The past is fixed, but the future can be changed. Every action now may lead to infinite timelines. After Taoist Hongjun put things right, the trend of heaven gradually returned to the right track.
Jin Chanzi brought Sun Wukong and others and successfully arrived at Lingshan. They were all awarded the fruit position, but there was no happiness on Jin Chanzi's face.
Without Han Yi's help, although he still had a debate with Maitreya, without the support of the saint, he could not make Maitreya give up the Buddha's throne.
He returned to the Tang Dynasty in the East with the scriptures, but he was unwilling to fail. When he took the scriptures away, he also asked Amitabha Buddha for some wordless scriptures.
Since the position of Maitreya Buddha was difficult to shake, he wrote Buddhist scriptures himself, expounded the mysteries of Buddhism, and opened up a new school of Buddhism based on Mahayana Buddhism.
Amitabha Buddha is happy to see this happen. Although the new branches of Buddhism will make more voices appear in Buddhism, it can also promote the growth of Buddhism's fortune.
Jin Chanzi returned to the Tang Dynasty, began to preach, and tried to open up a new branch of Buddhism.
He succeeded!
Seeing this, many Buddhas in Lingshan followed suit and began to spread their ideas among the people. Buddhism also flourished in the world as the Dharma spread.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of years have passed.
In the beginning, Buddhism was only divided into Mahayana and Hinayana, but now, with the continuous development of Buddhism, eight factions have emerged on this basis.
The eight Buddhist sects, namely Faxiang School, Dharma Nature School, Lotus School, Huayan School, Zen School, Pure Land School, Vinaya School, and Tantric School, together make up the Buddhism today.
The Dharmalaksana School is the masterpiece of Jin Chanzi. Its teachings are based on the five dharmas, three self-natures, eight consciousnesses and two non-egos, and its purpose is to transform consciousness into wisdom.
The five dharmas are: one name, two characteristics, three distinctions, four right wisdoms, and five suchnesses.
The three self-natures are the imaginary nature, the dependent nature, and the perfect nature.
The eight consciousnesses evolved on the basis of the six consciousnesses, namely eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness, mind consciousness, manas consciousness, and alaya consciousness.
The two non-selves are non-self of the person and non-self of dharma.
By virtue of his act of founding a branch of Buddhism and the luck he gained from his journey to the West, Jin Chanzi also killed two corpses in one fell swoop and successfully became a great supernatural being.
Zen Buddhism, on the other hand, was developed by Guanyin and others based on the teachings of the Chan school. It encompasses the essence of Buddhism and Taoism, and has become the most prominent faction in Buddhism.
Although the general trend of heaven has deviated to some extent, it has basically returned to the right track.
Di Jun entered the Heavenly Palace and became the second Heavenly Emperor of the Xuanmen Heavenly Palace. The name of Emperor Ziwei resounded throughout the world, and endless luck converged towards him.
Upon seeing this, Taiqing Laozi was unwilling to be left out, so he spread the holy words, opened more Taoist gates, and established countless Taoist branches to compete with the many Buddhist sects.
Taoism also flourished.
But these are just superficial phenomena!
The Heavenly Dao and Hongjun fell into silence, Nuwa took charge of the Human Dao, Hunkun retreated temporarily, and the original bodies of the saints had not returned yet, as if they were waiting for some opportunity.
The first to take action was Nuwa. After she took charge of humanity, she quickly gathered the destiny of humanity and helped Shennong and Xuanyuan become saints of humanity.
The Three Emperors had already accomplished perfect merit and were only one step away from attaining enlightenment. With the help of Nuwa and humanity, they reached the highest level and naturally crossed this threshold easily.
As for the Five Emperors, they were merely persons with great supernatural powers and did not yet possess the qualities to become saints of humanity.
Moreover, humanity is the way of all living beings. Although the human race is the protagonist of heaven and earth, it is impossible for it to monopolize the holy position of humanity. Neither Nuwa nor humanity will allow this.
However, since Nuwa is in charge of humanity, she will naturally find a way to make humanity perfect.
So she went to West Kunlun in person to persuade Queen Mother of the West to join the humanitarian system.
The Queen Mother of the West is the chief of the female immortals and is also a person of great fortune. Now that Fuxi has attained enlightenment, she will no longer be suppressed by the origin of yin and yang in the ancient times.
Therefore, she readily agreed and became the fourth saint of humanity.
Afterwards, she found Kong Xuan, Yuan Ming and Zhu Long, and with the status of saints of humanity, she took possession of the fortunes of the Phoenix Clan, the Demon Ancestor and the Dragon Clan.
Yes!
Kong Xuan has entered the realm of ancestors.
As for Yuan Ming, after Han Yi fell into the catastrophe of losing himself in Daluo, he wanted to flee to the chaos to avoid being liquidated by Hongjun, but Nuwa recruited him to the humane camp.
At this point, humanity also had seven saints, on par with the way of heaven and the way of earth.
Today, the saints of the Heavenly Way include Hongjun, Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Fuxi who inherited the Dao fruit of Nuwa.
As for the authentic saints, apart from Han Yi who fell into the calamity of losing himself, there are Lu Ya and Kunpeng who escaped into chaos, and the other three are Ping Xin, Hou Tu and Zhen Yuanzi.
The saints of humanity are Nuwa, Shennong, Xuanyuan, Queen Mother of the West, Kong Xuan, Yuanming, and Zhulong, representing all major races and forces in the ancient times.
Although Hunkun was not in Honghuang, he was always paying attention to the movements of Hongjun and Nuwa. After weighing the pros and cons, he made a bold decision.
"Since we can't beat them, let's join the prehistoric system!"
Through Kunpeng and Lu Ya, and the true spirits placed in the tunnel, he knew clearly that although there were six saints in the tunnel, there was currently no one who had achieved the Tao.
As for the origin of chaos that can make up for the origin of the tunnel, he still has a lot in his hands, enough to perfect the tunnel and use the power of the tunnel to compete with Hongjun and Nuwa.
The tunnel would naturally not refuse. After all...
Looking at the entire chaotic universe, only the Hun Kun, which feeds on the initial time and space and the embryonic form of the universe, can provide enough to complete the authentic chaotic origin.
This is an advantage that Hongjun and Nuwa do not have.
Therefore, with the cooperation of Kunpeng and Lu Ya, Hunkun quickly brought Wutan into the underground tunnel, and directly merged with the tunnel to become the ruler of the prehistoric underground tunnel.
Including Han Yi who fell into the calamity of losing myself, the underground way actually has eight saints. But if Han Yi is not counted, the underground way is on par with the heavenly way and the human way.
"interesting!"
After Hunkun entered the tunnel, he wanted to use the power of the tunnel to wake up Han Yi, who was trapped in the calamity of losing himself, and obtain the "Xuanming Qi" from him. However, no matter how hard he tried, Han Yi's Dao fruit did not react at all. He immediately knew that Han Yi had voluntarily fallen into the calamity of losing himself.
He didn't want to return, and there was no way he could do that even if it was through the underground tunnel.
As for Haotian and Yaochi, they were imprisoned by him in a mysterious space evolved from a tunnel, and used as bargaining chips in future negotiations with Hongjun.
At the same time, he was also looking for a suitable candidate to be the saint of the underground world, preparing to evolve the prehistoric underground world to a perfect level before Hongjun and Nuwa.
But unfortunately, if one wants to carry the authentic career position, even if one is not Hunyuan Daluo, one must walk out of his own path and possess the strength and realm of a ancestor.
Such existence can be said to be rare in the prehistoric world. Either they have become saints, or they have been accepted by the way of heaven and humanity!
Hunkun was helpless.
In his hand, Haotian does have the qualification, but he is Hongjun's man. If he gives the last saint position to him, he is still worried about being stabbed in the back by Haotian!
Endless years passed, Buddhism flourished in the world, and Taoism was also in its heyday. The great calamity between Buddhism and Taoism that was supposed to break out was naturally impossible to happen again because it was triggered in advance by Han Yi. However, the calamity energy between heaven and earth increased day by day, and soon evolved into a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.
Since the original bodies of several saints were not in the prehistoric times, the disciples below became restless and the first war between Buddhism and Taoism soon broke out.
Nearly one million Buddhist and Taoist disciples participated in this battle. The sky was dark and the sun and moon lost their light. It was even more terrifying than the Conferred God Tribulation.
Both Buddhism and Taoism are forces under the Heavenly Dao. When they fight among themselves, Hunkun and Nuwa, as well as the forces belonging to the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao, are naturally happy to see it happen.
But Hongjun, naturally, did not want to see this scene, so he issued a decree, asking the incarnations of the saints to take action to quell the unrest, and then he thought of dragging the tunnels and humanity into the quagmire.
Under various conditions, the underworld became the fuse for the struggle between heaven, earth and man.
Taoism, Buddhism, humans, dragons, phoenixes, and demons all want to seize power over the underworld, but matters of reincarnation concern the future of all their forces.
Take the human race for example. If the number of reincarnated human beings increases, the human race will naturally prosper. With such a large population, more practitioners will be born, thus benefiting the human race's fortune.
Especially the current Emperor of Fengdu, who is the incarnation created by Xuandu using the Supreme Forgetfulness Method. The position of Luofeng Liutian is also held by the cultivators of the human race.
Under the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, a war broke out in the underworld. The underworld established by Dating, Xia Qi, Cheng Tang, Ji Chang and others immediately became the target of public criticism.
In this battle, several powerful masters took part and almost brought the Netherworld to collapse.
It was only after Pingxin saw that the situation was not good that he invited the witch clan under Hou Tu to temporarily quell the unrest.
but……
This is only temporary!
Taoism and Buddhism took advantage of this opportunity and took action immediately. The human race also asked the dragon and phoenix for help. Emperor Jun, who had become the Emperor of Heaven, was even more eager to make a move.
On this side of the tunnel, the Bone Clan and the Soul Clan in the Netherworld also began to take action, intending to re-establish the order of the underworld, and they joined forces with the Witch Clan.
A war that swept across the three realms of heaven, earth and man and penetrated all the worlds in the ten directions broke out instantly, but the saints of the three realms of heaven, earth and man tacitly did not intervene personally.
Because they know that the current primitive world cannot sustain a great war at the saint level.
The war intensified. Strong men from the human race, dragon race, phoenix race, witch race, bone race, soul race, demon race, heaven, underworld, Taoism and Buddhism joined the war one after another. Countless practitioners died. No creature in the prehistoric world could escape unscathed. The number of lives lost exceeded that of any other catastrophe.
Immortals and gods lay dead, demons shed blood, dragons and phoenixes were beheaded, blood flowed like a river, and there were thousands of wails. The raging river of blood was pulled by the unknown and flowed into Guixu.
The former Netherworld Blood Sea reappeared in the prehistoric world, but it was not reborn in its original location. Instead, it completely merged with Guixu.
All of this is naturally related to Han Yi. Although he has fallen into the calamity of losing himself, his path has been contaminated by the Styx, and the Netherworld Blood Sea will naturally gather and be reborn with him as the core.
In addition, the decline of the Asura clan, the Mosquito Taoist who successfully killed the three corpses and was sealed in Guixu by Hongjun was also one of the reasons that affected the location of the blood sea's rebirth.
Of course, due to the successive wars, too many Yin gods in the underworld died, which also affected the cycle of reincarnation, making it impossible for many fallen creatures to be reincarnated.
In this case, Guixu became the second destination for these fallen people.
"This is truly a God-given opportunity!"
Taoist Mosquito took the opportunity to seize the power of Asura, and with the endless sea of blood and the souls of hundreds of millions of lives, he began to re-evolve the Asura clan in Guixu.
He could feel that when the world returned to the ruins and the heaven and earth were destroyed, the Guixu Avenue would become extremely powerful, and Han Yi would return from endless time and space.
Therefore, he hoped that the world would become as chaotic as possible!
most……
It's the collapse of heaven and earth! (End of this chapter)
