Chapter 509: Chapter 457: The Method and Cost of Stripping the Divine Position

While it is said that the Divine Position was consolidated by the Divine Dynasty, Pei Xuanjing saw it more as a gift from Heaven and Earth that initially necessitated support from the Dynasty to exist.

However, with the continual ascent of the Divine Position to a certain level, it gains the right to independence. Such independence, for a Divine Dynasty possessing the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, incites harm and no small loss. The independent Divine Position will dissipate quickly like a rootless duckweed if it loses the nourishment of Qi Luck.

At present, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty has just been established. If the Divine Position gains independence now, the Dynasty may fall apart entirely. Therefore, Pei Xuanjing, along with Emperor Jiajing, reached an agreement to wait until the Divine Dynasty Luck is full and can afford the Divine Position to be independent.

Of course, all parties must bear the losses incurred by the independence of the Divine Positions. Subsequently, they also need to have enough Luck to nurture these Positions.

Pei Xuanjing examined the people around him, paused, and said, “However, offering Qi luck to nurture the Gods results in considerable consumption. Given your current circumstances, it might be more harmful than beneficial.” free𝑤ebnovel.com

According to Pei Xuanjing’s estimation, even if Heaven and Earth continue to recuperate, only a handful of entities could truly afford to make the Divine Positions independent and subsequently sustain them with Qi Luck. After all, it is not a small expenditure but a perpetual burden.

Regarding the situation of the several parties, though Pei Xuanjing was unclear about how their luck was distributed, they most likely couldn’t support many Divine Positions at once.

Knowing his Shenxiao Sect’s situation best, Pei Xuanjing understood that although they could nurture a few Divine Positions, it would inhibit the sect’s development in the long run. It would make more sense to wait and depend on the imperial court for support for now.

He spoke frankly, “Right now, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty has just ascended and its Qi Luck is limited, so the Divine Position cannot be detached. But if your respective sects’ Qi Luck is sufficient in the future, you can fully convert the Divine Position for your use, nurturing it with the luck of your sect.”

Huge consumption of Qi Luck.

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions turned somber.

At this time, they all looked at the quiet Daoist Qingxu. Among them, only the True Martial Sect had two Gods who had refined Divine Positions during the initial breaking of the Heaven and Earth seal.

For many years, these two have hidden on Mount Taihe, and their exact conditions remained unknown, which only aroused more curiosity in them.

The moment Daoist Qingxu saw their gazes, he understood their thoughts. To prevent any resentment among them, he forced a bitter smile and said, “What the Daoist said is true. The Qi Luck required to nurture a Divine Position is vast.”

Their True Martial Sect had the most authority to attest to this. Their two Gods had extraordinary power to serve as the heritage of the True Martial Sect.

However, the considerable daily spending of Qi Luck also stunned the head of the sect. If not for the profound heritage of the True Martial Sect spanning six hundred years and their relations with the imperial court amassing abundant Qi Luck, they would not be able to bear it.

Seeing Daoist Qingxu’s acknowledgement, others nodded their heads. After all, if it was indeed so, they didn’t need to rush to carry this burden for now.

“Given this, the solution proposed by the Daoist seems to be a good one.” The Daoist Xuanming contemplated for a moment and said.

He also understood Pei Xuanjing’s intentions, which was the equivalent of a “buy now, pay later” method. For now, they weren’t qualified to enfeoff the Divine Position and support it, so the Great Ming Divine Dynasty would temporarily cultivate it for them.

Once they have enough strength and resources in the future, they could purchase it back with Qi Luck. Both parties would settle the debts peacefully and part ways.

Bai Xiaosheng and the others nodded in agreement with this plan.

After consensus was reached on the matter, Pei Xuanjing went on to describe his ideas for the Taoist Academy.

“This academy will serve as a pilot project. I hope that you all can send people as instructors, and any suitable disciples can be sent to study at the academy.”

Actually, with his Shenxiao Sect’s backing, Pei Xuanjing could gather and support the academy himself, but he chose not to.

Firstly, the academy he wanted to create was for teaching all martial artists worldwide. If only Shenxiao Sect members served as instructors, there would be no distinction from the sect’s disciples, rendering the academy meaningless.

Secondly, by merging with others and having them send disciples, various philosophies could teach the disciples, leading to a diversity of outcomes that would benefit Pei Xuanjing.

Having heard about Pei Xuanjing’s plan earlier, they had all agreed.

“In that case, shall we all go meet those people together?” Pei Xuanjing invited everyone to accompany him.

Surprisingly, everyone declined his invitation.

Given the stability in the world, they did not care much about other matters as long as Pei Xuanjing did not attempt to break up the alliance or harm their interests as his power grew.

After all, times have changed.

Currently, they had interacted a lot with Xue Hanyue and others who had returned from Tianhuang, and understood the implications of reaching the sixth level of the Spirit Realm, which Pei Xuanjing had far surpassed.

There was inevitable disappointment, but it spurred their ambition to strive more. Since all matters seemed settled, there was no need to waste words with those people.

After all, judging from the previous sacrificial ceremony, if there can be one strong individual from the Sky Wasteland entering the sixth level of the Spirit Realm, there certainly can be a second or a third.

It would be better to spend this time enhancing their strength, ensuring a more comfortable posture facing any future events.

Seeing their refusal, Pei Xuanjing did not push them. He left the palace alone to receive the representatives from various allied powers.

However, Pei Xuanjing was not too courteous with these people. He did not want to waste words, so he directly relayed his intentions and rough regulations for them to discuss among themselves.

Out of the one-third share of Divine Positions taken from the emperor, Pei Xuanjing and the Taoist School he represented will take two-thirds, and the remaining share would be allocated to them. Their share in the higher-ranked Divine Positions would be even lesser.

Regarding the request for independent Divine Positions, Pei Xuanjing did not hide it, as it was to be ultimately compensated to the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. He could only distribute a fraction.
