The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 704: Chapter 654: Clearing the Immortal Path

In the Domain created atop Shenxiao Mountain, inside the grand hall where Pei Xuanjing and others were located.

All of them silently sat on their respective seats, with their eyes closed. They were sensing the special favor of heaven and earth bestowed on them at the moment, seizing this chance to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth. After all, such an opportunity was rare even for any cultivator, let alone the strong ones amongst them.

Of course, Pei Xuanjing was not one of them.

Although the amount of the favor of heaven and earth he had just received was more than the others’, compared with the original favor of heaven and earth on him, it still fell far short. He didn’t care much about it, and as always, integrated it into the Sanbao Jade Ruyi, which made his Divine Position even stronger, and no other reaction was seen.

He merely sat silently in the main seat, waiting for the others to digest what they had gained this time.

After a long time, these powerful beings gradually returned to their senses. But the grand hall remained as silent as before, with only a few familiar cultivators exchanging glances with each other.

The most powerful beings also exchanged glances with each other, as if they had something to say.

As for this, Pei Xuanjing turned a blind eye as if he didn’t know anything at all.

“It seems that the national teacher has everything under control!” The voice of the Witch God Sect Leader sounded in Pei Xuanjing’s ear.

Holding the Sanbao Jade Ruyi in his hand, the divinity of it diminished and became ordinary after playfully twirling around. Hearing the voice message from the Witch God Sect Leader, Pei Xuanjing replied indifferently, “I am somewhat confused about what the Sect Leader means.”

“Does the national teacher not know what these people intend to do with their arrival?” The Witch God Sect Leader counter-asked.

This time’s Shenxiao debate, though Pei Xuanjing invited these powerful beings to come here, they wanted to get to know this newly emerged powerful Pei Xuanjing.

But it was surely not only that. If it were truly because of this reason, these top forces wouldn’t all have come here fully. Apart from the Taixu Venerable who had been suppressed and was now leading a hard life, it was unimaginable that all the top-level forces of the human race, regardless of whether they were righteous or evil, had arrived here this time.

They came here, all because of the matter that was decided earlier in the Sky Wasteland. Only that matter could attract these powerful beings to join forces, making them actively fulfill the appointment.

Although Pei Xuanjing was in the ancestral land, the news of that matter had spread all over the Sky Wasteland. Even if Pei Xuanjing didn’t actively go looking for the news, it was definitely possible and even certain that someone from among these forces would pass the message to Pei Xuanjing, selling him a favor.

Therefore, the Witch God Sect Leader felt that Pei Xuanjing was like fishing in troubled waters and had everything under control.

In his opinion, the reason why Pei Xuanjing chose to throw out his plan at the beginning was because of this matter, which made some forces hesitate to move.

After all, if Pei Xuanjing’s plan was vetoed by these powerful beings right at the beginning, it would undoubtedly be a loss of face for Pei Xuanjing. Subsequently, if they asked for Pei Xuanjing’s help and he refused, they would have nothing to do with it.

“Sect Leader, please speak directly. Why beat around the bush?” Pei Xuanjing pretended to be confused.

“What does the national teacher think about the plan of integrating the Sky Wasteland into the ancestral land and promoting the ascension of the ancestral land, which has been proposed by many of the powerful beings in the Sky Wasteland?” asked the Witch God Sect Leader.

Seeing Pei Xuanjing still playing ignorant, the Witch God Sect Leader was too lazy to go round in circles with Pei Xuanjing and directly asked him.

As a top force in the Sky Wasteland, although the Witch Deity Teaching seldom interferes with the disputes among these top forces for various reasons, due to its strength, many things wouldn’t exclude them even if they didn’t take the initiative.

And this time, the plan was to merge the Sky Wasteland into the ancestral land, promoting the elevation of the ancestral land. It also brought them more favors of heaven and earth, which was an affair the Witch God Sect Leader, as a powerful being, couldn’t ignore.

Even if the Witch Deity Teaching had its own plan that was being implemented slowly, the Witch God Sect Leader naturally wouldn’t refuse the benefits at their doorstep.

So, even if no one had mentioned it, the Witch God Sect Leader took the initiative to ask Pei Xuanjing, intending to probe his thoughts on the matter.

However, before he received a response from Pei Xuanjing, he heard someone else in the hall ask the same question.

“National Teacher, we are here today not only to congratulate the National Teacher on his cultivation and to discuss the Dao with him but also for another matter that requires the assistance of the National Teacher,” said the Master of Mystiq Sky.

As the top force in the world, under such circumstances, the Master of Mystiq Sky, even unwillingly, had to be the first to speak to Pei Xuanjing.

Pei Xuanjing didn’t continue to speak to the Witch God Sect Leader. He just gave him a glance, and then he said to the Master of Mystiq Sky, “Please speak, Sect Master.”

Since the Master of Mystiq Sky had spoken, he wouldn’t hesitate anymore. He said: “Now that the ancestral land has revived, we people of the ancestral land naturally have to return to it. Everything in the Sky Wasteland could only be left deserted. Though some disciples are left behind to guard it, it could no longer return to its former glory.”

“However, recently, seeing the National Teacher’s creation of Heaven and Earth which benefits the ancestral land, we are struck with an idea. That is to incorporate the Sky Wasteland into the ancestral land, promote the ascension of the ancestral land, make the ancestral land more prosperous and thriving, produce more powerful beings, and perhaps even pave the way to the Immortal Path.”

Pave the way to the Immortal Path, perhaps it isn’t impossible.

That was the real purpose of these most powerful beings agreeing to the plan.

The other favors of Heaven and Earth, generating more powerful beings, were all secondary. What they really wanted and needed was to merge the two worlds, promote the evolution of Heaven and Earth, and pave the path to immortality. Only this was the genuine thought and need of these most powerful beings.

Over the countless years, these most powerful beings had continuously explored the Immortal Dao Realm, but they had all ended up empty-handed.

So, there has been a conjecture circulating among many powerful beings. The Immortal Dao doesn’t not exist. Instead, the limit of the world they inhabit is just like this. Just as no cultivators could survive after the decline of Heaven and Earth and they had to go far away to the Sky Wasteland.

This ancestral land has an upper limit, and the cultivation realm it can accommodate is only limited to these most powerful beings standing at the peak. This has already reached the limit of the world, and the world is no longer sufficient to nourish the birth of Immortal Dao level beings.

So, if they truly want to step into the Immortal Dao and attain immortality, they either need to wait for the promotion of Heaven and Earth, or leave this part of Heaven and Earth to seek a more vast Heaven and Earth and make a breakthrough.

This is also the reason why it was most popular to open up forbidden places and blessed lands, cultivate Cave Heavens, and then create worlds.
