The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Chapter 35: The Strange Thing is Poisonous

Translator: 549690339

Pei Xuanjing’s unrestrained killing spree in the Blessed Land of the Forbidden Place was not out of any whim, but because he had already reached this point, and next he had to clearly define his own path.

A Third-grade Martial Artist is also known as a Grandmaster.

A Grandmaster is one who pioneers a school of thought and sets up principles that others look up to as a model.

The Upper Three Realms are not just about increasing strength recklessly, it’s more about opening up your own path, leading a school and setting up a model.

During this process, some people follow their hearts, but they can’t stay true to them, and are gradually corrupted by power, ultimately falling into a state where they can’t control their power and instead become tools of it.

Even if such people manage to break through to the Third-grade Realm by sheer force, they can only be called pseudo-Grandmasters. They have the power but lack the heart, living their lives trapped in the Third-grade Realm, unable to make any progress.

The reason Li Yuzhen was astounded earlier was that she had all but witnessed Pei Xuanjing’s transformation from point blank.

From the moment when she heard about Pei Xuanjing’s massacre in the Forbidden Land of the

Blessed Land, she had some guesses, but later seeing Pei Xuanjing’s killing spree and his close frenzy to endless killings, she noticed signs that he was suddenly awakened and seemed to be breaking free.

That’s why Li Yuzhen stepped up, hoping to arouse him.

“I didn’t expect that you’ve reached this point blindly, even without a master. That was surprising,” said Li Yuzhen, her eyes showing an unusual brightness as she looked at Pei Xuanjing.

She knew that Pei Xuanjing’s achievements today were indeed due to extraordinary opportunities.

Of course, Li Yuzhen had no desire for Pei Xuanjing’s opportunities. As a person of noble birth, she had no shortage of cultivation resources or martial studies, there was absolutely no need for her to scramble for these things.

For her, maybe only traces of the Fairy supreme-ruler were worth striving for.

“Thank you, Miss Second for showing me the way today. If Miss Second has any requests in the future, Pei Xuanjing will certainly not refuse,” Pei Xuanjing thanked her with a fist salute.

What may seem like superfluous preaching from Li Yuzhen’s point of view, for Pei Xuanjing it was rather a series of crucial points. These insights could save him from meandering and making countless errors.

After all, due to the simulator, his cultivation speed was too fast. Even if he tried his best to make up for the shortcomings, Pei Xuanjing’s knowledge of martial arts and some of his cultivation bottlenecks was still inferior to those geniuses who were born in large forces.

Li Yuzhen said, “Assuming I guessed right, you entered the Blessed Land of the Forbidden Place to obtain a peculiar object, right?”

She paused and said, “What if I were to ask you to help me obtain this peculiar object in the Blessed Land of the Forbidden Place?”

Listening to these words, Pei Xuanjing felt a bit embarrassed. After all, he had already promised to help someone else obtain the peculiar object, so naturally, he couldn’t go back on his word.

However, he had just promised Li Yuzhen that he would not refuse any request she had, which immediately contradicted his previous pledge.

He thought for a moment and then said to Li Yuzhen, “I have already promised to help someone get the peculiar object in this Forbidden Land of the Blessed Land.”

Then he quickly vowed, “But don’t worry, Miss Second, if you need it, I will roam the world, look for other openings of the Blessed Land of the Forbidden Place, and find another peculiar object for you.”

Li Yuzhen looked at him with a straight face, “Really?”

“I shall fulfill my words.” responded Pei Xuanjing with seriousness.

“Heh. What’s with you not understanding jokes?” Li Yuzhen laughed, waving her hand, “I was just joking with you, I don’t need a peculiar object.”

“Huh Pei Xuanjing was surprised. “Didn’t Miss Second come here for the peculiar object?”

Li Yuzhen shook her head, “I’m here mainly for practice, not for a peculiar object.”

Then she said to Pei Xuanjing, “Also, I advise you not to think about using that peculiar object.”

“Why? It is said that obtaining a peculiar object can directly lead us to the Upper Three Realms, right?” Pei Xuanjing asked, baffled.

Li Yuzhen explained, “While using a peculiar object can indeed help break through to the Upper Three Realms smoothly, peculiar objects are ranked too. The peculiar object of Anping Prefecture’s Forbidden Land of the Blessed Land is considered the lowest rank. It can only help break through to the Third-grade Realm, and once fused with a peculiar object, it is very difficult to take a further step later.”

According to Li Yuzhen, peculiar objects of different levels, the highest level of the peculiar object can help a martial artist break through smoothly to the First-grade Realm, while the second -best can break through to the Second-Class Realm, and the lowest level of the peculiar object, like those found in Anping Prefecture, can only help break through to the Third-grade Realm.

And once you have fused with such a peculiar object to break through to the Third-grade Realm, your path ahead will be solidified, and it will be very difficult to break through on your own. The only way is to continue to snatch the same attribute peculiar objects in order to ascend further.

This is why, unless it is the highest-level peculiar obj ect, for some talented individuals, the peculiar object is kind of a white elephant. If they are confident and ambitious, they will not compete for these peculiar objects.

“So for us, instead of fighting for such white elephant peculiar objects, it would be better to take the opportunity to cultivate and gain experience in the Forbidden Land of the Blessed Land,” said Li

Yuzhen.

“1 see,” Pei Xuanjing nodded.

Now he understood why in his life simulations, even as a mere Fifth or Sixth Grade Martial Artist, he could easily seize the peculiar objects.

It turned out that what he desperately fought for and saw as a treasure was just a white elephant in the eyes of these real geniuses. They would never fight hard for this.

That’s also why when the Blessed Land of the Forbidden Place opened, the major forces of Northwest Dao only sent some disciples, without investing too much manpower, as it seemed more like a losing bargain.

This all comes down to different perspectives brought about by standing at different levels.

For the lower level martial artists, obtaining peculiar objects is their chance to rise and their hope for breaking through. But for the truly talented, these peculiar objects are their stumbling blocks to success.

Li Yuzhen said to Pei Xuanjing, “With Brother Pei’s talent, being able to reach the current realm at the age of twenty, it is not impossible for you to step into the First-grade Realm in the future. Why waste your wonderful talent for temporary gain?”

She truly believes that by using Pei Xuanjing’s innate abilities to fuse with peculiar objects and solidify his own way, it would be a loss rather than a gain.

“Thank you, Miss Second.” Pei Xuanjing thanked her with a salute. “Even if the peculiar object does not suit me, since I have promised others, I have to take it back.”

The original plan was to deliver this peculiar object to Gu Ji as part of the trade agreement. Now, after hearing what Li Yuzhen had to say, he certainly wouldn’t merge lightly.

Although he has a life simulator that can be forced to break through, what if, after integrating the peculiar object, the trajectory of his life in the life simulator cannot be broken through?
