Honghuang: I, Huanglong, refine the heavens and do not join the Chan sect

Chapter 256: Buddhist Conflict, Refining the Void Battlefield

Thousands of years later.

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

Just as Yuanshi Tianzun had deduced, Manjusri Bodhisattva and Cihang Zhenren did come up with the idea of ​​joining Buddhism in pursuit of the great way.

In order to save face, Yuanshi Tianzun personally took back what Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun and Cihang Zhenren had learned, leaving only the empty shell of Daluo Jinxianland, and sent them into reincarnation with his own hands.

The two saints from the West were quite helpless about this.

They wanted to stop it, but ultimately didn't.

People who practice cultivation attach great importance to cause and effect and destiny, especially between master and disciple, whose destiny is connected and cause and effect are extremely important.

Yuanshi Tianzun trained Manjusri and Cihang to become Daluo Jinxian, but they turned around and wanted to join another sect, which was really a bit far-fetched.

Not to mention that they failed to escape to the West, even if they entered Buddhism, the cause and effect have not been resolved, so Yuanshi Tianzun has the right to deal with them, and no one can say anything.

Everyone knows that Yuanshi Tian respects his reputation, so he can let Manjusri and Cihang leave the Chan sect and join the Western sect.

This is because the two saints from the West helped during the Conferred God Tribulation.

Otherwise, he would suppress Manjusri and Cihang in Kunlun Mountain forever and would never let them leave.

And this is his bottom line.

If the two saints from the West still want to go further at this time, it will probably trigger a war between saints.

Even though the Three Pure Ones have now separated and the Two Saints of the West have improved their cultivation, they will not want to go to war with Yuanshi Tianzun.

Especially since they are now wealthy and powerful, while some of the Chan sects are in decline.

If Yuanshi Tianzun really gets angry and takes the Pangu Banner to attack the Western Paradise, Buddhism will definitely suffer heavy losses, and the loss will outweigh the gain.

Moreover, they were already very satisfied to be able to accept Wenshu and Cihang, even if they were just the empty shells of Daluo Jinxian.

In a way, this isn't a bad thing.

Since you have chosen to join Buddhism, it is natural for you to change to practicing Buddhist techniques.

Now that Manjusri and Cihang's lifelong learning has been abolished, they have become more determined on their future path.

The two of them were forced into the reincarnation by Yuanshi Tianzun. It would probably take a long time for them to find their true selves and convert to Buddhism.

Fortunately, the three realms of the prehistoric world are stable now, so they still have this bit of time.

……

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

Huang Long has always kept a spectator's attitude towards the affairs of Buddhism and the Chan school, and has not paid too much attention to them.

However, this incident reminded her that part of the great aspirations and teachings of Buddhism involve the netherworld and underground creatures.

For example, Rakshasa, Asura, etc.

If Buddhism wants to prosper, sooner or later it will find a way to reach out to the underworld.

If Buddhism is sincere, Huanglong might consider cooperation.

But if they dare to play some tricks...

Huang Long narrowed his eyes slightly and sent a message to the Nine Nether Ghost Mother, asking her to be wary of Buddhism and make preparations early.

After all, after the birth of the Three Realms, the Western land was destroyed and then rebuilt, and its foundation was supplemented. Buddhism benefited from this and prospered.

The two saints in the West once made a great wish and promised to revitalize the West. They would definitely find ways to strengthen the power of Buddhism and implement Buddhist teachings.

Although I am not sure about the attitude of Buddhism, it is always right to make preparations early. This is Huang Long’s consistent style.

After sending the message, Huang Long temporarily put the matter behind him and didn't take it to heart.

Even if Buddhism wants to use some tricks, the two saints from the West would not dare to act rashly.

In this case, Buddhist disciples alone cannot shake the interests of the underworld. What else does she have to worry about?
If the Buddhist sect is really in despair, Huang Long can still take this opportunity to give the Two Saints of the West a good beating.

Besides, Huang Long has more important things to do.

After thinking for a moment, he sent out several rumors in succession.

One day a hundred years later.

Several powerful auras appeared outside Guixu, and under the guidance of Baimi Baimi and others, they came to the Yunyin Taoist Temple.

These people are Hou Tu, Queen Mother of the West, Chang Xi, Zhen Yuanzi, Minghe, Kunpeng, the Fire Cloud Cave lineage of the human race, the Nine Nether Ghost Mother and other ghosts and gods from the underworld, as well as the rest of the disciples of the Guixu lineage.

In addition, there are some powerful people from the demon clan and witch clan.

If it were any other time, the strong men from the two races, the Lich and the Warlock, would definitely have fought each other.

But this is the Yunyin Taoist Temple, and the person in front of them is the Yellow Dragon Saint. They dare not act recklessly, and they all stay where they are obediently.

Whether in the witch clan or the demon clan, Huang Long has a very high reputation.

If there had been no Huang Long, the losses suffered by both the Lich and Wizard races would have been even more severe during the Lich and Wizard Calamity.

What's more, Huang Long also rescued the Queen of Heaven Xihe and the bloodline of Haotian, and seized the Chaos Bell and a wisp of the remaining soul of Donghuang Taiyi.

Although no one knows whether Donghuang Taiyi can be resurrected or when he can be resurrected, there is at least hope.

Therefore, the demon tribe respects Huang Long very much. From a certain perspective, Huang Long's status in the demon tribe is no weaker than that of the saint Nuwa.

The same was true of Huang Long's sharing with the witch clan. Because of his intervention, Gong Gong saved his life, and even the fragments of the true spirits of the other ancestor witches were protected by Huang Long.

Even if the witch clan does not know what these true spirit fragments are used for, whether they can allow the ancestor witch to be reborn.

But it is undeniable that the Wu clan owes Huang Long too much.

So, after the two races of wizards and liches met, they just glared at each other and then looked away tacitly.

At the same time, they were all very curious about why Huang Long called them over.

In his voice transmission, Huang Long only said that it was a major event concerning the three realms of the prehistoric world, but he did not say what it was specifically.

When they saw Hou Tu and Chang Xi also looked confused, they became even more curious.

In the end, even the Six Saints of Heaven came here, and everyone was extremely curious.

Fortunately, after everyone arrived, Huang Long did not beat around the bush and said directly:
"I invited you all here this time for one thing."

"If this is done well, it can speed up the growth of the spiritual energy of the three realms, making the cultivation environment increasingly superior, and further promoting the evolution of heaven and earth."

Hearing this, all the powerful people present were slightly stunned.

Ever since the Three Thousand Worlds and the Furnace Array appeared, the origin of the three great worlds of the wilderness has completely stabilized, the spiritual energy is no longer lost, and is still growing slowly and steadily.

However, this process is very limited. As the number of living beings in the Three Thousand Worlds and the Three Realms of Primordial Chaos increases, their cultivation levels improve, and the number of transactions in the Ten Thousand Worlds Trade Tower increases.

Therefore, the demand for spiritual energy among all living beings in the ancient world is becoming increasingly greater.

Although it is impossible for the spiritual energy to be exhausted, as time goes by, the spiritual energy in the prehistoric world will become tight, and the speed of cultivation of living beings will also be affected.

If Huang Long can really speed up the growth of spiritual energy and promote the evolution of the primitive world, this would naturally be a great thing, and perhaps he could also gain a lot of merit.

Everyone sat up straight and listened attentively to Huang Long's plan.

Since it was a collaboration, Huang Long did not hide anything and directly explained the matter of the Star Spirit Transformation Array.

This time the Star Transformation Array will not only cover all the worlds, but also encompass three thousand worlds, so the requirements for the star flags and array materials are higher.

It is unknown how long it will take to complete the task if Huang Long, Guixu and the Netherworld Gods are the only ones to do so. Moreover, once this is implemented, it will definitely not be hidden from the Heavenly Saints and other powerful beings.

When that time comes, they will definitely find ways to get a piece of the pie.

In this case, it would be better to take the initiative to speak out about this matter, so that the Heavenly Saint and other forces would owe me a cause and effect.

After hearing Huang Long's plan, many powerful people including the Six Saints of Heaven were shocked. They were amazed at Huang Long's generosity and ambition, as well as his brilliant ideas.

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this was feasible and that if it were truly successful, they would benefit greatly.

In this regard, they were all extremely active and actively discussed the matter. With the wisdom of all parties, they continued to improve the matter, until their respective tasks were determined and the gods dispersed one after another.

Before leaving, Huang Long borrowed the Qiankun Ding from Nuwa again.

Although Nuwa has not yet broken away from the laws of nature, she is not subject to them either.

So she didn't hide anything and directly took out the Qiankun Ding and let Huang Long use it at will.

After seeing everyone off, Huang Long took a step forward, disappeared from Guixu, and appeared in the Immortal Volcano.

Since we are going to refine spiritual treasures next, it would naturally be better to do so in a holy place for refining equipment like the Immortal Volcano.

Then, he gently waved his sleeves, took out a large number of rare treasures, and threw them into the Qiankun Ding.

He mobilized the power of the furnace formation to generate a flame of terrifying temperature, melting the natural treasures in the Qiankun Cauldron into spiritual liquid.
It is worth mentioning that these natural treasures have the attributes of time and space, are between reality and illusion, and are extremely rare and precious.

Even for Huang Long, it took him a lot of time to collect so many.

If it were taken out, it would be enough to drive many great powers in the ancient times crazy, and even the Six Saints of Heaven would be jealous.

She took out these treasures this time because she wanted to refine a treasure——

Void battlefield!

After experiencing the calamity of the wizards and demons and the calamity of the gods, Huang Long understood one thing.

The great catastrophe is the heaven and earth clearing out the excessive number of practitioners, alleviating the burden on the world and slowing down the arrival of the infinite catastrophe.

However, when practitioners fight, it will also destroy the heaven and earth, deplete the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth, and increase the burden on the heaven and earth.

Even if the prehistoric world develops in the direction of the three elements running in parallel and turns into the three prehistoric realms, the spiritual energy will not be exhausted and the heaven and earth will not collapse.

However, if these things happen too often, they will still slow down the rate at which spiritual energy is added, and slow down the evolution of the three realms of the wilderness.

Huang Long refined this void battlefield, which is a magical treasure similar to the Trade Tower of All Worlds.

However, the function of the Trade Tower of All Worlds is to provide a place for trading for all living beings in the prehistoric world.

The void battlefield is used to provide a place for all living beings in the ancient world to fight.

If Taiyi Jinxian and Daluo Jinxian enter the void battlefield to fight, they can reduce the damage to the three realms of prehistoric times.

The damage caused by the battle will not destroy the surrounding spiritual energy, and the consumption of spiritual energy in the three realms of the ancient world will be slightly reduced. It will not harm innocent lives and reduce the generation of karma.

However, if the spiritual treasure is to withstand the battles of many Golden Immortals, it would place extremely high demands on the hardness of the spiritual treasure itself.

If it is just a battle between one or two Daluo Jinxians, most of the innate spiritual treasures can withstand it.

But if there are ten or eight of them, the requirements would be high. It would require hundreds or thousands of Daluo Jinxian to fight at the same time. Even the best innate spiritual treasures would find it difficult to withstand it.

What's more, in addition to the Daluo Golden Immortal, there are also a large number of Taiyi Golden Immortals in the three realms of the prehistoric world.

If Golden Immortals and Mysterious Immortals are also included, the pressure on this spiritual treasure will be even greater.

Therefore, if conventional methods are used, unless one refines a half-step innate treasure, one will not be able to withstand a battle of this magnitude.

Therefore, in addition to having a large enough space, this spiritual treasure also needs to find a way to reduce the aftermath of the battle.

Of course, if the aftermath of the battle can be completely eliminated, that would naturally be the best option.

This is Huang Long’s real purpose!

Looking at the three thousand great ways in the ancient world, the only one that can do this is the Great Way of Reality and Virtuality.

Although Huang Long is not as proficient in the Great Dao of Reality and Illusion as he is in the Great Dao of Death and Taiyin.

But he had been preparing for this spiritual treasure for many years, and now he had mastered 90% of it, and had produced a great Dao flower, which was enough to refine the Void Battlefield.

Ten thousand years of time pass in a flash.

For the first nine thousand years, Huang Long had been focused on refining the Void Battlefield.

It was not until a thousand years ago that this treasure was basically refined. The next step was to wait for this void battlefield to take shape and for the great way of reality and illusion to be integrated into the battlefield.

While waiting, Huang Long calculated with his fingers. After a while, he looked towards Xiniu Hezhou, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Just as Huang Long had thought, during these ten thousand years, Buddhism had indeed extended its hand to the underworld.

At first, only some minor Buddhist gods with weaker cultivation, such as monks, Vajra, and Jie Di, were there to save the souls of the dead, and these ghosts and gods were sent to the underworld through earthly immortals such as the City God.

The vast wilderness contains countless ghosts and vengeful spirits. It would be difficult to capture all the ghosts into the netherworld relying only on the underworld and the earthly immortal palace.

With the help of Buddhism, the earthly immortals and the underworld will naturally be willing to cooperate. It can be considered a mutually beneficial and win-win situation, and a pleasant cooperation.

But as time went by, the actions of the Buddhist sect became more and more excessive, constantly testing the bottom line of the earthly immortals and the underworld.

First, the Buddhist Arhats in the Taiyi Golden Fairyland converted some of the evil spirits into their own believers.

Later, the Buddhist Bodhisattvas in the Daluo Golden Fairyland violated the laws of Yin and Yang, ignored the order of Yin and Yang, and took the souls of their believers into the Buddhist kingdom after their death, allowing them to have an alternative form of immortality and escape the judgment and laws of the underworld.

Later, Buddhist Bodhisattvas went even further and treated the underworld as nothing. They openly brought believers whose lifespans had ended back to life in order to expand the prestige of Buddhism.

The result was that when the Buddhist Bodhisattva once again performed the art of resurrection, the Nine Nether Ghost Mother directly expelled the ghosts and gods from the Netherworld and, according to the laws of the Netherworld, severely injured the Buddhist Bodhisattva who had done this and directly suppressed him in hell to be punished.

Moreover, the Buddhist kingdom of this Bodhisattva was destroyed, and all the ghost believers were taken to the underworld, where their destinations were determined in the Judge's Hall according to the severity of their good and evil deeds.

The good ones will re-enter the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn.

The wicked will go to the underworld for judgment, punishment and atonement.

Those who died unjustly will be sent to the City of the Unjustly Dead, and their merits and demerits will be judged after their life span is over.

When a fellow disciple is in trouble, Buddhism cannot ignore it, let alone a great golden immortal.

But facing the powerful Netherworld, the final result is predictable.

After just a few simple fights, several Golden Immortals of the Buddhist sect were injured.

In the end, the four Hades joined forces and went to Mount Sumeru in person, forcing Medicine Master and Maitreya to admit their mistakes, and the matter was finally dropped.

However, the underworld did not go too far.

They are willing to cooperate with the lower-level Buddhist practitioners. After all, the existence of these people is of great help in capturing ghosts.

However, they did not hold back towards the top powerful figures in Buddhism and directly stated that if the powerful Buddhists dared to violate the laws of Yin and Yang again, their souls would be forced to escape and not enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Then the underworld will not be so polite, and they will be greeted by the two quasi-saints, the Nine Nether Ghost Mother and the Mirage Dragon, or even the saint, the Styx. If the Styx cannot solve the problem, the Yellow Dragon will be there to support them.

Faced with the powerful underworld, with the two saints from the West remaining silent, Buddhism could only give in.

Since they didn't have strong enough fists and were not in the right, they had no choice but to accept it.

At this time, the battle was nearing its end. Seeing that the two saints from the West were sensible and did not bully the weak, Huang Long thought for a moment and put the matter aside for the time being, waiting for the Void Battlefield to be refined.

Of course, this is just a temporary release, which does not mean that he does not care about what Buddhism does.

He would definitely ask the Buddhist sect to give an explanation for this matter, but the timing was not right yet...
