The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1845: Chapter 1790—Chapter 1791 Qing Hua and Gou Chen_2

Now an opportunity arises to witness a fierce conflict between the Witch Deity Teaching and the Taoist School; even without any promises of benefits, they would agree, not to mention that both sides have offered enough, making them more willing to sit back and watch the tigers fight.

“I originally thought the Qingling Primordial Lord was ruthless, but it turns out that the Wood Virtue Star Lord is no easy match either, as he has already colluded with the Witch Deity Teaching,” said the Great Emperor Qinghua with a smile.

“They’re all birds of a feather. It doesn’t matter who gets damaged; for us, it’s a good opportunity,” replied the Emperor Gouchen indifferently, not worrying about who wins or loses.

The Witch Deity Teaching and the Taoist School are all birds of a feather; the existence of these top immortal sects are obstacles to the Heavenly Court and opponents to these Imperial Honors.

In their minds, they’ve considered countless times to stir up conflicts among these top immortal sects, but have never found the right opportunity. Now, seeing the strong fighters under these two sides begin to clash, they naturally want to take advantage of it to fan the flames.

“But, should we add fuel to the fire?” asked Emperor Gouchen, with a glint of coldness in his eyes, tentatively.

“It’s better for the two of us to stay hidden for now. If we provoke a reaction from the other side, it would not be good,” responded the Great Emperor Qinghua, shaking his head slightly and vetoing Gouchen’s idea.

“That’s true. For now, the best approach is to act cautiously and discreetly,” agreed Emperor Gouchen, nodding.

Originally, his idea was to add fuel to the fire to make it hotter, but this Imperial Honor considered that some matters are better left alone. Although these two sides are in conflict to help their subordinates become Taoist Monarchs, if they jump out openly, it may affect the attitudes of both sides and even make them aware there is someone taking advantage of the situation, causing them to become more rational.

Moreover, more importantly, they are aware that the current situation is already chaotic, especially since the Heavenly Court has drawn attention from many strong figures due to the actions of the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei.

Even if they have thoughts, they should keep a neutral attitude right now. If it’s not necessary, it’s better not to easily express a stance.

“Let’s step back and let the Jade Emperor and Ziwei take the lead, while we remain low-key. It’s not yet time for the endgame, and keeping a low profile is the best choice,” said the Great Emperor Qinghua.

As for both the Great Emperor Qinghua and Emperor Gouchen, their goal is simple: to gain more authority, attain greater independence, and expand their sphere of influence.

There is not only one path to achieving this goal, especially after the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei have stepped forward.

Even if they have the same goals as the Jade Emperor and the Great Emperor Ziwei, it doesn’t mean they are truly on the same side; it’s not necessarily so.

Among the Six Imperials of the Heavenly Court, except for the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life and Great Emperor Houtu, the remaining four Imperial Honors can be allies or opponents.

Now that the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei have acted, they have established their momentum but also confirmed their stance. They have determined that they cannot compromise with the veteran Daoist Monarchs and have truly aligned with the newly ascended Dao Lords, making it difficult to change their stance again, nor will they be easily accepted by the veteran Daoist Monarchs.

However, the two of them are different. For now, although they have made some maneuvers and probing actions, they have not clearly opposed the veteran Daoist Monarchs, nor have they severed relations with the newly ascended Dao Lords alliance.

Although the newly ascended Dao Lords alliance and the veteran Daoist Monarchs alliance are almost openly fighting, not allowing a third-party presence, there is currently a brief peace period. Both sides haven’t truly broken face yet and are still constantly attracting allies, so like the two Imperial Honors, they still have room for maneuver.

For them, if becoming stronger means joining the newly ascended Dao Lords alliance to seize authority from the veteran Daoist Monarchs, and then holding heavenly authority themselves, they know better than the newly ascended Dao Lords how terrifying the veteran Daoist Monarchs are and how dangerous this choice is.

If there were no other options, they would naturally have to burn bridges and take a leap.

However, after the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei took action, they suddenly realized there is another option, which is to take over more Heavenly Authority and thereby gain heavenly authority.

When the two Imperial Honors, the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei, challenge the veteran Daoist Monarchs, if they succeed, they will naturally reap huge rewards. But if they fail, they will certainly not be tolerated by many veteran Daoist Monarchs.

When the Heavenly Court was established, these Imperial Honors existed to balance each other to stabilize the structure within the Heavenly Court, allowing many veteran Daoist Monarchs to continuously gain benefits.

Now that the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei have flipped the table, it would make these veteran Daoist Monarchs think that the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei need to be replaced. By forming alliances with veteran Daoist Monarchs and reaching agreements, they can completely take over and acquire the authority of the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei.

For both of them, it’s an equally enticing prospect. If they succeed, they could gain control over the Heavenly Court, whose gains might not be less than the risks of waging war against veteran Daoist Monarchs.

As long as the Heavenly Court exists, someone must govern it. Better to use the old than to use the new; they are the best replacements.

Of course, for their plans, they need to eliminate potential competitors. The existence of the Taoist School’s Five Old Lords poses a significant threat, as the saying about the Five Directions Heavenly Emperor of the Taoist School is well known.

The reason they allowed the Wood Virtue Star Lord and the Qingling Primordial Lord to duel this time is precisely because, even if the Qingling Primordial Lord succeeds, they would definitely take this opportunity to suppress the Five Old Lords and prevent them from rising.

But this is only one of their plans. Even these two Imperial Honors cannot clearly see the current heavenly situation, which is also why they hesitate and have not yet made a definite decision.

“Now everyone is constantly recruiting people, and we are undoubtedly their focus of attention. If we remain low-key, it’s okay. But if we stand out and are forced to choose a stance, it could be embarrassing,” said the Great Emperor Qinghua solemnly.

They can add fuel to the fire in secret but can’t openly instigate disputes. Doing so would undoubtedly bring trouble to themselves. Don’t think that the Witch God Sect Leader and several Taoist monarchs are easy opponents.

While they might be instigating quietly behind the scenes, if they step out, don’t think that the other side won’t use this to force them to make a choice.

“Correct, choosing a stance proactively leaves room for negotiation, but if forced into a corner, it would be an agreement at the mercy of another,” Emperor Gouchen nodded in agreement.

They will indeed make choices, but they don’t want to bet early; if someone gets the chance and both the newly ascended Dao Lords and the veteran Daoist Monarchs become dissatisfied, they can only make a choice.

However, these two are Taoist-tier strongmen. Even if they don’t step in personally, they can do many things, especially in the absence of the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei. The decrees issued by their Imperial Honors are not something that even gods not under their command would dare oppose openly. Don’t think these two Imperial Honors are incapable of killing.

If it weren’t so, why have no gods appeared in the Heavenly Court during the long duel between the Wood Virtue Star Lord and the Qingling Primordial Lord?
