The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1548: Chapters 1496–1497 Announcing the Decree; The Unwilling True Immortal Chapter 1548: Chapters 1496–1497 Announcing the Decree; The Unwilling True Immortal It was just a short amount of time, yet it was enough to trigger a series of reactions throughout the Taoist Academy, and even the Divine Land World.

First, when the existence of the Ten Supreme Divine Abilities of the Myriad Laws Realm was confirmed, it stirred the hearts of many strong practitioners. Some of the more impatient ones had even begun preparing to descend into the Myriad Laws Realm once again to compete for these Supreme Divine Powers.

One should not assume this to be an exaggeration, since after all, the Supreme Divine Power was the kind that rivaled the Supreme Divine Power itself.

Bear in mind that, even in the current state of cultivation development in the Divine Land World, though there is no threshold for practicing divine power spells, not every divine power spell can be practiced at will.

Perhaps the entry-level, common Divine Abilities could be practiced freely, but top-tier Divine Abilities like those were also not abundant within the academy. Moreover, each one required an astronomical amount of Contribution Points, which not every practitioner could muster.

And even if they could come up with the points, many times they would be something money can’t buy. After all, each top-tier Divine Ability needed to be compatible with the practitioner. As soon as such a Divine Ability appeared in the academy, it would be immediately exchanged by someone. Not everyone was qualified to acquire it.

When it comes to divine power skills, the academy usually just set a base price, but it didn’t mean the base price would be enough to claim it; more often than not, it resembled an auction, where the highest bidder won.

And that was the case even for the top-tier Divine Abilities being in high demand, let alone the Supreme Divine Power, which was compelling enough to move many True Immortal Taoist Monarchs. Once they encountered a suitable one, those Taoist Monarchs wouldn’t mind stepping in to exchange for it.

Furthermore, since the founding of the academy ten thousand years ago, the Supreme Divine Power had appeared only once, and it was even an incomplete prototype. It was personally obtained and then offered by Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing, and the scramble for it then involved True Immortal Taoist Monarchs competing. The Contribution Points spent by the Taoist Monarch who obtained it were astronomical, almost enough to cultivate a True Immortal for an immortal sect, which was no exaggeration.

Supreme Divine Power was something comparable to authority; it was highly treasured by the Taoist Monarchs. Even if they were unable to practice it or it wasn’t compatible with them, it did not prevent them from borrowing it for practice and enlightenment of many things.

Most of the time, whoever obtained such a thing would certainly cherish it and never casually offer it up, even if it was of no use to them.

In the Divine Land World, filled with countless strong individuals, probably only Longevity Taoist Monarch could be so casual about offering it up.

Thus one can imagine how attractive the Ten Supreme Divine Abilities were; it was completely understandable for these practitioners to react in such a way.

Next came speculations about what lay behind this matter; after all, no one would believe that Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder’s arrival was coincidental, unintentionally breaking the Jade Emperor’s schemes.

Not to mention that Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder had no reason to come to the Myriad Laws Realm with his Immortal Artifacts. Even if he did descend, he wouldn’t just offend the Jade Emperor over a Decree Technique that was incompatible with him, despite its considerable value.

After all, this item was extremely important to the Jade Emperor. If he was willing, the Jade Emperor would surely agree to pay a sufficient price to avoid this great conflict and could achieve a win-win situation.

But under such circumstances, Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder remained unmoved, refusing the substantial benefits and insisting on a standoff to the end, making the whole affair extremely intriguing. If one said he wasn’t going there for this very reason, it would be very strange indeed.

And among those who could order Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder around like this, there could only be so many in this world.

This also explained why the strong individuals discussing it suddenly fell silent, as even if they suspected who the person behind the scenes was, they dared not say it out loud.

Some things are known, even if everyone is well aware of them, yet if you aren’t backed by sufficient strength and influence, speaking it out could bring disaster.

At least for now, none of these people had enough backing or strength; in fact, they were more or less blessed by the Shenxiao Lineage.

Meanwhile, other practitioners with strength and influence saw things from a different perspective. They understood the significance behind all this, and while recognizing that the Shenxiao Sect made their move for the benefit of all immortal sects, naturally, they stayed quiet as well.

At this time, although everyone knew it was the Shenxiao Lineage instructing Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, nobody verbally acknowledged this, not even the Jade Emperor. If he didn’t want to tear the facade, he had to pretend ignorance.

This was the prestige of Longevity Taoist Monarch and the current power of the Shenxiao Lineage; countless people were affected by them, voluntarily or otherwise.

While all the strong individuals were busy discussing everything that had happened here, Pang Hong and Yu Zhenzi finally emerged from the Shenxiao Domain, bringing with them the decisions they had agreed upon to announce to everyone.

“Longevity Taoist Monarch decrees:…”

A decree from Longevity Taoist Monarch was proclaimed throughout the academy, immediately sparking sheer excitement among countless practitioners. For the already bustling Divine Land World due to the emergence of the Great Law Decree Technique, it was like pouring fuel on the fire.

This decree wasn’t lengthy, but its significance was extraordinary. The gist was:

Longevity Taoist Monarch remarks that today’s Heavenly Court Expansion Plan has been ongoing for ten thousand years, bringing forth countless talents and ushering in an era of great prosperity. The appearance of the Ten Supreme Divine Abilities in the Myriad Laws Realm is by Heavenly Mandate and also the chance for cultivators of All Heavens. Thus, it is decided to use the Myriad Laws Realm as the trial ground; all strong individuals below the True Immortal can enter to seek the Ten Supreme Divine Abilities. Those who ultimately obtain the Ten Divine Abilities will receive the final reward…
