Chapter 397: Prince Lotus's Conspiracy

The two followers around Prince Lotus may seem ordinary, but no one knows that their true cultivation is extremely high and they are great tribulation-transcending masters.

They were once powerful men who shook the world, but now they were willing to follow Prince Lotus as followers. There was a reason for all this, because Prince Lotus promised them that after they returned to the fairyland in the future, he would introduce them to the Chan Sect.

Even if their talents are not truly top-notch, being able to enter the Chan Sect as an outer disciple is better than being an independent practitioner.

Moreover, they themselves have thought about it. If they rely solely on their own cultivation, it will be a question whether they can break through to the Mahayana stage in this lifetime, let alone ascend to the fairyland and become a disciple of the Chan Sect.

So they chose to join Prince Lotus without any hesitation and became his two followers to protect his safety.

At this moment they asked Prince Lotus whether his strategy of sowing discord would work.

Prince Lianhua just smiled and said, "Don't worry. Although the Northern Continent Alliance is powerful and has a deep foundation in the Qingtian World, it is not an iron wall after all. Moreover, Lu Yuan's background is also fake. Although the high-level officials of the Northern Continent Alliance are in a good realm, they will eventually ascend in the future. As long as they ascend, they will definitely not be able to avoid the three religions of the upper realm in the future.

And they all have their own independent thinking ability, so they will naturally make the right choice.”

Prince Lotus never doubted himself on this point, because he understood too well the appeal of the three religions to these ordinary cultivators.

Just offer them the slightest olive branch and they will immediately climb up the branches.

The two followers around Prince Lotus nodded. This was indeed the case. The two of them were the ones who were climbing up along this olive branch. It would be extremely difficult for those people in the Northern Continent Alliance to resist such temptation.

But now they asked again: "Since it is so troublesome, why don't we just take down the North Continent Alliance?"

Prince Lotus couldn't help but look at the follower who asked the question: "Foolish, I came here from the fairyland to experience the tribulation, can I expose my identity so easily?
If we fight openly, my fellow Chan teachers from the upper realm will not be able to support me at all. With our current strength, can we defeat the Northern Continent Alliance in a head-on battle?
Besides, I can take down the Northern Continental Alliance without any soldiers using this method, so why should I resort to force?"

Prince Lotus said that he came down to experience tribulation, not to take a vacation.

Moreover, he is now in a state of reincarnation and cannot act arbitrarily, nor can he ask his fellow disciples from the three religions in the upper realm to come for help.

Because the tribulations mentioned by the immortals of the three religions are essentially that they have been immortals for too long and have been avoiding natural disasters, until this time the natural disaster could no longer be avoided, so they were forced to reincarnate and start over, severing all clues to their past selves in order to conceal the secret of their continued cultivation.

Therefore, even in the Blue Sky World, Prince Lotus did not dare to act recklessly. He did everything with caution. He did not dare to use his true power or look for his fellow disciples from the three religions, because he was afraid that the natural disasters from the upper realm would find him.

Once the disaster finds him, he will be dead for sure.

As for why we must take over the Northern Continent Alliance, there is a reason for that.

Because he will have to stay in this world for many years, and if he wants to practice quickly during these years, he will need a lot of resources. If there is no powerful force behind him to support him and provide him with huge resources, it will be difficult for him to practice to the Mahayana stage and ascend to the fairyland again in the shortest time.

Therefore, after careful selection, he directly set his sights on the Beizhou Alliance, which is currently the largest force in the Qingtian World. This is also the reason why Prince Lotus is determined to take down the Beizhou Alliance.

Prince Lotus's move can be described as an open conspiracy, but it is indeed unsolvable.

Prince Lotus was confident in himself. He thought that the top leaders of the Northern Continental Alliance would figure it out by then, and all he had to do now was go back and wait for a few days.

In a few days at most, the Northern Continent Alliance will belong to him.

After Prince Lianhua left, Xiao Huang and others also paid a visit to Lu Yuan, and then they asked about the Chan Sect. At first they all thought that the teacher was a member of the Chan Sect, but only now did they realize that everything was a misunderstanding.

And from Lu Yuan, they also got reconfirmation.

Because Lu Yuan personally admitted and stated that he was indeed not a member of the Chan Sect.

Lu Yuan said: "From the beginning, I never said that I had any relationship with the Chan Sect. Everything is just your imagination. I didn't spread the rumors.

What? You look disappointed. Do you have to learn Chanjiao to get excited?"

From the beginning, Lu Yuan never said that he had any relationship with the Chan Sect. Everything was just their self-righteous fantasy.

After listening to Lu Yuan's words, King Jinjiao and others also reflected on themselves.

It seems to be true. From the very beginning, the teacher never said that he was a member of the Chan sect. Instead, he clarified more than once that he had nothing to do with this so-called Chan sect.

It seems that they really did force the title of industry-education person on the teachers' heads. From this point of view, it is indeed just their wishful thinking.

Now that the truth is out, they have no right to be disappointed.

Lu Yuan said at this time: "Why are you all so dejected? Is it only the identity of a disciple of the Chan Sect that allows you to hold your heads up high? Did our Beizhou Alliance rely on the Chan Sect to get to where it is today?
If any of you want to join the Chan Sect, I won't stop you. Everyone has their own aspirations. You can go to Prince Lotus now and see if he can lead you into the Chan Sect."

Lu Yuan looked at the disciples and the top leaders of the Northern Continent Alliance below and spoke lightly.

To be honest, he actually didn't regard the Chan sect as an opponent from the beginning, because he always felt that the so-called three religions of the upper realm, such as the Chan sect, had little to do with him.

Because no matter how powerful the Chan Sect is, it is still in the upper realm. I haven't ascended yet, so why should I be afraid of the Chan Sect?
And there is no need to be afraid even after ascending. As long as you don't provoke the Chan Sect, he will not provoke you for no reason.

When the Daluo Sect was just starting out, the Alchemist Alliance was also extremely powerful, vying to dominate the world and covering the sky with one hand.

In Lu Yuan's eyes at that time, the Alchemist Alliance was no worse than the so-called Chan Sect, but now isn't it being surpassed by him step by step?

So there is no enemy that cannot be defeated, it’s just that your strength is not strong enough.

If anyone in his Beizhou Alliance wanted to join Zen Buddhism or Prince Lotus, they could go. He would not keep anyone with ulterior motives.

Just like when the Alchemist Alliance and the Wuji Sect formed a coalition to attack the Beizhou Alliance, before the war began, Lu Yuan gave his men a chance to leave.

At that time, many people chose to leave, which was actually a good thing for the Northern Continental Alliance. It was equivalent to eliminating a group of parasites who followed the wind without any effort.

It's the same this time. If someone is poached by Prince Lotus and taken away, then there is no need for Lu Yuan to keep such a person.

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he looked down at the audience. Many high-level officials of the Northern Continental Alliance looked at each other at this moment, and many people calculated the pros and cons in their hearts. But in the end, everyone shook their heads, because after careful calculation, they found that perhaps joining the Lotus Prince was not the best choice.

Just as the leader said, the fact that the Northern Continent Alliance has been able to grow to its current size has nothing to do with the Chan Sect. The reason they have been able to grow so big is because of their own strength, not the Chan Sect's background.

Although Prince Lotus is a member of the Chan sect, how much benefit can he bring to them alone?
Although the various benefits promised sound nice, it is still unknown whether they can be implemented.

For example, Prince Lotus tells everyone that he can introduce them to the Chan Sect after they ascend to the fairyland. This sentence is indeed very tempting, but it also has many problems.

First of all, there are many conditions for entering the Chan Sect. The most basic condition is that you have the cultivation and strength to ascend to the fairyland. Because if you want to enter the Chan Sect, you must at least ascend, right?

The path of ascension alone has blocked the way forward for countless people. It is unknown how many people died before ascension or under the thunder tribulation of ascension.

Even if they are lucky enough to ascend to heaven, after entering the fairyland, will Prince Lotus immediately fulfill his promise to introduce them to the Chan Sect?
not necessarily!

How much power can Prince Lotus have?

Moreover, introduction and recommendation are different. Recommendation is recommendation, but introduction may just be a casual remark.

And as far as they know, even among the top immortals in the fairy world, there are countless people vying to enter the Chan Sect, but only a few can actually enter and become formal disciples.

So many top True Immortals can't squeeze into the quota, but they can get it easily. Who would believe this?
If Prince Lotus really did what he wanted, then most of the disciples in the Chan Sect would be fools who got in through connections. How could the Chan Sect maintain such strong strength and status?

Therefore, the credibility of Prince Lotus’s statement is not high.

Moreover, they had seen the consequences of betraying the Beizhou Alliance. When the coalition forces of the Alchemist Alliance and the Wuji Sect came, many people chose to flee in the face of the enemy, but Lu Yuan did not kill them at that time.

But afterwards, the Northern Continent Alliance won, and those monks who withdrew from the Northern Continent Alliance regretted their decision, but it was too late to make amends.

Although it is easy for them to leave the Northern Continent Alliance and join Prince Lotus now, it will not be so easy to come back.

On the other hand, maintaining the status quo may not be a bad thing.

After all, to put it bluntly, the Chan Sect is a force from the upper realm, and has little influence on their Qingtian World. Not all of the high-level officials of the Beizhou Alliance are in the Mahayana stage.

There are still many people lingering in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and many people actually have no hope of breaking through to the Mahayana stage.

Therefore, even if they surrendered to Prince Lotus, there would not be much benefit for them in the short term. The many promises Prince Lotus made to them could only be fulfilled after they returned to the upper realm.

Many of them may not be able to ascend to the heavens in this lifetime. Since they cannot ascend to the upper realms, what is the point of the promises made by the Lotus Prince? It is better to cherish the present moment.

And to be honest, their life in the Northern Continent Alliance is not unhappy at all, because they have never been short of spirit stones in the Northern Continent Alliance for such a long time. The Northern Continent Alliance is extremely rich, and the leader treats his subordinates very well.

So if they were given a choice, they would rather follow Lu Yuan for the rest of their lives, even if he did not have a Chan sect background.

Since I can't ascend to heaven anyway, why should I be afraid of a Chan sect?
As for the powerful Mahayana masters of the Northern Continent Alliance, their thoughts are different.

There are already quite a few powerful Mahayana masters in the Northern Continent Alliance.

The Golden Horn King, the five great ancestors of the Martial God Sect, Xiao Huang, Jiang Ming, Zhang Feifei in formation, Zi Chen, the Wuji Saint Lord and others.

Their strength is all at the Mahayana stage, and they will definitely ascend to heaven in the future, so these talents are the important targets of Prince Lotus.

As long as these core Mahayana warriors are captured, the Northern Continent Alliance will no longer be a concern.

Among these people, most of them are Lu Yuan’s die-hard supporters.

For example, Xiao Huang, Jiang Ming, Zhang Feifei and others.

They were all brought up by Lu Yuan from the Daluo Sect period, and most of them were penniless when they joined Lu Yuan. They have followed Lu Yuan in cultivation step by step until today. These people are 100% loyal and cannot be turned against.

Then there are the Golden Horn King and the five great ancestors of the Martial God Sect.

Although they became disciples later and started learning relatively late, they are all of advanced age, have extensive knowledge, and have good character. After all, Lu Yuan would not accept someone with bad character as his disciple.

They originally thought that Prince Lianhua was not a good person, and that he was evasive and untrustworthy. In addition, Lu Yuan had done them a great favor, so they would not rebel just because of a Chanjiao background.

Moreover, they always felt that following Lu Yuan would not have a worse future than joining the Chan Sect, so King Jinjiao and the five great ancestors of the Wushen Sect were as steady as a rock and had no second thoughts.

Among the high-level officials of the Northern Continent Alliance, the only ones who might have second thoughts are Zi Chen and Wuji Saint Lord.

Zi Chen was the original leader of the Alchemist Alliance, and also the spokesperson of the Alchemist Alliance's upper realm ancestors in the lower realm. He was extremely powerful and was destined to ascend to heaven in the future.

The Wuji Saint Lord is also the strongest ancestor of the Wuji Sect.

Both of them followed Lu Yuan because they misunderstood that he was a disciple of the Chan sect. Now Lu Yuan's identity has been clarified, and a real disciple of the Chan sect, Prince Lotus, has appeared.

According to normal logic, the two of them should cut ties with the Northern Continent Alliance as soon as possible and then go to join Prince Lotus.

But surprisingly, Zi Chen and Wuji Saint Lord did not choose to run away immediately, nor did they say much, nor did they make any statement, as if they were not interested in the Lotus Prince.

This made King Jinjiao and others stunned for a moment.

Are Zi Chen and Wuji Saint Lord also so loyal?

In fact, they are not loyal, but have their own reasons.

Because after careful calculation, they found a problem. It seemed that they could live better if they continued to follow the Northern Continent Alliance, and it might even be more cost-effective than directly joining Prince Lotus.
