The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 2240: Chapter 2186–2187: The Five Emperors’ Perspectives and the Taoist School’s Attitude

“Nowadays, this era is even more prosperous than ever before, with countless strong beings. Not to mention the existence of those Taoist Monarchs, just the numerous True Immortal Strong, each one of them is a figure who commands respect and reverence, seeking their approval is absolutely not easy.” The Yellow Emperor echoed the Green Emperor’s words.

As the one among the Five Emperors who truly rose through killing and subjugating countless beings of the Demon Race, the Yellow Emperor is more qualified than the others to say these words.

Back in the day, All Tribes were so proud, but compared to the current human race, they are not worth mentioning; one True Immortal is enough to subdue them.

True Immortal Strong, they are truly immortal beings of Longevity, defeating them is easy, but subduing a True Immortal is not simple.

Since the Five Emperors have stood out to contend for Heavenly Authority, it’s not just about defeating the Jade Emperor and ascending to the position of the Emperor of Heaven, continuing to be a puppet manipulated by those veteran Daoist Monarchs.

These people have always truly held authority. If they were to be sidelined, they’d rather give up such a position.

So even if they replace the Jade Emperor, they are ultimately destined to walk the same path, needing to suppress all forces to become a genuine Emperor of Heaven.

But this path is not easy to tread; those Taoist Monarchs are not simple, and the numerous True Immortals are equally complex.

The strength of the Taoist Monarchs is too overwhelming, and now is not the right time, but it is still possible to seize this opportunity to make some True Immortals realize their power and understand which side they should choose.

“I’m sure our allies are also very curious about this.” The White Emperor spoke softly, shifting the focus to their current collaborators, the Heterodox Alliance and Taoist School.

As for the Heterodox Alliance, not to mention Zhao Baiyang, a Taoist Monarch, even if there are two additional strong Demonic Way Taoist Monarchs, they are not worried.

Conversely, the strength of the Taoist School is too formidable, even though several top veteran Daoist Monarchs within the Taoist School have not expressed their stance, only Lord Divine Skill Miaoji among them has been in contact with them.

But surely these people are also very curious about how strong their capabilities are, which will determine how the other party treats them and what attitude to adopt.

Since the Taoist School has been supporting the Five Old Lords from the start, it is known that a portion of strong figures within the Taoist School aim to completely control the Heavenly Court, transforming it into the true Taoist Heavenly Court where the Taoist School stands supreme.

Despite the veteran Daoist Monarchs not directly standing out, sometimes tacit consent and no opposition are a form of support.

Now the Taoist School has abandoned the Five Old Lords and is cooperating with them; if holding such an attitude, it is not beneficial for their upcoming plans.

“But is it appropriate to reveal such cards this early?” The Black Emperor asked with a frown.

Even though they claim not to mind, it cannot be denied that their action targets not only the Jade Emperor but also several other Imperial Honors.

Without the support and help of the Taoist School, it would be quite difficult for them to defeat those Imperial Honors and their allies and seize Heavenly Authority.

After all, what the Jade Emperor wants is to genuinely control the Heavenly Court, which is also their aspiration.

For some Newly Ascended Dao Lords, they do not want to see the Jade Emperor achieve this, nor do they necessarily approve of them achieving it.

For those people, they most hope for a confrontation between them and the Jade Emperor, evenly matched, which best aligns with their interests.

If too much strength is displayed at this time, it might trigger the Taoist School’s vigilance and apprehension; whether the other party would immediately turn around to suppress them or abandon cooperation is uncertain.

“At this moment, showcasing strength for the other party to weigh the options is better than relying on their power to ascend, only to turn and clash aggressively.” The Red Emperor shook his head and said.

Certainly, directly showcasing strength now might make the Taoist School vigilant and apprehensive, but if one blindly conceals and uses the other’s strength to ascend, then backstabs, if the Taoist School strikes out of anger, both sides would inevitably be severely damaged.

Their goal is to govern a powerful human race, but it is not genuinely singular domination; it can temporarily accommodate the strength of the Taoist School.

However, using the other’s power and then betraying would not only infuriate the Taoist School but also lose trust among other parties, further complicating the situation.

The position of the Emperor of Heaven, like the former Human Race Common Master, allows for scheming and plotting but cannot be without a baseline, given that occupying that position requires maintaining at least fairness and justice to gain recognition from all parties.

If ascending is utterly disgraceful, even if one barely sits on that position, gaining true recognition is unattainable, making the title meaningless.

This is why the Jade Emperor seeks a dignified path, because relying solely on conspiracies and plots, even if one barely seizes authority, stability is elusive.

“Moreover, do you really think we can hide from them? Do not forget the terrifying power of that Longevity Taoist Monarch; it is not easy to conceal from them.” The Green Emperor said solemnly.

The Green Emperor, who created the Innate Eight Trigrams and walked the Path of Heavenly Secrets, can plan through ages, laying out schemes to this era, a truly outstanding figure.

In the presence of his Innate Eight Trigrams, the true faces of many people are exposed entirely, but of this Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing, he cannot see a trace.

Thus, the Green Emperor is particularly vigilant of this Longevity Taoist Monarch; his mystery and strength make the Green Emperor wary of taking reckless actions.
