"The Purple Mansion True Monarch, I underestimated the opponent." The Great Emperor Ziwei said with a cold smile.
After reports of the events in the Dragon Saliva Realm returned, the Great Emperor Ziwei realized that if he were in the Purple Mansion True Monarch's position, although his methods were ruthless, they were the best choice, achieving multiple goals at once.
"Indeed, not easily picking sides. But once a decision is made, action is taken decisively, with no hesitation." The Jade Emperor remarked with some surprise and admiration.
The Purple Mansion Sect was merely one of the newly risen large immortal sects in the world. Compared to other top and large immortal sects' aggressive demeanor, the Purple Mansion Sect was usually very low-key.
Compared to the other large immortal sects' indifference towards the Jade Emperor, ignoring his decrees, the Purple Mansion Sect was much more compliant. Even if dissatisfied with many of the Jade Emperor's decrees, they would not openly defy them, so the Jade Emperor paid little extra attention to them and did not target them deliberately.
This time, when someone attempted to stir trouble in the Dragon Saliva Realm, although it was not an affair the Jade Emperor participated in, he was well aware of it and tacitly approved it.
Even though previously he had no strong dislike towards the low-key large immortal sect like the Purple Mansion Sect, the current situation had factions pulling in recruits, and he wanted to take this opportunity to try to win over various powers, including the Purple Mansion Sect.
The Dragon Saliva Realm was controlled by the Purple Mansion Sect, with another part in the hands of the Heavenly Court.
If previously the Heavenly Court was not under the Jade Emperor's command, and he only held a nominal title, now after confronting the two Taoist Monarchs alongside the Great Emperor Ziwei, he truly made his voice heard.
This time, since an issue has arisen in the Dragon Saliva Realm, the Jade Emperor could justifiably intervene, and the Purple Mansion Sect could take this opportunity to curry favor with him, even if they did not fully align with the Jade Emperor's faction, there was room for maneuvering, and no one could blame them.
However, the development of events was entirely different from the Jade Emperor's expectations. Under such circumstances, the Purple Mansion Sect did not report anything to the Heavenly Court and directly suppressed matters with overwhelming force, seemingly drawing a clear line apart from the Heavenly Court.
The Jade Emperor did not believe that the intelligent Purple Mansion True Monarch would miss such an opportunity, but the opponent disregarded it, choosing a faction so decisively, which truly surprised him.
"Does this mean they don't believe we can win?" The Jade Emperor's eyes gleamed with a profound light, and he spoke in a faint tone.
In his original thought, revealing strength this time might not lead to victory, but it should at least let all factions recognize his power, allowing him to attract a group of followers.
Even if the attracted individuals had different goals and ambitions, the Jade Emperor had confidence in integrating and digesting these forces.
Most importantly, as long as he could draw recruits, it proved the success of this first appearance, make his voice heard, and make other factions recognize that he was qualified to stand at the peak.
"I actually think this is quite a figure, very similar to you, Jade Emperor." The Great Emperor Ziwei said calmly.
Although it seemed that the Purple Mansion True Monarch chose to align with the top immortal sects instead of relying on the Heavenly Court represented by them, it suggested a lack of confidence in them.
However, the Great Emperor Ziwei felt no dissatisfaction because he deemed it logical.
Disapproval was reasonable, but suddenly drawing close would be strange.
Those veteran True Monarchs have dominated the Divine Land World's Chaos Void for countless years, leaving an almost invincible impression on the True Immortals in the Realms of Heavenly Seas.
Even though new Dao Lords appeared, none successfully challenged them, still having to bow down, and some later new Dao Lords didn't even have the courage to challenge.
The alliance of new Dao Lords resisting many veteran Dao Lords has existed for so long without accomplishing anything significant, further establishing those veteran Dao Lords' dominance.
Even though the two of them were extremely dissatisfied with these veteran Dao Lords, thinking they harmed their interests, it was only after ascending to Dao Lords themselves that they chose to break decisively, openly opposing those veteran Dao Lords.
If it weren't that their interests were deeply eroded and those veteran Dao Lords' actions were too domineering, leaving no room for compromise, they probably wouldn't have resolved to turn against them.
They were like this, so how could others be different?
Especially for the Purple Mansion True Monarch who had experienced the Conferred God War and truly witnessed those veteran Dao Lords' invincible prowess; in their eyes, no doubt those veteran Dao Lords were much stronger.
If there were no connection or interest conflict between the top immortal sects and veteran Dao Lords, they would have no choice but to throw in their lot with the Jade Emperor, those Imperial Honors, and the newly ascended Dao Lords for a fight.
But the Purple Mansion True Monarch was different. The Purple Mansion Sect controlled the Dragon Saliva Realm, a strategic world producing Dragon Saliva Flowers, and lacked no benefits. Chaos would only harm them more than benefit.
Originally, they could steadily grow and develop utilizing the Dragon Saliva Realm's resources. Even if a day arose in the future when they conflicted with the veteran Dao Lords, but at least it was nowhere in sight. The Purple Mansion True Monarch hasn't even verified the Dao Lord status yet, right?
