/ The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 1314 – Chapter 1314 Chapters 1262.1263 Various Parties Gather
Chapter 1314: Chapters 1262-1263 Various Parties Gather – Issues with the Heavenly Court Chapter 1314: Chapters 1262-1263 Various Parties Gather – Issues with the Heavenly Court The goodwill of the weak is negligible.
The goodwill of the strong, however, is immensely precious.
Even if each of these Great Ancient Emperors had a supremely arrogant temperament, it didn't mean they were foolish enough to stubbornly resist when faced with a stronger being who offered goodwill.
There might be such obstinate Great Ancient Emperors, but truly, they were few.
If it hadn't been for Pei Xuanjing's initial display of power, which revealed his formidable deterrent force, relying solely on the abilities shown by the Fire Virtue Star Lord, these Great Ancient Emperors would certainly have been tempted by their own interests and would not have easily compromised.
But the strength displayed by their current opponent far surpassed their own, and even if they united against this mysterious force, victory was not assured.
Even if they could overwhelm the enemy through sheer numbers, at the ultimate end, it was inevitable that the opponent could drag down some Great Ancient Emperors in mutual destruction. Who would want to be the unfortunate one, sacrificing their life for the achievements of other Great Ancient Emperors?
No one!
So now that the other party had shown goodwill, it was worth engaging with them, at least securing some immediate benefits and understanding the methods of cultivation of this new system.
If this system could allow them to remedy their foundations and become even stronger, then even if the person behind it had some ambition or conspiracy, strengthening oneself was never wrong.
“As long as the other doesn't intend to unify heaven and earth like some of the madmen of the past, then this Emperor doesn't mind cooperating,” thought one of the Ancient Emperors upon learning of the heavenly gate's requirements.
The Great Ancient Emperors of this world had been trapped in this realm far too long, much longer than Pei Xuanjing and others had imagined, so their sense of crisis was even stronger, and their desire to remedy their foundations even more intense.
In the past, many exceedingly powerful Great Ancient Emperors harbored thoughts of gathering Qi Luck to unify heaven and earth to achieve their own Taoist Skill.
But such attempts were naturally opposed by the other Great Ancient Emperors, as no one was willing to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of another.
What they were most concerned about at first was whether this abruptly appearing strong being had ambitions to swallow up all directions, and if so, they were determined to resist to the death.
Now that the heavenly gate was willing to share a new system, it was acceptable for these Ancient Emperors.
Each Great Ancient Emperor who had come this far was extremely proud and didn't believe they were inferior to anyone.
If this mysterious entity could cultivate within this system, then so could they. Even if they could not do it exactly, they could similarly broaden their understanding and enhance themselves.
As long as their strength was sufficient, they could face anything.
“Mere Heavenly and Earthly Treasures are nothing. As long as it allows this Emperor to remedy his foundations and advance further, even the Empire can be sacrificed!” declared one Great Emperor, his eyes flashing with madness.
Not every Great Ancient Emperor was obsessed with power. Part of the reason they established imperial dynasties and holy lands was to use these imperial courts to promote their own ideologies and allow more people to practice the Martial Arts they had created in search of new paths.
Just as Pei Xuanjing had done after founding the Taoist Academy, tapping into the wisdom of all beings and then promoting his own Human Immortal Martial Arts, sharing his understanding and insights into the Immortal Path, and correcting any deficiencies. The Great Ancient Emperors founded their imperial dynasties with the same goal.
Yet, after countless years, although they indeed developed many stronger forms of Martial Arts, they were still unable to escape the cage of heaven and earth, unable to break these shackles, and did not find a new way forward.
Now that there was new hope, how could these Great Ancient Emperors not be willing to pay any price for their own cultivation, in their eyes?
After all, although Star Lord Yisuan and others were once not old-line True Immortals and had not been trapped at the limits of the Supreme Strong Realm without seeing the Immortal Path, they always had hope and goals from the moment they stepped into the Strongest Realm and saw the arrival of True Immortals.
But it was different for these Great Ancient Emperors. They were more lost than Star Lord Yisuan and the others, standing at the edge of an abyss, gazing into the heavens without seeing a glimmer of hope–how could that not drive them to despair and madness?
So, for some Great Ancient Emperors, if they could really advance further, they would be willing to pay any price, even if that meant abandoning their imperial dynasties.
They were well aware that everything stemmed from that one aspect. As long as they maintained their strength, imperial dynasties were just external entities; their power came from within, from their force. Even if their imperial courts fell, they could still establish new ones as long as they existed.
Although these Great Ancient Emperors might have various thoughts, some believing, some doubting, faced with the condition offered by the heavenly gate at this moment, from their standpoint, it was not too harsh or excessive–it was within what they were willing to shoulder. Therefore, they agreed.
Moreover, just as Star Lord Fate Controller and Star Lord Yi Suan had strategized, once they showed goodwill and were willing to share Taoist Skill without reservation, the initial understanding among the Great Ancient Emperors broke down, and they could no longer unite. Whether by their own volition or enforced, they could only compromise at this moment.
