The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1295: 1242 Chapter – 1243 Chapter_2 Chapter 1295: 1242 Chapter – 1243 Chapter_2 As Star Lord Yisuan said, the challenge issued to Emperor Tianyang by Fire Virtue Star Lord was permitted by him; otherwise, with Fire Virtue Star Lord’s temperament, he absolutely wouldn’t make a move at this time.

It is well known that the Great River Country Lord has ruled over this ancient country for thousands of years, and is definitely a mastermind in his own right. He knows when to act according to circumstances; otherwise, when Pei Xuanjing took action and annihilated the strong ones from their faction in the Great Ming World, the other side’s reaction wouldn’t have been seeking peace. Instead, it would have led to an everlasting feud, and the two sides would have become enemies.

Pei Xuanjing needed him to make a move and confront the Great Ancient Emperor and Ancient Emperor Saint Lord of this realm to verify certain things.

Indeed, upon arriving in this realm, Pei Xuanjing easily grasped the cultivation system of this world, where Heaven and Earth are flawed. However, he had yet to truly witness how far these Great Ancient Emperors had cultivated, how strong the laws they mastered were.

To belittle the opponent strategically, but to take them seriously tactically–that is Pei Xuanjing’s style of conduct, as well as his approach in those simulated worlds he had previously experienced.

Although this time it is not a simulation of life, that does not prevent Pei Xuanjing from treating it as an experience of simulating life, dealing with the affairs of this realm in such a manner.

This realm should be even older than the Great Ming World, after all, these Great Emperors have lived for tens of thousands of years, something many True Immortals of the Great Ming World cannot compare with, apart from those Innate Gods and Demons. Only old guard True Immortals like Ancestor Celestial Master have attained such longevity, and not more than ten thousand years at that.

Time is a truly terrifying concept and can bury many secrets. Over the lengthy stretches of years, besides oneself, nobody knows what others have hidden.

Even though Pei Xuanjing is now publicly acknowledged as the number one person in the Great Ming World, he is unsure about how many secrets those powerful beings like Ancestor Celestial Master, who have lived for over ten thousand years, have concealed.

So, with these Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors who have lived for tens of thousands of years, even if they exist in a flawed realm, Pei Xuanjing is very curious about what kind of trump cards they have hidden.

“It seems that although this world is incomplete, the ambition of its powerhouses is not insignificant, and the Tianyang Avenue is indeed remarkable. If one truly manages to control it, even I, as Emperor, would have to retreat three steps,” Pei Xuanjing remarked as he watched Emperor Tianyang wield the Tianyang Avenue in the Dharma Mirror.

Star Lord Yisuan nodded and said, “Tianyang can also be called the Nine Suns, encompassing the beginnings of Yang, lesser Yang, old Yang, arrogant Yang, fierce Yang, vast Yang, supreme Yang, great Yang, and pure Yang. If one truly manages to control it, indeed, it is a top-level law.”

Born in the Sky Mechanism Pavilion, he had ready access to many secrets of the world, let alone this information regarding the attempts in cultivation.

If he had never seen it before, he would have been curious about what the so-called Tianyang was.

But after observing the skills of Emperor Tianyang using the Dharma Mirror, Star Lord Yisuan also understood what the Tianyang law entailed.

The Thunder Path, if described using the cultivation terms of the Great Ming World, should actually be called the Path of Nine Suns, and this Emperor Tianyang could also be referred to as the Emperor of Nine Suns.

He chuckled and then added, “The Path of Nine Suns is indeed a pinnacle law, but its cultivation is anything but simple. In this realm, Emperor Tianyang might indeed suppress all opponents and control the Nine Suns to achieve the true Tianyang Avenue. However, now that we have arrived in this world, it means that the chances for the others to achieve the Dao are very slim.”

The Great Yin-Yang Path is one of the most fundamental and powerful paths between heaven and earth, just like the Way of the Five Elements, and it is also the most widely cultivated path.

The cultivation in this realm dictates that later generations will always pose a threat to the predecessors; this is a flaw, but also a warning to the predecessors. Once a newcomer appears, they can rapidly lock onto their opponent and suppress the later generations.

However, the Great Ming World is different. There are too many cultivators who are cultivating the way of Yang, and unless one truly unites with the path of Yang, even if one certifies the Dao with a particular aspect of Yang, it does not close off that path. Newcomers can still achieve the Dao, which, in effect, adds more opponents for oneself.

Just like the confrontation between the Lunar Rabbit Monster God, the Yin True Monarch of the Demon Race, and the Profound Yin True Monarch of the human race, both cultivated the path of Yin but were able to use it to certify their Dao. To fully encompass this path would lead to a path contest unprecedented in history.

Among the many cultivators in the Great Ming World who practiced the Path of Nine Suns, there were already True Immortals who had successfully certified the Tao, as well as many Supreme Overlords on the brink of certification. It was impossible to count just how many cultivated the Path of Nine Suns.

Had it not been for their existence, Emperor Tianyang might have been able to achieve the Tao, but with the merging of the two worlds, unless Emperor Tianyang suppressed everything, he could hardly wish for it.

However, as extraordinary as his power was, he faced a path contest, and others were not so foolish as to wait for him to make a move. They would certainly unite to resist him, meaning he had no chance at all.

“Not every strong person can control the Thunder Path like Emperor Monarch, as all Thunder originates from the hand of Emperor Monarch, and no one dares to contend,” Star Lord Yi Suan said to Pei Xuanjing with a smile that was meant as a compliment.

But these words were not entirely complimentary, for the Thunder Path was a top-tier Great Dao, yet no cultivators in the Great Ming World would desire to contend for the authority of the Thunder Path.

Because the authority of the Thunder Path was held by the Incarnation of the Longevity Taoist Monarch, Pei Xuanjing, Emperor of South Pole Eternal Life–none were qualified to contend with him.

For all the strong cultivators of the Thunder Path, it wasn’t that they didn’t wish to contend for this supreme Thunder Power, but rather their power was insufficient to compete.

The Thunderbolt Law had already been controlled by Longevity Taoist Monarch, and to seize the authority of the Thunderbolt Law, one must compete with Longevity Taoist Monarch and win against him to succeed.

As the first among the heavens, how could Longevity Taoist Monarch be easily defeated? Besides, if one truly possessed such strength, why bother trying to seize the Thunderbolt Law when it would be better to vie for even mightier Laws?

Not every strong person who wished to preside over the Laws and Great Dao was like Pei Xuanjing, who could deter other opponents without lifting a finger, causing them to retreat upon sight.

At least in the eyes of Star Lord Yi Suan, Emperor Tianyang of this world was definitely not qualified.

The Great Dao of Yang was an authority even more powerful than the Thunder Path. Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing was qualified to occupy the authority of the Thunderbolt Law, but Emperor Tianyang was definitely unable to intimidate others. Instead, he would provoke even more dissatisfaction and incite fiercer resistance.

“Hehe, it’s not as exaggerated as you say. This Emperor won’t oppress rivals. If there is truly someone qualified to preside over the Thunderbolt Law, this Emperor will not begrudge the Thunderbolt Law in my hands,” Pei Xuanjing said with a light laugh, regarding the compliment of Star Lord Yi Suan without concern and not taking it seriously.

Indeed, as the first batch of True Immortals to certify the Immortal Path, he had taken the lead, and even without deliberate effort, he had easily deduced the Thunderbolt Law to a profound extent by virtue of the position of Emperor of South Pole Eternal Life, almost monopolizing all Thunder Power.

However, although Pei Xuanjing occupied the Thunder Power, he had never really considered using the Thunderbolt Law as his core fundamental Great Dao.

To him, Thunderbolt Law was a means of offense, a tool, fine as assistance, but it could never become the fundamental Dao. Indeed, in Pei Xuanjing’s view, all Laws, all Great Daos, were unworthy to be his foundation.

Whether to control people with Laws or to control Laws themselves was an extremely important question.

At this stage of his cultivation, Pei Xuanjing was not only considering mastering Laws but also aspired to command them.

The power of Laws could transform oneself, allowing True Immortals to comprehend the Heavenly Path and incarnate it.

But when one reached a certain limit, it was necessary to make other changes, thinking about how to transcend Laws and exceed the confines of heaven and earth.

Nevertheless, such thoughts were still too distant at present and remained a mere speculation in Pei Xuanjing’s mind.
