The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 585: Chapter 533: 20 Years of Concern for the Court

Time flies, and the seasons change.

Everything in the world has been conducted in an orderly manner, and in a blink of an eye, the world has been peaceful for twenty years.

In these twenty years, the martial world has undergone dramatic changes. The concentration of the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi has been continually increasing, thus raising the power level that the world can accommodate, numerous powerhouses of the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm from the Sky Wasteland have descended.

Of course, these powerhouses at the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm have to face a brief period of rejection by Heaven and Earth once they arrive. Their combat power cannot be fully utilized. Therefore, even if some of them are dissatisfied with the rules set by Pei Xuanjing, who is known as the world’s first and unrivaled powerhouse, most people still retain their sanity and chose not to provoke him. Instead, they chose to remain dormant.

However, there are always some rash and foolish people in this world. Inevitably, not all powerhouses were content to comply with Pei Xuanjing’s rules, whether because of their own arrogant nature or because they were instigated by others.

Some people believe that local snakes cannot be oppressed by even the strongest dragons. But for these powerhouses, they thought of themselves as dragons that dare to cross the river.

Several cultivators at the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm descended and revealed their formidable strength. Once they learned that only Pei Xuanjing, a powerhouse at the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm, and the enigmatic emperor of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty were ruling the world, they immediately began to act recklessly.

They completely ignored the rules set by Pei Xuanjing, rampaging in the world and plundering heavenly and earthly treasures birthed by the revived Heaven and Earth. In addition, they had no scruples about attacking ordinary people and martial artists.

This thoroughly angered Pei Xuanjing. While in seclusion, Pei Xuanjing once again descended, manifesting his terrifying power. He consecutively killed four cultivators at the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm, which immediately shocked the entire world.

Truth be told, the actions of these people, recklessly trampling on the rules, were undoubtedly a provocation and a test to Pei Xuanjing’s attitude. They were waiting for his response. Behind all this, there must be a lot of people covertly supporting and instigating them.

However, no one expected Pei Xuanjing to be so decisive, domineering, and terrifying.

Reaching the Ninth Realm of Spirit is like ascending to the heavens in a single step. Cultivating to the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm and stepping into the Sixth Level means becoming a powerful figure who dominates a region even in the Sky Wasteland, where there are numerous powerhouses. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the top powers would not easily offend such powerhouses.

One can say that a cultivator who has attained such a stage can lead a good life without encountering any major crises, as long as they do not offend all the powers and avoid joint encirclement and suppression.

As for the current state of the Sky Wasteland, although many cultivators die each year, deaths of cultivators at the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm can be traced back to hundreds of years ago during the great battle between the human race and the Demon Race.

The fall of the four cultivators at the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm shocked the world. Especially those who had returned from the Sky Wasteland were immediately terrified by Pei Xuanjing’s ruthless and decisive measures.

They originally thought that with many powerhouses from the Sky Wasteland about to return, Pei Xuanjing, who was now the strongest in the ancestral land, would have some misgivings even if he usually acted high-handedly.

Even if these people violated Pei Xuanjing’s rules, he would only temporarily suppress these people, and it was uncertain whether he would have the ability to suppress them…

However, such a result sent chills down the spines of countless people.

Even in the Sky Wasteland, a world where survival of the fittest is bare, powerhouses still possess certain privileges. But now, the fact that a powerhouse at the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm, who could dominate a region, had fallen, shocked countless people.

“Powerhouses have privileges, and as the strongest, I have my own privileges and rules. Those who anger me should die!”

These were the exact words given by Pei Xuanjing when Mu Binghua from Heart Moon Lake came to persuade him.

Once these words were made known, the world fell silent, and no one could refute Pei Xuanjing’s words.

Of course, the reason they were speechless was ultimately due to Pei Xuanjing’s power.

It should be noted that this time, it wasn’t Pei Xuanjing’s real body that killed these people. He simply manifested an incarnation. With minimal effort, he easily killed several cultivators at the Seventh Level of Spiritual Realm.

Just by using an incarnation to kill cultivators at the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm, such terrifying power made everyone silent. Some even suspected that Pei Xuanjing might have reached the Spirit Realm Eightfold.

Pei Xuanjing’s attack this time undeniably made the returning powerhouses from the Sky Wasteland fall silent, not daring to violate Pei Xuanjing’s rules in any way.

Next, the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi in this Daming World became denser and denser. Countless martial artists broke through their realms, entered the Spiritual Realm, and the number of cultivators in the Spiritual Realm increased drastically.

Heaven and Earth are fair. The initial silence of Heaven and Earth restricted all martial artists, preventing them from reaching higher levels, causing numerous talents to die in regret.

However, once the seal of Heaven and Earth was broken and Heaven and Earth were revived, the world began to give back to all martial artists. During this revival, not only did the concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi increase, but the will of Heaven and Earth also became apparent, and the principles of Heaven and Earth became clear.

For both martial artists and cultivators, practicing in such a drastically changing environment is highly beneficial. The problems and bottlenecks in their cultivation are diminished, and they can break through more easily.

In these twenty years, the branches of the Taoist Academy have been expanding continuously. Every year, martial artists of appropriate age join the academy. They receive guidance in the academy and take tasks in front of the statues of Pei Xuanjing in each academy, earning contribution points and exchanging them for skills and martial arts to enhance their strength.

After more than twenty years of development, countless branches of the Taoist Academy have been established. Apart from Pei Xuanjing and Qingyang Zi who handles the affairs of the academy, no one knows how many branches of the Taoist Academy there are in the world, nor how many powerhouses have graduated from the academy.

Over the years, new generations of talents in the martial world have been rising steadily. Pei Xuanjing has become a figure of legend, and many newcomers seldom get the chance to see him. Even his disciple Pang Hong has become an influential figure in the martial world, a highly respected elder to countless juniors.

Of course, although Pei Xuanjing still remains aloof and indifferent to world affairs as he used to be, he can’t ignore the rapid growth of the academy. The academy has almost become a behemoth that all forces are extremely wary of, but can do nothing about.

“The Taoist Academy is now all over the world. Countless powerhouses have come out of the academy. They consider themselves disciples of the national teacher. I’m afraid it will be difficult to remove the tail in the future,” someone in the Great Ming Divine Dynasty said.
