Time, for these people standing here now, is incredibly significant.
Whether it’s Zhao Baiyang, Qingxu Taoist, Xue Wuheng, or those once standing on the edge of the Mortal Realm in the Daming World, if anything, they lacked time.
The revival of Heaven and Earth indeed compensated for their spent time, elevating their abilities dramatically, surpassing centuries of cultivation of many cultivators in the Sky Wasteland. However, for them, it was still insufficient. They desired more time for their talent to be transformed into explicit and dependable strength. Especially in this day and age, no one wants to be left behind.
They all understand just how important their current plan is. Perhaps, this could be the only opportunity for them to overcome their own deficiencies against these more formidable competitors. If this chance were missed, there would never be another one.
“I’m about to retreat and cultivate for a while. If you all don’t have any other issues, you may leave now,” said Xuanjing Pei to everyone.
“We understand and take our leave.”
Everyone nodded in agreement and departed, but two people stayed silent, as if they had something to discuss with Pei Xuanjing.
Zhao Baiyang and others cast their eyes at Emperor Zhu Houji and Qingxu taoist, without inquiring any further, turned around and left.
“What can I do for you two?” Pei Xuanjing inquired.
Now within the palace, only the Qingxu Taoist and Emperor Zhu Houji remained, but both seemed hesitant to start the conversation.
Pei Xuanjing understood their hesitations and turned to Qingxu Taoist, “Taoist friend, I surmise I might have an idea about your intentions. If you don’t mind, please wait for me for a moment in the rear hall.”
“That should be fine.” The Qingxu Taoist nodded, followed by an address to Zhu Houji, “Your Majesty, excuse me, I will take my leave.”
“Taoist friend, don’t be overly polite. It’s my fault for keeping you longer.” Zhu Houji responded with a nod.

The Qingxu Taoist chuckled, didn’t say anything else, and turned to retire into the rear hall.
Once he departed, Xuanjing Pei turned his gaze toward Zhu Houji.
At this appropriate moment, Zhu Houji started, “Master Pei, about the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, it’s not that I didn’t wish to tell you. However, this issue is of great importance, and I am worried about leaks…”
No matter Pei Xuanjing’s demeanor, he still needed to justify himself to Pei Xuanjing and express his stance.
Zhu Houji had complicated feelings about Pei Xuanjing’s presence. The protection provided by such a mighty advisor was the reason for the stability of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty today and gave them enough time to grow.
Even today, though Pei Xuanjing had stopped participating actively in the affairs of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, his shadow still loomed large over it and had a profound impact.
Think about the existence of the Taoist Academy. Countless disciples graduate from the academy every year and enter the offices and rivers and lakes of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. This is a formidable force, and something the council elders fear. They worry that one day the Great Ming Divine Dynasty will no longer belong to them.
Attaining the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, Zhu Houji has become infinitely stronger, boosting his confidence in handling any situation.
Naturally, even with Xuanyuan Divine Sword at his disposal, he didn’t think he could challenge Pei Xuanjing, much less have the thought of turning against him.
“This matter is of no consequence. As long as the Great Ming becomes stronger, it will be beneficial to me without any harm. You don’t need to overthink it,” Pei Xuanjing interrupted Zhu Houji from continuing on, as it was unnecessary.
Concerning the trade between the Witch Deity Teaching and the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, Pei Xuanjing was not concerned or interested in it. Even otherwise, if he sought to know the specifics of the transaction, the Sect Leader of Witch Deity Teaching wouldn’t have concealed it.
As for Zhu Houji keeping the Xuanyuan Divine Sword a secret, Pei Xuanjing thought it didn’t matter. Wu Shijiu once mentioned the existence of the Xuanyuan Sword in the Witch Deity Teaching. However, Pei Xuanjing expressed no interest. He was surprised that such a thing was directly given to Zhu Houji.
After all, observing the actions that the Witch Deity Teaching took in trading with them, they seem to have given up a lot. However, to ask for something, they must also deliver something of equal value in return. Their contribution must mean the things they seek is of greater value.
“Regardless of their intentions, the Witch Deity Teaching paid a hefty price. The things they want will surely not be simple. Please be mindful of your actions moving forward, Your Majesty,” Pei Xuanjing warned Zhu Houji.
Despite the negligible assistance he now provided to the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, Pei Xuanjing remained somewhat devoted. Unless absolutely necessary, Pei Xuanjing did not wish to see the court situation of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty worsen.
Without mentioning his old friends and relatives there, the development of the Taoist Academy also relied on the assistance of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. Moreover, the current order, whether perfect or not, at least it maintained peace in the world.
If the court situation of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty were to collapse, it would be a catastrophe for the ordinary martial artists of the world.
“I understand,” Zhu Houji nodded seriously and said, “This is what I wanted to discuss with Master Pei.”
The Witch Deity Teaching is a top force in the world. Zhu Houji knew very well the power of the Witch Deity Teaching through Wu Shijiu, much more than many other first-class forces did.
Such powerful forces giving so much to them, as an emperor, Zhu Houji naturally understood there was no such thing as a free lunch. They must have a larger conspiracy in mind.
Connecting it with the secret of the Human Emperor’s Heavenly Court he discovered, he thought that’s probably the conspiracy of the Witch Deity Teaching.
“As for the true intentions of the Witch Deity Teaching, even now, I can’t be certain,” Pei Xuanjing shook his head slightly.
For such a power as the Witch Deity Teaching, without deep understanding, there was no way to discern what they were planning.
The Witch Deity Teaching that has been passed down for thousands of years could be considered the oldest power in this world without exaggeration. Besides the conflicts between the human race and the demon race, they have never involved themselves in any internal disputes within the human race.
Therefore, not even Pei Xuanjing, let alone the other top powers in the Sky Wasteland, could figure out what the Witch Deity Teaching intended to do.
