Chapter 1599: Chapter 1546 – Chapter 1547_2
These three forces represent different peoples' interests, each possessing immense power. Although their support for the Jade Emperor is unquestionable, they also have their own interests to assert.
The factions within these three powers are only a rough division. They can be united when competing for internal interest divisions under the Jade Emperor, but within their own ranks, there are many divisions.
Just like within the Court faction, there are divisions between Civil and Military Officials and between Noble Officials. These people are not part of a single camp, and even the same Civil and Military Officials have their own agendas. Those Noble Officials come from different backgrounds, each with their own interests; the Military Generals are divided between the Border Army and the personal guards.
There's no need to elaborate on the Royal Family lineage. Throughout the countless years of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, the Royal Family has been burdened with numerous responsibilities, but within these families, they too are divided into direct and collateral lines, close and distant relations.
As for the contradictions within the Factory Guard, it also needs no detailed description. It is almost universally known. Besides, merely as a secret service, if their relations were too close, not even the Jade Emperor himself could tolerate it.
Those few factions entering this time, represented by the Imperial Guard commander, represent the interests of the Court faction. After all, their provisions and salaries are allocated by the Council Elders of the Court, and their lifelines are in others' hands.
They are searching for the Great Law Decree Technique for the Jade Emperor, but they also carry the military orders of these Council Elders. For the Jade Emperor, whether it is the Royal Family, Imperial Guard, or Factory Guard that accomplishes this mission and secures the Great Law Decree Technique, there is no difference. He can achieve his goal and obtain what he desires.
However, for the actual executors of these three factions, it is completely different. Ultimately, whoever brings back the Great Law Decree Technique is the true success. They can receive the greatest reward and not return unrewarded.
If they fail to bring back the Great Law Decree Technique, no matter how much they have contributed or sacrificed in these trials, no one cares, no one is concerned.
Moreover, only by repeatedly succeeding can they demonstrate their value and enable the supporters behind them to see their significance and continue to support them.
The reputation of the Imperial Guard is indeed significant, but it is not the only force formed by the Jade Emperor over millennia. In these millennia, there have been many similar formations under the command of the Jade Emperor, but ultimately, the only ones that remained were them.
As for the other formations, they were disbanded or merged due to continuous failures and eventually realized their existence had no value or significance.
This is unacceptable for the Imperial Guard commander, and even for all members of the Imperial Guard. They clearly remember the fate of those disbanded parties. Although not losing everything, the difference in their status under the Jade Emperor and the distribution of resources is as vast as heaven and earth.
“Continue searching, we must find it before anyone else; otherwise, it is a failure!” said the Imperial Guard commander with a chilling gaze, speaking sternly: “The consequences of failure, you all are very clear.”
“Understood by subordinates!”
“Anyone who dares to block our path, kill without mercy!”
“Yes!”
The group of Imperial Guards rode their heavenly horses and marched forward without restraint, attracting many gazes. However, upon realizing these were the Heavenly Court's Imperial Guards, aside from a few strong individuals who entertained the thought of challenging them, most of the strong ones retreated significantly.
In the current situation, this combination of the Imperial Guard is extremely powerful. Under the command of a Supreme Overlord wielding Three Stars fighting power, with the support of other Imperial Guards and once the war array is initiated, even forces like Myriad Laws would exceedingly dread them.
Even if they gather their supporters and the powerful under their command, without sufficient benefits, they would not clash to the death with these people, as it would be meaningless and only serve to benefit others.
Of course, this is true in most cases, but for some factions, if their original goal is to target the members of the Jade Emperor Lineage, these people will not retreat an inch.
“It seems that these people possess clues that we are unaware of?” muttered the Earth War God, caressing the long spear in his hand.
The Earth War God, one of the Five Directional War Gods under Emperor Gou Chen of the Heavenly Court Venerable, where among the Five Directional War Gods, the Southern and Northern War Gods have already certified as Tao-Certifying True Immortals. The remaining Sky War God and Human War God, though not yet certified, also possess strength comparable to True Immortals.
Therefore, the Myriad Laws Realm trial this time is entrusted to the Earth War God, who is still in the Supreme Overlord Realm, partly because he has the most suitable strength. After all, Emperor Gou Chen's goal is to fully stop the Jade Emperor's faction from obtaining the Great Law Decree Technique, and the people sent by the Jade Emperor are all powerful, ordinary Supreme Strong ones have no qualification even to contest them.
Only a powerful being like the Earth War God qualifies to truly obstruct the plans of the Jade Emperor's people in the Myriad Laws Realm trial.
Another reason is also to give him a chance to certify as a True Immortal, as this trial in the Myriad Laws Realm contains many fortuitous opportunities, and if the Earth War God could ascend to True Immortality, it would be a great gain for Emperor Gou Chen's Imperial Palace.
Upon entering the Myriad Laws Realm, the Earth War God swiftly killed opponents and plundered points, while also using the secret techniques of Emperor Gou Chen's lineage to gather forces.
Once enough forces were gathered, he immediately began a full-on search for the strong ones on the Jade Emperor's side, aiming to kill them relentlessly without restraint.
Unfortunately, though they have hunted down many solitary strong ones from the Jade Emperor's side, up until today, they still have not encountered the main force of the Jade Emperor's side, nor have they found any information about the Great Law Decree Technique.
The Earth War God kept dispatching people to search for traces of the strong ones of the Jade Emperor's side, believing that this would surely lead them to the whereabouts of the Great Law Decree Technique.
It is known that during the previous conflict in the Myriad Laws Realm, the Jade Emperor and the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder clashed, with the latter being defeated and perishing in incarnation, and although he desperately sent away the Great Law Decree Technique, it undoubtedly still remained within the Myriad Laws Realm.
After all, under the circumstances faced by the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder at the time, it was impossible to take away the Great Law Decree Technique, and then the Longevity Taoist Monarch immediately sealed the Myriad Laws Realm, making it impossible for anyone to take anything away.
Moreover, the most important point is that if the Great Law Decree Technique was not in the Myriad Laws Realm, why would the Jade Emperor bother to send people to participate in this trial? And given the Longevity Taoist Monarch's style of conduct, if he invited the Jade Emperor, he definitely would not take the Great Law Decree Technique away, which correlates with his reputation.
According to various speculations, even if the Longevity Taoist Monarch clearly knew where the Great Law Decree Technique was, he likely wouldn't touch it, but would let these people seek it out themselves.
Initially, following some clues obtained from the Sky Mechanism Pavilion, the Earth War God realized these clues were useless and led to nothing.
However, not long ago, his subordinates found traces of those from the Jade Emperor's side, seeming to move with a purpose, which made him speculate.
As one of the parties involved in the initial contest for the Great Law Decree Technique, apart from the Shenxiao Lineage receiving clues from the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, the Jade Emperor, despite not controlling the Great Law Decree Technique in the end, must have also left some clues knowing the approximate location.
“Forget it, no need to think too much, just following them is the best approach!” decided the Earth War God, abandoning further contemplation.
