The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Anger beyond control!

This is the most direct feeling of Qingling Primordial Lord now. If anger could kill, the fury in his heart would be enough to burn Wood Virtue Star Lord, a power at the sixth layer of the True Immortal, to ashes.

Unfortunately, the anger in his heart, besides greatly affecting his emotions and thus impacting his judgment, poses no threat or damage to Wood Virtue Star Lord whatsoever.

Although Qingling Primordial Lord is furious, he also knows that his anger is meaningless. In a flash, he regains his rationality and begins to reflect on his current situation.

If it was before, he still believed there was a possibility to suppress Wood Virtue Star Lord and then seize the Wood Dao Authority, even if the opponent showed extraordinary combat prowess, it never made him entirely give up his plans.

However, at this moment, when Ju Mang Ancestor Witch appeared, Qingling Primordial Lord knew his plan had completely failed. It’s not even about whether his plan could succeed, but whether he could truly retreat wholly now.

The appearance of Ju Mang Ancestor Witch undoubtedly made him associate it with many unfavorable events, such as today’s ambush—is it really his own plan, or the opponent’s deliberate lure?

From the opposing perspective, if this Wood Virtue Star Lord were truly ruthless, it is entirely possible that the opponent is not just using his Wood Dao Authority for trade but might have joined forces with Ju Mang Ancestor Witch to pit against him, even treating him as a chip in their transaction to gain more benefits.

So much so, he speculates whether these two had already plotted and schemed, intending to show flaws deliberately to entice him into action.

If that’s the case, then the absence of those two Imperial Honors from Heavenly Court to stop his battle with Wood Virtue Star Lord is not only potentially tied to the will of the Taoist Monarch behind him, but even more likely that the Taoist Monarch from the Witch Deity Teaching has acted.

No matter if it’s the Taoist Monarch behind him acting or the Taoist Monarch of Witch Deity Teaching stopping those two Imperial Honors, it means he will be unable to obtain any help from Heavenly Court.

"Truly ridiculous, originally thinking that the Imperial Honors from Heavenly Court acting would thwart my plan. Yet, whether they appear or not concerns my own life." Qingling Primordial Lord mocks himself internally.

As a cultivator on the Great Path of Wood, his understanding of Ju Mang Ancestor Witch is certainly not less, perhaps even more than that of Wood Virtue Star Lord.
