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

"Uncle-Master, let's go downstairs and talk!"

Liu Chenxiang smiled slightly and turned to look at the number one expert of this trip, Master Ziyang.

"Yes! Chenxiang will make the arrangements!"

Master Ziyang smiled. Although he was a disciple of Luo Xuan, his teacher was of the same generation as Lord Hun Dun.

Master Ziyang was of the same generation as Yuan Hong, both being third-generation disciples.

However, Master Ziyang, at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, is not comparable to a Quasi-Saint like Yuan Hong.

Therefore, Master Ziyang was very polite to Liu Chenxiang.

The first batch of Jiejiao immortals gathered by the Wuyishan lineage landed on the reed hut.

With Liu Bowen's introduction, Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and others ascended the reed pavilion to pay homage to the immortals.

Master Ziyang, Liu Chenxiang, and others treated Zhu Yuanzhang with great courtesy, showing none of the haughty attitude of immortals.

"Truly a master of immortality!"

After a long conversation, Zhu Yuanzhang's impression of the immortals improved greatly. He found the immortals of the "Wuyi Mountain" lineage to be easygoing, polite, and very friendly.

He was lucky. You see, before the "Cataclysm of the End of Dharma," the immortals of the Jie Sect were high above and had no time to meet with a mere emperor in the mortal world.

The fact that a disciple of the sect who had reached the stage of refining emptiness and merging with the Dao was given ample face by the emperor of the mortal realm.

Times have changed. Mencius, the supreme leader of the Jie Sect, issued a decree redefining the relationship between the disciples of the Jie Sect and the dynasties of the human world.

That's why Master Ziyang and Liu Chenxiang were so polite this time.

"Your Majesty is a king, and we should descend the mountain to help him quell the barbarians."

Finally, Master Ziyang said this.

Just as the immortals of the Jie Sect were discussing with Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bowen about meeting a master of the "Esoteric Sect" the next day.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Brahmanical and Demonic sects were not interested in fighting, Shen Gongbao and his men once again brought Chechi Kingdom under their control.

The group of powerful immortals showed no joy of victory; instead, they all sighed and lamented, and felt insecure.

A Grand Luo Golden Immortal said to Shen Gongbao, "Fellow Daoist Shen, you say a great calamity is imminent. What should we do?"

"yes!"

"Who could have imagined that such a calamity of the Dharma's end would occur!"

"Heaven is determined to destroy us rogue cultivators!"

One by one, the Great Immortals began to complain incessantly.

Shen Gongbao, seated at the head of the table, spoke without ceremony: "What are you worried about? You are all close to me, my friends. Aren't you better than those rogue cultivators with no one to rely on? Even if we take a step back, the Heavenly Court still needs to function. My East Sea Water Dividing General's Mansion is still here. If you follow me, surely the people of my Heavenly Court won't all perish?"

Shen Gongbao sneered inwardly, never expecting this calamity to be so perilous.

However, this is also a good thing for him.

This is a perfect opportunity to strengthen our power during a great calamity!

Apart from Tiger Power Immortal and Deer Power Immortal, everyone present was a collaborator. They were willing to join him, but they also wanted a certain degree of freedom.

Where in the world can you find such a good thing?

"Thank you for your protection, Fellow Daoist Shen!"

The group was overjoyed; this was exactly the result they wanted.

They were all ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals, and their own Daoist temples simply couldn't support their cultivation.

People are struggling to make ends meet, and with the impending catastrophe, life will likely become even more difficult.

"Alright! You all stay here and maintain order in Chechi Kingdom! I'm going to take a trip into the Chaos Realm to pay my respects to the Dao Lord and seek some guidance!"

Finally, Shen Gongbao said this.

"Good! Good! Good! Fellow Daoist Shen, go quickly! With the help of a few of us here in Chechi Kingdom, Tiger Power Immortal and Deer Power Immortal will surely be safe!"

A group of Great Luo Golden Immortals were overjoyed, but also secretly envious, thinking that only someone like Fellow Daoist Shen was qualified to pay homage to the Dao Lord!

Even Tiger Power Immortal and Deer Power Immortal looked on with envy.

At most, the two of them would only be able to meet Daojun's disciples.

Even seeing a disciple of the Dao Lord is a once-in-a-millennium event.

This shows how strict the class divisions have been since the beginning of time.

After Shen Gongbao finished packing and arranging the follow-up matters in Chechi Kingdom, he went up to the Thirty-Three Heavens to prepare for entering Chaos.

Shen Gongbao possessed the peak realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and was protected by the "Shangqing Immortal Technique" and the "Yuqing Immortal Technique." Although flying through the chaos was dangerous, he had been to the "Boundless Chaos Heaven" before, and despite the arduous journey, he still managed to proceed in the correct direction...

In the "Boundless Chaos Heaven", Chaos Dao Lord frowned slightly. As soon as Shen Gongbao entered the Chaos, he already knew his purpose.

"Senior brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing Chaos Daoist frown, Fairy Yunxiao couldn't help but ask.

Chaos Dao Lord nodded slightly and smiled, "It's nothing serious. Shen Gongbao came to us seeking comfort because of the 'Cataclysm of the End of Dharma'."

"Oh? He's coming?"

Fairy Yunxiao was slightly taken aback. She had met Shen Gongbao a few times before; he was a very shrewd and worldly person.

"A few years ago, I issued a decree ordering him to handle some minor matters..."

Then he recounted what had happened back then to Fairy Yunxiao.

"So that's how it is!"

Only then did Fairy Yunxiao realize that so many things had happened in the mortal realm. In recent years, she had focused her main energy on refining the "Primordial Purple Qi" and had not paid much attention to the outside world.

Especially such a small matter as Chechi Kingdom.

Immediately, Chaos Daoist transmitted his voice to his disciple Sun Wukong.

Soon, Sun Wukong flew from his Daoist temple in the "Boundless Chaos Heaven" and paid his respects to the Chaos Dao Lord and the Cloud Fairy.

Chaos Daoist had him sit on a futon beside him, and then Sun Wukong said, "Master, did you summon me here because you have something to tell me?"

Chaos Daoist nodded and said, "Shen Gongbao will visit the 'Boundless Chaos Heaven' one year from now. You will receive him on my behalf."

Sun Wukong was overjoyed, for Shen Gongbao was his good elder brother, so he smiled and said, "Alright! This disciple will certainly treat you well!"

"Tell him that the Jie Sect knows of his contributions and will not abandon him in the future. As for other matters concerning others, do not say more."

Chaos Dao Lord calmly instructed that Shen Gongbao alone could be saved, but as for the others, it was up to fate and their own destiny...

A great calamity descended from the heavens. The vast Jie Sect had more than ten million disciples. Even if he were a Hunyuan Wuji Da Luo Jinxian, he would not have the ability to save them all.

When the great calamity struck, it was mostly the immortals who saved themselves.

Only by striving for self-improvement and seizing every opportunity in times of crisis can we hope to overcome adversity.

Being able to make an exception for Shen Gongbao, regardless of the circumstances, and save his life, is already a great blessing bestowed upon him by the Chaos Dao Lord.

Sun Wukong was overjoyed and quickly thanked his elder brother on his behalf, saying, "By the way, teacher, with the re-establishment of the Investiture of the Gods, do you think it's appropriate for Shen Gongbao to be on the list, or not?"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Wukong went all out for Shen Gongbao, asking about Shen Gongbao's future directly.

"You monkey!"

Chaos Daoist chuckled, "The calamity of the end times is about to begin, and immortals, Buddhas, demons, gods, monsters, witches, and humans are all caught in it. The disciples of my great Xuanmen sect still have a glimmer of hope. If they cannot overcome this calamity, they may still be able to ascend to godhood."

"Shen Gongbao's aptitude is average. It will be difficult for him to break through to the Quasi-Saint level in this great calamity. If possible, it would be more appropriate to confer him the title of God and wait for an opportunity to break through his cultivation level in the future."

"Disciple understands."

Sun Wukong looked somewhat gloomy, knowing that his elder brother would not be able to escape within the next two or three great eons. However, he quickly perked up again, at least Shen Gongbao's life was saved.

As long as people are alive, there is hope for the future!

"Teacher, when did this massacre begin?"

Sun Wukong asked again.

He wouldn't normally care about these things, but if he were to encounter a deadly threat, he would naturally wield his mighty cudgel and fight the other party to the death!

He asked many questions this time, but they were for Shen Gongbao's sake, hoping that his sworn brother could protect himself during the great calamity.

Chaos Dao Lord glanced at Sun Wukong, his eyes filled with profound meaning. How could he not know what the little monkey was thinking?

Shen Gongbao is quite a talent, and there will be a time when we need him in the future. So Chaos Daoist said with a smile: "This great calamity involves all the immortals and gods. The main reason is that the previous batch of 365 Zhou Tian Zheng Shen escaped the calamity, and there was no one to take charge. That's why we conferred gods again to replenish the manpower of the Heavenly Court."

"This great calamity involves the change of humanity and the transformation of dynasties. In the future, a new human emperor is expected to be born. No matter which family it is, if they assist the monarch and unify the Earthly Immortal Realm, they will have the hope of becoming the number one among all religions and obtaining the fortune of the four realms of the primordial world."

Sun Wukong was startled, not expecting that it involved the birth of a human emperor. Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, no human emperor had been born for many years. Could it be that things have turned around and it is time for the human race to prosper again?

After pondering for a moment, Sun Wukong asked again, "Master, since this is a struggle within the Earthly Immortal Realm, why are the other three realms involved?"

"With the birth of the Human Emperor, he naturally commands the four realms of Heaven, Earth, Humanity, and Demons; otherwise, how can he be considered the Human Emperor?"

Chaos Dao Lord sneered repeatedly.

"How...how dare you? When my three senior brothers, Fuxi, Shennong, and Xuanyuan, attained enlightenment, they didn't command the Three Realms. What right does the new Human Emperor have?"

Sun Wukong shuddered in fright.

In this world, even a sage cannot unilaterally decide the fate of the world, yet a mere human emperor dares to do so.

"Hehe... Ambition grows step by step; who can predict the future?"

Chaos Dao Lord's expression was playful. Even Haotian, the ruler of the Three Realms, had been sidelined by the sages. It was naturally impossible for a human emperor to overturn the heavens.

However, when the Emperor was enraged, the world changed color.

Severing the dragon veins of heaven and earth, cutting off the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and annihilating the extraordinary—this is the origin of the "Cataclysm of the End of Dharma." As for the occurrence of such a thing, it is beneficial to the Heavenly Dao, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and even all the saints.

Naturally, no one stopped it.

Despite their apparent anxiety and concern for their disciples, these sages had already calculated and weighed the pros and cons, ultimately gaining more than they gained.

The foundation of the Sage Sect is unlikely to be lost in the "Cataclysm of the End of Dharma". After the great calamity, the four realms will be empty, spiritual energy will be regenerated, and the cultivation environment will be even better. Taking advantage of the future opportunities, the major sects will naturally enhance their strength.

Sun Wukong had no idea about the scheme behind it all. He just felt dumbfounded and couldn't believe that a mere human emperor, who hadn't even been born yet, dared to plot against the world.

Is this person crazy?

Chaos Dao Lord ignored all of this, dismissed Sun Wukong, and once again went into seclusion with Fairy Yunxiao to cultivate.

Whatever the future holds, it will not affect the development of the "Wuyishan" and "Sanxiandao" lineage. The next step is to deal with the coming calamity.

Liu Bowen, the man destined to face calamity, has already been brought under my command, giving me a significant advantage in the future.

By sending more people from other sects to face the calamity, the Jie Sect will naturally be able to protect more people in the future.

These matters have been entrusted to the powerful masters below. With so many experts in the Jie Sect, they will know how to proceed.

Chaos Daojun naturally didn't want to see someone like Shen Gongbao. He said so much to ask Sun Wukong to relay the message and appease Shen Gongbao.

Meanwhile, in the Southern Continent, the Yuan Dynasty's main camp on the north bank of the Yangtze River immediately discovered that members of the Jie Sect had emerged from the mountains.

Soon, the monks in the army also returned to Dadu and asked the Sakya Lama Chana Dorje to aid their army at the front.

Chana Dorje was no ordinary Tantric master; he was Phagpa's junior brother and also an outstanding successor of the Sakya school, possessing profound knowledge of Buddhist teachings.

Chana Dorje's cultivation level was not low; he was a master at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

When the Living Buddha heard that the Jie Sect had begun to aid the Ming Dynasty, he was shocked. What was bound to happen had finally arrived.

Chana Dorjee dared not delay and quickly led a group of monks from Sakya Monastery to the front line.

As for masters like Phagpa and Sakya Trizin, they remained unmoved. The Jie Sect was the vanguard, and such strength was naturally not worth the full effort of the Sakya sect.

The next morning, as the sun rose, the melodious sounds of war drums and horns resounded.

"Fellow disciples, the time has come. It is time for us to have a battle with the Sakya sect. This mortal world is not a place for us to linger."

Master Ziyang rose from the reed hut and said calmly.

"good!"

The others accepted the order and rose to their feet, each using the "Shangqing Immortal Technique" to condense a cloud of auspiciousness that floated above the Yangtze River.

Seeing the eagerness of the Jie Sect immortals, Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief. His million-strong army had been locked in a standoff on the riverbank, with the navy daring not to cross the river. The daily losses were enormous, and he was starting to feel the strain.

Now that's good, as long as the immortals of Wuyi Mountain drive away those hateful foreign monks, the Yuan Dynasty navy will be no match for them and will surely be defeated!

"The Jie Sect has come out! Let's go and see what supernatural powers they have!"

Chana Dorje Rinpoche snorted coldly and flew out with his group of monks.

Esoteric Buddhism rarely clashes with the three major schools of Taoism. Even when they do, it's usually a battle between their lower-ranking members. In previous national wars, the Sakya school of Esoteric Buddhism had the upper hand, so naturally they had no fear of the immortals of Wuyi Mountain.

Instead, they were eager to try and show the Jie Sect what they were capable of!

"What is the name of the Tibetan monk opposite? Where does he come from?"

Seeing the Tibetan monks facing off against them, Liu Chenxiang took the initiative and flew out first, one hand on his hip and the other pointing at the Living Buddha Chana Dorje.

Liu Chenxiang was as ruthless as could be!

He was originally a lawless little devil who didn't even put Yang Jian, the Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole, in his eyes. How could he possibly be afraid of a mere Tibetan monk?

"Hey! This kid..."

Seeing this, Master Ziyang was startled. He never expected that this young man would be so out of control, acting on his own initiative to charge out. (End of Chapter)
