The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 489: 437 The Emperor’s Mind, The Plan Begins.

And after these tries, he had completely identified the problem. It was none other than the imbalance of his essence, qi, and divine force. The Golden Core or the Golden Core he condensed was unable to perfectly blend together flawlessly. Once it got refined repeatedly, the crack within it grew bigger and bigger. In the end, the Golden Core could no longer be refined and it finally shattered.

However, he had almost did the experiment for the rest of the steps. He just needed to increase the force of the Yin Spirit and there would be a high possibility of condensing a Golden Core.

Next, Pei Xuanjing calmed his mind and started running his methods, healing the wounds he had just received.

The Imperial City, Yangxin Palace.

The Jiajing Emperor was sitting on the couch, pinching a letter just sent by Wang Qiong. His face was cold, it was unknown what he was thinking about.

What was written in this letter was none other than Wang Boan’s reply after studying the Incense Fire God Refining Skill.

“State Preceptor, how should I treat you?” He muttered to himself, his expressions complex.

Actually, Zhu Houji’s feelings towards Pei Xuanjing’s existence was very complicated. He couldn’t clearly differentiate how he should treat him.

From the boy who was crowned at first, he had sat on the emperor’s throne for more than ten years. He grasped the entire court and gathered his soul. He was only one step away from transforming into a Yin Spirit.

But he still had a sense of discomfort in his heart. As the emperor of the Great Ming Empire, he should have been the most respected and noble person in the world. Yet in front of him, there was still a man standing like a mountain. The other party’s glory was just too abundant, already concealing his existence.

But after his crowning, a boy who was originally supposed to be the prince somehow ascended the throne by coincidence. He faced the complex royal disputes and court with unknown depths. His situation was extremely dangerous.

He was clear that if it wasn’t for his collaboration with Pei Xuanjing and accepted him as the State Preceptor, making use of Pei Xuanjing’s reputation, it wouldn’t have been easy for him to overhaul the court.

From this point of view, the other party actually did him quite a favor.

If everything before was part of a transaction, then the kindness of imparting the doctrine was even harder for him to repay.

If it wasn’t for Pei Xuanjing proactively giving the method of cultivation, his talent would certainly have been wasted. He could only waste his youth on the Path of Qi Refinement and Refining Essence. How could he be just one step away from the Spirit Realm?

“I originally wanted to wait for the Divine Dynasty to ascend and break off our kindness then. From then on, we could be treated as equals. There would no longer be a sense of indebtedness to you in my heart. But now, you unreservedly gave me such top level techniques again. What should I use to repay you?” Zhu Houji looked complicated.

He did want to wait for the Divine Dynasty on Earth to ascend and both parties could then take what they needed. This way, he could repay Pei Xuanjing’s kindness and truly face him as a pure collaborator.

But when Pei Xuanjing took out the Incense Fire God Refining Skill, Zhu Houji knew he gained another favor from the other party.

He passed the techniques to Wang Qiong, allowing Wang Boan to appreciate them. But he wasn’t sure what his inner thoughts were.

Was he looking forward to the techniques having no problems or having problems? Perhaps even Zhu Houji himself wasn’t clear about it.

Just as Pei Xuanjing initially said, to treat others sincerely, one did not need to use any means. Let Zhu Houji have the choice and let him decide the relationship between them in the future.

Zhu Houji, who just got the results, fell into silence for a while, not speaking for a long time.

“Huang Jin, what kind of person do you think the State Preceptor is?” He suddenly opened his mouth and asked the eunuch who was serving him by his side.

This Huang Jin was an attendant eunuch who read together with Zhu Houji when he was in the Royal Mansion. He was greatly trusted by him.

When the emperor was thinking just now, Huang Jin was standing quietly at one side, not making any noises. If it wasn’t because the emperor took the initiative to speak, almost everyone would ignore his existence.

With Huang Jin’s words, a smile appeared on his face and he carefully complimented, “How would such a prestigious person like the State Preceptor dare to make casual evaluations?”

“Speak, I will pardon you.”

“Then can I make a presumptuous guess?” Huang Jin knew if he didn’t say anything, it wouldn’t work, so he pretended to smile bitterly.

“In my opinion, a prestigious person like the State Preceptor certainly has great ambitions. In the future, he will surely become immortal and become an ancestor…”

Great ambitions, to become immortal and become an ancestor.

Hearing these two phrases, Zhu Houji’s eyes were filled with a gleam as he fell into deep thought.

Time went by swiftly, the activities in Tiandu never stopped and those outside the border who searched for the location of the dragon vein, prepared to bring the dragon vein’s Qi Luck into the Divine Continent, were almost ready.

One day, suddenly, the Qi Luck Golden Dragon of Tiandu manifested itself, roaring towards the sky. It was clear to the naked eye that this Qi Luck Golden Dragon grew several times bigger in an instant.

“What is this…”

“The Qi Luck of the dragon vein outside the border entered the Divine Continent!”

“Such a majestic Qi Luck, it’s simply beyond imagination!”

“It’s fortunate, if this Qi Luck of the dragon vein hadn’t entered the Divine Continent, maybe a hegemon would have appeared outside the border in the future!”

Countless strong beings were startled by this momentum. Their gazes turned towards the Qi Luck Golden Dragon roaring towards the sky, shocked beyond compare.

Pei Xuanjing looked at the majestic and grand Qi Luck Sea from afar, the light in his eyes flickering.

“Such majestic Qi Luck, it’s indeed worthy of being a unified empire’s ancestral land.” Mu Binghua sighed.

This majestic Qi Luck, although the present Great Ming Empire’s power was a bit inferior to that of the kingdoms in the Sky Wasteland, this majestic Qi Luck was even better than the Qi Luck accumulated by some ancient countries.

“The Qi Luck accumulated by our Great Xue for thousands of years is just a bit stronger than this.” Xue Hanyi also looked complicated.

This was the advantage of a unified empire. After they unified the world, they would receive the favor of Heaven and Earth, and Qi Luck would flourish.

Although the Qi Luck of the Great Xue was a bit stronger, that was the Qi Luck that Great Xue had accumulated over thousands of years. But this Great Ming was just a mere six hundred years old, not even a fraction of the Great Xue’s.

“Wait until Great Ming successfully ascends to become a Divine Dynasty, this Qi Luck will definitely grow again. Even if it can’t compare to the Qi Luck of the top sects, it won’t differ that much.” Mr. Wu said.

By then, the difference between the two would just be the strength of the experts. As long as this Great Ming waited for the complete revival of Heaven and Earth after their revival, to make up for the gap in the strength of experts, it would at least be a top power.

It could be said that in Mr. Wu’s memory, every empire or dynasty that ascended to become a Divine Dynasty was at least a top power.
