The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 95 The Buddhist Master, I'm Reassured

The prehistoric world is too dangerous!

It's not just a simple matter of overwhelming strength; there are all sorts of tactics involved.

Those powerful figures who stand at the pinnacle of the world have lived for countless years, yet their eyelashes are all empty.

You're talking about them!

It's one thing to be highly skilled, but why are they all so cunning?

Can't people be a little more honest and simple?

"This world is full of complex schemes; I want to go back to Earth."

Feng Xi's eyes were filled with sorrow, and a faint sadness lingered in her heart.

"Uh... wait a minute!"

"That global village... seems pretty slippery, doesn't it? And people's hearts are just as complicated!"

Thinking this, Feng Xi felt even more sorrowful.

I'm so ashamed!

……

If you don't have superior wisdom and strength to roam in the primordial world, you might as well stay home obediently.

Otherwise, if you go out, you might get sold out and then happily count the money for the other person.

The higher the level, the more this is true.

Those powerful figures of the Great Luo realm are eternally free in endless time and space, manifesting in trillions of incarnations in different civilized worlds... If they had even a fraction of the thought to devise ways to cheat or scheme against others, they could easily become grandmasters in this field!

Can't be bothered.

This is Feng Xi's most direct feeling.

He once again refreshed his worldview, and began to study the great beings in the primordial world with even greater vigilance and caution.

"Some people with great supernatural powers look kind and benevolent... who knows what evil they're plotting behind the scenes!"

"Let me think, what are some good gentlemen in the primordial world?" Feng Xi pondered seriously.

At the same time, he feigned sudden realization in front of Mu, saying, "I see!"

"According to you, even the great Buddhist master, Zhunti, hasn't stepped forward to protect his reputation, nor has he used his supernatural powers to eliminate those who gossip behind his back, or even send them a letter of complaint. Does he really have such means waiting for him?"

"Brilliant!"

Feng Xi clapped his hands in approval, "Let the haters run rampant for now, to attract attention... then when the time is right, turn the tables in one fell swoop!"

"This method is incredible, capable of turning clouds into rain with a flick of the wrist... Incredible! Incredible!" His perfect reading comprehension skills kicked in, and he analyzed in depth, "The masterminds behind those rumors and slanders are those who have suffered losses in the process of expanding the Buddhist market, they are losers... Unable to reverse their decline, they spread rumors over time, hoping to create a situation where public opinion can melt metal."

"If Buddhism reacts strongly and sanctions those affected by the rumors, then these behind-the-scenes manipulators can further spread their influence and amplify public opinion—claiming that Buddhism has been hit where it hurts and its dark history has been exposed, which is already an act of rage!"

"Fairness...that's a vague thing sometimes." Feng Xi took a deep breath. "When you use momentum to drag the majority of people who don't know the truth onto the bandwagon, and turn it into a gang attack on the minority...true fairness becomes unimportant."

"but……"

"Those who control all of this, since they were losers in the competition with Buddhism, naturally have their reasons for failure." Feng Xi paced back and forth on the deck. "In marketing, packaging, and public relations, they were no match for Buddhism, which is second to none in this field... In the end, they actually gave their opponents a boost!"

"A flurry of activity, but a complete disaster!"

"What was originally a perfectly planned smear campaign turned into a fit of impotent rage... Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

"Such powerful methods... If the Buddhist sect wanted to make easy money, they could secretly organize a group of online trolls to launch a preemptive strike, first smearing themselves and then clearing their name, attracting attention and becoming the most widely discussed lineage!" Feng Xi gave a thumbs up. "Is this the ability of that Cundi Buddha? So terrifying!"

"Uh..." Mu hesitated, trying to find the words, before finally shaking his head. "There must be someone else in charge here."

"However, you don't need to ask about this." Mu nipped Feng Xi's urge to ask further, "It's not appropriate for you to know right now."

"Oh." Feng Xi readily agreed.

Even the great shaman was somewhat reluctant to discuss this matter, so naturally he wouldn't continue to court death by trying to find out who that capable person was.

Feng Xi proactively changed the subject, "The art of propaganda lies in the mind; manipulating people's hearts is as easy as reading the lines on the palm of your hand... My personal suggestion is that the clan should perhaps increase its investment in this area?"

"After all, the Ancestral Witches said it before..." He carefully chose his words, "The battle between the Witch and Demon races is destined to last for a long time... Such a great war is not only a clash of hard power, but also an impact of soft power."

"You can rest assured about that..." Mu chuckled. "Which of the twelve Ancestral Witches is simple?"

"We had already considered these things."

"We established diplomatic relations with the ancient gods and took the initiative to make moves; we also sent you as exchange students to open up new opportunities... little by little, we spread the ideas of our witch clan."

Mu Yiyi continued, "Furthermore, in the future, we will attempt to unite with some Daoist traditions to divide and disintegrate the demon race to a certain extent."

"Unite? Disintegrate?" Feng Xi was somewhat confused.

"This was discussed at a recent joint meeting of the clan's ancestral shamans and great shamans," Mu said. "You should know that in this primordial world, everyone is either a shaman or a demon."

"In theory, any sentient being outside the witch race, except for those born as gods, can be categorized as a demon race."

"Even the disciples and grand-disciples of those powerful lineages are no exception."

"However, once they enter the lineage of a powerful being and bear the burden of rules such as respecting their teachers and not betraying their ancestors, when the will of the demon race's heavenly court clashes with the will of their sect, which side should these beings stand on?"

Mu smiled indifferently, "Mostly it's to follow the will of the sect."

"So, bringing those lineages to our side is tantamount to undermining the demon race." Feng Xi understood.

"Yes." The high shaman nodded. "The larger the lineage that is brought over, the greater the weakening effect on the demon race."

"It's not that those creatures are particularly powerful in combat; the key is that they created a breach in the demon race's ideology and system."

"The demon race values ​​bloodline hierarchy."

"The transmission of the Daoist tradition from master to disciple emphasizes the importance of lineage and seniority."

"This could become a breakthrough," Mu said calmly. "For this, the Ancestral Witches believe that sacrificing some of the future fortune of the human race is not unacceptable."

"Is this... really feasible?" Feng Xi pondered. "There seems to be some risk involved. It's a gamble that my Wu Clan will definitely win, and that the Human Race will become the protagonist of the world!"

"You should have some faith in your race," Mu smiled. "Actually, there are quite a few people who believe in the human race's traditions."

"The Taoist school has this intention, and the Buddhist school also has this inclination—these are the two greatest lineages!"

"Then let's take them all!" Feng Xi's eyes sparkled.

"It's not quite appropriate," Mu said. "There are some contradictions in the ideologies of these two families... and besides, don't ignore the higher-ups of the demon race."

"Then there will definitely be a countermeasure... to increase welfare accordingly and retain some powerful lineages."

"The fortune that the clan can promise can be enjoyed exclusively by either the Xuanmen or the Buddhist sect, which is more profitable than before switching sides. But if it's split between the two? It's not as worthwhile as just staying and making a living among the demons."

"So at that time, there might be a bidding process targeting these two lineages that have spread out the largest in the primordial world."

"If you're lucky enough, you might witness it with your own eyes."

"I'll definitely go see it!" Feng Xi rubbed her hands together excitedly. "This is the distinction between the orthodox and unorthodox cultivation schools of the future human race... How important is this? How can I miss it?"

"Oh! That's right!"

"I've often heard that the Xuanmen Taoism sect is the only legitimate one... Are these rumors credible? Did the Xuanmen sect actually win the bid?"

"It's hard to say." Mu shook his head. "Actually, after these two lineages expressed their intention to cooperate, the Ancestral Witches discussed it for a while."

"Some people suggested just choosing a partner and that would be the end of it... but that's where the problem lies."

"Some ancestral shamans chose the Taoist path, while others leaned towards Buddhism!"

"The six masters, Zhu Jiuyin, Houtu, Gonggong, Tianwu, Xuanming, and Xizi, have expressed their optimism about the Xuanmen sect."

"The six lords, Dijiang, Jumang, Zhurong, Rushou, Shebishi, and Qiangliang, cast their votes for Buddhism."

"After the Ancestral Witches cast their votes, they were dumbfounded when the ballots were tallied." Mu shrugged, looking like he almost laughed. "Six against six, how so?"

"We can only put it on hold for now."

"We'll wait for the Ancestral Witch to put it up for tender and see which side offers a better and more suitable price."

"In this matter, the Xuanmen sect may not necessarily have the last laugh," Mu commented. "After all, looking at the long river of time, all sorts of outcomes are possible."

"Even if, in some cases, Taoism is revered as the orthodox school, there are still more Buddhists than Taoists. How should this be accounted for?"

"Just you wait and see..." Mu sighed softly, "Things might turn out quite interesting."

"Anyway, we, the Wu clan, are essentially playing the fishing platform... The fiercer the struggle between the Xuanmen and Buddhist sects, the more advantageous it is for us."

Hearing what Mu said, Feng Xi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The ancestral witches of the witch clan are no pushovers either.

No wonder they are among the most prominent in this chaotic world where morals are questionable.

"If even the Ancestral Witches are like this... then what about those Human Kings and Holy Emperors who stand above them?"

"Wouldn't that be even more terrifying?"

"The integrity of the human race under such a kingly leader is truly worrying!" Feng Xi's mood was strange.

The overall moral character of the human race in the future is worrying.

But on the other hand... why does Feng Xi feel inexplicably relaxed?

"Hmm...seeing how scoundrel these leaders are, I'm filled with hope for the future of humanity again!"

Feng Xi had very mixed feelings and didn't know how to describe them.

After all, the prehistoric world is so dangerous that it's really not easy for an honest and upright person to survive.

Look at Phoenix Perch Mountain, even the noble phoenixes have fallen and adapted to the times... How can the human race be an exception?
