The Young Master of the Prehistoric Jiejiao

"Oh? Sir, what's your plan? Please tell me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed when he heard this and asked quickly.

At this time, his attitude was like inviting Liu Bowen to come out of seclusion for the third time.

As long as the other party is useful, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude is more humble than any other king.

Of course, if you lose your usefulness or become a threat to him, he will not hesitate to kill you.

"Your Majesty! Why can immortals control the political power of the world?"

The black-robed man asked with a smile.

"Hmm! Immortals are powerful! They have boundless magical powers and can control other people's lives?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said.

"That's the truth!"

The black-robed man clapped his hands and laughed, and continued, "Nowadays, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is dissipating, and the lives of living beings are getting shorter and shorter. In ancient times, humans did not need to practice cultivation. They were born to live for one or two thousand years. They were extremely powerful and could subdue monsters with their bare hands."

After a pause, the man continued, "Your Majesty, look! What about now? If a person is born without practicing, if he can live for three hundred years, he is probably considered a long-lived person! Why is that?"

"Hmm! Is that so?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked. He had never really thought about this problem. He was an emperor. He cultivated the true dragon energy of the imperial way and took elixirs. He could have lived for 20,000 to 30,000 years.

Naturally, he didn't care about the affairs of these civilians.

Just after listening to the words of the man in black robe, he seemed to be vaguely touched, as if there was something he had forgotten.

"Excuse me sir, what is the reason for this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

"Your Majesty is not from the cultivation world, you don't know that this era is called the 'End of the Dharma'. It is the end of cultivators. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is gradually cut off, and the lifespan of living beings is greatly reduced. In the future, humans who live to be a hundred years old are considered long-lived! And the immortals are not much better. Without the nourishment of immortal energy, they will also be exhausted and die!"

The man in black robe slowly told the news he knew.

"What! There is such a thing! What about me?"

This news completely shocked Zhu Yuanzhang and he couldn't help but stand up.

The first thing the emperor thought about was not anything else but himself and whether he could survive for a long time!

His dream is to exist forever and ever with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and to be with the human race!

He can't die!

This is not the result he wants!

"Your Majesty, you are cultivating the imperial dragon energy! As long as you remain the ruler of the earthly immortal world and the emperor of the human race, your progress in cultivation will not be affected by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and your life will naturally not be affected."

The man in black robe looked at Zhu Yuanzhang playfully and said with a smile.

"That's good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang let out a long sigh, and at the same time, his heart was filled with boundless murderous intent.

According to what the gentleman said, he is the emperor of mankind, so he can be immortal!

Anyone who threatens his imperial power must die!

The remnants of the demon clan, immortals, devils, and Buddhism must also die!

All the royal families they supported who pretended to surrender must also die!

Zhu Yuanzhang will not give anyone the chance to restore their country!

"Your Majesty! My strategy is to cut off the retreat of the monks, so that they will perish one by one in the 'End of the Dharma'. Without the immortals, you will be the biggest and strongest, and naturally no one will be able to threaten your rule."

The man in black robe continued.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed and asked again, "How can we cut off the retreat of the monks?"

"Hehe! In the entire Earthly Immortal Realm, in the four continents, there are a total of hundreds of dragon veins, which are the source of the spiritual energy of the Earthly Immortal Realm. As long as these dragon veins are cut off, the spiritual energy of the Earthly Immortal Realm will naturally be cut off!"

The black-robed man continued, "The Earthly Immortal Realm is an important realm in the prehistoric world. If there is a problem in the Earthly Immortal Realm, it will affect the Nine Netherworlds, the Demon Realm, and the Thirty-three Heavens! In the future, the four realms of heaven, earth, man, and demon will all consume the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. By then, the immortals will have no one to rely on, and they will be worse than mortals. Your kingdom will be like an iron bucket!"

"I understand! Thank you sir for clearing up my confusion!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, showing a look of satisfaction.

Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he became suspicious and lost trust in everyone. He cherished the vast empire he had worked so hard to build, fearing that it would be taken away by others.

This naturally includes the backer behind him, Jiejiao!

Of course, other princes, ministers, and royal princes were also his focus. Over the years, Zhu Yuanzhang had slaughtered them many times.

"Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."

After coming up with a solution for Zhu Yuanzhang, the man in black robe said goodbye and left.

"Ha ha……"

Watching the back of the black-robed man leaving the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled coldly and muttered to himself: "You are not a good guy either. When my great cause is accomplished, you will die too!"

A day later, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned his adviser Liu Bowen.

"My dear, I had a strange dream. I dreamed that countless golden dragons rushed towards me with bared fangs and claws, wanting to eat me. What do you think this means?"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang characterized this incident as a dream.

"Ok?"

Liu Bowen was startled, and immediately recalled the scene of meeting the Chaos Patriarch many years ago.

"Liu Ji, if one day you assist the king and achieve something, and the king mentions the matter of understanding dreams, you can take this opportunity to cut off the dragon vein of the earthly immortal world to complete the relationship between the king and his subjects!"

At that time, Lord Chaos said this very clearly. Even after so many years, Liu Bowen still remembers it clearly.

To end the relationship between monarch and subject!

Cut off the dragon veins of the earthly immortal world!

Liu Bowen sighed. After so many years, he already knew exactly what kind of person Zhu Yuanzhang was. He would no longer be easily manipulated by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Liu Bowen pretended to be serious and counted with his fingers. It was half an hour later that he opened his eyes.

He saw Zhu Yuanzhang looking at him intently, observing all his emotional changes.

Liu Bowen chuckled and thought to himself, "You are always like this. You never trust anyone!"

Thinking of this, Liu Bowen completely gave up the idea and broke off all ties with Zhu Yuanzhang!

"My dear, what does my dream mean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to press the issue.

He wanted to destroy the immortal's foundation, but was afraid of causing backlash.

Liu Bowen in front of us is the best scapegoat!

Whatever happened, they could all be blamed on Liu Bowen.

After today, the story of Liu Bowen slaying the dragon will spread throughout the imperial capital.

It won't be long before this becomes a story that will be passed down forever among the human race.

Even if you, Liu Bowen, had a hundred mouths, you still couldn't explain it clearly.

Liu Bowen had already seen through this vicious plot. His heart turned cold and he completely drew a line between himself and the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang.

Liu Bowen remained calm, as usual, and he smiled and said, "There is an unknown grass dragon coveting the throne of Your Majesty, but it has not yet become powerful. As long as the dragon vein is cut off, the disaster will be eliminated."

"I see! My dear, I wonder if you can help me solve this hidden danger?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.

"Leave this matter to me! I will definitely satisfy Your Majesty!"

Thinking of what Lord Chaos said, Liu Bowen suppressed his anger and said, "There is just one thing that needs your Majesty's approval!"

"Oh? What's the matter? Just tell me! I will grant you everything!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was delighted. He did not expect Liu Bowen to be so straightforward. As for Liu Bowen's questions, they were nothing. Before Liu Bowen could even speak, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to everything.

"That's right! My teacher wants to take action to rectify the harm caused by Buddhism. This requires the assistance of the Human Emperor."

Liu Bowen put forward his own request.

"This matter? It's simple! I will issue an order right now, ordering Master Lin Lingsu to personally preside over the governance of Buddhism!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was delighted. These Buddhist and Taoist people are still fighting with each other now!

Wait until I cut off all the spiritual veins in the world, and then I’ll see how you die!

Since I will deal with you sooner or later, it just happens to meet your request. I will continue to paralyze you. When the time comes and you react, it will be too late.

"Okay! In that case! I will travel the world and slay dragons for your majesty!"

Liu Bowen readily agreed.

He was already very satisfied after completing the task assigned by his teacher and being able to break off all ties with Zhu Yuanzhang.

On the second day, Zhu Yuanzhang issued two imperial edicts, assigning the two tasks to Lin Lingsu and Liu Bowen, master and apprentice.

Lin Lingsu was overjoyed when he received the imperial edict. He first reminded his disciples to be careful and to do as the ancestors said. Then he went to the palace in person to discuss the governance of Buddhism with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Soon, Lin Lingsu made a big move.

A group of Jiejiao masters descended on the imperial capital to assist Lin Lingsu in his operations.

Among them were guardians of the Jiejiao sect such as Yuan Hong, Liu'er Macaque, Sun Wukong and Wuzhiqi.

It can be said that unless the quasi-saint of Buddhism hiding in some world of the Thirty-three Heavens comes forward, it is absolutely impossible to stop Lin Lingsu's will.

The major sects fought each other fiercely, but none of them killed each other completely.

There are still many temples in Buddhism, and some monks with shallow cultivation survived.

It is naturally impossible for the masters of Jiejiao to eliminate these people one by one.

It is enough for them to take the initiative in the general situation and they don't bother to do such tasteless things.

At this time, Lin Lingsu came forward and issued a decree to the Jiejiao, ordering that all the Buddhist temples in the heavens and myriad worlds be transformed into palaces and monasteries, Sakyamuni be transformed into the Heavenly Venerable, Bodhisattva be transformed into the Great Master, Arhat be transformed into the Venerable One, and monk be transformed into the Virtuous One.

All monks must keep their hair, wear a crown, and hold a bamboo slip.

These remarks caused an uproar both inside and outside the government. Although it was not a direct destruction of Buddhism, such a move had a huge impact on Buddhist teachings.

Even in the chaos, in the Pure Land, the two saints, Amitabha Buddha and Cundi Buddha Mother, could no longer sit still.

How can this still be Buddhism under their leadership?

How can this be considered Buddhism?

Isn't this nonsense?

Is it possible to do something like this?

However, the power of Buddhism has been severely weakened and it is no longer able to fight against the Jiejiao.

The two Buddhist saints had no choice but to suppress their anger and completely close off the Paradise. They no longer paid attention to worldly affairs. This was to admit defeat in advance and completely give up struggling in this calamity.

Soon, this decree was conveyed from the imperial capital to the Southern Continent, the Eastern Continent, the Western Continent, and the Northern Continent.

Under the dual suppression of Jiejiao and the secular world, it was eventually forcefully implemented, and the Buddha was changed to the Great Golden Immortal, and the clothes were changed and the surnames were used.

The Zuoyou Street Record Offices were changed to Daodeyuan, and the Monk Record Office was changed to Taxi Office, both of which were affiliated to Daodeyuan.

Not long after, Lin Lingsu's actions became more and more aggressive, and she changed the term "nu" to "nu dao" and "nun" to "nu de".

Lin Lingsu's behavior aroused strong dissatisfaction among Buddhists. During this period, some remaining Buddhist monks were dissatisfied and wanted to fight against Lin Lingsu.

But now, almost all the masters of Buddhism have run away.

Facing a Golden Immortal master like Lin Lingsu, the people of Buddhism are no match at all!

Lin Lingsu is Li Yunjing's last disciple, and is proficient in the Five Elements of Thunder Magic. In particular, Chaos Taoist Master personally refined a "Thunder Judge Seal" for Lin Lingsu, which makes him invincible.

This shows that Lord Chaos likes Lin Lingsu.

He personally named this precious seal!

It was simply telling everyone that Lin Lingsu was his successor to the Thunder Method, and that he would judge everything with the "Thunder Judge Seal"!

Even Yuan Hong, Liu'er Mihou, Su Daji, Sun Wukong, Marshal Tianpeng, and Wuzhiqi would be envious of such an action!

Everyone knows that the teacher’s most powerful skill is thunder magic!

The teacher is almost the incarnation of Thunder Avenue, the embodiment of Tao, omnipotent, and the Lord of Thunder who can replace heavenly calamity and judge sin.

What does this “Thunder Judge Seal” mean?

Isn't it just to let Lin Lingsu become the prince of Jiejiao!

Such behavior shocked all the people in Jiejiao, but this anti-Buddhist action made many people admire Lin Lingsu. Such a genius is indeed worthy of Chaos Taoist Lord's cultivation!

All of Yuan Hong's disciples were convinced.

When it comes to fighting and killing, they are all good, but none of them have the courage and wisdom to be as cruel as Lin Lingsu and to destroy a saint's sect from the root.

Lin Lingsu's actions even reached the ears of Mengzi, the third-generation leader of the sect, who could not help but exclaimed: "As long as Lin Lingsu is promoted to the quasi-sage realm, he will be the fourth-generation supreme leader of the Jie Sect!"

It can be said that this action not only severely weakened the power of Buddhism, but also severely intimidated other sects of Xuanmen. Whether it was the remaining Chan sect or Ren sect, they all backed down when facing Lin Lingsu.

The "Shenxiao Taoist Sect" founded by Lin Lingsu, a branch of Jiejiao, also became the number one sect in the Xuanmen branch.

It is far ahead of many other branches of Xuanmen, such as Longhu, Maoshan, Shushan, Kunlun, Kongtong, Chunyang, Quanzhen, Zhengyi, etc.

Master Xinghe smiled slightly at Lin Lingsu's actions. This was a good disciple that he had personally found for him!

Now, the power of the immortal way is slowly failing to manifest. At this time, Lin Lingsu has made a great name for himself and established the "Shenxiao Taoist Sect". In the future, Jiejiao will still be prosperous!

It can be said that Lin Lingsu's actions this time truly achieved multiple goals at one stroke, and made the most adequate preparations to preserve the power of Jiejiao before the "End of Dharma".
