The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 1156

Chapter 1156: Chapter 114–115 Divine Tao as Prominent Doctrine_2 Chapter 1156: Chapter 114–115 Divine Tao as Prominent Doctrine_2 “The Immortal Path to Longevity is hard to find; only by relying on the Divine Tao of Longevity can one compensate for the deficiencies of the Immortal Path,” thought Zhao Baiyang, as his thoughts in his mind grew clearer, and many puzzles that troubled his heart were revealed.

At this moment, he finally saw clearly an important purpose of this 'Enthroning Gods' matter.

Thinking of this, Zhao Baiyang cast aside the slight displeasure in his heart and a smile formed at the corner of his mouth, “Since the Divine Tao is soon to become recognized by heaven and earth, cultivating the Divine Tao is to follow the natural order. Why should I go against it?”

He no longer held the slightest rejection toward the Divine Tao and completely accepted everything.

The original reason he felt this way was not only because he thought he had seen through the mystery behind it, but also because of Pei Xuanjing's Method of Five Immortals Simultaneous Verification.

He was clear in his mind–if walking the Immortal Path had its limits and he could not venture far in the Divine Tao, he could completely replicate Pei Xuanjing by following the Method of Five Immortals Simultaneous Verification.

The howls of the weak attract no attention; the soft hums of the strong resonate deep in people's hearts.

For Shenxiao True Monarch Pei Xuanjing, who was nearly considered the foremost individual between heaven and earth, his path became the target of countless people. Those who were confused about the road ahead took him as a beacon, following in his footsteps.

Since the ancient times, who was the pioneer of the Taoist Path?

The origins of the cultivation paths in this world are long untraceable, or to say, there is no accurate explanation for it–opinions vary among different groups.

Because the lengthy eons have buried many secrets, the earliest pioneers have also fallen, leaving behind only their ideals and concepts while everything else has dissipated.

But now, the True Immortal Realm is a visible existence for all cultivators; the dozen or so True Immortals of the human race stand at the pinnacle of the universe, their names widely known, each cultivator intimately familiar with the details and origins of these True Immortals.

Among the many True Immortals of the human race, Shenxiao True Monarch Pei Xuanjing is the most widely known and revered.

The reason being, even though other True Immortals have their own sects and disciples, they only spread some of the most basic and fundamental Taoist concepts and skills. The core paths of cultivation remain secretive.

However, for the Emperor of South Pole Eternal Life, Shenxiao True Monarch, his Tao, his skills, his cultivation concepts are spread without reservation, nothing hidden, allowing all cultivators between heaven and earth to exchange and gain them.

As long as one can accumulate enough contribution points, one could exchange for the desired cultivation methods within the Taoist Academy's cultivation system, regardless of one's background, origin, or purpose.

This indeed results in some cultivators with ill-intentions gaining powerful skills and causing harm, but it also brings opportunities and hope to many more cultivators. To stop it would be like throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

Thus, even though many cultivators cause evil with the skills exchanged from the Taoist Academy, none believe that the academy or Shenxiao True Monarch is to blame.

To them, having access to cultivation methods without the chance to join an immortal sect or wishing to join a sect is already a great fortune.

It is for this reason they venerate Shenxiao True Monarch as a Holy Sage, and why many cultivators adopt Pei Xuanjing's cultivation concepts, taking the Shenxiao True Monarch as their role model and following the same path as him.

This is no jest.

As a pioneer, Pei Xuanjing paved his own path painstakingly, neither wishing to fall into the trappings of others nor having any references; he could only carve out his own path.

But for cultivators of this world, to create their own Taoist skills and walk their own paths is indeed the most difficult path.

One must recognize that those who can innovate their own cultivation methods from nothing are very few; even though most cultivators qualify to step into the Strongest Realm and glimpse at the Immortal Path, their potential is mostly based on this alone.

Breaking through the Immortal Path is an insurmountable Heavenly Chasm for them; even if they are fortunate enough to step onto the Immortal Path, the prospect of venturing further and blazing trails from nothing is nearly impossible.

At this time, the only paths they could reference were those of the dozen or so True Immortals of the human race, these pioneers.

Compared to other True Immortals who still held some sectarian views, Shenxiao True Monarch's sharing of knowledge without reservation naturally became the choice of the majority.

Thus, almost inadvertently, Pei Xuanjing's Path of Spirit, Qi, and Soul, the Path of Heaven, Earth, Humanity, Gods, and Ghosts to Becoming Immortal, and the successive certifications of True Immortal, had received the recognition of countless cultivators and was the path many cultivators were actively exploring and pursuing.

Pei Xuanjing's influence in the world grew increasingly significant, and more and more people took him as their master, acknowledging themselves as his followers.

The True Immortals of their race saw all this clearly, but facing this situation, they also had no good strategies to break the deadlock.

After all, understanding some things and knowing how to act is entirely different from being able to make the decision to act.

For most True Immortals, unlike Pei Xuanjing who belonged to a Sect and was a pioneer, he had the authority to manage everything about himself without anyone questioning him.

While these True Immortals might have supreme status within their own sects, they could not disregard the will of their fellow sect members and disciples to open up all their Taoist Skills like Pei Xuanjing did.

Even if a few True Monarchs of the Taoist School and Venerates of the Buddhism School followed Pei Xuanjing's example by opening up many Taoist Skills, even touching on core doctrines, the influence they garnered still fell short compared to Pei Xuanjing.

After all, what they displayed was ultimately restrained, and regarding some core aspects, their sect's own direct disciples were not qualified to touch them, so how could they casually teach them to others?

A fear of comparison is common, and compared to their reservations, Pei Xuanjing's complete openness made the choice clear; the cultivators of the world naturally “voted with their feet,” choosing the most beneficial side.

The innate nature of beings is to seek benefit and avoid harm, something no one can change.

Not to mention the independent practitioners of the world, even the disciples of the immortal sects overseen by these True Immortals, those not privy to the core, unable to receive the ultimate inheritance of the sects, many chose to also cultivate Pei Xuanjing's Taoist Skills.

No one thinks they are inferior to others. In these sects, only a handful of people can receive the ultimate inheritance; the rest are unable to delve into the most core inherited Taoist Skills.

But for those not chosen, they too wished for hope, to cultivate the strongest Taoist Skills, as it is human nature.

Since they could not obtain the sect's Taoist Skills, if it were before, they would have been frustrated but helpless without any alternatives.

But now they had another choice, naturally fostering other ideas, something even the True Immortals could not stop.

Obstructing someone on their path to becoming a True Immortal is a grievance greater than heaven!

If the sect could not teach all disciples the most core Taoist Skills, and these disciples chose another path with a chance to cultivate the Taoist Skills of True Immortals, and if the sect were to obstruct them, such collective anger could lead to disloyalty within the sect.

In such a situation, even the True Immortals could only tacitly accept this matter and turn a blind eye.

And if this was the case with disciples of the immortal sects, not to mention other forces' cultivators.

Although they had cultivated their own Taoist Skills and their foundations were set, unless they had great resolve and determination to change, it did not mean they could not reference or draw inspiration from others.

Thus, imperceptibly, they were also endorsing Pei Xuanjing's concepts, embarking on Pei Xuanjing's Great Tao.

Such was the case with Zhao Baiyang.
