The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 647: Chapter 597 Supreme Master of Canglang Palace

That’s right, just as Wu Shijiu and Zhu Houji had thought, the ones they need to worry about are not themselves, but the people from Canglang Palace.

“Worthless, all of you are worthless.” The Palace Master of Canglang Palace sat in his high seat, looking down at the people below and barking angrily.

As a powerhouse in the Spirit Realm Eightfold, when he was angry, even the unintentional release of his aura was enough to terrify people. The cultivators from Canglang Palace standing below, were fearful and dared not utter a word.

The master of Canglang Palace sat grim-faced, looking at the frightened crowd below, and wondering where to vent his anger.

He never thought that his careful plot, including inviting the Third Supreme Elder back to the ancestral land to prepare for the upcoming Great World, was for securing a favorable position in advance, but now everything was ruined.

The cause of all this was because one disciple from his family, who was merely in the Spirit Realm five-fold, provoked a disciple of Pei Xuanjing. This sparked a series of conflicts that culminated in the Third Supreme Elder of Canglang Palace, himself an Eightfold Spirit Realm powerhouse, being slain and many cultivators self-destructing.

From the perspective of the Palace Master of Canglang, this was ridiculously absurd, but it was a fact and there was no remedy for it.

“Do you all not care about your connection to the ancestral land?” The Palace Master of Canglang Palace asked coldly, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

This time, not only was the base of Canglang Palace in the ancestral land destroyed and many cultivator powerhouses fell, but even the news was sent back by the Sky Mechanism Pavilion. It was a ridicule, a great lose of face for him and for the entire Canglang Palace.

“We’ve failed in our duties, please punish us, palace master!”

The people hurriedly apologized.

Looking at the people in front of him, and their appearances, made the Palace Master of Canglang Palace even angrier and more dissatisfied.

What he needed were people who could share his worries, not a bunch of trash that only knew how to apologize and admit their mistakes when problems arose.

Did it mean that all the people Canglang Palace had nurtured over the years were incompetent subordinates? Just a group of tools that could only take orders and apologize for their mistakes?

“All of you, leave.” Suddenly feeling somewhat helpless, the Palace Master of the Canglang Palace waved his hand to dismiss the people.

He didn’t want to get angry at these people anymore. He was so disappointed that he suddenly felt it was meaningless to be angry with them.

But these people didn’t realize that they had lost the trust and expectations of the palace master in a short time. When they heard that the Palace Master of Canglang Palace had dismissed them, they breathed a sigh of relief as if granted a great pardon, and quickly left.

“Sigh!”

Within the spacious and grand hall, the Palace Master of Canglang Palace sat alone and sighed softly.

“How do you plan to deal with this matter!” A deep voice echoed in the hall.

“Master!” Hearing this voice, the Palace Master of Canglang Palace looked up. An middle-aged man had appeared in the hall at some point. The voice just now was his.

He was the Palace Master’s master, and also the Grand Supreme Elder of Canglang Palace. The man who, according to legend, had never been defeated even when confronting those at the Nine Realms of Spirit. His existence was what made Canglang Palace emerge from many first-class powers and become a dominant force.

However, this Grand Supreme Elder had been in seclusion for a while now, exploring and searching for an opportunity to step into the Nine Realms of Spirit, so he didn’t have time to manage these things.

Therefore, it was quite surprising for the Palace Master of Canglang Palace to see his master come out of seclusion.

“Master, were you not in closed-door cultivation? Did you make any gains when you came out this time?” As he spoke, there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

“I’ve made some progress in this period of seclusion, but reaching the Nine Realms of Spirit is extremely difficult. It’s not as simple as just making a breakthrough.” The Grand Supreme Elder shook his head ruefully.

The Nine Realms of Spirit were a step heavenward. The reason it was called the utmost powerhouse was because it was the pinnacle of power in many people’s eyes. They held invincible in the world. The only beings that could supposedly defeat them were the mythical Fairy Gods.

He had been wandering in the Spirit Realm Eightfold for thousands of years. Even though he had many times felt as if he had glimpsed the secrets of the next level, he never managed to take that step and was always stopped at the door.

This step was so difficult that it had blocked countless cultivators throughout history. Many geniuses and heroes were only able to turn back regretfully when faced with this insurmountable gap, eventually turning into dust.

Shaking his head, the Grand Supreme Elder cast away his loneliness and looked at the Palace Master, asking, “How do you plan to deal with the situation regarding the ancestral land?”

When he first came out of seclusion, he just wanted to relax his mind, adjust his condition, and continue to close himself off from the world to comprehend the way of heaven, looking for an opportunity to step into the Nine Realms of Spirit.

However, upon hearing the news just as he came out of his seclusion, he changed his plan and wanted to ask about it.

“Master, I believe that this incident was no accident. A common disciple would never have the audacity to provoke the other side. Someone must have been stirring up trouble. There must be a puppet master behind this affair.” The Palace Master of Canglang Palace replied with a frown.

He had a clear understanding of the circumstances of this matter. According to his understanding and the news he received from the Sky Mechanism Pavilion, although there was no concrete evidence yet, he was certain that someone was stirring up troubles from behind the scenes.

Canglang Palace, as a dominant force, holds many benefits, naturally making it the targets of envy and clashes with other forces. They also had many enemies.

This time, his early preparations in the ancestral land put him ahead of his competitors. Therefore, there must have been some who were displeased and stirred up trouble, trying to drag them into the water.

“Let’s not discuss this for now, and it’s also meaningless to discuss it right now. We’ll handle it later. The pressing matter now is how to deal with this incident, or more accurately, how to deal with Pei Xuanjing.” The Grand Supreme Elder shook his head without delving into the matter, instead asking about his plans.

The people behind the scenes seemed to have done a crude job on this matter, deliberately leaving many traces behind. It was probably easy for people to notice that there was manipulation from behind the scenes. Perhaps the puppet master planned it this way and didn’t intend to deliberately conceal anything, forcing Canglang Palace to take action.

But no matter what, the matter had now reached this point. They had already clashed with Pei Xuanjing and borne a deep grudge against him, paying a heavy price in the process. Thus, the other matters could be temporarily suppressed and the top priority now was to resolve the issue at hand.

The strength that Pei Xuanjing demonstrated currently shocked countless people. He could suppress the incarnation of the Taixu Venerable with just one of his incarnations. Such a feat was terrifying in the eyes of the Grand Supreme Elder. Even though he himself had an unbeaten record against the strongest of the Nine Realms of Spirit, he was not sure if he could achieve the same.
