Chapter 1553: Chapter 1500-1501 That is Mine! Should I Thank Him?_2 Chapter 1553: Chapter 1500-1501 That is Mine! Should I Thank Him?_2 Such mighty beings were such that even the seasoned True Immortal Taoist Monarchs dared not claim they could catch up, let alone surpass them. How could the Jade Emperor, who was still far behind, even contemplate it?
Yu Zhenzi might believe that the other could rival other True Immortal Taoist Monarchs when reclaiming all his authority, but he absolutely did not believe that the other could surpass the Longevity Taoist Monarch, so Pang Hong needn't worry so much.
Even to say something unpleasant, others might need to worry, but their Shenxiao Sect did not. Even knowing it was a slap in the face followed by consolation, the consolation they gave was already enough to save face for the other party.
This was the face given to him by the Shenxiao Lineage; no matter what he thought inside, he now had to humbly accept it. Otherwise, it was a disgrace to the Shenxiao Lineage, and he would really not be able to keep his position as the Emperor of Heaven.
Indeed, the position of the Emperor of Heaven was extremely crucial, symbolizing a compromise from all sides, maintaining peace in the Heavenly Court and even the entire Divine Land World, not to be easily shaken.
But when the Jade Emperor originally ascended to that position, he had the support of a Taoist Monarch; otherwise, he could not have held it securely. Now, even if he was a True Immortal Taoist Monarch with enough strength to hold it steadfastly, if he truly angered the Taoist Monarch, with the prestige and power of the Taoist Monarch, it wasn't impossible to shake his position.
Nothing was unchangeable; it just depended on the price one was willing to pay and whether that price was acceptable.
For Pang Hong and the others, trying to shake the position of the Jade Emperor required an extremely great price, but if a Taoist Monarch wanted to change it, it wouldn't cost as much.
“So go ahead with confidence, this time the Jade Emperor won't, and doesn't dare to have any complaints,” Yu Zhenzi declared.
Hearing this, Pang Hong nodded and said to Yu Zhenzi, “Then everything here is left to you, Uncle Master.”
Yu Zhenzi nodded and replied, “Everything here is left to me, don't worry!”
Pang Hong turned and left, returning to the Heavenly world and sent his subordinates to present a respect card to the Jade Emperor.
With Pang Hong's status and power, he really didn't need to do this to seek an audience with the Jade Emperor, nor would anyone comment on it, but this time he represented not just himself, but the Shenxiao Sect and his master, thus naturally he had to display sufficient etiquette.
Regardless of what the Jade Emperor thought when he received the respect card, he still agreed to meet Pang Hong in three days.
That meeting, attended only by the Jade Emperor and Pang Hong, what they discussed remains unknown to anyone.
Heavenly Court, within the Emperor of Heaven's Imperial Study Room!
“That is mine!” the Jade Emperor exclaimed furiously!
At this moment in his Imperial Study Room, the normally placid Jade Emperor was no longer as before, his face carrying uncontrollable rage, he angrily declared.
“My things, those are my Divine Abilities! I've planned for the Great Law Decree Technique for centuries, spent who knows how much manpower and resources, and now with his light words, he wants to take it away and I should thank him! How preposterous!”
The Jade Emperor was furious, his anger burning fiercely as if to destroy everything.
But he was helpless because he knew his anger was pointless, changing nothing.
Yet even unable to change it, understanding all, reason told him that the current situation was adverse, and he could only suppress his anger, yet rage still continuously haunted his mind, making it uncontrollable.
The Great Law Decree Technique was something he had planned for centuries, spending untold manpower and resources to finally find, and just as it was within his grasp, it was obstructed.
This time his scheming, even if ultimately leading to the annihilation of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's incarnation and even damaging his true body, involved an unbearably painful price, still, it did not alleviate the Jade Emperor's fury.
In his view, this was a once-in-lifetime opportunity, so precious that even if the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder had sacrificed his own life, it would not have been enough to compensate, let alone just an incarnation.
Originally, he had been hindered by this Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, which had angered him greatly. However, he felt that the situation had not yet reached an irreparable state. At least the Great Law Decree Technique, although it hadn't fallen into his own hands, had not been taken away by the Saint Lord or fallen into the hands of the Shenxiao Sect.
This was a stroke of luck in an unfortunate situation, and it meant that he still had a chance to seize the artifact again.
At this time, even though he had exposed himself, it was not irretrievable. If he could get a hold of the Great Law Decree Technique, it would mean that he had gained the upper hand. Even if the rest of the Imperial Honors took precautions, against absolute power, all precautions were meaningless.
The balance of the situation between the Heavenly Court and the Divine Continent was a common demand of many True Immortal Taoist Monarchs. He had many concerns, and they had concerns as well.
His position as a puppet was both a restraint and a shackle, but it was also a protective lock. As long as he hadn't provoked widespread fury, those True Immortal Taoist Monarchs would not immediately intervene, and everything still held a possibility.
But as he was preparing to strategize again, taking advantage of the moment before others could react to retrieve the Great Law Decree Technique first, Pang Hong arrived.
Pang Hong's arrival was very bad news for the Jade Emperor, and Pang Hong represented not only himself but also the will of the Shenxiao Lineage and the Lord of Longevity.
The emergence of Pang Hong meant that, after this setback, the Shenxiao Lineage had not only not ceased their actions due to exposure but had also stopped hiding at all and stepped outright.
If it was just Pang Hong, or even just the Shenxiao Lineage stepping out to stop him, under the temptation of the powerful General Technique of the Great Law Decree Technique, the Jade Emperor could have pretended to comply, openly repair the plank road while secretly crossing the Chen Cang, not taking the opponent seriously and creating a fait accompli.
But what they brought was not just this, but also the will of the Lord of Longevity, which put the Jade Emperor in a difficult position. He could disregard others, but he dared not dismiss the will of the Lord of Longevity.
Among the many powerhouses in this world, standing at the level of a Taoist Monarch like the Jade Emperor, he would not be completely without the power to fight the other Taoist Monarchs, but facing the Lord of Longevity, he knew he had no power to contend.
Even; the collective pressure of all the other True Immortal Taoist Monarchs together was less threatening than what the Lord of Longevity posed.
,,,
The noise within the Imperial Study Room gradually quieted down, but this didn't mean the Jade Emperor's wrath had abated; he was just gradually concealing it.
“Huang Jin.”
“Your servant is here!” Huang Jin hurriedly responded.
Inside the Imperial Study Room, he remained silent when the Jade Emperor was angry, almost like an invisible person, but when the Jade Emperor's fury subsided and he needed him, he immediately responded.
“Tell the Prince of Xiang to choose outstanding disciples from within the royal family, to go to the Myriad Laws Realm and participate in the trials to seize the Great Law Decree Technique!”
“Additionally, inform Mr. Wang to consult with several members of the Cabinet and select a group of Supreme Strong to also participate in the trials in the Myriad Laws Realm.”
Although the Heavenly Court had been established and the original Great Ming Divine Dynasty had merged into the Heavenly Court, the officials of the former Great Ming Divine Dynasty had attained Divine Positions and were also one of the gods of the Heavenly Court, holding the authority of the Heavenly Court.
But apart from being gods of the Heavenly Court, they were also ministers of the Jade Emperor. While serving their divine roles, they had never abandoned their authority from the Great Ming Divine Dynasty.
One could say that within this Heavenly Court, aside from the Heavenly Court as the largest imperial court in the Divine Land World, there was also the small court of the original Great Ming Divine Dynasty. They were a group, with the Jade Emperor at the core, and everyone fell under the jurisdiction of the Jade Emperor.
This might sound a bit strange, but it was the reality. Many powerhouses knew this and no one had raised any objections.
