Lu Ping did not expect that Zhun Ti would actually send someone here.
He frowned and said, “If that’s the case, won’t there be a conflict?”
“There will definitely be a conflict. This time, not only did Shao Deng come alone, he also brought 20,000 monks and 5,000 Venerables. It’s obvious that he wants to fight against Yun Xiao,” Kong Xuan said, “I’m afraid the conflict won’t be too small.”
The Buddhas, Venerables, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats of Mount Numinous were considered to be the rightful leaders, just like the gods of the Heavenly Court.
However, other than these people, there were also some Jiedi, Bhikuk, and You Poyi present.
1
They were the lowest level worshippers of Mount Numinous.
Jiedi were small commanders like heavenly generals.
Bhikkuk were males, and You Poyi were females.
These people were like the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals of the Heavenly Court, like fairy maidens.
After Kong Xuan finished speaking, Zhu Bajie continued with a sneer, “The two saints of Mount Numinous are the best at scheming. What the Heavenly Court is doing now will definitely affect the development of the Western religions in the universe. When that time comes, the cultivators will only know about the Heavenly Court and not Mount Numinous. After a long time, even the inheritance might be cut off. How can he tolerate it?”
Lu Ping touched his chin and smiled, “Then what do the three of you plan to do?”
Kong Xuan sighed and said, “We can’t just stand by and do nothing about this matter. No matter how much we don’t want to serve Mount Numinous, we are still people of Mount Numinous. If we say that because of this matter, we will be suppressed by the saints for hundreds of thousands of years, that is definitely unacceptable.”
This was the disadvantage of being controlled by others.
“We have to keep in touch. If there’s anything, give me a messaint in advance so that I can make preparations.”
Lu Ping knew that the three of them were not loyal to the Western religion.
The three of them did not refuse. Sun Wukong said, “If there’s any news related to you or someone related to you, we will naturally tell you. However, you have to be prepared for other things. We might not tell you about those.”
Lu Ping was not surprised by this.
In the end, they only had a strategic alliance in private. Sun Wukong and Kong Xuan did not join the Heavenly Court. It was impossible for them to tell him everything.
Lu Ping said with a smile, “If I get any news, I will find an opportunity to tell you. Let’s use the Primal Chaos Universe to communicate.”
To put it bluntly, the war was about to begin. No one knew if the other party had any secret methods.
Back then, Zhao Gongming had died from the Nail Head Seven Arrow Book.
He had really been plotted against. No one could say for sure.
After the banquet ended, Sun Wukong and Kong Xuan left Fengming Planet.
To be honest, Lu Ping was still not used to them leaving.
On the tenth day after they left, Yun Xiao summoned Lu Ping through the Primal Chaos Universe!
In order to solve the communication problem, Yun Xiao had forced all the planet officials to log into the Primal Chaos Universe every night to maintain communication.
If there was an emergency, everyone would know about it.
In the immortal world of the Southeast star domain, Yun Xiao’s expression was solemn. She had not expected the actions of the Western sect.
In the past year or so, Yun Xiao had already controlled thousands of planets. It could be said that she had achieved remarkable results. Then, these cultivators of the immortal world had also obtained a lot of Heaven and Earth merit.
However, just ten days ago, hundreds of planets suddenly announced publicly that because the immortals of the Heavenly Court had bullied the cultivators of the Western sect, they had rejected the rule of the Heavenly Court and chosen to join the Buddhist Kingdom of the Western sect.
She was stunned.
She did not know what was going on.
She did not know what to do.
Therefore, she thought of Lu Ping again.
In Mount Numinous, Zhun Ti and the guide were playing chess.
The guide smiled and said, “Your plan is still as sharp as ever.”
Zhun Ti’s hand landed, he said, “Hao Tian made a good move this time. It’s a pity that his internal situation is unstable. He did not dare release the eight Celestial Emperors in one go for fear that he would not be able to control them. He only sent out Yun Xiao and Yang Jian first. One, although they are not docile, they are not greedy for power and are easier to control. Two, he can use this to provoke the internal forces of the Heavenly Court so that he can seize power from them. Three, it will be easier for him to obtain merit in the future. Unfortunately, this has become a fatal flaw. In the past year, our people have already achieved great results, but he still hasn’t discovered it. This time, he must have thought that I was competing with him for those two star domains!”
Speaking up to this point, a trace of mockery appeared on Zhun Ti’s face.
In reality, Zhun Ti hadn’t been idle for the past year. He had first set his sights on the star domains where the Jade Emperor hadn’t sent an emperor.
He did not make any big moves.
Instead, he sent experts from Mount Numinous to secretly support the various planets with Western forces, making them bigger and seizing control of the entire planet.
These people carefully maintained a low-profile stance.
They were not discovered.
After all, the battles on the various planets were usually ongoing every day.
It was difficult to notice, and that was not all. He had also sent people from within the sphere of influence of Yang Jian and Yun Xiao to do something similar.
Therefore, the moment the lantern was lit, hundreds of planets responded to it and formed a faction.
Zhun Ti smiled and said, “This time, Wen Shu will go to Yang Jian’s place, while Shao Deng, Kong Xuan, and Sun Wukong will go to the clouds to attract the Heavenly Court’s attention on both sides. Otherwise, in a few more years, these two guys will really complete the integration of the two star domains. When that time comes, the Jade Emperor will definitely look elsewhere, and it will not be good. Now, we have to restrict his attention to these two star domains, and in the other places, we have to quickly send people to continue expanding our influence. When that time comes, if the Heavenly Court wants to control the cultivators of those planets, we can take a step forward!”
This fellow had endured these hardships patiently for a year.
His plans had started from the entire universe.
Right now, it seemed like he was going to start a war with the Heavenly Court. In reality, he was cultivating in the open and secretly starting from somewhere else.
It could be said that no one had thought that he was creating a diversion and that he still had other tricks up his sleeve.
At this moment, in the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor was already seething with anger!
He paced back and forth in the Lingxiao Treasured Palace.
Looking at the officials below, he shouted angrily, “Just now, Mount Numinous announced that all the places that belong to Mount Numinous are no longer under the control of the Heavenly Court. This is a provocation that has never happened since the Heavenly Court was established! What do you think we should do?”
Saints had the ability to change the rules. In other words, if Mount Numinous declared that it was no longer under the control of the Heavenly Court, then even the Heavenly Court would really lose control of the rules of the planet.
The Jade Emperor was also in a daze.
In fact, the moment he learned of this matter, he immediately went to seek justice from Hong Jun.
Unfortunately, Hong Jun was not there.
After he returned, he immediately summoned the Heavenly Court’s gods to ask for their opinions.
Everyone looked at each other. No one dared to speak carelessly. After all, this involved the two saints of the Western Church.
After a long while, a god stepped out and said, “This matter involves the foundation of our Heavenly Court. It must not be done like this. If the two saints of the Western Church do this, wouldn’t they be splitting the authority of our Heavenly Court? I believe that your Majesty should go and ask the Dao ancestor to uphold justice!”
When this was said, there was immediately a chorus of agreement.
That’s right. If something happened, they would definitely look for their own boss behind the scenes.
The Jade Emperor was so angry that his jaw was clenched.
Did he take him for a fool?
Didn’t he know that he was going to look for the Dao ancestor?
Didn’t he see him?
But the problem was that he couldn’t say this. If he said it now, it would only make people more anxious.
“Look for the Dao ancestor. Look for the Dao ancestor for everything! The Dao ancestor doesn’t care about the affairs of the world. Don’t you know? If you want to look for the Dao ancestor for everything, what’s the point of having you?” The Jade Emperor roared angrily.
He had never expected Zhun Ti to be so bold.
Most importantly, 90% of his anger stemmed from his dissatisfaction with Hong Jun.
From his point of view, Hong Jun was his greatest backer, but at this moment, his backer did not seem to be very reliable.
The group of gods were silent for a moment, and finally, a lady god stood out.
She said, “The people of the Western Church have been scheming against us since the Great Tribulation of Ascension. Their intentions can be punished, and now they have shaken the foundation of the Heavenly Court. This matter can not be retreated! I will fight them!”
She was the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit and could be considered the person with the highest status in the Heavenly Court.
She was one of the four direct disciples of the Patriarch of the Heaven sect. This position was actually unfair to her.
As soon as she said this, someone immediately raised a question, “If we fight against him, what will happen if the saint makes a move?”
