The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 820: Chapter 770 Are the Deities Malicious?

“`

Based on Pei Xuanjing’s conjecture, a True Martial Emperor born from the absorption of such a vast Force of Faith Incense would at least be a being at the peak of the Eightfold Spirit Realm, or even possessing the combat power of the Spiritual Realm Level Nine Strongest under the blessing of the Will of Heaven and Earth was not impossible.

Such a situation had already gone beyond their control, which was why it was essential for a powerhouse like Pei Xuanjing to be present; otherwise, if a malevolent deity emerged with ill intent towards them, not only would the True Martial Sect face disaster, but the Heaven and Earth might also be stirred into calamity, which was something they didn’t wish to see.

Therefore, inviting Pei Xuanjing was like taking out an insurance policy, which would allow them to suppress any unforeseen incidents that might arise, preventing them from causing too much harm.

Time went by; in the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed, and the divine embryo nurturing the True Martial Emperor deity had completely taken shape. The Qingxu Taoist said to Pei Xuanjing, “The time has come; I am preparing to send the True Spirit of our ancestor into it, please be prepared, National Preceptor.”

The closer it was to the final critical moment, the less room there was for the slightest negligence. The Qingxu Taoist, although mentally he had rehearsed and prepared countless times, still didn’t have full confidence at this moment; hence, he reminded Pei Xuanjing, hoping that the latter would lend a hand when necessary.

“Sect Leader, rest assured. I will naturally take action when necessary,” Pei Xuanjing assured the other party that there was no need for worry, as he was ready.

After receiving an affirmative response from Pei Xuanjing, the Qingxu Taoist nodded and then with a clang, the divine sword was unsheathed from his hand.

This divine sword, once carried by Master Sanfeng, would be considered merely a common Ten Thousand-Forged Divine Weapon nowadays, not being particularly valuable to cultivators who had stepped into the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm, but as the personal Divine Weapon of Master Sanfeng, who was once the world-conquering Number One, it carried his True Spirit and was beyond comparison to ordinary Ten Thousand-Forged Divine Weapons.

The instant the divine sword was unsheathed, there was no brilliant light shooting from the simple and unadorned blade, but a penetrating sharpness invaded the soul, so much so that even Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but slightly turn his gaze in surprise upon feeling this sharpness.

“Please let the ancestor return to his position!”

The Primordial Qi in the Qingxu Taoist’s body circulated, uniting spirit and intention; murmuring incantations, he then called out loudly as if striking a bell of great resonance.

As soon as his words ended, a faint and ethereal stream of transparent light escaped from the divine sword, shooting towards the core of the Zhenwu Array and the divine embryo that was nurturing the True Martial Emperor.

The light speeded swiftly, lightning-fast, but in Pei Xuanjing’s eyes, it seemed as if there was nowhere it could hide; he could clearly see that this transparent light was actually Master Sanfeng’s True Spirit. Although it no longer had the grandeur of his original divine embryo, both the appearance and aura were identical to Master Sanfeng as Pei Xuanjing had once seen in his dream returning to Taihe Mountain through the Page of the Netherworld’s Book.

The nurturing divine embryo seemed to have no rejection towards Master Sanfeng’s True Spirit, and in the blink of an eye, it entered the divine embryo.

Seeing Master Sanfeng’s True Spirit smoothly entering the divine embryo, the Qingxu Taoist, who was slightly tense, let out a sigh of relief, and the surrounding disciples and elders of Zhenwu Sect maintaining the Zhenwu Array exhibited the same relief.

This successful first step undoubtedly alleviated their worries somewhat. The next moment, those elders and disciples of the True Martial Sect began to operate their Divine Positions with all their might, converting more Power of Incense Faith before infusing it into the divine embryo to accelerate its nurturing.

The Qingxu Taoist did the same, activating his Divine Position to convert the Power of Faith Incense as well.

“`

Although they did not request Pei Xuanjing’s help, he was not willing to delay, his slender white palm extended, the Sanbao Jade Ruyi appeared out of nowhere on it. Pei Xuanjing began to activate the Sanbao Jade Ruyi, and a surging torrent of the Power of Faith Incense Fire cascaded out just like a tide, entering into the divine embryo through the Zhenwu Array.

It must be said, even though Pei Xuanjing intentionally restrained himself and did not use his full strength, the divine power he alone converted was still far greater than what the present elders and disciples of the True Martial Sect had collectively mustered, and the difference between them was immeasurable.

As such an immense amount of divine power transferred into the divine embryo, its aura also began to change, speeding up its nurturing. One could even hear the ‘thump thump thump’, akin to the beating of life, resounding in the unknowable depths.

While Pei Xuanjing was converting the Power of Faith Incense into divine power and channeling it into the divine embryo, he was using his Primordial God Power to constantly sense the changes within it. Every minute fluctuation occurring to the divine embryo at every moment did not escape Pei Xuanjing’s perception.

From nothing to something, from small to large, from weak to strong, Pei Xuanjing could clearly feel the Divine Position contained within the embryo expanding and growing stronger. Furthermore, the embryo became increasingly lively, attracting countless fortunes into its fold.

“Hmm? Has even Heaven and Earth taken notice?” A divine light flashed in Pei Xuanjing’s eyes.

With the Sanbao Jade Ruyi in hand, even though he had not yet ascended to the Divine Position of Jade Purity True Monarch, he could distinctly feel the influence of the Will of Heaven and Earth. Clearly, he could sense that as this divine embryo grew increasingly powerful, a portion of the Will of Heaven and Earth seemed to descend upon it.

“However, why do I have some bad premonitions in my heart, as if sensing some malevolence?” Doubts arose in Pei Xuanjing’s heart.

At his level of Realm, he could sense and prepare for any malevolence aimed at himself as soon as it manifested, much like the whims that the legendary Heavenly Secrets Skill could bring about.

And at this moment, as the divine embryo grew, Pei Xuanjing could feel traces of malevolence targeting not only himself but everyone present.

“This divine embryo is a naturally born entity, and I have had no interactions with you. Why would it suddenly harbor evil thoughts against me, along with all these living beings?” Pei Xuanjing was somewhat perplexed.

According to the rules of Heaven and Earth, naturally born deities should be without evil or good, in a state of nascent vagueness. However, this one, not yet fully born, was emitting malevolence towards living beings, which had all the hallmarks of an evil god’s birth.

However, producing an evil god normally requires exceedingly stringent conditions, and the deity they were agglomerating was absorbing the Power of Faith Incense from the collectively worshipped Zhenwu Demonslaying Emperor. How could it possibly be the birth of an evil god then?

Keep in mind, Zhenwu Demonslaying Emperor is a deity known for slaying demons and evil, safeguarding all beings. How could it harbor malevolence towards them?

Now he began to slowly let the Will of Heaven and Earth join him. After taking charge of the authority of Jade Purity True Monarch, he could confirm with ample confidence that the divine business gathered at the moment certainly belonged to the Zhenwu Demonslaying Emperor.

In such a situation, it surprised Pei Xuanjing, a man with profound understanding and thorough knowledge of the Divine Position, not knowing where a deviation or issue had arisen.

Could it be because of the remnant True Spirit of Master Sanfeng?
