Chapter 175 Subhuti Visits the Heavenly Court
After some discussion, Zhunti sent a telepathic message to the benevolent corpse.
Subhuti received the message and felt quite helpless.
Given the current situation, can Haotian be allowed to be manipulated by them?
The bottom line for Buddhism is that Haotian agrees not to obstruct the eastward spread of Buddhism.
but.
In Subhuti's view, this condition was probably Haotian's bottom line.
Don't be fooled by the fact that these are both sides' bottom lines.
But the difference between them is enormous.
It is the minimum expectation of Buddhism, but Haotian sees it as a luxury for Buddhism.
Using other people's unrealistic expectations as a bottom line.
You guys are probably going crazy!
This is not Subhuti's wild speculation.
However, the three schools of Taoism are now all ineffective.
Haotian is the last gatekeeper of the Xuanmen.
Given this situation, would Haotian agree to the Buddhist sect's conditions?
Even if he wanted to agree, he would have to see what Zixiao Palace thought.
That person poured even more effort into Haotian than the Six Sages.
Would Haotian dare to disappoint that person?
I'm afraid that no sooner had Haotian agreed than he would end up like the Six Sages.
Everyone needs to go to the Chaos and take a nap!
It's still the ingrained mindset at play; people still think of Haotian as someone like the Eastern King Duke.
Even though it was difficult, Subhuti had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
Who told me this was the will of the deity?
Upon reaching the South Heavenly Gate, Subhuti instructed a heavenly general to announce the arrival of the deity.
soon.
The heavens will turn back.
"Senior, His Majesty is waiting for you in the Lingxiao Palace."
"Thank you for your trouble, General!"
After saying this, Subhuti's figure flickered and headed straight for the Lingxiao Palace.
We arrived at the Lingxiao Palace.
Subhuti bowed deeply to Haotian, who was at the head of the table.
"Subhuti greets the Great Heavenly Venerable!"
Upon hearing this, Haotian glanced at Subhuti and said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist, no need for formalities!"
"Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerable!"
Once Subhuti had settled down, Haotian spoke, "Fellow Daoist, instead of meditating on Mount Ling, what brings you to my Heavenly Court?"
Upon hearing this, Subhuti wanted to correct Haotian's statement.
Tell Haotian that Subhuti is not practicing meditation, but rather is in seclusion to attain enlightenment.
"Enlightenment!"
pity!
Previously, Haotian had exposed his true identity, sealing his place within the Buddhist community.
There's no point in making excuses now.
Moreover, how will he speak up for Buddhism later if he tries to deny his identity?
Then their stance will be contradictory from the start.
After a moment of contemplation, Subhuti spoke, "Entrusted by the Sage Cundi, I have come here to discuss cooperation with the Great Heavenly Venerable."
Upon hearing the words "this humble Taoist," Haotian immediately frowned.
He then said, "Let's not talk about cooperation for now."
Fellow Daoist, could you please stop referring to yourself as "this humble Daoist" from now on?
I can forgive you once or twice for taking advantage of my Xuanmen sect like this.
But there will never be a third time.
Since you have betrayed the Xuanmen, then don't even think about trying to take away the Xuanmen's fortune.
Otherwise, I wouldn't mind suppressing you in the East China Sea eye.
Upon hearing Haotian's words, Subhuti's face showed a bitter expression.
This is to completely shatter his delusions.
But the situation is beyond his control now, and he can't refute it in the slightest.
After a moment's hesitation, Subhuti could only reply, "I understand!"
Seeing Subhuti's reaction, Haotian began to ponder.
This guy didn't even bother to refute it.
It seems that this collaboration is very important to Buddhism.
After a moment's thought, Haotian had a clue.
He then said, "Since you understand, fellow Daoist, then tell me about your so-called 'cooperation'."
"I'm quite curious, what does your Buddhist sect have to do with me?"
Upon hearing this, Subhuti said, "Heavenly secrets indicate that the West will soon prosper."
Buddhism wishes to spread eastward and enlighten all living beings in the primordial world.
This is a blessing for all living beings in the primordial world, and great merit will surely descend upon them.
Therefore, the sage wanted to cooperate with the Great Heavenly Venerable.
When the time comes, please ask the Great Celestial Venerable to speak up for our Buddhist sect.
What is the Great Celestial Venerable's opinion?
Upon hearing this, Haotian replied, "The saints of Buddhism, how do you intend for me to speak up for you?"
What benefit could I possibly gain?
When Subhuti saw Haotian ask this question, he thought that Haotian was interested.
So he said calmly, "If the Great Celestial Venerable agrees to cooperate, the Buddhist sect will support him."
At least they won't be in opposition to the Great Celestial Venerable.
The Great Celestial Venerable has now completely broken ties with the Chan Sect.
They probably don't want to add another formidable rival, right?
As for how to make a statement, the Great Celestial Venerable will naturally know in due time.
What is the Great Celestial Venerable's opinion?
Upon hearing this, Haotian immediately burst into laughter: "Hahaha!"
Did you sleep well before you came?
If not, you might as well go back and wake up before coming back.
Upon hearing this, Subhuti frowned and asked, "What does the Great Celestial Venerable mean?"
Upon hearing this, Haotian's expression darkened, and he said, "I mean, are you dreaming?"
I don't know where you got the audacity to presume to issue orders to me.
What's wrong?
Having grown accustomed to lording it over others, are they now disregarding all living beings in the primordial world?
We'll find out then!
I now know about your schemes.
Are you going to use my authority and the prestige of the Heavenly Court as stepping stones for your Buddhist sect?
Have you ever considered whether your Buddhist community is worthy of such a title?
It's just a religious sect, yet it dares to presume to use all sentient beings in the three realms as stepping stones.
What's wrong?
Are you no longer engaged in the work of educating and guiding, but instead want to rise above all living beings?
Get back here!
"If there is a next time, I wouldn't mind leveling Mount Ling first!"
Upon hearing Haotian's reply, Subhuti was not angered.
Instead, he pondered in his heart how much truth or falsehood Haotian had given him.
Is he really not afraid that the Buddhist saints will join forces with the Yuanshi Tianzun of the Chan Sect again?
After a moment of contemplation, Subhuti spoke up: "Great Heavenly Venerable, please do not misunderstand!"
The Buddhist community has absolutely no intention of issuing orders; they are genuinely here to cooperate.
The Great Celestial Venerable must have felt immense pressure facing the sages of the Chan Sect.
If a Buddhist saint were to provide assistance, the pressure would immediately be greatly reduced.
With the support of the Great Celestial Venerable, Buddhism was also able to successfully complete its great expansion.
This is a win-win situation.
If the Great Celestial Venerable feels that the conditions are not enough, the Buddhist side can make further concessions.
Apart from the merits of the participants, all other merits belong to the Great Heavenly Venerable.
The Buddhist community is very sincere.
Upon hearing this, Haotian still chuckled and said, "Hehehe!"
You Buddhist sects are really good at scheming.
Anyway, you haven't suffered any losses.
But I must bear the infamy to fulfill your wishes.
Alright!
I've figured it out now.
You are not here to cooperate, you are here to demonstrate against me.
I would also like to make my statement here.
First, the West is booming.
That's a Western matter, a matter for all living beings in the primordial world.
Your Buddhist sect cannot represent all living beings in the primordial world, nor can it represent the West.
The only ones who can represent them now are myself, the Heavenly Emperor, and the Dao Ancestor of Zixiao Palace.
The rise of the West has absolutely nothing to do with Buddhism.
Secondly, as you just mentioned, I do not wish to face both Buddhist saints and Chan sect saints at the same time.
I can tell you definitively.
I will not accept any form of threat!
If your Buddhist sect wants to join forces with the saints of the Chan sect, then you are welcome to give it a try.
Let's see if I'm afraid of you.
Third, your Buddhist sect only has the responsibility of teaching and guiding; you are not allowed to overstep your bounds in other matters.
I wouldn't mind leveling Mount Ling first.
Fourth, matters of education and moral guidance are none of my concern.
You can spread Buddhist teachings wherever you want.
I have no interest whatsoever in the moral and ethical destiny that you are vying for.
Fifth, I hope that if you truly intend to spread eastward...
When the time comes, keep a close eye on the Buddhist disciples and prevent them from doing anything that could cause chaos and destruction.
Otherwise, the disciples of the Chan Sect will be your example.
