Chapter 281 Tathagata's Plan

As expected, Di Jun was blasted away by the Jade Emperor. Di Jun looked a little embarrassed, and his clothes became tattered.

"Haha, Di Jun, it seems you can't do it either." The Jade Emperor laughed and walked out in high spirits.

There was no change in his body, but his power became even greater, and the shadow of heaven behind him became more and more real.

Di Jun looked at the Jade Emperor unhappily, with some disbelief in his eyes that he was no match for the Jade Emperor.

You know, he never took the Jade Emperor seriously, but now the Jade Emperor has become so powerful, which makes it difficult for him to accept.

The Jade Emperor put away his smile and said calmly, "Di Jun, do you want to fight again?"

Di Jun snorted coldly. He knew that if he continued to fight, he would only embarrass himself. "Jade Emperor, don't be so complacent." After saying that, he turned and left.

The Jade Emperor smiled coldly, but he was very excited in his heart. After defeating Emperor Jun, the power of Heaven would surely be further enhanced. Let's see who dares to look down on Heaven.

His figure also disappeared. It was easy to defeat Di Jun, but it was difficult to kill him.

The Jade Emperor’s goal was achieved. At least Di Jun would not try to subdue the dragon clan again.

At Lingshan, Tathagata looked at Hun Dun, clenched his hands, and his face looked extremely ugly.

"How can they be so strong?" Tathagata was very unwilling. He compared himself secretly and found that his strength was not as good as Di Jun's.

Not to mention the Jade Emperor, he might be able to crush me.

He was very puzzled as to why there was such a huge gap in strength between him, a saint, and them.

Obviously, no one will tell Tathagata the reason. At most, his strength is similar to that of Zhunti. After all, Zhunti is a veteran saint, and his strength may be slightly stronger than his.

This made him very uncomfortable. He thought he was invincible in the three realms, but now the Jade Emperor and Di Jun had appeared, making it difficult for Buddhism to flourish.

But he had no intention of giving up. His eyes flashed. Di Jun and the Jade Emperor were in conflict, so could he win over one of them?

Thinking of this, his eyes flashed and his figure slowly disappeared.

In Uttarakuru, Sun Palace, Emperor Jun has recovered, but his face is still a little gloomy as he sits on the throne.

Donghuang Taiyi's expression was not good either. "Brother, I didn't expect the Jade Emperor to be so powerful. Humph, why didn't we think of refining the Heavenly Palace at the beginning?"

He was somewhat unwilling. If he could refine the Heavenly Palace, what would the Jade Emperor need?

Di Jun's expression eased, and he shook his head, saying, "No one expected this. There's no need to worry. Once you achieve enlightenment, the Heavenly Court will not be our opponent."

Donghuang Taiyi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, it's not that easy to prove my truth."

He still had self-awareness. Although he had the Donghuang Bell in his hand, his cultivation was weakened because he spent his energy on refining the Donghuang Bell.

Just as Di Jun was about to say something to persuade him, he suddenly frowned and looked up into the air. "Humph, Tathagata, what are you doing here?"

Donghuang Taiyi was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically, and he immediately took out the Donghuang Bell to be on guard.

He knew that the West coveted his Donghuang Bell.

Tathagata appeared in the air, sitting on the golden lotus, and said with a smile on his face, "Daoyou Dijun, I came here to find you."

Di Jun frowned, "What do you want from me?"

Tathagata smiled and asked, "What do you think of the Jade Emperor?"

Di Jun's face darkened when he heard this. "So you came here to laugh at me?"

Then his tone turned cold, "I am no match for the Jade Emperor, but I am confident I can defeat you. Let's go to the Chaos to fight." He was not bragging, but he really felt that the Tathagata in front of him was not very strong, and did not give him the same sense of danger that the Jade Emperor gave him.

Tathagata still smiled and shook his head, "Daoyou Dijun, I am not here to fight, but I have something to discuss with you."

Di Jun's expression eased a little and he waved to the alert Donghuang. Donghuang Taiyi glanced at Tathagata and put away the Donghuang Bell.

"Then tell me. I really don't know what I should discuss with you Buddhists." Di Jun said calmly.

Tathagata smiled and said, "Donor Dijun, have you forgotten the Great Sun Tathagata?"

"Hmm?" Di Jun's expression changed. "Are you threatening me?"

Tathagata quickly shook his head and said, "You are wrong, fellow Taoist. This shows that my Buddhist sect has some connection with you, right?"

Di Jun was silent for a moment and said honestly that Buddhism did protect Lu Ya and did not force him.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Di Jun said slowly.

Tathagata's eyes flickered, and his face became serious. "How about Buddhism and the demon race joining forces? I can give up the position of leader and let Mahavairocana be the leader."

Di Jun looked at Tathagata in surprise. "Really? Are you willing to do that?"

Tathagata smiled and said, "I have already become a saint, the position of leader is dispensable to me."

Di Jun hesitated immediately. If Lu Ya became the leader of Buddhism, he would enjoy great fortune and might even have a chance to attain enlightenment. How could he not be tempted?

Seeing this, Tathagata was delighted and felt hopeful, so he continued, "The Jade Emperor is stronger than expected. If we don't join forces, won't the Three Realms really become the world of Heaven?"

Donghuang Taiyi couldn't help but said, "Yes, brother, we can't let the Heavenly Court dominate alone, otherwise how can we strengthen the demon race?"

Di Jun also showed an interested look, "It's not impossible to unite, what do you want to do?"

Tathagata felt relieved, it seemed like it had worked. He suppressed his excitement and said, "We don't want to do anything, we just want to make Buddhism flourish."

Di Jun nodded slightly. He also knew about this matter. "How to make it big?"

Tathagata smiled and said, "Take the journey to obtain the scriptures again. Once the scriptures are delivered to the Southern Continent, it will be considered a success. You can send out the demons to block the way, and you will also gain merit and luck."

He simply told him everything. Di Jun frowned, thinking that it would be beneficial to the demon clan.

Di Jun suddenly asked, "I remember the one who went to get the scriptures was the Purple Star Emperor, right? There was also the stone monkey. They were both in the Purple Star Palace. Can you let them go to get the scriptures?"

Tathagata sighed upon hearing this and said, "To be honest, I went to see the Jade Emperor, but he rejected me outright."

Di Jun sneered, he knew this would happen. No wonder Tathagata wanted to join forces with him. He had no choice but to do so after seeing how powerful the Jade Emperor was.

He couldn't help but relax a lot, "So what are you going to do? Are you still going to take this sutra?"

Tathagata immediately said, "Of course we have to, but we can't let Jia Hu and the others go, we have to ask someone else to do it instead."

Tathagata was also helpless. He originally thought that he was invincible in the three realms and that Jia Hu would definitely go on the journey to obtain the scriptures. However, the Jade Emperor actually attained enlightenment and was so powerful.

How could he go to ask for the person? He also didn't want to completely offend the Jade Emperor. After all, the journey to obtain the scriptures still required the cooperation of the Jade Emperor.

Di Jun's eyes sparkled when he heard this. "That's fine. I have quite a few people from the demon tribe. Aren't they just escorting people to seek scriptures? We can just pick them from the demon tribe."

Tathagata was stunned. He was already prepared to let the Six-Eared Macaque replace Sun Wukong, but from what he heard, it was obvious that Di Jun wanted to intervene.

Seeing Tathagata was silent, Di Jun smiled and said, "Daoyou Tathagata, aren't you going to give up the position of leader? You can't leave the Great Sun Tathagata without anyone to use, right?"
