Primordial Era: The Ten Deadly Formations are Broken, Shen Gongbao Asks Me to Come Out of the Mounta
Chapter 208 On the Eve of the Journey to the West!
"Oh? You're scared?"
If you're worried that Buddhist practitioners might violate the precepts, then why bother establishing these precepts at all?
This Emperor hereby proclaims to the Three Realms that any cultivator of my Jie Sect or Shangqing Sect who violates the rules of the sect shall be severely punished by all cultivators of the Three Realms.
Would you, Buddha, dare to do such a thing?
Of course, if you withdraw your vow, it's not too late; you don't necessarily have to keep stubbornly insisting on it!
Zhao Gongming's words, which aimed to kill without wounding the spirit, were laced with undisguised sarcasm.
In an instant, Buddha's face turned ashen.
Amitabha Buddha!
How come you, you beast, are everywhere!
The reason I, a humble monk, established these precepts is solely to regulate my disciples and to maintain control over the Buddhist community.
But with you, you beast, causing trouble, you've really put the entire Buddhist community in a very difficult position.
Although cultivators from the Three Realms dare not easily attack Buddhist cultivators.
But so many eyes are watching.
In the future, Buddhist cultivators will likely have a very difficult time in the Three Realms.
Meanwhile, Zhunti and Jieyin, who were watching this scene, also had extremely grim expressions.
The purpose of having you, Buddha, establish precepts is to restrain your disciples and prevent them from creating negative karma.
But you, Buddha, are good at doing these things that are impossible.
By abstaining from sexual misconduct, the Buddhist concept of the "Joyful Buddha" is essentially rendered obsolete.
If one refrains from lying, the Buddhist supernatural powers of salvation (or even more so, deception) will be completely lost.
As for the other precepts, Zhunti and Jieyin were even less willing to discuss them. They even suspected that this Tathagata might be a spy planted in Buddhism by the Jie Sect.
Otherwise, why do these ten precepts seem to be targeting them, with their names appearing in every scroll?
After pondering for a while, Jieyin also turned his questioning gaze to Zhunti.
Zhunti looked helpless and shook his head, saying, "Things have come to this, so we have no choice but to accept it!"
Although the precepts are strict, if Buddhism wants to flourish in the future, it will inevitably have to emulate the Jie Sect and have all Buddhas pay homage to it. As a result, it is unavoidable that the disciples will be of mixed quality.
With the precepts in place, it will be much easier for us to clean up the mess in the future!
At this point, a chilling intent had already crept into Zhunti's words.
He and Jieyin have already sacrificed so much for the prosperity of Buddhism, so how could they let some scoundrels hinder the progress of Buddhism's prosperity?
Let alone abandoning these disciples, even if they themselves were to abandon Nirvana and pass away, they would not hesitate to do so as long as Buddhism could flourish.
Moreover, although the Buddha established precepts, how to punish them was still up to them.
With this precept in place, it is only natural for this humble monk to take action to clean up the sect.
The fact that this humble monk showed mercy is an act of Buddha's compassion.
No matter how you look at it, the advantage is in my hands.
As for that wicked beast Zhao Gongming...
Since he enjoys making a fool of himself, let him have it.
Anyway, it's not like I've never been laughed at before.
No matter how embarrassing it is, how does it compare to the time when the Dao Ancestor preached at Zixiao Palace?
It's just a little bit of weathering.
Thinking of this, Zhunti Jieyin put his hands together in prayer and immediately began chanting the Buddha's name, immersing himself in practice.
After laughing at the Buddhist sect, Zhao Gongming also stopped paying attention and immersed himself in his cultivation.
The great calamity of the Journey to the West is approaching. Buddhism will flourish, Taoism will decline, and demons will rise. That will be the true great calamity that will sweep across the three realms.
Only by attaining the Great Golden Immortal of Primordial Chaos can one escape the chessboard of the primordial world and truly transform from a chess piece into a chess player.
And so, as Zhao Gongming immersed himself in cultivation, the uproar surrounding the Buddha's establishment of Buddhist precepts gradually subsided throughout the Three Realms.
The succession of dynasties in the human world also got back on track.
Under the arrangement of Empress Pingxin, Hou Yi, Xing Tian, and Chi You, three top-tier great shamans, were stationed in the Qin Empire.
This allowed the Qin Dynasty, which was originally destined to perish in one lifetime, to extend for tens of thousands of years, defeating the Xiongnu in the north and conquering the Baiyue in the south, and eventually bringing the entire Jambudvipa (Southern Continent) under its control.
However, the way of Heaven operates, and Yin and Yang are in order.
As the Qin Empire unified the Southern Continent and its military might pointed directly at other continents, the Heavenly Dao could no longer remain passive.
It should be noted that at this time, the Wu tribe represented the human race, and it was one thing for them to unify the Southern Jambudvipa.
If the other three continents were unified, and the fortunes of the three realms were gathered, a human saint would likely be born among the human race!
This is no ordinary saint of humanity, but the ancestor of humanity. When humanity flourishes, it will likely suppress the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World.
Thus, driven by the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, the Way of Heaven began to stir things up.
First, internal strife broke out in the Qin state, and then the Supreme Sage sent out his own three corpses, who took the names Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, shouting, "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?"
Seeing that the Supreme Lord had taken action, the other sages also joined in, for this was an act carried out in accordance with the will of Heaven, and would bring them merit, fortune, and benefits.
In an instant, the once prosperous Qin Empire was engulfed in flames of war.
Empress Pingxin was furious at this, but there was nothing she could do.
During the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, when Chi You led his people in a great battle against the Yellow Emperor, he encountered this scene and was besieged by cultivators from the entire Primordial Mystic Sect.
However, she naturally wouldn't make the same mistake twice.
Thinking of this, Pingxin immediately proclaimed to the primordial world: "Our Wu clan cultivators shall, from this day forth, withdraw from the Three Realms and take up residence in the Underworld!"
Isn't your Heavenly Dao targeting my Wu Clan?
The cultivators of the Xuanmen sect even use my Wu clan as a tool to scheme for fortune and merit.
Since that's the case, then my Wu clan will all return to the underworld, preserve our vital energy, and wait for Houtu to successfully transform and be reborn into the world, attain the Dao Ancestor status, and then properly settle the karma of today.
Soon, as Lady Pingxin proclaimed to the Three Realms, Hou Yi, Chi You, Xing Tian, the Great Witch, and many other powerful members of the Witch Clan, who were in charge of the Great Qin Empire, all returned to the Underworld.
The original Qin Empire collapsed with the return of the Wu Clan to the underworld and the siege of numerous Xuanmen cultivators.
Thus, the Qin Dynasty fell, and the cycle of dynasties began anew, with Liu Bang, the King of Han, establishing his own dynasty.
The Han Dynasty split into East and West, the Western Han Dynasty collapsed, the Three Kingdoms period ensued, and then came the period of the Five Barbarian Invasions.
Unbeknownst to them, they had arrived on the eve of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the ominous aura of impending doom was gradually emerging in the world.
In the chaotic starry sky, Zhunti Jieyin, who was cultivating, opened his eyes as if sensing something.
Upon sensing the change of dynasties in the world, smiles appeared on both of their faces.
In their perception, the great revival of Buddhism was drawing ever closer.
Zhun extracted a relic and immediately smiled, saying, "Although the great prosperity of our Buddhist sect is destined, some arrangements can be made now."
This relic can be integrated into the stone embryo, merging with the spirit of the stone embryo.
At that time, the stone embryo will have just been born, and it will likely already possess the cultivation of a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Only then can it be used as a backup plan to reap the fortunes of the three religions!
The original plan for Zhunti Jieyin was not intended to be this complicated.
However, the Jie Sect was so prosperous that even though the stone embryo had accumulated merit and possessed astonishing inner strength, it was still very powerful.
However, it would be difficult to use them to eliminate the Xuanmen forces in the Earthly Immortal Realm and pave the way for the eastward spread of Buddhism.
Therefore, the only option is to plan ahead and use this relic to enhance its cultural significance.
However, after making his plans, Zhunti suddenly remembered something.
