Chapter 673: Chapter 623 I Don’t Need It

“Is there truly a method in this world that can allow one to break through to the Nine Realms of Spirit?” Zhu Houji asked Wu Shijiu with doubt, “If that’s the case, then why are there so few powerful beings in the Nine Realms of Spirit in this world?”

By now, Zhu Houji is no longer the ignorant novice he was when it comes to the Cultivation World. At his level, whether it is some experiential knowledge from the Cultivation World or his understanding of cultivation realms, he is clear about the difficulty of crossing from the Spirit Realm Eightfold to the Nine Realms of Spirit. It’s an insurmountable chasm, difficult to overcome.

If the Witch God Sect Leader’s words are true and he can easily help Wu Shijiu breakthrough, then there would be many strong beings in this world. If it was so easy to cross this chasm, then the number of powerful beings in the Nine Realms of Spirit wouldn’t be so rare.

“It’s not a hundred percent guarantee, but it will help to increase the success rate to some extent,” Wu Shijiu explained to him.

Coming from the Witch Deity Teaching, Wu Shijiu knew that not only the Witch Deity Teaching, but most of the ancient, top powers in this world possess such methods. Although it can’t guarantee absolute success, it does have the confidence to boost the success rate.

He knew even better that when it comes to breaking through realms, no one has a hundred percent guarantee.

The Witch God Sect Leader telling him that there is a method to increase the success rate could be considered sincere, but if he assured him that he was guaranteed success, Wu Shijiu would have suspected that the other was deceiving him.

…

“Increasing the chances of breaking through to the strongest of the Nine Realms of Spirit?” A glint of light flashed in Pei Xuanjing’s eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

He never expected the Witch God Sect Leader’s offer to be this. This was something he’d never known before.

Their negotiation started straight to the point without any circuitous roundabouts.

At first, Pei Xuanjing asked why the Witch God Sect wanted to cooperate with the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, and the Witch God Sect Leader stated their reasons, except for some core aspects.

According to the Witch God Sect Leader, their teachings have been passed down since ancient times. They were originally the officials in charge of the human race’s worship rituals. They had been trusted by the rulers of the human race throughout generations, and they had learned many secrets of the human race.

The cultivation method studied by the Witch God Sect was inseparable from this dynasty. They needed to gain the recognition of the dynasty and be nourished by the Dragon Qi to take their cultivation to the next level.

As for why the Witch God Sect did not get involved when other historical dynasties appeared in the past tens of thousands of years, the Witch God Sect Leader didn’t say, but Pei Xuanjing could roughly guess.

When each dynasty was established in the historical eras, their power had already reached its peak. Whether it was the master of the dynasty or the strong ones in the court, all possessed extremely powerful strength. The various powers intertwined and there was simply no room for the Witch God Sect to insert themselves.

Even if the Witch God Sect is a top power in this world, they cannot easily grab a position within it, and if they get involved easily, they may face a combined attack from multiple parties.

Over the thousands of years, any Divine Dynasty that was established, dominated its time. Even a top power such as the Witch God Sect cannot provoke it easily.

Therefore, for the Witch God Sect, if they want to cooperate with a dynasty, they either need to support the dynasty themselves or choose an appropriate time to join.

The emergence of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty this time presents a good opportunity to the Witch God Sect. Although the Great Ming Divine Dynasty has advanced and developed at this moment, it has not yet reached its peak. They still need opportunities to grow, they still need the help and support from various forces.

So this is the opportunity that the Witch God Sect values. As long as they can get Pei Xuanjing’s permission, they can proceed with the next step of their plan smoothly.

Pei Xuanjing understood that these were just superficial reasons, and the Witch God Sect must have a larger scheme inside that is closely related to the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, otherwise, they would not stop at this.

However, Pei Xuanjing didn’t want to delve too much into this because everyone and every force has their own aspirations and objectives, and Pei Xuanjing himself was no exception.

“No profit, no rise early”, although Pei Xuanjing did not know what the Witch God Sect Leader had promised Zhu Houji and Wu Shijiu, it was definitely not a small benefit. Otherwise, they would not have agreed so readily and changed their attitudes.

Therefore, Pei Xuanjing still held his initial attitude. As long as the other party’s plotting didn’t affect his own plan, Pei Xuanjing didn’t mind. All he needed was enough benefits from the other party.

“It seems the secrets of this world are indeed numerous, to even contain such divine arts and secret skills,” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.

He did not expect the offer given by the Witch God Sect Leader to be like this. Originally, he thought that to breakthrough from Spirit Realm Eightfold to Nine Realms of Spirit was a huge challenge that only relied on one’s own talents and hard work in order to become a powerful being.

Now the Witch God Sect Leader is telling him there are some assisting methods and secret skills that can increase the success rate.

If that’s the case, then why are the powerful beings in the Nine Realms of Spirit in this world still so rare?

Pei Xuanjing was puzzled, so he directly asked, “Shouldn’t these secret skills have some hidden problems?”

If these Divine Arts and Secret Skills were simply this useful, there definitely wouldn’t be so few powerful beings in the Nine Realms of Spirit. Therefore, in Pei Xuanjing’s view, there should be potential problems.

“There’s no hidden problem, it doesn’t affect anything at all,” the Witch God Sect Leader directly denied Pei Xuanjing’s guess.

He said, “This Divine Art and Secret Skill have no hidden problem and side effects, but it’s not easy to use it. Not to mention the treasures of heaven and earth that it needs, which ordinary cultivators simply cannot collect. The most important thing is that it requires a powerful being in the Nine Realms of Spirit to strip out a part of their Taoist Skill as a primer.”

“So that’s how it is!” Pei Xuanjing suddenly understood.

No matter how many treasures of heaven and earth are, if you really try to collect them, you will be able to gather them one day. But requiring a powerful being in the Nine Realms of Spirit to strip out a part of their Taoist Skill, that’s very difficult.

After all, even for the powerful beings in the Nine Realms of Spirit, the Taoist Skills they practice and perceive are not so easy to obtain. Stripping these Taoist Skills means they will lose their perception of these aspects of the Taoist Skill. If they want to perceive them again, they have to start all over again. This is a loss of strength for the powerful beings, and no one would readily do that.

“What do you think?” asked the Witch God Sect Leader.

He believed that he was sincere in this condition. After all, even though Pei Xuanjing currently possesses the battle power of the Nine Realms of Spirit, he is still in the Spirit Realm Eightfold. He must be extremely eager to breakthrough this realm, so this condition is already very generous.

However, Pei Xuanjing’s response completely caught him off guard and left him somewhat frozen.

“I refuse! Or rather, I don’t need it,” Pei Xuanjing said.
