The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings-Chapter 968 - - s Open Scheme Borrowing a Chicken
Chapter 968: Chapters 916-917 Open Scheme Borrowing a Chicken to Lay Eggs Two in One_2 Chapter 968 -s 916-917 Open Scheme Borrowing a Chicken to Lay Eggs Two in One_2 The matter was thus decided, and Zhu Houji would soon select a few Spirit Realm Cave Heavens to be retained for the use of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, with the rest to be traded as bargaining chips to exchange for the allegiance of other immortal sects and many of the strongest powerhouses, drawing them into his camp.
Originally, Pang Hong’s plan was to unite all parties, and now with the aid of these Spirit Realm Cave Heavens, his plan was undoubtedly given wings to soar.
In what followed, they prepared to discuss the specifics of their operation in greater detail, matters in which Pei Xuanjing no longer needed to involve himself.
Whether it was the Shenxiao Sect or the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, there might not be many at the top tier of combat strength, but there was no shortage of people with wisdom and cunning; Pei Xuanjing need not be personally involved in everything.
Pei Xuanjing left with these few individuals and wandered through the entirety of the Spirit Realm Cave Heavens, perusing each palace, observing the Dao marks left by Cultivators from the era of the Ancient Human Race Common Master.
To Pei Xuanjing, these Dao marks represented a significant gain, for after contemplating them, he could obtain many Taoyun points. Though not numerous, the accumulation from so many palaces within the Spirit Realm Cave Heavens amounted to a considerable sum of Taoyun points.
For Pei Xuanjing at this moment, the Taoyun points that the skill of Heaven and Earth could bring him paled in comparison to the ones needed for one round of the Life Simulator.
Time passed, and Pei Xuanjing walked through palace after palace, contemplating the Taoyun points.
One day, Zhu Houji came before Pei Xuanjing alone.
“It appears Your Majesty has something to ask of me?” Pei Xuanjing said, looking at Zhu Houji before him.
Zhu Houji bowed slightly in respect and then asked for guidance, “To this day, I, your disciple, have reached the Nine Realms of Spirit and begun to explore the Immortal Dao Realm. However, there remain some doubts in my heart, and I hope Master Pei can provide some guidance.”
At this moment, Zhu Houji was respectful and sincere, as if he had shed his imperial identity and appeared before Pei Xuanjing merely as an ordinary disciple, seeking guidance on matters of cultivation from his teacher.
Pei Xuanjing said with a smile, “Could it be that you are hesitating whether to focus solely on the Dao of Spirit Immortals or the Earth Immortal Path?”
Since Zhu Houji had come to him as a disciple, Pei Xuanjing naturally would not address him as Your Majesty, treating him instead as his own disciple and resolving his doubts as such.
In fact, as soon as Pei Xuanjing had learned about Zhu Houji’s acquisition of the Spirit Realm Cave Heaven, he had already guessed this point.
“Indeed, as a disciple, I started my cultivation following the God Refining Skill, and later, as lord of the Divine Dynasty, gathering the Force of Faith Incense to practice, I should follow the Dao of Spirit Immortals just like Master Pei. Even with the support of the Divine Dynasty, it seems that the consolidation of Divine Position has reached its ultimate state, unable to evolve further,” Zhu Houji spoke of the perplexities in his heart.
He was the lord of the Divine Dynasty, wielding the Golden Book and Jade Scroll, able to bestow upon himself an Imperatorial God Position of the highest divine order. But even so, he found that the ultimate state of the Divine Position he conferred was merely the Spiritual Realm Level Nine Strongest.
At this stage, his Divine Position seemed to have reached an absolute limit, incapable of further transformation.
He should have been looking for a solution to this predicament, but it was at this time when he discovered the Spirit Realm Cave Heaven of the Ancient Human Race Common Master, refining this domain’s authority and seeing another path unfold before him.
Thus, the dilemma arose whether to continue upon the Dao of Spirit Immortals or to change to the Earth Immortal Path, becoming the puzzle in his heart.
He had already encountered an impasse on the Dao of Spirit Immortals, and breaking through was no easy task. Although the Earth Immortal Path seemed a clear road ahead, in reality, as far as he could see, his foundation in the Earth Immortal Path was still lacking, not as flawless as he had anticipated.
“The Dao of Spirit Immortals and the Earth Immortal Path, both paths to enlightenment are righteous. For you, it’s not necessarily about abandoning one over the other; why not advance in both concurrently?” Pei Xuanjing countered with a question.
“Master Pei, don’t jest. With my talent, stepping onto the path of cultivation was possible only with Master Pei’s guidance and assistance. Cultivating both paths would be an impossible feat for your disciple,” Zhu Houji said with a bitter smile.
The saying “biting off more than one can chew” certainly applies here. Although Zhu Houji was aware that if he could ascend to True Immortal by cultivating both paths at once, his power would be immense, he also understood just how dauntingly difficult dual cultivation was.
With his own talent, reaching the current level of power in his realm was not only lucky but also driven by various opportunities that propelled his strength.
However, the bottom line was that Zhu Houji was already struggling with the cultivation of either path on its own, let alone both simultaneously, and he had become acutely aware of the gap between himself and those cultivators with exceptional talents.
“Why joke about such a matter, I wouldn’t be so assertive if I wasn’t confident. This isn’t unfounded speculation,” Pei Xuanjing said, shaking his head slightly.
“Please advise me, Master Pei,” Zhu Houji’s eyes lit up as he quickly asked.
He had profound trust in Pei Xuanjing; otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to consult with him regarding choices critical to his future cultivation path.

He had considered dual cultivation before, but it seemed somewhat unrealistic, so he had dismissed the idea, which is why he thought Pei Xuanjing was joking when he mentioned it.
But now, hearing Pei Xuanjing’s serious confirmation, Zhu Houji’s trust in him rekindled a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Pei Xuanjing smiled and said, “Let’s talk about the Dao of Spirit Immortals. You entered the Dao with the God Refining Skill, and your cultivation has improved through the Force of Faith Incense. You are indeed on the path of Immortals. If you now feel that the road ahead is bleak, it’s merely because your Divine Position has reached its limit, preventing further transformation.”
The Golden Book and Jade Scroll of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty could enfeoff Divine Positions, but even the top-quality Golden Book and Jade Scroll could at most enfeoff a position at the Ninefold Spiritual Realm of the Strongest. This was true both for the Divine Position Zhu Houji occupied and for the Jade Purity True Monarch position Pei Xuanjing originally held.
The reason Pei Xuanjing was able to ascend to the True Immortal Realm on the path of Immortals, raising his Divine Position from a simplified Jade Purity True Monarch to the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, was all thanks to the existence of the Life Simulator. It allowed him to endlessly perfect his authority in a life simulation.
But Zhu Houji was different; he was constrained. He was made and undone by the Golden Book and Jade Scroll. Pei Xuanjing was able to perfect his authority and break free from constraints, but the princes could not break the shackles of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll to ascend further.
Or rather, not just Zhu Houji, but anyone in the Great Ming Divine Dynasty who refined a Divine Position would face this predicament, bound by the Golden Book and Jade Scroll.
In the future, if they wished to progress, they had to either perfect their authority to transcend their Divine Position or abandon it; otherwise, they would be eternally stagnant.
“So, if I want to ascend now, I need to find a way to break the bond and improve the level of my Divine Position? How titanically difficult that is!” Zhu Houji’s mouth twitched at the thought.
He had also attempted to perfect his authority but found it virtually impossible.
Even with the top-quality Golden Book and Jade Scroll of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, which could enfeoff strong Divine Positions, it was still not possible to return to the peak moments of the ancient Divine Dynasties.
Those former rulers of Divine Dynasties wielded immense power; their words were the law, and their decrees were followed without question, quelling Heaven and Earth, and making various sects bow down and retreat.
But he couldn’t do that, because the Great Ming Divine Dynasty had taken shortcuts from the beginning. Even though he later solidified its foundation, making it as powerful as the ancient Divine Dynasties, he could never reach their status.
Because Heaven and Earth had ascended, and True Immortals of eternal life had emerged, any one of these True Immortals possessed enough might to obliterate the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. Thus, no matter how Zhu Houji tried to perfect his imperial authority, it was futile.
Pei Xuanjing was also aware of this, but since he brought it up, he naturally had a plan in mind; otherwise, why mention it?
“The constraints of Heaven and Earth prevented the emergence of True Immortals and also limited the enfeoffment of the Golden Book and Jade Scroll. Now that Heaven and Earth have ascended and True Immortals have appeared, the top-quality Golden Book and Jade Scroll can enfeoff Divine Positions at the Ninefold Spiritual Realm and create a pinnacle Divine Dynasty. So, if the Golden Book and Jade Scroll could undergo transformation, could they enfeoff a Divine Position at the True Immortal level?” Pei Xuanjing’s words resonated with lingering intent.
