The Heavenly King’S Pavilion was a force that had suddenly risen in the Jianghu several decades ago. Its master, the Zi Heavenly King, had formidable strength with numerous experts under his command, making it a major power.
According to Bai Xiaosheng, if it weren’t for the short duration of the Heavenly King’S Pavilion’s rise, lacking the depth of other major powers, he even had the idea of listing it on the Supreme List.
Just this alone proved that the strength of the Zi Heavenly King was unfathomable, comparable to the supreme powers in Jianghu.
He chuckled, not taking this matter to heart, and continued to browse.
According to Pang Hong’s letter, he recently planned to explore a forbidden place with friends, hoping that this practice could allow him to step into the Fifth Realm.
Pei Xuanjing nodded satisfactorily. It seemed that Pang Hong hadn’t neglected his martial arts cultivation in his adventures in the Jianghu over the past two years, which pleased him.
“Time flies, I’ve been in this world for thirty-two years now,” Pei Xuanjing reflected.
He thought back to sixteen years ago when he activated the simulator, allowing him from being a nameless recruit in a small town in the Border County to step by step reach his current position.
If it wasn’t for the aid of the simulator, Pei Xuanjing might still be stuck in the Everlasting Observance.
“No, without the help of the simulator, I might have died in the expansion efforts of the Zhang Family, or died in the Mire Sect’s uprising in Northwest Dao. I don’t think I would have lived peacefully to today,” he thought about the events that occurred in the Northwest Dao, his expression becoming mysterious.
In the following days, Pei Xuanjing ceased his training, taking it step by step while walking on Shenxiao Mountain.
Observing nature, understanding the truths of Heaven and Earth, experiencing the Four Seasons Transformation.
This was what Pei Xuanjing was doing.
He peacefully walked on Shenxiao Mountain, contemplating the environment, imagining the transformations of the four seasons in his mind’s eye.
Spring’s Mysterious Orchid, Summer’s Condensed Lotus, Autumn’s Fire Chrysanthemum, winter’s cold plum; spring’s vitality, summer’s vivacity, autumn’s transience, winter’s solemnity;
Spring’s exuberance, summer’s liveliness, autumn’s silence, winter’s silver dance; spring’s stirrings, summer’s cicada song, autumn’s leaf fall, winter’s warm sunshine.
The Shenxiao Heavenly Will Sword technique was also being continuously refined, gradually taking a more complete shape.
Regretfully, the tranquil and quiet time was soon disrupted.
Pei Xuanjing stood at the peak of a mountain, speaking slowly, “Since the Sect Leader is here, why not appear before me?”
“Haha…”
The voice came first before the person.
A hearty voice arrived from afar, and the figure of the gracefully dressed Maitreya Sect Leader Zhao Baiyang appeared.
Pei Xuanjing wore a faint smile on his face, his hands behind his back. His robes fluttered with the mountain wind, floating as if he were ready to ascend to immortality.
Already knowing from the life simulator that Zhao Baiyang would come, he wasn’t surprised by the appearance of this person.
“Years have passed, and your skills have deepened even more, truly surprising me,” Zhao Baiyang appraised Pei Xuanjing, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
His words didn’t contain any exaggeration. Even though he had anticipated Pei Xuanjing’s progress, on seeing him today, he was astonished at Pei Xuanjing’s growth in martial arts.
If he compared the Pei Xuanjing of today to the one he’d met before, they were like two different people.
If the Pei Xuanjing of the past was a sharp divine sword, then the Pei Xuanjing of today had found a suitable sheath, concealing his sharpness, seemingly with the intention of returning to simplicity.
“After many years, Sect Leader, you’re doing better than ever!” Pei Xuanjing replied.
From the news he gathered through Bai Xiaosheng and Yu Zhenzi, the current Maitreya Sect Leader Zhao Baiyang had never been idle during this period.
In these years, Zhao Baiyang had swallowed numerous White Lotus Sect’s branches with formidable momentum, seemingly intending to regain control of the White Lotus Sect.
Right now, the White Lotus Sect’s branches were threatened with extinction, fearing to be annexed and had to form an alliance to resist him.
“Hahaha, it can’t be compared to you. Although residing within Shenxiao without leaving, the momentum of Yu Zhenzi and others in the Jianghu is quite impressive!” Zhao Baiyang laughed.
He was referring to how Yu Zhenzi and others had taken over the forces originally under the Lord of Shenxiao Gate. They had Pei Xuanjing backing them, and on top of that, Bai Xiaosheng and the True Martial Sect’s subtle support, making a lot of moves this year.
Others might not know, but could he be unaware of the identities of Yu Zhenzi and the others?
In his eyes, all these were the work of Pei Xuanjing, he was the one who orchestrated everything from behind the scenes.
And for that reason, he was even more convinced about Pei Xuanjing’s intentions, he surmised that Pei Xuanjing intended to re-establish the Shenxiao Mountain Gate, and everything done by Yu Zhenzi and others was paving the way for his goal.
Since Pei Xuanjing had this kind of goal, that meant they both had similar interests, which increased his chances of pulling the former into his plans.
Hence, his visit to Shenxiao Mountain today.
Pei Xuanjing simply smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Zhao Baiyang•s words.
Actually, he didn’t care much about the actions of Yu Zhenzi and the others. He had simply told them to make noise in the Jianghu, as a warning shot to the major powers, letting them understand that the Shenxiao Sect was about to return.
Pei Xuanjing wanted to use this opportunity to test and draw these people out. He wanted to see clearly what kind of attitudes these major powers held, whether they were friendly or hostile towards the Shenxiao Sect, it didn’t matter..
