Chapter 398 The Taiqing's Inaction Leads to the Rise of Various Factions

The Jade Pool Wonderland was shrouded in mist, with spiritual energy condensing and falling like rain. The flowing water was melodious, but it could not drown out the sounds of discussions taking place in the hall.

"The Buddha and Taoist sects are vying for destiny; you can simply stand by and watch." Yaochi's brows were composed, and her tone was full of indifference.

"Tushan, although Nanji Zi is the Crown Prince of Shenxiao Palace, you are the Antarctic Longevity Emperor. You don't need to worry about Yuanshi Shi's reputation. Punish him as he should."

"Our Heavenly Court governs the Three Realms. How each religion develops is their own business. The immortals of the Heavenly Court have their own responsibilities and have no obligation to fight for their destiny."

"Yes, Your Majesty, thank you for your guidance." Tu Shan, dressed in the Longevity Emperor's robe, bowed and replied, his aura already indicating that he had attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Yaochi was about to give some more instructions when she suddenly paused, looked around, and said, "Now that you've returned, Senior Brother, come out."

Tu Shan Bai Ze was taken aback: "His Majesty has returned to the Heavenly Court?"

They naturally knew about the interaction between Heaven and Earth, but when His Majesty disappeared outside the South Heavenly Gate, they assumed that His Majesty had gone to one of the six newly integrated primordial worlds.

"Ring ring—"

Suddenly, a melodious bell rang out, and the people in the hall felt a surge of clarity in their spirits, no less than the heavenly music played by Emperor Fuxi.

Haotian, dressed in imperial robes, appeared beside Yaochi, gently plucking the myriad wind chimes with his fingers, captivating her completely.

After the sound faded away, Yaochi breathed a sigh of relief, then carefully examined the Myriad Sounds Wind Chime, her tone filled with surprise: "This is actually a Primordial Treasure?"

"Indeed, it was offered by the Chaos Demon God." Haotian nodded. Its power was not great; it was more of a support-type treasure.

Yaochi took the item and examined it. Haotian asked curiously, "I didn't reveal my presence. How did you know I had returned, Junior Sister?"

As he spoke, he sat down on the other side, and with a gentle lift of his palm, Bai Ze and Tu Shan were lifted up.

Yaochi raised her head and smiled, "I didn't notice you, Senior Brother. I just suddenly had a feeling that you had returned."

"Oh?" Haotian smiled and winked. "So, from now on, nothing I do in the Heavenly Court will be hidden from my junior sister?"

"What are you trying to do behind my back, Senior Brother?" Yaochi put down the Wanlai Wind Chime, her phoenix eyes narrowing dangerously.

"Just kidding." Haotian coughed lightly.

Yaochi gave a soft snort, and Haotian sat up straight, looking down: "What, has the competition for fortune between Buddhism and Taoism been fierce these past few years?"

Upon meeting Haotian's gaze, Bai Ze, who was knowledgeable about all things, immediately stepped in to defuse the situation: "Your Majesty, in recent years Buddhism has been trying to spread its teachings to the East and expand Mahayana Buddhism."

"However, the Three Pure Ones did not show any mercy because of Shakyamuni's status. Taoism was developing vigorously in the Eastern Continent and had been resisting the spread of Buddhism."

"But they went to the Western Continent to spread their teachings extensively. Now, the human race in the three thousand worlds has both Buddhism and Taoism passing down their methods of saving people, only in the Nine Provinces..."

He hesitated, and Yaochi plucked the wind chimes, the melodious sound interrupting Bai Ze's words.

"Let me tell you, little sister, Kong Xuan is about to succeed!"

Haotian immediately became interested: "Tell me more."

"The Qin Dynasty developed steadily, and the human race was at peace. As you should know, the more prosperous a dynasty is, the more scholars there are, which provides fertile ground for the growth of Confucianism."

"Over the years, Confucian disciples have stood in the court, dedicated to bringing Confucianism to its peak. The slogan of 'dismissing all other schools of thought and honoring Confucianism alone' has long been present among the human race."

Yaochi spoke casually, and Haotian stroked his chin, a smile slowly appearing on his lips: "Continue."

"The Qin Dynasty was ultimately founded on law. No country can develop without the law. Therefore, it implemented methods that were Confucian in appearance but Legalist in essence. Senior brother should understand that there is only so much destiny. If it is divided up by the Confucianists and Legalists, then..."

A glint of light flashed in Haotian's eyes: "The Hundred Schools of Thought have surrendered to Taoism!"

"That's right." Yaochi smiled broadly. "With the backing of Taoism, they can also get a share of the pie. Moreover, Senior Brother Yuanshi is also very concerned about the fortune of Legalism. With him mediating, all schools of thought can also gain a foothold in the court."

"So it seems that the main force preventing Buddhism from entering Kyushu is mostly from the Hundred Schools of Thought!" Haotian suddenly looked at the Three Pure Ones and said approvingly, "Well done, worthy of being our senior brother."

Yaochi was slightly taken aback, then suddenly realized what was going on. She sighed softly, "Senior brother sees things very clearly. I was completely kept in the dark. If you hadn't pointed it out, I would still be clueless."

Bai Ze and Tu Shan exchanged a glance, pondered the matter carefully, and then a look of horror flashed in their eyes. So that's how it is!

Kong Xuan wanted to transform Confucianism into a religion, which was a consensus among the Three Pure Ones. They would not stop him. In any case, the cultivation methods of Confucianism were of the same lineage as Confucian immortals, which was much closer to Buddhism.

While allowing Confucianism to grow in power and accumulate fortune, the Sage Taiqing also had Legalism check and balance it. After all, the Qin Dynasty was largely established by Legalism, which was enough to ensure that Confucianism would not get out of control and become a behemoth that would purge others from the court.

Meanwhile, the Primordial Sage, as the head of the Legalist school, was also able to reap more fortune.

Therefore, the other schools of thought could only develop within the human race if they wanted to increase their fortune. For the human race, the Hundred Schools of Thought were indispensable. As the leader of the Human Religion, the Sage Taiqing understood this very well.

Therefore, he would contact the heads of various schools of thought at the right time, which not only helped Taoism grow stronger, but also forced the various schools of thought to confront Buddhism.

The land of Kyushu is already chaotic enough; Buddhism shouldn't get involved!

Seeing the three people's expressions of emotion, Haotian shook his head: "I only realized it after hearing my junior sister's summary. It's normal that you couldn't see clearly because you were in the thick of it. Senior Brother took 30,000 years to act, using subtle and silent methods. He truly deserves to be called a sage who walks the path of non-action. His methods are truly masterful!"

Yaochi smiled bitterly: "I was proud that my cultivation had caught up, but I am far inferior to my senior brother in terms of cunning."

"Junior Sister, there's no need for such modesty," Haotian comforted her. "You're about to break through to the eighth level of the Primordial Chaos Realm. If you can't outsmart them, you can flip the table. What can they do about it?"

No matter how Buddhism and Taoism have developed over the years, they have always been under the rule of the Heavenly Court. Yaochi has already reached the peak of the seventh level of Hunyuan, and is about to catch up with Laozi's realm.

"That's true." Yaochi smiled after accepting the comfort. With her strength in hand, she didn't need to worry so much.

Moreover, with his senior brother around, no matter how many schemes Senior Brother Taiqing plots, he wouldn't dare to target the Heavenly Court.

"When my senior brother left, he asked Senior Brother Taiqing to preach the Dao to the immortals of the Heavenly Court for ten thousand years. After they opened up the Three Pure Heavens, the three of them preached the Dao together for twenty thousand years. Only in recent years has the Daoist aura begun to subside."

Haotian blinked. Everyone's pretty perceptive!

"By the way, over the years, my senior brother and many disciples have been descending to the mortal world to save people. My Heavenly Court has also gained four great celestial masters, all of whom are outstanding disciples of Taoism. Under the Taoist sect, many sects have also sprung up like mushrooms after rain."

"The Taoism we established back then has finally flourished everywhere!"

Haotian lowered his eyes, and the Heavenly Dao appeared before him, revealing all the major and minor events that had occurred in the primordial world over the years.

Zhang Daoling founded Longhu Mountain, Xu Xun founded Jingming Dao, Sa Shoujian carried forward the Shenxiao School, and Ge Xuan founded Lingbao School, also known as Gezao Mountain.

"Gui Ling's position as the Purple Void Primordial Lord was not misplaced. He transformed into Wei Huacun to establish the Shangqing Maoshan lineage, and Tao Hongjing—was he accumulating fortune for Tongtian?"

Haotian frowned slightly. "Senior Brother is so generous, ordering Xuantian to pass on the Lingbao Pavilion's Zaoshan lineage..."

"Xuantian is also willing." Yaochi sighed softly. Of course, she had asked about this matter, but Xuantian's reason was that the Three Pure Ones had all entered the Heavenly Court. Although he was a disciple of the Human Sect, the Three Pure Ones were ultimately one.

Haotian was silent for a moment, then said, "That's good!"

Although Xuan Tian bestowed his inheritance, he worshipped Shangqing Tongtian instead, and could only obtain a small portion of the fortune.

"Senior Brother Yuanshi was a bit lacking in the Shenxiao Sect, then there's the Qingwei Sect and the Kunlun Sect, and Guangchengzi established the Kongtong Sect." Haotian clicked his tongue twice, "Everyone's been busy!"

Seeing the streaks of light approaching, Haotian chuckled, took out two items, and lightning instantly illuminated the Heavenly Court: "It's been many years, let me give them a little shock!"
