The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 2241: Chapter 2186–2187: The Five Emperors’ Perspectives and the Taoist School’s Attitude (2)

Originally in Green Emperor’s arrangement, after they returned to this era, they could prepare their plans and reclaim their authority.

But when he truly returned, he found that the changes in this world were too great, completely different from his expectations.

Indeed, as in the original deduction, this is a flourishing era, an era where one can achieve the immortal path and eternal longevity, but the emergence of so many powerful figures in this era was beyond his predictions.

In the future he deduced and foreseen, this era should have been one where True Immortals held authority, and by relying on their own formidable foundation, once they returned to this era, they could ascend to the peak.

But what are Taoist Monarchs, and why are there existences even stronger than Taoist Monarchs? Their existence was not included in Green Emperor’s deductions.

Upon truly returning and understanding the entire development and change of the world, Green Emperor realized that from a certain moment on, the development of the Divine Continent world directly had a turning point, with enormous changes compared to the future he observed.

Was it a deviation between the world he deduced and reality, or was the existence of Taoist Monarchs itself influencing his observation of the future?

Before he certified as a Taoist Monarch, Green Emperor believed it was the former. But once he truly ascended to the Taoist Monarch realm, he grasped the strength and numerous divine abilities of Taoist Monarchs.

At this time, he increasingly felt that these deviations were driven by the existence of Taoist Monarchs themselves. They influenced everything, preventing him from seeing any future concerning Taoist Monarchs.

Perhaps other Taoist Monarchs couldn’t, but since he could deduce the future, those powerful Taoist Monarchs downstream in the river of time might well be able to retrospect the past and perceive his arrangements.

The strength of Longevity Taoist Monarch is well-known, but Green Emperor believes that the other’s power doesn’t stop there. Even during the past battle in the Chaos Void against four, that wasn’t the true strength of the Taoist Monarch.

Therefore, after returning, even though he released news externally, claiming that their Taoist Monarchs had a huge disparity compared to true Taoist Monarchs, with irreparable differences in combat power, he intended to diminish the apprehensions of many Taoist Monarchs.

But from start to finish, Green Emperor never believed his statement would be enough to deceive Longevity Taoist Monarch and these veteran Taoist Monarchs. As the ones who personally took action to lead them into this era, they are surely aware of how formidable their combat power is.

Their words were not to truly make the others believe, but an attitude, that they lacked ambition and wouldn’t affect their positions.

Of course, no one really knows what the others think. Perhaps, in the eyes of those veteran Taoist Monarchs, their attitude might be insignificant, owing to the other’s strength giving them ample insights.

No matter what, now that they have expressed their attitude, it is also an explanation to the Taoist School.

By putting everything at the forefront, letting the Taoist School weigh it themselves, rather than completely using the others and waiting for a final backstab, this would certainly provoke the Taoist School’s strong figures to turn hostile.

To say something unpleasant, they simply can’t bear such consequences.

So beforehand, communicating with the Taoist School to let the other party prepare was indeed a very good choice.

After all, with the existence of Longevity Taoist Monarch, whether the Taoist School already knew they were hiding their strength remains unknown.

“Since that’s the case, then let’s be straightforward. No matter what, we still have shared beneficial goals. Even if the Taoist School gives up, it’s better than both sides backstabbing each other.” Red Emperor also held the same view.

Sooner or later, they have to make a move. If they truly want to seize authority, the ones who ultimately defeat Jade Emperor should certainly be them, without borrowing anyone else’s hand.

If so, even if they become the ultimate victors and ascend to the peak, they’d be in an awkward position like Jade Emperor now, seen as puppets supported by the Taoist School.

Therefore, they can’t conceal their strength for too long. Actively communicating with the Taoist School now, letting the other side prepare, is indeed alright.

If they make a direct move, waiting for the Taoist School to react, it’s entirely possible for the Taoist School to be ashamed and angered, leading to turning faces.

“I’ll be responsible for conveying the message to the Taoist School. Red Emperor, you just prepare for battle. This time, it’s absolutely not allowed to fail for us.” White Emperor spoke actively.

……

After White Emperor personally visited the Taoist School and met with Lord Divine Skill Miaoji and others, and finished explaining the matter of Red Emperor accepting Jade Emperor’s challenge, Lord Divine Skill Miaoji and others suddenly understood everything.

There’s no need to clarify some things thoroughly; Lord Divine Skill Miaoji and these people, having reached this point, naturally have their wisdom.

The mention of Jade Emperor’s challenge followed by Red Emperor’s acceptance is enough to imply much.

Jade Emperor’s strength is undisputed, even if he lost against Sword Emperor’s incarnation before. At that time, Jade Emperor’s displayed strength was also top-notch among newly ascended Taoist Lords.

Moreover, at that time, Jade Emperor had only recently acquired the Great Law Decree Technique, and even if his strength improved, everyone is aware that the opponent had not truly reached the peak state.

Now, after such a long time, the opponent surely has completely mastered that Great Law Decree Technique, and the power he can exert must be even more terrifying.

The Supreme Divine Power is named so because only Taoist Monarchs can truly grasp and unleash its true might, and it provides unimaginable support to Taoist Monarchs.

In the eyes of some Taoist Monarchs, this supreme divine power, when akin to oneself, in a Taoist Monarch’s hands, the battle power boost it provides is no less than an immortal treasure at Taoist Monarch level, possibly even stronger.

Thus, even though Jade Emperor lost to Sword Emperor, no one dares underestimate him. Everyone is aware that if the opponent truly mastered the Great Law Decree Technique, he could definitely rival veteran Taoist Monarchs.

Even if he can’t compare with Sword Emperor, a veteran Taoist Monarch among the strong, he could definitely contend with other veteran Taoist Monarchs, shown from his later battle with Witch God Sect Leader.

At the time Ju Mang Ancestor Witch certified as a Taoist Monarch, Jade Emperor and Witch God Sect Leader clashed, with neither side winning completely. Despite Witch God Sect Leader suppressing Jade Emperor, it was challenging to defeat Jade Emperor.

It must be noted that the Witch God Sect Leader, mastering the Space Dao Law Authority, is an extremely formidable presence among veteran Taoist Monarchs. Yet the fact that Jade Emperor could battle equally with him is testament to Jade Emperor’s strength.

In such circumstances, Jade Emperor proposed to challenge Red Emperor, and Red Emperor didn’t deny directly but instead prepared to accept. This unquestionably proves the other side has confidence and sees an opportunity to win against such Jade Emperor.

With matters reaching this stage, if Lord Divine Skill Miaoji and others don’t see the underlying meaning, they should refrain from meddling in these affairs.

They roughly understand the actions of the Five Human Emperors then and the current intention of directly approaching.

Regarding this, Lord Divine Skill Miaoji and others aren’t dissatisfied but express understanding, as placed in the position of the Five Emperors themselves, they would also choose to hide and refrain from making noise.

Moreover, they’ve perhaps speculated about these matters in their hearts, and now being laid out with the answer comes as no surprise.

Besides the other’s attitude, it’s also because for Lord Divine Skill Miaoji, their alliance with the Five Human Emperors this time is merely due to Five Old Lords being unhelpful, seeking more benefits from Heavenly Court’s authority shift.

To say something unpleasant, they know the Taoist School is strong and understand that whoever ascends to that position will inevitably lead to conflicts of interest with the Taoist School.

Thus, concerning this matter, Lord Divine Skill Miaoji doesn’t particularly care.
