The Great Emperor Ziwei, born in the Sky Mechanism Pavilion, knows the nature of the Buddhist Sect better than anyone else. He is clear that those bald monks have no good intentions, and they will never sincerely help themselves and the others. Joining forces with them is like seeking skins from tigers, which will definitely not end well.
After all, they haven't reached the point of desperation yet. Sometimes, teaming up with the Buddhist Sect might end up trapping themselves.
Even though the Buddhist Sect is powerful, they have many enemies. Otherwise, why would the Taoist School and the Demonic Gate join forces to drive out the Buddhist Sect in the past?
The conflicts between Buddha, Demon, and Tao are extremely intense. In some cases, the struggle for orthodox lineage surpasses the struggle for interests. If the power among the three sides were balanced, it would be fine, but unfortunately, the powers among the three are not balanced.
It seems there is a tripod stance among the Taoist School, Buddhist Sect, and Demonic Gate, but actually, the Taoist School is the strongest, the Buddhist Sect comes second, and the Demonic Gate is the weakest.
Normally, the weak would unite to confront the strong, with the Buddhist Sect and Demonic Gate joining forces to resist the Taoist forces.
However, in fact, the Taoist School often teams up with the Demonic Gate to suppress the Buddhist Sect. The Demonic Gate would rather be alone than ally with the Buddhist Sect, which shows the depth of conflict between the two sides.
It would be excusable if that were the case, but besides the Demonic Gate and Taoist School, even the two branches of Confucianism, the Sword Sect, some large immortal sects, and the ancient country Divine Dynasty don't have good relations with the Buddhist Sect. Conflicts often occur.
Due to the Buddhist Sect's overbearing style, they make enemies all around. However, due to the Buddhist Sect's great power, others can't do anything to them.
If they seek alliances because of the power of the Buddhist Sect, it would invisibly provoke the resentment of others. At that point, the Buddhist Sect might not have any influence, but instead would incur self-destruction.
Moreover, the Buddhist Sect clearly uses them. Back then, they were kicked out of the Heavenly Court by the Taoist School joining forces with the Demonic Gate. This time, instead of learning a lesson, they even want to sell the Jade Emperor once to attach themselves to the Taoist School, which shows their deep fear of the Taoist School.
It's all right to have some collusion with the Buddhist Sect in daily times to balance the Taoist School, but inviting wolves into the house at this moment would cause significant troubles. At that point, the blows from the Taoist School might be even more severe.
"Now, no matter what contradictions exist between those veteran Daoist Monarchs, they are faintly very repulsive towards the Buddhist Sect. If we cooperate with the Buddhist Sect, to some extent, it would make them put aside past grievances and join forces against us." The Great Emperor Ziwei warned, believing that the Jade Emperor understood his meaning.
After all, their conflict with those veteran Daoist Monarchs is a struggle for interests. Even if there are conflicts, as long as they have the advantage and considering that the Daoist Monarchs will not fall, peace can be restored under certain circumstances.
Ultimately, as long as the Daoist Monarchs do not die, neither side is destined to occupy the benefits for long. Continual conflicts are inevitable, and this is only the first one.
Even if they win this time, becoming the beneficiaries, the losers will hibernate again. There will be another day in the future when turmoil rises again to seize authority.
But no matter how both sides fight, the authority remains within both sides' plates. The Heavenly Court is also in the hands of those veteran Daoist Monarchs and their few Imperial Honors.
However, allowing these outsiders of the Buddhist Sect to intervene in the Heavenly Court is somewhat like breaking the pot, bound to make those people more furious, truly choosing to overturn the table.
"It seems I have been negligent." The Jade Emperor frowned and said in a deep voice.
Regardless of whether his anger was real or fake just now, based on the attitude displayed by the Great Emperor Ziwei, there is a definite repulsion towards cooperating with the Buddhist Sect.
Moreover, after hearing the analysis of the Great Emperor Ziwei, he suddenly felt that his cooperation with the Buddhist Sect needs careful reconsideration.
Not to mention whether the contacts between the Buddhist Sect and the Taoist School are real or fake, simply acting friendly but with ulterior motives or trying to use them as pawns to seize benefits for the Buddhist Sect.
As the Great Emperor Ziwei said, although the Buddhist Sect is not small in power, there are also many enemies in the realms of the Heavenly Seas against them. Many strong forces and powers are dissatisfied with the Buddhist Sect.
If mere cooperation with the Buddhist Sect creates many enemies, pushing these people to the opposite side, it is not a good choice.
One must know that they intend to do more than break the veteran Daoist Monarchs' control over the Heavenly Court; this is just the first step in their plan. To truly control the Heavenly Court thereafter, it naturally requires the recognition of more powerful forces and strengths.
If cooperation with the Buddhist Sect leads to aversion from all sides, even if they force cooperation at the beginning, by the time the second step plan arrives, they will inevitably become the target of public criticism, which is absolutely inadvisable.
The matter was temporarily shelved, and then the Jade Emperor started to discuss another issue: "I heard you encountered resistance while subduing many Star Gods."
After truly opposing the veteran Daoist Monarchs, the two of them no longer needed to hide and began decisively eliminating dissent within the Heavenly Court, usurping authority. Those unwilling to submit would either be suppressed or deprived of authority.
On the Jade Emperor's side, it went relatively well as he was prepared for these matters early on. Under his banner, even some strong Gods, who have homes and businesses, were forced to temporarily surrender authority and retreat due to a mix of coercion and inducement, despite dissatisfaction.
