The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 930: Chapter 880-881: Life Simulation – The Ebbing Vitality, The Challenger – Combined

This “Your Highness” is terrifyingly powerful, just the martial will retained on the invitation is so horrifying, which shows how strong the other party must be.

No one is willing to accept additional pressure on themselves out of thin air, yet the existence of this “Your Highness” is a form of pressure upon them. Therefore, the Martial Artists who came this time, besides wanting to see what the other party would do, also harbored some other thoughts.

Although nobody took the initiative to contact others, this tacit understanding actually emerged among them long ago.

Thus, it’s best to just wait and see how things unfold, not to rush forward recklessly becoming a pawn for others.

In the blink of an eye, the agreed day arrived. On that high platform that emerged out of nowhere, many seats were arranged, and countless delicacies and fine wines were brought up.

“Ladies and gentlemen, His Highness is already waiting above for you all. Please ascent the platform to meet him,” the voice of the guard commander echoed within several miles, heard by every Powerhouse. They also saw the high platform appear out of nowhere with no stairs left behind.

However, for these Powerhouses, it didn’t matter; the platform was merely tens of feet high, effortlessly surmountable.

Pei Xuanjing sat in the seat of honor, taking in everything below with a smile on his face, quietly waiting for these people to ascend.

“Since that’s the case, then this Sect Master will go first!” the Temple Master stepped out ahead of the rest, soaring into the air.

“How could we allow you to go first!” The Master of Tianwu Pavilion, the Qingyun Taoist master, and the Limitless Sect Master also followed suit.

Other Powerhouses from various factions also leaped up at the same time, charging towards the platform.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

These Powerhouses who received the invitations all landed on the platform one after another and took their seats.

After waiting for these people to be seated, Pei Xuanjing raised his wine cup and gestured, “Today I am overjoyed to have the honor of your presence here, dear friends. Let’s drink this cup to the full!”

“Your Highness is too kind, and we must also thank you for the gift of the Martial Classics!” the many Powerhouses said with a smile.

After drinking wine, Pei Xuanjing made another suggestion, “When I bestowed the Martial Classics upon you all ten years ago, I wonder, are my friends willing to exchange insights with each other now?”

When he initially spread the Martial Classics, allowing these people to refer to them for cultivation, it was to leverage their wisdom, in a similar manner to when he first founded the Taoist Academy, and then, by pooling their thoughts, gain more enlightenment and insights to build upon his own foundation.

The Powerhouses able to sit here were each peerless geniuses; previously limited by their scope of vision and understanding, now, inspired by the Martial Classics, they certainly had gained unique perspectives.

Hearing Pei Xuanjing say this, these people exchanged glances, surprised by his idea. However, they didn’t harbor much thought of refusal.

After all, no matter what, this person had the deepest understanding of the Martial Classics. Over the years, their study of the Martial Classics was akin to working in isolation, at most exchanging ideas within their own Sect, but seldom with Powerhouses of the same Realm. Now, it seemed an opportunity had arisen.

Seeing that this group didn’t outright refuse, Pei Xuanjing took the opportunity to say, “If you don’t mind, then shall I start the discussion?”

“We dare not decline!”

And so, the ensuing exchange was based on their enlightenment from the Martial Classics. They spoke of their understanding of the Classics and their insights in the path of cultivation, each gaining much inspiration and achieving rich rewards.

Time flew by swiftly, and in the blink of an eye three days had passed with everyone exchanging their insights. When it was time to stop, they all seemed somewhat reluctant to end the discussion.

After adjusting and digesting their gains, everyone’s gaze turned back to Pei Xuanjing, waiting for him to continue speaking.

The reason they came to see Pei Xuanjing was very clear, aside from some who harbored the thought of challenging Pei Xuanjing, most wanted to hear about the Path of Longevity Pei Xuanjing mentioned in the invitation.

Pei Xuanjing understood their thoughts and didn’t refuse. However, he didn’t immediately speak of his discoveries, instead, he posed a question, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I presume that after improving the foundation of your Martial Arts, your lifespans have been extended. But I have a question to ask, do you feel that the speed of life force flowing away from you is normal now?”

Once Pei Xuanjing had spoken, the Martial Artists all frowned and their expressions shifted slightly as if he had touched on their concerns.

Martial Arts cultivation is, after all, the development of physical strength, and gaining mastery over oneself. The Cultivators of the Path of Human Immortal are the most keen and sensitive to control over their own bodies; they can clearly sense the vitality within themselves.

In the past, these top Powerhouses could all sense that their lifespan limit was five hundred years. No matter how hard they tried to change and attempt to break through this constraint, it seemed impossible.

After receiving the Martial Classics, they revamped the foundation of their cultivation, integrating the methods from the Classics with their own methods of cultivation. Although their lifespans did not reach the nearly ten thousand years mentioned in the Classics, they did exceed their former limits, gaining at least a few thousand years of life.

Although they had noticed their increasing power and the accelerated loss of life force, they did not particularly mind. After all, by their calculations, even at this rate, they could live for several thousand years, which was many times better than the previous limit of five hundred years.

“What does Your Highness mean?” the Temple Master asked with a frown.

Originally, they did not care about these details, but now that Pei Xuanjing had brought up the speed of life force flowing away, they naturally could no longer ignore it.
