Chapter 1358
For Ju Mang Zu Wu, after he obtained the authority of the Wood Dao, it can be said that if nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely have a seat as the Dao Lord.
After spending some time in seclusion and mastering these authorities, he originally just wanted to take a break, and by the way, understand the current situation of the world, and then continue to retreat and impact.
But he didn't expect that after such a short period of seclusion, he would hear such a thing after coming out of seclusion.
Zhao Baiyang actually achieved enlightenment!
Others are not familiar with Zhao Baiyang. As one of the earliest returning cultivators, Ju Mang Zu Wu and Zhao Baiyang have also dealt with each other.
It is true that Zhao Baiyang has had extraordinary opportunities and good fortunes over the years. It is already a surprise that he can reach the sixth level of the True Immortal, but the resources that the other party can obtain are still much worse than his own.
Originally thought that after he reached a deal with Mu De Xingjun and obtained the authority of the Wood Dao, he would be the first among the many True Immortals in the sixth level to achieve the existence of the Dao Lord.
But he didn't expect that after such a short period of retreat, the other party had already achieved the status of Dao Lord. Not only Zhao Baiyang, but also the two Demon Lords of the Demon Dao also achieved the status of Dao Lord at the same time.
The appearance of three Dao Lords in succession had a great impact on the originally high-spirited Zuwu Ju Mang.
Fortunately, his Dao heart was not so fragile. Even though he had a lot of ups and downs in his heart after hearing the news that the other party had achieved the status of Dao Lord, he soon calmed down.
"Is it the leader and the Red Blood Ancestor who took action this time?" Ju Mang asked Zhu Jiuyin directly.
Although he had received some information and had some guesses in his heart, he did not personally participate in this matter, so he naturally needed to inquire about it.
And Zhu Jiuyin in front of him was undoubtedly a person who knew the answer. You must know the other party's status in the Wushen Sect, and no secrets would be hidden from him.
The Wushen Sect is centered on the Zuwu, and only the talents who hold the position of Zuwu are the real controllers of the Wushen Sect, but it does not mean that the Zuwu can know everything.
According to the power distribution within the Wushen Cult, each of their ancestor witches only holds a part of the power. As ancestor witches, if they are not certified, Daojun only has the honorific position of ancestor witches, but some things will not be directly told.
It is not because of distrust or insufficient status, but to take some precautions to prevent some very confidential things from being leaked.
The development of the Shenzhou world to the present stage can be said to be an unimaginable flourishing age of cultivation. Various magical skills have been created, which can be said to be a hundred shots in a row.
And some magical skills have effects beyond imagination, especially when they are performed in the hands of Daojun.
Some magical skills were created specifically to deduce the secrets of heaven and to spy on some secrets.
If the ancestor witches at the level of true immortals know some secrets, even if they can keep the secrets themselves, they can easily leak them out inadvertently in the face of those strange magical skills.
Just like the Zhu Jiuyin ancestor witch in front of him, his strength is not in his powerful fighting power. Indeed, as the most powerful existence under the Dao Lord, he is a strong man in the entire Zhutian Realm Sea, and he is also a powerful fighting force for the Wushen Cult.
However, the Wushen Cult, which has several Dao Lords, does not lack such strong men. Instead, it is the law of time that Zhu Jiuyin has mastered that allows him to have a special status in the Wushen Cult.
Using the law of time to explore the long river of time, to spy on some traces of the past and the future in the long river of time, and to use these clues to find some information they want, this is the most terrifying thing.
The horror and mystery of the law of time is not inferior to the law of destiny in some cases.
Therefore, there are some things that Zhu Jiuyin knows, but Ju Mang does not know, because after he knows it, it is possible that this information will be stolen by others.
At the moment, in front of Zhu Jiuyin, the other party's time power is enough to block everything around, even the Dao Lord cannot detect it, so he dares to ask so, otherwise it may be stolen by others.
Although the matter has ended, since the Wushen Cult Master and the Red Blood Ancestor were very low-key and did not want to show up, it proves that there is no need to show up.
After all, some things, although everyone knows and guesses, but without full evidence and without being put on the surface, everything is not a big problem, and it can still be somewhat decent.
"Yes." Zhu Jiuyin nodded slightly without denying.
Even if they deliberately kept a low profile this time, whether it was the Wushen Cult Master or the Red Blood Ancestor, these two were strong men with distinctive characteristics, and their actions must have been known to others.
And others don't know, the two Buddhist Taoist Bodhisattvas who really fought with them, can they not know who their opponents are.
It hasn't been made known to everyone until now, it's nothing more than the two Buddhist Bodhisattvas who feel that this failure is too embarrassing and are embarrassed to publicize it.
Although it is not known to ordinary strong men, it is already a secret in the circle of Taoists.
As for why Ju Mang knew, it was because of some things related to the Wushen Cult. They coveted some things in Zhao Baiyang's hands, and they also had some connections with the Red Blood Ancestor himself.
The Wushen Cult's Hou Tu Yu Zun was in charge of the underworld, and the power of the Wushen Cult was almost all infiltrated in the underworld. The Red Blood Ancestor received an invitation from the Changsheng Daojun to surround the underworld with a blood river to prevent outsiders from easily entering and leaving.
Even if the two sides had no connection in the past, they have been neighbors for so many years, so they have some incense and affection.
Moreover, it is not just that. Apart from other things, it is simply because the Buddhist sect has been constantly spying on the underworld and has been trying to intervene in the underworld many times, which has hurt the common interests of the Red Blood Ancestor and the Wushen Sect.
In this case, there is a common enemy. Everyone joins forces to deal with the Buddhist sect. Even if they cannot become all-round allies, they have a common language in fighting against the Buddhist sect.
Even if there is no support and help from the Wushen Sect behind the scenes, it would not be easy for the Red Blood Ancestor to stop the Buddhist sect in these years, even if the other party is a powerful old Taoist.
So it is not difficult for the two to join forces when they have common interests, especially this time to obstruct the Buddhist sect’s actions and weaken it.
As for Zhao Baiyang, Zhao Baiyang is known as the enemy of Buddha. The Wushen Cult has a lot in common with him in this regard. In addition, some of the things that the other party has in his hands are actually of great use to the Wushen Cult. They have always wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get them.
"Did you get the things in Zhao Baiyang's hands this time?" Ju Mang asked Zhu Jiuyin.
After confirming that the Wushen Cult leader had taken action, Ju Mang did not continue to ask about the details of the plot. After all, these are actually irrelevant. Compared with them, what Zhao Baiyang has in his hands.
"I got it." Zhu Jiuyin nodded. If these things were not in hand, how could he be willing to take action.
Although they, the Wushen Cult, have always coveted the things in Zhao Baiyang's hands, they did not directly rob them, nor did they insist on it. They just expressed the idea of exchanging.
This time, since Zhao Baiyang took the initiative to invite the Wushen Cult to take action, it is natural to take out this thing as a bargaining chip for the transaction, and even take it out first.
Of course, this point was also proposed by Zhao Baiyang. After all, he was also worried that if the things were not taken out, the other party would not work hard.
You must know that this thing is indeed important to the Wushen Cult, but it is not absolutely impossible to give up. On the contrary, his life is only one.
"What are you going to do next? Continue to cooperate or maintain the current situation." Ju Mang asked Zhu Jiuyin.
In the past, Zhao Baiyang was just a true immortal. Even if he had the things that the Wushen Cult needed, the Wushen Cult did not rob them, which was a great restraint. The two sides had no basis for cooperation.
But now it is different. Zhao Baiyang has been promoted to Daojun. Such a strong man, even if he is just a newly promoted Daojun, has the qualifications to be equal to the Wushen Cult.
In the current situation, Zhao Baiyang is not just one person, but there are two Daojun strongmen behind him. If they can achieve a joint effort, it will be a very good thing for the Wushen Cult.
Of course, the matter of joining forces is never that simple. There was no basis for trust before. This is just an attempt. As for whether it can really succeed in the end, no one is sure.
"I don't know. The other party did not comment on our proposal." Zhu Jiuyin shook his head slightly and said.
For a newly promoted Dao Lord, the two sides not only had no grudges before, but also had this cooperation. The leader of the Wushen Sect would naturally extend an olive branch. He did not ask for immediate cooperation, so as not to turn against each other.
However, Zhao Baiyang did not respond immediately to the Wushen Sect's goodwill. Instead, he said that his injuries had not recovered yet, and he still needed to discuss this matter with others. It was not that he could make decisions for others just because he was certified as a Dao Lord.
There was nothing wrong with such an answer, and the Wushen Sect could not find any faults, so he nodded and agreed.
Of course, the Wushen Sect's attitude was not only because the other party was a Dao Lord and was unwilling to force it, but also because the Wushen Sect's proposal was made casually, or in other words, with the power of the Wushen Sect, the Wushen Sect did not care whether the other party really joined, as long as the other party did not oppose the Wushen Sect.
Zhu Jiuyin also recognized this point. The Wushen Cult had its own plan, and everything they did was centered around that plan. Even if they cooperated with Zhao Baiyang, it could only be shallow cooperation, not too deep.
After all, the two sides had their own interests in addition to the common enemy when facing the Buddhist sect. Before reaching a real consensus, forced cooperation would do more harm than good.
"Yes, we only need to consider our own affairs. If the other party agrees, it will be icing on the cake, and if the other party does not agree, it does not matter." Ju Mang thought for a while and said.
He had enough confidence in the strength of the Wushen Cult. Not to mention that there were several Taoist-level ancestors of the Wushen Cult now. After he became a Taoist, the Wushen Cult would have another ancestor-level combat power, which was fully confident in completing the plan.
Moreover, the power structure of the Wushen Cult was completely different from that of other sects. For other sects, if there were Taoist masters willing to join, the two sides could redivide the power, so that they could achieve true integration.
However, the core of the Wushen Cult is destined to be the twelve ancestor witches. A strong person who has not obtained the authority of the twelve ancestor witches cannot obtain sufficient authority.
Even if Zhao Baiyang cooperates with the Wushen Cult, if he cannot obtain the honorable position of the ancestor witch, it means that he cannot really have common interests and goals with the Wushen Cult, and there will inevitably be differences between the two sides.
As for changing the power structure of Wushen Cult, I'm sorry that it's not because the Wushen Cult leader is conservative and stubborn, but because the power structure of Wushen Cult is the foundation of Wushen Cult and cannot be changed at all.
Rashly shaking the power structure of Wushen Cult will not only not make Wushen Cult stronger, but will push Wushen Cult to the edge of a cliff, and it will fall to pieces if it is not careful.
Just like inviting Taoist masters to join, the reason why Huode Star Lord can really gain trust is that in addition to the fact that both parties have investigated each other for a long time, there is another reason that Huode Star Lord can get the honorable position of Zhurong, the ancestor of fire.
No matter what ideas and purposes Huode Star Lord had before, once he took the honorable position of Zhurong, the ancestor of fire, and understood the real plan of Wushen Cult, he would know how much benefit there is.
No one is willing to give up huge benefits, especially when this benefit is not a pie in the sky drawn by others, but a certain existence that can be touched.
"But this time, I'm afraid that this move will make the Buddhist sect even more dissatisfied." Ju Mang thought for a while and said.
"Anything that is done will inevitably lead to one party being dissatisfied. If we do something and others are unmoved, then in some ways we have failed." Zhu Jiuyin said indifferently.
The relationship between them and the Buddhist sect was not very good to begin with. The conflict between the two sides was not only due to the issue of the power of the underworld, but also a struggle of ideas.
What is the origin of the Wushen Sect? It was originally in charge of the authority of human sacrifice. The emergence of Confucianism took away their authority of sacrifice, and the two sides became enemies.
However, apart from the Wushen Sect, the style of Buddhism that does not respect ancestors, only fears cause and effect, and believes in the next life is actually not liked by the Wushen Sect.
You must know that although the Wushen Sect is only the oldest sacrifice of the human race, it also represents the fearless spirit of the human race's ancestors who dare to fight against the world and the myriad races. It is precisely because of this spirit that the powerful human race has been shaped.
The emergence of the sects and ideologies of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Demonism was a struggle with the Wushen Cult for the right to interpret the scriptures, but in the eyes of the Wushen Cult, Buddhism was the most damnable because it was digging up the roots of the human spirit.
