Chapter 623: Chapter 573: The Witch Deity Teaching has a Big Scheme
Inside the Taoist Academy, Pei Xuanjing stood with his hands behind his back, gazing silently at the star-studded sky for a long while.
After he returned from the Star-Viewing Platform in the Imperial City, he stood here alone, contemplating what he had recently seen and heard.
Apart from anything else, the conversations about the Witch Deity Teaching between him and Wu Shijiu had given rise to certain disturbing premonitions within Pei Xuanjing.
During their conversation, Wu Shijiu had shared quite a lot about himself with Pei Xuanjing. Apart from a few confidential details, he hadn’t withheld any information about the Witch Deity Teaching, hence allowing Pei Xuanjing to deepen his understanding of this ancient power that has existed in the Sky Wasteland for thousands of years.
“The original ritual status being replaced by the decorum of Confucianism, and the former ritual masters, the Witch Priests, willingly stepping down only to transform into the Witch Deity Teaching without making any move, is quite odd,” Pei Xuanjing silently pondered.
No individual or power would easily cede their interests, especially when those interests are enormously significant.
The original status of these Witch Priests in the Witch Deity Teaching was highly respected. They had held the rituals since the tribal era of ancient times, and they remained in this eminent position even during the Divine Dynasty of Heavenly Zhou.
This status represented immense interests. Anyone wishing to challenge their status would inevitably face their blowback and suppression.
Even with the rise of Confucianism challenging their position, this should have resulted in an unprecedented great struggle to compete for ultimate victory and the opportunity to enjoy the final benefits.
