Chapter 2084: Chapter 2030–2031: Divine Martial Dao—Clash of the Taoist Monarchs
“The struggle for the Great Tao, though urgent, has been rushed too much by the Jade Emperor!” Yu Zhenzi, standing nearby, said with a frown.
After obtaining the Kongtong Seal, the Jade Emperor initiated the human race’s struggle, which was already a war against the Human Race Five Emperors. This conflict between the two is bound to attract great forces. Even if the Jade Emperor harbors ambition, other strong entities might tacitly choose to sit back and let the Human Race Five Emperors take the lead.
But now, the Jade Emperor is spreading the Divine Martial Dao, intending to pass down his orthodox teachings among the human race, which is something other powerful entities cannot tolerate.
Whether it’s vying for the human race’s Qi Luck or passing down the Divine Martial Dao, either of these actions alone is not a problem, but combined, it means waging war on two fronts, which could lead to unimaginable consequences.
Imagine this: if he gains control over the human race and also passes down the Divine Martial Dao, how terrifying would the combined power be? Other orthodox teachings might all fade into obscurity as mere side sects.
“It seems like a reckless move, but in reality, it might be a necessary choice. With all sides watching intently, if he does not pass on the Divine Martial Dao in advance, he might not even have the chance to do so later. It’s better to go all out now; at least he can bind many gods to his chariot!” Although Pang Hong was surprised, he quickly saw through the Jade Emperor’s intention.
Such a move exposes his own thoughts, revealing his plans in the open, attracting dissatisfaction and fear from many orthodoxy, but at the same time, he’s also presenting an opportunity, allowing many deities to see hope.
For many deities, acquiring a Divine Position means there are no better options on the Immortal Path, which accounts for the vast majority. Only a few strong ones, like Pang Hong, use the Divine Position as mere assistance.
Most deities place all their bets on the Divine Tao; only with the prosperity and strength of the Divine Tao can they themselves become powerful.
However, Pei Xuanjing’s established Immortal Path of Heaven, Earth, Man, God, Ghost, and Five Immortals includes the Divine Tao, making it part of the Divine Immortal Path, which subtly suppresses the development of the Divine Tao.
Now, with the Jade Emperor promoting the Divine Martial Dao, it’s a ray of light, a glimmer of hope, showing the gods the opportunity for the Divine Tao to flourish, encouraging them to give the Jade Emperor more support at this time.
If the Jade Emperor does not bring this out now, or doesn’t dare to bring it out, doing so when he falls behind later would be completely different. He might not even have the opportunity to bring it out if he’s at a disadvantage.
“In today’s world, our Taoist School is the orthodox; there must be a Taoist Monarch taking action, or how would our Taoist School maintain its reputation?” Yu Zhenzi sneered, understanding what Pang Hong said, but also realizing that the strong of the Taoist School would not sit idly by.
Whether acknowledged or not, the Taoist School is currently the largest orthodox in the world. With the Jade Emperor acting like this, the strong of the Taoist School are bound to respond.
Sure enough, once the words were spoken, there was movement in the world, and the terrifying presence of a Taoist Monarch from the Taoist School emerged.
“Jade Emperor, with the Taoist School as the earthly orthodox, you actually dare to act like this; you are seeking death! Back then, you borrowed strength from the Taoist School to reach this point, and now you must pay the price!” Lord Divine Skill Miaoji’s killing intent was palpable, her chilling presence enveloped the sky, penetrating the heavens.
The moment a Taoist Monarch’s killing thought arises, the heavens and earth respond. If not for the current chaotic Tian Ji, it would surely alarm the Ten Directions of Heaven and Earth. Even so, within the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor was still aware, his eyes gazing in the direction of Lord Divine Skill Miaoji, as killing intent emerged.
He indeed came from the Taoist School and brought ample benefits and resources to it. Moreover, if not for the suppression from the Taoist School, he could have advanced much farther.
“Miaoji, you have gone too far; someday I will attain the Great Tao and use your blood to sacrifice the heavens!” The Jade Emperor’s eyes pierced through the heavens and earth, his formidable spiritual consciousness met that of Lord Divine Skill Miaoji in the sky.
The Jade Emperor was extremely dissatisfied. Although Lord Divine Skill Miaoji was an Ancestral Master figure within the Taoist School, they were both Newly Ascended Dao Lords; neither feared the other.
Besides, although there are many Taoist Monarchs in the Taoist School nowadays, apart from Pei Xuanjing, those who truly hold authority include the Master of Xuan Du Temple and the Ancestor Celestial Master, veteran Daoist Monarchs. Where is there room for you, Lord Divine Skill Miaoji, to speak?
The other party stood forth this time merely to display prestige, seeking to gain fame in the Taoist School by stepping on him. How could the Jade Emperor’s personality allow himself to be so easily schemed against? “Boom!”
The intense collision unfolded in the sky, the void collapsed, and the aftershocks shook the Five Elements.
A True Dragon extended its claw, tearing apart the heavens and earth as Lord Divine Skill Miaoji showcased her Divine Abilities, leading to a fierce clash between the two!
“Jade Emperor, at the time of a future great war, I will certainly come to completely suppress you and end today’s cause and effect!” Lord Divine Skill Miaoji’s majestic voice echoed through the air; it was akin to a sudden thunder, ringing in the Jade Emperor’s ears.
The clash was only a probe; it was not the time to strike, but Lord Divine Skill Miaoji needed to stand forth to express her stance, to express the stance of the Taoist School.
“Heh, it seems this great catastrophe is not as everyone anticipates; surely, there will be a Dao Lord who either perishes or gets suppressed. I must suppress a Dao Lord to establish authority, so that the Heavenly Court can truly command the Realms of Heavenly Seas, and the Emperor’s Path can thereby ascend another level!” The Jade Emperor, filled with ambition, gazed upward, cold light flickering in his eyes.
