Super Hero Monk: Hormones Journey to the West

Chapter 344 The Outer World
As it turned out, the Buddha's choice was wise.

This is because, when it comes to playing the internet game, Tang Xuanci is far ahead.

The Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, the Jade Emperor, and the Queen Mother are nothing compared to him, like old folks transferring 100 yuan to Niu Dehua via WeChat.

With the booming development of the internet and cultural industries, extraordinary events and phenomena that even the most sages couldn't have predicted have begun to emerge, including but not limited to:

1. In Aolai Country of the East Sea, there is a female cultivator with the online name "Miaohui Zhenjun". She uses transformation techniques to cosplay various gods and immortals, and deceives people online. In order to collect the fragments of the blessed land, she is simply insane and even dares to cosplay the Four Emperors.

After being wanted by the Domain Government, she actually slandered Ge Hong, one of the Four Celestial Masters and the patriarch of her own sect, and harassed her. She fled to Xiniu Hezhou and spread the rumors far and wide.

He was later captured by heavenly soldiers and generals. It is said that he died in prison due to a qi deviation caused by rebellious qi.

2. In the mortal realm of the Tang Dynasty, there was a cultivator from the Yin Sect named Zhong Shulin. In order to defy fate, he used the online name "Zhong Kui" to start live streaming and create amusement. Every night, he would go to the place with the heaviest Yin energy, interact with various ghosts and monsters, experiment on the souls of the recently deceased, and decipher the underworld industry.

If viewers in the live stream spam "Nine-Rank Lotus," he might even dare to tease the underworld officials.

Many clips and screenshots from his live streams have been circulated in the general public, causing widespread harm.

Later, the account was blocked, but I managed to escape capture by the underworld officials and went to Xiniu Hezhou to change to a new account and start broadcasting.

3. There are also three sheep demons in Dongsheng Shenzhou. They are the descendants of the Ghost Golden Sheep of the Twenty-Eight Constellations. Backed by the Taoist sect, they sell goods on Douying Live. With the best natural treasures of Dongsheng Shenzhou, they have attracted countless fans and made a fortune.

It has become a veritable treasure trove for the Taoist sect.

However, in several live broadcasts during the eighteenth year of the Zhenguan era, close to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

They launched a cake that only "the top immortals of the Eastern Continent eat," which is made by combining dozens of exotic flowers and herbs that are special to the Eastern Continent and has absorbed the essence of moonlight for two and a half years.

After the initial surge in sales, it was confirmed that the cakes were actually produced in Beiju Luzhou, with only strange wildflowers and herbs from the wilderness added. Moreover, the production line was copied from Azhou, and the cakes could produce an average of 2.5 tons per day.

Subsequently, more problems with the three sheep demons were exposed, sparking public outrage.

A lion demon named Simba rallied tens of thousands of deceived demon cultivators to smash any Taoist temples they encountered and beat any Taoist priests they came across in their respective territories.

It can truly be said that its pernicious influence is widespread.

Later, the three sheep demons were killed, and Gui Jin Yang, who was a high-ranking immortal in the Doubu sect, also suffered the consequences.

4. Bi Yuewu, the Star Lord of Doubu, was in a moment of inspiration at a banquet and made a freestyle remark about the secrets of the Heavenly Court. A colleague with ulterior motives secretly filmed it and uploaded the video, which sparked heated discussions and spread its harmful influence far and wide.

He was later dismissed from his post and severely punished.

5. In Tibet, there is an abbot of Guanyin Temple who was proven to have cheated the monk out of money and sex. He was found to have kept a mistress in the temple, and there were even two Ferraris in the underground garage.

The news spread throughout the mortal world, causing widespread harm. It was only through Gao Cuiqiang and Gao Cuisheng's skillful crisis management that the matter was brought under control.

Later, in full view of everyone, the abbot was secretly executed by the Pure Land School through a divine calamity.

6. The daughter of Deng Chanyu, the Six Harmonies Star Lord, was revealed to have only a mere Golden Core Realm cultivation level, yet she was able to be directly transferred to the ranks of immortals through "Heavenly Selection," and even held a high-ranking sixth-grade immortal position, which aroused the wrath of the lower realms and had a far-reaching negative impact.

Later, nothing came of it.

……

999. A young cultivator from Fengxian County who became famous after participating in "The Rap of the Three Realms" at Xiaoleiyin Temple was killed by the Heavenly Net after releasing several works such as "Temporary God's Foot" and "Journey to the West Gang". In a fit of anger, he wrote a song titled "Jade Emperor, I Want to Diss You".

This song, with its catchy flow, abstract lyrics, and panchiline that speaks the truth without warning, spread like wildfire throughout the three realms.

Lies cause no harm, but the truth is the sharpest knife.

Even though the song disappeared as soon as it was released on Douyin, countless transgender people spread it wildly on WeChat, passing it on by word of mouth, and the more it was suppressed, the more it spread.

Later, even ordinary children could sing it fluently, laughing and singing it in the streets, under bridges, and in the fields:

"Jade Emperor, Jade Emperor, I want four Disney parks!"
"This is what I wrote to Emperor Zhang Yu, not what I wrote to my brother Tang Yu."

"You heard me right, this is written for the Jade Emperor, not for the Imperial Brother."

"Why should I criticize you? Who's to blame you for messing up my work?"

"You say my lyrics are outrageous? Well then, today I'll show you what I'm made of: "..."

The pernicious influence is extremely widespread!
When this song was brought to the Lingxiao Palace for discussion, all the immortals were so stunned by it that their cerebellum shrank.

Celestial Master Zhang Daoling roared in fury, "The Internet is not some outer realm!"

Thus, this rapper whose talent for cultivating immortality was wasted became the most wanted criminal in the three realms.

The divine messengers laid a trap to capture him, leaving no stone unturned, but he was miraculously rescued by his devoted fans and remains active in the "underground" to this day.

The above incidents are merely the most widespread examples of the pernicious influence; there are countless other incidents with similarly widespread influence, too numerous to mention.

The relevant celestial offices simply cannot manage everything.

As online communities continue to evolve and differentiate, they can no longer even understand many comment sections. They may recognize each word individually, but when put together, they have no idea what the comments are saying.

The Jade Emperor, finally realizing that things were going badly, almost burst into tears.

The situation in Dongsheng Shenzhou was slightly better, but not by much, simply because Laozi's petty tricks were utterly insignificant compared to the skill of a master craftsman.

They racked their brains and tried various methods to deal with the situation, but the results were poor and even counterproductive, making the situation more obvious than it was intended.

At this point, it would be impossible to make the network disappear directly from the Three Realms; this would be no less difficult than completely shutting down the power supply to Tang Xuanci's home planet.

Let's stop talking nonsense.

Two and a half years have passed in the blink of an eye.

As Beaker predicted, although the End-of-Dharma Movement was carried out very discreetly and gently, with her and Tang Xuanci merely providing some guidance and pushing things along at key moments, it still achieved results.

The number of offerings to the Heavenly Court and Taoist temples in the mortal realm has noticeably decreased, the conversion rate of true believers has dropped even further, and their prestige in the cultivation world has plummeted... What's most alarming is that the month-on-month decline is also widening.

Only the Tathagata remained steadfast, building high defensive lines to withstand the enemy's continuous attacks while simultaneously helping the people and spreading Buddhism within his territory.

Although their productivity level has fallen far behind, the large amount of faith power consumed in the previous attack on the Daoist sect is rapidly recovering.

Even Tang Xuanci was helpless in the face of this.

Beaker suggested to him that Buddha is currently racing ahead on the faith track, but the Jade Emperor and Laozi are getting slower and slower, and the longer it goes on, the further behind they will fall, which is actually very disadvantageous for them.

There are no permanent enemies, and there are no permanent allies.

The Jade Emperor previously helped Buddha deal with the Taoist sect because the Taoist sect was powerful.

But things are different now. The strength that Buddha displayed in the battle of the Western Sea probably shocked even the Jade Emperor.

He must also be very wary of Buddha.

Therefore, we can find an opportunity to persuade him to switch his allegiance to Taoism and immediately attack Tathagata.

Tang Xuanci was overjoyed and immediately ran to Yinyin's meditation room.

But actually, even without him saying it, Guanyin had already realized the problem.

It's obvious to anyone that once Buddha regains his strength, he will inevitably conquer the entire Eastern Continent or launch a counterattack on Mount Ling.

Of course, the former is more likely, so the Dao Ancestor should be the most worried right now.

The Jade Emperor could not sit still any longer, for he knew that the path of faith was the true path to power in the Three Realms.

If we allow Buddha to grow too powerful, and Buddhism completely suppresses Taoism, then this number one anti-demon will probably be uncontrollable, and it's not impossible for him to completely turn the world upside down.

This is definitely not the situation that the Jade Emperor would like to see.

So he took the initiative to invite the Three Pure Ones and Guanyin to heaven for a small meeting first, and then summoned all the immortals and gods to a grand meeting in the Lingxiao Palace, where they decided to mobilize 500,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to annihilate the demon Buddha and pacify the Three Realms in one fell swoop.
