The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 760: Chapter 710: Life Simulation – Endless Troubles

The emergence of martial arts can indeed empower these mortals, helping them assist the immortal sects in their fight against demons.

However, if the promotion of martial arts empowers mortals with greater strengths, whether it will impact the status of cultivators is also important. Many cultivators even consider this threat to be greater than that from demons.

In response to this concern, Pei Xuanjing claimed that the ultimate level of martial arts cultivation is merely equivalent to a low-ranking cultivator – equivalent to the threshold it takes an Outer Disciple to become an Inner Disciple, and is therefore negligible for the immortal sects.

This is why, despite Pei Xuanjing grasping even more profound methods of martial arts, he initially only revealed cultivation practices for the Mortal Realm.

Even if he wanted to implement martial arts in this world, he must do it step by step, boiling the frog slowly. If he alarmed the powerful cultivators of the immortal sects right away, he wouldn’t be able to succeed at all.

At 79: This world is abundant in spiritual energy, and ordinary people naturally have robust physiques. They simply haven’t capitalized on these advantages.

When the martial arts were introduced, it was like they found the key to their own treasure. Many people, who lack cultivation spiritual roots but inherently have strong bodies and tend to be enlightening in martial arts, had made rapid progress.

At 81: Perhaps it was because of accumulated benefits and years of nourishment by spiritual energy. Ordinary people who got the methods of cultivation progressed rapidly. Just after three short years, some talented individuals surprisingly managed to reach the Blood Transformation Realm. It was beyond imagination.

Pei Xuanjing, as the propagator of the “Martial Scripture” throughout the world, received reverence from countless mortals—it was no exaggeration to say that everyone knew him.

The emergence of these martial artists drastically reduced the pressure the immortal sect disciples faced from the vast amounts of ordinary demons, allowing them more energy to encircle and suppress the more potent demons.

Martial artists formed teams, joining forces with multiple cities and villages, which could defend their areas. Even when attacked by demons, as long as these demons weren’t overly strong, they could resist, gaining enough time for help to arrive, even if they were disadvantaged.

The more human martial artists there were, the stronger the resistance against demons became. As the dynamic shifted, the threat of demons doesn’t seem as terrifying as anticipated.

At 89: Over a decade passed, the volume of martial artists surged like bamboo shoots after the rain. Ordinary demons were gradually killed by human martial artists and the threat of demons had appeared to wane.

But as the threat of demons seemed to pass, wise members of many immortal sects noticed that their situation did not improve, and it seemed they were facing a new challenge.

The number of martial artists was increasing, and these martial artists who had reached the top level of cultivation posed a considerable force. In close combat, even some medium-level cultivators were caught off guard.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Over the years, in addition to the battles with demons, these mortals—who were previously seen as ants in their eyes—began to pose a threat to ordinary immortal sect disciples after gaining power.

Especially because of certain incidents that led to conflicts between disciples of the immortal sects and secular martial artists, the martial artists eventually realized that they were no longer lowly ants, they now had the strength to challenge the disciples of the immortal sects.

Once a lowly ant acquires potent forces, it will naturally refuse to be slaughtered. Initially, they couldn’t resist the oppression of the disciples of the immortal sect, they were powerless and could only numbly accept reality.

But this moment—after attaining strength—they were not willing to bow easily and began to awaken.

This situation left the wise people of the immortal sects terrified—they almost foresaw the future. If one day these martial artists became even stronger, the immortal sects would lose everything they currently possess, and they would no longer be able to manipulate the mortals as they currently do.

At this time, many powerful cultivators from various immortal sects gathered and headed for the immortal sect, looking for the initiator of it all, Pei Xuanjing—the founder of martial arts in this world.

The arrival of these people was within Pei Xuanjing’s expectations. He knew there wouldn’t be fools in these immortal sects. Once martial arts was spread, and martial artists started appearing, people in the immortal sects would inevitably realize the consequences.

That is why, even though Pei Xuanjing initially mastered even more cultivation methods, the techniques he provided were only up to the peak of the Mortal Realm—powerless against real immortal sect disciples. Hence, these powerful cultivators had permitted the spread of martial arts.

However, even Pei Xuanjing, the promoter, didn’t anticipate the rapid development of martial arts in this world. Incredibly, some martial artists, relying on their talents, had broken through the shackles of the Spirit Realm, which would have been impossible had they not sparred with middle-level disciples of the immortal sects.

Because of this, these people came looking for Pei Xuanjing. However, it was already too late.

Martial arts had been propagated. Initially, in order to deal with demons, many immortal sects had jointly promoted it. The will of many immortal sects was unbreachable; they had spread throughout the human race, used by all humans for cultivation.

Now, even if many immortal sects united to stop the propagation of martial arts, it was impossible.

To truly put a halt to the practice of martial arts, all practicing martial artists would have to be killed. But such actions would be equivalent to eradicating humanity, which no immortal sect dares to suggest.

At 91: Since the spread of martial arts is inevitable, there’s no point in questioning Pei Xuanjing. After all, even if Pei Xuanjing had proposed it in the first place, many immortal sects approved it in the end. Now that the circumstances have come to this, even if some believe Pei Xuanjing’s initial intentions were ill, without proof, they have no right to accuse him, and they can’t even discuss it.

At 93: As the founder of martial arts, the kingdom Pei Xuanjing originated from was the place where martial arts had the greatest effect, since he often demonstrated and lectured there. It was the place with the most martial artists, the most skilled martial artists, and the kingdom had almost become the Holy Land for the practice of martial arts around the Heaven and Earth, with people constantly coming to study and cultivate.

Of course, besides these, the most important thing was the Power of Incense Fire.

For many years, Pei Xuanjing had kept promoting martial arts so any practitioner in the world who practiced martial arts would be grateful to him. As the pioneer of martial arts in this world, he naturally accumulated numerous amounts of the Power of Incense Fire.
