"This cloud is big enough yet not big enough. This cloud and snow in Yankang Kingdom is more like a warning. "
In the west of Mount Meru, Great Thunderclap Monastery with Golden Summit was situated above the clouds. Old Rulai looked at the entire territory of Yankang Kingdom and saw the sun shining brilliantly, illuminating the sea of clouds abnormally bright.
"In the long history of our Great Thunderclap Monastery, we have also witnessed this kind of meteorological attack."
Under Old Rulai's seat, numerous bodhisattvas, venerables, and arhats stood in great numbers. "That meteorological attack was even more vast than this one. There was also heavy snow and dark clouds, making the people unable to make a living. As a result, natural disasters happened year after year, and countless people died. Venerable Ku, go and fetch the Void Era Mourning Emperor Scriptures from Scriptures Depository and flip to page one thousand three hundred and sixty-seventh. "
A monk with a worried frown rose and left. After a moment, Venerable Ku came back with a thick scripture in his hands and flipped to the page Old Rulai had mentioned. "Void Era, Mourning Emperor Year sixty-four hundred and twenty, the meteorological phenomenon changed, and snow fell for thirty days. Clouds covered eight hundred thousand miles, and the sun couldn't be seen. Starving people were everywhere, and bandits rose. Mourning Emperor ordered all the gods and dragon kings to get rid of them. Mourning Emperor Year sixty-four hundred and thirty, fire meteors fell from the sky, and the meteor shower was like a tide. Volcanoes erupted, and the earth trembled. Ten thousand feet of cracks appeared, and the rivers dried up. The sea and the sky. The next year, the sun disappeared, and there was no light from the sun and moon … "
Behind Old Rulai, the hearts of Teacher Poor and the rest trembled violently, and they cried out, "Rulai, this is …"
"Great Ruins."
Old Rulai turned his head back and looked at the vast wilderness behind Mount Meru. "What is recorded in this scripture is the final history of God Empire in Great Ruins. The heavy snow and dark clouds were only the initial warning. However, this warning came earlier than I expected, many years earlier, and much lighter. It seems like the actions of Yankang Kingdom have alerted the higher-ups. "
Teacher Poor, True Lord Tian, and the rest felt their minds explode as they muttered, "Great Ruins …"
"If the emperor wants to quell this disaster, the only way is to stop the reform immediately, punish himself, and ask for forgiveness from Heaven and the people."
Old Rulai's gaze was profound as he said, "Otherwise, this snow disaster will only be the beginning, and there will be even more terrifying astronomical phenomena. Then the celestial phenomenon would no longer be just snow and clouds. Instead, it would be a meteor shower, volcanoes, rivers and lakes drying up, oceans evaporating, and the sun and moon disappearing. This is the wrath of the heavens. It's too much for the common people to bear the wrath of the heavens … "
"Reporting to Tathagata, the Crown Prince of the Yankang Kingdom has sent someone to seek an audience with you."
Old Rulai was slightly stunned, then said with a smile, "Your Highness still came to find this old monk. Invite him up. "
"As you wish."
Old Rulai smiled at the monks in the surroundings. "Your Highness the Crown Prince is very extraordinary and might be the savior of the world. The emperor clings to his own course, but the crown prince won't. His envoy is worth meeting. "
Dao Sect, Kunlun Jade Void Mountain.
This place was known as Jade Void Cave, and it was like a world of its own. It was like spring all year round in the mountain, and it was like a sacred ground for immortals. It wasn't inferior to Mount Meru.
"Cloud Lock of Yankang is only a warning that's neither light nor heavy. It's much lighter than the warning of the destruction of Great Ruins."
Old Dao Master said calmly to the numerous cultivators of Dao Sect, "Our Dao Sect rebelled against Yankang National Preceptor's reform not for personal gain, but for the Dao. This reform has already broken many rules and principles, so it's destined to not work. It's a pity that Yankang National Preceptor's knowledge is too shallow, so he doesn't know what kind of ending will happen when a great terror descends. "
His gaze was profound, but his aura was extremely calm as he said slowly, "Back then, when Yankang National Preceptor was still young, he came to Dao Sect to meet me. I could see that he was extraordinary and had high expectations for him, so I allowed him to see the cult legacy scriptures of our Dao Sect, hoping that he would have some accomplishments in the future. "As for the prejudice of sects, I threw it to the back of my head. Such a talent should naturally be abandoned and nurtured with all my heart. Later on, when he became the head of the National Division, my expectations for him turned into disappointment. Why? Because Dao follows nature. "
The many experts of the Dao Sect listened quietly.
"The so-called Dao follows nature refers to the fact that Dao comes from nature. We cultivators can call the wind and summon the rain, but we can't change the wind and rain, which means we can't change nature and the Great Dao. I actually don't have any prejudice against Heavenly Devil Cult. On the contrary, I admire some of Heavenly Devil Cult's actions. However, our paths are different. Why? "
Dao Master shook his head. "Dao comes from nature, but Heavenly Devil Cult wants to use Dao to change nature. This is the biggest difference between our Dao Sect and Heavenly Devil Cult, and also the reason why Heavenly Devil Cult is called a devil."
The hearts of numerous Daoists of Dao Sect trembled slightly. Dan Yangzi said, "I've seen the disciples of Heavenly Devil Cult use spells to summon clouds and summon rain to collect money from farmers during the drought. There are also people who use drilling spells to drill into the ground to solve the problem of drinking water. There are also people who use true fire to smelt ores and extract black gold to create farming tools to sell. There are also disciples of Heavenly Devil Cult who get farmers to pay for them to hunt demonic beasts. Heavenly Devil Cult is indeed going against Dao and nature, they are changing nature. "
Dao Master said, "Using Dao, Skills, and Divine Arts for the common people's daily use is changing nature and destroying nature. Changing nature and destroying nature is changing the Great Dao and destroying the Great Dao. Heavenly Devil Cult's teachings are wrong, so they can only develop into the devil path. In addition to that, there's a sentence in their teachings, to act straightforwardly, to let nature take its course. This is to indulge one's desires, to do as one pleases, to do as one pleases. If this isn't a devil, then what is? "
He sighed and said, "The National Division has been too deeply influenced by Heavenly Devil Cult, to the point that Heavenly Devil Cult's ideology is used to govern the country. Therefore, the disasters that Great Ruins experienced in the past will also appear in Yankang Kingdom. This is a punishment from heaven, a heavenly calamity, a calamity from heaven. Even so, the common people are innocent. "
Dao Master's tone softened and he said, "Go down the mountain. The punishment from heaven caused by the Emperor and the National Division shouldn't be borne by the common people. Go and help the common people who are trapped in suffering, save as many people as you can. Go and save people and find some youths with good foundations to continue the incense of our Dao Sect. "
"As you command."
The experts of Dao Sect went down the mountain one after another.
Dao Master looked at the clouds that filled the sky above Yankang Kingdom and sighed. "This shouldn't be borne by the common people … If the National Division and the Emperor persist in going about things the wrong way, our Dao Sect will have no choice but to enter the world."
Qin Mu contacted the Left and Right Guardians and passed down Cult Master's decree. "Help the Emperor send disaster relief and collect the dark clouds in the sky. After that, let the disciples of our cult go to the south to help the farmers uproot the frozen crops and replant them. Many people will die in this snow disaster, so do your best and save as many as you can. Also, let the disciples of our cult be careful. There will definitely be chaos in a disaster year, and the world won't be peaceful. "
"As you command."
Left Guardian Ning Daochi hesitated for a moment before asking, "Sacred Cult Master, in what capacity should we help the Emperor? If the Emperor bestows an official position, should we accept it or not? "
Qin Mu pondered for a moment and said, "As individuals, use the power of our sacred cult to do your best. If the Emperor bestows an official position, accept it. If the Emperor can tolerate the National Division, he can also tolerate us. Yankang Kingdom is Heavenly Saint Cult, so there's no need to be suspicious. "
He paused for a moment before continuing, "The world isn't peaceful now, and divine arts practitioners are used to being high and mighty. If they were to be like our Heavenly Saint Cult and serve the mortals, they wouldn't be willing to. The National Division once said that he had killed a batch of clear streams, but he couldn't kill them all. After killing one batch, another batch would appear. I thought the National Division was joking, but now it seems like it's true. "
