Chapter 1137: Divine Sky Is Dissatisfied, Jade Emperor Is Worried
Some people do business that costs lives, but no one cares about business that loses money. This is just paying, without any return, how can these strong people be willing.
It can be said that there are many people in the entire Shenxiao Sect, and even in the Taoist system, who are dissatisfied with the Daming Dynasty. It is only with the prestige of Pei Xuanjing and the means of Pang Hong that all these unstable factors are suppressed, and they did not make any trouble.
However, the premise of all this is that the Daming Dynasty honestly holds the interests in its hands, and does not try to make other moves to let these people find reasons to make use of the topic.
Although there are various reasons for the end of the Conferred God, it is undeniable that Zhu Houcong can sit in the position of the Jade Emperor, in fact, a large part of the reason is the existence of Pei Xuanjing.
The head of the Six Imperials, the Lord of the Heavenly Court, the heaven and earth respected by heaven and earth, even if it is a position similar to a puppet, cannot really rule the world and make laws.
However, such a noble throne, with its weight of authority, is enough to attract many powerful people to covet it and want to take it into their arms.
If there is no support from Pei Xuanjing and no support from him, how can the other true immortals be willing to give in and give this throne to Zhu Houcong so easily.
Not to mention that he is the master of the Ming Dynasty, and has the inheritance of the ancient human race, he needs to rely on the luck of the Ming Dynasty and the golden book and jade book to open up the heaven.
These are not indispensable or irreplaceable things. Pei Xuanjing could create a dynasty at the beginning, and these true immortals can definitely do it if they are willing.
All because of the existence of Pei Xuanjing, Zhu Houcong's possession of these has become his advantage, otherwise these are not only not advantages, but his death warrant.
Therefore, Jade Emperor Zhu Houcong should be grateful to Pei Xuanjing the most. Even if Pei Xuanjing doesn't care, the strong men of Shenxiao Sect care.
But what did this Jade Emperor do after ascending to the throne of the Emperor of Heaven?
The first reaction of the Jade Emperor, who was helped by the Taoist Master Pei Xuanjing, after ascending to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, was to find a way to seize his own power. He even used some of the authority given by the Taoist Master Changsheng to infiltrate and erode the power of the Southern Emperor Changsheng.
This was something that the strong men of the entire Shenxiao Sect, even Pang Hong, could not tolerate.
Because in their view, the other party was ungrateful and had crossed the river to destroy the bridge.
You should know that the authority of the Heavenly Emperor was indeed restricted, but restricting the authority of the Heavenly Emperor was the common will of all the True Immortals. They took action together and did not allow a Heavenly Emperor with all the power to appear.
And because the Southern Emperor Changsheng, one of the Six Imperials, also seized part of the authority of the Heavenly Emperor, Pei Xuanjing gave him great help and gave up a considerable amount of authority, which increased the authority of the Jade Emperor. The rest were nothing more than staying to ensure the operation of the Southern Emperor Palace and the interests of the Shenxiao Sect.
And in Pang Hong's view at the time, the two sides were in a cooperative relationship. They had always supported the Jade Emperor, the Emperor of Heaven. Even if the other party wanted to seize the power, the target they should choose should not be the Southern Great Emperor, but other Yuzun.
After all, in their view, the other Yuzun were completely in a situation of not listening to orders, and the other party did not cooperate at all and did not respect the authority of the Jade Emperor. Even if they wanted to take action, they had to find those Yuzun to do it.
And if he did this, there would be help from Pang Hong and others. Even if Pei Xuanjing was limited by his status and could not take action, with many strong men of the Shenxiao Sect, Pang Hong and others could also give great help to the other party.
But the Jade Emperor actually took action against them, which was a bit too much. In the eyes of the strong men of the Shenxiao Sect, the other party was a wolf and a dog, and did not take their ancestor Changsheng Daojun in their eyes.
This was something that the strong men of the Shenxiao Sect could not tolerate. You must know that for these people, they can say that everything comes from the ancestor Changsheng Daojun.
You should know that the elders of the Shenxiao Sect followed the Taoist Changsheng before the world was revived. Before the rise of the Taoist Changsheng, they were like rats in the dark, always in a state of panic, and had no chance to truly stand between heaven and earth.
It was not until the appearance of Pei Xuanjing that they had the opportunity to truly stand between heaven and earth. Then the emperor continued to become stronger and seized resources for them, which allowed them to step by step to where they are today.
For them, if there was no Pei Xuanjing, their qualifications would not support them to reach where they are today. Not to mention where they are today, it is already extremely difficult for many of them to embark on the path of cultivation.
It can be said that they can cultivate to where they are today, all relying on the resources obtained by the Taoist Changsheng Pei Xuanjing. The resources consumed by each of them to reach their current level of cultivation are several times that of other cultivators of the same realm.
For such an existence who leads them to practice and protects them, how can they not be grateful and respect them like a god.
Now, someone is so disrespectful to the ancestor they respect. Even if the ancestor doesn't care, they can't ignore it. They can't allow anyone to be disrespectful to their ancestor.
If it was the dissatisfaction of many powerful people in the entire Shenxiao Sect before, Pang Hong took the initiative to suppress the dissatisfaction and maintain the cooperation between the two parties.
But now, Pang Hong not only did not suppress it, but began to let this trend go, allowing this momentum to ferment in the Shenxiao Sect, and even began to expand to the Taoist temple.
As the saying goes, since you do it on the first day, then I dare to do it on the fifteenth.
At the beginning, I treated you as my own, and when you turned your face and began to stab me in the back, don't think that we don't remember the old friendship.
Therefore, when Pang Hong began to let these people start to spread, these strong men of the Shenxiao Sect took action, which undoubtedly brought a lot of trouble to the Jade Emperor Zhu Houcong.
It is difficult to do things well, but it is easy to do bad things. This is an iron rule that has never changed.
Perhaps these strong men of the Shenxiao Sect, because of their limited strength, could not help much with some of the Jade Emperor's major layouts and plans, but if they wanted to destroy them, it would be particularly easy.
When the conflict between the Jade Emperor and the Shenxiao Sect appeared, the people of the Shenxiao Sect and even the Taoist Academy found that the Jade Emperor's forces were planning something, and they made countless attempts to sabotage and hinder him.
And not only that, there are also a series of reactions caused by these related things, which are all huge impacts.
Just like the Jade Emperor and the Ming Dynasty did gain a lot of benefits with the help of Pei Xuanjing's reputation, but the forces and strong men who lost their interests were inevitably very dissatisfied, but they were afraid of Changsheng Daojun and the Shenxiao Sect, so they held back.
But the current situation is that even the Shenxiao Sect and the Taoist Academy have begun to constantly target the Jade Emperor Zhu Houcong and his forces.
If it was once or twice, it would be fine, but after this happened many times, especially after it destroyed the Jade Emperor's plans several times, making his plans come to nothing.
Although it is unclear what the real reason is, why the originally close cooperation between the two sides turned into enemies, it did not prevent the other forces and strong men from choosing to add insult to injury.
Perhaps these forces and strong men do not have enough power to face the Jade Emperor and the Ming Dynasty. After all, now both the Jade Emperor Zhu Houcong, who is a true immortal, and the forces under his command are the top existences in the world.
But as the saying goes, destruction is always easier than success. These people are not top existences, but they were qualified to share the benefits and be occupied by the Ming Dynasty, which means that they also have certain strength, otherwise they are not worthy of this qualification.
It is indeed easy for these people to find some troubles under the Jade Emperor, and even if the Jade Emperor is a true immortal, and a powerful true immortal, he is only one after all, and he is unable to guard against all possibilities.
You should know that if you are a thief for a thousand days, you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days. And now the power of the Jade Emperor is not only in the Shenzhou world. With the continuous expansion of the Heavenly Court development plan, more and more worlds are discovered, and the forces under his command have also entered more worlds to look for opportunities.
Among these worlds, some worlds are not very powerful, but they are extremely special and can be isolated from external prying. Many things that happen inside are not known to the outside world at all.
Among them, if the people under the Jade Emperor are tripped up by others, they don’t know who the opponent is, and they can’t even find the enemy.
The Heavenly Court development plan is indeed that the true immortals agreed not to fight each other, so as not to leave opportunities for the natives, but this is only the rule on the surface. In some private worlds, especially in the world where the natives cannot threaten them, internal fighting often occurs.
After all, there are only so many opportunities for good fortune in each world. Even if the opportunities for good fortune required by each cultivator are not exactly the same, there are too many strong people in the Shenzhou world, and the competition for these opportunities and fortunes will inevitably be repeated.
On the road of cultivation, every step must be fought for. Although there are true immortals who make agreements, this is only a constraint on the surface. If you really encounter some places that the true immortals cannot monitor, those opportunities that are enough to change their own destiny, it would be strange if these strong men don't fight.
This is the case in the Heavenly Court today. The strong men from all sides are striving to be the first. In places where many true immortals can see, everyone is peaceful and competes fairly, but in fact, in those places that cannot be peeped, all kinds of means will be used, just to plunder enough luck to make themselves go further.
Not only others do this to the Jade Emperor's subordinates, the resources that the Jade Emperor's subordinates obtain continuously are not all obtained by their own hard work to open up the world. No one can be sure whether there are plundering other people's resources.
However, plundering other people's resources is joyful, but being robbed of your opportunities by others is not happy.
Just like the Jade Emperor now, when he heard that there was another newly developed small world and the subordinates he sent in lost contact again, the Jade Emperor was undoubtedly very dissatisfied and even angry.
Because this is not the first time that this has happened. It can be said that in recent years, the subordinates he sent out have been targeted one after another.
The Jade Emperor knew that he was being targeted by various forces. When the Shenxiao Sect showed its targeting of him, the other parties also began to add insult to injury.
He was very annoyed about what happened, but he could not explain it, because there was no way to explain it.
He wanted to take back the power in his hands, and he would conflict with the Shenxiao Sect. This was beyond doubt, and it was only a matter of time.
Now that he is being targeted by the other party, he can't just tell the other party hypocritically that he will never do this thing. This is simply impossible.
Moreover, as a mature emperor, he represents not only himself, but also those behind him. If he retreats, how will his subordinates see him?
Sometimes everyone can not only consider one aspect of what they do, but also consider a series of influences.
The so-called people in the rivers and lakes are not free to do what they want. This sentence is true for anyone. It is not that people with high status and strong strength can really do whatever they want without any constraints.
Even if he is as powerful as Pei Xuanjing, unless he can truly cut off all emotions and ties, otherwise Pei Xuanjing cannot really do whatever he wants. He will still be entangled by external things, need to consider some other influences, and be bound.
Since even a strong man like Pei Xuanjing can't really do whatever he wants and be unrestrained, let alone the Jade Emperor Zhu Houcong?
If you want something, you must be bound. The desire for power of the Jade Emperor Zhu Houcong is so strong, and he wants so much, so he is bound by more and more, and he can't do what he wants.
Standing in this position, in addition to his own strength, he has also been supported by countless people. Those people follow him for various reasons, and they also want something.
Now he has come to this point, it seems that he is in a glorious position and has power, but in fact he is walking on thin ice. He can't retreat, and he dare not retreat.
There are only zero and countless times to retreat. This time he retreated in front of the Shenxiao faction, so he can only retreat next time. If he keeps retreating, how can he get power? Will he be a puppet emperor for the rest of his life? This is not what he wants.
At this moment, the Jade Emperor of Heaven, who seems to be glorious to outsiders, is actually in a dilemma.
He doesn't know how to go on the road next, but he knows that he can't make mistakes in every step, otherwise he will be doomed. (End of this chapter)
