Chapter 1008 -956-957 Eight Directions Cloud Movement, Discussing Enthroning Gods Inside Shen Xiao Hall, Two in One_2

Immortal sects born of true immortals, too, conveyed to their disciples the agreed-upon rules, warning them that although the Godsealing Plan promised immense rewards, it also guaranteed a brutally fierce conflict where one misstep could cost their lives, hoping they would each choose cautiously.

Longevity is elusive, even for those born in immortal sects, but truly, cultivators who are confident they can step into the realm of a True Immortal are few and far between.

The path of immortality is fraught with hardships; no one knows at which step they might be halted, thereafter doomed to make no further progress in their lifetime.

And even those cultivators who are confident and aspire toward the Immortal Path, not yet having stepped foot on it, see the chance at immortality as an opportunity to prepare a fallback plan for themselves.

On Shenxiao Mountain, Pei Xuanjing summoned many cultivators of the Shenxiao Sect. These individuals formed the backbone and core strength of the Sect, underpinning the prosperity of the Shenxiao Sect.

However, among the many cultivators present, facing Pei Xuanjing directly, only Sect Master Pang Hong, Yu Zhenzi, and five others, along with Deer Elder, had the right to speak; the rest could only listen silently.

In the Great Hall, Pei Xuanjing sat in the main seat, his fingers gently stroking the armrest of the chair. He remained silent for a long while, and no one dared to urge him, each taking their seats and gazing at Pei Xuanjing, waiting expectantly for the Sect Leader to speak.

“Ah!” Pei Xuanjing sighed deeply.

Gazing at the cultivators of his sect in the Great Hall, each of them was a pillar of the Shenxiao Sect.

Over hundreds of years, the Shenxiao Sect had accumulated a group of powerhouses, although not comparable to those of the immortal sects.

Aside from a gap at the level of the supreme powerhouses, there were also many cultivators in the Seventh and Eighth Levels of the Spiritual Realm.

Looking at everyone’s expectant gazes, Pei Xuanjing said to them, “What you want to know about is this matter of Enthroning Gods, isn’t it?”

The people nodded again and again, only to hear Pei Xuanjing continue, “Indeed, I, in collaboration with other True Immortals, have driven this Godsealing Plan. Once a divine position is obtained, one can gain the chance at immortality.”

“Really!”

“Please grant us the chance at immortality, Sect Leader!”

Facing the temptation of immortality, the people in front of him were his own disciples, and naturally, they all prostrated themselves before Pei Xuanjing without a moment’s hesitation.

“Hehehe…” A gentle force lifted these people up, and Pei Xuanjing chuckled, “I have not yet finished speaking; why the rush?”

The people in the hall stood up, and aside from Pang Hong and Deer Elder, the rest, including Yu Zhenzi and others uncertain of their chances at the Immortal Path, all looked eagerly at Pei Xuanjing, anticipating his next words.

After Pei Xuanjing had explained the Enthroning Gods rules discussed by the True Immortals, he solemnly said, “This battle for divinity not only involves conflict between the human race and the Demon Race but also inevitable tactics from within the human race’s cultivators competing for divine positions. Consider this carefully.”

Indeed, the battle to Enthrone Gods concerned immortality and was bound to be exceptionally fierce.

Although Pei Xuanjing and many True Immortals oversaw the proceedings, they would not intervene in issues unless they touched upon bottom lines, preferring to let things take their natural course, leaving everything to be resolved by the cultivators themselves.

It can be said that this Enthroning of Gods is to select the powerhouses as a sort of trial by ordeal; only sufficiently powerful cultivators can truly stand out. Only such powerhouses can bear the divine position and wield authority in the future Heavenly Court.

Besides the three hundred and sixty-five True Gods, the Gods Sealing List also includes countless lesser gods. Each of these divine positions can utilize the Gods Sealing List for immortality, however minor each may be, no chance at immortality is to be wasted.

“We understand!” Yu Zhenzi and the others wore serious expressions.

The War of Sealing Gods was indeed terrifying, but it could not deter their longing for immortality.

After all, if one cannot gain immortality through becoming a True Immortal, even living for thousands or tens of thousands of years is, in the end, just a bitter pursuit of cultivation that vanishes like dust.

Rather than regretting in the future, it would be better to go all out and seize an opportunity for oneself to secure a chance at immortality now.

Observing the expressions of the crowd, Pei Xuanjing said, “Of course, if you find this ordeal tough, I have another method—granting you some Divine Positions. However, these positions, although they grant immortality, hold minimal authority and are merely those of ordinary mountains and rivers. If the mountains collapse or the rivers dry up in the future, these positions will inevitably perish as well.”

The Divine Positions on the Gods Sealing List include not only the three hundred and sixty-five True Gods but also countless lesser gods. Each of these positions offers immortality through the list, but each signifies a different meaning.

Like the three hundred and sixty-five True Gods, they are merged with the Gods Sealing List; as long as the list is not destroyed, their positions remain eternal. The next tier, like the gods of stars and celestial bodies, remains unworried as long as the celestial bodies do not fall.

However, the ordinary gods of mountains and waters are different; though they too can achieve immortality, if they cannot advance, they will forever be bound to mountains and rivers. The destruction or desiccation of these would mean the disappearance of their positions.

With Pei Xuanjing’s status, he could decide on these ordinary positions as long as they were not critical ones, or other True Immortals could decide as well.

But choosing this would mean giving up their future; after all, those who have the caliber to fight for a Divine Position are each extraordinary individuals, and ascending from there will be immensely difficult.

This is both an opportunity and a test. If they make a choice, Pei Xuanjing would not renege on his word, but it would also mean that they would lose their standing within the Shenxiao Sect—without courage, cultivators have no right to lead the Shenxiao Sect.

“I am willing to participate in the War of Sealing Gods and strive for a Divine Position; please provide guidance, Sect Master,” Yu Zhenzi was the first to make a decision.

Having followed Pei Xuanjing for so long, he clearly understood the test.

Although ordinary positions of immortality were easily obtainable, he could not accept such restrictions.

Even though there were countless talented individuals in the world, he believed that he could secure a Divine Position, especially since he trusted that his Sect Master would not just watch but would offer guidance and assistance.

Yu Zhenzi making a decision immediately awakened the others, and they also realized Pei Xuanjing’s intent.

“We are willing to participate in the War of Sealing Gods and compete for Divine Positions; please provide guidance, Sect Master,” the others bowed in unison.

“My disciple, what about you?” Pei Xuanjing, slightly heartened by the situation, nodded and then turned his gaze to Pang Hong, who remained unmoved.

“I aspire to pursue the Immortal Path and am not keen on relying on a Divine Position for immortality!” Pang Hong declared with determination and confidence.

As the only direct disciple of the Shenxiao True Monarch, even his registered disciples could obtain one of the Six Imperial Honorable Positions. If Pang Hong wished, it would be effortless for Pei Xuanjing to arrange a superior Divine Position for him.

And even if Pei Xuanjing did so, the other True Immortals would likely have no objections—it’s a common sentiment and a privilege of True Immortals.

Yet Pang Hong was unwilling to accept this; as a disciple of the Shenxiao True Monarch and a practitioner of the Golden Core Dao, having achieved so much at such an age, Pang Hong had his aspirations.

Although the Divine Position held enormous allure, he preferred to step onto the Immortal Path using his own strength if possible.

Thus, he declined the Divine Position, wishing to attempt the Immortal Path on his own.

“Good, I am very satisfied with your confidence,” Pei Xuanjing smiled and nodded.

He was heartened by his disciple’s ambitions, and even if Pang Hong eventually failed to tread the Immortal Path alone, as his master, Pei Xuanjing would not simply stand by idly.

Even when the enfeoffment of Divine Positions between heaven and earth is complete and he holds the Gods Sealing List, he could still find a Divine Position for him.

Thus, he greatly valued Pang Hong’s confidence and determination at this moment; these traits are the most crucial in cultivation.
