Tathagata nodded and said to Li Jing.
"Since it's the Jade Emperor's invitation, I'll get up and go with you."
Li Jing respectfully saluted again, ready to lead the way at any time.
Our proud King Li Datian also has faith!
From the beginning of Tiantiao modification to now, the modification content has been basically determined.
300 years have passed in the secular world.
Nearly a year has passed in Heaven.
This speed is actually quite fast.
Originally, the gods wanted to discuss it again.
As a result, some time ago, the Jade Emperor suddenly issued a decree, telling everyone that the results must be produced within three months.
Otherwise, the matter of amending the rules of heaven will be invalidated.
When the gods heard this, they immediately became anxious and worked overtime to discuss.
Someone immediately made concessions to some of the conditions that were originally arguing and shirking. In fact, everyone has almost reached an agreement.
It's just that there are some discrepancies in the division of interests.
Now the Jade Emperor Tianzun is urging him tightly, and the gods also know that this is probably the meaning of Master Tiandao.
So everyone moved together, and the work efficiency increased countless times.
It's not that the best version of the amendment was submitted a few days ago.
The Jade Emperor saw that the discussion was finally over.
There are no major problems with this version, and it is almost ready to worship the heavens and issue decrees.
Although there are not many involved in Buddhism.
But it's somewhat lost, so it's necessary to go through a process and let the two of them come.
Besides, Master Tiandao passed on the word that the leaders of the Buddhist sect must attend the meeting where the revision of the rules of heaven was finalized.
Although he couldn't understand what the old man meant, the Jade Emperor was a resolute executor of the will of heaven.
So Li Jing was asked to be a special envoy to invite Tathagata and Guanyin to attend the meeting.

===Chapter 1420 The confrontation between Buddhism and Taoism rises again===
Chapter 1420 The confrontation between Buddhism and Taoism revives
The content of the new Tiantiao revision is actually not much.
Compared with the complicated content of the heavenly rules, the gods only care about the places related to their own interests.
For example, intermarriage between immortals and mortals, freedom in the lower realms, etc.
As a result of the last edition, intermarriage between immortals and mortals will be allowed to a limited extent.
First, the mortal side needs to have immortal roots.
Second, the immortal party needs to have at least a full-time deity.
Thirdly, after immortals form Taoist couples, immortals should help ordinary people to achieve positive results as soon as possible.
In fact, this is enough, such as Sanshengmu and Liu Xi.
The Third Holy Mother has a full-time deity. Although it is only a sixth-rank, it is a full-time post after all.
And Liu Xi is the reincarnation of a novice, so he naturally has spiritual roots in him.
As for the matter of assisting in cultivation, as long as Sanshengmu thinks about it, with the support of God Erlang, Liu Xi can easily become a fairy.
Of course, Sanshengmu has completely severed ties with Liu Xi, and it is impossible for these two people to get back together.
The intermarriage of immortals and mortals is a compromise of heaven to the immortals.
Almost all gods who want to go down to earth meet the requirement of priesthood.
After all, the office workers are so busy every day that they have no time to think about other things.
It's just that mortals must have spiritual roots, even if they form a Taoist couple, they can bring mortals to the sky.
The gods of the province ran down every three days.
Speaking of running down, another issue that the gods are concerned about is the matter of going down to the world without permission.
This involves a wide range of things, such as gold horns and silver horns, and green bull spirits. Although everyone is carrying a mission, it is secretly, and on the surface they are going down to earth privately.
Of course, there are also some gods who will sneak down to earth without a mission.
After all, the mortal world is much more interesting than the boring heaven.
Everyone always wants to have nothing to do to relax.
The final revision of this article is that you can go down to earth.
However, it must be reported, and each fairy has only one chance to descend to the mortal world once a year, and once for ten days, it will be invalid and will not be carried forward after the expiration date.
This can be regarded as a relief for the gods.
Of course, not everyone can go down.
There are also three conditions.
First, people with seventh-rank full-time positions or above.
Second, it needs to consume a certain amount of merit, and the greater the official position, the more it will be consumed.
Third, except for the round-trip method of driving the fog to ascend to immortality, it is strictly forbidden to use immortal methods in the mortal world, especially the prohibition of using immortal methods to harm mortals.
In fact, this also echoes the intermarriage of immortals, which limits those people to the seventh-rank official jobs.
A petty official who is a luxury is not even qualified to go down to earth.
At the same time, prohibiting the use of spells is also a kind of protection for mortals.
Ordinary people are the foundation of the prehistoric world.
Finally, it is about the limitations of the gods.
Originally, most of the gods were under the restriction of the list of gods.
They all have no support for their souls to be listed on the list, and they can't even practice.
Heaven is not busy all day.
Often a hundred years can't come across a little fart.
Gods like wind, rain, thunder and lightning are very busy and often have business trips.
Departments such as the Department of Fighting and the Department of Plague are often idle with five spines and six beasts.
I can't practice, and I don't want to go to the mortal world.
What did you ask the fairies to do?
So for this point, the ultimate solution is for Heaven to learn from the mortal world.
Gradually open some entertainment venues.
Of course, places like brothels and gambling houses are not included.
It is a game place with many activities such as fishing grounds, song clubs, poetry clubs, and garden parties.
This will not only help relieve the anxiety and boredom of the gods, but also allow some people who are idle in the heaven to have something to do.
Over the years, there have been many idle people in Tianting.
For example, the second generation of immortals like Chen Xiang, although they have the priesthood, they have nothing to do.
It's not a problem to idle around all day and cause trouble.
Now that Tianting's business has started, they can also be waiters or something, it's better than just sitting around.
The one who proposed this solution was Chen Xiang, who came from the mortal world and had the deepest understanding of the mortal world.
And the things I came into contact with during those years of traveling were also the most.
Therefore, his opinions are more pertinent, and have won the support of most gods and Jade Emperors.
Tathagata listened to the new rules of heaven, and there was no wave in his heart.
Occasionally, when encountering matters related to the interests of Buddhism, he just nodded slightly in agreement.
He came here this time with his ears to listen.
Because he felt that someone was watching him, which made him feel horrified, that there was only one big boss who seemed to be alive...
Tathagata didn't dare to think too much, he knew that Tiandao had begun to notice Xixi's movements.
Care must be taken at this time.
Of course, Tathagata knew about the plan of the Second Saint of the West, and participated in the whole process.
It's just that what he has been doing from beginning to end is beneficial to Buddhism.
This is also his confidence that he is not afraid of exposure.
The momentum of Buddhism's great prosperity has not yet passed, no matter what he does, he will not attract people's eyes.
"Infinite Heavenly Venerate."
After the reading of the Tiantiao was finished, the Jade Emperor was about to make a decision, when suddenly there was a sound of Taoism outside the Lingxiao Palace.
The Jade Emperor stood up quickly after hearing the voice.
All the gods also got up, even the Tathagata Guanyin.
"Pindao has seen the Jade Emperor Da Tianzun." The visitor first greeted the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor also slapped Jishou in return: "I have met Senior Brother Xuandu."
"I have seen Grand Master Xuandu!"
Everyone saluted each other, Xuandu returned the salute one by one, and had a polite exchange with Tathagata Avalokitesvara.
The gods didn't expect that the one who came was the great mage of Xuandu.
Although Tathagata looked quite friendly with Xuandu, he actually had a premonition that something was wrong.
"Immeasurable Tianzun. Pindao came this time to remind the Great Tianzun."
After everyone saw the ceremony, Xuandu said to the Jade Emperor.
"Brother, please speak."
The Jade Emperor was very curious, why did this old man suddenly come here because he was always tired and lazy.
It seems that Daozu has something to say.
"300 years have passed, and the great revival of Buddhism is coming to an end, and we need to make arrangements for the future!" Xuan Du looked at the Jade Emperor and said.
When he opened his mouth, the gods fell silent.
The great prosperity of Buddhism is determined by the way of heaven.
As for how long it will last, there is no fixed number for this, and everyone has calculations, but the approximate time limit for things agreed by the Dao of Heaven is about a thousand years.
If we start counting from before Journey to the West, only 300 years have passed now.
It is too early for Xuandu to bring it up now.
"This..." Jade Emperor was taken aback.
Unexpectedly, Master Xuandu would say such words publicly.
Buddha Tathagata and Venerable Avalokitesvara were both on the spot.
"Amitabha." Tathagata finally spoke.
"This matter should indeed be prepared in advance. My Buddhism has been prosperous for about a thousand years. Now that 300 years have passed, almost half of the time has passed. Some things need to be prepared."
This is the Tathagata's first official speech.
Everyone could hear that there was a confrontation between Buddhism and Taoism.
