Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 378 Lingshan Conference
Lingshan, Lingji Bodhisattva came back and told the story again.

"Humph, what does the Jade Emperor want to do? Is he deliberately setting up Lingshan to turn against Lingshan?"

Miroku was furious.

"The Jade Emperor must have forgotten that Buddhism is about to flourish. He didn't try to curry favor with Lingshan, and he dared to flatter Lingshan."

Dizang was also very unhappy.

As soon as these two took the lead, all the Western religious sects immediately started to curse the Jade Emperor in high spirits. They held their heads high with an arrogant look, and they all believed that Buddhism was about to become popular and that the Jade Emperor should curry favor with Lingshan.

"This is why the Jade Emperor is targeting Lingshan." Tathagata couldn't stand it anymore. The Westerners were teaching these idiots.

It's this group of idiots who show off all day long and make the Jade Emperor unhappy. You can warn the Jade Emperor to fight for sovereignty, but you can't think of riding on the Jade Emperor's head.

"What do you mean? Even now, Lingshan is stronger than Heaven. Why should we bow to the Jade Emperor?" Maitreya was very dissatisfied.

"Behind the Jade Emperor is the Taoist Patriarch, who is behind Lingshan?" Tathagata shook his head speechlessly.

"Of course it's the two Buddhas." The holy Buddha raised his head proudly.

"But Daozu is the teacher of the two Buddhas. Don't you think the two Buddhas can beat Daozu?"

"Now you are thinking of riding on my head, which is a slap in the face of Daozu and Tiangang. Not to mention that the Jade Emperor is unwilling, Daozu will not be happy either."

"Sun Wukong is disobedient. We want to replace Sun Wukong. If we are disobedient, what will Daozu do?"

Tathagata said with some disdain.

Zhunti and Jie Yin are both good at conspiracy, so how come they taught a bunch of idiots?

Upon hearing Tathagata's words, the expressions of the Buddhas suddenly changed drastically.

"Back then I was able to establish Mahayana Buddhism to replace Western religion. Do you think the Taoist is incapable of establishing another Buddhism to replace Lingshan Buddhism?" Tathagata dropped another bombshell.

The expressions of the Buddhas changed again, especially those of the Western religion, who were a little panicked.

“Then, then what should we do?” Maitreya was the most panicked. If he was replaced again, the Western religious lineage would be destroyed.

"You can compete with the Jade Emperor, but you can't think of riding on his head and usurping his throne. It would be best if you can be on an equal footing with the Heavenly Court."

"As long as we obey, Daozu will not make things difficult for Lingshan."

Tathagata did not explain it too clearly. The three religions are the orthodox traditions of Taoism. The purpose of the three religions entering Buddhism is to steal the fortune of Buddhism, and most of this fortune will eventually be offered to Taoism.

Daozu got the luck, Lingshan was behaving well, so Daozu naturally would not make things difficult for him.

But if Lingshan does not know what is good for it and wants to usurp the throne and ride on the shoulders of the Taoist tradition passed down by Daozu, Daozu will never allow it.

If they are not obedient, then replace them with a group of obedient ones. Daozu can definitely do it.

After hearing what Tathagata said, Maitreya finally reacted and felt a little scared. He realized that he should not be arrogant. Once he was arrogant, he would do something stupid.

At this moment, he was even somewhat glad that it was Tathagata who was in charge.

"Then, what should we do now?" Dizang was also a little scared.

After the commotion caused by the Three Golden Crows, they now know that Daozu is not a good person and has great ambitions.

"We can no longer go against the Jade Emperor, but we can't show weakness easily either. Lingji, go prepare some gifts and send them to the Heavenly Palace to show Lingshan's attitude."

"Mile, go to the Qilin tribe in person and ask Lin Tian to deal with Lei Ze. Let the Jade Emperor know that Lingshan is not easy to bully. Don't go too far."

Tathagata thought for a moment and said.

"Okay." Maitreya didn't argue this time, and turned into a golden light and went to Qilin Cliff. He used courtesy before force, giving enough face to the Jade Emperor without losing the face of Lingshan. He had to admit that Tathagata was much more experienced and calm than him.

Even Ran Deng had to admit that Tathagata was a very qualified leader.

The reason for this is that there are too many disciples in Jiejiao, and Tongtian cannot manage them all by himself. As Tathagata is the eldest disciple, he often helps Tongtian manage the disciples and gets enough experience.

Moreover, Tongtian has a generous personality and complete trust in Tathagata, and is willing to delegate enough power to his disciples.

There are many disciples in Jiejiao who can stand on their own, such as Tathagata, Zhao Gongming, and the Golden Spirit Mother.

The disciples of the orthodox sect are really not as good as those of the evil sect. The only ones who can stand on their own are him and the Immortal of the South Pole. And they two are not considered disciples. They are of the same generation as Yuanshi. It is not an exaggeration to say that the disciples of the orthodox sect are relying on their parents for support.

The Guiyi Sect is supported by Xuan Du.

As for Western religions, it is even worse. Jie Yin and Zhunti have too strong a desire for control and hold all the power in their hands. Disciples can only obey orders, resulting in them having no autonomy.

As soon as they left Jie Yin and Zhunti, their true colors were revealed and many of their decisions were very stupid.

Tongtian was a great success in teaching his disciples.

Even though Tongtian was imprisoned in Zixiao Palace, Jiejiao was still able to remain stable. If it were any other sect, it would have been completely destroyed long ago.

Not long after, Maitreya came back with a grim expression: "Yuan Feng became a saint, and Lin Tian went to the Undying Volcano to congratulate him on behalf of the Qilin Clan."

"Hmph, how dare the Qilin clan stab Lingshan in the back." Tathagata frowned.

"Is there any problem with this?" The holy Buddhists did not understand.

"The Qilin and Phoenix tribes are old enemies. As soon as Yuan Feng became a saint, Lin Tian went there. He was a little too enthusiastic."

"I'm afraid the Qilin tribe expected Lingshan to let Lintian take action against Lei Ze, and they were resentful of Lingshan for not helping before, so they deliberately let Lintian leave to seduce Lingshan."

Randeng explained.

“But how did the Qilin clan know? They don’t have any magic weapon to monitor the three realms.” The Holy Buddha frowned.

"The Qilin tribe has been busy expanding its numbers recently. Many members are running around outside, trying to recruit creatures to join Qilin Cliff. They must have seen Lei Ze and passed the news back to Qilin Cliff." Ran Deng speculated.

"How dare the Qilin Clan plot against Lingshan? Do they really think that Lingshan can't deal with them without the two Buddhas here?"

The Holy Buddha was furious. Although the two Buddhas were not there, there was still the saint Blood Mosquito Buddha in Lingshan, so it was easy for him to deal with the Qilin clan.

There are twelve forces in the world now, including the underworld, the human race’s divine court, the Jinwu clan, the Phoenix clan, the Dragon clan, the Heavenly Court, the Three Religions, the demon clan, Lingshan, and the Qilin clan. The weakest is the Qilin clan.

If they had not attached themselves to Lingshan, they would have been destroyed by the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan long ago. They even dared to turn against Tiangang and put on troubles with Lingshan, courting their own life.

"It is indeed time to give the Qilin clan a warning. Ever since the First Qilin became a saint, the Qilin clan has become somewhat restless. Let's ask the Blood Mosquito Buddha to help and invite the First Qilin to come to Lingshan for retreat."

Tathagata's voice was cold and deep. If you obey, you are invited. If you disobey, you will be arrested.

Control the first Qilin in Lingshan and see if the Qilin clan dares to disobey.

All the Buddhas agreed that the Qilin clan has always been dependent on Lingshan, and if they want to show up now, they must be severely punished.

"How do we solve the Lei Ze issue?" asked Maitreya.

As the leaders of Lingshan, it would be a loss of face and a laughing stock if the four of them took action personally.

But apart from the four of them, no one could take down Lei Ze, so the Jade Emperor's move was deliberately making things difficult for Lingshan.
