The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 624: Chapter 574: Zhao Baiyang’s Invitation

“Hahaha, brother Zi, you sure do get straight to the point. Well, I won’t beat around the bush either.” Zhao Baiyang said with a hearty laugh.

He is not known for dancing around the subject. Since Zi Tianxiong spoke up, he will also state his purpose clearly.

“This time, I invited you two here to formally invite you to join our Demonic Cult Alliance.” Zhao Baiyang adjusted his expression and said solemnly.

This is the second time Zhao Baiyang has proposed inviting them to join the Demonic Cult Alliance.

In the early stages of the alliance’s formation, he had already invited them to unite in order to resist the Taoist Alliance, the Aristocratic Alliance, and the Buddhism School among others.

However, at the time he was politely declined by the two, who only agreed to cooperate but did not wish to join the Demonic Cult Alliance.

Thus, the collaboration between the three entities has been maintained for decades, while other forces have assumed that they have already united when in reality they are merely allies.

But now Zhao Baiyang was unwilling to wait any longer. The forces in the Sky Wasteland returned too quickly, and were far too powerful. There was not much time left for them to develop.

Although recently, Zhao Baiyang had killed several Great Demons and defeated a Seventh Level Spiritual Realm Demon King, thereby intimidating the others, he was aware that it was only a temporary scenario.

Right now, those people chose to avoid causing trouble and chose to retreat, but once they return completely, conflict between the two forces is inevitable.

Hence, Zhao Baiyang needed to be prepared in advance. He needed more strong allies, otherwise, even if he could go toe-to-toe with a Seventh Level Spiritual Realm cultivator, he would be unable to resist the pressure alone.

Given the current situation, the only strong allies he could invite were the pair. As for Xue Wuheng of the Demonic Cult, their relationship could only be that of allies and not of a true union.

The situation these two faced was similar to his own, with their powers also reaching a bottleneck. Even if they had outstanding disciples under their lead, their rise needed a long time to nurture, which they lacked.

Hence, the merging of the three forces seemed a good choice to Zhao Baiyang. With the three of them united, they could be equivalent to three Seventh Level Spiritual Realm power beings. If the Vajra Sect Leader, a master in the Way of Essence Refinement in the Demonic Cult Alliance, continued to break through, the combined power of the four would be formidable. Even if all the forces in Sky Wasteland returned, they could still maintain dominance and keep everything they currently have.

“This…”

Upon hearing Zhao Baiyang’s candid invitation once again, Zi Tianxiong seemed unsure and had difficulty making a decision.

As a titan and a strongman, he rarely exhibited such hesitation.

However, the circumstances were different. Deep down, Zi Tianxiong was reluctant to unite.

After all, he started his powers with his bare hands, and built everything through hard work. This was something Zi Tianxiong was most proud of in his life.

However, reality was staring him in the face. Even though he was aware that with his current strength he could face off against a Seventh Level Spiritual Realm cultivator, maintaining his current benefits after the return of various powers seemed highly unlikely.

He felt hesitant and regretful. Was he really going to give up everything he had worked hard to start over a hundred years ago?

Just as he was pondering, he heard Tie Qianshan, who had been silent all along, suddenly saying: “I agree. I accept!”

Um!

Zi Tianxiong sputtered with surprise and confusion. He glanced at Tie Qianshan, wondering why he had agreed so easily.

The Tie Sect, although with a long history, was in fact just a small power until it was thrust into prominence by Tie Qianshan. In Zi Tianxiong’s eyes, Tie Qianshan’s investment in Tie Sect was not less than his own. Why then did Tie Qianshan agree so decisively without any hesitation?

Not only was Zi Tianxiong astounded, but Zhao Baiyang, too, was taken aback upon hearing Tie Qianshan’s answer.

He and Tie Qianshan know each other very well. They’ve been acquainted for a very long time, Zhao Baiyang knew how much Tie Qianshan valued and cared for Tie Sect.

He had prepared many words in order to persuade Tie Qianshan, thinking about convincing him. But Tie Qianshan’s decisive acceptance ended up leaving Zhao Baiyang lost for words.

Tie Qianshan glanced at the two astonished men and asked: “Surprised, brother Zhao?”

“How could I not be surprised!” Zhao Baiyang sighed and shook his head: “I had prepared words to persuade the two of you, but your swift acceptance left me in a bit of a panic.”

At this moment, Zi Tianxiong spoke timely: “Are you sure about this, brother Tie? Are you ready to let go of everything the Tie Sect has achieved?”

He believed that Tie Qianshan was not one to back down easily, hence, he was curious about his thoughts.

Zhao Baiyang also looked at his few close friends curiously, hoping to figure out what had caused such a sudden change in his attitude.

“Nothing more, just clear reality.” Tie Qianshan sighed.

Seeing the two still looked doubtful, Tie Qianshan slowly said: “After witnessing the many aspiring individuals in Sky Wasteland, I now understand where I stand in the grand scheme of things.”

He asked the two: “What do you think of your own talent? How does it compare to the Grandmaster Pei from the Taoist School?”

Upon hearing Tie Qianshan’s question, neither immediately responded. Although they were confident in their own cultivation talent, this confidence was relative.

Compared to many ordinary cultivators, they would be hailed as strong, but when compared to the likes of Grandmaster Pei from the Taoist Academy, they paled in comparison.

Although Pei Xuanjing always claimed that his innate talent was average and nothing more than common, no one else ever took these comments seriously. They all believed such claims were nothing more than his humility. After all, his meteoric rise in such a short period of time proved that Pei Xuanjing was far from ordinary.
