The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 869: Chapter 819: Domineering Bai Qicang, Five Thunder Righteous Law

Three Great Demon Kings besieged Dragon Tiger Mountain, seeking to hinder the Celestial Master’s path to enlightenment.

At that moment, even the Second Generation Celestial Master alone couldn’t match the three Great Demon Kings, and seeing the Ancestor Celestial Master unable to divert his attention elsewhere, during this time of great peril, a sword light cleaved through from millions of miles away.

The divine sword spanned across the sky, instantly summoning countless sword energies, which then fused into one, sweeping across Heaven and Earth with an utterly devastating aura, slashing down from the firmament, capable of shattering space and bisecting the three Great Demon Kings at the waist.

Of course, the three Great Demon Kings were not willing to show weakness, as they unleashed their divine skills with a wave of their hands, with powerful collisions unfolding again and again in the air, the divine skills of the three Great Demon Kings, connected as one, displayed even greater power when combined.

And as the sword energy swept across, even the mere basic cleaving and piercing were blades of supreme slaughter with earth-shattering might.

As the figure drew closer, the sword energy intensified, slicing through space and whirling the currents in all directions.

Boom, boom, boom!

The man who had drawn the sword finally arrived and the instant his figure became visible, the rumbling sounds of thunderbolts resonated, with a vast expanse of thunderbolts surging towards the three Great Demon Kings, like overflowing and uncontrollable river waters.

“Senior Brother!” Joy appeared on the Second Generation Celestial Master’s face, and the worries in his heart completely dissipated.

The newcomer was none other than a disciple of the Ancestor Celestial Master and the Senior Brother of the Second Generation Celestial Master, Bai Qicang, who went missing for countless years and had not long ago returned.

When Bai Qicang made his return, although the Ancestor Celestial Master strictly ordered the Second Generation Celestial Master not to contact him, for the safety of his father’s enlightenment, the Second Generation Celestial Master had no choice but to defy his father’s will, deciding to send cultivators from Dragon Tiger Mountain to search for Bai Qicang and inform him of the Ancestor Celestial Master’s enlightenment, inviting him to return for protection.

Initially believing it unlikely for the other party to return after such a long time and presuming the effort might be in vain, unexpectedly, at this crucial moment, Bai Qicang finally returned.

“Junior Brother, protect our master. Leave these three evil demons to me,” said Bai Qicang in a calm voice that exuded confidence.

To battle three Supreme Strong Demon Kings with the strength of just one person, although it seemed unbelievable, coming from Bai Qicang’s mouth, it felt as if it were only natural, leaving no room for disagreement in one’s mind.

Although the Second Generation Celestial Master had no idea where his Senior Brother’s confidence came from, with him having just returned and in front of so many people, he naturally could not object, but instead silently watched the battlefield, ready to act at any moment.

“You demons dare to leave the Demon Domain, brazenly enter the human race’s domain, and even infiltrate the ancestral court of Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Taoist School – you shall be punished!” Bai Qicang declared with an authoritative look, his Taoist robe fluttering fiercely.

His divine sword was still hidden away, and with hands raised to the sky, thunderbolts converged. It was as if they heard his command, bombarding towards the three Great Demon Kings.

“The Five Thunder Righteous Law of Dragon Tiger Mountain, who would have thought that, aside from the Ancestor Celestial Master, someone else could cultivate this divine skill to the Great Completion Realm, and even carve out a unique path of their own,” Pei Xuanjing spoke as he watched Bai Qicang employ the Thunder Method through the projection.

Pei Xuanjing was, of course, aware of Bai Qicang’s existence, although his knowledge was merely that—awareness. After all, according to the information he had received, this favored disciple of the Ancestor Celestial Master had fallen out with him over an incident, and many years had passed without them meeting. Pei Xuanjing had little interest in such private secrets of others.

Pei Xuanjing was, in fact, more curious about the Thunder Method deployed by the other party, which was the Great Completion of Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Five Thunder Righteous Law, and unlike the Ancestor Celestial Master, he had walked his own path, creating his version of the Five Thunder Righteous Law.

“Five Qi towards the primordial, unstained by a single speck, with the power to purge and cleanse, known as the unblemished. The liver corresponds to the Eastern soul of wood; the lungs to the Western essence of metal; the heart to the Southern deity of fire; the kidneys to the Northern essence of water; the spleen to the central palace of earth. Hence the sage sees not with the eyes yet the soul resides in the liver, hears not with the ears yet the essence stays in the kidneys, tastes not with the tongue yet the spirit dwells in the heart, smells not with the nose yet the soul lives in the lungs, and the limbs move not yet the intent rests in the spleen. Hence it is called the gathering of the Five Thunders,” Wu Shijiu explained as he described the Five Thunder Righteous Law, his gaze upon Pei Xuanjing seemed to bear a hint of inquiry, “I heard that the Five Thunder Righteous Law of Dragon Tiger Mountain is not simply a supreme divine skill of unparalleled striking power, but also a supreme skill with many wonderful utilities.”

Wu Shijiu was likewise curious about these rumors. He knew that Pei Xuanjing had once traversed the Sky Wasteland Domain disguised as an avatar, mingling with many forces. Even though he had never witnessed any of the top core skills, given Pei Xuanjing’s Realm and discernment, a mere touch would reveal at least a rough outline.

“Indeed!” Pei Xuanjing nodded, “This Five Thunder Righteous Law of Dragon Tiger Mountain is different from the Thunder Method of the Shenxiao Sect. In addition to being a divine power, it is also a supreme skill for harmonizing one’s Five Elements to reach the perfect state of the Five Qi towards the primordial. Moreover, these five thunders can also temper one’s body.”

It could be said that although Pei Xuanjing’s Thunder Method from Shenxiao was powerful and he possessed the Innate Divine Thunder from when the Longevity World was formed, when it truly came down to it, his mastery of the Thunder Path was slightly lacking compared to others.

“However, to face three Supreme Strong of the Demon Race alone seems a bit self-aggrandizing, doesn’t it?” Zhu Houji frowned.

He did not deny the strength of Bai Qicang’s earlier display; being able to hold his ground in a one against three fight was sufficient proof of the other’s fearsomeness.

But there is a clear distinction between simply holding one’s ground and actually suppressing the enemy. Bai Qicang seemed self-aggrandizing to think he could suppress the three Great Demon Kings by himself, without the need for the Second Generation Celestial Master to take action.

If Bai Qicang possessed such strength, he would likely already be eligible for ascension to a True Immortal; why then had he not sought seclusion for the ascension?

“Hehe, whether he has it or not, we’ll see soon enough,” Pei Xuanjing smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying Zhu Houji’s comment.

This place was too far from the Domain of Dragon Tiger Mountain, and Pei Xuanjing, who was merely using the Taixu Mirror to watch the other’s moves, wasn’t too clear about Bai Qicang’s true level of power, nor did he know whether Bai Qicang could achieve this feat.

However, if placed in the same situation, Pei Xuanjing felt that even without stepping into the Immortal Path himself, with no reservations and fighting desperately, he was confident in suppressing the three Great Demon Kings, so he did not oppose Bai Qicang’s bold declaration.

Before focusing on Bai Qicang’s actions, Pei Xuanjing’s gaze swept across Wang Boan, who had been silent the entire time, and he thought to himself: Not to speak of whether others could do it, but if this Wang Boan were to ascend to the Strongest Realm and consolidate for a time, he probably would possess such potential.
