"Have things really reached this point?" Lord Shui Dexing said in disbelief.
Just a few decades ago, they, the Star Lords, were still in the sky and on the earth, controlling the wind and rain in the Three Realms. How long ago, they actually went to Tushita Palace to seek protection.
"This is the general trend!"
"Even if there is no Erlang Shen or Sun Wukong looking for trouble this time, there will still be Sanlang Shen and Ma Wukong."
"You should be very aware of how fast Buddhism has developed over the years. Its strength has reached a point where Heaven must face it. However, Heaven is becoming more and more corrupted under the management of Star Lords like us."
"If things continue like this, Heaven will one day be replaced by Buddhism."
"How can it be?"
"With the Zhoutian Star Formation here, how dare the Buddhist sect dare to move?" Lord Shui Dexing was a little unbelievable.
"Haha, even Mr. Huo Dexing has the idea of taking refuge in Buddhism. Do you think other people don't have this idea?"
"The Zhoutian Star Formation is the last resort to defeat the enemy. No one wants to actually see this great formation activated. Besides, activating the Zhoutian Star Formation requires the concerted efforts of 70% of the star officials. These star officials are all the same They are living people, they also have their own ideas and weigh the pros and cons!"
"In time, if these star officials find that Buddhism is a better place than heaven, what do you think they will do?"
"I even suspect that some star officials have secretly defected to Buddhism." Taibai Jinxing said solemnly.
Upon hearing Taibai Jinxing's words, Lord Shui Dexing also fell silent.
He actually knows some of these things. As far as he knows, quite a few star officials are indeed very close to Buddhism, and they are even invited to Leyin Temple to give lectures from time to time.
"Then when are we going?" Lord Shui Dexing asked.
"The sooner, the better. The earlier you go, the better treatment you will get. If you go late, you may not even have enough space."
When Taibai Jinxing said this, he couldn't help but pause: "But it's not us, it's you!"
"There is no place for me in the Tusita Palace. I want to go to the Lingxiao Palace!"
Although Lord Shui Dexing was a little confused when he heard this, he didn't ask any more questions in the end. He nodded and left directly towards the Tusita Palace on the 31st level.
Mr. Shui Dexing still recognized Taibai Jinxing's vision and ability.
Without this ability, he would not have been able to lead the entire Star Lords to achieve such brilliant results.
Of course, no matter how glorious the era is, it will eventually pass away. Lord Shui Dexing has always known this very clearly.
For him who has a long lifespan and has no concept of death, as long as he can live, he can always turn around again.
Watching Mr. Shui Dexing leave, Taibai Jinxing took a deep breath and also left the mansion.
In fact, he also knows many things, and he even knows what to do to make Heaven strong.
How could he not want heaven to be strong?
But there are some things that he really can't do.
For example, this internal reform, once reformed, will damage the interests of countless Star Lords, and these Star Lords are the basis for him to be inferior to one person, superior to ten thousand people, and close ministers of the Jade Emperor. He cannot give it to himself. Dig your own grave.
He did not lie to Lord Shui Dexing. Now he is indeed going to the Lingxiao Palace. He wants to use the chips he still has in his hands to exchange for a chance of survival. He also believes that His Majesty will definitely be moved. of.
Because Heaven is not in a peaceful state now, there is a Buddhist gate outside Heaven that is watching eagerly.
If there is a major turmoil due to internal reforms, it will definitely give Buddhism some opportunities to take advantage of. Taibai Jinxing believes that His Majesty and the many Taoist elders behind His Majesty will not want to see this happen.
And this is your chance.
Just as he said to Mr. Shui Dexing before.
Buddhism has developed to this point and has become a powerful force that Taoism and Heaven cannot ignore.
Even now, the internal reforms that are gradually taking place in the Taoist Heavenly Court, as well as the reuse of Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong, are partly due to the increasingly strong performance of Buddhism.
It can only be said that the development of Buddhism made Heavenly Court and the Taoist elders see the possibility that their status was threatened, and then they gradually began to pay attention to Heavenly Court's rules and regulations.
Because this is the foundation of the strength of Heaven.
Different from the bottom-up power structure of mortal dynasties, in the extraordinary world like the Three Realms, power is from top to bottom. Those in power in the Tao sect control powerful power beyond anyone else. No one in the entire heaven can against their will.
And this is also the reason why Taibai Jinxing surrendered easily with almost no resistance.
And when Taibai Jinxing entered the Lingxiao Palace after being notified, the Jade Emperor had already been waiting here for a long time.
He knew that it was not right to fight with him openly and secretly. It could not be regarded as an open and covert fight, but could only be regarded as an old friend who had been in vain for tens of thousands of years. The old rival was finally coming to an end.
Of course, this is not the result of his own struggle for power. In terms of political struggle, this old guy is his teacher.
This is the manifestation of the will from the elders of the higher Taoist sect, and the most fundamental reason is because of Buddhism.
Buddhism today is too strong.
Maybe he didn't pay too much attention to it before, but it was clearly reflected from the fact that they were able to bring the pig demon transformed by Marshal Peng that day into the Peach Banquet and into the Yaochi quietly.
31xs/13/13616/《Treading the Star》
These bald donkeys have almost turned the heaven into a sieve over the years.
This is also the reason why those Taoist masters are determined to rectify the heaven.
Of course there are deeper reasons for this.
At that time, Taishang Laojun and other Taoist elders relied on the power of the law compiled from Heaven to make the Golden Immortal become an immortal immortal. Only then did the Heavenly Court be established, and the Heavenly Court be able to continue to grow, and eventually dominate the three realms.
And now Buddhism has also come up with something.
The power of faith.
This kind of thing can continuously improve the combat effectiveness of the strong Golden Immortal, and can create the strongest external incarnation, the Buddhist Golden Body. If the current Golden Immortal only has endless lifespan, then the Buddhist sect blessed by the power of faith is the physical body. , the soul is immortal.
As long as you still have the power of faith, even if you can kill the opponent a hundred times, the opponent can still rely on the power of faith to come back to life.
And as long as you die once, you are really dead.
And this is also the reason why Taoism feels threatened by Buddhism.
Even though Taoism has been studying the power of Buddhism's beliefs in recent years, and has even begun to implement it in Dongsheng China and other places, the effect is far less than that of Buddhism. One of the reasons for this is that the administrative efficiency is low, and those at the bottom of Taoism are Immortal officials are far less pious than Buddhist bald donkeys and cannot gain a large number of followers.
"Your Majesty, were you the ones who brought General Rolling Shutter and Marshal Tianpeng into the Peach Banquet?" Taibai Jinxing asked directly without hesitation.
The Jade Emperor looked at his old rival in front of him. Although he was still humble and respectful when facing him, he was keenly aware of the sharpness in his words.
Apparently the mask on this old rival's face has been quietly lifted a little.
The Jade Emperor was not surprised at all by this, because he knew very well that the Taibaijin Star was the first of the stars in the north, and it was the most heavily attacked. The current Taibaijin Star was the real Taibaijin Star.
"no!"
"I haven't received any reports about them before!" The Jade Emperor shook his head.
"What about the Ministry of Justice?" Taibai Jinxing asked again.
"No!" The Jade Emperor still shook his head.
"Your Majesty, if this was not done by one of our own, it must have been done by the Buddhists!"
"Buddhism's plans are not small!" Taibai Jinxing said.
When the Jade Emperor heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Jin Xing, you have never told me these words before!"
"This time, that time!"
Taibai Jinxing couldn't help but sigh when he said this: "Your Majesty, if you want to make Buddhism surrender, I'm afraid it won't be an easy task."
"If our Heavenly Court suffers large casualties due to internal rectification, I am afraid that Buddhism will become even more arrogant by then!"
"If you have any ideas, you can just tell me!" the Jade Emperor said in a deep voice.
In the extraordinary world, the status of the so-called Jade Emperor and ministers does not mean anything. There is only one thing that can play a role, and that is cultivation.
And if we just talk about cultivation, Taibai Jinxing and Jade Emperor are on par, so they can talk to each other as equals. Of course, this premise is that Taibai Jinxing completely gives up his identity as a manager in heaven.
He has indeed given up.
"Your Majesty, I have been refining a law spirit treasure for these years!"
"I came here this time to dedicate it to Your Majesty, to our Taoist sect." Taibai Jinxing first said His Majesty, which naturally corresponded to Heaven, and then mentioned the Taoist sect. Naturally, he meant it to be given to the Supreme Lord and other high-ranking people. The Taoist ancestor of Sanqing Dynasty listened to it.
"What spiritual treasure?" A trace of surprise flashed in the Jade Emperor's eyes.
"Your Majesty should know that I was originally a disciple of the Taoist sect, but a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun. When I was still a disciple of the Taoist sect, I received a task from my master, which was the task of refining magic weapons. Over the years, I have not dared to do anything wrong. Relax, I have finally refined him as of today."
Taibai Jinxing waved her hand while speaking, and suddenly a golden curtain slowly opened in front of the Jade Emperor.
"God List!"
"You've really made it!" A glimmer of light flashed in the Jade Emperor's eyes, and he spoke in a deep voice.
He naturally knew about this thing. It was a legal spiritual treasure designed together by the Taoist ancestors of the Sanqing Dynasty in the early years. However, due to some technical reasons, this spiritual treasure was never released. It is said that something went wrong during the refining process, which caused this spiritual treasure to appear. Things are ruined.
But he didn't expect that this thing would be in Taibai Jinxing's hands now.
And it has been refined.
"Yes, this is the list of gods!"
"This list of gods is only effective for golden immortals. As long as a ray of true spirit is attached to it, then even if the body dies, it can be resurrected from here. As long as the list of gods is immortal, the soul of the golden immortal who is on the list of gods will be immortal. Yes." Taibai Jinxing said.
"Good baby!" A glimmer of light flashed in the Jade Emperor's eyes. As long as he controls this thing and asks all the immortals in heaven to leave a ray of true spirit on it, he will naturally be able to control the entire immortals in heaven.
"Your Majesty, now that the mission ordered by Master has been completed, I will officially entrust this spiritual treasure to Your Majesty today."
"At the same time, I also implore your majesty to grant my permission to go to Taibaijin Star and return to Kunlun Mountain. I want to go back to serve my master and practice Taoism with peace of mind." Taibaijinxing said frankly.
"Is that so?" The Jade Emperor looked at Taibai Jinxing below, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he did not expect that Jinxing, the leader of civil servants and a very high reputation among the Star Lords, would really I am willing to let go of everything in heaven and return to Kunlun Mountain.
However, since Taibai Jinxing is willing to let go of everything, retire and return to his hometown, and with the list of gods he presented, the Jade Emperor is naturally willing to give this old rival and minister the last bit of dignity.
"good!"
"Since Venus is gone, I won't keep her anymore!"
"You go now!" The Jade Emperor said in a deep voice.
With the Jade Emperor's words, Taibai Jinxing let out a long sigh of relief.
Although he is a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, there are so many disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun. It can even be said that many people in the Taoist sect can be counted as disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun. However, Yuanshi Tianzun has been in seclusion deep in the Kunlun Mountains all year round and will not care about them at all. The life and death of the disciples.
He knew this, and so did the Jade Emperor.
He said before that it was just an excuse to go back and serve Yuanshi Tianzun. Now that the Jade Emperor agreed, he naturally acquiesced in his excuse.
This can be regarded as saving enough face for myself.
It is even possible that when he returns to Kunlun Mountain, he will still be qualified to compete with Master Taiyi and others for control of Kunlun Mountain.
Thinking of this, the corners of Taibai Jinxing's mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
Obviously, he can successfully escape from the upcoming reform storm in heaven.
On the other side, Lord Jiuyao Xing was currently sitting on a Dharma boat, eating wine on it while heading towards the Nantian Gate.
To go to Tianwai, you must pass through Nantianmen.
Although they went to seek refuge, they had no idea of escape, and they still ate, drank, and lived happily as before.
In front of the Nantian Gate, Li Jing held a fake exquisite pagoda in his hand and looked at the boat heading towards here in the distance without any intention of stopping. A sarcastic smile could not help but appear on his lips.
He stretched out his hand and waved, and the magic circle in front of Nantian Gate immediately opened.
This array is actually part of the Zhoutian Star Array, but it is the most basic part. But even the most basic part of the array can block the attacks of hundreds of golden immortals for ten days and ten nights without any Not the slightest waver.
In one sentence, as long as this magic circle is opened, no one in the entire Three Realms can break in from the outside.
This Nantian Gate is the strongest barrier in Heaven, bar none.
"Who is coming? Tell me your name!" Li Jing shouted in a deep voice.
"Li Jing, why are you pretending that you didn't see the grandpas coming?"
"I'm in a hurry to perform official duties in the lower world, why don't you open the door quickly and let the grandfathers pass!" An extremely arrogant voice came from inside the magic boat.
