Crow in the West, starting to evolve from the plundering entry

Chapter 361: Explaining and intercepting teachings

On the vast mountain peak, two figures stood suspended in mid-air.

One of them was Guang Chengzi, the head of the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

One of them was Yu Qiye.

It's hard to imagine that Guang Chengzi of the Chan Sect would have a long talk with a demon emperor.

What's even harder to imagine is that the two seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

A smile would occasionally appear on his face.

"I never expected that the Demon Emperor, at such a young age, would have such ambitions."

Guang Chengzi looked at Yu Qiye and praised him from the bottom of his heart.

It must be said that new talents emerge in every generation.

This era truly belongs to this Demon Emperor.

Even he is not as good as him.

This impatience is neither a sign of cultivation nor insight.

Rather, it is vitality and ambition.

While he only wanted to continue the tradition of the Chan Sect, this Demon Emperor actually wanted to rise against the tide, replace Buddhism, and revitalize the entire demon race.

It should be understood that Buddhism today is like a grain of sand scattered throughout the myriad worlds.

Its prosperity far exceeded expectations.

However, facing such a Buddhist sect, the Demon Emperor was not afraid and instead advanced.

He even went so far as to declare, "Can I take his place?"

Such existence is truly astonishing.

"The behavior of the Buddhist sect is indeed shameful, but the Buddhist sect is ultimately a so-called prestigious sect, and even our Chan sect cannot easily cause them trouble."

Guang Chengzi expressed his concerns.

The Chan sect did indeed dislike Buddhism, and even harbored some hostility towards it.

However, Buddhism is ultimately seen as a prestigious and orthodox sect by the world.

If the Chan Sect actively seeks trouble, I'm afraid...
"So, I'll give you a reason, a very good reason."

At this point, Yu Qiye emphasized again:
"Just like this time, the Buddhist sect plotted against you Chan Sect disciples behind your backs."

Guang Chengzi listened quietly, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He understood the unspoken meaning in Yu Qiye's words.

It seems this little guy has some dirt on Buddhism.

"Perhaps cooperating with him would be a good choice."

Amidst his racing thoughts, Guang Chengzi also felt a sense of anticipation for the future.

Not long after, Yu Qiye left quietly.

This meeting with Hiroshige was a private one.

Although they all stand atop the mountains.

However, layers upon layers of barriers had already been set up around it, enough to block all outside prying eyes.

Therefore, it won't alert anyone else.

It's unlikely that any power would have guessed that the demon race would actually be 'colluding' with the Chan Sect to some extent.

This is something most forces wouldn't even dare to dream of.

However, Yu Qiye was very satisfied with this meeting.

All I can say is that he truly lives up to his name, Guang Chengzi.

There is no prejudice.

All that remains is a profound understanding of the vicissitudes of life and a sense of indifference.

Moreover, he was very determined.

He would do anything to make the Chan Sect stronger once again.

This is good.

This is exactly the kind of partner Yu Qiye needs.

"Nowadays, the Chan sect is no match for Buddhism."

"But the Taoist traditions are inherently contradictory. As long as he has the intention to compete with Buddhism, then there will be a reason for it."

With a chuckle, Yu Qiye looked towards the East China Sea.

Unfortunately, the Jie Sect ceased to exist after the Great Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods.

Otherwise it would be more interesting.

Jiejiao

It is ranked alongside Chanjiao and Rendaojiao as one of the three major religious sects.

Its leader was Tongtian Jiaozhu (Lingbao Tianzun), who advocated "education for all" and accepted disciples widely, regardless of their background or race (including a large number of demon disciples). Therefore, its power far exceeded that of the Chan Sect, but the uneven quality of its disciples also sowed the seeds of disaster.

Especially after the Battle of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation during the Great Calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, the main force of the Jie Sect was almost completely wiped out. Disciples either went on the Investiture of the Gods list (such as the Golden Spirit Mother becoming Doumu Yuanjun), or were taken away by the Western Sect (such as Chang Er Dingguang Xian), or died and disappeared (such as the Turtle Spirit Mother).

This rendered the Jie Sect truly defunct in name only. More importantly, their leader, Lingbao Tianzun, also known as Tongtian Jiaozhu, was summoned to Zixiao Palace by that one.

Without a leader, the Jie Sect, which existed in name only, naturally disappeared into the river of time.

Even today, some people are unaware of the name 'Intercepting Sect'.

However, it must be said that the Jie Sect is the sect that is closest to the demon race.

They advocated for education for all, regardless of social status.

They treat everyone equally.

They treat even the smallest monsters as equals.
However, such sects are ultimately going against the will of Heaven.

"What a pity."

With a long sigh, Yu Qiye looked towards the Heavenly Court.

In fact, there are quite a few disciples of the Jie Sect in the Heavenly Court.

They were all constrained by the Investiture of the Gods, and their strength could not advance even an inch.

For example, the Holy Mother Jinling was given the title "Doumu Yuanjun," who ruled over all the stars in the heavens and held an extremely high position.

For example, the Three Immortal Maidens of the Clouds (Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao): were bestowed the title of "Fairy Maidens Who Respond to the World's Needles," and were in charge of the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, specifically in charge of human reproduction.

and also
These are all human calamities.

Now, however, they are constrained by a small list of deities.

Not only was his cultivation level difficult to improve, but he also dared not disobey the Heavenly Court's decree.

"If we could free them from the Investiture of the Gods."

Upon realizing this, Yu Qiye was suddenly jolted, and immediately suppressed this audacious idea.

Do not,
No way
We mustn't get our hands on the Investiture of the Gods.

This is the location of the Heavenly Court's vital gate.

If anyone were to attempt to seize the Investiture of the Gods, it would be like pulling out a tiger's teeth—a fatal mistake.

Back then, it wasn't just 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, or the Third Prince Nezha and Erlang Shen Yang Jian attacking.

Instead, they were the legendary Five Emperors.

Even worse, it could anger a sage.

so.
"Compared to the Investiture of the Gods, it's even worse."

Yu Qiye thought of another disciple of the Jie Sect.

More accurately, it was the last spark of the Jie Sect.

And that was none other than the Holy Mother Wudang, one of the four direct disciples of the Tongtian Sect Master.

It is said that after the great calamity, she went into seclusion.

But few people know that she occasionally walks the world.

Yu Qiye happened to know his identity.

"Old Mother of Lishan"

As he murmured, Yu Qiye's eyes flickered.

The Old Mother of Lishan is most likely the incarnation of the Holy Mother of Wudang walking among humans.

"In this world, there is no such thing as a sudden rise. Every rise has its traces."

"Before the Old Mother of Lishan, no one knew anything about her. It was as if she was born out of thin air."

"Then there's only one possibility."

"His true form has already shaken the heavens."

Thinking of this, Yu Qiye headed straight for the Heavenly Demon Dynasty.

He wants to arrange for someone to investigate the Old Mother of Lishan.

Seek opportunities to make contact with them.

If we can make contact and cooperate more deeply, perhaps a great church can be revived once again.

"The Jie Sect advocates that teachings should be diverse and unique. Its lineage is astonishing and can be considered the best state religion of the Heavenly Demon Dynasty."

Yu Qiye grinned.

They had already figured out the best way to cooperate with the Jie Sect.

One religion, one dynasty, sharing weal and woe.

The Jie Sect granted the Heavenly Demon Divine Dynasty a world-shaking inheritance.

The Heavenly Demon Dynasty became the cradle for the Jie Sect to train its disciples.

By complementing each other, they will surely achieve new glories.

Shortly after that, two orders were issued from the deepest part of the Heavenly Demon Divine Dynasty, originating from the Heavenly Demon Divine Palace.

"By order of the Demon Emperor, secretly search for the Old Mother of Lishan."

"Also, summon Shen Gongbao."
