The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1068: Chapters 1016-1017 Life Simulation — Secrets of Heaven and Earth: The Method to Break the Game_2 Chapter 1068: Chapters 1016-1017 Life Simulation — Secrets of Heaven and Earth: The Method to Break the Game_2 Then, over the 10,000 years from ancient times to the present, why have these powerhouses fallen so easily?

Combining all the information, Pei Xuanjing concluded that these powerhouses either concealed themselves behind the scenes to guide Heaven and Earth, or they could not show themselves Between Heaven and Earth for some special reasons.

No matter what the reasons were, there was no doubt that these powerhouses existed Between Heaven and Earth.

With these old monsters hidden in the shadows, even a True Immortal like Xuanjing dared not act too recklessly. After all, his True Immortal Realm was equivalent to the Yang God of this world, capable of shattering the void. Even if he were stronger, he couldn’t be certain he could handle it if a group of powerhouses of the same realm appeared before he fully regained his peak.

Therefore, he needed time to observe and understand the true face of this Heaven and Earth before deciding on his next plans.

Moreover, regardless of being an outsider, Xuanjing didn’t see inherent conflict with these powerhouses; after all, from a certain perspective, they were all of the same kind.

If there were common interests, there is no need to be opponents. Instead, they could cooperate.

“The succession of dynasties, this is the rule established by the Saintly Sages of all sects, and is also a limitation for the Emperor. Perhaps I can take this opportunity to make some probes and plan for some interests,” a divine light flashed in Pei Xuanjing’s eyes as he thought of some things.

According to the rules set by the powerhouses of this world, a dynasty should last between 300 and 500 years.

Yet the current powerful dynasty in Central State, the Da Ye Dynasty, has already reached 330 years, but it remains extremely strong without a hint of decline. This was quite thought-provoking and rubbed some religious sects the wrong way, causing some dissatisfaction.

Ordinarily, at this stage of a mundane dynasty, despite the efforts of successive emperors, the expanding interests within would lead to incessant internal disputes, structural decay, and eventual weakening–the end of the dynasty’s cycle.

But the Da Ye Dynasty was different. Around 270 years after its founding, due to the sudden death of the Emperor of Da Ye without a clear successor as the Crown Prince, the dispute among the exceptional princes led to severe conflicts.

For any dynasty, the struggle for a successor is always critical. Choosing incorrectly could easily lead to the collapse of the dynasty.

At that time, the princes fought fiercely for the throne. Coupled with the secret instigations of various sects, the battle for succession quickly escalated, causing bloodshed throughout the Da Ye Dynasty.

Even though many princes perished, and an obscure prince became the beneficiary, the various sects did not pay much heed to this new Emperor of Da Ye, despite the fact they had supported contenders who failed in this conflict for the throne.

They regarded the new Emperor of Da Ye as merely lucky. Without the former power, the greatly weakened Da Ye Dynasty seemed unable to continue and was on the brink of collapse.

Therefore, the sects began to support their candidates in the shadows as before, preparing for the struggle of succession to overthrow the Da Ye Dynasty and establish a new one.

But sometimes fate plays such jokes. No one expected that this man, whom countless powerhouses thought had ascended to the throne by sheer chance, would become the restorer of the Da Ye Dynasty.

What the sects thought was a dynasty on the verge of collapse was revived by the Emperor who would later be known as Emperor Xuanzong of Da Ye, turned the tide of decline, and brought the Da Ye Dynasty back to prosperity.

As of today, not only has the Da Ye Dynasty shed its former decline, but in these sixty years, it has become even stronger. The dynasty is abundant with powerhouses, eyeing the surrounding states with the intent to conquer other weaker dynasties.

All the Religious Sects, already somewhat dissatisfied, noticed that when Dynasties lasted between 300 to 500 years.

Due to certain past events, they realized that the longer a Dynasty endured, the greater the potential for unexpected issues. Therefore, by an unspoken consensus, they were generally not willing to allow these Dynasties to exceed 300 years.

However, the current resurgence of the Great Ming Dynasty, growing ever more powerful, would necessitate action to prevent it from approaching 400 years, and even nearing a lifespan of 500 years in the future would not be impossible.

When they thought of those Dynasties that had lasted 500 years and, even though ultimately fallen, the power they had unleashed, the Religious Sects grew restless, for the stronger a Dynasty, the more it eluded their control.

Thus, even as the Great Ming Dynasty continued to prosper, the powerhouses of the various Religious Sects grew restless. They began to secretly ally and support ambitious contenders, wishing to overthrow the Great Ming Dynasty and steer everything back onto what they perceived as the correct course.

“Perhaps, this matter of the Great Ming Dynasty is the opportunity for me to intervene in this World and establish my own renown,” a smile flickered across Pei Xuanjing’s face.

The Southern Province where he resided, though named a province, was in fact a large island formed by the connection of numerous massive islands. Despite having many Religious Sects and Dynasties, it paled in comparison not only to the bustling Central State but also to other regions.

This was precisely why Pei Xuanjing, with the strength of a Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal, was able to claim a territory and establish Shenxiao Tao.

After all, being somewhat weaker than other regions, his status as a Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal was considered top-tier in the Cultivation World, and barring some reclusive powerhouses, no one could stop him.

However, the situation would be different in Central State. As the most prosperous region of this World, it naturally had countless powerhouses. If Pei Xuanjing wanted to establish a Religious Sect in Central State, he would be opposed not just by other Sects but also by the Great Ming Dynasty.

After all, at the moment the Great Ming Dynasty was considered the rightful rule of Heaven and Earth, and by that right, many Religious Sects were under its command, just as the peak Ancient Dynasties once controlled the World.

Initially, Pei Xuanjing stayed on the Nan State Island of Southern Province to quietly develop and observe the situation of Heaven and Earth.

But now, over a hundred years had passed, and although he had not yet returned to the True Immortal Realm and was not an invincible powerhouse in this World, he was also qualified to enter Central State, to join this significant event, and to become one of the chess players.

…

After a bout of autumn rain, the searing heat that pervaded Heaven and Earth was swept away, giving way to a refreshing cool, making the bustling city of Da Xing even livelier.

Da Xing City, the Capital city of the Great Ming Dynasty, was recognized as one of the most prosperous cities in the World and could even be called the most flourishing city without contest.

The Great Ming Dynasty, standing for over three hundred years, overlooking the Eight Directions and the four seas, with vast territories, tens of millions of people, millions of soldiers, and numerous powerhouses, was incomparably thriving, earning it the distinction of being the World’s foremost Dynasty, reminiscent of the shadow of Ancient Dynasties.

Now, after 330 years since the Dynasty’s founding, the Great Ming Dynasty, which should have been declining, experienced a resurgence under the diligent policies of Emperor Xuanzong and seemed reborn.

As Emperor Xuanzong’s heir had been on the throne for nearly thirty years, following the ancestral regulations of the Dynasty’s founder, which stated that no Emperor should reign for more than thirty years, the time for the eleventh Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty to abdicate was imminent.

The succession of the throne was still undetermined, not because the Emperor’s sons were incompetent but quite the opposite; they were all exceedingly distinguished, making it difficult for him to choose a successor.
