In the Heavens

Since the Holy Land of Lingshan received the news that Daqin established Daomen as the state religion, the atmosphere on Lingshan has become strange.

Successive failures have made more and more Buddhist monks begin to doubt: Is it true that the number of kalpa days is in Buddhism?

According to the normal rhythm, the number of days added to the body should be invincible. But when placed on Buddhism, it was a series of failures.

First, they were caught by the Daoist sect and gave them a big blow; then they planned a sea of ​​blood, and they both suffered losses; everyone was busy licking their wounds to recover, and now they received the bad news of the cooperation between the human race and the Daoist sect.

As the protagonists of heaven and earth, the human race occupies more than half of the prehistoric luck, and Buddhism absolutely cannot avoid the human race if it wants to prosper.

But the current Great Qin Dynasty and the Buddhist concept are completely incompatible. Countless Buddhist monks went to the human race to preach, but they all returned in embarrassment.

Even if it is a fluke to keep the Taoism, it will be classified as "evil and crooked", and it will be despised by the world, and it will not be accepted by the human race at all.

Such a bad situation naturally affected the morale of Buddhism. As the boss, Tathagata is even more stressed.

A boss who cannot lead everyone to victory is destined not to have prestige. If it weren't for the full support of the two saints, his Buddha position would have been lost long ago.

Saint's support is not omnipotent. If they can't make any more achievements, it will be a matter of time before they get replaced.

There is no way to go back to the Taoist school. If the current Buddha position is lost, the Tathagata's only self-respecting way will be lost.

"Since the two Buddhist mothers founded Buddhism, our Buddhism has experienced hundreds of millions of years of vicissitudes. The teachings of the past are no longer applicable to the current world.

For the prosperity of Buddhism, to spread the brilliance of Buddhism throughout the prehistoric world, and for hundreds of millions of living beings in the prehistoric world to be bathed in the light of Buddha, this seat intends to modify the teachings in line with the way of heaven. "

As soon as he opened his mouth, he threw out a huge thunder, which scared all the Buddhas to death. The teachings of Buddhism are determined by the two holy places in the West, and the Buddhas only make various interpretations on this basis.

It's just that the core is there, no matter how you interpret it from different angles, it's impossible to go too far.

Tathagata proposed to revise the teachings as soon as he came up, obviously not just to reinterpret the scriptures, but to change the Buddhist philosophy from the root.

"Buddha, this matter is very involved. A little carelessness will shake the foundation of my Buddhism and affect the great prosperity that is opening."

Miller replied unceremoniously. There was not the slightest respect in the words, and there was a trace of disdain between the brows.

Obviously, this series of failures has exacerbated the internal contradictions of Buddhism. The direct line's dissatisfaction with Tathagata has risen to the extreme, and they don't even bother to cover up the most basic.

Originally, the prestige of the Tathagata was not enough, but now he wants to change the doctrine, which is even more intolerable for the direct line.

"The Buddha will worry too much in the future. Now our Buddhism's orthodoxy in the human race is almost zero. Even if the teachings are changed to cause turmoil, we will lose a lot.

Instead of sitting here waiting to die and wasting the time of my Buddhism Daxing, it is better to give it a go. You can rest assured that this seat will make this matter clear to the two Buddha mothers. "

Let go at this moment, not only Buddhism, but also Tathagata himself. There can be one failure or two failures, but it must not be repeated again and again.

The foundation of Buddhism is inherently weak, and the team assembled by the two Western sages by painting big cakes can't stand the toss at all.

In order to achieve results as soon as possible, Tathagata had to choose to burn the boat and gamble a big one.

If there is no competitor from Daomen, Buddhism can still use means to slowly force the human race to make a compromise.

But the reality is very cruel. Before the series of measures they prepared had time to start, the human race ran to embrace the Taoist sect.

It is a matter of days for Buddhism and Taoism to prosper in this calamity, but it is also a matter of days for the human race to be the protagonist of heaven and earth. If it were head-to-head, Buddhism would not be able to take advantage.

If the human race cannot be adapted to the Dharma, then the Dharma can only be adapted to the human race. If Buddhism and Taoism want to prosper among the human race, one party must make a compromise.

"snort!"

After expressing his dissatisfaction with a cold drink, Maitreya stopped dissuading him. Factional conflict is one thing, but it is related to the great prosperity of Buddhism, and he still knows the importance.

Buddhism now seems to have a big family and a great business. In fact, those who really have a centripetal force for Buddhism are those direct descendants of the original Western religion. The outsiders behind are either tricked or forcibly converted.

If the Buddhism follows the Dao of Heaven and prospers, then everyone is still our own; if the Dao of Buddhism is hindered, these guys who have come here because of their interests may disband at any time.

...

After Tianting hooked up the mansion of Emperor Chen and issued the personnel change, Li Mu was free again.

At his level of cultivation, the value of penance is not much. The highest state of Taoism following nature is that every word and deed is the Tao.

Of course, no one has really reached this legendary realm. However, Li Mu can still manage to integrate life into practice.

It seems to be dealing with official duties, but in fact this is also enlightenment. There are many avenues and laws in the prehistoric world, and some have room for development.

It is true that if you are too greedy, you may not be able to chew it, but it cannot last for a long life! Endless lifespan + vigorous law of heaven gave a foundation for the all-round development of all the prehistoric powers.

Thanks to the rich talent reserve of the martial arts lineage, Li Mu quickly set up a shelf and formed his own army.

Regardless of the combat effectiveness, at least the generals in command are above the passing line, and the heavenly soldiers and generals after the initial training are no longer what they used to be.

As for the lack of strength, it can only rely on time to slowly pile up. Ten thousand years is not enough, then 100 million years, as long as the cultivation time is long enough, even a pig can become a "Second Senior Brother".

The strength of the heavenly soldiers and generals in the heavenly court has stagnated, mainly because they were forced to switch to the divine way because they were on the list of gods, and they lacked sufficient resources to assist them.

There is an old saying in the prehistoric world - "the way of immortality is free, and the way of god is rich and honor".

"Freedom in the way of immortality" is easy to understand. Those who cultivate immortals pursue great happiness; "wealth and honor in the way of God" is not the pursuit of wealth by gods, but that the way of God must have sufficient resources to assist in achieving great success.

This is also the main factor for Immortal Dao to suppress Shindao. If Shindao did not require too much resources, the innate saints in ancient times would not have left the stage.

The best cultivation resources are naturally luck and merit, which can be used in both the immortal way and the divine way. The second-class treasures of heaven and earth, pills, and spiritual objects are also suitable for immortals and gods.

The difference is that gods can also use the power of incense belief to assist their practice, but immortals regard "incense" as highly poisonous.

It's not because the "incense" is poisonous, it's mainly because the power of the incense is contaminated with secular cause and effect, which is incompatible with the idea of ​​great happiness in the immortal way.

In ancient times, there were many innate races, and almost all of them were long-lived species. It is simply a dream to expect these creatures to become fanatics.

The ancient gods who did not have the power of faith to assist in their cultivation had no advantage over other cultivation methods, and the divine court had not even had time to be born, so they left early amidst the calamity of beasts.

This situation continued until the birth of the acquired human race, and then a race suitable for spreading beliefs appeared. But at this time, the ancient gods had already left the field, and those who survived either turned to the way of immortality or the way of magic.

After Conferring the Gods and Killing the Tribulation, Shinto revived again. It's a pity that this time is different from the past, the gods who are subject to the list of gods are inherently deficient.

Even if they switched to the divine way, it would be difficult for them to catch up with the immortal monks. After all, they are all half-way entry, and they are not gods born innately, so it is impossible for them to be 100% compatible with the god position.

In a sense, conferring the gods and killing the robbery is also the Taoist usurping the luck of the divine way. Li Mu has reason to believe that this is another plan by Hongjun Patriarch.

Using a group of disciples and grandchildren who were eliminated on the road of cultivation to occupy the position of the divine way first, cut off the hope of the revival of the divine way, and further consolidate the position of the Taoist immortal way, no matter how you look at it, it is a bloody profit.

It's just that it seems to have played too much, which caused the dissatisfaction of the saints. Only then did the Western religion rebel against the mysterious and establish the Buddha, and the saints of the Sanqing established their own Taoism.

Of course, the greater possibility is for the avenue. The six sages of the prehistoric and desolate are all firm seekers of the Tao. When their cultivation reaches their level, they have already blazed their own path.

If they continue to hang around in the Xuanmen, they will never be able to get rid of Hongjun's shadow. In order to practice one's own Dao, only Buddhism and Taoism were born.

"Master Ancestor, the power of faith stored in the imperial palace is about to be exhausted, and it is far from enough to meet daily needs only with the appropriation from the heavens. At the current consumption rate, it will take another 30,000 years at most."

Hearing the words of this disciple who did not know how many generations, Li Mu nodded slightly. Don't think that 30,000 years seems to be a long time. In fact, it is just a blink of an eye in the retreat of Da Neng.

Being able to persist for 30,000 years was not because of the rich reserve of power of faith in the Gochen Imperial Palace. The main reason was that the heavenly soldiers and generals only fired once every 30,000 years.

"Understood, send people to infiltrate the thousand worlds and the small thousand worlds attached to the prehistoric world, and spread the glory of the heavens over."

Li Mu said calmly.

Power is not in hand, and it will not wait until it expires. Heaven is not only the hub of the prehistoric world, but also the hub connecting the worlds attached to the prehistoric world.

In order to win Emperor Gouchen into the Heavenly Court, apart from seizing the opportunity to plan ahead for the next big era, another reason is that Li Mu has his eye on the subsidiary world attached to the prehistoric world.

The great world dare not expect extravagantly, this thing can be met but not sought. The Great Thousand World, which was born on almost every side, eventually fell into the hands of great forces.

The most well-known ones are: the thirty-three heavens in the heaven, and the eighteen heavens in the underworld, each of which is a vast world.

In addition to these, the ancient hidden world also occupied many great worlds attached to the prehistoric world. For example: Dragon Realm, Phoenix Realm, Qilin Realm...

There is no doubt that this kind of strategic world will naturally not lack the shadows of the saints.

It is said that Li Mu knew that the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss and Sanqingtian were also attached to the primordial Great Thousand World. The legend was created by a sage, but Li Mu doesn't know the exact truth.

Although these affiliated Great Thousand Worlds are not as good as the Great Desolation, they are unique in some aspects. For any major force, it is of great significance to win a party of Great Thousand Worlds.

Li Mu is not interested in snatching food from the tiger's mouth, but it is still possible to penetrate into the middle thousand world and the small thousand world attached to the prehistoric world.

If there is a big force entrenched, just make a card, if the world has no owner, then take advantage of the trend and take it into your pocket.

The reasons are all ready-made, the Great Emperor Gouchen is in charge of the war in the three realms, which naturally includes all the affiliated worlds that are attached to the prehistoric world.

Everything is to fulfill the duty of the Great Emperor Gouchen, to spread the glory of the heavens to the myriad worlds. As for bringing the human race and martial arts to the world, that is just incidental.

Although these worlds do not bring much benefit in the short term, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Especially when the power of incense is making ends meet, any open source makes sense.

The Emperor Gouchen Palace was busy spreading the glory of the Heavenly Court to the myriad worlds, and the situation in the Heavenly Court became more and more clear. After taking the position of Emperor Ziwei, the power of the Heavenly Emperor became stronger and stronger. angry.

As for the immortal gods of all races, under Li Mu's instruction, they chose to lie down early, and the impact they received was the least.

It doesn't matter if the authority is dispersed, as long as the interests obtained are not damaged, then everything is negotiable.

As the emperor of heaven, there is nothing wrong with the Jade Emperor strengthening his own authority, but in the course of his actions, he crossed the line a little bit.

The problem cannot be seen in a short period of time, but it can last for a long time. This is the biggest hidden danger.

Originally, it was explained that the two parties were opposed, and the strength was not good, but the human race and the gods with a large number of people acted as fools, and the power structure of the heavenly court was basically stabilized.

But with the strength of the Heavenly Emperor, this situation is gradually changing. Under the ravages of the power of time, hatred can also be diluted.

The two immortal gods of Jiechan, who were also suppressed and became rotten brothers and rotten brothers, gradually tended to merge under the secret mediation of the Supreme Saint.

Not only was the relationship between the immortal gods of the two lines eased, but many unrelated human immortal gods were also pulled over.

The undercurrent was constantly surging in the heavenly court, and Li Mu was a little terrified when he saw it, and his understanding of the saint went further.

No wonder he felt something was wrong before. Haotian's plan was really too smooth, the entire line of interception was fighting against the Emperor of Heaven alone, and the Taoist sect had never united once.

It seems that the Taishang Taoist ancestor who lives in the heaven is completely addicted to alchemy and has no mind to understand the affairs of Taoism.

Now it seems that the Taishang Taoist ancestor is clearly playing a big game of chess, trying to ease the internal contradictions of the Taoist sect by taking advantage of the pressure brought by the emperor of heaven.

I have to admit, this is a second move. Being on the list of gods does not mean that everyone has no ambition to make progress.

Although the probability of proving Hunyuan is infinitely reduced, theoretically there is still hope. In front of the Dao, hatred has to be put back.

After so many years of time, the hatred in the period of Conferring Gods and Killing the Tribulation has long faded, especially when everyone is a fallen person in the world, it is easier to arouse empathy.

I just don't know whether the plan of Taishang Daozu was noticed by the Emperor of Heaven. If you are discovered and follow the trend to make the layout, then there will be fun in the future.

No matter what the truth is, Li Mu, who has passed the test of emotional intelligence, decisively chose to see through but not to tell the truth.

The higher the cultivation level, the lower the bottom line of moral integrity. No one knows who got the trick, but Li Mu knows that in the prehistoric world, as long as the interests are right, enemies can also become "friends".

Don't look at the current quarrel between the Emperor of Heaven and the Taoist sect, maybe one day the two sides will unite again. If you get involved before then, you're definitely not human inside and out.

As the Emperor of Heaven, as long as his own strength is strong enough, he can become a "loyal" courtier regardless of any faction. Li Mu has personally experienced this.
