The Sims: I Open The Immortal Path For All Beings
/ The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 1351 – Chapter 1351 Chapter 1298
Chapter 1351: Chapter 1298 – Chapter 1299_2 Chapter 1351: Chapter 1298 – Chapter 1299_2 One could say that, except for the many Innate Gods and Demons who returned from the ancient times, none were older than the other.
This was fortunate, for the world innately had flaws, which restricted these Great Ancient Emperors from progressing further due to the constraints of Heaven and Earth. Otherwise, if this world were truly perfect and complete, it would be unimaginable how far these Great Ancient Emperors could have truly grown.
If that were truly the case, even if they discovered the situation in this world, they probably would only suppress their ideas, not daring to make any rash moves at this time.
“How about you guess, how many years have I been cultivating until now?” Pei Xuanjing suppressed the thoughts in his heart and turned to ask with a smile.
“Hmm?” Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder frowned slightly, unsure why the other party would ask such a question.
After pondering for a moment, he ventured, “Could it be more than fifty thousand years?”
At that time, he was unfamiliar with the Divine Land World, the Heavenly Court, and those Gods and True Immortals.
If it weren't for what the Emperor of Longevity before him had said, he would never have even heard the terms Gods and True Immortals.
And if it weren't for actually witnessing the other party's strength, even if someone mentioned these things, he would likely have scoffed and not truly believed them.
But since the other had asked, and combining the strength displayed by the other party, the power of the Divine Land World, the strength of the Heavenly Court, and the other's question, his tentative guess was that it might not be far from his own duration of cultivation.
This guess, in his view, was already very bold, especially since he had to admit that the other party's practice of Taoist Skill and Immortal Path System was much stronger than Martial Arts.
But cultivation must adhere to basic rules; even if initially, it advanced by leaps and bounds, once one reached a certain realm, it was impossible to advance rapidly again.
“Fifty thousand years? Hehe, I might not even have reached five thousand years in my cultivation,” Pei Xuanjing said with a light laugh.
“This is impossible!” Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's expression drastically changed, deeply moved.
Five thousand years, for the strong in this world, might see some reaching the Great Ancient Emperor's domain, but to cultivate to the realm of the other party was absolutely impossible.
It might sound ludicrous to say that the older, the stronger, but each rise of a powerhouse inherently represents the accumulation of time.
“Why should I deceive you about this? It is meaningless,” Pei Xuanjing said as he shook his head gently.
The five thousand years he mentioned, actually already roughly included the time experienced in life simulations; if one were to calculate solely the time he had spent in the Great Ming World, it would likely shock the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder even more.
“Yes, there's no need to deceive me,” the expression of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder grew slightly despondent as he too realized this.
It's not to say that the strong do not lie, but given the other party's vastly superior strength, there was no point in deceiving him about this, as these things, if truly possible, could eventually be verified by himself.
If there really was deception in this regard, it would be fine, for it would prove that the other party was not as strong as he had imagined.
“But,…” the face of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder showed a struggle, wanting to speak yet hesitating.
“But, why was I able to obtain strength more powerful than your fifty thousand years of cultivation in less than five thousand years?” Pei Xuanjing finished the unspoken words for him.
“Perhaps it's talent, comprehension, or maybe it's due to resources, practice skill?” Pei Xuanjing suggested with a smile.
Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder remained silent, for at this moment he didn't know what to say anymore.
Cultivation aside from other reasons, power was the most straightforward answer; the other party was stronger than him despite having cultivated for a shorter time, searching for other reasons was pointless.
“Do you want to know the real answer?” Pei Xuanjing asked in a haunting tone.
Even though he knew the other was tempting him, Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder had to admit one thing, that the other party's words indeed touched his itching curiosity.
He wanted to know the answer, wanted to know the reason, wanted to know why his 50,000 years of cultivation was not as good as the other's 5,000 years.
“It's because this world is flawed, it's incomplete!” Pei Xuanjing did not beat around the bush, and directly threw out the answer.
The world is flawed!
Boom!
It was as if a muffled thunder exploded in the mind of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder!
The world was incomplete, so cultivation was restricted, and thus even 50,000 years of cultivation did not match up to the other's 5,000 years.
Faced with this fact and result, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder felt a complex mix of emotions, uncertain how to deal with it.
Truth be told, as a powerful being, having reached this point in his cultivation, even if he did not comprehend the heaven and earth like the Immortal Path Strong, he was still inseparable from the blessing of heaven and earth.
Decades of thousands of years of cultivation, upon reaching a certain realm, his strength could no longer improve, his foundation seemed flawed. This was not only felt by the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder but was a feeling shared among all the Great Ancient Emperors and Supreme Elders.
However, not only the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, including every Great Ancient Emperor, thought it was their own problem, or perhaps a problem with their martial arts system, believing that martial arts were inherently incomplete when they were first founded, leaving defects.
They had searched countless reasons within themselves, explored many other possibilities, but had never considered the heavens and earth to be the cause. It was not that they couldn't, but they dared not.
Born and raised here, for these Ancient Emperors, everything they knew came from this world. No matter their nature, how could they easily question their birthplace?
After all, unlike the cultivators of the Great Ming World, they had experienced the Great War during the Tang Dynasty Era, which led to the End of Dharma Age in the Great Ming World and forced these strong beings to migrate to other worlds, embarking on the path to discover new worlds.
Having experienced new worlds, having the Sky Wasteland for comparison, these powerful beings truly understood the disparity between heavens and earth, and dared to make such assumptions and guesses.
But the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder and other Great Ancient Emperors had not really taken this step; although they possessed combat power comparable to that of True Immortals, none had truly stepped out of this world, truly into the vast Chaos Void.
Without comparison, there is no disparity, so they had never thought in this direction. After all, to many martial artists, such thoughts were considered complaints against the heavens and other people.
Now that the truth had been pointed out by the Emperor of Longevity, how could the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder not be shocked.
All the answers were unveiled, not because they were lacking in diligent cultivation, not because their talents were insufficient, nor because there were problems with their martial arts.
Ultimately, it was because the heavens and earth were flawed, so they were stuck in their progress.
The land that nurtured them had become the greatest shackle preventing them from moving forward, although it sounded ridiculous.
But the fact was right before his eyes, he couldn't even muster a rebuttal.
After all, some things are simply true; they cannot become false, and what is false remains false, never becoming true.
When the Emperor of Longevity spoke these words, everything left the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder with no room for rebuttal.
“The heavens and earth are flawed, this world can no longer facilitate your progress, instead, it has become your biggest obstacle. If you remain within this world, you will never be able to advance,” said Pei Xuanjing somberly.
As he spoke these words, he also felt emotionally touched, today was reminiscent of those days.
The current situation of this world was just like the initial resurgence of the Great Ming World, seemingly prosperous, yet all the strong ones were hindered before the threshold of the Immortal Path and could not break through.
Fortunately, back then, they had the existence of the Sky Wasteland, which allowed them to draw on the Origin of the Sky Wasteland to facilitate the merging of the two worlds and elevate the heavens and earth, finding their path forward.
As for the strong ones of this world, even if they are now aware of this issue, it is very hard for them to do the same.
