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

Wouldn't that benefit the Human Sect, the Chan Sect, the Demon Sect, and the Witch Clan?

It seems that the struggle between the Yuan and Ming dynasties did not involve anything more advanced.

Basically, the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint is the limit.

With this idea in mind, the three major Buddhist leaders began to negotiate and prepare to send talented individuals to Dadu (Beijing) to serve.

Soon, each of the three factions dispatched more than a dozen Great Luo Golden Immortals to appear, with quasi-saint level Buddhas secretly providing support at any time.

From this moment on, the struggle between Buddhism and the Jie Sect escalated.

It started as a small-scale operation and eventually attracted the attention of high-ranking figures.

Upon returning to Wuyi Mountain, Liu Chenxiang immediately sought out his teacher, Yuan Hong.

"teacher……"

After paying his respects to his teacher, Liu Chenxiang recounted the conflict between the Ming and Yuan dynasties.

The appearance of the monks Daoji and Budai is described in particular in great detail.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong smiled slightly and said, "I already know about this matter. On the eve of the 'End of Dharma Tribulation,' all matters will be handled by your Uncle Lin. You can discuss it with him!"

"What?"

Liu Chenxiang was dumbfounded. This involved a Quasi-Saint, and they still needed Martial Aunt Lin Lingsu to make the decision?

However, he immediately showed envy on his face. This was the key to cultivating his Uncle Lin Lingsu, and to pushing him to the position of leader of the "Wuyi Mountain" lineage, or even the entire Jie Sect!

Since the teacher had said so, Liu Chenxiang could only bid farewell to the teacher and go to find his martial uncle Lin Lingsu.

"I am already aware of this matter! You shall convey my decree to summon the Nine Dragons, the Four Saints, and the One-Qi Immortal to serve before the Ming army!"

Lin Lingsu remained calm and composed, giving an order before adding, "Also, go and find Grandmaster Uncles Kong Xuan and Yu Yixian, and have them secretly look after us!"

"Yes, Uncle-Master!"

Liu Chenxiang's heart pounded as she listened. Her junior uncle was really not being polite!

The previous generation of Great Luo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saints could be dispatched at will without any regard for courtesy.

Little did Liu Chenxiang know the magnitude of what Lin Lingsu would accomplish as the future leader of the Xuanmen!

Now that he has received the Dao Lord's approval to let Lin Lingsu lead the army, how could he possibly be afraid?

He just spouts whatever comes to mind, and anyone who's a member of the Jie Sect has to obey his orders!

Because of Lin Lingsu's deployment, soon, disciples from both "Nine Dragons Island" and "Immortal Mountain" emerged from the mountains, and the two quasi-saint experts, Kong Xuan and Yu Yixian, also turned their attention to the Great Yuan territory.

If a quasi-saint level expert were to appear before the Buddhist statue, the two of them would immediately step forward to uphold justice for their sect.

With the intervention of masters from both religions, the essence of the battle has changed from a fight between mortal nations to a contest of magic between immortals, and the Yuan and Ming dynasties are merely a prelude.

As the only two major religions among all religions to go to war, other sects have also focused their attention on this matter.

Other sects, besides watching the battle, also took action.

In particular, the forces of the demonic path were the first to launch the conflict between the Dao and the demonic paths!

In Beiju Luzhou, the battles between the Wu tribe and the Yao tribe became even more frequent.

In the Eastern Continent of Divine Victory, demons roamed freely, and the Human Cult began its purge.

In Xiniu Hezhou, Brahmanism, the One True Religion, and the God Worshipping Society are also annexing one small and medium-sized forces after another.

Fortunately, Chechi Kingdom had nine Great Luo Golden Immortals guarding it, which prevented it from being annexed. However, there have been quite a few battles in Chechi Kingdom recently.

Because the Buddhist sect and the Jie Sect were the first to take action, it triggered a chain reaction, and the entire Earthly Immortal Realm became unstable.

This great calamity is completely different, and other great supernatural beings no longer dare to close their mountain gates and quietly recite the Yellow Court Classic.

If they don't fight for it this time, they may not have enough resources to survive the "end of the Dharma".

Major religions have their own rivalries, smaller powers have their own conflicts, and the struggle for supremacy among mortals has also intensified.

Throughout the entire Immortal Realm, thousands of dynasties and countless kingdoms began to fight.

The location of the war is visible.

These dynasties and kingdoms kept annexing each other, causing the tragic deaths of hundreds of millions of people.

These are all signs of a great calamity, which will begin in the mortal realm and spread to the immortals.

Such a battle situation is appalling.

All the gods and immortals were utterly astonished.

In every dynasty and kingdom, there was the presence of immortals.

This involves huge interests.

When some kingdoms fail, the immortals behind them naturally can't sit still and step forward to change the situation.

The country on the other side naturally has its own backers.

The brutal struggle between the immortals intensified.

On this day, Confucius, a master of human education, found "Mount Kunlun".

Today, Jiang Ziya is the one in charge of the "Kunlun School".

This person, after being reincarnated and reborn, and now being nurtured by a sage, has actually broken through to the quasi-sage realm.

He has only just broken through, his foundation is insufficient, and he has not yet severed his benevolent corpse.

Such cultivation level is basically at the bottom among quasi-saints.

"Confucius has graced Kunlun with his presence; I, a humble Taoist, have failed to greet him properly."

Jiang Ziya welcomed the current head of the Human Sect into the hall with a smile, appearing very friendly.

"Hahaha! I'm so honored to have Fellow Daoist Jiang greet me!"

When one needs a favor, even a top-tier master like Confucius had to become sworn brothers with Jiang Ziya.

Recently, the Human Sect has occupied the land that the Chan Sect withdrew from, becoming the sect with the largest sphere of influence in the Eastern Continent.

Currently, across the entire Eastern Continent, various nations are constantly clashing due to the influence of their backers.

Even factions within the People's Education Bureau frequently clash.

It's difficult for the people to be completely united, since self-interest can influence people's hearts.

Moreover, news of the "end of Dharma" has already spread throughout the world.

Anyone with a cultivation level of Taiyi Golden Immortal or above would know this.

As for the lower-level cultivators, their respective teachers had also spoken to them about the "Cataclysm of the End of Dharma".

What immortal being would simply close their eyes and wait for death?

Who wouldn't want to seize this last chance to plunder resources and seek progress?

At least a Grand Luo Golden Immortal has a better chance of surviving than a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and a Taiyi Golden Immortal has a better chance than a Golden Immortal!

This time it's not an "immeasurable calamity," so even if it's incredibly powerful, there's still a glimmer of hope.

Therefore, the deterrent power of the People's Education Press does not seem to be that strong.

The internal friction within the People's Education Movement has attracted a large influx of other forces.

In the Tang Dynasty, the largest empire in the Eastern Continent, the Human Sect and the Chan Sect originally held more than 80% of the power.

Other Buddhist sects, Zen sects, demons, and other minor sects combined only account for 20%.

Now that the Chan sect has been disbanded, the Ren sect has taken over everything.

It's said outright that the People's Education Press controls 80% of the market, but you need to have the power to do that!

How many years have passed since the Demon Realm, yet within the Tang Empire, the Human Cult can only control half of it.

It was even worse than when they were allied with the Chan Sect.

At least at that time, the two religions were of one mind and could control 80% of the strength, so other parties did not dare to cause trouble.

Now, things are looking up! Within the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism is flourishing once again!

Zen Buddhism attempts to recreate the golden age of the time of Master Xuanzang.

Other smaller forces tacitly accepted the situation and were all looking to take advantage of the chaos, which caused the Chinese government considerable headaches.

Externally, the Wu tribe came knocking, demanding the return of their former territory.

Isn't this funny?

Back then, the Wu tribe ruled the land, and half of the primordial world belonged to them. How could they possibly give it up?

The People's Education Commission naturally wouldn't allow it!

The witch clan also knew that success was impossible; this was just one reason!

Soon, the influence of the Wu tribe spread to a small neighboring country.

And based on this small country, they re-established the Qin Empire.

The Qin state emerged and swept across the six kingdoms.

After years of fighting, they became powerful, especially their brave and fierce army, which shocked the entire Eastern Continent.

When the Qin Empire became the second most powerful empire after the Tang Dynasty, war broke out between the two countries immediately.

The Wu tribe came prepared. In this great battle, Chi You, as the first generation of demon ancestor, commanded a group of demonic cultivators to join the Qin state.

The two sides clashed for the first time at the border. These demonic masters suddenly made their move, showing no regard for decorum or the karmic consequences of killing too many people.

When disaster strikes, if one doesn't plunder resources, there's no way to survive the "end of the Dharma."

Now, by joining the army and leveraging the power of the Witch Clan, these demons have begun to use the souls and flesh of mortals on a large scale to refine demonic weapons, cultivate spells, and improve their cultivation!

For these demonic cultivators, this chaotic era is their favorite.

This is the fastest and best place to cultivate.

The alliance between the Witch Clan and the Demonic Path immediately played a significant role.

The armies of the two countries clashed, and the Qin army advanced with unstoppable momentum!

Upon learning of the Witch Clan's involvement and the Demonic Sect's intervention, the Human Sect naturally could not remain indifferent, and even a figure like the True Man of Nanhua descended to the mortal realm.

However, Master Nanhua was not good at fighting, and the Ancestral Witch Chiyou suddenly appeared and almost killed Master Nanhua.

Fortunately, Master Nanhua was a disciple of a sage and possessed considerable cultivation. In the end, he even sacrificed a benevolent corpse, which bought him time to escape from Chiyou's clutches.

The third-ranking figure in the People's Education Commission is seriously injured and needs to recuperate for some time.

When news of such enormous losses reached the Great Crimson Heaven, the high-ranking officials of the Human Sect were all shocked and enraged.

Grand Master Xuandu has not yet returned to his peak, and Confucius's cultivation is not much stronger than that of True Man Nanhua.

Confucius knew he was no match for Chi You, and his seventy-two disciples were mostly Great Immortals, so they were of no use.

Even the Donghua Emperor, who was reincarnated as Lü Dongbin, failed to reach the peak of his cultivation.

The People's Education Press is currently in an awkward situation.

There are only two late-stage Quasi-Saints, but there are quite a few mid-stage Quasi-Saints, more than thirty in total, but none of them are outstanding.

Compared to the world-renowned Chi You, their combat strength was far inferior.

This time, the Wu tribe only sent one Chi You, and their front line collapsed. If all twelve Ancestral Witches had arrived, wouldn't the Tang Empire have been doomed?

Therefore, in the Great Crimson Heaven, the great masters of the Human Sect, after failing to reach a conclusion, finally thought of their good ally, the Chan Sect.

The number of highly skilled practitioners in the Chan sect is not necessarily greater than that in the Ren sect.

However, there are many top-notch figures among them who are skilled in combat.

The remaining twelve Golden Immortals, along with Yun Zhongzi and even the junior Yang Jian, are all formidable figures capable of rivaling the Ancestral Witches.

Jiang Ziya was a renowned sage.

The Investiture of the Gods was presided over by Jiang Ziya, and the allied forces of the Eastern Continent of the Demon Realm were also led by Jiang Ziya.

Such talents are exactly what the People's Education System urgently needs, which explains why Confucius personally visited Mount Kunlun and had a pleasant conversation with Jiang Ziya.

"Confucius must have come here on some business. Why don't you tell me, fellow Daoist?"

In terms of writing style, Confucius was definitely better than Jiang Ziya. This long-winded talk was even a bit too much for Jiang Ziya, who wanted to hear what Confucius had to say.

"Hahaha! I've come here because I need something from you, fellow Daoist."

Confucius knew that it was about time, so he didn't hide anything and told Jiang Ziya about the war situation between the Tang and Qin dynasties.

"We hope that Fellow Daoist Jiang will come out of seclusion, and then our Great Tang army will be under your command. The immortals of the Human Sect will also be at your disposal."

Confucius set out the conditions.

"this……"

Jiang Ziya cursed Confucius inwardly for being meddlesome!

Originally, their Chan Sect had already broken free from the quagmire, and their main force was in the Demon Realm.

In the Immortal Realm, apart from a few famous Daoist temples that still exist, there are none left elsewhere, so the Chan Sect is naturally not afraid of anyone daring to target them.

Defending some blessed lands and grotto-heavens will not be too much of a burden for the Chan Sect.

Now, that bastard Confucius has actually come here to drag me down with him?

That old man is really malicious!

However, the relationship between the Renjiao and Chanjiao sects was extremely close, and Confucius was the head of the Renjiao sect. For such a person to personally come and invite him was a great honor, so it seemed that refusing would not be an easy thing.

For a moment, the main hall was completely silent.

Confucius looked at Jiang Ziya with anticipation, feeling very nervous, fearing that Jiang Ziya would refuse the matter.

It should be understood that very few people in the Three Realms have experienced the battles between mortals and immortals, both of which are among the most intense and powerful.

It is capable of presiding over two great kalpas, and the Human Sect has not even one.

They can fight one-on-one or in a group, but when it comes to coordinating the efforts of mortals and immortals and ensuring victory, no one is sure of success!

The current chaos within the People's Education Movement in Dongsheng Shenzhou is largely due to the lack of unified command.

"Ah! It is my honor that you have come to me, fellow Daoist!"

At this point, Confucius was delighted, but Jiang Ziya continued, "Currently, all the disciples of my Chan Sect are being transferred to the Demon Realm, the Thirty-Three Heavens, and the Nine Netherworld. In the vast four continents of the Earthly Immortal Realm, only a dozen or so Daoist temples remain. As the supreme leader of the Kunlun Sect, I am here to protect this mountain for my teacher. If I leave, the mountain will be without a pillar of support. What will happen if someone attacks Kunlun Mountain?"

"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are mistaken! Anywhere in the world can be attacked! But it will never be 'Mount Kunlun'! This is the sacred site of the Three Pure Ones! It is the stronghold of the Chan Sect! Who has the audacity to come to Mount Kunlun and cause trouble?"

Confucius laughed heartily, unconcerned.

Not to mention Yuanshi Tianzun, even his own teacher Taishang Laozi and the Tongtian Sect Leader would not let such a person go!

To dare to disturb the peace of the Taoist community is like an old man who's tired of living; he's truly tired of living!

Confucius, however, did not know that when people are on the verge of despair, they don't care whether you are a saint or not!

That Kunlun Mountain is full of treasures!

Who wouldn't be envious?

Who wouldn't want that?

"Fellow Daoist Jiang! How about this? If you are willing to help, our Human Sect is willing to offer a Primordial Spiritual Treasure as a reward. What do you say?"

Confucius believed this was merely Jiang Ziya's tactic of raising the price, so he didn't hide anything and pointed out the agreed-upon reward. (End of Chapter)
