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

The "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" has too many members. Although each faction has its own formation, it is not suitable for such a large-scale battle.

That would disperse the power too much.

Compared to the seamless formations of the People's Education Press, it has obvious disadvantages.

Therefore, in order to unleash the full potential of the formation, experts from all sides need to work together to develop a powerful and universal formation.

In this new formation, at the very least, everyone within the formation must be able to contribute their strength.

Such a formation cannot be accomplished overnight; it requires some time.

This delayed the teaching of humanities education for a considerable period of time.

As for the armies of both sides, they probed each other's strength while the immortals remained still.

A small-scale skirmish.

Basically, there's a small skirmish every three days, and every ten days or so, a large-scale battle is launched.

After the fight, they all dispersed.

As for who won and who lost, it was naturally impossible to determine.

The war between mortals will certainly not end until the immortals on both sides have determined who is superior.

Inside Hulao Pass, Jiang Ziya addressed his generals, "Gentlemen, you all know the current situation! The Tang Dynasty is in turmoil on all sides; this pass must not be lost! If the city falls, the empire will have no chance of recovery!"

"I understand the Grand Marshal's words!"

The generals felt heavy-hearted; everyone knew how great their responsibilities were.

"Sigh! I never expected to get stuck in this quagmire. There are so many masters in the Human Sect, but when it comes to actual combat, I'm a coward!"

Lost in thought, Jiang Ziya's expression remained resolute. He waved his hand and said, "Go and prepare. Have the army reinforce the city walls and stockpile plenty of rolling logs and oil."

The generals received their orders and left the headquarters one by one to begin preparations for any possible attack.

In the Western Paradise, the look of suffering on Amitabha Buddha's face deepened even further.

Cundi Buddha Mother's complexion was also not very good.

The Southern Continent suffered a crushing defeat, and the golden body of Vairocana Buddha collapsed, with only one relic escaping.

This person is also unlucky; he was beaten to a pulp twice by three different people.

The only silver lining is that the Great Sun Buddha hasn't been killed yet!

This is truly a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

At this moment, the Buddha Mother Cundi said helplessly to Amitabha Buddha beside her, "Senior brother, Jambudvipa has fallen, the war in Aparagodaniya is going badly, and the Investiture of the Gods has also fallen into the hands of the Jie Sect. Currently, our Buddhist sect is in a very unfavorable situation!"

At this point, even a saint with a firm will like Cundi Buddha Mother became somewhat discouraged.

Bodhi Patriarch and Xinghe Zhenren fought a battle to a draw.

He didn't vent his anger at all.

Even with the concentration of Cundi Buddha Mother, she felt like she was about to explode.

Now, he desperately wants to take action himself to change the unfavorable situation of Buddhism.

"Junior brother, this is fate, what can we do?"

Amitabha Buddha's face was filled with sorrow, and he sighed deeply.

"Alas! Now our Buddhist sect has staked everything on the Eastern Continent of Victory. Hopefully, the Zen sect can prove itself!"

Cundi Buddha sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it."

Various forces have emerged from my hometown, Xiniu Hezhou.

Each of them is not weak; if the Buddhist sect were to quell them one by one, it would take an unknown amount of time.

Now that we are in the midst of a great calamity, how could Buddhism possibly be suppressing rebellions from within all the time?

Once the matter in Xiniu Hezhou was settled, the other sects had already divided up the other areas, and their strength had greatly increased.

At that time, Buddhism was extremely weak and naturally could not compete with these other sects.

Left with no other choice, the two sages stopped paying much attention to the affairs of Xiniu Hezhou.

Fortunately, the presence of forces such as the God Worshipping Society, the One True Society, and the Brahmanism here can also help Buddhism "protect" Xiniuhezhou.

In the eyes of a sage, all forces that are not sages can only contend for temporary gains.

They simply lack the ability to firmly hold onto their current territory.

No matter how much of Xiniu Hezhou's territory these people occupy, or for how long, as long as the Buddhist sect has free time, they can immediately wipe them out.

However, the sects of saints such as the Human Sect, the Chan Sect, and the Jie Sect are different. Each of them has a profound foundation, and if they were to invade, it would be difficult to drive them out.

This is also why, even when Buddhism was at its weakest, it still actively provoked conflict in the Eastern Continent and the Southern Continent.

Absolutely not. Once the Xuanmen forces have been consolidated, they will have the resources to launch an offensive.

As long as we keep dragging it out until the climax of the great calamity arrives.

At that time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was cut off, and all sides no longer had the will to fight, but instead thought about how to overcome the tribulation.

The Buddhist sect's plan is ruthless and insane!

Just then, as the two were discussing countermeasures, Houtu Niangniang arrived.

"Please, Your Majesty!"

The two Buddhist saints dared not be negligent and came out of the Pure Land to welcome the Goddess Houtu.

This is their hope!

The Wu tribe is developing quite well; it's time to help them ward off calamities for their Buddhist sect.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists."

The situation is tense, with the Qin Empire at the center of the storm. Empress Houtu has no choice but to make a personal trip to see what the two Western Saints think.

Originally, Houtu Niangniang thought of herself as a mere woman.

He didn't have much ambition; he just wanted to follow behind the two Buddhist leaders.

Unexpectedly, as the fighting progressed, the Wu tribe found themselves at the forefront.

Beiju Luzhou is at war with the demon race, while Dongsheng Shenzhou is launching an attack on the Human Sect.

She was uncertain about the situation.

Houtu Niangniang was filled with anxiety every day, fearing that Amitabha Buddha and Zhunti Buddha Mother would release the Wu tribe's pigeons.

The two men, having started the war, fled with the Buddhist monks!

In that case, the Wu tribe would truly face annihilation.

"Hahaha! Your Majesty, my senior brother and I already know why you've come."

After warmly inviting Houtu Niangniang to sit down, Cundi Buddha Mother said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured about this matter. Our Buddhist disciples are continuously sending reinforcements to Dongsheng Shenzhou."

"Fellow Daoists, you should also know the difficulties of my Wu Clan. On my own, we are no match for the Human Sect and the Chan Sect. This matter depends entirely on your help."

"That's what the Goddess Houtu said."

"Your Majesty, our Buddhist sect is currently continuing to draw troops from the Western Continent of the Demon Realm."

Amitabha Buddha also spoke up: "The Western Continent is jointly managed by our two sides. The Wu Clan must know about the mobilization of our Buddhist forces."

"I do know this."

After listening to the words of Amitabha Buddha and Cundi Buddha, and recalling the recent actions of Buddhism, Houtu Niangniang felt much more at ease.

Faced with immense pressure, Houtu Niangniang had no choice but to be extremely careful.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! Our Buddhist sect's support for the Witch Clan is comprehensive! Even though Xiniu Hezhou is still in the midst of chaos, we will soon be dispatching a force to continue aiding Dongsheng Shenzhou!"

The voice of the Cundi Buddha Mother was loud and clear, and as she spoke, she waved her arms powerfully, seemingly giving people a strong sense of trust.

"Thank you both for your help!"

Seeing this, Houtu Niangniang was filled with gratitude.

She forgot that the Witch Clan, who were originally in a subordinate position of cheering and shouting, had unknowingly become the leader of the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" after several major battles.

This transformation was the result of the subtle influence of the two Buddhist saints.

Throughout, the Buddhist sect maintained a humble position, and with a powerful leader like Chi You, the Wu tribe naturally took the lead.

They even launched simultaneous battles on two fronts: Beiju Luzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Houtu Niangniang was still too naive in front of Amitabha Buddha and Cundi Buddha Mother, and never imagined that all of this was a scheme by the two allies.

Just as Houtu Niangniang was being sold out and had to thank the person who betrayed her, Chaos Daojun quietly left "Chaos Boundless Heaven" and came to "Yuyu Heaven" to discuss the next steps with his teacher.

Inside the Biyou Palace, Chaos Daoist bowed and said to Tongtian Jiaozhu, "Master, the Great Tribulation has begun. What are your instructions?"

The Tongtian Sect Master looked at the Chaos Dao Lord, smiled slightly, and then gently shook his head, saying, "Chaos Child, you will still be in full charge of this great calamity, so I can take a break."

"Hehe! Teacher is joking. With the great calamity approaching, the disciples of the sect still need Teacher to take action and fight for their survival."

Chaos Dao Lord chuckled.

"The Investiture of the Gods has already fallen into the hands of our Jie Sect. Liu Bowen, the one who conferred the titles, has performed quite well. Although there have been some setbacks for our disciples this time, they should be safe."

"That's what the Tongtian Sect Leader said."

For him, this "end of the Dharma" was no different from the previous great calamities.

The sage doesn't care about the problem of insufficient spiritual energy at all.

With his good disciple watching over him, the Tongtian Sect Leader could relax and focus on his cultivation. He didn't want his disciple to catch up with him.

It should be noted that even the Tongtian Sect Leader's cultivation level was only at the fifth level of the Hunyuan realm!

Such a level of cultivation was achieved because the Jie Sect performed perfectly during these several great calamities, greatly increasing the sect's fortune. As the sect leader, he received feedback, which is why he improved so quickly.

You should know that right after the Investiture of the Gods, his cultivation level was far behind that of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

This was the best era for the Jie Sect, and the Tongtian Sect Leader was unwilling to waste time on trivial matters.

"In that case, I will do my best. If I am still unable to do so, I will naturally have to ask my teacher for help."

Chaos Daoist shook his head slightly. Over the years, his teacher had become increasingly reluctant to get involved in sect matters.

However, the teacher's skills improved rapidly, which seems to prove that the teacher's choice was correct.

Should I worry less about things in the future?

Perhaps if Yunxiao attains enlightenment, he can be freed from the affairs of the Jie Sect.

Thinking about this, Chaos Dao Lord was somewhat tempted.

If it weren't for the ties of sect destiny, the bonds of kinship, and the numerous disciples and grand-disciples, Chaos Dao Lord would sometimes really want to be a hands-off manager.

The Tongtian Sect Leader said, "Both the people who were appointed to the Investiture of the Gods and the Investiture of the Gods List have appeared in our Jie Sect. This time, we have a great advantage, so you don't need to worry too much."

"What you say is very true, Master! However, neither the Cundi Buddha Mother nor my second senior brother are people who follow the rules. I still need to keep a close eye on the changes in the Earthly Immortal Realm, so as not to be negligent and let them take advantage of the chaos."

Chaos Dao Lord had no confidence in these two.

"Hahaha! You! If Yuanshi hadn't been pushed to the brink, he probably wouldn't have done something so unbecoming of himself."

Upon hearing Chaos Daojun's words, Tongtian Jiaozhu laughed heartily.

The cult leader couldn't help but laugh again at the thought of Yuanshi Tianzun's shameless behavior.

"hey-hey!"

Chaos Daoist smiled obsequiously from the side. Of course, he knew that his teacher was a strong-willed man throughout his life, and that his competition with Yuanshi Tianzun had never stopped.

The embarrassing incidents of Yuanshi Tianzun became the topic of conversation for Tongtian Jiaozhu.

"Maybe I should find an opportunity to teach my second uncle a lesson and make my teacher happy again?"

This thought flashed through the mind of the Chaos Dao Lord.

Having made up his mind, Chaos Daoist nodded and said, "If there is nothing else, Master, this disciple will return now."

Seeing the Tongtian Sect Leader nod, the Chaos Dao Lord stood up, bowed, and walked out of the Biyou Palace, returning to the Chaos Boundless Heaven.

Currently, Chaos Dao Lord dares not leave his Daoist temple.

Even when going out, they were extremely careful, repeatedly checking the vicinity of "Chaos Boundless Heaven" to see if there were any spies from other forces.

Yunxiao's attainment of enlightenment is something that Chaos Dao Lord is currently taking very seriously.

He doesn't trust anyone else to protect him except for those he personally guards.

Even others lack the strength to withstand a sudden attack from the Primordial Beings and Saints.

This is a matter that must be taken seriously, both publicly and privately.

Fortunately, the Chaos Dao Lord's reputation has been so great over the years that no one has dared to take any action.

However, this matter cannot be relaxed for even a moment.

Becoming a saint is the greatest dream of all living beings in the primordial world.

If there's even the slightest chance, there will always be people who aren't afraid of death who will take action.

Now, it's because others have calculated the timing and believe that Fairy Yunxiao cannot become a saint, so they still have a chance to wait and make their plans.

A sudden attack is inevitable; it remains to be seen when these treacherous individuals will choose to strike.

Thinking of this, Chaos Dao Lord smirked.

After returning to the "Boundless Chaos Heaven", he pondered for a long time and once again dispatched the Star River True Man in the Nine Netherworld to "Wuyi Mountain" and "Three Immortal Islands" to guard them.

He constantly monitors these two places of practice that he values ​​most.

As long as the safety of Bixiao, Qiongxiao, Zhao Gongming, and his disciples is guaranteed, then there will be no weaknesses that the enemy can exploit.

Having done all this, Chaos Dao Lord was relieved and closed his eyes to comprehend the Great Dao.

At this moment, in the Demon Realm, at the "Ancestral Demon Palace," the other experts of the Chan Sect finally arrived at Guang Chengzi's place.

"We greet our eldest senior brother and our senior brother Xuandu!"

Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, Huanglong Zhenren, Lingbao Dafashi, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, Daoxing Tianzun, Yuding Zhenren, and Chijingzi all gathered here.

Today, of the once glorious Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, only these eight remain.

Moreover, everyone's circumstances are different.

The one with the highest cultivation level is Jade Cauldron Immortal. He has never entered the Tribulation stage and is currently a great master in the late Quasi-Saint stage.

As for the Pure Void Moral True Lord, the Daoist Celestial Venerable, and the Grand Master Lingbao, they are all veteran quasi-saints who have severed one of their physical bodies. (End of Chapter)
