Chapter 1011: 960-961 The Enthroning Gods Presenter Two-in-One

Great Ming Divine Dynasty, Tiandu.

An avatar of Pei Xuanjing once again descended upon the Imperial City. When Xuanjing arrived this time, Zhu Houji had already been waiting for quite a while.

“Disciple pays respects to Master Pei!” Zhu Houji bowed deeply to Pei Xuanjing, his expression filled with excitement as he said, “Disciple is immensely grateful to Master Pei for fighting for a Divine Position of Longevity on my behalf. I am indebted to you and at a loss as to how to repay this kindness.”

Pei Xuanjing was dressed in a dark brown Taoist robe, his head donning a Taoist Crown, and in his hand, he held a Jade Ruyi.

Looking at Zhu Houji, he shook his head slightly and said, “All of this is what you rightfully deserve. As the Emperor of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, if the Divine Dynasty were to be transformed into the Heavenly Court, and the Lord of Divine Dynasty lacked a Divine Position, wouldn’t that mean I, as a teacher, am incompetent?”

“Master Pei speaks the truth!” Zhu Houji agreed.

“However… the matter regarding the level of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll can no longer be concealed; the True Immortals are already aware,” Pei Xuanjing told him about the Golden Book and Jade Scroll.

In truth, whether the Golden Book and Jade Scroll was of high or medium grade was of little importance to Pei Xuanjing. However, for Zhu Houji, it was quite the contrary; it was as if one of his trump cards had been revealed.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houji’s expression slightly changed, but he quickly came to terms with it. The fact that this secret had been kept for so long was already unexpected. Its exposure, although untimely, was something that had been anticipated.

Yet Zhu Houji couldn’t maintain the same composure when faced with what Pei Xuanjing said next.

“The purpose of the Godsealing Plan is to establish the Heavenly Court in order to control Heaven and Earth. The reason the True Immortals are willing to recommend you as the Master of Heavenly Court is because they believe they can control the authority. But now that it’s been exposed, it no doubt has changed the True Immortals’ impression of you. Perhaps some of them are regretting their decision and are unwilling to see you ascend to the Emperor of Heaven’s position.” Pei Xuanjing had considered this matter before deciding whether to inform him.

In the end, he made his decision and frankly told Zhu Houji. Although he had nominally received the approval of many True Immortals—who promised him the revered position of the Central Jade Emperor—the impression he was giving now did not fit the ideal candidate in the eyes of the True Immortals. Therefore, in the upcoming War of Sealing Gods, the True Immortals wouldn’t intervene openly, but they would inevitably make some underhanded moves.

“Disciple understands,” Zhu Houji said with a solemn expression, grasping the subtleties of the situation, and spoke earnestly.

Seeing his serious demeanor, Pei Xuanjing also spoke, “You need not worry so much. Even if some of the True Immortals are dissatisfied or regretful, they will definitely not act openly against their previous promises. At most, they will send someone to compete, acting covertly.”

“Disciple understands. I will treat this as my trial. No matter what means these individuals employ, I will shatter them one by one and prove that I am the most outstanding amongst them,” Zhu Houji said in a determined voice.

As an Emperor and a Supreme Strong of the Nine Realms of Spirit, he had reached this point not only through the legacy of his predecessors and the protection of True Immortals, but also because his Dao Heart was unwavering.

His concern and solemn expression earlier were due to hearing the dissatisfaction of the True Immortals and the worry that if they acted, it would cause him trouble.

Since the True Immortals couldn’t intervene directly, he naturally would not fear anyone. This was his confidence—fearless against all adversaries.

“You have learned restraint for too long as an emperor; it has become a habit for you. But do not forget, in this world, strength is ultimately respected. Only by showing your true power can you gain recognition and support from others,” Pei Xuanjing earnestly taught.

As an emperor, Zhu Houji was indeed competent. Even if he did not involve himself in the governance of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, he could easily maintain control over everything.

However, he had been too accustomed to keeping a low profile. Facing the powerhouses and True Immortals of the world without overwhelming power, he had learned to bide his time quietly.

But now was a different time. The War of Sealing Gods would be a stage for countless cultivators to shine, displaying their power and charisma to the world.

Pei Xuanjing indeed could help Zhu Houji ascend to a Divine Position, but since Zhu Houji was ambitious and striving for the Emperor of Heaven’s title, with aspirations undoubtedly more profound, he should take this opportunity to shine even brighter.

“In the upcoming War of Sealing Gods, you can freely use your strength to do as you wish without fearing any True Immortal’s interference. If any True Immortal attempts to obstruct you, then I will naturally intervene,” Pei Xuanjing’s voice resounded in Zhu Houji’s ears.

This was a promise from Pei Xuanjing that had never been given before.

Although Zhu Houji was his registered disciple and enjoyed his protection, Pei Xuanjing had never made such a promise to him.

In that moment, Zhu Houji became extremely moved. His expression was complex as he looked at Pei Xuanjing, trying his best to calm his tumultuous emotions, and said solemnly, “Disciple will definitely not disappoint teacher.”

His feelings towards Pei Xuanjing were extremely complex in his heart—admiration, reverence, wariness, and a bit of resentment.

He had tried countless times to prove himself, never willing to call Pang Hong a senior brother for a reason that stemmed from envy in his heart; he was envious of the favor and care Pei Xuanjing showed Pang Hong, envious of what he did not have.

While Pei Xuanjing was unaware of Zhu Houji’s thoughts, seeing Zhu Houji’s determination, he nodded in satisfaction and continued with the purpose of his visit today.
