The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1310: Chapter 1258 – Chapter 1259 Cultural Invasion Chapter 1310: Chapter 1258 – Chapter 1259 Cultural Invasion “`

As the ruler of an ancient country, the Fire Virtue Star Lord was clear that even if he pointed out the issues, he would not gain any benefits from doing so. On the contrary, it might incur the dissatisfaction of other Star Lords, effectively offending them. Even as a True Immortal, he was unwilling to act this way, considering that each of these Star Lords also had their own background and interests to consider.

The Star Lords who were able to arrive early on this occasion had their statuses established for a reason; they represented forces like the Heavenly Court, Independent Practitioners, immortal sects, ancient countries, and Innate Gods and Demons. None of them existed in isolation.

As for showing a friendly gesture to the Wood Virtue Star Lord by giving a heads-up, he was sorry to say that even if the Wood Virtue Star Lord had not yet become a True Immortal, a True Immortal wouldn’t be worthy of him offending so many interests.

After all, at the end of the day, the other Star Lords were also acting within the rules, and if he, the Fire Virtue Star Lord, were to overstep and break these rules by taking more benefits than allotted, then others would surely retaliate when the people of his Great River Ancient Country faced a similar situation in the future.

Such were the thoughts of the Fire Virtue Star Lord, fostered by his own concerns, while Pei Xuanjing had his own considerations to take into account.

Just as he had initially agreed to Wood Virtue Star Lord’s conditions, sanctifying his protagonist status to give him an opportunity to compete for more fortuitous opportunities. However, this did not mean that Pei Xuanjing was about to play the role of a nanny for him.

A joke indeed, as he wouldn’t even act as a nanny to his own disciples, be they direct or in-name ones like Pei Xuanjing, who he allowed to grow on their own, merely offering guidance occasionally. A mere Wood Virtue Star Lord was hardly deserving.

The promises Pei Xuanjing made to the Wood Virtue Star Lord served as a safety net and granted a significant title. Under this title, the Wood Virtue Star Lord was able to vie for interests as much as he could, and if he had the capacity, whatever he obtained with Pei Xuanjing’s support would not be forcefully taken from him.

However, Pei Xuanjing could only ensure so much; if the Wood Virtue Star Lord failed to protect his interests within the established rules, allowing others to take his benefits through legitimate means, Pei Xuanjing would not make further comments.

After all, the Heavenly Court’s Expansion Plan was meant not only to promote the continuous rise of the Great Ming World but also to cultivate more powerful figures, capable of standing on their own. Should the Wood Virtue Star Lord fail to do so, he would inevitably lose his competitive edge.

This is exactly why the Fate Controller Star Lord and Star Lord Yi Suan dared to act with such audacity.

However, they had underestimated the Wood Virtue Star Lord, who had managed to reach this point indeed using his own methods. Much of this was due to the fact that Star Lord Yi Suan did not wish to create an irreconcilable feud, but without a doubt, the Wood Virtue Star Lord succeeded.

“According to what the Emperor Monarch said, the core of this plan is called: ‘cultural invasion,’” Star Lord Yi Suan realized he had been outplayed by the Wood Virtue Star Lord the moment he saw the change in his expression.

At that moment, he understood that the Wood Virtue Star Lord, who had fought his way up through the ranks as an Independent Practitioner, was not simple. Ultimately, Yi Suan had been careless and had been bested unexpectedly.

But Star Lord Yi Suan felt no anger or dissatisfaction. When one schemes against others, one must be prepared to be outwitted in return; after all, no one can plot without ever missing something.

Putting other matters aside, their own Master Tian Ji, once claimed to have calculated everything, yet he hadn’t foreseen the insurgence of Bai Xiaosheng, who arose from his Ancestral Land to confront the Heavenly Stem and break away from control, becoming the biggest competitor of the current Sky Mechanism Pavilion.

Master Tian Ji also failed to predict the arrival of the Golden Age and the meteoric rise of Longevity Taoist Monarch, who came to overshadow an entire generation, even forcing the older generation, including them, to fall behind.

So, if even a figure like Master Tian Ji could overlook something, why should Yi Suan be too hard on himself?

Besides, their competition was solely about interests, and such conflicts were within the bounds of the rules. With the Emperor Monarch’s suppression in place, they would not truly form deadly enmities.

Now that the Wood Virtue Star Lord had seen the situation clearly, even though Yi Suan’s scheme had fallen through, the Wood Virtue Star Lord was not the kind of person he had predicted to be difficult to assist. In the upcoming plans and actions, it would be more convenient for Yi Suan to gain greater advantage so he could expand his interests and compensate for the loss.

These thoughts flashed quickly through his mind, so Star Lord Yi Suan began to expound on the core of the Emperor Monarch’s plan.

“Cultural invasion?” The Wood Virtue Star Lord frowned slightly, as he had never heard of such a term before and was unclear about what it meant.

However, since he didn’t understand, it was best to listen to others explain. As an Independent Practitioner, he was aware of his many shortcomings and was not the kind of person who was complacent, believing he knew everything.

“Cultural invasion is a term we too have heard for the first time. According to the Emperor Monarch, it is a means of conquest: a country or nation uses cultural and ideological transformation to subjugate another country or nation. In our case, it means utilizing the Heavenly Court’s cultivation system and cultivation concept to transform the actual Martial Cultivation Method and conceptual understandings of others, so that they acknowledge our worldview, accept the Heavenly Court, and ultimately, willingly push forward the world fusion plan, integrating into the Heavenly Court…” Star Lord Yi Suan spoke solemnly of the underlying techniques and goals.

As he spoke these words, even having heard the plan once before, Star Lord Yi Suan felt a sense of awe at the ingenious ideas and methods put forth by the Emperor Monarch.
