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

In recent years, neither the Jie Sect nor the army of the Ming Empire has chosen to launch an attack and engage in a decisive battle with the three Western religions.

Currently, they occupy a large enough territory.

It needs to be digested slowly.

Whether it was governing mortals or suppressing Buddhist disciples who were secretly resisting, it consumed a great deal of power and time for the Jie Sect and the Daming army.

Meanwhile, operations to clear out criminals in the South China Sea and the West China Sea are also underway.

The two seas are vast and boundless, and there are countless races in them, even more than in the four continents.

There are quite a few people here who are devoted to following the Dragon Clan. In order to ensure the safety of the shipping route, the islands between the two seas have been occupied by the Jie Sect.

They maintain the safety of the flight routes.

The spoils of war were transported by sea from Xiniuhezhou back to Nanzhanbuzhou, while the Ming army, along with the immortal cultivators from other parties who had come to join them, set off from Nanzhanbuzhou and continued their journey by sea into Xiniuhezhou.

Ensure that the army is large enough to suppress any unrest.

On this day, the Dragon Palace of the East Sea was incredibly lively.

The top leaders of the "Witch Buddha Demon Alliance" have all gathered here to prepare for a supreme meeting of the alliance.

Over the years, the situation in Dongsheng Shenzhou has stabilized.

With the help of Zen and Tantric Buddhism, the people of Dongsheng Shenzhou quickly accepted reality, tacitly accepted the rule of the Qin Empire, and also recognized the teachings of Buddhism.

After all, Buddhism is powerful and adept at bewitching people.

Having listened to the teachings of Buddhism and countless scriptures, I realized that this stuff is far superior to that of Taoism.

At least they accumulate good karma in this life, so they can enjoy wealth and honor in the next life, and even become Buddhas.

Such temptation is simply irresistible to ordinary people!

Therefore, the current situation in Dongsheng Shenzhou is much more stable than that in Xiniu Hezhou.

Having plundered countless resources in the Eastern Continent, the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" has greatly increased in strength. Although it is impossible to return to its pre-war state, it has greatly recovered its vitality.

Once the alliance stabilized, it was impossible to simply stand by and watch the Jie Sect continue to increase its strength.

Thus, this secret meeting took place.

Deep in the East China Sea, within a radius of ten thousand miles of the Crystal Palace, all aquatic creatures have long been cleared out to ensure that the secret will not be leaked.

And the Witch Clan, the Buddhist Clan, the Asura Cult, the Demonic Path, the Immortal Path, the Dragon Clan—almost all those with great supernatural powers gathered here.

Such a powerful force is truly earth-shattering.

Everyone concealed their auras and gathered together with the experts of the Dragon Clan.

"The dragon race is indeed full of experts; it's truly enviable!"

Chi You immediately expressed goodwill towards the dragon race.

"Fellow Daoist Chi You, there's no need for such politeness. Over the years, my Dragon Clan has suffered heavy losses and is no longer as glorious as it once was!"

The Azure Dragon, who lived in the same era as the Ancestral Dragon, smiled slightly, but his smile carried a hint of bitterness.

Today, the West Sea and the South Sea have been lost, and the North Sea has also been abandoned.

The entire dragon race has gathered in the East Sea; this is all their strength.

It can be said that the Dragon Clan has placed all their bets on the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance".

Fortunately, good news has also emerged in recent years: Demon Ancestor Rahu has escaped his predicament and officially joined the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance," becoming one of the four major powers.

This made the dragon race much more at ease.

After all, in terms of the number of high-end combatants, their alliance was already as disorganized as the Xuanmen sect.

"Fellow Daoist Canglong, do not worry! Our alliance is now extremely powerful, and the people's hearts are with us. With the power of the four realms of the primordial world, our chances of victory against the three sects of the Xuanmen are extremely high!"

Chi You comforted him.

Upon hearing this, Canglong seemed to regain his composure, nodded, and said, "In this world of chaos, only our alliance has the ability to fight against the brutal Jie Sect. Fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry. Having taken this step, my Dragon Clan will naturally go all out."

"Fellow Daoist Canglong is absolutely right!"

"One of the top ten in the Crystal Palace," the Sandalwood Merit Buddha complimented with a smile.

Within his Buddhist community, there is also the power of the dragon race, and even a rebel like the Heavenly Dragon King has emerged. But now, everyone is still in the same boat, so naturally we must unite as one and cooperate fully.

Those past conflicts can now be laughed off.

"Yes, that makes sense!"

Canglong responded with a smile, intentionally letting bygones be bygones regarding any discord between the two sides.

Today, in the four realms of the primordial world, there stands this great mountain of the Jie Sect.

These people naturally wouldn't have internal strife because of past events.

"Fellow Daoist Canglong's words are excellent!"

Even the Styx Ancestor echoed this sentiment.

At this time, no one mentioned the death of the First Emperor and his relationship with the Styx Ancestor.

After the group of powerful individuals talked for a while, it was almost time.

Chi You and the Azure Dragon nodded to each other.

Finally, it was Chi You, the leader of the alliance, who stood up and said, "Fellow Daoists, today our 'Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance' is holding a grand banquet for guests at the East Sea Dragon Palace. There is something we want to announce to the world."

"Alliance Leader, please speak freely; we will naturally obey!"

"Yes! Lord Chi You, please speak!"

……

This time, besides those who joined the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" and went down a dark path, there were also some cultivators from various factions who had not yet joined and came to take a look.

The situation in the wilderness is becoming increasingly clear.

These powerful beings, including Grand Luo Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals, were also invited to the "Crystal Palace" to see if the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" could actually succeed.

Today, the Xuanmen sect has collapsed.

The Renjiao and Chanjiao schools are completely finished.

The Jie Sect members were extremely arrogant and refused to accept any opportunists. The remaining forces were the Demon Sect and the Western Kunlun Sect.

Needless to say, Xi Kunlun only wanted to live his own quiet life and had no intention of participating in the struggle for supremacy in the prehistoric world. Even when Chi You personally came to persuade him, he was turned away and returned in a sorry state.

The Demon Cult was suppressed by the Witch Clan in Beiju Luzhou, and by no means could it be considered a force capable of achieving anything.

This was not something the wandering immortals were considering.

Taking everything into consideration, the only remaining option in the entire Primordial World is the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance".

If they could, they would choose to join them.

If that doesn't work, the only option is to go into seclusion and hope to survive the "end of the Dharma".

It was against this backdrop that a group of people echoed Chi You's words, but most of them were flattery and sycophancy, with little sincerity.

Chi You didn't care about these opportunists' thoughts, nor did he value them much. It was just that the alliance had suffered some heavy losses recently, and he wanted more cannon fodder to reduce the damage to the main force.

"Alright! Thank you all for thinking so highly of the 'Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance.' This time, on behalf of the alliance, I'd like to get down to business!"

Chi You waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, before speaking.

"As everyone knows, throughout the entire Primordial World, across the Four Realms and Six Paths, countless races, numerous forces, and rogue cultivators, all have suffered greatly from the bullying of the Xuanmen, especially the Jie Sect among the three Xuanmen sects!"

"The Jie Sect has occupied most of the prehistoric lands, yet they still refuse to stop, continuing to oppress other races. The Chaos Dao Lord, in particular, is vicious, having murdered many promising high-level cultivators in the prehistoric world. These are all examples of the Jie Sect eliminating dissidents!"

"In the future, the 'Cataclysm of the End of Dharma' will arrive, and the spiritual energy in the four realms of the primordial world will become increasingly scarce. Let alone becoming an immortal, even cultivating to the realm of returning to the void and merging with the Dao will not provide sufficient spiritual energy."

"The Jie Sect, in order to help its disciples overcome their tribulations, began to kill indiscriminately and seize blessed lands and grotto-heavens from all sides. This is an act that completely sacrifices billions of cultivators in the prehistoric world to protect their own Jie Sect!"

"The Jie Sect is so selfish and utterly devoid of compassion; they are truly the most terrifying of demons!"

"Today, on behalf of the 'Witch Buddha Demon Alliance,' I am convening this Primordial Immortal Assembly to promulgate a benefit for the alliance: once you join the alliance, no outsider will be tolerated from committing any further offenses."

"A chaotic era is approaching, and the great calamity is about to reach its climax. In order to protect ourselves in this chaotic world, I, Chi You, sincerely invite all cultivators of the Dao to join my alliance and fight together against the unjust Jie Sect!"

Finally, Chi You loudly proclaimed his purpose, demonstrating his unwavering determination to everyone.

After these words were spoken, the cultivators from all sides of the Crystal Palace were excited. Chi You's words resonated with them.

In recent years, the Jie Sect has been incredibly powerful.

Not limited to the Southern Continent, the Thirty-Three Heavens, the Nine Netherworld, or the Southern Continent of the Demon Realm, they were even superior in various parts of the prehistoric world. All forces felt inferior to the Jie Sect members.

This situation has persisted for a long time, and cultivators from all sides harbor resentment towards the Jie Sect.

Especially when faced with the pressure of the "end of Dharma" calamity, without blessed lands and grottoes, who, apart from those with great supernatural powers, dares to guarantee that they can survive this calamity?

Not a single word Chi You spoke was false.

The spiritual energy in the four realms of the primordial world has become extremely low.

It even affected the cultivation of immortals.

Otherwise, in these major battles, cultivators from various sects would not have appeared on the battlefield at the stages of Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness or Returning to Emptiness and Merging with the Dao.

It should be noted that in past wars, such people were not even considered cannon fodder.

This situation is caused by two reasons.

One reason is that in the various wars, all sides suffered heavy losses, leading to a shortage of supplies.

Secondly, the spiritual energy in the primordial world is scarce, making cultivation a hundred times more difficult than before, thus slowing down the growth of cultivators.

Currently, the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" and the Jie Sect have the greatest influence; it's time to place your bets.

The "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" has a large number of members, and also includes four supreme beings: Amitabha Buddha, Cundi Buddha Mother, Houtu Niangniang, and Demon Ancestor Rahu.

The Jie Sect was equally formidable, boasting a group of powerful cultivators renowned throughout the four realms, and backed by two supreme beings, the Tongtian Sect Master and the Chaos Dao Lord.

Taking all factors into account, the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" is still powerful on the surface.

At this point, some people had already begun to express their intention to join the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance." It was unclear whether these people were sincere or were planted by Chi You and his group beforehand.

"Such a good thing, Lord Chi You! I'm willing to join the 'Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance'!"

"Yes! Thank you, Alliance, for giving us the opportunity to survive the 'End of Dharma'!"

"Yes, it's a blessing for us to be able to join the league."

"We must join the alliance and fight the Jie Sect to the death!"

"For the sake of my path, for the sake of my life, even if the Tongtian Sect Master or the Chaos Dao Lord came, I would still fight my way out and restore order to the world!"

……

At this moment, everyone began to express their opinions and chose to join the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance".

This brought smiles to the faces of the dozens of powerful figures present in the alliance; it was a good start!

With so many cannon fodder arriving, at least the main force can suffer fewer casualties.

Despite winning every battle, the sheer scale of their losses still caused them considerable anxiety.

It should be noted that many of the dead were their disciples, students, and grand-disciples; these powerful individuals could hardly bear it.

However, not all those present were bewitched by Chi You. Many were simply there to watch the spectacle, each with their own ulterior motives, and they wouldn't risk their lives for anyone else.

These people are extremely determined and remain unmoved.

They were just out to check out the current situation and have a big meal at the Crystal Palace.

After all, the lives of the wandering immortals haven't been easy these past few years; they've been eating whatever they can get their hands on.

As for some smaller forces, they need to have detailed discussions with the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" before joining.

Their representatives are not qualified to represent the entire sect or cult.

Now, people are gradually joining the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance," a situation that has completely satisfied Chi You, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Sandalwood Merit Buddha, Xing Tian, ​​Jiu Feng, Styx Ancestor, Azure Dragon, and others.

"Everyone, those who wish to stay will be accommodated in a special palace by our alliance."

"Those who wish to leave are welcome to return if they change their minds later; our alliance will welcome them all."

Chi You had rarely spoken so politely in his entire life.

This powerful figure's smile became so stiff it was almost painful to look at him, all in an attempt to win over some cannon fodder.

Seeing this, the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit smiled slightly and instructed the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to help in the next period.

This matter is extremely simple for Buddhists!

Their Buddhist sect is all about bewitching people.

Those bald men wandered around the banquet, constantly talking with cultivators from all sides.

It made everyone feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

People's goodwill towards Buddhism has also increased.

Even if some people have never joined the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance", they still have some support for the alliance's "good deeds" in their hearts.

After all, this was an act of resistance against the hegemony of the Jie Sect by hundreds of millions of cultivators throughout the entire prehistoric world!

Such a righteous act was especially admired and supported by those lower-ranking immortals.

They were a group of people who were subjected to great oppression. They had neither magical treasures nor sacred mountains, and their lives were very difficult.

These people naturally harbored hatred towards those disciples of the sage who ate with grease on their faces.

This time, the Dragon Clan went to great lengths and spent a huge amount of money to hold this grand event.

From time to time, clam maidens would bring out various seafood delicacies for the guests to enjoy.

The various immortal wines and elixirs never stopped, which greatly satisfied many Taiyi Golden Immortals and Daluo Golden Immortals.

Especially the great sea races that resisted the dragons' rule; many celestial-level monsters were killed and turned into delicacies for everyone to enjoy. (End of Chapter)
