Chapter 328 Chen Fusheng's Status
King Zhou spoke first: "You are all eminent disciples of the three religions. Do you have any specific suggestions for this campaign to suppress Buddhism?"
King Zhou's sudden question stumped the disciples of the sages. They were first-rate experts in discussing metaphysics and philosophy, but it was quite a challenge to handle political affairs.
Wu Yunxian glanced at everyone and slowly said, "The Emperor can make the decision. We outsiders will just follow his orders." As she spoke, she also glanced at Wen Zhong beside her.
With Grand Tutor Wen Zhong around, the interests of the Jie Sect are definitely not in question. Moreover, when he left, the Treasure-Seizing Daoist specifically instructed that all actions of the Shang Dynasty's imperial court during the Jie Sect's journey to the Southern Continent must be in accordance with Wen Zhong's arrangements.
King Zhou nodded slightly, then turned to the Chan Sect, looking at Jiang Ziya, Fang Hui, and the others. In truth, given Jiang Ziya's cultivation level, if he hadn't been appointed by the Primordial Heavenly Lord as the Chan Sect's leader for this event, he wouldn't have been qualified to participate at all.
Inside the entire hall, apart from King Zhou, a mortal cultivator, he and Shang Rong had the lowest cultivation levels, merely at the Celestial Immortal realm.
Even Wei Ziqi, the Grand Master of the Imperial Court of the Great Shang Dynasty, was at the Xuanxian realm, and judging from his condition, he should not be far from becoming a Jinxian.
Fang Hui glanced at Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya not far away without speaking. Not to mention that Chen Fusheng had specifically instructed him before coming to follow Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao's arrangements completely this time, in terms of seniority, Jiang Ziya and Shen Gongbao were proper disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun, while he was only a third-generation disciple.
Although he didn't quite understand why Chen Fusheng wanted him to follow Jiang Ziya's arrangements, Shen Gongbao was at least a late-stage Golden Immortal, a bit higher than him. Apart from his weak cultivation and white hair, he really couldn't see anything special about Jiang Ziya.
However, he kept Chen Fusheng's words in mind. He believed that Chen Fusheng would never harm him, and that Chen Fusheng was definitely more farsighted than him.
Besides, there are many third-generation disciples here, in addition to Shen Gongbao and Jiang Ziya, two second-generation disciples. In particular, there is Wei Hu, who is a disciple of Dao Xing Tianzun of Yuwu Cave on Jinting Mountain, a disciple of the Twelve Golden Immortals, and a true direct descendant of the Chan Sect. He is even slightly superior to me, especially since the Demon-Subduing Pestle in his hand is a supreme weapon for attack.
Although the Twelve Golden Immortals dared not claim to be his direct disciple after Chen Fusheng broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Fang Hui, as a Golden Immortal who had climbed his way up from the bottom, could not possibly be unaware of the complexities within the Chan Sect. Although he had only been a member for a short time and was often away from the sect, so he did not have a clear understanding of the people and affairs within the Chan Sect, he still secretly made a rule for himself: he would not participate in any infighting within the Chan Sect.
Moreover, he had learned quite a bit from his two senior sisters, Lu Ling'er and Ling Xian'er, in the past few days. He also learned that Chen Fusheng's status in the Chan Sect was comparable to that of the Twelve Golden Immortals, yet he never participated in worldly affairs. He was implicitly aligned with Lingbao Grand Master Yun Zhongzi and Antarctic Immortal, making him a neutral faction within the Chan Sect. He spent his days either in seclusion or refining weapons. In addition, given his strength as a Great Luo Golden Immortal and his status as a master weapon refiner, even Guang Chengzi, the eldest disciple of the Chan Sect, showed a friendly and conciliatory attitude towards Chen Fusheng.
Moreover, although Chen Fusheng's lineage only has one disciple, Dao Lin, Dao Ling, Dao Chi of the Lingbao Sect, plus Lu Ling'er and Ling Xian'er... these cultivators recorded in the Chan Sect's Jade Tablet are all subtly surrounding him.
This doesn't even include the fact that Chen Fusheng and Li Shundao, the Heavenly Venerable of the Ministry of Finance of the Heavenly Court, were close friends. As a result, many disciples of the Lingbao Sect and the Chan Sect joined the Heavenly Court and belonged to the lineage of the God of Wealth.
Even Lingyu Zhenren, Chen Fusheng's first master, became the God of Wealth in the Ministry of Finance, a second-rank celestial official. Although Lingyu Zhenren was a top-level True Lord who had reached the Golden Immortal Perfection, he was granted a second-rank official position on his first trip to heaven. If Chen Fusheng and Li Shundao did not have a good relationship, why would Li Shundao, the Heavenly Venerable of the Ministry of Finance, be so helpful?
Even though Li Shundao himself was a disciple of the Jade Emperor, he was only granted the rank of Heavenly Lord of the third grade when he first entered the Heavenly Court. This shows that Li Shundao and Chen Fusheng had a very good relationship.
With so many disciples of the Chan Sect surrounding Chen Fusheng, and Chen Fusheng himself being a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the Chan Sect could be considered a powerful force with considerable influence. Although Chen Fusheng appeared to be a laissez-faire ruler, Fang Hui, as his disciple, had actually lived a very comfortable life since joining the Chan Sect. Not only had she not encountered any exclusion, but she had also received a lot of hidden care.
Especially his two senior sisters, Lu Ling'er and Ling Xian'er, whom Chen Fusheng had watched grow up. He treated them no worse than he treated Fang Hui, and in fact, he treated them even better.
As for their junior brother Fang Hui, the senior uncles Dao Lin, Dao Ling, and Dao Chi need no introduction. Although they didn't act as directly as Lu Ling'er and Ling Xian'er due to their status, they all treated Chen Fusheng as their own disciple when he was in seclusion or away from Kunlun Mountain, even better than their own disciples.
As for Lu Ling'er and Ling Xian'er, they came to Kunlun Mountain when they were at the Xuanxian realm. So many years have passed. Although they are not as popular as Chen Fusheng among the second-generation disciples, they can be said to be trendsetting figures among the third and fourth-generation disciples.
Not to mention that they have two elders, Grand Master Lingbao and Chen Fusheng, who are both Great Luo Golden Immortals, standing behind them, the presence of Wanlidi Xulingyu and the other two Golden Immortal True Monarchs alone is enough to make them top-tier second-generation immortals.
Moreover, Lu Ling'er and Ling Xian'er were not the kind of people who relied on their parents. They were also very hardworking and broke through the threshold of Golden Immortal in a short period of time, advancing to the realm of a Golden Immortal Great Power.
With powerful backgrounds and considerable personal strength, plus being among the few female disciples of the Chan Sect, the two quickly became goddesses in the hearts of many disciples. Ling Xian'er was alright; she didn't like to talk, and her cold and beautiful appearance and personality made her admirers only able to admire from afar and not dare to provoke her!
Lu Ling'er was different. She was outgoing and tomboyish, and quickly integrated with the disciples of the Chan Sect. If she weren't a girl, some people would probably want to become sworn brothers with her. However, she was quite talented. It's rare to see a goddess who can successfully win over her admirers. She was just an exception.
Although many people gave up the idea of pursuing her or simply kept it to themselves, it did not affect the fact that they became very good "brothers and sisters".
As Chen Fusheng's disciple and Lu Ling'er and Ling Xian'er's junior brother, Fang Hui quickly made a name for himself in the Chan Sect with their help. Regardless of how good their relationship was, at least all the disciples of the Chan Sect had to give him face.
Not only the disciples of the Chan Sect, but even the disciples of the Jie Sect, before coming here, their master gave them many instructions, listing all the powerful figures in the world, so that they would be aware of them. Among them was Chen Fusheng, who was someone they absolutely could not provoke.
It's not that Chen Fusheng is already comparable to quasi-saints like Zhen Yuanzi, the Styx Ancestor, and Xuandu Grand Master. It's just because of his current strength and his status as a master craftsman. Especially his status as a master craftsman, not to mention anything else, in recent years, many second-generation disciples of the Jie Sect have sought to become Chen Fusheng's disciples, just to have him craft some spiritual treasures.
After all, there are quite a few weapon refiners in the entire prehistoric world, and many of them can reach the level of weapon refiner master. Even top-grade acquired weapon refiner masters can be found by the disciples of the Jie Sect if they look hard enough. However, weapon refinement grandmasters are really too few, and most of them have a good relationship with Chen Fusheng. He can be regarded as a benchmark figure for weapon refiners in the entire prehistoric world. Offending Chen Fusheng is almost equivalent to offending the entire weapon refiner community.
