The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 2015: Chapter 1960-1961: Great Tao 3000 – Out With the Old, In With the New (Part 2)

Even recently, news came from the Sky Mechanism Pavilion that the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch seemed to have obtained the corpse of a desolate beast at the Taoist Monarch level.

Although this information was secretive, it couldn’t escape the ears and eyes of the many Taoist Monarchs, which made them even more on edge. It was not only because of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch’s increasing strength but also because the implications behind this news were intriguing.

There was no need to say much about where the desolate beast came from, but it seemed that only the one from the Shenxiao Sect could suppress and kill a desolate beast at the Taoist Monarch level. Now that this object has come into the hands of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch, if it’s false, it doesn’t matter, but if it’s true, then there’s a lot to be discussed.

Of course, many Taoist Monarchs were apprehensive and didn’t directly inquire. What they didn’t know was that the corpse of this desolate beast was indeed in the hands of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch, but it wasn’t just now that it passed into his hands.

As a Great Grandmaster of the Trend Puppets, the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch tried to buy it from Pei Xuanjing the moment he got the news, even using Bai Xiaosheng as a mediator, paying a significant price.

And Pei Xuanjing, after researching the desolate beast’s corpse and finding it not very useful, did not refuse to pass this thing directly to him.

However, at that time, the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch, lacking strength, suppressed the news tightly, unwilling to leak it, and initially intended to use it as a trump card.

But after becoming a Taoist Monarch, having many puppets exploded by a Buddhist Bodhisattva, he deliberately used the channels of the Sky Mechanism Pavilion to release the news to deter certain people.

Although the other Taoist Monarchs didn’t understand the ins and outs, this news was enough to make them cautious.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch also seemed tough, and the momentum of the True Martial Emperor’s Tao Certifying seemed a bit inferior now, but as a Taoist Monarch mastering the Great Yin-Yang Path, even ordinary newly ascended Taoist Monarchs would dare not claim an easy victory.

The only ones left were the newly ascended Lord Bai Qicang and the Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch from the Witch Deity Teaching.

However, right now, these two powerhouses were still fighting fiercely in the Chaos Void. Although their displayed combat strength was somewhat inferior to the fight between the Witch God Sect Leader and the Jade Emperor, they weren’t adversaries a random Taoist Monarch could contend with.

Not to mention that Lord Bai Qicang, as a disciple of the Ancestor Celestial Master, had support behind him. The Talisman Sword skill he created had even attracted the attention of the Sword Emperor, proving it wasn’t weak.

And Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch similarly had the support of several Taoist Monarchs from the Witch Deity Teaching. Moreover, even without a backer, as the wielder of the Time Dao and an Innate Demon God, who could ascertain that the current revelation of his power was his true strength?

“None of them are easy to deal with!”

“The competition among the Taoist Monarchs will probably become even fiercer!”

“Not only the people in front of us, but there are also quite a few on the verge of Tao Certifying, and none of them are pushovers.”

“There’s no need to mention the Fate Controller Star Lord; the Divination Man from the Sky Mechanism Pavilion also obtained the Great Fate Technique, and Bai Xiaosheng reportedly got it as well.”

“And the No Phase True Monarch, who has a deep connection with Bai Xiaosheng, he himself is an incarnation of myriads. If he certifies as a Taoist Monarch, even ordinary Taoist Monarchs would find him extremely troublesome, not inferior to the Blood Fiend Ancestor!”

“Not to mention others, just these few alone. The Thunder God from the Shenxiao Sect, a pure Golden Core Dao cultivator, is a direct disciple of the Longevity Taoist Monarch. If anyone believes his strength would be weak after certifying as a Taoist Monarch, they would be kidding themselves.”

“And the two who caused today’s turmoil, regardless if it’s the Ju Mang Ancestor Witch from the Witch Deity Teaching or the former Wood Virtue Star Lord now the Yin Department Netherworld Reincarnation King, both will likely be formidable opponents after their Tao Certifying.”

“The figures from Buddhism and the Taoist School cannot be ignored either. Who knows what the Taoist School is hiding, but even the Arhat from Buddhism, if they certify as Taoist Monarchs, would be quite troubling.”

The attention of many Taoist Monarchs seemed to quickly shift from the Tao Certifying of the True Martial Emperor to taking stock of other potential threats.

This was actually quite logical, given that the True Martial Emperor’s Tao Certifying didn’t seem dangerous, and no one was eager to interfere at this moment.

That True Martial Emperor had the support of the Jade Emperor, making him part of the newly ascended Taoist Monarch alliance, and various powerhouses were unwilling to obstruct.

In addition to his connections with the Longevity Taoist Monarch, no one dared to ensure whether stepping in would provoke a reaction from the Longevity Taoist Monarch.

After all, it’s not obvious that even the Fire Virtue Star Lord and the Great Emperor Ziwei’s battle was to prevent the Da Xue Country Lord’s Tao Certifying?

But now that the Da Xue Country Lord has already certified as a Taoist Monarch, it proves the success of the Great Emperor Ziwei’s plan, bringing their confrontation to an end. Should they continue entangling, it would be two against one, with the Fire Virtue Star Lord falling into a siege.

Therefore, clear in knowing the void’s battle is nearing conclusion, rather than watch pointlessly, they refocused on potential opponents.

In taking stock, surprisingly many threats emerged, all potential Taoist Monarch seeds, with any certifying as a Taoist Monarch not being weak.

And that’s just the surface, leaving out some, just from the Sword Sect, Xuantian Sect, and Xuan Du Guan, there must be a few on the verge of Tao Certifying, and once they do, they would be formidable opponents too.

“The age of the Taoist Monarchs has truly arrived, and only forces with a Taoist Monarch have the right to participate in the grand scheme of the world. Without the support of a Taoist Monarch, they would inevitably become pawns without autonomy.”

“A new generation is replacing the old!”

“Haha, they’re all pretty convincing. All are old foxes; what’s this ghost story play-acting? Do they really believe that showing weakness now will divert others’ attention from them?” A distinctive voice emerged, mockingly said, “For so many years, how many times we secretly and openly clashed, haven’t you all gauged each other’s strength by now? These people may be strong, but it’s not like you can’t deal with them.”

As many Taoist Monarchs marveled at the strength of those certifying as Taoist Monarchs and worried about the threats of newcomers, this voice distinctly stood out.

It directly laid bare the little thoughts of these Taoist Monarchs, questioning whether these new Taoist Monarchs were indeed that strong and whether they were really so weak?

Every Tao Certifying Taoist Monarch represents strength, being the cream of the crop in cultivation, eclipsing countless adversaries.

Though the newly certified Taoist Monarchs are indeed formidable, present here certifying before them are not weaklings either.

If they were truly weak, how could they certify as Taoist Monarchs ahead of time? Wouldn’t this be a paradox?

Indeed, the displayed power of the Da Xue Country Lord was impressive, but even for the Tao Certifying Monarchs for such a long time, didn’t each have trump cards, didn’t each have means?

Even if they couldn’t easily suppress their opponents, they absolutely couldn’t be without the power to fight back.

Their current attitudes and words were nothing more than seeing the shifting situation, harboring ideas of going along with the flow and borrowing strength to deal blows.

They aimed to hide themselves, letting others fight first, and then seize opportunities for fisherman’s gains.

Unfortunately, at this moment, someone seemed to pierce through these intentions, thoroughly dismantling the plans of these powerhouses.

These old foxes thought of borrowing strength to injure others, intending to fan the flames and display weakness, using ignorance of the situation by many strong players to create more chaos, hoping to fish in troubled waters.

This was supposed to be the joint interest of many Taoist Monarchs, maintaining basic mutual understanding anyway, seeing no fault in failing.

But then, suddenly, a Taoist Monarch stood up, righteously rebuking, exposing them, immediately arousing the dissatisfaction of many Taoist Monarchs.

Why on earth would you do that!
