Taoist Master Xuanhuang

Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that almost all of them are related to the concept of "xuanhuang" (玄黄).

There's nothing we can do about it. If Xuanhuang hadn't created the cultivation system, cultivation wouldn't exist in this world at all.

Only the spiritual master can navigate the strange and arduous journey.

Xuanhuang established a cultivation system, which all living beings in this world will imitate and learn from.

Some students did well and their learning was quite positive, while others were indescribable. It is always more difficult to walk the right path than to walk the wrong path.

There was a price to pay, but it doesn't matter anymore.

Like the evil Buddha, the treacherous patriarch, and that group of calamity-bringing scholars.
Are they still considered living beings in the full sense? Do they still possess their own independent intelligence?

Is it still considered a living being in the purest sense?

That's no longer the case; their own souls are in complete disarray, their chaotic reasoning filled with many confused thoughts.

Even if someone believes themselves to be the main soul, they may no longer be the original main soul and may have been altered.

It's not how a normal living being should behave; it's in a daze all day long, caught in a struggle between chaos and reason.

The retribution, or the consequences, has already occurred, but the harm they have caused to the world is real and difficult to reverse in a short period of time.

Each of these realms controls a vast area and governs the death of countless beings. Even a madman would find it difficult to describe them; a madman without reason would be more suitable.

The Buddhist sect, after much deliberation, did not challenge the realm of illusion.

Instead, they targeted an evil Buddha within a miniature realm.

A tiny, unparalleled realm, within which only one evil Buddha was conceived.

His strength is also very low, only at the early stage of King level.

It's a realm that was discovered before it could even develop, and it didn't have time to grow stronger, so targeting such an evil Buddha was the most suitable option.

Even if such a boundary is destroyed, Buddhism has a way to deal with it.

Long ago, the Buddhist community painstakingly built a pagoda.

This dates back to the early stages of their Buddhist practice, when they had just established their sect.

At that time, blessing methods and secret mantras had just appeared, and the Buddhist community mobilized the energy of its entire force to build them.

With various mantras and blessings, this pagoda is no longer a simple pagoda.

Don't forget the merits and good fortune of Buddhism as well.

The Buddhist sect is indeed unable to forge a fourth-tier magic weapon, mainly due to insufficient cultivation.

However, weapon crafting is not limited to crafting; there are other methods as well.

One of them is through blessing and mantras.

Then, luck and merit are even more of a great blessing, turning decay into legend.

Today, this pagoda still carries the fortune of Buddhism and is a precious treasure of Buddhist destiny.

Twenty years ago, it was already enhanced to the fourth tier, and after twenty years, it probably has the ability of the mid-fourth tier.

With such a stupa in existence, killing a saint would be no difficult task.

The only difficulty is that this evil Buddha is hiding inside and won't come out; if that's the case, there's no way to deal with it.

Even a miniature realm has an origin that has reached the level of a fifth-order Venerable, which cannot be destroyed by a mid-fourth-order magic weapon.

A plan is needed.

Setting up such a plan is very easy for Buddhism.

It can be said that, apart from the realms of Buddhas, demons, and evil spirits that they cannot deal with, Buddhism has long been preparing for the evil spirits that they can deal with.

As one of the top four, it is unacceptable to lack this kind of forward-thinking approach.

They had already thoroughly understood the realms they could deal with.

Unlike the Martial Arts Alliance, there is no evil predecessor to compare with.

You can't just call someone who has become a martial arts master a senior of the Martial Arts Alliance because they've fallen into demonic possession.

The Martial Arts Alliance is not an ancient and long-standing religion; it was established after the emergence of the Dao Master, and therefore has no historical issues.

There are historical issues surrounding Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism.

A group of wicked scholars and intellectuals would naturally be considered to be at fault by the Confucian school.

Similarly, a group of wicked monks would be considered to be at fault for Buddhism.

The same applies to the Taoist sects; they can't escape it either.

By drawing upon the accumulated wisdom of the three religions over thousands of years, we must also bear the negative impact of nearly a thousand years.

It's impossible to only seek the benefits while ignoring the drawbacks; all living beings would disagree.

For this reason.

The three religions understood long ago that some of their heretical predecessors were their own responsibility, the evil side derived from their doctrines, and a source of harm.

Sooner or later it will all be my own problem, so I started planning very early.

The Martial Arts Alliance can freely choose which deities have fallen into demonic possession, but they don't have that right, so they can only start by targeting their own people.

If you can't even handle your internal problems, how can you be qualified to handle external problems?

Therefore, after gaining this understanding, the three religions began to take action long ago, starting to intervene in the demonic and sacred realms that they could deal with.

For example, eradicating the target micro-level evil Buddha.

They had long ago secretly instructed the 'traitor' to collude with the evil Buddha.

The word "traitor" is in quotes because it was deliberately ordered to do so by the higher-ups in Buddhism, so that they wouldn't be at a loss for what to do one day.

The monk who corresponds to the miniature realm of the Enlightenment Realm, the evil Buddha, is called the Meditation Monk.

Soon, the monk Jingguan was summoned over.

When Minghui said it was time to act, he understood.

My task of working on the undercover storyline is finally coming to an end.

Soon, Monk Jingguan secretly arrived outside the Wuchan Realm, forming a hand seal—a seal that secretly connected him with the Wuchan Evil Buddha.

"Didn't we say not to contact each other recently? Why are you here?" Wu Chan Xie Fo was still very cautious.

"Master, this is terrible! The Buddhist sect wants to kill a holy being to establish its authority, and your name is on their list." Jingguan looked very flustered.

"What? How is that possible? I'm very careful." Wu Chan Xie Fo panicked as well.

I have my own name, and I'm very low-key and careful.

"Did you betray me? Did you?" Wu Chan Xie Fo roared.

"Master, please calm down. How could I betray you? If I betrayed you, would I even survive?" Jing Guan looked like a frightened little beast.

As a supporting character, he is very good at acting.

Without this talent, one wouldn't be recruited by headquarters as a covert agent.

"Hmph, I know you wouldn't dare!" Upon hearing this, Wu Chan Xie Fo calmed down.

Indeed, he had been exposed, and the young monk Jingguan couldn't escape either. He was just a heretical Buddhist, while the monk had betrayed Buddhism.

The evil may not be as great as one's own, but the disgust one feels towards Buddhism is greater than one's own.

If you can't survive yourself, then the little monk won't escape either.

"Why is the host's name on it?" Wu Chan asked.

"Um, this." Jingguan stammered.

"Speak!" Wu Chan Xie Fo threatened, carrying immense pressure.

"Master, please don't be angry. I went to great lengths to find out that the list of those the Buddhist sect wants to use to establish its authority only includes the weakest and easiest to deal with. You, although you are great, unfortunately you were born in a tiny realm... I don't think it's your fault, Master. I know your talent and ability, but the realm you are in..."

Jing Guan tried to find fault and exonerate Wu Chan, the evil Buddha.

But the meaning is clear: it's because you're bad at the game.

Because he was too bad, he was selected for the list of those who want to establish their authority.

"This is outrageous! Isn't this bullying honest people? Is there no Buddhism here? Is there no reason to talk about anything?" Wu Chan Xie Fo was immediately enraged.

I felt angry and frustrated because I was weak, so I became a target for their authority.

How can a person be so shameless?

At this moment, the double standards are on full display. He can bully the weak without any guilt, but other strong people cannot bully him, the weak one.

Otherwise, it would be shameless and bullying honest people.

"This, this, this..." Jing Guan's acting was superb, and he looked very flustered.

"You can't do that. You have to find a way to remove my name, otherwise you won't be able to escape even if I die."

Wu Chan, the evil Buddha, couldn't solve the problem on his own, so he could only try to find a solution by threatening Jing Guan.

He didn't want to die; he was unwilling to accept it.

"Master, what can I do?" Despite being completely bewildered.

"I don't care. Either we die together, or you figure out how to solve this. You decide."

That's a classic, I don't care, you figure it out.

"You, you?" Observing the excellent performance, it was impossible to tell that it was acting.

He feigned anger and said, "I told you long ago not to take that kind of shortcut. Our Buddhist teachings are vast and there are righteous ways to cultivate, but you didn't listen. Evil paths may be fast, but what about the risks? If you had listened to me back then, none of this would have happened today. If you had listened to me, you could now freely enter the headquarters and study the vast Buddhist teachings."

He watched quietly, then pretended to scold her.

If you criticize or insult the other person at this time, they won't really get angry.

"How can that be the same? Putting aside the facts, let's just talk about how fast my secret techniques are progressing."

"you!?"

Even though it was all an act, I was truly horrified by this shamelessness.

What a fine line: "How can they be the same?" What a fine line: "Leaving aside the facts," is that even human language?

The advice given to Wuchan to do good, to lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot—I've observed that some people have actually done these things.

It is also a task assigned to them by the Buddhist community: to educate these unorthodox and heretical Buddhists, and to reform them so that they may atone for their sins.

Self-redemption is the best course of action.

They will only infiltrate as spies if the best strategy fails.

Jingguan had advised Wuchan more than once, urging him to repent and turn over a new leaf, and not to engage in any evil or crooked ways.

But Wu Chan wouldn't listen; he didn't want to walk the right path, and he didn't want to properly cultivate the righteous way.

It was absolutely not due to the instigation of Jingguan or the Buddhist headquarters, nor was it because they were initially identified as evil Buddhists that they remained evil Buddhists for life.

As long as these heretical Buddhists can change and show remorse, Buddhism is willing to help them reform and guide them onto the right path.

As for the results?
Very few, extremely few, practically negligible. Apart from one or two individuals who are educated and reformed, the vast majority remain inherently bad.

The cicada is an example of this.

I never consider myself evil, never think I'm wrong, and never think I'm hypocritical.

"Little monk, it's useless to scold me. We're all in the same boat. You'd better find a way to remove me from the list."

Wu Chan found a shameless path that shameless people could easily find.

That means forcing others to solve the problem.

"Although I provided you with a lot of flesh and blood, what I provided were all the flesh and blood of demonic beasts and ferocious monsters. Even if you report me, I think, I think..."

Watch as someone seems flustered and tries to excuse themselves, but don't act too absolutely; leave room for suspicion.

"Haha, what are you explaining? Who are you explaining to? This host? Haha..."

Wu Chan was neither worried nor angry. On the contrary, the more the little monk acted this way, the less worried he became.

"Do you think the filthy Buddhist sect can explain this to you? They only have hypocritical justice. Anything that doesn't conform to their view of justice is evil. Don't you understand? If you were so pure, would you have colluded with this abbot? Hahaha... This abbot is dying of laughter."

"You...I...you're talking nonsense!" Jing Guan seemed to have broken down.

"Hmph, you know whether I'm lying or not. You've consumed plenty of the flesh and blood essence I refined, haven't you? Your rapid progress, reaching the late stage of the first level among the Jing generation, is a gift from this abbot. Can you escape these things?"

"I...I!" Jingguan was speechless.

The Dharma of Monk Wuchan is a heretical path of flesh and blood. Of course, it should not be compared with that of the Ghostly Dao Ancestor, as they are not on the same level.

The Demonic Dao Ancestor is at the sixth level, while he is only at the early stage of the fourth level.

As for why, even after purifying so much flesh and blood essence, it's still only at the fourth level?
That depends on his physique. Although he is a saint, his physical strength, that is, his body refinement level, has actually reached the mid-stage of the third tier.

In other words, in addition to his fourth-order divine abilities, he also possesses third-order physical strength when he goes out.

He is a cautious and careful person.

I recognized long ago that the origin of the realm was a prison that bound me.

The ultimate goal is to get rid of it.

A more realistic goal is to gradually become stronger and acquire our own abilities step by step.

So he staked his bets on his own body.

They dared not raise their sacred level at all, fearing that the more they raised it, the more entangled they would become with the origin of the realm, and the more trapped they would be.

Therefore, the weaker the Wuchan Realm is, the better. It's best not to grow or develop it, but to always maintain the weakest micro-realm level. That would be ideal.

This way, it will be easier for you to get rid of it in the future.

That's what he thought, and that's what he did.

As for how it was done, to put it simply, life always finds a way.

Every living being may seem weak, but they are all unique and strive hard to survive.

In short, he has a way, so he will only increase the strength of the physical body, not add to the foundation of the realm's origin.

"Little monk, it's not that I'm threatening you, but I have no other choice. As long as we get through this calamity, we can continue to cooperate and have a brighter future. Don't ruin your own life!"

Ultimately, we still need to observe and think of a solution. After explaining things clearly, Wu Chan Xie Fo began to speak more gently.

"I understand, I'll think of a way."

Jingguan walked away looking very flustered.

After he left, Wu Chan fell into deep thought. How could someone like him place all his hopes on others? He also needed to think of a way.

Fight for your own life.

"This is terrible, terrible! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have been so cautious. If I had improved my Zen Realm abilities a little, I wouldn't have been considered weak and easy to bully... This damn world is still the same. Whoever is weak gets bullied. It's truly despicable!"

Wu Chan regretted it too late.

If I had known better, I would have managed the territory better, and then I wouldn't have been treated like the easiest target.

He believed that this was due to his own mistake.
