Primordial Era: Taking the blame to become a saint, proving one's path through eccentricity!

Upon hearing this, Puxian immediately sneered, "Whether we use Buddhist supernatural powers or not is none of your business. But you and Kong Xuan interfered in Senior Brother Chijingzi's wedding; could it be that you have some ulterior motive?"

In the Primordial Realm, at least on the surface, the face of the Daoist tradition is still highly valued.

You might secretly, under a false identity, attain the status of a great Bodhisattva in Buddhism, or even achieve the Great Freedom Heaven Demonic Realm in the demonic path, but on the surface, you must maintain the dignity of your own lineage!

This is also why, before joining the Buddhist order, Samantabhadra, Manjushri, and Cihang dared not use Buddhist supernatural powers in public.

Xuan Yin was the same.

He possessed some magical abilities from both the demonic and Buddhist paths, but he had never actually used them in a magical duel.

Therefore, in Puxian's view, Xuanyin's words were a deliberate mockery of them.

Cihang Daoist, however, remained much calmer and slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Xuanyin, haven't you also attained the Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal Dao Fruit of Buddhism? When you fought with others, didn't you never use any Buddhist supernatural powers?"

Although they were fully aware of the relationship between Xuan Yin and Xuanzang Bodhisattva, there were very few beings below the Great Luo realm who knew about it!

Strength determines your vision, and it determines the secrets you can access in the Primordial True World!

Beings below the Great Luo level receive completely different treatment!

Manjushri went even further, directly questioning, "Fellow Daoist, are you interested in this opportunity? If you are not interested, then let's pretend the three of us never appeared before you!"

In fact, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang made a great decision before they decided to tell Xuan Yin about the opportunity.

Relying solely on the luck and opportunities of the Chan Sect, it would be difficult for them to break through their own limitations.

This defeat at the hands of Kong Xuan made them even more determined to set aside their pride and invite Xuan Yin to explore the origins of Buddhism and Taoism and the profound truths of the infinite.

"I accept this offer!"

Xuan Yin nodded: "However, we should wait until after witnessing the wedding of the Earthly Emperor's daughter!"

All the sages were pursuing further progress and transcendence. The Three Pure Ones, Luo, and even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun all focused on reducing and seeking emptiness.

Although Nuwa had never interfered with the cause and effect of the primordial world, when Xuan Yin went to Tai Su Tian, ​​he sensed the same aura of creation as Nuwa on Bai, Nuwa's protector.

Clearly, that White Protector was most likely a tool used by Nuwa to achieve emptiness through subtraction!

However, the two Western Saints never showed any trace of seeking emptiness through reduction. Having gone through twenty cycles of reincarnation, it is impossible that they did not make any progress.

This can be verified by the Amitabha Seal that the Guide Daoist manifested from the void when the Four Sages fought against Yangmei Immortal. If Buddhism and Taoism can be compared with Taoism, they must have their merits.

"good!"

Cihang immediately agreed.

The reason they were here was to attend Chi Jingzi's wedding.

Without further ado, the goddess Nuwa descended in her true form and, with a red embroidered ball, witnessed the marriage of the two. Both Chijingzi and Fuguang gained considerable benefits.

Xuan Yin, seeing the adoring look on the Empress Sang's face as she looked at Kong Xuan, also took the initiative to ask, "Fellow Daoist, are you interested in joining my Jie Sect?"

He glanced at Kong Xuan's retreating figure and secretly transmitted his voice to the Empress Sang: "Young friend, you seem to get along quite well with Junior Brother Kong Xuan! After you join my Jie Sect, you'll be able to consult Junior Brother Kong Xuan often!"

Although the Empress Sang was deeply in love with Kong Xuan, Kong Xuan was completely unaware of this. Xuan Yin could only try to trick the Empress Sang into joining the Jie Sect!

Even if the two don't end up together, it would likely allow Shennong to remain neutral in the conflict between the Chan and Jie schools.

"May I join the Jie Sect?"

Empress Sang was somewhat insecure. She was only at the level of a Celestial Immortal, but she knew that Saints were the ones who dominated the trend of the Primordial True World.

When Chi Jingzi served as Shennong's teacher, her sister Fu Guang also asked how she could become a disciple of the Chan Sect!

However, Chi Jingzi bluntly stated that what Yuanshi Tianzun valued most when accepting disciples was their lineage.

The Twelve Golden Immortals, the Antarctic Immortal, and Yun Zhongzi were all innate beings. In contrast, Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao, who stirred up trouble during the Investiture of the Gods in later generations, were born in response to the calamity, but were only nominal disciples!

Although Fu Guang was the daughter of the Earthly Sovereign, as a being born after birth, she was unlikely to catch the eye of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

Princess Sang naturally did not believe that her talent was worthy of the sage's attention.

"Why not?"

Xuan Yin continued his deception, saying, "The doctrine of my Jie Sect is that education should be for all, regardless of birth or descent! Whether a being is born naturally or acquired, whether born from moisture or eggs or nurtured by heaven and earth, as long as they have a heart that yearns for the Dao and have not done anything to harm heaven and earth, our teacher will gladly accept them as disciples!"

"I am of human origin, just like you, and am now also a disciple of the Daoist lineage."

"With my recommendation, I dare not claim to be your direct disciple, but becoming a nominal disciple is certainly within my reach!"

As he spoke, he directly took out the teachings of the Jie Sect, a Taoist robe, the teachings of the Shangqing lineage, and the Shangqing lotus crown symbolizing the Shangqing lineage.

Without hesitation, the Empress Sang made a Heavenly Oath in accordance with the religious rules, and then, under Xuan Yin's arrangement, bowed to Jin'ao Island.

"Alright, you are now a disciple of my Jie Sect!"

Xuan Yin nodded in satisfaction and said, "I will arrange for Junior Brother Kong Xuan to take you back to Jin'ao Island. You can say goodbye to your parents first!"

As he spoke, he took out a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure and presented it to the Empress Sang: "This is the Dragon-Subduing Cauldron I refined before, made with phoenix blood and crimson gold. It can generate phoenix true fire. I observed that my junior sister's phoenix bloodline is extremely rich, so it seems to be a perfect match. Consider it my initiation gift!"

Princess Sang quickly and happily accepted it.

At present, she is only at the Celestial Immortal realm, and a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure is already an extremely precious item!

Without further ado, Empress Sang told Shennong and Ting about her joining the Jie Sect. Shennong and Ting had no objections, but Chi Jingzi's face darkened upon hearing the news.

The relationship between the Chan and Jie schools of thought, while not quite at the point of open conflict, was certainly not far off.

As a result, his Daoist partner's younger sister became a nominal disciple of the Jie Sect.

How do teachers view me?

Only now did he realize that Xuan Yin's participation in his wedding with Fu Guang was not to cause trouble, but to get Shennong's daughter to join the Jie Sect!

Therefore, Shennong will most likely choose to remain neutral during the Investiture of the Gods!

But the matter was already settled. Before any living being from the primordial world could join the Jie Sect, they had to first swear a great oath to the Heavenly Dao. Even if he wanted to stop it now, it was too late!

"That's enough!"

Chi Jingzi sighed helplessly, "Let the teacher worry about this!"

After Chi Jingzi and Fu Guang's wedding, Xuan Yin found Kong Xuan and asked him to take the Empress Sang back to Jin'ao Island to pay respects to the Tongtian Sect Leader, and also to give her some guidance on her cultivation and help her discover the Phoenix Clan's bloodline.

Kong Xuan frowned slightly. He had a feeling that Xuan Yin was plotting against him in some way!

-

However, Xuan Yin's explanation was reasonable. Having the Empress Sang join the Jie Sect could indeed prevent Shennong from favoring the Chan Sect during the Investiture of the Gods.

Daughters are always closer than sons-in-law!

As for why Kong Xuan was the one to teach her, it was naturally to tap into the Phoenix Clan bloodline of the Empress Sang!

Within the Jie Sect, are there any beings who understand the Phoenix Clan better than Kong Xuan, the Phoenix Clan's crown prince?

No!

Before leaving, Xuan Yin gave the princess Sang a look, the meaning of which was very clear—this is the most I can help you with!

As for whether you and Kong Xuan can get together, that depends on whether you can win him over!

After watching the two leave, Xuan Yin spoke with the Tongtian Sect Leader and then headed towards the cave of Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun.

Wulong Mountain.

Although this place is not as good as Kunlun or Buzhou, it is still a rare superior blessed land in the Primordial True Realm. Manjushri, Cihang and Samantabhadra have been waiting for a long time!

Let's begin!

Cihang nodded slightly and directly activated his Great Awakening Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. A sense of compassion immediately appeared in the surrounding void.

Samantabhadra and Manjushri followed closely behind, their two Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal Fruits manifesting one after another.

Xuan Yin did not hesitate and directly used his connection with the Bodhisattva Xuanzang to reflect the Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, which symbolizes "great vow".

The intertwining power of the four Dao Fruits created a profound realm of great compassion, great vows, great wisdom, and great action, instantly opening a door to all wonders for the four.

This is the origin of Buddhism and Taoism.

The consciousness of the group was immediately sent by this force into the gate of all wonders, symbolizing Buddhism and Taoism.

"This is----"

But when the group saw the scene of the Gate of Wonders, they couldn't help but show disbelief.

Xuan Yin frowned instantly.

There's no other reason than this!

They arrived in a world filled with Buddhist and Taoist atmosphere. Behind the gates of the myriad wonders of Buddhism and Taoism was a world completely different from the gates of the myriad wonders of the divine and human realms. Everyone there possessed Buddha-nature, and the entire world was filled with beautiful images. There was no separation of life and death, nor love, hate, or grudges.

But that's the most abnormal part.

Such a perfect world, free from the pain of separation and death, should not exist in reality.

"If, when I attain Buddhahood, there are hells, hungry ghosts, or animals in my country, I will not attain perfect enlightenment."

"If, when I attain Buddhahood, any heavenly beings or humans in my land, after their lives have ended, are reborn in the three evil realms, I will not attain perfect enlightenment."

"If, when I attain Buddhahood, not all the heavenly beings and humans in my land possess true gold, then I will not attain perfect enlightenment."

"If, when I attain Buddhahood, there are beings in my land whose forms and appearances differ, some beautiful and some ugly, then I will not attain perfect enlightenment."

Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, moved his mind and recited the forty-eight great vows made by the Daoist Jieyin and the Daoist Zhunti when they became saints, resonating with the entire world.

He represents "great wisdom," and coupled with his own Buddha-nature, he is the first to understand the true nature of this world.

Upon hearing the voice of Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, Xuan Yin suddenly realized, "Isn't this the world described in the grand vows of the Two Western Saints?"

Even Puxian found it hard to believe: "Such a world actually exists!"

"That's impossible!"

Others may not understand, but surely he, the future great Bodhisattva of Buddhism, understands?

The world depicted in the grand vows of Buddhism is merely a means for Buddhism to attract believers—in theory, it shouldn't exist in reality!

"That's absolutely impossible!"

Xuan Yin nodded: "The essence of this world seems to be a grand dream, but this dream is constantly evolving into reality!"

Having cultivated the Way of Dreams, and with the help of the Eye of Truth, he eventually glimpsed a clue.

but----

Although this world is but a fleeting dream, its origin is genuine and far surpasses any other world he has ever seen.

In his mind, only the Shadow Primordial World created by Dao Ancestor Hongjun could compare to it!

Do not!

The essence of this world seems to be even higher than the Shadow Primordial World created by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Pangu's Dream!"

Xuan Yin immediately had his own guess: in the Primordial Realm, only the Great God Pangu probably had the ability to create such a dream.
