Chapter 1522: Chapter 1470 – Chapter 1471 Wind Rising Opportunity Chapter 1522: Chapter 1470 – Chapter 1471 Wind Rising Opportunity Yu Zhenzi's concerns were not unfounded but had a solid basis.
This wasn't entirely impossible, after all, not every immortal sect was as fair as Shenxiao Sect; internal conflicts within these sects might have been the trigger to emulate Shenxiao Sect's actions.
Previously, those True Immortals could use the excuses that all immortal sects were led by True Immortals, and the Supreme Strong didn't qualify.
But this time, Shenxiao Sect had set a precedent, giving other sects' Supreme Strong something to argue about.
In particular, this would enable many initially un-promoted Supreme Strong to exert True Immortal combat power and force True Immortals into compromising in order to seize their interests.
Thus, it was clearly visible that these Supreme Strong would inevitably challenge the status quo, undoubtedly.
For those True Immortals unwilling to relinquish the authority in their hands, a grudge against Shenxiao Sect, the source of the issue, was inevitable.
If it was just one or two sects, it would still be manageable. But if too many True Immortals felt this way, even a powerful and influential Shenxiao Sect could have oversights.
Indeed, precisely because of the size and influence of the Shen Xiao Sect, even with the Longevity Taoist Monarch and several True Immortals, such a vast operation couldn't cover every base and was vulnerable to cunning plots.
After all, there's a saying that one can't be a thief for a thousand days without being caught, and if Shen Xiao Sect truly made enemies on all sides, they would undoubtedly suffer some damage.
This is similar to the saying “People who have nothing are least afraid of losing”; if someone truly wanted to clash head-on, even if you won, you wouldn't come out unscathed but would inevitably suffer losses.
“And what I fear most is that this is just the beginning, and the previously tranquil Divine Land World will be stirred into waves,” Yu Zhenzi stood on the pavilion of the Shenxiao House of Jade Purity, his gaze deep, as though it pierced through the infinite sky to the Mortal Realm below.
At present, the Mortal Realm was thriving; even though there were conflicts and disputes of interest among different forces, these conflicts were still within control.
But after word of this event spread, whether the various forces could maintain stability, and whether those ambitious powers, once ascended, would continue to restrain themselves or would stir up conflict, remained to be seen.
Over the years, Yu Zhenzi had learned much about the situations of all powers within the Divine Land World. Even though the Heavenly Court had been continuously striving for sufficient benefits, the ambitions of all sides had also grown with their increasing power.
No one wanted to remain submissive forever; everyone sought greater benefits to strengthen themselves and clarify their position in the Divine Land World. This wasn't just the thought of the many original forces in the Divine Land World but also included those new forces that had integrated into the Divine Land World.
Just as initially, when many True Immortals in the Divine Land World had just been promoted, they wanted to fight the Monster God to verify their divine power and also to ascertain their own combat power and position among True Immortals, which determined their behavior in the True Immortal Realm.
Similarly, when the Heavenly Court initiated the Expansion Plan, why did they send strong forces to Class B World No.1? Not just because that world was discovered to be the strongest with abundant resources, but also because they wanted to measure the strength of Class B World No.1 to gauge the might of the Divine Land World.
All discovered worlds were numbered and ranked not just for clear classification and easy management by the Heavenly Court, but also as a statistical endeavor to see where the Divine Land World stood in the food chain within the vast Chaos Void.
As it was with many Tao Certifying True Immortals, so it was with the Divine Land World and hence with all its forces.
Ten thousand years of peace and development had seen these forces amass incredible power over such a long period, to the point where they were truly transformed beyond recognition; apart from these forces themselves, no one really knew the extent of their capabilities and strengths.
This was a benefit but also a drawback. It had become difficult for the powers to discern the strengths and weaknesses between their past rivals and enemies.
Ten thousand years was enough to change many things, especially as the Divine Land World was still in such a flourishing epoch. Over those millennia, countless worlds had been discovered, and many fortuitous opportunities had been seized by the strong of the Divine Land World.
Even the forces that were originally mismatched in strength could, over ten thousand years of development, undergo a drastic transformation, catching up to or even surpassing the other side.
Not to mention forces that were originally similar in strength; after a millennia of consolidation, each acquired different Opportunistic Fortune, leaving it unknown who had grown stronger and who had far surpassed their former rivals.
Especially for those forces initially not very powerful, whose power had transformed significantly, they still weren't recognized for their newfound status and couldn't receive the acknowledgment they deserved–a situation they couldn't tolerate.
With every increase in their power, their desire for a higher status in the Divine Land World intensified.
Especially if many forces did not exhibit enough deterrent power, many would entertain the idea of challenging the established order, striving to climb higher and secure their rightful place in the Divine Land World.
