"Although Master Yuzhenzi values this time and recommends you as the first candidate, as long as you have not actually ascended to the position of headmaster for a day, it means that your position is not unshakable."
This was the advice given to him by an elder of Wanfa Yi after his training in the Wanfa Realm.
Within the Shenxiao Sect, there are some original disciples of the Shenxiao Sect. Perhaps because of their own potential, some of them cannot go further to obtain immortality by virtue of their divine status, and they do not have much authority within the Shenxiao Sect.
But these people themselves are old people who followed Pang Hong and Yu Zhenzi to establish the foundation of Shenxiao Sect. They have some special status, and as they are mature, they are also very aware of the thoughts of these people.
Pang Hong and Yu Zhenzi are not wrong to be optimistic about Wan Fayi, but this does not mean that everything is over, but the real beginning of the real test. After all, the existence of other candidates is enough to prove it.
Everything has not yet settled. After all, it is not an exaggeration to choose a successor with a top immortal sect such as the Shenxiao Sect, even if it takes hundreds or thousands of years.
They knew that these two people valued the foundation of the Shenxiao Sect even more than their founder Pei Xuanjing. After all, it could be said that the Shenxiao Sect was their lifelong effort.
This also means that they must be absolutely rational when selecting candidates, with the true development interests of the Shenxiao Sect as the core, and there will be no personal emotions.
Even if they like it at first, when Wanfa reveals his shortcomings and is not recognized by them, he will never tolerate it and will give up decisively.
In fact, even if there is no warning, Wan Fayi himself will not be negligent at all, because as he gets more information, the pressure in his heart also increases.
Although Wan Fayi followed Pei Xuanjing in the past, he was not a high-ranking member of the Shenxiao Sect, and the information he could learn was limited. The competitors he considered were often placed among his peers. People will die among the three generations of disciples from the previous generation to the next generation.
However, the Shenxiao sect has developed over thousands of years. Even if one generation is counted within a thousand years, it is enough to span ten generations of disciples. Not to mention the younger generations of disciples, but the previous generations participated in the battle to confer the gods. Or the disciples who rose up in the golden age after the Conferred Gods War, no less.
Especially when they had just experienced the end of the Conferred God War and entered the resource bonus period of the Heavenly Court Development Plan. At that time, there were not that many disciples of the Shenxiao Sect, and the resources they could share were beyond the imagination of many current disciples.
Those disciples have enjoyed the dividends of the times, and their practice has made rapid progress, and because high-ranking people like Pang Hong have not yet given up their authority, most of them began to look for other paths when the channels for advancement were limited.
Some people go to expand territory and open up a new world for the Shenxiao Sect, some live in seclusion within the Shenxiao Sect and concentrate on practicing, and some go to the Taoist Academy to teach disciples.
Unless we were at Pang Hong's level, we wouldn't have known how many powerful people were hidden within the Shenxiao Sect.
The current Wanfa Yiyi had just gained power, and the number of powerful people he had discovered shocked him. Only at this moment did he realize that this was the foundation of the Shenxiao sect, the top immortal sect overlord, and these powerful people were the gods. The backbone of Xiao Sect.
But these people were with Pang Hong in his era, and they would not disobey Pang Hong's orders. If a junior like Wan Fayi came to the throne, would these people really obey his orders willingly? ?
To be honest, even if Wanfa Yi proves to be a true immortal, there is no guarantee.
So when he participated in this discussion, he wanted to show his abilities and let more people recognize him.
However, when he brought up this idea, Yu Zhenzi and Pang Hong looked a little strange. Yu Zhenzi said quietly: "If you think our Shenxiao sect's status is higher than the other two parties, you can really impose prohibitions." Stop this? ”
Wan Fa was stunned and heard Yu Zhenzi say: "If this had worked, the current situation would not have developed to what it is now."
It is true that the Shenxiao Sect is the overlord of the top immortal sects, and Pei Xuanjing, the best Taoist in the world, is in charge, but it does not mean that they can really force one party to bow its head.
Wan Fayi comes from the Shenxiao Sect, so he can understand the power of the Shenxiao Sect. After all, people like them are walking in the outside world, and it is definitely useful to say the name of the Shenxiao Sect.
However, whether it is the former Wan Fa Yi or the current Wan Fa Yi who has proven to be a true immortal, even if they have conflicts with other top immortal sects, the interests involved are only insignificant, at least compared to the top immortal sects. As for the door itself.
Under such circumstances, it is natural to feel that the name of Shenxiao Sect is enough to intimidate many immortal sects, and even some top immortal sects are afraid of it.
But if the level of interests is raised to that of the entire Immortal Sect, even the reputation of the Shenxiao Sect will not be enough to make the other party give up and give in.
Any Dao Lord or top immortal sect is at the pinnacle level and has its own will and goals. They may give in on some trivial matters, but when it comes to core interests, no party will tolerate it. .
The method of forcing a cow's head to drink water is simply impossible.
"With the power of our Shenxiao sect, it is not suitable to do this at all. Sometimes, let alone a forced order, even if you come out to be a middleman or peacemaker, it may be misunderstood and have the opposite effect." Pang Hong opened his mouth to explain, his tone was gentle, but he didn't feel that Wan Fayi had said anything wrong.
Wan Fayi's idea is correct, and he is from the standpoint of the Shenxiao Sect. If it were some ordinary immortal sect forces that are attached to the Shenxiao Sect, and they stand up to ease the conflict, even if they cannot really resolve the grievances, Just delaying the conflict is a good choice.
But at the level of Dao Lord and top immortal sects, this approach has no effect at all. Even because of the power of the Shenxiao Sect, they will be even more repulsive and do not want the Shenxiao Sect to interfere in core matters related to them.
They will never be manipulated by others. The intervention of Shenxiao Sect will not have any effect, but will have the opposite effect.
Over the past ten thousand years, the Shenxiao Sect has been one of the most powerful forces in heaven and earth. Pei Xuanjing was also the initiator of the development of heaven. He has brought benefits to so many people and has unimaginable prestige.
But the current situation has developed to what it is now. In the final analysis, it is still a conflict of interests. If Pei Xuanjing's power can really prevent the conflict between the two forces, then the situation in the world will not evolve to what it is now, or at least it can be slowed down. More time is coming. To put it bluntly, although the Shenxiao Sect is now the overlord of the top immortal sects, in the eyes of all parties, it is not a huge threat. They are always on guard against such a behemoth as the Shenxiao Sect.
After all, it was his own position. Faced with an existence that was a threat to him and needed to be vigilant, it would be hard not to make people feel disgusted when he started to interfere in his own affairs.
Every force has its own position, and the Shenxiao Sect also has its own position. This means that even as peacemakers, they have their own interests. In the eyes of both parties, your move is sacrificing your own interests to make up for it. Own.
For example, this time, the conflict between Xuantian Sect and the Heretic Alliance did not temporarily open up. The Shenxiao Sect stepped forward and made peace. As for Xuantian Sect, you are protecting the Heretic Alliance. Have you reached some cooperation?
From the perspective of the Heretic Alliance, could it be that you Shenxiao Sect and Xuantian Sect have some collusion deal and want to sell out the interests of our Heretic Alliance, so they use us as a bargaining chip to put pressure on us together.
This is when people's hearts are most unpredictable, especially when it comes to one's own interests.
"In the final analysis, we are looking at it from the standpoint of outsiders. We believe that the heretic alliance can pose a threat to Xuantian Sect, and at least it is possible to drag them into the water and hurt both sides." Yu Zhenzi sneered and said: "But for Xuantian Sect, They do not think that the Heretic Alliance is qualified to stand alongside them and cannot pose a threat to them. It is precisely because of this that they dare to ignore the Heretic Alliance in such a direct humiliation."
"Guess, if we tell Xuantian Sect directly that the heretic alliance may threaten you, will Xuantian Sect believe it? If Xuantian Sect doesn't believe it, that's fine, but if it believes it and takes action in advance in order to choose to stifle the crisis, then What role do we play in this?" Pang Hong said with a complex expression.
Some things can only be detected by oneself, and no one can completely believe what outsiders say.
They have dealt with the Heretic Alliance a lot, so they know the potential of the Heretic Alliance, and they know that as long as they are given time to settle, they can bring danger to Xuantian Sect.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
The Xuantian Sect was not aware of this, which was why they did this. After the Shenxiao Sect reminded them, if they decisively attacked the outsider alliance, they would take the blame.
"So now for us, even though we know that this matter may break out, we can only sit back and watch, letting the two parties solve it on their own, even if it is very likely to damage our plans and interests." Wan Fa Yi said in a deep voice.
Pang Hong nodded and said: "Yes, our current choice is to wait and see."
Yu Zhenzi also had a smile on his face and said: "Just waiting and watching the changes is the best choice, but it does not mean that waiting for the changes will harm the interests."
"Huh?" When Wan Fa heard this, a glimmer of light burst out in his eyes, as if he had caught something, and he tentatively said: "You mean, we want to reap the benefits?"
After saying this, he hesitated and said: "But, should we do this? They are allies after all."
He understood what Yu Zhenzi meant. Since there was no way to stop the struggle between the two parties, it was better to go with the flow and go with the flow.
Although the conflict between these two parties will occur at some point, which will affect the Shenxiao Sect's profit plans, they can also take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and make up for the lost interests when the conflict breaks out between the two parties.
"Allies, what are allies?" Yuzhenzi looked calm, not feeling that his idea was wrong at all.
"Only collaborators who are truly united and advance and retreat in the same direction can be called allies. If these two parties can work together within the alliance without internal fighting, then everyone will naturally be close allies. But if they fight internally, If it harms our interests, then this alliance has fallen apart and is no longer an ally." Yuzhenzi had his own rhetoric.
I have to say that there is nothing wrong with Yu Zhenzi's rhetoric. It is true that allies cannot betray, but the Xuantian Sect and the Heretic Alliance have to prove that they are indeed allies of the Shenxiao Sect.
If they can work together with the Dao Sect and the Shenxiao Sect to deal with the Jade Emperor and the others, without holding each other back or harming the overall interests of the alliance, they will naturally be reliable allies. Even if the Shenxiao Sect wants to reap the benefits, they will not Chance.
But if they end up fighting, it means that the alliance has been broken. At this time, everyone can no longer be called allies, so naturally there is no need to think too much.
All the initiative lies in the hands of the Xuantian Sect and the Heretic Alliance. The Shenxiao Sect will not take the initiative to promote all this. They will only follow the trend behind the scenes and put the interests of the Shenxiao Sect first.
"First of all, everything we consider is from the standpoint of the Shenxiao Sect, in order to safeguard the absolute interests of the Shenxiao Sect. Furthermore, no matter how this matter develops, we have not contributed to it, but we have If you take advantage of the situation and make up for yourself, no one can blame you." Pang Hong's gentle words were full of unshakable determination.
Everything is from the perspective of the Shenxiao Sect. This matter is just a deduction by the Shenxiao Sect for the future, some backup plans for what may happen, and it is not certain that it will happen.
If the Heretic Alliance and Xuantian Sect could settle the matter and put the overall situation first, then this kind of thing would not happen, and the Shenxiao Sect would not have a chance to take action.
Perhaps the Heretic Alliance has some interactions with the Shenxiao Sect, and their Shenxiao Sect also has a lot of cooperation with the Xuantian Sect, but if it really hurts the interests of the Shenxiao Sect, there is no need to say anything more.
What's more, Xuantian Sect has given a lot of support to the Heretic Alliance in this fight against Buddhism, and there is still some tacit understanding between the two parties. This time, Xuantian Sect is so ignorant and wants to exclude the Heretic Alliance. It is so inconsiderate. Their affection shows that they are also very 'pure'.
When Wan Fa was silent, he suddenly felt that there were many things he needed to learn.
It is true that during the trials of the Ten Thousand Dharma Realm, he also joined forces with various forces and displayed various methods, but it is undeniable that when choosing collaborators, he prefers all the people, or He is a person who has a good impression of himself.
He recalled that during the trials, he would always be more tolerant of those he had identified as 'one of his own', and would not be willing to accept his chosen opponents. (End of chapter)
