Chapter 1893 - 1838–1839: Taoist Monarch Xuantian, The Five Emperors as Chess Pieces_2
But they forget that nowadays this era is ruled by the Taoist Monarch. To want to reign supreme like before is absolutely impossible. The current Heavenly Court’s Six Imperials can’t achieve it, and neither can these people.
Moreover, even though they are Gods, their status as Taoist Monarchs is merely through incense and sacrificial offerings, which is different from true Taoist Monarchs.
"Since that’s the case, why does Master still want to cooperate with them?" Xuan Lingzi asked somewhat puzzled.
Although Xuantian Sect is considered a descendant of the Black Emperor, countless years have passed from the Black Emperor’s era to the current era, and the bloodline between both sides has become distant through countless generations.
Furthermore, having a prestigious ancestor is one thing, but for that prestigious ancestor to suddenly emerge and start pointing fingers at one’s actions is another.
No one wishes to have a high-ranking elder criticize their actions, especially those strong individuals, who are even less inclined to accept it.
Xuan Lingzi, as the Xuantian Sect Leader and disciple of Taoist Monarch Xuantian, is a renowned figure in this world. He’s somewhat unsatisfied with the Black Emperor adopting an ancestral posture towards him.
Moreover, within the Xuantian Sect, there’s a group of old antiques who never quite accepted his succession as Sect Leader, and now they are even opposing him under the banner of the Black Emperor. If it weren’t for his Master’s disapproval, Xuan Lingzi would have long cleaned house, or at least sidelined those people.
In his view, these generations of human Rulers are indeed outstanding, but they are also too arrogant, not realizing the times, becoming more overbearing and increasingly annoying.
"Is it hard to understand why we have to cooperate with them and even agree to nominate them to ascend to the Heavenly Court in the future?" Taoist Monarch Xuantian asked with a smile.
