Wandering Movies

World wars are extremely brutal, and once they begin, no one can remain uninvolved.

Even a saint as powerful as he is will perish along with the world when it falls.

But once victory is achieved, every living being will benefit.

Even an ant in the world can have its intelligence and physical abilities enhanced by the increase in the world's spiritual energy.

The victorious "Lotus Lantern World" is rapidly expanding its influence to every corner of the prehistoric world, taking over its spoils.

It is easy to share hardship, but difficult to share wealth and honor; this is also true among immortals and gods.

At this moment, the Buddhist sect, the Taoist sect, and the Heavenly Court are clashing over the struggle for territory.

but,

Because the "Primordial World" was a large enough pie, the conflict that erupted between them was temporarily suppressed, and they decided to subdue other places first.

While there were constant frictions between the disciples of the sage, the sage himself was in a harmonious atmosphere.

They quickly arrived in hyperspace.

At this point, the hyperdimensional space has been visualized.

The hyperdimensional space transformed into a purple palace standing between nothingness and reality.

That was the primordial Daoist temple—Zixiao Palace.

The moment the saints stepped onto the plaza of Zixiao Palace, the tightly closed gates of Zixiao Palace slowly opened.

"Disciple greets Master!"

May the teacher live a long and healthy life!

The Three Pure Ones of Taoism, the Two Saints of Buddhism, Haotian, and Yaochi respectfully bowed to the prayer mat on the platform at the head of the table in front of Zixiao Palace.

"No need for formalities!"

At some unknown time, Hongjun's figure appeared on the prayer mat in front of the saints.

"teacher!"

"This time we conquered this other world, and my disciples also contributed a lot. I wonder if Master could bestow some merit upon us?" Daoist Zhunti immediately stepped forward, wanting to ask Hongjun for merit.

He was not asking for himself, but for the sake of his disciples.

“Junior Brother Zhunti, defeating the alien invasion this time is a matter for all of us. There’s no question of whether we’re contributing or not.”

Yuanshi Tianzun opposed Hongjun bestowing the power of merit upon Buddhism.

His opposition would certainly deprive his disciples of the opportunity to gain merit, but it was worthwhile for him.

His core disciples were originally only the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and half of them followed Daoist Ran Deng to join the Buddhist sect. As for the remaining disciples, apart from Huang Long, the merit they gained only accelerated their accumulation; attaining sainthood remained a distant dream and did not bring any substantial improvement.

Conversely, followers of Western religions, upon acquiring the power of merit, immediately experience tremendous benefits. Buddhists, too, can rapidly advance their Buddhist golden bodies through the power of merit, strengthening their three internal organs (body, speech, and mind). After this strengthening, Buddhist disciples are no longer among the weakest of the saints' disciples.

Most importantly, Jieyin and Zhunti accumulated a massive amount of merit in order to become saints. If the burden on Jieyin and Zhunti were reduced, it would be troublesome for them.

"Yes!"

"This is simply a matter of classification; there's no question of whether we should contribute or not," said the Jade Emperor.

Although the Three Pure Ones of Taoism looked down on the Jade Emperor, it was ultimately just a conflict of attitudes, and there was no real dispute between them.

However, there is a real conflict of interest between Buddhism and the Heavenly Court, as they both rely heavily on incense offerings and faith.

Therefore, the Jade Emperor also supported the opinion of the Primordial Heavenly Lord at this time. A trace of unwillingness flashed in Zhunti's eyes. Looking at the current situation, he knew that his goal had failed.

Jieyin's gaze swept over Tongtian, Yuanshi, and Haotian for a moment before he immediately addressed Hongjun, saying, "Teacher!"

"Through this battle in another world, I have come to realize the shortcomings of cultivators in our world, and we almost suffered a great loss."

"Therefore, I suggest that the Jie Sect be restored. Any former disciples of the Jie Sect who wish to return to the Jie Sect may freely choose to stay or leave."

Upon hearing this, the Three Pure Ones' expressions immediately changed.

The relationship that had just been repaired immediately cracked again, and even the gaze of the Jade Emperor changed.

Ultimately, the Three Pure Ones were about establishing a religion and becoming saints; their sect was their foundation.

While a fight between sages wouldn't completely destroy their lineage, it would prevent it from developing further.

Those who established their religions and became saints could not develop their sects, and their future was essentially cut off.

At this moment, Jieyin proposed to restore the Jie Sect. How could Tongtian not be tempted?

Hongjun did indeed unravel the Investiture of the Gods before, but his status as a disciple ultimately belonged to the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect. Now that Jieyin had taken the initiative to offer his services, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Suddenly, the Three Pure Ones were no longer at peace, and Tongtian and Haotian no longer shared the same stance.

The sage restored order to a state of disarray.

"All right!"

"There's no need to argue anymore. I've agreed with all the suggestions you've made."

Just as the atmosphere among the saints was tense, Hongjun spoke, instantly easing the tension.

at the same time,

A massive amount of merit gathered in the primordial sky, and then the merit continuously flowed out in specific directions, making it look like a meteor shower was falling from the sky.

Taoist, Buddhist, and Heavenly Cultivators all received a share of merit.

However, the merit they received only accounted for about eleven percent of the merit in the sky; the real majority went to the three thousand mortals who were once guests of Zixiao Palace.

Among the most talented and fortunate individuals in Zixiao Palace, there are ruthless individuals who have successfully severed their three corpses. Unfortunately, the innate spiritual treasures they used to sever their corpses are not of the same origin, preventing them from fusing their three corpses. However, their combat power is truly invincible among their peers. In this interdimensional war, they killed a large number of interdimensional saints, and thus gained a great deal of merit.

They quickly refined the merit they had gained.

Soon,
The vast and majestic pressure of the Holy Dao continuously erupted between heaven and earth.

The creatures of the oppressed, desolate land knelt on the ground, welcoming the birth of a new sage.

The saints in Zixiao Palace were aware of this scene, and their faces had turned ashen.

While having more saints in the world would certainly strengthen the world, they would prefer that these saints be from among their own people, not from such a group.

Most importantly, the saints who appeared at this time were basically ruthless people who broke through the final bottleneck with the power of merit after they had cultivated the "Three Corpses Proving the Dao Method" to the point where they could no longer merge after severing the three corpses.

After they become saints, the power in this world will no longer be determined by their Taoist sect, Buddhist sect, or the Heavenly Court.

As the oppressive aura of the Holy Path continued to appear, the expressions of the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, the Two Saints of Buddhism, Haotian, and Yaochi grew increasingly grim.

Driven by the power of merit, the three thousand guests of the Purple Heaven and the Mortal World actually produced thirteen more saints in the world.

Upon discovering this number, Haotian and Yaochi's expressions were the most unpleasant. He had originally thought that becoming a saint would allow him to truly become the ruler of heaven and earth, but unexpectedly, he found himself in a situation where saints were rampant and his authority was being devalued.
