Pei Xuanjing and the others had been discussing things within the grand hall for three days and three nights. However, aside from the four of them, no one knew what they had discussed, whether they had made any new plans.

Following this, Bai Xiaosheng voluntarily took over many of Pei Xuanjing’s responsibilities, while Qingxu Taoist and the old Celestial Master began transitioning command of their alliance to Bai Xiaosheng, allowing him to coordinate the upcoming plan.

People like Zhao Baiyang were curious about the information Pei Xuanjing and others had obtained from Xue Hanyi and Xue Hanye, so even after the conclusion of the grand assembly, they did not leave.

While Pei Xuanjing did not divulge everything, he selectively disclosed some information to them, giving them an understanding of the Sky Wasteland and attempting to discourage them from the thought of siding with the other party.

Despite their shock at the news, they claimed that they would adhere to their plan and agreement without any compromise. Nonetheless, they were uncertain about the future and wouldn’t dare to guarantee anything until the day arrived.

“A powerful adversary might awaken one’s fighting spirit, but a vast disparity might also crush the last straw, leading some to thoroughly give up resistance,” Pei Xuanjing muttered to himself.

He braced for the worst scenarios in the upcoming situation, refusing to be overly optimistic about everything.

When faced with a formidable enemy, even foreign tribes might choose to surrender.

Moreover, these old powers were originally part of this world. Some people view their return not as an invasion, and thus, capitulation wouldn’t be an outrageous choice.

“What I can do now is to quickly enhance my power to maintain stability in the upcoming situation,” Pei Xuanjing understood this clearly.

The discussion between the four of them that day further strengthened their cooperation.

Initially, each party was a significant force in the world, holding equal status and cooperating harmoniously. But now, facing the imminent return of ancient forces, their alliance underwent changes. In the Sky Wasteland, both Dragon Tiger Mountain and Bai Xiaosheng’s faction originated from the same origin.

Dragon Tiger Mountain, being a top-tier power with a Ninth Realm Spirit cultivator, hadn’t been maintaining contact for thousands of years. Regardless, it was of the same origin, providing Dragon Tiger Mountain with a safety net.

Therefore, Pei Xuanjing and his associates necessarily required a promise from the old Celestial Master to prevent internal conflict within their alliance.

However, this promise was not initiated by Pei Xuanjing and his team but proposed by Bai Xiaosheng, who shared the same circumstances as the old Celestial Master.

As Bai Xiaosheng previously stated: “In fact, what I’m doing now has completely deviated from the original rules of my lineage. Unless I give up everything I have now, there will inevitably be a split between us when they return, and a substantial battle would break out.”

“Therefore, I promise all of you that no matter what the future holds, I will stand with you, with no hint of betrayal.”

Pei Xuanjing could only guess at Bai Xiaosheng’s scheme without being certain of the root cause. Qingxu Taoist, on the other hand, seemed to understand the reason clearly, so he voluntarily vouched for Bai Xiaosheng: “I, as a part of the True Martial Sect, guarantee this with the sect’s centuries-old reputation.”

Since Qingxu Taoist was willing to vouch, Pei Xuanjing naturally couldn’t insist further. After all, their alliance would crumble on its own if they didn’t reach a consensus before the ancients’ return.

However, Bai Xiaosheng’s actions put the old Celestial Master in an awkward position where he and Bai Xiaosheng shared similar circumstances.

If Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t raised this point, the old Celestial Master could smoothly follow suit. But now that Bai Xiaosheng actively made the split, Dragon Tiger Mountain had to address this issue and make a similar promise.

However, in the end, Pei Xuanjing and the others didn’t press too much. They only asked the old Celestial Master to maintain communication among their parties. If there were people from Dragon Tiger Mountain who wished to return, there should not be any concealment. Even if he chose to withdraw, he couldn’t leak or withhold their plan.

“But any promise, without corresponding strength to withstand it, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be fulfilled,” Pei Xuanjing sneered, ” Bai Xiaosheng’s situation can still be handled. But if a powerful cultivator lands on Dragon Tiger Mountain, even if the old Celestial Master wants to uphold his promise, would he be able to control the situation at Dragon Tiger Mountain then?”

Pei Xuanjing had learned more about the Sky Wasteland from Xue Hanyi. In the Sky Wasteland, although Bai Xiaosheng’s faction, with an Spirit Realm Eightfold cultivator, is considered a top-tier force, they conduct only intelligence transactions, not participating in any internal conflicts of the human race. Their actions clearly deviated from the original purpose of their lineage.

On the other hand, Dragon Tiger Mountain was different. Being a pinnacle power of the human race, they were at the forefront of the fight against the Demon Race. Even within the human race, Dragon Tiger Mountain has always been domineering. When their cultivators return, could the old Celestial Master really persuade them?

Pei Xuanjing didn’t hold an optimistic attitude towards this.

“Time, what I need now is time. With enough time, I can enhance my strength using the simulator, and handle everything accordingly,” Pei Xuanjing’s gaze was dark.

He gently flipped his hand, and a book appeared in his grasp.

[Ten Thousand Spirit Body Forging Skill – Refining it provides 1.5 million Taoyun.]

Hearing the prompt in his mind, the simulation system, a satisfied smile appeared on Pei Xuanjing’s face.

He had never expected that his greatest gain from encountering Xue Hanyi and Xue Hanye this time was not the information from the Sky Wasteland, but this cultivation skill in his hand.

After understanding what he needed, Pei Xuanjing naturally wanted to extract some cultivation skills from the Spirit Realm from them.

Xue Hanyi initially outright refused his demand because her origin granted her access to numerous techniques, but these were royal family secrets and she couldn’t easily disclose them.

However, after being threatened by Pei Xuanjing and learning that he only needed a skill for reference, Xue Hanye had mentioned a skill, the Ten Thousand Spirit Body Forging Skill in Pei Xuanjing’s hands.
