The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

"I did not kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me."

Although this sentence might not fit perfectly here, the outcome of causing unrelated individuals to sacrifice themselves due to one’s actions is something no normal person would want to see.

Especially when you have the full capability to avoid such a situation, yet still choose to do so, it truly is a descent into the Demonic Way, a departure from your own path.

For Pei Xuanjing, having reached his level of cultivation, what truly sustains him is his belief and understanding, commonly known as the Taoist Heart.

The Taoist Heart is the very foundation of a True Immortal. With the strength of a True Immortal, even if there are issues with the Cultivation skill, or if they strayed from the True Immortal Path, they always had the opportunity to start over, which does not influence them at all.

However, if their Taoist Heart becomes clouded and loses its true essence, then for a True Immortal, the very foundation of their identity is shaken, and they will lose the credentials to start anew.

Even if this instance of life simulation failure was acceptable for Pei Xuanjing, should his firmly held Taoist Heart be shaken, it would mean that everything Pei Xuanjing had stood for had been meaningless, and his foundation as a True Immortal would be damaged, something that no amount of simulation could ever repair.

Although Pei Xuanjing was aware that the Life Simulator allowed him to reach today’s position, it merely helped shorten Time, accelerating the process of cultivation and compensating for many instances of Opportunistic Fortune.

What really brought him to this day was his unwavering Taoist Heart, allowing him to persist no matter what he experienced in the Life Simulator or the setbacks encountered in reality, eventually reaching the summit.

Without the Taoist Heart, he would lose everything.

Therefore, Pei Xuanjing would never act in such a way.

Of course, apart from suppressing his powers, Pei Xuanjing also had other options. With his abilities, it would be easy to disguise himself as part of the God Clan.

But Pei Xuanjing still gave it up, without even considering it a bit, likely for the same reason as before: his very essence is of the human race, even if he’s now a True Immortal, an Innate God-Devil.
