The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 2326: Chapter 2272–2273: Buddhism School’s Retaliation, Divine Continent Situation

In the Witch Deity Teaching, the Ancestral Witches hold the highest authority, and the decisions made by a few of them are almost irreversible.

This incident involved the interests of the Houtu Ancestor Witch and harmed her friend, so theoretically, it should have been communicated to her.

However, this Witch had resided in the Nether Yin Department for a long time and only had involvement in strategic plans for the Witch Deity Teaching, having no interest in other matters of the sect.

Thus, there was no need to inform her about this matter at all.

Of course, according to the understanding of the Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch about the Houtu Ancestor Witch, her heart of seeking the Tao was firm, and she definitely wouldn’t be displeased about this.

……

“Even King Zhuanlun has successfully overcome the tribulation!” Pang Hong received the news, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

After successfully proving as a Taoist Monarch and the Jade Emperor retreating to the Heavenly Court after a confrontation, Pang Hong was planning to check on the situation with Pei Xuanjing.

But Pei Xuanjing stopped him through transmitted voice, telling him not to worry about these matters, and instead seize the final opportunity to comprehend the creation of heaven and earth.

Thus, Pang Hong immediately returned to Shenxiao Domain to cultivate in seclusion, digesting the gains of becoming a Taoist Monarch.

According to common sense, after becoming a Taoist Monarch, one should cultivate in seclusion in a place where one is not affected, especially avoiding the cultivation places of some powerful Taoist Monarchs to prevent being influenced or disturbed by them.

After all, each Taoist Monarch’s path is completely different and, unintentionally, their way and skill could have unimaginable impacts on others.

Being a disciple of Pei Xuanjing, although Pang had forged his own path, traces of Pei Xuanjing’s methodologies were still present in his foundational skill.

Therefore, in seclusion within Shenxiao Domain, not only would there not be a major impact, but Pei Xuanjing’s understanding of certain Taoist skills would significantly aid Pang Hong’s cultivation.

Thus, during this time in seclusion, Pang Hong quickly mastered various divine powers at the Taoist Monarch level, refining his Magical Treasure, not only stabilizing the Taoist Monarch Realm but also taking the opportunity to completely absorb those creations.

However, upon coming out of seclusion, he immediately received a piece of news that left him extremely shocked.

The former Wood Virtue Star Lord, now King Zhuanlun, had proven his status as a Taoist Monarch.

It should be noted that while Pang Hong was in seclusion, he had learned that Xuan Lingzi acted to suppress the Desolate Beast Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion to seize creation, perfect his foundation, and attempt to prove his status as a Taoist Monarch.

Regarding Xuan Lingzi’s proof of Taoist Monarch status, Pang Hong believed there would be no surprises, given that he had the protection of the veteran Taoist Monarch Xuantian. Unless Xuan Lingzi failed to withstand the Taoist Monarch Thunder Tribulation, success was certain.

But now he heard that not only had Xuan Lingzi successfully proved his Taoist Monarch status, but even King Zhuanlun had achieved success.

Moreover, when King Zhuanlun proved his Taoist Monarch status, he encountered an unprecedented human tribulation, with forces from the Heavenly Court, Taoist School, Netherworld, and Buddhism School all taking action, only to be strongly repelled by the Witch God Sect Leader and others, ultimately assisting him in successfully proving his status as a Taoist Monarch.

“Heavenly Court, Taoist School, Netherworld, Buddhism School, all four forces sent out strong individuals; this one has truly offended quite a few people!” Yu Zhenzi couldn’t help but express with emotion.

On the cultivation path, many cultivators made numerous enemies, and encountering obstacles during the ascension and tribulation was normal. However, being obstructed by so many powerful existences made this King Zhuanlun the first to experience such.

Even the Demon Monarchs of the Demonic Way, notorious for their domineering and ruthless methods, had countless enemies, yet even they did not face such difficulties when proving their status as Taoist Monarchs.

Oh, no, the Purgatory Demon Monarch is not included in this. The Purgatory Demon Monarch offended all forces when refining the Flag of Ten Thousand Souls. If not for the Demonic Way’s need for a newly ascended Dao Lord, even with the Taoist Monarch Divine Weapon, the Flag of Ten Thousand Souls at his disposal, he would likely have struggled to succeed.

It can be said that King Zhuanlun, aside from the Purgatory Demon Monarch, faced the most terrifying human tribulation when proving his status as a Taoist Monarch.

“The unauthorized granting of a Star Lord Divine Position previously incurred the displeasure of the Jade Emperor, and the Heavenly Court Gods all bore a deep hatred for it. Their actions were inevitable,” Pang Hong spoke.

The instigator of the trouble would have no descendants.

The previous unauthorized transaction of the Star Lord Divine Position by King Zhuanlun was a very suitable deal for him, yielding substantial rewards and laying the foundation for today’s ascension to Taoist Monarch.

But it also set a bad precedent; for the Heavenly Court Jade Emperor and the other Imperial Honors, they would lose control over the Divine Positions, and for the Heavenly Court Gods, their foundational Divine Positions would also be shaken.

Before this, everyone, even if coveting the Divine Position, did not dare to personally seize it, knowing that even if they slew the gods, truly refining the Divine Position required the approval of the Heavenly Court.

But now, with the operations by King Zhuanlun and the Witch Deity Teaching, it made many realize that as long as one’s strength was strong enough, one could seize the Divine Position at will, and later provide compensation if needed.

This filled the gods with insecurity, implying their existence also had potential to be sacrificed, shaking their foundation; how could the gods be satisfied with that?

As for Buddhism School’s actions, it’s straightforward; even though there was originally no feud between them, practicing the Reincarnation Path made King Zhuanlun a target.
