Xuanmen.
The mystery of the mysteries, the door to all the wonders.
The Xuan Sect is about achieving transcendence, emulating the nature of heaven and earth, using natural creation as an object to practice enlightenment and cultivation.
The cultivation method, simplified by Qingyu’s own creation work, has been combined with the methods of Qi practitioners from the ancient times to form the foundation of the Xuan Sect’s cultivation.
It began in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and spread throughout the world with the support of the Northern Zhou court, posing a direct threat to the Taoist and Buddhist schools.
After all, now that the Daoist Sect had been purged repeatedly by Qing Yu, those who really dared to jump out completely against him were, after all, in the minority.
Most were in fact wallflowers, and those who offered their lives for Bai Yujing and the Daoist Ancestors were after all a minority.
The Buddhist sect, on the other hand, can only be described as a hundred and one ruins waiting to happen.
The battle at the Dazen Temple had left all the stalwarts of the Buddhist clan dead, and a hundred miles around the Dazen Temple had become a disaster area, with numerous natural disasters. Even if some temples that had joined the Daoist sect jumped back, it would be difficult for the Buddhist sect to rise again.
On the contrary, when it comes to ordinary believers, the Buddhist sect has the advantage of pulling in many people to believe.
Meanwhile, in the shadows, the Devil’s Way was also on the move.
The new-born Devil’s Way is based on the Devil’s Blood pa*sed down by Qing Yu. It uses the Blood Refining Martial Dao to quench the Devil’s Blood, and also cultivates the Human Immortal Martial Dao methods that Qing Yu has recently unified, ascending towards the body of a god and a devil.
These two represent the two sides of Qing Yu’s holy demon, and they are the Dao that has been pa*sed down to him through the integration of all that he has learned.
These two sides are a fusion of the Qi Practitioner heritage and the Blood Refining Martial Dao, which are also considered ancient heritage.
This is also considered to be a wave of fervour, at least not losing out to others in terms of length of heritage.
The appearance of these two Daoist traditions represented the real beginning of Qing Yu’s confrontation with the two Buddhist and Daoist schools.
So, first, Yan Devil and Dryad led the demon army to start killing the two forces that had infiltrated Northern Zhou, killing them from the north to the south and vaguely taking the opportunity to wipe out the territory they had just laid down.
Later, the Xuan Sect, led by the Divine Sky Path and the True Martial Sect, began to hunt down and kill those who had betrayed them, the most vicious of whom were the monks who had jumped to rebellion.
These monks, who had originally grown their hair and become virtuous, now ate their way back and went to send back their monks. Since this was the case, Lin Zixiao and the others did not mind removing their heads, so that they would not have the trouble of growing hair from now on.
The soldiers were divided into two directions and killed on both sides. From the north to the south, the heads of the betrayers could have been forged into a capital view.
The bloodshed along the way made those wallflowers who were watching tremble and have trouble sleeping at night. At this moment, they once again recalled the horrors of Qing Yu and the purges of several years ago.
It was clear that only a few years after that bloody killing, these people had habitually forgotten the bloodshed then, and it would take the same thing to jog their memories again.
Let’s just say that people are forgetful.
“Amitabha.”
In the White Horse Temple, the Buddhist sect’s current middle White Horse Temple presiding officer, True Ting, chanted a light Buddhist hymn and said, “It seems that it is Daoist Sovereign Qing Yu who has returned.”
For the past eight months, the Northern Zhou had been mainly retreating and had not made any moves even when the Buddhist Sect had resurfaced again. Now they had suddenly reversed their normal behaviour and started purging the betrayers, which could only mean that Ming Qingyu had returned.
And ——
The speed at which Zhending twisted the Buddha beads unconsciously accelerated, forcibly suppressing the horror in his heart.
It was very likely that Qing Yu had broken the realm and become the third Dao realm in the ancient world. Otherwise the reaction of Northern Zhou would not have been so intense.
This conjecture, which True Ting was not a little sure that it was true, he did not dare to say. To say it would be to strike a blow at the morale of the newly resurgent Buddhists, and at the same time reveal his own fears.
“Qing Yu has become a Daoist realm.”
The words suddenly came from behind him, telling the truth that Zenith did not dare to say.
“Son of Buddha.”
All the people in the hall bowed to the source of the words and chanted the name “Son of Buddha”.
The Buddha Son’s body glowed with Buddha’s light, his face was unknown, and an invisible and majestic wave emanated from his body, saying, “The Buddha has sent a message to the poor monk that Qing Yu has become a Daoist. The actions of the Northern Zhou should have been ordered by him.”
“The Buddha has come into the world?” Zhending was surprised and puzzled, and the rest of the people made the same gesture.
They were more concerned about the Buddha’s advent than the realm of Qing Yu Cheng Dao. Eight months ago, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss was opened wide, and this son of Buddha descended from the Pure Land, bringing the Buddha’s order.
It was also because the Buddha’s son had proved the Buddha’s advent that those of the Buddhist sect who had returned to the Daoist sect had risen in revolt.
It can be said that the Buddha is their strength.
Now that the Buddha has once again sent a message, does it not prove that the Buddha has finally come to earth?
When they thought that the Buddha was there, the worried crowd finally put their minds at ease.
So what if Qing Yu had achieved the Dao Realm? It was the same for the Buddha. Compared to Qing Yu, who had just attained the Dao, the Buddha, who had been in the Dao realm for thousands of years, would not be afraid of him.
Although it is rather foolish to use time to measure strength, for mortals, and even for martial artists like them, time is the most precious thing.
To measure strength and weakness by what is most precious to them is an instinct of sorts.
And, between the Buddha, who had long been deified, and the mortals who had watched each other rise to power, anyone else would unconsciously lean towards the Buddha.
“All of you need not worry about Qing Yu, he has his own Buddha to deal with, what we need to deal with are those demons of the demonic dao under Qing Yu’s command, and the demonic dao.” Buddha Zi said.
Soldier against soldier, king against king, the current Qing Yu was not something they could deal with, the only one who could deal with the Dao Realm was the Dao Realm.
However, even if they left out Qing Yu, those strong men of the Northern Zhou were not that easy to deal with.
The current Northern Zhou is a monster of the trinity of the Xuan Sect, the imperial court and the Devil’s Way, and is the power with the most powerful people in the world.
So ——
“Join forces with the Daoist clan. On the Daoist side, the killing heart of Qing Yu is not lower than ours. The Zhang clan in Mount Longhu, and that Pei sect leader who was saved by the Taoist ancestor, they all have a deep hatred for Qing Yu and Northern Zhou.”
At the faint words, the Buddha’s light outside the Buddha’s son’s body turned slightly inward, revealing a young and clear face.
“At least in dealing with this aspect of Qing Yu, we and the Daoist Sect are on the same side of the trench. For now, let’s first focus on eradicating the Northern Zhou.”
“Yes, Son of Buddha.” The monks said in unison.
There were no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. In the face of today’s Northern Zhou, even the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, which had fought each other for thousands of years, had to put aside their respective grudges.
They would be excellent allies, at least until they eradicated the Northern Zhou.
The Buddha’s light once again diffused, obscuring the familiar face of the Buddha’s son, “Stand down, the poor monk is about to begin his cultivation.”
The monks bowed once more and quietly retreated.
In the main hall, as for the Buddha Zi, he sat alone.
“The poor monk has come to life after all, perhaps the poor monk should thank you, Qing Yu ——”
After this sound, the great hall fell into complete silence.
