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

After Manjushri and his three companions entered the Buddhist order and were conferred the status of Bodhisattvas, they simply began to cultivate themselves on Mount Sumeru.

After tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation, and with the help of the merit lotus seeds to cleanse his own karma, he finally restored his primordial spirit cultivation to its original state and returned to the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

This greatly comforted the four who were initially depressed.

In any case, they always recovered their cultivation ahead of the other Jade Void Golden Immortals, and the rise of Buddhism was already a foregone conclusion.

Next, as long as they go with the flow, they will surely benefit when Buddhism flourishes.

However, when their cultivation level drops, their only thought is to restore it.

Now that they have recovered their cultivation, they have many more things to consider.

The first step is to find a suitable cave dwelling.

Since Yuanshi Tianzun had not pursued the matter, Cihang and Puxian decided to return to their previous cave.

Manjushri, however, was more cautious. To avoid trouble from the Jade Void Sect, he decided to wander around the Earthly Immortal Realm and find a suitable cave dwelling.

However, since the primordial world was shattered, the earth's membrane also broke, and the spiritual energy in the primordial world has become increasingly thin. The better cave dwellings and blessed lands have long been occupied by powerful beings.

Manjushri had traveled throughout the Eastern Continent and the Southern Continent, but to no avail. Just as he was about to return to Mount Sumeru to make a decision, a voice rang out from behind him.

"Manjushri Bodhisattva, please wait!"

Manjushri looked in the direction of the sound and saw Dipankara arriving on auspicious clouds.

"Amitabha Buddha, Manjushri has seen Dipankara Buddha!"

Dipankara looked at Manjushri and said with a smile, "I just happened to pass by and heard that Manjushri Bodhisattva is looking for a place to practice?"

"Buddha, this humble monk has the same intention, but in the realm of immortals, most of the blessed lands and grotto-heavens are already occupied, and after traveling around, I have gained nothing!"

Manjushri answered truthfully.

"This humble monk knows of a good place; would you like to go?"

Ran Deng smiled and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Samantabhadra was somewhat moved and said, "I hope the ancient Buddha can enlighten me; this humble monk will be eternally grateful!"

"Northern Continent of Julu, the training ground for the disciples of the Jie Sect!"

Manjushri was startled upon hearing Dipankara's words.

During the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, when the Chan and Jie sects were fighting, his hands were not stained with the blood of the Jie sect members. Of course, there are always reasons to distinguish between the two sects during the calamity.

But now that the great calamity has passed, it would be too aggressive of me to try to seize the dojos of the Jie Sect disciples.

Most importantly, Beiju Luzhou is a land of miasma and pestilence, so where are there any good places for spiritual practice?

"Manjushri Bodhisattva may not know this, but when I was traveling in the Northern Continent, I passed by a blessed land that was occupied by the four immortals who served the Jie Sect."

Winged Immortal, Head-Growing Immortal, Spirit-Toothed Immortal, Golden-Light Immortal.

I see that those four immortals have an affinity with our Buddhist sect. Why not take them as mounts and have them protect our Buddhist sect? Wouldn't that be wonderful!

Seeing that Manjushri was hesitant, Dipankara also spoke up.

He certainly had his own agenda.

Yu Yixian has an astonishing background. He is not only one of the seven attendant immortals of the Jie Sect, but also the son of Yuan Feng of the Phoenix Clan. He is the first golden-winged roc in the world.

If one could recruit it as a mount, it would naturally bring them great honor.

However, he was always cautious by nature, so he naturally wouldn't personally intervene in such a matter that would offend the Jie Sect.

"This... Ancient Buddha, that Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect is not someone to be trifled with!"

Manjushri was still somewhat hesitant. He was naturally not afraid of the other members of the Jie Sect.

However, Zhao Gongming shone brightly in the Investiture of the Gods, even defeating the Heavenly Saint.

Since he had humiliated the Jie Sect in this way, they naturally did not want to settle things with him.

Dipankara also had similar concerns, but he still smiled and comforted Manjushri, saying:

"With the two Western Saints behind us, even Zhao Gongming in this Earthly Immortal Realm wouldn't dare to do anything to us!"

Moreover, since the Investiture of the Gods, Zhao Gongming has resided in the chaotic starry sky and has not appeared for tens of thousands of years!

Of course, the choice is entirely up to the Bodhisattva's will. If Manjushri Bodhisattva is unwilling, this humble monk will simply seek out Cihang and Samantabhadra Bodhisattvas, and go together with them!

Ran Deng was very anxious, but on the surface he appeared calm and composed, as if it were really unimportant.

"Well! Ancient Buddha, please allow this humble monk some time to consider it, what do you say?"

Upon hearing that Randeng was going to find someone else, Manjushri became anxious. Seeing this, Randeng added a final blow: "The Earthly Immortal Realm has undergone a great change!"

A good cave dwelling is not easy to find!

Those three immortals occupy a blessed cave dwelling; in terms of the density of spiritual energy, it's already comparable to a branch of Mount Sumeru!

Upon hearing this, Manjushri, who was still wavering, could not resist the temptation of a blessed land and decided to go and see for himself first.

He weighed the options in his mind. Seizing the cave and forcibly taking in the three immortal attendants of the Jie Sect was a matter of great importance, and he could not go alone.

Naturally, we should invite Cihang and Puxian to go together, so that even if the truth comes out, we can all share the burden.

Even if Zhao Gongming is incredibly bold, could he really kill all three of these Buddhist disciples?

Having made up his mind, Manjushri immediately said, "Ancient Buddha, please allow this disciple to go and take a look first, and then make a decision!"

Without further hesitation, he headed towards Mount Putuo and the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea, which was the sacred site of Samantabhadra and Cihang.

Seeing this, Randeng was also delighted and quickly concealed his aura before following.

Over here, Manjushri immediately invited Samantabhadra and Cihang out. Upon hearing that there were mounts available, Samantabhadra and Cihang's eyes lit up.

They certainly don't lack temples.

However, it lacks a mount.

Looking across the vast wilderness, where can any mount compare to the attendant of a sage?

As for offending the Jie Sect because of this?

Putting aside the fact that they are no longer disciples of the Chan Sect, in the Earthly Immortal Realm where saints are rarely seen, with two saints backing them, what do they have to fear?

Soon, the trio headed straight for Beiju Luzhou.

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

Just as the trio of Samantabhadra were setting their sights on the four immortal attendants of the Jie Sect, in the chaotic starry sky...

Suddenly, the stars in the heavens shone brightly, and then endless stellar essence poured down into the celestial realm as if it were free.

Immediately, a loud laugh echoed from the depths of the chaotic starry sky: "Hahaha!"

That voice naturally belonged to Zhao Gongming.

At this moment, he had thoroughly sorted out all the major stars in the heavens, not only reaping a large amount of merit and fortune, but also condensing the golden wheel of merit behind his head into four layers in one go.

In the process of sorting through the starry sky, he also collected a large amount of stellar essence and constructed a miniature starry sky from his primordial spirit.

As the stars revolve, they enhance his own primordial spirit power, allowing him to cultivate faster and achieve twice the results with half the effort.

Even without being in the primordial starry sky, one can use the miniature starry sky within one's primordial spirit to resonate with the stars in the heavens and draw upon unimaginable and terrifying power.

Besides him, the Star God of the Ziwei Division and many soldiers also gained a lot of benefits from sorting out the primordial starry sky, and their overall strength increased dramatically compared to before.

However, just as Zhao Gongming was feeling happy, a long-lost notification sound rang in his mind, causing his expression to change slightly.

"Ding-dong, detected that Dipankara, Samantabhadra, Manjushri, and Cihang are attempting to forcibly take the four immortal attendants of the Jie Sect as their mounts and seize the Jie Sect's cave dwelling. Please select:"
