The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings-Chapter 855 - 805 Northern Black Emperor

Chapter 855: Chapter 805 Northern Black Emperor

Cause and effect are cyclical, the rotation of Yin and Yang—these are inconvenient eternal truths.

Those who practice Water Dao Skills cannot possibly condense the Laws of the Fire Dao, and cultivators of the Thunder Dao would not have initially built their foundation with Earth attribute skills.

All in all, at the very moment a cultivator begins their journey into the Spirit Realm and selects their skill, their eventual path has almost been determined.

Perhaps for the individual cultivator, they may encounter obstacles, setbacks, or grand opportunities during their cultivation process, leading them to abandon their current path and convert to another. However, such cases are few and far between for the majority of cultivators, no more than one in ten million.

Moreover, even if an individual cultivator encounters an opportunity that allows them to reshape their foundation and change their path, for a power, especially a top-tier power, their foundation has virtually been set in stone from the moment they establish their sect, beyond the possibility of major changes.

Even if a top-tier power were to gain inheritance of a powerful system, their first step would be to attempt to integrate this inheritance into their own. Only if this fails would they consider starting a separate lineage.

...

But that is all there is to it; they definitely would not replace the foundational inheritance of their sect even if they obtained another powerful system’s inheritance. Lesser powers might, but top-tier powers definitely would not.

Because their existing inheritance system has already forged the foundation of a top-tier power and has been proven successful, there is no need for them to gamble like the lesser powers. In fact, such a gamble is the most dangerous for top-tier powers. What if there is an unknown danger within this inheritance? Centuries of foundation could be destroyed in an instant.

Thus, the foundational system of each top-tier power is complete, with the most widely circulated and practiced disciplines by their disciples forming their core paths.

Although they are reluctant to share their most core secrets, Pei Xuanjing could still infer their respective paths to becoming immortal by observing the cultivation skills they practice at the Spirit Realm.

“Xuantian Sect, the leader of the Righteous Path, outwardly professes alignment with the Taoist School, but in fact, this Xuantian Sect is not quite so. Its origins should be more than meets the eye,” Pei Xuanjing thought with a smile after reviewing those skills in Xuantian Sect.

Xuantian, meaning the mysterious heavens, naturally refers to the sky in the north. And who governs the northern sky?

From the perspective of the Taoist School, it should naturally be the Northern Black Emperor, the Five Qi Xuan Lao, the Black Emperor Wuling of the north. However, Pei Xuanjing could see that Xuantian Sect, although appearing to be of the Taoist School, does not actually belong to it, suggesting that its origin predates the Taoist School, undeniably bringing to mind another interpretation of Xuantian.

Xuantian, as the northern sky, and having Xuantian in its name naturally means it is the northern sky. According to legend, the northern sky is ruled by two emperors: aside from the pre-existing Black Emperor Wuling Xuan Lao of the Taoist School, there is also the human emperor Zhuanxu, who, born from the human race, ascended to the northern divine position through human worship.

Combining the ancient inheritance of Xuantian Sect, which existed before the rise of the Taoist School, with its likelihood, Xuantian Sect might very well be the lineage descendant of the ancient human Emperor Zhuanxu.

Of course, all this is just Pei Xuanjing’s speculation about the origins of Xuantian Sect and has yet to be fully confirmed.

However, combining these two speculations with Xuantian Sect’s fundamental skills, Pei Xuanjing could roughly guess that the sect’s supreme strong should be pursuing one of two directions: the Earthly Immortal Path or the Heavenly Immortal Path.

No matter what others think, at this moment, Pei Xuanjing divides the paths to ascending to true immortality of the countless supreme strong between Heaven and Earth according to the Way of the Five Immortals of Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost that he himself has resonated with.

If Xuantian Sect truly is the lineage descendant of the ancient Black Emperor Zhuanxu, their dwelling, the Xuantian Cave-Heaven Paradise, is far from ordinary. Over the years, it has likely been refined to the utmost degree, and the innumerable disciples and followers of Xuantian Sect, as well as the citizens they protect, all adhere to Xuantian Sect’s commands.

Waiting for the moment of Heaven and Earth Ascension, breaking the last constraints, raising Xuantian Cave World to a world of Xuantian. As long as a Supreme Strong is willing to merge with the world, they can possess many traits of an Earthly Immortal and transform into a True Immortal of the Earthly Immortal Path.

Of course, for Pei Xuanjing, such Earthly Immortal Taoist Fruit is also within reach, but for the current Pei Xuanjing, it is only the weakest path. He holds the Longevity World in his hands, differing from Xuantian Sect in that there are too few beings in Longevity World to foster a complete and civilized system. Even if he were to merge with Longevity World, it would take a long time to develop, better not to hurry this step.

If Xuantian Sect truly is, as they claim, of the Taoist School, then they might very well be following the Heavenly Immortal Way. Over the years, generations of powerhouses have carried on the legacy, and it is likely that Xuantian Sect’s Refining Qi methods have been perfected countless times and already deduced how to become a True Immortal countless times.

This is inheritance; this is the essence that top-tier powers have accumulated over millennia. Even though Pei Xuanjing has established the Taoist Academy and has countless disciples to assist, it still takes a long time to accumulate knowledge about these core matters.

Sometimes time is insignificant for cultivation, yet at other times it is extremely important.

Pei Xuanjing has achieved great power and realm in a short period, but it is impossible to make up for the lack of knowledge and understanding in such a brief timeframe.

As for the cultivation methods of the Sword Sect, after sparring with many of the Sect’s powerhouses and reviewing the Sword Sect’s scriptures, Pei Xuanjing knew without much thought that the path to enlightenment for the Sect’s powerhouses is likely the Heavenly Immortal Way, characterized by a sword that breaks through Myriad Laws and cleaves the heavens.

If one can truly ascend to the True Immortal Realm, the terrifying combat power of the Sword Way is probably not inferior to that of a Human Immortal who opens their personal cosmos and the larger cosmos.

In Pei Xuanjing’s view, each class of the Way of the Five Immortals of Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost has its unique strengths, with Human Immortals likely being the most formidable in combat. However, in terms of deducing secrets, preserving life, and comprehending the Great Tao, they fall behind other classes. While the Heavenly Immortal Way is not lacking in combat, its strengths lie in other areas, being slightly inferior to the Human Immortal Path in terms of pure combat power.

Nevertheless, based on Pei Xuanjing’s understanding of the Sword Way, if one can ascend to the True Immortal Realm and elevate the Sword Way, then in terms of attack power, it might be on par with that of a typical Human Immortal.
