The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings - Chapter 640
Chapter 640: Chapter 590 Taixu Venerable
Even the No Phase True Monarch felt immensely shocked at the appearance of this Taixu Venerable.
According to his knowledge, wasn’t this person supposed to be in secluded cultivation? How could they have materialized an avatar and appeared in the ancestral land?
The supreme powerhouses of the Nine Realms of Spirit, their strength was truly terrifying, with vast divine abilities. Even the avatars they projected could not be resisted by a common cultivator at the Spirit Realm Eightfold, so even the No Phase True Monarch was quite wary of him.
“Master, since such a powerful figure has appeared, why not make a temporary withdrawal and plan for another day?” Wu Shijiu’s voice also reached Pei Xuanjing’s ears.
Wu Shijiu had followed Pei Xuanjing since he left the Tiandu Taoist Academy, but he had not revealed his form, instead deliberately hiding his traces, staying in the dark all the time.
After all, he was very clear about his current situation. Over the years, news of the Witch Deity Teaching hunting him had probably spread throughout the entire Sky Wasteland. If he showed up, it would immediately notify the Witch Deity Teaching.
Although Wu Shijiu was not afraid of being hunted by the Witch Deity Teaching and was mentally prepared, he was currently residing in the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. The power of the Witch Deity Teaching was not something the current Great Ming Divine Dynasty could withstand. It would be better to hide as much as possible for now, to buy more development time for the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.
And as Wu Shijiu had previously speculated, Pei Xuanjing had indeed stepped into the Spirit Realm Eightfold. Even powerful figures like the Third Supreme Elder of Canglang Palace who were at the Spirit Realm Eightfold were not Pei Xuanjing’s match. He was easily subdued them, without Wu Shijiu needing to intervene.
Just as he thought everything was over and was preparing to leave, the appearance of the Taixu Venerable caught Wu Shijiu off guard. Obviously, this appearance completely exceeded his expectations.
Indeed, the appearance of this Taixu Venerable was unexpected, not only to Wu Shijiu, but to everyone else as well.
Even Pei Xuanjing was surprised by the appearance of this person. The reason he chose to establish his might with Canglang Palace as a stage for him to ascend to the world’s chessboard was because he was certain that there were no supreme existences in the Nine Realms of Spirit in Canglang Palace. Even if he made a big fuss and offended them, the many cultivators of Canglang Palace would not pose any danger to him.
But now, the appearance of this Taixu Venerable has obviously disrupted Pei Xuanjing’s plan.
Indeed, changes always happen faster than plans, and sometimes surprises come so suddenly.
However, since he had already decided to use this opportunity to announce his presence to the various forces in the Sky Wasteland, Pei Xuanjing would not easily give up halfway.
He had already made his words clear today. If he was stopped by this Taixu Venerable and retreated without doing anything, many people would think he was a bully.
“Venerable, since you are not the aid invited by the Canglang Palace, why bother to muddy the waters? After all, this is my dispute with Canglang Palace, and it doesn’t have much to do with your Venerable.” Pei Xuanjing gently spoke to persuade.
The other party was a supreme powerhouse of the Nine Realms of Spirit, even if it was only an avatar here, their strength was still above the Third Supreme Elder he had just met.
For such a powerhouse, especially those without major conflicts, Pei Xuanjing still wished to maintain basic respect.
Hearing Pei Xuanjing’s words, the smiling face of the green-robed elderly man, also known as the Taixu Venerable, remained unchanged, but a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes: “Are you determined to disobey the old man and disrespect me?”
The Taixu Venerable slightly upset. As the supreme powerhouse of the Nine Realms of Spirit, he was already at the top of existence in this heaven and earth. A junior like Pei Xuanjing, despite being a talented genius who stepped into the Spirit Realm Eightfold before the age of one hundred, rejected him so defiantly. How arrogant!
True, if it were not for the fact that Pei Xuanjing was known to be a genius with great prospects in the future, an average cultivator at the Spirit Realm Eightfold would not be worthy of such an attitude from the Taixu Venerable.
But he believed that he had already shown a very moderate attitude and had given Pei Xuanjing enough face. Yet now Pei Xuanjing persisted in his own way. How could Taixu Venerable be pleased?
“Does Venerable really want to intervene in this matter of Canglang Palace?” Pei Xuanjing also noticed the displeasure of the Taixu Venerable, but what about that?
His purpose today was to demonstrate his might, to kill one to warn a hundred. If the Venerable let him retreat so lightly, what would be the point of his previous actions?
“What if I do!” The Taixu Venerable’s eyes flashed with a trace of coldness, his smile faded, and he said coldly.
He had already given Pei Xuanjing enough face, yet this Pei Xuanjing simply refused to give in.
“This Pei Xuanjing is really arrogant and overbearing, even daring to be so presumptuous in front of the Taixu Venerable.” A look of shock flashed in Wei Ping’s eyes. He was amazed at Pei Xuanjing’s tough words.
This Taixu Venerable was already one of the most powerful figures in this world. Their every utterance could become the law of the world, making heaven and earth tremble, and causing countless people to fear when they were angry.
Just now, the Taixu Venerable spoke to Pei Xuanjing in such a gentle manner. In Wei Ping’s view, he was already giving Pei Xuanjing a great deal of face.
But Pei Xuanjing was ungrateful, speaking back so toughly. Perhaps he had stayed in the ancestral land for too long, cultivated overbearing character, and truly considered himself invincible in his day.
However, even though his mind was full of thoughts, Wei Ping didn’t show the slightest sign on his face. He neither advised nor instigated, but just secretly hoped that the two of them would start a fight.
If Pei Xuanjing truly enraged the Taixu Venerable, he would undoubtedly die today, which would also rid Canglang Palace of an enemy.
Seeing the other party’s attitude, Pei Xuanjing’s face slowly darkened, his smile also faded.
The Taixu Venerable considered his attitude as giving Pei Xuanjing face, and now that Pei Xuanjing was so stubborn and refusing to back down, he thought that Pei Xuanjing was ungrateful. But in Pei Xuanjing’s view, wasn’t the other party also disrespecting him and was ungrateful?
Originally, Pei Xuanjing only wanted to use Canglang Palace to establish his might and did not want to conflict with the cultivators of the Nine Realms of Spirit, so he kindly persuaded the other party to leave.
But the other side was so persistent, insisting on acting as a superior and making him retreat, determined to involve himself in the conflict with Canglang Palace; this inevitably made Pei Xuanjing feel a little displeased.
The Pei Xuanjing at this moment was not the same as before. He believed that his strength was already at the peak of this world, and there were not many things or people that would make him violate his decision and tolerate insult or humiliation.
Moreover, after these continuous life simulations, especially the last two times, with memories of hundreds of years each time, such massive information was digested by Pei Xuanjing, it was bound to have some impact on his character.
