The Daoist Sect had also developed rapidly over the years, but it was not as renowned as Buddhism.
There were several reasons for this. The Daoist Sect's teachings emphasized non-action.
Taoism's aloofness made many people shrink back in awe. Taoism itself upheld righteous conduct, and its practitioners preferred to hide deep in the mountains, cultivating in seclusion.
The Daoist Sect was not unified like Buddhism.
Shakyamuni, the Buddha, led Buddhism. Its schools were unified, making it easier to spread.
But Laozi, the founder of the Dao, emphasized non-action. How could he personally interfere in the Daoist Sect's affairs?
He had merely taken a few disciples and sent them out to spread the Dao.
This had led to a multitude of schools within the Daoist Sect.
There were the Orthodox Unity Teaching founded by Zhang Daoling, the Great Peace Teaching founded by Zhang Jue, the Complete Perfection Teaching founded by Wang Chongyang, and many other branches.
Anyone who read Laozi's Tao Te Ching and gained insight into the ways of the Dao could establish new teachings.
With countless branches such as Talisman Script, Alchemy, Divination, and Medicine, this created a problem: each Taoist school had different priorities and different methods, so the Daoist Arts they studied also differed.
But back to the matter at hand.
As the Daoist Sect fought across the planets of the Second Star Chain, the Daoist methods they unleashed were dazzlingly varied and all-encompassing.
Zhang Jue led a great many followers of Great Peace Daoism in battle on Mu Yin Planet.
This was also one of the planets under fierce enemy assault. Its affiliated planets had been driven back step by step, and Zhang Jue had received a Divine Edict from the Heavenly Dao Will to lead the Great Peace Teaching here to fight.
