Journey to the West: Become stronger by taking on disciples, start by recruiting a demonized Sun Wuk

Unfortunately, after the Investiture of the Gods, the system of human emperors completely disappeared.

Instead, there were the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven bound by the rules of Heaven.

A question arose in Fuxi's mind.

Did Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor, plot against the human race?

This is clearly helping the human race rise.

If things continue this way, after Ying Zheng unifies the human race of Nanzhanbuzhou, his cultivation will inevitably break through to the peak of Quasi-Saint.

By then, all the civil and military officials of the Great Qin Dynasty will be able to advance to the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal or Taiyi Golden Immortal.

The human race's strength is now comparable to that of the Heavenly Court!

At that time, humanity will rise to power, and all living beings will ascend to the heavens!

Humanity is no longer a weakling that can be bullied at will by immortals, demons, Buddhas, and Taoists, but a powerful force that can stand on equal footing with all religions!

A look of worry flashed across Fuxi's eyes.

The Jade Emperor of Heaven was aware of all of this.

The Jade Emperor would not tolerate Ying Zheng's growing power, much less allow a Great Qin Dynasty capable of rivaling the Heavenly Court to rise.

The answer is clear!

The Jade Emperor will inevitably intervene.

"Xuanyuan, immediately notify the ancient sage rulers such as Suiren, Shennong, Yao, Shun, and Yu. It's time to act!"

Fuxi had made up his mind.

Regardless of whether Hongjun was plotting against Ying Zheng, as long as the Jade Emperor dared to take action against Ying Zheng, he would never stand idly by.

They were preparing to act when the gods were being conferred titles.

But that immeasurable calamity had nothing to do with the survival of the human race.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, including Fuxi, chose to endure and allow others to scheme against the human race and support the Human Emperor to ascend the throne.

But now, the dawn of humanity's rise is just around the corner, and they will never back down!

Fuxi wanted the entire prehistoric world to know that the human race still had the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in charge!

Upon hearing this, the Yellow Emperor immediately agreed: "Fuxi is right, we should have intervened during the Investiture of the Gods!"

"It's not too late now; the opportunity for humanity to rise has arrived."

"Anyone who dares to touch Ying Zheng is an enemy of the human race!"

"Those who oppose humanity will be killed without mercy!"

The Yellow Emperor, filled with fighting spirit, relayed Fuxi's words to all the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had no objections.

Everyone get ready to leave Fire Cloud Cave at any time!

……

Lingshan, inside the Great Thunder Temple.

When the Buddhas saw Ying Zheng bestow titles upon the hundred officials, each one exuding an aura as powerful as a dragon, their cultivation instantly reaching the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The Great Thunder Temple was deathly silent.

All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were so astonished that they were speechless.

It took them a long time to start discussing it.

"When Ying Zheng's flower bloomed with twelve petals, we said that the person behind that faceless statue was the Dao Ancestor. This was the Dao Ancestor's plan."

"But I think this is the Dao Ancestor helping the human race rise."

"That's what I think too!"

"Ying Zheng's cultivation method is very magical, allowing humankind to ascend to immortality in one step by leveraging the power of destiny."

"Humanity cannot fail to rise!"

"Think about it, if our Buddhist sect could obtain Qin Shi Huang's cultivation methods and rely on the fortune of the Buddhas, could our cultivation advance even further?"

Upon hearing this, all the Buddhas became uneasy, their eyes flickering, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Even the Tathagata of Many Treasures on the Nine-Rank Merit Golden Lotus showed a look of longing.

If one can merge the Buddhist fortune with one's own fortune, perhaps one can take this opportunity to attain enlightenment and sainthood!

But the thought only flashed through my mind.

Behind Ying Zheng was the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, an existence that Duobao Tathagata could not afford to offend.

Duobao Tathagata did not obtain the complete content of the cultivation method from Ying Zheng, but he saw a part of it.

This kind of cultivation technique can only be practiced by the ruler of a dynasty.

This shows that Buddhism has no connection with this.

The Buddhas below doubted whether Ying Zheng was truly the scheming of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The Buddha of Many Treasures believed that helping the human race rise to power was itself a scheme.

The Buddhas present were of too low a level to comprehend deeper truths.

The Tathagata of Many Treasures also felt fortunate.

He was initially worried that Ying Zheng's schemes were aimed at Buddhism.

But once the news spread that the Qin Dynasty had appointed officials and that everyone was as powerful as a dragon, he felt at ease.

It is clear that Ying Zheng's scheme was aimed at the Heavenly Court.

As for why Dao Ancestor Hongjun plotted against the Heavenly Court, this was beyond the comprehension of Duobao Tathagata.

The Tathagata of Many Treasures was waiting for the Jade Emperor's reaction.

If Hongjun knew what Duobao Tathagata was thinking, he would definitely be furious.

The Heavenly Court is part of my plan, why would I scheme against it!

……

Guanyin bid farewell to Mount Ling and flew south to Jambudvipa.

She witnessed Ying Zheng's twelve-tiered flower arrangement and the enfeoffment of officials.

These things shocked him.

Guanyin wondered: Should we still convert Ying Zheng?

Although Ying Zheng had reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, his foundation was unstable and his strength was not strong enough.

Guanyin believed she could guide him to Mount Ling.

But now there's a problem.

Behind Ying Zheng was the Dao Ancestor Hongjun orchestrating the scheme.

To continue to convert Ying Zheng would be to become an enemy of the Dao Ancestor.

All those who opposed the Dao Ancestor, from Rahu in the Daoist-Demon War to Tongtian during the Investiture of the Gods, met with bad ends.

Guanyin was only at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, and could not afford to offend the Dao Ancestor.

After careful consideration, she consulted Zhunti and Jieyin again, asking whether she should continue to convert Ying Zheng.

Guanyin actually hoped that Zhunti would tell her not to go.

But things didn't go as planned.

In the Western Paradise, Zhunti and Jieyin are discussing Qin Shi Huang's cultivation methods.

"Senior brother, Ying Zheng's cultivation method is too strange. He can use the fortune of the entire country as a foundation and transform it into his own cultivation."

"You can even use luck to forge your status; everyone can become a dragon!"

"The Great Qin Dynasty may become a major power like the Heavenly Court in the future."

A glint of greed flashed in Zhunti's eyes: "Senior brother, what do you think would happen if we obtained Ying Zheng's cultivation techniques?"

"This technique is only for the rulers of dynasties to cultivate; our Buddhist sect cannot use it directly."

"But as sages, we can draw inferences from similar cases and glean profound insights that are beneficial to our Buddhist community."

Jieyin nodded and said, "Junior brother is right."

"Heaven has ordained that our Buddhist sect will prosper, and the cultivation method practiced by Ying Zheng is an opportunity bestowed upon our Buddhist sect by Heaven through his hand."

If Chu Qing were to overhear the conversation between Zhunti and Jieyin, he would be shocked.

How could anyone in the world be so shameless as to say such a thing!

Unfortunately, he doesn't know that now.

Chu Qing was still leisurely reading a novel in Peach Blossom Spring.

At this moment, Zhunti received Guanyin's question and immediately replied, "Continue onward; we must bring Ying Zheng to Mount Ling."

Zhunti has already made his decision.

Even if Ying Zheng was indeed being manipulated by the Dao Ancestor.

After converting Ying Zheng, if the Dao Ancestor holds Guanyin accountable, then Guanyin should bear all the responsibility.

They said that Guanyin made the decision on her own and no one interfered.

Guanyin was unaware that Zhunti was using him as a scapegoat.

After receiving Zhunti's reply, he sighed and continued on to Jambudvipa.

……

Chaos, Jade Void Palace.

Yuanshi Tianzun was relieved to confirm that the schemes involving Ying Zheng were not Tongtian Qian's doing.

This shows that Tongtian does not hate him.

Yuanshi didn't care who did the scheming or what their purpose was.

As long as it's not directed at the Three Pure Ones, the Chan Sect, or even at Yuanshi Tianzun, nothing else matters.

Yuanshi Tianzun consumed Hongjun's Elixir of Immortality, and his life and death were now in Hongjun's control.

The affairs of the world are beyond Hongjun's calculation.

……

Chaos, the Sanqing Courtyard.

"By using destiny as a foundation, this cultivation method will surely enable the human race to rise."

Taiqing Laozi sighed.

He previously believed that even if Ying Zheng broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm, he would not be able to change the weak state of the human race.

But Ying Zheng's performance surprised him.

He appointed officials to positions of power, making everyone stronger.

They transformed illusory fortune into real cultivation and combat power.

If this continues, the human race will no longer be weak and will soon rise to power!
