I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods
Chapter 380: Tricking the Zhenwu Emperor into working
After a moment, the Five Elements Mountain returned to its sunny and beautiful scene. Yang Jian turned into a ray of golden light and went straight into the sky. As the god of justice, he needed the help of the power of heaven to ensure that his nephew obtained a fire of Nirvana from the land of Nirvana and turned it into the wick of the Precious Lotus Lamp.
Of course it is impossible for Jiang Wang to go to the Phoenix clan's nirvana place with Lei Ting and Chenxiang. If he wants to put on a good show, he must do it in full. If he doesn't call for reinforcements, he will be worse than a monkey.
The Five Elements Mountain was only about 10,000 to 20,000 miles away from the Wudang Mountain. With the cultivation level of the three of them, they could reach there in an instant. As soon as the three of them landed, they saw many subordinates under the seat of the Great Emperor Zhenwu waiting to greet them outside the mountain gate.
The turtle general stepped forward to greet them: "Following the orders of the Emperor, we have come to welcome the Saintly Princess of the Nine Heavens Thunderbolt. Please come in, Princess. Please come in, Master Jiang, as a little Taoist friend."
As soon as Jiang Wang saw the three people land on the ground, there was a faint breath covering Chenxiang. Needless to say, it was the Great Emperor Zhenwu who was secretly observing this real nephew who had no blood relationship with him.
He clearly wanted to recognize his relatives, but he used the excuse of welcoming the guardian god from outside to handle a private matter. Even though the Great Celestial Lord had become a different person with an independent divinity and will, the habits from the original power still affected the Great Emperor Zhenwu.
When he thought about the conspiracy that Emperor Zhenwu had set against him, he felt a little disgusted, but he absolutely could not give in on this matter, so he would use an open conspiracy to counter the open conspiracy and make things one thing at a time.
"Then General, thank you for waiting. I have come here to ask for an important matter. It is urgent, so there is no need to be polite. Let's go see the Emperor right away!"
The turtle general leaned over and whispered, "Could it be about the matter of the First Cave Heaven Blessed Land? Now the three realms are all alarmed by this matter. Countless immortals have rushed there to try their luck. Even though Princess Thunder has a deep connection with the Phoenix Clan, she has no evidence to prove it. It is difficult to convince the immortals in the lower realms. Even if we ask the Emperor to go with us, I am afraid."
Little guy, as expected, when he sees a hot potato, he wants to stay out of it. The tactics of the Great Emperor Zhenwu are the same as those of the Great Heavenly Venerable, both of them are slippery and ruthless. He lets the mouth in front of him speak for him early on, blocking his own speech.
Jiang Wang didn't give any face to the megaphone in front of him at all, and immediately brought out the more powerful Yuanshi Tianzun to talk about the matter.
"I understand, but the two of us were instructed by Yuanshi Tianzun to go and handle this matter. We asked Zhenwu Emperor to go with us to be a witness for the Three Realms, not to slay demons. With Zhenwu Emperor in charge, we can save time and effort. Besides, Zhenwu Emperor has another reason to go."
When General Turtle saw Jiang Wang using the name of Yuanshi Tianzun to talk about something, he knew that his message had been passed on and the rest would be decided by his master. They had thus completed their mission.
They entered the Zhenwu Hall and Jiang Wang went straight to the point, not giving the Great Emperor Zhenwu a chance to think, and tricked him into going to work as well.
"Emperor, now that the First Cave Heaven Blessed Land is about to open, the Nirvana Fire hidden in the Nirvana Land is related to the blessings and disasters of all beings in the three realms. If the righteous immortals can go there, it will not be a problem; if demons and monsters can go there, it will be a disaster for all people in the world. Daoist friend Lei Ting and I are alone and weak, and I am afraid it will be difficult to suppress those immortals in the lower realms. Please help us, Master."
As soon as the Great Emperor Zhenwu heard Jiang Wang talking about the Three Realms, he immediately swallowed his words of refusal. After all, the Three Realms were still under the jurisdiction of the Great Heavenly Venerable. Others might not know the relationship between themselves and the Great Heavenly Venerable, but as the leader of the Human Cult, Jiang Wang, even if he did not know, a saint had secretly told him, which was why he came all the way to ask for help.
Then he would speak frankly, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you have received guidance from Yuanshi Tianzun, so I will accompany you on this trip, but whether I can subdue the immortals of the three realms is still to be seen!"
Jiang Wang immediately handed over the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag.
"Now that the war is imminent, this precious flag should be returned to its original owner. I believe that the Emperor, with a pure yang body, commands the Northern Sky Water Tribe. Even though he has great magical powers, he will inevitably be entangled by the pure yin aura of the northern Guishui over time, which will damage his cultivation. If he has the essence of the southern Lihuo in his hands, the yin and yang will naturally be balanced, and water and fire will blend, rather than the yin and yang fighting each other."
When Emperor Zhenwu heard this, his eyes lit up. If there were any rare treasures in the world that could improve his cultivation, there would probably be only a few innate spiritual treasures in the Three Realms. But he did not have the chance. Only the Nirvana Fire that had disappeared for countless epochs was the Qiantian True Fire, the basis of the Five Elements, and the source of the Five Fires.
Originally, this fire should belong to the descendants of the Phoenix clan, but Princess Thunder did not follow the path of innate true fire, and she was also the patron saint of the outer realm. Naturally, the fire of Nirvana would not fall on her, but she would choose another successor in the prehistoric world.
As the inheritance has disappeared for countless epochs, its existence has been almost wiped out for the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao has only a slight say in it. The new inheritance plan is also very simple. Whoever has the bigger fist will be the destined one.
He is one of the five newly promoted elders in heaven, in charge of the North Gate of Heaven. The five elders in charge of the south are Guanyin Bodhisattva, who follows the path of pure yin and true water. Even Laojun's Eight Trigrams Furnace cannot suppress the Willow Nectar.
It can be said that the power of water and fire in the north and south will be held alternately, which is a foregone conclusion.
Then he had an extra ball of innate true fire in his hand, which could be said to be completely God's will. Even if it was not God's will, the Great Celestial Venerable behind him had a way to turn it into God's will. In addition, he had the promise of the Taoist lineage, which was already most of God's will. As long as he killed the last trace of variables and got the fire of Nirvana, that would be the final result given by Heaven.
In the way of Dayan, God will not just give you all kinds of benefits, but also depends on whether you are qualified to have them. As for this qualification, whether you win by force or convince others by reason, it all depends on the final result.
The battle on the road is over in a flash.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu made a decision in an instant, took the Five-Directions Spiritual Flag handed over by Jiang Wang, and said in a deep voice: "That's what Master Dayan said. Let's go right now and try our luck. Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Lei, and this little fellow Daoist, let's talk while we walk, and don't waste time."
Jiang Wang saw that Emperor Zhenwu was really able to let go of things, and in an instant he decided to compete for the Fire of Nirvana as an individual. He did not act by relying on his identity in heaven, but took the upright path of open conspiracy. He was worthy of being a person with full courage, means and skills, and he fully displayed the demeanor of an emperor.
He heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that if he had invited this great god, even if Wutan came in person, Zhenwu would be there to block him. What's more, Wutan was just a small figure against the Emperor of Heaven, so he was destined to suffer a great calamity. So he would take this opportunity to repay the favor of borrowing the spiritual flag.
You can owe favors to anyone in the Three Realms, but you must never owe favors to the Great Celestial Venerable.
He immediately informed the innate sense in his mind.
"Master, there should be two and a half flames of Nirvana. One of them has a long history with the Precious Lotus Lamp. It should be the debt paid by the Phoenix Ancestor. Outsiders cannot snatch it. The other one should be hidden in the most inconspicuous and impossible place. It depends on Master's luck. As for the last half, it is still in danger and will most likely fall into the hands of others."
When Emperor Zhenwu heard this, his eyes shone even brighter, and he bowed slightly, "Thank you, Brother Jiang, for revealing the secret. Let's go!" With a wave of his long sleeves, the group of four moved to another place. They saw vast blue waves ahead with countless icebergs floating in the middle, and the air was filled with a smell of sulfur.
A gigantic phantom of a phoenix appeared in the sky, with its wings spread out to reach tens of thousands of miles away. Coupled with its long tail and colorful rays of light, the sky and earth were illuminated with a brilliant glow. When the light was reflected from the iceberg, the glow became even more bizarre and indescribable.
Fairy clouds were floating in the sky, and there were countless rare and exotic animals. Sitting on them were many men from the three mountains and five peaks. Most of them were shining with precious light and had murderous aura. They gathered in twos and threes, or displayed the flag of their sects. Hundreds or thousands of followers had lined up early to wait for them.
At a glance, there were at least tens of thousands of people. Immortals coming from all directions were still coming in an endless stream, plus all kinds of monsters and strange creatures in the sea who were qualified to come here appeared from time to time.
Although no one started fighting, there was a look of impending bloodshed, and no one doubted it. As soon as the portal to the world's number one paradise appeared, this place would turn into a Shura battlefield.
Even though the four of them changed into Xuanmen attire of black robes in an instant, the Great Emperor Zhenwu did not conceal his aura at all. The aura of looking down on the world that naturally emanated from him rolled out wildly, causing the Qi-refining practitioners in the surrounding mountains and hills to involuntarily step aside, not daring to block this unrivaled innate aura.
In a blink of an eye, there were only a few people left within a thousand feet of where the Great Emperor Zhenwu stood. An old man with a dragon head and a human body, accompanied by a dignified young man in white, hurried forward to pay their respects.
"Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, and his nephew Ao Lie are here to see the Emperor Zhenwu!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many of the immortals watching outside turned around and left without hesitation.
No matter how powerful the Heavenly Court is, there are still monkeys who rebel against the Great Heavenly Venerable. However, in the Earthly Realm, in the Northern Continent governed by the Great Emperor Zhenwu, demons and monsters have long been extinct.
Now that one of the Five Elders of the Heavenly Court has appeared, it means that this land of Nirvana has little to do with demons and monsters. If we don’t leave now, will we be asking for our lives?
The Great Emperor Zhenwu waved his long sleeves, and his voice was like a bell, resounding throughout the South China Sea, "Fellow Daoist Ao, there is no need to be polite. I came here to see what the mystery of this number one Nirvana place in this blessed land is. The rare treasures of heaven and earth are for those who are destined to obtain them. All of you Daoists have come for this purpose, so let's follow our fate and return when our fate is over. We should also save this blessed land from the disaster of war and prevent blood from tainting this auspicious aura."
Many overseas immortals and people from the three mountains and five peaks all breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the Great Emperor Zhenwu did not use his status in heaven to bully others. He only came as a monk to admire this mysterious place that had been passed down since ancient times. He did not really have it all to himself. With him in charge, many people with shallow skills also had a chance.
The immortals responded one after another, "Thank you, Brother Dao, for upholding justice. We will obey your orders. If anyone dares to use violence, you will enforce justice on behalf of heaven and imprison this person in the underworld, where he will never be able to recover!"
Just as the Great Emperor Zhenwu was about to speak, he saw a golden lotus appear in the west. A familiar figure appeared in the flower. He could not help but sneer in his heart, knowing why Jiang Wang had instigated him to come over and get the fire of Nirvana.
In the final analysis, he is the only one who has the ability to fight against Vairocana Tathagata and Lingshan. It is impossible for Vairocana Tathagata to appear in the territory of the Phoenix clan. After all, no matter how you look at it, Vairocana Tathagata is also the leader of a religion and has not much connection with the Phoenix clan. On the contrary, the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils he created are mortal enemies of the Phoenix.
If this happens, it will not only be a matter of face, but also mean that Lingshan has blatantly violated the rules.
The ancient species such as the Phoenix and the Qilin are now under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. No matter in what identity he, the Great Emperor Zhenwu, appears here, it is legitimate, but Lingshan is not legitimate.
He spoke first and explained the principles of heaven and earth.
"Brother Randeng, are you here to witness the birth of the first blessed land, or are you here to clean up the mess?"
When the ancient Buddha Ran Deng, who had just heard the news and rushed over, heard the voice of Zhenwu Emperor, he was stunned. No matter how he looked at it, he shouldn't be here.
But when he turned his eyes, he saw Jiang Wang beside the Great Emperor Zhenwu, and he suddenly realized that it was this guy who taught the kid to stir up trouble here again. A few days ago, Tathagata suffered a loss in the Heavenly Palace at the hands of this kid, and he had no words to grievance.
Now that they have come to this place of Nirvana, it is obvious that the two largest forces in heaven have united together to ensure that the first-ranked paradise will be born without any trouble.
Just as he was about to look away, the ancient Buddha Ran Deng noticed the woman beside the Great Emperor Zhenwu who exuded an unusual aura. From her, he not only sensed the light and shadow from the phoenix, but also a completely different charm.
Princess Thunder!
This woman is the empress who was just canonized by the Heavenly Court. This is unprecedented. In the past, only when the Phoenix ruled the Heavenly Court could there be the title of Imperial Princess. Now that the Heavenly Court has changed twice, the Great Heavenly Venerable took out this title from some corner. It is not just because she is from outside the realm, but because she also has the inheritance of the Phoenix.
The ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp made up his mind in an instant that the greatest secret of this blessed land lies in the patron saint from outside the realm. Although she has the recognition of the Heavenly Dao at this time and her own strength will not be diminished at all, this princess is only a Golden Immortal who has been promoted not long ago, and there is still a long way to go before she can reach the level of the Buddha of the past.
He was determined to make friends with this guardian god from outside the realm and submit to the people in front of him.
Ran Deng spoke slowly, "Fellow Daoist, you are too serious. The traitor has not yet appeared in our Buddhist sect, so why would you say we should clean up the sect?"
When Jiang Wang saw that the street scoundrel who was famous for killing people and stealing treasures in the Three Realms appeared here as expected, he felt a little sad in his heart. He and Wutan had the same goal, both came for the fire of Nirvana, but in the end, both Wutan and Randeng were finished.
The Monkey King became the biggest winner of this catastrophe and the ancestor of all Buddhas. No one knew the reason before, but now it is clear. Even the monkey can be regarded as the direct disciple of the two saints. After the two saints in the West repaid their owed merits, they naturally have the weight of speaking in Lingshan. Making the direct disciple the ancestor of all Buddhas can be regarded as a counterattack against Laojun's plan.
Hey, in this primitive world, if everyone doesn't scheme against each other, can we live peacefully? (End of this chapter)
