Chapter 1549: Chapters 1496-1497 Announcing the Decree – The True Immortal is Reluctant_2 Chapter 1549: Chapters 1496-1497 Announcing the Decree – The True Immortal is Reluctant_2 If before, ninety percent of people believed the news they had received, there was still a portion who harbored doubts, suspecting there might be some conspiracy, some issue at play.
However, when the decree of Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing was issued, it undeniably served as a guarantee, signifying that the currently circulating news had no problems, that it was indeed credible.
This allowed many powerful beings to finally let go of their distractions, to focus on their preparations, to journey to the Myriad Laws Realm in search of Opportunistic Fortune.
Particularly, the rules set by Longevity Taoist Monarch that turned the Myriad Laws Realm into a trial ground, prohibiting True Immortals and those of higher levels from entering, brought joyful expressions to the faces of many Supreme Strong, allowing them to participate without any burden.
“Why would the Taoist Monarch do this? If a trial is opened, why prohibit us True Immortals from entering?” asked one powerful being, his face filled with confusion.
“Indeed, this Supreme Divine Power is something we too greatly lack. Why exclude us?”
“In this world, all the good fortunes seem to fall into the hands of True Immortals, while we cultivators can only follow behind and sip the leftovers. If not for the decree of the Taoist Monarch this time, I'm afraid we would have nothing to do with it again,” said a Supreme Strong with a pleased expression, whispering.
Even though the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan had continued for ten thousand years, bringing unbelievable benefits to all beings of the Divine Land World, the distribution of these benefits, in the end, was delineated by strength.
Even with Longevity Taoist Monarch overseeing and ensuring that the initial distribution rules were not violated, the benefits that could be shared were still foundational, sufficient for maintaining cultivation. To truly undergo a qualitative transformation required one's own Opportunistic Fortune.
However, even opportunities like these required a certain level of strength, and these Supreme Strong were innately a step behind True Immortals when it came to seizing fortune and benefits.
Just as with the emergence of Supreme Divine Power within the Myriad Laws Realm this time, if such a thing truly existed, the True Immortals would undoubtedly be the main force. Even if these Supreme Strong participated, they might ultimately end up empty-handed.
This time, regardless of why the Taoist Monarch's trial ground excluded True Immortals and higher beings, it was undoubtedly a rare opportunity for them. Perhaps some would truly seize the chance to leap over the dragon gate and soar to the heavens.
Watching the smiles on the faces of these Supreme Strong, many of the beings above True Immortals showed a hint of anger, yet they were helpless.
This was the rule established by Longevity Taoist Monarch. Not to mention that they were merely ordinary True Immortals, even Taoist Monarchs would not provoke a conflict with Longevity Taoist Monarch over such a matter, as it was not worth it.
The number one person in the Divine Land World, and very possibly the foremost among countless cultivators in the known worlds of the Chaos Void, held an unimaginable deterrence, enough to make many feel wary.
These True Immortals knew that since the rule was set by Longevity Taoist Monarch, unless they truly went mad, they could only watch this Supreme Divine Power slip through their fingers.
This absolutely could not happen!
This was the first thought that arose in the minds of many True Immortals.
Supreme Divine Power, comparable to the greatest Divine Powers, was undoubtedly the best choice for these True Immortals, whether for their own cultivation or to trade for corresponding cultivation resources.
If they truly missed this chance, there was no knowing when they would encounter a second one.
“But, the rule set by the Taoist Monarch forbids True Immortals from entering the trial, are we to go against it?” asked a True Immortal solemnly, his face full of wary concern.
To ordinary cultivators, these True Immortals might be supreme beings, exalted and untouchable.
But as they drew closer to the mountain, they became increasingly aware of its majesty. These True Immortals were more formidable than average cultivators, yet they were also more acutely aware of the Longevity Taoist Monarch's towering presence, elusiveness.
Only by truly experiencing the Taoist Monarch's might could one understand that the other was an unbeatable existence and dare not violate the rules set by him.
“If you intend to violate the Taoist Monarch's rules, then pardon me for not accompanying you. Even if this Supreme Divine Power is invaluable, it isn't as precious as one's own life,” a strong cultivator said directly to several True Immortals beside him.
These few True Immortals had gathered to discuss what should be done about the matter. As they heard their companions' increasingly absurd suggestions, one of the True Immortals could no longer bear it, unwilling to waste any more time dallying here.
Indeed, the Supreme Divine Power was incredibly valuable, a rarity in the vast Chaos Void that many True Immortals might never encounter in their lifetimes, making them hesitant to give it up lightly.
Yet as precious as the Supreme Divine Power was, their own lives were also precious, and compared to their lives, that power truly wasn't worth mentioning.
They were True Immortals, not ordinary Supreme Strong ones constrained by lifespan, who could recklessly pursue strength at all costs because death loomed over them.
They possessed extensive time — as long as they didn't act recklessly, offending such fearsome strong ones, they could live safely and without worry, waiting for more opportunities.
Undoubtedly, to violate the rules set by the Longevity Taoist Monarch was an act of seeking death, and the Taoist Monarch was unquestionably capable of subduing True Immortals. No one could survive the wrath of such an entity, should it decide to act; not even the so-called Immortal and Indestructible True Immortals!
In the hearts of many True Immortals, they thought that although the other True Immortal Taoist Monarchs in the world seemed mighty, that was merely because no one had enraged the Longevity Taoist Monarch or given a reason for such a being to suppress a Taoist Monarch-level strong one.
Therefore, while opportunistic fortune is important, one's own life is even more so; to offend and provoke the Longevity Taoist Monarch for any chance was suicide!
He was an Independent Practitioner, and those few True Immortals were either Independent Practitioners, from Small Sects or minor forces, or beings from weaker worlds who had integrated into the Divine Land World.
In any case, these few True Immortals had one thing in common: they lacked significant backgrounds or support and, having reached this point, had no one to rely on — every step had to be taken relying on themselves alone.
Thus, they joined together to strive for more benefits, to avoid and reduce risks, forming an alliance tinged with a measure of camaraderie.
Such alliances were not uncommon in the Divinel Land World today. After all, with the continual expansion of the Divine Land World and the strengthening of various forces, in effect, the living space for Independent Practitioners and small forces was being reduced, an inevitable occurrence.
Moreover, it was one matter to discover an average world, but larger worlds were not something a single True Immortal could conquer alone. They had to unite to develop a world and maximize their interests.
Of course, such alliances were neither solid nor unbreakable; everything was built on the premise of maintaining one's own interests.
“Nonsense, we definitely wouldn't dare to do something suicidal!” another True Immortal Taoist Monarch scoffed, snorting disdainfully.
He was blunt as well, believing it to be a suicidal act and expressing not a lack of desire but a lack of dare.
However, when he spoke these words and acknowledged his timidity, none of the other True Immortals laughed at him, but instead felt that it was nothing more than expected.
“So, what are your thoughts? Stop dilly-dallying,” the True Immortal who had spoken first said.
He knew that the others must have had some ideas.
