The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 815: Chapter 765 Open Scheme

“`

Now, whether it is the Daming World or the Sky Wasteland, it seems that the world’s carrying capacity has reached a limit, allowing only the existence of monks of the Nine Realms of Spirit but unable to produce real Immortal Daoist strongmen.

This is a helpless fact derived by many supreme strong ones through perusing countless records and combining their own circumstances, who believe that it is precisely because of such a cruel truth that numerous geniuses with unparalleled talent have been unable to step onto the Immortal Path and attain longevity, transforming into undying and immortal True Immortals.

It was also for this reason that after the Revival of the Ancestral Land, these supreme strong ones joined forces to develop the current plan of the merger of the two worlds. They wanted to integrate the Sky Wasteland into the Daming World, elevate Heaven and Earth, seize the creation, and break through to the Immortal Path.

Pei Xuanjing approved of this deduction, or rather, by combining some of his own experiences, he was even more certain of this point.

Whether it was before the revival of the Daming World or in the worlds that Pei Xuanjing projected and simulated, the constraints of the world’s upper limit proved this point.

In Pei Xuanjing’s view, the reason why the Daming World and Sky Wasteland could not give birth to Immortal Daoist strongmen was because of the limitations and constraints imposed by Heaven and Earth, the problem of the ultimate capacity for containment.

To give birth to Immortal Daoist strongmen, one had to either strengthen the world’s limits, like the Daming World did during its Revival, or ascend to higher realms by becoming a celestial being, as Pei Xuanjing had experienced in the World of Myriad Manifestations.

However, despite his perusal of countless records, he was never able to find any evidence of the so-called higher realms’ existence. Therefore, if one wanted to step onto the Immortal Path, there was only one way before them: to promote the ascent of the Daming World and in doing so, break through the limits to accommodate Immortal Daoist strongmen.

This integration of Sky Wasteland into the Daming World was but an attempt; if successful, it would mean this path had no issues. Even if it did not produce Immortal Daoist strongmen in one attempt, Pei Xuanjing would continue to push for it, pursuing further elevation of Heaven and Earth.

Heaven and Earth Ascension has its good and bad for all living beings.

The advantage is simple: the opening of the upper limit of Heaven and Earth means one can go further, and the creation borne from Heaven and Earth Ascension is a rare opportunity for living beings. Even if the majority cannot enjoy much of the creation, the fundamental nectar of the ascension is bestowed upon every creature Between Heaven and Earth, which no one can take away.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. The elevation of the upper limit of Heaven and Earth means that the difficulty of cultivation decreases, but for most cultivators, their talent and aptitude can only support them up to their current limits—meaning the gap between them and the top cultivators will widen even more.

Cultivation is like rowing against the current: one must progress or face regression. Normally, one needs to cultivate day and night just to maintain oneself. Yet, after the Heaven and Earth Ascension, the speed of cultivators’ advancements will become even faster.

In Pei Xuanjing’s view, this will undoubtedly lead to more severe internal competition among the majority of cultivators.

Therefore, after hearing all this, Zhu Houji immediately understood that with Heaven and Earth’s limit +1, only those with strong talents would be able to rise along with the Heaven and Earth’s limit for a +1 increase. Most other cultivators would only make marginal progress, which is equivalent to being downgraded without doing anything.

“Decades of accumulated power in the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, if after Heaven and Earth Ascension, not only could not narrow the gap with those top forces but would be further widened,” Zhu Houji thought helplessly.

Although this outcome was hard to accept, Zhu Houji, with his wisdom, found the conclusion to be without fault, entirely correct.

Zhu Houji’s heart was extremely conflicted, not knowing what to do for a moment.

However, his Great Ming Divine Dynasty was still doing alright, at least many strong ones in the Divine Dynasty had Divine Positions within them. With Heaven and Earth’s Ascension, it also meant an enhancement of the authority of Divine Positions. Although it couldn’t match the immediate benefits gained by those top forces, given time, this difference could be entirely made up for.

The ones truly at a loss were the mid-tier forces. After Heaven and Earth Ascension, the gap between forces would widen significantly, with the distinctions between the strong and the weak becoming more apparent.

“Since that’s the case, Mr. Wu, you may as well go into seclusion. If there is a need, you may speak directly. Whatever I can do, I won’t refuse,” Zhu Houji said to Wu Shijiu.

He now understood that with such an obvious disparity in breaking through to the supreme realm before and after the Heaven and Earth Ascension, undoubtedly, many besides Wu Shijiu would take this opportunity to try their luck and break through, not wanting to remain confined here any longer.

Indeed, Wu Shijiu was preparing to break through at this moment, while many Spirit Realm Eightfold Cultivators from top forces, as well as numerous strong ones from first-rate forces, have coincidentally entered into secluded cultivation.

No one wanted to miss this opportunity. For those top forces, the Immortal Path might be open with the ascendancy of Heaven and Earth, and so they needed to do their utmost to give birth to more powerhouses, securing more interest.

And for the many first-rate forces, especially those with long-standing traditions, they have been stuck in their positions for too long, constantly waiting for a supreme powerhouse of the Nine Realms of Spirit to emerge and lift them into top-tier forces.

Previously, although they had some aspirations, the pressure they faced was not too great, and they had ample time to strategize and prepare.

But now, with these supreme beings pushing the merger plan of both worlds, this undoubtedly disrupted their original plans, forcing many first-rate forces that were previously concealing their strength to reconsider their plans. Unless they were content to miss this chance and remain in the second tier in the future.

Many wise individuals from these first-rate forces speculated in their minds that perhaps this sudden upheaval was an open scheme orchestrated by the top-tier forces to force them into revealing themselves and making a choice.

After all, the structure of the world Between Heaven and Earth had been stable for years. For any supreme powerhouse not from an original top-tier force to emerge would mean that many of the entrenched interests would need to be redistributed.

Thus, although the top forces did not oppress overtly, they still suppressed them covertly to prevent too many disruptors from sharing their interests and upsetting the current structure.

Otherwise, why over the years, only the Taixu Venerable broke through to lead the Taixu Sect in ascending to a first-rate force?

The Taixu Sect indeed has a long heritage, but there are many other first-rate forces that are no less distinguished, yet many Spirit Realm Eightfold Cultivators from these forces have not attempted to break through. It’s not that they lack the confidence, but they fear the unforeseen complications that may arise.
