The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1943: Chapter 1888–1889: All or Nothing, Pulling Chestnuts Out of the Fire (Part 2)

“It seems the Heterodox Alliance is truly anxious, wishing for all parties to take action immediately,” Smoke Mist Master said softly.

Regarding this matter, the Buddhism School might misunderstand, but the Heterodox Alliance is undoubtedly well aware.

Even if they don’t know which force took action, they are absolutely clear that it wasn’t their own people who did it.

In such a situation, pretending not to know and taking this matter upon themselves actually proves that the Heterodox Alliance understands they can’t hold on for long and need new forces to take action.

“Should we continue to take action?” The Elder of the Smoke Mist Sect asked.

They took action to gain benefits and fish in troubled waters, but if the Heterodox Alliance couldn’t hold up, stepping in would mean directly confronting the Buddhism School.

“Strike, why not strike!” Smoke Mist Master sneered.

“But you said, the Heterodox Alliance might not be able to hold on?”

“It’s precisely because they can’t hold on that we should take action. If we allow the Buddhism School to easily suppress the Heterodox Alliance, do you think the Buddhism School will stop there?” Coldness glimmered in Smoke Mist Master’s eyes.

It’s no longer the past, when all forces were balanced, and everyone could expand worlds and plunder interests from the Realms of Heavenly Seas. But now, the interests aren’t enough to go around, and a great war is imminent.

For major immortal sects, they want to break the top immortal sects’ monopoly to seize interests. So, for the top immortal sects, why wouldn’t they want to cut up and devour these major immortal sects to make up for their own interests?

Not to mention other immortal sects, with the Buddhism School’s dominance, they will naturally continue to expand and strengthen themselves.

It’s only because the Heterodox Alliance trapped and killed several Arhat Venerates of the Buddhism School and because Zhao Baiyang’s ascension as a Taoist Monarch posed a threat to the Buddhism School that they united with the Heavenly Court to deal with the Heterodox Alliance.

If the Heterodox Alliance hadn’t borne the brunt, when the great war truly breaks out, the Buddhism School would first deal with all the forces, including the Smoke and Mist Sacred Land, near them.

At first glance, this matter of the Heterodox Alliance might seem unrelated to them, but in reality, the relationship is akin to lips and teeth: when one falls, the other suffers. Once the Buddhism School resolves the Heterodox Alliance, they will surely choose to continue their actions, and won’t easily sheathe their swords. That’s when the blade will point to their relations.

Therefore, the Heterodox Alliance’s relationship with them—Smoke and Mist Sacred Land, Golden Dawn Holy Land, and Xiyue Cave Heaven—is akin to lips and teeth. Letting the Heterodox Alliance continue to bleed with the Buddhism School is the best choice.

The Heterodox Alliance cannot fall; otherwise, the next ones dealt with would be them.

If not for this mindset, Smoke Mist Master wouldn’t have acted at this moment, even for some benefits.

However, sometimes the situation is just like this; these immortal sects, although seemingly strong, can’t truly dominate their fate and can only try to preserve themselves amidst the tumultuous Great World.

“We will personally contact the Golden Dawn Saint Master and Xiyue True Monarch, inviting the two sides to cooperate with us. No matter when the Buddhism School finds out, we must seize resources as quickly as possible and also find ways to ensure the Heterodox Alliance supports longer,” Smoke Mist Master decided.

“Also, personally go to the Heterodox Alliance and ask Vice Alliance Hierarch Tie Qianshan if they can sell us the Sixth Generation Battleship,” Smoke Mist Master said, with a decisive look in his eyes.

One must consider failure before victory. Since we decided to take action, we must prepare for the worst and make the most comprehensive preparations.

“The Sixth Generation Battleship? Would the Heterodox Alliance sell it to us?” The Elder of the Smoke and Mist Sacred Land was shocked.

He was also astonished by their Saint Master’s grand gesture. Their Smoke and Mist Sacred Land couldn’t compare with the Heterodox Alliance’s foundation. Such a force hadn’t managed to maintain a Sixth Generation Battleship in the past, let alone them.

Moreover, even if the Heterodox Alliance acquired the Sixth Generation Battleship, would they be willing to sell it to them now?

“Just ask. Besides, they might not sell it directly to us but could introduce us to someone willing to sell,” Smoke Mist Master said.

Hearing that the Heterodox Alliance already acquired the Sixth Generation Battleship, one can also use this to probe whether they can purchase one as well.

After all, even if stepping in personally, given the current situation, a Fifth Generation Battleship is utterly inadequate, necessitating a Sixth Generation Battleship as leverage.

He believed that if someone was willing to sell the first Sixth Generation Battleship, then surely someone would be willing to sell the second one, especially now for targeting the Buddhism School.

“Yes!” The Elder of the Smoke and Mist Sacred Land responded.

He also understood the current situation, and whether it will be sold is for the other party to decide. But at least it doesn’t hurt to ask. Moreover, having a Sixth Generation Battleship would give them more confidence.

This Elder of the Smoke and Mist Sacred Land didn’t dare delay and personally went to the Heterodox Alliance, also sending people to probe the Bai Xiaosheng Organization to see if there’s an opportunity there.

After all, Bai Xiaosheng facilitated the Heterodox Alliance’s purchase of the Sixth Generation Battleship, proving Bai Xiaosheng has certain channels, perhaps it could work for them too.

After Smoke Mist Master made the decision, he promptly went to discuss the following matters with Golden Dawn Saint Master and Xiyue True Monarch.

In fact, it hardly counts as a discussion. This probing decision wasn’t made by him alone but jointly decided by the three, even prompted by that notable figure behind them.

Don’t think that by now, these three forces don’t have the support of a Daoist Monarch or haven’t collaborated with a Daoist Monarch?

A large-scale immortal sect alliance with three True Immortals Fifth Level presiding is indeed a powerful force in the Realms of Heavenly Seas; however, this is under the condition of not provoking the top immortal sects.

If it were just so, Smoke Mist Master and the others would find ways to protect themselves knowing that the Buddhism School would first attack them and wouldn’t dare to take the initiative.

But because they have the support of a Daoist Monarch, having reached cooperation terms with certain Daoist Monarchs, they truly dare to snatch chestnuts from the fire and are willing to war against the Buddhism School.

In a sense, for some Newly Ascended Dao Lords, especially those without a significant base, when selecting partners and vassal forces, they first choose immortal sects like the Smoke and Mist Sacred Land.

After all, for such large immortal sects that seem strong, but because of having formidable neighbors, they keenly feel the pressure from top immortal sects and are increasingly motivated to break this restraint, making them ideal partners.

This probing was a collective idea of the three immortal sects and orchestrated by their backers, having discussed various issues long ago. Seeing the Heterodox Alliance leaving things be, they naturally acted decisively without hesitation.

Next, the strong of the three immortal sects began to gather silently, their fleets started converging. Because they were next to the Buddhism School, their actions were unforeseen even by the Buddhism School.

This is so-called “dark under the lamp.” With the Buddhism School’s dominance and forcefulness, through countless years nearby forces have treated them with utmost respect, never daring to oppose them.

Even now, having been embarrassed by the Heterodox Alliance’s counterattack, from the Buddhism School’s perspective, they were only concerned about those large immortal sects with past vendettas, top immortal sects at odds with them in the past.

As for immortal sects like the Smoke and Mist Sacred Land, the Buddhism School has never suffered losses from them, so-called grievances couldn’t be mentioned, naturally, they wouldn’t expect the opponent would dare take action at this moment.

Next, taking advantage of the initial attack, the tri-party coalition of the Smoke and Mist Sacred Land rapidly conquered several worlds of the Buddhism School. To maintain secrecy and not expose their whereabouts, the three factions were even more ruthless than the Heterodox Alliance’s powerhouses.

Where they went, it was like locusts sweeping the land, leaving no piece intact. The Buddhism School’s powerhouses were successively suppressed, all resources were thoroughly looted, some things disregarded by the Heterodox Alliance, they valued greatly.
