To the Jade Emperor now, what he seeks is the balance of power, or perhaps the stability between various factions, so that he can maneuver among them and maximize his own interests.
Pang Hong's ascension to Taoist Monarch is a formidable threat to the interests of various forces concerning the Shenxiao Sect, but for the Jade Emperor, it is inconsequential. In fact, it is a better trend.
After all, if Pang Hong hadn't ascended to Taoist Monarch, the veteran Daoist Monarchs would have naturally reached a balanced state and would focus more efforts on targeting him.
But Pang Hong's emergence has made these veteran Daoist Monarchs aware that the Shenxiao Sect is a colossal threat, thus they will divert their attention, granting him more time.
Thinking of this, the Jade Emperor's expression softened: "Today I come bearing the Will of Heaven and Earth. Since senior brother has ascended to Taoist Monarch, naturally I need not entangle further."
