NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 781 - 731: Heavenly Decree in Mouth
Chapter 781: Chapter 731: Heavenly Decree in Mouth
After the revival of Heaven and Earth, as the concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi continued to rise, the opportunity for ordinary Martial Artists to break through to the Spirit Realm also increased.
Just like the world of the immortal sect where Pei Xuanjing’s previous projection was, the abundant spiritual energies of Heaven and Earth nurtured the people, making the mortal ones, even those without spiritual roots, physically stronger.
Similarly, not everyone in the Daming World had the opportunity to practice cultivation due to reasons such as their family’s financial conditions and their poor talent.
However, over the years, as the Essence Qi of Heaven and Earth has been restored, everyone in the Daming World has now stepped onto the path of Martial Arts. Nurturing them with abundant Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, they have all successfully become Martial Artists.
Furthermore, with the original promotion of Martial Classics, the existence of the Taoist Academy, and Pei Xuanjing’s resolution of the Third-grade Hypostatic Master problem, more and more Martial Artists emerged. Anything could hardly obstruct the advancement of Mortal Realm Martial Artists before reaching the First-grade realm, except for the barrier of breaking through the First-grade Spirit Realm.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that now Spirit Realm practitioners are everywhere in the Daming World, and First-grades are as common as dogs. And as the overall strength of the living beings in the Daming World improved, the baseline strength level required to join the Great Ming Divine Dynasty gradually increased.
If, in the past, first-grade Martial Artists could join the Great Ming Divine Dynasty and occupy a fairly good position, then nowadays, ordinary first-grade martial artists can only become common soldiers, without a chance to even become small flag officers of a guard station.
Although the Great Ming Divine Dynasty was the weakest among the ascended dynasties due to the lack of Heaven and Earth restoration during its elevation, their superior Golden Book and Jade Scroll were not to be underestimated. With Heaven and Earth’s favour and continuous prosperity of Qi Luck, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty has been continuously strengthening, and the power provided by the divine positions has also been increasing.
The High-Apex dynasty can suppress the current world, making even the strongest forces retreat. Apart from many mighty beings in the Dynasty, there are also those who have refined the Divine Positions. As the backbone of the dynasty, these strong individuals harness extra power from their Divine Positions besides their own cultivation practice.
Now, even though the Great Ming Divine Dynasty has a short period of ascension and there are no Spirit Realm Eightfold powerhouses except Zhu Houji and Wang Boan, its overall strength is incredible, even amongst top-tier forces.
Moreover, that was decades ago. Now, the cooperation between the Great Ming Divine Dynasty and the Witch Deity Teaching is apparent. Everyone knows that the rebel of Witch Deity Teaching, Wu Shijiu, who is strong even among the Spirit Realm Eightfold, has joined the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. Under these circumstances, only a few top forces with profound strength can resist the influence of the ascended dynasty that was established less than a hundred years ago.
In a word, the rapid rise of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty has attracted the attention of forces across the Sky Wasteland. Their speed of ascent far exceeds the imaginable, and is unprecedented.
Even though Pei Xuanjing’s Shenxiao Sect has been developed rapidly with his support, the developments of the Shenxiao Sect and the Great Ming Divine Dynasty are not even comparable.
“How dominant was the ancient human ruler, whose commands none dared to disobey. When will I be able to possess such power?” Zhu Houji thought secretly, his deep gaze unreadable.
Perhaps many cultivators and forces think that the strength of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, attained within such a short amount of time, is beyond imagination. But for Zhu Houji, the Divine Emperor, what he has now is far from what he desires.
The divine arts of cultivation he learned from the Witch God Sect Leader have significantly improved his strength compared to what he had during the Shenxiao Debate Conference.
Furthermore, as the power of the Divine Dynasty grew over the years and his own Qi Luck became more and more prosperous, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword he obtained recognised him more and more. The level of battle power he could wield was known only to himself.
However, for Zhu Houji, this was still not enough and far from enough. You must know that the Ancient Human Ruler was not only immensely powerful, but also unparalleled in his command of law. Even the leaders of the apex divine dynasties of the past could suppress the world, and even the top forces and the strongest individuals dared not defy them.
In comparison, he, as the Ruler of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, although his strength is nearly reaching the peak of Heaven and Earth, is still far from the peak he aspires to.
“In only two or three decades, Master Pei has made another breakthrough, breaking the limit and entering the Strongest Realm of the Nine Realms of Spirit, his terrifying talent is truly shocking,” Zhu Houji thought, deeply shaken.
Sometimes, it’s only through making comparisons that you realise there are many people and things in the world that are beyond the norm.
“In the beginning, Master Pei needed the power of the divine position and the aid of Heaven and Earth’s will to suppress the strongest in the Nine Realms of Spirit. Now, after his breakthrough, he probably doesn’t need such aids.” Zhu Houji’s eyes flashed with complicated emotions, and he sighed, “Now, if he also has the aid of a divine position, I’m afraid there would only be a handful of people among the strongest who can match him.”
His feelings towards his master, the one who has supported him all the way to his current position, are very complicated. Zhu Houji has continuously grown, always feeling like he’s getting closer to his master. However, the more he grows, the more he realises how powerful his master is, so much so that he cannot even catch a glimpse of his master’s shadow.
The existence of Pei Xuanjing protected him and the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, saving him from many troubles and worries. However, it was also like an inescapable shadow, constantly hovering over his head and impossible to avoid.
In Zhu Houji’s heart, he felt grateful for Pei Xuanjing, admiring him, yet also wishing to break free from his protection. He hoped one day he would stand in front of his master and thank him, yet be able to stand firm between Heaven and Earth on his own.
