The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 821: Chapter 771: Let’s See This Deity

“`

All preparations had proceeded steadily according to their plans, yet the divine fetus about to be born within now harbored immense malice towards them. That unabashed malice penetrated deep into the soul, felt not just by Pei Xuanjing, but even the Qingxu Taoist and others sensed it.

“National Preceptor, what should we do…” There was a hint of panic on Qingxu Taoist’s face.

The matter was of the utmost importance, and the unexpected turn of events shocked the usually composed Qingxu Taoist, causing him to become somewhat flustered.

He could not understand what had gone wrong, but the deity that was supposed to be safely born, the True Martial Emperor deity, why would it harbor such malice towards them.

Such a deity, possessing strong malice against them, and with such formidable strength, might not only fail to be True Martial Sect’s reliance and aid them in ascending to the heavens, but it could also bring about an immense disaster and calamity to True Martial Sect, leading to its destruction.

To be honest, at this moment, feeling the terrifying aura and strong malice emanating from the divine fetus, if not for the fact that True Martial Sect had invested too much into it, practically exhausting all their resources, and with Pei Xuanjing, a powerhouse, suppressing it by their side, Qingxu Taoist would have been tempted to destroy it then and there.

He looked towards Pei Xuanjing, hoping that he might have some method or solution.

After all, if it wasn’t absolutely necessary, Qingxu Taoist was not willing to destroy it, knowing it represented not only their immense sacrifices but also the future development of True Martial Sect. He still felt reluctant unless it was a last resort.

Certainly, Qingxu Taoist also possessed the courage and resolution to make a painful sacrifice for survival. If Pei Xuanjing also had no solution, he would choose to accept it and destroy the divine fetus to avoid future troubles.

“Do not worry; continue as you are, nothing is affected,” Pei Xuanjing, sensing the increasingly intense malice, showed no fear and spoke calmly.

His surprise was not at the strength displayed by the divine fetus but at why it harbored such intense malice.

Indeed, the divine fetus, after being nourished by such an abundance of divine power, was growing increasingly powerful, already hinting at approaching the eightfold Spirit Realm.

But what of it? A deity of the Spirit Realm eightfold might be an insurmountable threat for True Martial Sect and many other forces between Heaven and Earth, but not for Pei Xuanjing.

Not to mention the current Pei Xuanjing, who had already broken through to be amongst the strongest in the nine layers of the Spirit Realm, even the Pei Xuanjing of the past, before his breakthrough, could easily suppress a mere deity of the Spirit Realm eightfold.

While the adversary, an Innate God, indeed wielded Heavenly Authority and was blessed by the Will of Heaven and Earth, Pei Xuanjing, who held the Divine Position of Jade Purity True Monarch, similarly wielded authority. That force of Heavenly Earthly Force was a threat to other cultivators, but it was negligible to Pei Xuanjing.

Even if the deity nurtured within the divine fetus reached the peak of the Spirit Realm eightfold as Pei Xuanjing had anticipated, or even if it went a step further, crossing the Heavenly Chasm and leaping into the Nine Realms of Spirit, Pei Xuanjing was not the least bit frightened and was confident he could suppress it.

Truthfully, the stronger the divine fetus, the better; Pei Xuanjing was eager to witness for himself the Divine Abilities and power of this Innate God.

Although Pei Xuanjing harbored such thoughts, the True Martial Emperor deity was, after all, nurtured by True Martial Sect, and it wasn’t appropriate for him to intervene without proper reason.

Now, it had provided Pei Xuanjing with a sufficient reason to truly witness how powerful this Innate God was.

“Good!” Qingxu Taoist nodded vigorously without any hesitation.

For him, the concern was solely the birth of the Innate God and whether anyone could contend with it if it truly became hostile. Now that Pei Xuanjing was confident, he would not refuse.

Pei Xuanjing’s brilliant battle achievements had given Qingxu Taoist enough confidence. As one of the very few cultivators in this world who possessed the ability to suppress the strongest beings, if even Pei Xuanjing wasn’t confident enough to overpower his opponent, then Qingxu Taoist might start doubting whether they were actually capable of destroying the divine fetus.

“Continue accelerating the conversion of divine power,” Qingxu Taoist instructed the elders and disciples of the True Martial Sect.

Everyone had clearly felt the intense malice emanating from the divine fetus just now, so during his communication with Pei Xuanjing, those elders and disciples had unconsciously slowed down the pace of converting divine power.

After receiving a guarantee from Pei Xuanjing, these people heard Qingxu Taoist’s command and did not hesitate in the slightest; they resumed their previous actions and began to rapidly convert divine power.

As the Power of Incense Fire incessantly transformed into divine power and surged into the divine fetus, its aura grew ever stronger, and the malice intensified, almost as if it would materialize into something tangible.

Feeling this malice, the ordinary disciples and elders of the True Martial Sect began to feel increasingly suffocated as if fear had taken root in their souls and couldn’t be eradicated.

Upon seeing this, Pei Xuanjing gently caressed the Sanbao Jade Ruyi in his hand, and with a flicker of light from it, the malice that originally lingered in the hearts of the elders and disciples and could not be dispelled disappeared without a trace.

However, this was all he did, not because Pei Xuanjing lacked the strength to completely eliminate the malice but rather out of concern that if the Sanbao Jade Ruyi’s unleashed power was too terrifying, it might startle the divine fetus.

As time flowed, another month passed, and Pei Xuanjing discovered that the divine fetus’s absorption of power had reached a limit. The speed at which it was absorbing divine power started to decline, and he knew the divine power was sufficient; the divine fetus was about to be born.

“All of you should retreat now; otherwise, there might be danger,” Pei Xuanjing’s voice gently rose.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned their gaze to Qingxu Taoist, who naturally could discern the seriousness of the situation. He nodded, signaling everyone to leave.

After waiting for everyone to leave, only Pei Xuanjing and Qingxu Taoist remained, along with the divine fetus at the very center of the Zhenwu Array. The divine power operated autonomously within the formation, continuing to circulate and slowly surge toward the divine fetus, revolving around it.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

…

The intense sound of a heartbeat rhythmically rose, growing louder and louder, almost reverberating through the entire valley.

“National Teacher?” Qingxu Taoist asked tentatively with a doubtful look.

A hint of mocking smile appeared on the corners of Pei Xuanjing’s mouth as he said, “No need to rush; let’s see what other tricks this deity has.”

The two men and the divine fetus stood in opposition, with neither of them making a move. The only sound atop the mountain peak was the robust and rhythmic beating of a heart.

Boom!

A thunderous boom shook the heavens and the earth.
