Establishing the Way in the Southern Heavens, Entering Seclusion to Expound the Dharma
Perhaps it was fate, but after the initial panic, the human race quickly accepted the Witch Race.
Compared to the demon race, the human race appears more approachable when facing the Witch Race.
The Witch Race also held great goodwill towards the human race, and many Witch Race actively integrated into the human race.
Although it was initially driven by ulterior motives, as he had more and more contact with humans, he began to genuinely accept them.
However, the deaths of a large number of low-level demons also attracted the attention of Di Jun and Tai Yi.
Di Jun was naturally furious about this.
Because it involved the human race, they did not take immediate action, but instead sought out the Empress Wa's Palace.
Nuwa actually discovered the Witch Race's actions before Di Jun did.
Unlike Di Jun, she was happy to see it happen.
After gaining enlightenment, Nuwa's gaze was no longer limited to humans and demons, but extended to all living beings in the Primordial World.
If she could, she would even like to bring the Witch Race under her control.
Unfortunately, the Witch Race has always revered Pangu, and even Hongjun received only a fraction of Witch Race faith.
Because of the protection of Pangu's fortune, she was unable to directly attack the Witch Race.
This time, the Witch Race took the initiative to contact the human race, which was also Nuwa's opportunity.
She cannot obtain the fortune of the Witch Race, but she can use the human race to gradually devour the fortune of the Witch Race.
As for the conflict between the demon race and the Witch Race, that's beyond her control at this time.
When questioned by Di Jun and Tai Yi, she had only one condition: no matter how the lich and demon races fought, it could not involve the human race.
Ultimately Di Jun and Tai Yi were unable to find a solution.
During their previous probing encounter, the two races implicitly reached a consensus.
We will not wage a full-scale war until we have completely suppressed the enemy.
The fate of the three ancient races served as a profound warning to them.
After returning to the Heavenly Court, Di Jun did not abandon the human race, but instead dispatched even more demons.
The Lich race launched another round of conflict, vying for control of the human race's destiny.
Di Jun, who originally didn't care much about the human race, has started to pay more attention to the Witch Race because of it.
Because of Nuwa's warning, although the two races fought, they did not endanger the human race.
Cihang naturally also noticed the changes among the three races.
However, he did not intervene further.
The conflict between the two races did not harm the human race; on the contrary, it brought about great development for the human race.
If you look closely, you'll notice that the fortunes of the Witch and Demon Clans are subtly converging on the human race.
This contest will be entirely beneficial to the human race.
At this moment, Cihang was preparing to spread the word.
The Sanqing prevented Jieyin and Zhunti in the East, and Cihang would not be an exception.
Moreover, the eyes of Witch and Demon Clans, as well as all the saints, are now on the East, making it difficult for him to achieve anything here.
In contrast, although there are fewer cultivators in the south, and their cultivation levels are generally not high, it is more suitable for his development.
Furthermore, the Karmic Fire Red Lotus itself is predominantly fire-elemental, and the south is more suitable for enhancing the virtuous corpse.
The Red Lotus Good Corpse's gaze was clear as it headed straight for the Immortal Volcano.
His initial goal wasn't so high; instead, he set his sights on those rogue cultivators who faced difficulties in their practice.
They are the ones who are most lacking in passing on their skills.
The southern outskirts still had traces of the Witch and Demon Clans, but outside the volcano area, they were all rogue cultivators.
Although there are many forces in the Primordial World, independent cultivators are also a very large group.
Furthermore, the strength of independent cultivators also varies greatly.
Some Great Luo Quasi-Saints, for example, are unwilling to join any faction and are solely focused on comprehending the Dao.
These powerful independent cultivators are people that even major powers are unwilling to provoke easily; they truly live a carefree and unrestrained life.
However, many more are simply lacking in aptitude and comprehension, and are thus excluded by various powerful forces.
They lacked a lineage, and even their places of cultivation were extremely desolate.
Cihang's target is these independent practitioners.
Because of the unique environment of cultivation, the Western path, while requiring talent and comprehension, places the utmost emphasis on perseverance and mental fortitude.
Although independent cultivators have shortcomings in various aspects, their mental fortitude and perseverance are generally very high.
The benevolent corpse sped all the way to the Immortal Volcano in the southern sky.
After the fall of the Great Phoenix Clan, the Immortal Volcano also fell into ruin, and the surrounding cultivation environment became extremely harsh.
Powerful cultivators wouldn't even consider this place worth their attention.
But precisely because of this, it became a living space for low-level rogue cultivators.
The Red Lotus Good Corpse did not immediately begin preaching, but instead sought out a mountain range with good spiritual energy.
"From now on, this place will be called Lotus Flower Mountain!"
This will be his base in the South.
The benevolent corpse planted the Bodhi of Enlightenment on the volcanic spiritual energy node.
The Bodhi of Enlightenment, having attained enlightenment, exuded a gentle Daoist aura, calming the raging spiritual energy atop Mount Ling.
At the same time, the benevolent corpse set up a defensive array based on the Bodhi of Enlightenment.
After the spiritual energy stabilized, some spiritual root seeds were taken out and scattered on Lotus Flower Mountain.
After making all the preparations, Shanshi sat cross-legged under the Bodhi Tree and began to meditate and seek enlightenment.
With the Bodhi of Enlightenment in hand, he has no shortage of Western Daoist teachings.
But he could not preach in this way.
Although the teachings in the Bodhi of Enlightenment are profound, they bear the deep imprint of Zhunti.
He wanted to establish his own independent school, so naturally he had to create his own cultivation method, leaving his own mark on it.
At the same time, the aura belonging to Zhunti must be completely eradicated from the Bodhi Tree.
Otherwise, we'll end up doing all the work for the West.
This is not what he wanted to see.
Fortunately, this Bodhi Seed was formed before Zhunti; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.
This time, he not only wants to create his own Buddhist Path and Daoist methods, but also to eliminate the Zhunti.
This Bodhi Tree is also a sacred object of his lineage of Buddhism, and the source of their spiritual fortune.
The karmic fire around the benevolent corpse surged, enveloping the Bodhi Tree and continuously refining the strange energy within it.
At the same time, its own red lotus essence flowed into the Bodhi Tree, deepening its imprint within it.
The Brahma Sound still echoes in Lingshan, but it is undergoing a mysterious change.
Red lotus blossoms emerged and were subsequently imprinted on the sacred mountain temple.
Time passed slowly, and the spiritual roots that had been scattered earlier began to grow and mature within the training ground.
The once scorching and desolate Ling Mountain has now regained its vitality and is filled with a peaceful atmosphere.
The face of the Red Lotus Good Corpse grew increasingly serene and compassionate, as if it could encompass all things in the world.
The Bodhi Tree shines brightly, illuminating the Great Thousand World, where countless Buddhas chant sacred Brahma Sound and expound the supreme Dharma.
Even the mountain-protecting formation was affected, emitting countless rays of light that spread outwards accompanied by the Brahma Sound red lotuses.
This unusual phenomenon quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding independent cultivators.
I initially thought it was the birth of a spiritual treasure, but now that I see the protective array around the mountain, I realize that this is actually the Daoist temple of a powerful being.
The mere strange phenomena emitted by the formation calmed their minds and greatly increased their understanding.
Even his cultivation level has subtly improved.
The group of independent cultivators looked on with anticipation and reverence.
More and more cultivators gathered, and no one was willing to leave.
Although it is unknown which powerful figure among them is it, the mere aura emanating from their enlightenment is enough to bring about such an improvement in them.
What an incredible opportunity it would be to truly become a disciple!
