Translator: 549690339

Pei Xuanjing slowly raised his sword, his actions slow, his swordsmanship plain and unremarkable, yet his aura was constantly increasing. The Shenxiao Origin Qi filled the four corners, in blue, red, yellow, white, black, and purple. These colors dyed the entire sky and enveloped dozens of miles around.

Under this sword move, one could feel not only the bright sword intent, comparable to the great sun, but also the vitality of spring, the heat of summer, the bleakness of autumn, and the chill of winter.

The Four Seasons Rotation was unpredictable, endlessly generating life. It seemed as if there was no beginning and no end, a cycle that went on forever.

Pei Xuanjing stood there, his body moving with his sword, his sword following his heart. At this moment, he seemed to merge with heaven and earth, resonating an indescribable rhythm.

At this moment, Pei Xuanjing’s essence, energy, and spirit combined as one, the power generated had already reached its zenith, surpassing the power of this world.

If he were to strike with this sword, it will surely shake the heavens and earth.

At this moment, heaven and earth were no longer assisting Pei Xuanjing, but rather, they were hindering him. The will of the heavens and earth was now fixated on him.

“The Door of Celestial has appeared!”

Ye Daoyuan and others gasped in surprise from a distance.

High in the sky, a door appeared, with intricately etched patterns, radiating an immortal aura.

Their faces were filled with horror, they didn’t understand why this was happening, why the Door of Celestial would appear at Pei Min’s call.

Didn’t they say that when Empress Wu ascends to the Celestial Human Realm, the Door of Celestial would open?

Why was it Pei Min, a being who was merely at the Half-Step Heavenly Being stage not long ago?

However, the two who understood the situation the best didn’t offer any explanations.

Pei Xuanjing was indifferent to the urging from the heaven and earth. His gaze was fixed on Empress Wu, he declared loudly: “This sword, Shenxiao Heaven’s Intention, I ask the Empress to appreciate.”

With one strike of the sword, the divine power was prison-like, slicing through life. The path of the sword glow turned into a vacuum, it was as if the sword of heaven had descended, like a white rainbow piercing the sun.

“You…”

Seeing this sword coming head-on, the countenance of Empress Wu turned chill, a sense of urgency filled her heart.

At this moment, she faced this predicament, having caught a tiger by its tail.

For her to face a sword strike from one who had attained the Celestial Human Realm, it was not too terrifying, as long as she used the power of the Celestial Human Realm, she would definitely easily withstand this sword.

But if she were to employ the power of the Celestial Human Realm, she would inevitably attract the attention of the will of heaven and earth, especially with the Door of Celestial nearby. It would be immediately locked and forced her to ascend.

But if she were to ascend, regardless if she became a celestial being, it would be considered a failure to her. All her painstaking schemes would be in vain.

Yet, if she didn’t employ the power of the Celestial Human Realm, she simply couldn’t resist. Against this sword, it would be difficult for those below the Celestial Human Realm to resist, the chances of survival were slim.

Moreover, even if by chance she survived under this sword, she would definitely be severely injured. However, the current situation wouldn’t allow her to be injured.

Therefore, the situation was a stalemate at this moment.

However, Empress Wu was no ordinary person after all. She resentfully glared at Pei Min, a hint of refusal flashed in her eyes.

Boom!

An intimidating aura exploded from her, a genuine Celestial being’s aura. She lightly swung her palm, blocking the strike of that sword.

However, similarly, her aura was also noticed by the will of heaven and earth, and enveloped by the Door of Celestial.

“You have ruined my plan, and you have to pay the price!” Killing intent appeared on Empress Wu’s face as she attempted to kill Pei Xuanjing.

Her plan failed again at this moment, causing her to seethe with resentment.

If that’s the case, she definitely couldn’t let the other party have it easy. She would kill this guy first, then contemplate if she could deceive the Door of Celestial and test if there was any chance of recovery.

“Hmm?”

Pei Xuanjing saw that Empress Wu was approaching with murderous intent, causing his hair to stand on end.

As expected, Heavenly Ascender is terrifying. Once they no longer hold back, the strength they display is frightening.

He knew if there were to be a battle, he would surely die.

His eyes swept towards the Door of Celestial beside him, Pei Xuanjing immediately made a decision. He decisively struck the Longevity Sword in his hand downward at the Door of Celestial.

Bang!

The tremendous shock almost made his hands numb. Even with his robust body, it was hard to bear such a terrifying counter-shock. His Longevity Sword was even knocked out of his hand.

But Pei Xuanjing achieved his goal. At this moment, the Door of Celestial trembled and produced a great suction force towards Pei Xuanjing.

Just then, Empress Wu’s palm strike landed on Pei Xuanjing’s body.

With a wisp of a smile at the corner of his mouth, Pei Xuanjing said, “I request Your Majesty, rise with me!”

He didn’t dodge Empress Wu’s palm, but instead operated the mysterious Universe Shift to borrow her strength. The energy of Empress Wu was adhered, and both were enveloped by the Door of Celestial and went inside.

“Taoist Friend Ye, the matters afterwards are left to you…”

Everything happened in the time of a snap. Ye Daoyuan and others were dumbfounded, gazing at the gradually disappearing Door of Celestial.

“Celestial beings…”

Looking at the two rising figures, Ye Daoyuan couldn’t help but murmur.

“Yes, it’s the first time in thousands of years for someone to ascend to become a Celestial again!”

“The realm we have been dreaming of…”

The four of them sighed with diverse expressions.

Ye Daoyuan looked at the two remaining and said to them: “Do the two Taoist friends still want to continue?”

Master Zhiyuan and the Sect Master of the Demonic Cult, Ying Tian Sheng, looked at each other, silent.

There was definitely no way they could continue to fight, and there was no point either.

The Empress they supported had already ascended and become a celestial being. There was no one left who could replace the Empress’s position.

Therefore, there was already no significance for them to continue fighting to the death. Even if they won, what then? Could they expect to replace the Empress to seize power?

Impossible!

Ying Tian Sheng was the most decisive, he said to Ye Daoyuan: “I need a guarantee, I need the emperor’s guarantee, to let this matter end here and never pursue it again.”

Master Zhiyuan also had the same demand.

Ye Daoyuan understood that compromise was the most suitable solution at this moment. After all, the two in front of him were also on the Half-Step Heavenly Being level. If they were truly desperate, the final result would be mutual destruction.

Thus, he agreed.

At this point, everything was already settled. Even if there were still conflicts, the intensity would never be as severe as before, and it would not affect the succession of the emperor.

As the Empress ascended, there was no longer any hindrance to the emperor. He smoothly cleared the court, then implemented his own political strategies.

When the news of Pei Xuanjing’s confrontation with the Empress, and their summoning of the Door of Celestial to ascend reached all around the world, it caused a great upheaval.

Especially when the news spread, that Pei Xuanjing’s Longevity Sword, the Ten Thousand-Forged Divine Weapon, did not ascend with him, but was left behind, it drove countless people into a frenzy, all wanting to seize this divine weapon left by a celestial being, in order to probe the secrets of the Celestials.

Decades later, the son of a wealthy merchant acquired the sword by chance, henceforth, he rose all the way, creating a name for himself with his poetry and swordsmanship.
