Perhaps they would look down on the strength of martial practitioners of the external dao, despising them for not knowing the reason behind it. Still, whether it was Yan Zhaoge and the others of Daoism's direct lineage or the Dipankara Ancient Buddha and the Unbreakable Vajra Buddha of orthodox Buddhism, they had always been well aware of the strength of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Future Buddha.
After all, they were two Dao Realm experts.
Yang Jian and Mahamayuri were experts who looked down on their peers and could almost look down on all living beings like the Dao Ancestor. If they really faced the Heavenly Lord of the Immeasurable or the Future Buddha, they would still be no match for them. It would be a blessing if they could escape and survive.
The Heavenly Lord of Plentiful Treasure had cultivated the Chaos Annihilation Origins Sutra. Without the Immortal Vanquishing Four Swords, he was able to set up an incomplete Immortal Vanquishing Array by himself. He was even able to cleave through the Dark Yang Apricot Flag's defenses. Even so, he perished because of the Ancestral Fiend Great Freedom Skyfiend.
However, the fact that he was able to escape from the Mahesvara Heavenly Demon without being killed on the spot and dying from his injuries afterwards was enough for everyone to praise him.
Conversely, this proved the gap between the Dao Realm and the Immortal Realm from another aspect.
It was a chasm that was even more distant than the gap between immortals and humans.
Therefore, the ancient Dipankara Buddha, Daolord Lu Ya, Mahamayuri, and other famous powerhouses were all working hard to reach the Dao Realm.
Therefore, when Yang Jian discovered the problem between Suo Mingzhang and Yan Di, he felt that it was a pity.
Therefore, the people of the Dao Sect were also working hard for the next round of the Nine Underworlds.
However, even if the Dao Sect won in the end and someone successfully ascended to the Dao Realm, the situation could only be said to be better than it was now. However, it could not be said that they could sit back and relax and start sweeping the world.
After all, there was more than one opponent.
If one party was too domineering, it was very likely that the other parties would join forces to target them.
When he could suppress everyone with his own strength, and when he had such an obvious advantage that he didn't have to worry about both sides suffering, that was when he would truly be able to do whatever he wanted.
Many a grain of sand could form a tower, and many a little would make a mickle. Yan Zhaoge naturally had to carefully grasp every chance to strengthen his own forces as well as weaken his opponents.
A dam of a thousand li may be destroyed by an ant's nest.
It was true that the Heavenly Lord of the Immeasurable and the Future Buddha were powerful, but their paths to the Dao Realm weren't perfect to begin with. It wasn't impossible for others to poach them.
Even as Yan Zhaoge made good use of his cultivation, he was also thinking about how to wield the shovel.
This was not only for the sake of offense, but also for the sake of offense.
The Immeasurable Heavenly Lord's purification of the people of the Daoist sects was too strong. The potential threat still existed.
Amongst Yan Zhaoge's acquaintances, there were Fu Ting, Meng Wan and He Xixing who were filled with hidden worries.
The Future Buddha and the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus weren't as convenient. However, they could still illuminate Daoism's people.
Yan Zhaoge naturally had to be on guard against such tyrannical methods.
Given his current cultivation, even the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Future Buddha would not be able to forcefully purify him unless he was willing.
However, there were still a large number of people with lower cultivation realms.
Other than that, if Yan Zhaoge and the others of Daoism wanted to gain anything from the grand scheme of the Nine Underworlds that would soon begin, they would have to gain a greater understanding and grasp of the Nine Underworlds.
Of course, Yan Zhaoge had to admit that if his research really made a huge progress, he would be looking forward to seeing the scene of the Daoism Core Deity warriors battling against the believers imbued with faith power of the heretics.
While it was a little mischievous, it also contained Yan Zhaoge's expectations.
After all, to be honest, it was much easier for the low-tier heretics to ascend compared to orthodox Daoism. Other than the Grand Heavenly Realm, the heretics had an obvious advantage in numbers.
The Immortal Court had a total of three thousand Immortal Territories. Under normal circumstances, a Heavenly Immortal could enjoy faith power ranging from two hundred and sixteen to two hundred and seventy. Virtual Immortals could enjoy faith power ranging from thirty-six to forty-five. Profound Immortals could enjoy faith power ranging from twelve to fifteen. True Immortals could enjoy faith power ranging from four to five.
This meant that under normal circumstances, other than the twelve Grand Heavenly Immortals, the Immortal Court had seventy-two Grand Virtual Immortals, two hundred and sixteen Tranquil Profound Immortals, and seven hundred and twenty Leakless True Immortals.
While the numbers might be slightly off, they would generally maintain this level for a long time.
If a large-scale casualty occurred, other than the Grand Heavenly Immortals, which were hard to come by, and the Grand Virtual Immortals, the Profound Immortal Realm and True Immortal Realm could be quickly replenished.
As for the Martial Saints below the Immortal Realm or even lower realms, nothing else needed to be said.
The Blessed Lands of the White Lotus had more resources than them.
In the eyes of Daoism and Buddhism's lineages, they were just a bunch of weaklings. Occasionally, there would be some outstanding ones, but they were held back by the heretics, which was even more of a pity.
However, the massive numbers and the replenishment speed were still something to be concerned about.
In terms of pure improvement speed, no one could surpass the Nine Underworlds' Divinity Devil Empowerment.
The Nine Underworlds' conditions were extremely harsh, to the point that it was almost unique. Not only was it harder than the heretics, but it was also harsher than Daoism, Buddhism, and the Demon Race.
Currently, Yan Zhaoge's research within the Everlasting Cloud Vow was based on both the Nine Underworlds and the heretics.
Currently, he only had some inklings of it. He was still far from achieving anything.
However, he had sufficient patience. This was a long-term plan, which could last for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
Including poaching the heretics' talents and fleecing them, it was also a long-term plan.
The only thing that would affect him in the near future was his deeper research on the Nine Underworlds.
"Don't worry. I'll come here often. Han Long 'er, you just have to follow the usual routine and memorize all the information I tell you to record." Yan Zhaoge smiled and patted Ying Longtu's shoulder, "It won't stump you."
For Ying Longtu, the title "Han Long 'er" had already become history after he reached adulthood and ascended to the Immortal Realm. He was already an expert and a hero of Daoism.
If others called him that, it would be equivalent to provocation.
Only Yan Zhaoge, Feng Yunsheng, Xu Fei, Yan Di, Yuan Zhengfeng, and a few others would call him that. Moreover, it was only in private, and was rarely mentioned in public.
Ying Longtu was very happy for Yan Zhaoge and the others to call him that. Instead, he hoped that Yan Zhaoge would call him "junior apprentice-brother Ying".
Only, after hearing Yan Zhaoge's words, Ying Longtu could only smile bitterly, "Whatever you say, senior apprentice-brother. Still, I am indeed still not suited to my current role. Watching some outstanding youngsters face danger, while I have to remain neutral and not interfere, I just can't bear to do so. "
"Flowers cannot grow in a greenhouse. Even if it's not here, there is no need to use this method. In the Zhuluo Royal Reed Heaven, in any place, in any lineage, people have to undergo tempering. Jade that is not polished cannot be made into anything," Yan Zhaoge smiled, asking, "Right, I saw that you just sent a batch away. Where are you sending them to this time? What is the mission? "
Hearing his question, Ying Longtu's expression instantly turned strange as he stammered for a long time, "They originally just finished a mission in a world. In the end, someone triggered one of the segments of the third long-term serial mission that you set up, senior apprentice-brother. Therefore, I sent them over there."
"The third long-term serial mission …" Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin.
Feng Yunsheng helplessly covered her face by the side, "… Searching for Old Devil Yan."
