Chapter 582: Chapter 530: Everything Happens 30 Years Later
In the subsequent days, the whole world fell into a state of thorough tranquility. Every powerhouse was focusing on their cultivation, even those who returned from the Sky Wasteland didn’t cause any massive upheaval.
This was because everyone knew that the revival of heaven and earth would reach its peak in thirty years. During these remaining thirty years, the world will undergo drastic changes and the highest principles of the universe will be most clearly manifested.
For cultivators in the Spirit Realm, it was the most favourable time for cultivation due to the abundant spirit mechanisms between heaven and earth. Special moments like this were ideal for cultivation purposes.
Pei Xuanjing, of the Taoist Academy, was also satisfied with this situation. He knew that his strategy of making an example of one person to educate others had worked and that these people had settled down. They would not dare to challenge him without adequate power.
Of course, he was also very well aware that these people weren’t content with their losses. They were just forced to suppress their ambitions by circumstances, waiting for the right moment and for the return of more powerhouses.
“I’ve secured thirty years of peace. Everything after that will depend on the situation when those people return in thirty years.” Pei Xuanjing pondered in his heart.
He was well aware that everyone was waiting – be it the powerhouses of the Great Ming World or those who returned from the Sky Wasteland, supporters or opposers of his rules. They were all watching, waiting for the final judgment in thirty years.
In thirty years, if Pei Xuanjing had the capability or the power to enforce his rules upon those returning from the Sky Wasteland, these rules will become universally acknowledged.
However, if Pei Xuanjing couldn’t compete with these people, he could potentially become a common target for attack, the focus of everyone’s attention.
“Let’s wait and see!” A hint of coldness surfaced on Pei Xuanjing’s face.
Thirty years was a long enough period for him. If used wisely, he could not only promote the Taoist Academy completely but also enhance his Sanbao Jade Ruyi and personal abilities using countless powers of incense faith.
He would also accumulate enough Taoyun value for at least one life simulation during this period. In such circumstances, Pei Xuanjing anticipated great gains.
Even if he made no progress in these thirty years, relying merely on his present strength, he would have adequate power to protect himself even if he couldn’t enforce his rules.
After all, when he stepped into the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm and condensed his Golden Core to the sixth level, Pei Xuanjing’s abilities had already put him at the pinnacle of the world. With his current power, he was confident in holding his own in the Spirit Realm Eightfold. Hence, when he showed his true abilities, he would undoubtedly have a significant say, regardless of the arrival of these forces.
Despite this, Pei Xuanjing was not at all negligent. There were countless powerhouses in the Sky Wasteland, and no one knew how many millennial old monsters or bizarre divine powers were there which could pose significant threats to him.
In the following days, Pei Xuanjing lived a tranquil and peaceful life again. He focused his attention on selecting people for the various branches of the Taoist Academy.
After several preachings, based on the insights gained from these people regarding the preachings, Pei Xuanjing had chosen suitable instructor candidates.
This time, Pei Xuanjing paid attention to their abilities and as long they were not engaged in unethical deeds, he would select them fairly, disregarding their background, origin, level of support from other forces or any hidden intent, accepting all unconditionally.
“Won’t there be any problems by accommodating all these people?” Qingyang Zi asked, looking at the candidate list in his hand, his brows furrowing slightly.
Unlike Pei Xuanjing, who rose rapidly and focused entirely on cultivation, having little contact with the various forces of the world, Qingyang Zi, as a former tutor to Emperor Wuzong and elder of the True Martial Sect, had many interactions with the forces of the world, and was very familiar with skilled people in these forces.
During this period, while Pei Xuanjing was preaching, he almost completely identified all those who were here for the selection and knew that many of them were surreptitious agents of various forces.
Hence, when he saw these names, he frowned in doubt, wondering if letting these people into the Taoist Academy was a good decision.
“No worries, let them do whatever they want, as long as it doesn’t interfere with my plans and doesn’t violate the rules of the Taoist Academy. As long as it’s within a reasonable limit, let them act according to their thoughts,” Pei Xuanjing replied, indifferent.
He didn’t concern himself with the intentions and motives of these people because he only needed to hold onto the core things of the Taoist Academy.
The future core of the Taoist Academy would be the countless cultivation skills that Pei Xuanjing had accumulated, as well as some cultivation insights and cognitions.
Once his statue was erected in the branches of the Taoist Academy, anyone wanting to exchange for cultivation skills would have to go through Pei Xuanjing. Holding onto this rule would ensure that these things wouldn’t be stolen.
Furthermore, the role of statues within the Taoist Academy was not limited to this. It also functioned as a surveillance and reporting device. If any students or instructors felt they had been treated unfairly, they could feed back to the spirit consciousness left by Pei Xuanjing through the statue for him to handle.
“In that case, it is indeed the best option,” Qingyang Zi said, satisfied after hearing Pei Xuanjing’s words.
The Great Ming Divine Dynasty is vast, encompassing countless Taozhou territories, prefectures, and counties. Even for a Spirit Realm cultivator like Qingyang Zi, managing such a vast number of Taoist branches can be tiring. However, if he ignored it completely, based on his understanding of these people, they would most definitely make trouble for testing purposes.
Now that Pei Xuanjing had said his split spirit consciousness could keep an eye on each Taoist branch, although not all the time, it at least served as a warning to those people so they wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.
After all, the fact that Pei Xuanjing’s avatar could descend at will had already spread out. Nobody would ignore this fact.
Yet, even though Pei Xuanjing had made precautions in place, Qingyang Zi wouldn’t leave everything to fate.
He had already decided that when assigning these people, he might make some adjustments in the candidate list.
For example, he would put people from the Demonic Cult and Buddhism School, those from royal families, and outsiders together.
