Chapter 986 -s 934-935 The Attitude of a True Immortal, The War of Races Combined Part 2
So now, the appearance of Pei Xuanjing and his proposed Godsealing Plan present an opportunity they cannot refuse. Unless the Xuantian Sect is willing to give up this chance.
In the past, they might have fought to lead this plan or started from scratch.
But things are different now. Not to mention that the various immortal sects are presently on equal footing, each with a single True Immortal, none weaker than the other.
The strength that Pei Xuanjing, the Shenxiao True Monarch, has shown is so formidable that even Daoist Xuantian is wary of him. To start from scratch would be to directly oppose him in a fight to the death, something the Xuantian Sect cannot afford to do.
And with the Sword Sect and others already having agreed, the Xuantian Sect has no choice but to agree as well, unless they are willing to forego this opportunity.
Sometimes, internal competition truly is everywhere — even for True Immortals and immortal sects. As long as you have desires, as long as you’re not without wants or needs, you will be involuntarily sucked into it.
“Once Daoist Xuantian agrees, with six True Immortals in the fold, Master Tianji will likely consent as well, given his wisdom,” said Pei Xuanjing confidently.
Pei Xuanjing had once promised to protect Bai Xiaosheng, who always considered Master Tianji a formidable enemy, and had prepared to engage him if necessary.
Strangely though, this individual never showed himself, not even at the Shenxiao Debate Conference; he sent another Divine Calculation Child from Sky Mechanism Pavilion instead.
It was later on that Pei Xuanjing realized Master Tianji might not be as terrifying as Bai Xiaosheng had described, seeming wary of something and refraining from taking action.
Even though their paths rarely crossed afterward, Pei Xuanjing managed to learn about Master Tianji’s way of doing things from various other sources.
He understood that this person was surely one who knew the times, so persuading Daoist Xuantian, with the union of six True Immortals and the lure of substantial benefits, would likely not be rejected by him.
The Godsealing Plan had lingered long in Pei Xuanjing’s heart; he tirelessly calculated and refined the plan.
The moment Pei Xuanjing decided to advance the Godsealing Plan, he already had a complete strategy in mind. It’s not just that Zhu Houji’s obtaining of the Ancient Human Race Common Master’s left-behind Cave Sky was substantially advancing Pei Xuanjing’s plan, but in fact, even without these, Pei Xuanjing would have initiated the Godsealing Plan when the time was ripe.
And the essential first step of the Godsealing Plan was gaining the support of enough True Immortals. As for how to invite these True Immortals to join, Pei Xuanjing had a set of plans in mind, which he was now following.
First, the Witch God Sect Leader was already deeply entangled with the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. Using the existence of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, Pei Xuanjing was confident in inviting him to join. Even if he hesitated at first, with the support of several True Immortals from the Taoist School, the Witch God Sect Leader would surely not object.
It can be said that whether Pei Xuanjing invites the Witch God Sect Leader or the True Immortals from the Taoist School first, the rest could then be invited to join, just like now.

Now, if Daoist Xuantian and Master Tianji come on board, whether Pei Xuanjing next invites True Immortals of Buddhism, the neutral Taisu Sect, or discusses cooperation with the True Immortals of the Demonic Way, everything will naturally fall into place without any hurdle.
Sometimes, with some issues, they may seem insurmountable, but as long as you find the right direction and take appropriate measures, they can be invincible.
“Master Pei truly has divine wisdom!” exclaimed Zhu Houji, unable to help but admire.
Pei Xuanjing shook his head, indifferent to his praise, then said, “However, I hope His Majesty understands that once these True Immortals all agree, the benefits you will have to yield in the early stages are not insignificant.”
Including Pei Xuanjing himself, to get the agreement of fourteen True Immortals to join the plan, there must be a payout of benefits, or else it’s simply impossible with mere words.
Fourteen True Immortals represent fourteen immortal sects; at least fourteen Spirit Realm Cave Heavens must be yielded. Instantly, more than one-third of the thirty-six Spirit Realm Cave Heavens are spoken for.

The situation was also a cause for concern among the many supreme strong ones gathered in Tiandu: True Immortals dominate Heaven and Earth, nearly impossible to rival. If many True Immortals banded together to reach an agreement, completely carving up these Spirit Realm Cave Heavens, they would have no strength to resist.
“Wasn’t it agreed from the beginning that all this could be accepted by the disciples?” Zhu Houji said with an indifferent expression.
When he was in the Spirit Realm Cave Heaven, upon hearing Pei Xuanjing’s account of the Godsealing Plan, he had already seen through it all, having made a decision in his heart without a hint of reluctance.
All was for the sake of Becoming Immortal; Pei Xuanjing had already analyzed it very clearly from the beginning, underlining the crux: to Become Immortal, one must let go of certain things. There’s no perfect outcome that satisfies all, at least not for now.
“What I’m speaking of is not just that,” Pei Xuanjing shook his head.
As for these, he had already spoken of them before, and since Zhu Houji was not one to dither, Pei Xuanjing wasn’t worried he would regret this matter. What he was referring to was something else.
“May I know what Master Pei is referring to?” Zhu Houji asked, somewhat puzzled.
Pei Xuanjing said, “If the Godsealing Plan is successfully completed, and after the establishment of the Heavenly Court, with the Great Ming Divine Dynasty transformed into the Great Ming Heavenly Court, then the Heavenly Court will not be able to suppress Heaven and Earth, and Your Majesty’s authority will not increase, it might even diminish.”
Zhu Houji was momentarily stunned, then had a flash of realization, understanding what Pei Xuanjing meant.
Indeed, if the Heavenly Court were founded solely on one’s own power, then the future Heavenly Court would undoubtedly be able to reign supreme, suppressing any who oppose.
But since support from these forces was accepted, even if the Heavenly Court is established in the future and oneself becomes a True Immortal, it would still not be possible to dominate as the Ancient Human Race Common Masters envisaged, perpetually suppressing all under Heaven.
“This I can accept,” Zhu Houji said with a steely face, speaking earnestly.
He had long anticipated this outcome, for after all, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty was not like those ancient divine dynasties that could suppress Heaven and Earth, and make all powerful forces serve and recede.
If it had really been like that, after receiving the gift of the Spirit Realm Cave Sky from the Ancient Human Race Common Master, he wouldn’t have needed to worry so much and could have simply swept across the world to establish the Heavenly Court.
In times of insufficient power, one must learn to compromise and endure, a lesson every emperor must learn. Zhu Houji was not the impulsive kind; he understood what he could accept.
It was foreseeable that after the establishment of the Heavenly Court, these forces would definitely meddle within, reluctant to relinquish their authority—all within Zhu Houji’s expectations.
“Very good,” Pei Xuanjing nodded, then continued, “There’s one more thing, that is to pay close attention to the Demon Race’s movements, to prevent the Demon Race from encroaching.”
This was Pei Xuanjing reminding Zhu Houji of something important to be wary of; the human race’s unceasing actions had already caught the attention of the Demon Race, and Pei Xuanjing believed the Demon Race would definitely react.
The current peaceful coexistence between the human race and the Demon Race was not because both sides loved peace, but simply because the power balance between the human race and the Demon Race meant neither could do anything to the other.
Putting aside Pei Xuanjing’s Godsealing Plan and the idea of creating a Human Race Heavenly Court, the mere existence of these dozens of Spirit Realm Cave Heavens was enough for Pei Xuanjing to believe that the Demon Tribe True Immortals would not stand by idly.
The presence of dozens of True Immortals could possibly allow the human race to cultivate more than ten True Immortals. If such a result were to occur, the balance between the human race and the Demon Race would be broken, and the Demon Race would face the risk of destruction.
Clearly, Zhu Houji understood this as well, and he had already prepared for it, saying, “On this matter, Wang Boan has already made a proposal. Not long ago, he left Tiandu and returned to the border to prevent the Demon Race from taking action.”
