The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 580: 528

“A powerhouse at the sixth level of the Spirit Realm has fallen just like that.” Wang Changqing’s face changed slightly as he looked at the message in his hand.

“Pei Xuanjing, such a terrifying presence!” There was an indelible look of horror on Yang Yongxiu’s face. Despair filled his eyes. “Is a seventh-level Spirit Realm powerhouse this powerful? I heard he merely used an incarnation to suppress and kill a sixth-level Spirit Realm powerhouse.”

Sometimes the closer one gets to the other, the more terrifying they seem.

Before, Yang Yongxiu only knew that Pei Xuanjing was very powerful. However, with his increasing strength and deeper understanding of Spirit Realm cultivators, he began to understand the true terror of Pei Xuanjing.

Reaching the nine realms of Spirit is like ascending to heaven with every step. Only when one steps into the Spirit Realm do they understand how difficult it is to advance further and how each increase in realm represents a substantial increase in strength.

For Yang Yongxiu, who is currently only at the second level of the Spirit Realm, a fifth-order, fourth-level Spirit Realm powerhouse is already an extremely formidable existence that he can hardly oppose. Meanwhile, a sixth-level Spirit Realm powerhouse is unimaginably powerful.

Yet such an insurmountable powerhouse in Yang Yongxiu’s eyes was suppressed and killed by an incarnation of Pei Xuanjing. How terrifying this is!

“It isn’t as simple as that,” Wang Changqing said solemnly. “While seventh-level Spirit Realm powerhouses are indeed terrifying, they shouldn’t be able to suppress a sixth-level Spirit Realm powerhouse with just an incarnation. The fact that Pei Xuanjing can do this indicates that his strength far surpasses that of an ordinary seventh-level Spirit Realm powerhouse.”

The Hell Demon Sect is a top-tier force in the Sky Wasteland. Being a sixth-level Spirit Realm powerhouse of the Hell Demon Sect, Wang Changqing himself had experienced seventh-level Spirit Realm powerhouses. However, none of the seventh-level Spirit Realm powerhouses within his sect could match Pei Xuanjing.

Indeed, Pei Xuanjing alone possessed the technique of external incarnation, and this skill made him an entity that many powerful beings could only look up to.

It is known that most seventh-level Spirit Realm powerhouses have the ability to separate incarnations, but few ever do. This is because the power of their incarnations is often less than a thousandth of their original body’s. Their incarnations are hardly useful except in special circumstances.

Yet Pei Xuanjing’s incarnation was able to easily suppress a sixth-level Spirit Realm great cultivator despite being so far away and having arrived so rapidly, demonstrating the terrifying nature of his capabilities.

Yang Yongxiu remained silent, his understanding of the terror of Pei Xuanjing intensifying.

…

“Having not seen each other in nearly a decade, I initially thought I had made significant strides, but comparing myself to Brother Pei, not only has the gap not been closed, but it seems to have widened several times.” Zhao Baiyang was also shocked upon hearing the news.

After consolidating all the martial studies of the Mire Sect and the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, his skills have become more complete. After several years of seclusion, his strength has also seen rapid growth.

Nevertheless, he admitted that if he were to face off against a sixth-level Spirit Realm great cultivator, he could, at best, barely escape with his life, and there was absolutely no chance for him to suppress his opponent.

However, Pei Xuanjing was currently able to suppress a sixth-level Spirit Realm cultivator with just an incarnation from millions of miles away. How terrifying is his power!

This is enough to show that although he himself has progressed rapidly in the past decade, Pei Xuanjing’s cultivation progress is even faster, and his strength is growing even more rapidly.

“It seems that I need to work harder. Being in the same era as such a powerhouse is both a blessing and a curse,” Zhao Baiyang sighed.

The restoration of Heaven and Earth would reach its peak in thirty years. It was also then that the old forces from the Sky Wasteland could return. This news had long since widely spread, reaching the ears of everyone.

Thirty years, half a 60-year cycle, might seem long to ordinary people or some martial artists. But for these cultivators who have entered the Spirit Realm, it is merely a flick of the fingers.

Zhao Baiyang knew that in thirty years, an unimaginable future world would emerge. His own league of outside forces would then face massive waves. Whether they could carve out a place for themselves in this grand age depended on this moment.

Because even though he had not had extensive contact with these old powers yet, from what he knew about them, he recognized that these forces were definitely not kindly. Despite their attitudes, it all boiled down to strength in the end. Without sufficient strength, one wouldn’t even have the right to speak in front of these forces.

Moreover, Zhao Baiyang, seeing Pei Xuanjing as a Taoist friend and being shocked by his strength, wasn’t discouraged at all. Instead, he felt his determination reignite, aspiring to reach the pinnacle and stand on the same level as Pei Xuanjing once again.

The same was true for others who were of the same caliber as Pei Xuanjing, such as Zhao Baiyang of the Outsider Alliance, Taoist Qingxu of the True Martial Sect, Old Heavenly Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain, Prince of Xiang Zhu Yousong of the Great Ming Royal Family, several elders of the Clan Alliance, several notable monks in the Buddhism School, Zi Tianxiong of the Heavenly King’s Pavilion, Tie Qianshan of the Tie Sect…

All these noteworthy figures in the world, who were once on par with Pei Xuanjing, naturally wouldn’t be content to be overshadowed by his brilliance. They were also all shocked by this action of Pei Xuanjing, dropping their current affairs to go into seclusion again, hoping to seize the final opportunity in the next thirty years to make strenuous efforts to increase their cultivation, to secure enough say in the coming grand age.

Even Xue Wuheng, the Demon Cult master who had been persistently hunting down Wang Changqing and Yang Yongxiu, reduced his attention on the two of them and focused more on his cultivation.

After all, compared to hunting the two of them, Xue Wuheng was very clear that his own strength is the most reliable thing in this world. If he could hunt the two of them down now, there will be nothing to those defeated and insignificant ones once his strength reached a higher level.

For Xue Wuheng, his real enemies were not these people, but the demonic forces that would descend in thirty years. If he didn’t have enough strength to resist them, killing these people now would be pointless. The final result awaiting him when those people descend in the future would still be death.

It can be said that the impact of Pei Xuanjing’s action this time was enormous. Firstly, he killed a sixth-level Spirit Realm great cultivator of the Demonic Cult. Such a domineering and decisive action served as an effective deterrent, teaching those returning from the Sky Wasteland how they should behave.

But whether they hold discontent and resentment in their hearts or not, they don’t have the qualifications to defy Pei Xuanjing’s rules in the face of the currently invincible Pei Xuanjing—at least not for now. Therefore, they can only silently lay low for now.

The powerhouses from all over the Daming World had no choice but to lay low under Pei Xuanjing’s overpowering prowess.

In fact, the world was peaceful for a while as almost all powerhouses at the Spirit Realm were seizing the time to cultivate; nobody stirred up waves anymore.
