Primordial Era: The Ten Deadly Formations are Broken, Shen Gongbao Asks Me to Come Out of the Mounta

Looking at the spot where the Buddha of Reception and Light had disappeared, Zhao Gongming snorted, "That's it?"

With this level of skill, you still dare to dream of making a fortune?

It seems the bald monks of Western Buddhism have truly run out of ideas!

But then I thought about it again, and realized that the prosperity of the great religion of the sages was also closely related to the dynasties in the mortal world.

During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, many of the disciples of the Jie Sect held positions in the Yin Shang Dynasty, including generals of various passes and even the Grand Tutor of the court.

Currently, within the Zhou Dynasty of the Earthly Immortal Realm, there are naturally many disciples of the Chan Sect.

Take Jiang Ziya, for example. He has probably reincarnated hundreds of times, and he is still being arranged by the Primordial Heavenly Lord to support the Zhou royal family.

For Western Buddhism to flourish, it naturally requires the cyclical succession of human dynasties and the combination of human fortune to truly prosper in the celestial realm.

Of course, these things have little to do with him, Zhao.

The underworld, the starry sky, the virtual universe, and the earth veins and spiritual veins of the four continents—these alone were enough for the Jie Sect to prosper.

As for the matter of the human dynasty, let those two bald monks in the West worry about it.

Meanwhile, Zhunti Jieyin in the chaotic starry sky felt both frustrated and reasonable about Zhao Gongming's explanation.

If Zhao Gongming were to treat the Buddhist community with kindness and gentleness, it would probably make them uneasy.

This attitude, on the contrary, made them feel at ease.

After thinking for a while, Zhunti said, "Senior brother, since Zhao Gongming doesn't care, we still need to think of a way!"

Otherwise, if the Zhou royal family prospers for a long time, when will our Buddhist sect be able to achieve great prosperity?

"Do we have to wait another great eon?"

Jieyin was naturally aware of what Zhunti had said.

The rise of Buddhism is an inevitable trend that cannot be changed, but when it will truly flourish is a matter of timing.

The human dynasties were as stable as an old dog; no matter how many schemes they had, they could only watch helplessly, unable to devise any plans.

Although the current emperor has lowered his status, from the former emperor to the Son of Heaven.

However, the spirit of humanity is not something easily tainted.

They plotted against Di Xin, making him write a poem in the Nuwa Temple, which infuriated Nuwa on the spot. Even so, they dared not act rashly, thus ruining the eight-hundred-year fortune of the Shang Dynasty.

He could only use the demon-summoning banner in his hand to summon the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb, thus venting his anger in a roundabout way.

If Buddhism were to intervene directly, the fate of humanity would suffer a backlash, and that would be a serious problem.

After careful consideration, Zhunti said, "The one who tied the knot must untie it!"

Since this matter arose because of Yuanshi Tianzun, to resolve it, we will probably have to seek out Yuanshi Tianzun himself!

"This concerns a struggle for the destiny of a great religion; would the Primordial Celestial Venerable agree to it?"

Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti smiled and said, "Senior brother, have you forgotten that during the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, when the two of us took action, Yuanshi Tianzun owed our Western Sect two karmic debts!"

The entry of disciples like Samantabhadra into our Buddhist community can be considered the elimination of one karmic debt, but one karmic debt remains unresolved!

This matter was one that Yuanshi Tianzun could not refuse!

Of course, if they don't agree, the karmic debts of Buddhism aren't so easily evaded.

Upon hearing this, Jieyin's expression shifted, and he immediately smiled and said, "Amitabha, in that case, we might as well go and speak with the Primordial Celestial Venerable!"

After speaking, the two saints immediately headed towards the Taoist temple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

In the Chaos Starry Sky Dojo, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, who was in the process of comprehending the Dao, had already sensed the arrival of the two Western Saints.

After a brief deduction, they immediately understood the purpose of the two saints' visit.

After all, Zhunti and Jieyin have come openly and legitimately to "collect their debt."

For a moment, Yuanshi Tianzun felt helpless and could only think of how to delay the matter.

The karma of a sage is not something to be easily incurred, especially since the other party is also a sage of the Heavenly Dao.

However, the current situation of the Chan Sect...

But it was something he had no choice but to do.

Apart from Yun Zhongzi and Antarctic Immortal, the current direct descendants of the Chan Sect do not even have a single Quasi-Saint.

However, no matter how good these two are, they are not his direct disciples of the Chan Sect.

Moreover, Yuanshi Tianzun also had concerns. The so-called Fude Jinxian (Golden Immortal of Fortune and Virtue) was more like a disciple learning from a master, and they all had a foundation in cultivation. Their identities were somewhat similar to those of Randeng (Burning Lamp).

Ironically, the two he didn't diligently teach have both become Quasi-Saints, while his direct disciples, whom he taught diligently, haven't even produced a single Quasi-Saint.

If this gets out, will Yuanshi Tianzun still have any face left?

Those who are taught diligently are useless, while those who are not taught diligently make rapid progress.

You, Yuanshi Tianzun, either have a problem with your philosophy, or you don't know how to teach your disciples!

As he pondered this, Yuanshi Tianzun watched as Zhunti and Jieyin leisurely entered the Daoist temple. He preemptively asked, "Why have you two come to see me instead of receiving blessings at the temple?"

Zhunti was naturally familiar with this kind of situation and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal!"

I'm just here to remind you, fellow Daoist, that the Zhou royal family has existed for hundreds of thousands of years!

The Three Realms rise and fall, dynasties rise and fall in order—this is the workings of the Heavenly Way. Since the Chan Sect claims to follow the Heavenly Way, why does it do things that violate it?

When Zhunti directly pointed out that he was the person behind the scenes, Yuanshi Tianzun knew that he couldn't fool him and immediately became annoyed.

These two bald monks are really not even pretending anymore!

However, what Zhunti said was absolutely correct.

Some things, if you don't want to be weighed, you can just pretend you don't know and let them pass by lightly.

Everyone shared a tacit understanding.

However, if the truth is revealed, it will be impossible to fool anyone.

Although the human dynasties have remained unchanged for a long time, on the surface, the problems of the Ziwei Emperor and the Gouchen Emperor seem to be bigger, but in reality, it is his own will.

If this matter is truly investigated, the karmic backlash will be immense, and the amount of good fortune swallowed will have to be returned twofold.

Thinking of this, Yuanshi Tianzun's heart tightened.

Ultimately, it's because his own disciples are incompetent. If a capable leader had emerged earlier, he wouldn't have had to struggle so hard.

However, the situation was beyond his control. If he continued to forcefully extend the life of the Zhou royal family, the two people in front of him would probably be the first to object.

He could only laugh it off and say, "Fellow Daoist's concerns are not entirely unreasonable!"

I have no objection to the change of dynasties!

However, this matter still requires the approval of the Ziwei Emperor!

Moreover, the change of dynasties is also related to the workings of Heaven, and even we sages cannot interfere!

What Yuanshi Tianzun said was quite interesting.

The workings of Heaven also follow their own laws. In order to repay the karmic debts of the Western Buddhist sect, I will no longer interfere in the matter of royal succession.

I don't want to, and can't, interfere with your plans.

However, the change of dynasties in the human world also needs to be done in accordance with the natural order, which means it will take some time.

In addition, they also subtly tricked Zhao Gongming.

Given Zhao Gongming's personality, he's prone to flipping tables at the drop of a hat, so how could we have a normal conversation? Even if the two Western Saints were to seek out Zhao Gongming, they would probably be met with a cold shoulder.

Perhaps, they will come into conflict with Buddhism, and in that case, the Zhou royal family might be able to continue its reign for another thousand or eight hundred years.

Zhunti and Jieyin were well aware of Yuanshi Tianzun's ulterior motives, but they were not angry; on the contrary, they felt quite pleased.

Is this the normal way to communicate?

On the surface, everyone is very harmonious, but secretly they are all plotting their own schemes.

Unlike that wicked Zhao Gongming, who completely lacked any divine demeanor, acted unpredictably, and disregarded martial ethics.

If everyone were like him, wouldn't the Three Realms be in complete chaos!

Moreover, since the Primordial Celestial Venerable has already given his word that dynasties on earth can change normally, he, with his Buddhist methods, can naturally find a suitable opportunity to strike.
