The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings-Chapter 668 - 618: What Can I Get

Chapter 668: Chapter 618: What Can I Get

Canglang Palace was already considered the major contender by various factions, and many affiliations were absolutely not willing to see the Great Elder of Canglang Palace succeed in breaking through and promoting Canglang Palace to become a top-level power.

Because if that happened, they would be following in the footsteps of Taixu Sect, causing them to lose many of their interests once again. Thus, they didn’t want to see such a situation arise.

Originally, Canglang Palace had five cultivators at the Eighth Level of the Spiritual Realm, and no top-ranked faction could confidently act alone. If all factions joined forces, then they would have to take into account the vague kindness the Taixu Venerable had towards the Great Elder, they wouldn’t dare act rashly.

It can be said that after Pei Xuanjing killed the Master and the Third Supreme Elder of Canglang Palace, and suppressed the Taixu Venerable, this enemy of Canglang Palace, who was previously not given any attention by Pei Xuanjing, was no longer a concern. The factions could operate freely without any inhibitions against Canglang Palace.

Therefore, even after the Great Elder from Canglang Palace received the notification and wisely gave up many benefits, choosing to hunker down within the gates of the mountains, he was besieged by many powerful forces working together.

This supposed enemy, who was not even considered worth Pei Xuanjing’s time, didn’t even have a chance to clash with him. These powerful factions attacked Canglang Palace and broke its gates, massacring its disciples and causing the fall of two Eighth-Level Spiritual Realm elders, and numerous Seventh Level Spiritual Realm cultivators killed. Only the Great Elder managed to escape with a few men after killing two Eighth Level Spiritual Realm cultivators, but he was critically injured.

All of Canglang Palace’s affairs were divided among the factions that attacked, with the Great Elder of Canglang Palace fleeing miserably with a few disciples, and still facing continuous pursuit and assassination.

The conflicts between the powers in Heaven and Earth are so brutal. Even before this golden era of revival fully unfolded, a Nine Realms of the Spiritual Realm cultivator was suppressed, many Eighth-Level Spiritual Realm cultivators fell, and a top-tier power that had lasted for thousands of years was destroyed.

This series of events sent chills down countless people’s spines. They knew that regardless of whether the Immortal Realm appeared this time during the revitalization of Heaven and Earth, this Great World was bound to be extremely cruel, its brutality surpassing any time in the past.

When Pei Xuanjing learned of all this, he received a message from Wu Shijiu, who also told him that the Witch Deity Teaching wanted to pay him a visit.

…

Several months ago, just after Pei Xuanjing had suppressed Taixu Venerable, Wu Shijiu had just returned to Tiandu after witnessing this battle and found that the people from Witch Deity Teaching were present.

With no choice in the matter, Wu Shijiu, who had originated from the Witch Deity Teaching and later defected, was intimately familiar with their unique aura.

He originally planned to kill the cultivator from the Witch Deity Teaching but was caught off guard by a message the latter brought, which led him to call a temporary truce.

According to the message brought by this Seventh-Level Spiritual Realm cultivator from the Witch Deity Teaching, their leader understood Wu Shijiu’s current situation and said that if Wu Shijiu agreed to their terms, they would cease their pursuit and assassination of him, and even allow him to return to the Witch Deity Teaching.

Wu Shijiu initially refused, of course. When he defected, he was chased by many powerhouses from the Witch Deity Teaching and barely escaped with his life. These humiliating experiences were engraved in Wu Shijiu’s heart, and he fantasized about returning to the Witch Deity Teaching to reclaim everything that was rightfully his and to cleanse his disgrace. How could he easily agree to a reconciliation with the Witch Deity Teaching?

However, eventually, Wu Shijiu chose to agree. Despite his reluctancy, they offered him what he desired the most. All he ever wanted was what they promised him when he risked the defection.

So, for now, he chose to keep his enemies closer and agreed to their proposal. He would wait and see how the Leader of Witch Deity Teaching would respond. frёewebηovel.cѳm

“So you brought him to me?” Pei Xuanjing asked, an indescribable smile on his face as he looked at Wu Shijiu.

Being watched by Pei Xuanjing with such a smile, although Pei Xuanjing was not angry, Wu Shijiu dared not slack off in the slightest.

If he had once thought that he could treat Pei Xuanjing as an equal based on his position and power, that idea was shattered when Pei Xuanjing suppressed the Taixu Venerable.

His own power was similar to that of the head of the Canglang Palace, who couldn’t last a few rounds against Pei Xuanjing at his peak. How many rounds could he last against Pei Xuanjing?

Does it make any difference whether there are a few more rounds or a few less?

“Your Excellency misunderstood. I wanted to ask for your help,” Wu Shijiu hurriedly explained with a smile.

Given Pei Xuanjing’s power and status, Wu Shijiu could no longer manipulate or scheme against him. If the Witch Deity Teaching intended to cooperate with the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, Pei Xuanjing would be a crucial factor to their success.

If Pei Xuanjing did not agree or approve their plan, then everything they did would be meaningless and they wouldn’t succeed in the end.

Wu Shijiu was very clear that the leader of the Witch Deity Teaching agreed to his terms because they wanted to win over Pei Xuanjing through him. After all, a Spiritual Realm Eightfold cultivator with the ability to suppress a Nine Realms of Spirit cultivator was very promising. Whether, in the present or the future, this would be immensely helpful to the Witch Deity Teaching.

“And what can I gain from it?” Pei Xuanjing asked directly.

At his level and status, he didn’t need to beat around the bush for many things. He could express himself directly without considering what others would think.

Concerning this matter, although Pei Xuanjing only heard a general idea, he understood that the Great Ming Divine Dynasty had something that the Witch Deity Teaching wanted, and they had offered Wu Shijiu terms that he couldn’t refuse.

For this cooperation, what Pei Xuanjing wanted to know was, since they all got what they wanted, what could he gain from this? This would determine whether he would agree to their cooperation.

Hearing Pei Xuanjing’s question, Wu Shijiu exhaled in relief. Being at Pei Xuanjing’s level, if he didn’t wish to agree, no one could force him.

“Your Excellency, please rest assured. If you agree, the Witch God Sect Leader will personally send a message to discuss this matter with you,” Wu Shijiu said candidly.

Although he was an advocate for this cooperation and worked hard to make it happen, he knew very well that the one who could truly make promises and responses to Pei Xuanjing was not himself, but the Witch God Sect Leader.
