Chapter 1435: Chapters 1382-1383 Jade Emperor’s Plan_2 Chapter 1435: Chapters 1382-1383 Jade Emperor’s Plan_2 And the reactions of these powers and Supreme Strong were exactly what Huang Jin and his associates needed to pay attention to. Only by understanding these reactions could they timely prepare all necessary responses.
“No matter, if those people have any ideas, let them be, no need to intervene anymore,” said the Jade Emperor Zhu Houji as he scattered fish food from his hands, laughing.
As the fish food fell into the tranquil pond, countless fish swarmed to fight for the food.
The fish in this pond were not ordinary; they possessed the bloodline of Jiao dragons, known as Dragon Fish. Swallowing them could greatly benefit one’s cultivation, although this had little significance for a True Immortal like the Jade Emperor; he merely considered them ornamental.
Over the years, living within the Heavenly Court and nourished by the Heavenly and Earthly Qi, these Dragon Fish had thrived well, their bloodlines beginning to revert to their ancestry, nearly transforming into Jiao dragons.
Watching these Dragon Fish snatch at the fish food, Jade Emperor Zhu Houji chuckled and said, “Those people are just like these Dragon Fish in the pond, fighting over minor benefits to death, oblivious that these are merely scraps thrown away by others.”
From Zhu Houji’s perspective, he indeed faced restrictions from all sides, with all the Supreme Strong fearing his expansion of authority and tacitly suppressing him.
Yet even so, given Zhu Houji’s strength, not every opponent deserved his attention or fear, just like those people and powers Huang Jin mentioned.
Their approach was not bad: observing the movements of Shenxiao Mountain and even the Longevity Taoist Monarch to opportunistically seek benefits for themselves. However, this method, though seemingly clever, was actually inferior, showing that they were still a level lower and not worthy of direct discourse with Shenxiao Mountain.
True Supreme Strong would not need to engage in such actions; their very existence in this world was at the pinnacle. Should Shenxiao Mountain have any plans, they could not possibly bypass them.
They were the ones truly qualified to sit down, share the spoils, and engage with Shenxiao Mountain on an even footing to discuss the division of benefits.
The rest, the so-called benefits they fought over, were merely leftover scraps, akin to the Dragon Fish here, merely consuming scattered food.
The world today was no longer what it once was. After the initiation of the Heavenly Court’s Expansion Plan, every party needed to look beyond the confines of the Divine Continent, to the broader heavens and seek more opportunities.
Truly wise individuals would not focus solely on the movements within Shenxiao Mountain in the Divine Land World but would pay more attention to the Heavenly Court or the new worlds that had been discovered.
The discovery of these small worlds represented immense fortuitous opportunities for all Supreme Strong, especially with the protections of the Longevity Taoist Monarch and the Heavenly Court ensuring that no single power could monopolize the fortune of a new world, thus allowing other Supreme Strong opportunities to enter different small worlds to seek fortunes.
Each Supreme Strong’s path of cultivation was different, requiring different resources, so even worlds that had been scavenged by other powers or Supreme Strong might still hold resources for others.
“How is the plan for Class B World No.1 progressing?” Jade Emperor Zhu Houji asked Huang Jin.
Since the push of the Heavenly Court’s Expansion Plan, they had discovered countless worlds over the years, each world unique, and even their names often repeated.
Thus, at the suggestion of a Supreme Strong, instead of calling these worlds by their original names, they decided simply to name them according to the will of the Heavenly Court.
Lastly, after deliberations within the Heavenly Court, the worlds were categorized into different levels based on their world tiers, such as first, second, or third rates, corresponding to the strength of the world itself,
This strength was determined by comparing the power level of the Divine Land World or, in other words, the threat level these worlds posed to the Divine Land World.
As for the numbering that follows, it merely pertains to the order in which this world was discovered and holds no other significance that needs attention.
Class B World No.1–this world is none other than the one discovered initially by Wood Virtue Star Lord. According to the many powerful beings of the Heavenly Court, this world is rated as Class B and hasn’t reached the highest.
By the way, this world currently ranks as the strongest among those discovered by the Heavenly Court, and none other has yet surpassed its level.
Of course, the threat is not significant, but that doesn’t mean the Heavenly Court can easily devour it, especially since this world has the potential to give birth to Tao-Certifying True Immortal level beings.
Even with the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life as the vanguard, followed by the arrival of numerous True Immortals and Supreme Strong arriving later, truly integrating this world would take some effort.
Initially, Jade Emperor Zhu Houji had also descended into that world. However, after learning about the world and searching for some Opportunistic Fortune, he did not focus his main efforts there.
Partly, this was because Zhu Houji clearly felt something in that world–his actions there were actually being suppressed by various True Immortals, who were consciously and seemingly in accord, pressuring and limiting some of his actions.
They did not want their power to grow too quickly, fearing that after his power increased, he would inadvertently expand his authority and encroach upon their interests.
Now, the Heavenly Court might seem harmonious, but in reality, the struggles among the various parties never stopped. And with the continuous discovery of new worlds, the scale of the benefits over which parties contend has grown even greater.
In the midst of this, the Master of the Heavenly Court himself was being covertly suppressed by a mutual agreement of the parties involved, primarily because his identity was unique.
For other powerful beings, even many Imperial Honors and True Gods, their realm of authority was actually limited and not infinitely expansible. Even if there was a momentary rapid increase, once a certain level was reached, a ceiling would be hit, beyond which expansion could not continue.
But he was different; he was the Jade Emperor, the highest of the Six Imperials, the Emperor of Heaven. Although his authority was currently divided among many, in reality, he was qualified to inquire into any matter, possessing ample authority to expand without restriction.
Originally, many True Immortals agreed to let him be the Master of the Heavenly Court because some True Immortals thought that even if he took advantage of deification to prove himself as a True Immortal, he would be just an ordinary True Immortal.
Apart from Master Pei, no one else knew his secret, so when he proved himself as a Tao-Certifying True Immortal displaying the strength of both the Immortal Path and the Earth Immortal Path simultaneously, it naturally caused some True Immortals to be surprised.
An ordinary newly advanced True Immortal and one that proved two paths are fundamentally different–not only in terms of potential but also in terms of strength, there is a world of difference.
This directly caused those people to harbor fears; they could not let him grow unrestricted. Otherwise, once a snowball effect started, even the union of many True Immortals would be unstoppable.
The united will of many True Immortals virtually represented the will of the entire cosmos. In such a situation, even Master Pei, the strongest being in the Divine Land World, was reluctant to hinder him, let alone himself at present. Hence, avoiding direct confrontation was inevitable.
Thus, Zhu Houji was well aware that competing for great fortuitous opportunities with other True Immortals in the same world would inevitably leave him suppressed. Therefore, it was better to withdraw in time and search for a more suitable world.
“Build high walls, amass a surplus of grain, and claim sovereignty slowly.” These nine characters, deeply ingrained into the marrow of the Zhu Family, meant Zhu Houji was neither hasty nor worried.
He knew that although he hadn’t yet become a target of public detraction, he wasn’t far from it, especially since the strength he had previously demonstrated was astonishingly formidable.
Therefore, in this situation, keeping a low profile was the best choice. Only by leading others to overlook him and focus their attention on others could he buy more time and secure more opportunities for development.
