Chapter 1258 -s 1206-1207: Holy Position?
Shenxiao Domain, Taoist Palace of Longevity.
This palace was built by disciples of the Shenxiao Sect for Pei Xuanjing as a manifestation of their deep respect for him, which Pei Xuanjing did not refuse.
At this stage in his cultivation, his heart was solely focused on the Great Tao. Whether it was a magnificent palace or a simple Taoist temple made of stone and earth made no difference to him, neither affecting his cultivation.
However, apart from being a cultivator, he was also the Ancestral Master of countless disciples of the Shenxiao Sect and a pioneer in cultivation pursued by people between heaven and earth.
Cultivating the Immortal Path, but that did not mean he had to forsake the Path of Humans, as these paths were not completely contradictory; he was a True Immortal, a Profound Immortal, but also a member of the human race.
As the Longevity Taoist Monarch and a True Immortal, worldly possessions mattered little to him, and he could devote himself entirely to the Tao. However, as Pei Xuanjing of the human race, he should not be elusive but down-to-earth and in harmony with all beings.
Sometimes, Pei Xuanjing himself could not tell whether he truly wanted this, or if he was simply trying not to let the mindset of the Immortal Path influence him and wanted to establish a cornerstone for his humanity, to anchor his own nature and not lose himself.
"Immortal Path, Path of Humans, Divine Tao, heart of an immortal, heart of a human, heart of a god." Waves of thoughts rose in Pei Xuanjing’s heart as he pondered unknown matters.
As a pioneer of the Immortal Path, Pei Xuanjing had no roadmaps or experiences to reference. Everything he had encountered was unprecedented and until the very end, he was unsure whether his choices were right or wrong.
Since his Enthronement, or one might say, after his last simulation of life was complete, Pei Xuanjing found himself in a peculiar state, noticing occasional shifts in his mood, sometimes compassionate towards the world, at other times seemingly heartless like gods and devils.
Thus, upon realizing that his Taoist heart was being affected, he decisively took the opportunity of his Divine Position Enthronement to create a Divine Tao incarnation and separated a portion of his True Immortal Realm, transforming into the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life.
Indeed, although Pei Xuanjing was on the path of a Three Proofs True Immortal as a Profound Immortal, the realm of his True Immortal cultivation related to the Immortal Path had been divided, leaving him incomplete, merely having the power of two Proofs True Immortals.
This situation was unknown to all, even to the established True Immortals, as Pei Xuanjing’s strength was too remote for them. Whether he had the power of Three Proofs True Immortals or Two, it exceeded them all, and they could not possibly detect it.
