The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings-Chapter 558 - : 506

Chapter 558: 506

Xue Renfang left Pei Xuanjing’s Taoist Academy quietly, just as he had arrived. Aside from a few people, no one knew that a powerful being, at the seventh level of the Spirit Realm, had ever come to the academy.

However, unlike the confidence Xue Renfang had before his arrival, he still felt somewhat troubled when he left, despite achieving his goal.

He was clear that the contract he had signed with Pei Xuanjing not long ago was a bit of a gamble. He bet that Pei Xuanjing, as he understood him, was not the kind to resort to schemes, and that he would nullify the contract according to their agreement on its expiration.

Otherwise, Pei Xuanjing could easily switch things up. For instance, they agreed that the contract would end after the restoration of Heaven and Earth, when the strong forces of the Sky Wasteland return and the contract becomes void.

But if Pei Xuanjing really wants to alter the concept, he could circulate parts of the contract beforehand, and let the news of his signature go public, leaving Xue Renfang in a difficult position.

…

Inside the Taoist Academy, Pei Xuanjing fiddled with a snow-white object similar to a ceremonial tablet in his hand. Made by infusing the power of incense fire and ancient jade, it bore the terms of the contract he proposed with Xue Renfang, crafted using the same techniques as his Sanbao Jade Ruyi.

Of course, compared with Pei Xuanjing’s Sanbao Jade Ruyi, this white object wasn’t comparable. But perhaps one day, when Pei Xuanjing would have all the strongmen under his control, signing contracts acknowledging him, and worshipping this object with incense fire’s infinite power, it might have its incredible value.

However, at present, the symbolic significance of this object was definitely greater than its practical meaning.

Pei Xuanjing was unaware of Xue Renfang’s thoughts, but even if he knew, he would just smile without concern.

Pei Xuanjing named this contract he drew up the ‘Immortal and Mortal Covenant!’

Just from this name, one could tell that Pei Xuanjing had great expectations for it, hoping that it could become a real set of rules to constrain the Fairy Gods, thereby protecting ordinary mortal martial artists.

While Pei Xuanjing may use an open scheme, or enforce his will with force, he would never resort to treachery.

After all, what he wanted to do was establish rules, erecting a set of rules is not easy, but breaking them is simple. If he resorts to schemes to pressurize others, aside from this not being in line with his style, it’s also directly against the principles set by the contract.

As such, he wouldn’t lightly ruin a contract that he places so much hope in.

“Next, I need to open branches for the Taoist Academy all over the world, and move ahead with the contribution points’ plan.” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.

Xue Renfang’s arrival was more of an interlude, and Pei Xuanjing took the opportunity to devise this contract.

In fact, his initial plan was to launch the contribution point exchange and open more academies, so that more martial artists would have the opportunity to receive guidance.

After all, compared to the countless martial artists out there, even if the academy recruits disciples every year, it’s like a drop in the ocean.

Only by opening more academies across the world can more martial artists have the chance to learn skills and receive guidance.

Although as more academies open, Pei Xuanjing may be unable to manage them all, neglecting some, inevitably leading to problems. But Pei Xuanjing thought it was a small probability event.

Compared to the opportunity of providing more martial artists with the chance to cultivate, these issues are worth disregarding. He can’t always be overly cautious and thereby achieve nothing.

The reason Pei Xuanjing had not immediately launched his plan was due to concerns in maintaining confidentiality for those who would exchange their cultivation skills. Now that this problem has been resolved, there is no need for him to hesitate further.

“The revival of Heaven and Earth has been going on for dozens of years. Although the speed of this revival has now slowed down, more and more people from the Sky Wasteland have returned. The time left for the original martial artists of the Daming World is not much.” Pei Xuanjing sighed.

At the beginning of the revival, people from Sky Wasteland could not return due to the restrictions of Heaven and Earth.

As dozens of years have passed, Heaven and Earth can accommodate more and more powerful beings, naturally leading to an increasing number of arrivals.

The Sky Wasteland is filled with abundant Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, cultivation was not affected there. Even normal humans growing up in such an environment would enter the Mortal Realm as a martial artist with a bit of cultivation, presenting a considerable advantage as compared to the average people in Daming World.

Especially now that countless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Materials have been born, the emergence of the Cave Heavens and Blessed Lands has allowed these returnees to seize many opportunities that should have belonged to the martial artists of the Daming World.

If Pei Xuanjing does not push this plan promptly, by the time all these returnees are completely back, the greatest benefit of the revival of Heaven and Earth may not befall the martial artists of the Daming World, they might miss this opportunity and continue to remain at the bottom level.

So, Pei Xuanjing decided to push his plan in spite of these minor issues, to offer them a chance to fight, even if it means having to lose at the end. After all, it is better than doing nothing at all.

Pei Xuanjing sought Qingyang Zi and told him about his plan.

Qingyang Zi was very supportive of Pei Xuanjing’s thoughts.

Pei Xuanjing asked, “In our academy, which instructors could be of great use and be made heads of the branch academies?”

According to his thoughts, the way this academy is to be built could completely follow the education system of his former world.

Now, apart from the Four Capital Territories, the rest of the administrative divisions of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty are divided into State Roads, Prefectures, and County Cities.

Pei Xuanjing could easily divide the disciples of the Taoist Academy based on this three-tier system and teach them accordingly.

Common disciples could begin learning from county towns, like taking exams. Only upon reaching a certain realm could they be promoted to the next level of academies to study.

“There are indeed some instructors in the academy who can handle the situation on their own,” Qingyang Zi slowly said after considering it for a moment.

While speaking, he had quickly reviewed the many instructors in the academy in his mind and recalled their daily actions and assessments.

No one knew these instructors better than Qingyang Zi as he managed the day-to-day operations of the academy, even though Pei Xuanjing was the headmaster.

“In that case, you can start by spreading the news and see how everyone reacts. Once they have reacted, we can then make specific decisions,” Pei Xuanjing said.
