The eyes of Master Tianji were locked onto the far distance, watching the turbulent seas of clouds; his eyes twinkling with brilliance. The bronze coin at his fingertips was spinning rapidly. He paid no heed to the words of the Tianshi Pavilion Master as if he heard nothing at all.

Seeing this, the Tianshi Pavilion Master naturally understood that his Master was calculating the mysteries of fate and dared not disturb him in the slightest, quietly standing behind him and waiting.

Even as a strong practitioner at the Eightfold Spirit Realm, the Tianshi Pavilion Master wouldn’t dare to neglect his manners or respect in front of his teacher.

Perhaps within the entire Sky Mechanism Pavilion, only the brother of Master Tianji, another powerful practitioner at the Nine Realms of Spirit, Gods’ Calculator, could command an equal status with Master Tianji.

After an unknown amount of time, the brilliance in the eyes of Master Tianji gradually dissipated. The ancient bronze coin initially dancing at his fingertips also stopped and sank into his palm, disappearing without a trace, as if it had never appeared before.

“Let’s go!” Master Tianji turned around and said to his disciple.

He did not mention his recent calculations of the celestial secrets, and the Tianshi Pavilion Master tactfully refrained from asking further.

Inside the Sky Mechanism Pavilion, there were many cultivators at the Eightfold Spirit Realm. Even among the disciples of Master Tianji, he was not the only one. His ability to reach this position was obvious proof of his wisdom.

“Yes!”

The Tianshi Pavilion Master escorted Master Tianji to another mountain peak, where the Heroes had already gathered.

The mountain peak was not far from them, and they arrived in an instant.

Today, those who could ascend to this mountain were all practitioners at the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm at the very least. Cultivators below this level simply had no place there, unable to linger for extended periods of time.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I have failed to greet you from afar today, I hope you all will forgive me…”

The moment Master Tianji stepped onto the mountain peak, many powerful figures had already sensed his presence. His voice reverberated throughout the entire mountain peak, and everyone heard his words.

The gaze of almost every practitioner fell upon him, and as he entered the peak, Master Tianji immediately understood the layout of the various forces on the mountain.

With the reputation of Master Tianji and his Sky Mechanism Pavilion, the news he disseminated was not confined within the human race, but also reached many within the Demon Race.

When Pei Xuanjing initially suppressed the Taixu Venerable, the Demon Race did not participate due to their many concerns about the human races’ most powerful figures and fear of traps. Still, they immediately understood the significant event that had taken place in the ancestral land afterwards, and thus, they got a clear understanding of Pei Xuanjing’s might.

This time, the practitioners from the Sky Wasteland wanted to use their return to the ancestral land to integrate the Sky Wasteland into the ancestral lands and gain even greater power. This could not be overlooked by the Demon Race either.

Throughout countless years of struggle between the human race and the Demon Race, both sides had consciously or unconsciously kept their skirmishes within a certain limit as both knew that the balance was maintained due to the negligible difference in power at the top levels, neither side had the surety of annihilating the other, fearing it would end up in a situation where both parties were decimated and hence, had been restraining themselves all along.

This time, if the human race’s plan fails, it would be fine, but if it is successful, wouldn’t it mean that the human race will have even more powerful practitioners? This would undoubtedly disrupt the balance between the human and demon races, an outcome which the demon race could not accept. Therefore, they tactlessly participated in this grand gathering.

The Demon Race’s many powerful figures did not conceal nor did they need to hide their purpose for coming this time, as they understood that the human race was fully aware of their intention.

Their intention was to tell the Human Race not to try and take this opportunity to exclude the Demon race and hog all the benefits, they either share the Sky Wasteland or incorporate into the ancestral land together, and win the favor of the will of Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, on this mountain peak, many powerful figures from the Demon Race occupied one side. As for the Human race’s cultivators, they understood this and did not rush up in fury, because they understood the importance of compromise. If the roles were reversed, they would have done the same.

It could be said that both parties wanted to disrupt the balance of the current situation, but none would allow the other to do so, or they would face the risk of annihilation.

Other than the Demon Race occupying one side, the Human race’s Righteous Path occupied one side, the Demonic Way occupied one side, and the remaining side was occupied by the Independent Practitioner.

These four forces occupied four directions of the mountain peak, leaving the center vacant for Master Tianji and the Sky Mechanism Pavilion as the hosts.

Master Tianji chuckled, without saying much, he strode forward to the center of the mountain peak and announced loudly, “Ladies and Gentlemen…”

……

“I didn’t expect you would come to Shenxiao Mountain at this time, Pei Xuanjing is indeed curious.”

On Shenxiao Mountain, Pei Xuanjing, who was originally in seclusion refining the Taoyun to suppress the Taixu Mirror and eradicate the Taixu Venerable, did not expect to be disrupted by a visitor, and this visitor turned out to be Bai Xiaosheng, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

After Bai Xiaosheng handed over many matters to Pang Hong, he left Tiandu under the excuse of closing himself off to the world, where he went, no one knew. After all, having managed the Bai Xiaosheng organization for many years, he could easily have more than 30 hideouts, and there would be no issues regarding his hiding place unless a powerful practitioner like Pei Xuanjing intentionally sought him.

Pei Xuanjing chose to respect his decision on this matter. Even though many things had the appearance of knowing attitude, unless you are the one involved, no one can truly empathize.

Initially, Pei Xuanjing assumed Bai Xiaosheng would commit himself completely to his seclusion and would not break it until he reached a certain cultivation level. However, to his surprise, Bai Xiaosheng reappeared after a few short years and came to him directly.

“If I had known your strength had reached this point, Brother Pei, I wouldn’t have ended up in this state,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a bitter smile.

His decision to hand over many things to Pang Hong was also a last resort. The situation at the time did not allow him to continue to stand out and he had to retreat.

As the revival of Heaven and Earth drew ever closer, more and more cultivators from Sky Wasteland descended, and Bai Xiaosheng’s understanding of the Sky Mechanism Pavilion also deepened. He became more aware of the terrifying power of the forces he was up against.

Originally, he thought that among these top forces, the Sky Mechanism Pavilion was the youngest force apart from the Taixu Path. It should only have Master Tianji, a powerful practitioner at the Nine Realms of Spirit. With Pei Xuanjing and the Great Ming Divine Dynasty as his supporters and some other means, he might be able to break through the situation with alliances.

However, when he learned that besides Master Tianji, the Sky Mechanism Pavilion also had Gods’ Calculator, another powerful practitioner at the Nine Realms of Spirit, this undoubtedly nearly shattered the heart of Bai Xiaosheng, who until recently had thought he was holding the winning hand.

At the time, before Pei Xuanjing had demonstrated his strength as a powerful practitioner of the Nine Realms of Spirit, Bai Xiaosheng had no choice but to retreat temporarily and avoid the limelight.

“So, do you have a plan now? ” Pei Xuanjing asked.
