Chapter 525: The Taoist Temple Threat, the Emperor's Concern
After twenty years of development, this Taoist temple has become a behemoth, and countless strong people have emerged from it. Some of them travel alone, some of them have established their own forces, and some of them have joined a certain force.
Although Pei Xuanjing allowed these people to come and go, they all claimed to be Pei Xuanjing's disciples because they had a common identity. Although there was no real relationship between master and disciple, it did not mean that they did not remember Pei Xuanjing's kindness. , and at the same time, these people are connected together, forming a huge network throughout the world.
For today's Daming Dynasty, the threat of this Taoist temple has exceeded that of many original alliances and forces, because although they are not many strong ones, they are too numerous. When these countless warrior monks gather together, they are undoubtedly This made many people in the Ming Dynasty feel worried.
But the strange thing is that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty does not seem to care about this matter. He does not care about the development of this Taoist temple at all and allows these people to join the divine dynasty and serve the divine dynasty.
And what makes many people strange is that since the news came that the forces of the Wild Realm have returned after thirty years, the Emperor has entered seclusion and handed over everything in the court to many senior ministers. Only some particularly important matters are sent to him for decision-making. After all, His Majesty the Emperor has not been in court for twenty years.
However, even if he did not go to court for twenty years, everything in the entire Ming Dynasty was still only in the hands of the leader of the dynasty, and no one could shake his status in the slightest.
With the Golden Book and Jade Book in his hand, everything about the officials of the entire Ming Dynasty is in his hands, and no one can go against his will.
"What exactly does Master Pei want to do?" Zhu Houcong asked Wu Jiujiu with confusion in his eyes: "I wonder if you can help me, sir?"
Zhu Houconn didn't care at all that those in the court were worried about the Taoist Temple's growing power. For him, even if the Taoist Institute was powerful, as long as Pei Xuanjing didn't want to stand up to rebel and overthrow himself, then those people would be like scattered people. Sand generally poses no threat.
What he cares more about is another thing. What is Pei Xuanjing planning for such a layout of the Taoist Academy?
As the leader of the divine dynasty, he has the keenest perception of everything in the world. He clearly feels that the most important thing in the Taoist Academy is not the disciples of the Taoist Academy, but the statue of Pei Xuanjing erected in the Taoist Academy.
After so many years, Pei Xuanjing's statues are all over the world, more than the temples built by the emperor to worship him.
Moreover, the emperor who had personally visited the Taoist Temple could feel that the statue of Pei Xuanjing in the Taoist Temple had the other party's spiritual thoughts attached to it. It was this spiritual thought that made everything in the Taoist Temple run.
With the opening of countless Taoist branches in the past twenty years, the contribution point system promoted by Pei Xuanjing was completely accepted by warriors all over the world. More importantly, he also took this opportunity to spread his spiritual thoughts throughout the world.
"These divine thoughts are united together, as if they are a giant net covering the whole world." This is what the emperor is most afraid of.
Although Mr. Wu first met Pei Xuanjing, he actually didn't have much interaction with Pei Xuanjing over the years. Apart from some occasional exchanges of practice, the two had no other contacts.
However, His Majesty Zhu Houcong, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had a close relationship with Wu Shijiu, and the two seemed to have reached some agreements.
In the decades before Zhu Houcong went to court in person, it was difficult for many senior members of the cabinet to meet him, but Mr. Wu could easily enter and leave the palace where he retreated.
This is enough to prove the great cooperation between the two.
"Indeed, these Taoist branches are all over the world. With the existence of countless Taoist branch statues, this real person can be incarnated at any time." Wu Jiujiu's eyes also showed shock.
If he didn't understand Pei Xuanjing's behavior at the beginning, then when he first saw Pei Xuanjing using the existence of the Taoist statue in the Taoist temple, and then with the help of this statue, he came everywhere and condensed it with the power of divine thoughts and incense of faith. After the powerful incarnation suppressed the monks at the seventh level of the spiritual realm, Wu Jiujiu was extremely shocked.
Although he knows many secrets, has lived for countless years, and knows that there are many strong people who possess the art of incarnation, but he never thought that this method of incarnation can be used in this way.
At least in Wu Jiujiu's memory, among the powerful people he knew, no one had ever mastered the method of incarnation to such an extent. This was simply shocking.
He looked at the emperor and said: "Such a mysterious method of Master Pei is simply unheard of. At least in my memory, even the top-level incarnation method has limitations. No one has ever been able to use it like this."
As for Wu Jiujiu, he found that as he spent more and more time with Pei Xuanjing, he found that Pei Xuanjing became more and more mysterious, which made Wu Jiujiu more and more curious.
"Master Pei seems to be a man from heaven. Since his rise, he has been soaring all the way, and no one has ever been able to stop him," Zhu Houcong sighed.
As a practitioner of the way of refining gods, he currently holds the Golden Book and the Jade Book, and is the most powerful god in the Ming Dynasty. He should have been the most powerful person in the world. But compared with his Master Pei, Zhu Houcong felt a little ashamed.
He carefully pondered Pei Xuanjing's rise. Since he stepped out of the border town, he had encountered many crises and life and death along the way, but in the end he survived safely and gained a lot of benefits. It can be said that he was helped by God.
Wu Shijiu was stunned when he heard this and said, "It is said that when a great era is about to begin, there will definitely be a son of destiny born. The other party's luck will deepen, and the will of heaven will favor him. Almost everything he wants and does will be successful."
He did not finish his words, but Zhu Houcong understood the meaning very well.
"Perhaps, my Great Ming Dynasty will still need Master Pei's help in the disaster ten years later." Zhu Houcong sighed.
Ten years later, the return of those ancient forces, except for Pei Xuanjing, the strongest man in the world, is not the most dangerous one, but his Great Ming Dynasty.
The event of the return of the Divine Dynasty, which has not appeared for thousands of years, is something to say about the attitude of those ancient forces.
Will they recognize the status of the Great Ming Dynasty?
I'm afraid it's not that easy.
Ultimately, whether the Ming Dynasty is qualified to maintain its position in the next situation still needs another test.
