The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 494: 442: Bo Yi Bloodline, Originating from Pre-Qin

Zhu Houji saw Pei Xuanjing appear before his eyes, not knowing when he’d arrived. The moment he saw Pei Xuanjing, Zhu Houji’s nervousness instantly dissipated.

“Isn’t your move a bit excessive?” Pei Xuanjing’s face turned a little cold, addressing the silver-armored youth before him.

The youth was indeed extraordinary. As he made his move, Pei Xuanjing had already felt his power—it was at the Spirit Realm Sixth Level.

Even if Zhu Houji at this moment had the blessing of Heaven’s Will and the power of the Imperial Jade Seal, he would still find it difficult to resist such a formidable adversary.

“So you’re Pei Xuanjing?” The silver-armored youth said, his eyes showing a hint of surprise as Pei Xuanjing made his move.

Even though he had only casually struck, his blow was not something just anyone could easily resist—especially with such indifference. It was clear that the youth was very skilled.

Based on the information he’d gathered, there might only be a few at the Fifth Order in this world that could match him—like the national master of the Great Ming, Pei Xuanjing.

Pei Xuanjing’s expression didn’t change, and he didn’t respond to the youth’s words.

The youth didn’t seem to care, continuing on his own: “I am Ying Zhong, the Prince of the ancient Jiang Country in the Sky Wasteland. Seeing your strength, why not serve under me. How about it?”

The Silver-armored youth, Ying Zhong, princely of the ancient Jiang Country, said arrogantly, as if having Pei Xuanjing serve under him was a generous offer, a great honor for Pei Xuanjing.

As members of ancient clans, the attitudes of Xue Hanyi and Ying Zhong were almost identical. Only Ying Zhong was even more arrogant and conceited than Xue Hanyi.

After all, Xue Hanyi was merely a cultivator at the Spirit Realm Third Level, despite being hailed as a genius. His position in the ancient Da Xue was not high, and he only had some vanity titles.

But Ying Zhong was different. As a Great Cultivator in the Spirit Realm Sixth Level, even among the long-established and powerful entities of Jiang Country, he played a pivotal role. A direct descendant of the Jiang royal family and appointed as a Prince, his arrogance was incomparable to Xue Hanyi’s.

“Arrogant!” Pei Xuanjing let out a cold snort.

Even with his temperament, he felt a tinge of anger at Ying Zhong’s attitude. Such a high and mighty person made him uncomfortable.

Given Pei Xuanjing’s current strength, it is impossible for anyone below the Spirit Realm Seventh Level to easily defeat him, unless they are a cultivator proficient in three different arts.

Just a Spirit Realm Sixth Level cultivator like the other party, what qualifications did he have to speak to him in this way? If it was their country’s ruler, perhaps they might have a bit of qualification.

Ying Zhong didn’t get angry at Pei Xuanjing’s attitude. His arrogant voice stated, “Perhaps you, being in the ancestral lands, are unaware. My Jiang Country has a long lineage; we are descendants of Emperor Zhuanxu and one of the vassal states anointed by Heavenly Zhou…”

His words were cut off by a voice, filled with derision: “The lineage from Bo Yi, although once enfeoffed as nobles in Tian Zhou, was later wiped out by the Great Chu Dynasty. If not for the mercy of the master from Pre-Qin out of shared roots, Jiang Country would have long been annihilated. Where would the present Jiang Country have come from?”

The speaker was the mysterious Mr. Wu, who explained some of Jiang’s history for Pei Xuanjing.

Pei Xuanjing’s eyebrows twitched upon hearing this, a hint of scoffing arose at the corners of his mouth.

“Impudent!”

“Seeking death!”

The black-armored guards were immediately outraged and reprimanded loudly.

“No harm, these are well-known facts, there’s no need to be afraid of mentioning them.”

Even though some unpleasant past events were mentioned, Ying Zhong didn’t get angry, “What does it matter? Doesn’t this prove the long lineage and deep accumulation of my Jiang Country? Not only is our bloodline noble, but our branch lines are also strong.”

They were descendants of the ancient Emperor Zhuanxu. Their own branch was an ancient country, and another branch had given rise to the powerful Divine Dynasty. Such a glorious history was a proud matter for sure.

However, despite his words, his gaze involuntarily moved from Pei Xuanjing to Mr. Wu, who had spoken.

Who is this man who knows so much about my Jiang Country’s history? Ying Zhong frowned as he examined Mr. Wu’s face, searching his memory for any recollection of such a person.

The history of their Jiang Country, even if someone wanted to know, required certain qualifications. And anyone with the audacity to bring it up in his presence couldn’t be a pushover.

As for Mr. Wu’s apparent Spirit Realm Third Level strength, Ying Zhong didn’t take it seriously. If he really was only this powerful, he wouldn’t know these things much less dare to assert them so openly.

As he observed Mr. Wu, when his gaze fell on the small black snake coiled around his arm, he cried out in surprise: “You’re with the Witch Deity Teaching!”

Of course, only someone from there would dare behave so audaciously.

Mr. Wu just smiled and didn’t answer, neither confirming nor denying this remark.

A flicker of apprehension appeared in Ying Zhong’s eyes. Seeing that Mr. Wu was no longer speaking, he knew his origin and didn’t ask any more questions, knowing to stop while he was ahead.

“Is the Witch Deity Teaching involved in today’s events?” Ying Zhong asked in a deep voice.

Based on his position, there was no doubt that he had participated in the succession of the Divine Dynasty. If he truly represented the Witch Deity Teaching, then Ying Zhong would need to reconsider.

The Golden Book and Jade Scroll were divine artifacts of Heaven and Earth. If he could seize them and benefit from the immense Qi Luck within them, perhaps the ancient Jiang Country could break its limits, step into the ranks of top-tier powers, and transform into an imperial dynasty.

This temptation was too great for Ying Zhong to simply give up. After all, if he could pull off this feat, he would certainly be rewarded by the ruler. Not to mention advancing to the Spirit Realm Seventh Level, even his ancestor may personally instruct him, and he may even have a chance to compete for the position of Crown Prince in the future.

However, among the top powers of the Sky Wasteland, the Witch Deity Teaching was undoubtedly the most mysterious.

As descendants of the long-established Jiang Country, they were particularly aware of how terrifying the ancient and mysterious Witch Deity Teaching could be. Ying Zhong was absolutely unwilling to mess with them or hold grudges against them lightly.

For a moment, Ying Zhong’s heart was in a tumult, fearing that he would get an unpleasant answer.

Mr. Wu flashed a bit of a smile and was about to speak when Pei Xuanjing suddenly raised his hand to stop him.

A cold gleam appeared in Pei Xuanjing’s eyes: “This matter has nothing to do with him. If you want it, just go ahead and make your move!”

He didn’t want to use the prestige of the Witch Deity Teaching to handle this matter. After the ascension to the Divine Dynasty, they would have to face similar problems continuously. They couldn’t always rely on the Witch Deity Teaching’s reputation.

Moreover, even if others didn’t know, Pei Xuanjing had been wary of the mysterious top power, the Witch Deity Teaching.
