The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 825: Chapter 775 Imperial Edict

“Zhen King!” Qingxu Taoist cried out in alarm.

His face was filled with horror, and although he did not understand why Pei Xuanjing was willing to pay such a heavy price to help them, he also wanted to stop him.

Pei Xuanjing’s existence was too important now, not only concerning the Shenxiao Sect and the Taoist School, but also related to the entire Great Ming world.

With the merging of the worlds, the original beings of the Daming World were to face the overwhelming domination of the Sky Wasteland, unable to resist at all. However, due to Pei Xuanjing’s existence, those forces from the Sky Wasteland were deterred, which earned the beings of the Daming World their peace, leading to today’s stability.

Therefore, after learning of this possibility, Qingxu Taoist showed a hesitant look. Indeed, he truly wished to salvage the situation, to subjugate the deity, but definitely not at the cost of Pei Xuanjing sustaining severe injuries.

“Foolish words, there is no need for you to worry about anything, I am fully confident,” Pei Xuanjing said, completely ignoring the previous concern, confidently stating, “Next, I shall take action to suppress the opponent, and then erase their sapience. What you need to do is decide who among you will make the sacrifice to merge with this deity.”

Seeing Pei Xuanjing so decisive and still brimming with confidence, Qingxu Taoist also temporarily suppressed his own anxieties.

“If that’s the case, let me do it myself!” Qingxu Taoist did not tell others about this matter, choosing to take on the responsibility himself.

He did not know how assured Pei Xuanjing was, nor did he know the probability of success in merging with the deity after erasing the evil deity’s sapience, but he decided to do it himself.

When you occupy a position, naturally, you have to bear its responsibility.

As the Sect Leader of the True Martial Sect, Qingxu Taoist wielded the authority of the sect, respected by thousands of disciples, enjoying power, and naturally, he also needed to assume the corresponding responsibility.

Of course, he was aware that with his prestige within the True Martial Sect, even without him speaking up, just by bringing up this matter, the disciples of the True Martial Sect would volunteer, competing with each other to do it.

But Qingxu Taoist would not do so. The disciples of the True Martial Sect could make sacrifices, but it was not for him to allow them to do so, especially since at this stage of the Zhenwu Plan, he, as the Sect Leader, also needed to take on the greatest responsibility. Since that was the case, let him make the sacrifice!

“Good!” Pei Xuanjing nodded his head.

He did not persuade or explain the possible consequences that could happen, for although he had made clear the reasons and knew what to do, the final outcome was actually not absolutely certain.

And Qingxu Taoist’s willingness to attempt it personally was, in Pei Xuanjing’s view, actually the optimal choice, since based on the latter’s power and realm, he was the most suitable person from the True Martial Sect.

“Are you really willing to risk the threat of divine punishment and act against the heavens?” Seeing Pei Xuanjing’s attitude, the evil deity’s expression changed drastically, and he said sternly, “You and I are of the same origin, why do you have to be so aggressively oppressive?”

Unfortunately, his rage and words meant nothing to Pei Xuanjing. He completely ignored what was said, not even interested in responding.

Divine Power circulated, the Divine Position of Jade Purity True Monarch was fully activated, and Pei Xuanjing’s Sanbao Jade Ruyi in his hand shone with dazzling light, emitting terrifying energy.

The Sanbao Jade Ruyi floated in space, bursting with blinding light, and then Pei Xuanjing’s pair of white and slender palms danced in the void, his fingers flicking lightly, as mysterious Talismans formed out of thin air.

He stepped on Gang steps, each step releasing an aura of profundity, embodying the Will of Heaven and Earth, as if merging with heaven and earth, holding authority in hand.

“Decree!”

Pei Xuanjing’s roar was like thunder, resounding majestically and spreading in all directions. Following his shout, it was as if his figure grew millions of feet tall, standing erect like the shadow of a deity between heaven and earth.

With this cry, the light from the Sanbao Jade Ruyi grew even brighter, gushing out like the water of the Heavenly River above the nine heavens, instantly covering the Eight Trigrams formation space that trapped the evil deity.

“Ahhhh…”

Once the light enveloped the Eight Trigrams formation space, the struggling evil deity inside immediately let out a crazed scream as if it had encountered some ferocious flood or beast.

Indeed, it was not surprising that the opponent felt such pain for the divine power Pei Xuanjing had displayed was no simple feat.

In his last projection simulation of human life, Pei Xuanjing had established his Divine Court. As the master of the Divine Court, he naturally possessed the power to restrain gods, for how else could he command a multitude of deities?

This divine power had little effect on ordinary cultivators, but it innately restrained deities, created specifically to obliterate the wisdom of gods.

An Innate Deity, birthed from the primordial, even if it was an evil one, was still under the blessing of heaven and earth before losing its divine favor. When harmed, heaven and earth would naturally react.

Boom!

The firmament trembled, the sky darkened, and clouds thickened. Lightning flashed and thunder roared as the will of heaven and earth began to watch over this place, as if the entire world was issuing a warning about the impending annihilation of this Innate God.

The rich power of thunder began to gather, followed by a huge black lightning bolt streaking across the sky, bringing with it oppressive currents and storms.

The terrifying aura descended upon Pei Xuanjing, the instigator of it all, as if warning him to cease his actions.

“Would this Supreme Being shrink back for this reason?” Pei Xuanjing scorned the warning conveyed by the will of heaven and earth in his heart.

Far from thinking of retreat, he faced the difficulty head-on. Divine power surged more mightily, emitting even greater radiance that enveloped the evil deity.

“Now, by the decree of Jade Purity True Monarch, Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, I strip away its spirit and wisdom…” Pei Xuanjing murmured, each word he spoke solidifying like golden rules and jade decrees into written characters. These characters danced and arranged themselves in the void in front of him, eventually forming a line of Shenwen talismans and culminating into a purple-gold divine edict.

Pei Xuanjing reached out for the Sanbao Jade Ruyi, placed it upon the purple-gold divine edict, and then it descended into the hands of Qingxu Taoist.

“Take this divine edict, let your Yin Spirit merge with it, and enter the divine body of this evil god. It will aid you in suppressing the evil deity’s spirit and wisdom, and taking control of the divine body,” Pei Xuanjing’s voice sounded in the ears of Qingxu Taoist.

“I understand, many thanks to the True King,” with no hesitation, Qingxu Taoist felt the terrifying power of the purple-gold divine edict in his hands and decisively did as Pei Xuanjing had said.

His Yin Spirit flew out, enveloped by the purple-gold divine edict, piercing through space directly into the Eight Trigrams formation space, and then rushed into the divine body of the evil deity.
