Chapter 1902: Chapter 1848 – Chapter 1849 Bold Plan, Consulting the Tiger for its Skin

Under the Taoist Monarch, all are ants. The former Jade Emperor considered Zhao Baiyang as a rival, but the moment he achieved Tao Certifying, he understood the gap between them.

As long as Zhao Baiyang doesn’t prove the Tao, he poses no threat to him. Therefore, for the Jade Emperor, breaking the constraints was more important, and Zhao Baiyang was not worth mentioning. He could wait to deal with him upon his return.

This could be considered a tacit understanding between the Jade Emperor and Zhao Baiyang, or the Jade Emperor’s demarcation of a line of life and death for Zhao Baiyang.

If he doesn’t prove the Tao, he awaits death.

Prove the Tao, he seeks death.

As the first to achieve Tao Certifying, the Jade Emperor held the initiative. Zhao Baiyang was thoroughly passive, caught in a predicament.

He knew that if he attempted Tao Certifying, the Jade Emperor would surely intervene, and even the Buddhism School might try to act. That would be his most perilous moment.

A Tao Certifying wasn’t something achieved in silent seclusion. It required the release of his realm’s aura, a union with heaven and earth, and an insight into the Original Source of Heaven and Earth, unveiling signs that were impossible to hide.

He believed that once exposed, it would certainly attract thunderous attacks from all sides, and at that time, even those around him couldn’t offer any assistance.

So Zhao Baiyang had been looking for a suitable opportunity, at least a reason to fully unleash his combat power. So even if exposed, it would be the last step, with less time needed.

And this time, the attack by the Buddhism School presented him with an ideal opportunity. He could completely turn the tables and trigger everything while clashing with the strong from the Buddhism School.

“When everyone believes I have no way out and am cornered, seize the chance to comprehend the Original Source of Heaven and Earth, and use that to achieve Tao Certifying. With the protection of the Will of the Heaven and Earth, even a Taoist Monarch couldn’t immediately act,” Zhao Baiyang thought.

For Zhao Baiyang, this was a perfect opportunity. He kept deducing and considering all aspects, having to admit it was the best chance, with no better timing.

Certainly, there would be significant risks involved, but Tao Certifying itself was a huge risk. If he feared risk, why not just give up early on?

“This risk is not small, but it’s also an opportunity, an unexpected one.”

The others exchanged glances and silently calculated and deduced for a while, ultimately agreeing to the plan.

“So next, do we stay by your side, waiting for the right moment to protect you?”

“You cannot!”

“Why?”

“Since the Buddhism School is prepared to ambush me, they would surely anticipate the unexpected and closely monitor your movements. If you disappear, they would realize the plan is exposed and become wary. Only if you continue unchanged will they believe their plan remains a secret and proceed according to plan against me.”

“But this increases the danger significantly. Even supposing you stop those three Arhat Venerates, once you begin breaking through, who will protect you?” Tie Qianshan said with a frown.

Their considerations were not incorrect. Once they decided to ambush Zhao Baiyang, they would certainly watch him and his associates. If any anomalies were spotted in their behavior, the plan might be exposed.

But if they continued with the plan, all risks would fall onto Zhao Baiyang. For him alone to carry out this plan was far too dangerous.

“No worries, I have help,” Zhao Baiyang said with a slight smile, full of confidence.

“Help?”

They were puzzled. Who else could offer help at this moment?

Then they suddenly realized that with the information already relayed, Zhao Baiyang must have made arrangements with some people in the Myriad Laws Realm.

“But, is it trustworthy?”

They were somewhat hesitant, even knowing there was no issue with the information conveyed by the ally.

But this was different from issues in the Myriad Laws Realm. Even in dangerous situations, Zhao Baiyang could protect himself.

The upcoming plan, considering the facing of three True Immortal Sixth Layer Arhat Venerates, would pose great threats. If the help could not effectively buy time, it would be problematic.

In some sense, it meant banking his life on others, appearing overly confident in the assistance.

“Trust has its extent, but it’s not based solely on trust but also mutual benefits,” Zhao Baiyang explained solemnly.

As he spoke, he glanced towards Xue Wuheng, softly saying, “I’ve already made contact with the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch and the Purgatory Demon Monarch. They will join me to suppress those three Arhat Venerates. If it fails, it means we all perish together.”

The names of Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch and Purgatory Demon Monarch made the others’ expressions change slightly, instinctively looking towards Xue Wuheng.

The Heterodox Alliance isn’t about proving the Tao nor about purity to reject cooperation with Demonic Way elites. Among them, only Tie Qianshan was barely considered part of the Righteous Path, while the rest belonged to the heterodoxy, so cooperating with Demonic Way elites was no issue.

Especially since the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Monarch and Purgatory Demon Monarch were top True Immortal Sixth Layer existences, each on the verge of becoming a Taoist Monarch. The assistance of such powerful figures and the agreement to attempt Tao Certifying together was indeed a superb choice.
