My wife is Invincible East

Then he recalled that half a day ago, the Haotian Mirror, which had been watching Sun Wukong, suddenly revealed the scene of the two of them forcing Guanyin to retreat. Now it seemed that even if Zhu Moye's strength was inferior to Sun Wukong, the gap was not that big.
The Queen Mother's expectations for Zhu Moye's potential increased again, and she believed that Zhu Moye was also a person who needed to be strongly won over.
"I wonder if the Great Sage and the Ming Emperor ever thought of any way out after they killed the favorite disciple of Avalokitesvara?" said the Queen Mother. This time she finally stopped beating around the bush and pointed out the purpose of her visit in one sentence.
Zhu Moye's eyes lit up, and he realized the Queen Mother's purpose for coming this time. The latter was not the son of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, but the proud disciple of Guanyin Bodhisattva. The two identities were completely different.
"Oh, I wonder how the Heavenly Court will deal with the anger of Li Tianwang?" Zhu Moye suddenly said slowly.
Sun Wukong glanced at Zhu Moye without saying anything. However, the Queen Mother's eyes sparkled as she looked at Zhu Moye and said, "You are indeed the Ming Emperor. I admire you!"
Zhu Moye moved his wrist and secretly showed his strength to the Queen Mother of the West.
"Queen Mother, we are all smart people, so why bother beating around the bush? If I say something by mistake and you misunderstand it, or if you say something and I misunderstand it, that would cause quite a mess, wouldn't it?"
The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Your Majesty, what you say makes sense. But Your Majesty, what power do you have to conspire with me?"
This statement is extremely straightforward: since everyone wants to cooperate, it is inevitable that they will have to share the benefits. However, how to share the benefits will naturally depend on strength.
To put it bluntly, everything is still the law of the jungle. Even in heaven, immortals are humans who have cultivated themselves into immortals, so they are bound to scheme against each other and deceive each other.
If you have the strength, we can cooperate with each other. If you don’t have the strength, we will swallow you up and use you as a tool. What complaints do you have?
"What strength do I have? Hehe, I don't have much. My elder brother and I have nothing. I don't know if the Queen Mother will see this strength?" Zhu Moye said.
The Queen Mother smiled and shook her head, indicating that it was not enough!
"Taoism emphasizes tranquility and inaction, while Buddhism emphasizes the salvation of all living beings. Unfortunately, as a superior, I hate people interfering in my affairs. If I were to be saved by Buddhism for the rest of my life, I wonder what I, the Human Emperor, would do?"
Zhu Moye suddenly sighed softly, looking unwilling. But his eyes were glancing at the Queen Mother, dark and bright, as if he could see through her thoughts. His face was full of smiles, and he looked harmless!
Chapter 747 Heaven's Plan
The Queen Mother looked at Zhu Moye deeply, and finally clapped her hands and said, "No wonder the Emperor Ming was able to rise from the grassroots in such a short time. His character and wisdom are truly outstanding among men!"
"The Emperor among Men!" Zhu Moye shyly reminded him, "Hey, I just wanted to do something small, but who knew that after working so hard, I would suddenly become the emperor. I didn't want this either, but there's nothing I can do. It's fate, so I have to do this."
Sun Wukong laughed, while Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu snorted in a very disrespectful manner.
There was something hidden in Zhu Moye's words. Although Sun Wukong was the king of all monkeys, he did not have so many intrigues, and the Queen Mother of the West was not a person who played tricks, so she did not react.
The Queen Mother heard it very clearly. Zhu Moye's words were a reminder of his extraordinaryness. Could an ordinary person become the Emperor of Man? Not even the Emperor of a small empire could become one.
To become an emperor, one needs infinite opportunities and luck. Even if a person without such luck is promoted to that position, he will not be able to bear it. He will either die young or become seriously ill. Even those with lower luck will have their empire overthrown.
The Li family had nearly three hundred years of good fortune, but now, in less than a hundred years, it was overthrown by Zhu Moye. How much good fortune did Zhu Moye bear?
The Tang Empire had tens of millions of people. What a force of popular will, and yet Zhu Moye easily bore it. The Heavenly Court sent a hundred thousand celestial soldiers down to conquer, but they were defeated by Zhu Moye and forced to recognize the Ming Empire he had founded. This was destiny.
And it's supreme luck! Luck is something you can't see, eat, or smell, but it's the secret of heaven. There are many mysterious things that even immortals can't explain, but luck plays a leading role in them.
The higher the level of cultivation, the more profound the things one encounters. Luck is something that even the Jade Emperor values extremely. If the Heavenly Court has a plan, coupled with the great luck of the Human Emperor, the chances of success will at least double.
Zhu Moye said he was the Ming Emperor, but he had the potential to become the tenth emperor since ancient times. This was supreme luck. The Jade Emperor also needed to carefully consider cooperating with such a person with great luck.
"Indeed, my elder brother and I have some doubts. If my guess is correct, the Heavenly Court wants to carve out its own path in this conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, right?" Zhu Moye did not give the Queen Mother time to continue beating around the bush and pointed this out directly.
As Zhu Moye spoke, his eyes were fixed on the Queen Mother and the Lady of the Nine Heavens. The Queen Mother was very shrewd and could not see anything. The Lady of the Nine Heavens was shocked and could not help but look away from Zhu Moye.
Sun Wukong was shocked. He looked at the Heavenly Court in amazement. He had never thought that the Heavenly Court could be so bold and courageous. They actually dared to carve out their own path in the midst of the conflict between Buddhism.
"Is this the plan of that old Jade Emperor?" Sun Wukong suddenly said.
The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and said decisively: "However, this is the Jade Emperor's decree!" The Queen Mother knew that now that Zhu Moye had pointed it out, she had to express her position, and it had to be a clear statement.
Especially in front of Sun Wukong, who was not as scheming as Zhu Moye. If he chose to cooperate with Sun Wukong but chose to do so secretly, it would only make Sun Wukong look down on him. Sun Wukong would definitely not choose to cooperate with such a person.
Originally, although Zhu Moye was a good choice, the Queen Mother knew that they did not consider Zhu Moye so important when they were planning. Now she realized that Zhu Moye occupied a very important position in terms of strength and scheming.
This is an extremely important and unexpected surprise!
"I don't know what the Heavenly Court's plan is. Are they so confident that they can compete with Buddhism and Taoism?" Zhu Moye asked. This was the question he cared about most.
Because no matter how you look at it, of the three major forces, Taoism, Buddhism, and Heaven, Heaven is the weakest. Moreover, compared with the other two, it is not even on the same level.
For ordinary people, especially mortals, Heaven is the place where the gods and immortals, the masters of the three realms, reside. However, for those who know the power of Buddhism and Taoism, Heaven is just a facade.
The Six Saints of the World, Zhunti Taoist, and Dipankara Taoist belong to the Western Religion, which is the predecessor of Buddhism. Taoism, on the other hand, has Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Nuwa, and Taishang Laojun.
Two to four, Buddhism is no match. But the Heavenly Court has no power of its own. If the Four Saints of Taoism were not united and had grievances with each other, I am afraid that it would have evolved into the idea that Buddha is Tao.
Zhu Moye was truly puzzled. If the Heavenly Court, as a sect, dared to become independent, who knew how the Buddhist and Taoist factions would deal with them. And what strength did the Heavenly Court have to contend with the Six Saints?
The Queen Mother smiled with a smug smile and said, "Hasn't the Emperor already guessed it?"
Sun Wukong looked at Zhu Moye and asked, "Brother, what have you guessed?"
Zhu Moye said slowly, "If you want to compete with the saints, you naturally need a saint to restrain them. First of all, Buddhists have always been very united. It is impossible for you to win over the Taoist Zhunti and the Taoist Burning Lamp."
"Yuanshi Tianzun has always been indifferent to worldly affairs. He is also the most powerful of the Six Saints, and his only concern is the Heavenly Dao. He took the final step and reached the realm of his master Hongjun, so he can also be ruled out. As for Tongtian Jiaozhu, although he is domineering, he has a grudge against Yuanshi Tianzun. He probably has no good impression of the Heavenly Court he once protected, and will not be attracted to you."
"That leaves Nuwa and Taishang Laojun. Laojun is a good man, but he's primarily a Taoist and has no interest in the status of Heaven. Nuwa, on the other hand, is the most compassionate. A conflict between Buddhism and Taoism would inevitably cause countless casualties. Nuwa should be looking after your Heaven, right?"
The Queen Mother nodded slightly and said, "As expected of the Emperor Ming, your analysis is exceptionally clear, but there is a slight error!"
Zhu Moye smiled and said, "The error you are talking about should be the Lord of Heaven. Although the latter does not care about the status of the Heavenly Court, he has no good feelings towards Buddhism.
Rather than letting Buddhism dominate the situation and even force Heaven to become its vassal, it would be better to let Heaven become independent. This also fits in with his plan. Am I right, Queen Mother?
The Jade Emperor had once gifted Zhu Moye with magical powers, and Zhu Moye knew that the Jade Emperor's mind was the most unpredictable. And this kind of person was also the most difficult to control. If Heaven wanted to use the Jade Emperor, it might not be that the Jade Emperor was using Heaven.
Chapter 748 Three Pillars
There finally appeared a look of wonder in the Queen Mother's eyes, the kind of look she gave as she was looking at a demon.
The Queen Mother suddenly felt a little lucky that she could actually meet Zhu Moye at this time, instead of letting Buddhism take this person away.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but feel happy. Such a person happened to be at odds with Buddhism, which was also the fortune of the Heavenly Court.
Zhu Moye was worried that his own performance wasn't impressive enough, so he continued, "That's my fault for saying I'd run into the Lady of the Nine Heavens and the Queen Mother here. I guess it was Nuwa who signaled that, right?"
"Indeed, Nuwa's place of origin is in West Kunlun, and you, Queen Mother, are also from Kunlun. In terms of the overall environment, you can be considered to be of the same lineage. I guess you only dared to implement this plan after receiving Nuwa's guidance, right?"
The Queen Mother smiled, stood up, bowed to Zhu Moye and said, "It is a blessing for our Heavenly Court that Buddhism has offended you!"
Zhu Moye humbly waved his hand and said, "Nothing, just a nobody. I don't have the strength, so I have to use my brain. Fortunately, I have a plan for my own life and death. Otherwise, I would be sold out by others without knowing what to do. I would be too stupid."
The look in the eyes of Lady Jiu Tian when she looked at Zhu Moye also changed. There was a little more surprise and a little more recognition. It turned out that this bastard was not so useless after all!
Sun Wukong had been silent except at the beginning. He finally said, "Queen Mother, it's not that I don't trust you, but the strength of your Heavenly Court is far inferior. How can you compete with Buddhism?"
"Besides, the majority of people in Heaven are Buddhists. Are they willing to fight for you instead of capturing you?"
The Queen Mother smiled complacently, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. In the eyes of those who truly understand the status of Heaven, Heaven is a joke. It's just a job to finish things off for others. It has been like this for many years. Otherwise, why has Heaven never had any sense of belonging? That's the reason."
The Heavenly Court is also filled with people who don't feel like they belong. Those who are disliked by both Buddhism and Taoism are exiled to the Heavenly Court. So, are they fighting for their own status, or for the masters who abandoned them? I guess the Great Sage has his own plans, right?
Zhu Moye also had some realization. No wonder the Heavenly Court’s fighting power was so low. It turned out that this was one of the reasons.
"Also, you two can rest assured that Li Jing's family will not cause you any trouble. Goddess Nuwa has already promised that she can reshape Mu Zha's soul and let him be reborn later, so the Li family will work harder than you two." The Queen Mother revealed another secret.
Sun Wukong and Zhu Moye exchanged glances, and both agreed somewhat with the Queen Mother's words. If anyone in this world could bring back a dead immortal, it would be Nuwa.
The Queen Mother stood up, and the Queen Mother of the West followed behind her.
"Such an important matter certainly does not need to be decided face to face. You two can think about it more. The Jade Emperor and I are waiting for your reply." After the Queen Mother finished speaking, the figure disappeared and turned into a stone statue again, and the Queen Mother of the West turned back into the guard and walked out, unaware of what was happening here.
A gentle power was bestowed upon the two men. When Zhu Moye looked again, he found that they were already in front of Kunlun Mountain, and the two guards stood behind and continued to guard as if they did not see them.
"Brother, do you believe what the Queen Mother said?" Sun Wukong asked, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes, but also a hint of hope.
He had just discussed with Zhu Moye that he would surrender to Nuwa, which was indirectly a surrender to Taoism. Unexpectedly, Nuwa was now going to split from Taoism, establish herself as a king, and become the guardian of the Heavenly Palace.
Things were changing too quickly. For a moment, even Sun Wukong, who called himself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and fearless, couldn't help but think more about his future prospects.
Zhu Moye was filled with excitement and agitation. He had never imagined that things would turn out this way. It was as if he, a little butterfly, had flapped his wings, and the entire Journey to the West world had been turned upside down.
Zhu Moye was extremely looking forward to the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, because heroes emerge in troubled times. Only when the world of Journey to the West was completely in chaos would he have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and rise up, and only then would he be able to carve out a path of his own.
Only then can I complete those ultimate tasks and leave this world full of gods and Buddhas. After all, the days of seeing gods when I look up and immortals when I look down are really too hard to endure.
Zhu Moye also thought that he was very powerful, but in such a world, Zhu Moye did not feel much safe!
But I didn't expect that even the Heavenly Court would want to come out and fight for supremacy. But on closer thought, it was indeed possible. The world was about to be in chaos, so why wouldn't they come out and fight for it if they had the strength? How many years would it take for such an opportunity to come again?
After this village, there will be no such store!
For example, Nuwa, who was considered a demon, was ostracized by others because she created humans and had great merits for the entire world. Although she was one of the Four Sages of Taoism, she lived alone in the West Kunlun Mountains.
Seeing that Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu's magic power was becoming more and more profound, and they were surpassing them, originally the six people were at the same level, but seeing that the two of them had a tendency to surpass the four of them, Nuwa, as the mother of mankind, naturally still had some psychological gap.
After all, when it comes to Taoism, the first people that come to mind are naturally Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu. Taishang Laojun is considered a somewhat remote figure, not to mention Nuwa who lives far away in West Kunlun.
Why? Because they enjoy the people’s sacrifices and the great opportunities!
Zhunti and Diandeng are the two who rule Buddhism, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu are the masters of Taoism, so why can't Nuwa and Taishang Laojun rule the Heavenly Palace? Isn't it a balance when these three parties stand side by side?
Zhu Moye had an active mind and was calculating various possibilities in his mind, but the more he thought about it, the more correct he became.
People fight for a breath, Buddhas fight for a stick of incense, it's the same principle.
Even with this idea in mind, Zhu Moye and Sun Wukong still went to West Kunlun. After all, such a major matter still needed to be understood in person by Nuwa.
The two arrived at the entrance of West Kunlun, where Yang Chan, the Third Holy Mother, was already waiting. Zhu Moye knew it was most likely the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady who informed her. After all, both of them had served with Nuwa for a period of time, so the two women must have a good relationship.
An evil thought suddenly came to Zhu Moye's mind. Could it be that the Lady of the Nine Heavens targeted him specifically because she knew about the relationship between him and the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan?
Chapter 749 Goodbye Nuwa
After seeing Zhu Moye, Third Holy Mother Yang Chan also saw Sun Wukong. She waved to Zhu Moye happily, moved her body, but then stopped.
Zhu Moye couldn't help but give Sun Wukong a cold look, ran over, hugged the somewhat reserved Third Holy Mother in his arms, and spun around.
The Third Holy Mother Yang Chan shyly hit Zhu Moye and shouted, "What are you doing? Put me down." Zhu Moye put Yang Chan down. The latter snorted and twisted Zhu Moye's waist hard.
Her movements and expressions are exactly like a little girl in love, so cute.
"Do you miss me a lot? You left so decisively last time. You didn't even know that people were so heartbroken watching your back." Zhu Moye said, moving closer to Yang Chan with a lecherous look on his face.
Yang Chan was so embarrassed that she quickly took a few steps back and shouted, "Shame on you! I'm not related to you. What's it to you whether I leave or not? Are you really sad?" The last sentence revealed her thoughts, and she was still a little happy.
"Of course!" Zhu Moye said. Yang Chan felt shy again when she saw Sun Wukong walking towards her leisurely.
"By order of Goddess Nuwa, please invite the Emperor Minghuang and the Great Sage to come for an audience!" Yang Chan said with a serious face.
Zhu Moye and Sun Wukong all have great respect for Nuwa, as she is the great benefactor of the demon race and the ancestor of the demon race.
This was not the first time Zhu Moye had seen Nuwa, but he still felt excited to be able to meet Nuwa again.
This is different from Guanyin Bodhisattva. Although Zhu Moye always teases Guanyin with his words, his admiration for Guanyin Bodhisattva in his heart has not diminished at all.
It's just that everyone's stance is different, which determines the hostile relationship between the two sides. It's like you admire your enemy's character, but on the battlefield, would you choose to let him go, or even let him go? That's courting death!
It was precisely because he respected Guanyin Bodhisattva too much that Zhu Moye did that. He was creating a clue for himself. Of course, if he succeeded in the end and completed the two ultimate tasks, Zhu Moye would never do anything to Guanyin.
Zhu Moye had seen too many of the wonders of the immortal world and was somewhat immune to them. However, when he arrived at the blessed land where Nuwa was practicing, he felt sincerely that this was the true place where immortals practiced.
Cranes are flying in the sky, and colorful clouds are everywhere. Sometimes it rains, but it is a magical rain. When it falls on your body, it does not make your clothes wet, but gives you a misty yet refreshing feeling, as if washing away all the dust.
Fairy air lingers all around, and distant mountains appear in the air, seeming to disappear and disappear. When they appear, a majestic and majestic momentum comes over you, making people feel awe-inspiring. When they disappear, mysterious things are revealed, as if there are magical secrets, which is fascinating.
Sun Wukong was also very excited. Compared with the paradise he had seen before, this place was a real paradise on earth.
Yang Chan looked at the two people who were fascinated by the surrounding environment, and felt a little proud in her heart, and a hint of pride appeared at the corner of her mouth.
A ray of light appeared, it was Nuwa!
"Meet Nuwa!" Zhu Moye and Sun Wukong did not dare to delay and hurried to join.
"No need to be polite, sit down!" said Nuwa. With a wave of her hand, two chairs appeared behind the two men. In front of them, a table appeared, each with a glass of wine on it.
The wine is emerald green in color and has a mellow taste. It looks like an attractive sight that can penetrate the underworld, which is very magical.
"This is the immortal wine brewed personally by the Empress. You can have a taste of it." The Third Holy Mother Yang Chan said, secretly winking at Zhu Moye, indicating that this immortal wine was extraordinary and should be swallowed in one gulp.
Zhu Moye's heart moved, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. It was as if a cold current flowed down his throat, almost freezing his body in an instant.
Mana surged up, protecting his throat as the wine began to flow down his throat. The extreme cold instantly turned into extreme heat, as if boiling his internal organs. Zhu Moye felt as if his body was about to burst into flames, but he did not feel the pain.
Strange cries rang out in his mind one after another, a very strange feeling. Zhu Moye felt that those sounds came from himself, but they were not himself, as if there was some unknown evil thought or strange clone in his body.
The blood in his chest surged, and Zhu Moye couldn't help but burp, and a black air gushed out. There was actually a shouting voice inside, which turned into a ghost with a human head and wanted to roar at Zhu Moye.
