Chapter 1529: Chapter 1476–1477 Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, Are You Seeking Death?_2 Chapter 1529: Chapter 1476–1477 Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, Are You Seeking Death?_2 According to the original division of power among the various forces, the Shenxiao Sect was indeed considered a top immortal sect, but this was more because of the presence of the Longevity Taoist Monarch, Pei Xuanjing, whose remaining prestige was enough to deter all directions.
However, if you remove Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing from the equation, you would find that simply comparing the number of True Immortals and the number of Supreme Strong who rival the combat power of True Immortals, they are actually slightly inferior to other immortal sects.
But now, with so many Supreme Strong, including Supreme Overlord, emerging, some of these Supreme Overlord, although not comparable to True Immortals, still possess the power for a battle, making them recognize the strength of the Shenxiao Sect even more and understand how many fortuitous opportunities the Shenxiao Sect must have seized over these ten thousand years to have cultivated so many powerful beings.
While the transition of the Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect drew the attention of many powerful beings and forces, many things were also happening in the boundless Chaos Void.
In the Myriad Laws Realm, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, who had reached an agreement with Yu Zhenzi, duly arrived in the Myriad Laws Realm, starting to investigate Emperor Jade's layout in the realm by leveraging both the intelligence of the Shenxiao Sect and the information gathered by the powerful beings under his own influence.
Emperor Jade was able to secretly carry out this plan in the Myriad Laws Realm and search for the Great Law Decree Technique without being discovered by other powers, largely because all the powerful beings had already searched this world and believed the Ten Supreme Divine Abilities to be mere rumors after finding nothing.
Later arrivals to the Myriad Laws Realm, even if they came here for cultivation, paid more attention to the various divine powers and techniques to elevate and deduce their own Divine Abilities, preoccupied with the notion that the Ten Supreme Divine Abilities did not exist, so they would not pay attention to them.
But since Yu Zhenzi and his compatriots had confirmed the matter, their focus upon arriving in this world was definitely on this issue.
As one of the top forces in the boundless Chaos Void, it did not matter whether the Shenxiao Sect paid attention or not, but once they began to seriously monitor something, then it was destined that nothing related to this matter could escape their sight.
After the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder descended into this world, with the preparatory work already done by the Shenxiao Sect, added to his status as a True Immortal who personally investigated, even the secret defenses prepared by the others before were all exposed before the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder.
After all, for the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, he himself was a being almost at the level of a Taoist Monarch as a half-step into the True Immortal Sixth Heavenly Layer, perhaps only surpassed by Emperor Jade among Emperor Jade's forces.
Therefore, unless Emperor Jade personally orchestrated the planning, everything could not difficult the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, who was intent on targeting this matter.
However, within a mere decade or so of entering the Myriad Laws Realm, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder had almost completely mastered many of Emperor Jade's plans, and had a grasp of the ultimate whereabouts of the Great Law Decree Technique.
But even though he had a clear understanding of everything, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was in no hurry to act, instead silently waiting and allowing those under Emperor Jade's command to continue advancing their plans.
The Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was clear about one thing: Emperor Jade took this matter very seriously and could be said to be determined to win the Great Law Decree Technique.
If he had simply thwarted this plan and stopped Emperor Jade's actions this time, it would have only solved a temporary problem and would not have put an end to it at all, for Emperor Jade would simply lie low for a while, waiting until his power was sufficient and the opportunity ripe to make his move again.
After all, Emperor Jade had been willing to endure restrictions on his power during these ten thousand years, so this was nothing more than one of the many setbacks he had experienced, which was quite ordinary, and he was fully capable of accepting such a failure.
One could say that the continuous attempts and failures over ten thousand years also brought Emperor Jade tremendous gains, providing him with enough tempering to calmly accept all failures.
Yu Zhenzi was also aware of this, so when he instructed the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder to act, he made it clear that their goal was not merely to foil this plot by Emperor Jade, but to completely shatter the opportunity, ensuring that Emperor Jade would give up on the idea of capturing the Great Law Decree Technique.
So, what they needed to do was not to prevent, but to wait for the moment when Emperor Jade's plot was about to succeed and intervene, seizing the result of Emperor Jade's planning, taking the Great Law Decree Technique into their hands, or, as a last resort, to annihilate this Divine Ability, making sure it never falls into the hands of Emperor Jade.
In the boundless Chaos Void, there were no concepts of space and time. The flow of time in the Divine Land World and the Myriad Laws Realm was starkly different.
Only a few years had seemingly passed in the Divine Land World with the news of the succession of the Shen Xiao Sect Leader. However, in the Myriad Laws Realm, decades had already gone by, nearly a century.
If one were to calculate using the time of the Myriad Laws Realm, for the sake of the Ten Supreme Divine Abilities' Great Law Decree Technique, he had planned for over a thousand years, and even in the Divine Land World, it was over a hundred years.
Now, the fruit of his painstaking cultivation was finally ripe, and the Jade Emperor himself had personally descended a powerful incarnation to harvest it.
It was not that he did not wish to come as a True Immortal, but his current position had already drawn attention from all quarters. Even though at this moment, many powerhouses in the Divine Land World were preoccupied with the succession of the Shen Xiao Sect Leader, they did not lessen their vigilance against him.
In fact, in this instance, the Jade Emperor considered himself extremely fortunate. Although he did not know why Pang Hong suddenly decided to forsake the Sect Leader position, the latter's choice undoubtedly attracted much attention, significantly reducing the scrutiny on himself.
Otherwise, if it had been any ordinary time, it would have been difficult for him to project such a strong incarnation without arousing the notice of many powerful beings.
Of course, what the Jade Emperor did not know was that this was only the beginning. The Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder had already been waiting in the Myriad Laws Realm for a long time.
“Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, you seek death by opposing me!” bellowed the Jade Emperor, his face icy with fury.
In the eyes of many newly risen gods of the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor, known as the Lord of Heaven and Earth and the foremost of the Six Imperials, was not an austere Imperial Honor. Usually, he presented a genial demeanor, treating every god with utmost kindness, never having a moment of anger.
But at this moment in the Myriad Laws Realm, the Jade Emperor shed the smile he had maintained for ten thousand years, replaced by a face full of rage, uncontrollably incensed.
Even though only an incarnation had descended at this moment, with the Jade Emperor's cultivation of several paths and having stepped into the True Immortal Seventh Heavenly Layer as a Taoist Monarch, the strength this incarnation could wield would make even a True Immortal of the Sixth Heavenly Layer give way.
A fearsome aura emanated from the Jade Emperor's being, astonishing all the cultivators around, who felt as if the world itself might be destroyed.
However, the Jade Emperor was not concerned with the reactions of these people. Instead, his gaze was fixed intently on a middle-aged man not far away, brimming with murderous intent.
That middle-aged man was none other than the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, who had already descended into this world, lying in wait for the Jade Emperor's scheming.
“Why so angry, Jade Emperor?” said the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder with a smile, completely unaffected by the Jade Emperor's fury. Even as the terrifying aura from the Jade Emperor pressed towards him, he showed no fear.
Although his strength was only at the True Immortal Seventh Layer, a step below the Jade Emperor's realm.
But realm is just realm, and combat power is combat power. There is a connection between the two, yet they are not absolute.
