The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1162: Chapter 1110–Chapter 1111: The Rise is Not a Coincidence_2 Chapter 1162: Chapter 1110–Chapter 1111: The Rise is Not a Coincidence_2 The other party had come here as an incarnation, and after such a long time of communication, I had not realized that the person in front of me was not their true body.

Even though I didn’t deliberately probe because the other party was a guest, the fact that they could remain undetected for so long in front of me, a supreme strong who has touched the Immortal Path with the Spirit Realm Eightfold abilities, shows their extraordinariness.

“Bai Xiaosheng, interesting!” The Da Xue Country Lord didn’t feel displeased that the other party had arrived in the form of an incarnation. Instead, a hint of playful smile appeared on his face.

As a cultivator, everyone has a variety of divine powers as life-saving methods, especially in the face of some special situations.

Bai Xiaosheng himself is a cultivator of the Spirit Realm Eightfold, and it is only natural for him to take precautions against a supreme strong like myself. If it were me, I would have made the same choice; it’s not a big deal at all.

However, Bai Xiaosheng’s exceptional nature made me recognize him further, and my interest in this strong rival, who dared to compete with the Sky Mechanism Pavilion for business and vie with Master Tianji for the Taoist Path, grew even more. At the very least, this proved that he was not shooting arrows in the dark.

“The layout of this world is becoming more and more interesting, truly worthy of a Golden Age!” The Da Xue Country Lord’s eyes flickered with Divine Light.

The Tianhuang World of the past, although adhering to the rule of the survival of the fittest, saw cultivators of all sides fight each other on the path of cultivation, competing to be the strongest.

But this was actually only among the middle and lower tiers of cultivators. The shackles of heaven and earth were there, and the true strong who stood at the top of the world focused on researching the Immortal Path, seeking Longevity. They rarely crossed hands and their various divine abilities remained private secrets.

But when Heaven and Earth Ascension took place, and True Immortals were born, this once prophesied Golden Age arrived. The Heroes emerged together, and all the strong began to display their divine might and establish their reputations.

Cultivators as exceptional as Bai Xiaosheng were not the first, nor would they be the last, to appear in the world since the Heaven and Earth Ascension. The divine powers of various reclusive cultivators came into the world.

It should be known that the Da Xue Ancient Country had a long and profound heritage and recorded many well-known divine powers in the world, but even so, in recent years, the Da Xue Country Lord had seen many unheard-of divine powers.

The so-called Golden Age drives cultivators to bravely move forward, allowing the strong to get even stronger. It’s not just about the breaking of heaven and earth’s fetters, but also the clash of wisdom among countless cultivators, creating powerful Taoist Divine Powers that serve as sustenance to help cultivators journey further.

He and Bai Xiaosheng had no conflicting interests. On the contrary, the Sky Mechanism Pavilion’s monopoly on the intelligence business as a sole trader, even the Da Xue Country Lord had been overcharged by the Sky Mechanism Pavilion several times, but had no choice but to grudgingly accept it.

Now that someone could stand up and compete with the Sky Mechanism Pavilion, it undoubtedly broke the monopoly of the Sky Mechanism Pavilion, which was a favorable situation for powers like his.

“If I were to reckon, Bai Xiaosheng’s rise is not only because of the support of Shen Xiao True Monarch behind him, but also because of the tacit agreement among various forces. Some are annoyed with the Sky Mechanism Pavilion’s overbearing behavior and want to give them a bit of a hard time,” realized the Da Xue Country Lord, grasping the subtleties behind it all.

Bai Xiaosheng had risen remarkably fast in these years, making his name known far and wide in a very short time, and indeed, he had the support of Shen Xiao True Monarch, a True Immortal.

But at the same time, with Master Tianji at the helm, and the Sky Mechanism Pavilion’s profound background from managing this business for thousands of years being much deeper than Bai Xiaosheng’s, the competition should normally lean in their favor.

Therefore, Bai Xiaosheng’s smooth rise, besides the support of Shen Xiao True Monarch, must also be due to the covert support of other forces.

The Sky Mechanism Pavilion had indeed accumulated a profound foundation by running this exclusive business, but their approach also led to dissatisfaction among various parties. After all, while buying intelligence from the Sky Mechanism Pavilion, their own intelligence was being sold by them as well.

If there was no one standing up to it before and everyone had no choice but to begrudgingly deal with it, now that Bai Xiaosheng has emerged, naturally there are those who enjoy stirring up trouble and secretly lending a hand.

These powers or strong figures either harbored grievances against Sky Mechanism Pavilion or simply wanted to take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire…

However, no matter what, their interventions undoubtedly posed a significant hindrance to the Sky Mechanism Pavilion and aided the rise of Bai Xiaosheng.

Even the choice made by the Da Xue Country Lord to engage in trade with Bai Xiaosheng this time was not without such considerations.

The situation of the world was becoming increasingly interesting.

Even if the Demon Race perished and the Heavenly Court returned to its place, the infighting within the human race would not cease.

Or rather, the internal struggles of the human race had never actually ceased; it was just that due to the threat of the Demon Race, everyone’s conflicts were restrained, maintained at a level where they would fight without breaking.

But once the Demon Race was annihilated, such conflicts were bound to intensify, especially since the future interests involved longevity, and no party would compromise or give up.

However, even though he had anticipated such a situation, the Da Xue Country Lord was not the slightest bit worried. Instead, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.

Maintaining the unified status quo of the world was what the supreme strong at the very top and the major powers wished to see, for they had gained the greatest benefits, and keeping things unchanged best suited their interests.

Yet, even though the Da Xue Ancient Country was powerful, they had not truly reached the pinnacle. There were still those above them who were stronger, and the benefits they received were still limited, perhaps leftovers from others.

Although these benefits were unimaginable and coveted by independent practitioners and some smaller powers,

for an ambitious and powerful figure like the Da Xue Country Lord, their ambition was boundless. Unless they stood at the very top, they would never be content to stop.

Therefore, it conformed to their expectations that all sides continued to struggle. Only when all parties began to fight would they have a chance, an opportunity to break the existing situation, to rise abruptly at the moment and soar to the heavens, ascending meteorically.

“In an age of great strife, if one still chooses to stand still and be content with subservience, then what is the point of having longevity!” the Da Xue Country Lord’s face showed a resolute expression, unwavering.

It was the same for all the strong; if they had longevity, they had to stand at the very top. Otherwise, even with longevity, they would have to live under others, which for people like them, was simply unacceptable.

“In an age of great strife, when all beings under the frosty heavens vie for freedom, every creature, every power has the opportunity to leap up and may also fall. But if one always remains mediocre and willing to settle for mediocrity, then what is the point of having longevity?”

Monarch Qingxu of the True Martial Sect shared the same thoughts.

Don’t think that before the world had revived, although the True Martial Sect, as one of the Taoist Holy Lands, had been very low-key and did not get involved in the affairs of the martial arts world, appearing as if they were lofty hermits,

at that time, the True Martial Sect, even by doing nothing, was still one of the top forces in the Great Ming World. They were strong in themselves, closely related to the royal family of the Great Ming Empire, renowned, and respected with high esteem. Naturally, they did not need to show off anything.

For a fighter who had defeated all his rivals across the land and who had no more opponents, naturally, he would choose to retreat to the forest, because he had experienced and possessed everything, and thus, he did not care.

But for a powerful figure who possesses great power, yet has nothing and never had anything, naturally, he would need to prove himself, pursue fame and fortune, and affirm his status.

The current state of the True Martial Sect was just like that. After the revival of the world and the return of various powers, the True Martial Sect no longer held their former top position; they naturally would not settle for mediocrity and no longer maintained that indifferent demeanor.

They completely changed their attitude, becoming eager for progress, and their once concealed sharpness was now fully revealed.
