The Heavenly Emperor Pressed Hard, Drew Boundaries, and the Little Black Leopard Bullied by the Chan Sect

In Zixiao Palace.

The Dao Ancestor briefly explained the matter of the Five Emperors.

The Heavenly Emperor sat in his seat, expressionless, though inwardly he was somewhat surprised.

He had thought everything in the Primordial Wilderness was decided by the thoughts and wishes of the strong. If the Dao Ancestor wanted something done, no one could stop him.

But today, the Dao Ancestor had shown him otherwise.

It seemed even the Dao Ancestor acted according to some so-called prevailing tide?

After thinking it over,

the Heavenly Emperor understood why.

Back when the Dao Ancestor joined himself with the Heavenly Dao, he had needed to teach all beings and spread his own Dao. That had been the prevailing tide of the Heavenly Dao.

The Dao Ancestor wanted to align himself with the Heavenly Dao.

He wanted to control it.

So he had to do just that. There was no other path.

And when the Heavenly Emperor had nearly died before, the Dao Ancestor had not come after him once he lay gravely wounded and near death. Perhaps that was because the prevailing tide had already determined his ordeal. Whether he lived or died was up to him.

If he died, that was Heaven's Will.

If he survived, that too was Heaven's Will.

Even if the Dao Ancestor wanted to kill him, he could not scheme against him again so soon. He did not have that many blades to turn against him.

Nor would the prevailing tide let the Heavenly Emperor fall so easily.

Now, if the Dao Ancestor wanted to scheme against the Human Race and the Interception Sect, he would have to wait until the Human Race's age of great prosperity had passed. Then he could scheme against the Interception Sect and catch the Human Race in the same net,
