This time Lu Bing replied that everyone in the three imperial palaces was focusing on opening up, which was considered normal and not surprising at all. Even if they put their power back, this would be an abnormal move.
After all, the struggle for power among these people never happens overnight. The struggle between these people can give each other the upper hand, one party suppresses the other, but if you want to really determine the outcome, it is not that way. So simple.
For the many Taoist monarchs hiding behind the Heavenly Court, they did not want the Jade Emperor, the Heavenly Court Emperor, to rule the heavens and earth, command the heavens, control all powers and threaten their existence, so they supported the rest. The rise of several royal lords took over the authority of the Jade Emperor.
Then for these true immortals, they are also not willing to see the Yu Zun they have supported seize the power of the Jade Emperor, or even replace the Jade Emperor's position, and then become a threat to them. exist.
What many true immortal Taoists need is balance, so that Heaven can be used for them and bring benefits to themselves, rather than creating an invincible existence, which in turn becomes a constraint to check and balance them, and even Powerful groups that command their existence and threaten their interests.
It was precisely because he realized this that even if the Jade Emperor faced the three Yuzuns joining forces, although the situation was a bit embarrassing, he was not unable to cope with it.
After all, for the Jade Emperor, if the situation is really so bad that it is irreversible, he can choose the last resort, directly give up the power in his hands, and use it to achieve one of the emperors and let him become his replacement. Himself, even a more powerful existence.
As long as they sit in the position of the Emperor of Heaven, their natural interests cannot overlap with those of many true immortal Taoists, and there must be conflicts between the two sides.
And the last desperate attempt to give up everything to create a stronger Heavenly Emperor will surely inspire this Heavenly Emperor to threaten the True Immortal Taoist Lord and trigger a war between them.
This will never change at all because of the origins of these Yuzun, unless they are willing to be a puppet, but since they can go to this step to become the Yuzun, how can they be willing to become puppets, so the conflict is Inevitable.
For Zhu Houcong who has lost everything, both parties are his enemies. It doesn't matter who wins or loses. For him, the other party has paid the price.
It is precisely because of seeing through this that many emperors are a bit jealous, because they understand that unless they can overwhelm all Taoists, they will not be able to obtain all the power.
Therefore, these emperors were also somewhat uninterested. Although they were still eroding the authority of the Jade Emperor, they no longer regarded these as the main things and began to put more efforts into opening up new ones. The world, strengthen oneself.
As for this, although they, the Royal Lords, have diverted their attention, the Jade Emperor cannot give up. After all, for him, his path is in heaven.
From those newly developed worlds, you can get some opportunities to make up for yourself, but compared to the recovery of the power of heaven, the two are not comparable at all.
Therefore, the Jade Emperor is still paying attention to the movements of several royal lords, constantly scheming, and looking for opportunities to regain more power for himself.
But these royal masters are not easy people. They have been able to reach this day. Every ordinary person, although they no longer plot against the Jade Emperor, how can they not understand the importance of the power in their hands? They must also be on guard. Don't give the Jade Emperor any chance.
When the Jade Emperor heard that there was no movement in the imperial palaces, he remained silent and did not comment on this answer.
But at this moment, Lu Bing was seen pondering for a moment, and then continued: "These emperors have not made any changes, but the Antarctic Imperial Palace has been moving more frequently recently."
In When he said this, Lu Bing was actually a little hesitant as to whether he should speak out about it.
The Antarctic Imperial Palace refers to only one existence in this world, and that is the divine incarnation of the Immortal Taoist Pei Xuanjing. The Imperial Palace where the Antarctic Immortal Emperor resides belongs.
Of course, the control of the Antarctic Imperial Palace is in the hands of the current Thunder God, Lei Zun Pang Hong, and is not really controlled by the Changsheng Emperor.
If it was really the Immortal Emperor, then for Lu Bing, he would not dare to have the idea of monitoring the other party.
Even now, the only ones he monitors are the ordinary monks under the Antarctic Imperial Palace, and they dare not spy on Lei Bu Tianzun, who is also a true immortal.
However, sometimes there is no need to monitor the true immortals. After all, even for the untouchable true immortals, they cannot do it themselves all the time. They all need to rely on others to perform these things. .
And from the reports of his subordinates, he discovered that some powerful people in the Antarctic Imperial Palace during this period, and even some of the Shenxiao lineage, were busy preparing for something.
To say that the development of the Shenzhou world is in full swing today, these powerful men belonging to the Shenxiao Sect who are worthy of Lu Bing's attention, each of them has a high status in the Shenxiao Sect or the Antarctic Imperial Palace. .
As for beings like them, today, when the world of China is developing so rapidly, they are naturally able to take advantage of the situation, soar upward, and gain many opportunities. According to common sense, it is normal to be busy.
The reason why these people were noticed by Lu Bing was that he found that they were running in the same direction recently. Even if the Shenxiao sect discovered some big world, it might not be enough. Support the entry of so many strong people.
That’s why Lu Bing’s attention was attracted.
But now, although they have lost the support of the Antarctic Imperial Palace, the other party cannot be called their ally, but it can be said that the other party is not in trouble, at least the other party will not become the enemy of their Jade Emperor lineage.
This time the people in the Antarctic Imperial Palace are obviously planning something. If they intervene and cause dissatisfaction with the Antarctic Imperial Palace, they may attract enemies to themselves.
You must know that the current situation of the Jade Emperor's lineage is already difficult. Under such circumstances, it is really not appropriate to continue to provoke the Antarctic Imperial Palace.
“Antarctic Imperial Palace!” A complicated look appeared in the Jade Emperor’s eyes when he heard this.
His attitude towards the Antarctic Imperial Palace is also very complicated. He does not deny that his teacher has helped him, but sitting in this position, the one he fears most is his Master Pei. .
There are so many powerful people in the world today, and there are countless True Immortal Dao Lords, but even with those old True Immortal Dao Lords, there are only a few people who can make him, the Jade Emperor, afraid, and there is no doubt that Master Pei is The most powerful one.
In these ten thousand years, with the resources he has obtained, his power has been pushed to an unimaginable level, which is no worse than some old true immortals, and even those Tao Lords Not left behind either.
But the Jade Emperor, who had reached such an advanced level of cultivation, could not even raise the slightest intention to challenge when facing the Immortal Taoist Lord Pei Xuanjing. Or maybe not just him, but even all the powerful people today, as time goes by, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to challenge the Taoist Lord Changsheng.
At least as far as the Jade Emperor knew, in the past ten thousand years, in addition to the Sword Emperor of the Sword Sect, there was also the Taoist Master Xuantian of the Xuantian Sect. Master Pei can still challenge him after a while, but the other strong men are not even qualified to challenge.
So nowadays, the Jade Emperor is very cautious when dealing with matters related to Master Pei, and does not dare to go overboard in the slightest, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
You must know that the Jade Emperor is not a fool. He knows that although he has a certain friendship with Master Pei, in the final analysis, he is only a registered disciple.
The so-called lack of intimacy, compared to Pang Hong’s direct disciple, he, as a registered disciple, was ultimately inferior.
And no matter how he took care of them at the beginning, these people under the Jade Emperor are still different from the disciples of Master Pei's Shenxiao Sect and Taoist Academy.
If there was some tacit understanding and friendship between the two parties before, then when he tried to erode the authority of the Antarctic Imperial Palace, he encountered a strong counterattack from the Shenxiao Sect and Master Pei never came forward. , you can know Master Pei’s attitude.
Regarding this, the Jade Emperor did not have any dissatisfaction. Instead, he felt that this was a matter of course. After all, the two sides had different positions. It was a matter of affection to help him, and it was his duty not to help himself.
But standing in this position, unless he completely gives up his authority and is willing to follow Master Pei like Pang Hong, he will never be able to reach the top.
For the Jade Emperor, his life experience has determined that it is absolutely impossible for him to place all his hopes on others, even if this person will be of great help to his growth and allow him to step forward It is absolutely impossible to get to where we are today in one step.
However, not relying on the other party does not mean that you have to completely break with the other party and become an enemy or rival.
If possible, the Jade Emperor believes that no strong person in this world would be willing to be an enemy or opponent of Taoist Changsheng. There is no doubt about this.
When he heard Lu Bing talk about the recent special actions of the Antarctic Imperial Palace, he actually didn't know what to do.
His view is the same as that of Lu Bing. Since everyone in the Antarctic Imperial Palace has taken action, it must mean that there is a big move in the Antarctic Imperial Palace, which is likely to involve Master Pei.
After all, for the entire Antarctic Imperial Palace, there are not many strong people who are qualified to mobilize such manpower. Even if it is not Master Pei, it is his senior brother who takes action, otherwise no one else would be able to do this. qualifications.
"Continue to pay close attention. If there are any abnormalities, report to me at any time." The Jade Emperor ordered Lu Bing.
In fact, from a rational point of view, he should not interfere with the affairs of the Antarctic Imperial Palace. After all, too much involvement between the two parties will also arouse the resentment of the Antarctic Imperial Palace.
But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't help but let Lu Bing pay attention to this matter. After all, no matter from any aspect, the plan of the Antarctic Imperial Palace must not be small. If he could get some opportunities from it, it would be A lot of benefits.
Not to mention other things, just the matter that may involve the Immortal Taoist Pei Xuanjing, let alone him, even if it is placed on any strong person, they will not ignore it. thing, miss this opportunity.
Hearing this, Lu Bing said yes. His Majesty's answer was actually what he had expected. In fact, he had already sent people to pay close attention to this matter.
While they were paying attention to the affairs of the Antarctic Imperial Palace, they did not know that their actions had actually fallen into the conspiracy.
“Did you take the bait?” Yu Zhenzi looked at Pang Hong with a smile on his lips.
"Lu Bing has reported this matter to the Jade Emperor. According to the feedback from the other party, the other party's attention has been attracted." Pang Hong put down the jade slip in his hand and nodded.
The importance of intelligence is self-evident to any force. The Jade Emperor can let his confidants prepare intelligence agencies and pay attention to the dynamics of all parties. So for the Shenxiao Faction, It goes without saying.
He, Lu Bing, can observe and summarize some of the actions and anomalies in the Antarctic Imperial Palace by paying attention to the movements of the gods to which the Antarctic Imperial Palace belongs, and he will even plant hidden traps among the various forces.
If at the beginning, what Lu Bing did was still secretive and unknown. But after such a long time, how could the various forces not know about their actions.
Something like hidden objects may be hidden very deep without knowing it, but once suspicion arises in your heart, you will definitely be able to find it out as long as you are willing to investigate slowly. Who is the traitor?
Don't think that that kind of dark child is so powerful. You must know that this is the world of cultivation, and there are all kinds of magical powers and secrets to detect and monitor. Even the most powerful dark child cannot withstand such investigation.
And they can set traps for others, and others can also send people to sneak into them, and even use their traps to fish and complete some lure plans.
This is what Pang Hong and the others did this time. Lu Bing thought that he had investigated everything about the Antarctic Imperial Palace by himself.
Indeed, this is part of it, but the other real reason is that Pang Hong and others deliberately leaked these traces for Lu Bing to discover.
You must know that since he knew that his family was carrying out a big plan, how could Pang Hong's character be able to carefully check and fill in the gaps, and how could he leave such a big loophole.
Judging from the fact that Pang Hong has been in charge of the Shenxiao Sect and even the Antarctic Imperial Palace for ten thousand years, there has never been a major mistake, which shows how rigorous Pang Hong is.
And don’t forget, Pang Hong is also a strong man who came out of the Ming Empire. How can others not know why the Dongchang Jinyiwei of the Ming Empire existed? How can he not know?
So even though this organization has changed its appearance under the Jade Emperor, when he saw that the leader was Lu Binghe and Huang Jin, Pang Hong didn't even have to think about what it was for.
So he was naturally on guard against Jin Yiwei and Dongchang. How could they be easily detected by the other party when they were planning such an important matter. (End of this chapter)
