The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 1525

Chapter 1525: Chapters 1472-1473: Delusional Obsession, Supreme Strong Teaches Son_2 Chapter 1525: Chapters 1472-1473: Delusional Obsession, Supreme Strong Teaches Son_2 This Supreme Overlord thought to himself that once the news spread, those True Immortals and Supreme Overlords on par with True Immortals would clearly understand the message, as after all, none of those who have reached this point in their cultivation were fools.

In the Shenxiao Sect, if any matter was to succeed without the permission of the Sect Leader or the Ancestral Master, it simply meant that the matter was doomed to fail.

Thus, these True Immortals, upon seeing such a selection by the Sect Leader, should have understood his attitude and would decisively give up this idea.

The position of Sect Leader in the Shenxiao Sect was indeed tempting to the True Immortals, since it involved supreme authority and Qi Luck, but it was not indispensable.

If Pang Hong had given up the position of Sect Leader without any instructions, it would mean he didn't mind these True Immortals succeeding him, and they naturally wouldn't hesitate to compete for the position, trying to leverage its authority for their cultivation.

But now, Pang Hong's attitude had become quite clear, almost explicitly telling them not to participate in this competition. If they still shamelessly continued to fight, they would not only fail to win but might also displease the Sect Leader, a scenario they all wished to avoid.

These True Immortals, within the Shenxiao Sect, held far more authority than ordinary Supreme Strong individuals or Supreme Overlords. Each of them, capable of certifying as a True Immortal or comparable to one, were elders who had existed since the early rise of the Shenxiao Sect.

These powerful individuals understood better than the later generations of Supreme Strong individuals that there was a deep master-disciple relationship between Sect Leader Pang Hong and the Ancestral Master, Lord Long, who didn't care about the affairs of the sect at all, entrusting everything to Pang Hong. Therefore, Sect Leader Pang Hong could fully represent the will of the Ancestral Master.

Therefore, when this news was conveyed, these True Immortals had decisively given up the idea and would not invest any energy or resources in a matter doomed to fail.

Even if there were implications that suggested their participation, it was most probably just for show, a process to pave the way for the next generation's Sect Leader.

If it were any other immortal sect, even if it involved Supreme Strong individuals assuming leadership, that would be one thing, but enabling True Immortals to pave the way for Supreme Strong individuals would be absolutely impossible; yet, the Shenxiao Sect had the full capability to do so.

Thus, although this Supreme Strong cultivator from the Shenxiao Sect's cultivator family knew some secrets and guessed many things, he ultimately couldn't see through everything. He still thought these True Immortals would compete fiercely or give up outright, never imagining that such dignified True Immortals would one day be performing perfunctorily.

And when this Supreme Strong individual clarified all this to his offspring, his face lit up with joy, exclaiming with surprise, “Father, if that's the case, doesn't that mean you too might have a chance…”

He didn't finish his sentence, but the implication was obvious.

After all, according to his father's words, the most qualified True Immortals and Supreme Overlords had been invisibly excluded, leaving many Supreme Strong individuals and Supreme Overlords to compete, thus his father might also have an opportunity.

Considering his own father was also a Supreme Strong individual, although still a step away from Supreme Overlord, their family's powerful influence could certainly be a helpful force in ascending to leadership.

Should his father really ascend to the position of Sect Leader, then attaining True Immortal status might be likely, and both he and his entire family could rise to great heights, bestowing blessings upon the family.

“Idiotic delusions! Are you seeking death? If you wish to die, go find death yourself, do not drag the entire family down with you!” Hearing his offspring's words, the Supreme Strong individual showed no pleasure. Rather, his offspring's flattering words seemed to touch some taboo, causing him to suddenly change color with rage and scold angrily.

“Father!” This cultivator from the Spirit Realm Eighth Layer Heaven, counted among the strong individuals in the universe, was also considered a pillar within the Shenxiao Sect.

However, as he heard his father's reprimand, he was also taken aback and could only softly call out “Father” without daring to retort in the slightest.

After all, this Supreme Strong had supreme authority within the family, and not even his offspring dared to act recklessly before him.

Despite thinking that he merely wanted to flatter and stay with his father, he hadn't expected to be chastised and called a fool, provoking an inevitable sense of defiance in his heart. He refrained from arguing solely because he feared his father's usual authority, but that defiance was unmistakable.

The Supreme Strong could clearly see the defiance on his offspring's face, aware that he must explain things clearly and not ignore what seemed like a trivial matter, as it could potentially bring a catastrophic disaster upon them.

“Do you think that just because many True Immortals aren't participating in the struggle for the Sect Leader's position, and the Sect Leader might only be chosen from among the many Supreme Strong and Supreme Overlords, there is a slight chance for your father?” he asked in a deep voice.

“Isn't it? With many Supreme Strong not appearing, given father's strength and our family's influence, isn't there a chance to contend for it? If it truly could make father ascend to Sect Leader's position. Not to mention the Supreme Overlord Realm which father struggles to break through, even a True Immortal could easily be captured and certified!”

“Haha, foolish. My strength, our family's influence.” The Supreme Strong, with a touch of disdain, snorted and counter-questioned, “How strong do you think my strength is, and how much influence does our family have within the sect?”

Seeing his offspring now silent but still somewhat defiant, he counter-questioned, “Not to mention so much, do you even know how many Supreme Strong and Supreme Overlords there are in the Shenxiao Sect?”

“My son does not know!” The offspring shook his head.

Although he was of Spirit Realm Eighth Layer Heaven, within the Shenxiao Sect, he was just a junior, hardly a core figure.

The Shenxiao Sect had developed over ten thousand years, with countless disciples and infinite world fortuitous opportunities, how many Supreme Strong and Supreme Overlords had the Shenxiao Sect amassed, aside from the most core True Immortals and some high-level existences within the Shenxiao Sect, even ordinary cultivators, including the Supreme Strong, didn't know an exact number.

“Not even knowing how many Supreme Strong and Supreme Overlords there are, yet daring to speak nonsense.” The Supreme Strong disparagingly said, “Let me tell you, there are at least more than ten thousand! And where does your father rank among these ten thousand Supreme Strong? Can he enter the top thousand? Perhaps not even the top three thousand!”

“Are there really so many Supreme Strong?” The Spirit Realm Eighth Layer Heaven cultivator was also utterly shocked.

Even as a junior, being born when the Shenxiao Sect was already the top immortal sect in this world, he knew the Shenxiao Sect had accumulated a powerful foundation with many strong individuals, but he had not imagined such a staggeringly high number.

And his father, whom he usually considered an invincible existence, was not even among the higher echelons or perhaps not even securely within the middle tier among so many Supreme Strong, which was truly hard to accept.

“This is still an underestimate; the actual number of Supreme Strong would only be more, not less.” The Supreme Strong coldly snorted.

True Immortal Strong are one in a thousand, meaning only one True Immortal emerges from several thousand Supreme Strong, so the large number of True Immortals in the Shenxiao Sect alone exceeds this estimate.

Of course, that's not how the calculation is done, but this was also a reasonable explanation. Although he was a Supreme Strong, he was only six thousand years into his lifespan, not even reaching seven thousand compared to the truly old strong ones of the Shenxiao Sect, still lacking over three thousand years.
