I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Chapter 305 The Movement of the Three Religions, the Spread of Buddhism to the West

When it comes to occupying territory, building up power, and then incorporating into the Celestial Empire to receive rewards, those most affected are undoubtedly the princes and princesses.

After all, the world is vast, and they can paint whatever they want. They can freely claim land and turn it into their own royal domain.

Even if there is some competition, it's just a few dozen of them as brothers and sisters.

However, now, out of China's billions of people, at least hundreds of millions have ventured abroad, and these are all their competitors.

They couldn't help but complain that their fathers were inhuman, that they felt their challenges weren't challenging enough, and that's why they were forced to face so many competitors.

Moreover, this group included not only those who spontaneously ventured out to seek their fortunes.

There are also Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, all of which have a long history and tradition.

With the popularization of the Heavenly Rank system, many powerful individuals have emerged from the three families, and they possess extremely strong organizational discipline, making them the strongest competitors among the common people.

Of course, that doesn't mean other people don't care.

Hundreds of millions of people flocked out and quickly occupied the entire Earth.

Even if they are stronger then, so what? Would they dare to attack our territory?

Wouldn't he get chased and whipped by his father?
With no other choice, they disregarded whether they were fully prepared and hastily set off, heading to various parts of the world.

Let's talk about Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.

Originally, within the territory of the Celestial Empire, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism were all suppressed to the extreme.

Regardless of your school of thought, you must be subject to the control of the government and abide by the laws and regulations of the Celestial Empire.

The days when Taoist priests and monks in temples were severely punished or even killed for breaking precepts are gone forever.

They can expel them, they can report to the provincial judicial commissioner, but they absolutely cannot resort to private punishment.

Now, they are allowed to go out and occupy land. Although they will eventually be incorporated into the Celestial Empire, this time is enough for them to spread their respective ideologies.

Not to mention, even after being incorporated into the Celestial Empire, it still enjoyed twenty years of autonomy.

And that's what they value most.

Twenty years is a period of time, enough for a generation to grow up.

Especially within the Celestial Empire, not only is the energy abundant, but it can also give rise to corresponding celestial statuses.

If they dedicate themselves to spreading their beliefs, they might be able to cultivate a group of individuals who possess the divine status of their own sect.

In particular, the old Confucian scholars, who had been nearly suppressed to the point of complete collapse, were now even more enthusiastic and constantly made connections and organizations.

In order to gain a share in this upheaval of dividing and unifying the world, we hope that Confucianism and Taoism can regain their former glory, or even go further.

The dynasty naturally took full account of the actions of these Taoist sects.

However, he did not intervene; in fact, he fueled the flames.

If there is only one ideology under the rule of the Celestial Empire, then the Celestial Empire will become a stagnant pool and will inevitably have a limit to its growth.

A dynasty desires a flourishing of diverse paths, where all kinds of approaches compete for prominence.

Only in this way can we continuously broaden the path to the extraordinary, expand the rules and principles encompassed by the sea of ​​spiritual power, increase its foundation and base, continuously complete and perfect the Dao Fruit, and propel the dynasty to greater heights.
In the spring of the 4385th year of the Yellow Emperor's calendar, the 52nd year of the Heavenly Dynasty, the Buddhist master Shi Chan led a group of eminent monks across thousands of mountains and rivers, intending to go to India to spread the Dharma.

At the same time, Shouxuzi was the abbot of Qingyang Mountain Taoist Temple, the current number one Taoist, and the master of Chen Zhengyang, the general of the White Tiger Legion.

He also led a group of high-ranking Taoist masters across a vast distance to the far west of Europe.

They wanted to have a philosophical discussion with the Catholic Church there to see if their God was omniscient and omnipotent, or if the various Gods of China were superior.

Pangu Heavenly King, the Three Pure Ones, Haotian Shangdi, Zhenwu Xuantian Shangdi, Jiutian Tianshen Shangdi, Shenxiao Jiuchen Shangdi, and so on.

In addition, there are other revered deities such as the Ziwei Emperor and the Gouchen Emperor, who are equally impressive.

And there are also beings like Gao Xuqingming and the Heavenly Emperor.

Those eminent Taoist masters and high-ranking officials wanted to see if the omniscient and omnipotent God was truly so.
While Buddhist and Taoist sects were taking action, the remaining traditional Confucian scholars were equally unwilling to lag behind.

They gathered a group of scholars and intellectuals, boarded a giant ship inscribed with runes, and sailed eastward across the vast ocean to places like South America.

They intended to use Confucian and Taoist culture and philosophy to educate the local indigenous barbarians.

In March of the fifty-second year of the Celestial Dynasty, Master Shichan led a group of eminent Buddhist monks to the birthplace of Buddhism.

They searched for temples and monks, and were astonished to discover that the essence of Buddhism in this birthplace of Buddhism seemed far inferior to, and even quite different from, that of Buddhism in China.

Moreover, Buddhism seems to have almost disappeared before.

Upon learning this news, Master Shichan and others looked at each other in bewilderment. What should they do if their Buddhist teachings were somewhat different from those of India?
Moreover, Buddhism in India today is only practiced by a small group of people from the lower classes.

The vast majority of people, and almost all high-ranking officials, do not believe in Buddhism.

It can be said that Buddhism today is only a niche religion in India. The truly large religion is Hinduism, which accounts for a full 80 percent of the population.

Others include Christianity and Islam.
Buddhism accounts for only one percent of the population, or less.

In addition, there are some smaller sects, such as Jainism, Judaism, and the Bahá'í Faith.

In a meditation room of a temple, Master Shi Chan sat cross-legged, looking at the many eminent monks before him, and slowly began to speak:
"You are all already aware of the current situation."
I wonder what your thoughts are?

“Naturally, we will visit each family one by one, and with the Buddhist teachings of our Celestial Empire, we will refute them one by one.”

"And what about the Buddhist community in India?"

"."

The group exchanged glances and remained silent.

After Buddhism from India was introduced to China, it underwent changes and evolution over a thousand years, and has long since become fundamentally different.

A full quarter of an hour passed before an old monk with white hair and beard finally spoke slowly:
"What we transmit is the Buddhism of our Celestial Empire."

All teachings that are not of the Buddha are false.

"A false scripture used by Mara to corrupt the Buddha"

The crowd glanced at the old monk, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded in unison.

"good!"

"What about the other factions?"
Especially Hinduism, which is deeply rooted throughout India, will likely not be an easy task for us to refute and defeat them.”

After a brief silence, Master Shi Chan spoke:
"I've heard that many people have also come to India."

"Yes, there are two princes among them."

Will they give us time to refute those sectarian arguments?

"Uh"

Instantly, everyone fell silent.

What they did was occupy territory, then incorporate it into the Celestial Empire, and obtain rewards.

It's fair to say that everyone is an opponent to each other, so how could anyone possibly give the enemy time?

"If that's the case, let's be more direct."
We will each display our Buddhist supernatural powers to directly suppress the various regions, and first obtain a stable Buddhist land before discussing anything else.

"That's how it should be!"

"As it should be!"

"good!"

After a brief silence, everyone nodded in agreement with what Master Shi Chan had said.

"When?"

"Now!"

"Ok!"

The group exchanged glances, nodded in unison, and then left the meditation room, arriving outside the room where the abbot was.

"Amitabha Buddha, Abbot, we wish to spread the Buddha's teachings of our Celestial Empire. We wonder if the Abbot would be willing to take refuge in the Buddha?"

The temple abbot was somewhat bewildered as he looked at the row of senior monks in front of him.

No, do you want to hear what you're saying?

You are in the birthplace of Buddhism, yet you want me to take refuge in Buddha?

Am I no longer a Buddhist?

No, these people are talking about the Buddha's teachings in the Celestial Empire.

Isn't Buddhism in China transmitted from India to the east?

Seemingly noticing his surprise, one of the high monks kindly explained it to him.

"The Dharma here has been defiled by Mara; only the Dharma of our Celestial Empire is the true Dharma."

"You, you all."

At this point, is there anything the host still doesn't understand?
These monks from the Celestial Empire are trying to overthrow the Heavenly Gang and usurp India's dominant position in Buddhism.

"Hmph, that's absolutely impossible." (End of Chapter)
