Chapter 1355 Missed Opportunity
"Although this move is full of risks and is a risky operation. But from Zhao Baiyang's point of view, there is no problem with such a move. After all, the opportunity is fleeting." Pang Hong answered his own opinion. His words also recognized Zhao Baiyang's operation in a way.
"Zhengjiu Daojun is full of risks. The opponent's move seems to be full of risks, but he has drawn all parties to his chessboard with his wisdom and effectively utilized the contradictions of all parties. It is considered a success." Yu Zhenzi also nodded in approval.
Yu Zhenzi also knows Zhao Baiyang very well. He and Zhao Baiyang are of the same generation. They have dealt with each other before, and they are even very familiar with each other.
This operation is full of risks in the eyes of many people. It is too gambling to put their lives on it.
But for strong people like them, any top plan is not perfect. When necessary, using themselves as chess pieces may not be the best choice.
Especially since Zhao Baiyang wanted to pursue true independence and not rely on the Dao Lords of all parties, the suppression he faced was far greater than that of any party. Compared with this, this time was nothing.
"I haven't seen you for many years, and this Dao friend is still as charming as ever." Pei Xuanjing smiled slightly, as if he was not surprised by Zhao Baiyang's move.
In Pei Xuanjing's initial rise, he had dealt with Zhao Baiyang a lot. Although the other party seemed to be flexible and not just a tough person, Pei Xuanjing knew that the pride in the other party's bones had never changed.
This kind of countermeasure approach may be a great risk in the eyes of others, but it seems to be a matter of course for Zhao Baiyang.
Even if Pei Xuanjing was in his position, since he encountered the opportunity to prove the Dao Lord, he would naturally not miss it. What is a little risk? If you don't even want to take this risk, how can you think of reaching the peak?
"Then Master, how should we deal with the Outer Dao Alliance next?" Pang Hong asked softly.
He didn't have much dealings with Zhao Baiyang, although at the beginning, all parties believed that the White Lotus Sect was a so-called evil demon, and the Ming Empire was eager to eradicate it.
But Pang Hong never had a grudge against the White Lotus Sect, and he only had a distant attitude towards the White Lotus Sect and even the Outer Dao Alliance.
According to the tacit understanding at the beginning, he and his uncle Yu Zhenzi did not make the decision on some exchanges between the Daojun or the top immortal sects, mainly depending on the attitude of the master.
Even if the Outer Dao Alliance had several powerful people of the fifth and sixth levels of the True Immortal, without the appearance of the Daojun, it was not considered a top immortal sect. They didn't care whether they were friendly or hostile to each other, or ignored each other.
But now the situation between heaven and earth has changed, and the appearance of each Daojun means that the pattern between heaven and earth has changed. Naturally, they also need to make adjustments and consider whether to change their attitude.
Moreover, this time it was not just the leader of the Outer Dao, Zhao Baiyang, who was certified as a Dao Lord this time, together with the Lord of Purgatory and the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. Although it was unclear whether the three parties had any covenant, since they were able to join forces this time, it proved that the connection between the two parties was not shallow.
One newly promoted Dao Lord was nothing, but three newly promoted Dao Lords still needed to be considered, even if they were the Shenxiao Sect.
"These three have a lot of hatred for the Buddhist sect. Although we have suppressed the Buddhist sect in the past, we have not really torn our faces apart. If we show goodwill to them this time, it will inevitably lead to the dissatisfaction of the Buddhist sect." Yu Zhenzi said their considerations and concerns.
Although the Taoist sect has been suppressing the development of the Buddhist sect over the years, this is the will of the Taoist sect as a whole, or the common idea of all the forces that control the power of the Heavenly Court. Their individual top immortal sects have not directly torn their faces apart with the Buddhist sect.
In this case, even if the two sides have some conflicts of interest, these conflicts are not irreconcilable and can be completely resolved at a little cost.
But this time, Zhao Baiyang and the other three Daojuns really stepped on the corpses of several powerful Buddhist masters to ascend to the throne. Although they were seriously injured by the Taoist Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, they recovered from the injuries. From a physical point of view, everyone knows that Buddhism suffered a great loss. With the revengeful character of Buddhism, they will never swallow their anger.
This matter is different from the matter when he sent the Wind and Thunder Saint to stop the Jade Emperor.
Although it was not directly recognized by Pei Xuanjing, it was also a measure implemented by the Shenxiao Sect for a long time.
Even if the Jade Emperor is the Imperial Lord, even if he is a Daojun, and a powerful Daojun, the position and interests of the Jade Emperor are naturally in great conflict with the Shenxiao Sect. It is almost impossible to reconcile between the two sides, so stopping the Jade Emperor is the instinctive choice of the Shenxiao Sect, and no one can change it.
But this time, whether it is to choose Zhao Baiyang and others, or to use this to win over Buddhism, for the Shenxiao Sect, it can actually be chosen, not just one way.
"Why make a choice too early? Why not just wait and see?" Pei Xuanjing looked at the hesitation of the two and whispered the third choice.
The two have done well over the years, but they have not been promoted to Daojun after all. They don't know much about the disputes between Daojuns, and can't really see through the fog.
First of all, although the conflicts and contradictions between Daojuns often involve huge interests, the fights between Daojun masters are completely different from those between True Immortals.
The fight between the True Immortals may cause the True Immortals to fall, reincarnate, or fall into deep sleep. It is completely possible that it is either this or that, and that everything is completely understood.
However, as the monarch of the Tao, the Dao Lord holds the power of the origin of the laws of the Great Dao. If their own power has not been stripped away, they can only be suppressed and cannot fall.
It may be easy to suppress a Dao Lord, but the price to pay to truly wear down the power of a Dao Lord is almost unimaginable. Moreover, once there is a mistake in the middle, it is almost like establishing an opponent who will never stop fighting for the Dao Lord. He himself is not afraid, but his disciples will suffer.
Therefore, if there is no real way to suppress a Dao Lord, even if the conflicts and contradictions between Dao Lords cause a war, they are at a point where they will stop and admit defeat if they are not as good as others. They will not really entangle endlessly.
If you are not as good as others, you will decisively admit defeat and pay a little price to gain a position. If you continue to entangle, you will not only lose face, but also make all parties dissatisfied. For the current Daojun, the only time to suppress the Daojun strongman is at the initial moment of Dao. If even at that time, they cannot really make the opponent fall, then it will be even more difficult to suppress the opponent in the future.
For the Daojun Bodhisattva of Buddhism, their best chance to suppress Zhao Baiyang is before Zhao Baiyang and others have achieved Daojun, but even if they saw this opportunity, they did not seize it.
Not only did the opponent take advantage of the situation and bury several strong men, but in the end, they did not want to face the scene in person, and were blocked by other Daojuns. Not to mention, they did not catch Zhao Baiyang and others when their foundation was unstable, and they could not really suppress them. It can be said that they failed completely.
This is also the reason why the Daojun Bodhisattva of Buddhism did not continue to chase and kill Zhao Baiyang and others when they fled with injuries, and why the other Daojuns agreed to help the Daojun Bodhisattva of Buddhism.
This is the last test, and it is also a decent one. If Zhao Baiyang and others cannot compete with the two Taoist Bodhisattvas of Buddhism even if they are certified as Daojun, it proves that they are destined to be like this, and the other Daojun masters will not fight for them, because they are worthless at that time.
On the contrary, they competed with the Taoist Bodhisattvas of Buddhism. No matter what means they used or what price they paid, as long as they survived, it means that they have experienced the test and are recognized as Daojun. Then the Taoist Bodhisattvas of Buddhism also need to stop and cannot continue to attack.
In the final analysis, although all forces are actively preparing now and countless strong men are ready to move, the time for the real end of the Taoist has not really come. This time, the Buddhist Taoist has already been shameless and broken the rules.
Everyone gives you face and lets you continue to test the other party. If you don't seize the opportunity and continue to be shameless, then this will really offend the public.
You must know that while these Taoists are pursuing power, they also hope that more Taoists will appear. This means that there are more and more Taoist friends, whether friends or enemies, and everyone can use this to promote a more magnificent momentum.
If everyone shamelessly kills the latecomers, then the world will be in chaos, and no one will benefit.
Next, for the Taoist Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, the only chance they want to take action again is when the real chaos comes. At that time, the Taoist will be eliminated, and this rule will not be an obstacle.
And if Zhao Baiyang and others still have no power to protect themselves after such a long time, then they can't blame others, proving that they don't have the strength to reach the peak.
"Wait and see, wait for the reaction of all parties?" Yu Zhenzi pondered in silence.
This is indeed a good method. After all, after this incident, it will definitely not only affect their power, but will cause a series of things, and each family will react.
Not to mention other forces, first of all, the Jade Emperor will inevitably have a certain reaction. You must know that Zhao Baiyang or the people in the entire Outer Dao Alliance have a bad relationship with the Jade Emperor, and there is a lot of hatred between them.
In the past, these people had not yet certified the Taoist, and the Jade Emperor's power had an overwhelming advantage, so there was naturally no need to worry. But now that Zhao Baiyang has become a Taoist, even if he is only a newly promoted Taoist, this puts the two at the same starting point again, which means that the Outer Dao Alliance has once again become a threat to the Jade Emperor.
If that is the case, it would be fine, but from another perspective, the various forces that the Jade Emperor is now united with, many Taoists are newly promoted Taoists.
According to common sense, when each newly promoted Taoist is promoted, they naturally need to win over these newly promoted Taoists to join themselves, strengthen their own strength, and make their united front against the old Taoists stronger.
But the relationship between the Jade Emperor and Zhao Baiyang is so awkward. Will letting the other party join in affect the status of the Jade Emperor and some of his plans? After all, this is not just Zhao Baiyang, he can also vaguely affect the other two demons.
A single newly promoted Taoist may not be weak, but it is nothing in the alliance of newly promoted Taoists. As long as these three are not stupid people, they will definitely stick together at the beginning and temporarily advance and retreat together, so that they can gain more status and benefits.
However, if the three new Taoist monarchs are refused admission for the sake of the Jade Emperor's interests, it will also be a considerable loss for the New Taoist Monarch Alliance. The impact of this loss should not be underestimated.
"Yes, it's not us who should be anxious now, but others." Pang Hong also reacted to the current situation immediately. The appearance of these three Daojuns has an impact on them, but it has a greater impact on others. They are more anxious than him.
Since making a choice too hastily may lead to mistakes, it is better to wait for a while, observe the changes in the situation of all parties, and then make corresponding adjustments and responses.
Others are not qualified to wait and see, but they, the Shenxiao Sect, are fully qualified to wait and see for a while.
"What is the situation in the Ambergris Realm?" Pei Xuanjing temporarily put aside this topic and asked about the affairs of the Ambergris Realm.
Even though he and Zhao Baiyang have some old friends, but at this point, everyone has their own ideas and their own interests to pursue. These old friends are not worth mentioning at all, and there is no need to mention them.
The friendship at the beginning was the matter at the beginning, and the current affairs are the current problems. Why should the friendship of the past be affected by the current affairs? Isn't it better to keep some memories for each other?
"Now many of the indigenous warriors in the Dragon's Semen Realm have died or fled, and the only way for the rest to survive is to surrender to the Purple Mansion Sect. It can be said that the entire Dragon's Semen Realm is now basically in the hands of the Purple Mansion Sect, and only the part controlled by the Heavenly Court has not changed." Yu Zhenzi talked about the current situation in the Dragon's Semen Realm.
Although the Purple Mansion Sect's approach this time was a bit cruel, it must be admitted that this time it was very effective. The Dragon's Semen Realm, which was originally in a mess, was completely calmed down in a short period of time.
The original indigenous warriors who made trouble were completely eradicated by the Purple Mansion Sect using this opportunity, and they were not given any chance to make trouble. In addition to escaping and leaving the Dragon's Semen Realm directly, they either became subordinates of the Purple Mansion Sect, or they would only die.
And with the previous lessons learned, even if they were willing to surrender this time, they needed to make a pledge of allegiance, at least to personally kill an indigenous warrior of the same realm, otherwise the Purple Mansion Sect would not recognize it. (End of this chapter)
