The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

It was exactly this kind of directness, without any beating around the bush, that cut straight to the chase.

This, in fact, was the style of most aspiring overlords; they had no interest in beating around the bush nor in wasting time on trivial matters, as each action they took had its purpose.

"If I claimed ignorance, I’m afraid it would disappoint the king and lead him to think I don’t live up to my reputation," Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, conceding without denial.

He knew full well that such powerful individuals were extremely pragmatic. If he were to feign ignorance of the other party’s intentions in seeking him out, it would not only be disrespectful to the Da Xue Country Lord but also a sign of insecurity about his own abilities.

So Bai Xiaosheng said directly, "The king’s intention today is to find out the real purpose behind the True Immortals’ drive to achieve Enthronement, isn’t it?"

Although he posed it as a question, Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes brimmed with confidence, not the slightest bit worried about the possibility of being contradicted or having guessed wrong.

An entity like the Da Xue Ancient Country also had its information network, and they were capable of investigating most matters. Amongst the many core secrets he held, only this secret should be of utmost concern to the Da Xue Country Lord.

The True Immortals are pushing so hard for the Enthronement, but what’s really behind it?

This wasn’t just a matter of curiosity for the Da Xue Country Lord; many other powerful figures just like him were also invested in the issue.

Those who had reached this stage understood one thing: there are no free lunches in this world. With every benefit comes a necessary price, the most equitable principle of nature.

Enthronement for longevity is indeed a boon for many cultivators. However, what must be offered in return for this longevity and divine position is unknown to the Da Xue Country Lord, and even to many other powerhouses in the world.

But he was aware that his old rival, the Great River Country Lord, must know something, for he surely received the will of Shenxiao True Monarch when he sent King Yuan to Shenxiao Mountain. Otherwise, he would never join the War of Sealing Gods at all costs.
