So, Yu Zhenzi was quite surprised when the Taoist Monarch required Bai Qicang to make an appearance, because if it wasn't for the Taoist Monarch mentioning it, he probably would have forgotten about this person's existence.

Of course, this is a strange move, after all, if even he almost forgot the other's existence, there are probably many people in the world who would overlook the other's existence.

As Yu Zhenzi's message was sent out, the other four of the Five Old Lords within the Myriad Laws Realm immediately received the news.

Originally, they came to this Myriad Laws Realm to seek divine power and then find some opportunities for themselves, but now that the situation in this Myriad Laws Realm has evolved into such a chaotic mess, it was unexpected for them.

As members of the Taoist School, when each faction can be in opposition to each other, even if they don't want to participate, they can't avoid such conflicts and have to be dragged into great battles with some people.

However, now the chaotic war in the Myriad Laws Realm has shifted from the initial fierce battles to the current persistent situation, although there are occasional great battles between the various sides, it is not as intense as it was at the beginning.

Perhaps for other reasons, such as some Taoist Monarchs wanting to use this opportunity to take this place as a rehearsal for the chaos in the Divine Continent World, so the disputes in the Myriad Laws Realm have never stopped, even if some have the thought of leaving, they cannot leave.

When these few Five Old Lords found no gain, they actually had some thoughts of retreat, but because of the requirements from behind the Taoist Monarchs, they simply didn't dare to leave at this time, nor did they have a reason to.

They are all part of the same vein of Taoist School, and the rest of the various sides are still persisting here, let alone the Taoist Monarchs behind them not allowing them to leave, even without the will of the Taoist Monarchs, they do not dare to leave at this time, as this would offend other strong figures in the Taoist School.

Even though they are five True Immortals, the Five Old Lords are of one mind and have a not low status within the Taoist School, but this does not mean there is perfect harmony within the Taoist School without opponents.

In the end, no force is without internal discord, the so-called sincere unity is always relative, periodic, as long as there is interest, there inevitably will be disputes.

In the eyes of some Taoist Monarchs, the position of the Five Old Lords is an awkward and dispensable one, in the eyes of some Imperial Honors, a thorn in the side, and in the eyes of some real-power Gods of the Heavenly Court, merely a sinecure.

But even so, the Divine Position of these Five Old Lords is something some True Immortals within the Taoist School dream of, if given the chance, they too would want to assume this position.

To outsiders, the Five Old Lords have no authority within the Heavenly Court, a presence neither here nor there, but in the eyes of some strong figures in the Taoist School, this is a ticket to the peak, sitting in this position, with the support of many Taoist Monarchs, there's a chance to reach the pinnacle one day.

As for these Five Old Lords themselves, their aptitude is extraordinary, and their understanding exceptional, or else they wouldn't have caught the eyes of several Taoist Monarchs, allowing them to sit in this position.

However, their current cultivation and realm not only come from themselves but also the benefits brought by this Divine Position and the support of those Taoist Monarchs, otherwise, reaching even the Sixth Heaven of True Immortal is not an easy climb.

In the view of many True Immortals of the Taoist School, they simply have good luck, if it were themselves sitting in that position, they too could cultivate to this realm, and even further reach the realm of the Taoist Monarch, becoming a giant in the Taoist School.

Some strong figures in the Taoist School may disdain the position of these Five Old Lords, even if in the Future the Heavenly Court undergoes changes and these Five Old Lords fortuitously seize control of the Heavenly Court's authority, transforming into the Five Directions Heavenly Emperors, they consider it merely a puppet, with the real authority still in the hands of the Taoist Monarchs.

Yet, even this puppet position still makes many envious, eager to replace them. If everyone were so aloof, the position of the Jade Emperor, scolded as a puppet for so many years, would see many not minding being that puppet if given the opportunity to switch places.

To put it bluntly, sometimes being used is not a bad thing, being made a puppet isn't the worst outcome, the worst is having no value to be used, no qualification to be a puppet, which is the greatest blow.

So even if they had no enemies before, after assuming this Divine Position and gaining corresponding status and benefits, arousing covetousness in others, they naturally attract some opponents constantly wanting to pull them down and sit in that position themselves.

Hence, even if the Five Old Lords are tired of the conflict within the Myriad Laws Realm, feeling it has no meaning, they still can't show it, can't retreat, and even have to act more active and aggressive than others.

But upon receiving the news of Qingling Primordial Lord making a move against the Wood Virtue Star Lord, they became anxious, wanting to hurry back to support.

They received this news faster than others because when Qingling Primordial Lord noticed the Wood Virtue Star Lord leaving the Heavenly Court and prepared to make a move, he had already sent them a message, wanting them to come assist, which was Qingling Primordial Lord's backup plan.

Each of the Five Old Lords is a presence within the Sixth Heaven of True Immortals, although not each has reached the extremity of the Sixth Layer touching the threshold of a Taoist Monarch, their combined power is an absolute formidable force.

Especially with the Five Old Lords wielding the Five Elements Authority, their joint arrangement of the Five Elements Formation is in no way inferior to the formation arranged by the Five Virtues True Monarch of the past, possibly even superior.

This is why Qingling Primordial Lord dared to make a move, even knowing that the Wood Virtue Star Lord, being the first to certify the Tao of True Immortal, must have unimaginable trump cards, he remained confident for this reason.

With the combined move of the Five Old Lords arranging a great formation, unless a Taoist Monarch personally descends, no matter what trump cards the Wood Virtue Star Lord has, or if others come to assist, they have the confidence to suppress the other.

So, even after making a move against the Wood Virtue Star Lord and the opponent displayed the Dao of Life and Death which surprised Qingling Primordial Lord, he did not lose confidence, believing himself to be the ultimate victor.

Yet sometimes, the situation changes too quickly, plans can't keep up with changes.

When the other members of the Five Old Lords went to the Myriad Laws Realm, they indeed had an agreement to immediately return upon receiving news of the Wood Virtue Star Lord, after all, they were confident that no matter how chaotic the Myriad Laws Realm became, they could extricate themselves at any time.

However, the changes in the Myriad Laws Realm were unexpected, and Qingling Primordial Lord focused all his attention on the Wood Virtue Star Lord, even knowing about the changes in the Myriad Laws Realm, he did not really mind, preventing his subsequent steps from immediately manifesting, so the other Four Old Lords had no opportunity to extricate themselves back at this moment.

Yet, even so, this Qingling Primordial Lord could hold this Divine Position, considered by some Taoist Monarchs as a future Heavenly Emperor candidate, and his displayed combat power is astonishing.

Indeed, the Wood Virtue Star Lord's trump cards are profound, his realm of the Life and Death Dao not at all inferior to the Great Path of Wood, possibly even superior, his combat power has already reached the extremity of the True Immortal, just half a step away from a Taoist Monarch.

However, when Qingling Primordial Lord truly showed his strength, it was not inferior and even had the upper hand.

Simply facing the Wood Virtue Star Lord with the Great Path of Wood, he indeed couldn't suppress the other, but even without the other four Five Old Lords descending, they left behind some subsequent plans, allowing Qingling Primordial Lord alone to arrange a small Five Elements Formation to borrow the Five Elements Authority.
