The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1526: Chapter 1474 – 1475 Shen Xiao Taboo, Taking a Different Approach Chapter 1526: Chapter 1474 – 1475 Shen Xiao Taboo, Taking a Different Approach What can happen in three thousand years? For ordinary mortals, it is enough to see the succession of nearly a hundred generations. For Cultivators, it’s not impossible for them to ascend from mortality to True Immortality.

And it’s worth noting that those initial three thousand years of the Shenxiao Sect’s development marked the beginning of the Heavenly Court’s expansion plan. It was the wildest period but also the one with the most opportunities.

During these three thousand years, the number of cultivators in the Shenxiao Sect was not large, but the presence of an Ancestral Master ensured that the resources and transformations they obtained were plentiful. This also meant they had more opportunities and resources.

Thus, one can fully imagine just how many powerful beings were born during this time.

Admittedly, his rise was due to special circumstances and transformations. However, this Supreme Strong always speculated that within the Shenxiao Sect, there were many more powerful than himself, who were solely focused on cultivating and pursuing the Immortal Path, unenthusiastic about authority, hence giving him the chance to rise.

But that was when there weren’t enough benefits to go around, and others were too lazy to compete. There were many powerful beings lying low, and now with such massive stakes, it is definitely worth fighting for among the many powerful beings in the Shenxiao Sect, which would bring out many hidden heavyweights.

After all, for those confined to the Strongest Realm and even the Supreme Overlord Realm, although they didn’t care for authority, they would certainly not pass up the chance to ascend to True Immortality.

Therefore, the position of Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect might not interest them in terms of authority, but is undoubtedly a ticket to becoming a True Immortal. Simply occupying this position would inevitably allow one to ascend to True Immortality.

To say nothing of anything else, just this point alone is enough to completely captivate them.

So, one can only imagine what a fierce dragon-tiger battle this competition for the Sect Leader will be, bringing many dormant powerful beings out of seclusion.

For such intense competition, he is definitely qualified to be involved.

“With so many Supreme Strong existing…” This Eighth Layer Cultivator’s face showed shock that did not fade, as he was at a loss for words.

Being a newly emerged generation of cultivator, he had thought he understood the strength of the Shenxiao Sect quite well, yet he realized now that he had only seen a hidden corner.

“Thinking with my father’s strength, if he really came forward to participate in the competition for the Sect Leader, that would truly be courting death, a complete clown,” this Supreme Strong chuckled sardonically, looking somewhat sorrowful.

For this descendant of his, who had seemed quite clever usually, he hadn’t expected to get somewhat lost amidst interests, not even understanding how deep the waters ran here, daring to meddle recklessly, truly reckless and foolhardy.

On normal days, mingling in some affairs was fine. With his own strength and position, coupled with broad connections within the Shenxiao Sect, even having ties to a True Immortal, and some relations to beings comparable to True Immortals, he could still manage to handle it. That was okay.

But this matter was a Sect Leader succession of the Shenxiao Sect, no less significant than the passing of an Imperial Throne in a Mortal Dynasty, and the authority of the Sect Leader of Shenxiao even rivalled a True God’s position in the Heavenly Court.

The allure of such a position is imaginable. Even a True Immortal personally entering the fray couldn’t guarantee total control. Although not necessarily threatening, mishandling the situation could also lead to stirring up trouble for nothing.

Though he had some strength, thinking of participating in such a significant event was, at most, suitable for making indirect influences. Actually declaring participation would truly be akin to seeking his own demise.

Although the contest for the position of Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect, with the Ancestral Master present, the current Sect Leader, and several True Immortals in support, wouldn’t involve risks to life, diving into it would be wholly different.

Think about how a new Emperor in a Mortal Dynasty treated those who had competed against him for the throne: those who challenged and competed with the new Sect Leader would certainly face suppression.

And no one would sympathize with this, for that is the result due to the losers. Whoever desires to participate in an affair must acknowledge the risks and bear the consequences.

The new Sect Leader, for the sake of his own authority, might have the Ancestral Master and many True Immortals choosing not to intervene initially, as long as he wasn’t too excessive.

But even if it wasn’t deliberately excessive, from that position, any minor action could prove challenging to contend with.

Observing his desolate father, this usually very proud descendant also seemed somewhat disheartened. As a member of a cultivator family, he viewed his father’s protection and strength as his own glory.

Now, seeing his father, who he deemed invincible, so visibly dispirited, he felt even more empathetic, as if the sky was falling.

“Father.”

But he hadn’t anticipated the next words from the Supreme Overlord, which truly astonished him.

“Well, since we have reached this topic today, I might as well tell you everything to save you from ignorance and bringing disaster upon yourself,” the Supreme Overlord sighed, as if making a decision.

Initially, he didn’t want to expose such critically important matters so early, feeling that the other wasn’t sufficiently matured. Touching such topics too early wasn’t beneficial.
