The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 1502 - 1502 1450-1451 Jade Emperor Dissatisfied True

Chapter 1502: Chapter 1450-1451 Jade Emperor Dissatisfied True Rival Chapter 1502: Chapter 1450-1451 Jade Emperor Dissatisfied True Rival “I heard recently that the Heterodox Alliance has subdued three factions just entering the Divine Land World, gaining three True Immortals, and making quite a splash?” Zhu Houji, dressed in casual attire, was ditating with closed eyes on the couch when he suddenly spoke.

In the vast and silent great hall, even though Zhu Houji’s voice was soft, it clearly reached the ears of Lu Bing, who stood by.

Not to ntion that having cultivated up to this day, a True Immortal should have sharp senses; if he couldn’t even catch such a soft sound, what would that say about him? Besides, as Zhu Houji’s loyal subordinate, always ready to obey, how could Lu Bing miss any command from Zhu Houji?

“Replying to Your Majesty,” Lu Bing bowed and answered, “the Heterodox Alliance has indeed recently amalgamated three factions, and with this montum, they have opened territories in the Western Continent, exhibiting imnse authority.”

As per usual reason, being a True Immortal now, even if Lu Bing was once a guard when Zhu Houji was a prince, considered a servant of the latter, he shouldn’t have been so humble.

Now, although there are many True Immortals in the Divine Land World, this does not justify the luxury of having one True Immortal serve another.

As beings who have certified as Tao-Certifying True Immortals, they not only transcend ordinary life in essence but also possess imnse strength, which brings significant status and recognition.

Regardless of their past identities, anyone who certifies as a True Immortal has stepped onto the pinnacle in the universe, a part of the elite few, revered and esteed by countless powerful beings.

Therefore, with Lu Bing’s status, while he can maintain his loyalty and respect toward Zhu Houji, there’s no need for such humility.

It wasn’t Zhu Houji who insisted on this behavior; at the ti Lu Bing attained Tao-Certifying True Immortal status, Zhu Houji had told him, his status had changed and he needn’t be so humble; maintaining loyalty was enough.

Yet, Lu Bing remained the sa, continuing his profound respect for Zhu Houji because he held his convictions.

To him, Lu Bing was initially just an ordinary guard in the Great Ming Empire; even becoming Zhu Houji’s Personal Guard didn’t make him dream of much power—everyone knew how much power a prince in the Great Ming Empire held; being fortunate enough to live a life of wealth was lucky enough.

But what no one expected was that apart from personal effort, an individual’s rise is also driven by fate and the era.

As Zhu Houji’s fortunes changed during his ti as a prince, so soared Lu Bing’s standing, continuously rising until he even certified the Great Tao of a True Immortal—a notion once unthinkable for him.

“A man ascends to the Tao, and his animals ascend with him” seed apt. In Lu Bing’s view, his own legendary developnt was only slightly less impressive than that of Thunder Departnt Heavenly Venerate Pang Hong.

Such great kindness was almost an impossible debt of gratitude to repay in his lifeti; how could he not remain utterly loyal to Zhu Houji?

Moreover, his status as a True Immortal was not like others; his achievent was largely supported by Zhu Houji, partly through opportunistic ans and utilizing the power and authority of the Heavenly Court.

His fortune now thoroughly intertwined with Zhu Houji’s—their rise and fall linked together—so his reverence for Zhu Houji remained deep and unchanged despite his enhanced power.

When Emperor Monarch inquired about the recent situation with the Heterodox Alliance, Lu Bing imdiately understood Zhu Houji’s intentions.

Their side had a strained relationship with the Heterodox Alliance; centuries of enmity hadn’t faded, even deepening over ti.

“Emperor Monarch, should we act?” Lu Bing ventured to ask.

However, that’s the difference in their positions; even if one were a loyal subordinate of Zhu Houji, they might guess his intentions but wouldn’t dare to directly probe.

An emperor’s mind is unpredictable, and presuming to fathom a superior’s thoughts is taboo, let alone verbalizing such inquiries—a grave offense for any subordinate.

But it was different for Lu Bing, Zhu Houji’s confidant and loyal follower, who also grew up with him as playmates; thus, what would be overstepping for others was not for Lu Bing, and Zhu Houji showed no discontent or anger.

He nodded slightly, not minding that his thoughts were perceived by Lu Bing; he had no intention of hiding his motives.

“Indeed!” Zhu Houji slightly nodded, showing his stance.

Suppressing the Heterodox Alliance was Zhu Houji’s aim, and he didn’t hide this attitude of wanting to suppress the opposition.

Over the years, his various interventions, both covert and overt, to restrict the Heterodox Alliance were well known to the upper echelons; any powers that understood the origins and outcos of their past grievances would not comnt on this affair.
