The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings-Chapter 687 - 637: The Strongest of All Forces

Chapter 687: Chapter 637: The Strongest of All Forces

The Witch God Sect Leader was correct. While Pei Xuanjing had some understanding of the many top forces in the Sky Wasteland, he wasn’t entirely familiar with these extremely formidable beings.

After all, the height at which those in the Ninth Level of the Spirit Realm stood was the highest peak between Heaven and Earth. Ordinary cultivators had no chance, or rather, they had no qualifications to contact them. As for information about these powerful beings, Pei Xuanjing could not easily obtain it from other sources.

Even for a power like the Great River Ancient Country, they wanted to make in-roads with Pei Xuanjing, but he didn’t understand much about these powerful beings. For them, he knew mostly just their names without much other understanding.

Now that the Witch God Sect Leader was willing to speak on his behalf, Pei Xuanjing naturally would not refuse.

Their gazes calmly swept around the surroundings where many powerful beings were gathered. The Witch God Sect Leader spoke softly to Pei Xuanjing.

“In this world, all the top forces must have the most potent beings defending them. Apart from the Taixu Sect, which is a newly emerging top force presided over by the Taixu Venerable whom you suppressed, all other top forces have at least two mighty beings holding their fort.”

Pei Xuanjing nodded, indicating his understanding. If he didn’t know this, he wouldn’t have chosen to target the Taixu Venerable directly to establish his majesty. After all, if there was a second Ninth Level Spirit Realm being in the Taixu Sect, he would have been unable to confront two Ninth Level Spirit Realm beings.

The Witch God Sect Leader continued, “In fact, there aren’t many powerful beings in this world. Apart from some independents, the rest of the powerful beings mostly originate from top forces, such as the nine major sects of the Righteous Path, the five holy lands of the Buddha Way, the six great demonic sects of the Demonic Cult, and forces like our Witch God Sect which do not belong to either the Righteous Path or the Demonic Way. These forces, together with the independent powerful cultivators, total less than a hundred…”

The Ninth Level of the Spirit Realm – one step and you ascend to heaven. It’s not a joke. Cultivation becomes increasingly difficult.

Don’t think that Pei Xuanjing has encountered many cultivators at the Seventh or Eighth Level of the Spirit Realm, or even the powerful beings of the Ninth Level of the Spirit Realm. It’s only because of his strength.

For most ordinary cultivators, each step in their cultivation is not easy. There are no shortcuts to progress.

Even in the Sky Wasteland, where the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi is abundant and makes breaking through the Spirit Realm very easy, the subsequent climb to the peak of cultivation is extremely difficult, or should be said, as challenging as ascending to heaven.

The leap from the Third Level of the Spirit Realm to the Fourth Level forms a hurdle, blocking the path of countless cultivators.

Similarly, stepping from the Sixth Level of the Spirit Realm into the Seventh Level requires comprehension and refining of one’s Taoist Foundation. This too has blocked the path of countless cultivators.

Even after entering the Seventh Level of the Spirit Realm, one can ascend to Heaven. But, in reality, every step of advancement is extremely difficult. Without talent or great perseverance and great opportunities, there is no chance at all.

Despite all this, when Pei Xuanjing heard this number, he felt a sense of kinship. Simply considering the number of cultivators in the Sky Wasteland, let alone the Daming World, and further understanding that many of these powerful beings were old monsters who existed during the great wars of the Tang Dynasty, one can imagine how rare these beings from the Ninth Level of the Spirit Realm really are.

“Among the world’s top forces, Xuantian Sect from the Righteous Path has at least two Ninth-Level Spirit Realm beings besides its Sect Master. Rumor has it that a fourth Ninth-Level Spirit Realm being exists within Xuantian Sect, but whether it’s true or false, even I don’t know,” the Witch God Sect Leader said, communicating with Pei Xuanjing.

As he heard the Witch God Sect Leader’s words, Pei Xuanjing cast a glance from the corners of his eyes at the unremarkable middle-aged man seated on the platform to his upper left, and became curious.

The middle-aged man sitting on the platform to the upper left was the Sect Master of Xuantian Sect.

Pei Xuanjing, who had long been familiar with the Sky Wasteland, knew that Xuantian Sect was currently recognized as the number one force in the Sky Wasteland. The seemingly unremarkable middle-aged man had power comparable to the Witch God Sect Leader, and belonged to the Overlords of the Spirit Realm Ninth Level.

Xuantian Sect, with three Ninth-Level Spirit Realm beings to suppress the world, was the main force of the human race against the Demon Race. However, Pei Xuanjing was surprised to hear the Witch God Sect Leader reveal such a secret today. There might still be a fourth powerful being within the Xuantian Sect, which was truly horrifying!

The Witch God Sect Leader waited for Pei Xuanjing to process this information. When he first heard this news, he was also shocked and became even more wary of Xuantian Sect.

After all, sometimes there can be no smoke without fire. At their level, if news reached their ears, it wouldn’t be groundless. Hence, before confirming it, the Witch God Sect Leader also adopted the belief of better to believe it than not.

Using the opportunity when the Witch God Sect Leader let out the information, he said, “Following this, the second powerful force among the Righteous Path, the State Master should be very familiar with, as he also has close relations with their descendants in the ancestral land.”

“Dragon Tiger Mountain?” Pei Xuanjing immediately asked back.

In Sky Wasteland, having inheritance and also belonging to the top forces, and being an acquaintance of his, it seemed that except for Dragon Tiger Mountain, there were no other forces.

“Correct!” The Witch God Sect Leader affirmed.

Pei Xuanjing asked doubtfully, “But from what I’ve heard, apart from the Ancestor Celestial Master, Dragon Tiger Mountain only has another Ninth Level Spirit Realm being. Many other forces have three Ninth Level Spirit Realm beings, so why is Dragon Tiger Mountain second?”

The Witch God Sect Leader laughed lightly, “Of course it’s all because of the existence of the Ancestor Celestial Master. He is an antique from the Divine Han era. He wields the Yin-Yang Evil-Slaying Treasure Sword, as well as the Yangping Zhidu Seal – the two top-grade divine magical treasures. He has killed powerful demon beings of the Ninth Level Spirit Realm. Who dares to underestimate a figure with such an achievement? If it wasn’t for Dragon Tiger Mountain only having two powerful beings, the position of the world’s top sect would have belonged to Dragon Tiger Mountain.”

Even the Witch God Sect Leader held no contempt for the Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Ancestor Celestial Master. He was an antique who had risen to power in the Divine Han era, initiated the Orthodox Zhengyi Doctrine, established a teaching sect, defeated the Six Heavenly Ghosts, and suppressed innumerable beings. Only those who had personally witnessed him in action could know how terrifying he was.

If it hadn’t been for the Dragon Tiger Mountain’s lack of successors, with just the power of the Ancestor Celestial Master, if there was one more powerful figure, the position of the world’s top sect would have surely belonged to the Dragon Tiger Mountain.
