The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 2005: Chapter 1950–1951: Talisman Sword Skill – The Sword Emperor’s Thoughts (Part 2)

Bai Qicang wielded his sword, casting sword shadows across the sky, transforming into countless talismans. These talismans seemed to be innate runes, containing unimaginable power. As the sword shadows danced, the talismans connected one after another, forming a giant sword net that enveloped Zhu Jiuyin.

Zhu Jiuyin looked at the sword net in front of him, divine light bursting from his eyes. His ancient chime gently struck, waves of sound invoking the phantom of the River of Time, seemingly isolating the River into three segments: past, present, and future.

Within these three segments of the River of Time, Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch appeared in each. The future figure stepped forward, a torrent of power piercing through the River of Time, landing on the present figure, and then, without pause, surged towards the past figure.

The aura of the original, weakest past figure, after receiving the power infusion from the future and present figures, suddenly became powerful, and the three figures linked together, forming a cycle of strength, from past to present to future, always strong, never weak.

“Kill!”

The past figure, present figure, and future figure, the three Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witches, attacked simultaneously, their terrifying power shaking the heavens and earth, with the present figure confronting Bai Qicang’s sword shadows directly.

However, the past and future figures seemed to cross time directly, attacking Bai Qicang’s past and future.

Break the Three Lives!

This is how the Witch God Sect Leader described Zhu Jiuyin’s move. He utilized the phantom of the River of Time to summon the past and future figures, merging them with the present, balancing his power to its peak, ensuring he never had a weak moment, standing invincible.

Simultaneously, with the special efficacy of the River of Time, he avoids direct slaughter with the opponent, instead, attacking the opponent’s past and future.

By killing the opponent when they were weak in the past, annihilating them at their strongest in the present, and severing the future of a strong opponent, they could truly erase the opponent from past, present, and future, as if they never existed.

When cultivators reach the True Immortal Realm, they attain longevity. Unless faced with the Heavenly Person Five Declines or imprisonment, they generally possess almost immortal lifespans.

Even if some True Immortals encounter calamity and fall, as long as their life imprint doesn’t completely disappear, after countless cycles of reincarnation, there is always a sliver of chance for resurgence.

After ascending to the Taoist Monarch level, mastering the Daoist Rules Origin Authority, and becoming a Taoist Monarch, as long as one’s Dao Authority is intact, they are nearly eternal with the Great Tao, undying as long as the Tao exists.

The life force of a Taoist Monarch is thousands of times that of a True Immortal Strong. As long as their Authority remains intact, even if they are suppressed or temporarily fall, they can still revive with the existence of the Great Tao.

Yet Zhu Jiuyin’s Break the Three Lives directly attacks a cultivator at their weakest and erases the traces of their future.

Facing such an attack, even Bai Qicang felt an eerie threat, as if fate itself destined his future demise.

“Unfortunately, I do not believe in fate! The Magic Sword in my hand is enough to cut through all threats!” A cold sword light appeared in Bai Qicang’s eyes, slicing through some of the threats.

The Magic Sword soared across the void, emitting a fierce sword chant, vast and rolling like thunder, intimidating and shaking the Divine Soul, difficult to stabilize. Sharp sword lights burst out.

Each sliver of sword light was composed of talismans; Bai Qicang understood the true meaning of the Sword Path and the origin of talismans, each slash he made was a powerful talisman, capable of penetrating a True Immortal’s body.

Although he was born on Dragon Tiger Mountain, practicing the Talismanic Skill and Thunder Method, he was also a Swordman, holding great trust in the Magic Sword in his hand.

Zhu Jiuyin’s body remained eternally unmoving, with an ancient sun dial floating above, radiating powerful brilliance that blocked fierce and sharp attacks. Under the sun dial, all power was worn away by the time contained within, as if inherently undefeated. Even Bai Qicang’s Talisman Sword, powerful and unparalleled, struggled to truly penetrate the sun dial’s defense.

In Zhu Jiuyin’s hand, the ancient chime struck continuously, emitting melodious sounds, yet they seemed like a soul-reaping melody, haunting and lethal.

The talismans merged into the Magic Sword, cutting through the void. Bai Qicang, incarnated as a majestic Holy Sword, noble and unparalleled, spanned the Chaos Void, obscuring the light of countless stars. The forceful sword light directly shattered the chaos, one world after another under the Magic Sword’s rule destroyed, representing the true supreme Sword Path.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang

Swirls rotated at the collapsing points of chaos, resembling splashes in a vast ocean, spreading in all directions, with bottomless black holes continuously turning, swallowing countless Chaos Qi.

A fierce sword light illuminated the Chaos Void, slicing open the phantom of the sun corona, standing once more in the chaos, undeterred by the chime’s might, the crisp sword ring as if confronting the chime’s sound, confronting each other from afar, aiming to tear the Chaos Void apart.

Even in ancient times, Zhu Jiuyin Ancestor Witch stood at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, traversed the Ancient Times Space, despite experiencing the changes of heaven and earth, he descended to this era. Now, his cultivation has advanced further into the Taoist Monarch realm, mastering the Time Dao, with limitless divine might, enough to overlook the beings of heaven and earth, standing at the peak of life.

Though not as terrifying as when standing at the pinnacle without opponents in ancient times, with the defiance of Time Laws, he was by no means a mere figure, even possessing the ability to reverse the Heavenly Earthly Force.

A true Taoist Monarch strong is enough to awe the Realms of Heavenly Seas, no matter where they go, they are the noblest existence.

However, though such a God-Devil is immensely powerful, capable of matching the truly pinnacle Taoist Monarch strong, with techniques and Divine Abilities that can contest the Taoist Monarch, ultimately, standing is not on par with a true Taoist Monarch.

A Taoist Monarch, mastering all the Great Tao, favored by the heaven and earth, as long as the heaven and earth are indestructible, the Taoist Monarch is unperishable. Even if their physical body is destroyed, their Primordial Spirit shattered, and suppressed for countless ages, they can stand again, returning to the heaven and earth, standing at the pinnacle.

The terror of the Taoist Monarch lies in this, no matter your Divine Techniques and skills, as long as their Authority remains, they cannot be completely annihilated, at most suppressed. Once they break free from seals, they will bring catastrophic disaster, which is why many Taoist Monarchs are extremely wary when dealing with each other.

Taoist Monarchs inherently stand undefeated, connected to the Original Source of Heaven and Earth, leveraging the Heavenly Earthly Force to suppress the Divine Land World, as the Realms of Heavenly Seas’ most noble existence, true agents of the heaven exercising the Dao, educating the world.

According to common sense, True Immortals can already achieve longevity, especially those True Immortal Strong who have obtained the Divine Position. However, the top True Immortals of countless Divine Continent Worlds, especially those who touch the Taoist Monarch level, all desire to seize creation and ascend to the position of Taoist Monarch.

The fundamental reason is that if they cannot achieve their destiny as a Taoist Monarch, without acknowledgement from the Will of the Heaven and Earth, they face the risk of annihilation in future cataclysms.

These True Immortals, who have fought and grown since the War of Sealing Gods, naturally wish to exist eternally between heaven and earth. Achieving Taoist Monarchhood would grant them a form of true immortality, free from any catastrophe or calamity, an irresistible temptation.

Thus, even knowing that many Taoist Monarchs manipulate worldly affairs with hidden ambitions, these True Immortals can only follow and contribute, all for seizing creation and achieving their own legends.
