One Thousand Six Hundred and Forty-Nine. Fighting for the Relic
Like the Holy Mother Wu Dang, Yan Zhaoge did think of the issue of Sakyamuni's relics.
The recent abnormal behavior of the Western Paradise Pure Land may be trying to find the relics.
In fact, they have been looking for it all along.
To be precise, not only the orthodox Buddhist sect, but also the orthodox Taoist sect, the demon clan, the White Lotus Pure Land, and the Immortal Court are trying their best to find it, and even the Nine Netherworld may not be an exception.
And now, it seems that the Western Paradise Pure Land has made a breakthrough, so they have concentrated their efforts.
This is something worth investing their efforts in.
It is no longer a secret that the Peacock King is pursuing Sakyamuni's relics.
His opportunity to ascend to the realm of Taoism may fall on these Buddha relics left by Sakyamuni Buddha.
In the ancient times, he was defeated by the Taoist Zhunti, so he entered Buddhism, and the golden body with 24 heads and 18 arms he cultivated was also a standard inheritance of the Taoist Zhunti lineage.
Now that he wants to impact the realm of Taoism, it is reasonable to involve the relics left by the Taoist Zhunti.
Although it is not known whether this is the only condition, and whether there are other requirements besides this, this is undoubtedly what he desires most at present.
In Yan Zhaoge's words, this directly created the strongest super mercenary at present.
Whether he really stayed out of the disputes between all parties or was willing to wait for the price, in short, the Peacock King made two moves in this era, all because of the Sakyamuni Relics.
And the two moves of this top powerful man at the top of Daluo were also shocking.
The first time he made a move, he swept through many demon clan saints and minor saints including Yuncheng Wanlipeng, and reversed the crisis that had lasted for many years in the fairy court with his own strength, directly changing the outcome of that war.
The second time he made a move, it was also a huge variable in the process of the Taoist sect's fight for the Zhuxian Formation, and it almost failed.
Now that the Jade Emperor has disappeared and the Great Sage Qitian is in a special situation and it is difficult for him to appear in the world, the Peacock King can almost be called the most powerful Luotian Immortal in name only.
Especially his five-color divine light is extremely domineering, sweeping away everything. For opponents weaker than him, even if they are both Daluo, he can form an extraordinary crushing momentum, so it is particularly threatening to others.
For the current Taoist sect, this Peacock King is very feared.
A hundred years ago, when fighting for the Zhuxian Formation, Yan Zhaoge relied on the Great Sage Equaling Heaven to show his true body, returned to the peak state, and blocked the Peacock King.
But that was not the real Great Sage Equaling Heaven Sun Wukong after all.
The duration is always limited.
If the Peacock King cannot be defeated within a certain period of time, when the time is up, the result will naturally be the Peacock King's victory.
Moreover, after that battle, the three Great Sage golden bodies have not been able to reunite until now, and it takes a long time to cultivate.
Even if they can reunite again, it is unknown how long it will take to refine the Earth Yuan Stone again.
It can be said that at present, and even for a long time afterwards, the Peacock King is a huge threat feared by the Taoist sect.
During this period, if the old peacock wanted to make things difficult for Yan Zhaoge and others, there was no Monkey King to stop him again.
The Immortal Execution Formation is of course possible, but the problem is that it is the capital of the orthodox Taoist sect to check and balance several Taoist ancestors.
The greatest significance of its existence is to control the enemies that the Taoist sect is currently facing directly below the Taoist realm.
In addition, before the Monkey King can return to the peak, facing the Peacock King, Yang Jian will most likely be needed to hold him up.
If he can't hold up, there is no need to say more.
But even if he can hold up, the top figures in the Taoist sect will be distracted, and by then, the ancient Buddha Ran Deng, Lu Ya Daojun and others will inevitably show their power.
Below the Taoist realm, this old peacock is undoubtedly the biggest threat to the orthodox Taoist sect, and it is a real threat.
Fortunately, whether it is said that Kong Xuan has principles or that he is expensive, it seems that at present, if there is no price as heavy as the Sakyamuni Relic, he will not take action.
Whether it was a dispute between two outside sects, a dispute between the demon clan and the Western Paradise, or a fight between the orthodox sect of the same sect and the Nine Netherworld,
he did not intervene in any of them.
Even though he was blunted by the Monkey King in the battle for the Zhuxian Formation, he had no intention of saving face afterwards.
A Sakyamuni relic, if he were to take action once, he would not let it go, but he would not be responsible for the result.
In this way, to a certain extent, he was a potential threat not only to the orthodox sect of the Taoism, but also to other forces, including the Western Paradise where Kong Xuan had been living.
It was just that he had a clear request, and while using his own power as a bargaining chip to seek gains, he was also easily restricted by others, so he did not attract several Taoist ancestors to attack.
As he had more and more Sakyamuni relics, the situation of the Peacock King was actually gradually becoming more and more difficult.
Because everyone had to start considering restraining him.
But as the first person under the Tao realm now, the Peacock King also had his own capital to play games with the help of the disputes between several other forces.
The final result depends on the means of all parties.
"Unfortunately, Master Xuandu doesn't know how many Sakyamuni relics there are, and he is also not sure how many Peacock King needs, and he doesn't know whether he must collect all of them." Yan Zhaoge gently rubbed his temples: "Otherwise, we can do more."
The Holy Mother Wu Dang said: "Although I don't know who has the relics now, even if there are, we will be cautious in transactions with fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, and will not easily give him the relics."
"But if we can find one, it will be a huge bargaining chip, just like the Zhuxian formation in our hands." Yan Zhaoge smiled.
In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to say that Kong Xuan is a small Zhuxian formation.
He cannot compete with the Daozu, but his deterrent power to the existence below the Dao realm is actually very close to that of the Dao realm.
The fact that he can be feared and fought for by all parties shows that he is equivalent to a pseudo-Daozu when several Daozu check and balance each other.
"The Western Paradise of Bliss probably has another clue of Sakyamuni's relic." Yan Zhaoge said: "It is very likely that it comes from Venerable Shangnahexiu and Venerable Ananda."
At that time, the Central Saha Pure Land changed drastically, and Venerable Ananda fell.
But the situation was complicated and chaotic at that time, and it was a time of epochal change, so some things may be buried in the dust of history.
The Buddhist sect has never relaxed its search for this. After many years, it seems that there is a new harvest now.
"If the Peacock King knows the news, it will be lively." Yan Zhaoge thought maliciously.
"Is there any information about the whereabouts of Yuqing's Wuji Xinghuang Flag?" Wu Dang Shengmu asked at this time.
Yan Zhaoge shook his head: "Brother Yang Jian and His Majesty Nanji Changsheng have been looking for it in recent years, but there has been no actual progress so far."
