The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 2312 - 2257–2258: Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion, Desolate Beast King

Desolate Beasts, driven purely by their instincts, unleashed chaos upon human existence and earned deep disdain from the human race. What's more, their failure to assume human shapes meant rejection from the Demon Race as well, forcing them to drift aimlessly outside the domains of humans and demons within the Realms of Heavenly Seas.

One has to realize that in this era, the human race and the Demon Race stand as the mightiest powers dominating the world. Deemed unworthy by humans and shunned by demons alike, the Desolate Beasts endure a brutally unforgiving habitat that's all too vivid to picture.

The vital factor here is that when certain mighty experts stumbled upon Desolate Beast remains, uncovering how their inner cores served Artifact Refining or Pill Refining, these creatures turned into prime targets—living treasures of heaven and earth, relentlessly pursued by both humans and the Demon Race. Without a few formidable figures opposing their total wipeout, the Desolate Beasts would likely have vanished ages ago.

Even with that protection, formidable Desolate Beasts remain scarce and constantly under threat from hunters.

This Xuanxing Scorpion's evolution to nine tails highlights the incredible strokes of fortune and sheer luck it has encountered.

Naturally, this ties into the innate strengths of the Xuanxing Scorpion lineage; they require no sustenance or prey, simply drawing in the Star's essence to fuel their advancement.

In the same way, the Star's might offers them a shield, helping evade certain invasive Tian Ji probes and boosting their chances of endurance.

The seamless rise of this Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion owes much to its clan's inherent Divine Abilities.

"Alas, those calm times have vanished!" Detecting the ripples from beyond, the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion lamented deep inside, its rigid scorpion gaze betraying a tangled swirl of emotions.

For Alien Beasts reaching this transformation stage, even sans human guise, their intellect rivals that of humans and demons, rendering them profoundly sentient entities.

Unfortunately, they differ from our kind; their ways must diverge. If humans can't even abide the Demon Race, how would they ever abide beasts like these Alien Beasts?

"The nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion is right here."

"Where Star power converges like this, even if it's not a nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion, some Star-linked Treasure must lurk nearby."

A handful of silhouettes plunged into this realm, each boasting True Immortal realms at the Fourth or Fifth Layer of Heaven; their overwhelming presences billowed unchecked across the space, utterly unmasked.

No point in concealment—don't assume Taoist Monarchs litter the Divine Land World like common weeds. Among True Immortals, a Taoist Monarch emerges once in countless thousands, and even skipping them, those at True Immortal Sixth Layer Heaven count as exceedingly scarce powerhouses.

Within the Realms of Heavenly Seas, True Immortals form the unyielding core, perched at the summit's edge. Powerhouses of True Immortal Fourth and Fifth Layers can traverse the myriad heavens freely, safe from peril unless they cross a Taoist Monarch, facing no real dangers.

This realm amounts to a mere standard Medium Thousand World, utterly harmless to such elites.

For the majority of True Immortal experts, attaining True Immortal Fourth Heaven lets them found vast immortal sects, ascending as venerated forebears.

However, for certain True Immortal experts, establishing a Religious Sect only drags on their Cultivation journey. They crave extra moments for personal growth, and the spoils they gather barely suffice for themselves, far from sustaining disciples.

As a result, across the Realms of Heavenly Seas, bands of True Immortal powerhouses wander solo, seizing Fortuitous Encounters throughout the cosmos. At times, they partner with the Bai Xiaosheng Organization or Sky Mechanism Pavilion, gathering intel in exchange for bounties while fulfilling commissions for premier Immortal Sects and grand sects to trade for vital resources.

These True Immortals rank as elite forces even among peers in their tiers.

The ones present here fit that mold, teamed up with the Sky Mechanism Pavilion and Bai Xiaosheng. Their purpose in this world: hunt down the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion.

Per the bounty issued by Xuan Lingzi from the Taoist Academy and Sky Mechanism Pavilion, simply reporting the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion's location promises a handsome payout.

Yet human greed knows no bounds. With Xuan Lingzi's lavish offer on the table, bold experts figure snatching the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion alive and hauling it back could unlock far juicier prizes.

So, upon spotting signs of the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion here, they relayed the intel to the Bai Xiaosheng Organization before swooping in themselves to seize it.

As these True Immortals appeared, the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion King's form gradually slipped from the darkness, its eyes gleaming with eerie green, all nine tail stingers poised aloft.

This Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion started as an unremarkable, average member of its clan, lacking any remarkable qualities.

That changed one fateful day when, through sheer coincidence, it absorbed nine tail stingers abandoned by deceased elite Alien Beast Xuanxing Scorpion kin, skyrocketing its strength.

Gazing at the nine tail stingers radiating dark Divine Light from the Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion's rear, the True Immortals' faces twisted in shock. In a flash, the scorpion's aura sent icy dread racing down their spines.

Though every True Immortal brimmed with supreme assurance, that poise stemmed from the world's general lack of lethal perils. Right then, a flicker of doubt crossed their stares, questioning if their bold move was wise.

Still, woven into those wary looks burned fierce avarice. A Xuanxing Scorpion this mighty, refined to perfection—delivering it to the Xuantian Sect would surely command rewards beyond measure.
