The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 551: Chapter 499: Reaction of the Great River Ancient Country

The Sky Wasteland, possessing vast and boundless territory, rich in Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.

Here, the survival of the fittest is even more emphasized than the Daming world, filled with bloody jungle laws, a cultivator can move mountains, manipulate laws and use Taoist symbols.

Strong individuals enjoy splendid landscapes, with their words becoming the law of the world, their every move stunning the world; but the weaker ones are anxious all day long, poor and destitute, their lives and deaths are at the mercy of others, with no freedom to speak of…

Here, there are nine-tier emperors who oppress the world; there are teachings from holy land; there are princes who act without any restriction; here is…

Here, heroes coexist, nations are fighting for supremacy, and unending wars are everywhere. To compete for cultivation resources, to maintain their hegemony, to vie for the opportunity of longevity, countless countries, emperor’s courts, and all kinds of forces are working hard to cultivate practitioners, demonstrating the ultimate hegemony and imperial path amidst endless killings and conquests.

In short, it is a magical world, a chaotic and disorderly world, and a mad world.

There is a naked jungle law here that serves as a stage for the strong to shine and a hell for the weak to fear and panic.

Great River ancient country, as the descendent of the Emperor Zhuanxu, a hegemon of ancient times, and Bo Yi, a kinsman of Pre-Qin, is one of the ancient kingdoms inherited from the Heavenly Zhou era and possesses an unimaginable foundation.

Even in this Sky Wasteland, where strong practitioners are everywhere and various forces are constantly conquering, they hold a very high status. If not for the lack of the strongest existence in the Nine Realms of Spirit, they would surely have a place among the top-tier forces.

Even so, with the presence of the protective national deity, the Honghu Divine Bird, even some top-tier forces would not dare to underestimate the Great River ancient country.

In the current Sky Wasteland, the Great River ancient country spans millions of miles, possesses vast territories, is full of practitioners, and holds a supreme status, making it a strong force that countless independent martial artists look forward to joining.

However, no one expected that the current ruler of Great River ancient country, a powerful figure at the eighth level of the Spiritual Realm, would be sitting in his palace in the Imperial City, his face gloomy, and rage seemingly brewing in his heart like a volcano waiting to erupt at any given time.

With the ruler of the country now sitting on the throne wearing a crown and robes adorned with the imagery of the Honghu Divine Bird, and standing on the jade steps, were the many strong practitioners of the Great River ancient country. The atmosphere of the entire grand hall was filled with solemnity.

The reason why these people gathered here was simple: all those they had dispatched to return to the ancestral land had perished, you could say they were annihilated.

This is why the country’s ruler was furious. Afterall, they dispatched a prince of the royal family who was a level six practitioner in the Spirit Realm. How could such a practitioner die so easily?

According to the message passed on by the people of the Sky Mechanism Pavilion, formerly known as Bai Xiaosheng, the ancestral land has already been revived. However, based on the results of the exploration conducted by various top-tier forces, the revival of the ancestral land can only bear a power of the Sixth Level of Spiritual Realm at best.

They can say that the prince they dispatched was one of the most powerful practitioners of the ancestral land, and considering the practitioners of four and five levels of the Spiritual Realm accompanying him, such a mighty force should not only suppress the ancestral land, but at the very least they should have ample to defend themselves.

However, their outcome was completely unexpected, and such a powerful force was completely annihilated and without a single survivor.

“Is this Ying Zhong an idiot? A practitioner at the Sixth Level of the Spiritual Realm has lost his life in the ancestral land. I regret strongly recommending him for this task, wanting to reward him for it. I was blinded.” thought an elder dressed in official robes inside the grand hall.

This Ying Zhong was lucky to already be dead. If he were to appear in front of the elder now, the elder probably wouldn’t be able to resist strangling him to death and even reducing him to ashes.

In the eyes of the elder, although Ying Zhong was slightly arrogant on ordinary days, he was certainly considered a promising figure. Therefore, when selecting candidates for this mission, the elder strongly recommended him and even wanted to win him over to his faction and cultivate him.

But who could have expected that he would die so easily, failing in such a straightforward task, causing a delay in the plan of the ancient country and committing an unforgivable sin.

What irritated the elder was that he had offended other factions within the ancient country by recommending Ying Zhong, and even his own followers were dissatisfied with him.

The winners take it all, and victory can drown all suspicions.

If Ying Zhong had returned successfully and stepped into the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm using this opportunity, naturally all suspicions would have been suppressed, and the elder would have taken this opportunity to suppress the opposing voices within his faction.

But now, everything has gone to waste, Ying Zhong is dead, the situation is bad, and his plans have ended in vain.

This time, not only will he have to face the censure of the national ruler and the attacks from his opponents, but he will also have to find a way to appease the dissatisfaction of his followers. Otherwise, although his life is not in immediate danger, he won’t be able to continue holding his position peacefully.

They need to know that for practitioners of their level, the position they hold in the ancient country concerns the resources and power they can possess. Losing this position would be an enormous loss for him.

Just as the elder was thinking about how to resolve the current predicament, the national ruler sitting on the throne slowly opened his mouth and said, “This time Ying Zhong has fallen, what are your thoughts?”

The ruler of the Great River ancient country, Ying Lie, being a practitioner of the Eighth Level of the Spiritual Realm, has ruled the Great River ancient country for thousands of years, holding the highest position in the entire nation, would not easily violate the ruler’s dignity, not even the ancestors of the ancient country or the protective national deity.

Now that the ruler has spoken, the many important ministers of the Great River ancient country in the court were serious, and immediately a middle-aged man with a firm face stood up and said, “Your Majesty, this time we dispatched Ying Zhong to return to the ancestral land, it was none other than Marquis Lixian who strongly recommended it. I believe that Marquis Lixian should be held accountable.”

The middle-aged man, Ying Mo, also known as King Mo, was a practitioner of the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm, born into the royal family. He was a representative figure of the royal family.

As for the Marquis Lixian he was referring to, it was none other than the white-haired old man who was cursing Ying Zhong in his mind just now, Marquis Lixian, Li Zhongshan.

Hearing King Mo’s words, Marquis Lixian’s brow furrowed slightly, a trace of irritation flashed in his eyes. He said loudly, “Your Highness King Mo, the death of Prince Ying Zhong this time is very strange. The hidden truths have yet to be uncovered. Why are you in such a hurry to blame me?”

In response to King Mo’s sudden attack, Marquis Lixian had been prepared. He understood that he needed to respond swiftly and decisively, or else he would lose the initiative if he retreated and allowed his opponent to seize the opportunity.
