The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Even though all the strong members of the Shenxiao Sect were aware that the successor to the Sect Leader wasn’t just chosen from among the True Immortals and the many other Supreme Overlords who possessed the combat power of a True Immortal but had yet to certify their Tao.

Expanding this range to include all Supreme Strong would naturally come with many stringent requirements and conditions, likely to disqualify many, yet still unable to dampen their enthusiasm.

After all, when faced with the arrival of an opportunity, whether one is qualified is very important.

If it was explicitly confined to True Immortals and Supreme Overlords with the strength of True Immortals, ordinary Supreme Strong would undoubtedly feel somewhat disappointed without needing to say anything.

However, if they were to be included in this range, they would know they had no chance and did not meet the qualifications and would be excluded, yet they would feel much less resentment.

Indeed, as expected, whenever Pang Hong announced his abdication, and that the selection range for the successor to the Sect Leader would be expanded to all Supreme Strong, countless mighty ones within the Shenxiao Sect rejoiced.

Moreover, many clever cultivators instantly understood the underlying meaning of this regulation, realizing the Sect Leader seemed to intend to pass on the position to a Supreme Strong, not necessarily a True Immortal.

"Father, do you mean that the Sect Leader doesn’t want other True Immortals or Supreme Overlords with the strength of a True Immortal to take over the position, but instead plans to pass it to a certain Supreme Strong?" a Cultivator of the Spirit Realm Eighth Layer asked in shock after hearing his father’s words.

As the Shenxiao Sect grew stronger, ten thousand years passed, which was enough for many changes to occur. Although the Shenxiao Sect was purely a sect, within the sect itself, cultivating families inevitably formed as cultivators took wives and had children.

Of course, the emergence of these cultivator families did not significantly impact the Shenxiao Sect because, although the advantage of bloodline inheritance was initially significant, it could not ultimately claim all the resources.

One must understand that the atmosphere and trends within the Shenxiao Sect determined that those who are capable rise while the mediocre fall. If one wants to use resources to boost and promote their close affiliates, that’s fine, but you also need to pay your own price. It’s not something you can achieve through nepotism.

Therefore, within the entire Shenxiao Sect, even though there are cultivator families, the mainstream still primarily relies on the transmission from master to apprentice because even cultivator families cannot guarantee that they will always have genius descendants to maintain their family’s standing.

In the Shenxiao Sect, where the capable rise, intense competition is implied. If someone simply due to blood ties and personal feelings, impeded their own development, this was something they could not comprehend.
