The supreme beings represent the pinnacle of existence. Even though Pei Xuanjing is only a cultivator of the eighth realm, his power is such that other cultivators cannot help but respect him.

Those who are also supreme beings like the Blood Fiend Ancestor can choose to incarnate themselves to pay a visit, but for other cultivators to descend in their spirit form could be considered disrespectful towards Pei Xuanjing.

For demonic big shots like the Blood Fiend Ancestor, in the past, suppression of an incarnation would not be a big deal, causing no harm to their essence. They simply need some time to recover.

However, the important consideration now is actually for the many subordinates and disciples who have followed them here. These cultivators of the seventh and eighth level of the Spirit Realm may not be the entirety of their power, but a loss would be unacceptable, especially in this critical juncture.

If the plan to divide the Sky Wasteland can be implemented, the stronger one’s own power, the more benefits they stand to gain in the forthcoming gluttonous feast.

If they suffer a setback and lose many of their strong subordinates at this time, then the demonic factions will undoubtedly miss this feast. Consequentially, the gap between them and the righteous factions would broaden, which is not acceptable.

However, they are clear that Pei Xuanjing probably wouldn’t act so harshly. After all, if he did, he would offend the entire demonic faction. When the avatars of these supreme beings descend, Pei Xuanjing certainly could not single-handedly face them. This would be a lose-lose scenario, benefiting others at their own expense.

Therefore, the Blood Fiend Ancestor questioned Pei Xuanjing aloud. He wanted to test Pei Xuanjing’s bottom line, to understand what he truly intended to do.

Unless Pei Xuanjing wants to completely sever ties with them, he will have to compromise, or give them an out, which would be beneficial for all.

Although the demonic way is not favored by the righteous path, would Pei Xuanjing, this rising power, truly be accepted by the righteous path?

If both sides are antagonistic, perhaps the righteous path would be all the more delighted.

“Why do you have to do this, Ancestor?” Pei Xuanjing gently shook his head.

What the Blood Fiend Ancestor understood, he understood too. Naturally, he wouldn’t force the other party with power.

As mentioned, it’s only their avatar, if forced to the extreme, they could abandon the avatar, leaving himself to face the hostility of numerous top figures in the demonic faction. These were at least ten supreme beings. He wouldn’t be able to face all of them, even if only half of them made a move, he wouldn’t be able to handle it unless he was willing to abandon everything and escape into the Longevity Realm. Otherwise, he would surely be doomed.

He proposed to the Blood Fiend Ancestor, “I have a suggestion. How about we make a bet? If you all win, we’ll drop the matter. But if you all lose, we will proceed as I have said. How does that sound?”

Pei Xuanjing proposed a method, a duel with these people, to make the final decision.

After exchanging glances with each other, the Blood Fiend Ancestor asked, “How does the National Teacher plan to bet?”

With a slight smile, Pei Xuanjing said, “I presume you all are aware of my occasional creation of a Small Thousand World.”

The crowd nodded. News of this matter had reached the ears of every powerhouse in the world. Although they craved the secrets behind it, they also knew it to be a cultivator’s greatest secret, not to be snooped at for now.

Before they had a chance to snoop around, Pei Xuanjing brought it up himself, which caught them by surprise.

He began to speak, “I propose the Small Thousand World as the bet. Everyone could enter it and if you are able to exit within a certain period of time, then I lose and we drop the issue. But if you are unable to escape, then it would mean that I have won. How about it?”

“Fine!”

Hearing the terms of the bet, the Blood Fiend Ancestor immediately agreed, and other powerful figures in the demonic path also agreed without hesitation.

They agreed swiftly, practically the moment Pei Xuanjing voiced the bet, as if afraid he might retract his proposal.

The numerous other cultivators also displayed a trace of astonishment on their faces when they heard Pei Xuanjing’s proposed bet.

It was clear to them that this bet was a gesture of goodwill from Pei Xuanjing, offering the demonic heavyweights a way out.

For these cultivators, particularly those who have reached the seventh level of the Spirit Realm and above, who have walked a long distance on the path of cultivation, they aim to comprehend the natural Tao, understanding the Ultimate Principles and Laws, and to practice their own Tao.

For those cultivators of seventh and eighth level of the Spirit realm, they might not have fully understood the ultimate principles and laws of the universe of their own world, and have not reached the point of paving their own path.

But for these supreme beings, they have already comprehended many Ultimate Principles and Laws. If there is a new world universe revealed in front of them for comprehension, it is bound to be of great help to their cultivation.

The Small Thousand World created by Pei Xuanjing, especially a newly created one, where the principles and laws of heaven and earth have not yet fully concealed, is the best time for comprehension. Those strong beings who enter it, as long as they can understand it, can have great gains.

So, whether they win or lose, for these supreme beings, it’s a win-win situation.

Therefore, everyone understood that this was a compensation from Pei Xuanjing to the supreme beings of the demonic path, a condition to exchange for their compromise.

Like the Blood Fiend Ancestor and others, they naturally understood that they had scored a huge bargain, so they agreed immediately, afraid that Pei Xuanjing might change his mind.

Thinking about this, the supreme beings from the factions who initially supported Pei Xuanjing felt a bit of regret in their hearts, even thinking that they might have agreed too early.

However, before these thoughts could fully develop, they heard Pei Xuanjing speak again, “Dear friends, if you are interested, you are welcome to give it a try.”

He invited the Ancestor Celestial Master, those who initially supported him, and other supreme beings of various factions.

Pei Xuanjing was not one to show such favoritism. These people helped him in the beginning, no matter the reason or circumstance, so he would naturally not owe them anything.

“Since the National Teacher invites us, I can’t decline!”

“Since you’ve invited us, we won’t back down!”

“Thank you, Grandmaster!”

…

None of the supreme beings refused. After receiving Pei Xuanjing’s invitation, they immediately agreed. Not one person refused.

After all, such a rare opportunity should not be missed or let go.
