The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1149: Chapters 1098-1099: Success or Failure Depends on This Chapter 1149: Chapters 1098-1099: Success or Failure Depends on This As the heavens and earth ascended, Pei Xuanjing was promoted to a True Immortal, and this endless Spirit Mechanism converged towards Shenxiao Mountain. With Pei Xuanjing himself taking action, Shenxiao Mountain had already become one of the rare cultivation Holy Lands between heaven and earth.

The mighty Shenxiao Mountain Range, spanning millions of miles across the Divine Continent, soared into the clouds, towering and majestic, radiating a heavy and imposing aura.

“Demon Summoning Banner! It really was successfully refined!”

On Shenxiao Mountain, the figure of Pei Xuanjing, who had fully digested the gains from this life simulation, appeared at the summit of Shenxiao Mountain.

Feeling the successful refinement of the Demon Summoning Banner, a supreme artifact that gathered infinite Demon Race Qi Luck, the strength of the Demon Race was bound to increase manifold, even sweeping away its previous decadence.

But Pei Xuanjing showed no trace of worry; instead, a smile appeared on his face, and there was even a hint of anticipation.

It was not just Pei Xuanjing; even many True Immortals of the human race, despite their apprehensions and dissatisfaction, did not feel anything unexpected upon sensing the successful refinement of the Demon Summoning Banner.

Unlike the Demon Race’s True Immortals who were unaware of the human race’s Gods Sealing List, they hadn’t had time to intervene.

However, many True Immortals of the human race were well aware of the Demon Race’s refinement of the Demon Summoning Banner, especially Master Tianji, who cultivated the Path of Heavenly Secrets; he had foreseen this scenario long ago.

Surprisingly, many True Immortals of the human race kept silent about this matter, showing no reaction whatsoever, and did not consider invading the Demon Race to hinder the refinement of this supremely useful artifact for the Demon Race.

They not only didn’t obstruct but even subtly permitted the successful refinement of this supreme artifact.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the Demon Race encountered such smooth sailing during the refinement process without any mishaps.

One must know that if the many True Immortals of the human race really didn’t want to see the Demon Summoning Banner come into existence, even if they couldn’t fully block its creation, they could have delayed the time, not allowing the Demon Banner to be so easily refined.

“Gathering the Demon Race’s Qi Luck, a supreme artifact formed by the blood of countless demons, symbolizes the Qi Luck of the Demon Race, a depository for the True Spirits of countless demons, indeed comparable to the presence of the Gods Sealing List,” Pei Xuanjing’s robes fluttered, ethereal as he desired immortality, his eyes flashing with Divine Light as he spoke coldly, “However, this concentrates the Demon Race’s Qi Luck together, leaving them completely without a way out. Once defeated, the Demon Race’s Qi Luck will be utterly pillaged!”

Indeed, the refinement of the Demon Summoning Banner was an excellent choice for the Demon Race to confront the human race’s Gods Sealing List, the only way they could contest the Gods Sealing List and completely integrate the Demon Race into a coherent race.

Upon discovering the intentions of the Demon Race’s True Immortal Monster Gods, the True Immortals of the human race did not intervene but let them grow, even though this posed a great threat to the human race and could even cause significant harm in the future.

However, everything has pros and cons; where there are advantages, there must be disadvantages.

The Demon Race was originally a coalition of many failed races. Although nominally a single race, the Qi Luck of the various races hadn’t truly converged, resulting in scant collective Qi Luck under the name of the Demon Race, with more races’ fortunes lying within their individual tribes.

This was not actually good news for the human race because, even if the Demon Race was defeated and expelled from their territories, the various races’ Qi Luck would still be in a dispersed state, and they would need to continually seek out each race to pillage Qi Luck.

This refining of the Demon Summoning Banner was the process of the Demon Race’s integration, transforming these races into a true Demon Race, with all races’ Qi Luck beginning to converge and coalesce into the Qi Luck of the Demon Race.

This indeed made them stronger, but it also removed their previous ability to resist risks, once truly defeated, all their Qi Luck would be lost and plundered.

This was precisely what Pei Xuanjing and others had schemed, they were waiting for the Demon Race to gather all its Qi Luck together, and then to defeat and plunder them.

“Now that the Demon Summoning Banner is refined,” Pei Xuanjing said, “the Demon Race is in high spirits, brimming with arrogance, and are bound to seize the opportunity to strike back and reclaim everything.”

After coming out of seclusion, Pei Xuanjing quickly became aware of everything that had happened in these years, and upon understanding the current situation, he didn’t even need to think to know what the Demon Race would do next.

Some things are instinctual, or rather, things that must be done.

Whether it’s a person, a force, or a race, when they have faced continuous failures and concessions, they inevitably accumulate countless resentments and outrages in their hearts, needing a suitable opportunity to vent these emotions.

Thus, upon gaining a chance for change, or when they believe they can alter the situation, they will immediately strike back and reclaim everything they have lost; this is almost an expected course of action.

For the Demon Race, this was the case as they had made numerous concessions, especially when they were not without strength, but had conceded for the greater picture, weighing heavily on their hearts.

Now the Demon Summoning Banner was successfully refined, the awaited moment for the Demon Race had arrived; they needed to unleash the fury in their hearts, a will shared by all demons, unstoppable by anyone, even the Demon Emperor and the many True Immortal Monster Gods.
