The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1096: Chapter 1044 – Chapter 1045 Life Simulation – Harvest Anzi_2 Chapter 1096: Chapter 1044 – Chapter 1045 Life Simulation – Harvest Anzi_2 Moreover, with his level of power, he understood better than anyone how terrifying an opponent of such strength could be. Unless absolutely necessary, he preferred not to push such an entity to become an adversary.

Furthermore, as a powerhouse like Meng Wushang was well-versed in the secrets of Heaven and Earth, he could instantly discern the true intentions of the Shenxiao True Monarch.

For him, such developments were indeed a cause for satisfaction.

“If a great calamity can be stirred, perhaps even I can take advantage of this opportunity for benefit, seeking even greater possibilities for advancement,” a glimmer of hope flashed in Meng Wushang’s eyes.

Powerhouses like them, aside from seeking to protect the interests of their own Orthodox Dao, also prioritize their cultivation. Naturally, they would not miss an opportunity to enhance it.

“This Shenxiao True Monarch is probably an old monster in disguise; aren’t these exactly the kinds of schemes those individuals prefer?” mused the Creator Sect Master to himself.

Upon witnessing the actions of the Shenxiao True Monarch, many memories immediately surfaced in the mind of the Creator Sect Master.

The powerhouses of old employed such methods, using various ways to fan the flames, pushing events that appeared commonplace, and ultimately reaping the rewards, securing the greatest victory for themselves.

As a powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of the Great Thousand Worlds and particularly as the wielder of a top-tier Religious Sect like the Creation Dao, the Creator Sect Master found that few things could attract his attention or stir any waves in his heart.

But powerhouses who had reached his level had gone through countless deliberations and calculations regarding their future path or the means of progressing even further.

Just like Meng Wushang of the Dao of Supreme, who aspires to dual cultivation of Dao and martial arts, waiting for his two paths to simultaneously enter the stages of Yang Spirit and Crushing Void Realm which would grant him sufficient power to protect himself.

Similarly, the Black Sky Taoist of Xuantian Hall has his sights set on devouring the Black Heaven Demon God’s main body he once observed, to replace him, using the Demon God’s origin and the plentiful Power of Incense Fire to further advance his own strength.

Just like the Great Zen Temple, like the others.

This Creator Sect Master too once harbored similar thoughts, even holding a wild plan in his heart, but due to various circumstances, he had never truly acted on it, or perhaps didn’t dare to.

However, this time he saw an opportunity, and even if he couldn’t immediately execute his plan, he could still watch from the sidelines, using this to refine his own scheme, possibly succeeding one day in the future.

At the end of the day, the authority of such Religious Sects and noble families ultimately lay in the hands of powerhouses like Meng Wushang. Once they discerned Pei Xuanjing’s objective, they naturally opted not to expose him. On the contrary, they tacitly assisted, subtly aiding Pei Xuanjing’s plan.

In summary, just as Pei Xuanjing had predicted, his inflammatory actions met with no resistance. Instead, they were continuously propelled forward.

With their tacit allowance and even support, the strife within the Da Ye Dynasty escalated, especially among the royal princes.

Originally, while they held no small power, they still harbored some concerns about the future in their hearts.

After all, the matter of dynastic changes to them was like a sword hanging overhead that could fall at any moment, not knowing when it might claim their lives.

But now, with the emergence of the Method of Qi Luck, they too saw a glimmer of opportunity to potentially turn the tide.

From the covert struggles of the past to the overt confrontations of the present, the various princes of the Da Ye Dynasty began to expand their powers relentlessly, aiming to seize Qi Luck and strengthen themselves.

It can be said that even though the Da Ye Dynasty has not yet fallen, in reality, the entire region is already ablaze with war; chaos is evident, even to the extent that imperial decrees no longer extend beyond the walls of Da Xing Royal Capital.

And it was at this time that Sun Liang left Da Xing City, stepping into the rivers and lakes, beginning his search for his own path, ready to temper and refine himself,

Although Sun Liang’s departure was very secretive, it quickly came to the attention of some interested parties.

After all, the name of Shenxiao True Monarch had spread far and wide between Heaven and Earth, and all information about the Shenxiao Taoist Temple fell into the hands of various powers, who were well aware that the Shenxiao True Monarch had a registered disciple named Sun Liang.

For this individual of no ordinary status, many harbored thoughts, considering whether to woo him in order to establish a connection with the Shenxiao True Monarch.

Of course, wooing connections required a certain finesse, and being too blunt could backfire.

However, these were just the thoughts of some, for the majority of people, even the royal princes, could not recognize Sun Liang, who had changed his appearance and concealed his identity, in a short period of time.

To curry favor with Sun Liang to gain a relationship with a peak powerhouse was merely a possibility, a casual move in their games, and not worth too much of their effort, for they did not truly believe that the mere existence of a registered disciple could influence the attitude of the Shenxiao True Monarch.

They were more concerned with the current state of the entire Da Ye Dynasty, as this was what was most closely related to everything about them.

As the struggle between various forces grew increasingly intense, the long-silent Ancestral Emperor of Da Ye finally made a move, revealing the maneuvers he had been concealing.

The various Rebel Kings were one thing, but the princes who seemed to be on the rise were hit with losses one after another, encountering betrayal.

They had never anticipated that many of their once utterly loyal subordinates were undercover agents planted by the Ancestral Emperor of Da Ye and Emperor Xuanzong.

Unlike secular dynasties, where emperors lose control of their dynasties upon death and their power naturally transfers to their successors,

it was different in a dynasty with Cultivation, where even under pressure from religious sects and noble families to yield the throne, these emperors, if they had sufficient means and power, could still wield authority over the dynasty from behind the scenes.

Especially in a world where might was internalized, as the Ancestral Emperor of the Da Ye Dynasty had strong power and supreme prestige, it was natural for him to easily plant undercover agents among the royal princes.

One could say that since the Ancestral Emperor’s abdication, his plan had been continuously implemented, unwavering for hundreds of years.

Therefore, for many princes, the people they recruited seemed to have no connection with the royal family, yet they might have already been part of the Ancestral Emperor’s hidden forces for over a hundred years.

If it were before, the Ancestral Emperor of Da Ye might have let this force continue to slumber, without awakening it.

But given the present circumstances, it had become a case of sink or swim; he naturally would not hold anything back, and in an instant summoned and awakened all these forces.

After the notion of Qi Luck spread, and the royal princes continued to expand their forces, the territories–or rather the force–that the Emperor of Da Ye could control were increasingly encroached upon and diminished, almost losing the right to fight desperately in this dynastic succession.

But once the Ancestral Emperor made his move, the situation suddenly reversed. Although it did not determine the outcome of the struggle, it erased all their previous disadvantages, once again granting them control over nearly half of their original territory, making them the strongest force in the entire dynastic change.

This turn of events was unexpected even for the behind-the-scenes religious sects and noble families; indeed, the Ancestral Emperor’s layout was shrewd and decisive, reminding many powerhouses who participated in the last dynastic change of the Ancestral Emperor’s glory days.

“The worm may die but will not go limp. To sustain the Da Ye Dynasty for three hundred thirty years, which is sixty years longer than the former dynasty, it is indeed not so easily destroyed,” lamented a powerhouse.
