The establishment of a powerful Divine Dynasty is even more challenging than the establishment of a large immortal sect. Nowadays, none of the Divine Dynasties in this world have ruled without deriving from ancient countries, yet none of the Divine Dynasty Lords cultivate the Emperor's Path.

The reason they do not cultivate the Emperor's Path isn't because they are unaware of its power, but because of its difficulties and the many fears it invokes.

Even if someone establishes a powerful Divine Dynasty and becomes a True Immortal, continuing to advance becomes even harder, as the development of a Divine Dynasty differs from that of a Religious Sect or a Sect, facing joint restrictions from various parties.

And trying to switch paths and join the Heavenly Court is difficult because all the suitable positions are occupied by others.

Not to mention that in recent years, even those who successfully established a Divine Dynasty ended up, despite joining the Heavenly Court and obtaining a corresponding Divine Position, being placed in a position like Residual Number Emperors.

This is already the fate of those with a background and support. Those without a background can easily see their Divine Dynasty destroyed and lose their path upon establishing a Divine Dynasty and becoming True Immortals.

After all, it is clear to everyone that competing with the Jade Emperor is a losing battle. When one hasn't proven as a True Immortal, the Jade Emperor cannot act, but proving as a True Immortal without backing would only lead to death.

It is known that True Immortals of other paths, even Independent Practitioners, can change allegiances and seek protection from a power.

But for those on the Emperor's Path, the examples of the Jade Emperor and Longevity Taoist Monarch make it clear these emperors are inherently rebellious and unyielding. Who would invest in a doomed endeavor?

Even with the past support of the Longevity Taoist Monarch for the Jade Emperor, it was evident to powerful figures, but in the end, the Jade Emperor did not hesitate when it was time to turn against the Longevity Taoist Monarch.

Even the Jade Emperor acted this way, so how could later emperors willingly submit? Could anyone offer more than the Longevity Taoist Monarch did to the Jade Emperor?

Not to mention a position among the Six Imperials of the Heavenly Court Masters. Who can offer that?

The Longevity Taoist Monarch, with his vast estate, is indifferent to this because other Taoist Monarchs have their disciples to protect. They have resources for their disciples, and letting it go to others only to be betrayed is not a comfortable situation.

One must admit even the Jade Emperor didn't realize that his actions attracted some notoriety. By chance, they reduced a significant number of competitors for himself.

Moreover, the recent fallout between Great Emperor Ziwei and Taoist Monarch Tianji caused many Taoist Monarchs to deeply resent cultivators of the Emperor's Path.

It's essential to know that the path of stars that Great Emperor Ziwei follows is not unrelated to the Emperor's Path.

The direct disciple trained by the Sky Mechanism Pavilion eventually turned against them, just as did the Jade Emperor and the Longevity Taoist Monarch before.

Although there are many secrets and complicated interests involved, impossible to explain in a few words, everyone only believes what they see, and no one will delve deeply.

Furthermore, Taoist Monarchs are practical. If there is no issue, it is fine, but since there is such significant risk, they are naturally unwilling to gamble, especially since better options are available.

It can be said that after the Jade Emperor dug a pit for the Emperor's Path, Great Emperor Ziwei and several other Imperials piled on more dirt, thoroughly blocking the path for later practitioners, effectively burying Emperor's Great Path cultivators.

They themselves are not worried, but the newly ascended Dao Lords are concerned. After all, no one can eliminate threats as they can, so they cannot wait any longer.

Of course, these are considerations at the Taoist Monarch level. For now, for the Qingling Primordial Lord, the Wood Virtue Star Lord, and the Ju Mang Ancestor Witch, their considerations are much simpler - how to prove as Taoist Monarchs.

Acquiring more shares of the Dao Origin is something one can consider after achieving Taoist Monarch, currently far beyond their grasp.

However, without distant worries comes immediate concerns. If proving as Taoist Monarch is very difficult, then proving as Taoist Monarch becomes the urgent matter.

Yet, if they can take a leap and gain more shares of the Dao Origin, they do not mind taking a risky chance.

"The shares we three currently hold are actually about the same, with little difference. Whoever among us gains more authority among us can use it to prove Taoist Monarch." Qingling Primordial Lord had a calculating glint in his eyes, pondering.

It is said that the one who knows you best is always your opponent. Only your enemies would spend countless thoughts and efforts to understand your background and know all your cards.

Undoubtedly, there is a path contest between him, the Wood Virtue Star Lord, and the Ju Mang Ancestor Witch. As strong practitioners on the same Great Path of Wood, they recognize each other as their greatest opponents in proving as Taoist Monarchs.

To date, no Taoist Monarch has been certified on the Great Path of Wood. Some Taoist Monarchs may have some wood authority, but it is not core.

It can be said that they are the three strongest holding the most shares of the Origin of Wood Dao, forming a three-legged stance, unable to overpower one another for now.

Currently, the wood authority Qingling Primordial Lord holds and his comprehension of Wood Dao Laws amount to about eight percent of the Origin of Wood Dao shares. The other two likely hold similar shares.

Together, the three of them hold over twenty percent of the Wood Dao shares, potentially enough to create two Wood Dao Taoist Monarchs, given one is willing to sacrifice.

However, who would choose to sacrifice themselves for others? Especially since even if one side wanted to sacrifice for two, the remaining two would not allow it.

Of course, they are not saying that one cannot abandon Wood Dao Authority, but they do not mean to divide the authority – rather, they aim to gain all authority.

Because there are uncertainties, since their shares of the Origin of Wood Dao are counted from a combination of their wood enlightenment and wood authority.

This Wood Dao Authority can be transferred, but the comprehension of the Great Path of Wood is innate and can only be abandoned, not transferred to another.

Cultivation comprehension is inherently personal. Even if taught to someone else, they need their own understanding to absorb it, rather than it being a direct transfer.

This is why, unless a Taoist Monarch has certified and occupied all their shares of the Dao Origin, even without new Taoist Monarchs, as long as strong practitioners in this Dao exist, the Dao Origin will naturally induce and obtain a portion of shares.

In essence, cultivation is about comprehending the Heavenly Dao. As long as this Dao manifests in the world and is not thoroughly occupied, people will observe the workings of heaven and earth, comprehending their own Dao, which no one can change.

But this is only foundational, with shares being negligible, and many overlapping, with not all being absorbable.

What's more, some Wood Dao Authority, and comprehension may not solely reside in beings but also coalesce in powerful Divine weapon treasures, Magical Treasures, and Immortal Artifacts.

Divine objects possess spirit, and the birth of those Divine weapon treasures and Immortal Artifacts with their mighty power and wondrous mysteries is because they also serve as mediums to the truths of heaven and earth, otherwise where do those mysteries come from?

Most importantly, all things possess spirit; beings can cultivate and embark on various paths because they carry traces of the Dao Origin from birth. This is the wonder of some Innate Spirit Bodies that naturally harmonize with a particular Dao, hence displaying extraordinary talent.
