Transmigrating into Haotian, ruling the Three Pure Ones and pacifying the primordial world.

"Yuanshi, is there something you need?" Hongjun's whisk stopped in mid-air, and he looked down with a puzzled expression.

"This disciple does indeed have something to discuss with my two junior brothers!" Yuanshi Tianzun sneered as he looked at Jieyin and Zhunti.

The latter's heart jumped instantly. During the Investiture of the Gods, Yuanshi had spoken about the disciples of the Chan Sect, both openly and secretly, but they all pretended not to understand.

Randeng had not contacted them for a long time, and there had been no news of what he had entrusted to them. Moreover, Randeng had been avoiding them, and there had been no opportunity for them to communicate privately.

Whether or not Yuanshi was told about it seems to be clear now.

"Whatever you wish to ask, senior brother, this humble Taoist will answer without reservation." Zhunti chuckled, his face full of unease.

"Sigh—" The saints shook their heads in unison. It's all your fault again. How come you offend people everywhere!

Tongtian turned his head, his eyes flashing with cold light. If it weren't for his master and the Heavenly Emperor agreeing to your establishment of Buddhism, and the great calamity of the prehistoric world, I would have already torn up your Mount Sumeru. Do you really think that my Jie Sect disciples are so easy to recruit?

They betrayed us, and I will only seek revenge on you two, the culprits!

Laozi’s white beard fluttered without wind, and Tongtian immediately withdrew his gaze. He dared not interfere if his second brother was going to do it!

Yaochi blinked her beautiful eyes and looked up. Sure enough, she saw the gloating in Haotian's eyes. The two looked at each other and both had expressions of watching a good show!

Yuanshi stared intently at Jieyin and Zhunti, then suddenly smiled: "I haven't even said anything yet, why are you so nervous?"

"No, no!" Zhunti wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked away from the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi that was shimmering with divine light.

"Don't tremble!" Yuan Shi smiled grimly. "What's done is done, and you have to admit it!"

"Yes, yes, please give your instructions, senior brother." Jieyin supported Zhunti to prevent him from falling.

What the two of them did was truly immoral, but in their eyes it was nothing. At worst, they would be beaten up again. The important thing was that Yuanshi chose to expose this matter in Zixiao Palace!

If the Master harbors any resentment, then Buddhism, which has not yet been established, will immediately perish!

After all, the Investiture of the Gods hadn't even begun, yet they had already interfered in the Chan and Jie sects. The Chan sect, in particular, had a vice leader and four disciples. If it were known that Senior Brother Yuanshi had beaten them in Zixiao Palace, even Master wouldn't have stopped them.

Yuanshi looked at the two with a half-smile and said softly, "The direct disciple of the Western Sect, Maitreya Medicine Master, has perished, and his soul has been listed on the list. As his senior brother, I am deeply saddened. However, Buddhism is about to be established, and the great calamity of the primordial world is about to arrive. My two junior brothers are going to fight against the sages, and Buddhism cannot be left without a leader."

"Senior brother, we also have Sunlight, Moonlight, and Mahasthamaprapta among our disciples, all of whom are my personal disciples!" Zhunti's expression changed, and he quickly explained.

"Sunlight and Moonlight are merely Taiyi Golden Immortals, and Great Power Realm is only a late-stage Daluo Immortal. How can they possibly lead a sect!" Yuanshi looked at the two with displeasure.

"Randeng was the deputy leader of our Chan Sect and a former guest of Zixiao Palace. He listened to our master preach with us and can be called Dingguang Buddha, in charge of Buddhism."

Zhen Yuanzi looked incredulous. "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi is so generous that he can even send away a vice sect leader?"

Jieyin and Zhunti smiled bitterly. They had indeed promised Randeng that if he joined the Western Sect, his treatment would not be worse than in the Chan Sect, and they could even help him attain the quasi-sainthood. But that was under the condition that Maitreya and Bhaisajyaguru were present!

Now that they've been caught red-handed, are they going to let an outsider like Randeng take control of the Buddhist power?

Yuanshi glanced at the two of them and said slowly, "After the Investiture of the Gods ended, the Heavenly Dao bestowed an opportunity. Cihang, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Julusun, and Randeng discussed the Dao and unexpectedly comprehended Buddhist teachings."

"I am moved by the hard work of my disciples, and therefore grant them permission to leave the Chan Sect and join Buddhism!"

"Holy crap—" Zhen Yuanzi stood up in shock. Even the three emperors, including Hongyun, looked astonished. Nuwa's red lips parted slightly as she looked at Jieyin and Zhunti in disbelief.

Once Senior Brother Yuanshi uttered these words, everyone understood the underlying meaning; it was just that the truth hadn't been fully revealed yet.

Those two are incredibly audacious!

There are twelve direct disciples of the Chan Sect, and you've poached a third of them!

Even Yang Mei looked at Hongjun with a strange expression. Fellow Daoist, your disciple's cultivation is not high, but his courage is really great!

"Zheng—"

The Qingping Sword was instantly drawn and pressed against the necks of Jieyin and Zhunti. Tongtian smiled, but his eyes were filled with killing intent: "Disciples of the Jie Sect are one thing, but you dare to attack the Chan Sect!"

After all, with the arrival of ten thousand immortals from the Jie Sect, he could understand some betrayals, but there were also disciples in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation who fought to the death for the Jie Sect, which made Tongtian very gratified. Therefore, he did not have many complaints about those who were taken away by Zhunti.

His elder brothers treated him so well, but he never expected that his second brother's Chan Sect would also have problems!

"Alas, Buddha Dingguang!" Haotian suddenly sighed, which seemed particularly out of place in this situation!

Tongtian was taken aback. Dingguang?

Dingguang Buddha! Long-eared Dingguang Immortal, is there another meaning behind that?

"Good! Good!" Tongtian laughed in anger. Only then did he realize that Chang'er Dingguangxian was also an inside agent of these two. He had thought that Chang'er and the disciples of the Western Sect were just like-minded people!

I never knew there was this reason!

If Chang Er hadn't been punished, given his status, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation would probably have been destroyed by his own people!

Neither Jieyin nor Zhunti dared to move. Laozi lightly waved his whisk to catch the Qingping Sword: "Master and Senior Yangmei are still here. Do not be presumptuous."

Tongtian took a deep breath, his teeth straight, the gash in the Zhuxian Sword Formation that Laozi had knocked out with his crutch had healed, and he looked at Jieyin and Zhunti with a very standard smile: "Junior brother, it was I who was presumptuous!"

Jieyin and Zhunti shuddered involuntarily, their white teeth gleaming coldly, as if they wanted to devour the two of them alive.

"As expected of a sage who can establish a separate Buddhist sect, I am truly blessed!" Hongjun sighed softly after watching the farce.

"Master, please forgive me." Jieyin Zhunti quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Forgive me, what crime have you committed that deserves forgiveness?" Hongjun glanced at the two of them indifferently. If Yuanshi had not discovered such methods sooner, and Haotian had not been so ruthless, Buddhism would probably have been established long ago.

"Since I have granted your permission to establish Buddhism, I will not go back on my word. You may discuss the specific details yourselves!" Hongjun said calmly, closing his eyes.

Yuanshi bowed in gratitude. Laozi pressed Tongtian down and looked at Jieyin and Zhunti, saying, "Randeng is now the Buddha of Fixed Light. The Chan Sect can give up one position to Mahasthamaprapta to replace Julusun."

"The Jie Sect has fallen, but the great calamity of the primordial world is coming. The six immortals who accompanied him were quite powerful. Wuyun Immortal, Qiushou Immortal, Jinguang Immortal, Lingya Immortal, Pilu Immortal, Jingu Immortal, and Julusun can be called the Seven Buddhas of antiquity. They led the thousand disciples of the Jie Sect and suppressed the fortune of Buddhism."

"Third brother, have them deduce a formation and take it with them!"

Jieyin and Zhunti hesitated, unsure of what to say. In this way, the Buddhist fortune was almost completely divided up, and apart from Mahasthamaprapta, there were no more people from their original Western sect among the higher-ups!

After all these years of hard work, am I just going to be someone else's beneficiary?

Laozi and Yuanshi are so skilled, it's obvious they had a plan in mind. They've been staying in the Heavenly Court all along, so this must be the Heavenly Emperor's backup plan.

Even Hongjun opened his eyes and looked over. No wonder he didn't care about Indra, the Heavenly King Buddha. It turns out he had planned this all along!

"Hmm?" Laozi and Yuanshi snorted coldly, looking at Jieyin and Zhunti with displeasure. "Do you have anything to add to what we said?"

Nuwa looked at the two of them, their expressions ashen, and couldn't help but sigh. They really brought it on themselves!

"Junior brothers, it's time to quit while you're ahead!"

Jieyin and Zhunti remained silent; what had they seen was beyond redemption!

"With the establishment of Buddhism, merits will surely descend. The talents mentioned by Senior Brothers Taiqing and Yuqing are all extremely outstanding. How many people on Mount Sumeru can compare to them!" Nuwa added, "Ten Quasi-Saints, and Dipankara is also in harmony with the Dao of Nirvana."

"What you two desire is to spread the teachings and restore the West. Their conversion to Buddhism makes them your vehicles for this purpose!"
