Primordial Era: A member of the Jie Sect, apprenticed to Tongtian

"That's only natural!"

"Teacher, please rest assured—our junior brother's matter is our matter!"

The remaining three naturally nodded in agreement.

As someone who participated in Shi Yuan's entire scheme.

They naturally knew just how extraordinary their junior brother was.

Not only their supernatural powers and magical abilities, but also their speed of cultivation surprised them all.

The methods they used to scheme alone were beyond the comprehension of gods and demons.

Therefore, they genuinely respected this junior brother.

00 ...

If Shi Yuan were to encounter any trouble, they would certainly not hesitate to help.

After the Tongtian Sect Leader finished his instructions...

The three of them then bowed to the Tongtian Sect Leader once more.

Afterwards, they each returned to the Heavenly Court.

Before leaving, the three of them smiled at Shi Yuan and said, "Junior Brother, now that your identity is known throughout the Three Realms, there's no need to hide it anymore."

"In that case, if you have the leisure, remember to come to the Heavenly Court to discuss the Dao with us!"

What talk of Taoism? They just want me to attend the Jie Sect's banquet and get me drunk.

Shi Yuan had already learned about the conduct of his senior brothers and sisters during his previous trip to the Heavenly Court.

At this moment, he naturally rolled his eyes in secret.

But he only nodded repeatedly before seeing the three off.

After the three people left...

The Tongtian Sect Leader glanced at Shi Yuan.

"You little rascal, you really know how to get into trouble!"

His words were filled with helplessness.

"Teacher, this is slander!"

Shi Yuan also became acquainted with the Tongtian Sect Leader.

In particular, the words that Tongtian Jiaozhu had just used to threaten Yuanshi Tianzun made him understand Tongtian Jiaozhu's attitude towards him.

Therefore, he spoke much more casually.

"Stain?"

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader was so angry that he laughed.

He didn't even know how to describe his young disciple.

In such a short period of time, Shi Yuan's ability to cause trouble was truly astonishing to him.

A mere Taiyi True Immortal dares to scheme against a Saint, and not just one, but two!

Ultimately, this even affected the fortunes of the three religions and the entire human society.

The most ridiculous thing is that he actually succeeded in his plan!

The Tongtian Sect Leader was truly amazed by this ability to cause trouble!

"Since the beginning of time, I have existed in the Three Realms, and your ability to cause trouble... truly deserves to be called number one throughout history!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader commented sharply.

"But the teacher is so unreasonable—how can this be considered causing trouble? I'm doing this to revive my Jie Sect!?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yuan argued his case forcefully.

Can sectarian revival be considered troublesome?

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The Master of Heaven only glared at him and said, "Come back to Biyou Palace with me."

"Although after I said those words, Yuanshi should be hesitant to act rashly."

"But after he discovered the matter of the Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag, I was not sure what he would do."

The Tongtian Sect Leader's expression became subtle when he thought about what Shi Yuan had done to the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner.

He knew this was also a big problem.

"To avoid any trouble, you should come with me to Biyou Palace for a few days of quiet cultivation—besides, it will also help you avoid causing any more trouble lately."

Having said that, he ignored Shi Yuan's somewhat unconvinced and still wanting to say something.

With a mere wave of his hand, he tucked Shi Yuan into his sleeve.

He then picked up the Qingping Sword and returned to Jin'ao Island in the East Sea.

Accompanied by the three sages, they returned to their respective temples.

This matter concerning the State of Lu in the human realm has naturally come to an end.

But the aftermath will not end there.

This matter is truly of great importance.

Within the Three Realms, regardless of cultivation level or the size of the power behind them.

No one is indifferent to this matter.

This is the first time since the Investiture of the Gods that the Three Pure Ones have appeared together in the Three Realms.

Although none of the three are the saint's true form, but rather his incarnations.

But its significance is unprecedented in thousands of years.

Even the saints of the Jie Sect and the Chan Sect exchanged a blow using spiritual treasures from a distance.

That small exchange, which wasn't even a test, still caused a subtle tremor throughout the entire Three Realms.

The dignified bearing of the sage once again left a deep impression on countless people.

at the same time

This is also the first time the name of the Jie Sect has reappeared in the Three Realms since the Investiture of the Gods.

Countless people subconsciously recalled the glorious era of the Jie Sect, when "the Three Realms worshipped the Golden Turtle, and ten thousand immortals paid homage to the Jade Pavilion."

Because the matter had really gotten quite big.

For a time, even quasi-saints such as Guang Chengzi and Yunxiao appeared.

They all seem like minor issues now.

For a time, countless people were quietly paying attention to and investigating the East China Sea direction.

They all wanted to know if the Jie Sect would reopen its doors and recruit new disciples.

Heaven, Buddhism, the Underworld, the Sea of ​​Blood, the Northern Darkness...

Countless ancient gods and true cultivators exist within the Three Realms.

They are all investigating the entire story behind this matter.

However, after the investigation, they were surprised to find...

This is a major event involving the scheming of three sages, the involvement of three major religions, and even the alteration of the fate of some people!

Among them, the presence of a certain disciple of the Jie Sect who called himself "Master of Yuanquan Mountain" was unusually strong.

Among them, the presence of a certain disciple of the Jie Sect who called himself "Master of Yuanquan Mountain" was unusually strong.

The Western Pure Land, Mount Sumeru.

In the Pure Land of the East, a pagoda stands.

At the highest point of the pagoda, a Buddha sits upright in the clear sky, his hands forming the wisdom fist mudra.

Before him, a venerable monk dressed in a green robe was speaking to the Buddha.

"According to the heavenly soldiers on duty that day, the Lord of Yuanquan Mountain did indeed enter the Heavenly Court once in disguise."

"He seems to be acquainted with the Four Saints of Kowloon Island, and they drank and chatted at the Four Saints Marshal's Mansion... According to the Buddha, the two saints don't seem to count as him."

"Therefore, Shakyamuni Buddha felt that the sword strike that the saint of the Intercepting Sect used to cut off the secrets of heaven seemed to be aimed at the Lord of Yuanquan Mountain."

The Venerable One spoke thus, seemingly possessing complete knowledge of the affairs of the Heavenly Court.

And that is indeed the case.

He is the Venerable Huian, a disciple of Guanyin Bodhisattva in Buddhism.

That is, Muzha, the elder brother of Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, and the second son of Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

When the gods were conferred, he became a disciple of Cihang Daoren of the Chan Sect.

After Cihang Daoren turned to Buddhism and transformed into Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Muzha naturally followed suit and entered the Buddhist order, becoming the Venerable Huian before Guanyin.

It is worth mentioning that his father, Li Jing, was a disciple of the Daoist Ran Deng.

The Taoist Ran Deng also converted to Buddhism and became known as the "Ancient Buddha Ran Deng".

Therefore, Li Jing can naturally be considered a Buddhist disciple.

After he was deified, he was given the title of Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

He frequently relayed information from the Heavenly Court to the Buddhist community through his son.

It can be said that this father and son were a very important source of information for Buddhism in the Heavenly Court.

"This is a lie."

However, the Buddha, who was seated atop the stupa, spoke without hesitation.

"Although the Four Saints of Kowloon Island were originally rogue cultivators, they enjoyed making friends across the Three Realms and were free-spirited."

"But these four were the most loyal to the Jie Sect."

"We will absolutely not overstep the bounds of propriety when dealing with the elders within the Jie Sect."

The Buddha shook his head.

"The Lord of Yuanquan Mountain is a disciple of a sage. The three of them will only treat him with the respect due to an elder, and will never feast with him."

"It must have been some kind of trick... The Lord of Yuanquan Mountain took the opportunity to pay his respects to the one in the Tushita Palace."

In just a few words, he guessed the truth about what had happened in the Heavenly Court almost perfectly!

They seemed to have an excellent understanding of the temperaments of the disciples of the Jie Sect.

And that is indeed the case.

This Buddha was none other than the direct disciple of the former sage of the Jie Sect.

The true senior disciple of the Jie Sect, Daoist Duobao.

This senior disciple of the Jie Sect once betrayed the sect and joined the Buddhist order.

Two Buddhist saints even directly granted him the Buddha position of "Many Treasures Tathagata".

This Buddha is the master of the "Eastern Pure Land of Treasures," one of the five great Buddhist realms.

He was the first Buddha below the two saints of Buddhism, Shakyamuni Buddha, who held the reins of the central Saha world.

Even in the Buddha's seat, half of the seat should be shared with Prabhutaratna Tathagata.

His position was comparable to that of a vice-leader of the Buddhist sect, in no way inferior to that of the chief disciple of the Jie Sect.

This also shows how much the two Buddhist saints valued him.

Therefore, at this time, Venerable Huian also came specifically to report the news to the Buddha.

"That is my opinion, Venerable One, please go."

After guessing the truth, Tathagata Duobao also spoke softly.

Then Venerable Huian uttered a Buddhist chant and left the Eastern Pure Land of Treasures.

Only the Tathagata Prabhutaratna remained in place, his eyes filled with countless thoughts.

"That Lord of Yuanquan Mountain is extraordinary. He possesses the 'Golden Flame of the Sun' and the 'Nine Heavens Breath Soil' that he obtained from an unknown source, which are innate treasures alone."

"In addition, the Daoist robe, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, was bestowed upon him by the Sage, the Master of Heaven... who also bestowed upon him the Fishing Drum and the Purple Thunder Hammer."

Upon thinking of this, a complex expression flashed across the face of Many Treasures Tathagata.

There is no other reason than that the fish drum is a symbol of the Jie Sect.

Among the former disciples of the Tongtian Sect Master.

He was the most prestigious and the most recognized by the disciples of the Jie Sect.

Therefore, he was responsible for taking charge of the fisherman's drum and summoning his disciples at crucial moments.

It was none other than Daoist Duobao.

Now that things have changed and people are no longer the same, he naturally feels a sense of melancholy.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha".

But after a moment, the eyes of the Buddha returned to calm.

He was not a hesitant person.

Now that the choice has been made, there's no point in regretting it.

Nowadays, the Daoist Duobao of the Jie Sect no longer exists in the Three Realms; only the Buddha Duobao Tathagata remains.

"The wondrous Dharma was proven from the Lotus Sutra..."
