Chapter 830: Chapter 780 The Status of Master and Disciple
Wu Shijiu came in haste, and just as quickly he departed, not lingering long on Shenxiao Mountain, and Pei Xuanjing did not ask him to stay longer.
At this juncture, they were both wholeheartedly dedicated to cultivation, and there was no need to dwell on such formalities. Since the purpose of Wu’s visit had been fulfilled, both needed to prepare for their own affairs before the merger plan of the two realms commenced. Why delay each other unnecessarily? Whether it was Pei Xuanjing or Wu Shijiu, they had a long future ahead with plenty of opportunities to meet again, not limited to this moment.
The arrival and departure of Wu Shijiu had not greatly impacted Pei Xuanjing; however, some items Wu had left behind did pique Pei Xuanjing’s interest.
“[Page of the Netherworld’s Book*3, refining it can yield 3,000,000 Taoyun points.]” Pei Xuanjing held the Page of the Netherworld’s Book, which was neither gold nor jade, his eyes filled with amusement.
This item had been brought by Wu Shijiu, but it was not actually his; instead, it was Zhu Houji who had used Wu Shijiu as a conduit to give it to Pei Xuanjing.
Initially, the Page of the Netherworld’s Book had greatly aided Pei Xuanjing’s rise, but as his power surged, the value of the Netherworld’s Book to him diminished, becoming somewhat superfluous. Although he had instructed the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect to collect it, he wasn’t particularly keen on securing it, harboring no deep sense of loss or gain.
The three Pages of the Netherworld’s Book that Zhu Houji sent through Wu Shijiu were much thicker than those Pei Xuanjing had obtained from the Underworld, with each page’s Taoyun value being more than ten times that of the originals.
Although the three million Taoyun points were but a drop in the bucket compared to the one hundred million points needed for a single simulation, the value of the Pages of the Netherworld’s Book was not limited to that; the secrets they contained were even more crucial than the Taoyun points.
“Even if you are wholly devoted to the Tao, seeking the heart of longevity fiercely, as an emperor, you still value your own identity, constrained by being the Divine Dynasty Lord. The identity of the emperor outweighs your identity as a cultivator, which is why you entertain such doubtful thoughts,” Pei Xuanjing mused.
