Chapter 1888 -s 1834–1835: Not Necessarily a Disadvantage
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.
