The prehistoric infrastructure maniac

Chapter 156 Asura's Blood Sea

Seeing that Daoist Xingyun had chosen to ignore the matter, Yaoji looked at him in disbelief and asked, "Teacher, do you also think I'm wrong?"

"You haven't done anything terribly wrong, but you have to be prepared to bear the consequences of your choices."

Master Xingyun shook his head slightly and said, "Everyone has to pay a certain price for what they do. If you can't afford to pay it, then don't do it. If you think you are right, then no matter what the outcome is, don't regret it, because it was your own choice."

"Yang Tianyou, will you regret this?" Master Xingyun asked, turning to look at Yang Tianyou.

"I don't care what your reasons were for getting close to Yao Ji. After all, she became your wife and bore you three children. Now that things have come to this, do you really love her? Have you thought about the future of your three children?"

After hearing Xingyun Daoist's words, Yang Tianyou's expression changed slightly. Facing Yao Ji's tearful gaze, he remained silent for a moment before closing his eyes and saying, "There's nothing to regret!"

"Good! As expected of a disciple of the Western Sect! If I had such a disciple, I would never bear to let him die," Master Xingyun nodded and smiled slightly, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes:
“Very good! Yang Tianyou, rest assured, I will let you train well in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. As for Yao Ji and your three children, my disciples and grand-disciples, even if they have made mistakes, it is up to me to deal with them.”

"Zhenwu, take Yaoji to Peach Mountain and let her cultivate and reflect on herself there," Xingyun Daoist instructed Zhenwu.

"Furthermore, you should take Yang Jiao under your wing and teach him well. Send Yang Chan to Penglai Immortal Island and entrust her to your senior sister Binglian for instruction."

"As for Yang Jian," Xingyun Daoist said, looking at Yuding Zhenren. Facing Xingyun Daoist's gaze, Yuding Zhenren trembled slightly and quickly bowed respectfully: "Please give your instructions, Uncle Shimo!"

"Take him back and teach him properly! If he doesn't teach him well, I'll come after you!" Master Xingyun said this calmly, but Master Yuding felt his scalp tingle and secretly groaned as he respectfully agreed.

After saying that, Daoist Xingyun turned around and left the Lingxiao Palace, and Huanglong hurriedly followed.

"Was Yang Tianyou's approach to Yao Ji arranged by the Western Sect? Why would they do this?" Huang Long, who had caught up with Xingyun Daoist, couldn't help but ask.

“There are always some people who are afraid that the world is not peaceful enough. They probably think that this prehistoric world is too peaceful!” Xingyun Daoist said calmly, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes: “In that case, I have no choice but to find something for them to do.”

"What do you want to do?" Huang Long couldn't help but ask.

Master Xingyun laughed: "In such a vast West, having only one Western Sect is too few. I once repaired the Western ley lines, which is of great merit to the beings of the West. It would be only natural for my Asura Sect, created by my evil corpse incarnation, to go to the West to spread its teachings, wouldn't it?"

"You don't mean you want to start a war with the Western Religion, do you?" Huang Long's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

"The Western religion is very good at converting sentient beings, saying things like 'lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot.' I'd like to see how many Asura clansmen they can convert into Buddhist disciples," Master Xingyun said with a playful, noncommittal tone.

"This primordial world has been peaceful for millions of years, which is indeed quite boring. Since Zhunti has already targeted my disciples, let's play along!"

Huang Long couldn't help but ask, "But... is it really worth going to such lengths?"

"The struggle for destiny is an inevitable issue sooner or later," Master Xingyun said, shaking his head.

In the underworld, beside the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Gouchen, who had personally escorted Yang Tianyou here, saw the Red Lotus Daoist who had already arrived and was waiting, and couldn't help but respectfully say, "Father!"

"Hehe. The Jade Emperor set out the Heavenly Laws, forbidding immortals and gods from marrying mortals, yet he has a sister and daughter, and even a dignified saint has a son who has become a great emperor in the Heavenly Court. How ridiculous!" Yang Tianyou suddenly laughed.

“You are indeed laughable,” the Red Lotus Taoist said noncommittally. “My child can become the Heavenly Emperor and the Mother of the Earthly Sovereign, while your child, if not the Jade Emperor’s nephew and the Sage’s grand-disciple, what do you think they will become in the future?”

Seeing Yang Tianyou's expression change and fall silent upon hearing this, the Red Lotus Daoist continued, "Next, the Asura Clan will leave the Blood Sea to spread their teachings to the West. At that time, bloodshed will be inevitable, and it is all because of you. How do you think you will repay this karmic debt after experiencing the suffering of reincarnation?"

Hearing Honglian Daoist's words, Yang Tianyou's expression changed: "No! You can't do this! The West is a land of ultimate bliss. If the Asuras go to the West and start a massacre, it's a great sin. Aren't you afraid of affecting your own merits and fortune?"

"Talk to me about merit and fortune? You think you can?" The Red Lotus Daoist laughed in anger. "Yang Tianyou, don't you understand yet? What are you? Just a pawn of Zhunti, a pawn that can be discarded at any time!" "How can you possibly understand the games played between sages? The Western Paradise you believe you protect is nothing but a facade. You Western beings enter the Paradise after death; in a sense, the Paradise is the underworld."

"The Western Religion has seized power from the Underworld. The Lord of the Underworld, Emperor Fengdu, is my disciple. Next, the Asura Church will help the Underworld establish a City God system in the West to enhance the Underworld's fortune."

"Enhancing the fortune of the underworld is enhancing my fortune. This fortune originally belonged to me, but it was stolen by the Western Religion."

"And do you really think the West is a paradise? The Western religion is even more inclusive than the Jie sect, capable of converting even the most wicked and evil. When such people fill the Western religion, when converting sentient beings becomes a tool for cultivation, sentient beings are merely puppets providing faith, tamed, treating suffering as tempering, and completely losing their own selves."

Seeing Yang Tianyou's changing expression, the Red Lotus Daoist paused for a moment before continuing in a slightly cold tone:
"Next, the Asura race will enter the West, using slaughter to sever the shackles binding the beings there, making them understand the true nature of good and evil. Kindness is the essence of humanity; evil is not meant to be tolerated, but must be eradicated. It's like being sick; what you really need to do is cure it, not silently adapt and endure it."

After saying that, looking at Yang Tianyou, whose expression was conflicted and whose faith and understanding were about to collapse, the Red Lotus Taoist waved his hand and threw him into the animal realm of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Yang Tianyou, who entered it, also experienced a rapid disintegration of his physical body and primordial spirit, ultimately leaving only a wisp of spiritual light to be reincarnated.

"Fengdu, you will make arrangements later. When the conflict between the Asura Sect and the Western Sect is at its most intense, let Yang Tianyou reincarnate into the Asura Path, so that he can experience the doctrines of the Asura Sect and the more realistic Western Sect," the Red Lotus Taoist instructed Fengdu, who had been standing respectfully behind him.

After Fengdu respectfully responded and took Gouchen to Fengdu City, Houtu Niangniang, who suddenly appeared to the side, couldn't help but ask, "Do you really want the Asura race to leave the Blood Sea and start a war with the Western Sect?"

"As you can see, it wasn't me who wanted to stir up trouble, but Zhunti who plotted against me first," Honglian Daoist said noncommittally.

Soon, as the Asura race, led by Mara, departed the Netherworld Blood Sea in great force, expanding their territory and spreading their teachings extensively in the western part of the prehistoric world, the entire prehistoric world was in an uproar.
Even some veteran quasi-saints and powerful figures, as well as the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, were taken aback by Shi Mo's extravagant gesture.

They never expected that Shi Mo, who usually seemed kind and gentle, would be so decisive and direct when angered, and would start a war and sectarian conflict at the slightest disagreement!
In the Western Paradise, even the Daoist Zhunti, who was secretly plotting and scheming, was in a bit of a bind.

The Sage, equally surprised by Shi Mo's strong reaction, frowned and looked helplessly at Daoist Zhunti: "I told you before, this matter involves Shi Mo's disciple, which is somewhat inappropriate."

“Brother, things have come to this point, how can we possibly bow down to him?” Zhunti Daoist couldn’t help but ask.

The Sage of Guidance sighed and said, "It's just that the Asura Cult is spreading its teachings in the West, which has had a significant impact on our Western Cult! We finally saw signs of prosperity and flourishing in the West, but now... Moreover, Shi Mo has done great deeds for the West, and if he wants to compete for the West's fortune, even the Heavenly Dao will acquiesce. We really can't stop him."

"Hmph! The Asura race only knows how to kill, how can they gain the recognition of the Western beings? If we can convert some of the Asura race, we might be able to share in the fortune of the Asura sect," Zhunti Daoist sneered.

"Difficult indeed! Let's see how the Asura Cult plans to spread its teachings!" The Guide Saint shook his head slightly.

As soon as the Asura clan left the Sea of ​​Blood and arrived in the West, he already sensed the turbulence in the Western religion's fortune.

Although he was a Western saint, he could not see the will of Heaven for a time. He only felt an invisible pressure coming, which made even a saint like him feel very bad.

Next, under the watchful eyes of various powerful forces in the prehistoric world, after Mara and others led the Asura race into the west and occupied some territory, they did not rush to expand and spread their religion. Instead, they established a kingdom in the west that believed in the Asura religion.

Under the secret guidance of the Red Lotus Taoist, the Asura Clan established a series of almost harsh systems after founding their nation to guarantee the rights of the people and social order, which had a strong flavor of severe punishments and harsh laws.

However, under such a system, the country has actually developed very well.

The people were able to live a life of plenty through their hard work, commerce gradually prospered, and with the decisive leadership and the warlike army, the country quickly expanded.
A nation that constantly kills and expands, instead of provoking the people of the West to rise up in rebellion because of its killings, has become increasingly powerful and become a Western superpower. This has led more and more people to believe in the Asura religion and the idea that might makes right, which has truly surprised the people of the prehistoric world.

The killings and wars that spread gradually awakened the Western people who were immersed in the peace of the Western Paradise, and also greatly increased the pressure on the Western religions, almost causing Jieyin and Zhunti to collapse.

Weren't you supposed to be spreading your religion? What's with this talk of establishing a nation? And then you go on a massive expansionist campaign, trying to conquer the entire West? This is shaking the very foundations of Western religions!
