Chapter 685: Chapter 635: Creating the Heavenly World
The peak of Shenxiao Mountain has dramatically transformed, bearing entirely no resemblance to its previous state.
It can be said that on top of Shenxiao Mountain, Pei Xuanjing, according to his own understanding and with the combination of the magical domain, the power of heaven and earth’s will, and the experience of pioneering the Small Thousand World, created a magical domain on the mountain, which can be deemed as a blessed and forbidden place.
However, the blessed and forbidden place created by Pei Xuanjing is utterly different than the ones created by other powerful beings. He created a Heavenly World according to his own understanding of heaven.
Whether it’s the myths from Pei Xuanjing’s past life or the current Great Ming World in which he resides, there are many descriptions of the Heavenly World. Almost every religious sect or every dynasty has their own understanding and interpretation of the Heavenly Court, and these interpretations often come with numerous conflicts and paradoxes. Thus, Pei Xuanjing could only create his Heavenly World according to his understanding.
According to Shenxiao Sect’s understanding, heaven has nine layers, often referred to as the nine heavens. This concept is derived from the “Scripture of Immeasurable Spiritual Treasure”, which is further interpreted by the sect. In essence, Shenxiao refers to the highest Immortal Realm inhabited by the Taoist immortals. Therefore, Shenxiao Taoist named their sect after it, implying the idea of loftiness and nobility.
Pei Xuanjing agreed with this concept. If he followed this idea to create a blessed and forbidden land, which would serve as a prototype of the future Heavenly World, it could prove the orthodoxy of the Shenxiao Sect.
However, Pei Xuanjing’s ambition goes further. Even though he was born into the Shenxiao Sect, he wants to establish a Heavenly World that encompasses not only the Shenxiao Sect but also includes the orthodoxy of all forces, making these forces a part of his Heavenly World in the future. Therefore, his prototype could not be too narrow.
After a long consideration, Pei Xuanjing decided to build a prototype that mimics the thirty-six heavens of Taoist legends. Since the Divine Position he refined into the Jade Purity True Monarch would eventually be promoted to the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, the ultimate Divinity in the four Imperial Positions.
Of course, with Pei Xuanjing’s current strength, he could not create the entirety of the Heavenly World. Therefore, he only created the Shenxiao House of Jade Purity, where the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life held his court.
