Regarding this matter, the Fate Controller Star Lord was well aware, as was Pei Xuanjing; thus, he believed the Fate Controller Star Lord would not ask for help.

...

The first round of the Myriad Laws Realm trials has ended, and although the forces of various immortal sects eliminated all the strong under the Jade Emperor and the Great Emperor Ziwei.

However, due to many twists and turns that occurred, the strategies of the various top immortal sects ultimately failed, allowing the Great Law Decree Technique and Great Star Technique to fall into the hands of those two Imperial Honors. This triggered a battle amongst the Taoist Monarchs, plunging the entire order of heaven and earth into chaos.

All these events were unknown to the many supreme strong participants of the trial until after the first round had concluded, leaving them dumbfounded.

Even though they were aware that the dissemination of these two Supreme Divine Powers would allow the Jade Emperor to break free from his shackles, with significant impacts on the cosmic order, they could not have anticipated a battle amongst the Taoist Monarchs would erupt so swiftly.

They are merely a group yet to certify their Tao as True Immortals, and even though many among them possess combat strength comparable to that of True Immortals, called True Immortal Seeds or bearing the stature of Taoist Monarchs, they have ultimately not yet stepped onto the Immortal Path.

Let alone the clashes between Taoist Monarchs, even the fights amongst True Immortals are rare for them to witness, or rather, to be involved in.

Combat strength comparable to that of True Immortals; what they can engage with are just beings from the True Immortal First Layer Heaven. If faced with an encounter in the True Immortal Second Layer Heaven, they would have to step aside to avoid the edge.

If they were to encounter fighters from the True Immortal Fourth Layer Heaven, they would not dare to approach; not to mention engaging in combat, even the terrifying aftershocks could result in their death and fall.

Clashes between Taoist Monarchs are rare to begin with, and they could not even conceive the kind of signs such mighty confrontations would produce, let alone describe them.

Now, having heard that it was their plan that failed, which led to the spread of the Great Law Decree Technique and Great Star Technique, thereby causing the battle amongst the Taoist Monarch powerhouses, they were immensely shocked.

Of course, amidst the shock, some supreme strong ones harbored endless doubts in their hearts, wondering if everything in the Myriad Laws Realm was under the control of the Lord Sheng, and whether the Jade Emperor's men sending out these two Supreme Divine Powers implied some kind of scheme from the Taoist Monarch.

It must be said that no one is a fool; after receiving this news, they instinctively began to harbor suspicions similar to those previously held by the True Immortals.

However, unlike those True Immortals who dared to discuss it amongst themselves, for these supreme strong beings, such thoughts merely flitted through their minds. Let alone an actual discussion, they didn't even dare to dwell on it for long.

Pei Xuanjing did not make an appearance; it was all handled by Yu Zhenzi in greeting these people.

With Yu Zhenzi's astuteness, he naturally understood the thoughts in these supreme strong ones' hearts. He immediately spoke up to interrupt their thoughts, shifting their focus to prevent them from delving deeper into this matter, which was meaningless for them.

He did not doubt their intelligence, but with so many people, if any impulsive one failed to hold their tongue and spoke out about this issue, it would brew a significant disaster.

Even if the Taoist Monarch doesn't care about this matter, as a member of the Shenxiao Sect, Yu Zhenzi naturally had a duty to safeguard everything regarding the Taoist Monarch, and also to spare these youngsters some trouble.

"The first round of trials has ended, and your rankings are set. You will now enter a world opened by a Taoist Monarch, where you can recuperate for a while and prepare for the second round of trials. Of course, the subsequent third round will also take place within this world. I wish you good luck," said Yu Zhenzi with a smile.

Although this time the plan of Wan Fayi went awry, and they failed to truly stop the schemes of the Jade Emperor and Great Emperor Ziwei, they couldn't blame the other side, as even they, the True Immortals, and many Taoist Monarchs didn't foresee the betrayal of Great Emperor Ziwei.

```

The Shenxiao Sect makes its punishment clear; they do not coddle their own disciples. Yet, there's also no need to shift blame onto their own disciples after an incident, allowing them to take the fall on the sect's behalf.

Wan Fayi is indeed outstanding, but even with his capabilities, it's unlikely he would take into account strategies at the level of a Taoist Monarch's Imperial Honors. For Wan Fayi, the joint stance of Great Emperor Ziwei and the Jade Emperor is a dimension-reducing blow, so being caught off guard would be normal.

Moreover, even though the plan failed, Wan Fayi's final performance was exceptional, particularly on the Thousand Divine Mountain. Bolstered by the array, he slew and suppressed numerous opponents, amassed the highest score, and seized the top spot in the first round of trials, which already earned quite a lot of face for the Shenxiao Lineage.

Originally, based on Yu Zhenzi's intercession, Pei Xuanjing said that as long as the other party could stand out in this trial, letting him succeed as Sect Leader was also acceptable.

The first round's victory would typically warrant an extra reward, but due to the plan being too rough and not thoroughly considered, a minor punishment—instead of an additional reward—was deemed sufficient. However, the opportunity to partake in the trials was still preserved.

If Wan Fayi truly excels in the upcoming second and third rounds of trials, then he will inevitably become a True Immortal and also take over as the leader of the Shenxiao Sect.

Wan Fayi was unaware of these matters, but he could likely guess based on the attitude of Ancestral Master Yu Zhenzi, and so would the other competitors within the Shenxiao Sect.

For those competitors, this was all acceptable. Even though Wan Fayi had some oversights in the first round of the trials, his overall performance was outstanding, unquestionably outshining them, and they were not the kind to be poor losers.

However, the trials were not yet over; this was just the beginning. They still had chances, as long as they could perform exceptionally in the next two rounds, there remained the possibility of surpassing him.

This was the thought of many in the Shenxiao Sect. As for the other participants, especially those who had advanced from the first round of trials, they were more concerned with another matter mentioned by Yu Zhenzi.

"A world opened up by a Taoist Monarch?" Supreme Strong individuals revealed divine light in their eyes.

They had originally thought the second and third rounds would continue in the Myriad Laws Realm, but unexpectedly, the venue had changed.

"A newly opened world, you say?" Some powerful beings sought confirmation again.

Switching to a new world and entering a newly opened world are entirely different matters.

A new world might simply mean a change of location without any implications. But a newly opened world could be a rare opportunity.

A newly opened world might not have developed a civilization with a system of cultivation as complex as the Myriad Laws Realm, providing little reference in that respect.

Yet, a newly opened world signifies that the Laws are without masters, suggesting no suppression, and it allows for the perception of the Original Source of Heaven and Earth at the dawn of creation, which is a very rare chance for these individuals.

The temptation of a newly opened world is unimaginable; it is a place even True Immortals would envy and long for. At the dawn of creation, the Laws manifest in the world, and authority has no master, signifying endless opportunities.

Yet, in the vast Chaos Void and the Realms of Heavenly Seas, countless worlds exist, and in tens of thousands of years, there have been fewer than five such openings, with only two being truly suitable for True Immortals. The other few worlds were too low in grade to contain True Immortals, but even so, many True Immortals descended in incarnations to vie for opportunities with the Supreme Strong.

For the many Supreme Beings, unless they come from a top Immortal Sect or a large sect with powerful backers, they would never have such opportunities.

And even so, if they enter a newly opened world alongside True Immortals, they cannot comprehend as quickly as the True Immortals, and often, the opportunities they get are less than those of the True Immortals.
