse heaven and earth as avatars, making their voices heard and starting to plunder the Creation Profound Mysteries Between Heaven and Earth.
Boom!
Within the Demon Domain, numerous True Immortals of the Demon Race took action.
Even though the lineage of the Nine-headed Golden Lion was severed by Pei Xuanjing, the power of the Lion Emperor had become unfathomable. An avatar of a golden lion soared into the sky, roaring angrily before dashing towards a convergence of Creation Profound Mystery.
The Tiger King, Fox King, Sky Wolf King, Peacock King, Peng King, Yin Rabbit King, Celestial Ape King, Tuo Dragon King, Rat King, Tree King, and Elephant King, the rest of the eleven True Immortals of the Demon Race, did not hesitate at all. Following the Lion Emperor’s action, they each split off avatars, heading towards the human domain to plunder the Creation Profound Mysteries of the human race.
Faced with the actions of the Demon Race’s True Immortal avatars, the True Immortal powerhouses of the human race naturally would not show weakness, unwilling to allow the Demon Race to rampage thus. They too took action.
The first to act was naturally the leader of the human Righteous Path, the Xuantian Sect. The original plan of the Xuantian Sect was to channel all its sect’s resources to birth two True Immortals. Unfortunately, one of the old fossils finally fell short of lifespan and did not succeed in becoming an Immortal. Only the Master of Xuantian, Daoist Xuantian, achieved ascension. An avatar of this Daoist Xuantian decisively rushed towards the Lion Emperor.
The second to act was a True Immortal from the Sword Sect. A streak of sword light slashed out from the Sword Sect, swept across the vault of the sky, and aimed straight for the avatar of the Lion Emperor.
The Witch God Sect Leader, Ancestor Celestial Master, Worry-free Honored One of Buddhism School, Universal Light Arhat, the True Immortal of Xuan Du Guan, the Taisu Goddess of the Taisu Sect, Blood Fiend Ancestor, the Demonic Ten Thousand Spirits Sect, Profound Yin Sect, and the venerable Master Tianji of the Sky Mechanism Pavilion did not hesitate at this critical moment, without any hesitation, they struck.
It was impossible for the human and Demon Races to coexist, any side with power would decisively and without hesitation eradicate the other. Now that the Demon Race had initiated aggression into the human domain, not a single True Immortal of the human race hesitated, for this was a matter of principle, and those who violated it would find it difficult to bear the wrath of other True Immortals, even if they themselves were Immortals.
Pei Xuanjing would not hesitate in such a situation either, as a Divine Dao Incarnation flew out from Shenxiao Mountain and headed towards the avatar of the Celestial Ape King of the Demon Race.
The Celestial Ape King, purportedly of an ancient divine beast lineage within the Demon Race, possessed strength and Divine Abilities in no way inferior to the Lion Emperor. However, due to the Ape King’s temperamental and erratic nature, he was not favored by the other kings of the Demon Race. Ultimately, it was the Lion Emperor who ascended to the throne of the Demon Race.
Nevertheless, with his formidable power, the Celestial Ape King was a figure in the Demon Race who answered to commands but not to summons, and his compliance with the decrees of the Lion Emperor was not guaranteed.
Having witnessed the strength of the Lion Emperor, Pei Xuanjing was especially interested in gauging how formidable this Celestial Ape King truly was.
After all, in Pei Xuanjing’s view, should there be a life-and-death Great War between the human race and the Demon Race in the future, the Celestial Ape King would undoubtedly be one of the major concerns for the human race. If there were a chance to eliminate the other’s avatar, it would be a favorable opportunity.
