The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1568: Chapters 1516–1517: At All Costs Chapter 1568: Chapters 1516–1517: At All Costs Cultivators vie with the heavens, the earth, fellow man, and themselves!

Although the path of cultivation is said to be about following the heavens and serving the people, the continuous transformation of life is in itself a rebellious path, a battle to be fought.

Battle!

This word has already invisibly pervaded a cultivator’s life. Without fighting, how could they ever have reached the realms they stand in today?

Even True Monarch Qingyang himself, though he speaks of learning to evade and forbear, when faced with an opportunity too hard to give up, wouldn’t he struggle for it?

How could that not be!

No True Immortal has ever achieved their status by the charity of others. Even if, in many people’s eyes, it might seem like Strong Cultivators such as True Monarch Qingyang and Yu Zhenzi only achieved true immortality because the Longevity Taoist Monarch helped them greatly.

But such help simply gave them more opportunities, and in the end, they needed to fight for themselves, to struggle and persevere.

Therefore, although these disciples of the Taoist Academy truly respect True Monarch Qingyang as the Vice Dean from the bottom of their hearts, they would not actually heed his words to retreat from this trial.

Perhaps there are cultivators who can reach such realms without competing, but for the supreme strong who have come here today, eligible to partake in the trials of the Myriad Laws Realm, they are not of that kind.

They have come here for the opportunistic fortunes of the Myriad Laws Realm, to vie for the chance to become Tao-Certifying True Immortals, to fight for a future for themselves.

It should be known that for these disciples from the Taoist Academy, as long as they do not err, they can always remain within the academy, enjoying its shelter.

As an academy founded by the Longevity Taoist Monarch, and because of the academy’s unique attributes, it is almost the most peaceful and safe place in this world. If they were truly content with their current situation, then they would have no need to come here.

“Off you go!” True Monarch Qingyang’s gaze swept over these people, and then with a wave of his sleeve, he signified that they could leave to head to the trial grounds.

They say with age comes cunning, and a character like him, having lived for so many years and sitting in the position of Vice Dean of the Taoist Academy, has a clear insight into many matters, practically nothing can easily elude him.

He could see that the words he had just spoken had not truly entered their hearts or even if they had understood his intentions, they would not abandon their original thoughts because their goal was precisely such.

“You lot have never truly lived through that Taoist Monarch’s era, nor do you know what kind of personality the other party had,” he murmured to himself as he watched their departing figures.

Although these people had lived for thousands of years, none had truly experienced and witnessed the legendary rise of the Longevity Taoist Monarch, and were unaware of the other’s way of conducting things.

Indeed, the Longevity Taoist Monarch is a figure sung and extolled by many, a character of an Ancestral Master level who forged paths, but that does not mean this Taoist Monarch was so-called ‘good’. After all, how could a strong personality who has reached this point be described merely as ‘good’?

What the other party said should not be ignored. Since the rules were made so clear, it indicates that this trial will be anything but simple, and quite likely, it may be even more severe than what has been stated–cruel beyond imagination.

Not only Zhao Baiyang and True Monarch Qingyang, these two Strong Cultivators arrange thus for their subordinates and disciples, allowing them to follow their own ideas, without the need for overthinking.

The various immortal sects, powers, and True Immortal strong ones mostly give similar instructions to their disciples, unless they are left with no other choice, no other opportunities, pushing all their chips in for a last desperate bet, encouraging their disciples to do their utmost.

In the absence of other options, to seize every opportunity and make the best effort, this is the survival law of many independent practitioners and smaller powers, and only in this way can they truly seize the opportunity to rise.

Perhaps for major powers, they have many choices, but for ordinary powers, their opportunities are not plentiful, and even chances like the Myriad Laws Realm trial seem once-in-a-lifetime.

Indeed, to some powers, this trial seems like the Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing’s plotting, an open scheme which they could not help but be forced to join.

Even if many powers harbor other ideas in their hearts, wishing to use the chance to fathom their opponents’ trump cards, it should be out of their own volition, not someone else’s guidance.

Thus even if there was an opportunity to scout the opponent’s trump cards, many powers are not fond of this trial and harbor many dissatisfactions, but they participate reluctantly because the trial was initiated by the Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing, and they could do nothing against him.

Of course, aside from those powers that instruct their disciples to do their best, there are also some forces that have one sole demand of their subordinates: to obtain at all costs the object of their quest.

“Remember the purpose of your journey, we are the people of His Majesty, and this mission is to help His Majesty capture the Great Law Decree Technique. Do not care about this chance, as long as you can aid His Majesty in reclaiming the Great Law Decree Technique, the rewards when His Majesty regains authority will undoubtedly be incomparable to what this trial can offer,” a True Immortal under the command of the Jade Emperor said solemnly to the numerous supreme strong before him.
