Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Now, all we can do is hope that the benevolent incarnation of the Red Cloud Ancestor can stop the Bull Demon King and his followers from destroying the foundation of the Chan Sect, thus minimizing our losses.

Little did they know, just as Ancestor Hongyun was about to make a move, he was stopped by Ao Ping. Ao Ping blocked Ancestor Hongyun and said, "Fellow Daoist, your opponent is me."

Upon seeing that the newcomers were none other than Ao Ping, the Red Cloud Ancestor, and the incarnation of the benevolent corpse, they couldn't help but gasp and immediately spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Ao Ping, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with your dragon clan, does it?"

Ao Ping shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten about the White Dragon Horse? The Chan Sect trapped my grandson. Do you think this has anything to do with me?"

As he spoke, Ao Ping had already attacked, giving the Red Cloud Ancestor's benevolent corpse incarnation no chance to enter Longevity Mountain.

In just a short while, the Great Demon King led his demon soldiers and generals to completely occupy Longevity Mountain.

After all, those ordinary third and fourth generation disciples of the Chan Sect were no match for the Bull Demon King and his group. They were captured alive in just a few exchanges.

Just then, the Jade Emperor's voice resounded throughout heaven and earth, "The various religions are fighting and disturbing the Three Realms. They should be punished."

Immediately, an unparalleled holy might poured down from the Thirty-Three Heavens, attempting to forcefully stop the chaotic battle at Longevity Mountain.

At that moment, Emperor Xin, with the Nine Tripods of Yu the Great above his head and a black bird totem appearing behind him, along with the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and the sages of humanity, also appeared in the sky.

"Jade Emperor, the affairs of my primordial world are none of your Heavenly Court's business. If you dare to interfere today, don't blame me for leading the saints of humanity to attack your Heavenly Court."

The Jade Emperor was furious when he saw that Di Xin was leading more than ten saints to block the gate. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but unfortunately, he was no match for them and could only swallow his anger.

The Queen Mother of the West chimed in, "Senior brother, wouldn't that be even better? Let Zhen Yuanzi handle the Chan Sect's affairs himself."

The Jade Emperor sighed and said, "The most important thing is that the Chan Sect actually summoned back all the disciples on the Investiture of the Gods list."

"Moreover, I can clearly feel that the restrictions imposed on them by the Investiture of the Gods have disappeared. It has even taken away a portion of the Heavenly Court's fortune."

"If we don't put them all back on the Investiture of the Gods list today, other religions will probably follow suit, and then the Heavenly Court will revert to what it was before the Investiture of the Gods."

This is what the Jade Emperor is truly worried about. He doesn't care what happens to the Longevity Mountain of the Jie Sect.

But in the next moment, the worry on the Jade Emperor's face disappeared. The second emperor revealed a smile.

Then the Jade Emperor stood up and said towards the direction of Green Lotus Island, "Thank you."

The reason why the Jade Emperor did this was because he clearly sensed that a disciple of the Chan Sect had been included in the Investiture of the Gods.

As for Zhen Yuanzi's evil incarnation, it had already been stopped by the Queen Mother of the West. Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and the others ruthlessly slaughtered the disciples of the Chan Sect listed on the Investiture of the Gods. In a short while, dozens of them were sent back to the Investiture of the Gods.

At the same time, the fortune that had been taken from Heaven began to slowly return. Therefore, the Jade Emperor had no worries whatsoever.

Furthermore, with Di Xin leading his men to block the South Heavenly Gate, he had even more reason to explain himself to Hongjun. After all, it wasn't that he didn't want to go, but rather that the sages of humanity wouldn't allow it.

Compared to the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor was completely relieved. The Buddha of Guidance and the Bodhi Patriarch, however, were not in such a good mood.

Because with the departure of those Chan Sect disciples from Buddhism, our fortunes have begun to decline. Furthermore, Buddhism doesn't have a Investiture of the Gods, so we can't use the Jade Emperor's methods to resolve this. We could no longer sit idly by; we headed directly towards Longevity Mountain. We were determined to bring the Chan Sect disciples back and recast them into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

Unfortunately, before they even reached the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi had already begun their attack on the Blissful World within the chaos.

Di Jun didn't forget to say, "You two Western monks, make sure your benevolent incarnations behave themselves, otherwise I won't hesitate to destroy your paradise today."

The two Western monks had finally managed to send Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun Patriarch away. But then Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi came knocking, infuriating Zhunti Daoist to the point of cursing loudly.

Unfortunately, in the end all they could do was bark in vain, and they even had to force Bodhi Patriarch and Buddha to retreat back to Mount Ling.

After all, Di Jun had already set up the Innate River Luo Grand Formation, completely surrounding the entire Blissful World.

Left with no other choice, they could only inform the Buddha and lead their disciples to capture those who had rebelled against Buddhism and become disciples of the Chan Sect. They were to be thrown into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool for redemption.

Little did they know that this was the moment the Buddha had been waiting for. With a single command, the entire Buddhist sect mobilized to capture the disciples of the Chan Sect.

In an instant, the entire Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain became incredibly lively. Several factions were engaged in a chaotic battle.

Zhen Yuanzi, who had been smiling, suddenly felt that the fortune that the Chan Sect had just regained was rapidly disappearing.

This prompted him to stand up and prepare to head into the primordial world. However, he was stopped by the Three Pure Ones.

Tongtian went even further, saying, "If you dare to enter the Primordial Peninsula, I will set up the Immortal Slaughtering Formation at Longevity Mountain and use this opportunity to swiftly kill all your Jie Sect disciples."

Zhen Yuanzi was furious, but he dared not force his way through the Three Pure Ones' blockade. He could only watch helplessly as the fortunes of the Chan Sect continued to decline.

With Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Manjushri Bodhisattva being personally brought back to Mount Sumeru by the Buddha, Zhen Yuanzi's evil corpse incarnation was reinstated on the Investiture of the Gods by the Queen Mother of the West, and the fortune of the Chan Sect returned to its original state.

After all that effort, it all came to nothing. This infuriated Zhen Yuanzi. The reason was that he gained nothing, and Wanshou Mountain had been occupied by the demon race.

Fortunately, the demon race was still somewhat restrained; they only drove away the disciples of the Chan Sect and did not kill them.

In the end, Zhenyuan Daxian could only lead a group of Chan Sect disciples and follow the benevolent incarnation of Hongyun Laozu to Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island.

Chen Xuan, who was waiting in the chaos, never saw Hongjun's figure from beginning to end. This made Chen Xuan feel a little strange.

"Could it be that Hongjun has other plans? Otherwise, he would never have stood by and watched me scheme against him like this."

And you know what? Chen Xuanzhen was right. At this moment, Hongjun's face was gloomy as he spoke to the destruction and calamity around him.

"Fellow Daoists, those you invited should all be ready by now, right?"

Calamity smiled and said, "If it weren't for the need to awaken Buddhism and Taoism first before taking action against Qinglian Island, they could return to the primordial world now."

Hongjun shook his head and said, "There's no rush, lest Chen Xuan discover something prematurely." (End of Chapter)
