The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 788: Chapter 738: The Demon Race’s Predicament

Sky Wasteland, the Holy Land of the Demon Race.

The current emperor of the Demon Race, the Lion Emperor, who had newly emerged from seclusion, received the news about Pei Xuanjing breaking through the realm and entering the Strongest Realm of the Ninth Spiritual Layer.

“He was originally just at the eighth level of the Spiritual Realm, his strength alone was enough to suppress the strongest. Now that he has advanced further, even I, the emperor, cannot easily suppress him.” A hint of wariness flashed in the Lion Emperor’s eyes.

Although he only met Pei Xuanjing in an incarnation, the terrifying aura he felt from Pei Xuanjing was very sensitive to a strong being like the Lion Emperor. He could feel Pei Xuanjing’s strength.

“The human race keeps producing strong individuals, while my Demon Race seems to be running out of successors,” a hint of gloom that was hard to dissipate lingered in the Lion Emperor’s heart.

For thousands of years, the human race and the Demon Race have been at a stalemate. Neither side could harm the other unless the strength was evenly matched. Both parties would prefer nothing more than to destroy the other and then dominate this world.

In the past few thousand years, no new strongest individuals have emerged among the Demon Race, while the human race has already promoted two. Even though Pei Xuanjing suppressed the newly promoted Taixu Venerable, the strength Pei Xuanjing showed was enough to match several ordinary strongest individuals, making him a true lord among the strongest.

Although the life span of the Demon Race is longer than that of the human race, this lack of successors is unthinkable and makes the Lion Emperor, the leader of the Demon Race, worry.

The current human race seems to be favored by Heaven and Earth, with strong individuals constantly emerging. Once the two races merge, the human race will benefit more, leading to the emergence of more strong individuals. Such a situation would disrupt the balance of strength between the human race and the Demon Race, and over time, the gap will only grow larger.

“We absolutely cannot allow the human race to become stronger. At least, when the human race becomes stronger, the Demon Race also needs to become stronger. Otherwise, when the human race gets stronger, my Demon Race will inevitably be suppressed, or even meet a total disaster.” The Lion Emperor felt an urgent need.

He was clear that the current situation was only temporary. If the human race becomes stronger and the Demon Race does not move forward, then one day the human race will inevitably act against the Demon Race, suppress, corrode, and eventually destroy it.

Because if their positions were reversed, the Demon Race would also inevitably act against the human race once they became stronger. There was no doubt about this.

So, the current cooperation between them and the human race is only temporary. After the two worlds merge and the world progresses, the Demon Race would inevitably choose to tear up the alliance and seize more benefits. Only in this way can the Demon Race become stronger and stand invincible.

Between races, there isn’t much morality. For the continuation of the race’s survival, all means are necessary.

…

“Who would have thought that he would break through so quickly? His talent is terrifying, and there has been no one like him in thousands of years!” The Master of Mystiq Sky exclaimed.

After learning that Pei Xuanjing had broken through to become the strongest, truly entering the Ninth Spiritual Layer, he also couldn’t help but sigh.

To the Master of Mystiq Sky, it was only a matter of time before Pei Xuanjing, who already possessed the combat power of the strongest, broke through to the Ninth Spiritual Layer. However, even so, he believed that Pei Xuanjing would need time to accumulate foundations, requiring hundreds of years to accumulate, and even if the elevation of Heaven and Earth could help shorten the time, it would definitely not be a matter of a short time.

“Thirty years are nothing more than the time for one of us to go into seclusion!” A hint of wariness flashed in the eyes of the Master of the Mystiq Sky.

Following the debate of the Celestial Path, each of them had made significant gains. So after their incarnations returned, they began to plan the amalgamation of the two realms. Not only the strongest, but also cultivators at the seventh and eighth levels of the Spirit Realm, began to seclude themselves to digest the gains of the debate.

But he never thought that in the short span of just thirty years, the time it took for them to go into seclusion, Pei Xuanjing would have made another breakthrough, truly stepping into this realm.

How could this not shock the Master of Mystiq Sky?

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to hold the position of the head of the righteous path in this world!

Indeed, the Sword Sect had always been covetous of their position, and now an unexpected contender, Pei Xuanjing, had emerged. Although he was alone, Pei Xuanjing not only had a deep relationship with various forces, but also possessed formidable personal strength. Even among those at the ninth level of the Spiritual Realm, he ranked at the top.

Adding the Witch Deity Teaching, which cooperates with him, and Dragon Tiger Mountain from the Taoist School with unclear intentions, a respectable force has unknowingly gathered around Pei Xuanjing. It would be surprising if this did not make people nervous.

Even though Pei Xuanjing hasn’t shown anything yet, how could the Master of Mystiq Sky be unprepared?

At this time, the saying ‘one either moves forward or falls back’ holds true. They stand at the peak, facing challengers and enemies.

“Haha, it seems that those of the Mystiq Sky Sect are going to have headaches again. I would love to know what expressions those guys will have when they hear this news.” A strong individual from the Sword Sect, gloating after hearing of Pei Xuanjing’s promotion to become the strongest.

Faced with the same situation, the Sword Sect did not worry as the Master of Mystiq Sky had when they heard of Pei Xuanjing’s promotion. Even if they had intentions to take over the position of the Mystiq Sky Sect, they were not worried about the rise of Pei Xuanjing.

The members of the Sword Sect have never feared competition and openly challenge others. Whether they win or lose, they can accept it.

Instead, the reason why they were dissatisfied with the Mystiq Sky Sect was because they had never openly suppressed the Sword Sect when it rose to power. Instead, they used various means, much to the dissatisfaction of the Sword Sect.

On the contrary, their impression of Pei Xuanjing was very good. After all, judging from what Pei Xuanjing has done and his demonstration of the Sword Dao, they clearly feel that Pei Xuanjing is to the taste of the Sword Sect cultivators and not the kind of person who would resort to dirty tricks.

Therefore, the Sword Sect was not afraid of Pei Xuanjing’s strength. They are even somewhat pleased to see it. After all, what’s increasing is the strength of the human race while also causing discomfort to the Mystiq Sky Sect, they naturally don’t worry.

…

On Dragon Tiger Mountain in the Sky Wasteland, the Ancestor Celestial Master smiled and exclaimed after hearing the news of Pei Xuanjing’s breakthrough upon his retreat, “As expected, he is the bell of Heaven and Earth’s Qi Luck. It seems that the prophecy was not wrong, and there may indeed be a chance for Becoming Immortal in this Great World.”

The Ancestor Celestial Master, who had lived for thousands of years, had become indifferent to many things, even many matters of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and apart from protecting the human race, his heart was focused on the longing for the Immortal Path.
