The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 836: Chapter 786 Someone Can’t Wait Anymore

“The merging of the two Realms is imminent, Bai Xiaosheng, what brings you here at this time?” Pei Xuanjing’s gaze fixed on Bai Xiaosheng.

Given the information in Bai Xiaosheng’s hands, it was impossible for him not to be aware of the current situation, and his timing suggested a definite purpose.

Pei Xuanjing had been keeping an eye on many things in Heaven and Earth, and although he had gained quite a bit of news through various forces and avatars traveling between Heaven and Earth, he was still unclear about some of the more secretive matters. After all, apart from his own considerable power, his time in cultivation, as well as his network of friends, were quite limited, lacking certain channels of information.

But Bai Xiaosheng was different; the intelligence system he operated was incredibly powerful. With his character, he must have certainly infiltrated all sorts of powers over the years. Moreover, despite being less powerful, he had an extraordinary talent in divining the Heavenly Mysteries due to his cultivation of the Heavenly Mystery Dao.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, “I am here precisely because of the matter of the merging of the two Realms.”

The initiative of merging the two Realms was initially driven by the people of the Sky Wasteland, but in the Great Ming World, the earliest propaganda was spread by Bai Xiaosheng’s own agents. Otherwise, even with continuous news coming from Sky Wasteland, there would have been a time lag, and the spread would not have been so rapid.

Indeed, Bai Xiaosheng could be considered one of the masterminds behind this plan. Of course, Pei Xuanjing was aware of this, so with Bai Xiaosheng behind the pushing of this very matter now at its critical stage, why would he come to seek Pei Xuanjing?

Could it be that there was a hidden secret unknown to him, something significant that he had overlooked? Pei Xuanjing contemplated in his heart.

Even the wisest might overlook something, and Pei Xuanjing was certainly not one of those unparalleled strategists, merely an ordinary man. Even the wisest have their oversights; it was only natural that he, too, could not cover every aspect in dealing with many matters.

Therefore, when Bai Xiaosheng mentioned this issue, Pei Xuanjing naturally assumed he had missed something important, and he was not surprised by it.

Seeing Pei Xuanjing’s look, Bai Xiaosheng remained composed. He said, “This time, the merging of the two Realms is driven by many Supreme Strong beings. The core reason is that they believe the lack of a True Immortal for all these thousands of years is due to Heaven and Earth’s bindings, hindering the birth of True Immortals. So, they intend to elevate the World to break these restraints and thereafter give birth to True Immortals.”

“Indeed, I am quite certain of this; perhaps I wasn’t clear before, but rest assured, once I’ve broken through, I will have no doubts,” Pei Xuanjing nodded.

If at the beginning, on Shenxiao Mountain, Pei Xuanjing could not be sure because his battle power was augmented by external support and his Realm was only at the Eighth Level of the Spiritual Realm, then after his current life simulation is complete and he makes a breakthrough to the Nine Layers Realm, he would truly be assured. Regardless of other factors, one thing he could confirm was that Heaven and Earth did indeed bind those at the pinnacle of the Ninth Realm of Spirit.

Just as he and Wu Shijiu had said before, those at the very peak of the Ninth Realm of Spirit had reached a state as high as Heaven itself, bound by Heaven and Earth. Only a few overlord powerhouses among those were able to temporarily break through these bindings and deploy greater power.

“I am, of course, certain of this as well. With the National Preceptor having ascended to being one of the strongest, there should be no problem with his affirmation,” Bai Xiaosheng said, his feelings quite complex. Initially, when Pei Xuanjing had not yet risen, Bai Xiaosheng saw him as a junior.

However, Pei Xuanjing’s rapid ascendancy later made him equal in standing, and even surpassing them. Back then, Bai Xiaosheng still deemed himself capable of catching up, but now Pei Xuanjing had reached the pinnacle of his Spiritual Realm cultivation, starting to peer into the legendary undying Realm of the True Immortal, a height Bai Xiaosheng could not hope to reach.

Even now, as Bai Xiaosheng had stepped into the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm through cultivating the Path of Heavenly Secrets, he was not overly confident about his future cultivation steps. He knew that at the Eighth Level, he would have to confront Master Tianji—a formidable figure in the Path of Heavenly Secrets. This was the most crucial step in his cultivation: success would lead to a meteoric rise, while failure could mean death and the dissipation of his Tao.

These thoughts flashed through Bai Xiaosheng’s mind momentarily. No matter how threatening the path ahead might be, he needed to face it. At the moment, he at least had to strengthen himself, otherwise he wouldn’t even have the qualifications to face Master Tianji directly.

Suppressing his thoughts, he looked at Pei Xuanjing and asked, “According to those Supreme Strong ones, do they intend to seek the means to break through to the True Immortal only after Heaven and Earth have ascended?”

“Yes, indeed. Shallow waters cannot raise a True Dragon. Only after the ascension of Heaven and Earth will there be a chance for a breakthrough to True Immortal,” Pei Xuanjing nodded. There was no doubt in his words; without the ascension of the World, the birth of a True Immortal was difficult.

“But what if someone wants to take advantage of Heaven and Earth’s ascension to achieve a breakthrough to True Immortal?” Bai Xiaosheng’s words, light as they were, sounded like thunder in Pei Xuanjing’s ears.

Pei Xuanjing, previously looking quite relaxed, lost his smile and furrowed his brows tightly. “Bai Brother, is this true or false? Do you understand what this represents?”

To think that someone wanted to attempt a breakthrough to True Immortal during Heaven and Earth’s ascension was nothing short of madness.

Pei Xuanjing was also aware that even after Heaven and Earth’s ascension, although the opportunity to ascend to True Immortal might appear, it wasn’t certain who would succeed or fail. Furthermore, it was unclear how many True Immortals the ascended World could accommodate. But all those discussions should have taken place after the actual ascension, not before.

But Pei Xuanjing never expected that someone would be so bold as to contemplate ascension alongside Heaven and Earth.@@novelbin@@

Though Heaven and Earth would be elevated if they did ascend, it was still uncertain whether success in becoming a True Immortal could be achieved. A premature attempt, if unsuccessful, could exact a tremendous toll.

“I am, of course, aware of this,” Bai Xiaosheng said solemnly. “I also understand the enormous risks involved, but there are equally vast rewards. The first True Immortal in thousands of years, what a title that is, and countless Qi Yun added on top. And for those with great ambition, it is not impossible to use this chance to unify Heaven and Earth.”

Indeed, such a breakthrough at this moment carried great risks, but it also promised substantial rewards. If successful, the gains would be enormous. Not to mention the fame and Qi Luck of being the first True Immortal of the World, and once someone becomes a unique True Immortal, an ambitious individual could suppress their rivals and reign supreme over Heaven and Earth.
