Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 718 Roots
The disasters came and went too suddenly, and it was not until everything was settled that everyone woke up from their dream.

"This……"

"The Taoist Master...became an emperor?

"Spread the Dharma throughout the world and educate all living beings?"

"Humanity, humanity..."

"Good good!"

"No wonder the academy has always been so open to us. It turns out that the Taoist master has this great wish to save the world!"

"From today on, our land of China will have another great sect!"

"The Divine Land is in turmoil, and all living beings are in distress. In this time of turmoil, the Taoist master has established a religion, obeying the will of heaven and responding to the will of the people. He must have good fortune to suppress the turmoil and save the people."

In Wandao City, the noise arose again, and the sound of discussion was like a boiling pot.

It's just that the wind direction has changed, and there is no more worry or hesitation, and all the previous things are not mentioned at all.

"these people……"

"He is really a fence-sitter, he will change his mind if the wind blows!"

"Are you not going to mention the joint petition now?"

"A bunch of opportunists!"

“It’s no wonder that people’s hearts are like this.”

"Let's go back to the academy first. Now that the Taoist master has become an emperor, there must be arrangements in all aspects."

Looking at the change in the wind direction, Ye Xiaofan shook his head and hurried away with a few friends.

On the other side, outside Wandao City, in a small house in the bamboo forest.

"People teach, people teach!"

"It's actually a sect, not an empire?"

"Tao Master..."

The three fairies murmured to themselves, and the two gentlemen, Mei and Lan, were even more dazed.

As true immortals, their vision is far beyond that of ordinary people. Not only do they know the gap between this "sect" and the "empire", but they can also deduce the purpose of establishing the sect and the next actions of the academy from the shallow to the deep.

There is no need to explain the difference between religions and dynasties. Although many emperors emerged after the ancient times and established dynasties to rule the world, the status of the three major religions has never been shaken, and they are existences that all emperors must respect.

As time went by, rumors spread that among the three major sects, in addition to the important artifacts left by the ancient immortals and Buddhas and ancestors of past generations, there was also a powerful foundation comparable to that of earthly immortals, and even immortals and Buddhas and holy spirits hiding among them, who were not inferior to the top emperors, and might even be better.

No one can tell whether the rumor is true or false, but it is a recognized fact that the status of the three major sects is unshakable.

But now this fact, this cognition has been broken.

The academy opens the way and human education is established in the world. It is necessary to compete with immortals, Buddhas and saints to seize the right to educate all living beings.

Just based on this point, the Master of Wandao Sect is far superior to all the emperors in history.

In order to implement the teachings and truly educate all living beings, the next step for the academy is to...

"Two brothers!"

Before they could make up their minds, they were startled back. Mei and Lan turned their heads and saw Zhu Xianren with a serious expression: "Now that the Human Sect has just been established, it is the time to recruit people. If you two brothers don't put aside your grudges and miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

"This……"

Mei and Lan looked at each other with hesitation in their eyes.

Wandao Academy has always been based on the motto of "teaching without distinction" and has been opening its doors wide to all over the years, protecting all living beings during the turmoil.

Now that the tradition of the Humanist religion has been established and the doctrine of "all living beings can become human beings" has been proposed, it goes without saying that what follows is that wars must be fought in all directions, unrest must be suppressed, territory must be expanded, and the teachings of the Humanist religion must be spread throughout China and even the five regions of the world.

As this happens, war is inevitable, and people will be needed in all aspects. Although these True Immortal guests have a special status, if they always stay away from others and are unwilling to contribute, then this special status will not last long.

After all, Wandao Academy does not keep idle people!

Although it is unlikely to recruit them by force, it is inevitable that they will be away from the core and become marginalized. It is even possible to abolish the position of guest officials and revoke the various preferential treatments they currently enjoy.

The Dao domain is vast and it is not easy to live there!
As true immortals, although they have many means to generate revenue, their large family business means that expenses from all aspects cannot be ignored. Whether it is the training of disciples, the maintenance of caves and temples, or their own practice, they all require huge amounts of resources.

If he loses his position as a guest official and the corresponding treatment, even if he is not squeezed out of the Dao domain, he will inevitably have to tighten his belt to make ends meet.

This is only at the moment. No one can guarantee whether there will be greater changes in the market and current affairs, whether the policies of the Wandao Academy will be further adjusted, and ultimately all of these True Immortals who are wandering outside will be expelled from the Dao Realm.

These are unpredictable.

Therefore, Zhuxianren spoke up and asked them to seize this last chance, give up the position of guest official, and devote themselves completely to the academy.

Although joining in at this time is not to provide timely assistance, but rather has a bit of the meaning of opportunism, but now that the human religion is just established, people are needed everywhere, so even if they opportunistic, the treatment will not be too bad, on the contrary, they may become a typical example of "spending a thousand gold to buy a horse's bones" and get the same treatment as the Bamboo Immortal.

This is the last chance.

But they still hesitated.

As true immortals who came from the casual cultivation world, they did not like to be bound by sects, not to mention that there was a small grudge between the Wandao Academy and their four immortals, "Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum". That was their fourth brother, the Immortal Chrysanthemum, who broke the rules of the academy in one incident and was eventually sent to the Immortal Execution Platform to be executed.

Although it is understandable that those who break the law should be punished, this still makes them feel resentful. They are even more resistant to the various regulations of the academy and are unwilling to be bound and shackled by them.

Therefore, they lost their composure when they heard that Zhu Xianren had abandoned his status as a guest official and devoted himself completely to the academy.

But now...

"Brothers, are you still hesitating?"

Seeing the hesitation on the faces of Mei and Lan, Zhu Xianren shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Although the Taoist master has achieved enlightenment, the turmoil in the world has not yet subsided. There must be a great terror behind the dark turmoil, which wants to devour all the people in China and even all the spirits in the world. The Taoist master established a religion to fight for a glimmer of hope for the people."

"My two brothers, you can choose not to join the academy at this time, or even leave the Dao Realm and settle down somewhere else. But when the turmoil intensifies and the source of the disaster behind it is completely revealed, how can the vast Shenzhou rest assured?"

"Under an overturned nest, how can the eggs remain intact? If the academy cannot defeat the source of the disaster, when the turmoil ends and darkness sweeps across the land of China, who can remain unscathed and safe?"

"The stakes are high and it involves life and death. Brothers, don't you understand?"

The Bamboo Immortal spoke continuously, and his words were sincere and earnest.

As true immortals, they have extraordinary vision and know many secrets. Although they are not clear about the things behind this dark turmoil, they can see many clues.

If not for this, there wouldn’t be so many calamity cultivators outside of the Dao Realm, and even True Immortals would sacrifice their lives.

They do this because they know that this dark turmoil must have an end, either the darkness collapses or all living things perish.

The former is needless to say, and the latter is also imaginable, so all parties are so urgent, desperate to plunder resources, strengthen themselves, and seek transcendence. If these guest immortals do not join the academy at this time and help the academy suppress the unrest, then when the academy is defeated by the source of the unrest in the future, and darkness completely covers Shenzhou, who among them can remain unscathed?

As a true immortal, don't you understand the benefits and disadvantages of this?

"It is my foolish brother who is short-sighted!"

After hearing what Zhuxianren said, Meixianren also sighed, stood up and held Zhuxianren's hand: "Don't worry, my dear brother, I will go to the academy right away, and we brothers will advance and retreat together!"

"Brother!"

Seeing that Meixianren had changed his attitude, Zhuxianren also breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled, saying, "There's no need to be so anxious. The Taoist master is establishing a religion and preaching the Dharma this time to recruit talents from all over the world, to strengthen the academy, and to prepare for war. It will take at least a hundred years. We can contact friends from all sides to join us, so that we can also make some contributions."

"Good good!"

"Third brother, what you said is very wonderful!"

"I'll post the message right now!"

"..."

This kind of scene is not only happening in the small building in the bamboo forest, but also in all the major caves and temples in the Taoist realm.

The wind direction suddenly changed, and everything changed!
At the same time, in Wandao Academy.

The loud sound resounds, revealing the truth and preaching the true teachings of Taoism.

Xu Yang transformed himself, sat on a high altar, and preached, while the original deity returned to his bedroom.

When it comes to preaching, the emphasis is on starting from the simple and gradually moving on to the complex. It would take quite a while for the Immortals from all directions and the cultivators from all over the world to arrive, so there is no need for him to show up in person now. An incarnation can just recite the scriptures.

When all the practitioners have gathered together and have attained a deep understanding of the Tao, it will be just in time for the deity to appear again.

He would use this time to consolidate his cultivation, take stock of his gains, and formulate the next strategy.

There is no need to say much about his cultivation. With the status of a celestial immortal in the Xuanhuang Realm and the Supreme Dao Fruit, his foundation is extremely solid. This time he has gone through three catastrophes, achieved perfect merit, and attained enlightenment. Even if his cultivation is at normal level and he does not use a series of "plug-ins" such as Jiuyi Tianzun, he can suppress all the earthly immortals in the same realm, including the ancient emperor who has also attained enlightenment.

Unless the immortal appears, no one can defeat him. This is how he is described at this moment.

The harvest should be described in detail.

This time he had three major gains.

The first is to improve your cultivation, break through your realm, and achieve enlightenment at the pinnacle.

The second is to establish a religion, to achieve harmony between heaven and man, and to gain merit and virtue.

The third is the ultimate confrontation, severely damaging the enemy and seizing the initiative.

The first one has been mentioned, no need to say more.

The emphasis is on the second and third.

To establish a religion and bring harmony between heaven and man, you will gain great merits!
This was not the first time Xu Yang had experienced this. He had experienced it once in the Blue Star Realm, as the "Lord of Disaster!"

To put it bluntly, the reason behind this is to paint a big picture for the way of heaven.

If Heaven takes a bite of this pie and approves of your doctrines and ideas, it will give you luck and merit as an initial investment. And as you act and practice your doctrines and ideas, this investment will increase, and the luck and merit you gain will become more and more abundant.

Just by drawing a big pie in the sky, one can get such a return. It is such an easy and profitable thing, but few people have done it throughout history. Including him, there are only four people who have done it.

Why is this? Don’t others want to do it?

No, they can't do it!
Drawing big rosy pictures is a skill, and drawing big rosy pictures for the heavens is an even greater skill.

This is just like a bank loan. You are a beggar with nothing, and you can expect the bank to lend you money with just a few words?

So, it’s not that others don’t want to do it, but that they have no way to do it.

Not to mention earthly immortals, even for celestial immortals, it is not easy to establish a religious sect recognized by heaven and earth.

Xu Yang is not a celestial being. The reason why he was able to establish his own religious tradition is the result of various factors coming together.

The first is the right time, right place and right people. This must be done at the right time. For example, like in the Blue Star Realm, when alien worlds invade and foreign demons attack, the conditions for "lending" by the Heavenly Dao will be greatly reduced.

Under such a situation, let alone earthly immortals, even human immortals, and even those below human immortals, can use methods such as "great wish to save the world" to make promises to the Heavenly Dao, gain merits and be protected by good fortune.

Although there is no foreign invasion in Shenzhou now, the source of the unrest is the celestial beings from the upper realm. It is an internal conflict, but an internal conflict is still a conflict, just like a board of directors. If a major shareholder wants to swallow up other small shareholders, he will definitely be resisted by others.

So at this time, the conditions for borrowing money from the Heavenly Dao were lowered a bit, allowing Xu Yang, as an earthly immortal, to establish a religious tradition that a celestial immortal might not be able to establish.

This is the right time, the right place and the right people. Apart from that, there is also a little external effect, the Supreme Way and the return of all things to the origin, plus the Supreme Way fruit of the Xuanhuang Realm and his own understanding, all these factors combined together led to the establishment of this human religion.

Very difficult.

But he did it.

All that is left is to implement the teachings, and then your merits and fortune will continue to deepen, and you will be treated as the "protagonist of heaven and earth". Everything you do will be successful, and in the end you may even be able to achieve great success, become a celestial being, or even the throne of the Emperor of Heaven.

This is also the key to Xu Yang's breakthrough against the enemy!
The dark turmoil and the great catastrophe of China, the mastermind behind this has been basically confirmed to be the evil star at the end of the ancient times, a celestial immortal who fell from the sky.

According to the memory of the grey-clothed old ape, this celestial being was also the one that looked down upon the crowd and stood at the top in the upper realm. If he had not offended the public and attracted the siege of the major sects in the upper realm, including Taixuan Taoist Patriarch, Dafan Buddha Patriarch, and the great celestial beings including the sage of Confucianism, there would have been no possibility of his fall.

Xu Yang speculated that he was most likely at the same level as the Emperor of Heaven in the Xuanhuang Realm and Mara, the Lord of the Desire Realm, and that they both possessed some of the power of the Golden Immortals through their celestial bodies.

And what happened today further proves this point.

He actually interfered with his own tribulation!
This is an extremely incredible thing. After all, the way of heaven is fair and selfless. Even if there is a thunder and lightning test, there is a chance of survival, and there will not be a situation where there is no chance of survival.

But with his intervention, his own earthly immortal tribulation was raised to such a level that even the chaos divine thunder came out. If he did not have the "plug-in" to rely on, he would have been reduced to ashes and dead by now.

Being able to do this has already surpassed the boundaries of celestial immortals and is the power of a golden immortal.

This sounds a bit strange. Since he has the power of a Golden Immortal, why doesn't he just come and kill him directly, but instead does something with the heavenly tribulation?
This is not difficult to understand. The power of the Golden Immortal is just a general description. For example, judging from the attribute panel on Xu Yang's body, his status is definitely not lower than that of the Golden Immortal, judging from its various performances. But can Xu Yang use it to kill the enemy directly?

No, it doesn't have such function!
The same goes for the other party. The power of the Golden Immortal that is the source of the unrest may only work at the level of heaven and cannot directly kill the enemy.

Xu Yang characterized it as the "auxiliary" power of the Golden Immortal. It was not as direct as that of the Emperor Qiong Gao and the Mara Po Xun, but it was enough to make the source of the unrest surpass the immortals of the same realm.

Unfortunately, he was only superior, not invincible. In the end, he aroused public anger and was defeated by the major celestial immortals in the upper realm. He turned into a demon star and fell into China. Although he did not die, he was seriously injured.

Now he is facing Xu Yang, pushing the heavenly calamity and blocking the way, but he is defeated by Xu Yang with the Supreme Way.

The laws of nature are clear and fair. If he intervenes forcefully like this, even if he has the power of a golden immortal, he will suffer backlash after his failure, it's just a matter of how much.

In this case, Xu Yang estimated that his current condition was not optimistic, and the injuries that had already recovered might be at risk of worsening.

So... take advantage of his illness to kill him?
