Chapter 1578 - 1526-1527 First Ranking Manifestation
The reason these True Immortals frowned was not due to the decisiveness of their enemy’s execution; nor did they care about a Supreme Strong’s allegiance. The definite elimination of an opponent wouldn’t make them blink.
What drew their attention wasn’t these superficial acts. For them, what did a mere Supreme Strong matter? Even if numerous Supreme Strongs died at the hands of Wan Fayi, it wouldn’t come as a surprise.
After all, with Wan Fayi’s identity and strength, he was definitely among the most powerful in the Myriad Laws trial, and his winning was not strange at all; conversely, his losing would be what shocked them.
For many True Immortals, their focus was not really on testing the strength of these True Immortals. While that might be part of their reason, it wasn’t the whole nor the least important part.
They were keener to understand the characters and behavioral styles of these True Immortal Seeds.
After all, those eligible for ascension to True Immortality would become their opponents; thus, understanding their characters and styles in advance would help them devise corresponding strategies.
Especially for someone like Wan Fayi, a strong contender and potential successor to the Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect, his way of handling things could indicate the future operational style of the entire Shenxiao Sect.
Take for instance, if under the circumstances where the Supreme Strong chose to submit, Wan Fayi accepted, it would indicate he prioritized interest; even if conflicts arose, as long as the rewards were great enough, such conflicts could be suppressed, without necessarily having to confront directly.
However, facing this opponent’s submission, he did not accept and showed no hesitation; his decisiveness indicated that he wasn’t necessarily one to prioritize interests over emotions.
This left many True Immortals somewhat uncertain; they did not fear those who prioritized interests, as they had numerous methods to deal with such people.
But for those who acted impulsively, things would become unpredictable; not knowing when the opponent could be swayed by interests or when they might completely ignore benefits and turn hostile.
If Wan Fayi were just a True Immortal, that would be one thing, but he wasn’t merely a potential Tao-Certifying True Immortal Seed; he was also a strong competitor for the Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Sect.
If Wan Fayi ultimately succeeded and became the successor to the Shenxiao Sect Leader, it wouldn’t be a favorable choice for all parties involved.
