Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

The Primordial Saint instantly understood the cause and effect with a thought, and he hated the Styx River to the bone!

All the subtle actions of the Asura sect were deduced by Cundi Buddha Mother.

This enraged even the sage, who wished he could wipe out the entire Asura race with a single slap.

"Calm down! Calm down!"

Amitabha Buddha smiled and said, "The Buddha of Sandalwood Merit already has a solution. Our Chan and Tantric schools are developing well, the foundation of Buddhism is still intact, and there is still great hope for the future."

"Alas! I hope so! I wonder when the reincarnation of Shakyamuni Buddha will awaken."

At this point, Cundi Buddha Mother began to miss the days when Shakyamuni Buddha was in power.

That era was a golden age for Buddhism.

Even when facing Chaos Dao Lord, the Buddhist sect still held a dominant position and launched several attacks to besiege and kill him.

Now things are different. The Buddhist sect can't even compete with the Jie Sect, let alone the Human Sect. The Chan Sect alliance is also struggling to keep up.

In terms of conventional forces, they have even been attacked by second-rate forces such as the "God Worshipping Society" and the "One True Church".

How could this not make Cundi Buddha Mother miss Shakyamuni Buddha?

"It is difficult to recover from the great eon of Shakyamuni Buddha; perhaps he can return in the next great eon."

After some divination, Amitabha Buddha frowned, finding no result.

It seems that the next great calamity will be extraordinary. With his cultivation level, he was still unable to predict the future situation at the end of the "decline of the Tao and rise of the demons" calamity, which made him quite surprised!

It should be noted that in previous great eons, such as the end of the Investiture of the Gods era, the sages knew long ago that Buddhism would flourish in the future.

But now the secrets of heaven are not revealed, and everything is in a state of chaos. How can this not make people feel uneasy?

"Could the great calamity to come be even more terrifying than the decline of Tao and the rise of Demons?"

Even the Cundi Buddha Mother was somewhat shocked.

At this moment, he had no time to be angry because of the Styx Ancestor!

The significance of the Great Kalpa is extremely important to all major religions, as it is one of the ways for saints to increase their spiritual attainment.

Even if a sect becomes the protagonist of heaven and earth, and commands the world, that sect's fortune will be at its peak.

Correspondingly, the sages of the corresponding schools of thought experience relatively faster growth in their spiritual cultivation.

"Let's keep this matter quiet for now and pretend we know nothing about it."

In the end, Amitabha Buddha downplayed the matter. He was unwilling to say more about the great eons to come, fearing that if the Three Sages of Xuanmen and others found out, endless variables would arise.

At the very moment the Brahmanism was founded, the Great Emperor of the North Pole in the Heavenly Realm also learned of this news.

Currently, the main body is in seclusion, and the overall situation of the four realms is being personally overseen by the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven.

"Interesting! In the next great eon, the end of the Dharma, the strength of Buddhism will be further weakened, and the future will be the time for the second internal strife within the Xuanmen."

While others may not know what the next great calamity will be, the Chaos Dao Lord already knows the changes to come.

The three clones naturally knew this as well.

All the arrangements have been completed. Now, it is necessary to discuss with Mencius and persuade him to change the current relationship between the Jie Sect and the secular dynasties.

In the past, the dynasty was subordinate to the Jie Sect.

Kings and emperors need to be appointed by the Jie Sect, as their power is divinely ordained!

The future will be different. The power of the immortal path will be difficult to manifest in the secular world, and the power of the royal family will develop like never before, thus truly seizing secular power.

This is a huge change.

This is how the upheaval in Chechi State came about.

If the stability of the two continents of Nanzhanbuzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou within the sphere of influence of the Jie Sect is desired, a new balance must be reached with the royal family and clans, creating a situation where they need each other.

In other words, the demand for people who need to manifest supernatural powers will decrease in the future, while those who are good at talking will become highly sought after.

Why was Shen Gongbao chosen to serve?

His mission to cause trouble in Xiniu Hezhou was a test given to him by the Chaos Dao Lord.

If Shen Gongbao remains as effective as he was during the Investiture of the Gods, then he can naturally be used in the secular affairs.

Of course, the Jie Sect is a large and powerful organization with a wealth of talented people.

For example, among the figures of the Hundred Schools of Thought, at least twenty or so schools of the Jie Sect have been preserved. Although these schools are not as famous as Confucianism or Legalism, they are still enough to stir up trouble in the secular world.

Besides the various schools of thought in ancient China, the Jie Sect also had many outstanding figures in various mountains, islands, rivers, lakes, and Taoist temples within the Xuanmen system.

Those matters are not for the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Central Heaven to worry about. Mencius, the supreme leader of the sect, is capable of handling them properly, so that all the dynasties will not become alienated from the Jie Sect.

As the ruler of the three realms, all he needs to do is ensure that the general direction is correct.

While the Buddhist and Jie sects were in turmoil, many things were also happening in the Renjiao and Chanjiao sects.

First, the Chan Sect shrank its territory in the Eastern Continent. Except for some core areas, such as the "Kunlun Ancestral Court" and other important places in the Xuanmen, it gave up the rest of the territory in accordance with the agreement with the Ren Sect.

As for the Southern Continent, the Chan Sect only had the Song Kingdom; all the others had disappeared.

The main force moved into the Heavenly Court, the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Demon Realm, and some even entered the Nine Netherworld.

It can be said that the Chan Sect will completely lose its voice in the secular world in the future.

Suddenly, the Human Sect acquired such a large territory, and in a short time, all the major sects drew countless people from it. Even the most populous sect, the Shu Mountain Sect, had all its members drawn away.

The Shu Mountain Sect has gone through several hardships, and whenever its strength has grown, it has been suppressed.

This time, having received a decree from the "Great Crimson Heaven," the Shu Mountain Sect was left with no choice but to mobilize even those who had not yet become immortals.

All those mortals who practiced refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Dao were grouped together and entered one dynasty after another, settling in important prefectures and counties of each dynasty as guardian Daoists.

This awkward situation is utterly humiliating.

Unfortunately, the number of people in the Human Sect was already small, and with the heavy losses in the war against the Demon Realm, there were hardly any immortal figures left to send into the mortal world.

Meanwhile, the Demon Cult was still firmly suppressed by the Witch Clan in a part of Beiju Luzhou.

If it weren't for the fact that the Demon Cult had the sage Nuwa as its backer, it would have been wiped out by the Witch Clan long ago.

These two clans are still in Beiju Luzhou, hindering each other. This situation is also a result that the four major sects of Buddhism—the Human Sect, the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect, and Buddhism—are happy to see.

Today, new changes have also taken place in Beiju Luzhou.

The humans here developed and formed small kingdoms.

The birth of these kingdoms infuriated the witch clan and the demon cult, as these were their last homelands. They never expected that humans would compete with them for them!

During the birth of the human kingdom, the witch and demon races also used methods of slaughter.

However, the human race today is no longer what it used to be; it is no longer the race that was once oppressed by the witch and demon races.

In the "Fire Cloud Cave", the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors personally issued the decree of the Human Emperor, summoning human experts from the Three Mountains and Five Peaks.

In just one year, a human army of millions descended upon Beiju Luzhou, including many quasi-saints with great supernatural powers. After negotiations among the three parties, the Wu and Yao tribes had no choice but to acquiesce to the mortals' right to survival.

However, the two races managed to reach a consensus: they would absolutely not allow any human race with great supernatural powers to settle in Beiju Luzhou, and the number of Great Luo Golden Immortals would not exceed thirty!

This is the last line that the witch and demon races have drawn.

The human race, seeing the benefits, agreed to this and maintained the current situation.

The three sects of Xuanmen also secretly contributed to this effort; many of the human army members were disciples of these three sects.

The Human Sect, the Chan Sect, and the Jie Sect all permitted and even encouraged their human disciples to respond to the Human Emperor's call.

This is the situation of the major sects in the Immortal Realm.

Meanwhile, other minor sects gathered in Xiniuhezhou.

On this day, Mosquito Taoist, Pangolin, and Shen Gongbao arrived in Chechi Kingdom.

Tiger Power Immortal, seeing the current situation, everyone was filled with utter hatred!

Their disciples and followers were almost all wiped out.

In the vast Chechi Kingdom, apart from a few disciples and followers who have gone into hiding, all traces of the Shangqing Temple have probably been erased.

"Damn it! These demons and Buddhist sects are too ruthless! We, the Shangqing Temple, have over a million disciples, and now they've all been killed!"

Tiger Power Immortal's chest heaved violently; his rage was so intense he felt like he was about to explode.

The losses are too great!

Among these million disciples, very few were immortals; the majority were ordinary people with magical powers.

There are also many ordinary people who are responsible for the operation of the Shangqing Temple.

I never imagined that the methods of the Buddhist and demonic sects would be so ruthless, even slaughtering mortals.

There was also a system of collective punishment, where the families of these individuals, as well as their loyal followers, were either killed or arrested.

The resentment that lingered over the entire Kingdom of Chechi showed no signs of dissipating even after several years.

"Tsk tsk! Ding Yin, that little devil, actually has some tricks up his sleeve."

Unlike Tiger Power Immortal's grief and indignation, Pangolin sneered repeatedly; he was a figure of the level of a Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation.

The pangolin sensed something and knew what Ding Yin was up to.

"Ding Yin can be considered a rising star in the demonic path. Given time, he may very well catch up with you and me."

Mosquito Taoist's expression was solemn. By observing the changes in Chechi Kingdom, he deduced how profound Ding Yin's Taoist cultivation was.

Seeing the two powerful beings conversing, Shen Gongbao and the others wisely kept quiet and dared not interrupt.

At the same time, the group was secretly shocked, not expecting Ding Yin to be so highly regarded by these two great masters.

This really surprised everyone.

Shen Gongbao and the others knew exactly what kind of person Ding Yin was; wasn't he just a traitor from the "Shushan Sect"?

It should be noted that the founder of the "Shushan Sect," Master Changmei, was only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, the same realm as these people.

Ding Yin only managed to advance to Quasi-Saint by taking advantage of the "decline of the Dao and rise of the Demon"!

This is the subjective evaluation of Ding Yin by the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Now, after hearing the evaluations of the two great masters, it seems that everyone has underestimated Ding Yin.

"Hehe! We've already taken down Ding Yin! We have enough figures at the level of the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation; there's no need to add another one!"

The pangolin sneered, a chilling light flashing in his dark purple eyes.

There was no attempt to conceal the idea of ​​eliminating the threat.

"Fine! But Ding Yin's flesh and blood are mine!"

Mosquito Taoist said with a sinister smile.

"Fine! The physical body is yours! The primordial spirit is mine!"

In the blink of an eye, the two old demons reached an agreement to kill Ding Yin.

"Seniors, what should we do next?"

Seeing that the two important figures had reached an agreement, Shen Gongbao asked a question.

"Let Tiger Power Immortal and Deer Power Immortal cause a ruckus, let everyone know that Shangqing Temple has returned to power, and keep making a scene until Ding Yin shows up. Leave the rest to us!"

The pangolin grinned maliciously.

Shen Gongbao's expression hardened; this was a treacherous scheme to lure the snake out of its hole!

It seems that we still need to use Tiger Power Immortal and Deer Power Immortal as bait for this!

Seeing that all the immortals were looking at him and the Great Immortal Luli, he realized that all the immortals were looking at him.

Tiger Power Immortal gritted his teeth and said decisively, "Alright! We brothers will lead the way! We'll make sure the entire Chechi Kingdom is thrown into turmoil and lure Ding out!"

"That's right! This person has a blood feud with us! This revenge must be taken! We'll pay any price!"

Even the Deer Power Immortal knew it was time to risk his life.

Since the pangolin had set its sights on the two brothers, the Mosquito Taoist would naturally not allow them to back down in the face of battle.

As the saying goes, whether you stick your head out or back, you'll still get stabbed, so you might as well charge in desperately and maybe you can escape death.

"Very good! You two don't need to worry! This is a Blood Coagulation Talisman I crafted. Each of you should have one. Once you find Ding Yin's trail, activate this talisman, and I will be able to use it as a coordinate to draw him there!"

Mosquito Taoist nodded in satisfaction, and with a flick of his hand, two crimson talismans flew toward Tiger Power Immortal and Deer Power Immortal.

These two talismans were refined by him using his bloodline supernatural powers.

"Thank you for your kind words, senior!"

Tiger Power Immortal and Deer Power Immortal exchanged a glance, each seeing the bitterness in the other's eyes.

This important person was afraid that the two of them would run away halfway!

They also left behind this backup plan.

Shen Gongbao frowned slightly upon seeing this. These two were putting pressure on the disciples of the Jie Sect right in front of him, which made him somewhat dissatisfied.

However, neither Tiger Power Immortal nor Deer Power Immortal refused, so he naturally couldn't step forward.

Besides, this really is the best way.

However, since they are all from the same sect, he should support Tiger Power Immortal and Deer Power Immortal.

"Fellow Daoists, you need not worry. If you encounter any danger, you can retreat first. Ensuring your own safety is the most important thing."

Shen Gongbao said calmly.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Shen!"

Tiger Power Immortal and Deer Power Immortal were overjoyed and their spirits lifted. With Shen Gongbao's words, the two could rest assured.

The other Great Luo Golden Immortals standing nearby also breathed a sigh of relief.

They came because of Shen Gongbao's reputation, not because they followed Mosquito Taoist or Pangolin.

At this moment, Shen Gongbao demonstrated his position within the team, which naturally pleased everyone.

As for Mosquito Taoist and Pangolin, they wore smiles, seemingly unperturbed by Shen Gongbao's alteration of their orders. (End of Chapter)
