Chapter 1590: Chapter 1538 – Chapter 1539
But the trial was a trial, and what they sought was a suitable successor for the position of Sect Leader of Shenxiao Sect. Thus, all the trials, in essence, were more about observing their temperament, vision, and strength, among other things, rather than demanding that they specifically target the lineage of the Jade Emperor.
For Pang Hong, the Jade Emperor might pose some threat, but in reality, they didn't truly regard the Jade Emperor as a significant threat.
Moreover, even if the Jade Emperor were a threat, matters concerning True Immortals should be left to the True Immortals. Regardless of whatever thoughts and schemes the Jade Emperor might have, they as True Immortals were fully capable of responding. There was no need for the younger generation of the sect to be concerned.
Therefore, in setting up this trial, they didn't make any specific instructions, meaning to say that they wouldn't go to any lengths to prevent the Jade Emperor from obtaining the Great Law Decree Technique simply because it wasn't worth it.
The trials in the Myriad Laws Realm were indeed extremely brutal, but they also represented a very valuable experience. If the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect could emerge successfully from this trial, it would undoubtedly be a rare and beneficial experience for them, greatly aiding their cultivation and allowing them to ascend to a higher level.
Any scheme, in the face of absolute strength, is actually meaningless. In fact, many schemes are built upon a foundation of strength. Without sufficient strength, even the best plans can face the possibility of being unraveled by an opponent's overwhelming power.
As long as one becomes strong, all other schemes lose their meaning because, in the eyes of Pang Hong, this trial in the Myriad Laws Realm was, in fact, a rare opportunity for many disciples to enhance their own power. There was no need to stop others and waste their own fortuitous opportunities.
One must know that only disciples like Pang Hong were aware of just how much opportunistic fortune their esteemed master had placed within this Myriad Laws Realm trial. Many of the opportunities contained therein were even enviable to them as True Immortals.
“The Taoist Monarch doesn't care about these matters, nor does the Sect Leader feel threatened by the Jade Emperor. But for us, we cannot afford not to care.”
These were the words of one of the Supreme Strong who had initially proposed sanctioning the Jade Emperor. According to this Supreme Strong, they were all members of the Shenxiao Sect, they were the masters of the Shenxiao Sect. If they wished to carry the banner of the Shenxiao Sect, it was natural that they assume the corresponding responsibilities.
If they wanted to ascend to the position of Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect, they had to make their own contributions and sacrifices for the benefit of the Shenxiao Sect.
Undoubtedly, they believed that there were many forces currently posing a great threat to the Shenxiao Sect, and without question, the Jade Emperor was the biggest and the first to surface.
Thus, suppressing the Jade Emperor became a mutual agreement among these Supreme Strong, and it was for the sake of people like Wan Fayi that they now acted against the people of the Jade Emperor.
Because, although this wasn't a trial set by the Sect Leader for them, it was a mutual test among the competitors. They had reached an agreement: to succeed the Sect Leader, they must perform well in this matter.
Otherwise, even if they ultimately passed the Sect Leader's trial and stood out in the test, they would not be able to obtain recognition from the many other brothers and sisters. In such a case, even if they assumed the position by force, it would likely be impossible to command respect.
In the past, all matters of the Shenxiao Sect were handled by many True Immortals, and they could only follow orders behind the True Immortals.
But now, they had grown up. For them, as the younger generation of the Shenxiao Sect, what was most needed was to prove their existence, to make achievements that would show their elders they were not merely relying on the protection and favor of their predecessors to be where they were today.
Thus, for them, this was an opportunity to prove themselves, to demonstrate that they had truly grown, and had the strength and qualification to succeed everything of the Shenxiao Sect and bear the responsibilities of their forebears.
Such a rare opportunity was something these proud powerhouses of the Shenxiao Sect would absolutely not want to miss.
“Even if one ranks among the top, to ascend to the position of Sect Leader, one must gain the recognition and approval of everyone. Otherwise, even if one sits in that position, it is impossible to command respect and enforce one's will,” thought Wan Fayi.
The position of Shenxiao Sect Leader was of such prestige, wielding such great authority, which was unquestionable. To sit in that position and wield complete authority–commanding and forbidding at will–required not only strength but also the approval of all.
After all, no matter how powerful one is, it's impossible to personally take care of everything; one still needs the cooperation of many others to implement actions.
And how to get others to cooperate, to fully carry out many matters according to one's will, cannot be achieved by simply relying on the oppression of power.
If one truly wishes to carry out one's will, one needs to win people over, to gain their support, at the very least, to let others clearly see that one's actions are worth recognizing.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Suddenly, a series of heavy footsteps interrupted Wan Fayi's contemplation, and the unexpected noise caused him to frown slightly as he turned his gaze ahead.
