The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1143: Chapters 1092-1093 – Wind Will Rise Chapter 1143: Chapters 1092-1093 – Wind Will Rise Merits and the Divine Position of Longevity were the most focused issues in the Great Ming World among the human race. All cultivators who had a chance to compete for the Divine Position were working hard for it.

In pursuit of the Divine Position of Longevity and to win merits, these two former rivals could set aside their differences and cooperate, which shows how great the temptation was.

The Pestilence Venerable had secluded himself to cultivate divine abilities, specifically to be able to face a stronger Demon King so that he could accumulate more merits and advance his rank further, competing for the True God Position.

Who could have thought that in just a short period of seclusion, his Taoist Friend, who had been at the same level, had already taken a step further? How could this not make him anxious?

Time waits for no one! This thought naturally emerged in the mind of the Pestilence Venerable at this moment.

The competition for the Divine Position was extremely fierce; those competitors would not stop and wait for him just because he was in seclusion. They would only seize the opportunity to surpass their opponents.

So, at this moment, he also did not want to engage in pleasantries nor say anything else, but only wanted to act immediately, to hunt down strong members of the Demon Race and seize merits to make up for the time lost in his cultivation.

Although various commanders had said that they did not allow individuals to initiate battles and stir up major conflicts, this prohibition was somewhat nominal.

For the human race, which recognized only victory, initiating a move was acceptable as long as it could lead to victory. Then they would not be blamed, nor would they be punished.

On the contrary, even if the Demon Race took the initiative to invade and the defense was passive, if one failed, one would still have to face questioning and punishment.

In summary, only the victors were beyond reproach. Even if there were some procedural issues, they would not be dwelt upon, which is why the human race could maintain such an aggressive attitude.

For most cultivators, this prohibition was nominal. They believed that as long as they could achieve victory, they would not have to worry about punishment.

Sure enough, after hearing the words of the Pestilence Venerable, the Venerable Withered Wood did not think there was anything wrong with his idea. Instead, he actively said, “It’s a coincidence that I’ve just received a message. The Mo Family Four Brothers are preparing to attack a tribe of the Demon Race and are gathering allies. We can join them.”

The Mo Family Four Brothers, although temporarily recruited by Wang Boan into the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, had to consider themselves beyond serving the dynasty because everyone wanted a chance at longevity.

Therefore, during truces, the Mo Family Four Brothers would also band together and campaign against the Demon Race to accumulate their own merits.

With the combined strength of the four brothers, they could even challenge the Supreme Strong, especially as their power had greatly increased over the past decades. Not long ago, they even subdued a Demon King who was among the Supreme Strong. Currently, their rankings were already around the top eight hundred on the merit list.

Originally, given the formidable strength of the four brothers, they did not need any collaborators. Even when facing some tribes of the Demon Race guarded by the Supreme Strong, they were sufficient to handle it.

However, this time, the Demon Race tribe targeted by the Mo Family Four Brothers was very strong, with at least three Supreme Strong members of the Demon Race in a powerful tribe. In the past, they would not have provoked this tribe since, despite their strength, challenging this tribe was somewhat risky, and they did not have much confidence.

But this Demon Race tribe possessed a rare God Object that was greatly beneficial to cultivators at the pinnacle of the Eight-Layer Spirit Realm like them, enhancing their chances of stepping into the Supreme Strong by a slight margin.

Even if a Divine Position promised longevity, if one refined the Divine Position, there was ample time to gradually develop oneself, and eventually, it became possible to step into the Supreme Strong Realm.

But for powerhouses like the Mo Family brothers, trapped at the Eight-Layer Spirit Realm, they knew more clearly than ordinary cultivators how difficult it was to cross this Heavenly Chasm into the Supreme Strong Realm; it was not something that could be transcended with sufficient time.

The Nine Heavens of Spiritual Realm, reaching for the heavens at every step, particularly the step from cultivators of the Spirit Realm Eightfold into the Supreme Strong, was immensely difficult. If it merely depended on the accumulation of time, then those previously trapped at the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm Eightfold would never break through until the end of their lives. Isn’t it foolish?

Moreover, there’s one more crucial point. They had received information that the Divine Position indeed granted longevity, but before refining the Divine Position of Longevity, the stronger one’s power, the more benefactions of Heaven and Earth one would receive during the eventual Enthronement, the two being complementary.

After all, the power of a blessing from Heaven and Earth that grants mortality its essence would be mostly depleted, leaving only a little energy to endow further use.

But for a Supreme Strong, who is only one step away from the Immortal Path and longevity, the power of a blessing from Heaven and Earth helps them pierce this barrier without using up much energy, leaving the remaining energy to become their foundation and power.

If visualized with data, it’s like placing an ordinary mortal at the first layer, a Spiritual Realm Level Nine Strongest at nine thousand nine hundred layers, and the realm of longevity at ten thousand layers.

When awaiting the Enthronement, temporarily disregarding the varying levels of authority added by different God Positions, to achieve longevity, is to bring the essence of the enshrined to the ten thousand layers of the Longevity Realm. Heaven and Earth would then bestow ten thousand layers of power to ensure that all enshrined Godly Spirits reach the realm of longevity.
