Chapter 1621: Chapters 1568-1569 What Can a True Immortal Do to Me? _2

And indeed, as he had anticipated, upon receiving the news, King Jing began to make moves against Yu Yiyao, ultimately igniting her fury and triggering the battle between them.

“Don’t you worry about the elder sister coming after you?” Yi Shengsan’s mouth twisted into a cold smirk, his suspicions confirmed that this fellow would never idle.

“What does it have to do with me? Everything was King Jing’s own idea, I never interfered from beginning to end.” Wan Fayi said, utterly unconcerned.

Not a trace was left of his actions or, to put it differently, those clues didn’t count for much. The other party sought trouble with the Heterodox Alliance based on their own absolute interests, not because of his instigation.

At this stage, those who are powerful act solely based on their internal decisions, unrelated to others, and no one can truly force them to do anything.

Even if Yu Yiyao knew what he had done, she would be helpless, and even if placed before a True Immortal, the True Immortals would have no reason to trouble him.

An undisputed open scheme, that’s what describes a person like Wan Fayi; his actions are all about guidance, never truly imposing through his own person. These decisions are purely the implementer’s own thoughts – without such thoughts, even if guided by hints, they wouldn’t be able to do anything.

“Wan Fayi’s way of handling matters truly has some vibes of a Taoist Monarch!” Zhao Baiyang said with a sneer, scoffing aloud.

With the entirety of the Myriad Laws Realm within his sight, even though Zhao Baiyang hadn’t heard the words spoken by Wan Fayi, how could he not see the appearance of his involvement behind the scenes?

Moreover, for a strong being like him, a speculation suffices to conclude the answer; there’s no need for clues or evidence.

But even knowing that Wan Fayi had intervened, what could be done about it? Not to mention that he’s a disciple of Shenxiao Lineage, a True Immortal Seed favored by many True Immortals in the Shenxiao Sect.

It’s commonplace in the trials of the Myriad Laws Realm to strategize, and no one stipulates that only disciples from the Heterodox Alliance can plot against others, and not be plotted against.

It’s merely a squabble among the younger generation; being outmaneuvered merely shows that one’s own disciples are underperforming.

If face must be regained, it should be done by the younger ones themselves; for him, as a Sect Leader, to act would truly be bullying the weak.

Although Zhao Baiyang had no intention of intervening, there was no doubt that his appraisal of Wan Fayi did indeed garner the acknowledgment of many True Immortals, especially those experienced alongside the rise of Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing.

“The open scheme of the righteous path, motivated by interests, seemingly giving you many choices but so long as ambition and desire dwell in your heart, you will inevitably be driven by it. It’s an insoluble strategy.” said a True Immortal Strong, as if recalling an old situation.

Initially, the rise of that Taoist Monarch from isolation to gradually using interests as bait, binding them all to his chariot, compelled to follow his goals tirelessly, was remarkable.

Such methods seemed ordinary, yet were profoundly terrifying upon reflection because, despite clearly knowing these were his maneuvers, they indulged them willingly.

“Hehe, isn’t the Taoist Monarch’s interest also your interest? Indeed, it is the Taoist Monarch’s stratagem, but which of you hasn’t gained from it? Without his planning, how could you have the chance to become Tao-Certifying True Immortals? You’d be nothing but dry bones in your graves by now,” said a True Immortal Strong disdainfully.

Regarding the existence of Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing, the attitudes among True Immortals vary; some see his presence as an indelible shadow, a dark cloud pressing over their heads that cannot be dissipated. However, others believe that the existence of Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing is a beacon for their progress, a lighthouse guiding them on the path of cultivation.

Many hold Longevity Taoist Monarch in the highest esteem, believing that their current status is due to his guidance; without him, they would not be where they are today. Thus, even knowing it is an Open Scheme, they willingly participate for their own benefit.

“Indeed, what’s wrong with such a strong figure? At least we won’t be abandoned after being used. If it were someone selfishly motivated, then we would truly be working for nothing,” some strong figures echoed in agreement.

They see no issue with Wan Fayi’s style resembling that of Longevity Taoist Monarch, but rather deem it the most appropriate choice, with such a person assuming the position of Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect being a fine selection.

The Shenxiao Sect is a tremendous force in both the Divine Land World and the entire Chaos Void; their every move inevitably influences the shifting patterns across all Heavens. Having someone like Wan Fayi succeed the position is acceptable.

However, if it were someone ruthless and self-serving in that position, it would not be good for all parties involved and could potentially introduce instability.

“It seems the first round of trials is about to end,” a strong figure remarked upon observing the current situation in the Myriad Laws Realm.

Originally, the idea was that numerous strong figures entered to compete for the final hundred thousand places without a set duration for the trial by the Taoist Monarch, inevitably leading to a prolonged period.

Even if these strong figures would gather and evolve into conflicts among various forces, it would take time to develop, typically measured in years.

After all, even for these Supreme Strong, possessing nearly ten thousand years of lifespan, spending decades or even hundreds of years in seclusion is nothing unusual, let alone a trial that might change their fate.

In the Myriad Laws Realm, countless fortuitous opportunities exist; even without competing for the final places, seizing the opportunity might allow them to soar to great heights without partaking in the final trial.

Thus, many initially focus on seeking such opportunities instead of hastily hunting for opponents to plunder points.

However, this was the situation before; when Wan Fayi revealed the location of the Great Law Decree Technique, it meant accelerating the process, forcing all factions, willing or not, to start gathering earlier unless they wished to face being attacked by others.

The Myriad Laws Realm is inherently complex with interwoven factions; nothing progresses solely by individual will, leading to many unexpected occurrences.

Moreover, given the competitive state among factions, no one can fully trust each other, especially in a cruel trial like this where talking about trust seems overindulgent. Thus, everyone is cautious about gathering, hesitant to create a situation where they might be outnumbered and eliminated.

Yu Yiyao feels this concern, as do other strong figures from various factions; no one dares to take that risk. At such a time, every strong figure prefers to keep the initiative in their own hands.

“It’s better this way; it saves time here. All strong figures from every faction have revealed themselves, and only those who survive in fierce competition are truly strong. If everything went as planned, real mettle wouldn’t be tested,” a strong figure expressed satisfaction with the current circumstances, finding the situation rather dull and uninteresting.

Currently, the strong figures in the trial of the Myriad Laws Realm are still considered too weak in the eyes of many True Immortals; the intensity is not sufficient, unable to reflect their true level, necessitating an increase in intensity to truly gauge the caliber of these True Immortal Seeds.
