Chapter 658: 608: Alternative Longevity!
Given that someone has proposed the path of creating a new world, merging oneself with it, no one would easily give up before this road has been definitively proved useless. Regardless of the cost, or how many cultivators would lose their lives, nothing could stop the successors. After all, every cultivator who made it this far considered themselves unique and would believe they would be the only fortunate ones.
Of course, the Chaos was too dangerous, momentarily hindering them. However, this was temporary, they started looking for another similar path.
Blessed Land and Cave Heaven were proposed by some cultivators. They proposed the sequence of creating a Blessed Land, evolving it into a Cave Heaven, and finally promoting it to a world. For a time, it was lauded unanimously and became a guiding principle.
Yet, this feat, unachieved by any cultivator over countless years, was now accomplished by Pei Xuanjing. This left the strong cultivators from the Sky Wasteland, who prided themselves on their deep backgrounds, at a loss of how to deal with this.
Even though the world now revealed behind Pei Xuanjing was somewhat different from the world they had envisioned, it could not be denied that this was an independent world, a fully developed world, something any Blessed Land or Cave Heaven could scarcely match.
“This…”
A strong cultivator from the Sky Wasteland frowned, his gloomy face indicating his bad mood.
As part of a top force in the Sky Wasteland, he understood clearly. When this event spreads back to the Sky Wasteland, it will inevitably cause a great uproar. Countless powerful cultivators would go insane for it.
Although there were rumors that this Ancestral Land’s Heaven and Earth Essence Qi would revive this time, presenting a chance for Becoming Immortal, seizing this opportunity to stand out in this Great World may indeed make one a True Immortal as in the legends– immortal and everlasting.
But for many who come from top forces, they always deemed these rumors as lies. After all, over the countless ages, many Great Worlds like this one have appeared numerous times. The final result was not the emergence of any Immortal, but rather endless battles among various forces within the Heaven and Earth, ending with many forces being wiped out and numerous powerful cultivators falling.
For many top forces, what they desired more was to stabilize their status in this Great World and to stay safe through this calamity. After all, at their level, there was no way to reach higher.
Just the events of this Ancestral Land alone triggered many undercurrents. But when this news travels, many strong cultivators nearing the end of their lives will go insane. This Great World would certainly be filled with blood and battles.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
The dense Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and Energy of Creation were revolving around Pei Xuanjing, washing over his body. His attire was rustling, his long hair was flying. He was standing there, aloof, like an exiled Immortal, emanating an imposing aura, appearing as if he were a deity from high above the nine heavens.
Pei Xuanjing did not speak, nor did he make any move. Because he was also processing the current situation.
In his original plan, he just wanted to use this chance to create a Divine Kingdom using the Power of Incense Fire from countless believers. He had not anticipated that, by a stroke of luck, he would accidentally open up a Small Thousand World.
Although the Small Thousand World was weak and could not exist independent of the Daming World for the time being, this was completely out of his expectations.
Divine Kingdom, the domain of a deity. Within the Divine Kingdom, a deity possesses extraordinary powers and can suppress all enemies. It is the foundation of a deity’s status.
However, this Divine Kingdom does have its limitations. For the living beings that want to enter the Divine Kingdom, they must be followers of the deity, the most devout followers. Further evolution and transformation of the Divine Kingdom still require the power of countless loyal followers’ incense. Once there is a lack or shortage, the Divine Kingdom will degrade and even dissipate.
But this Small Thousand World is different. In this Small Thousand World, Pei Xuanjing, as the creator of this Small Thousand World, is intimately linked to it and is indeed the creator of this Small Thousand World. Not only does he possess the same power within the Divine Kingdom as the deity, but he also has an unimaginable advantage.
If the Small Thousand World does not perish, Pei Xuanjing, even if he exhausts his lifespan, will not truly die. He will integrate into the Tao of this Small Thousand World and, when the time is right, return to life.
Not to mention anything else, if the news about Pei Xuanjing were to spread, it would indeed drive countless powerful cultivators in this world insane. After all, his situation was almost the same as immortality.
The advantage of the Small Thousand World is something the Divine Kingdom cannot compare to. Just like how the Divine Kingdom requires countless devout believers to provide the Power of Incense Fire to maintain and expand its Divine Kingdom. Once the deity loses the support of the believers’ Power of Incense Fire, for them, the existence of the Divine Kingdom is at risk.
Moreover, for a deity, the Divine Kingdom is also an indispensable existence. If the Divine Kingdom is destroyed, they may either be seriously injured and fall into slumber or directly fall never to rise again.
The Small Thousand World that Pei Xuanjing accidentally created is different. This Small Thousand World is now attached to the Daming World, getting its nourishment from the origin of the Daming World, and has stabilized completely. It only needs to wait for the right time to create life and transform itself.
After the Small Thousand World stabilizes in the future, even without the protection and nourishment from the Daming World, it can slowly transform the Qi of Chaos. Although slow, it is still autonomous, stable, and worry-free. After all, the endless Chaos Qi from the outside world is endless and inexhaustible, there will never be a day when it will run out.
Of course, for Pei Xuanjing, the most important point is that as creator of the Small Thousand World, after connecting the Daming World and Small Thousand World, he has made a huge contribution to the Daming World, gained the favor of Heaven and Earth, further improved his own strength, and even if the Small Thousand World were to collapse someday, he would only be injured and would not truly fall.
Therefore, even though he didn’t know why he accidentally created a Small Thousand World, it was a good thing for Pei Xuanjing. He would only smile and pocket it.
“This Small Thousand World is still of great use to me, and I cannot simply let you devour it,” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.
At this moment, his Daming World was at its peak. The divine position backing him hadn’t dissipated yet, and he could clearly sense the existence of the will of Heaven and Earth.
Although this Will of Heaven and Earth did not possess wisdom, it had instinctive spirituality. It was delighted with the Small Thousand World created by Pei Xuanjing.
