Chapter 1007: 956-957 Eight Directions Clouds Stirring, Discussing Enthroning Gods inside Shen Xiao Hall, Two in One
Countless cultivators and powerhouses from various sects stared at the message in their hands, their minds buzzing, and they stayed silent for a long time without speaking a word.
Even though there had been messages and speculations before, when the news was confirmed, they were still overwhelmingly excited and could hardly contain themselves.
“Longevity!”
This was what countless human race cultivators yearned for, but even those with great confidence in themselves knew that longevity was like the moon reflected in the water, a flower in the mirror—visible but unattainable.
At that moment, when they truly heard that fourteen True Immortals of the human race had declared that Enthroning Gods would grant an opportunity for longevity, it was an unimaginable chance for them.
“Summon someone, prepare gifts, and accompany me to the Xuantian Sect!”
“Take out the treasure that has been in my collection for a long time, I need to visit the Ancestor Celestial Master.”
“Amitabha, I have long admired the Buddhism School; I wonder if they would still accept me.”
…
Countless powerhouses started to take action, their minds set on visiting the immortal sect where the True Immortals resided, hoping to try their luck at obtaining a Divine Position from the True Immortals.
“What about Xue Hanyi? Since she had connections with the Shenxiao True Monarch in the past, why not have her go to Shenxiao Mountain on behalf of me and ask the Shenxiao True Monarch what the requirements are for obtaining a Sealed God Position?” the sovereign of the Big Xue Ancient Country ordered someone to summon Xue Hanyi and her siblings.
In the past, after the Big Xue Ancient Country had descended, it actually had some familial ties with Pei Xuanjing, but because Pei Xuanjing had bound heavenly and earthly cultivators from acting against mortals, the Big Xue Ancient Country felt used.
Even though they had taken advantage of Pei Xuanjing’s help to gain a strategic advantage early on, they later did not deepen this connection.
Latterly, Pei Xuanjing rose rapidly, so quickly that the Big Xue Ancient Country could not react in time. Facing an ascending True Immortal like Pei Xuanjing, though they were a force with a legacy of thousands of years, they could not lower their pride enough to shed their dignity, so the relationship remained distant.
However, that was in the past; now, with the emergence of the Godsealing Plan, the sovereign of the Big Xue Ancient Country had no more room for pride or maintaining his status and cast it all aside.
As the king of an ancient country, if at times he could not even properly judge the situation, then his position would not be secure.
The Great Xue Country Lord had ascended to a Supreme Strong position even before the heavenly and earthly ascension; together with the Spirit Realm Cave Sky inherited by the Big Xue Ancient Country, as long as he proceeded steadily, step by step, the future held hopes of becoming immortal, and naturally, there were no concerns.
But he was not alone; apart from himself, there were the people of Great Xue, and most powerhouses there had no chance at longevity, for many it was a nebulous existence.
Lacking hope would have been one thing, but with the appearance of the Godsealing Plan, that meant there were more opportunities for longevity, and how could the citizens of the Big Xue Ancient Country be willing to give that up?
As the king, if he did not act at this moment, wouldn’t that mean simply enjoying the offerings of his subjects, or even that if he couldn’t secure benefits for his citizens, he would inevitably be abandoned and overthrown by them?
Therefore, at this moment, he couldn’t care less about so-called face and could only dispatch someone immediately to Shenxiao Mountain to pay respects.
This kind of last-minute effort, though, how effective it was, no one was clear.
Compared to the sovereign of the Big Xue Ancient Country sharpening his sword at the eleventh hour, the Da Jiang Ancient Country, as an old rival to the Big Xue Ancient Country, was not so anxious at the moment.
Unlike the beginning of the Big Xue Ancient Country, initially, when envoys from the Da Jiang Ancient Country arrived in the Daming World and met Pei Xuanjing, the atmosphere was not good, and they could even have been considered enemies at that time.
It could be said that if the leader of a faction was hot-headed and stubborn, logically speaking, the animosity would escalate until it reached a point of life and death, pausing only when one side was annihilated.
But in reality, that was not the case. The king of Da Jiang Ancient Country, capable of wielding the ancient country, did not pursue vengeance after investigating Pei Xuanjing’s background and methods and finding him an unbeatable adversary. Instead, he advocated for reconciliation amidst opposition.
“You treat me with an inch of respect, and I will respond with a foot,” Pei Xuanjing’s character was always more receptive to soft approaches than to hard ones.
Since the Da Jiang Ancient Country, despite losses, was still willing to initiate reconciliation, Pei Xuanjing would not refuse, after all, it’s hard to slap a smiling face.
Thus, from an initially tense relationship, things eased and after several exchanges, the relationship became close, even surpassing that between Big Xue Ancient Country and Pei Xuanjing.

Over the years, the exchanges between Da Jiang Ancient Country and Shenxiao Sect had deepened, and with some disciples from the Taoist Academy taking up positions in Da Jiang Ancient Country and Shenxiao Sect disciples taking up roles there for experience, as their interests intertwined, their relationship gradually solidified.
Therefore, even though people from Da Jiang Ancient Country were extremely excited about this Godsealing Plan, they were not as worried as other forces.
Nonetheless, to clarify the situation, even though the sovereign of Da Jiang Ancient Country could not leave due to the need to refine the Spirit Realm Cave Sky, he still dispatched King Yuan, a Supreme Strong, to personally visit Shenxiao Mountain and meet Pei Xuanjing.
Countless cultivators, using their own networks and connections, started trying to find out the details of this Godsealing Plan to see if they could take advantage of this opportunity.
