Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 725 Dharma Assembly (2)

Tushita Palace!
Taishang Laojun looked at the void with an uncertain look!

When the Tang Dynasty rose to power, Taishang Laojun exchanged the secular world of Dongsheng Shenzhou for the Tang Dynasty to establish Taoism as the state religion.

This work of Taishang Laojun is like an antelope hanging its horns, and is his masterpiece.

In fact, Taoism did benefit greatly from being honored as the state religion by the Tang Dynasty.

Over the years, the reason why Buddhism has not spread in the Southern Continent is all due to the suppression of Taoism. Taoism has also developed rapidly in the Southern Continent by virtue of the reputation of the Tang Dynasty's state religion! Otherwise, how could Taoism suppress Buddhism?

With the benefit of being close to the Tang Dynasty before, Taishang Laojun saw at a glance the importance of the position of the Tang Dynasty's national master. Although the human authority of the Tang Dynasty's national master was controlled by the Tang Dynasty, this human authority was extremely important to the development of the sect in the human race.

If a Taoist disciple becomes the imperial master of the Tang Dynasty, even if he cannot stop the rise of Buddhism, he can at least hinder the spread of Buddhism among the human race.

The human race is the core of the saints' great religion's missionary work. Once there are some obstacles in the missionary work of Buddhism among the human race, it may really affect the fortune of Buddhism in the future.

This is what Taishang Laojun thinks, and so do the orthodox teachings, the evil teachings, Buddhism, the heavenly court, and all the great powers in the heavens!
The Chan Sect also had ideas about the position of the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty! During the Conferred Gods Tribulation, although the Chan Sect won the Conferred Gods Tribulation, the fruits of victory were stolen by Buddhism, and it suffered a great loss.

This time, the great catastrophe of heaven and earth has come again, and the people of the Chan sect are naturally holding their breath and want to make trouble for Buddhism. Otherwise, when Buddhism was advancing eastward, the Chan sect would not have targeted Buddhist disciples and suppressed them to death!
If the position of the imperial teacher of the Tang Dynasty fell into the hands of the Chan sect, then the Chan sect could openly suppress Buddhism in the earthly immortal world.

The Tang Dynasty is the orthodox human race in the Earthly Immortal Realm. The entire human race in the Earthly Immortal Realm is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty!

If Chanjiao, in the capacity of imperial teacher of the Tang Dynasty, tried to curb the spread of Buddhism among human beings, he would definitely be grasping the lifeblood of Buddhism.

Therefore, Chanjiao was determined to obtain the position of imperial teacher of the Tang Dynasty.

The Buddhist leaders certainly understand the ideas of Taoism and Chanism!
However, the Buddhist leaders were angry that the Tang Dynasty did not abide by the agreement.

However, the Buddhist high-ranking officials also understood clearly that the hype of a mere water and land conference could not compare to the position of the imperial master of the Tang Dynasty.

If the position of the imperial master of the Tang Dynasty falls into the hands of Buddhism, the prosperity of Buddhism will be even more unstoppable!

Although Buddhism also did not know why the Tang Dynasty did not follow the agreement and issued this decree.

However, this is definitely a good opportunity for Buddhism.

Of course, Buddhism does not believe that Buddhist disciples are inferior to others.

Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty!

Li Shimin chuckled and said, "Mr. Zhuge really has a plan in mind. Buddhism is reluctant to give up the position of the national teacher!"

Zhuge Liang also waved his feather fan and laughed, "The two Buddhist saints have planned countless events for the prosperity of Buddhism. The position of the national teacher will help Buddhism flourish. How can Buddhism be willing to give it up? How dare it come to the human race to ask for punishment?"

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Mr. Zhuge stirred up the situation with one trick, causing all the forces in the world to come to an end. I admire him! But."

Zhuge Liang's eyes sparkled with wisdom: "The emperor is worried about the human rights of the position of the state teacher."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Sir, since the 'Martial Ancestor' drove out the Holy Mother and the human religion, the power of our human race has never been touched by outsiders. Although the power of the human rights of the position of the National Master is insignificant now, I am afraid that in the future..."

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The great monks of the Chang'an Dharma Assembly were conferred titles by the Tang Dynasty. As for who can be the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, it is up to the Tang Dynasty to decide. In addition, the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty is only the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty."

Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and he looked at Zhuge Liang with burning eyes. Zhuge Liang continued: "A few days ago, His Majesty the Five Emperors issued an order that after this great catastrophe, regardless of whether the Tang Dynasty was promoted to an imperial dynasty, the emperor could move the Tang Dynasty to the prehistoric world in the name of the emperor!"

Li Shimin trembled when he heard this!
Only the ruler of the imperial dynasty can be called an emperor. The Five Emperors gave Li Shimin the title of emperor, which shows that the Tang Dynasty has been recognized by the top leaders of the human race. In the future, as long as the Tang Dynasty has enough strength to be recognized by the human destiny, it can be promoted to an imperial dynasty. It can be said that the current Tang Dynasty is one step ahead of those ancient human dynasties in the prehistoric world. It is not an exaggeration to call it a half-step imperial dynasty.

Li Shimin was excited and in high spirits, preparing to organize the Chang'an Dharma Assembly.

East China Sea!

Kuiniu, who had just come out of seclusion, was holding a piece of jade, with an unpredictable look on his face!

Jiejiao was also aware of the much-discussed position of the Imperial Master in the Tang Dynasty. However, Jiejiao, including Kui Niu, the head of Jiejiao, had no intention of interfering with the human race. Jiejiao even gave the identity of the person who should be robbed to the dragon race, so why would they care about the luck and merit of the great calamity of heaven and earth?

But the information contained in this jade pendant forced Kui Niu to take it seriously, because this jade pendant was sent by Emperor Gou Chen.

At the beginning, when the Monkey King made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and plotted against Buddhism and Heaven at the same time, Kui Niu knew that he had transformed himself into a sworn brother to the Monkey King and he would definitely not be able to hide it from the Monkey King.

Initially, Kuiniu realized that the Monkey King and Zhu Qi had an inexplicable connection, so he transformed into a calamity and became sworn brothers with the Monkey King in Huaguo Mountain. Originally, Kuiniu wanted to assist the Monkey King in the great calamity of heaven and earth. However, Kuiniu has not helped the Monkey King yet. The causal fate of his sworn brotherhood with the Monkey King has benefited Kuiniu greatly, and he has taken a key step in his promotion to Hunyuan Jinxian (quasi-sage).

Because of the causal fate of swearing brotherhood with the Monkey King, Kuiniu's own aura fluctuated, and he had to retreat to break through. Although Kuiniu broke through to the level of Hunyuan Jinxian (quasi-sage) in retreat, he also missed the Monkey King's havoc in heaven.

These days, Kui Niu had been thinking about visiting the Monkey King at the Gou Chen Imperial Palace, but before Kui Niu could make the trip, the Monkey King's jade pendant arrived first!

After holding the jade pendant and thinking for a moment, Kuiniu used his magical power to turn the jade pendant in his hand into powder.

Then, Kuiniu waved his hand, and the jade pendant disappeared into the void.

Go to Chen Emperor Palace!

Emperor Gou Chen looked at the jade pendant flying out of the void and stretched out his hand.

Then, his consciousness swept over the jade jade, and he heard Kuiniu's heavy voice; "Yes."

Emperor Gou Chen crushed the jade pendant with a smile and closed his eyes to practice again!

The underworld, Mount Jiuyi!
The gourd clone (Tianqi Rensheng Great Emperor) said to the void: "Kui Niu has agreed!"

The void was silent, as if the gourd clone (Tianqi Rensheng Emperor) was talking to himself! However, the gourd clone (Tianqi Rensheng Emperor) knew that the man had already known the news.

Southern Continent!

Yecheng is an extremely inconspicuous small city in Southern Continent of the Tang Dynasty!

Yecheng has no geographical advantages and no rich resources. It is just a settlement of ordinary human beings.

There is a farm thirty miles south of Yecheng.

In the farm, a young man with sharp eyebrows and deep eyes played with the jade token in his hand and whispered: "The master gave you to me back then, but I didn't expect that countless years would pass and you would come back again!"
