The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 752: Chapter 702: Unafraid of Competition

Pei Xuanjing was well aware of the series of reactions caused by giving these Taoist Academy students more skill choices. But he neither intended to explain, nor did he think they deserved an explanation. Besides, he himself had his own considerations.

The Taoist Academies covered every corner of the world, virtually gathering cultivators from the most ordinary backgrounds. Those emerging from these academies were far from weak, their futures promising. They, too, had the complete right to build their own futures, rather than joining various forces out of necessity.

In the past, they would leave the Taoist Academies to join these forces, because they had no other choice for accessing cultivation skills and resources. This was done out of compulsion.

Now, Pei Xuanjing had given them another opportunity, allowing them a broader range of choices, enabling them to cultivate according to their own will.

“Although these major forces claim to be good for cultivation, aren’t they also a sort of shackle? After all, compared to their own disciples, the disciples of the Taoist Academy would have limited achievements even if they managed to join in, and few could make it to their core,” Pei Xuanjing reflected.

Any force would naturally show favoritism toward their core members. Although the disciples from the Taoist Academy may be excellent, they would never really penetrate into the innermost areas. Even if they possess the capability, they fall short in loyalty compared to the disciples who grew up within the forces.

In a way, if a disciple of the Taoist Academy joins any force, an invisible ceiling always exists, which few can break through.

And those who qualify and are capable of shattering this ceiling are truly exceptional among them. Even without joining these forces, as long as they don’t die prematurely, they can completely forge their own path.

Therefore, Pei Xuanjing’s move was to give them better choices.

Many people might think it meaningless, and they themselves may not care, but for Pei Xuanjing, their need for some things was not important; what mattered was whether these things existed or not.

Apart from these, because of Pei Xuanjing’s continued promotion of the Taoist Academy, countless academy graduates have left but still retain their entry passes to the academy’s contribution system, even if they roam the world alone or join other forces.

Everyone should understand that for the Academy’s system, apart from these students, the most significant convenience is the contribution point system. Whoever joins this system, it’s like they can utilize this platform, connecting to everyone on this platform, using their strength to gather the things they need.

Indeed, after many years of development, there was no need for Pei Xuanjing to manipulate anything behind the scenes. Once this system and platform were put in place, everything else emerged naturally.

Never underestimate human wisdom. When Pei Xuanjing constructed this contribution point system, he primarily regarded it as a platform for mutual exchange of cultivation practices.

However, this was Pei Xuanjing’s need, not necessarily the users’. When a Taoist Academy student once rewarded contribution points and traded for the cultivation resources they needed, this sort of thing gradually increased.

Later, when Bai Xiaosheng discovered these events, after receiving approval from Pei Xuanjing, he also began to infiltrate his influence and intentionally guide such initiatives.

Up to now, this contribution points system platform has fully developed, housing not only Taoist Academy students but also many Independent Practitioners, making the system enormously strong.

“I wonder how this system will evolve in the future,” Pei Xuanjing mused to himself.

Pei Xuanjing could quite imagine that in time, with more and more students from the Taoist Academy joining various forces, those forces would slowly start to join this system.

His existence, undoubtedly, acted as an endorsement that would attract entry from various forces, gradually pulling together all the forces between heaven and earth.

As for whether anyone or any force would seek to emulate and replicate this system after comprehending its benefits, Pei Xuanjing did not worry at all.

Setting aside the fact that the actual foundation of the Taoist Academy’s contribution point system was Pei Xuanjing’s own open mindset of freely exchanging skills and the spiritual network established by the division of his vast spiritual consciousness,

both of these are necessary, and one cannot be missing.

Aside from the difficulty of finding a powerful entity capable of establishing a spiritual consciousness network like this, even if one could, the skills they could provide in exchange would be lacking.

If they cannot provide sufficient skills, how could they attract more people to join the system? In Pei Xuanjing’s view, even a top force, despite divulging their treasured skills, would struggle to support or compete with his present system.

After all, Pei Xuanjing’s system had been constantly improved over several decades to form a mature, self-sufficient system that operated in a closed loop at the lower levels.

However, due to a lack of high-level skills to break the ceilings, Pei Xuanjing’s Taoist Academy had become a kind of talent incubator and served as a bridal gown for these major forces.

Given the current circumstances, even if these forces could accomplish this, all they would have achieved is a start. They would still lack students. The title “Taoist Academy” had deeply lodged in people’s hearts. They would have to expend significant effort to compete with it.

So Pei Xuanjing wasn’t worried about these possibilities. Even if someone could complete these steps to compete with him, he wasn’t afraid.

If he still couldn’t beat the others when he was in such a favorable position, then he had no one to blame but himself if he lost.

Ditching all these thoughts, Pei Xuanjing focussed entirely on observing, reading, deducing skills, and accumulating Taoyun.

There’s no concept of years in the mountains, but a thousand years had already passed in the world.

Time was quickly passing, and in the blink of an eye, twenty years passed. These twenty years might have seen a new generation for mortals, but for most cultivators, it was just a period of retreat.

In this time, nearly half of the construction of the Anchoring Array was completed. According to the original plan, the rest should be finished within 30 years, kickstarting the grand plan of merging the two worlds.

In these twenty years, Pei Xuanjing hadn’t left Shenxiao Mountain. Had his incarnations not been frequently visiting various Taoist Academies to preach, almost everyone would have thought that he had entered retreat again.

“Finally, I’ve gathered enough Taoyun to start the next simulat
