The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 757: Chapter 707: Life Simulation – Demon Suppression

During his odd decades in this world, Pei Xuanjing, who although initially explored a multitude of techniques, truly based his cultivation and amalgamated everything into his own Golden Core Dao.

As for the enhancement of strength, it was quite effortless for Pei Xuanjing, as his cultivation realm was still there. If he was willing, he could regather his strength anytime and reach the pinnacle level of this world.

Yet, such methods held no meaning for Pei Xuanjing. Thus, he wasn’t eager to enhance his power. He chose instead to learn the cultivation methods of this world, to nourish hundreds of canons, enhance his Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill, and provide extra nourishment for his Golden Core Dao.

At 31: During the three years after Pei Xuanjing’s promotion to true disciple status, he went through all the techniques in the Retreat of the Immortal Sect that were within his permissions and found the ancient scripture “The Art of War.”

After digesting all these cultivation methods, he then requested to leave the immortal sect and maintain law and order in his jurisdiction.

After contemplation, the elders of the immortal sect granted his request. After all, it is understandable for the disciples of the immortal sect to manage a region, and Pei Xuanjing, the heir of the true teachings, was no exception.

Thus, for the first time, after about twenty years, Pei Xuanjing left the immortal sect.

At 32: Pei Xuanjing arrived at his jurisdiction. As the highest ruler of this region, he did not start exerting authoritarian actions. For him, there was no need, because in this world ruled by the Immortal Sect, the strong naturally possess everything. As a chosen disciple of the immortal sect, his authority was undeniable to others.

Having control over this region, no one could restrain Pei Xuanjing. He dedicated himself to practicing and observing the mortals of this world.

During this period, Pei Xuanjing managed to decipher the ancient scripture of “The Art of War,” gaining a comprehensive understanding of the technique.

“The Art of War” was a skill derived from ancient emperors deciphering the Profound Meaning of the Heavens from the Heavenly Sacrificial Decree. Once mastered, it would possess the power to vanquish all evils, maintain righteousness, suppress mountains and rivers, and allegedly the realm to command stars and enthrone gods.

This was possible only because Pei Xuanjing was highly insightful. Otherwise, ordinary cultivators who acquired this skill couldn’t comprehend the profound methods.

However, the current version of “The Art of War” in Pei Xuanjing’s hands was incomplete; he only had a fragment of it.

Such a profound technique, even if fragmentary, should not be seen in the Cultivation methods pavilion, let alone in the immortal sect’s pavilion.

According to Pei Xuanjing’s understanding, “The Art of War” should be the ultimate method for a human monarch, so how could its fragment appear in the Immortal Sect?

Coupled with the absolute authority of the Immortal Sect in this world, with ancient kingdoms and dynasties not possessing a noticeable existence like the Great Ming dynasty, this was thought-provoking.

It appeared that this world was not as simple as Pei Xuanjing initially thought, there were many secrets he hadn’t discovered yet.

At 36: Pei Xuanjing’s understanding about “The Art of War” and its profound origins made him realize that this world was more complex than he initially thought. Thus, he spent his time exploring many things, especially the history of the Immortal Sect.

With Pei Xuanjing’s current realm and strength, he was capable enough to gather many interesting pieces of information, yielding significant insights.

According to fragmentary clues Pei Xuanjing acquired, he discovered that the world’s history was not really as known to the public. The world was not initially ruled by the Immortal Sect. In the era when the Immortal Sect had not reached its peak, there were imperial dynasties.

Although it was just fragmented clues, Pei Xuanjing was still able to put together a rudimentary picture of the world’s history and had a bold hypothesis.

The original state of this world might not have been this way. The development of the human race from tribes to feudal dynasties should have been inevitable, and “The Art of War,” a technique of this kind, was born during this period. At that time, the Immortal Sect was perhaps just a force under the command of the human emperor.

However, something happened for unknown reasons and the Immortal Sect rose, replacing the existing dynasties, burying this segment of history, scattering “The Art of War” into pieces, erasing all traces so that it would not be known to the public.

…

Of course, all of this was a mere conjecture by Pei Xuanjing. The evidence at his disposal was still insufficient to validate this theory.

Regardless, such a bold hypothesis, if leaked, would evoke shock and astonishment amongst the cultivators and Pei Xuanjing might be perceived as a heretic, a madman of the Immortal Sect.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hence, despite such a hypothesis, Pei Xuanjing had not told anyone about it. He temporarily suppressed the idea and continued to gather more evidence.

At 41: After a period of cultivation, Pei Xuanjing’s strength had escalated further, reaching an unfathomable level. Although it still fell short compared to his original state in the Great Ming World, he was definitely able to traverse this Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, news about the emergence of demons reached Pei Xuanjing. He immediately put aside his affairs and began sending people to track down these demons.

About the origin of these demons, even after going through several scriptures of the Immortal Sect, Pei Xuanjing was still not clear. He only knew that these demons had been present since ancient times, their origins were unknown and they occasionally wreaked havoc, posing threats to all beings. The duty and responsibility of the Immortal Sect disciples was to capture and exterminate these demons, protect mortal people and earn their respect.

Pei Xuanjing was now curious about these demons. He was keen to understand what these demons truly were. After all, there were indications that these demons, who had persisted for countless years without becoming too powerful or causing harm within limits, would start spreading and escalating in the next few decades, even invading the entire Heaven and Earth.

So at this moment, whether to prepare in advance or prevent it before it happens, Pei Xuanjing felt the need to investigate first.
