Chapter 396: The Second Power of the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect Sweeps Out the West
Over the years, among the six emperors of heaven, three were from the Chan sect.
The Jiejiao sect is powerful, and the Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole in the center of the sky has the final say on government affairs, followed by the Jade Emperor.
The Chan sect seemed to be suffering repeated setbacks and had no significant power in the heavenly court.
In fact, this is a wrong perception.
Each of the Six Emperors of Heaven has direct power and is definitely not just a figurehead.
Under the three honorable thrones of the Southern Emperor of Longevity, the Eastern Emperor of Qinghua, and the Upper Palace of Gou Chen, even if they cannot grasp the greatest power in heaven, they can still mobilize tens of millions of immortals and gods.
At present, when the survival of the Chan Sect and the Ren Sect is at stake, Yang Jian no longer cares about the consequences of mobilizing the army and participating in the war.
If he cannot preserve the essence of the human religion and the orthodox religion, what good will it be even if he has the power of heaven?
Sooner or later he will be dismissed from his official position and driven away in disgrace.
Yun Zhongzi is the backup plan left by the Chan Sect. If Kunlun Mountain is lost, he will be responsible for contacting Yang Jian and arranging the aftermath of the army's retreat.
This is why Yun Zhongzi has never appeared!
You must know that when Guangchengzi was reincarnated, Yunzhongzi was the acting leader of the Chan sect!
Such a top-notch warrior, with extremely powerful Taoism and magical weapons, would naturally not be afraid of a big battle. He must have shouldered more important responsibilities, which is why he did not show up.
Now, the battle formation of the Heavenly Army has been completed, and a huge net has been dropped, trapping the "Dutian Divine Thunder", buying time for the people of the Human Sect and the Orthodox Sect.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the "Dutian Divine Thunder" exploded, and the legal net was torn apart. In the aftermath, countless slow-running disciples of the Human Sect and the Chan Sect were torn to pieces.
By the time the remnants of the two religions retreated to the ranks of the heavenly soldiers and generals, there were less than five million of them left.
Now, let alone other things, they don’t even have enough manpower to protect some of the worlds in the Thirty-three Days.
"You are finally here!"
At this time, Guangchengzi and others had nothing else to say.
Everyone was filled with joy at having survived a disaster.
"Let's go! The army of Heaven cannot participate in the war with the 'Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance'. Now Junior Brother Yang Jian has already violated the Heavenly Law!"
Yun Zhongzi looked at his fellow disciples and sighed.
Too tragic!
I didn’t expect that there were only so few people left in the two religions.
Fortunately, after looking around, I found that the core members of both religions were there, so there was still a chance to start over.
"Yang Jian, thank you for your hard work!"
Guangchengzi nodded, turned to look at Yang Jian, and showed a look of relief.
This third-generation disciple of the Chan sect was still reliable at the critical moment and was not completely pulled away by Haotian.
"Uncle Master, you are too polite! As a disciple of the Chan Sect, I must naturally serve the Chan Sect! Violating the Heavenly Rules and being punished is not as important as the safety of the sect!"
Yang Jian straightened his expression and said seriously.
"Good! My good disciple!"
Jade Ding Zhenren on the side laughed loudly, and while he was laughing, he suddenly started coughing and even spat out blood.
"Teacher, are you okay?"
Yang Jian was shocked and quickly stepped forward to support his teacher, and input his gentle magic power into Jade Ding Zhenren's body.
Many relationships between teachers and students in the Chan school are based on interests and are false.
However, the relationship between Jade Ding Zhenren and Yang Jian as master and disciple is real.
Jade Ding Zhenren also gave everything for Yang Jian. He even confronted the Jade Emperor head-on for Yang Jian, which led to the outbreak of the Conferred God Tribulation.
It can be said that Jade Ding Zhenren was the instigator of the great catastrophe.
Jade Ding Zhenren never held back in his teachings to Yang Jian, and even took Yang Jian to Yuanshi Tianzun to listen to his teachings many times. It can be said that the number of times Yang Jian listened to teachings was second only to the Twelve Golden Immortals.
Far surpassing any disciple of the Chan sect.
Yang Jian naturally regarded his teacher as his father. The teacher helped him rescue his mother who was suppressed under Peach Mountain, and taught him magical powers and spells. Finally, the teacher contributed the greatest strength to him when he served as the Great Emperor of the South Pole.
It can be said that the relationship between master and apprentice is real.
At this time, seeing that his teacher was injured, Yang Jian was naturally very concerned.
"Yang Jian, don't worry, I am fine, and I am not seriously injured."
Seeing that his disciple cared about him so much, Jade Ding Zhenren smiled with relief.
For a moment, all the people from the Chan sect nearby showed envy. They also had disciples in the past, but unfortunately, they fell out due to various reasons.
Back then, during the Conferred God Tribulation, the second generation of disciples of the Chan Sect recruited many disciples, but they all had bad intentions, and they all wanted to use their disciples to avert the tribulation.
The most famous event among them is the story of Nezha.
The little devil was ignorant at first and was bewitched by Taiyi Zhenren. Later, when he grew up, he realized that his master was not a good person, so he turned against him. The two sides never had any contact with each other again.
The other Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox School are almost all like this.
So they looked at Jade Ding Zhenren and Yang Jian with naturally complicated expressions, and each of them felt a little regretful in their hearts. They had indeed gone too far back then and were too utilitarian.
At this time, the people from the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" saw the people from Heaven appear and hesitated.
This is a powerful force. If a war breaks out, it may not be so easy.
"Chiyou, what should we do?"
Pangu's body gradually became illusory, and Xingtian's anxious voice came from inside.
To take action or not to take action?
If you take action, you can now use Pangu's body to deliver a powerful attack!
This strike is enough to defeat the army of heaven!
If you choose not to take action, Pangu's body will dissipate.
If the twelve ancestor witches want to set up the "Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array" again, they will need some time to recuperate.
It is definitely not something that can be arranged just because you want to.
"Forget it! The Human Sect and the Orthodox Sect combined have less than 5 million people. They no longer have the energy to compete with us. Let them go!"
At this time, the old man of the Styx in the distance spoke.
The power of the Heavenly Court is great, especially the ruler of the Heavenly Court is the Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole in the Central Sky.
If they defeated the Heavenly Army under Yang Jian, just for the face of Heaven, the Emperor of Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei would have to choose to take action!
Everyone in the prehistoric world knows how powerful this person is.
Even an old devil like the Patriarch of the Styx who is fearless is very scared and unwilling to face a strong man like the Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei in Zhongtian.
"Okay! That's all we can do!"
After thinking about it, Chi You could only say unwillingly.
The Lord of Chaos is a monument that weighs down the four realms and six paths.
Many people in the entire "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" are afraid of such people. It can be said that since the establishment of the alliance, many people have talked about the four realms and six paths, and have intentionally or unintentionally avoided mentioning the Heavenly Court.
It is because of the existence of the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole in the Central Sky that the Heavenly Court has a transcendent status.
If it was only the Jade Emperor who was in charge of Heaven, by now Chi You would have rushed forward with his men and killed all the heavenly soldiers and generals.
There seems to be a tacit understanding between the two sides.
The people from the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" went to the ruined Kunlun Mountains to clean up the mess.
The army of Heaven also began to escort the people of the Human Sect and the Orthodox Sect and retreat towards the Thirty-three Heavens.
Today, the two religions have suffered a complete defeat in the Nine Netherworlds and the Earthly Immortal Realm, and have no place to stand.
Only the Demon Realm and part of the Thirty-three Heavens were left.
This is the only place where they can make a comeback.
Basically, the two religions withdrew from the battle of this calamity and completely fell into the side paths.
While the people of the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" were cleaning up the battlefield, the Buddhists and the Dragon Clan successively learned of the movements of the Jiejiao, and actually began to cross the South China Sea, arrived at the West Sea, and launched an attack on Xiniu Hezhou.
As soon as this news came out, the entire "Witch, Buddha, and Demon Alliance" was in an uproar.
Everyone was terrified!
Unlike when facing the Human Sect and the Orthodox Sect, where everyone was as fierce as wolves and tigers, everyone is afraid when they hear the name of the Demon Sect.
Since the end of the Conferred God Tribulation, except for the period when Buddhism was flourishing and the Jie Religion was at a disadvantage, the rest of the time, the Jie Religion was extremely powerful and its power overwhelmed the prehistoric world.
Now, such a huge force has once again shown its fangs and started a new round of attacks.
People in the "Alliance of Witches, Buddhas and Demons" naturally feel that everyone is in danger.
"Buddha, what do you mean?"
At this time, Chi You, as the leader of the alliance, had to speak up.
At this time, even Chi You hesitated. If it were in the past, with his character, he would have taken on the responsibility and led the alliance to quickly return to Xiniu Hezhou to help the Buddhists repel the attack of Jiejiao.
"never mind!"
Suddenly, the voice of Cundi Buddha came into Sandalwood Merit Buddha's mind. His face looked a little ugly and he uttered these two words with difficulty.
"what?"
"Lord Buddha! No!"
"Xiniu Hezhou is the foundation of our Buddhist sect, and we must not lose it!"
"Please take back your words, Lord Buddha, and quickly lead us back to Xiniu Hezhou!"
……
Without waiting for other members of the alliance to speak, the Buddhist sect exploded first, and a group of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas began to persuade them.
Only Samantabhadra Bodhisattva remained calm, looking coldly at everything in front of him like an outsider.
He is the number one master in Buddhism, so naturally, the Buddha Mother Cundi also sent a message to him.
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Sandalwood Merit Buddha were fully aware of the intentions of the two Buddhist saints, so they naturally had to do as the two saints wished.
"Ah! Everyone, please stop talking! This is what the two saints meant!"
Sandalwood Merit Buddha sighed and spoke slowly.
After hearing this, all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist community stopped talking, and each of them showed a look of surprise. They looked blankly at the Sandalwood Merit Buddha, and finally turned their gaze to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
Seeing the Bodhisattva nodded slightly, I was sure that what he said was true.
For a moment, the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas could not accept it.
If it were not for the Sandalwood Merit Buddha speaking and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva testifying, they would never have believed that the two saints would issue such a decree.
Is it true that Buddhism will just give up its foundation after billions of years of existence?
Previously, they had conquered Mount Shouyang and Mount Kunlun, and were very proud of themselves.
Now, their old nest, the Leiyin Temple, seems to be about to fall.
What is the difference between this and human teaching and expounding teaching?
Thinking of this, all the Buddhists felt extremely upset and their morale was extremely low.
"Don't be sad! Now that the Zen sect has established its roots in Dongsheng Shenzhou, we Buddhists can fully develop in Dongsheng Shenzhou and wait for the final decisive battle. Then, we can fight with Jiejiao again and avenge our hatred!"
Samantabhadra Bodhisattva spoke coldly.
"Follow the Bodhisattva's command!"
All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas nodded and put away their depression.
"Okay! Don't worry, everyone. The Buddha Mother Cundi has issued a decree. All the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats in Xiniuhezhou are to withdraw to Dongsheng Shenzhou. We will go to the East China Sea to pick them up, so that they will not be ambushed by the Jiejiao people when they pass through the East China Sea!"
The Sandalwood Merit Buddha also spoke.
The people from the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" on the side breathed a sigh of relief after listening to the internal discussions within the Buddhist community.
They are really afraid of the Buddhists, so they ask the alliance members to go to Xiniu Hezhou to fight against Jiejiao!
"Okay, okay! We will also help and get all the Buddhists to retreat to Dongsheng Shenzhou!"
Chi You said on the side.
Then he looked at the people of the Dragon Clan and said, "Since the South Sea Dragon Palace has been destroyed, why don't you abandon the West Sea Dragon Palace and the North Sea Dragon Palace and gather all your strength in the East Sea Dragon Palace. With the strength of our entire alliance, we can completely defend Dongsheng Shenzhou!"
"Alas! That's all it can do."
Canglong nodded, a trace of fatigue showing on his face. He didn't expect that after so many years, it would be so difficult for the dragon clan to be reborn.
If they had known this earlier, they might as well have continued to endure, lurking in a low profile, waiting for the day when someone would prove the truth!
And just after the people of the "Witch-Buddha-Demon Alliance" discussed the strategy of defending Dongsheng Shenzhou to the death, the fleet of the Ming Empire, with the help of magic from the Jiejiao immortals, rode the wind and waves, and reached the coastline of Xiniu Hezhou at speeds as fast as lightning within a few days.
"attack!"
Without any hesitation, in the void, with the cover of the "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation" of Jiejiao, the army boarded the small boats and charged towards the shore.
This time, the attack started with a group of immortals in the sky using thunder magic to attack the obstacles in front of them. The army of the Ming Empire rushed in without encountering any resistance and quickly occupied a corner of Xiniu Hezhou.
When the immortals of the Jiejiao appeared in Xiniuhezhou, this chaotic and strife-ridden continent finally calmed down.
According to the order of Cundi Buddha, the Buddhists began to let all those who were above the level of Arhat to evacuate. As for the other Buddhist disciples, it was entirely voluntary. Those who were willing to go could be taken with them, and those who did not want to leave would not be forced.
This move completely confused all forces in Xiniu Hezhou.
No one expected that the great Buddhist sect would escape without a fight.
Soon after, people from the God-Worshipping Society, the One True Religion, and Brahmanism began to curse Buddhists for being uncivilized.
Doesn’t this push these three companies to the front?
All of a sudden, the three religions quickly united together and began to discuss plans to resist the Jie Religion.
However, Jiejiao never paid any attention to their alliance. It just cooperated with the army of the Ming Empire and began to capture and rule one city after another.
Wherever the Ming Empire's army passed, the small countries on Xiniuhezhou fled in fear and did not dare to engage in battle.
