The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 2326 - 2272–2273: Buddhism School’s Retaliation, Divine Continent Situation

In the Witch Deity Teaching, the Ancestral Witches possess the utmost power, with choices from just a handful of them proving nearly impossible to overturn.

This event touched upon the concerns of the Houtu Ancestor Witch and injured her ally, so in principle, she ought to have been notified.

Yet, this particular Witch had dwelled in the Nether Yin Department for ages and focused solely on grand strategies for the Witch Deity Teaching, showing zero curiosity about the sect's other affairs.

Therefore, alerting her to this issue wasn't necessary whatsoever.

Naturally, based on what the Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch knew of the Houtu Ancestor Witch, her pursuit of the Tao remained steadfast, ensuring she wouldn't feel any anger over it.

......

"Even King Zhuanlun managed to pass the tribulation successfully!" Upon hearing the report, a flicker of astonishment flashed in Pang Hong's gaze.

Having just achieved proof as a Taoist Monarch, with the Jade Emperor withdrawing to the Heavenly Court following their clash, Pang Hong intended to consult Pei Xuanjing about the developments.

However, Pei Xuanjing halted him via voice transmission, urging him to ignore such concerns and grasp the last chance to grasp the genesis of heaven and earth.

As a result, Pang Hong swiftly headed back to Shenxiao Domain for closed-door cultivation, assimilating the benefits from attaining Taoist Monarch status.

By typical reasoning, once one becomes a Taoist Monarch, seclusion should occur in an undisturbed location, particularly steering clear of spots where mighty Taoist Monarchs practice to avoid any sway or interference from them.

In the end, every Taoist Monarch follows a unique path, and without meaning to, their techniques and arts might exert profound effects on fellow cultivators.

As Pei Xuanjing's disciple, Pang Hong had carved out his own route, yet remnants of Pei Xuanjing's approaches lingered in his core techniques.

Hence, practicing in seclusion at Shenxiao Domain wouldn't cause serious disruptions; in fact, Pei Xuanjing's insights into specific Taoist arts would greatly boost Pang Hong's progress.

So, throughout this period of isolation, Pang Hong rapidly grasped numerous divine abilities fitting for the Taoist Monarch stage, honing his Magical Treasure, which not only solidified his hold on the Taoist Monarch Realm but also allowed him to fully integrate those origins.

Yet, right after emerging from seclusion, shocking intelligence reached him at once.

The ex-Wood Virtue Star Lord, currently known as King Zhuanlun, had attained proof of his Taoist Monarch position.

While Pang Hong remained in seclusion, he'd caught wind that Xuan Lingzi moved against the Desolate Beast Nine-tailed Xuanxing Scorpion to claim origins, refine his base, and strive for Taoist Monarch proof.

As for Xuan Lingzi's bid to become a Taoist Monarch, Pang Hong figured it would proceed smoothly, thanks to the safeguarding by the seasoned Taoist Monarch Xuantian. Barring failure against the Taoist Monarch Thunder Tribulation, victory was assured.

But lately, word came that Xuan Lingzi had indeed secured his Taoist Monarch status without issue, and remarkably, King Zhuanlun had triumphed too.

Furthermore, during King Zhuanlun's proof as a Taoist Monarch, he faced an unparalleled human calamity, as powers from the Heavenly Court, Taoist School, Netherworld, and Buddhism School mobilized, only to get fiercely driven back by the Witch God Sect Leader and allies, which in turn helped him fully claim his Taoist Monarch rank.

"Heavenly Court, Taoist School, Netherworld, Buddhism School—all four major powers dispatched their elites; this fellow has really riled up a ton of foes!" Yu Zhenzi remarked, unable to hold back his sigh.

Along the road of cultivation, plenty of practitioners rack up loads of rivals, and facing hurdles amid breakthroughs and tribulations is commonplace. Still, getting blocked by such a horde of supreme beings set King Zhuanlun apart as the pioneer of this ordeal.

Even the Demon Monarchs from the Demonic Way, infamous for their overbearing and merciless tactics, amassed endless foes, but they never endured such ordeals upon proving their Taoist Monarch status.

Well, except for the Purgatory Demon Monarch. That one antagonized every faction while forging the Flag of Ten Thousand Souls. Without the Demonic Way's desire for a fresh Dao Lord, even armed with the Taoist Monarch Divine Weapon known as the Flag of Ten Thousand Souls, his success might have slipped away.

One could declare that King Zhuanlun, excluding the Purgatory Demon Monarch, confronted the fiercest human tribulation in history during his proof as a Taoist Monarch.

"That earlier unsanctioned bestowal of a Star Lord Divine Position already sparked the Jade Emperor's wrath, and all Heavenly Court deities harbored intense grudge against it. Their interference was bound to happen," Pang Hong stated.

The one who stirs the storm invites no heirs.

King Zhuanlun's prior illicit trade of the Star Lord Divine Position proved ideal for him, bringing hefty gains and paving the way for his current rise to Taoist Monarch.

Still, it established a dangerous example; to the Heavenly Court's Jade Emperor and fellow exalted ones, it meant slipping grip on the Divine Positions, while for the gods of Heavenly Court, their essential Divine Positions faced upheaval.

Prior to this, no matter how much others yearned for a Divine Position, they hesitated to claim it outright, aware that slaying the holder wasn't enough—true mastery demanded Heavenly Court consent.

But these days, thanks to King Zhuanlun's maneuvers alongside the Witch Deity Teaching, folks grasped that sufficient might allowed snatching Divine Positions freely, with amends offered afterward if required.

This bred dread among the deities, suggesting their own lives could be expendable too, undermining their very roots; how could such gods remain content?

Regarding the Buddhism School's involvement, it's plain enough; though no prior grudge existed, King Zhuanlun's pursuit of the Reincarnation Path turned him into their prime mark.
