Heaven and Earth Remade, the Buddha's Child Yet to Be
"Our Tianyin Temple has been wiped out!!"
These words came as a complete shock.
Fang Wuchen and several elders of the Heavenly Wolf Sect had just emerged from the waters of Heavenly Lake when they heard this news.
The group looked at each other, half their bodies still submerged in the water, and forgot to continue rising.
Fang Wuchen patted his ears, wondering if water had gotten into them.
Even Shangguan Yunyan, who was on the shore and had some plans in mind, was stunned by the news.
Let's look at High Person Jade Toad again.
What a good monk! He actually managed to keep his composure.
Although the flesh on his face was twitching wildly, his jade cassock did not move even without wind.
High Person Jade Toad, however, remained patient and forced himself to ask, "Junior brother, have you gone mad and lost your mind? Please recite a calming mantra for me."
"I haven't gone mad!!"
The abbot cried out, "Senior brother, I know you don't believe me. Our Tianyin Temple, with its magnificent gates, four great monks, and thousands of disciples, is truly a pillar of the righteous path, as solid as a rock."
"But have you forgotten our grand plan in the temple?"
The three brothers of the Heavenly Wolf Sect didn't believe the news at first.
The power of Tianyin Temple surpasses even that of the Heavenly Wolf Sect, making it arguably the leading sect among the righteous immortal sects.
Compared to the possibility of Tianyin Temple being suddenly wiped out.
It's easier to believe that the abbot went mad from his spiritual practice.
After all, Buddhist practices emphasize purifying the mind and reducing desires. Some people can truly adapt to this and gradually find joy in it, meditating, reading scriptures, and chatting for amusement.
But some people simply suppress their feelings.
If you suppress your emotions too much, you might go to another extreme if you encounter any kind of stimulus.
Throughout history, many eminent monks have inexplicably fallen into demonic possession and acted erratically.
However, when the abbot uttered the words "grand plan, "High Person Jade Toad's face turned pale.
"No, no, no."
High Person Jade Toad stammered incoherently, "Even if that grand plan failed, there's no reason for them to be wiped out—"
Chu Tianshu couldn't stand it any longer and gave a soft shout.
"If Tianyin Temple is truly wiped out, the consequences will extend far beyond your family. Explain the whole story clearly!"
The abbot, already disoriented, was thrown into turmoil by Chu Tianshu's shout, spilling the whole story like beans from a bamboo tube.
Three years ago, Hall of Longevity destroyed Qingyun Sect because of a prophecy.
Because many branches of the demonic sects participated in the calculations at the time, and several of them initially did not take the prophecy to heart and were not tight-lipped, the story spread.
The legend that Dao Child of Qingyun Sect would lead the righteous path for a thousand years immediately spread like wildfire throughout the martial arts world.
Tianyin Temple naturally took this matter to heart as well, as they possess two great treasures.
One is Wordless Jade Disc. It is said that the founder comprehended the sect's supreme martial art, "Great Brahma Prajna," in front of the jade disc. The jade disc itself also has the effect of regulating the earth's energy.
The second is the Samsara Disc.
This Samsara Disc also possesses the ability to make calculations. The four great monks joined forces to make a calculation regarding the prophecy of the Qingyun Sect.
Since the Demonic Sect had already calculated this prophecy, it would be much easier for others to calculate it as well.
After calculating, the four eminent monks discovered that the prophecy was indeed true.
Decades later, Dao Child of Qingyun Sect will indeed lead the righteous path, suppress demons and monsters, and bring great prosperity to the immortal sects.
This is a great thing for the righteous path; how can it be stifled by the Demonic Sect?!
Tianyin Temple immediately dispatched a large number of monks and mobilized its connections in the martial arts world to search for the remaining disciples of the Qingyun Sect.
However, very few of the Qingyun Sect disciples escaped to begin with, and those who survived were much more wary.
Fang Wuchen as men and fled directly to the Northern Wastes, traveling tens of thousands of miles to get far away from Mount Qingyun.
Tianyin Temple finally managed to find two members of the Qingyun Sect, but one of them was intercepted and killed by the Demonic Sect shortly after being found.
Fortunately, the other Qingyun Sect member, whose cultivation was also quite remarkable, grew stronger with each battle, displaying a variety of resourcefulness. Together with the monks, they successfully made contact with Tianyin Temple.
The Divine Monk Snow and the High Person Jade Toad personally took action and brought the person back to the temple.
That is Daoist Priest Shuhui.
Daoist Priest Shuhui who hates evil and is determined to vanquish demons. He is humble and gentle towards the monks in the temple and is very popular.
Although he strictly adhered to the rules of the Qingyun Sect and was unwilling to exchange Taiji Profound Clear Dao with Tianyin Temple, he often discussed some methods of application.
The temple also gave him many elixirs, which helped him deepen his cultivation.
However, the power of the Demonic Sect sect is also growing stronger.
In particular, the Hall of Longevity has become a behemoth among the Demonic Sect.
Seeing that revenge was becoming increasingly hopeless, Shuhui could not hide her anxiety and often discussed the situation between the righteous and the demonic forces with the senior monks in the temple.
Finally, one day, the four great monks came up with a brilliant idea.
The Dao Child of Qingyun Sect will only become an apprentice forty-seven years from now, and he probably hasn't even been born yet.
So, is it possible to have Dao Child of Qingyun Sect born ahead of schedule?!
The Samsara Disc, also known as the Heaven and Earth Samsara Disc.
This object can collect the subtle energy within the universe, calculate changes, and regenerate.
It can look back to the past to predict the specific environment of a certain era and place, and it can also predict the environmental atmosphere of a certain era and region in the future.
Driven by human cultivation, a special celestial phenomenon and earth energy are simulated within a small area.
In the past Tianyin Temple used this treasure to simulate rare environments to help the monks break through their spiritual barriers.
If we could use this treasure to calculate and simulate the environment in which Dao Child of Qingyun Sect was born.
It is possible that the carefully selected children in the temple will inherit the Fortune of the Dao Child of Qingyun Sect and begin their rapid cultivation ahead of time, bringing about an era of great prosperity for the righteous path.
Daoist Priest Shuhui, as the only remaining Qingyun Sect member with the highest cultivation level, was the catalyst in this simulation.
However, a suitable time is needed to launch this simulation.
Not long ago, the legend of the Four Wondrous Stones of the Heavenly Wolf Sect spread throughout the martial arts world.
Tianyin Temple wasn't greedy for the Four Wondrous Stones; instead, they saw it as a great opportunity.
Taking advantage of the fact that many of the Demonic Sect Sect's experts were distracted by the Heavenly Wolf Sect, they could launch a simulation.
"The monks also anticipated that even if the Demonic Sect focused its efforts on the Heavenly Wolf Sect, it would still send people to block the gate to prevent other righteous sects from sending reinforcements."
"The one who dares to block Tianyin Temple must be Hall of Longevity."
"To activate the Samsara Disc, three great monks need to work together, and another one, by utilizing the Tianyin Temple's formation, can create a false impression of power and confront the Master of the Hall of Longevity."
Even if the Master of the Hall of Longevity becomes suspicious, as long as he cannot find enough helpers in time, he will never be able to Tianyin Temple.
From a purely intentional standpoint, Tianyin Temple did take advantage of the Heavenly Wolf Sect to some extent.
However, objectively speaking, if the Tianyin Temple plan succeeds, it will still help the Heavenly Wolf Sect restrain the Hall of Longevity and successfully give birth to a Dao Child.
For the righteous path as a whole, this is indeed a good thing, and they are not in the wrong.
Those present were all mature and righteous individuals, and none of them had any objections to this.
Even Yue Tianchi, considering his own plan for the Four Wondrous Stones, kept it a secret beforehand and didn't say much.
However, he still felt a bit aggrieved.
Their plan, the Heavenly Wolf Sect's plan, was purely for the purpose of striking at the Demonic Sect.
Tianyin Temple's plan not only fought against the Demonic Sect, but also secretly brought great benefits to the monks' family.
Can the Daoist statues created by Tianyin Temple still be called Daoist statues?
Perhaps he's a Buddhist disciple.
"The arrangement made by the four eminent monks is truly ingenious."
Yue Chunfeng's eyes shone with a fighting spirit and a thirst for knowledge, yet he was even more puzzled as to how he could have heard the news of his entire family being wiped out.
"But!"
The abbot choked up again, "But we failed!"
"At the critical moment when the Divine Monk Snow and the Master of the Hall of Longevity were facing off, and the three great monks were operating the Samsara Disc, their bodies and minds completely unguarded."
"Shuhui, who was also in the camp, suddenly attacked and severely injured the three great monks."
If it had been someone else at that time, it would have been impossible for them to easily enter the aura of the Samsara Disc.
It was precisely Shuhui, a person who occupied an important position in the calculation and simulation, yet didn't need to exert much effort herself.
"As if he had foreseen the future, the Master of the Hall of Longevity struck at that crucial moment, shattering the mountain gate."
"They were working together from the inside; they killed anyone they saw, they, they—"
The abbot's soul even shed tears of blood.
"That scoundrel Shuhui has long been subdued by the Master of the Hall of Longevity!"
Everyone fell silent.
Upon hearing Fang Wuchen's current state, his eyes turned bloodshot with anger.
Shuhui was her martial uncle.
"This whole thing was probably a setup from the very beginning."
Chu Tianshu's expression turned serious as he asked, "Supervisor, how many people escaped like you?"
The abbot said, "I don't know. When I left, the monks had already met with disaster. The Samsara Disc seemed to be struggling in the hands of the Master of the Hall of Longevity, and the demonic disciples were ordered to attack the Wordless Jade Disc— "
"Oh?"
Chu Tianshu's eyes lit up. "He didn't rush to kill them all, nor did he immediately come to the aid of the Heavenly Lake battlefield. It seems he has quite a lot of confidence in the Hall Master of Spirit Mountain Hall."
"That jade disc, I heard, has been connected to the earth's energy for a thousand years. How long will it take to extract it?"
The abbot was unaware of the situation at Heavenly Lake Battlefield and was still immersed in grief.
Upon hearing this, High Person Jade Toad's spirits lifted.
"Master of the Hall of Longevity, you are far too greedy. You even want to dig up that jade disc that even we Buddhist disciples cannot comprehend."
"They need at least five hours—no, at least, at least three hours—to sever the connection between the earth's energy and the earth's energy!"
High Person Jade Toad gritted his teeth, weighing the options in his mind, and gave the most conservative answer.
Chu Tianshu's eyes flickered, sweeping over everyone before turning to Shangguan Yunyan.
Shangguan Yunyan's thoughts raced, but she resolutely said, "No matter what, we can't let the Demonic Sect really grow too powerful."
"It is my duty to do this as well."
Chu Tianshu nodded and tossed the Black Dragon Sword to Fang Wuchen.
"Wuchen, don't worry about anything else, just keep channeling fire into this sword."
"All of you disciples and Rogue Cultivator, stay here. We will handle this matter ourselves!"
