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.”
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.”
