The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1147: Chapter 1096 – 1097 The Demon Summoning Banner Appears in the World Chapter 1147: Chapter 1096 – 1097 The Demon Summoning Banner Appears in the World Among the Demon Race, aside from the Celestial Ape King, who was condensing his supreme divine body to enhance his own strength, the other True Immortals and Monster Gods had not ceased their strides toward becoming more powerful.

For the strong beings of this world, even if they had stepped into the True Immortal Realm and obtained a life almost akin to immortal longevity, they could still not afford the slightest complacency, as their surroundings did not permit them to pause for even a moment.

Inner competition, this phenomenon occurred not only among ordinary Cultivators but also among the True Immortals of the human race and the Monster Gods of the Demon Race, with the intensity of the competition being no less than among the average Cultivators.

Originally, everyone had ascended to True Immortality and obtained longevity, standing at the same realm. Although there might be differences in combat power within the True Immortal Realm due to the accumulation of their foundations before their breakthroughs, at least they still belonged to the same level.

If everyone was at the same realm, although differences in combat strength were not surprising, no one could do anything to anyone else; at least their lives were not affected, and they could take a temporary respite.

However, the existence of Pei Xuanjing undoubtedly caused these True Immortal Strong to abandon any thoughts of laxity, especially after he brandished the Gods Sealing List and nearly suppressed the Celestial Ape King with his power over two opponents.

In that moment, all True Immortal Strong, whether human True Immortals or Demon Race’s Monster God Strong, understood one thing.

It was that while True Immortals were almost immortal, they were not indestructible beings; they too could be suppressed and could be wiped out.

This possibility greatly shocked those powerhouses, casting a shadow in their hearts, as if a peerless divine sword hung over their heads, which could fall at any moment and sever their lives.

No one wished to live under such a threat, especially these True Immortal Strong. Their pride and power made it intolerable for them to endure such threats and to be subject to others.

Therefore, these True Immortal Strong were bound to not cease advancing. They continued their Cultivation, pressing further along the Immortal Path, making themselves stronger until the day when they would no longer be threatened by anything.

Especially the Demon Race’s True Immortal Monster God, the Peacock King, who was one of the formidable beings in the world even before he stepped into the True Immortal Realm, an Overlord among the Supreme Strong, whom even powers such as the Lion Emperor and the Old Heavenly Master dared not underestimate lightly.

But in his first battle after entering the True Immortal Realm, facing his once junior, the newly risen Shen Xiao True Monarch, he was suppressed from beginning to end; even with his Five-color Divine Light, which had been invincible across Heaven and Earth, he could not triumph over the Shen Xiao True Monarch.

Later, joining forces with the Celestial Ape King, these two mighties of the True Immortal Realm were still defeated in the end and were nearly suppressed by their opponent.

Even though this was partly due to their opponent wielding a heavenly and earthly treasure such as the Gods Sealing List, for the Peacock King, it was an experience etched deeply in his memory, one that made him feel a threat to his life that he hadn’t tasted for a long time.

Of course, in fighting with such a strong being, Pei Xuanjing gained tremendous benefits, and the Peacock King did not walk away empty-handed. The encounter with a strong being like the Shen Xiao True Monarch brought him great benefits.

“The Five-color Divine Light, the Path of the Five Elements, is the core of my being and the foundation of my ascension. Born close to the Way of the Five Elements, why should I forsake the essentials for the trivial!” the Peacock King came to an epiphany.

It must be said that although his fight with the Shen Xiao True Monarch left him in a sorry state, the latter’s words roused him, leading him back to the right path.

Indeed, while The Five Elements counter the Chaos is an extremely powerful offensive approach, for one naturally close to the Way of the Five Elements like him, without perfecting the Way of the Five Elements, it was rather like forcing what is in vitro, forsaking the root for the branch.

A solid foundation is the guarantee for going further. Without perfecting the Way of the Five Elements, even inverting Chaos would mean an unstable foundation.

Instead, it might be better to retreat temporarily, continue to cultivate one’s own Path of the Five Elements, and keep refining it until it is perfected. When that day comes, inverting Chaos should be as natural as breathing and without any flaws.

Once the Peacock King had an epiphany about his own path, he was no longer confused. He began to focus on cultivating the Path of the Five Elements. With his natural talent and understanding of the Way of the Five Elements, his progress was terrifying, advancing by leaps and bounds each day.

The Path of the Five Elements, with its mutual generation and mutual overcoming, does not exist in isolation; it is complementary. Progressing simultaneously in the Path of the Five Elements enabled cultivation leaps and bounds, and a mere sixty years of cultivation led to tremendous advancement in the Peacock King’s strength.

Heaven and Earth are supremely fair. The human race crafted the Gods Sealing List with the intention of annihilating the Demon Race, aiming to make the human race the protagonists of Heaven and Earth and masters of the Path of Heaven, Earth, and Man. However, this does not imply that only the human race can achieve this.

The Demon Race, too, are creatures of Heaven and Earth. If they could extinguish the human race, then by replacing the Path of Humans with the Monster Path and completing the Path of Heaven, Earth, and Monsters, the Demon Race could also become the protagonists of Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, just as the human race has the Gods Sealing List, the Demon Race ought to bring forth the Demon Summoning Banner into the world.

In the process of crafting the Demon Summoning Banner, these Demon Race True Immortal Monster Gods received blessings during the descent of the Will of the Heaven and Earth, just as many human True Immortals did when they crafted the Gods Sealing List — an opportunity to comprehend the Heavenly Path and enhance themselves.

And today, as many True Immortal Monster Gods of the Demon Race joined forces, the monster race’s heavy weapon, crafted to counter the human race’s Gods Sealing List, the Demon Summoning Banner, finally emerged into the world.
