The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 2165: Chapter 2110–2111: Requesting Help, Treasure Two Diagrams Map (2)

However, later on, Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing personally took action to help Qingyang Zi refine the Two Diagrams Map, greatly enhancing its power, and making it the true trump card that would position Qingyang Zi as a top True Immortal.

The True Martial Sect itself practices the Dao of Tai Chi Two Principles. This Two Diagrams Map is refined by mixing Yin Yang Qi, possessing many Divine Abilities such as suppressing, trapping, and warding off. Although it cannot break the Eight Trigrams Divine Array, it is sufficient to help Thunder Sword True Man suppress various crises within the Eight Trigrams Divine Array.

“Thank you, Master. I vow to retrieve Junior Brother’s Divine Soul!” Thunder Sword True Man expressed a joyful look on his face, pledging earnestly.

With the Two Diagrams Map in hand, he arrived at Fire God City with an energetic demeanor. The mere ability to activate even a sliver of this map’s power was enough for him to subdue top Supreme Strong Overlords, or even True Immortals.

Before long, Water and Fire Taoist appeared, having just received a report from his warriors about Thunder Sword’s return. He remained puzzled as to why Thunder Sword came back so quickly.

“Greetings, Senior Brother. I believe Senior Brother’s return means you’ve found a way to counter the Eight Trigrams Divine Array, ensuring the retrieval of Junior Brother’s Divine Soul.” He too was full of hope, as he was most worried about Wind and Thunder Master’s true closeness during this period.

“Yes, previously the opponent used the power of the Great Formation to bully me. Now, I sought out the Vice Institute Master and borrowed the Two Diagrams Map. This time, I plan not only to rescue Junior Brother’s Divine Soul but also to dismantle the Eight Trigrams Array, showcasing our Taoist Academy’s Divine Abilities,” Thunder Sword True Man spoke in a serious tone, his eyes gleaming with a sharp Divine Light.

Although he escaped unscathed that time, it was a humiliation for him, one that he could not bear to face with his peers if not eradicated.

Cultivators have a long lifespan, reaching the Supreme Strong Overlord Realm can grant thousands of years of life. Moreover, being just a step away from True Immortal, they defend their dignity fiercely.

Throughout their prolonged existence, perhaps their only obsession is their pride. Losing it means living with that shame in an endless life, a situation even a god might collapse from. Thus, every cultivator values their dignity immensely, even a Taoist Monarch fights for their honor, this is the struggle for pride.

“When does Senior Brother plan to break the array?” Water and Fire Taoist adjusted his expression, not finding any fault with Thunder Sword’s words, naturally asking.

“Tonight, at midnight, just like before, we’ll break the array.” Wind and Thunder Master’s face briefly flashed a fierce look before speaking authoritatively.

The dark night quickly fell, with submerged killing intent hidden beneath the night’s veil.

“Tonight at the third watch is the time to eradicate the Eight Trigrams Array.” Within an ancient sword dais, Wind and Thunder Master sat solemnly atop the meditation cushion. This was considered a special cultivation site Fire God City provided him.

As someone from the Taoist Academy’s lineage, the senior to Wind and Thunder True Immortal, with such distinguished status coming to Fire God City, it naturally warranted grand hospitality.

Yet, for Thunder Sword True Man, lavish palaces are mere externals; he focuses solely on cultivation, caring for nothing but this sword dais, reputedly left by a top Sword Path master.

“In the mortal world, in the mundane realm, there also arise prodigious talents. Even if they cannot achieve eternal life like top immortal sects, they amaze with their brilliance, capable of developing such a Divine Land, achieving heights even among supreme beings.” Thunder Sword True Man’s Divine Soul sensed this sword dais, feeling deeply, realizing that even top immortal sects like Taoist Academy and Shenxiao Sect have their individual mountain gates with Taoist Monarch protection, this sword dais being one of a kind.

“Creating such a sword dais requires a top Supreme Strong’s fall, with their body and Divine Soul merged within to build it, proving the depth of the Red Emperor Bloodline, human race’s Holy Emperor lineage indeed.” Thunder Sword True Man stood in the middle of the sword dais, feeling a pang of regret for such an exceptional talent’s demise.

The path of cultivators, seemingly capable of flying through heaven and earth, promising longevity, is also a fierce contest on a single-log bridge. A loss brings catastrophe, leading to extinction, beyond revival.

“A catastrophe is both calamity and opportunity. This time, the Taoist Monarch reconstitutes the Gods Sealing List, able to hold more Divine Positions. The emergence of this list might be a saving grace, preserving a glimmer of hope post-fall. When the world changes drastically, it might allow escape from shackles, gathering Power of Faith, striving for higher realms.” Thunder Sword True Man thought silently.

The Taoist Academy disciples are abundant, countless. Yet, reaching this level, being remembered by Qingyang Zi, the Vice Institute Master, being allowed to enter Shenxiao Sect to cultivate Pei Xuanjing’s Sword Path, reflects Thunder Sword True Man’s extraordinariness.

“Many peers and siblings in the Taoist Academy are likely stepping into True Immortal now, or have already entered it. It seems I must hasten my pace too. Once this matter concludes, immediate seclusion is imperative; without True Immortal Realm breakthrough, I shall not emerge.” Thunder Sword True Man felt the cold, bone-piercing killing intent descending from the void, recognizing the need for enough strength to survive.

In a catastrophe, no matter an immortal sect disciple’s noble birth, defeat means dying in battle. Even with Thunder Sword True Man’s exceptional resources, he harbors some uncertainty about his future.

“Junior Brother Feng Lei has a mysterious background, receiving guidance from the Ancestral Master; other brothers have their own fortunes. It appears I too must strive harder.” Thunder Sword True Man’s expression was steadfast and resolute, facing the looming catastrophe with determination, unswayed by setbacks, daring to confront the crisis.

“In terms of talent, I am ordinary among peers, even considered mediocre. Yet, surviving thus far is due to my unyielding spirit, fearless of adversity, pushing forward constantly. Adversity is also opportunity; crossing it and severing karma can indeed lead to higher realms. Unlike other gifted siblings, only through relentlessly seizing opportunities can I keep pace with them.” Thunder Sword True Man quietly awaited the third watch’s arrival, marking the moment he would reclaim Wind and Thunder Master’s Divine Soul.

“Dong!”

“Dong!”

“Dong!”

Three chimes rang out, Thunder Sword True Man immediately rose, stepping forward to transform into a sword shadow, traveling across the Ten Directions in an instant, a top-level Divine Ability and a variant of Shenxiao Sect’s Thunder Escape Technique, capable of fleeing even when trapped in certain formations.

Relying solely on this Divine Ability, during crises, Shenxiao Sect’s disciples possess the ultimate survival means. Without it, Thunder Sword True Man wouldn’t have escaped during the Water Marsh Array’s previous peril.

“Senior Brother, it’s the third watch. Should we proceed together to break the array?” Water and Fire Taoist’s timely appearance prompted him to quickly approach Thunder Sword True Man, asking.

“Nevermind, the two of us are sufficient to break the array. You shall wait outside while I alone dismantle the Great Formation,” Thunder Sword True Man waved his hand, instructing firmly.

“Very well, as Senior Brother says,” Water Fire hesitated slightly, originally wanting to speak, but seeing Thunder Sword True Man’s decisive refusal, he could only reluctantly agree and bowed in assent.

He knew well the Eight Trigrams Divine Array’s terrifying nature, united as one, the eight Taoists acting together could astonish heavens, stir Ghost Gods, not just Senior Brother, a top Supreme Strong Overlord, even True Immortal Strong must retreat.

This time, Senior Brother appeared confident yet perhaps somewhat uncertain, fearing he might become a liability.

“This time, borrowing the Magical Treasure from the Vice Institute Master will suppress the Great Formation, enough to pin down the Ten Extremes Formation. No matter how peerless the opponent’s Divine Abilities are, they cannot withstand the Vice Institute Master’s Treasure,” Thunder Sword True Man seemed to perceive Water Fire’s hesitation, offering reassurance.
