Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 324

Only one month after the First World War in Yangzhou, the scope of Maitreya Sect's control expanded from Yangzhou Prefecture to Zhenjiang Prefecture and Changzhou Prefecture along the canal.

The so-called expansion refers to absolute control, that is, there is no force in the local area that does not listen to the orders of the Maitreya Sect. It is the same as Yangzhou Prefecture. The court has the final say during the day, and the Maitreya Sect has the final say at night.

As for the influence, of course it is more than that, going north to Huai'an Mansion, south to Suzhou Mansion, west to Yingtian Mansion and Fengyang Mansion, not to mention that Maitreya Buddha is worshiped in every family among the people, but nine out of ten.

After all, the Maitreya Sect had a very good reputation in the past. Although due to the defeat of Jinling, the surrounding areas were controlled by the other two sects, and they were forbidden to worship Maitreya, but the people were not convinced.

Once Maitreya Religion regains momentum, faith will naturally return.

In addition, under the leadership of Fan Zhuoyuan, the Maitreya Sect has a mature strategy for economic development. Not only did it not disturb the people, but it suppressed the powerful, stimulated the economic development of various industries, and made the local area more prosperous.

Naturally, the people are more sincerely supportive, and the local government, because they can collect more taxes and have outstanding political achievements, naturally turn a blind eye to the various actions of the Maitreya Sect, and get along happily.

And the Maitreya religion is also operating by arranging its own people to take office among the court subordinates, and gradually infiltrating the grassroots rule of the court. If there is any emergency, such an arrangement can play a great role.

Fan Zhuoyuan will organize and train the new army, control the territory, train the samurai, develop the economy, etc. in parallel, and still have enough energy to go north, repel the forces of the Wenxiang Sect in Huai'an Mansion, and completely control the entire Huai'an Mansion.

In the past six months, apart from dealing with other matters, Fan Zhuoyuan was able to free up a certain amount of time due to the expansion of his power and the more talents under his command.

Now in the Theory of the Eight Consciousnesses of Ultimate Bliss, he once again destroys the olfactory system, using the real stick to flush himself into the nose, completely destroying the area where the olfactory cells are produced, but he did not do such a cruel and self-abuse act of cutting off the nose.

Prior to this, Fan Zhuoyuan used the method of controlling muscles to isolate the olfactory cells in the nose to initially adapt, and sometimes let go of the sense of smell.

This state is only suitable for preliminary adaptation training, but the corresponding mental methods in the theory of the eight consciousnesses of bliss cannot be cultivated.

Only by completely destroying the sense of smell can one formally start practicing the mental method.

Now with the five senses of the physical body, he has lost his sense of sight and smell, and then he still has the sense of taste, hearing and perception.

After losing his sense of sight and smell, Fan Zhuoyuan worked hard to practice the mental methods in the Theory of the Eight Consciousnesses of Ultimate Bliss to strengthen the remaining three consciousnesses. Now the other three consciousnesses have become more sensitive.

In terms of taste, Fan Zhuoyuan, the old man, has the deepest understanding. He can taste the ultimate sweetness even if it is a simple meal, and he can even taste the wind when he sticks his tongue out in the air.

The wind blows through different people and buildings, and the smell it brings is also different.

The warriors smelled of sweat, the literati smelled of ink, the common people smelled of various smells of working in the market and fields, and the dignitaries smelled of different kinds of strong incense.

In this way, as long as you see more in life and distinguish more finely, you will be able to clearly judge your own environment, how many people are around, and whether there is hostility.

Although the reaction is not as fast and intuitive as the eyes can see, it is also a strong advantage to be able to sense all kinds of details that cannot be seen visually.

When the sense of hearing is focused, you can even hear various movements in the ant nest under your feet through the soil, and describe various situations in the ant colony society in your mind, which is unspeakable.

If Fan Zhuoyuan wanted to, he could even concentrate his hearing on one side, especially strengthen the hearing in a certain area, and weaken the sound from other directions, so as to obtain more detailed information.

And perception is all kinds of tactile perception. It is so sensitive that it can judge the weather changes in the next few days in advance through various changes in temperature, humidity, and wind direction. Once in Huizhou Prefecture, it even sensed that an earthquake was about to occur in advance. The subordinates were amazed.

For all these things, Fan Zhuoyuan didn't lose his sense of hearing and smell, causing him to be unresponsive in all aspects. On the contrary, he became better than ordinary people after practicing the mental method in the theory of the Eight Consciousnesses of Ultimate Bliss.

Some people have successfully cultivated the first five senses of the Eight Consciousnesses of Ultimate Bliss, so the mental method has been improved, and the effect is even more outstanding. Now Fan Zhuoyuan has added his own understanding.

With his level of qi, blood and internal strength, it is enough to reinforce all kinds of deficiencies, which has surpassed the most primitive mental method of the eight senses of bliss in the previous world.

After half a year, whether it is my own martial arts or the accumulation of all aspects of the sect, it has reached all expectations.

As far as the task in his hands is concerned, only Yingtianfu Jinling has not taken it yet.

The title of Yingtianfu is Nanjing. Although it is not as economically as Yangzhou, this place is the political center of the south. If it can occupy this place, it will definitely affect the official circles in the north, central and south.

As an organization that aspires to become the number one religious sect in the world, Fan Zhuoyuan naturally cannot ignore the influence of the court. He not only wants to clean up his crimes, but also openly becomes a political force and affects the world structure.

At this time, half a year has passed since the battle in Yangzhou, and all the preparations that should be made have been done, only the soldiers left to enter Yingtian Mansion and take this area!
However, in the past six months, Fan Zhuoyuan was hesitant for a while due to the information about Ying Tianfu that he had inquired about.

Since Yingtianfu is the political center of the south, its public security conditions are not comparable to Yangzhou, a place where fish and dragons are mixed together.

The imperial court has heavy troops here. Even though they haven't been in battle for a long time, they have enough food and wages, as well as equipment and training, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

The forces in all aspects of the Jianghu are very low-key here. When the Maitreya Sect controlled the underground forces in Yingtianfu, neither the Wenxiang Sect nor the White Lotus Sect dared to attack directly, fearing that it would arouse the dissatisfaction of the nobles of Yingtianfu and be suppressed by the army.

Therefore, when dealing with the previous leader Qian, they adopted the strategy of assassination and ambush, using traitors to lure him out of the city, and arranged a murderous situation outside the city, which wiped out the influence of the Maitreya Sect in Jinling.

It is also very troublesome for Fan Zhuoyuan to win Jinling now.

Jinling is now under the control of the White Lotus Sect. Although the Wenxiang Sect helped, the influence of the Wenxiang Sect in the south is difficult to penetrate, and they are gradually expelled by the White Lotus Sect.

This is also the fundamental reason why the two sects clearly joined forces to deal with the Maitreya sect, but there are many contradictions.

Even if you only need to deal with the White Lotus Sect, it is not so easy.

There are already many officials in Nanjing City who are followers of the White Lotus Sect and have support from all sides. Fan Zhuoyuan has no way to bring people to kill him directly. The court will definitely not remain neutral like it did in Yangzhou.

But even if he chooses to ambushe, it is useless. The person in charge of Jinling is just an altar master of the White Lotus Sect, and he can be replaced after death.

Unless Fang Kaicheng, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, is directly killed and his power falls into a vacuum, then there is a chance to take advantage of it.

But this person's trace is hard to find, even if he has the martial arts that make the world laugh, there is no room for him to use it.

So up to now, Fan Zhuoyuan has only spread the influence of Maitreya Religion to the surrounding areas of Yingtian Mansion, such as Fengyang Mansion, Luzhou Mansion, Anqing Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, etc., so as to gradually infiltrate Ying Tian Mansion from the grassroots level, and change whales into cannibalism. The fighting area was transferred to the surrounding area of ​​Yingtianfu.

At this moment, Liang Tianyi came to the main arena in a panic and found Fan Zhuoyuan.
