Chapter 1537: Chapters 1484-1485 Wind and Thunder Move the Nine Heavens Supreme Emperor Tower_2 Chapter 1537: Chapters 1484-1485 Wind and Thunder Move the Nine Heavens Supreme Emperor Tower_2 Even though a Taoist Monarch possesses a long lifespan, it was not to be wasted so profligately.
“Wind and Thunder Move the Nine Heavens!” The Jade Emperor’s expression subtly changed, waves of emotion arising in his eyes.
With his Realm and status, there were practically no secrets in this Divine Land World or in the vast Chaos Void that comprised many worlds.
What more to say of Shenxiao Sect’s supreme divine power Wind and Thunder Move the Nine Heavens, which was not even hidden intentionally; it had even been deliberately proclaimed by many powerful members of the Shenxiao Lineage.
Whereas it was wisdom for others not to flaunt their wealth to avoid others’ covetous gazes, the people of Shenxiao Sect had no such concerns since everything they possessed was due to the existence of the Longevity Taoist Monarch.
And should the day come when the Longevity Taoist Monarch’s protection was gone, all they possessed would become a deadly temptation, and the presence of one more supreme divine power wouldn’t change that.
Instead, they viewed the existence of this supreme divine power as a symbol proclaiming to all beings their distinctiveness as the Shenxiao Lineage.
It told them that although the Taoist Monarch established the Taoist Academy and often preached the skill, seemingly admitting all, in truth he also knew who truly belonged, showing a particular favor towards the Shenxiao Lineage.
Therefore, it was almost universally known that Shenxiao Sect possessed the supreme divine power Wind and Thunder Move the Nine Heavens, and while it may have initially been overlooked by some, once Thunder God Pang Hong used this power to overpower and suppress a True Immortal Sixth Heavenly Layer cultivator wielding authority over a world, no one dared to overlook it any longer.
Cultivators on the True Immortal Sixth Heavenly Layer were pinnacle beings, and even with thousands of years’ buildup in the Divine Land World, there were not many of them.
Moreover, a True Immortal Sixth Heavenly Layer being capable of representing the heavens and holding sway over a Second-class World could wield combat power close to that of a True Immortal Seventh Layer Taoist Monarch within that particular world.
Yet such a mighty being was subdued, and even though they acknowledged Thunder God Pang Hong’s exceptional foundation and formidable strength, it was the witnessed battle that left no doubt of the decisive role played by Wind and Thunder Move the Nine Heavens.
Since then, the reputation of the supreme divine power Wind and Thunder Move the Nine Heavens resounded throughout the Divine Land World, known and detailed by every power therein, with some even believing that unless the Longevity Taoist Monarch unveiled a new Thunder Path divine ability, Wind and Thunder Move the Nine Heavens would be regarded as the foremost of its kind.
For a power that could threaten the True Immortal Taoist Monarchs, even the Jade Emperor who had not witnessed it firsthand would surely not be ignorant of it.
Now, seeing Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder employ such a method made him too subtly change his expression.
After all, there were incorrectly given names, but no misnamed divine powers.
Every skill was derived from cultivators’ own enlightenment and deduction of the Laws of the world; the name of a divine ability was not given arbitrarily–it must echo the intent of the cosmos, and only then could it garner the attention of heaven and earth, invoking their might. As for lesser powers, perhaps that wasn’t as necessary, but the more formidable the power, the more this held true.
This move called “Wind and Thunder Move the Nine Heavens” by the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was clearly of the Wind and Thunder divine nature, bearing such a resemblance to Shenxiao Sect’s own, and considering the relationship between the two sides, if you said they had no connection, do you think the Jade Emperor would believe you?
And even if the Jade Emperor was wrong, even if there was no connection between the two, considering that Wind and Thunder skills were known for their fearsome might and now wielded by a Laws master like Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, the Jade Emperor would not dare to underestimate it.
“Suppress!”
Not waiting for his opponent to finish gathering power, the Jade Emperor stretched forth his hand, and in that instant, a nine-tiered golden pagoda appeared in his hand.
Jade Emperor Tower, this was an Immortal Artifact consecrated by the Jade Emperor himself, and it was an extremely powerful Immortal Artifact. In order to seize the Great Law Decree Technique without fail, the Jade Emperor not only split a powerful incarnation of himself but also carried one of his extremely important Immortal Artifacts.
One should know that even with the Jade Emperor’s status and the resources at his disposal, over ten thousand years he had truly forged no more than a mere three such treasures.
Before becoming a Tao-Certifying True Immortal, the most potent Divine Weapon in the hands of the Jade Emperor was naturally the Xuanyuan Sword–a human race Qi Luck Divine Weapon secured from the Witch Deity Teaching. The most powerful Magical Treasure he had developed was his Yu Seal.
These two Divine weapon treasures were the greatest symbols of his identity and position, and he could also unleash their most powerful might.
However, that Yu Seal was one thing; the key was the Xuanyuan Sword, which was the human race’s Qi Luck Divine Weapon and was wielded by the Human Race Common Master.
If he remained the lord of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, even if he could not suppress various forces, but as the sole emperor of the Divine Dynasty, then wielding this Divine Weapon was naturally legitimate.
But after the establishment of the Heavenly Court, when he ascended as the Emperor of Heaven, he was not only the Human Race Common Master but also became the master of both heaven and earth, the ruler of the countless beings in the Divine Land World, even if it was only in name.
At that time, his heaven and earth Qi Luck increased, but the human race Qi Luck was no longer the sole nor the most powerful element; even wielding the Xuanyuan Sword would not be able to release its greatest power.
At that time, he faced a choice, either to give up the Xuanyuan Sword and forge a new Divine Weapon or to recast the Xuanyuan Sword into his own Sword of the Emperor of Heaven.
According to the Jade Emperor’s first thought, naturally, it would be the latter. After all, not to mention that the Xuanyuan Sword was forged from the finest Divine Material at the beginning, but even ordinary Divine Material, after being immersed in the human race Qi Luck for countless years, would also have turned into supreme Divine Material and would suffice to forge Immortal Artifacts, and could entirely transform into an exceedingly powerful Immortal Artifact.
But this was an idea that could only be thought about. The Jade Emperor could not do it, or rather said that none of the human race powerhouses would allow it, nor would it be possible to let the Jade Emperor destroy this Qi Luck Divine Weapon belonging to the human race, because this was the heritage of the human race.
After all, these powerhouses were of human origins; they had made untold sacrifices to expel the Demon Race, allowing the human race to truly become the dominators of the Divine Land World.
Even as the Divine Land World expanded and various beings integrated into it, they were still dominated by the human race. Other races and beings, even if integrated, would either slowly be assimilated into the human race becoming part of them or be suppressed and ostracized. This was an ironclad rule that could not be altered, even inscribed into the Heavenly Rules.
A Human Race Common Master could be an Emperor of Heaven, but an Emperor of Heaven was not a Human Emperor; there was a huge difference between the two.
With the human race’s current prosperity, the human race Qi Luck Divine Weapon, the Xuanyuan Sword, was originally an existence that did not pale in comparison to Immortal Artifacts, one of the fundamental reserves of the human race. If it were to be refurbished by the Jade Emperor, it would have become the Immortal Artifact of the Emperor of Heaven, no longer related to the human race–a loss to the interests of the human race.
Under such circumstances, not only was the idea of the Jade Emperor dismissed, but later on, several Taoist Monarchs personally intervened, forcing the Jade Emperor to hand over the Xuanyuan Sword for it to be returned to the Witch Deity Teaching for safekeeping.
Regardless, whether one liked it or not, the Witch Deity Teaching was the foundation of the human race; their base was the human race, they could not contravene the interests of the human race. The Xuanyuan Sword was sealed away, waiting for the day a ruler of the human race would emerge to find a new master.
Although the Jade Emperor was annoyed by this matter, he had no recourse, for this was not the will of a handful of powerhouses but the consensus of all human race strong individuals, even Master Pei did not support it.
Having lost the Xuanyuan Sword, the Jade Emperor naturally could only forge a new Immortal Artifact. In ten thousand years, he had created three Immortal Artifacts, and the nine-layered golden tower before him was one of them, known as the Supreme Emperor Tower!
The Supreme Emperor Tower was rooted in the Divine Material that the Jade Emperor had sought throughout All Heavens. He had enlisted the help of a few top Divine Craftsmen to forge the initial form and embryo, and finally, he personally consecrated it for thousands of years. Once the Immortal Artifact was achieved, it was a very potent existence, also renowned among the many Immortal Artifacts in the world.
