Chapter 2034: Chapter 1980–1981: Strife Among Taoist Monarchs

Waiting for this seat to exit seclusion, to personally meet Taoist Monarch Xuantian!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall showed a shocked expression.

Everyone here is smart, and they all understand what the Alliance Hierarch means by wanting to meet Taoist Monarch Xuantian; it is definitely not to have a chat or joke around, but to truly engage in a duel and regain some dignity.

With Zhao Baiyang’s style, he absolutely wouldn’t joke about such things.

“Be cautious!”

“Are you confident?”

“Taoist Monarch Xuantian is a veteran Daoist Monarch, an existence that can contend with the Sword Emperor, such an opponent is not easy!”

Everyone spoke out in quick succession to advise him.

It’s not that they’re boosting others’ morale over their own.

It’s that a person’s name is like a shadow cast by a tree; Taoist Monarch Xuantian’s reputation is built upon countless defeated opponents.

Back before the revival of heaven and earth, Taoist Monarch Xuantian was already the Supreme Overlord, even now, he remains among the few cultivators standing atop the pinnacle.

In this Divine Continent and among the Realms of Heavenly Seas, whether they are newly ascended Dao Lords or veteran Daoist Monarchs, apart from Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing, perhaps no one can claim to have an edge over him when all cards are out on the table, not even the Sword Emperor can guarantee that.

Taoist Monarch is merely a title, but among the Taoist Monarchs, there is a clear distinction in levels of strength.

Not mentioning the different tiers among veteran Daoist Monarchs, even among newly ascended Dao Lords, there are many tiers.

Zhao Baiyang, as a newly ascended Dao Lord, with the existence of the Tri-Sun Dharma Body, can be considered a overlord among the newly ascended Dao Lords, perhaps enough to engage with some veteran Daoist Monarchs.

However, Taoist Monarch Xuantian’s strength, among veteran Daoist Monarchs, is also that of a supreme overlord, leaving a significant gap between the two sides.

Therefore, under such circumstances, since it has been decided to retreat, they actually do not want Taoist Monarch Xuantian to take action at this time, there is absolutely no need for it.

Listening to everyone’s advice, capturing their worried glances, Zhao Baiyang shook his head with a smile and said, “This seat is not someone who doesn’t know the height of the heavens and the depth of the earth. I wouldn’t say such things without some degree of confidence, no need for you to worry. Moreover, now we do need to make a certain statement, otherwise, constant retreat will inevitably lead to underestimation by others.”

Zhao Baiyang’s idea didn’t come out of thin air, it had been there since he exited seclusion.

Although the situation is unfavorable now, there’s no need to clash directly with the Xuantian Sect, giving others the opportunity for gain, it does not mean he would truly retreat before the Xuantian Sect, capitulate and play small.

If even after ascending as a Daoist Monarch, I still have to endure you, then what is the point of being a Dao Monarch?

Zhao Baiyang doesn’t know if others feel their Dao Monarchy is in vain, but he knows his own is not, he has enough confidence.

This injury, indeed a significant harm to Zhao Baiyang, but sometimes, as the saying goes, “A blessing in disguise.”

The original Tri-Sun Dharma Body had been pushed to an extremity by Zhao Baiyang, believing that this divine ability was extremely perfect, and as long as he successfully ascended as a Dao Monarch, he could exert tremendous power, making himself invincible among newly ascended Dao Lords.

However, when he fought with the Daoist Bodhisattva of the Buddhism School, having his Tri-Sun Dharma Body shattered, only then did he clearly realize the gap between True Immortal and Dao Monarch.

At the True Immortal level, it is believed to be flawless, but in the eyes of Dao Monarch’s strong, flaws are everywhere, a casual strike is enough for its collapse.

Nevertheless, sometimes it is precisely “the broken and the establishment”; originally believed perfect Tri-Sun Dharma Body, Zhao Baiyang’s vision couldn’t find a suitable direction for development, thus ultimately only able to maintain the status quo.

But when this Tri-Sun Dharma Body shattered, it was as if it turned into a blank slate, giving Zhao Baiyang the opportunity to redraw anew, he began constructing the foundation of Tri-Sun Dharma Body from the Dao Monarch’s perspective.

Perhaps the previous existence of Tri-Sun Dharma Body made him unmatched among True Immortals, even Quasi-Taoist Lords couldn’t break the Tri-Sun Dharma Body, invisibly adding shackles.

But this time, the destruction of the Dharma Body made him unwittingly perceive the destruction and rebirth of the Path of the Three Suns, finally allowing him to progress further, transforming into the Supreme Divine Power of Dao Monarch level.

It is precisely because of this metamorphosis of the Tri-Sun Dharma Body, coupled with his newfound comprehension of the Three Suns Dao, that Zhao Baiyang’s strength went a step further, rising to the challenge of veteran Daoist Monarchs.

Originally, this idea needed time to wait, it could be suppressed, but this time the actions of Xuantian Sect are no less than ignoring, making Zhao Baiyang clear that even if he ascends as a Dao Monarch, he is still underestimated by many.

Zhao Baiyang needs, and the Heterodox Alliance also needs, to issue their voice, to let all parties recognize their own strength, only in this way can they strive for sufficient status in the future.

“Seeking harmony through compromise is not the Righteous Path, or in other words, playing the pig to eat the tiger, ultimately stems from insufficiency in strength.” This was once said by Pei Xuanjing in a discussion with Longevity Taoist Monarch.

The so-called playing the pig to eat the tiger, isn’t it a reflection of insufficient strength, distrust towards one’s own power?

If you truly possess enough strength, then you can completely crush all opponents, crush all dissidents, without needing any subterfuge.

“Today’s era is the most brutal, but also the most real. Perhaps at the True Immortal level, you may need to be low-key, reserved. But a Dao Monarch is a sovereign of Dao, dominating all lives, not one of them is low-key, strength is the most straightforward.”
