The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 1154

Chapter 1154: Chapters 112-113 Helping Hand (Happy National Day, Requesting Monthly Ticket Support)_2 Chapter 1154: Chapters 112-113 Helping Hand (Happy National Day, Requesting Monthly Ticket Support)_2 However, from Pei Xuanjing's perspective, the opponent's enhancement of Divinity and increase of Authority also had many oversights and deficiencies.

Since there was still time, he decided to take action himself to help the other party improve.

“Thank you, Master Pei!” Zhu Houji's face brightened with joy upon hearing this, his expression brimming with excitement.

He was naturally aware of the flaws in his hurriedly accelerated increase of Authority, but it was a matter of necessity, to be slowly polished over time, awaiting the eventual Enthronement to solve.

Yet this also faced a situation where his enhancement had completely reached a limit, unable to increase his foundation before the Enthronement of his Divine Position.

Now, hearing Pei Xuanjing was willing to lend a hand, it was without a doubt a great opportunity. If he could resolve some of the issues, then in the remaining time, he could continue to increase his foundation, preparing more for the future.

“Master Pei, please follow me.” Zhu Houji, making no fuss, led Pei Xuanjing towards the palace where he practiced his Cultivation in seclusion.

As the two entered the palace, Zhu Houji activated the palace's Array, and an endless Force of Faith Incense permeated the space.

This Force of Faith Incense was his accumulation, but due to reaching a limit in his absorption, he could only watch helplessly, unable to use or absorb it.

Seeing this, Pei Xuanjing nodded and said, “Let's begin!”

Two flowers bloomed, each representing a unique significance.

How Pei Xuanjing helped Zhu Houji consolidate his Authority and absorb more Force of Faith Incense to enhance his foundation and increase his accumulation is not mentioned here.

Within the Heterodox Alliance, there was also an old acquaintance of Pei Xuanjing, an old friend who was accelerating the consolidation of his own Authority and striving to breakthrough to the Strongest Realm.

Within the Heterodox Alliance, Zhao Baiyang, an Alliance Leader of the Heterodox Path from the native forces of the Great Ming World, had gradually made a significant name for himself in the more than sixty years since the War of Sealing Gods began.

Although the Sky Wasteland and the Great Ming World had been integrated for hundreds of years, originating from the same source, there was still some gap between the native forces and those that returned.

It could be said that apart from the Shenxiao Sect with Shenxiao True Monarch Pei Xuanjing, the Great Ming Divine Dynasty with several Supreme Strong, and True Martial Sect that had completed the transition from human to divine, the other native forces of the Great Ming World, though rapidly advancing in strength over the years, were still very weak compared to the great forces returning from the original Sky Wasteland.

However, in the recent decades, the fame of the Heterodox Alliance had begun to spread throughout the realm, particularly the several Alliance Hierarchs and Deputy Alliance Leaders. Although they had not yet stepped into the Strongest Realm, each was a formidable being comparable to the Venerable Withered Wood and Pestilence Venerable, who could contend with the strongest foes in the Eighth Layer of the Spirit Realm.

Among them, the Alliance Leader of the Heterodox Path, Maitreya Sect Leader Zhao Baiyang, was an especially famed figure. Especially recently, when he singly fought a Supreme Strong Demon King of the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Realm and ultimately left the Demon King severely wounded, forcing the powerful foe to flee in disarray.

Though he did not kill the Demon King, the fact that Zhao Baiyang severely wounded a Supreme Strong Demon King revealed the terrifying strength of this Alliance Leader of the Heterodox Path.

Since the last great war between the two races, during this time of ceasefire and recovery, Zhao Baiyang did not remain on the battlefield; instead, he delegated some matters to others and returned to the Heterodox Alliance's Sect headquarters.

This base had been operated by the Heterodox Alliance for hundreds of years. Even though they had started to transfer many things into the Secret Realm Blessed Land, which was a nascent form of the Heavenly Court, this did not mean they would give up on this base entirely.

The logic of having multiple boltholes was deeply ingrained, and although Zhao Baiyang trusted Pei Xuanjing very much and believed in the near certainty of the Heavenly Court plan's success–which was why he was willing to commit everything to join it–it didn't mean that Zhao Baiyang would place all of the Heterodox Alliance's assets within it, at least not until he had completely secured that Secret Realm Blessed Land and ensured that it was safe from threats.

Even though their cooperation with the Great Ming Divine Dynasty seems to be going well now, with both parties apparently having forgotten their past grievances and feuds, Zhao Baiyang would not naively believe that the Divine Dynasty would really let bygones be bygones.

No matter what, the death of the Emperor Wuzong of Great Ming and their inseparable involvement, for the royal family of the Divine Dynasty, is a deep-seated hatred and blood feud, particularly as the beneficiaries, the Divine Dynasty would absolutely not forget this matter.

Their current close cooperation is only due to mutual interests; vast interests have caused both parties to set aside their differences for now, temporarily putting aside hatred to join forces.

But what about the future?

Once the Godsealing Plan is completed, and the Divine Dynasty takes its place in the Heavenly Court, when they possess even greater strength, they can turn this matter against our side.

Even if, according to the Godsealing Plan, the future Zhu Houji becomes the nominal master of the Heavenly Court, wielding supreme authority, he won't even need to turn against us openly, some covert actions against Zhao Baiyang and his associates would also be unfavorable.

To cope with such a situation, there is only one way out, and that is to become stronger, to make oneself more powerful; only when one is strong enough, can one deter the other party from harboring thoughts of revenge.

This is the only method for Zhao Baiyang and his associates to break the impasse, as things currently stand.

Because the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, regardless of its strength, even if they are weak, plays a vital role in the current Godsealing Plan and has gained the protection of Shenxiao True Monarch Pei Xuanjing, as well as the recognition of many True Immortals.

This means that the Divine Dynasty absolutely cannot falter, their existence influences the Godsealing Plan; even if some immortal sect forces can secretly target and suppress them, they cannot obliterate the Divine Dynasty.

Faced with such an opponent, what Zhao Baiyang and others can do is strengthen themselves.

“Since I have already embarked on the path of the Divine Dao, then there is no need to hesitate. First, I will become stronger through the Divine Dao path so that I can plot other schemes without any worries,” decided Zhao Baiyang, determination gleaming in his eyes.

The Zhao Baiyang of the past did not walk the path of the Divine Dao, after all, for the cultivators in this world, most turn to the Divine Dao only when they have no other way.

But this is reality, with too many threats faced, in this era of great contention, if the Heterodox Alliance wants to grow and become stronger, someone needs to stand up.

As the Alliance Leader of the Heterodox Path, he has an unshirkable responsibility; having enjoyed the worship and power of countless individuals within the Heterodox Alliance, he must take on the responsibility of protecting them.

For this reason, long ago, Zhao Baiyang began to consolidate a Divine Position like Pei Xuanjing, refining the Divine Position to enhance his combat power, in order to ensure that the Heterodox Alliance is not abandoned by the tides of the era, to ensure that they seize every opportunity, to have sufficient strength to deal with everything and become increasingly powerful.

It is not just Zhao Baiyang, Monarch Qingxu of the True Martial Sect is the same, or it could be said that most of the local powerhouses in the Great Ming World have embarked on this path.

After all, among these local forces, not every faction can enjoy Pei Xuanjing's protection from start to finish, nor is every faction supported by an ancestor like the Old Heavenly Master.

Facing the tide of the era, if they wish to rise in this world of great contention and not be left behind, they must inevitably make some choices, give up some things, even if they themselves do not like them or are unwilling to accept them, they have no other choice.

When the Great Ming Empire ascended to a Divine Dynasty and then Pei Xuanjing ceded a portion of the Divine Positions to the various forces, to the powerhouses of these forces, such a serendipitous event made them wonder whether this move by Shenxiao True Monarch was unintended or had been planned all along.

However, regardless of the opponent's intentions, they had to admit that these Divine Positions had become their lifeline, allowing them at least one choice in this era of great contention, one opportunity to struggle and not be left completely helpless.

Therefore, even if they dislike it, they must still be thankful for what Pei Xuanjing did back then.
