The gaze of these mighty beings was captivated by the trials, their attention even more engrossed, to the point where they wished they could participate and take action themselves.
Had the initiator of this trial not been the Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing, these True Immortals might have employed underhanded tactics, never assume that all True Immortals abide by the rules.
The exalted True Immortals were often the makers of the rules, their will being supreme.
Many times, they held a detached status, possessing absolute dominion over many matters, unconstrained by others.
Now, however, with the Taoist Monarch present, regardless of their thoughts and desires, they had to endure for the time being, because from any other reasoning, just on one point alone, Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing was more powerful than them, possessing an even more detached status. He was their rule maker, the one who reigned over everything.
