Emperor Ziwei was born in Tianji Pavilion, and he knows the nature of Buddhism better than anyone else. He knows that those bald donkeys have no good intentions and will never say that they are really dedicated to helping him and others. Joining forces with those people is to seek the skin of a tiger, and there will definitely be no good end. .
In the final analysis, their current position has not really reached the end of their rope. Sometimes they join forces with Buddhism, but they will cheat themselves.
After all, although Buddhism is powerful, it also has many enemies. Otherwise, why would the Taoist sect and the Demonic sect join forces to drive away the Buddhist sect?
The fight between the three parties of Buddhism, Demon and Taoism is very fierce. In some cases, the struggle for orthodoxy outweighs the struggle for interests. It would be fine if the forces of the three parties were balanced, but the forces of the three parties are not balanced. .
It seems that the three parties of Taoism, Buddhism, and Demonic Sect are competing against each other, but among them, Taoist Sect is the strongest, Buddhism is the second, and Demonic Sect is the weakest.
According to common sense, it is usually the weak who form a group to fight against the strong, and the Buddhist and Demonic sects join forces to resist the power of the Taoist sect.
However, in fact, it is the Taoist sect that often joins forces with the Demonic sect to suppress the Buddhist sect. The Demonic sect would rather be alone than join forces with the Buddhist sect. This proves how deep the contradiction between the two parties is.
That's fine, but in addition to the Demonic Sect and the Taoist Sect, even the Confucianism and the Sword Sect, as well as some large immortal sects and ancient divine dynasties, their relationship with the Buddhist sect is also Not good, conflicts and frictions often occur.
It can be said that because of Buddhism’s domineering style, it has made enemies everywhere, but because Buddhism is so powerful, there is nothing that can be done by all parties.
If Buddhism is seeking an alliance because of its strength, it will invisibly arouse the disgust of other parties. When the time comes, Buddhism will not have any influence, but will inflame itself.
Moreover, Buddhism has an obvious attitude of taking advantage of them. The Taoist sect teamed up with the Demonic sect to kick them out of heaven once, but this time not only did they not take warning, but they also wanted to use the Jade Emperor to stick to the Taoist sect. This shows that they have no regard for the Taoist sect. Also very afraid.
On weekdays, I have some connections with Buddhism, just to check and balance the Taoism, but if I really lead the wolf into the house at this time, big problems will arise. At that time, I am afraid that the Taoist side will hit them even harder.
"No matter what kind of conflicts there are among the old Taoist monarchs nowadays, they are vaguely very repulsive to Buddhism. If we cooperate with Buddhism, to some extent, they will be able to abandon their previous suspicions and join forces to deal with it. We." Emperor Ziwei warned, believing that the Jade Emperor could understand what he meant.
In the final analysis, it is a struggle of interests between them and those veteran Tao Lords, and even if there is a conflict between the two parties, plus the fact that the Tao Lord will not fall, as long as they can gain an advantage, under certain circumstances Peace can be restored.
In the final analysis, as long as the Dao Lord does not die, as long as both parties do not give up, no one is destined to be able to occupy the interests for a long time, and there will inevitably be continuous struggles. This is just the first time.
Even if they win this time, they have become vested interests, and those losers will stay dormant again, and there will be another day in the future where they will stir up trouble and seize power.
But no matter how the two sides fight, the power is in the hands of both sides, and the heaven is also in the hands of the veteran Taoist kings and their royal masters.
But bringing in outsiders like Buddhism to intervene in the Heavenly Court is a bit of a scapegoat. It will definitely make those people even more angry, and they really choose to overturn the table.
"It seems I was negligent." The Jade Emperor frowned and said in a deep voice.
Whether the anger on his face just now is real or fake, it is very certain that the attitude shown by Emperor Ziwei is very repulsive towards cooperation with Buddhism.
And after listening to Emperor Ziwei's analysis, he suddenly felt that his cooperation with Buddhism needed to be carefully considered.
Not to mention whether the connection between Buddhism and Taoism is true or false, it is just a matter of hypocrisy and coercion, and he still wants to use himself as a raft and seek benefits for Buddhism.
Just like what Emperor Ziwei said, although Buddhism is not small in power, it also has many enemies in the sea of the heavens. Many strong people and forces are dissatisfied with Buddhism.
If it is simply because of cooperation with Buddhism, it is not a good choice to establish many enemies for no reason and push these people to the opposite side.
You must know that what you want to do is not only break the control of those veteran Taoists over Heaven. This is just the first step of your plan. If you want to truly control Heaven, you naturally need to obtain More recognition from powerful people and forces.
If cooperation with Buddhism arouses disgust from all parties, even if they reluctantly cooperate at the beginning and wait for the second step of the plan, they will inevitably become the target of public criticism. This must not be done.
This matter was put aside for the time being, and then the Jade Emperor began to talk about another matter: "I heard that you encountered resistance in conquering many star gods."
The two of them met in real life. After confronting the old Dao Lord, there was no need to hide anymore, and they decisively began to eliminate dissidents in the heaven and seize authority. Anyone who was unwilling to surrender to them would either be suppressed or deprived of their authority.
Fortunately for the Jade Emperor, he has been prepared for these things, and even though there are some strong gods under his command, they all have families and businesses behind them. Some threats and inducements can only temporarily surrender power even if one is dissatisfied.
For these gods who are willing to hand over their power, the Jade Emperor cannot do too much in the first place. Even if he knows that these people are extremely dissatisfied, if he is too cruel, it will make other people die and be miserable, so he can only Drive these away.
However, his actions were at least smooth. At least there was no Dao Lord among the people he had to deal with. Even these people, who were some powerful men from the Sixth Level of True Immortal, had no ability to compete against the Jade Emperor.
But the Emperor Ziwei in front of him is different. The Star God lineage is one of the most powerful forces in the heaven. Among them, apart from Emperor Ziwei, the Royal Lord is one of the Tao Lords. In addition, there is a Lord of Huode Xing who is also a Lord of Tao.
Even though Emperor Ziwei has been suppressing and secretly suppressing Lord Huodexing over the years, with the power of Lord Dao, he has also recruited many subordinates.
What’s more important is that Huode Xingjun himself is not a casual cultivator. There is a divine dynasty behind him. That divine dynasty has been controlled by him for ten thousand years. Such a powerful force can completely compete with Zi Emperor Wei fought against each other.
It would be fine if there was just Lord Huodexing. Anyway, because of his position as the Royal Lord, it is justifiable to suppress the opponent, and he can also gain many advantages.
But in addition to Huode Xingjun, Nandou's lineage is very troublesome. Although they are from the Star God lineage, Nandou and several Xingjun never think that they are subordinates of Emperor Ziwei. They have always regarded the Antarctic Imperial Palace as their subordinates. Claiming to be his subordinate.
Under the banner of Immortal Dao Lord, several Star Lords from Nandou tried to defeat Emperor Ziwei. They even flirted with Lord Huode Xingjun and won over many Star Gods.
Even if Changsheng Daojun does not have any attitude now, to some extent, not expressing his position is a kind of support.
Now several star kings from Nandou are pulling at the tiger skin, which makes some star gods who were originally optimistic about Emperor Ziwei feel hesitant and seem to have neutral intentions. This makes Emperor Ziwei a little bit worried. There are many ways to describe neutrality.
Your friends are neutral and support your enemy in a certain way; friends of your enemy are neutral and support you in a certain way.
"Si Ming and the others are nothing to worry about. As long as there is no proof for one day, there will be no threat to Daojun at all. The only threat is Huo De!" Emperor Ziwei had murderous intent in his eyes.
Even though Lord Huode Xing is a Dao Lord with the support of the divine dynasty behind him, his true foundation is not in the heaven. The power that can truly be mobilized in the heaven is limited.
From the perspective of Emperor Ziwei, he has the reputation and the support of many star gods under his command. Even if it is slowly eroded, he can take advantage and continue to force Lord Huode to retreat.
With righteousness in hand, eroding authority has a huge advantage. As long as the other party does not directly overturn the table, he can continue to do it. And even if the other party does overturn the table, there is no telling who has the advantage.
However, Huode Xingjun has already received the support of a powerful force. With the support of this force, his plan was stillborn.
"Huh?" There was some curiosity in the Jade Emperor's expression, and he asked: "Has any force intervened?"
"Witch God Sect! People from the Witch God Sect began to support Lord Huodexing, and even Originally, some people from Houtu also started to support Huode," Emperor Ziwei said coldly.
As the top force, the Witch God Sect does not interfere in the affairs of Heaven, but as a veteran Taoist ruler and one of the original founders of Heaven, the Witch God Sect also has many people in Heaven.
In recent years, many gods on the side of the Witch God Cult have kept a low profile. They can be said to be impartial in the heaven and treat all parties gently. With the power of the Witch God Cult, no one is targeting them.
But at this time, the gods of the Witch God Sect moved closer to Huode Xingjun, which undoubtedly increased the power of Huodexingjun.
"Witch God Cult!" The Jade Emperor's eyes were filled with divine light, as if he had thought of something.
He also has some connection with the Witch God Cult. The original Wu God Cult was also the top force that initially cooperated with him. He obtained a lot of things with the help of the Wu God Cult and suppressed Confucianism. The power of Confucianism caused Confucianism to split into two.
Originally, after ascending to the throne of Emperor of Heaven, his idea was to use the power of the Witch God Cult to break the constraints imposed on him by the strong men from other parties, even if he had to pay part of the benefits for this.
Who would have expected that the Witch God Cult would not take it seriously, and did not care at all about the many benefits he had thrown out, and simply curled back, which undoubtedly made his plan fail.
"I am very sure that it is the Witch God Sect. If it were not for the overall attitude of the Witch God Sect, the gods of Houtu would not have reacted at this time." Emperor Ziwei was impatient.
Houtu Yuzun is as low-key as Emperor Changsheng. Although they are both one of the six emperors, the other party only guards one-third of an acre of his own land. As long as no one interferes with Yinsi Youming, Houtu Yuzun will not have any Too big of a reaction.
If it weren’t for the will of the leader of the Wushen Cult this time, or the thoughts of the entire Wushen Cult, Houtu Yuzun would never let anyone take action at this time.
You must know that although Hou Tu’s sphere of influence is only in the land of the mountain gods in the Yinsi Netherworld and the Shenzhou world, it does not mean that there are no subordinates in the heaven. Although the number of these people is not large, each of them is powerful. Extraordinary.
Any one of these people can easily suppress Emperor Ziwei, but now they are united, but they have caused him a lot of trouble.
“It seems that the Wushen Cult has become involved with this Huodexingjun.” The Jade Emperor said, “Huodexingjun and Wu Zhurong, the ancestor of fire, complement each other.”
"It seems that the Witch God Cult has a big plan!" Emperor Ziwei also said in a gloomy tone.
The Witch God Sect was originally the top immortal sect in the world, and even the most powerful existence among these top immortal sects. Now it has attracted Lord Huodexing, although it is not known what the two parties have reached. agreement, but there is no doubt that this is not good news for them.
“It’s not us who should be anxious.” The Jade Emperor shook his head slightly, but he was not as anxious as Emperor Ziwei showed.
It is undeniable that the combination of Lord Huodexing and the Wushen Cult is a powerful force, but it cannot be said that this is necessarily a bad thing. From a certain level, it may not be a good thing.
“Want to hear the details!”
"The current situation of heaven and earth is unfavorable to us. Otherwise, we would not stand up and try to break the current situation." The Jade Emperor said slowly.
Of course, Emperor Ziwei cannot deny what he said. After all, they stood up to cause trouble because they suffered a loss, hoping to gain more benefits.
But what is going on with the Witch God Sect? The Witch God Sect was originally a top-notch immortal sect, and it occupies a lot of interests in the heavens. Now that they are united with Huode Xingjun, their power is even stronger, so isn’t it even more powerful? Hard to shake.
"That's not the case. For us, the Witch God Cult is a powerful force that cannot be easily shaken. But for other forces, does the power of the Witch God Cult also pose a threat?" Jade Emperor He said quietly, Emperor Ziwei was thoughtful after hearing the words.
Indeed, the power of the Witch God Cult is not a benefit to them at present, but they should not look at this matter in isolation.
While this Witch God Cult poses a major threat to them, it also poses a huge threat to other parties.
The balance of forces has never been separate. The Witch God Sect now occupies a considerable amount of interests, and their power has become stronger, even if they do not deliberately and actively plunder the interests of other forces.
But for those forces, the moment the Witch God Cult becomes more powerful, it is a great threat in itself. When this threat exists, they will inevitably be vigilant and even unite, which will Cause a series of chain reactions. (End of this chapter)
