Chapter 1969 - 1914–1915: Zhenwu’s Tao Certifying, Jade Emperor’s Aid (Part 2)
It’s erroneous to imitate others just because their Realm has reached Tao Certifying, while one’s own has not, resulting in a loss of self.
Pang Hong, having regained his composure, heard Yu Zhenzi mention the cooperation between the two and said: "If the authority struggle between Fire Virtue Star Lord and Great Emperor Ziwei had room for compromise before, with a game of selective responsiveness, one could still mobilize the stars without fully controlling them. Now, there’s no room for compromise between the two sides."
"Fire Virtue Star Lord and Da Xue Country Lord have been old rivals, their competition never ceased over the years. The original conflict between Great Emperor Ziwei and Fire Virtue Star Lord was already like water and fire, now with Da Xue Country Lord added, it truly escalates matters."
Yu Zhenzi remarked faintly, her tone full of anticipation for drama: "Of course, these are just our thoughts. Perhaps Great Emperor Ziwei never intended to compromise and must bring down Fire Virtue Star Lord? After all, to compromise while enduring grievances required concessions, now standing against Taoist Monarch Tianji, compromising again would render the prior confrontation futile!"
"Thus, it’s not surprising that the two sides are fighting now; it’s what one would expect. If I were in Fire Virtue Star Lord’s position, I definitely wouldn’t tolerate it," Pang Hong said coldly.
After saying this, Pang Hong turned his gaze to Pei Xuanjing and asked: "While Da Xue Country Lord and Great Emperor Ziwei collaborating isn’t surprising, True Martial Master bringing together with them is puzzling. Did True Martial Master ever reach out to you, Master?"
Some cultivators of Da Xue Divine Dynasty and Shenxiao Sect may have had slight connections, but due to Da Xue Country Lord’s actions, any connections were completely depleted, and before the War of Sealing Gods, they were practically strangers.
Over the years, Da Xue Divine Dynasty and Shenxiao Sect have had no special interactions, at most some normal transactions.
Hence, Da Xue Country Lord choosing to lean towards Great Emperor Ziwei and seeking his support when attempting Tao Certifying is normal, Pang Hong wasn’t surprised, and it was more surprising if he approached Pei Xuanjing.
On the contrary, True Martial Emperor shared a significant relationship with their master. The former Taoist Alliance, seizing worldly authority, and the subsequent True Martial Sect replacing deities with men were all completed with his support.
