The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Sometimes, the person who understands oneself the most is always one’s enemy, or rather, one’s peer.

Earth Virtue Star Lord was able to rise in the Great Ming World and even procured an enfeoffment of a divine position as Star Lord, enough to prove his extraordinary means and strength.

However, he was after all an Independent Practitioner who had never truly joined a Sect, and did not understand how Sects operate, nor could he grasp the foundational principles of these powers.

Even though he had seen some powers rise and fall, heard some things from others, he had never truly experienced it himself, so at the end of the day, it was like looking at flowers in the fog, unable to truly perceive the truth.

But Water Virtue Star Lord was different; he hailed from a major Sect, and being able to obtain an enfeoffed Star Lord divine position also proved that he was even if not a revered teacher of the sect, still a core figure within. He naturally understood where the crux lay.

For forces such as Sects, their real foundational principle wasn’t Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, cultivation resources, or the protection of the powerful, but rather in the cohesiveness of the Sect or, in other words, the ’human heart’.

"Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, cultivation resources, protection of the powerful, these things are important components that establish Sects between heaven and earth, but they are not the core. Only the human heart is most important," explained Water Virtue Star Lord to Earth Virtue Star Lord, detailing the underlying reasons.

This core ideological secret, in days past, Water Virtue Star Lord would definitely not be willing to explain it easily, even to a power like Earth Virtue Star Lord.

But at this moment, as they were all in the same boat, and with the establishment of the Heavenly Court, it was destined that countless worlds would be incorporated into it, and numerous Sects would rise in power.

Water Virtue Star Lord knew that the era of acting alone had passed. Unless one could suppress the heavens and earth single-handedly like the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, everyone would need to ally with more partners in the coming developments to achieve greater benefits jointly.
