Primordial Era: This Heavenly Emperor is Too Powerful

Chapter 157 The Buddhist Sect's Second Sacred Scheme and Calamity

He pondered for a moment.

Suddenly, the Supreme Being had a flash of inspiration.

Isn't this the opportunity I've been searching for all this time?

The old Taoist priest may choose not to punish you.

but.

The old Taoist priest can use this as an excuse to place Duobao in your place.

The damage caused then will be far better than simply beating those two up.

Beat him up?

For those two Westerners, it was all too commonplace.

Ever since they started listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace, haven't these two been beaten up enough?

They're doing just fine now.

But if Duobao were brought there, the situation would be completely different.

At the very least, that would allow Duobao to split up the Buddhist sect.

Thinking of this, Taishang couldn't help but stroke his beard.

Immediately, with a thought, he released Duobao, Sanxiao, and Wudang.

After Wu Xiu was released, he first glanced at Taishang.

He then bowed slightly and said, "We pay our respects to the Sage!"

Upon seeing Wu Xiu's behavior, the Supreme Lord's expression froze for a moment.

Does this mean they already hold a grudge against me?

After thinking about it for a while, Taishang decided to ignore it.

What he did certainly made him hateful.

Although he was deceived by Yuanshi.

but.

That doesn't negate the fact that he did go there and even took action.

That's the truth; there's no point in arguing.

Then the Supreme Lord spoke up: "Wudang, Sanxiao!"

You can go back to Jin'ao Island now!

From now on, sages will no longer set foot in the primordial wilderness, and Tongtian left behind a monstrous corpse on Jin'ao Island.

"After you return, cultivate yourselves diligently."

The words were spoken.

With a flick of his sleeve, Taishang sent Wudang and the Three Immortals directly to the East Sea.

Duobao, who was left alone, was filled with doubts.

Wudang and the Three Immortals have already been released.

Why did you leave him alone?

Then Duobao spoke up: "May I ask if the Sage has any other instructions?"

If not, this junior will return to Jin'ao Island.

Upon hearing Duobao's words, Taishang said calmly, "This old Daoist has some matters to arrange for you to handle."

Upon hearing this, Duobao replied, "The Sage has his own disciples. If there is anything, please arrange it with your own disciples."

"This junior must return to listen to the teachings of the sage of my Jie Sect."

Upon hearing Duobao's reply, Taishang's expression darkened.

"The old Taoist's disciple is not suitable to do this."

You just need to follow the old Taoist's instructions.

No need to ask the rest!

Hearing this, Duobao understood.

It's almost impossible for him to escape on his own.

However, he did not respond.

The meaning is obvious.

You are a saint; I cannot refuse your arrangements.

but.

I will not agree to this.

Upon seeing this, the Supreme Lord naturally understood Duobao's thoughts.

But he couldn't care less about that.

Have any ideas?

None of that matters.

Even if Duobao were to betray him later, it wouldn't matter.

In any case, his plan was simply to have Duobao split the Buddhist community.

As for betraying him, Supreme Lord?

That doesn't matter.

As long as Duobao doesn't betray the Jie Sect, it's fine.

If you haven't betrayed the Jie Sect, then you haven't betrayed the Xuanmen Sect.

Everything else is no longer the focus.

Anyway, they've already been resented.

Seeing that Duobao remained silent, Taishang said, "Please sit down!"

The old Taoist priest will preach to you for a hundred years!

How much you can understand depends on your own destiny.

The Supreme Lord began to preach to Duobao, opening the door for him to become a quasi-saint.

Meanwhile, on Mount Ling, Zhunti and Jieyin waited for a moment.

Seeing that the other sages remained silent, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

This situation is very wrong.

They had considered the possibility of being besieged by the Four Saints.

I also thought I might get a beating from the Supreme Elder.

but.

The only thing I didn't expect was that the four from the Xuanmen sect would be so quiet.

Not only the Four Sages of Xuanmen, but even Haotian of the Heavenly Court ignored their actions.

After a moment of silence, Zhunti couldn't help but speak: "Senior Brother!"

Why did those people not react at all?

Upon hearing this, Jieyin's heart pounded wildly.

After a long pause, he replied, "This matter is probably not going to be good."

If those individuals had taken direct action, the situation would have been somewhat acceptable.

But the fact that they are not making a move is the most terrifying thing.

It seems that the Supreme Lord already has a plan targeting us.

Based on what we have done, the Supreme Being will have a plan.

We have no choice but to swallow this loss.

I just don't know what he's planning.

Things are getting tough!

Given the Supreme Lord's cunning, his schemes will be difficult to counter.

"What should we do then?"

Are we just supposed to sit here and wait?

"There's no other way now."

Unaware of his plans, we were unable to respond.

The Supreme Being probably plans to launch his scheme only after all the sages have gone to the Chaos Realm.

At that time, the means we can use will be very limited.

I wonder how the Supreme Lord's plan compares to the Four Sages' campaign?

That's it!

Now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time.

You should contact Randeng and ask him to prepare to join my Buddhist order.

While we're still in the primordial era, let's get everything done.

This avoids future troubles.

In addition, some arrangements need to be made.

The calamities that will befall Buddhism in the future.

If Buddhism lacks sufficient foundation, a great calamity will inevitably follow its period of prosperity.

If we don't make arrangements, then we can only wait for the will of Heaven to take its course.

However, the tribulations arranged by Heaven are not so easy to overcome.

Just look at the human race.

Before the Great Prosperity, the tribe was almost wiped out by the demon race.

Our Buddhist community cannot afford this price.

We can't let this hard-won foundation be destroyed by some misfortune.

Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti couldn't help but ask, "What are your plans, Senior Brother?"

Jieyin pondered for a moment upon hearing this.

"As your brother, I thought, we should divide this calamity into two steps."

The first step is to arrange the tribulations that will lead to the rise of Buddhism.

This matter must be implemented before Buddhism flourishes.

The second step is the completion of the great tribulation of the Great Prosperity, laying the foundation for the great prosperity of Buddhism.

Then we will start another calamity to solidify the momentum of the flourishing of Buddhism.

We cannot wait until Buddhism declines, only to be passively plunged into calamity like the Chan and Jie sects.

Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti immediately fell silent.

a long time.

Zhunti said, "The arrangement of the calamity is not difficult to handle."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable owes us two karmic debts.

We'll be using one of the lamps to bring the light back to the Buddhist temple later.

As for the remaining one, let the Primordial Celestial Venerable grant me permission for the eastward spread of Buddhism.

Upon hearing this, Jieyin's heart stirred.

The eastward transmission of Buddhism?

If it succeeds, Buddhism will truly flourish.

The key question is, will the Supreme Lord agree?

After a moment's thought, Jieyin voiced his concerns.

"Junior brother!"

If Buddhism can spread to the East, it will indeed greatly promote the prosperity of Buddhism.

but.

The eastward spread of Buddhism involved interests beyond just Yuanshi Tianzun.

Even if we could use cause and effect to get Yuanshi Tianzun to agree.

It won't be easy to explain to the others.

The Supreme Lord wouldn't agree so easily.

And Haotian, he probably won't agree either.

Upon hearing Jieyin's words, Zhunti smiled and said, "Senior brother!"

Both of them are actually quite easy to handle.

Isn't the Supreme Lord plotting against us?

Let him make the plans!

In exchange for tacitly approving his scheme, he agreed to let me spread Buddhism to the East.

As for his plans, we can make adjustments afterward.

Since it's unavoidable anyway, there's no point in worrying about it.

We might as well take this opportunity to exchange it for something else.
