The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings - Chapter 574
Chapter 574: Chapter 522: Concept of the Divine Kingdom, Blend of Kindness and Majesty
Pei Xuanjing was fully invested in making this plan successful. The reason wasn’t only for gaining experience for ascending to the Immortal Realm in the future, but he thought there was a much more critical point.
He wondered if he could use these base points to connect, using the power of Incense Faith to construct a real Divine Kingdom?
Since his current approach resembled the internet of his previous world, could he develop a second virtual world, constructing a genuine Divine Kingdom?
Once such a Divine Kingdom was established, it would be like a new world for the martial artists of this world. They would enter it mentally, like surfing the internet in his previous life, and cultivate and exchange ideas in the Divine Kingdom.
Of course, the benefits didn’t end there. Suppose he could build a Divine Kingdom. In that case, it would signify that Pei Xuanjing had taken full control of the world, and he would be the true god in this world, possessing supreme authority. Provided this Divine Kingdom was not destroyed, would it mean that Pei Xuanjing could live forever?
The conjectures might seem outlandish, but they were not groundless. At least Pei Xuanjing thought it was a feasible method.
Throughout ancient times, numerous powerhouses attempted various methods in search of the path to immortality, similar to the formation of those Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands. If those at the peak of cultivation in the Spirit Realm knew about Pei Xuanjing’s idea, they would not mock him. Instead, they would be keen to follow, even crazily so.
As Pei Xuanjing pondered his plan, he preached to the powerful individuals there to compete for the positions of instructors at his Taoist Academy branch.
He had been preaching for over twenty days. According to the promised three lectures, each lasting over a month, the first was almost complete. However, it was unclear how much these people gained during this period, excluding themselves.
Initially, when the Taoist Academy in Tiandu was established, the instructors’ realms varied, but none below par. Since these instructors gained a lot from the Academy over the years, the position was now highly sought after.
Therefore, when Pei Xuanjing intended to establish branches of the Taoist Academy and recruit instructors for these branches, the martial artist cultivators who confidently came forward were no pushovers. The weakest were in the Second-Class Martial Arts Realm and some powerful ones had already reached the Spirit Realm’s Second Layer.
Although Pei Xuanjing didn’t make any demands while recruiting instructors, the fierce competition naturally eliminated a number of individuals. All those who remained were contenders. Even the weakest, stuck at Second-Class Martial Arts realm, excelled in some aspect. They either possessed extraordinary combat power or exceptional comprehension ability. In other words, no mediocrity remained.
Despite this, even after so many individuals were eliminated through internal competition, nearly 10,000 individuals qualified to listen to Pei Xuanjing’s preaching, reflecting the intensity of the competition.
Pei Xuanjing calmly discussed his understanding and awareness of cultivation. Although he did not speak loudly, his words clearly reached everyone around him.
It had been over twenty days. Pei Xuanjing started with simple topics and gradually moved to more complex ones. Now he was discussing the cultivation methods at the peak of the Mortal Realm, i.e., the First-grade Martial Artist Realm.
Fortunately, even the weakest among them were Second-Class Martial Artists. Although some found it challenging, they did understand. To them, it was, undoubtedly, an opportunity of a lifetime. Many Independent Practitioners might have fortuitously stepped into the Second-Class Martial Arts Realm, but their understanding of their Dao came from random bits and pieces and was not very profound. The things that Pei Xuanjing was talking about were like timely rain for them.
“So, there’s so much to know about the First-Class Martial Arts Realm. I regret breaking through early and not having a solid foundation. I can only look forward to the Master’s next lecture on the Spirit Realm cultivation method and see if there is any way to remedy it,” a cultivator in the Spirit Realm thought.
They used to think that being in the Spirit Realm meant that cultivation methods from the Mortal Martial Details were no longer useful to them. Many wouldn’t have considered listening seriously if they had not needed to obtain contribution points from grasping the essence of the preaching.
However, they were startled when they listened. After hearing Pei Xuanjing’s exposition on Mortal Martial details, they realized that although they had reached the Spirit Realm, it was merely due to chance; their understanding of many things was still incomplete and lacking.
Therefore, even though they had reached the Spirit Realm, it wasn’t necessarily beneficial. Their foundation was not robust enough. It might affect their future cultivation journey.
This sudden fear quickly spread among many cultivators in the Spirit Realm. Even if they knew they might not have the chance to reach the peak of cultivation in the future, no one, due to an inherent instinct, would want to make the same mistakes knowing the problems with their foundations. They would rather attempt to fix the issues.
Many people were now waiting for the next lecture. They hoped the Headmaster would give them guidance during his discussion of the initial practice methods of the Spirit Realm on how to strengthen their foundation.
After all, the Headmaster was not just anyone. He was the well-known Pei Xuanjing, the only saint in the world, who was the one to resolve the age-old problem of fake grandmaster cultivators.
Lecture by a Sixth Level powerhouse of the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm was a rare opportunity, even in the Sky Wasteland. Even the lectures given by these strong individuals in Sky Wasteland were mostly for their own disciples, and they would definitely not impart teachings to many people so generously.
So, among those participating in the competition to become instructors at the Taoist Academy, besides the powerhouses from the Daming World, there were also some cultivators who had returned from the Sky Wasteland hidden amongst them. Everyone had the idea to blend into the crowd. They wanted to take the opportunity to see what kind of tactics Pei Xuanjing was planning for the Taoist Academy, and if they could receive teachings from a powerhouse of the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm, it would undoubtedly be a win-win situation.
As for their presence, Pei Xuanjing had already anticipated it and was neither surprised nor repelled. Instead, he didn’t deliberately investigate their identities and allowed them to hide.
Nothing can be extreme. Pei Xuanjing has shown his majesty and declared his rules to everyone, so he also needed to show some attitude to tell them that he is not always against them. As long as they do not disturb the situation, he can tolerate their stay in the Daming World.
