Primordial Era: The Ten Deadly Formations are Broken, Shen Gongbao Asks Me to Come Out of the Mounta

Who founded the Xuanmen (Taoist school)?

That is naturally the Heavenly Dao Ancestor!

But who is the Dao Ancestor?

That is the teacher of all saints, the spokesperson of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, and the person in charge of the entire Primordial World!

Although they had previously betrayed the Chan Sect, they were still within the Xuanmen Sect. The four sects and the Xuanmen Sect are one family; even if their bones are broken, their tendons are still connected.

But now, they haven't betrayed the Chan Sect at all; they've been passively and directly betrayed the Xuanmen Sect.

Boundless Heavenly Venerable!

The thought that he had lost his biggest backer made Ran Deng feel like everything went black.

Not only him, but Manjushri and the other three were also completely dumbfounded.

What happened to the promised direct transmission of Western religion?

Is this so-called Buddhist sect really a good thing?

They only betrayed the Chan Sect, but never thought of betraying the Xuanmen Sect to join this damned Buddhist sect!

How did things develop to this point?

However, since things have come to this point, and they have already betrayed the Chan Sect, they naturally have no other choice.

For now, we can only leave it to fate!

Here, not only were the four of them, including Dipankara and Samantabhadra, filled with mixed feelings, but the newly separated Xuanxue and Buddhism, who had evolved into the Buddhist Cundi and Jieyin, were also filled with trepidation.

To put it nicely, this is called finding a new path; to put it bluntly, breaking away from Taoism and establishing Buddhism is not much different from apostasy.

Fortunately, after a long wait, the imagined punishment from the Dao Ancestor did not come; instead, the celestial light in Mount Sumeru turned into the radiant light of Buddha.

Everything seemed to be the same as usual.

This made Zhunti and Jieyin instinctively breathe a sigh of relief, and they were overjoyed. Clearly, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had tacitly approved of their actions.

Now that Buddhism has been established, when Western religions flourish in the future, there will naturally be no need to share even the slightest benefit with the other three religions.

As Zhunti and Jieyin had predicted, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who sat on the cloud platform in Zixiao Palace, only glanced at it before withdrawing his gaze.

The emergence of Buddhism is itself a result of the workings of the natural order.

Just as the moon waxes and wanes, the Xuanmen sect has flourished for two great kalpas. Naturally, other sects should follow suit.

Moreover, with the founding of Buddhism this time, the cause and effect of his battle with Rahu, which shattered the western region of the prehistoric world, can be considered to have been completely resolved.

As for the cause and effect of Zhunti Jieyin's departure from the Xuanmen, it was naturally settled by his disciples.

Zhunti Jieyin, naturally, had already made preparations for this.

After establishing Buddhism, Zhunti and Jieyin were overjoyed and immediately began to confer Buddhist titles and ranks.

Then, appearing as Amitabha Buddha, he smiled and said, "Randeng, step forward to receive your investiture!"

Randeng stepped forward as instructed, but his expression did not seem to indicate much reluctance.

"Bandeng, within Buddhism, there are three Buddhas of the past, present, and future. Today, I bestow upon you the title of Ancient Buddha of the Past. In terms of status, within Buddhism, you are second only to myself and Brother Jieyin!"

"Disciple obeys the order, Namo Amitabha!"

"Pharmacist, come forward!"

"Disciple is here!"

"I hereby confer upon you the title of Buddha of the Present Age, Medicine Buddha of Light!"

"Maitreya, step forward! I hereby appoint you as the future Buddha!"

..............

Upon hearing the investiture from Zhunti, Randeng's face darkened. He had truly fallen for Zhunti's trick and wasted his time on Mount Sumeru!

Within the Chan Sect, he was, after all, the Vice Leader of the Chan Sect and a Jade Void Golden Immortal, and was addressed as "Teacher."

Having come to this damned Buddhist sect, they've actually been reduced to being on equal footing with the direct disciples of the West.

The four of them, including Puxian, felt a chill in their hearts.

Even the Master Randeng was only granted the same rank as the Medicine Buddha Maitreya. If it were their turn, how could they possibly be granted any better rank?

Sure enough, amidst the trepidation of the four, including Samantabhadra, Zhunti calmly said, "Samantabhadra, I hereby bestow upon you the title of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva!"

Manjushri, I hereby bestow upon you the title of Manjushri Bodhisattva!

Cihang, I hereby bestow upon you the title of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the foremost of all Bodhisattvas!

"Kulkusun, I hereby bestow upon you the title of Buddha Kurukusun!"

Upon hearing the conferment of the title by Zhunti, the four disciples, including Puxian, were already disheartened, and now they were completely devastated.

Within the Chan Sect, they were still personally taught by the Sage. Although their cultivation had declined, with the Sage's protection, it was only a matter of time before they recovered.

Who would have thought that upon arriving at this Western religion, not only would they be forced to betray the Xuanmen sect, but the only rank they would be granted would be that of a Bodhisattva.

Kuru Sun was not having an easy time either. There are differences in the Buddhahood attainment. He was only granted the most ordinary Buddhahood, which was vastly different from the present and future Buddhas such as Maitreya and Bhaisajyaguru.

At this moment, the four of them, including Puxian, felt like they were filled with deep regret.

However, since they had already defected to this Buddhist stronghold, what choice did they have? They could only respectfully accept the positions, their feelings indescribable.

After the investiture ceremony was completed, Jieyin bowed and said, "Junior brother, it's time for us to set off!"

"Amitabha!"

Both saints went towards the chaos of the starry sky. Although the Dao Ancestor had tacitly approved of their departure from the Xuan Sect and their establishment of Buddhism, the karmic ties between them and the Xuan Sect had not yet been completely resolved.

Sure enough, as soon as they arrived in the chaotic starry sky, Zhunti and Jieyin saw four saints with unfriendly expressions, as if they had been waiting for them for a long time.

That's right!

Even the Tongtian Sect Leader, who was secluded in the Zixiao Palace by Hongjun, has already appeared here.

As the saying goes, enemies are especially hostile when they meet!

Upon seeing the two Western saints who had abducted his disciple and then bestowed upon him the title of Bodhisattva, Yuanshi Tianzun was furious.

Before the Jade Void Golden Immortal betrayed his sect, he poured his heart and soul into nurturing him, protecting him with utmost care, fearing that he might perish in the great calamity.

How come they were treated so "brutally" by Zhunti and Jieyin when they arrived at the Buddhist temple? Even the rank they were given was much lower than that of the Western Transmission Master.

Before Zhunti and Jieyin could speak, Yuanshi Tianzun roared, "Zhunti and Jieyin, you shameless scoundrels, take my sword!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a sword aura that cleaved through the endless starry sky descended fiercely upon Zhunti and Jieyin before him.

While struggling to defend himself, Zhunti and Jieyin said, "Amitabha! What this humble monk did was merely in accordance with the will of Heaven. Yuanshi, you are too attached to appearances!"

With a wave of his hand, the Zhuxian Sword was already in the hands of the Tongtian Sect Leader. He immediately retorted angrily, "Enough with the idle talk!"

Let me see who gave you the courage to establish another heretical sect!

"Take this sword strike, and then we'll talk!"

In the entire prehistoric world, perhaps only Zhunti and Jieyin have the ability to get the two sworn enemies, Yuanshi and Tongtian, to join forces.

After seeing Yuanshi Tongtian take action, Nuwa Taishang didn't bother with any more words and immediately made her move.

Wouldn't it be better to finish work early, go back and meditate?

Now that the great calamity has just begun and the world is clear and bright, it is the best time to comprehend the Dao. We cannot let these two shameless brothers delay it.

With the four saints attacking, Zhunti and Jieyin were no match for them. They were beaten so badly that sparks flew from their eyes, and they were in a sorry state.

The entire primordial starry sky was bustling with activity. Wherever the aftershocks of the battle reached, the earth, water, wind, and fire surged, as if the world were about to be reborn.

As for this astonishing commotion, Zhao Gongming, as the Ziwei Emperor, naturally sensed it immediately.
