The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1178: Chapters 1126–1127 A Sensational Debut Bloody Trial_2 Chapter 1178: Chapters 1126–1127 A Sensational Debut Bloody Trial_2 Among them, there will be many supreme figures from the Demon Race and even some from the human race will make a move.

Of course, with many True Immortals of the human race presiding over, these supreme figures from the human race will not act against the rules set by the True Immortals to harm others.

After all, aside from achieving breakthroughs on their own, whether True Immortals intervene during the Tribulation of Becoming Immortal is a significant test, and these strong beings would not make enemies at this time.

However, this does not mean they will give up. They will have other various means to seize this Divine Object; as long as they do not harm life, it does not count as going against the will of the True Immortals. This is within the rules, and even True Immortals would not obstruct.

The rule of the survival of the fittest is deeply ingrained in a cultivator’s bones; including Pang Hong, many among them have been influenced by such experiences in the past, and even if Pang Hong has never actively bullied others due to his status, his identity and strength would naturally make many yield in some contests.

The will of True Immortals rules heaven and earth, but this does not mean that True Immortals can act recklessly. They are the rule makers and thus must also adhere to rules many times to maintain basic fairness; otherwise, they cannot command respect.

“Now there is good news, and that is True Immortals will not intervene. Everything depends on ourselves,” Pang Hong said, his face showing some relief as he spoke to the group.

“Has the will of the True Monarch descended?” Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li asked.

The other’s gazes also turned toward Pang Hong.

They all knew that among those present, the safest person was this Junior Leader of Shenxiao Sect, Little Thunder King Pang Hong.

With the direct transmission from a True Immortal and the identity of a Junior Sect Leader, and the protective nature of Shenxiao True Monarch, he would not be ignored, and many strong beings from the human race that might appear would likely not easily strike against him.

Even due to his identity, unless they were supreme beings of Demon Kings from a royal family, ordinary supreme beings of Demon Kings would probably not kill him unnecessarily, to avoid provoking the wrath of a True Immortal.

And as a direct disciple of a True Immortal, aside from his own formidable strength, who knows what other trump cards he might possess, possibly devastating weapons bestowed by the True Immortal, making others wary.

This was also why after seizing that Divine Tree, they agreed that Pang Hong should manage and keep it.

Because relying on his identity and Shenxiao True Monarch’s style, as long as they could survive the return, he would not act selfishly.

The fruit of the Divine Tree that could aid in becoming a True Immortal might seem important in their eyes, but compared to the reputation of Shenxiao True Monarch, it’s insignificant.

If he were to truly act selfishly and deny recognition, it would undoubtedly disgrace Shenxiao True Monarch in the future, and turn the entire Shenxiao Sect into the public enemy of the human race between heaven and earth.

Pang Hong was very aware of their thoughts but did not expose them because he thought the same.

He understood that for the individuals present, they were all independent practitioners, merely desiring the fruits produced by the Divine Tree. What Pang Hong cared more about was the Divine Tree itself; possessing the tree would yield ongoing fruits.

Now, having Pang Hong keep the fruits and the tree was the best choice, at least no need to worry about being robbed.

What they needed to worry about was another matter, being coerced by a supreme being to give up their shares of the fruits.

Indeed, the few of them had made an agreement that if they could return smoothly this time, what they needed were only the mature fruits, while Pang Hong would own the Divine Tree.

A man without guilt is guilty of possessing jade. To them, this Divine Object was not a treasure but a death warrant.

After all, once they obtained the fruit, as long as they had the protection of Shenxiao True Monarch, others could do nothing but feel helpless after they swallowed and refined the fruit.

On the other hand, possessing the Divine Tree would constantly attract covetous eyes, a privilege they frankly did not deserve.

“I have a way to contact my master,” Pang Hong relayed the message he received. “My master told me that neither the human race’s True Immortals nor the Demon Race’s True Immortal Monster Gods will intervene. As long as we can successfully escape back to the human territory, the matter will end there, and no one will be able to take action.”

As Pei Xuanjing’s sole direct disciple and the Junior Leader of the Shenxiao Sect, he naturally had a way to contact Pei Xuanjing at any time, a privilege of his discipleship and a mark of Pei Xuanjing’s care and protection for him.

Of course, Pang Hong would not easily use this method of contact under unnecessary circumstances. Even now, as they were pursued by numerous strong members of the Demon Race, and had not yet encountered a life-threatening situation, he had not actively reached out to his master for help.

Instead, it was his master who took the initiative to contact him and sent a message informing Pang Hong of his awareness of the situation. The True Immortals would not intervene, but he would not either. Pang Hong needed to make his way back from the Demon Race lands on his own.

“If the True Immortals do not intervene, it means we will face the strongest at the Supreme Strong Realm,” First Brother Mo, Mo Qing, had a glint of sharpness in his eyes.

This was indeed good news for them. They were very clear about the predicament they were in, and their greatest fear had been the intervention of the Demon Race’s True Immortal Monster Gods.

Even though they were extremely confident in their own strength to contend with the Supreme Strong Demon King, facing the intervention of a True Immortal, even just an incarnation, was something they could not withstand.

Therefore, the initial declaration of a slim chance of survival was merely putting a brave face on it. If a True Immortal truly intervened, among them, except for Pang Hong, it would be a certain death for everyone else; survival was impossible.

Now, receiving the news that the True Immortals would not intervene was certainly a favorable outcome. The odds remained slim, but there was still a glimmer of hope for survival.

“This is a Blood-colored Path!” The face of Pestilence Venerable showed a solemn expression.

Even someone as resolute as him felt solemn about the road ahead and the events that could unfold.

Even without the intervention of the True Immortals, the world was full of powerful beings. They were not invincible. Continuous battles, wandering on the edge of life and death, would be far more perilous than any danger he had faced before.

“But this is also a path to becoming a Supreme Strong!” Wither-Bloom Venerable, though aged, had surging battle intent in his eyes and even a hint of madness as he said, “Walking on the edge of life and death, constantly fighting innumerable strong beings, if one can truly survive to the end, even without the aid of divine objects, I can break the final shackles and step into the Supreme Strong Realm.”

The Blood-colored Path, the path of becoming.

Walking on the edge of life and death, using endless battles to unleash one’s potential, this is the Cultivation method belonging to Extreme Dao Cultivators.

Each of these individuals had reached the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm Eightfold, just one step away from the Nine Realms of the Supreme Strong.

Previously, they might have had various thoughts and wanted to prepare well before breaking through, but now they had no retreat and could only continue down this path.

“Indeed, this is a path to the Supreme Strong. Even if it’s a scenario of probable death, if one really reaches the end, then crossing over the divide of the Supreme Strong is inevitable!” Chen Qi and Zheng Lun looked at each other and spoke solemnly.

They had no choice but to keep going forward, either reaching the peak or dying in the attempt.

“This is a test from my master, as well as from the True Immortals towards us, or rather, a trial for the powerful beings of the human race, and also a prelude to a great war between the human and Demon Races!” Passionate battle spirit flickered in Pang Hong’s eyes, showing no trace of fear, but rather a hint of eager anticipation.
