The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 1355

Chapter 1355: Chapters 1302-1303: The Torrents of the Era Roll Forward_2 Chapter 1355: Chapters 1302-1303: The Torrents of the Era Roll Forward_2 Therefore, Pei Xuanjing did not hasten them, there was no need for the other party to respond immediately; they could continue to consider for a while longer.

“You mean to suggest that I can still leave, Emperor?” The Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and his tone was full of the unexpected.

Indeed, everything that had happened today was too surprising for him. He needed time to digest this news. Although he no longer flatly rejected the invitation as he had at the beginning, agreeing so swiftly was extremely difficult.

However, after the other party had revealed so much confidential information, he believed he could no longer leave the heavenly gate. After all, putting himself in their shoes, he would not let someone who knew countless secrets leave so easily either.

“Why should I forcibly keep you here?” Pei Xuanjing countered.

“Do you not fear that after I leave, I might turn around and leak this information, or even contact the other Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors to form an alliance against you?” the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder chuckled lightly.

As long as he stayed here, the secret could be kept safe, but once he left, it would be difficult to keep it concealed.

Even if his visit to the heavenly gate had been highly secretive, there would inevitably be some Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors who discovered his whereabouts, and some might even have deliberately allowed him to come, hoping that he would probe into matters.

Besides, even if he had arrived inconspicuously, his earlier intervention at Myriad Laws Mountain, and the fierce exchange that took place, would undoubtedly attract the attention of countless Martial Artists. By now, many would have learned of this and been curious, or even waiting for his return.

“The information is bound to be made known to everyone sooner or later; it can be hidden for a moment but not forever. So instead of concealing it, why not spread it through your word? Information released by an Emperor will surely be believed by more people,” Pei Xuanjing seemed to lack any intent to keep the news secret.

In fact, it was as Pei Xuanjing had said, the matters they were involved in were bound to be disclosed to the world sooner or later, their origins and backgrounds would eventually be known to all.

Initially, Pei Xuanjing and the others kept a low profile and concealed their identities because they had not yet fully understood this world and had not established a foothold.

But now things were different. With the passing of many years, they had acquired a base and had gained a deep understanding of this world. They'd also begun cooperating with various parties and the existence of the Taoist Academy was propelling the concept of Taoist Skills.

To put it bluntly, although they could not be said to have firm roots, they had already amassed a significant following and garnered ample support.

Perhaps for these top powerhouses, they harbored apprehension towards the Heavenly Court, believing its presence would impose checks and balances on them.

But for the lowest level of Martial Artists, the emergence of the heavenly gate or what's more the Heavenly Court, was beneficial rather than detrimental. Thanks to the Taoist Academy, they had obtained methods of cultivation they had not even dared to dream about before, which provided them with opportunities and the right to survive.

Then, as long as the Heavenly Court did not truly intend to destroy the world but instead provide a better living space, once they genuinely experienced the system of the Heavenly Court and the environment of the Great Ming World, they might be willing to join the Great Ming World and become part of it.

Therefore, even if the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder spread this information, it would have no impact on Pei Xuanjing and the others, and could even be beneficial.

In recent years, the sudden rise of the heavenly gate had made the Great Ancient Emperors wary, uniting them briefly because they did not understand the intentions of the Heavenly Court.

Now, with the Heavenly Court revealing its identity and laying out its terms, it was indeed a chance for the Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors to understand the Heavenly Court's true objectives. But it also served as a selection and trial for the Heavenly Court itself.

By setting forth their goals, the Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors would also be forced to make their choices: to support or oppose, to become collaborators with the Heavenly Court, part of its future, or rigid resisters. Everything would become clear.

Better yet, it would be convenient if those wishing to resist, the Great Ancient Emperors, and even more Martial Artists joined forces; the Heavenly Court could more easily identify its enemies and suppress them all together.

The Heavenly Court of the past did not possess such power, but now with many True Immortals, Imperial Honors, and True God Generals about to descend, the Heavenly Court truly commands such might.

“Great tactics, Great Emperor, I admire you,” said the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, his expression freezing for a moment as he clearly came to understand everything.

If it had been before he himself had taken action, when the other party showed this attitude, he might have thought that it was a mere bluff intended to intimidate him, a feint.

But the exchange they had just now had confirmed the ferocity and terrifying strength of the Great Emperor before him.

If the Heavenly Court of the Divine Land World had others similar to him, or even slightly less powerful, the situation would become dire once they descended–facing them might prove too difficult for him and his companions.

The gap in strength was enough to crush all stratagems.

The Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder left. From his arrival at Myriad Laws Mountain until his departure, not even a single day passed, but his heart had undergone countless changes.

Just as Pei Xuanjing had said, he needed to consider his position carefully, whether for or against, he needed to weigh his options earnestly.

He was not alone; behind him stood innumerable disciples and followers. His decision would affect not only his own life and death but theirs as well.

To ascend above all worldly concerns is easy to say, yet how difficult it is to achieve.

Even Pei Xuanjing, who had reached such a realm and appeared so detached from the world, was still a sentient being with family, friends, desires, and he could not truly cut off everything.

If Pei Xuanjing was like this, then it was even more so for the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder. Martial Arts Cultivation placed even greater emphasis on the seven emotions and six desires, so he could not possibly say he did not care about his progeny, especially when he had the power to do something.

Having experienced everything that day, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's mindset underwent a radical change. He knew that the choice he was about to make concerned not only himself but countless others, and even this realm of existence.

“Master, Emperor Tianyang along with a few other Great Emperors are here to visit,” said a disciple.

As discussed between the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder and Pei Xuanjing, his every move had been watched by various Great Ancient Emperors from the moment he set off for the heavenly gate. They were all curious about the outcomes of the Saint Lord's visit.

Especially after the fierce exchange on Myriad Laws Mountain, which caught the attention of these Great Ancient Emperors, they were all speculating that the mysterious Great Emperor who had sparred with the Saint Lord was likely the master of the heavenly gate, the founder of Taoist Skill.

Otherwise, who could it be? After all, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was the oldest and among the most powerful of the Great Ancient Emperors.

These Great Ancient Emperors were eager to know the outcome of their encounter. They wanted to gauge the strength of this enigmatic master of the heavenly gate, as his power would influence their future plans and choices.

Therefore, upon the Saint Lord's return, these Great Ancient Emperors immediately came to visit, among them Emperor Tianyang, who was undoubtedly the most anxious, as he had a direct conflict with the heavenly gate.

“Hmph!” The Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder snorted coldly, his expression unchanged.

This trip to the heavenly gate, regardless of the outcome, was not a pleasant experience for him.

Especially now that he found himself in a quandary, unable to make an immediate decision, he felt nothing but irritation inside.
