Chapter 1343: Chapter 1290-Chapter 1291_2 Chapter 1343: Chapter 1290-Chapter 1291_2 “Cultivator, once you know there's a greater path ahead, how could you possibly contain your impatience?” the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder said, shaking his head slightly.
Indeed, he had initially planned to observe quietly from the sidelines. At that time, he was more focused on researching the Taoist Skill and was not in a hurry.
But the more he studied these Taoist Skills, the deeper his understanding and recognition of these principles became, and the more engrossed he became, for he truly saw a path through the Great Tao.
Although this world did not have the saying, “He who hears the Tao in the morning may die content in the evening!” for the current Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, the emergence of these Taoist Skills was undoubtedly the path he had been searching for all these years. Finally, he saw a glimmer of light in the boundless darkness. How could he possibly restrain himself?
Even if this act might make him a target for criticism and sidelong glances, he had already made up his mind, unwavering in his decision.
No matter how his disciples tried to persuade him, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder quietly left the Holy Land of Wind and Thunder and set out for the heavenly gate.
“Emperor Monarch, do you think anyone will come forth on their own initiative?” Fire Virtue Star Lord curiously asked Pei Xuanjing.
Together, they were using the Fire Spirit Bead to craft a Divine Artifact for Fire Virtue Star Lord. This artifact was already more than halfway complete; what remained was constant refinement, awaiting the time when the world's authority would converge to complete the work.
After the two came out of seclusion, and upon hearing all of the recent activities described by the other Star Lords, and teaching within the Taoist Academy, as well as the successful dissemination of the Taoist Skill, Pei Xuanjing was certain that their plan was largely successful.
However, what came next was a critical turning point: they had now cast a large bait in the form of the Taoist Skill, waiting for the Great Ancient Emperors to study it and realize that it was incomplete, with the true core still undisclosed.
If these Great Ancient Emperors were willing to cooperate with them, or had their own ideas, they would certainly come knocking on their own. Regardless of whether an agreement was reached in the end, it was undeniable that this would mark a beginning, the start of a new era.
“No matter what plans or actions we take, we must not only determine our goals but also, and more importantly, determine: who are our friends and who are our enemies,” Pei Xuanjing said to the many Star Lords.
Who are friends, and who are enemies? Which enemies can be won over, and which need to be suppressed?
For Pei Xuanjing, this statement had always been a benchmark, serving as an ironclad rule in his actions.
Just as in the Great Ming World's rise, when Pei Xuanjing sought to achieve his own goals and implement his plans, he knew that many True Immortals of the human race could be won over–these people were his friends.
Conversely, the Demon Race was his enemy, and those strong beings within the Demon Race who could not be won over needed to be thoroughly suppressed by him.
This firm belief was the reason Pei Xuanjing was determined to push forward the Sealing God Tribulation. After all, if the Demon Race could have compromised, and been won over back then, he would not have hesitated to cooperate.
Now, in this world, Pei Xuanjing once again faced the same situation. Having set his plan in motion and cast his lure, the reaction of these Great Ancient Emperors would reflect their attitude, dictating how Pei Xuanjing would treat them.
Do not mistake Pei Xuanjing's lack of action and the conciliatory nature of his promoted plan; if the Great Ancient Emperors of this world truly prove obstinate and stubborn to the end, he would show no mercy.
“With the wisdom of these Great Ancient Emperors, they will surely discover the key to cultivating the Taoist Skill–besides the Path of Laws, there is another way,” said the Fire Virtue Star Lord with a smile.
“As for this other path, it depends on their choice–whether they decide to come to us to find the answer or to seek the answer on their own.”
“No matter how they do it, it doesn't really matter. What's important is whether they will truly discover the authority, and after discovering it, whether they'll decisively choose to touch the authority.”
The Star Lords each expressed their attitudes, but regardless of their stances, one thing was destined: they absolutely would not allow those Great Ancient Emperors to touch the authority.
“Someone is coming. It's just unknown whether this person wants to do something wise or foolish,” Wood Virtue Star Lord said with a hint of a smile on his face.
Just moments ago, he had received news from someone in the Holy Land of Wind and Thunder that the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder wanted to meet the Master of their heavenly gate.
“The Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder? This is a Great Emperor who has lived for a very long time, rumored to be among the top echelons of this world, immeasurably stronger than Emperor Tianyang from before,” Fire Virtue Star Lord's face revealed a trace of eagerness to try his hand.
His battle with Emperor Tianyang, although not lost, was not won either, and it was an unsatisfactory outcome for him.
Now, although a stronger Great Emperor, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, was present, he himself had not idled away these years. Especially during the refining of the Fire Spirit Bead, with the guidance from the Emperor Monarch, his strength had increased again, so he was also very eager to meet this Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder.
“Heh, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, master of the Laws of Wind and Thunder, if that's the case, let this Emperor have a meeting with him!” Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, Pei Xuanjing, who had been silently seated at the main seat, suddenly spoke up.
After his words were spoken, although the rest of the many Star Lords appeared surprised, no one opposed.
“Everything as the Emperor Monarch wishes. Then please invite the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder over,” Fire Virtue Star Lord's eyes flashed with regret, but he didn't say anything and signaled to Wood Virtue Star Lord.
Pei Xuanjing's authority, of course, went without saying. Every individual reverently complied, and none would defy his will. Even if they had other ideas originally, since the Emperor Monarch had spoken, they wouldn't defy him.
Moreover, they were also aware that since the first Emperor Realm powerhouse had come to the heavenly gate, the attitude of the other party was actually very important. If they could make the other party submit, that would be even more critical for the events that followed.
Wood Virtue Star Lord left to escort the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder.
The Myriad Laws Building, even as a force that was once the second tier in this world, had produced a Great Emperor, and its ancestors were grand, so the stronghold of the Myriad Laws Building was vast.
Pei Xuanjing did not meet the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder in a great hall within the heavenly gate, but instead went to a mountain that was originally under the domain of the Myriad Laws Building.
“Myriad Laws Mountain, I vaguely remember that after the Great Myriad Laws Emperor established the Myriad Laws Building, he named this obscure mountain range Myriad Laws Mountain and left the legacy of Myriad Laws Building on this mountain. Alas, the descendants were incompetent; not one has ever ascended to the Emperor Realm again,” the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder descended upon Myriad Laws Mountain and mused to himself, his gaze revealing a hint of reminiscence.
As a Great Emperor who had lived for an unknown amount of time, he had witnessed the rise and fall of many Great Ancient Emperors, seen comings and goings, and yet he still stood tall in the world.
“If the Great Myriad Laws Emperor had existed eternally like the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, why would he have placed his hopes on his descendants? Without the protection of an Emperor, how difficult it is for any Martial Artist to rise,” Pei Xuanjing commented pensively.
Competition in this part of the world is exceedingly tough, especially considering the conflicts and power struggles between the newly ascended Great Emperors and the old Great Ancient Emperors. It means that any Supreme King aiming for Tao Certifying would necessarily face unimaginable repression.
And after coming to the Myriad Laws Building, he had learned more, seen the Martial Arts of the Great Myriad Laws Emperor, and realized that the fall of this Great Myriad Laws Emperor was not accidental, but inevitable.
The once domineering Great Myriad Laws Emperor, famous for Myriad Laws, ultimately met his demise because of Myriad Laws!
