Chapter 611: Chapter 561: Nine Orifices Divine Gold

Pei Xuanjing was taken aback, and somewhat surprised. He had prepared to act given No Phase True Monarch’s aggressive stance just now, assuming that if he didn’t intervene, it seemed today’s matter wouldn’t come to an end.

But, to his surprise, just as he revealed his Spirit Realm Eightfold strength, the No Phase True Monarch swiftly changed his demeanor, seemingly avoiding conflict. This left Pei Xuanjing momentarily at a loss.

His understanding of the No Phase True Monarch came mostly from the anecdotes of people in the Sky Wasteland, according to whom, he was not one to be easily placated.

If not for the unfeigned realm of the other’s cultivation, he would have thought the True Monarch to be an imposter.

“Heh-heh.” Pei Xuanjing merely smiled and looked at No Phase True Monarch, saying nothing.

At that moment, the figure of the Deer Elder appeared behind the No Phase True Monarch.

“Master?” The Deer Elder looked at the No Phase True Monarch standing against Pei Xuanjing, his gaze sweeping over to Pei Xuanjing. With just an order from his master, he would spring into action without hesitation.

The Deer Elder had been reading information in a room within the courtyard. Despite Pei Xuanjing having shared many details about this world with him, there were still many things he needed to understand on his own.

He had certainly noticed the appearance of the No Phase True Monarch, but he didn’t pay much attention. From his perspective, his master was so powerful — having defeated many powerful beings of the sixth stage — and this was merely a cultivator equivalent to the mid-sixth stage, similar to his own cultivation. He deemed the situation unworthy of concern and didn’t make any movements.

However, when the No Phase True Monarch released his momentum, the Deer Elder naturally responded. Even though he was sure his master was not afraid, he, being a subordinate, didn’t think his master should need to act personally in this situation.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, the Deer Elder appeared here. Standing in front and behind the No Phase True Monarch respectfully with Pei Xuanjing, they juxtaposed him, exerting pressure from both sides.

“What? Another Spirit Realm Eightfold demon king appeared, calling him master!” No Phase True Monarch looked at Deer Elder who had appeared behind him, his heart pounded with shock.

He was already profoundly shocked by Pei Xuanjing, who was not even a hundred years old, and now another Spirit Realm Eightfold demon king had appeared.

What was even more astounding was that he had heard the demon king personally address Pei Xuanjing as his master.

Who exactly was he, who could actually subdue a Spirit Realm Eightfold demon king.

It’s well known that most of the demons in the Sky Wasteland were untamed, the stronger the demon, the more so. They would not easily submit to the human race and would rather choose death instead of submission.

The demon kings who existed among the humans now were mostly demons they had raised since childhood. They were not at all similar to naturally occurring demon races.

“Did Pei Xuanjing suppress the news after his breakthrough and kept the Spirit Realm Eightfold demon king’s existence secret, preparing some mischief, and this True Monarch has accidentally walked into a trap?” No Phase True Monarch speculated to himself.

Reviewing what he knew about Pei Xuanjing’s history, he felt more and more that his inference should be correct.

This world is about to awaken, and Pei Xuanjing, no doubt, being the strongest in the ancestral land, will be the first to face many returning forces. So, even if he breaks through, he won’t announce it, waiting for the opportunity to kill powerful individuals to establish his dominance.

“True Monarch, rest assured, as for today’s incident, this regent has seen nothing and knows nothing. I absolutely won’t leak any information,” No Phase True Monarch said.

Although he had only came with an avatar, if possible, he’d prefer not to lose it.

After all, while it would be simple for him to re-form an avatar, a strong one like this isn’t easy to create. It requires countless time and resources. In the coming Great World era, losing this avatar would be quite a loss for him.

Pei Xuanjing didn’t know how much the No Phase True Monarch had speculated in such a short time. Seeing the other party’s attitude, he signaled the Deer Elder not to make a move for the time being.

After all, he is not unreasonable. Though the other party intimidated with power, there was no intent to kill. Pei Xuanjing didn’t necessarily want to kill him either.

More importantly, he could tell that the opposition was only an avatar. Killing the avatar alone would not eradicate the problem, and would undoubtedly create a troublesome enemy for him.

Moreover, if he killed No Phase True Monarch’s avatar today, regardless of the reason, it would inevitably evoke a sense of rejection from many cultivators in the Sky Wasteland.

“I was in a hurry today and did not bring many things with me, so treat this as a gift of congratulations on your breakthrough.” With a pained expression, No Phase True Monarch took out something.

Nine Orifices Divine Gold, which was a rare divine gold found in Sky Wasteland. However, the greatest use of this divine gold wasn’t for refining magical objects, but for practising avatars, a premium item.

Under normal circumstances, No Phase True Monarch would never be willing to present this divine object and use it as a bribe for Pei Xuanjing in exchange for the opportunity to leave.

“Indeed, then I appreciate True Monarch’s kindness.” Pei Xuanjing smiled and accepted the divine gold without a fuss.

While he could summon avatars at any time through his spiritual consciousness and the power of the incense fire, he was clearly feeling that the avatar had restrictions. With the help of Nine Orifices Divine Gold, perhaps he could create a more powerful avatar that possessed greater combat power.

Seeing Pei Xuanjing accept the divine gold but still not letting him go, No Phase True Monarch gazed at him in confusion, wondering whether he intended to take both the goods and the person and then renounce the debt.

Just as he was preparing himself to have a do-or-die battle, he heard Pei Xuanjing suddenly laugh and say: “Actually, there is another matter that requires True Monarch’s help.”

The statement mildly eased No Phase True Monarch’s apprehension. Something to discuss was better than nothing. Now, he was under siege and was at Pei Xuanjing’s mercy. There was no alternative.

“Please, Master, say it.” He had prepared himself to comply, provided the request was not too excessive.

Pei Xuanjing said, “True Monarch should have heard that I had previously mentioned to the many forces of Sky Wasteland that arrived: Spirit Realm cultivators must not fight against ordinary martial artists or the public. The fighting should avoid locations within the Human Clan city. I wonder what True Monarch’s thoughts on this are?”

Since it had reached this point, Pei Xuanjing decided to go all the way and take this opportunity to pressure No Phase True Monarch into signing this restriction agreement.

However, the other party’s response was beyond Pei Xuanjing’s expectations.
