From this point, it is vaguely clear that all parties have reached a tacit understanding, determined to drag the Shenxiao Lineage into the fray, forcing the Shenxiao Sect to take the lead.
This undoubtedly left Wan Fayi somewhat dissatisfied; it was indeed his own plan and initiative, and he even intended to stand out himself. This should stem from his own genuine will, not because he was propped up by others—the meanings of the two are entirely different.
Taking the initiative to stand out and assume the role of the so-called Alliance Hierarch signifies proactively carrying this heavy responsibility, an obligation that cannot be shunned.
However, if one is passively placed in this position, it's completely different—it means being a puppet, unable to grasp any initiative.
With Wan Fayi's character and style, having reached his position today, he has never been one to contently be a puppet. Since he is to stand out, he must be the true Alliance Hierarch, to effectively control the situation and truly grasp everything.
"Wait a bit longer, it's not yet time!" Wan Fayi's gaze fell on the two clashing in the sky, and he calmly stated.
Indeed, he planned to act, but this was not the right time. It was still too early, and many people had not yet made their moves.
He needed to wait a bit longer, wait for more people to jump out, then in one fell swoop, resolve it, saving time.
"Senior Brother, do you think Junior Brother Wan's plan will succeed?" Yi Shengsan asked with a playful smile to the person next to him.
"What do you think, Junior Brother Yi?" The man chuckled lightly, tossing the topic back to Yi Shengsan.
Given Yi Shengsan's status and ranking within the Shenxiao Sect, he was one of the strongest among his peers. If there were some senior brothers with True Immortal combat capabilities within the Shenxiao Sect who could outmatch him, then within the restricted Myriad Laws Realm, he was almost the highest-ranking existence in the Shenxiao Sect.
Of course, why it's almost is because among the many strong participants of the Shenxiao Sect in the Myriad Laws Realm trial, there was one extremely special existence. This person was almost considered the strongest among all the Supreme Strong of the Shenxiao Sect; even Yi Shengsan and others had to address him as Senior Brother.
However, this Senior Brother practiced the Sword Path passed down by Longevity Taoist Monarch, focusing solely on the cultivation of the sword, indifferent to all other affairs, and even the Sect Leader's position could not move his heart.
Among the numerous disciples of the Shenxiao Sect, there were various personalities, coupled with the lenient cultivation environment of the Shenxiao Sect, as long as disciples did not betray the sect, honored their teachers and valued the Tao, and were not utterly wicked, they could do whatever they wanted, with the sect imposing no demands on them.
The principle of the Shenxiao Sect was always fair; the sect would provide the most basic cultivation resources. If you wanted more, you needed to give more, and if you did not need more nurturing from the sect, then the sect also would not impose any additional responsibilities upon you.
Thus, even among so many disciples within the Shenxiao Sect, there were inevitably a few who wholeheartedly cultivated and disregarded external disturbances.
The man before them, referred to as Senior Brother by Yi Shengsan, was an extremely special existence in the Shenxiao Sect. The individual did not cultivate any divine power skill of the Shenxiao Sect but inherited the Sword Path from Longevity Taoist Monarch, possessing profound accomplishments in it.
Although he seldom roamed between heaven and earth, only the strong in the Shenxiao Sect knew just how powerful this sword-obsessed Senior Brother truly was, already standing at the Peak Level.
And this Senior Brother didn't care about the position of Sect Leader; if it weren't for Ancestral Master Yu Zhenzi's request, he probably wouldn't have participated in this trial, because this had no significance to him, he simply did not need the Fortuitous Opportunities here, as his path to become a Tao-Certifying True Immortal had already been found.
This time his arrival within the Myriad Laws Realm was ultimately to safeguard and escort the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect. This was the real trump card of the Shenxiao Sect, their true reliance.
Indeed, in terms of talent, he was only a True Immortal Seed, not matching up to the so-called Taoist Monarch demeanor of Little Thunder God and Little Heavenly Master.
But talent also requires a process to manifest; geniuses also need to grow, and an un-grown genius is essentially meaningless.
Even if these people possess exceptional talents now, without transforming those talents into combat power, they hold no value and still cannot defeat this individual in the Myriad Laws Realm.
Talent only determines the height you can reach in the future; combat power is reality. If you cannot transform talent into combat power, even the stature of a Taoist Monarch would need to momentarily yield.
"Junior Brother Wan's plan will definitely succeed!" Yi Shengsan spoke with a firm tone.
"But, the final person overseeing this plan might not necessarily be Junior Brother Wan, right?" This senior brother chuckled, as if he had seen through Yi Shengsan's thoughts.
Focusing solely on Sword Path and disregarding external matters does not mean he is ignorant of everything; on the contrary, it means he understands everything.
Especially since he practices the Sword Path and has attained the Sword Heart Clarity realm, his mind is so pure from not dwelling on other matters, allowing him to easily penetrate many issues.
Just like the current situation may appear chaotic and clueless to the average person, but for him, it poses no hindrance and is as clear as observing fire.
What Yi Shengsan meant was not that Wan Fayi would definitely succeed, but rather that this plan itself would.
However, this plan for the Shenxiao Sect, whether Wan Fayi or Yi Shengsan becomes the overseer, represents the interests of the Shenxiao Sect, meaning if Wan Fayi fails, Yi Shengsan will take action.
Such an attitude and speech also adequately show the opponent's domineering confidence, which is what those from top Immortal Sects possess, unlike common Independent Practitioners and ordinary Immortal Sect strong practitioners.
On the path of cultivation, among those of equal aptitude, those with unyielding minds and strong willpower usually have a higher chance of success because sometimes what's lacking is precisely this kind of confidence.
In this universe, as the topmost Immortal Sect, the disciples of Shenxiao Sect never lack confidence; they never think of evading when facing difficulties, instead, they possess a dominating air of 'who but me could handle this'!
"Junior Brother Wan might be quite displeased to hear this," he said with a light laugh.
Yi Shengsan's words came off as domineering, yet they seemingly preordained Wan Fayi's failure, which would obviously not please Wan Fayi.
"Junior Brother Wan won't mind!" Yi Shengsan chuckled and shook his head.
Although he and Wan Fayi couldn't see eye to eye, there existed a certain tacit understanding between them. Such disregard would typically anger others, but not Wan Fayi.
If Wan Fayi's plan succeeds this time, it would mean that all Yi Shengsan said was nonsense, and there would be no reason for him to be upset.
If he fails, then all blame will instantly come crushing down, and compared to those criticisms, Yi Shengsan's words would hardly count for anything; he wouldn't even bother getting upset.
I nodded without saying any more, seemingly endorsing Yi Shengsan's words, and also understanding this point.
"Do you know what he plans to do next?" After a moment of silence, the senior brother curiously asked Wan Fayi.
To others, the current battle of the powerhouses in the sky above is a rare occurrence, and they might want nothing more than to carefully watch, but for him, these are inconsequential matters.
With his current realm and strength, unless it's a battle between absolute Supreme Strong levels beyond the four-star, engagement with any lower-level powerhouse holds no meaning for his cultivation and offers him no help.
