Chapter 1569: Chapters 1516-1517: At Any Cost_2 Chapter 1569: Chapters 1516-1517: At Any Cost_2 Unlike other forces and powerful beings, their declared purpose was to probe the depths of their opponents or to seek the opportunity to become a Tao-Certifying True Immortal. Even if some were motivated by the ambitions of their factions, more often it was for the personal ambitions of the Supreme Strong themselves, as they sought to secure the chance for advancement to True Immortality.
However, for the powerful beings under the command of the Jade Emperor taking part in this trial, the goal was very clear. They sought to continue the grand plan they had not completed in the past, to seize the Great Law Decree Technique.
For them, the power structure under the Jade Emperor was completely different from others. Everything they had came from the Jade Emperor, so all their actions were to serve the Jade Emperor and achieve his objectives.
The Great Law Decree Technique was something the Jade Emperor had pursued for a long time, at great cost. Currently, it was also the best way for the Jade Emperor to rapidly increase his power. Thus, the Jade Emperor naturally was not willing to give it up easily. He was prepared to pay any price to seize the Great Law Decree Technique.
“Your servant obeys!”
These words of the Supreme Strong resounded decisively.
After all, for these individuals, born under the heavenly banner of the Jade Emperor, almost all of their cultivation resources were provided by the Jade Emperor, markedly different from other cultivators. One could say they were quite similar to the devoted warriors nurtured by the powerful beings of the past.
Now that the time had come for the Jade Emperor to require their sacrifices, they naturally would not refuse, nor did they have any reason to do so.
Perhaps in other factions, even within immortal sects, this would be seen as a pressure, but to them, it was their bounden duty.
Of course, aside from the powerful beings under the Jade Emperor who had received orders to seize the Great Law Decree Technique at all costs during this Myriad Laws Realm trial, the powerful beings under the command of Great Emperor Ziwei also had a similar objective. However, Great Emperor Ziwei's craving for the Great Star Technique was not as indispensable as it was for the Jade Emperor, so his demand of the Star Gods under him was simply to do their best, to seize the chance if possible, but if not, to take hold of their own opportunities.
This illustrated the different positions held by the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei and their different needs, as the Jade Emperor's current position was under the gaze of all, especially as failing to procure the Great Law Decree Technique this time had pushed him squarely into the limelight, forcing him to rapidly increase his own power. Otherwise, under the greater pressure from all sides to come, his chances for development would become even more difficult.
But as for Great Emperor Ziwei, it was different. His current position was supported by various Taoist Monarchs who still needed several Emperor Monarchs like him to counterbalance the Jade Emperor.
The sky falls, and the tall ones will hold it up; sitting in the seat of the Heavenly Court Master was none other than the Jade Emperor. Therefore, the greatest threat to the Taoist Monarchs was the Jade Emperor, and naturally their focus was on him.
At least until the Jade Emperor completely lost his threatening presence, they would have to focus their attention on him, rather than someone like Ziwei.
Even using some darker trains of thought to view the current situation, the Jade Emperor's power posed a threat, but the biggest threat was not to Ziwei, but to those Taoist Monarchs.
As long as those Taoist Monarchs were unwilling to enter the fray personally, in a way, allowing the Jade Emperor to grow to a certain extent meant the greater the threat he posed, the more evident Ziwei's own significance became. In such a case, he could even gain the Taoist Monarchs' support, allowing him to enhance his own strength.
This was the way of survival for Great Emperor Ziwei. He believed his significant existence was to check the Jade Emperor, whose strength or absence was linked to Ziwei's own status and interests.
If the Jade Emperor was too weak and did not stir up some trouble, Ziwei's own presence would become less significant. Conversely, if the Jade Emperor continually caused trouble and threats, then Ziwei could have greater opportunities to perform, showing the Taoist Monarchs that his existence was meaningful.
Thus, Ziwei somewhat condoned the Jade Emperor's actions in secret, deliberately allowing him to grow, with the thought of nurturing a threat to one's own advantage.
Of course, every one of the Imperial Honors in the Heavenly Court had completely different thoughts. Just like Great Emperor Ziwei's strategy to foster threats to highlight his own significance, they believed that only through the Jade Emperor's constant troubles could they emphasize their own importance.
Emperor Gouchen believed that since he already occupied his position and faced the threat of the Sword Emperor, he must contain the Jade Emperor, lest he incurred the Sword Emperor's dissatisfaction and affected himself.
Thus, when Emperor Gouchen ordered the War God of the South Pole to personally lead the strong from the Gouchen Imperial Palace to the Myriad Laws Realm, his command was to prevent the Jade Emperor from obtaining the Great Law Decree Technique at all costs.
These two Emperor Monarchs, although they bore the same responsibilities, showed completely different attitudes when faced with the rise of the Jade Emperor.
As for the other Imperial Honors, the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life usually disregarded worldly affairs, paying no mind to the matters of the Heavenly Court, yet no one dared to level any criticism at him.
Great Emperor Houtu stayed out of the Nether Yin Department, and due to her origin with the Witch God Lineage, she did not get involved in the affairs of the Heavenly Court. Hence, the real responsibility to counterbalance the Jade Emperor fell on Emperor Gouchen, Great Emperor Ziwei, and Great Emperor Qinghua.
Great Emperor Qinghua, unlike Great Emperor Ziwei who harbored villains for his own use, nor Emperor Gouchen who spared no expense to stop the Jade Emperor, instead focused all his energy on himself.
Even during this trial of the Myriad Laws Realm, Great Emperor Qinghua gave no specific instructions to his subordinates among the supremes, leaving them to their own devices.
Whether these strong wished to prevent the Jade Emperor's subordinates from finding the Great Law Decree Technique, or sought their own opportunities, Great Emperor Qinghua did not intervene.
Thus, after Pei Xuanjing announced the rules of the Myriad Laws Realm trial, all the True Immortals from the various forces gave their esteemed supremes instructions, and the independent practitioners among the supremes also made their own decisions, merely waiting for the trial to begin.
Of course, as these individuals were getting ready to enter the trial, they inevitably turned their attention towards the direction of the Shenxiao Sect.
Although this trial was initiated due to the Jade Emperor's scheme to capture the Great Law Decree Technique, many strong knew that it was also because Taoist Monarch Pang Hong's disciple intended to resign as Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect. By taking the opportunity to place those supremes eligible to inherit the position in the trial, it served as a selection assessment.
The position of Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect was one of the most prestigious in the countless worlds of the Chaos Void, and even the Imperial Honors and True Gods of the Heavenly Court were required to treat the holder with proper respect.
The selection for this position would undoubtedly be anything but simple, nor was it possible that merely participating in the Myriad Laws Realm trial and achieving ultimate victory would be sufficient.
Such an assessment might be important at other times; after all, achieving victory in the Myriad Laws Realm trial would demonstrate absolute strength and related qualities.
However, what was required for the position of Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect was not only these factors. Perhaps, such a position demanded strength, but it definitely wasn't the most crucial criterion; there had to be other assessments unique to them.
“Perhaps by following these individuals, one could obtain some different information, regarding this Myriad Laws Realm trial?”
“Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect! If one could befriend the future leader and owe a favor, that would undoubtedly be a valuable investment.”
“The trials for the Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect are certainly unique, and since they are taking place in this Myriad Laws Realm, why not take advantage of it? Then make some other schemes, perhaps this can help oneself achieve the final victory!”
With their gazes fixed on the direction of the Shenxiao Sect, the strong from all sides harbored countless thoughts.
