The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 891: Chapter 841: Life Simulation – An Excellent Tool Person

For Pei Xuanjing, who was undergoing this simulated life, he did not wish to meddle in the so-called struggle for the throne, or the battle for supremacy between sects and the imperial court.

Perhaps, to the numerous powerhouses of this world, those high above, what they were doing was a grand and exhilarating deed with the potential to influence the pattern of heaven and earth.

But for Pei Xuanjing, who had already ascended to True Immortal, undergone a fundamental change in his life essence, and possessed a longevity nearly as enduring as heaven and earth, it was just child’s play.

Indeed, the great cause these people fought desperately for was seen by Pei Xuanjing as nothing more than child’s play, a game among mortals.

A True Immortal would not concern themselves with the squabbles of mortals, just as a tiger would not care about which monkey becomes king of the monkeys.

Not becoming immortal would end in dust; Pei Xuanjing had a deep understanding of this saying. Or it could be said that if any cultivator from the Daming World came to this world, given the opportunity to continue their cultivation and achieve longevity, they would sneer at the conflicts among the powerhouses of this world.

A lifespan of merely five hundred years might seem incredibly lengthy to the ordinary people of this world, but to any cultivator who steps into the Spirit Realm, as long as they possess such a lifespan, and while for the powerhouses of this world five hundred years mark the end, for the cultivators of the Daming World, this is merely the beginning.

This holds true for an average cultivator from the Daming World, let alone Pei Xuanjing, this True Immortal with a lifespan nearly as long as heaven and earth itself.

Regrettably, when Pei Xuanjing had originally planned to quietly cultivate in this world, ignoring worldly matters, aiming to live a stealthy life of longevity, there were always those short-sighted individuals who came stumbling in his way.

But even if Pei Xuanjing initially only wanted to be a detached spectator, when someone attempted to drag him into their schemes, he would absolutely not suffer in silence.

The so-called suffering in silence, enduring silently, is because of lack of sufficient strength, a way to placate oneself. But when one truly possesses enough power, there would hardly be anyone who would choose to suffer in silence.

Harboring a blade in one’s heart, the intent to kill arises on its own.

For those who possess power, their daily suppression of their murderous intent is already a great restraint. When faced with humiliation, it signifies a reason to vent, and they would inevitably strike with ferocity, like thunder.

Pei Xuanjing, as a revered True Immortal, even if his powers were not present at the moment, was not someone that the mere mortals could scheme against; as such, at the very first moment of probing from the person behind the scenes, he gave his response.

His first move in this world was to slay a Martial Artist who had reached the Six-Floor Tower.

The cultivation in this world differs from that of the Daming World. If the cultivation system of the Daming World was considered a profusion of burgeoning systems, then this world has a significant inclination. As of now, the Immortal Path is in decline in this world, while Martial Arts are thriving.

Here, Martial Arts cultivation values the process of changing one’s blood and establishing a foundation, reaching the Twelve-Floor Tower, which corresponds to four major realms: Qi, Dan, Earth, and Heaven.

In Pei Xuanjing’s view, the realm of this Six-Floor Tower is essentially equivalent to the Spirit Realm Third Level of the Daming World, while the extreme realm of the Twelve-Floor Tower is akin to that of the supreme powerhouses of the Daming World.

Although he had not yet faced such powerhouses in combat, based on his slaying of the Six-Floor Tower Martial Artist, and considering the limits of this world, the warriors who reach the extreme realm of the Twelve-Floor Tower should be no weaker than the supreme powerhouses of the Daming World; apart from the constraint of lifespan, there is no other notable difference.

Martial Arts thrive in this world, with Martial Artists emerging in great numbers, yet even so, a Six-Floor Tower Martial Artist is not considered weak. If they are willing, they could serve as a guest of one-sided worlds, become esteemed guests of Princes, and joining the Dynasty could also place them as a commander.

At the time of probing Pei Xuanjing, the death of a Six-Floor Tower Martial Artist came easily and drew the attention of many, because, at this moment in Tiandu, any disturbance could alert all sides. Not to mention the death of a Six-Floor Tower Martial Artist.

However, no one suspected Pei Xuanjing in connection with the death of the Six-Floor Tower Martial Artist, even though it was because this Martial Artist was manipulated to scheme against Pei Xuanjing.

That was because everyone knew that the Seventh Prince’s talent in Martial Arts was not outstanding; instead, he showed considerable aptitude in Taoist Skill, which was underrated due to the decline of Taoist arts in the world.

At first, when Pei Xuanjing’s potential was being assessed, many lamented that the Seventh Prince was born at the wrong time. If it had been the epoch when Taoist Skill flourished, even if of lowly birth and without clan backing, his talent in Taoist Skill would have drawn considerable attention and investment, and he might have had the qualifications to contend for the supreme position.

Of course, even in an era when Martial Arts flourish and Taoist Skill is in decline, when those of the Tao cannot reach the pinnacle, it doesn’t mean that Taoist Skill has vanished entirely. Every force in the world cultivates Taoist practitioners, not only to ensure the continuous transmission of Taoist Skill but also because, compared with Martial Artists, these cultivators have an important role in Formation Techniques.

This world has existed for an unknown duration, and although Taoist Skill has mysteriously decayed, it does not mean that it has been severed. Long-standing forces preserve contingency plans to respond to changes in heaven and earth so that if one day Martial Arts decline and the Immortal Path rises again, they will have a legacy in hand and not be utterly helpless.

Apart from this, there is another crucial reason: the maintenance of Formation Techniques. While it is true that Martial Arts flourish, with Martial Artists wielding tremendous power capable of moving mountains and startling heaven and earth, they can’t compare with Taoist cultivators in the operation and upkeep of formations.

All major forces retain Taoist cultivators as the key custodians and wielders of their force’s formation techniques. The Great Ming Dynasty, dominating the world and ruling alone, naturally does the same.

Compared to the Taoist cultivators nurtured or recruited by the royal family, Pei Xuanjing, a prince by royal birth, showed extraordinary talent in Taoist Skill. While he might not possess heaven-reaching strength in Martial Arts, his presence could also become the key to the royal family’s Formation Technique, which is equally important to the imperial court.

Someone who cannot take part in the imperial struggle, but is of great use to the imperial court, and who, in the future, will not only not pose a threat to the Emperor but can also become an excellent aide to the Emperor—how could such a being not attract the attention of Princes aspiring for the throne?

“Perhaps, to these Princes, my existence is the perfect tool, greatly useful to them,” a cryptic smile formed at the corner of Pei Xuanjing’s mouth.
