"The most honored one has flipped the table?"

Song Wuji was surprised: "You've already taken that seat, why are you still thinking about flipping the table?"

The most revered being in the Three Realms and Six Paths is none other than the Great Heavenly Venerable.

"It's hard to say. Perhaps he has comprehended something and wants to transcend the Three Realms?"

Lin Fajing shook his head: "Let's not think about this."

"After all, this is just a guess. But if the most noble person were to overturn the table and cause chaos in the Three Realms and Six Paths from the inside out, I really don't know what else is possible."

"After all, even if something from the outside were to break in, and it were extremely dangerous, it shouldn't be this bad, right?"

Song Wuji replied, “Not necessarily. There is a secret realm under my jurisdiction called the Sangha Secret Realm. It was originally a Buddhist kingdom under the rule of Manjushri Bodhisattva, corresponding to Xiao Bodhisattva in history. The golden body inside was shattered, and hungry ghosts climbed onto the lotus platform. After I destroyed the temple, I even issued a curse, causing the secret realm to suffer from continuous drought and frequent plagues, making the people miserable.”

"Hehe, that's the downside of Buddhism. The Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas they attain are half fruition levels and half karma levels. They are neither immortals nor gods, and they need the support of sentient beings."

"Except for a few with great wisdom who decisively entered Nirvana and awaited the end of the world, the rest suffered heavy losses!"

"Manjushri Bodhisattva is one of the four great Bodhisattvas and a pillar of Buddhism. He must have also gone to Nirvana and is waiting for the calamity to pass before coming out to reap the fruits. This is normal. However, you should never practice those Bodhisattva prophecies or Buddhist supernatural powers, otherwise who knows if you will end up as an incarnation yourself."

Song Wuji agreed wholeheartedly and then asked, "I wonder if the True Man would be willing to establish a Taoist academy in that secluded place where monks gather?"

“Alright,” Lin Fajing said. “I won’t stand on ceremony. Occupying a Buddhist country will be very useful to my Daoist sect. If there are many starving people there, we can implement the Taiping teachings and convert them into Yellow Turban followers. They will be considered non-ranked. After that, we can worship the Yellow Heaven God and perform the rituals. In this way, there will be three types of the nine ranks: the ninth-rank Yellow Turban Warrior, who focuses on cultivating essence and qi; the ninth-rank Yellow Turban Priest, who focuses on cultivating qi and spirit; and the ninth-rank Taiping Daoist, who cultivates all three treasures.”

"The Yellow Turban Warriors are strong, eat a lot, and are extremely endurance and perseverance. They are invulnerable to ordinary swords and spears."

"The Yellow Turban Priest is skilled in enhancement techniques and the art of healing with talismanic water, and can empower Yellow Turban warriors."

"Taiping Taoists combine the two: they are incredibly strong and invulnerable to swords and spears, and they also know talismanic arts and military formations, such as summoning wind, creating fog, praying for rain, and praying for clear skies."

"Once you reach the eighth rank, there are three kinds of rituals: Yellow Turban General, Taoist Priest of Taiping, and Grand Master of Ceremonies."

"At the seventh rank, one needs to cultivate the Golden Core of the Peace Talisman, and focus on the Heavenly Gang Great Divine Power, which allows one to create soldiers from beans, summon wind and rain, and control the Five Thunders..."

"At the fifth rank, one becomes a general of the Three Dukes, a chief libationer of the Three Altars, or a great teacher of virtue and wisdom."

"Going further up, it involves the authority of the Yellow Heaven Emperor. I only know that the third rank is the Lord of the Way of Great Peace."

"Our sect only has fragments of the Taiping Dao lineage. Even the seventh-grade Golden Elixir method only includes the Wind and Rain Golden Elixir method, not the Five Thunder Golden Elixir method, nor the Taiping Golden Elixir method which mainly cultivates the ability to turn beans into soldiers."

"But the rituals for the ninth and eighth ranks are still clear, and perhaps they can serve as seeds to continue the Taiping Dao lineage of yesteryear."

Song Wuji was indeed satisfied after hearing this: "Good, then let's build a Taoist temple and a Yellow Turban altar in that secret place for monks."

That secret realm contains both the Pure Land Treasure Tree and the Impure Treasure Tree.

The two precious trees can continuously transform hungry ghosts and then turn them into celestial beings in secret realms. However, they are actually just ordinary hungry people who are very devout Buddhists and are difficult to reform.

Despite its significant drawbacks, it was a relatively safe way for Song Wuji to recruit refugees and increase the population, making it a unique "spirit mother tree." Most of the hungry ghosts here were killed by demons in the real world and unable to reincarnate in the underworld, while others were beings from the hungry ghost realm who were transformed into celestial beings through Buddhist teachings.

These transformed celestial beings were initially in a daze, but later devoted themselves to worshipping Buddha and became extremely numb. They were completely brainwashed, and only occasionally did they retain one or two skills or crafts. Almost none of them could maintain a clear mind.

Even the painters, craftsmen, and musicians that Lü Han brought out from the secret realm, after joining the Human Path of Taichang Realm, would recite "Amitabha" after eating their fill, thanking the Buddha, but not thanking Song Wuji at all.

Or it was the result of Song Wuji using the indoctrination token to brainwash people into loyalty, loyalty, loyalty.

However, since they were loyal to both the local deity and the Buddha, they were imprinted with the essence of thought after being transformed by the two precious trees.

Once discovered to be proselytizing in private, they would be sent to clear land; those who repeatedly refused to change their ways would be sent to mine.

If I could convert to the Yellow Turban Religion, that would be wonderful.

Otherwise, if it spreads like a plague and turns Taichang into a Buddhist kingdom, Song Wuji will be helpless.

Therefore, Song Wuji now attaches great importance to missionary work and occasionally uses the secret realm token to preach.

"Is it possible to change one's beliefs?"

Song Wuji inquired about this crucial question and then explained the two precious trees.

"Those two precious trees are probably not the same ones as those in the Shakyamuni Mandala, but they were left behind by the Bodhisattva after his Nirvana. Gathering eight precious trees to construct the mandala is the ritual for attaining Buddhahood."

Lin Fajing stroked his beard: "The one most closely related to Buddhism is Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun. Let me see if I can perform the ritual to transform the two precious trees into Taiyi Qinghua Wonderful Trees."

"Actually, the main thing is that it might contain Buddhist supernatural powers, but we don't know if it's a Buddha-land in the palm of your hand, the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination, or Manjushri's Great Vow..."

"If all else fails, transplant the two precious trees to the Heavenly Pillar Treasure Extreme Mysterious Heaven, and use the power of the cave heaven to erase the Buddhist mark. Leave this matter to me."

"The most urgent task is to go down into the well with the Lord of the Realm and get rid of that evil dragon. Although killing him before he has committed any serious crimes may bring some karmic consequences, the Heavenly Court and the Underworld have already fallen. Hesitation will only lead to more trouble."

After saying that, he led Song Wuji to the Ancestral Master Hall, first offered incense to the Ancestral Master, and then with a wave of his hand, the precious sword held by the Ancestral Master's statue fell into his hand.

The sword was inscribed with the words: "Supreme Sword for Slaying Dragons and Exorcising Evil."

"This sword was originally named the Supreme Demon-Slaying and Evil-Exterminating Sword. It was originally a pair of swords, the Supreme Demon-Slaying Sword and the Supreme Evil-Exterminating Sword. Later, the patriarch combined them and transformed them into one sword."

"The Demon-Slaying Sword was originally created by slaying more than 300 dragons in the Dragon Nest, which gave it a unique ability to slay dragons. Therefore, the name was changed from Demon-Slaying to Dragon-Slaying, and it is specifically designed to subdue dragons."

"When building bridges in the countryside, there is often an iron sword under the bridge. It is a replica of the sword in the hands of the ancestor. It can subdue dragons that move through water. If a dragon dares to move through water, it will surely break its dragon energy and sever its soul."

"This sword is against the natural order and has caused too much killing. I have been cultivating its nature here. Today I informed the patriarch, and the patriarch has agreed that the two of us should kill this fellow."
