Chapter 86 Earthly Immortals, Confucianism, and BuddhismTime passed quickly, and hundreds of thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, suddenly, a saint came from the Pure Heaven outside the Thirty-three Heavens and entered the prehistoric world, heading straight for Mount Sumeru. Not long after, Zhen Yuanzi founded a great religion, the Earthly Immortal Religion, at the original location of the Longevity Mountain. The Heavenly Dao was moved by this and immediately bestowed merit upon him. A golden wheel of merit appeared behind Zhen Yuanzi. The light on the golden wheel flickered a few times. The original merit of the Western religion had transformed into the merit of the Earth Immortal religion. Zhen Yuanzi was the first to break away from the Western Religion and became the leader of his own sect. In the Earthly Immortal Religion he founded, all immortals on the prehistoric land could become Earthly Immortals. From the powerful ones who have cultivated supreme supernatural powers to the little immortals who have just achieved immortality, they are all earthly immortals. Zhen Yuanzi preached about this for another thousand years, expounding the concept of the way of earthly immortals, which is the way to live in harmony with the natural world. However, Zhen Yuanzi did not accept any external disciples. He only took two fruits from the ginseng fruit tree and made them his disciples, one of whom was Qingfeng and the other was Mingyue. Not long after, another red cloud descended from the Pure Sky. After visiting Mount Sumeru, it also established a new religion. The great religion founded by Hongyun is Confucianism. I am good at cultivating a righteous and upright spirit! The Confucianism established by Hongyun promotes the righteous way of heaven and earth, eliminates evil, preserves justice, and uses this to educate all living beings.
As soon as Confucianism was established, it was also recognized by the Way of Heaven and was bestowed with merits. On Hongyun's golden wheel of merit, the original merits of Western religions were also transformed into Confucian merits. However, Hong Yun did not accept disciples immediately, but only spread Confucianism and Taoism among the human race. There are strong human beings who have cultivated Confucianism and Taoism and become great scholars in their area. They all respect Hongyun as their founder. Moreover, the matter did not end here. Hundreds of years later, Jie Yin and Zhunti also caused trouble. However, the two of them announced their withdrawal from the Xuanmen sect and established their own Buddhist sect. Moreover, Western religion was also changed to Buddhism, which declared to benefit all people in the world, regardless of whether they were from the East or the West. Great merit from heaven. Jie Yin and Zhunti's cultivation levels also greatly increased because of this, but their smiles were somewhat forced. Because they are not the only ones who are Buddhas, there are also two incarnations created by Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi. One is called World-Honored King Buddha, and the other is called Pure and Blessed Ancient Buddha. As for Jie Yin and Cundi, their names were also changed, one was called Amitabha Buddha and the other was called Cundi Buddha Mother. Although most of the merits were shared by the two of them, a considerable portion was still obtained by Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi's incarnations. Jie Yin and Zhunti were helpless about this as Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi had already plotted against them when they came from the Western Sect. No matter what they did, they couldn't get around the two of them. In addition to this, it is worth mentioning that Buddhism is not as incomplete as it was originally. The Buddhism established by the four people already includes both Mahayana and Hinayana doctrines. The four Buddhas and their mothers are all Hinayana Buddhas, while the Mahayana Buddha was an incarnation of Cundi, called Tathagata Buddha. This can be considered a benefit given to the two by Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun. Otherwise, it would be bad to force the two to death. After all, Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun were only seeking some luck and merit, and they did not necessarily want to fight to the death with the two men.
Moreover, this time, Jie Yin and Zhunti also bore all the consequences of their rebellion against the Xuan Sect and the establishment of the Buddhist Sect. Nuwa will probably ignore it, but the Three Pure Ones will definitely hold a grudge against her. It can be said that this series of actions by Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi was to steal the luck that originally belonged to Xuanmen. However, the two of them did not bear any of the hatred for dividing the spoils, and gave it all to Jie Yin and Zhunti. Naturally, the two people who felt guilty had to give some benefits to Jie Yin and Zhunti, so Zhunti was allowed to be the Buddha of the Mahayana Buddhism. Previously, Zhunti gave the Hongmeng Purple Qi to Jie Yin, but this time, Jie Yin also gave the benefits to Zhunti. With the help of the Mahayana Buddha's luck, Zhunti cut off her own corpse in one fell swoop and used her own corpse as the Tathagata Buddha. After this operation, whether it was Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi, Jieyin, or Zhunti, their cultivation bases increased greatly. Hongyun had previously fallen from the middle stage of Hunyuan to the early stage of Hunyuan, but now he had risen back again. Zhen Yuanzi also advanced from the early Hunyuan stage to the middle Hunyuan stage. As for Jie Yin and Zhunti, although they were still in the early stage of Hunyuan, their strength had greatly increased, especially Zhunti, who was overjoyed after killing himself this time. After all, among all the saints, there are only four who have killed the three corpses, namely Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi, Taiqing Laozi and Zhunti. Even Yuanshi and Tongtian failed to cut off their egos, but Zhunti did, so Zhunti was naturally happy. But in the final analysis, one family is happy while the other is sad. On the other hand, the Three Pure Ones were really unhappy. Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi manipulated things behind the scenes and pushed Jieyin and Zhunti out as traitors to steal the fortune of Xuanmen. Where does the fortune of Xuanmen come from? That naturally comes from the great teaching established by the Three Pure Ones. Now that Hongjun Daozu has merged with the Dao, everything in Xuanmen has nothing to do with him. And Nuwa did not establish a religion. The influence is naturally the great religion established by the Three Pure Ones. In other words, the luck that was drained away by Buddhism, Confucianism and Earth Immortal Religion is the luck of Taoism, the Orthodox Religion and the Unorthodox Religion. In addition, each of them is a saint with merit. This is a long time. The cultivation levels of Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi, Jieyin and Zhunti will increase, while the cultivation levels of the Three Pure Ones will decrease. This is because the merits of the Three Pure Ones are not entirely merits of teaching, but a large part of them are merits of creating the world. This is their foundation. Otherwise, the impact this time will be even greater! But in the final analysis, the biggest winners this time are Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi. Especially Hong Yun, now everyone has seen his methods. Knowing that Zhen Yuanzi was just a byproduct, and Hong Yun was the mastermind behind all this. Playing with merits, various major religions, and the transformation of luck is simply unbelievable. I have no idea how Hong Yun came up with it.
After all, when the Western Religion was first established, who could have thought that Hongyun had already begun laying the groundwork? It was not until now that it broke out completely, but it had taken almost everyone into account. Even the goddess Nuwa, who lived next to the two of them, was a little frightened, and secretly thought that it was a good thing that she did not establish a religion. Otherwise, you really can’t beat Hongyun. In addition, the Confucianism established by Hongyun also attracted the attention of the saints. Although Hongyun has not yet accepted disciples and his teachings have not yet been fully spread. But the vision of the saints has been improved after being toyed with by Hong Yun time and time again. Under the deep contemplation of the saints, the prospects of Confucianism were fully seen. Confucianism will definitely become a terrifying religion in the ancient world in the future, and this religion will be extremely favored by the way of heaven. Because the righteous way of heaven and earth that it adheres to is so in line with the interests of the way of heaven. Although the way of heaven is selfless, selflessness is only relative. Otherwise, there would be no reward rules such as merit and karma. It is obvious that Confucianism is very conducive to the development of the Way of Heaven, and the Way of Heaven naturally favors it. How can such a great religion not be scary? Not to mention that the saints were secretly on guard, outside the thirty-three heavens, in the Pure Heaven, Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi had settled down since they completed a series of operations such as stealing the dragon and switching the phoenix and risky grafting. Enjoying their respective "trophies" - luck and merit. With their luck and merits greatly increased, it will be of great benefit and assistance to the practice of both of them. (End of this chapter)
