Chapter 723
"Opportunities are scarce now; only variables can make up for the lack."
"How could my Eastern Dao Sect be shaken by such variables? Let them be."
Hearing Tongtian say this, the Jade Emperor finally understood what he should do.
Subsequently, he did not linger any longer.
"Senior, I take my leave for now."
The Jade Emperor bowed respectfully to Wu Feng and returned to the Heavenly Palace to consult with Wang Mu on the matters involved.
After all, what he had seen today completely exceeded his expectations.
Just as he returned to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, he saw the two Saints returning.
"Since Saint Tongtian has said so, and my Heavenly Court is composed of people from the Dao Sect, perhaps we should sever ties with the West."
Thinking this in his heart, the Jade Emperor sat upright, pretending to know nothing, and waited for the two Saints to speak.
At this time, Zhunti expounded on the severity of the situation.
He said that if the two Witch and Demon races were to truly revive, the impact on the West would be significant.
He even hoped that the Jade Emperor could provide some assistance during the Journey to the West Kalpa, and at that time, there would definitely be no lack of benefits.
But how could the Jade Emperor be willing to collude with them? He immediately smiled slightly and played dumb.
"Two Saints, I think there is no need to delve deeper into the matter of the Witch-Demon battlefield."
"The changes in heaven and earth are not something we can fathom. My Heavenly Court is truly of little influence regarding the Journey to the West Kalpa, and I cannot help you two."
After this speech, the Jade Emperor's attitude was already very clear.
However, upon hearing this, the two Saints felt that there seemed to be something fishy about it.
Zhunti wanted to pursue the matter further, but the Jade Emperor directly rested his head on his hand and closed his eyes.
Seeing the Jade Emperor putting on an act in front of them made the two Saints feel quite displeased.
"Haotian Shangdi, you!"
Zhunti was about to get angry, but was stopped by Jieyin at his side.
After exchanging a look, they left with anger.
On the way, Zhunti asked with some confusion: "Senior brother, that Jade Emperor does not know what is good for him, why didn't you let me teach him a lesson?"
Jieyin sighed and said: "You and I went to Zixiao Palace once, and his expression changed. This matter was discovered by him first; why would it be like this? Can't you figure it out?"
These words suddenly made Zhunti see the light, and that figure appeared in his mind.
"It is Teacher's will!"
In this way, the two Saints could only return to the West first and seek another way out.
Now, the Buddha of the Western Fomen Sect was Randeng, and all the Buddhas paid homage; it seemed that the situation had turned around.
But in reality, after the loss of Rulai, the radiance of the Fomen Sect had diminished significantly.
Even the worship and faith in the Fomen Sect had greatly decreased, causing huge losses to the West.
Today, Randeng happened to be holding a seminar at Lingshan to preach his understanding of Buddha.
He hoped to further radiate the Buddha's light to make up for the recent losses.
But the result was not very ideal, and even some great Buddhas were not very convinced by Randeng's rise to power.
For a time, the entire Fomen Sect became incredibly chaotic.
Until the two Saints descended, and seeing the scene of endless arguing, they immediately roared in anger.
"Are you trying to overturn my Lingshan! Subvert my Fomen Sect!"
Instantly, everyone became obedient and paid their respects one after another.
And at this time, Zhunti looked at Randeng and called out: "You come with me."
Randeng felt somewhat uneasy in his heart, but he did not dare not to agree.
A moment later, Randeng arrived at the two Saints' dojo.
After sitting down, Zhunti asked: "How are your preparations for the Journey to the West Kalpa?"
Hearing the question, Randeng immediately replied: "I have already found the Six-Eared Macaque to act as a substitute for Sun Wukong, and there are disciples of my Fomen Sect willing to take the place of Tianpeng and that Wujing. It is just that the matter of the Buddha's son has not yet been decided."
At this time, the two Saints looked at each other, also thinking about how to handle this matter.
Suddenly, a flash of wisdom crossed Zhunti's eyes, and he immediately proposed: "Senior brother Jieyin, why don't we in the West do the opposite this time?"
Jieyin was somewhat confused and did not understand what he meant.
But seeing Zhunti so confident, he decided to listen further.
At this time, Zhunti also looked at Randeng below and said: "Buddha Randeng, you were once a disciple of the Chan Sect. Do you still have any contact with the Demon race's Crown Prince, Daoist Lu Ya, from many years ago?"
Upon hearing this, Randeng's heart skipped a beat.
He did not understand why Zhunti was asking these things; it felt like he was about to be punished, and he felt very uneasy.
And Jieyin instantly understood Zhunti's idea and was immediately surprised.
"Junior brother, what is this!"
Zhunti's face was full of smiles, and his mood suddenly became very good.
"That's right, I intend to unite with the Demon race, give the opportunity for the Buddha's son of the Fomen Sect this time to Daoist Lu Ya, and cooperate with the Demon race!"
"Then, even if the Demon race revives in the future, they will stand on the same side as my West."
Hearing this plan, Jieyin immediately felt it was excellent.
He immediately looked at Randeng and asked: "Can you handle this matter if it is entrusted to you?"
Hearing what the two Saints said, Randeng was already astonished.
Cooperation between the Western Fomen Sect and the Demon race was simply unheard of and unseen.
The Fomen Sect had always claimed to slay demons and ward off evil; to do the opposite now was indeed too much of a leap.
But looking at the serious expressions of the two Saints, Randeng immediately understood that this was a variable for the Fomen Sect, and even more so, his own opportunity.
Thus, he immediately bowed respectfully.
"Randeng will definitely complete this matter!" ===== CHAPTER 725 =====
