The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 1865: Chapters 1810–1811: Trouble_2

In their view, the primary goal within the Myriad Laws Realm this time is to compete for the Supreme Divine Power, while incidentally plundering some resources from within the realm. Under the current circumstances, it stands to reason that restraint should be maintained, so why has it become so intense.

“Indeed, at the beginning, all parties maintained rationality since everyone understands that the events in the Myriad Laws Realm are just a rehearsal, mainly to build alliances and identify enemies.” Zhao Baiyang slowly said.

Initially, everyone had clear objectives: to seek the Supreme Divine Power, plunder resources, and find ways to enhance their strength.

This was the most appropriate and fitting course of action, especially as the great battles among several Taoist Monarchs, including the Jade Emperor and Taoist Monarch Tianji, persisted; they all understood what would follow.

However, where there are people, there will be conflicts. Not to mention, the scramble for Supreme Divine Power was inherently a battleground for all True Immortals. Even without the allure of Supreme Divine Power, putting these True Immortals together in one world would inevitably rekindle their original grievances and conflicts.

In the expansion of the Heavenly Court in the Divine Continent, apart from these Taoist Monarchs, these True Immortals are the ones who gained the most resources. Even in the Heavenly Court’s Expansion Plan, numerous conflicts arose among them.

Previously, due to the suppression of the Heavenly Court and the obstruction of many Taoist Monarchs, these True Immortals, even with certain grudges and grievances, largely managed to keep them under control, deliberately avoiding each other, unless absolutely necessary.

But this time, with everyone gathered in the Myriad Laws Realm, even if initially peaceful, once conflicts arise, even if restraint was maintained at first, once True Fire was sparked and reality was mixed with reality, it was not at all unexpected but rather inevitable.

Moreover, even if the parties involved in the conflict exercised restraint, it couldn’t prevent some others from fomenting discord on the sidelines.

It’s important to note that not all the strong are here in the Myriad Laws Realm to compete for the Supreme Divine Power; some are here to showcase their value while suppressing their competitors.

These individuals are essentially waiting for chaos, even stirring things up behind the scenes, inciting enmities between their enemies and others.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, or at least an accomplice for cooperation, serving as temporary allies.

There are also those who deliberately hold others back, like Zhao Baiyang whose goal upon entering the Myriad Laws Realm was to reap benefits if possible, but if nothing else, he would prevent his foes from gaining much, or even ensure their losses for the best outcome.

Thus, when the Purgatory Demon Monarch and the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch engaged in battle, and he noticed the Fearless Venerate from the Buddhism School trying to reap the spoils of war, Zhao Baiyang decisively took action, offering the opponent no opportunity.

If only one or two people acted with such intentions, it might not matter much, nor stir large waves, but if many sought to thwart plans?

Moreover, human hearts are fickle; some True Immortals might initially seek the Supreme Divine Power or other gains, but if they fail or get hindered, with their mindset, they’re bound to seek revenge.

Having enemies naturally means having friends, and when one suffers, they naturally seek out friends, rallying them to regain their ground.

As word spreads, with people calling upon friends and sect-mates, fighting in groups of three or five, it’s like a spark igniting a whole tinder heap, making it unsurprising that factions band together in large brawls.

“Haha, it seems you played a significant role in this.” Xue Wuheng smiled at Zhao Baiyang.

Upon hearing about the internal strife in the Demonic Gate, with the Purgatory Demon Monarch and the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch in fierce confrontation, he was quite pleased.

The Hell Demon Sect had considerable grudges with the Demonic Cult in the past, although later, Xue Wuheng had joined the Heterodox Alliance and with Longevity Taoist Monarch’s mediation, the matter was temporarily resolved.

However, for a figure like Xue Wuheng, he felt he had greatly suffered and had long been looking for a chance to exact revenge.

Yet, the Hell Demon Sect was not weak, and even the powerful Heterodox Alliance was uncertain against the Purgatory Demon Monarch. Hence, they had to endure for now, but this vengeance was one he had to take.

Now hearing these two factions were at each other’s throats, he thought perhaps he could talk with the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch, or even find other enemies of the Purgatory Demon Monarch, to form a loose alliance, far better than fighting alone.

Although Zhao Baiyang mentioned many had ulterior motives, people like him who knew each other’s nature well were aware of Zhao Baiyang’s inclination for sowing discord, a method he was quite adept at.

“This strike against the Fearless Venerate from the Buddhism School is indeed good news. It’s just a pity no one from the Buddhism School fell. It would have been even better if they had become enemies with someone.” The Vajra Sect Leader was naturally pleased to hear of Zhao Baiyang’s fight with the Fearless Venerate, but felt regretful upon hearing the Buddhism School suffered no significant loss.

The relationship between the Heterodox Alliance and the Buddhism School was not good. Apart from Zhao Baiyang who had path contest conflicts with the Buddhism School, there was also the unusual Vajra Sect Leader.

Some strong figures in the Buddhism School viewed the Vajra Sect’s legacy as a branch of their own lineage. They had once attempted to divide the Heterodox Alliance, investing heavily to entice the Vajra Sect Leader back to the Buddhism School.

To their surprise, the Vajra Sect Leader took the benefits and turned his back on them, causing the Buddhism School significant losses, longing to eliminate him quickly.

“Heh, the Buddhism School is mighty, threatened only by the Taoist School and the Demonic Cult. However, even internally the Demonic Cult can’t unite, so avoiding internal strife is already fortunate. As for the Taoist School, even if they unite later, they certainly wouldn’t choose to face off with the Buddhism School at this moment.” Zhao Baiyang sneered.

He was ambivalent about Xue Wuheng’s statement, as that was indeed what he did.

As for the Vajra Sect Leader’s regrets, he wasn’t surprised at all. The power of the Buddhism School was inherently strong, and weakening it was not easy.

While they spoke, Yu Yiyao’s voice came through.

“Master, something has happened!”

Yu Yiyao appeared before the leaders of the Heterodox Alliance, her expression serious, as if something important had occurred, inevitably drawing the attention of these few individuals.

During this Myriad Laws Realm trial, although Yu Yiyao hadn’t dominated The Heroes, her exceptional strength earned her a notable rank, bringing fame to the Heterodox Alliance.

In a large immortal sect, it’s true newcomers who grow too strong too quickly could lead to insufficient resources and interest distribution, bringing internal conflict risks.

However, for an immortal sect to continually grow stronger, excellent and outstanding disciples must consistently emerge, demonstrating their strength and orderly inheritance.

As a newly emerged large immortal sect, Zhao Baiyang and his peers had developed the Heterodox Alliance to its current scale, fully demonstrating their formidable abilities, gaining recognition from various forces; otherwise, they couldn’t have gathered so much power.

Yet for the true prosperity of the Heterodox Alliance, besides these few, excellent disciples must arise to prove that the Heterodox Alliance’s development is healthy, with successors continuing forward.

So in this Myriad Laws Realm trial, Yu Yiyao, Cangyang, and many other disciples’ outstanding performances signaled to others that the Heterodox Alliance wasn’t a rootless entity or a fleeting bloom, as they also had excellent successors.
