The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 840 - 790: Plan Begins, Dawn

Chapter 840: Chapter 790: Plan Begins, Dawn

Human Immortal Path, Earthly Immortal Path, Divine Immortal Path—each breakthrough path had its advantages and disadvantages. Regardless of which one Pei Xuanjing chose to successfully break through and ascend to True Immortal, it would bring about an unimaginable transformation, endowing him with the mighty power to change Heaven and Earth.

“If I remember correctly, if I break through this time, it should be the first time I do so without the aid of the Life Simulator,” the Daoist robe on Pei Xuanjing fluttered, his long hair flying, his brows filled with a resolute expression.

On his journey thus far, it was undoubtedly the Life Simulator that had provided him with considerable assistance, allowing him to accumulate a sufficient foundation, and by leveraging the process of living through simulations to continuously try and err, he could carve out the most accurate path even without guidance.

But this time, there was no clear path forward, or rather, the way ahead was obscure. Pei Xuanjing no longer had much to reference or rely on, and each step forward would require him to grope his way through the darkness alone.

“However, even so, the Life Simulator has laid a deep foundation for me, providing significant help. I mustn’t be too greedy,” he thought to himself.

Even if he could no longer rely on the Life Simulator to break through, it had still saved him abundant time, allowing him enough moments to deduce and derive the path of the Dao.

With an unwavering Dao Heart, he stepped forward. Pei Xuanjing stood amidst the boundless Chaos, his deep eyes filled with unwavering determination. On the path of cultivation, regardless of which path one took, only by maintaining a steadfast heart could one reach the true peak and stabilize the Immortal Path.

The Sanbao Jade Ruyi in his hand rippled with light, slicing through the Chaos, creating streams of Chaotic airflow that annihilated and birthed anew, shredding everything obstructing it, yet unable to inflict the slightest harm on Pei Xuanjing. As the forces neared him, they were extinguished and dissipated by an invisible radiance.

In the Sky Wasteland, Master Tianji sat upon a Great Formation, suddenly opening his eyes. Deep and bright as stars, a terrifying divine light burst forth. A vast and surging aura pulsated around him, stirring up layers of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, and then light emanated from the formation beneath him, a beam of light soaring into the sky, piercing the canopy, and exploding overhead, sweeping in all eight directions.

Almost simultaneously, many of the Supreme Strong stationed at key points of formations throughout the Sky Wasteland—Spirit Realm Eightfold, Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm, even Sixth Level Cultivators—also activated their guarded formation points. Beams of light shot into the firmament, echoing and connecting with lights from other locations, converging across the expanse above the entire Sky Wasteland.

The plan to merge the two realms had begun!

The key to this merging formation wasn’t the formation itself; after all, the formation merely served as a conduit to harness Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and connect to the Original Source of Heaven and Earth, and then to break through Heaven and Earth’s embryonic membrane into the Chaos.

Only because the spans of the Sky Wasteland were vast and limitless, not even a single top-tier force could easily complete these formation points on their own. It was only through the combined efforts of the human race’s numerous forces and the Demon Race that they were able to accomplish this in such a short time. Otherwise, either the human or the Demon Race would need much longer to complete it alone.

Beams of light connected across the firmament to envelop the Sky Wasteland from above, causing tremors throughout, causing mountains to shake, rivers to boil, and the earth to quake as if heralding an apocalypse.

Had it not been for all sides relocating all Cultivators and their human kin into Blessed Lands and Cave Heavens, this single action alone would have resulted in countless Mortal deaths.

The situation grew more intense as if the entire Sky Wasteland was on the verge of inversion. Yet, as the initiator and mover of it all, Master Tianji and the other Supreme Strong showed not a shred of fear. Instead, their eyes sparkled with excitement.

Everything was unfolding as they anticipated; the formation had started moving the Origin of the Sky Wasteland along its currents above the firmament, rapidly gathering and coalescing.

“The Sky Wasteland, the Heaven and Earth where we have dwelled for thousands of years, from today it shall be obliterated,” a Supreme Strong voiced with a touch of sentimentality.

After all, they had lived in the Sky Wasteland for thousands of years; for many Supreme Strong, it represented half a lifetime. Given the current state of the Sky Wasteland, it was inevitable that they would feel a complex mixture of emotions. The formation was already activated, and whether successful or not, there was no going back to what was.

“Hmph, what is there to pity? Why put on such a show,” scoffed a Strong, devoid of any regret. “This world was never truly ours; our Ancestral Land is our root. Our life here has only been a temporary sojourn.”

To them, their homeland would always be the Daming World. They were Cultivators from the Daming World. They had left because the Daming World was not suitable for Cultivators to live in. Now, as the Ancestral Land was reviving, it was only natural for them to return home.

“There’s nothing to lament. This One-Sided World was ultimately flawed and incomplete, devoid of the Will of Heaven and Earth, destined to never ascend. Even if we did nothing, this world was bound for destruction sooner or later. It’s better to integrate it into the Ancestral Land as fodder for the Ascension of Heaven and Earth—merely a change in the manner of existence,” declared another Supreme Strong.

The Sky Wasteland was fundamentally flawed and incomplete, a critical secret until today. Aside from the very top echelon of Supreme Strong, others, even the masters of powerful ancient Holy Lands or kings of ancient countries, were not privy to this knowledge.

Despite its abundant Heaven and Earth Essence Qi enabling many Cultivators to practice with ease, at its core, the Sky Wasteland was deficient, its Heavenly Dao incomplete, and its Will of Heaven and Earth missing for reasons unknown.

The Will of Heaven and Earth was the core of a World. Although lacking sentience, it was fundamental for the operation and Ascension of Heaven and Earth. A World without it could never ascend, dooming it to eventual obliteration.

A World destined for extinction might have little impact on common Cultivators—their lives fleeting compared to Heaven and Earth—but for Supreme Strong, it was different. An imperfect Heaven and Earth that couldn’t ascend meant a complete barrier, preventing them from making any progress, a profound torment.

Originally, for many Supreme Strong, some had already considered leaving the Sky Wasteland to find another World suitable for survival, to prolong their path of Cultivation. Even the uncertain future was better than stagnating here.

Yet coincidentally, the Ancestral Land had begun its revival, offering them a glimmer of hope.
