Chapter 838: Chapter 788 No Qualification

In the midst of the Chaos, endless Gang winds brutally ravaged, shredding divine souls and scattering flesh; their formidable force annihilated anything that obstructed them. Waves of Chaos surged like tides, as if Chaos itself were a living being, breathing in and out vast amounts of Primordial Qi. Even a wisp of Chaos Qi was enough to overwhelm cultivators at the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm.

Pei Xuanjing wore a Taoist crown on his head and a profound Daoist robe on his body, arranged according to the Four Seasons and Five Orders, with lightning coursing uncertainly around him. In his eyes swirled a mysterious light, while the Sanbao Jade Ruyi in his hand radiated an ancient glow.

He stood firm within the outer Chaos, with Chaos Qi around him vanishing and reforming, each cycle akin to the birth and destruction of worlds, a terrifying power that even he, Pei Xuanjing, found disconcerting.

He had come here to prepare for the fusion of two worlds. According to the original plan, after the Sky Wasteland realm initiated the formation technique, a force would burst into the Chaos. Pei Xuanjing’s task was to anchor the coordinates in the Chaos, draw in that force’s origin, and pull it into the Great Ming World, fully connecting the two worlds.

Indeed, the Chaos was terrifying; even the strands of Gang wind could cause irreparable harm to the souls and bodies of cultivators. Ordinary cultivators couldn’t enter it, and only true powerhouses who had stepped into the Nine Realms of Spirit had the qualification to tread within the Chaos. Other cultivators, even those at the seventh or eighth realms with top-level Divine Weapons to protect them, could not linger in it for long.

However, there were no laws within the Chaos, only the eternal Great Tao, different from the Law of Heaven and Earth in ordinary worlds; this was the most fundamental law of Chaos.

Therefore, even for supreme strong ones, if they lacked special means to transform the Chaos Qi into their Primordial Qi and relied solely on their stored Primordial Qi, they would have to exit the Chaos once it was depleted, lest they fall.

It’s said that Chaos was the origin of the Worlds of Heavens, birthing the naturally-formed Primordial Demon Gods, leaving behind endless myths, leading to the birth of countless worlds and the appearance of latter-day beings.

“As the novels of my former life say, Chaos birthed three thousand Primordial Demon Gods who inherently wielded the Great Tao and possessed endless might, immortal and indestructible; death for them was but a return to Chaos.” Standing amidst this Chaos, Pei Xuanjing recalled some rumors. Unfortunately, in this vast expanse, he could not sense any traces of life or demon gods, either because time had obliterated and buried everything, or because his current realm was insufficient to probe such depths, leaving the Chaos before him merely a void.

“The embryonic membrane of Heaven and Earth blocks out the Chaos Qi, otherwise, if it were to enter freely, all beings would be unable to survive, facing only destruction, even supreme strong ones included,” Pei Xuanjing remarked with a sigh.

As beings of the Great Ming World, both Pei Xuanjing and others naturally received the protection of Heaven and Earth. This was the mercy of Heaven and Earth, the compassion for all living beings.

“Chaos nurtures worlds while the embryonic membrane of Heaven and Earth shields living beings from Chaos’s threat, yet the worlds themselves constantly draw in Chaos Qi, transforming it into Primordial Qi, fuelling the source of the world and promoting the ascension of Heaven and Earth,” Pei Xuanjing observed, as he witnessed the mingling of Chaos and the embryonic membrane, experiencing a revelation.

At that moment, thoughts arose in his heart, wondering if by tempering his physical body within this Chaos, he could absorb and strengthen it, accelerating the transformation of his own body.

“Church Master, I have heard that during this ascension of Heaven and Earth, there are powerhouses who wish to break through to become True Immortals?” Wu Shijiu’s voice surfaced beside Pei Xuanjing, interrupting his musings.

As one of the few supreme strong ones in the current Great Ming World, Wu Shijiu, after mending his own foundations, had followed Pei Xuanjing into the Chaos, ready to assist him in completing the task of connecting the two realms.

Apart from Wu Shijiu, there were also several other Supreme Strong from the Demon Race, as well as those dispatched by the top forces of the Sky Wasteland Realm.

The might of Heaven and Earth is so vast that, even with Pei Xuanjing’s power, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, it isn’t easy to perfectly channel the power of the Sky Wasteland Realm into the Great Ming World. He, too, needed assistance.

Of course, even if Pei Xuanjing could do it alone, those top forces, as well as the Demon Race, would inevitably dispatch some Supreme Strong to arrive in the Great Ming World to help Pei Xuanjing. The implications of this were self-evident.

Pei Xuanjing did not refuse nor reject the arrival of these people, and as for their represented meaning, he did not care. With their help, he could save a great deal of effort and address more matters, such as what Wu Shijiu was now asking.

Hearing Wu Shijiu’s words, Pei Xuanjing’s gaze settled on the unpredictable Chaos, and he replied via telepathy, “Indeed, there is such a matter.”

There are no absolute secrets Between Heaven and Earth; as soon as more than two people know something, it generally means more will find out.

Even if Wu Shijiu wasn’t in the Sky Wasteland Realm while in the Great Ming World, now that he had ascended to the Strongest Realm, he was qualified to know some things. Not to mention the news sent to him and Pei Xuanjing by the messengers dispatched by the Witch God Sect Leader; after Bai Xiaosheng’s arrival, he would surely be informed as part of stirring up the situation.

“So, Taoist Friend also wishes to use this opportunity for ascension?” Pei Xuanjing asked.

“Haha, the National Advisor jokes. I, who took a shortcut to breakthrough, am lucky enough to have mended my foundation—how could I harbor hopes for such a thing at this time?” Wu Shijiu said with a bitter smile, his heart filled with a few more sighs.

He had indeed ascended to the Strongest Realm. Pei Xuanjing once said to seize the moment and breakthrough before Heaven and Earth Ascension so that when the fortune descended afterward, even if there was a gap between him and those veteran Supreme Strongs, it wouldn’t be too large, and he’d still have the chance to catch up.

But nobody expected how unpredictable life could be, and how quickly things could change. These veteran Supreme Strongs did not give any chance for the newcomers to catch up, attempting to breakthrough at this very moment, to reach the sky in one step.

This made Wu Shijiu feel incredibly complicated. His ascension to Supreme Strong had already consumed a considerable amount of his foundation before he took advantage of a loophole to reach this step, barely managing to fully restore his foundation after the breakthrough.

Now, as a newly ascended Supreme Strong, at best, he could use the opportunity of Heaven and Earth Ascension to advance a bit further, but as for breaking through to True Immortal, he was not even qualified to attempt it. It was simply impossible.

“What I mean is, with the National Advisor’s power and foundation, is there really no preparation?” Wu Shijiu’s gaze turned towards Pei Xuanjing.
