Chapter 1314: The Hesitation of the Lord of Wood
The five elements are the basic laws for the construction of heaven and earth. There are many people who practice the five elements, but they are not ordinary. When their true practice reaches the limit, each one is extremely powerful, and if the five elements gather together, it is even more terrifying.
At the time of the Conferred God War, the Peacock King of the demon clan was born with the five elements. It was difficult to find an opponent with his five elements divine light. Even the Taoist of Changsheng took a lot of effort to break the five elements divine light.
The appearance of the five elements formation has long been untraceable. Whether it is Taoism, Buddhism, Demonism, Confucianism, etc., they all control the five elements formation, and they have derived countless formations from it.
However, the peak of the five elements formation was when the Five Virtues True Lords joined forces to set it up in the B-level No. 1 world and fought against the True Immortal Emperor as the strongest.
Of course, some people think that it was not the peak. After all, at that time, the Fire Virtue Star Lord only borrowed part of his power and did not really use the power of the True Immortal.
The most suitable people to set up the Five Elements Array in the Heavenly Court today are the Five Virtues Star Lords and the Five Elder Lords of the Five Directions.
However, since the Fire Virtues Star Lord has become the Dao Lord, not to mention that he does not need to borrow the power of the array, but also because the strength of the Five Virtues Star Lords is unbalanced, the rotation of the Five Elements Array cannot be deduced to the peak.
Therefore, the only ones who can really use the Five Elements Array to the limit are the Five Elder Lords. When they were exploring the world, the Five Elder Lords were only at the level of the third level of the True Immortal Realm, but they relied on the Five Elements Array to defeat a powerful person at the fifth level of the True Immortal Realm and suppressed him.
Although the Five Elements Array has never really been revealed since these five people entered the sixth level of the True Immortal Realm, no one has forgotten the horror of the Five Elements Array. Even some Dao Lords exaggeratedly believe that if the Five Elements Array is displayed by the five Elder Lords of the current sixth level of the True Immortal Realm, they can completely fight against the Dao Lord.
Although such a statement is considered exaggerated and flattering, it also indirectly recognizes the horror and terror of the Five Elements Array.
The Five Elements Array that the current Qinglingshi Laojun has set up with the Five Elements authority borrowed from the other four is indeed not as good as the five Laojuns' real bodies combined, but even so, the power displayed is unimaginable.
Especially Mude Star Lord himself also understands the Five Elements Array, and he knows the horror of the Five Elements Avenue and the restraint of his Wood Dao authority.
The Five Elements are mutually generated and restrained. All the strong people who practice the Five Elements Avenue are restrained by the Five Elements Array while restraining the Five Elements Array. As for who can suppress whom, it depends on who has stronger power.
Even if Mude Star Lord understands the Five Elements Array and knows where the shortcomings of the Five Elements Array are, the power in his hands is not enough to catch the flaws and break it.
The life and death power he exerted was even more powerful when dealing with other people, but at this moment, facing the annihilation of the Five Elements Dao, the deterrent power it brought was less than half of what it used to be. Therefore, although his own strength and combat power were superior, he was suppressed.
However, for the Wood De Star Lord, his advantage was that he knew that the opponent's power was only temporary, and as time went on, the Five Elements Formation would not be able to be maintained, and then it would be time for him to counterattack.
Especially when he saw that no one came forward to stop him and the Ju Mang Zu Wu came, he knew that the final victory lay in himself.
You must know that he was also surprised by the attack of the Qingling Shi Laojun, and he definitely did not think of using this to lure the other party to attack.
After all, after this transaction was completed, he completely gave up the power of wood. It can be said that there was no dispute with the Qingling Shi Laojun, and there was no need to plot against the other party.
He was not afraid of the Qingling Shi Laojun, nor the other five Laojuns, but these five people were supported by the Taoist Daojun behind them, so he did not need to make enemies with them.
If it can bring benefits to oneself, it is fine, but even if the other party's authority is planned to be given to Ju Mang Zu Wu, Ju Mang Zu Wu will not give oneself more benefits, or it can only be said that the benefits can be given to oneself are so much.
After all, the master of the underworld is not the Wushen Cult. What the Wushen Cult can take out now is their limit, and they can't take out more.
In some cases, even if they take out more things, Mu De Xingjun dare not accept it, because he knows the value of his own wood Dao authority and Mu De Xingjun's position.
For example, if you have a top-level immortal weapon in your hand and want to sell it, others give you resources similar to a top-level immortal weapon, whether more or less, which represents the cognitive value of both parties, and it is still good faith.
However, for a top-level immortal weapon, the other party is willing to pay for it. It is almost two top-level immortal weapons or even more resources in exchange. Even if the other party needs this top-level immortal weapon again, but taking out so many resources in exchange, this represents a different meaning.
If the other party gives unimaginable resources, it proves that the other party wants to buy your life, which is not a sincere transaction at all.
Therefore, if there is not much benefit, he will not take advantage of others, and he does not want to offend the Taoist master.
In the final analysis, he is still a member of the Taoist sect. He makes deals with the Wushen Sect and fights with the Qinglingshi Laojun. This is to protect his own interests. Even the Taoist masters have no reason to say anything.
But joining forces with outsiders to plot against Qinglingshi Laojun is to betray the Taoist sect, collude with outsiders, and betray the Taoist sect. This is a serious crime.
Of course, such problems can be big or small. If there is someone to rely on, such things are nothing and no one will investigate. But if there is no one to protect him, once such things are exposed, they will attract criticism from all sides and no one will stop them.
In the final analysis, because he is a casual cultivator, he has no foundation in the Taoism. At least compared with his position, he lacks the support of the Taoist Lord.
Even if he wants to trade for the position of the underworld god now and become one of the Ten Yama Kings in the underworld in the future, Mu De Xingjun has not yet given up his identity in the Taoism and is unwilling to join the Wushen Sect, even though he is only a casual cultivator in the Taoism.
He is indeed a casual cultivator in the Taoism, but even if he joins the Wushen Sect, there may not be any benefits. After all, everyone knows that unless the Wushen Sect is a strong man who directly holds the position of the ancestor witch, anyone who joins halfway cannot become the core.
The key is that although he is not the core of this sect, he will not be subject to too many constraints. Even if he becomes a Taoist master in the future and opens up a Taoist vein, he can become a giant and the founder of a sect.
However, if he joins the Wushen Sect, even if he becomes a Taoist master and controls the power of life and death in the netherworld, as long as he does not get the honorable position of the ancestor witch, he will still be considered an outsider and cannot control the core power of the Wushen Sect.
This is determined by the system between the two. It is precisely because of this that even though the Wushen Sect is so powerful, their own system determines that they are quite exclusive and not too many strong people will join them.
The looseness of the Tao Sect, but there is quite a bit of an environment where the capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted. As long as you are strong enough and can make contributions to the Tao Sect, you can get promoted.
Therefore, unless there is really no way out, Mu De Xingjun is not willing to really want to betray the Tao Sect and join the Wushen Sect.
Of course, although he could not kill Qinglingshi Laojun because he did not want to betray the Dao Sect, it did not mean that he would be timid in the face of Qinglingshi Laojun's attack.
In the final analysis, it was Qinglingshi Laojun who attacked him first. No matter what counterattack he made, it was reasonable. Even if Daojun questioned him in the future and he brought the case to Changsheng Daojun, he would not be at fault.
As long as Qinglingshi Laojun was saved, no one in the Dao Sect could blame him in this matter. Instead, they would support him and stand on his side.
It was okay to prove the true immortal. To prove the Daojun, one needed to control one tenth of a great way. There were three thousand great ways in the world today, plus the countless derived great ways. It seemed that there was no big problem.
But in fact, most practitioners who had proved the true immortal took one of the three thousand great ways. Although the other derived great ways were not necessarily weaker than the three thousand great ways, it was not easy to practice the derived great ways.
The path of the Great Dao is extremely difficult, and the derived Great Daos are all based on the Three Thousand Great Daos. Some derived Great Daos may be weaker than the Three Thousand Great Daos, but there are also some that are better than the original.
However, no matter how strong or weak the derived Great Dao is, it actually requires extraordinary understanding. This is to walk out of one's own path on the original Three Thousand Great Daos and open up new paths. Not everyone is qualified.
Apart from such pioneers, the rest of the True Immortals are actually fighting for the original share of the Three Thousand Great Daos. In other words, it seems that there is no limit, but in fact, when it reaches a certain level, the number of Dao Lords is limited. The more authority shares the first Dao Lords collect, the less chance the later ones have.
In terms of the Great Dao of Wood alone, Qingling Shi Laojun, Mude Xingjun and Jumang Zuwu are the three with the largest share, but it does not mean that there are no other True Immortals walking the Great Dao of Wood except them. It's just that those people don't have enough shares and their influence is not big enough, so they are not qualified to compete with them.
In the entire Shenzhou world, the fight for the origin of the law of the Great Dao has never stopped. Everyone wants to get more and occupy a high position.
Let alone other things, the strong men who practice the same Great Dao in the Dao Sect are definitely not just Mu De Xingjun and Qing Ling Shi Laojun. Even if there are some fights between them, they still maintain basic decency and do not directly put the conflict on the surface.
Now Qing Ling Shi Laojun attacks Mu De Xingjun. If he succeeds directly, it will be fine. After all, the winner is not blamed. If he can directly prove that he is a Taoist, even if someone is dissatisfied, he can only suppress the matter.
Of course, this will inevitably cause a series of effects, making some strong men in the Dao Sect think that if he can do it, I can do it too, which will make everyone feel insecure, vigilant in their hearts, and the weak will stick together.
But Qing Ling Shi Laojun not only failed, he also failed directly. At least for now, he did not show direct suppression, giving Mu De Xingjun the opportunity to fight back and reverse the situation.
Then the counterattack of the Lord of Wood is within the rules. If his counterattack cannot be supported, and someone wants to take this opportunity to suppress him, then it will be a real mess.
The Taoist sect is not the Demon Sect. There are rules in the Taoist sect. It is precisely because of these rules that the Taoist sect can be both loose and united, and become a place that many people yearn for.
If a strong person can attack others for no reason because of a dispute over Taoism without being punished, then what is the difference between the Taoist sect and the Demon Sect?
This time, it was because Mude Star Lord was strong enough that he crushed the plan of Qingling Shi Laojun. If it was someone else, would they have died in vain if they did not have enough strength?
No one wants to practice hard and finally become a stepping stone for others and a resource for others to climb up.
So this time, as long as Mude Star Lord stands up, there will definitely be someone to respond to him and support him, otherwise the rules of this sect will be messed up.
This is also the idea that Mude Star Lord has room for, because everything can still be turned around.
But if he kills Qingling Shi Laojun directly, it will be a bit unclear.
If he suppresses it alone, even if it looks like fishing, other Dao Lords will not say anything.
After all, suppressing Qingling Shi Laojun alone and seizing the other party's Mu Dao authority, such a Mude Star Lord is equivalent to getting a ticket to be promoted to Dao Lord. Even if the other Dao Lords are dissatisfied, they will not offend the new Dao Lord because of a fallen Qingling Shi Laojun.
But now there is the appearance of Ju Mang Zu Wu, and with the presence of Wu Shen Cult, if Qing Ling Shi Lao Jun is killed directly, it is a bit unclear, and it is easy to be considered as colluding with outsiders to harm fellow Taoists.
Those Taoist immortals are worried that if the power is seized by the strong, they will sympathize with Mu De Xing Jun because of the hurt of the same kind, but if Mu De Xing Jun and Ju Mang join forces, it will become collusion with outsiders to murder fellow Taoists, which they also do not want to see.
This requires a degree. Although Mu De Xing Jun is very dissatisfied with Qing Ling Shi Lao Jun's sneak attack and is furious, he has to consider how to go next and needs to compromise.
As a casual cultivator, he has seen all kinds of scenes. It is indeed refreshing to kill people in anger, but he does not want to see serious consequences.
As a casual cultivator, he sometimes does not really use things in a meaningful way, but will be more rational, in order to maximize his own interests and make himself gain more benefits.
Of course, this is Mu De Xing Jun's idea, and no one has told him.
However, in this situation, he and Ju Mang Zu Wu teamed up to deal with Qing Ling Shi Lao Jun. This news spread to the Wan Fa Realm, causing the other five Lao Juns to change their faces and be horrified. (End of this chapter)
