Taoist Master Xuanhuang

"Master, this man shows no remorse whatsoever. He has repeatedly threatened us without any remorse. He has become too deeply corrupted to be redeemed. We can take action now."

Jingguan, who had returned to the Buddhist temple, reported the plan.

This was a plan, and also the last test. The result of the test was that Wu Chan Xie Fo was beyond redemption.

“In that case, let’s proceed. Are you ready? This plan is dangerous,” Minghui said.

"Amitabha Buddha, if I don't go to hell, who will?"

Jingguan said nothing more.

But this sentence says it all.

The risk to lur a demonic saint out is very high for him as a 'spy'.

We can't guarantee when Wu Chan Xie Fo will go berserk; kill him first.

"Amitabha." Minghui clasped her hands together in a gesture of respect.

Mingxin Jingnian is of the Ming generation, while Jingguan is of the Jing generation. So, they should call him their grandmaster.

But at this moment, Minghui bowed to a junior of the Jing generation. The Buddhist community has experienced many hardships, and it is because of people like this that it can move forward with difficulty through one storm after another.

He then quietly left and began to proceed according to plan.

the other side.

"Lord of the Underworld, everything we have said is true. We dare not conceal anything. Please take us in."

Today, a group of very special guests arrived at the headquarters of the subordinate monks.

They were all travel-worn and their faces were full of worry. They entered the main hall and bowed down as if they were facing the most critical moment.

The leader was none other than the Grand Alliance Master, who, forced by the Holy One, had no choice but to seek refuge with the alien forces of the subordinate cultivators.

"Get up, speak slowly and don't rush. The subordinate camp is a place that is willing to uphold justice and also a place that cares for the weak. Speak your thoughts slowly."

The ghost ship glanced at Liu Wenhe, the sweeping monk, and others not far away.

After receiving everyone's nods, he opened his mouth to speak.

"Yes!" The Grand Alliance Leader and his group stood up.

At this point, the sweeping monk began to ask questions.

"You could actually... seek out a true cultivator?" the sweeping monk asked tentatively.

"Reporting to the Venerable Monk, we did consider it, but the Holy One insisted on forcing us to undergo the Dao Heart Experiment, leaving us with no other choice... Furthermore, in front of you all, we dare not conceal the fact that we were young and impetuous, and uttered some shameless words. Even if you venerable cultivators are magnanimous and do not hold it against us, we are still filled with unbearable guilt... After much deliberation, we have decided that our subordinate camp, under the leadership of you divine lords, will be just, selfless, and determined to make progress..."

There are almost no lies; there is no such thing as nine parts truth and one part falsehood.

Aside from a slight deviation in rhetoric, there is not a single lie.

They understand their situation, and the safest course of action at this time is to tell the truth and not lie.

Even if it deceives the great gods, it sows the seeds of future crisis, which is not the act of a wise person.

The best way is to tell the truth.

"Hmm!" The ghost ship nodded, but didn't say anything.

The sweeping monk continued, "I see. I'm sorry to have troubled you. Being young and impetuous is not terrible; what is terrible is not knowing how to repent. The fact that you can repent shows that you have grown up. As long as you grow, you are rare talents."

The sweeping monk affirmed their abilities.

The question now is whether or not to accept them.

List both the advantages and disadvantages. If the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, accept it; if the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, then decide based on the situation.

After careful consideration, it seems that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

The true cultivators are still powerful and need to unite all forces that can be united, and most importantly, they must also take into account the Daoist Master's ideals.

They understood the Daoist philosophy very well.

Why is the Daoist Master promoting such a major trend?
It cannot be said that the Lord is dissatisfied with the actions of the true cultivators, but rather that the times require reform and a stage of self-revolution.

It can be said that most of the genuine cultivators are good, but that cannot prevent the emergence of a few petty and corrupt individuals.

This is unavoidable.

However, don't panic if it happens; it would be strange if it didn't. The development of a world always faces tests, and that's the reality.

An Eden-like world is just a beautiful fantasy; it doesn't exist in reality.

When problems arise, solve them; dissatisfaction and complaints are useless.

Just like now, if there are pests or obstacles, don't be afraid. Just knock them down and sweep them away.

A change in the protagonist of the world stage can bring about change and sweep away the dust.

Drive the trend, let a new group replace another old group, and in the process, eliminate those parasites and cancerous growths.

Moreover, it has already begun. The mental tribulation is the first step. Some who have entered the tribulation can overcome it, but most will disappear.

They are the knives that the Daoist Master uses to cleanse away the malignant tumors.

They must understand this point; it is the Daoist Master's philosophy, and this cannot be shaken.

The world today is rife with injustices, darkness, and man-made cliffs; resources and wealth are monopolized, and the structure of the pyramids is beyond description.

It's understandable that powerful cultivators control powerful resources, but what about those who aren't powerful but rely on their faction and unjust means to seize a lot of resources?
You must understand that in a world where cultivation is truly possible, in a world where the Dao mind and will are at the core.

Having enormous resources does not guarantee dominance.

Cultivation requires resources, but the most important things are talent and willpower.

Once you lose your way, it's useless to possess more resources, and obsessively acquiring more resources is proof that your heart has lost its way.

Just like the disciples of Xuanhuang, and some truly powerful individuals.

They may seem to have no shortage of resources, but they don't really have much possessiveness. If they do, it will definitely be a burden and an obstacle to their cultivation.

If you can't even control your own mind, how can you cultivate yourself or make progress?

A master who is dressed in rags but is determined to pursue the Tao will definitely achieve more than a parasite who is rich and powerful and occupies a lot of resources.

In this extraordinary world, resources alone are not enough to conquer it.

Cultivation requires a spiritual heart and willpower.

Truly strong individuals don't care about resources; enough is enough, and icing on the cake is fine.

A lost cultivator will greedily seize massive amounts of resources.

In other words, they do not believe that the most crucial factor for progress in cultivation is their own will and Dao heart, but rather that resources are the most critical factor.

This is a misinterpretation of the scriptures.

This understanding might be correct for some worlds. However, the cultivation system established by Xuanhuang is not like that.

Talent, aptitude, willpower, and Daoist heart are always the most crucial factors for the progress of Xuanhuang Daoist methods, but resources are the only thing that is lacking.

Looking back to the very beginning, when Xuanhuang started out, what resources did they have?

It's simply turning waste into treasure.

Through his perseverance and talent, he turned enemies and all things in the world into resources.

The bizarre is the most important building material of the Xuanhuang World. The cultivator world is so successful today because of the bizarre's 'hard work and dedication'.

He also sacrificed himself to achieve Xuanhuang and the cultivation world.

This is the kind of cultivation advocated by Xuanhuang.

Because the universe has a source, he believed that this was the greatest origin of all things in the world.

In other words, only those who align with his ideals can ultimately succeed.

Those who do not conform to his philosophy will find it useless to possess more resources; in the end, it will all be for naught.

This is the influence of the law having a source.

Based on the principles of Xuanhuang, all those who are corrupt within the true cultivation forces, as well as all those who possess possessions that do not conform to these principles, can be called corrupt individuals. They all need to be eliminated.

As the most precious treasure of Xuanhuang, how could Ghost Ship and the others not understand?

To be fair, I myself was transformed from a pile of junk into a supreme treasure by the master; my origins were merely fragments of strange rules.

Unlike now, when cultivators have so many resources, they're still just so-so.

If our lord had had such a vast amount of resources back then, it would probably have been much easier to forge such treasures as ours.

Moreover, once the refining is complete, it's all up to oneself; there's absolutely no way to amass massive amounts of resources.

The treasures can say that everything they have today is thanks to their own efforts, apart from the master's crafting.

Therefore, change is about clearing away the gloom and returning to the right path.

While the true cultivators may appear to be divided and chaotic, their power remains strong, and the key is to unite all those who can be united.

This group of alien beings can be united.

The cost is actually very small.

Isn't this just the hostility of true cultivators?
As people born to overthrow the rule of the true cultivators, are they afraid of the true cultivators' hostility?
Not only are they not afraid, they will also win over true cultivators and turn them into their own people.

Besides, while true cultivators appear to be a group, they are actually quite scattered and not very united.

True cultivator is just a general term; many of those who joined the subordinate camp were originally true cultivators.

Furthermore, there is a significant difference between ourselves and true cultivators.

True cultivation is about pursuing self-independence, while subordinate cultivation, to put it nicely, is a religious practice.

It's still a very toxic monotheistic religion.

Each subordinate cultivator has their own divine master, and once they join, they are unable to leave for life, which is equivalent to being bound by identity.

To put it more evilly, it means surrendering everything to a so-called god.

If viewed without bias, they are actually no different from the evil Buddhas of the Illusionary Heart Realm and the eccentric Taoists of the Devious Path Realm.

It's nothing more than blatant cannibalism there, while the gods of the subordinate camp don't eat people, they only consume their insights and wisdom.

This is much more sophisticated.

Looking at it on a larger scale, isn't the Heavenly Way of the world just a series of gods, evil Buddhas, and evil paths?

It also consumes the wisdom and civilization of living beings, takes civilization as its substance, and evolves through civilization.

In the eyes of evil Buddhas and wicked cultists, Xuanhuang is no exception; he is just like them.

Because of this difference, true cultivation can be understood as an independent individual.

Subordinate cultivators are designated as subordinates, meaning they cannot betray or lose control.

There has always been some distance between the main lineage of humans and the branch lineages of humans.

The main human race is very strict in their defenses against them.

The reason I don't want beings from other realms to come into contact with the true cultivation methods is that they are different from me.

Subordinate factions don't have this problem; once you join, you can only learn the laws of the major gods and lords, and won't be involved in the fundamental laws of the Dao Lord.

Therefore, they have no restrictions on recruiting cultivators, regardless of whether you are from a branch or the main lineage. Once you join, you are part of their lineage.

Moreover, my method is not the fundamental method of the Dao, but one I created myself, and I can pass it on to whomever I want.

This is what makes things most convenient for them, and it's also where they have absolutely no scruples.

So the ghost ship was tempted.

Another point is that they are not human beings; they are treasures, two kinds of life forms completely different from humans.

Humanity is divided into main branches and sub-branches; what does that have to do with them? They're all just human beings.

They don't care about aptitude at all; the aptitude of the main human lineage is just so-so, and can't compare to that of their brothers and sisters at all.

Why bother distinguishing between main branches and branch lines? Is it really necessary? They're already so weak and pitiful, why bother with this and that?

It can only be said that many of humanity's behaviors seem very confusing, or even ridiculous, to beings from different perspectives.

……

The summons to the Grand Alliance Leader and others was merely a routine matter; they had already discussed it beforehand.

It's simply to appear more attentive and to show that you're kind and generous.

We took you in; you should be grateful.

"Have you all thought this through? Once you join the subordinate camp, you will become subordinate cultivators, not inheritors of any past power?"

The sweeping monk said, "We're proceeding according to plan."

"We were arrogant and conceited before, and now we regret it too late. Fortunately, we have been taken in by you esteemed lords. We no longer have any thoughts of succession. Before, we were like frogs at the bottom of a well... presumptuously trying to understand everything in the main world. Now we see how laughable we were. We join the subordinate camp with sincerity and are willing to swear an oath..."

Hearing what the sweeping monk said, they knew they had made the right bet.

My heart can finally rest easy. We've finally weathered this crisis, and my joy is beyond words.

The Sweeping Monk meant that if you join a subordinate camp, you'll lose your status as descendants of a powerful force.

They said they no longer cared; they were previously narrow-minded and thought that what they inherited was the greatest, and everything else was worthless.

Now I realize that what I inherited before was rubbish, and it can't compare to the three invincible techniques at all.

Not to mention the three invincible techniques, even the techniques of the God Lords are far superior to the techniques I inherited.

I didn't understand before, but now I want to be a good person.

As for the heirs of powerful forces, a fallen phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken.

If the predecessors were still alive, they could bask in the glory of being the successors of a great power.

But all the predecessors are gone, so what is there left for me to hold on to?
This is not ingratitude, but rather a wise person who knows when to yield.

People cannot live in past glory, especially since there was no glory for them to bask in; it was just a misguided fantasy from their previous limited perspective.

"Well, in that case, I, the God Lord, agree."

The ghost ship then spoke.

"Thank you, Lord God!"

The various foreign forces immediately bowed in worship.

"However, there are some things I need to explain to you."

The ghost ship changed its tone.

Their hearts, which had settled, were now on edge again.

"Your joining of the subordinate faction is not about joining my Abyss lineage, but about your own choice to join whichever lineage suits you best. It is not exclusive to my Abyss lineage. Do you understand?"

"Phew!" The Grand Alliance Leader and the others breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out to be a good thing.

I thought I would have to pay some kind of price.

That's right, the Ghost Ship Lord is just the leader, the one in the open.

The subordinate faction has never been simply the Abyss lineage, but is composed of gods such as the Dream God, Azure Cloud God, White Bone God, Void God, Ghost God, and Azure Lotus God.

This is what constitutes a complete subordinate camp.

Joining based on one's own preferences, that is, joining based on one's own talents.

Not all cultivators are suited to follow the Abyss lineage.

Some are suited for sword cultivation, some for the second dantian, and some...
