Starting from Comprehensive Martial Arts: Bu Dao Lu

Chapter 755 Untitled
Since Jiejiao had not formed an alliance with the human race, the only explanation for the human army's appearance in the Four Seas was Yuan Tiangang, the Tang Dynasty's Imperial Master. If the two forces had not exchanged interests, the human army would never have been able to penetrate the Four Seas; and Yuan Tiangang would never have become the Tang Dynasty's Imperial Master.

Although the Buddhist Master Xuanzang and Master Bodhidharma were eliminated early in the National Master Conference, the heroes promoted by the Daoist and Chan sects and the great forces of the heavens did not lose to Yuan Tiangang at all in the conference. Although Yuan Tiangang had invincible luck, the magical powers and Taoist methods he showed at the Chang'an Conference alone did not give him an overwhelming advantage in becoming the National Master of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it is very likely that Yuan Tiangang was a disciple of Jiejiao.

With the direction of the investigation, Taoism, Chan, and Buddhism quickly confirmed the identity of Yuan Tiangang as a disciple of Jiejiao. With the magical powers of the three religions, it was not difficult to reverse the identity of Yuan Tiangang after knowing the result.

Of course, the three religions only knew that Yuan Tiangang was a disciple of Jiejiao, and did not know the identity of Yuan Tiangang as the Martial Ancestor. With the background and strength of the Martial Ancestor, it would be very difficult for even a saint to thoroughly investigate his background, except for the Three Paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man and Hongjun Daozu.

How could the Six Saints of Heaven have the energy to pay attention to a small imperial master of the Tang Dynasty? The calamity of heaven and earth that seemed horrifying to the world was nothing more than a game of chess in front of the saints.

Back then, during the great calamity of the Conferred Gods, if the Saints Taiqing and Yuqing had not joined forces with the two Buddhist saints to defeat the Immortal Killer, causing the Saint Shangqing to become so angry that he would burst into true fire, the great calamity of the Conferred Gods would not have evolved into such a terrifying state.

For the Shangqing Saint, the 365 true gods on the Investiture of the Gods list were not a disaster for Jiejiao, but an opportunity. There were many disciples in Jiejiao who only cultivated supernatural powers but not Taoism, and it was not a bad thing for them to be on the Investiture of the Gods list and follow the path of gods.

Moreover, the positions of 365 true gods are nothing to the Jiejiao sect, which has tens of thousands of immortals coming to pay homage.

Therefore, when the great calamity of Conferred Gods just started, the Sage Shangqing did not care about the great calamity of Conferred Gods at all.

Otherwise, he would not have instructed his disciples to recite Huangting quietly and stay indoors.

What a pity! It didn't go as planned.

The Conferred Gods Tribulation was a good chess game of Xuanmen Heaven and Earth, but when the Saint Taiqing and the Saint Yuqing led the two Buddhist saints to the game, the Saint Shangqing was angered, and finally he took direct action and smashed the chessboard.

Jiejiao did not hide the identity of 'Yuan Tiangang'! After the identity of 'Yuan Tiangang' as a Jiejiao disciple was exposed, the news from Jiejiao also verified the results of the deduction of Taoism, Chanism and Buddhism. However, what the high-level officials of Taoism, Chanism and Buddhism and the great powers in the heavens did not understand was why Jiejiao spent so much effort to exchange interests with the human race and seek the position of the imperial teacher of the Tang Dynasty.

If it is said that Jiejiao coveted the opportunity of the great calamity, it does not make sense. During the entire great calamity of heaven and earth, except for those Jiejiao disciples who had to enter the calamity due to their destiny, there were few Jiejiao disciples wandering around in the entire earthly immortal world.

Although Jiejiao did not conceal the identity of "Yuan Tiangang", the Jiejiao did not care about the outside world's disputes! No matter how the outside world speculated, Jiejiao remained silent!

Of course, the disciples of Jiejiao themselves do not know the specific reason. In the entire Jiejiao, apart from the Sage Shangqing, only Kuiniu understands why Jiejiao is! Kuiniu's contribution to Jiejiao also makes the disciples of Jiejiao, although they do not understand, know, or comprehend, absolutely support any decision of Kuiniu.

The heavens and the worlds are in great turmoil.

After becoming the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang only issued a few edicts to regulate the preaching of monks, and then hid in the Imperial Master's Mansion to practice in seclusion.

These imperial edicts from Yuan Tiangang were not directed at any particular force! They were simply meant to constrain the cultivators from the perspective of the human race.

In addition, Yuan Tiangang, who was hiding in the Imperial Master's Mansion, did not even meet with the Jiejiao disciples, nor did he support the development of Jiejiao in the Tang Dynasty. Although the Jiejiao disciples were extremely low-key, there were still many inherited forces left by the Jiejiao disciples in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

In the past, the forces of these Jiejiao disciples had a very difficult life because they were too low-key. Of course, as long as these Jiejiao peripheral forces went to the Jiejiao territory, they would naturally be protected by the Jiejiao. But since these Jiejiao peripheral forces were unwilling to go to the Jiejiao territory, they naturally had some ambitions.

Many forces are thinking about strengthening themselves and bringing fame to Jiejiao.

After the identity of Yuan Tiangang as a Jiejiao disciple was exposed, these Jiejiao peripheral forces were very happy. In their view, with the support of Yuan Tiangang, the Tang Dynasty's national teacher, their development in the Tang Dynasty would certainly be very smooth.

What a pity! Yuan Tiangang stayed indoors and didn't even come out to support their development. Yuan Tiangang was a direct disciple of Jiejiao, so they were not allowed to have any say in how he acted, and they didn't dare to influence Yuan Tiangang's ideas.

However, 'Yuan Tiangang' did not express his opinion.

The official Tang Dynasty, however, provided strong support to the peripheral forces of Jiejiao!
In Li Shimin's eyes, the position of the Tang Dynasty's imperial master was nothing compared to the four seas offered by Jiejiao! Although Jiejiao had nothing to ask for, the Tang Dynasty could not fail to express its gratitude. Therefore, countless Jiejiao peripheral forces rose up in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, making the already bad reputation of Buddhism even more difficult.

Although the Heavenly Court, the Underworld, and Buddhism have successively issued Buddhist methods to deal with the karma of the Bloody Monk! However, the people of the Tang Dynasty are not satisfied with the actions of Buddhism! The human race has always had the tradition of revenge and grievance. In the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, since the Bloody Monk from Buddhism has committed boundless murders, Buddhism believes that it should also pay with blood.

Nowadays, Buddhism is indifferently trying to settle the cause and effect of the bloody monk in the name of holding a Dharma assembly in Uttarakuru, which is really a bit of an evasive act.

The people of the Tang Dynasty were dissatisfied with the Buddhist move because most of them had never practiced Buddhism and did not understand the cause and effect. The monks in the heavens agreed with the Buddhist move!
The core of the Buddhist Ullambana Festival is to pray for the blessings of heaven and earth with the merits accumulated by Buddhist monks for three years! How terrifying is the merit accumulated by the entire Buddhist disciples in three years? This is the merit of an entire sect for three years!

The fact that Buddhism’s response was able to suppress the public’s criticism shows that Buddhism definitely put in a lot of effort.

The Tang Dynasty's Imperial Master Selection Ceremony was very noisy for a while. Although Master Xuanzang was not eligible for the position of the Tang Dynasty's Imperial Master, the disturbances at the ceremony were all related to Master Xuanzang. Therefore, Master Xuanzang's reputation in the earthly immortal world was no worse than that of "Yuan Tiangang".

After the Tang Dynasty Dharma Assembly ended, Master Xuanzang first went to Chenjiazhuang to pay respect to his family, and then embarked on the path of practice alone. As Master Xuanzang continued to travel around the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism gradually stabilized its declining trend in the Tang Dynasty.

East China Sea, Huaguo Mountain.

The monkey clone opened his Dharma eyes, looked in the direction of Southern Continent, and murmured to himself, "It's almost there!" After that, he closed his eyes and began to practice.

Heaven, the Gou Chen Imperial Palace!
Emperor Gou Chen glanced at the Flower-Fruit Mountain in the East China Sea, then glanced at the Southern Continent, and closed his eyes, concentrating on refining the essence of the Monkey King in his hand.
