The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 911: Chapter 861: Life Simulation – Temple Master Takes Action

Insiders know their own affairs well, and since his own power and that of the Moon Temple Master were nearly equal, if the opponent truly surpassed the Moon Temple Master, it would also mean that he was no match for the opponent.

For a moment, the Star God Palace Master felt his understanding was shattered, unable to comprehend.

However, the Moon Temple Master couldn’t pay attention to the other’s dilemma. She said, “I will go into seclusion to heal my wounds now. As soon as the Lord of Gods leaves seclusion, make sure to inform me immediately. This matter is of great importance and might affect our plans.”

As she spoke, a hint of worry appeared between the Moon Temple Master’s brows. After all, just as she had said before, that sub-temple was very important, related to the plan of the Star Moon Temple.

The Moon Temple Master immediately returned to her Moon God Palace to heal her wounds in seclusion. Even though Pei Xuanjing had only made a slight move, the sword energy had left her not lightly injured. Fearing ambush on her way back, she dared not stop to heal, and it was only after truly returning to the Star Moon Temple that she let down her guard to heal in seclusion.

Even though it was merely a casual release of sword energy from Pei Xuanjing, given Pei Xuanjing’s Sword Tao Realm, it was an extremely terrifying existence that even the Moon Temple Master, who stood at the very peak of the Martial Arts twelve-floor tower in this realm, found hard to easily dispel.

...

She even had to feel fortunate that Pei Xuanjing had not hastily ascended the Immortal Path in this realm. Otherwise, the sword energy wielded with magical power would have left her not just with the matter of expulsion but whether she could survive at all.

Nevertheless, with the help of the special cultivation treasures within the Moon Temple and the aid of the Star God Palace Master, it took her only one month to eradicate the sword energy within her body.

And, coincidentally, after exactly one month, the Supreme Deity of the Star Moon Temple emerged from seclusion. Surprised upon hearing of the Moon Temple Master’s injuries, he immediately sent someone to report the recent events to him before the Moon Temple Master emerged from seclusion.

However, he was also aware that the specific details would require the personal experience of the Moon Temple Master to describe. Therefore, after the Moon Temple Master emerged from seclusion, the Temple Master, Moon Temple Master, and Star God Palace Master—the three individuals with the greatest power in the Star Moon Temple gathered together to discuss the next steps.

“So it seems that this Seventh Prince might very well become a major enemy in our Star Moon Temple’s plans!” the Star God Palace Master said slowly with tightly furrowed brows.

The fief of this prince was not simple; one of the matters concerning their grand plan of the Star Moon Temple lay within his fief, which was why they established such an important sub-temple in a region that was evidently uncontrolled.

Originally, they thought that after cooperating with the Emperor and with his nominal help, they could easily expand their influence into that region and control it, then commence their plan.

But now the surprising rise of this prince had completely disrupted their plans, not only did they become adversaries, but their sub-temple was also occupied, and their influence there was wholly eradicated.

“A powerhouse whose strength might not be inferior to the Temple Master’s. Yet it was rumored that his talent in martial arts was not exceptional, even quite ordinary. How could he possibly achieve such a realm in such a short period of time?” the Temple Master slightly furrowed his brow, recalling the intelligence on Pei Xuanjing.

While martial arts cultivation did not require as long a time as the Immortal Path in ancient times, even those with exceptional talent would need sixty years to enter the twelve-floor tower realm in martial arts. Even he, with extraordinary talent, had only entered that realm at the age of over sixty.

Therefore, setting aside that the Seventh Prince was rumored to have average martial arts talent, even if his talent was exceptional, he shouldn’t have such a rapid cultivation speed. As this idea emerged, a bold conjecture arose in the Temple Master’s heart, which was that the Seventh Prince might have acquired ancient heritage. Otherwise, it could not be explained.

Times change, and while martial arts may flourish and the Immortal Path wanes today, it doesn’t mean that items from the Immortal Path are useless. In the heyday of the Ancient Immortal Path, there were all kinds of God Objects. The Temple Master himself knew of several that could transform one’s cultivation aptitude and raise one’s cultivation realm.

If the Seventh Prince had obtained these items, then it might not be impossible for him to reach such a realm, and it could also explain why the guards under his command had such power.

“If this is the case, it raises the question of which Ancient Immortal Path sect’s heritage the Seventh Prince has acquired,” the Temple Master shared his speculation, to which the Moon Temple Master frowned and said, “Could it be that he has already discovered it?”

Though the Moon Temple Master had not yet finished her sentence, the other two understood her meaning. She was suggesting that perhaps Pei Xuanjing had found the heritage within his fief, the very thing the Star Moon Temple long coveted. After all, his extensive construction activities over the years might have led to some discovery.

Upon hearing this, both the Temple Master and Star God Palace Master’s expressions changed, but soon the Temple Master dismissed the possibility. He shook his head and said, “All of this doesn’t add up. According to the information I’ve obtained, the heritage we seek does not contain these God Objects. He likely hasn’t discovered it.”

Indeed, the Star Moon Temple’s interest in Pei Xuanjing’s fief ultimately stemmed from their knowledge that his fief contained a complete heritage left by an ancient Immortal Path sect, vital to the Star Moon Temple. That’s why they invested so heavily there, aiming for that heritage. But they didn’t expect an anomaly, with Pei Xuanjing not only blocking their control of that region but also seizing the tavern they had established.

To understand that tavern was crucial—its construction came at no small cost, and for the Star Moon Temple to build a similar one, not to mention the cost issue, it would be difficult to find a more suitable location for selection.

However, the good news for them now was that the Seventh Prince apparently had yet to discover that particular heritage. They still had enough time to prepare, at least not to the point of losing everything at the last moment.

With this in mind, the Temple Master immediately made a decision, “You go to the Emperor and tell him not to delay any further. We shall first eliminate the Ji Fang Alliances, then deal with the Seventh Prince.”

“However, before that, I need to meet him personally!” A strange light flashed in the Temple Master’s eyes.

“Lord of Gods!” The Moon Temple Master and Star God Palace Master’s expressions shifted slightly upon hearing this, especially the Moon Temple Master, who advised, “Lord of Gods, your divine powers are not yet fully realized, and the Seventh Prince has shown himself to be exceedingly strong. Caution is warranted.”

“No need, I am confident!” the Temple Master said assuredly.
