The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1541: Chapter 1488–1489 An Unexpected Result Pang Hong is Dissatisfied_2 Chapter 1541: Chapter 1488–1489 An Unexpected Result Pang Hong is Dissatisfied_2 He knew that he had also dealt with the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, and he was even clearer that such strong opponents, if given the chance to confront other strong ones, would absolutely not miss the opportunity.

The former Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder may not have had any dealings with the Jade Emperor, and given the Jade Emperor’s habitually dormant nature, even if the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder wanted to challenge him, the Jade Emperor would not engage in battle.

But this time was different; if he was to get hold of the Great Law Decree Technique, it would be akin to seizing the Jade Emperor’s lifeline, and the Jade Emperor, wanting to retrieve the Great Law Decree Technique, would certainly not avoid battle but would, on the contrary, actively engage in combat.

Yu Zhenzi fell silent, as he too had realized this upon being reminded. Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed. He saw a streak of flowing light heading towards the Shenxiao Domain; it was flashing with purple and green thunderous light, the distinctive method of message transmission of the Shenxiao Lineage. Moreover, a message that needed to be conveyed using such methods would inevitably be of great urgency.

“Master!” Pang Hong asked Pei Xuanjing for instructions, waiting until Pei Xuanjing nodded slightly. He reached out to summon the streak of flowing light; the purple and green thunderous light dissipated, transforming into a scroll of heavenly book made of jade silk, which was blank, void of any text or patterns.

Pang Hong gently waved his hand, and a talisman exclusive to the Shenxiao Sect flew out and landed on the heavenly book of jade silk. The thunderous patterns began to flow, subsequently turning into countless characters.

Even though the method of conveying messages by thunderous light was a very apparent characteristic of the Shenxiao Sect, and generally no outsiders would dare to intercept it lightly, how could they not take any precautionary measures?

This talisman exclusive to the Shenxiao Sect was used to unlock it; only by using the correct and orderly Talisman could the heavenly book of jade silk be opened, and the content within be revealed. If the Talisman was incorrect or in the wrong sequence, then not only could it not be opened, but it would also activate the self-destruct array attached inside the heavenly book of jade silk.

“This…” After Pang Hong deciphered the heavenly book of jade silk, he scanned the text inside and acquired the information, his gaze filled with solemnity.

“What has happened?” Yu Zhenzi felt a guess forming in his heart and inquired Pang Hong.

Could it be news about the Myriad Laws Realm? Has the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder failed?

While handing over the heavenly book of jade silk, Pang Hong said, “The Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder indeed snatched away the Great Law Decree Technique, just like the original plan. However, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he chose to stay and wait for the arrival of the Jade Emperor and engaged in a great battle with him in the Myriad Laws Realm.”

“In this showdown, the two strong opponents practically revealed all their trump cards. Not only did the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder carry his Immortal Artifact, the Wind-Thunder Tamp, but the incarnation of the Jade Emperor also brought his own Supreme Emperor Tower.”

“The final outcome was a Pyrrhic victory for the Jade Emperor. The Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was defeated by the Jade Emperor; however, even though the Jade Emperor won, he still did not manage to seize the Great Law Decree Technique. The Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder had already had someone sneakily replace and carry away the Great Law Decree Technique well in advance. Now, the whereabouts of the Great Law Decree Technique are unknown; the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder’s incarnation has perished, and the Jade Emperor’s efforts ended in vain.”

“This Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder is truly adept at botching things!” Yu Zhenzi kept an unchanged expression.

He had originally placed high hopes on the other party, who clearly had full assurance to take away the Great Law Decree Technique but insisted on challenging the Jade Emperor, ultimately leading to such a result.

Although the Great Law Decree Technique has already been moved away and not fallen into the hands of the Jade Emperor, this matter has transformed from a sure thing into one filled with uncertainties; how could he not feel angered?

That was only because he was in front of the Taoist Monarch; if it were anywhere else, he might very well have cursed out loud.

“Master, what should we do now? Once the Jade Emperor gets hold of the Great Law Decree Technique, I fear that there will be turmoil once more in the Divine Land World.” Pang Hong also showed an unchanged expression.

When he had announced that he would soon step down from the position of Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect, a storm had already begun brewing within the sect itself, nearly descending into chaos, and even spilling over into the outside world, stirring up many powerhouses and various forces in the Divine Land World.

This matter had already greatly displeased Pang Hong, even though he knew such events were inevitable, especially considering the position their Shenxiao Sect held, where every action could cause countless repercussions.

Yet, even if he was psychologically prepared, when the matter truly unfolded, he couldn’t help feeling a bit irritated.

The failure of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder made this situation even more complicated without a doubt, spilling oil on the fire, leading to an even more chaotic situation in the Divine Land World, tempting more people into the fray.

The Great Law Decree Technique, one of the Ten Supreme Divine Abilities in the Myriad Laws Realm, was indeed a real Supreme Divine Power. Perhaps it was nothing to those True Immortal Taoist Monarchs, they wouldn’t care, but it was extremely important to the ordinary Supreme Strong as well as to True Immortals. It was worth their competition, even if this Supreme Divine Power wasn’t an exact fit for them.

Moreover, the Great Law Decree Technique was not only suitable for the Jade Emperor alone, the remaining Imperial Honors, and many scattered Number Emperors from the Heavenly Court, they too could cultivate it.

What’s more, aside from the Emperors of the Heavenly Court, there also existed many Ancient Emperors. The kings of those ancient countries, they too could practice such Divine Abilities and were very compatible with them.

“There’s no need for harsh criticism; the success of this matter is not important,” Pei Xuanjing, the Longevity Taoist Monarch who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up.

He had seen clearly the dissatisfaction of Pang Hong and Yu Zhenzi, but he didn’t think there was any need to blame the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, or rather, there was no reason to blame the other party.

Not to mention that the relationship between the two sides was merely cooperative, to a cultivator, nothing is more important than one’s own cultivation. They did well to thwart the Jade Emperor’s plan, but they also overlooked the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder’s competitive heart.

Furthermore, Pei Xuanjing had just heard Yu Zhenzi explaining the plan. According to their agreement, they were to prevent the Jade Emperor from directly obtaining the Great Law Decree Technique. From this point of view, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder had fulfilled their agreement and had not sabotaged the plan.

The subsequent outcome did indeed differ somewhat from what both sides had expected, but this was not something that warranted harsh criticism, after all, the Jade Emperor had not yet acquired the Great Law Decree Technique.

“But Master, if this is the case, the Jade Emperor might still obtain the Great Law Decree Technique, which would greatly alter the situation between heaven and earth and stir up turbulence anew,” Pang Hong said with a somber expression on his face.

The situation in the Divine Land World was already chaotic enough. If the Jade Emperor succeeded again, it would indeed be adding fuel to the fire, entirely disrupting the current state of affairs.

Yu Zhenzi also nodded in agreement repeatedly. Their Shenxiao Sect was the biggest beneficiary right now. As long as the current situation continued, they could continuously reap benefits, so there was no reason not to maintain this state of affairs. This was why he had been willing to collaborate with the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder.

“Nothing is eternal in the world, nor are there any rules that are immutable for all eternity. Following the Dao with the times is the most fundamental point. Initially, when interests in the Divine Land World were insufficient, the Heavenly Court’s Expansion Plan aligned with everyone’s interests, allowing for continued development. If one day, the plan cannot satisfy everyone’s demands, or if no one wishes to continue, then even if one wants to maintain it, it will be impossible,” Pei Xuanjing stated indifferently, paying no heed to their concerns.

They were both considering things from the perspective of those who had already gained. Although Pei Xuanjing was a beneficiary himself, he would not assume everything in the world should remain unchanged forever–such a thought would be truly delusional.

There are no everlasting rules, but rather, continual change is the essence of all things.

The Heavenly Court’s Expansion Plan was proposed ten thousand years ago, corresponding with the interests of all beings at that time. Now, ten thousand years have passed, and with more people, naturally, more ideas arise.
