Chapter 1688 - 1634— - 16035: Just an Incarnation
Emperor Wenchang’s wisdom is extraordinary; how could he possibly not detect the hidden meanings in Taoist Monarch Xuantian’s words.
In the confrontation between these two, even now as the Jade Emperor is on the losing side, it is not absolute suppression; the Jade Emperor is not devoid of the power to counterattack.
Even if the Sword Emperor wins this time, it’s actually as expected; after all, as one of the top ten veteran Dao Lords of the age, defeating the Jade Emperor is hardly a notable event.
The plans of the Newly Ascended Dao Lords have never been about confronting the veteran Dao Lords with individual strength; for if their personal might was comparable to the veterans, they wouldn’t have waited until today.
As for the dispute between the two sides, it is nothing more than the veteran Dao Lords refusing to share the authority they hold, wanting to monopolize everything.
However, for the Newly Ascended Dao Lords, even if their strength is presently insufficient, as time goes on and more True Immortals advance to Dao Lords, their power will be in a constant state of expansion, thus their plans hold absolute potential for realization.
This is the most honorable and overt Open Scheme; unless the veteran Dao Lords are willing to share some of their authority, this is an unsolvable problem. They simply cannot resolve it and can only watch as the power of the Newly Ascended Dao Lord Alliance continues to grow.
Just like now, with the addition of the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei, the power of the entire Newly Ascended Dao Lord Alliance has reached a new peak, unprecedented in strength.
Particularly at this moment, as Taoist Monarch Tianji clashes with Great Emperor Ziwei, and the Sword Emperor with the Jade Emperor, although these two Imperial Honors are showing signs of defeat, seeming to be on the verge of failure, this has not dampened the morale of the Newly Ascended Dao Lords. On the contrary, it is inspiring their will to fight.
It should be noted that compared to before, these Newly Ascended Dao Lords have not been without engagements against the veteran Dao Lords. But without a doubt, all of us have suffered humiliating defeats; not to mention reaching a momentary stalemate, even managing to last a few more rounds is rare.
At this moment, as they watch the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei make their moves, they are measuring their own combat strength and comparing it to that of the veteran Dao Lords. They realize that their own progress over the years has been faster than that of the veterans.
The Immortal Path is arduous; all Dao Lords advance in solitary exploration, and each step forward is extremely difficult, especially at higher levels, where this holds truer.
Veteran Dao Lords, in comparison to the Newly Ascended Dao Lords, possess ample authority, hold the advantage of time, and have traveled further, yet they also face greater obstacles. Especially at this final juncture, time does not allow them to make much progress. Without breaking through their own bottlenecks, they simply cannot advance further, thus giving the Newly Ascended Dao Lords the opportunity to chase after their silhouettes.
