Four Teachings United, Covering the Heavens

Zhunti's path to Attain Sainthood was fraught with difficulties, but regardless, he ultimately attained enlightenment Attain Sainthood.

Because Saint is Saint, it's a rank, once you attain it, you will always be Saint, unless one day you completely defy the Heavenly Dao, cut yourself off from the Primordial Wilderness, and commit an unforgivable sin, otherwise you will always be a sage.

On Kunlun Mountain, the Supreme Lord looked at Jieyin Taishang, who Jieyin and Zhunti, and felt a sense of unease and deep-seated worry.

Such a person is truly admirable!

But as a competitor, it sends chills down your spine.

In this world, it's not the ruthless people who are afraid of their enemies that are scary, but the ruthless people who are also ruthless to themselves.

Even Yuanshi Tianzun, who had always looked down on Jieyin and Zhunti, fell silent. He wondered if he would dare to make such a grand vow if it were him.

Tongtian was thinking about whether he would be willing to make such a grand vow together with his eldest or second elder brother if the latter were unable to Attain Sainthood.

The Three Pure Ones had different thoughts, but each of them looked at Jieyin and Zhunti with new respect. Perhaps from this moment on, they regarded the two as true rivals, just like Donghua and Nuwa.

After Jieyin and Zhunti attained enlightenment and became Attain Sainthood, they established Buddhist Teachings and immediately extended an invitation to all beings in heaven and earth to accept disciples.

Jieyin and Zhunti were quite looking forward to how many people would be willing to join Buddhist Teachings three thousand years later. Originally, they wanted to avoid the time when the Three Pure Ones accepted disciples, either earlier or a thousand years later.

However, this proposal was ultimately Jieyin.

"Junior brother, everything depends on fate. Buddhist Teachings is related to our future path, and we cannot force it. If we are destined, we will come to our Western Region."

Zhunti thought about it for a while and still felt that this would not work. The Western Region was poor, and although the two of them were Hunyuan Saint, they were ultimately no match for the Three Pure Ones.

It is estimated that three thousand years from now, most of them will go to Kunlun Mountain. Those with deep roots will become disciples of Yuanshi, while those with slightly lesser roots will become disciples of Tongtian.

The Western Region is still too weak in terms of competitiveness!

However, Zhunti his senior brother Jieyin's resolute attitude, Zhunti couldn't say anything, and finally sighed:

"Senior brother, our journey seems even longer now!"

The Western Region was already inferior to the other continents, and now the two of them have incurred such a huge karmic debt with Heavenly Dao. It is unknown when the Western Region will be able to prosper.

"The path to enlightenment is boundless, but human endurance is finite. As long as we are here, we will eventually succeed. The road ahead is long and arduous, but we will persevere in our pursuit!"

Zhunti hearing this, Zhunti nodded in agreement and said, "Senior brother, I was being too attached to appearances. We've overcome so many difficulties before, so what is there to be afraid of now? We're all Hunyuan Saint, so at worst we'll just have a fight. Anyway, neither of us can kill the other!"

"As for the karmic consequences of Heavenly Dao, let's repay them slowly. Perhaps having these karmic consequences is actually a good thing. In time, even Heavenly Dao will help us and make the Western Region prosper. Otherwise, how can we take back the power we've lent out?"

Upon hearing this, a faint smile seemed to appear on Jieyin's sorrowful and thin face, because although the words sounded shameless, it seemed to be true.

Now that Heavenly Dao has lent out so much Mysterious Yellow Merit and Heavenly Dao Power, it will surely take it back in time. As for the punishment for failing to fulfill its grand ambition, that is merely a last resort.

However, along the way, Heavenly Dao will definitely give the Western Region a chance, a chance that no one can stop. This is the so-called trend of Heavenly Dao. At that time, even the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and Donghua will have nothing to say.

After all, who dares to defy the will of Heavenly Dao?

So, while making grand ambitions might be a constraint for others, it seems like a good thing for the two of them?

Outsiders wouldn't know what the two were talking about, but if Donghua heard it, he would definitely exclaim, "Those who owe money are always the bosses!"

Five Hunyuan Saint arrived in the Primordial Wilderness in a single day. All living beings bowed down under the pressure of the Saint, and the world was filled with all sorts of strange phenomena.

Since the end of Primordial Wilderness Lich Age and the establishment of the Supreme Heavenly Court by Donghua, a new era has begun. This is an era that belongs solely to the Saint. The era of Quasi-Saint has ended with the defeat of the Lichs.

One Emperor Six Saints!

This is the new order of the Primordial Wilderness!

In the Heavenly Court, Donghua, Zhen Yuanzi, and Hong Yun were drinking tea and chatting about the affairs of the four major sects.

Zhen Yuanzi spoke up, saying, "I believe that the Chan Teachings of Yuanshi Tianzun is more suitable for Primordial Wilderness current Yuanshi Tianzun. Chan Tian Dao and Act as Heaven's Emissary. This kind of great sect is what all living beings need."

"As for the Interception Sect of the Sect Master Tongtian, although the Jie Tian is powerful and gives all living beings the opportunity to transcend, it is ultimately not suitable for the current Primordial Wilderness. How many people have truly transcended it?"

Hong Yun retorted, "Brother Dao, I don't agree with you. I think the Interception Sect of Sect Master Tongtian Jiaozhu is better. It gives all people the opportunity to achieve enlightenment and transcendence, and it doesn't judge heroes by their birth. Isn't such a great sect better?"

"As for the Chan Teachings of Yuanshi Tianzun, it has fallen into a lower Primordial Wilderness. How many people in the entire Act as Heaven's Emissary? For the common people, such a great sect is actually unsuitable for them."

The two began arguing about the Chan Teachings and the Interception Sect, while Donghua sipped his spiritual tea, enjoying the peaceful moment, knowing that such opportunities would become rare.

With the emergence of the Six Saints, the prehistoric situation is about to change again. The time has come for the Emperor of Heaven and the Saints, and the Saints and the Saints to compete with each other for the power of heaven and earth.

This first clash should take place in the subsequent humanitarian struggle.

No, it doesn't seem so!

The first instance will likely occur in the upcoming cycle of reincarnation, Houtu's time to complete reincarnation is not far off.

Since Houtu obtained the position of one of the Six Emperors of Heavenly Court, she has been in seclusion to cultivate, presumably to sort out her own Reincarnation Great Dao.

When the cycle of reincarnation begins, no one will be idle, and a new round of clashes between Hunyuan Saint will commence.

"Brother Donghua, what do you think of this matter?"

Watching the two arguing endlessly, could Donghua really say he just wanted to be a bystander?

He then said, "Do you only see the Chan Teachings and Interception Sect? Don't forget, there's also the Taishang Human Teachings and Western Region Buddhist Teachings, neither of them are simple!"

"Moreover, how could a great sect possibly encompass the entire Primordial Wilderness? Even the current Heavenly Court cannot do such a thing, let alone a newly established sect."

"The Four Teachings United is the best for the Primordial World and all living beings. Otherwise, there would be no Six Saints and Four Religions. Wouldn't one saint and one religion be enough?"

Both nodded after hearing this. Although Donghua did not directly answer the questions from the Chan Teachings and Interception Sect, he fundamentally answered the question about the significance of the existence of the four sects.

But the more they listened, the more uneasy they felt. What did they mean by the Four Teachings United and operating together? How could such a thing possibly happen?

The two then looked at Donghua, only to find that he had a strange smile on his face.

Hong Yun said in surprise, "Brother Dao, do you mean...?"

Before he could speak, Zhen Yuanzi quickly stopped him. Some things are better left unsaid, especially when it involves the five Saints. His friend was so tactless, always saying whatever came to mind.

Donghua said nonchalantly, "That's right, just as you think. The Heavenly Court exists to act as the Act as Heaven's Emissary, to manage the Primordial World and all living beings, while the Four Religions exist to educate and guide. Shouldn't the Four Religions be under the rule of the Heavenly Court?"

"There's nothing to hide; it's all tacitly understood. This is also a struggle between the Heavenly Emperor's position and the Saint's position. After all, the Emperor's Way emphasizes the unity of all laws, and the Saint is also included in this."

"Therefore, a showdown is inevitable between the Heavenly Court and the Four Religions, and between my Donghua and the Five Saints. This will determine who rules this world, and whether the Heavenly Emperor is superior or the Saint are stronger!"

Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun stared at Donghua in disbelief, suddenly wondering if they had been too complacent. He had already Attain Hunyuan Dao and achieved the position of Heavenly Emperor, yet he still had such lofty ambitions.

The two of them are only Quasi-Saint, yet they don't compete or fight on the Great Dao Path, preferring a carefree and leisurely life. Is that really wrong?

Donghua saw through their thoughts and said with a smile, "Everyone has their own path. My path is not suitable for you. The Emperor's Path is unique, and this is inevitable. Even if I don't want to compete, the Six Sages will not let me go."

"After all, the Primordial World is only so big, and power, fortune, merit, and the Heavenly Dao Power are all limited. No one is willing to give them up to others or be subordinate to them."

The principle is that simple; everyone knows it and understands it. But making a decision is not so simple.

Just as the three were talking, the West Queen Mother and Fuxi entered. After the others exchanged greetings, Fuxi spoke:

"Great Heavenly Venerate, during my time guarding the Heavenly Court, I have encountered a problem that I cannot make up my mind about, so I have come to consult Your Majesty."

"Now, almost all beings born on the Primordial Land are post-natal beings below Immortal Dao level of immortality, and there are even those without any cultivation level. They mainly exist among the human race, and these people have relatively short lifespans."

"Those who cannot break through to the Immortal Dao Realm die within a mere thousand years; some who cannot embark on the path of cultivation only have two or three hundred years left to live."

"However, the time it takes for the stars in the celestial sphere, especially the Moon Star and the Sun Star, to complete one cycle is far too long, with one day being equivalent to a year. This timeframe is extremely unfriendly to beings born after birth."

"Does the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable have any way to change this?"

The question raised by Fuxi caused everyone in the hall to fall into deep thought, with Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun beginning to calculate.

Soon after, both of them nodded in agreement, feeling that the situation should be changed.

The West Queen Mother spoke up, saying, "Brother, the world has undergone a great change, and this problem certainly needs to be solved. However, neither the Great Emperor Heavenly Sovereign I know how to solve it for the time being. Does brother have any ideas?"

As the West Queen Mother the Empress, Donghua was granted the right to participate in politics at any time by Donghua, meaning she could participate in all affairs of the Heavenly Court.

Now is the beginning of the Tai Wei Era, and with the West Queen Mother and Fuxi presiding over the Heavenly Court, it would be best to establish various systems, thus setting the stage for what lies ahead.

Donghua looked at the group and said, "I already knew about this matter and had a plan in mind; all that's left is the final execution."

"So resolving this matter isn't a problem, but it's not very friendly to the demon race. Fuxi, you should go to the Northern Darkness and the Northern Continent to see your old friends and appease them."

Fuxi asked in confusion, "Great Heavenly Venerate, what method is it that has managed to displease the demon race?"

Although the demon race now numbers in large numbers, its power has waned, it lacks top-tier experts, and it is fragmented and scattered throughout the Primordial Wilderness. In such a state, how could the demon race dare to have any complaints?

Donghua laughed and said, "I wish to Covering the Heavens!"

"Covering the Heavens?"

Donghua: "Indeed, I intend to use the Five Directions Innate Banners to obscure the Star Dou, altering their orbits and making a day in the Primordial Land a true day, not a year."

"However, after the Covering the Heavens, the Power of Stars that falls upon the earth will inevitably weaken, which is very unfavorable for the cultivation of the demon race. It will be even more difficult for the demon race to cultivate in the future!"

"This method is not only for the sake of the beings born after the beginning of Primordial Wilderness, but also for the sake of the Star Dou."

"Having gone through the combined efforts of Taiyi Dijiang, the primordial power of the stars in the heavens is now severely depleted, and some stars have even begun to wither away. If no remedy is taken, they will disappear completely."

After hearing Donghua's answer, everyone understood that this method could indeed change the situation of beings born after birth and also allow the stars in the heavens to recuperate.

If this continues for a long time, the primordial power of the celestial bodies will replenish itself in just a few eons, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

However, this method is indeed very unfriendly to the demon race, or more accurately, to all living beings on the Primordial Land; the demon race is simply the most severely affected.

Zhen Yuanzi snorted coldly and said, "I think the Great Heavenly Venerate doesn't need to overthink this matter. Just do as instructed. Isn't the current loss of the Zhou Tian Star Origin Power the result of the sins committed by those two races? It's time for them to pay the price!"

Everyone nodded in agreement with Zhen Yuanzi's words. Even the usually amiable Hong Yun didn't say anything, since the Witch and Demon Races had indeed committed a grave mistake regarding the Zhou Tian stars.

This was exactly the effect Donghua wanted: order after chaos, and everything seemed so reasonable.

"The sins committed by the Witch and Demon Races will be made to pay for, but now that I am the Heavenly Emperor of the Primordial Wilderness, I should treat all races equally. It would be better to appease the Yao race. I will trouble Fellow Daoist Fuxi to make the trip then!"

Fuxi said, "Serving the Primordial Wilderness, the Heavenly Court, and His Majesty is no trouble. It's a good opportunity for me to visit some old friends to prevent them from going astray. Besides, I still have to complete the tasks assigned by the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable, so I need to investigate in advance."

Donghua laughed heartily, seemingly oblivious to Fuxi's resentment.

Fuxi then said, "Great Heavenly Venerate, the Heavenly Court is now on the right track, with Heavenly Laws and Decrees above and various systems below. This Yuanhui (a unit of time) is too long, and I cannot stay in the Heavenly Court. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

"It's alright, it's alright. Just go find your path. With Taizhen and I in the Central Heavenly Court, everything will be fine. Before you leave, hand over your work to Shao Siming!"

"Yes!"

Donghua looked at the West Queen Mother and asked, "Junior Sister, I have an idea. I want to send Xuan Ming and Xuan Qiong to cultivate under the tutelage of Saint. Staying in the Heavenly Court for a long time will cause them to develop bad character traits. What do you think about this?"

P. S.: At the beginning of the month, please give me some guaranteed monthly votes!
