The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 319: 256: The Threat of Thunder Tribulation

Ministry of War, strategizing on how to counter the recent suppression of Wang Qiong by the emperor, Wang Boan’s expression suddenly darkened, and an overwhelming force in destabilizing people’s minds surged through his body, only to vanish in an instant.

Although Wang Qiong was a third-grade martial artist who initially made a breakthrough by refining a peculiar object, his strength was not impressive due to his rare appearances in battles.

However, the fleeting terrifying aura from Wang Boan made him pale, and he involuntarily turned his gaze toward Wang Boan.

Without immediately answering, Wang Boan stood up and walked to the window of the pavilion, staring at the direction of Baiyun Temple for a long time without uttering a word.

Deep within the Imperial City, an old white-haired eunuch, who was leisurely holding a book in one of the royal pavilions, also changed his complexion drastically. His face was full of shock, and even when the book in his hand fell to the floor, he did not notice. He muttered to himself, “Could this be…”

“Plop! ”

Zhu Yousong, who was at the time healing through his martial cultivation, was enveloped by this horrifying aura. He instantly felt his energy and blood surge, causing him to cough up a mouthful of fresh blood.

Fortunately, the aura was not targeted at him, but only interrupted his healing process, without worsening his injuries.

Within Baiyun Temple, Daoist Xuanming felt this terrifying aura, and immediately left his room. Looking up at the terrifying thunder in the sky, he frowned and involuntarily walked in the direction of Pei Xuanjing.

He soon encountered many of the temple’s top experts, as well as Yu Zhenzi who shared his suspicion. They looked at each other and headed towards Pei Xuanjing together.

However, before they arrived, the terrifying aura suddenly disappeared. The roaring thunder in the sky, as if it had lost its target, also dissipated.

“Everyone?”

Feeling people approaching, Pei Xuanjing opened the door just in time to see Daoist Xuanming and Yu Zhenzi in the lead.

Seeing Pei Xuanjing’s robe soaked in sweat, Daoist Xuanming thought to himself that it was indeed as he expected.

He did not speak immediately but dispersed the crowd of the temple’s elite who had gathered before walking into Pei Xuanjing’s room with Yu Zhenzi.

“Please wait a moment while I change into a fresh set of clothes,” Pei Xuanjing said with a smile.

They didn’t rush, so they sat down and quietly waited for Pei Xuanjing.

After a short while, Pei Xuanjing, dressed in a new robe, walked out.

“I assume you have come regarding the incident just now?” Before they could ask, Pei Xuanjing took the initiative to admit, “Indeed, the incident was caused by me.”

To be honest, even Pei Xuanjing did not expect that his breakthrough this time would cause such a huge commotion.

Pei Xuanjing, who had just cultivated his Yin Spirit, was in a very mystical state. He felt as if he was more in sync with heaven and earth, and just wanted to experience what it felt like to be in the Yin Spirit Realm.

He didn’t realize how many times stronger he had become, and just like before, he summoned his Yin Spirit without deliberately controlling his aura.

However, before he could fully take in the marvels of the Yin Spirit’s use, he realized that his momentum was many times stronger than he had thought.

In an instant, he sensed the convergence of Thunder Tribulation from the sky above and immediately understood that it was because the world hadn’t recovered yet, and his cultivation to Yin Spirit meant breaking the shackles of nature, attracting the attention of heaven and earth with every move.

Also, because his breakthrough didn’t involve facing the Thunder Tribulation, it was akin to entering the train first and buying the ticket later, naturally attracting the convergence of Thunder Tribulation in an instant.

So, upon understanding all these, Pei Xuanjing immediately retracted his aura, causing the heavenly thunder onslaught to temporarily recede.

However, this also meant that until heaven and earth truly recovered, unless he wanted to immediately face the Thunder Tribulation, he must not release the aura of the Yin Spirit completely, as it would inevitably attract the Thunder Tribulation.

One could say, although this breakthrough allowed Pei Xuanjing to enter the Spirit Realm, it had imposed many invisible restrictions on him.

Upon witnessing Pei Xuanjing’s candidness, Daoist Xuanming couldn’t help but ask, “Are you implying that you’ve made a breakthrough!”

However, as soon as he posed the question, he shook his head, thinking that it couldn’t be possible.

Truthfully, with Baiyun Temple’s longstanding legacy and Daoist Xuanming’s understanding of the shackles of heaven and earth, he should know very well that it’s difficult to enter the Spirit Realm before the recovery of heaven and earth. Those countless geniuses throughout thousands of years have failed to break this rule, so trying to make a breakthrough is pretty much wishful thinking.

Regardless of Pei Xuanjing’s extraordinary talents, it did not seem possible for him to break this rule. He probably was just practicing a peerless martial study.

Yu Zhenzi, on the other hand, gave Daoist Xuanming a surprised look. He originally thought that his admiration for their Sect Leader’s strength was unparalleled, but to his surprise, the expectation that this Head of Baiyun Temple held for the Sect Leader far exceeded his own.

But Yu Zhenzi certainly thought that the other party was overthinking. If the shackles of heaven and earth could be broken so easily, then it wouldn’t have been the case that so many heroes since ancient times are still restricted by it.

However, to their surprise, Pei Xuanjing’s answer almost made them lose their composure.

“Yes!” Pei Xuanjing did not hide the truth, he openly acknowledged it.

Since he had made a breakthrough, Pei Xuanjing naturally did not think of concealing it, so he disclosed everything straightforwardly.

Clang.

Hearing Pei Xuanjing’s answer, both of them immediately jumped to their feet, not even noticing their chairs falling over.

Both of them were looking at Pei Xuanjing with a disbelief, their bodies trembling, and they both exclaimed, “What?”

They gazed at Pei Xuanjing, despite hearing his response just now, both of them almost thought they were hallucinating, they couldn’t believe it.

Pei Xuanjing remained calm and serene, and responded with a smile, “Yes, I have indeed entered the Spirit Realm.”

“Taoist friend, you must not be joking!” Daoist Xuanming exclaimed.

Initially he thought that Pei Xuanjing was jesting, but when he remembered Pei Xuanjing’s extraordinary talents, he suddenly felt that all the unreasonable phenomena happening around Pei Xuanjing were so logical.

Therefore, he couldn’t help himself but ask.

“Sect Leader, is this true?” Yu Zhenzi, too, looked completely incredulous and wanted to confirm once again.

Both of them found it hard to believe for the moment. According to the laws of nature, it should be impossible for anyone to break the shackles of heaven and earth to enter the Spirit Realm when heaven and earth haven’t recovered yet. With a smile and without uttering a word, Pei Xuanjing slowly released his aura.

Boom!

Even a minor trace of this aura was enough to change the color of their faces. Although they had never encountered a Spirit Realm powerhouse before, such a terrifying aura was enough to chill anyone to the bone.

At this moment, feeling such terrifying pressure, they finally dispelled any doubts they had in their minds and acknowledged that Pei Xuanjing had indeed reached the Spirit Realm.

To be clear, even though Pei Xuanjing was powerful before, he wasn’t intimidating enough to make them lose courage.

Such divine might probably only belonged to the Spirit Realm powerhouses of ancient legends..
