The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 779: Chapter 729: Will You Really Accept the Loss If You Bet and Lose?

“If Mr. Xue has made a request, where could I get the reason to refuse?” Zhao Baiyang was somewhat surprised by Xue Wuheng’s frankness. Just from his attitude, it was clear that Xue Wuheng currently encountered formidable challenges.

However, though surprised in his heart, his face was still full of smiles as he replied, “Joining forces with you, Mr. Xue and I would become a perfect match. We’re certain to achieve lofty goals. There should be a place in the world for the both of us.”

Although the Demonic Cult led by Xue Wuheng has been secretly targeted by the Hell Demon Sect, and their alliance will inevitably affect his alliance of heretics, Zhao Baiyang still decisively chose to accept without much hesitation. Or to put it another way, when he agreed to Xue Wuheng’s request, Zhao Baiyang was prepared to face the Hell Demon Sect.

The Hell Demon Sect is one of the top forces in the Demonic Way. Although the Sect doesn’t hold a place among the top-tier forces of the Demonic Way due to the lack of an absolute power holder, the Hell Demon Sect has a profound heritage and ample strength. The sect is filled with powerful individuals, matching up to the former Canglang Palace in every aspect.

It would be a mistake to assume that the Canglang Palace was weak just because Pei Xuanjing effortlessly killed several Spirit Realm Eightfold martial artists and the Palace was easily demolished when many forces targeted it.

Not to mention the Grand Supreme Elder of the Canglang Palace who might break into the Nine Realms of Spirit, even the other Spirit Realm Eightfold cultivators, including the Palace Master, were by no means weaklings.

The Canglang Palace was of a first-rate category among top-tier forces. This was clear from how it thrived despite attracting many adversaries and rousing numerous complaints against it. It was only after Pei Xuanjing killed the Palace Master and the Third Supreme Elder that it was jointly targeted by others, still enabling the Grand Supreme Elder to escape.

The difference between the strong and weak is often relative. The Canglang Palace was not weak; they were just unlucky enough to encounter Pei Xuanjing and became the sacrificial pawn several forces used to probe Pei Xuanjing’s strength. They also served as stepping stones for Pei Xuanjing to establish his own reputation.

The Hell Demon Sect, which could be compared to the Canglang Palace, actually surpassed the latter in all aspects, whether it was the deep foundation or the number of powerful cultivators, everything was slightly better.

Such a power in the world only needed to make way for top-tier forces and the most potent individuals. There was no need for them to back down before any other force or cultivators. Because of their might, even many top-tier forces would not want to create a rift with the likes of Hell Demon Sect unless absolutely necessary.

Xue Wuheng killed a cultivator sent by the Hell Demon Sect. The person himself might not be noteworthy, but he was a representative of the Hell Demon Sect’s dignity. If they let this go lightly, they would lose their reputation and dignity. How would they continue to hold their ground in this world? That is why they had to take action against Xue Wuheng and the Demonic Cult.

Indeed, Pei Xuanjing’s intervention led to the temporary retreat of the Hell Demon Sect which provided Xue Wuheng with ample time for growth. But they couldn’t destroy their enemy openly in the current circumstances. However, they could use some undercover limitations and targeting, even Pei Xuanjing couldn’t say much about it.

According to common sense, the alliance should avoid attracting such a powerful entity, incapable of countering the might of the Hell Demon Sect. So why would they provoke it?

Indeed, the Hell Demon Sect is powerful, and the current alliance can’t counter it, but it doesn’t mean they should keep backing down and evading. Any force aiming to rise needs to choose their opponents.

For people like Zhao Baiyang at the moment, instead of waiting for their opponent to strike during the rise, why not actively seek adversaries? As long as they could defeat the opponent and absorb their resources, it would allow them to grow rapidly.

The strength of the Hell Demon Sect, though intimidating, wasn’t invincible and could serve as a sharpening stone to make them stronger.

“If we lose to such an opponent, we may not have another chance, and we could face total annihilation,” cautioned Tie Qianshan.

Confronted with such an adversary, he felt immense pressure. Combined, they would barely be able to suppress a Spirit Realm Eightfold cultivator. And the strength of the Hell Demon Sect was definitely not limited to one Spirit Realm Eightfold cultivator. It was a terrifying prospect.

“Then, we have to strive to win,” declared Zhao Baiyang, his eyes shimmering frostily.

We can’t lose. We have to win!

They either swallow an elephant whole, using the Hell Demon Sect as their nourishment, their pillar for transformation or face total annihilation. There were only these two options. There was no third way.

“Swallowing an elephant, if you fail, you will die. How ambitious!” exclaimed Pei Xuanjing as he looked at the information about Zhao Baiyang’s intentions.

Everyone was indeed seeking powerful methods, none were willing to be left behind in this era. Under current circumstances, you either become stronger or fade away. There were no other options.

Concerning the alliance between the Heretic Alliance and the Demonic Cult, Pei Xuanjing wasn’t surprised. Even though the current situation might appear stable, it was simply suppressed by him and other powerful beings. There was temporary tranquility because of the plan to merge the two worlds.

However, whether they were powerful beings like Pei Xuanjing standing at the peak of the universe or decision-makers of various forces, they were all aware that their peace was temporary. Tensions would gradually build, eventually leading to a sudden outbreak at a certain point.

The fusion of the two worlds has never been smooth, and friction is an inevitable result. Even supreme beings like Pei Xuanjing would not be able to stop it because it’s a trend, a natural reshuffling trend among the forces of Heaven and Earth. It’s impossible to suppress it.

When the time comes, it won’t just be the various forces of the human race that will be affected, the Demon Race will also be involved. The struggle between humans and demons will sweep through again, unstoppable.

Why did those supreme beings, as well as the supreme beings of the Demon Race, seemingly agree so easily to divide the benefits after the merging of the two worlds proposed by Pei Xuanjing? Was it really because they recognized how powerful Pei Xuanjing was? That they were willing to abide by the agreement and admit defeat?

It’s a joke, living in the Sky Wasteland for so many years, there may be rules, but those rules are only maintained when faced with equally powerful opponents capable of ensuring the rules are truly enforced, not the weak ones.

The distribution of shared benefits proposed by Pei Xuanjing was approved by them because they recognized Pei Xuanjing’s strength, but tha
