Chapter 1327 Chaos, When Will the Truth Be Proved?
Where is the source of the current unstable situation in the Shenzhou world? In addition to the instigation of those newly promoted Daojuns, the more important thing is that several Yuzun in the Heavenly Court are dissatisfied with the current distribution of benefits in the Shenzhou world.
Each of the Yuzun in the Heavenly Court is extraordinary, with many powerful people under their command. During the ten thousand years, as many immortal gates rose, their power was also constantly increasing.
However, their own strength became stronger, but they did not get the corresponding status and benefits. They were still influenced by those old Daojuns and had to share some of the benefits. This was unacceptable to several Yuzun.
It was for this reason that they mixed with those newly promoted Daojuns, wanting to use external forces to reintegrate the Shenzhou world and take back their own power.
This is the real reason for the current unstable situation between heaven and earth.
As for the dissatisfaction of various large immortal gates, the dissatisfaction of some scattered cultivators, and their resentment of the top immortal gates occupying the benefits, these are just superficial factors. Even these rumors were spread by these Yuzun and the newly promoted Daojun.
In the final analysis, the real strong man in the world is the Dao Lord. Only the Dao Lord is qualified to stir up the world. Even if those large immortal sects and scattered immortals are dissatisfied, they have no way to do anything due to the gap in strength.
If it were not for the support of those newly promoted Dao Lords and the indulgence of these Yuzun, these large immortal sects and scattered immortals would not dare to explode even if they were dissatisfied.
To put it bluntly, if they are willing to abide by the rules now, they can also share part of the benefits brought by the Tianting development plan. If they want to overturn the table, they will inevitably be ruthlessly cleaned up. These top immortal sects are fully capable of replacing them with a group of people.
When the Shenzhou world had not recovered, both the Shenzhou world and the top forces in the Great Wilderness played like this.
In the Ming Empire at that time, no matter how chaotic the rivers and lakes were, the status of the top sects such as Zhenwu Sect and Longhu Mountain would not be shaken. The disruption of the rivers and lakes only replaced some first-class forces and some ordinary Jianghu masters. They still stood at the top level when the chaos in the rivers and lakes subsided.
The same is true for the Great Wilderness World. Regardless of the chaos between the human race and the demon race, or the struggle between good and evil within the human race, the only ones who are constantly changing blood are the middle-level forces, and the positions of the top forces remain unchanged.
With such means, even if they are promoted in the Shenzhou World, their gameplay for these top immortal gates remains unchanged, but the sudden appearance of the Immortal Taoist Lord disrupts their plans.
But even if the appearance of the Immortal Taoist Lord initially affected their gameplay, they still kept trying to turn him into their own class when they could not restrain the Immortal Taoist Lord.
For example, they supported the Shenxiao Sect, and some forces and figures related to the Immortal Taoist Lord. Otherwise, even if the Shenxiao Sect was powerful, it would not be possible to undergo such a transformation in a short period of time.
It is precisely because of this that even a powerful person like Pei Xuanjing had to make some compromises and concessions. After all, he was not alone, so the development of the Taoist Academy also stagnated.
You should know that Pei Xuanjing had great ambitions to establish the Taoist Academy at the beginning. Even if he did not manage it personally, the plan for the entire Taoist Academy had been formulated, and it was definitely not a half-finished product now.
It can be said that if it were not for the conflict of interests between the old Taoist Lords and the Royal Lords, if they joined forces, they could completely use the power of the Heavenly Court to suppress all dissatisfaction, and even if there were some chaos, it would not be the current situation.
With the previous experience of these Royal Lords, even if several Taoist Lords of the Taoist sect wanted to support the Five Old Lords to take the throne to expand the influence of the Taoist sect, they were more worried, worried that after the Five Old Lords took the throne in the future, they would transcend their control and repeat the same mistakes again.
This is very likely. After all, as long as the Five Old Lords sit on the position of the Emperor of Heaven, they will continue to become stronger and it will be absolutely unstoppable. In this way, the five Taoist Lords will become stronger, and it will be another reincarnation.
Therefore, the Taoist Lords of the Taoist sect support the Five Old Lords, but they are not really giving their all without reservation. They also have deep fear and worry in their hearts.
Now that Qing Laojun has lost his power, it is not a bad thing in a way. It means that the time for the other party to become stronger has been delayed, and it is not as strong as originally expected, and the possibility of transcending their control in the future has also become smaller.
For the Taoist monarchs, their purpose is to use the Five Laojuns to seek their own interests, not to want short-term benefits and eventually create a powerful enemy.
On the contrary, the weakening of Qing Laojun now has delayed their perspective of becoming stronger, which is not a bad choice for these Taoist monarchs.
"So, the top priority now is to be safe, otherwise we will completely lose the opportunity." Huang Laojun concluded.
The current situation is very clear. Their failure this time means that they have lost the opportunity to fight for the initiative and have no ability to grasp their own dominance, at least in the short term.
Willing to accept defeat, since you have lost now, you must recognize the reality, seize every possible opportunity to stabilize the situation, and lie dormant to find opportunities to become stronger again.
The situation they will face next will definitely not be easy. At least the competitors and opponents within the Taoist sect will inevitably launch a crazy counterattack, trying to seize this opportunity to bring them down.
While the Five Elders and others were discussing their next choices, all parties began to make different deductions about this incident.
This conflict seemed to be just a fight between several True Immortals of the Sixth Heaven. Even if it was a fight between True Lord Bai Qicang and Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin, in the end, no Dao Lord would personally take part.
So in terms of the level of the conflict, it was not as high as the Dao Lords who fought in the Primal Chaos Void, nor as high as the fight between the True Immortals in the Ten Thousand Dharma Realms. After all, they didn't even have a True Immortal fall, while the fall and reincarnation of the True Immortals in the Ten Thousand Dharma Realms had almost become commonplace.
However, this conflict had a very far-reaching significance, and the impact it brought was far greater than others.
If the fight between the Jade Emperor and the Taoist Lord Tianji, the fight between these Taoist Lords was a challenge by the Jade Emperor to the old Taoist Lords, which set off the prelude to the chaos, but the chaos that really affected many True Immortals and cultivators still had a period of dormancy.
Then the fight between the Five Old Lords, the Ju Mang Zu Wu, and the Wood Deity Star Lord this time really sounded the horn of the chaotic world, which was not even comparable to the fall of the true immortals in the Wanfa Realm.
The Wanfa Realm is, after all, a trial field created by the Changsheng Dao Lord, and it is given to the strong and true immortals from all sides to fight for magical powers and magic. This is a deliberately created disorderly place, but it is still bound by rules and is within the permission of the Dao Lord.
However, the attack of the Qingling Shi Laojun against the Wood Deity Star Lord was an open and secret struggle within the Taoist sect, and it also broke the tacit understanding of the gods in the heavenly court, and completely put the struggle for the power of the gods on the surface.
You do it on the first day of the month, and I will do it on the fifteenth day.
In the past, everyone could only do these things in private, even if they wanted to suppress their opponents in their hearts, but they still had to abide by the rules in public. At least the laws of the heavenly court were still quite restrictive, and they dared not violate them directly.
But this time, when Qing Lingshi Laojun took action, he completely tore off the original disguise, allowing those strong men who were originally eager to make a move to remove the original constraints and start to make some plans.
As long as Qing Laojun is not punished too severely this time, no matter what the final result is, it will inevitably cause some strong men to follow suit. This is beyond doubt, so this is the real reason why this matter has such a huge impact.
Destruction is always easier than construction. The current stable situation in the Shenzhou world is the result of the joint efforts of Pei Xuanjing, the Taoist monarchs, and various forces. In this process, all parties have made a lot of compromises.
Even if there are frictions between the strong men and forces of all parties, they are restrained within the scope and are all resolved outside the Shenzhou world. It is a situation of not raising or correcting.
Now Qing Laojun's approach is to completely put this matter on the surface, which will inevitably cause a series of influences and break the original rules.
"It seems that the situation in the Shenzhou world will be chaotic next." Bai Qicang said dimly.
Even though this matter has come to a temporary end, he knows that it is only a temporary stop. This matter is not the end, but just a beginning.
"When has the situation in this world ever been truly peaceful again?" Pang Hong, who sat opposite him, said indifferently.
Bai Qicang may have been in seclusion for too long, or he does not care about these things at all, or his strength and status are there, and no one dares to be disrespectful to him at all.
But Pang Hong, as the head of the Shenxiao Sect, knows everything in this world, and he naturally knows that this world is never as peaceful as it seems on the surface.
In the past ten thousand years, the Shenzhou world has developed very rapidly, countless strong people have been born, and all kinds of frost have competed for freedom, showing a prosperous world of cultivation.
But even in the most glamorous and beautiful world, the sun cannot shine everywhere, and there is still darkness behind.
Fighting and fighting are the real side of the cultivation world, and this side has never stopped.
Whether it is the competition between practitioners or the conflicts between various sects, there have always been, but they have never been directly exposed.
"Haha, that's right." Bai Qicang was slightly stunned, chuckled and nodded.
After all, he is also a strong man who rose from the bottom. As a disciple of Zu Tianshi, when he worshipped Zu Tianshi, Longhu Mountain was strong, but it was not truly invincible.
In the process of Longhu Mountain's rise, Bai Qicang also killed countless opponents and destroyed countless enemies.
And don't forget that after he fell out with Zu Tianshi, he left Longhu Mountain and wandered outside for thousands of years. During this time, he also truly saw the various aspects of the world in the cultivation world.
What has been improved is only the power and the level of the world, but the human heart has never changed, because the human heart is always unsatisfied, and the struggle always exists.
"I don't know what Brother Dao is going to do next?" Pang Hong asked.
For him, the current matter can be said to have been revealed, and there is no point in paying attention to it.
No matter what the Five Elders do next or what kind of punishment they receive, it has nothing to do with Pang Hong, and he cannot even show any attitude.
In the entire Taoist sect, the position of the Shenxiao Sect is very special. It has a strong force but is a rising star. Most of the time, he speaks on behalf of his master's will, in the eyes of some people and forces.
This time, my master asked me to intervene in this matter, but he did not tell me more detailed plans, so Pang Hong himself was also in an elusive attitude, and he could not express his position at this time.
The position of the Five Old Lords is an extremely important position in the Taoist sect, which is more important than many people in the outside world think. Similarly, this position must be coveted by many people, and there are always strong people who want to compete for this position.
Now that the Five Old Lords have appeared, there must be someone who wants to use this to drag the Five Old Lords into the water.
For such a fight and conflict, Pang Hong naturally has no interest in getting involved, and he has no covetousness for the position of the Five Old Lords.
However, his own status is destined to not only himself, but also many people behind him. There are also many people who want to take this opportunity to drag them into the water, or use the influence of the Shenxiao Sect or even his own master.
Pang Hong does not want to protect the Five Old Lords, and believes that the other party should be punished for being rash and breaking the rules this time, but he does not want others to take advantage of the Shenxiao Sect and his attitude to pull the Five Old Lords down.
So for his choice, keeping silent at this moment should be the best choice.
"When will Brother Dao become a Taoist?" Pang Hong asked Bai Qicang, diverting the matter.
This is an important question. For Pang Hong, even though Pang Hong and Bai Qicang are not that close, he still asked.
The Taoist is the chess player, the existence at the top. Even though there are differences between the strong and the weak among the Taoists, the Taoists below and the Taoists are two completely different levels.
The appearance of a Taoist is extremely important for any force. No matter how deep the foundation of a large immortal sect is, or how strong its potential is, as long as there is no Taoist, it will inevitably not be able to enter the level of the top immortal sect.
From the perspective of the Taoist sect, Bai Qicang's certification as a True Lord is also a great strength enhancement for their Taoist sect.
From the perspective of the Shenxiao Sect, they currently have a close relationship with Longhu Mountain, and they can be regarded as half an ally. In the next situation, the appearance of a Taoist will also enhance their own strength. (End of this chapter)
