Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 102 Western Allegiance, Emperor Qing Founds Buddhism, and Guides Those Seeking Help

The biography written by Zhunti, and the True Words of Emperor Qing. Even Emperor Qing himself found them absurd after reading them. When did he ever say such things? When did his words ever have so many meanings?

Di Qing remembered that when he said some of these words, they clearly meant something else entirely. But with Zhunti's embellishment and modification, they became a kind of selfless dedication, upholding the principles of the primordial world and seeking the path to primordial chaos for all living beings.

Di Qing found it laughable, but he also knew that this was Jieyin and Zhunti's intention, so he really didn't know what to say: "Jieyin, Zhunti, you two are really something else."

"I hope Emperor Qing Buddha will not take offense. Actually, we also had our own selfish motives. Back then, Luo Lian caused too much harm to the West. The West became the one with the fewest resources, the thinnest foundation, and the weakest lineage among the five directions of the primordial world."

"At that time, the West was simply a barren land in the eyes of all living beings in the primordial world. Western cultivators were also seen as weaklings, easy targets to bully. Therefore, we hope to intimidate those cultivators by worshipping Emperor Qing Buddha. Let them know that the West is all Emperor Qing Buddha's territory, and we, the living beings of the West, are all under Emperor Qing Buddha's command."

"The mighty name of Emperor Qing Buddha is known throughout the primordial world. Ever since the beings of the primordial world learned that we in the West are under your command, none of them have dared to do anything to us Western cultivators."

Good heavens, Zhunti has really mastered the art of borrowing power and taking advantage of others.

In truth, Zhunti and Jieyin's actions were a last resort. The West has a weak foundation and is easily bullied. Relying on the prestige of Emperor Qing was also a way to avoid being bullied.

Di Qing sighed with admiration, looking at the two who were filled with fear and trepidation: "Alright, you two don't need to put on such an act. I won't pursue the matter of you using my prestige to intimidate all living beings in the primordial world."

"Thank you, Emperor Qing Buddha. We, the beings of the West, are deeply grateful." Zhunti expressed his gratitude repeatedly, almost to the point of tears.

This left Di Qing speechless. He then went to Mount Sumeru and said, "From now on, you may use my reputation. But you cannot use it to do whatever you want."

"Rest assured, Emperor Qing Buddha, we will absolutely not act recklessly. However, we earnestly request that Emperor Qing Buddha become our true reliance in the West. After all, all beings in the West believe in Emperor Qing Buddha, and the Buddhist and Taoist system we cultivate was also created by you. Therefore..." Zhunti then seized the opportunity to reveal his hidden purpose.

"Haha... Zhunti, you're really something else. You really know how to seize opportunities." Di Qing naturally understood Zhunti's meaning: he wanted to turn the false into the real, making Di Qing a true reliance for the people of the West.

In truth, Di Qing was somewhat tempted by what Zhunti said. If he agreed, then the West would truly belong to Di Qing.

Today, all beings in the West, thanks to the deception of Jieyin and Zhunti, have gradually evolved into one, becoming extremely united, almost like a family.

Each and every Western cultivator fought for the West. And Di Qing, because of Zhunti, all chose to believe in Di Qing.

This made it easier for Di Qing to conquer the West. Naturally, Di Qing was tempted by this sudden opportunity to unify the West.

Although compared to the five directions of the primordial world, the West ranks last in both resources and cultivators. Even the far north surpasses the West.

Despite being covered by endless glaciers, the far north hides countless resources beneath them, especially rare mineral veins, which are among the most abundant in the primordial world. Furthermore, beneath the far north glaciers, through the passage of time, a very special resource has formed.

These resources are like the jade gambling stones of later generations, with an outer shell marked by time, sealing away countless precious resources. If you're lucky, you might even find relics from an ancient era.

There are even rumors that cultivators once found innate treasures in the ancient minerals of the West.

Therefore, in terms of resources, the North is by no means inferior to the South. Consequently, in terms of natural endowments, the West is definitely ranked last.

No matter how barren the West may be, it is still one of the five great powers of the primordial world, and it is not an easy thing to dominate a region. Now that an opportunity has presented itself, Di Qing will naturally not let it go.

Di Qing looked deeply at Zhunti and Jieyin, not rushing to agree, but instead asking, "Jieyin, Zhunti... I understand your meaning. However, can you represent all beings in the West in making this choice? You should know that if you truly choose to be loyal to me, there is no possibility of rebellion."

"Rest assured, Buddha Emperor Qing, we brothers are absolutely capable of representing all sentient beings in the West. Moreover, this is a decision we made after careful consideration," Jieyin and Zhunti stated clearly.

They wanted things to get better and better, but the West became impoverished because of the Russian Federation. Therefore, there is a ceiling to Western development.

With the current state of development in the West, it has reached a bottleneck. The West's resources can only support a limited number of cultivators and can only accommodate a limited number of powerful individuals.

If there were more cultivators, the resources in the West would not be enough. In the past, Jieyin and Zhunti would not have minded traveling to various parts of the prehistoric world to plunder resources from different places.

But now, because of Emperor Qing's preaching and teachings, the entire prehistoric world has entered an era of cultivation. There are too many cultivators, the chances of strong individuals being born have increased, and the consumption of resources is terrifying.

At this point, if one tries to plunder resources from other places, they will be intercepted by the cultivators of those places.

Neither Jieyin nor Zhunti wanted to see a major battle fought with others over a few resources.

However, if they choose to ally with Di Qing, the West will become safer by leveraging Di Qing's prestige. The West's bottlenecks will also be easier to overcome. Any resource problems can be solved by relying on Di Qing.

Therefore, from a developmental perspective, choosing to be loyal to Emperor Qing is definitely the best option.

Di Qing understood the meaning of Jieyin and Zhunti, and laughed loudly, "Haha... Alright, then I'll accept the West."

"Thank you, Emperor Qing Buddha. I will immediately summon all the core cultivators of the West, as well as the strongest among the Buddhist and Taoist cultivators. We await Emperor Qing Buddha's creation of the Western Buddhist Clan and the beginning of..." Zhunti became excited and was about to transmit his voice.

"Wait..." Di Qing quickly stopped Zhunti, then said, "This time, after subjugating the West, I will create a new power in a different way. I plan to create a sect based on the Buddhist and Taoist systems!"

"A sect?" Jieyin pondered.

In fact, most of the major powers in the primordial world were based on races. Whether it was the scaled-armored race, the avian race, or the Kunlun Immortal Clan, they all evolved in the form of races.

The only force that seems to have evolved into a sect is the Demonic Cult of the past. In fact, the Demonic Cult of that time was essentially a demonic entity. The fact that a sect evolved from a single race meant that most cultivators still focused their attention on their own race.

Now that Di Qing wants to create a new power, he naturally won't continue to evolve races. Especially since Di Qing already has the Witch Clan, the Kunlun Immortal Clan, and the Five Clans under his command. These are all forces centered around races, which Di Qing finds tedious.

With Zhunti and Jieyin now seeking refuge, Diqing naturally had to make changes.
