Chapter 244: Planning for the West
Prohibiting the West from preaching to the East. Although this kind of thing is not stated openly, it is an unspoken rule that all Eastern powerful people tacitly agree on.
If Ao Bing's plan is followed, this unspoken rule will undoubtedly be broken.
Afterwards, it would be fine if we could successfully inflict heavy damage or even destroy the Western religion. But if not, but it succeeds in laying a foundation in the East and preaching everywhere, then who will bear this responsibility?
It is true that the plan was Ao Bingti's, but he was only a third-generation Xuanmen disciple, so he could not shoulder such a huge responsibility. There is no doubt that this responsibility must be placed on Laojun and let him bear it.
That is to say, Ao Bing discussed this matter with Lao Jun, claiming to ask for his opinion, but in fact he asked him to shoulder the blame.
Without his nod, no matter how good Ao Bing’s plan was, the Second Saint from the West would not dare to come to the East to preach. But if he nodded, he would be responsible for it.
If something goes wrong afterwards, the main responsibility will be his, and Ao Bingdingtian will also bear the secondary responsibility.
"Uncle, even if this hole is not opened now, it will be opened in the future. The West is booming and preaching to the East. This is destiny and cannot be changed."
"The two sages of the West wanted to become successful. Holy Spirit, you have made so many great wishes to Heaven, and they all need to be fulfilled. How can they fulfill these great aspirations if the West is not prosperous?”
"And if they can't fulfill their ambitions, Heaven can't really take back their holy thrones, right? Compared with taking back the holy thrones of the two saints of the West, it is obviously easier to make the West prosperous."
"So, even if If we don’t take the initiative to open this hole, we will passively open it in the future under the pressure of heaven.”
“Since the outcome is already determined, what we have to do is to minimize the losses instead of reacting passively. It is better to take the initiative and bring Western teachers into the situation in advance, so as to firmly control the initiative."
Seeing Laojun's hesitation, Ao Bing continued to persuade. He may not understand the general trend of heaven, but he is very good at analyzing the pros and cons.
If the West cannot prosper, the great aspirations promised by the two sages of the West will not be fulfilled. But if they are unable to fulfill their ambition, Heaven will take back the holy status given to them.
But the question is, once the holy throne is given, how can it be easily taken back?
If it really comes back, then the previous investment, the merit invested in the Two Saints of the West, will be all in vain?
Even if it is just to prevent this debt from going bad, Tiandao will favor the two saints of the West and make some mistakes for them.
Not to mention, Heaven still needs the rise of the West to balance Xuanmen.
The balance of heaven and earth is the most important thing. However, in the ancient times, Xuanmen was so strong that it almost dominated the world, so that the demonic way used to balance the immortal way was no match for it.
In this case, Tiandao naturally needs to support the other force and continue to compete with Xiandao.
Considering the current situation in the prehistoric world, the only one that can be favored by Heaven is the Western Sect, which has always been rejected by Xuanmen.
First of all, Taoism has always regarded itself as the right path, while Western religion is a side sect and is not favored by immortality.
Secondly, the method of cultivation taught in the West is completely different from the immortal way. Thirdly, the teachings of Western religions seem to be born out of the demonic way and are inconsistent with the immortal way.
No matter from which angle you look at it, Western religion has nothing to do with immortality. Instead, it is self-contained and independent of immortality.
A force that is not favored by the Immortal Dao and is independent of the Immortal Dao is simply another demonic path. It is very normal to be valued and supported by the Heavenly Dao and used to balance Xuanmen.
These were analyzed by Ao Bing himself and verified by Tiandao. And what he can analyze, a saint can naturally analyze.
Therefore, Ao Bing believed that Saint Taiqing must understand what he said.
"That's right. It's better to deal with it proactively than to accept it passively. You don't need to worry about this matter. Just let Dashang give the order to the Western Church. I will talk to the two Westerners about the rest. Friends discuss it. "
Laojun is not an indecisive person. He just hesitated for a moment and made a decision in his heart. Agreeing to Ao Bing's plan, no, it should be said that he turned Ao Bing's plan into a condition and attached it to his own plan.
Just as Ao Bing thought, the Western Daxing could no longer stop this, and all the saints knew it. And for this reason, Saint Taiqing also had a vague idea.
It is similar to what Ao Bing thought. Instead of reacting passively, it is better to turn passivity into initiative. That is to say, he took the initiative to invite the two saints from the West to preach in the East, so that they could owe the East a favor.
Anyway, things cannot be stopped, so it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to gain some benefits and try to make up for your losses.
This is the plan of Saint Taiqing. On the condition of preaching, he asks for favors from the two Western Saints for the future.
And this plan does not conflict with Ao Bing's plan, but can complement each other.
The plan of the two people can be regarded as two parts.
Ao Bing's plan is the first half, which is intended to weaken the strength of the Western religion so that it can break away from Xuanmen and establish another sect without being able to take away too much of Xuanmen's luck.
If Western religion wants to flourish, of course, the more luck, the better. If too much luck cannot be taken away from Xuanmen, then if Western religion wants to flourish in the future, it will inevitably encounter more setbacks.
The second half of Saint Taiqing’s plan was to ask for favors from the two Western Saints on the condition of preaching.
The so-called prosperity and decline means that there is no supreme treasure in the West to suppress destiny. After great prosperity, it is bound to decline. Asking for favors from the Second Saint of the West is to prepare for this and speed up its decline.
One of them creates difficulties for the Western Daxing, and the other aims to shorten the time for the Western Daxing. They are not complementary to each other. If this plan comes to fruition, the Western religion will be devastated.
"Then please leave it to my uncle!"
Ao Bing didn't know what Lao Jun was thinking, but when he saw that he agreed, he quickly replied happily. But if he knew what Lao Jun was thinking, he probably wouldn't be able to laugh anymore.
Although Laojun's plan was good, he never imagined that if it developed according to the normal timeline, the favor he wanted would be used by Yuanshi Tianzun to deal with the Tongtian Cult Leader.
At the cost of this favor, the two saints from the west are invited to take action to break the Immortal Killing Sword Formation together.
If there is no benefit, why should the Second Saint of the West help Yuanshi Tianzun deal with the leader of Tongtian? Therefore, after the canonization of gods, the restrictions in the East that prohibited Western preaching were lifted.
As for the Western Self-reliance, relying on the transformation of a large number of Jiejiao disciples, it severely separated a large wave of fortune from Xuanmen.
After the Jie Jiao was destroyed, it is hard to say whether Yuanshi Tianzun benefited from it, but the Western Sect definitely received huge benefits and became the top sect, replacing the Jie Jiao.
……
After finishing talking about things in the West, Ao Bing said goodbye to Laojun without staying in Tushita Palace, and then left Tushita Palace and went to the History Museum.
He wanted to see how the history of heaven was being revised.
He now has the catalog of dragon history. Next, he only needs to obtain the catalog of heavenly history and human history to meet the conditions for breaking through to the mythical Taiyi.
