The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 707: Chapter 657: Unequal Division of Loot

A fifty-fifty split?

This is a joke.

Not to mention that common cultivators would not agree, nor would the strongest among them do so. Even if they didn’t have a great demand for this will of Heaven and Earth, they couldn’t accept this.

As the first sect in name, with the Righteous Path under its control, what the Xuantian Sect represented was not only its own interests but also the interests of countless followers behind it.

So, without the need for other cultivators to speak, when Pei Xuanjing proposed this demand, he immediately stood up in opposition, and the reasons he gave were very reasonable.

They are not natives of Sky Wasteland, but old friends who left the Daming World, so they call this place the Ancestral Land.

The Sky Wasteland and the cultivators of the Ancestral Land each occupying half, as proposed by Pei Xuanjing, is actually unreasonable and unacceptable for them.

“Then, I wonder what division the Master thinks is appropriate?” Pei Xuanjing asked with a smile.

Even though his proposal was rejected, Pei Xuanjing was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and waited for the Master of Mystiq Sky to propose his acceptable plan.

The so-called bidding to the sky, paying on the ground. Pei Xuanjing’s request for a fifty-fifty split was a lion’s demand, not only did these people think so, but Pei Xuanjing himself also knew his request would not be accepted, he did not expect it to be passed.

In other words, Pei Xuanjing’s proposal for a fifty-fifty split was just a small test, to see the sincerity of the other side.

If these people readily agreed, then Pei Xuanjing would have to doubt in his heart whether these people really wanted to cooperate with him.

The Master of Mystiq Sky pondered, “We occupy ninety percent, and the National Teacher occupies ten percent.”

He expressed their idea, ninety to ten split, this method of division was not only the Master of Mystiq Sky’s idea but also the decision they had made long ago after consulting with many powerful beings.

Ten percent, it seemed small, but it was actually a lot.

You must know that those who took the initiative this time were almost all the most powerful beings in this Heaven and Earth, even if the cultivators of Sky Wasteland occupied ninety percent, each force and individual would actually not get much in the end.

Although Pei Xuanjing seemed to only take ten percent, but none of these forces and strong people in the Ancestral Land were qualified to share these things with Pei Xuanjing. In the end, the benefits that Pei Xuanjing took up definitely far exceeded the share anyone else had in hand, this was beyond doubt.

Originally, if Pei Xuanjing was a powerful being from Sky Wasteland, he certainly wouldn’t be able to take up such a large share, but because he is now the first strong being of Ancestral Land and has the advantage of timing and location, these strong beings cannot bypass Pei Xuanjing, hence were willing to make such a painful decision to give out so many benefits.

But these powerful beings, including Master of Mystiq Sky, who thought they were making sacrifices, didn’t taste right to Pei Xuanjing.

“Not enough!” Pei Xuanjing shook his head, and almost without thinking, he vetoed this scheme.

One tenth was too little, even though Pei Xuanjing had prepared to give in, but the other side was only willing to give him and his forces one-tenth of the benefits. From Pei Xuanjing’s point of view, it was still too little and not enough to share.

“National teacher, this tenth is already a lot,” said the Master of Mystiq Sky in a deep voice.

Although his face was still wearing a casual smile, his tone had changed slightly.

The many other powerful beings felt the same, their eyes were flashing with light, guessing what Pei Xuanjing was thinking. They wondered if the other side was too greedy.

Pei Xuanjing heard the change in the tone of the Master of Mystiq Sky but didn’t care at all. He still stuck to his own opinion and said, “As I said, one tenth is not enough.”

He was unmoved and did not approve of this initiative.

The Master of Mystiq Sky, though angry and dissatisfied in his heart, did not rush to speak. He began to remain silent, glancing at others.

After all, these things are not solely his business, he had already expressed his attitude by speaking up earlier, so now these people need to express their own stands as well.

As expected, immediately after, other powerful beings voiced their opinions, the Blood Fiend Ancestor spoke, “May I ask how much the national teacher wants?”

Although the Righteous Path and the Demonic Way have some disputes, in the current plan, if the share of Pei Xuanjing increases, it means that the share they originally occupied will reduce. This is something the Blood Fiend Ancestor and others would not like.

Indeed, no matter who it is, no one is willing to give up their own interests, whether it is now or in the future.

Pei Xuanjing stated his own requirements: “I request a thirty-seventy split.”

He didn’t beat around the bush, instead, he directly stated his own demand, a thirty-seventy split. He wanted to take thirty percent of the share.

Although it seemed that thirty percent was his and seventy percent belonged to others, Pei Xuanjing also knew that it was the maximum share he could ask for now. If he asked for more, these people would not possibly agree.

“This is impossible!”

The Blood Fiend Ancestor shook his head and denied it.

Thirty percent of the share meant that the proportion they originally held had to be reduced by another two tenths. When averaged to each of these powerful beings and forces, each side would lose a lot of shares.

Both sides quarreled over the share for a long time and argued heatedly for a long time, but they still held their own opinions and could not agree with each other’s demands.

After a long dispute, despite constant persuasion from various powerful beings, Pei Xuanjing still adhered to his own opinion and was not willing to compromise in the slightest.

Even if a powerful being like the Ancestor Celestial Master spoke out, but Pei Xuanjing wouldn’t give in to these people. He admitted that he could repay the favor of the Ancestor Celestial Master in other ways, but he could not compromise on this issue.

After all, Pei Xuanjing does not only represent himself at this moment, he also represents the interests of the original cultivators of Daming World, so he cannot compromise.

After a long discussion, the two sides had not come to a consensus. At this time, the top being of Sky Mechanism Pavilion, the Son of Calculation, slowly said, “Fellow Daoists, the old man has a suggestion, I wonder if everyone is willing to hear it?”

Hearing that the top being of the Sky Mechanism Pavilion spoke up, those who were arguing stopped and turned their eyes to the Son of Calculation, waiting for him to speak.

The Son of Calculation looked at each of the top beings, and then put forward a suggestion, “Fellow Daoists, since we can’t reach a conclusion, why not decide by a contest of Dao, what do you say?”

He suggested that since what both sides were arguing about was the benefits of numerous cultivators, these cultivators should also be involved. Therefore, he proposed a method from ancient times – a contest of Dao.

Both sides would send cultivators of different realms to battle. The final determination of benefits for both sides would be based on the outcome of the contests.
