Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

The common people are drowning in suffering, enduring calamities from demons and ghosts; this is the fault of our Buddhist community.

The monks in the temple couldn't sleep all night, feeling ashamed.

Half a month ago, the Venerable One received the Buddha's decree and felt something in his heart.

Lingshan Temple abandoned the glory and wealth of the empire and stepped into the sea of ​​suffering, all for the sake of saving all living beings and rescuing the people of the Western Spirit Realm from fire and water.

The relocation of the temple was not to escape conflict or retreat from the secular world, but to promote Buddhism, uphold the original aspiration of Buddhism, and live up to the wishes of all people.

……

Three months later, Lingshan Temple was relocated.

When the new temple is completed, we will chant sutras day and night to pray for the empire, for His Majesty, and for all the people.

May the empire remain forever secure, and may the nation prosper and its people live in peace.

Lingfa Bodhisattva is the current abbot of Lingshan Temple.

……

On the day the document was delivered, Mu Zhaoyang issued seven imperial edicts in succession, using the name of the Emperor of the Great Ling Empire to persuade Lingshan Temple to stay.

Unsuccessful.

June, 330th year of the Gregorian calendar.

The entire Lingshan Temple, a sacred Buddhist site, was relocated to the Western Lingyu region.

……

The Great Spirit Empire, the Imperial Palace, the Royal Garden.

Inside the misty pavilion, Mu Zhaoyang and Mu Yuncheng sat facing each other, each holding a cup of hot tea, chatting about Lingshan Temple.

"Lingshan Temple has been a sacred Buddhist site since ancient times, with a history spanning hundreds of thousands of years in the Tianqi Domain. It has never undergone any major changes in the long years."

Our Great Ling Empire has never mistreated Lingshan Temple. Not only have we granted these monks the right to self-governance, but we have also given them land within a hundred miles.

"Father, I believe that the sudden relocation of Lingshan Temple is truly strange."

The speaker was Mu Yuncheng. As one of only three terrestrial immortals of the Mu clan, Mu Yuncheng naturally became the crown prince of the empire.

After the great ancestor bestowed upon him the supreme treasure known as the "Strongest Immortal Cultivation System," Mu Zhaoyang completely relinquished his responsibilities, giving everything he could to Mu Yuncheng.

In the Mu family, gaining the approval of their great ancestor is the highest honor.

To this day, Mu Zhaoyang still harbors resentment over what happened back then.

All the officials in the court could feel the gaze of the great ancestor, but he, as the emperor of the Great Ling Empire, did not feel it at all.

What a blasphemous thing to do! If the other members of the Mu clan found out, what would become of them?

Fortunately, his empress, Bai Ya, gave birth to a good son who recently gained the appreciation of his great ancestor.

This put Mu Zhaoyang at ease and further solidified his resolve.

If the Great Spirit Empire wants to prosper, it must bring in noble ladies from the Bai family generation after generation!

As the emperor of the Great Spirit Empire, he must set an example!

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

It's definitely not because he's envious of the noblewoman from the Bai family! Nor is it because he wants to unlock more achievements!

He can guarantee that it was the Empress herself who agreed!

At this moment, listening to Mu Yuncheng's words, Mu Zhaoyang took a sip of hot tea and looked at his most proud son.

"What Yun Cheng said is very true. First, our great ancestor bestowed a precious treasure, and then the entire Lingshan Temple was relocated. It's strange no matter how you look at it."

A few days ago, my father visited my grandfather and learned from him that my grandfather had also received a treasure bestowed by our great ancestor.

Although my grandfather didn't say it explicitly, I have a feeling that the world is about to descend into chaos.

Hearing Mu Zhaoyang's words, Mu Yuncheng frowned slightly and lowered his voice.

"The empire is prosperous and has created an unprecedented golden age in the Nine Domains. Now, the two elders of the Five Spirits Academy have returned to the Yin Yin Domain and resolved the hidden dangers in the Yin Yin Domain."

The Starfall Continent was the private territory of our great ancestors, and it was always under their watchful eyes.

As it has developed to this day, the Mu royal family has produced many talented individuals, and several of the younger generation have the potential to reach the realm of terrestrial immortals.

Her Majesty the Mysterious Lady sits high in the heavens, and the Five Elements Sect has always considered itself a disciple of the Mysterious Lady, so there is absolutely no possibility of rebellion.

In addition, we have been related to the Bai family by marriage for generations, and our two families are intertwined.

Even excluding Taoism and Buddhism, the two great empires together have more than twenty terrestrial immortals.

The empire is at its zenith; I truly cannot fathom where this trouble could have originated.

Mu Yuncheng's words made Mu Zhaoyang fall into thought, and he remained silent for a long time.

To be honest, he felt that the Great Spirit Empire under his rule had reached its peak.

If the Great Spirit Empire and the Great Time Empire join forces, they can sweep across all human kingdoms.

I really can't think of how to lose!

"In any case, just be more careful in the coming decades. If anything really goes wrong, Yun Cheng, you can handle it yourself."

……

In the five years following the relocation of Lingshan Temple, the Buddhist community of the Great Ling Empire experienced unprecedented turmoil, with more than 800 Buddhist temples moving westward in succession.

Throughout history, Taoist temples and Buddhist temples have always been responsible for suppressing local demons and monsters.

This large-scale relocation of Buddhist temples has greatly reduced the local spiritual practice, creating many vacuum areas.

The entire Great Spirit Empire was significantly affected as a result.

The lack of suppression of local demons and monsters has severely impacted the normal lives of the local people.

335th year of the Gregorian calendar.

A single imperial edict spread throughout the land.

The Demon Slayer Division has emerged out of nowhere.

The Demon Slayer Division is impartial and open to all forces within the Great Spirit Empire, recruiting heroes from all corners of the land to suppress demons and ghosts in various regions.

……

337 in the Gregorian calendar.

The True Dragon Clan withdrew from the Great Spirit Empire, citing internal turmoil within their clan.

……

340th year of the Gregorian calendar.

As the Demon Slayer Division grew stronger, it began to slay demons and monsters throughout the land, becoming an important part of the Great Spirit Empire's security force.

……

345th year of the Gregorian calendar.

A martial arts organization called the Reincarnation Pavilion suddenly appeared in Chengtian Domain.

Upon his birth, the Pavilion Master of the Reincarnation Pavilion personally visited the Wuji Sword Sect, the holy land of swordsmanship in the Chengtian Domain, and presented a challenge to the reclusive old sword saint, Jian Daoming.

Three months later, I will challenge the sword at the summit of Yulong Snow Mountain.

The news quickly spread throughout the entire Chengtian Domain.

Unlike the Apocalypse Domain, which only has two major empires, the Chengtian Domain has hundreds of kingdoms of varying sizes and countless forces.

Although a long, long time ago, Sword Saint Jian Daoming suffered repeated defeats in the Tianqi Domain, which to some extent affected the Sword Saint's reputation.

Centuries have passed, and the events of that time are long forgotten. The existence of Sword Saint Jian Daoming has become an ancient legend.

However, his disciple Dugu Wuji is now renowned in Chengtian Domain and is known as the Dugu Sword Saint.

People today don't know much about Jian Daoming, the old sword saint of the previous generation. They only know that he taught the current sword saint, Dugu Wuji.

With the addition of the current sect master of the Wuji Sword Sect, the entire Wuji Sword Sect boasts three Sword Saints, making it the most powerful force in the Chengtian Domain.

There are hundreds of large and small forces in Chengtian Domain, and every ten years they send a large number of gifts to Wuji Sword Sect, just to express their sincerity.

Such a powerful force was suddenly challenged, which immediately alarmed the entire Chengtian Domain.

The imperial court and the martial arts world were in an uproar, with martial arts practitioners from all over the world flocking to Yulong Snow Mountain to witness this epic battle.

On the day of the sword challenge, the Dragon Snow Mountain was packed with people.

Amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd, the old sword saint Jian Daoming stood atop the snow-capped mountain, awaiting the arrival of the Lord of the Samsara Pavilion.
