Chapter 1504: Chapter 1452 – Chapter 1453 Chapter 1504: Chapter 1452 – Chapter 1453 This time, Lu Bing's answer that the people of the three Imperial Palaces were all focused on pioneering was considered normal, not surprising at all. Even if they were to redirect their energies back, that would have been an unusual move.
After all, the struggle for authority among them was never a matter of overnight. Their conflicts could alternate in advantage, one suppressing the other, but achieving a true victory was not so simple.
For those many Taoist Monarchs hidden behind the Heavenly Court, they did not wish for the Jade Emperor, this Heavenly Court Emperor, to govern heaven and earth, command all heavens, and hold all authority, threatening their existence. That's why they supported the rise of the other Imperial Honors, to divide and seize the authority of the Jade Emperor.
Similarly, for these True Immortals, they also would not wish to see the Imperial Honors they supported usurp the authority of the Jade Emperor, or even replace him and become a threat to their existence.
The many True Immortal Taoist Monarchs needed balance, to have the Heavenly Court serve them, to bring benefits to themselves, and not to shape an invincible entity that could turn around and restrain them, even commanding and threatening their interests as a powerful group.
Realizing this, the Jade Emperor, even though he faced an alliance of three Imperial Honors, while it was somewhat awkward, was not unable to cope with the situation.
After all, if the situation for the Jade Emperor had indeed deteriorated beyond redemption, he could completely choose the final option to destroy the cauldron and sink the boat, simply relinquishing his authority, using it to empower one of the Imperial Honors to replace him, even a more powerful entity.
As long as one sat in that position of the Emperor of Heaven, their intrinsic interests would inevitably conflict with those of the many True Immortal Taoist Monarchs.
And the ultimate act of destroying the cauldron and sinking the boat to shape a stronger Heavenly Emperor would certainly incite a threat to the True Immortal Taoist Monarchs, causing a large-scale battle.
This would absolutely not change because of the origins of these Imperial Honors, unless they were content to be puppets. But since they could reach the status of Imperial Honors, how could they be content to be puppets? Thus, conflict was inevitable.
For Zhu Houji, who had lost everything, both sides were his enemies. It didn't matter who lost or who won at that time; to him, it meant forcing the other to pay a price.
Realizing this, many Imperial Honors became somewhat wary, because they understood that unless they could overpower all the Taoist Monarchs, they ultimately could not seize all authority.
Therefore, these Imperial Honors also became somewhat disinterested. Although they were still eroding the authority of the Jade Emperor, they no longer saw this as the main issue and started to expend more energy on exploring new worlds and strengthening themselves.
Regarding this, although these Imperial Honors had shifted their focus, the Jade Emperor could not afford to give up. After all, for him, his path lay within the Heavenly Court.
Though he could gain some fortuitous opportunities from those newly opened worlds to supplement himself, this really could not compare at all to reclaiming the authority of the Heavenly Court.
Thus, the Jade Emperor remained focused on the movements of the various Imperial Honors, continuously strategizing to seize back more authority for himself.
But these Imperial Honors were not simple individuals either; each could not reach their present state without knowing the importance of the authority they held. They were also surely on guard, not giving the Jade Emperor any opportunities.
Hearing from Lu Bing that there was no movement from the Imperial Palaces, the Jade Emperor remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with this response.
However, at this moment, Lu Bing, after pondering for a moment, continued to speak, “There has been no movement from these Emperor Monarchs, but the Southern Pole Imperial Palace has been quite active recently.”
As he said this, Lu Bing also hesitated a bit, debating whether to reveal this information.
The Southern Pole Imperial Palace referred to only one entity in this world, that being the Divine Tao incarnation of Pei Xuanjing, the Longevity Taoist Monarch, and the Great Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life based in that Imperial Palace.
Of course, the control of the Southern Pole Imperial Palace was currently in the hands of the True God of the Thunder Department, Thunder Venerate Pang Hong, and not actually held by the Emperor of Longevity himself.
If it had indeed been any of the Emperor of Longevity, for Lu Bing, he would not have dared to even consider monitoring the other.
Even now, the only ones he monitored were the ordinary Cultivators under the jurisdiction of the Southern Pole Imperial Palace; he did not dare to spy on the Thunder Department Heavenly Venerate who was also a True Immortal.
Sometimes, however, there was no need to watch a True Immortal, for even as untouchable as True Immortals were, they could not always personally handle everything; these tasks had to be delegated to others.
And from the reports of his subordinates, he discovered that during this period, the Southern Pole Imperial Palace, and even some of the strong ones belonging to the Shenxiao Lineage, were all busy preparing something.
Considering the current rapid development of the Divine Land World, those strong ones affiliated with the Shenxiao Sect and the Southern Pole Imperial Palace, each holding a respectable status within them, were naturally also able to rise with the momentum, ascending swiftly and gaining many fortuitous opportunities. It was normal, according to common sense, for them to be busy.
