The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 625: Chapter 575: Confluence of Three Parties

“Exactly!”

Zhao Baiyang lets out a sigh and speaks.

When he first met him in the Wild Mountain Ancient Temple, he thought Pei Xuanjing would be a good opponent, someone who’d accompany him on his future cultivation journey as a Taoist friend.

However, the growth shown by Pei Xuanjing exceeded his expectations. The other man’s cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, ascending rapidly.

Even today, while he still considered Pei Xuanjing as a friend in the path of Tao, he knew that he was no longer a match for him.

In the decades they’d been apart, despite his own power progressing significantly, and even gaining an undefeated strength against the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm, the gap between him and Pei Xuanjing was still significant.

Thirty years ago, Pei Xuanjing’s display of power had already shocked all the Heroes. Just by manifesting himself through spiritual consciousness, he was able to suppress cultivators of the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm. The disparity between them was clear.

“What a being! Truly a celestial person descended to earth!” A complex emotion flickers in Zi Tianxiong’s eyes.

When he first heard of Pei Xuanjing, the latter was still a rising name on the run from the Great Ming Empire. Zi Tianxiong considered him a recently emerged peer, and while Pei Xuanjing did exhibit some abilities, Zi Tianxiong did not take him seriously.

Everything that transpired later, however, left Zi Tianxiong astounded. Pei Xuanjing’s meteoric rise saw him reach Zi Tianxiong’s level and ultimately surpass him, reaching heights that were hard to match.

Hence, Zi Tianxiong had to admit: when the goods are compared, the inferior goods are thrown away. Even though he was a hero of his time, compared to Pei Xuanjing, he was barely worth mentioning.

Tie Qianshan answers with a light smile, “We always say that because of the constraints of Heaven and Earth, we were unable to pursue our cultivation journey continuously, delaying the optimal time for cultivating. We believe we are nothing less compared to most of the strong ones in Sky Wasteland, and it’s just bad luck that keeps us from stepping up.”

“However, this revival of Heaven and Earth has also compensated for our time. Being able to personally experience the revival process, isn’t it a kind of compensation for us?” Tie Qianshan wondered aloud, “After the revival of Heaven and Earth is complete, how far can we go on our own, can we really support those behind us?’

At his words, the two become silent, immediately understanding why Tie Qianshan’s attitude has changed so drastically.

Indeed, at the beginning, when Heaven and Earth hadn’t revived, these local powerhouses were constrained by them, stuck at the peak of Mortal Realm and unable to break into the Spirit Realm, making it a huge regret.

But didn’t this constraint also grant them a chance? It allowed them to lay solid foundations and accumulate power for future cultivation breakthroughs.

Especially when Heaven and Earth began to revive. Although the intensity of the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi couldn’t match that of Sky Wasteland at first, the gradual manifestation of the Ultimate Principles and Laws during the revival provided an optimal opportunity for cultivation – an experience the cultivators of Sky Wasteland could never have. This was also a form of compensation for them.

This opportunity allowed them to make rapid progress, covering in decades the distance that cultivators from Sky Wasteland would need hundreds or even thousands of years to cross, and to reach the Spirit Realm Sixth Level in such a short time.

Thus, it’s hard to describe whether the initial constraints of Heaven and Earth were good or bad.

However, now that Heaven and Earth had fully revived, and the external manifestation of the ultimate principles and laws were gradually hidden, the boosts they received for their cultivation began to disappear.

From now on, their cultivation progress would be the same as other cultivators in the Sky Wasteland; without a significant opportunity, they could only rely on their own efforts and painstaking cultivation.

The Seventh Level of Spiritual Realm was one hurdle which had stopped numerous great heroes. Even though they had advanced to the Spirit Realm Sixth Level with the aid of the revival of Heaven and Earth, Tie Qianshan knew that it wouldn’t be easy for him to advance to the Spirit Realm Seventh Level. Without special opportunities, it might take a very long time for him to make further progress.

If it were any other time, him having the current realm and strength would already be considered as fortunate. But it’s not the right time now. They weren’t alone; there were countless people relying on them for protection.

With numerous Sky Wasteland forces returning, conflicts would inevitably arise unless they’re willing to give up everything they have now.

Zhao Baiyang felt tremendous pressure and difficulty in supporting everything by himself, but wasn’t the same true for Tie Qianshan?

He’d already had a rough idea before coming to see Zhao Baiyang. So when Zhao Baiyang proposed this suggestion, Tie Qianshan accepted without hesitation.

“In this case, if I continue to hesitate, I’ll seem indecisive.” Zi Tianxiong laughs and speaks up from the side.

Tie Qianshan’s words had been clear: the present situation was that they would benefit from union, but if they went their separate ways, they would all fight alone and sooner or later be targeted by other forces.

So since Tie Qianshan had agreed, he, of course, wouldn’t continue to hesitate, but decisively made up his mind.

“Rest assured, the two of you. If you join the Underworld Alliance, all matters within the alliance will be discussed collectively. I am not someone who doesn’t listen to opinions.” Zhao Baiyang assures them with a smile.

As both of them agreed without requiring Zhao Baiyang to waste too many words, or present the lavish terms he had prepared for them, it didn’t mean that he considered everything as being granted and didn’t mention his prepared terms.

Instead, to demonstrate his sincerity and attitude, he proactively explained his previously planned course of action, enabling them to state their demands. As long as they weren’t excessive, he was willing to agree instantly.

With the alignment already formed between the three, everything else became quite straightforward. Even though there were minor issues, they wouldn’t impact their overall strategy.

Half a month later, when the Vajra Sect Leader emerged, his realm might only be at the Spirit Realm Fifth Level, but with his strong physical body from the Way of Essence Refinement, he was a match even for common cultivators at the Spirit Realm Sixth Level. This brought significant strength to their side.

Their cooperation signaled a further strengthening of the Underworld Alliance. With them holding down the fort, even though none of them had broken through to the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm yet, they were still able to handle many situations.

Among the many second-tier forces in Sky Wasteland, most only had one or two cultivators at the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm to rely on. Comparatively, the top power of the Underworld Alliance was even stronger.
