Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Ten years have passed by in a hurry.

During the past ten years, Jiang Sheng has been practicing in Nantianmen, and he has lived a peaceful life.

Compared to Jiang Shenglai, the other true disciples were very busy.

Both Lin Fan and Ling Yu were busy refining their magic weapons, improving their own cultivation and making preparations for the battle among the three realms.

It's not just the true disciples of Penglai that are like this. The true disciples of Qinghua Taoist Sect and Tianhe Taoist Sect are all working hard to train themselves.

But Dao Zong did this just to avoid losing face for Xuanmen.

I don’t know if they noticed that the atmosphere of the three Xuanmen sects was a bit strange, but the true disciples of the Dajin Zen Temple and the Datianlong Temple were very diligent.

In recent years, led by the Great Golden Temple, the Six Wisdom Buddhists have flocked to other holy places to confirm the situation on all sides.

This gambling fight concerns the Taoist inheritance of the two families, and both parties cannot afford to be careless.

Compared with Xuanyi of Qinghua Taoist Sect, Lingwei of Penglai Taoist Sect, Kong Zhen and Jin Qiong of Demon King Palace, the main focus of Dajin Zen Temple is still on Jiang Sheng.

Inside the South Heaven Gate, in the Penglai Palace.

"Master Lingyuan is leading a carefree life. I envy him for his leisurely life."

"I still believe what Master Guanghe said."

Jiang Sheng couldn't deny Guanghe's words. After all, Guanghe had been very busy in the past two years. The leader of the Six Wisdom Buddhas had visited all the holy places in the hope that all the families could unite and resist the Hengsha Realm.

Obviously, in the eyes of the Great Golden Zen Temple, the Hengsha Realm is undoubtedly the number one enemy.

"Master Lingyuan, we are not the enemy of Xuanmen. If we don't stop Hengsha Realm, Shanhe Realm will belong to Mahayana Buddhism."

"That's all I have to say. Taoist priest, please think about whether what I said is true or not."

After some communication, Jiang Sheng saw Guanghe off, and another figure appeared behind Jiang Sheng.

Lin Fan looked at Guang He's receding figure and smiled, "They really value you. Although I've heard that you've made a great name for yourself in the past two years, but seeing that all the disciples from various holy places have come to you in the past few days, I really believe the rumor."

"Master Lingyuan, the most powerful of his generation, the best genius of all time."

Jiang Sheng laughed unhappily and said, "Who are you trying to choke with these words?"

"The Buddhist sect came to look for me because they had no other options. After all, the Hengsha Realm came in to seize their Taoist heritage."

"The Demon King Palace came to look for me just to find a backup plan. After all, both Buddhism and Shintoism have a bad attitude towards the demons."

Lin Fan nodded: "It seems that the Great Golden Zen Temple and the Great Tianlong Temple are really anxious and have been asking for help from all sides. Could it be that they think that my Xuanmen would deliberately lose the bet?"

Jiang Sheng waved his hand: "Don't talk about this, I just happen to have something to ask you, let's go back first."

The two returned to the palace, and Jiang Sheng said in a deep voice: "Over the years, you have been practicing with Emperor Donghua, learning his Tianyang method, and your research on the way of the gods has become more and more advanced. In your opinion, what if I enter the way of the gods?"

Lin Fan looked at Jiang Sheng in surprise: "Why do you suddenly think of this?"

Jiang Sheng gently wiped the jade seal of the Lord of Justice in his sleeve and said, "Some elders in the sect told me earlier that it would be very beneficial for me to enter the Shinto path and experience the Shinto method."

"A Shinto prince I met before also told me that the wonders of Shinto cannot be mastered without personal experience."

"With my current level of cultivation, I won't be able to break through to the realm of refining emptiness in the next hundred years, but even if I settle down for another two or three hundred years after the gambling battle, I will eventually break through."

“I think, should I try entering the divine way first, or wait until I break through the realm?”

Lin Fan was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Yuan Chen, I won't hide it from you either."

"I did have some prejudice against Shinto before, but this time when I followed Emperor Donghua to practice, I found that the role of Shinto cannot be easily replaced by my immortal way or Buddhism."

"You also know that the last era was an opportunity for the prosperity of the divine way. If it weren't for the great catastrophe of the era, there would be no prosperous era of the immortal way today."

"But those Shinto gods, everything they do is in accordance with the will of heaven, and they have infinite merits and fortune in governing the three realms."

"Now my Taoist master is also in charge of the stars and the sky, but he is not as good as the gods." "The gods and immortals are originally one and the same. Whether it is managing wind, rain, thunder and lightning, the rotation of the sun and the moon, or regulating the netherworld and presiding over the six reincarnations, the gods are always more convenient than the immortals."

"The reason why I can follow Emperor Donghua to seek the truth this time is also because of the intention of the elders of the sect."

"Someday, I might want to go to the God's Way to take a look."

Jiang Sheng nodded: "What Shinto does is indeed for the stability and long-term operation of the world."

"It is often said that human hearts are in harmony with the will of heaven. Heaven will respond to what human hearts desire. The fact that Shinto can obtain its fortune and merits must be the result of complying with the will of heaven and human hearts."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "That's not something you would say, Jiang Yuanchen."

"Just tell me, what do you want to do?"

Jiang Sheng pointed in the direction of the East China Sea: "I previously refined an avatar, intending to let it handle the affairs of the sect for me, so that I can stay in the South China Sea with peace of mind."

"But I didn't expect this calamity to turn out like this."

"So I plan to let that clone enter the divine way for me first."

Lin Fan thought thoughtfully: "Are you worried about the theory of cause and effect?"

The concept of cause and effect is very important in Shinto.

After all, when you are in charge of your duties and manage the world, you will inevitably be entangled in cause and effect. Good causes lead to good results, or bad causes lead to bad results, everything will eventually explode.

The immortal path emphasizes detachment and is not easily affected by cause and effect, while the divine path cannot detach and will naturally be trapped by cause and effect.

Forty thousand years ago, the cause of that great catastrophe had long been covered up, but some things could be found out.

In the last era, the Divine Court of the Mountain and River Realm failed to suppress the cause and effect of that era. In the end, the cause and effect karma erupted and directly overturned the Divine Court.

The founders of the Penglai, Qinghua and Tianhe sects were undoubtedly the main forces against the heaven at that time, but they were only directing their forces according to the situation.

Jiang Sheng looked outside the Nantian Gate, at the colorful chaos: "How can ordinary people escape from the world of mortals and not be affected by cause and effect?"

"Unless one reaches the Pure Yang realm that is immune to all calamities, who dares to say that one can transcend it?"

"I just want to take a look at both the sky and the earth."

Jiang Sheng didn't finish his words, and there were some things on his mind that he couldn't tell Lin Fan.

True Lord Yuming once used the gods of the Panfeng Realm to refine the Taoist elixir, and broke through the realm and achieved integration in one fell swoop.

The prince of the prison whom Jiang Sheng had met before also said that he should go to the shrine to take a look.

Dejing Daojun even said that he had a connection with Shinto.

The fact that the Seal of the Lord of Justice fell into Jiang Sheng's hands also indirectly proved that Jiang Sheng must have had some entanglement with Shinto.

What's more, there is also the Jinque Tiandi who practiced together with the immortals and gods and attained the true yang.

The Golden Palace Emperor attained the True Yang through the ways of the immortals.

Buddha Jinjue achieved pure yang by combining the lapis lazuli path with the vajra path.

Jiang Sheng was also thinking in his heart: With an ordinary breakthrough, he is just a True Lord of Taiyi Dongxuan realm.

But if we use the way of immortals and gods to combine the Taoist fruit above Taiyi, is it feasible?
"The gods and immortals are one and the same, twins born from the same lotus."

"Perhaps I can put that clone into the Netherworld first."

Jiang Sheng gradually had some ideas in his mind.

"This time the three realms are fighting, not only Shinto, but also Buddhism. Maybe I should go and see how profound the Mahayana Buddhism is." (End of this chapter)
