The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 2318 - 2264–2265: Formidable Opponents, Demon God’s Admiration

The immense might of the Time Laws and Space Laws was something no one could question. As a seasoned Taoist Monarch and master of the Space Laws, the Witch God Sect Leader stood at the peak of this world's beings. His esteemed position wasn't built on empty praise but earned through his own impressive feats in battle.

Although the Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch rarely stepped in, his core being as an Innate Demon God made him a godlike figure naturally attuned to the Time Laws. Coming back from such a horrifying level seemed impossible.

Their combined control over the space-time taboo unleashed a power so shocking that even spectators felt overwhelming fear from witnessing it.

These Taoist Monarchs might hold their ground against it now, but what if time itself started to unwind, pulling them back to their weaker days? How could they fight then?

Even with these two overwhelming powers teaming up to wield the space-time taboo, they failed to overpower Pei Xuanjing, revealing a vast divide. Pei Xuanjing's strength put enormous mental strain on countless others.

Of course, even though they acknowledged Pei Xuanjing's fearsome abilities, many top experts quickly shook off that burden.

For them, it was obvious they didn't belong in the same league as this Longevity Taoist Monarch.

His power was so great that hardly any Taoist Monarch could even dream of challenging him.

So, while the matter was undoubtedly tricky, plenty of Taoist Monarchs knew they'd likely never get involved.

Most Taoist Monarchs' goals and the Longevity Taoist Monarch's pursuits rarely crossed paths, meaning the conflict was limited to the top-tier fights over rare resources. Without the standing to join those battles, there was nothing to worry about.

"Do you think they'll buy it?" the Witch God Sect Leader asked Zhu Jiuyin, his hands clasped behind him.

It went without saying that Zhu Jiuyin's query wasn't about some other issue. It zeroed in on whether folks would accept the strength they revealed by teaming up on the space-time taboo.

"Whether they believe it or not is their choice," Zhu Jiuyin answered flatly, her face showing no emotion, her eyes holding an ancient depth like she'd gazed along time's flow, knowing both history and what was to come.

This instance of their involvement could have been driven by fate, glimpsing a future where Pang Hong would block the Witch Deity Teaching's schemes.

Yet, while that motive held weight, it alone wasn't enough to push them into confronting Pei Xuanjing right then.

The future isn't set in stone, and it doesn't have to happen. Sometimes, spotting it early and acting to dodge it might actually bring it about through those very actions.

They grasped this risk clearly, but their true goal in moving was to flaunt their command of space-time forces, above all else.

They realized that others wouldn't miss their fondness for the space-time taboo. So, instead of letting rumors swirl and plots form in shadows, sharing a slice of the truth seemed wiser.

Zhu Jiuyin wasn't sure if their shown motives would convince everyone. But in the end, belief or doubt didn't really matter.

Their moves were meant to state their position, aiming to ease some doubts held by others.

It scarcely mattered if the opposition kept suspecting or dropped the idea. In the end, it all depended on personal views and beliefs.

For the Witch Deity Teaching, this served as a way to sort things out. Displaying their space-time prowess was mostly an olive branch, a sign of openness to weakness.

Should others keep aiming at the Witch Deity Teaching despite this, it would point to deep-rooted clashes that couldn't be brushed aside easily.

"You're right, we've made our stand clear. If anyone keeps pushing, it just proves we're meant to be foes," the Witch God Sect Leader said, toying with his fingers, a chill sparking in his gaze.

Right now, the Witch Deity Teaching preferred not to make enemies of everyone, so they showed goodwill and offered a few compromises, hoping no one would mistake their overtures for weakness.

Should that stubbornness drag on, thunderous clashes would surely follow.

The Witch God Sect Leader knew this setup was just a short-term strategy. With the Witch Deity Teaching's overall plan, when the endgame hit, fights with many were inevitable, turning them into enemies no matter what.

"Still, this Longevity Taoist Monarch is truly alarming. Even with us both handling the space-time taboo together, we couldn't hold him down," Zhu Jiuyin observed, a cold gleam in her eyes, her normally calm look flickering with faint intensity.

They had planned to reveal some softness this time, but the space-time taboo's might was still so daunting it defied belief.

Even with that, they couldn't pin Pei Xuanjing, who brushed off their assault with ease, leaving Zhu Jiuyin profoundly unsettled.
