Chapter 243 Meeting Laojun
The divine power can be said to be one of the fundamental powers of the Emperor of Heaven. Ao Bing created the Incense Divine Way. No matter what the purpose was, it was essentially a robbery of the Emperor of Heaven's authority.
For the Jade Emperor, this is an irresolvable conflict. Unless Ao Bing is willing to give up control of Shinto and hand it over to him, the two are destined to be opposites.
The same is true for the City God system, which is essentially an encroachment on the divine power of the Netherworld. The divine power of the Netherworld is also crucial to the Jade Emperor and is the embodiment of his majesty.
If the Emperor of Heaven cannot control the life and death of all spirits, then the respect of all spirits for him will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.
Ao Bing has shaken the Jade Emperor's foundation. It's fine if the Jade Emperor doesn't know. If he knows, how can he tolerate him?
Therefore, it is destined that the two of them are on opposite sides and will fall out sooner or later. Ao Bing had expected this and was not surprised by today's scene.
He was just a little helpless. If he had known that he would confront the Jade Emperor, he would not have wasted time building a good relationship with the Jade Emperor.
"No matter what, the matter of diverting the water of the Tianhe River into Tongtianze has been completed. Compared with this, falling out with the Jade Emperor is not a big deal."
The Jade Emperor left Afterwards, Ao Bing didn't stay long. He shook his head and left the Pixiang Palace and walked towards Laojun's Tusita Palace.
In the past, Ao Bing had some scruples about offending the Jade Emperor, but now, he didn't care at all. The Jade Emperor had plans for him, so he might as well think carefully about how to deal with Yuanshi Tianzun next.
Is the Jade Emperor's increased prestige really a good thing for him? Not necessarily. If he honestly acts as the Emperor of Heaven in name only, then naturally no one will cause trouble for him.
But if he is unwilling to be lonely and insists on seizing power and becoming a veritable emperor, Yuanshi Tianzun and other saints will definitely seek his misfortune.
With the Emperor of Heaven, what else do we need saints for?
Therefore, if the saints do not want their influence to be replaced by the Emperor of Heaven, they will definitely try their best to suppress the Jade Emperor so that he can honestly live under the saints and obey their orders.
Not to mention, the Jade Emperor caused this catastrophe of killing gods and gods, causing the three religions to kill each other. Do you really think that the three Qing Dynasties are easy to get along with, and can they turn a blind eye to the Jade Emperor, the culprit?
If you don’t take action against him now, it’s not because you have forgotten or because you don’t dare, but because you don’t have time. When the dispute between the three religions comes to an end, the Three Qing Dynasties will have many ways to torment the Jade Emperor.
He was already in a lot of troubles, but he still jumped like this, making the saint focus on himself. It can be said that the Jade Emperor will be busy next.
Just dealing with the sage's schemes can make him want to die, so he has no spare energy to scheme against Ao Bing.
The more you dance, the louder the noise, and the faster it gets cold. This is what the Jade Emperor is talking about today.
Ao Bing has the memory of later generations and works backwards from the results. He is very clear about the current situation of the Jade Emperor. It seems that he is about to reach his peak, but in fact it is the final glory.
When the canonization of gods is over and the gods return to their places, the Jade Emperor will be completely reduced to a puppet, at the mercy of Yuanshi Tianzun.
Knowing this, how could Ao Bing be afraid of the Jade Emperor?
If you offend, you will be offended. Apart from the slight pity that you cannot use his only authority to achieve your own goals, there is no other disadvantage.
……
The Tushita Palace is not far from the Pixiang Palace and is located in the highest heavens. Therefore, Ao Bing arrived at the Tushita Palace within a short time of walking.
Outside the Tushita Palace, the two boys Jin and Silver had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Ao Bing coming, they hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I've seen Brother Renlong. I'm waiting for you in the hall."
With Laojun's cultivation level, as soon as Ao Bing walked into Tushita Tian, he Feeling it, it was not surprising to send a boy to greet him in advance.
That is to say, now is the period of calamity, and all the magical powers of deduction are ineffective. Otherwise, I am afraid that Laojun will know his intention as soon as Ao Bing's thoughts come to him.
Nodding as a greeting, Ao Bing asked the gold and silver boy to lead the way and walked into the Tushita Palace with them to meet the Supreme Lord.
Lao Jun was currently refining elixirs for the Jade Emperor and could not spare any time, so he simply met Ao Bing directly in front of the Bagua furnace.
The alchemy fire in the Bagua furnace rose, emitting terrifying heat, roasting the alchemy room like a big furnace. Even with Ao Bing's cultivation level, he couldn't help but feel a sense of discomfort after coming here.
It can be seen from this that the power of this flame must be the top innate divine fire. And the elixir refined in the Bagua furnace must be extremely extraordinary, and the power contained in it is probably stronger than Ao Bing.
This is not surprising. The elixir made by Laojun is called Hunyuan Golden Pill. It was specially made for the Jade Emperor. If taken all year round, it can cultivate the Hunyuan body, that is, the physical body can achieve the realm of Hunyuan.
The elixir was given by Taoist ancestors, and the medicinal materials were provided by Heaven. This was regarded as a benefit of becoming the Emperor of Heaven, to ensure that before the immeasurable calamity, the Emperor of Heaven could reach the realm of Hunyuan and not die in the calamity.
The power contained in the golden elixir that can enable people to achieve the realm of Hunyuan can be imagined. It is nothing to surpass Ao Bing, and even many Da Luo Jinxian cannot compare with it.
One bite of Daluo Jinxian, one bite will last for hundreds of millions of years. This is the Jade Emperor. It is really scary to think about it. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the Jade Emperor is the most powerful person among the saints.
Several other people with great supernatural powers combined may not have as many resources as the Jade Emperor.
Is this so comparable?
If there were no saints, the Jade Emperor would most likely have the final say in these three realms. It's a pity that with the saint, no matter how strong the Jade Emperor is, he can only be a puppet.
"Disciple Renlong, I have met the great uncle!"
Suppressing the discomfort, Ao Bing bowed to the Supreme Lord who was sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace.
Although Laojun is the three corpses of Taiqing Saint, there is no problem when viewed as the original body.
The relationship between the three corpses and the main body is very close. Although it has an independent personality, it is not an independent individual. It is still a part of the main body and can even completely replace the main body to a certain extent.
Their relationship is a bit similar to split personality, or multiple aspects of one body. In short, it is very wonderful, and it is difficult to understand without reaching this level.
"Get up."
Nodding, Laojun asked Ao Bing to get up, and then asked curiously: "I saw you before, and your relationship with the Jade Emperor was pretty good, why did you suddenly fall out this time? "
The purpose of Laojun coming to Heaven is firstly to maintain the stability of Heavenly Court, and secondly to ease the conflict between Heavenly Court and the three religions.
Therefore, when he saw Ao Bing taking the initiative to make friends with the Jade Emperor, he felt that Ao Bing was really a breath of fresh air among the three religions. He even felt that if all the disciples of the three religions were like Ao Bing, what would happen if everyone was like Ao Bing? How could there be such a catastrophe of killing gods and gods?
But in the end, not long after he praised Ao Bing, Ao Bing gave him a big blow and suddenly fell out with the Jade Emperor.
God knows how confused Laojun was when the news that Ao Bing was so angry that the Jade Emperor walked away reached Laojun's ears.
What's going on? Weren't the two of them getting along well before and acting like a monarch and a minister? Why did they suddenly fall out?
Lao Jun was very curious about this, so when Ao Bing came to see him, he didn't even ask Ao Bing why he came to see him, but first asked him the reason why he fell out with the Jade Emperor.
"This is not the fault of the disciples. It is actually the fault of the Jade Emperor who is too petty and puts his personal preferences above the safety of all sentient beings..."
Ao Bing didn't want to say it at first, but Lao Jun didn't want to say it. I asked him proactively, but he had no choice but not to speak, so he simply complained to the Jade Emperor.
This is called attacking first and not explaining the matter clearly. In the eyes of others, it is his fault that he made the Jade Emperor so angry that he walked away.
But if the matter is explained clearly, in the eyes of outsiders, the Jade Emperor is being unreasonable. "You..."
Hearing this, Laojun couldn't help but shake his head.
From what Ao Bing said, he must be biased towards himself. But a person like Laojun can see the whole story from a glimpse. Just listening to Ao Bing's story, he understood the whole process of the matter.
It is true that the Jade Emperor was wrong, but was Ao Bing right? He must have other ways to persuade the Jade Emperor to agree to this, but that would be too time-consuming.
So, in order to save time, he directly forced the Jade Emperor to agree to this matter. This was his fault. As a minister, how could he threaten the Jade Emperor?
That is to say, what Ao Bing did was extremely righteous. Otherwise, just the fact that he coerced the Jade Emperor would be enough to send him to the list of gods.
Is it a trivial matter to coerce the Jade Emperor? Of course not, coercion is much more serious than slight.
Don’t forget that Chanjiao Jinxian just made fun of the Jade Emperor, so he ended up being killed and his names were all recorded on the list of gods.
Ao Bing's crime of coercing the Jade Emperor was much greater than theirs. Even if he was listed on the list, he was not unjust at all.
“The Jade Emperor is the co-lord of the three realms after all. This time, just because you are speaking out for all sentient beings, forget it.”
“But next time, don’t do this with him again. Speak. Otherwise, even if your master comes, I will punish you."
The old man thought for a while and scolded Ao Bing.
This is an explanation to the outside world. He has already reprimanded Ao Bing on this matter. In this way, it would be difficult for outsiders, especially Chanjiao disciples, to accuse Ao Bing of this matter.
"Thank you, Master."
Having heard the protective meaning in Laojun's words, Ao Bing thanked him quickly. With Laojun as guarantee, this matter will be considered a thing of the past. No one can say anything except the Jade Emperor.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about the purpose of your coming to see me."
Waving his hand to ask Ao Bing not to do these false gifts, Laojun asked straight to the point. road.
“This disciple is here mainly to ask his master’s opinion on the matter of leading Western religions into trouble.”
"We are both members of Taoism. Now the three religions are fighting each other, but the Western religion has stayed out of the matter. No matter how you think about it, this is inappropriate."
"In the eyes of outsiders, they think that the Western religion is not my Xuanmen." It is part of the sect. Therefore, the disciples think that we should give the Western Sect a chance to participate in the Immortal God Killing Tribulation."
"This will also let the world know that the disciples of the Western Sect. , He is also a disciple of Xuanmen."
In front of Laojun, Ao Bing did not dare to play tricks and replied honestly.
“Ah this...”
For a moment, Laojun was a little confused by Ao Bing, because from the beginning to the end, he had never considered leading the Western religion into trouble.
As for why, Ao Bing’s words have already given the answer. From the beginning, Sanqing and other Xuanmen strongmen did not regard Western religion as a part of Xuanmen.
Or to be more precise, I didn’t regard them as immortals at all. Western religions are nothing more than a group of heretics, how can they be compared with orthodox monks like them?
Since we did not regard them as immortals, we naturally did not consider Western religion when dealing with the issue of killing and tribulation of immortals.
But Ao Bing's words reminded Laojun that, whether they admit it or not, in the eyes of the outside world and even Heaven, Western religion is a part of Taoism and a branch of it.
Therefore, in theory, Western religion can indeed be involved in this catastrophe of killing gods and gods.
“Are you trying to lure the Western religions into trouble and let them act as scapegoats to reduce the losses of the three religions?”
After thinking for a moment, Laojun understood what Ao Bing meant. It is similar to Yuanshi Tianzun's method, but it is more clever.
Yuanshi Tianzun asked his disciples to take the tribulation for his disciples, while Ao Bing asked his future enemies to take the tribulation on his behalf. The style was too high.
Even Laojun is a little moved when he thinks about it. He also saw that the Western Sect was dissatisfied, and vaguely realized that the Western Sect had already thought of breaking away from Taoism and establishing another sect.
Although Laojun does not regard Western religion as a part of Xuanmen from the bottom of his heart, if they dare to establish another sect, Saint Taiqing, who is the acting leader of Xuanmen, will not agree to it in any case.
It is easy for Western religions to set up a separate school, but what is separated from them is the fate of Xuanmen. How can the Taiqing Saint agree? Therefore, he must stop this matter. Even if he cannot stop it, he must try to reduce Xuanmen's losses as much as possible.
And Ao Bing's method undoubtedly provided him with an idea to reduce Xuanmen's losses. If the Western religion establishes another branch, it will inevitably take away the fortune of Taoism.
But how much can be divided depends on the strength of the Western religion. The stronger the Western religion is, the more luck it will take away. On the contrary, the weaker the Western religion, the less luck the group will have.
Even if the Western Sect can be destroyed, even if the two Western saints continue to establish separate schools, they will not be able to share much Taoist destiny.
What Laojun saw in Ao Bing's proposal was an opportunity to severely damage or even destroy the Western religion. Involve the Western Sect into the catastrophe of killing gods and gods, and then combine the power of the three religions to defeat the Western Sect in one fell swoop.
In this way, it can not only reduce the losses of the three religions, but also reduce the strength of the Western religion. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.
“What do you think?”
Although he was a little moved, Laojun did not agree immediately, but continued to ask Ao Bing what he thought.
"The Western Sect is far away from the center of the ancient world, and it is difficult to involve them in the disaster by ordinary methods. So the disciples thought that in the name of fighting against the devil together, let the great merchants send a decree to the Western Sect and invite them Come and preach.”
"The West has wanted to preach in the East for a year or two, but no one gave them the opportunity before."
"Now we take the initiative to give them the opportunity, even if they know it is a scam, they cannot refuse, He had no choice but to plunge headlong into the killing. "
The purpose was to obtain Laojun's consent, so Ao Bing did not hide anything and spoke out all his thoughts.
"Although the method is good, the hidden dangers are huge. Once the opening for the West to spread from the East is opened, it will be difficult to close it again."
To be fair, Laojun I felt that Ao Bing's method was wonderful, but even if I asked him to think about it, he couldn't think of anything better than this. However, this method has a hidden danger, that is, it opens the door for the West to spread from the East.
There was still one at two or three in the morning.
I was buried today and almost died from the heat. The temperature was nearly 40 degrees Celsius. I stood in the ground for more than an hour under the bright sun.
