Rebirth of the Siberian Tiger: The younger sister is actually the reincarnation of the empress!

Chapter 371 The Conflict Over the State Religion!

Sichuan Province, Qingming Mountain.

A figure was moving quickly through the dense forest.

His movements looked incredibly swift; with a light tap of his toes downwards, he instantly floated more than ten meters away. His movements were incredibly fluid, as if he were flying on the ground, very graceful.

This was a handsome young Taoist priest dressed in a blue robe. The robe was embroidered with celestial clouds in silver thread, and the character "Tao" was written on the back.

Before long, the young Taoist priest arrived at a pine forest.

"It should be right here."

Looking at the austere forest ahead, composed of rows of vigorous, ancient black pines, the young Taoist priest smiled.

The next moment, the young Taoist priest summoned a crimson immortal sword, held it in his hand, and with a flash, flew into the pine forest in front of him.

A moment later, in the central area of ​​the dimly lit pine forest.

boom!
"kill!"

The young Taoist priest, with a stern face, wielded his crimson immortal sword like a long crimson dragon, colliding with a roaring, ferocious-looking black-scaled giant python.

The crimson immortal sword struck a wound on the head of the black-scaled giant python, causing blood to flow freely. After a soft groan, the sword flew back into the young Taoist's hand.

The black-scaled python, struck by the crimson immortal sword, halted its forward momentum with its mouth wide open. It then flew more than ten meters, crashing through several ancient pine trees before falling heavily to the ground, letting out a series of painful cries.

The wound inflicted by the crimson immortal sword was quite deep, and the scalding blood almost stained the entire head of the black-scaled giant python red.

"Beast, die!"

The young Taoist pressed his advantage, letting out a cold shout before forming a hand seal. His crimson immortal sword emitted a blinding flame, illuminating the surrounding dim forest.

Swish!
In an instant, the crimson immortal sword shot out, carrying endless heat waves, and rushed towards the black-scaled giant python.

Roar!
As if sensing a life-or-death crisis, the black-scaled python roared and used all its strength to spew out billowing black mist. Wherever the black mist reached, the ancient pines withered and the trees died.

Unexpectedly, the raging flames on the crimson immortal sword directly repelled the black mist, allowing the sword to easily pierce through the dense and dangerous black mist and strike the head of the black-scaled giant python behind it.

boom!
The sharp immortal sword pierced through the skull of the black-scaled giant python, its entire blade disappearing into it.

Instantly, the black-scaled python's body stiffened, and it let out a shrill scream. The next moment, its massive body collapsed limply to the ground, lifeless.

"Humph!"

Looking at the corpse of the black-scaled giant python, the young Taoist snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain.

Then, he changed the hand seals, summoning the immortal sword that was stuck in the head of the black-scaled python back into his own hand.

Next, the young Taoist priest, somewhat excited, walked towards a huge tree stump in the center.

On the edge of the tree stump, a Ganoderma lucidum (reishi mushroom) was growing, its body entirely black and white, emitting a faint gray glow.

"It really is a withered wood fungus!"

The young Taoist priest's eyes lit up. He took out a jade shovel and was about to walk towards the withered mushroom.

Whoosh!
Unexpectedly, at that moment, a streak of purple light, as fast as lightning, suddenly flew from the side and swept away the withered fungus on the wooden stake.

The young Taoist priest's smile froze.

"How dare you! Which thief dares to steal my elixir!"

The young Taoist priest was furious. He turned to look to his right, and the crimson immortal sword in his hand emitted a blazing light.

On an ancient pine tree to the side stood a man dressed in flowing white robes, holding a withered mushroom in his hand. He said with a playful expression, "Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. This withered mushroom was originally ownerless. When did it become yours?"

"Hmph, I obtained the information about this withered wood fungus at great expense, and even killed the guardian beast for it. You suddenly intervened and intercepted it, and you still have the nerve to say that?"
"I'll give you a chance. Return the withered mushroom immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!" The young Taoist's eyes flashed coldly, and his whole body exuded murderous aura.

“Fellow Daoist, this information wasn’t just bought by you. I also spent a lot of money to get information about this withered wood fungus, and it’s something I urgently need. How could I possibly give it to you?”
"I am a disciple of the Pure Origin Immortal Sect. I wonder if you, fellow Daoist, would do me the honor of giving me this withered wood fungus?"

The white-robed cultivator's tone turned cold, carrying a strong sense of threat.

"What a joke! We're always the ones who give face to the Heavenly Dao Sect! Since you won't hand over the Withered Wood Mushroom, then die!"

The young Taoist priest sneered and made his move instantly.

"Hmph, I'm not afraid of you!"

For a time, the two sides were locked in a fierce battle, and it remained a close contest for a long time...

As the ancient powers rapidly recover, their influence in the Dragon Kingdom grows, and in search of resources, they have traversed almost every corner of the Dragon Kingdom.

Disciples of various ancient forces, in particular, often clash over resources, sometimes resulting in death or injury.

Imperial Capital
Inside the office.

"Dean Lin, I wonder what your considerations are? Establishing my Heavenly Dao Sect as the state religion will only bring benefits to the Dragon Kingdom, and there will be no harm in it."

Daozi looked at Dean Lin with a smile, but her tone carried an unquestionable air.

Dean Lin was filled with sorrow. These ancient forces were all unreasonable. Upon arriving in the capital, they were thinking of ordering the Dragon Kingdom to make the Heavenly Dao Sect the state religion.

"Dean Lin, the patience of my Heavenly Dao Sect is limited. If it weren't for having a legitimate reason to protect the safety of the Chinese people in the Dragon Kingdom, my Heavenly Dao Sect would not have wanted the title of state religion!"

However, once my Heavenly Dao Sect becomes the state religion of the Dragon Kingdom, it will naturally be able to protect the Dragon Kingdom from the invasion of the demon race.

Seeing that Dean Lin remained silent, Daozi frowned, pressed down on Dean Lin with a sharp gaze, and said in a grand and imposing manner.

"Alas, it is certainly a good thing that the Heavenly Dao Sect has become the state religion of my Dragon Kingdom. However, I hope that the Heavenly Dao Sect can send more people to help my Dragon Kingdom stop the invasion of some demon kings."

Left with no other choice, Dean Lin could only agree and nodded with difficulty.

Upon hearing this, Daozi's eyes revealed a look of satisfaction.

Not long after, the Dragon Kingdom officially announced the news to the outside world, formally establishing the Heavenly Dao Sect as the state religion of the Dragon Kingdom.

This had a tremendous impact, and the people of China were discussing it extensively.

dong dong dong~
There was a knock on the office door.

"Enter!"

The next moment, Assistant Zhang rushed in.

"Dean, something terrible has happened! All the major ancient forces have come to us, demanding that you immediately revoke the order designating the Heavenly Dao Sect as the state religion and announce a new state religion!"

"what?"

Dean Lin's expression changed.

"Judging from their expressions, it seems they all want to establish their own sect as the state religion."

Assistant Zhang also looked troubled as he spoke.

"How is that possible? The state religion can't be changed so easily."

Dean Lin was immediately in a difficult position.
