Chapter 1589: Chapters 1536-1537 Acting Domineering, Strongmen's Tacit Understanding_2 Chapter 1589: Chapters 1536-1537 Acting Domineering, Strongmen's Tacit Understanding_2 According to their reasoning, since the Myriad Laws Realm would permit the Jade Emperor lineage to participate, it signified that the Longevity Taoist Monarch, and even the True Immortals of the Shenxiao Sect, were not concerned about this matter.
After all, if they truly cared about this matter to a great extent, why would they allow the other party to act unfettered within the Myriad Laws Realm? They could have simply refused the other party's participation from the beginning, directly solving the problem at its source.
“It's not the same! The Taoist Monarch might not care, the True Immortals might not care, but that doesn't mean these people don't care!” A trace of an indescribable expression appeared on the face of the War God of the South Pole.
“The Taoist Monarchs may not mind these things, but to the likes of Wan Fayi, the honor of the Shenxiao lineage rises above all else. The Jade Emperor's actions basically equate to disregarding the Shenxiao lineage. Tell me, do you think they would so easily allow it?” The words were laden with a hint of apprehension as they were spoken by the War God of the South Pole.
The strength of the Shenxiao lineage did not solely come from the Longevity Taoist Monarch; it also came from those powerful True Immortals. And, among those who serve as the core, the Supreme Strong, their unity in upholding the Shenxiao lineage represented the might of the Shenxiao Sect.
Just like in the current situation, it seemed that these disciples were acting against the will of the Taoist Monarch and the True Immortals, but what they were doing was upholding the honor and dignity of the Shenxiao lineage.
They were signaling to the Jade Emperor and others that, while the Taoist Monarch and the Sect Leader, these powerful beings, might disregard the Jade Emperor's trivial maneuvers and be magnanimous enough to forgive them, it didn't mean the Shenxiao lineage was willing to swallow their pride. They would make it clear to the Jade Emperor that the Shenxiao lineage was not to be provoked.
“Such tyranny!” a strong cultivator remarked softly, a complex look upon his face.
Obviously, from the current situation, these participants from the Shenxiao Sect, even if they were willing to forsake all opportunistic fortune and not take part in the final ranking, would stop at nothing to prevent the Jade Emperor from seizing the Great Law Decree Technique.
And if one were to think about it carefully, in the very beginning, it was the Shenxiao lineage that first acted to stop the Jade Emperor's plans. The real victim wasn't the Shenxiao lineage, but the Jade Emperor.
Yet now, the Shenxiao lineage was acting as if its dignity had been challenged. Such an attitude was lamentable, and also radiated an air of dominance.
“Domineering! Indeed, it's domineering! But which of the immortal sect powers today is not domineering? They have the right to be. And before the Heavenly Court was even established, were the actions of those from the large powers not domineering?” The War God of the South Pole snorted lightly, not finding anything surprising.
The style of behavior of these large powers had never changed over the years. As an Independent Practitioner who had lived through that earlier era, before the Longevity Taoist Monarch had appeared, the immortal sects back then were even more domineering than now, and Independent Practitioners were squeezed so much that they hardly had any space to live.
To this day, if one thinks about it, the existence of the Longevity Taoist Monarch had improved the living conditions for these Independent Practitioners. At least they now had a relatively fair environment with opportunities to rise above.
And this so-called tyranny is merely because everyone fights from different positions with different interests at stake. They have their own interests, and the strong ones of the Shenxiao Sect have their own as well.
This time, the Jade Emperor's actions were initially a challenge to the Shenxiao lineage and even many Taoist Monarchs.
These common cultivators might not know, but how could these True Immortals be unaware of how the Jade Emperor attained his position initially? It was none other than the Longevity Taoist Monarch who single-handedly promoted the Jade Emperor to this coveted position.
Such immense favor, for ordinary cultivators, could not even be repaid with their own lives. And having received such grace, not to mention how one might repay the Longevity Taoist Monarch, at the very least, one shouldn't be ungrateful and burn bridges after crossing them, right?
Yet what did the Jade Emperor do? As soon as he secured his position, he immediately began plotting to seize authority, attempting to usurp the authority of the Longevity Taoist Monarch's Divine Tao Incarnation. Such behavior surprised and appalled many.
Although they understood the other's reluctance to be controlled and their own ambition, at his position, the targets he could seek out were not limited to the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life but also included a few other Imperial Honors.
You must understand that the existence of these Imperial Honors was to counterbalance his position, all of which had divided his authority. He could easily start by targeting the authority of the other Imperial Honors.
In this manner, if he managed to consolidate the authority of the other Imperial Honors into his hands, then choosing to reclaim the authority of the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life under these circumstances, would hardly be frowned upon by anyone. They'd believe it was the final step, as it should be.
Of course, even given how the Longevity Taoist Monarch treated him, if he accomplished this task, he wouldn't need to lift a finger. The Longevity Taoist Monarch would likely directly transfer the authority to him.
However, while the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life had shared a portion of his authority, A'Hai's decision to make a move undoubtedly seemed a bit overreaching and backstabbing.
It was precisely because of this that the initial honeymoon period between the Jade Emperor and the Shenxiao Lineage had ended so quickly. They gained not only a lack of support from the Shenxiao Lineage but even faced retaliation, which also invited kickings from other factions while they were down.
Just think, if he hadn't done that initially and still had the support of the Shenxiao Lineage, perhaps the current situation would be much better.
Having been stabbed in the back before, this is why Yu Zhenzi did not turn a blind eye upon discovering the other's schemes. Instead, he took action to keep things in balance.
After all, if the two parties had really cooperated, even if the other's strength had increased, the Shenxiao Lineage would definitely not be the first to be affected. It was entirely possible to let things take their course and pretend nothing had been seen.
Currently, discontent with the Jade Emperor within the Shenxiao Lineage wasn't limited to one or two individuals but ran throughout the entire lineage, top to bottom. They all rejected the Jade Emperor lineage and were reluctant to see the Jade Emperor obtain authority.
After all, given how the initial Jade Emperor had been so ungrateful, if they allowed their opponent to rise again, it would be a significant threat to the Shenxiao Lineage. They couldn't trust the opponent to show restraint out of past sentiment.
So, although the Taoist Monarchs and Sect Leaders had let the other party participate in the trials of the Myriad Laws Realm, this did not mean that powerful beings like Wan Fayi were willing to allow this threat to continue to grow.
This was the stance of the aggressive faction within the Shenxiao Sect, and without doubt, the Shenxiao Sect's current dominance was held by this aggressive faction. They held a suppressive attitude toward the development of the Jade Emperor, determined not to allow any chance for his rise.
Moreover, it wasn't just about targeting the Jade Emperor; they also wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Given the Shenxiao Sect's current position, although not at the center of attention, it was undoubtedly coveted by many. Weren't they all waiting for the Shenxiao Sect to make mistakes and pull them down from their pedestal?
This time, if the Shenxiao Lineage didn't respond to the Jade Emperor's actions, it might give other powers the idea to do the same, to provoke and covertly oppose the Shenxiao Sect.
Such an event was far from impossible, so it was necessary to preemptively prevent it and show no weakness at all, to solidify Shen Xiao's position and maintain the current state of affairs.
And what the War God of the South Pole didn't know was that, this time, the suppression of the Jade Emperor had already reached a consensus among many powerful members within the Shenxiao Sect. They even considered this as part of the assessment for the successor to the Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect.
Indeed, according to the rules laid down by Pang Hong and the others, they had allowed all the powerful candidates with the potential to inherit the lineage of the Shenxiao Sect Leader to enter into the trials of the Myriad Laws Realm. They set specific challenges for these individuals, to select and determine whether they met the requirements of the Sect Leader.
