Chapter 1466: Chapters 1414-1415: Who is Truly of the Demonic Way Chapter 1466: Chapters 1414-1415: Who is Truly of the Demonic Way “Some times, I really can't tell whether I, the old ancestor, am of the Demonic Way, or you are,” the Blood Fiend Ancestor said sarcastically after hearing the Profound Heaven True Monarch's words.
You should know that those from the Demonic Way are notorious for being bloody, cold, and cruel. If I had said what was just spoken, it wouldn't have been out of character.
But the one who spoke those words is none other than the leading figure of the Righteous Path, one of the leaders, Profound Heaven True Monarch. Even now, with Immortal Lord Longevity rising and the Shenxiao Sect unparalleled in prestige, the millenniold heritage of the Xuantian Sect stands unshaken as one of the pinnacle immortal sects of the Righteous Path.
For such a supreme sect's wielder, respected as a True Immortal between heaven and earth, to show such a ruthless side is indeed surprising.
However, what others find surprising is but normalcy for Blood Fiend Ancestor. Their so-called Righteous Path only seems gentle; in reality, their competition is in no way weaker than the Demonic Way–perhaps even stronger.
In the Demonic Way, all competition is out in the open: no matter what the struggle for power, the myriad of secret schemes, the various malicious plots, the planning by whatever means–all are brandished openly.
But the Righteous Path is different. Often their selection of the younger disciples is continuous and occurs in ways unseen.
And these selections of the Righteous Path are even more brutal. Their plan simply lies there: they may grant you opportunity, but if you can't bear it, it equates to death.
“Heh, Fortuitous Opportunities are but 'fate'!” Profound Heaven True Monarch is completely unmoved by the Blood Fiend Ancestor's sarcastic tone.
They, being peers of equal strength, have been old adversaries, battling it out for countless years; they know each other's foundations and dispositions too well, so they pay no mind, for what the other speaks is but the truth.
Now, the opportunity has been given to these Star Lords. How far they can go depends on their fortuity, and perhaps, when push comes to shove, one of us True Immortals will be unable to restrain from intervening to save them.
After all, even for the Divine Land World, these Supreme Overlords represent no small force. Furthermore, each of them is qualified to step onto the Immortal Path. Allowing their incarnations to meet their demise here would delay their ascension to True Immortal status, and could even impact their potential for it.
Perhaps missing out on becoming the most prominent True Immortals is regrettable, but even the most ordinary True Immortals would still significantly bolster the strength of the Divine Land World.
Therefore, at the end, when it is declared that these Star Lords have failed in their plans and there's no longer any possibility of success, there will surely be a True Immortal who steps in to save the lives of their incarnations.
Yet, this also signifies one thing: that they will lose the opportunity to gain Fortuitous Opportunities this time. Whatever Fortuitous Opportunities arise from the suppression of the Ancient Sun Emperor, they will be seized by the intervening True Immortals.
So even on this point alone, let alone for other things such as the value of a Star Lord, the future of the Divine Land World, the value of the Ancient Sun Emperor alone is enough to tempt many a True Immortal.
After all, it is not as if there were no True Immortals already moved by the value represented by the Ancient Sun Emperor; even the Yin-Yang Laws are of great significance to True Immortals.
But it's only because of the pressure from the Emperor of Longevity that these Star Lords were given this chance. Although it was given to them, if they fail to seize it, they have no one else to blame–not even the Emperor of Longevity would say much.
Of course, such an outcome would be the worst-case scenario for Fate Controller Star Lord and his ilk. If they truly lose this opportunity, they would just miss the chance for real ascension.
“Let's wait and see if they can seize this opportunity. If they can't, no one has anything to say,” said Profound Heaven True Monarch with an indifferent expression, not caring who captures the Fortuitous Opportunities.
But while he did not care, Blood Fiend Ancestor, with a hint of indignation, said, “If they can't seize the opportunity, rather than letting it go to others, I, the old ancestor, would not mind claiming it.”
These Fortuitous Opportunities are attractive to Blood Fiend Ancestor, too. Earlier, out of respect for the Emperor of Longevity, he had graciously stepped aside, but if these Star Lords can't hold onto the opportunity, he'd rather swallow it himself than leave it for his despised old rivals.
Among the many True Immortals that have descended to this world and remained here, the only ones Blood Fiend Ancestor needs to be wary of, aside from the Emperor of Longevity, are Profound Heaven True Monarch and the Sword Sect's Sword Emperor.
And the Sword Emperor himself disdains competing with juniors for Fortuitous Opportunities. As long as Profound Heaven True Monarch doesn't interfere, then none has the right to contest with him.
“Suit yourself,” Profound Heaven True Monarch said, his lips curling into an enigmatic smile, showing no intent to block Blood Fiend Ancestor.
“Hm?” Blood Fiend Ancestor glanced suspiciously at Profound Heaven True Monarch, his earlier confidence waning.
They were both foxes of millennia, each fully aware of the other's cunning.
He had been locked in struggle with Profound Heaven True Monarch for thousands of years; how could he not understand what kind of person the other was? If he wanted to interfere in this Fortuitous Opportunity, normalcy would dictate that the other would stop him. The two had often engaged in deeds detrimental to each other but not beneficial to themselves. It was normal for them to oppose whatever the other wished to do.
