The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 910: Chapter 860: Life Simulation – Moon God Blade, This Person’s Power is Above Mine

“`

The life or death of the defeated Moon Temple Master was unimportant to Pei Xuanjing; if he wanted to, he could execute the other party at any moment. In his eyes, the value of the fallen Moon God Blade was even greater than that of the other party.

Allowing the Moon Temple Master to leave was the perfect opportunity to draw out the mysterious master of the Star Moon Temple. Since this inn was so important to the Star Moon Temple, keeping the Moon Temple Master around was like bait, ensuring a steady stream of people from the Star Moon Temple would come.

Without any need for Pei Xuanjing’s signal, as soon as the Moon Temple Master had left, a guard picked up the Moon God Blade that had fallen to the ground and presented it respectfully to Pei Xuanjing.

Pei Xuanjing glanced over but didn’t hurry. He instructed the others, “Clear out all the forces of the Star Moon Temple, then investigate why the Star Moon Temple values this branch so highly.”

“Yes, Your Highness!” A guard immediately took the command and left.

...

The influence of the Star Moon Temple was indeed significant, and there were many powerhouses among them in this branch. However, when Pei Xuanjing decided to expel their forces, without a Martial Arts Twelfth Floor expert present, they had no choice but to be effortlessly driven out.

Although the Mystical Land of Blessings Pei Xuanjing envisioned still required constant refinement, the basic facilities had already been constructed, especially the important buildings like the Royal Mansion, which had long been repaired and refurbished.

And within the newly constructed Royal Mansion, Pei Xuanjing was examining the pair of divine weapons, the Moon God Blades, that were the legacy of the Star Moon Temple.

Even without being activated, just having these Moon God Blades on display was an extraordinary presence. Not to mention their splendid design, the chilling gleam on the blades alone indicated that these were no ordinary items.

Of course, with Pei Xuanjing’s discerning eye, having seen many top-tier divine weapon treasures, a mere pair of Moon God Blades, though exceptional, really wasn’t worth his attention unless they transformed into Immortal Artifacts.

Pei Xuanjing had kept the Moon God Blades not for the sake of the divine weapons themselves but because he noticed that the method of their forging was particularly special and uncommon.

“The forging method of this Moon God Blade includes not only the technique for creating divine weapons but also incorporates many Immortal Path runes and exquisite etchings?” A hint of surprise flickered in Pei Xuanjing’s eyes.

At his Realm, once one method was understood, myriad laws became clear. Even if he had not yet learned the craft, his theoretical knowledge on artifact refinement was considerably profound, despite any lack of perfection in the actual operation.

Having spent decades in this Heaven and Earth, he had some understanding of the divine weapon forging methods of this World. At least to his knowledge, the method used for these Moon God Blades was peculiar, likely belonging to the era when the Immortal Path was still thriving, not to the contemporary techniques.

According to the information Pei Xuanjing had gathered, the Star Moon Temple, despite being a time-honored force, seemed to have risen after the heyday of Martial Arts, not stretching back to the prime time of the Immortal Path.

If it were just an ordinary divine weapon, it might have been acceptable, as chances are there for accidental acquisitions. However, the Moon God Blades fit so perfectly with the practice skill of the Moon Temple Master, which was not a simple matter. It implied that the origins of the Star Moon Temple were not ordinary, perhaps not as simple as he had understood them to be.

As Pei Xuanjing was pondering the origins of the Star Moon Temple, the injured Moon Temple Master had escaped from his fief and returned to the main hall of the Star Moon Temple.

“You’re injured, who hurt you?” The instant he saw the arrival of the Moon Temple Master, the Star God Palace Master’s expression changed as he hurriedly moved forward to ask.

The Star God Palace Master was a middle-aged man who knew something about the purpose of the Moon Temple Master’s outward journey. He believed that with her power, there should be no danger, and success was guaranteed.

Now seeing the Moon Temple Master wounded, his first thought was that news of her outing had leaked, leading to a joint ambush by the Ji Fang Alliances’ powerhouses.

“Has the Lord of Gods left seclusion? I need to see the Lord of Gods,” the Moon Temple Master said directly with furrowed brows, not answering the Star God Palace Master’s question.

She urgently wanted to see the master of the Star Moon Temple and tell him everything about her encounter in the fief of the Seventh Prince so that he could make a decision.

On her way back, the Moon Temple Master had carefully reviewed everything that happened. The more she pondered, the greater her fear became, deepening her terror of the Seventh Prince.

Besides the power previously displayed, the terrifying force shown in the inn made the Moon Temple Master feel, after some thought, that it was not inferior to her own Lord of Gods.

For someone with such formidable power and influence to have kept to the shadows for so many years, only to reveal themselves today — ignoring everything else — the depth of cunning and patience alone terrified the Moon Temple Master.

Now, upon reflection, she realized that her ability to leave might not only be due to her own power but likely also because the other party had allowed her to escape.

“But why would he just let me go? Out of fear, or does he have some other schemes?” Anxiety churned in the heart of the Moon Temple Master.

The Moon Temple Master was usually a very calm and wise person, but everything about her encounter with Pei Xuanjing was too mysterious and kept her unsettled for a long time, impeding her ability to wield her usual wisdom.

“The Lord of Gods is still in seclusion but should be out soon,” the Star God Palace Master told the Moon Temple Master, and after finishing his words, he asked, “Exactly who hurt you? Was it someone from Tianwu Pavilion or Qingyun Path, or did the Wuji Sect take action?”

The Moon Temple Master shook her head, “It was the Seventh Prince.”

“Him?” The Star God Palace Master was surprised and puzzled, “Does he really have mysterious powerhouses supporting him? Was it a combined ambush when you showed up this time?”

There had been rumors of the Seventh Prince having mysterious strong backers, and seeing the Moon Temple Master injured now undoubtedly made the Star God Palace Master believe this to be true.

“It was the Seventh Prince!” Seeing the Star God Palace Master’s misunderstanding, the Moon Temple Master clarified, “The Seventh Prince is no simple man; he must have stepped into the Martial Arts Twelfth Floor. Judging from our Hand in Hand, he should be more powerful than me!”

Hisss!

The Star God Palace Master was shocked, his eyes filled with incredulity. What was he hearing? The Seventh Prince, who had been rumored to lack Martial Arts Talent, was actually not to be trifled with? He had reached the Martial Arts Twelfth Floor, and his power surpassed even that of the Moon Temple Master himself.
