THE SIMS: I OPEN THE IMMORTAL PATH FOR ALL BEINGS

Chapter 952: 900-901 Pang Hong’s Plan Invite_2

“It seems that, aside from asking Monarch Qingxu of the True Martial Sect for help, we must also invite some other individuals,” Pang Hong considered before speaking.

Zhu Houji must be rescued, so in this situation, besides ourselves, we need to enlist the aid of some others.

“Are you planning to request assistance from Dragon Tiger Mountain?” Yu Zhenzi inquired.

With their circumstances, Dragon Tiger Mountain is the only power that can be confidently approached with an invitation right now.

After the Ancestor Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain ascended to True Immortal status, there were initially only two supreme strong ones in the Spirit Realm—the Second Generation Celestial Master and Bai Qicang. Later, within this century, three more have ascended, and now there are a total of five supreme strong ones at Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Given the situation at Dragon Tiger Mountain, if we can invite these five supreme strong ones, especially Bai Qicang, whom Sect Leader Pei Xuanjing has praised as capable of battling a True Immortal, then the rescue of Zhu Houji should be effortlessly successful.

“The question is, will Dragon Tiger Mountain agree?” Deng Zhong furrowed his brow.

Indeed, inviting five supreme strong ones requires considerable clout; while Sect Leader Pei Xuanjing would suffice, it remains uncertain if Dragon Tiger Mountain will agree to our request.

“Besides, this would be a significant favor to ask for. How would we repay it in the future?” Xin Huan also asked.

Debts of favor are the hardest to repay. The assistance of five supreme strong ones comes with a substantial obligation to fulfill later.

Pang Hong confidently said, “Our alliance with Dragon Tiger Mountain from the past hasn’t been voided. It’s an excellent opportunity now that Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Ancestral Land has returned to see if they acknowledge our past alliance. As for the favor, there is no need to worry.”

Before the forces of the Sky Wasteland Realm had returned, Dragon Tiger Mountain, as one of the representatives of the Taoist School, along with our Shenxiao Sect, the True Martial Sect, Baiyun Temple, Chunyang Sect, and a few others, had established the Taoist Alliance.

Nowadays, the Taoist Alliance seems to have become somewhat nominal, which, in Pang Hong’s view, is due to the forces of the Sky Wasteland Realm returning, especially with the advent of the Ancestor Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain disrupting the previous balance.

No matter what the others think, Pang Hong sees great significance in this Taoist Alliance, which will be quite useful in the coming time.

This opportunity is perfect for him to gauge Dragon Tiger Mountain’s stance towards the alliance. If they are unwilling to continue the pact, it would be best to annul it promptly to avoid limbo, which could hinder Pang Hong’s plans.

As for asking for their help, Pang Hong is not worried at all. After all, if they agree to help and to continue the alliance, then it’s merely part of their duty. Furthermore, should Dragon Tiger Mountain face challenges in the future, Shenxiao Sect wouldn’t stand by idly but would willingly lend support.

After all, compared to the dangers facing Zhu Houji and others now, it’s the crisis Bai Qicang of Dragon Tiger Mountain may face upon his tribulation to Becoming Immortal that is greater and more in need of help.

“If that is so, let all decisions be made by our Junior Sect Leader,” Yu Zhenzi and the others understood Pang Hong’s intentions and expressed their agreement.

Their common goal was to enhance and prosper the Shenxiao Sect, so they naturally would not hinder Pang Hong’s ideas; on the contrary, they were quite willing to support him.

Yu Zhenzi even suggested, “In that case, why not also extend invitations to the other Taoist School forces to gauge their attitude as well?”

The Taoist School forces that returned to Sky Wasteland Realm were not limited to Dragon Tiger Mountain; it’s just that, since they had no lineage in the ancestral lands, Shenxiao Sect hadn’t had the chance to connect with them.

Now that Pang Hong had this idea, why not take the opportunity to invite other Taoist Schools and see if they too could be drawn into the fold.

It must be said, these individuals were deeply influenced by Pei Xuanjing, all preferring to have many friends and fewer enemies.

“Indeed, the world’s Taoist Schools are one family. We all belong to the Taoist School and should maintain close relations. This opportunity is an excellent time to show true character in adversity,” Xin Huan said with a smile.

And so, they swiftly reached a consensus. Pang Hong, holding the divine artifact and accompanied by Deer Elder, would lead the way to rescue Zhu Houji, while Yu Zhenzi, Deng Zhong, Xin Huan, and two others would each take letters of invitation to the True Martial Sect, Dragon Tiger Mountain, and several other forces to seek assistance.

…

Regarding the actions of the Shenxiao Sect, it naturally drew the attention of various powers.

In fact, when Zhu Houji first discovered the emergence of the Spirit Realm Cave Heaven left behind by the Human Race Common Master, many major forces took notice.

However, firstly, they found that Zhu Houji had already refined the Spirit Realm Cave Heaven, and the cost of seizing it by force was not small. Secondly, considering Pei Xuanjing who stood behind him, these powers, having their own families and businesses, were unwilling to make an enemy of True Monarch Shenxiao Pei Xuanjing, so none of them made a move.

Of course, not making a move immediately did not mean they had completely given up; in fact, they were waiting and watching. If the Blood Spirit Taoist and his group really could seize this Spirit Realm Cave Heaven, then these powers would not stand idly by.

After all, once the Cave Heaven is no longer in the hands of Zhu Houji, if they took it, even True Monarch Shenxiao would not be able to say much in the future.

Therefore, these forces were closely monitoring the situation with Zhu Houji, and they were well aware that if Zhu Houji received any assistance, it would most certainly be from the Shenxiao Sect.

Now, with Pang Hong and his associates making any slight move, it immediately attracted the attention and reactions of all parties.

…

At Dragon Tiger Mountain, not to mention that the Ancestor Celestial Master had long ceased dealing with affairs, leaving everything to the Second Generation Celestial Master, let alone that many True Immortals were consolidating their Realms and familiarizing themselves with the creation of Immortal Path divine powers, leaving them naturally without spare time.

The visitor to Dragon Tiger Mountain seeking assistance was Yu Zhenzi, and the Second Generation Celestial Master was naturally well aware of his purpose, so he let the old Celestial Master greet this acquaintance, and did not show himself directly.

“Older brother, how do you view this matter?” the Second Generation Celestial Master asked his senior, Bai Qicang.

Although most affairs of Dragon Tiger Mountain were decided by himself alone, this matter seemed minor but had deep implications, so he naturally wanted to discuss it with his senior brother.

Bai Qicang returned to Dragon Tiger Mountain at the critical moment of the Ancestor Celestial Master’s tribulation and had since stayed, not once departing. Although seemingly he and the Ancestor Celestial Master still had quarrels, they had not left thanks to the mediation of the Second Generation Celestial Master.

Hearing what the Second Generation Celestial Master said, Bai Qicang laughed and said, “Little brother, you’ve been in charge for so many years, how could you not understand their intentions? Could it be that you are testing me?”

“Haha, older brother, you jest,” the Second Generation Celestial Master waved his hand and then said earnestly, “It’s just that if we agree this time, it means we’re boarding their ship.”

He naturally understood the purpose of the Shenxiao Sect’s sending envoys this time and was aware of the implications of agreeing, which is why he was being cautious and sought his senior brother’s advice.

Over the years, Dragon Tiger Mountain, besides never refusing to participate in wars against the Demon Race, has never interfered in the internal struggles for power and profit within the human race, maintaining a stance of neutrality.

If they agreed this time, in the eyes of others, it would seem as though they sided with the Shenxiao Sect. If the Shenxiao Sect were a neutral force like themselves that did not contend with worldly matters, it would be fine.

But the Shenxiao Sect was not like that. In recent years, the Shenxiao True Monarch from the sect had been rising meteorically, without parallel, and stirring the winds and clouds of the world.

If Dragon Tiger Mountain were to acquiesce to this matter, it would mean actively participating in the chaos of the world.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qicang let out a cold laugh, glanced at his junior brother, and said, “Little brother, do you think that the current situation of Heaven and Earth is still the same as before, where one can isolate oneself from the world?”

The world has changed, it’s no longer the same as it was. The previous actions of Dragon Tiger Mountain were not wrong, but to continue in the same way under the current circumstances is to be abandoned by the times.

“Please enlighten me, older brother,” said the Second Generation Celestial Master with a solemn expression, adopting an attitude of seeking instruction.

Of course, this was because the other party was his senior brother; had it been anyone else speaking to the Second Generation Celestial Master in such a manner, he would surely have become angry.

Bai Qicang actually knew that his junior brother was not clueless, but merely perplexed for a moment, being in the midst of the situation and not realizing it.
