The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 1238

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1186–Chapter 1187: Establishing the Heavenly Court in Nine Heavens_2 Chapter 1238: Chapter 1186–Chapter 1187: Establishing the Heavenly Court in Nine Heavens_2 In this process, heaven and earth were bound to experience violent tremors. It was necessary for these powerful beings to stabilize the void, preventing it from collapsing.

“Taoist Friend, rest assured!” all the True Immortals said together.

They had prepared for this day and naturally, there was no possibility of error.

Pei Xuanjing nodded and then addressed the newly enfeoffed gods, “Gods, heed my command: return to your posts, guard the stars and the sun and moon, the mountains and rivers, and protect all beings!”

The opening of the Heavenly Court was a matter that related to the future development of the Great Ming World, and errors were absolutely forbidden.

So even if these gods had just been enfeoffed, and perhaps they hadn't yet fully grasped their own authority, in such circumstances, they still needed to step forward and take on their responsibilities.

After all, the Divine Tao was originally meant to exist for the protection of all beings; without the existence of beings, gods would have no purpose.

Of course, all this was not just about hard work without reward.

The formative Heavenly Court had absorbed an unknown amount of essence, and together with the Chaos Qi that had been refined, its foundation was so formidable that integrating it into the Great Ming World would greatly benefit the heaven and earth of the Great Ming World.

Furthermore, with the gods being enfeoffed and the opening of the Heavenly Court, this was in accordance with the will of heaven and earth. As participants, the gods would receive even more of the fortuitous opportunities granted by the will of the heaven and earth, which would greatly aid their cultivation.

Sometimes, watching and personally participating are completely different concepts.

The actions now taken by Pei Xuanjing and the other True Immortals might not compare to opening the heavens and splitting the earth, but they were not far off.

The will of heaven and earth was displayed without reserve at this moment. Thus, as participating gods, they would naturally become one with heaven and earth, bearing a part of its power. Although this power would eventually fade, it was nonetheless a rare opportunity.

On the path of cultivation, many cultivators remain stuck in place because they can never clear up the path ahead, unable to comprehend its mysteries, and for their whole lives, they cannot set foot on it.

Now, powered by the force of heaven and earth, they could prematurely experience that level of power, like having seen the answers before a test. While they couldn't copy them exactly, this experience would provide a significant advantage when facing the next test.

For True Immortals like Pei Xuanjing, who had no references or guidance on the Immortal Path, everything was explored and advanced on the road of cultivation through their own power and wisdom.

If there was an opportunity to prematurely experience stronger powers of the Immortal Path, it would be like lighting a bright lamp on the dark and perplexing road ahead, illuminating the way forward.

As for whether these recently enfeoffed gods understood these fortuitous opportunities, Pei Xuanjing and the True Immortals did not specify.

The most important thing in cultivation is to rely on oneself. If you always depend on others, expecting them to solve all your problems and point out the entire path, then is it you who is undergoing cultivation, or is it someone else?

Therefore, this chance was also laid before them. Whether they could seize it became an invisible test for the many gods after their enfeoffment, sketching a line for their future development.

Pei Xuanjing did not concern himself with whether the gods could seize the opportunity. He simply waited for the many gods to take their places and protect the world, then he stepped into the embryonic Heavenly Court.

By doing so, he was about to perform the act of opening the heavens.

With one step inside, he changed the heaven and earth.

A hazy expanse stretched before him, as if it were a swath of Chaos itself, devoid of distinctions such as up and down, left and right, east and west, north and south, night and day, past, present, and future.

The power of True Immortals was truly terrifying.

This embryonic plan for the Heavenly Court was meant to transform into a Small Thousand World, or to say its essence was even mightier than that of a Small Thousand World. Yet, it shattered into nothingness upon the mere few simple strikes by Pei Xuanjing, a complete destruction, returning once more to the midst of Chaos.

Pei Xuanjing stood within this gray and indistinct world of Chaos, a satisfied expression emerging on his face.

As the saying goes, blank paper is the easiest to draw upon. The framework left by the various previous Human Race Common Masters wasn't bad, but its development was too slow and could no longer keep up with the needs of the times. He needed to mold a new Heavenly Court.

With a light wave of the Sanbao Jade Ruyi in Pei Xuanjing's hand, boom!

This originally calm world of Chaos suddenly erupted with such terrifying power that it was as if a thunderbolt had dropped onto a tranquil lake, causing countless ripples to sweep in all directions.

Boom, rumble, continuous sounds exploded within the world of Chaos, as if heaven and earth were astonished and shaken, though Pei Xuanjing remained unmoved, his expression indifferent.

Watching the ceaselessly sweeping misty Chaos Qi, mana flowed around Pei Xuanjing's body, and once more the Six-Color Sword condensed into existence, with cyan, red, yellow, white, black, and purple radiance swirling around it, each distinct yet also reflecting one another.

Pei Xuanjing swung his sword, releasing terrifying Sword Intent without reservation, combined with the power of his peak state. Instantly, the world of gray Chaos began to tremble, and countless strands of Chaos Qi danced about.

This fearsome Sword Qi raged through the gray world of Chaos, and in a flash, Earth Water Wind Fire surged wildly, enveloping everything within Chaos. The boundless morphed into Tai Chi, and Tai Chi sought to transform into various phenomena like Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning; then it solidified Yin and Yang, spawned the Yin and Yang Two Intentions, distinguished the clear and murky Qi. The clear rose to form the vault of heaven while the murky sank to become the great earth.

The continuously fracturing Chaos, numerous strands of Chaos Qi began to slowly metamorphose, sparking changes throughout the entire world of Chaos.

Then, following this, Yin and Yang separated, establishing the Three Talents, birthing the Four Images, dividing the Five Elements, opening the Six Harmonies, gathering the Seven Stars, securing the Eight Directions, forming the Nine Palaces, between Heaven and Earth, there were the Ten Directions.

“The Heavenly Court emerges, with the Nine Directions Heaven Realm to dominate the nine directions of heaven and earth!” Pei Xuanjing uttered softly, a decree-like golden phrase, an Innate command.

Heaven has Nine Fields. What are the Nine Fields? Central is called Kun Heaven, East is called Blue Heaven, Northeast is called Heaven-Changing. North is called Xuantian, Northwest is called Dark Heaven, West is called Bright Heaven, Southwest is called Zhu Heaven, South is called Flame Heaven, Southeast is called Yang Heaven.

Regarding the future structural division of the Heavenly Court, Pei Xuanjing had never settled on a definitive conclusion, even when all the Gods had been enfeoffed.

Because in his original plan, the Heavenly Court was not merely a palace but should also represent a world, belonging to yet independent from the Great Ming World.

Therefore, the Heavenly Court should also be known as the Heavenly world, whereupon the Thirty-Three Heavens should loom above, with all Gods dwelling within the Heavenly world, or perhaps where the Nine Heavens are suspended high, with Shen Xiao filling the sky.

Only such a structural idea could accommodate a greater number of Gods.

However, ideals and reality are always worlds apart; the original form of the embryonic Heavenly Court was too weak to support Pei Xuanjing's concept.

Even if the many Spirit Realm Cave Heavens and Secret Realm Blessed Lands within the Heavenly Court's embryonic form were to return to their origins, they would be incapable of supporting a true Thirty-Three Heavens Realm.

Therefore, Pei Xuanjing ultimately decided to first set up the Nine Heavens, for the use of the Heavenly Court. In the days to come, when the Gods of the Heavenly Court discover more worlds, the origins of those worlds would be integrated herein, and then, upon the next advancement of the Great Ming World, the Heavenly Court would also advance.

Given the current situation, having the Nine Heavens as one equal realm was indeed the most fitting method, also reflecting the supposed 'equality' among the many True Immortals, even if it was only a superficial equality.

After all, were it truly to be arranged according to the Thirty-Three Heavens, then who would occupy the higher and who the lower positions? In essence, such an arrangement would inevitably invite many conflicts, undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire in the current situation.

The days when the mighty of the human race once united in common cause have passed, and although it won't lead to many True Immortals or Supreme Overlords immediately drawing swords against each other, without external threats, the subsequent conflicts among True Immortals and Supreme Overlords, for their own paths and Cultivation, will naturally occur. It's unavoidable.

Although Pei Xuanjing was reluctant to forcefully press all parties to quell their disputes and conflicts, in his view, it was best to postpone this conflict as long as possible, and wait for the future.

As for now, the interest plate of the Great Ming World isn't really that large yet; there's no need to rush into smashing the pot for a profit.
