The Shenxiao Origin Qi rolled out wantonly, quickly congealing into a legal sword in Pei Xuanjing's hand. The Qi was uncertain, with azure, red, yellow, white, black, and purple light circling it independently, each standing out yet reflecting each other brilliantly.
Created with the same Shenxiao Origin Qi, but this was the true form of Pei Xuanjing. At this moment, he had reached the pinnacle of his power, his strongest state.
Therefore, this legal sword was not inferior to many of the superior divine weapons in terms of its sharpness, and its terrifying aura shocked countless people. The sharp sword Qi that surrounded the legal sword, flashing uncertainly, continuously cut through chaos, slashing the chaotic Qi.
While Pei Xuanjing was forming the legal sword, the momentum on his body instantly became even stronger, the soaring sharpness was unabashedly displayed, as if it was going to pierce through this chaotic world.
In the grey chaotic world, due to the surging sword Qi brought about by Pei Xuanjing, the originally rampant chaotic Qi began to rage, as if it wanted to obliterate Pei Xuanjing, the one who disturbed the peace.
However, unfortunately for it, no matter how rampant the chaotic Qi was, it could not approach Pei Xuanjing within three feet; his boundless sword Qi effortlessly obliterated the chaotic Qi.
Pei Xuanjing swung the sword outward, releasing terrifying sword intent without reservation. It combined with the power of his peak state, shaking the grey chaotic world, and chaotic Qi burst forth.
The terrifying sword Qi roamed through the grey chaotic world, and in an instant, Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire surged, sweeping all within the chaos. You could see limitless energy transforming into Tai Chi, and Tai Chi wanting to transform into various phenomena such as storms and thunder, after which it stabilized Yin and Yang, evolved the Yin and Yang dual meaning, opened up the clear and turbid Qi, the clear Qi rising to form the sky, and the turbid Qi sinking to form the Earth.
With continued fracturing of chaos, countless chaotic Qi began to slowly evolve, stimulating the transformation of the entire chaotic world.
And then, Yin and Yang differentiated, the Three Talents were established, the Four Images evolved, the Five Elements separated, the Six Harmonies opened up, the Seven Stars gathered, the Eight Directions were fixed, forming the Nine Palaces, the Heaven and Earth above and below made up the Ten Directions.
Pei Xuanjing stood still in the void, all the changes occurring in the chaotic world had no impact on him, as he was in the midst of them, not influenced by the thousands of laws.
To this world, Pei Xuanjing was the creator, the opener. Everything in this world belonged to him, and these forces could not hurt him at all.
At this moment, the continuously evolving chaotic world suddenly stagnated, and the next moment, everything between heaven and earth stopped, it seemed to want to return, and even collapse.
Countless chaotic Qi began to counteract, just like rivers flowing backward. In an instant, everything that had been evolved was swallowed again, and everything returned to chaos.
A surprise flashed in Pei Xuanjing's eyes, he frowned, and without hesitation, he swung his sword again. The chaotic world changed again, but it didn't last long, it seemed to have exhausted its power like the previous time, again, chaos counteracted, and turned again into chaos.
After several times, Pei Xuanjing found this to be the case.
He had a rough guess in his mind, so he met again.
When the chaotic world began to evolve, Pei Xuanjing didn't continue to wait quietly, but directly waved his hand, and the Sanbao Jade Ruyi appeared.
He activated the Sanbao Jade Ruyi, directly sacrificed it, and instantly, the Sanbao Jade Ruyi emitted a terrifying divine might, and its light illuminated the entire chaos…
Boom!
The chaotic world issued a shocking, thorough sound, countless unmatched divine light shone, instantly illuminating the chaotic world, the original force that was not up to speed, seemed to have been replenished, countless Earth, Water, Wind, Fire power surged and the clear and turbid Qi quickly separated, rising and falling.
At this moment, the Sanbao Jade Ruyi used to suppress the chaotic world suddenly exploded and turned into a streak of light, disappearing in a blink of an eye.
Pei Xuanjing was first shocked, a surprised look flashed in his eyes. This Sanbao Jade Ruyi was a divine artifact he had refined at a great cost, it was what he used to control the Heavenly Divine Position. If lost, even if re-refined, it would inevitably have a big impact on his current strength.
In the current situation, with those at the peak of the Nine Realms of Spirit from the Sky Wasteland about to arrive, losing the Sanbao Jade Ruyi would at least cost Pei Xuanjing three-tenths of his power, which would be extremely unfavorable to his safety.
However, suddenly, the surprise in Pei Xuanjing's eyes disappeared, replaced by a smile.
Because he found that although the Sanbao Jade Ruyi had turned into a streak of light and dissipated, the divine consciousness he had retained after refining was still intact.
Through his divine consciousness retained in the light of the Sanbao Jade Ruyi, he sensed that the streak of light turned into countless pieces flowing in the chaotic world, constantly being washed by the chaotic Qi, constantly refining this streak of light.
The Sanbao Jade Ruyi, which was originally refined by Pei Xuanjing using top-level divine materials, after being washed and tempered by this chaotic Qi, became more profound and gained some inexplicably mysterious aura.
After an unknown amount of time, the countless streaks of light gathered again and re-condensed into the Sanbao Jade Ruyi in Pei Xuanjing's hand. Now, the Sanbao Jade Ruyi had undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before.
Firstly, the light of the Sanbao Jade Ruyi was more restrained, its body revealing an ancient chaotic luster, no longer as dazzling and outspoken as before.
Moreover, this Sanbao Jade Ruyi became rounder, constantly exuding a profound aura, many of the runes and insignia that Pei Xuanjing had engraved on it also began to connect, autonomously evolving.
Pei Xuanjing could sense that this Sanbao Jade Ruyi became stronger. If the previous one could only serve as a medium for Pei Xuanjing to control the Heavenly Divine Position, now it really transformed into a divine artifact, possessing extraordinary power and divine might, capable of destroying heaven and earth.
Pei Xuanjing watched quietly from the void as heaven and earth continued to evolve, observing the changes in the creation of heaven and earth. Numerous truths of heaven and earth leaped in his eyes, flying and dissipating, forming countless legendary scriptures, recombining and transforming…
At this moment, Pei Xuanjing entered a state similar to the Unity of Heaven and Man, fusing with this chaotic world, with the principles of Heaven and Earth laid completely before his eyes without any hindrance, allowing him to freely peruse, as if there were no secrets at all.
Originally, with Pei Xuanjing's enlightenment, he didn't deliberately maintain it, and the legal sword in his hand should disappear, but surprisingly, it didn't.
Instead, the legal sword in his hand seemed to feel the Dao of its master and began to emit a slight humming sound, as if it was rejoicing.
Pei Xuanjing slowly opened his hands, and the Six-Color Sword in his grasp flew out, floating before him in an upright position. The remaining chaos energy after creating the world also merged into the sword. This Six-Color Sword was continuously refined, forged, and made more subtle and humble by the chaos energy. Its power was also more substantial.
Moreover, as this heaven and earth continued to open up, countless principles of heaven and earth appeared. While Pei Xuanjing was comprehending them, these Taoist skills and principles also began to be imprinted on this sword, making it more solid.
Watching this sword being refined, Pei Xuanjing didn't continue to pay attention, but instead focused wholeheartedly on the process of creating heaven and earth, observing the evolution of this small world to gain insight into the mysteries of creation.
Such an opportunity to witness the initial creation of a small world was a once-in-a-millennium chance for any cultivator. He closed his eyes and felt the changes in this small world.
"Hmph!"
"Ha!"
In the dark, it seemed as if Pei Xuanjing heard these sounds continuously echoing in his ears.
Although they were just simple hums and hahas, they were filled with mystery, as if they had been blessed with some mysterious and unpredictable power, continuously echoing in this small world.
The evolution of this small world, accompanied by the sound of hums and hahas, seemed as if it had come to life. A mysterious breath instantly enveloped the entire small world.
In Pei Xuanjing's memory, it was rumored that these hums and hahas were the sounds of the creation of heaven and earth, the sound of the Great Tao, and had incredible divine power.
Originally, when Pei Xuanjing was using the sword to break through the chaos and open up this chaotic small world, he had tried to chant himself, hoping to gain the hidden support. However, to his disappointment, from beginning to end, he had not received any response or support.
Unexpectedly, just when he had put this matter aside and began to observe and comprehend the process of the evolution of heaven and earth, he would unexpectedly hear such a mysterious sound of the Great Tao.
The Sanbao Jade Ruyi in his hand also began to flicker, seemingly resonating with the sounds of hums and hahas. The runes on the round body of the Sanbao Jade Ruyi flickered and were full of color.
"This Divine Kingdom should be complete now…" Pei Xuanjing, seeing the already evolved small world, revealed a smile.
Originally, for a small world, Pei Xuanjing's current powerful strength had completely exceeded the world's load-bearing capacity and it simply could not accommodate his existence.
However, the prototype of this world was formed by refining his primordial Qi and the countless power of belief incense fire. Now, as the creator, Pei Xuanjing is naturally a different matter.
He could feel that this world was very compatible with him, and he had an inseparable connection with this world. It seemed that everything in this world was under his control, and he could appear anywhere in this world as long as he wanted and was willing.
The creation of a world will inevitably produce many divine materials and spiritual treasures, and many naturally born treasures. With the continuous growth of the world, these would slowly become extinct…
The small world opened up by Pei Xuanjing is the same as any other world, even if it is the smallest one. With Xuanhuang Qi permeating and Yin and Yang Qi flowing, Pei Xuanjing naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to collect these divine materials and spiritual treasures.
...
Just as Pei Xuanjing stepped into the world he created, the originally turbulent sky instantly calmed down and returned to its usual tranquility, as if nothing had happened just now.
Looking at the calm sky, many original onlookers were stimulated, their eyes filled with shock. They did not understand how everything disappeared suddenly.
Even though many cultivators have divine abilities to come and go without a trace, just now this majestic momentum was in front of their eyes, creating a terrifying scene, almost clearly falling into everyone's eyes, attracting the attention of countless people, but now it disappeared in an instant, which was hard to grasp.
Unless these people who can observe Pei Xuanjing's every move are not weak cultivators, even if the top cultivators, they can catch some traces of them.
But at this moment, Pei Xuanjing's disappearance, along with everything else, quietly disappeared, and they could not detect any trace, which was very terrifying.
All the strong men's eyes stared at the place where Pei Xuanjing disappeared. They believed that what Pei Xuanjing did would not be so simple and would not stop so easily. There must be follow-up, so they all chose to wait.
"You two, what do you think he wants to do?" Zi Tianxiong asked Zhao Baiyang and Tie Qianshan next to him with a complex expression.
For the grand situation that Pei Xuanjing created, they were naturally disturbed.
After all, when Pei Xuanjing was preparing to expand many Taoist Academy branches, they instinctively felt that Pei Xuanjing's move must have a huge plan, so they laid down many spies.
Although Pei Xuanjing didn't take any action in the past thirty years, according to some subordinates who were promoted to the position of dean of the Taoist Academy, they have learned a lot about the secrets of the Academy, and they clearly understand that there must be some mysteries in this Academy that they don't know about.
And not to mention anything else, the fact that the dean of the branch can contact Pei Xuanjing's spiritual consciousness and summon Pei Xuanjing's avatar when necessary surprises them. Of course, what makes them most envious is the power of belief incense fire accumulated in the academy over the past thirty years.
After all, as more and more people from the Sky Wasteland descended, they learned a lot about the cultivation of this Spirit World and knew the role of the power of belief incense fire.
You should know that after the Great Ming Divine Dynasty was promoted, their factions also received some divine positions. Although the offerings of these divine positions still depend on the Great Ming Divine Dynasty and rely on the power of belief incense fire shared by it, they are very clearly aware of the empowerment of these refined divine positions.
If the factions previously did not understand the use of the Heavenly Divine Position and just thought it was a method to prolong life, then when Pei Xuanjing recently competed with the avatar of the Taixu Venerable, he enjoyed the empowerment of his Jade Purity True King's Divine Position and his power, the factions would naturally no longer underestimate the Heavenly Divine Position.
"I don't know, but such a grandeur, if Brother Pei does not have any plans, I'm afraid no one will believe it," Zhao Baiyang said with a light laugh.
He naturally understood Pei Xuanjing very well. Every action he had along the way was full of deep meaning, yielding the maximum gains, and he would never be at a disadvantage.
In Zhao Baiyang's eyes, at this critical juncture, Pei Xuanjing is still facing the threat of the Canglang Palace, as well as the possibility of retaliation at any moment from the powerhouse at the Ninth Level of the Spiritual Realm – the Taixu Venerable. This situation is not as relaxed as many people think.
But at this crucial moment, Pei Xuanjing is gathering his energy, waiting in reserve for the enemy to arrive, stirring up such a grand momentum. He must have made a decision, believing that he would gain massive benefits. Otherwise, he wouldn't do so.
"With our power, whatever the other party is planning, we can't participate. We can only watch," said Tie Qianshan gravely, a smile appearing on his face: "However, regardless, at least this time we do not need to travel. He is indeed as rumored, not reserving or disguising his cultivation path. The understanding we gained from witnessing his Taoist Skill was enlightening."
Tie Qianshan was optimistic, aware that even though initially, they stood on the same line, they could no longer keep up with the other's pace, only left watching from far away.
Therefore, in his view, whatever Pei Xuanjing's plans or intentions are today, they have nothing to do with him. Even if Pei Xuanjing's actions today have significant benefits, looking around at the countless powerful individuals, each one of them formidable. If a conflict arises, he's unsure if he can escape unscathed from their grasp.
Just now, Pei Xuanjing displayed his cultivation path without reservations, allowing everyone to watch and learn. This attitude is unmatched by him.
"Indeed, we can only act as spectators and cant participate," Zhao Baiyang nodded in agreement.
Their gains today were not insignificant, as they learned a lot from witnessing Pei Xuanjing's demonstration. It would be a great help for their future path, to reach the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm. They were at least clued in on the path ahead.
When numerous cultivators were looking astonished and discussing what had just happened, there was a resonating roar that resounded through them.
Boom!
As if the sound had emerged from the inception of Heaven and Earth, it clearly echoed in everyone's ears, whether their cultivation was high or low, all of them heard this sound distinctly.
Then, they saw a matchless divine light tearing apart the void and shattering it instantly where Pei Xuanjing had disappeared. Pei Xuanjing appeared there.
He was holding the anciently refined Sanbao Jade Ruyi in his hand, an aura of terrifying pressure emanating from him, causing the void to tremble. He looked down on the world as if a god, indifferently sweeping his gaze over everything. No one dared to meet his gaze wherever it swept.
"This is!"
"Impossible!"
"He has actually opened up a small world!"
…
Many powerhouses revealed shocked expressions, gaping incredulously at Pei Xuanjing's location.
What shocked them was not Pei Xuanjing, or the terrifying pressure he emitted, as they had already experienced such things and were quite familiar with them. They were not surprised.
What amazed them was what appeared slowly behind Pei Xuanjing after his reappearance.
When Pei Xuanjing shattered the void and emerged holding the Sanbao Jade Ruyi like a god, the Sanbao Jade Ruyi in his hand began to emit an ancient light, locking the void. When the void expanded to a certain extent, the ancient light completely fixed it, preventing it from expanding further, and gradually stabilizing it, as if forming a portal.
The objects that appeared behind the portal were what shocked these powerhouses the most and what they found hardest to believe.
Clear and murky Essence Qi were separating, mountains and rivers stretched out, the sky full of stars shining, various mysterious Life Essences swirling. A newly formed small world appeared before everyone's eyes.
With the help of the portal opened by Pei Xuanjing, the small world was temporarily connected to the Daming World. As these two worlds connected, it naturally caused the void to shake, and countless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi interacted.
Boom, the Daming World shook. Countless primary forces flowed into the small world, aiding and stabilizing the small world as the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi elevated again.
The Daming World, a top-tier world, was incomparable to the small world opened by Pei Xuanjing alone. When these primary forces entered, the originally small world, where Pei Xuanjing had to divide his attention to suppress Earth Water Wind Fire, began to stabilize, and the clear and murky energies began to separate, life grew naturally.
Everything works hand in hand instead of being individually reaped.
The Daming World spent countless primary forces to stabilize the small world, while the newly formed small world, originally full of myriad Life Essences, also began to counter flow with the primary forces flowing into the Daming World, resulting in gold flowers falling from the sky, golden lotuses sprouting from the ground. One after another, the miraculous phenomenons changed the Daming World as if the level of the world was slowly rising.
"He didn't open up a Blessed Land or Cave Heaven; he opened up a small world," whispered a powerhouse in astonishment.
Opening up a Cave Heaven or Blessed Land seems similar to opening up a small world, but they are entirely different.
For many mighty cultivators, opening up a Cave Heaven or Blessed Land is not impossible if they have enough power and resources. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many Forbidden Places and Blessed Lands circulating in the Daming World.
However, opening a small world – that's an act even the mightiest cultivators at the Nine Realms of Spirit find hard to pull off.
For thousands of years, cultivators in this world have been pursuing the Immortal Path, seeking immortality, and staying in this world forever. They have put in countless efforts and trials. The seemingly outrageous and impossible idea of world creation has also been mentioned.
For many powerhouses, the life of this world is infinite. If they can create a world and merge with it, then as long as the world is not destroyed, they can exist eternally and possess formidable power.
However, the reason this idea is considered arrogant and impossible is that world creation is too hard. Many powerful individuals understand that if they can enter the Chaos, shatter the Chaotic Qi, and suppress Earth Water Wind Fire, they can create a world, but very few can actually do it, or it can be said, there haven't been any.
When this idea was first mentioned, many powerhouses tried to enter Chaos to shatter Chaotic Qi, suppress Earth Water Wind Fire and open up a new world. But in the end, no one was successful. Those who were lightly affected, retreated with severe injuries, while those who were severely affected died outright.
This series of powerhouses falling and getting seriously hurt finally woke up many strong men, who gave up on this impossible idea.
At this time, someone thought of a workaround, and that was the path of Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.
