The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1993: Chapter 1938–1939: The Mighty God-beating Whip and the Quasi-Taoist Monarch (2)

However, precisely because of this, when Ju Mang Ancestor Witch started to refine the Divine Position and fused it into himself, it was destined that he would also be restrained by the God-beating Whip.

Zhu Jiuyin was not surprised to see the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch take action; rather, he thought to himself, fortunately it’s not a Taoist Monarch powerhouse.

“Make him stop, and return to the Heavenly Court with me to discuss the crime!” The Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch remained unmoved, speaking coldly.

He is the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch; his foundation is to uphold the Heavenly Rules of the Heavenly Court and maintain its majesty. If the majesty of the Heavenly Court is swept away and it crumbles, others may have opportunities, but he himself has no choice at all.

The reason why the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch could advance his strength so quickly after the Enthroning Gods is fundamentally because of the position he holds. His role as Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch is deeply bound to the Heavenly Court, and its strength will continuously feed back into his Divine Position.

Conversely, if the Heavenly Court declines and the Gods are continually diminished, his Divine Position and power will also be severely affected.

Moreover, even if not for these reasons, for someone like him who upholds public interest and self-denial, upholding public interest and self-denial is his Great Tao, naturally he cannot sit and watch idly.

“Everything should be discussed between the Jade Emperor and the Church Master, why does the Heavenly Monarch have to be so aggressive?” Zhu Jiuyin said softly.

He had long heard of the character of the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch, knowing the other party would not easily let things go.

Now, all he could do was push the matter onto the Jade Emperor and the Witch God Sect Leader, meaning that now there is a Taoist Monarch powerhouse deciding, it would be better for the two of them to wait for the results of the Taoist Monarch’s discussion.

Regardless of whether this result is fought out or compromised mutually, both are acceptable.

It was not that Zhu Jiuyin lacked confidence to suppress the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch, but he did not want to expose his strength too early.

Even if various parties and powerhouses speculate about his strength, as long as it’s not exposed for a day, it can still be used as a trump card to confuse perceptions. On the contrary, if it is exposed, it will inevitably be targeted by all sides.

More importantly, now guarding in front of Ju Mang Ancestor Witch is only himself, and the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch attracted him. If it’s merely a strategy to sound the east and attack the west, then unforeseen events might occur.

If not necessary, Zhu Jiuyin is unwilling to make a move, seeking to gain time to substantiate matters.

After all, now entangling with the other party here is unreasonable. On the contrary, as long as the matter is substantiated, even if it’s unreasonable, it also holds an advantage.

If he encountered another powerhouse, perhaps he would smoothly go along with the tide.

Unfortunately, the one he encountered now is the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch. Since the other party is here, he will definitely not compromise.

“Words are futile; even if we need to wait for Your Majesty’s decision, you must first stop!” The Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch shouted coldly, making another move.

Zhu Jiuyin’s face turned dark, he no longer spoke more, and impulsively made his move.

These two powerhouses instantly stirred up another war, yet perhaps because Zhu Jiuyin did not want to expose too much of his strength, he did not instantly suppress the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch.

Actually, this action of Zhu Jiuyin was not bad for himself, after all, confronting the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch is one thing, but easily suppressing the other is quite another.

Facing off against the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch has occurred countless times, everyone is accustomed to it.

However, if the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch is suppressed, it is truly akin to slapping the face of the Heavenly Court.

The position of the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch is not that of a normal god; he represents the majesty of the entire Heavenly Court, similar to those imperial commissioners of the Divine Dynasty who patrol the world.

Having some intrigue and mutual calculation with these imperial commissioners is within the rules, but suppressing the imperial commissioner without a word of protest is naked rebellion.

The interpersonal relations of the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch in the Heavenly Court are not particularly good; after all, his position and the actions he must carry out inevitably lead to having few friends.

Some strong entities of the Heavenly Court might take pleasure in the misfortune, seeing the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch embarrassed, as a small act of revenge.

Yet if the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch were suppressed by Zhu Jiuyin, especially while maintaining the majesty of the Heavenly Court, it would truly rouse public anger, compelling some strong entities of the Heavenly Court to take action.

Watching these two scuffle endlessly, some gods of the Heavenly Court are itching to move, since the actions of the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch are to maintain the interests of the gods.

If Ju Mang Ancestor Witch were allowed to first refine the Divine Position of the Wood Virtue Star Lord, creating a fait accompli before making arrangements, what if others continued to emulate this approach in the future?

“Master, it seems Zhu Jiuyin is indeed a Taoist Monarch powerhouse; his confrontation with the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch can be described as suppressing entirely. Although it appears as though they were evenly matched, it’s obvious that he is handling it with ease, paying attention to whether anyone is approaching Ju Mang Ancestor Witch.” Pang Hong watched the exchange between the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch and Zhu Jiuyin, finally confirming his guess.

Originally, Pang Hong had speculated on Zhu Jiuyin’s strength, especially after exchanging ideas with True Monarch Bai Qicang, he suspected the other’s strength might be at a quasi-Taoist level.

Watching their fight now, it’s no doubt he confirmed this point; after all, Pang Hong and the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch both serve as gods in the Heavenly Court, having many ties between them, he understands quite well the strength of the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch, approximately where it stands.

While others might hesitate or choose reservation facing such situations, Pang Hong is uncertain, but since the one making the move is the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch, Pang Hong can assure that the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch will undoubtedly exert full effort, without any reservation.

But in such circumstances, Zhu Jiuyin can still cope with such ease, revealing how terrifying his strength might be; even without certifying as a Taoist Monarch, he may have reached a critical point, similar to a quasi-Taoist level.

This notion of quasi-Taoist didn’t exist before; after all, even if there were Taoist Monarch powerhouses, True Immortal Sixth Layer was True Immortal Sixth Layer, and Taoist was Taoist, without any quasi-Taoist title.

But after the great battle in the Myriad Laws Realm, strong experts exchanged blows, they discovered that even though similarly in the True Immortal Sixth Layer realm, the strength displayed by such peers appeared as drastically different as heaven and abyss, indescribable by simple terms.

Such True Immortal Sixth Layer powerhouses, even facing Taoist Monarchs, could exchange several moves, although eventually failing to win, yet having considerable counter-offensive capability,

thus termed as quasi-Taoist level by those who enjoy creating such notions.

Of course, whether this term stems genuinely from the times or stirred by certain powerhouses looking to elevate and set up targets, is subject to debate.

Regardless of whether it’s a sincere moniker or borne of malicious intent, what cannot be denied is how accurate this description is.

Therefore, Pang Hong and others gradually try using this term to assess the fighting capabilities of certain powerhouses, making it more clear and precise for everyone involved.

The power displayed by Zhu Jiuyin at this time should be at least a quasi-Taoist level. Among many True Immortal Sixth Layer powerhouses, the consensus is that the strength of the Law Enforcement Heavenly Monarch has substantial variability; if confronting the Heavenly Court Gods, empowered by the God-beating Whip, he can be called quasi-Taoist, but with non-Heavenly Court Gods, he falls short of quasi-Taoist.
