Chapter 1361: Chapters 1308-1309 – Slaughter Begins, Induction Starts_2 Chapter 1361: Chapters 1308-1309 – Slaughter Begins, Induction Starts_2 Moreover, this time the battle for dominance was more intense than ever before, because of the emergence of Taoist skills.
If previously, martial artists relied solely on pure strength, according to realm, Divine Weapons, martial techniques, and some special secret skills, if the strength disparity between the two sides was large, then the weaker party had no qualification to resist and was powerless to contest the stronger opponent.
But as Taoist skills were promoted, especially with many Taoist skills spreading from the Taoist Academy in recent years, those with immense destructive power that even cultivators of low strength could activate appeared, completely erasing the vast disparities.
The most humble ants could possess the power to slay gods!
This was a statement made by a Taoist skills instructor while discussing Taoist skills at the Taoist Academy.
Initially, many martial artists might have thought this statement was exaggerated and merely bluster.
But when those mysterious divine skills exhibited unimaginable power in the hands of the Taoist Academy instructors, they truly made countless martial artists go mad, rushing toward them like moths to a flame.
The spread of these divine skills undoubtedly served as a catalyst that intensified the slaughter, as their existence compensated for some martial artists' deficiencies in combat skills, granting them the qualifications to challenge stronger opponents.
Therefore, when the Great White Plane and others threw out these lures, they immediately incited fierce combat among martial artists.
And this was just the beginning.
As time progressed, as long as no external forces intervened, inevitably more martial artists would become involved.
And due to the manipulation by the likes of the Great White Plane behind the scenes, these conflicts wouldn't end simply because these items fell into someone's hands, let alone whether those behind the scenes, like the Great White Plane, would let these items be taken by one party.
Even if these items were seized by one side, they could still very well follow the same strategy, throw out some new items, and repeat the previous actions to provoke more conflicts.
Now was just a testing phase; the items they put out were only worth the attention of Independent Practitioners, not enough to tempt those in power.
But as more and more valuable things were offered, those forces that were originally immovable were bound to get involved.
The struggle between powers was absolutely different from conflicts among average martial artists. They might compromise at the beginning, but when the interests were big enough and the contradictions deep enough, both sides' grudges could not be resolved, becoming even more intense.
And these forces were all intertwined with each other, having their own allies and enemy forces. As the conflicts deepened, more people and powers would inevitably be drawn in.
By that time, even if there were truly clever people among them who guessed a so-called manipulator behind all this was stirring up trouble, under the circumstances that could not be reversed, they were absolutely unable to resolve the contradictions and could only choose to follow one path to the end.
“The bait has been laid; now just waiting for the fish to bite,” the Great White Plane, upon hearing the messages from his subordinates, couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, proudly laughing.
Star Lord Due sneered, shaking his head and scoffing, “They are just small fries, not counting for much. The real big fish still require the Emperor Monarch to personally take action; we cannot handle them yet.”
Though ruthless and fearless, even in the face of True Immortals, it didn't mean that Star Lord Due couldn't distinguish what matters were of priority and knew which situations he could handle and which he could not.
After all, both of them had not yet stepped onto the Immortal Path, and the schemes they were currently planning needed to be kept under control, not allowed to get out of hand, lest they attract the attention of those in the Emperor Realm, possibly posing a great threat.
With their strength, even if one or two Great Ancient Emperors took action, they could still retreat safely, but if they drew the attention of more Great Ancient Emperors, then the two of them could no longer cope.
Moreover, it wasn't just about their safety but also concerned the following plans. The Emperor's command could start, but it also couldn't become common knowledge lest it affect the plans and inevitably lead to scrutiny by the Emperor.
“As per the Emperor Monarch's command, the Guiding Altar should have been completed by now, and the summoning of the True Immortals and those with Imperial Honors should have begun, right?” Great White Star Lord's smile faded as he gazed deeply toward the direction of Myriad Laws Mountain.
Below Myriad Laws Mountain, a massive altar rose from the ground, with Wood Virtue Star Lord and Fate Controller Star Lord standing atop it.
Not far from the altar, Pei Xuanjing sat on a high platform, surrounded by Star Lord Yi Suan and other Star Lords, as well as some Martial Artists from heavenly gate whom they trusted as their confidants.
Heavenly gate had been established for several years now, and during this time they had each recruited enough subordinates, among which they selected a group of extremely reliable Martial Artists.
For these tested Martial Artists, they had disclosed the existence of the Heavenly Court and the world of Divine Land. Today, those standing here were the ones who had accepted their vision and were resolved to join the existence of Heavenly Court.
Since they had decided to join Heavenly Court, they were given the corresponding trust, involving them in these matters. Even if some of them might harbor ill intentions or were not yet fully steadfast, they would not reject the majority because of a minority.
“Activate the formation and summon Them to descend!” Pei Xuanjing commanded.
“We shall comply with the Emperor Monarch's command!” Fate Controller Star Lord and Wood Virtue Star Lord saluted with their fists and then jointly activated the altar, causing countless pillars of light to burst forth, shooting up to the heavens and triggering a dramatic change in the heavenly phenomena.
These pillars of light pierced through the world's membrane, plunging into the vast Chaos Void. Even the infinite Chaos Qi could not extinguish them, instead forming a unique talisman within the Chaos Void.
The so-called Guiding Altar was not about building a direct path in the Chaos Void to the Great Ming World, for that was simply not possible.
Even now, Pei Xuanjing's realm had reached an unimaginably profound level, yet was still incapable of accomplishing this feat.
Thus, their so-called summoning was more akin to lighting up this part of the world, revealing their coordinates within the boundless Chaos Void, much like lighting a lighthouse within a fog-engulfed sea.
The moment their Guiding Altar was activated, the Guiding Altar in the Great Ming World would also activate, forming another talisman. These two talismans resonated; the other True Immortals and those with Imperial Honors could use them to locate this world and send their incarnations here.
“What exactly is happening?”
“Columns of light shooting into the sky, as if reaching beyond the heavens…”
“It seems to be coming from the direction of heavenly gate?”
“What does the heavenly gate want to do!”
The activation of the Guiding Altar caused a severe disturbance, the columns of light piercing the sky, and even Pei Xuanjing could not hide it, thus immediately capturing the attention of numerous powerful beings. When they realized that all this originated from the location of heavenly gate, the expressions of these Great Ancient Emperors drastically changed.
Immediately, many Great Ancient Emperors, who were relatively close to the heavenly gate, wanted to approach it.
For these Great Ancient Emperors, there was nothing in this world that could be hidden from them. Now that the actions of the heavenly gate had clearly gone beyond their control and posed a risk of spiraling out of control, their first reaction was to find out exactly what was happening.
“Emperor Monarch, do we need to intercept them?” Fire Virtue Star Lord, who had also noticed the approach of these Great Ancient Emperors, asked Pei Xuanjing.
“Go! Do not let them get near heavenly gate. It's a critical moment for the summoning, and we cannot afford disturbances!” Pei Xuanjing nodded.
The summoning had already started, and by this time, it was estimated that those True Immortals and those with Imperial Honors had already descended and were heading this way. If the Guiding Altar failed at this moment, it would be like those at sea losing their direction, completely lost in the Chaos Void.
