The situation is about to be chaotic, and everyone has their own ideas. Some people just want to be alone in this chaos, while some people want to take this opportunity to soar into the sky and gain more.
Those large immortal sects, many true immortals, and the new Taoist Lords have their own plans and calculations. They want to take advantage of this chaotic situation to fish in troubled waters and gain enough benefits for themselves.
Even Pei Xuanjing himself has some ideas of his own and wants to plan something to take himself further. So why don't other Dao Lords have their own calculations and ideas?
For many veteran Dao Lords, their consensus is that they want to take this opportunity to revive the situation in the Chinese world that has the tendency to become a backwater, so that the Chinese world can take a further step, and then they You can also take advantage of the rising tide to lift all boats.
This purpose is the same, not only for many veteran Tao Lords, but also for those new Tao Lords. It makes no sense to everyone.
But in this Chinese world where the rising tide lifts all boats, how much profit share one should obtain is open to debate, or it cannot be determined at all.
For some Dao Lords, they think that their share is enough, so they prefer to be conservative and content with the status quo. They only need to keep their own one-third of an acre of land and their existing interests. Shares will not be lost.
Some Dao Lords originally have a relatively small share of interests, so at this time they naturally want to take the opportunity to obtain more shares. At least they think that their strength should obtain more interests. This is considered Relatively radical existence.
There are also some Dao Lords who have already occupied a considerable share, but in the next situation they not only want to occupy their existing share of interests, but also want to obtain more Share, improve your status, and improve yourself even more.
For Dao Lord with such an idea, they naturally have to take action. They cannot let everything go on according to other people's plans, at least not to let the other party go smoothly.
As one of the most powerful forces in the world, Daomen can almost be called the most powerful force in the world with the presence of Pei Xuanjing.
Even if Pei Xuanjing does not interfere in many affairs of the Taoist sect, after all, he does not even bother to take care of the affairs of his own Shenxiao sect, but no matter what, he was born in the Taoist sect, and his status as one of the giants of the Taoist sect cannot be erased.
This is an invisible deterrent. As long as Pei Xuanjing exists, there will inevitably be a series of influences. That subtle influence is enough to bring a lot of power to the Taoist line.
There is no doubt about the prosperity and strength of Dao Sect over the years. No party will want to be suppressed all the time. It would be fine if there is no chance, but if there is a chance, they will definitely not mind reacting. .
Just like the Qingling Shi Laojun takes action this time, as long as the Qingling Shi Laojun succeeds, then there will be one more Taoist Lord in the Taoist sect, and the power of the Taoist sect will increase, and the right to speak in the heaven will also increase. increase.
There are only so many interests in the world of China, and they are all divided up by various forces. When one party becomes stronger, it will naturally want to obtain more interests, and if there are no new sources of interests, then the interests of other parties will inevitably be compressed.
For those casual cultivators, the existence of sects erodes more interests, and they can only eat scraps.
Then for small sects, the same is true for large celestial sects; and for large sects, the same is true for the existence of top celestial sects.
The same is true for larger forces such as Taoism, Demonism, Buddhism, Confucianism, etc.
Internal fighting is the nature of all forces, but it is also their nature to stick together.
In the absence of external threats, many factions will naturally form within a force to fight among themselves. However, under the threat of external forces, this force will naturally unite as long as it does not want to perish.
Just as the threat of monsters existed in the world of China back then, even though the strong men within the human race had different paths and different understandings of practice, they did not say that one party must be destroyed. Temporarily control the struggle within a certain range.
After the Battle of the Conferred Gods, the demon tribe was expelled. Without external threats, all the forces within these human tribes would almost fight for their interests. If it were not for the opportunity to open up the heaven, It is possible to search for resources and benefits, and I am afraid that fierce internal fighting has already broken out within the world of China.
But now, this conflict has reached its peak, and even the benefits brought by the heaven development plan cannot cover it up.
The divisions between the various forces within the human race are also very complicated. Each party can be divided into countless camps horizontally and vertically according to its own practice system, practice concepts, and cognition of heaven and earth.
But in the overall division of camps, it is ultimately divided into Taoism, Buddhism, Demonism, Confucianism, and some camps that are neither Confucian, Taoist, Buddhist, or demonic, such as the Sword Sect, the Wushen Sect, and the Wanling Sect. , an independent camp.
Compared to the ebb and flow of power between Buddhism, Demons, Taoism and Confucianism, even if a particularly powerful presence appears on one side in a short period of time, it will not affect its own interests, but for the other parties For example, if a certain party is particularly powerful, it may squeeze its own living space.
With the Sword Emperor at the helm, and the strong individual strength of the Jianxiu lineage, the Sword Sect seems to be unparalleled, but in fact there are some hidden worries, especially when they face Taoist sects.
The birth of sword cultivator is nothing more than the evolution of the warriors from the ancient times, as well as the inheritance left by some strong men who were good at swordsmanship among the original Taoist, Buddhist, Confucian and Demonic sects.
So at some levels, swordsmanship can actually be regarded as a derivative inheritance of these factions, or it can belong to them. However, after these years of development, swordsmanship has actually become independent.
Compared with the unique characteristics of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Demonism, even if there are sword cultivators, their own characteristics of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Demonism are stronger, and they are generally not considered to be pure sword cultivators.
But Taoism is different. Taoism is the way of inaction that embraces all things. Even if the sword cultivation is pure and one sword can break all laws, from some aspects it is still the purpose of Taoism.
Therefore, for Jian Zong, they are very wary of Tao Sect and do not want to be integrated by Tao Sect again and taken under their command.
I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. The process of opening up the way of swordsmanship was so difficult in the past. Now such a glorious and powerful line of swordsmanship naturally wants to be independent and is never willing to succumb to the Taoist sect. After all, this is not It's just a matter of fame, it's also a matter of luck.
If it were in the past, even if the Taoist sect was powerful, there were many strong men of the sword cultivator lineage. They also had the power to compete, and they were not worried about the annexation of the Taoist sect at all. The other party did not have such power. But when the world of Shenzhou recovered, the Immortal Taoist Lord came out of the blue. Not only did he carry forward the lineage of Shenxiao, but he also allowed the power of the Taoist sect to once again stand at the peak position, vaguely meaning that he was the head of all sects. .
As for the existence of the Jianxiu lineage, there are different opinions within the Taoist sect. Some think that since they have been separated, they should go out. There is no need to take it back, because there are many sects that have separated from the Taoist sect.
The Taoist sect is called the leader of all sects, not only because of their strong strength, but also because they have the qualifications. It is needless to say that the Taoist sect is ancient. It is not only swordsmanship, but also the demonic sect and the Buddhist sect. Based on their derivatives, the saying that Buddha is originally the Tao and demons are originally the Tao is not a false statement.
If the sword cultivator lineage has to be taken back just because it has become stronger, then some sects in the Demon Sect were also separated from the Taoist sect in the first place. Do they want to take it back? There are also some sects in Buddhism that left Taoism. Should we take them back now?
Therefore, some strong people think that they are Taoist Wuwei. Since they have gone out, they have gone out so that they can get together and disperse easily. They can at most be allies and there is no need to take them back.
The attitude of these people is actually like that of the original big companies. Since someone has gone out to start a business, even if we have some original shares, there is no need to involve ourselves. It is enough to make some money and reap some benefits.
But there are other ideas in the same Taoist sect. They do not agree with these people’s plans. After all, sword cultivation is different from the magic sect and Buddhist sect. This sword cultivation is purely compatible with the Taoist sect, even if it is taken back. It will not affect the inside of the Taoist sect, but will also enhance the strength of the Taoist sect. Therefore, they want to bring the sword cultivator lineage under their command to enhance the power and influence of the Taoist sect.
No one on the two sides can convince the other. In addition, although the Taoist sect is powerful, it is precisely because of its great power and too many branches that it lacks a single person who can control the world. Everyone is doing it on their own. Its matter.
In fact, when Pei Xuanjing rose up, as a member of the Taoist sect, he had strong power and support behind him. He could completely integrate the power of the Taoist sect and unify the Taoist sect.
But it is a pity that Pei Xuanjing is too lazy to manage his own Shenxiao sect. He is devoted to Taoism, so he is not willing to spend time and energy to get involved in these messy things within the Taoist sect.
After all, to put it bluntly, the various branches within the Taoist sect also have great conflicts and differences. Even if he can unify them with his ability, it will still take a lot of effort and time.
If this matter can bring huge benefits to himself, Pei Xuanjing may still consider it, but in the current situation, Pei Xuanjing's unintegrated Taoist sect has already stood at the pinnacle of the world, even if Even if he succeeds, it won't bring him any more gains, so he naturally doesn't have this idea.
Therefore, the Taoist sect is still doing its own thing. Some powerful people continue to watch with a cold eye, while some Taoist monarchs begin to try to do this. The existence of the Five Laojun is one of them.
Of course, Pei Xuanjing doesn't want to get involved. This is his idea. He is noncommittal about the actions of these people. He never cares about what they do, let alone any help.
But even so, the combined power of these people is an extremely terrifying force, making the strong men of the Sword Sect feel threatened.
Because they don't know Pei Xuanjing's thoughts, they are also worried that Pei Xuanjing's thoughts will change. After all, no one is sure that the other party will always have this attitude.
Therefore, for the Sword Emperor and the Sword Cultivator lineage, they would never say to sit still and wait for death. They would just watch the Tao Lord of the Tao Sect plan and do nothing. They would definitely make some counterattacks and attempts.
This is why the Sword Emperor chose to support Emperor Gouchen at this time, so that the other party could reach a tacit understanding with the Witch God Sect.
As for Wanling Daojun's approach, it is actually simpler, because this is how weak people like them join the team to keep warm.
As the top immortal sect, Wanling Sect, and Wanling Daojun as the veteran Taoist, their status in this world is also at the pinnacle, but it depends on who they are compared with.
If compared with those ordinary immortal sects, ordinary true immortals, and Tao Lords, he is naturally the overlord of one side, and the tiger dominates the other.
But if compared with the behemoth of Dao Sect, compared with Changsheng Dao Lord, or even compared with several Dao Lords from Dao Sect combined, there is no need to say that he is on the weaker side.
Even if the Taoist sect only has the idea of annexing the sword cultivator, it has no intention of targeting the Wanling Sect.
But as a weak person, in this pack of tigers and wolves, it is instinct to stick together with each other. He cannot just watch the Taoist sect become stronger day by day. Even if the other party has no idea at first, the Taoist sect continues to grow stronger. It will bring the impact of distance to them.
"The existence of the powerful is itself a threat." Pei Xuanjing shook his head slightly and said that there was no surprise at all about the joint planning of the two parties.
He didn't stand at the top when he was born. He rose from the lowest level and reached his current position step by step.
At some point, Pei Xuanjing also felt like this. He also felt his own weakness and the worry of being in the dark forest. When facing a powerful person, even if the other party did not show any malice, but because of his weakness, And cause panic.
Therefore, he can empathize with and understand the concerns of the Sword Emperor and Wanling Dao Lord. There is nothing wrong with what the other party did in his own position. He would be the same way if he were the one. Made.
Human nature will instinctively protect its own interests, especially in an environment where there is insufficient security. There is no problem in choosing any possible means to protect itself.
But understanding is understanding, but Pei Xuanjing does not agree, because from this moment on, the actions of the two of them are on the opposite side of the Taoist sect, or in other words, they are directly on the opposite side of Pei Xuanjing. , affecting some of Pei Xuanjing's interests.
As one of the leaders of the Taoist sect, even if Pei Xuanjing does nothing, as long as the sect becomes stronger, he himself will be able to gain enough. This is why he allows the Taoist sect to take various actions.
Because based on Pei Xuanjing's status, as long as he succeeds in any direction of the Taoist sect, he is the winner and can gain benefits. (End of this chapter)
