The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 2310 - 2255–2256: Demonstrating Gentleness, Tao Certifying Opportunity

"Space reigns supreme, time commands reverence. Yet even as these two forces unite to unravel the enigmas of space-time, they fail to halt the Longevity Taoist Monarch?" Xuan Lingzi whispered to himself while observing the clash in the void.

"The enigmas of space-time hold such profound secrets, and the might of space-time proves utterly inconceivable. Still, right now, the Witch God Sect Leader and Zhu Jiuyin can't fully unleash the power of space-time—or more accurately, they refuse to," Taoist Monarch Xuantian declared with icy resolve, hands folded behind his back, his robes whipping in the breeze.

Standing nearby, Xuan Lingzi appeared momentarily stunned, struggling to grasp his master's implication. With the fight already underway between both sides, why claim these two Taoist Monarchs held back, unwilling to unleash their full might?

"Under these circumstances, the Witch Deity Teaching has practically turned into the common enemy of everyone. Should they actually seize control of space-time's power, they'd swiftly supplant Pei Xuanjing as the realm's greatest menace, drawing the ire of all," Taoist Monarch Xuantian explained gravely.

Within the unfolding chaos, myriad powerhouses from every faction schemed relentlessly, chasing their own agendas and ambitions. Any budding danger gets crushed in its infancy before it can flourish.

Why does the Longevity Taoist Monarch or the Shenxiao Sect encounter silent opposition from all corners? Isn't it due to Pei Xuanjing's overwhelming prowess, which leaves countless Taoist Monarchs on edge, fearing that any showdown between them might disrupt their carefully laid schemes?

Yet in the end, the Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing stands alone as an individual, and the Shenxiao Sect's grasp on resources remains finite. They can't possibly claim every scrap of wealth and power available.

As a result, the formidable presence of the Longevity Taoist Monarch—who already commands a vast share of influence and assets—proves tolerable to most mighty beings, since the elite naturally deserve such dominance.

The Witch Deity Teaching stands apart, however. It boasts numerous Taoist Monarchs, and the Ancestor Witch role hasn't reached its zenith, signaling that the Witch Deity Teaching could surge even further in strength.

Should the Witch Deity Teaching keep expanding its power, the territories and riches it claims would swell, steadily encroaching on the portions held by other powerhouses—a development they simply won't allow.

If forced to decide, most powerhouses would far prefer enduring the might of the Longevity Taoist Monarch over watching the Witch Deity Teaching balloon into a colossal force.

Not long ago, when the Ju Mang Ancestor Witch forged the divine authority to ascend as a Taoist Monarch, it sparked outrage among many powerhouses. They refused to witness a behemoth like the Witch Deity Teaching rise, knowing it would devour their own gains.

This mirrors the Demonic Way's recent strike against Mahasthamaprapta, a preemptive blow to cripple a rival and preserve equilibrium rather than let one side overwhelm all.

That maneuver came from the Demonic Way, true, but every powerhouse recognized its purpose. Despite this awareness, they permitted it—even lent covert aid by creating openings for the Demonic Way to undermine the Buddhism School.

The Witch Deity Teaching faces the same fate. With multiple Taoist Monarch powerhouses now emerging within it, many view it as a formidable coalition rivaling the Buddhism, Taoist School, or Demonic Way in might—a threshold already crossed, starting to nibble at the edges of other powerhouses' domains.

This explains why the Witch God Sect Leader willingly hurled the Kongtong Seal aside to shift focus, igniting conflict between the Jade Emperor and the Human Race Five Emperors to redirect the blaze of battle, sparing the Witch Deity Teaching from excessive scrutiny.

Even Taoist Monarch Xuantian saw the recent interference by the Witch God Sect Leader during Pang Hong's tribulation for Taoist Monarch ascension—claiming a glimpse of future paths where Pang Hong would hinder the Witch Deity Teaching—as nothing but a pretext.

Their real aim likely involved drawing eyes deliberately, forcing many powerhouses to perceive fractures in the alliance between the Witch Deity Teaching and Pei Xuanjing, complete with clashing motives.

This calculated display of frailty seeks to lower the defenses of other mighty figures, granting the Witch Deity Teaching freer rein without every gaze locked upon them.

As for the Witch God Sect Leader's command over space laws and Zhu Jiuyin's hold on time authority, countless strong individuals grasp the truth: barring outright stupidity, anyone can see that with space and time under their sway, they'd inevitably pursue the forbidden fusion of space-time.

This poses a looming peril to many powerhouses, its full scope unknown—when it might burst forth or whom it could strike.

Thus, every powerhouse risking a clash with the Witch Deity Teaching must stay eternally vigilant, braced for such dangers to ignite.

As the saying goes, one can play the thief for a thousand days, but how does one guard against thieves endlessly? Spotting a threat's shadow at first breeds caution, yet over time, that wariness fades into active suppression.

Now, as the Witch God Sect Leader and allies seize this chance to unveil the space-time taboo, letting hordes witness the spectacle—yet without unleashing devastating force—it eases suspicions among some powerhouses, prompting them to drop their watch and turn attentions elsewhere.

For this reason, Taoist Monarch Xuantian feels certain these two won't triumph this time. If space-time's fused power could overpower the Longevity Taoist Monarch, it would mark their danger as eclipsing his own—and such tidings would spell utter disaster.
