Unfortunately, it was too early for Yuanshi to be happy. It was true that the Chan Sect was going to prosper, but the fault lay in the fact that Celestial Master Yuanshi was unfair and entrusted all the affairs of the sect to his favorite disciples. This naturally caused dissatisfaction among the other disciples. They had also done their best in the Battle of Gods Investiture, but in the end, they did not get a share of the benefits, so they were naturally dissatisfied.
In the Chan Sect, there were a total of 14 disciples. In addition to the Burning Lamp and Jiang Ziya, there were 12 Golden Immortals. In the Battle of Gods Investiture, Ju Liusun, Immortal Huanglong, Immortal Qingxu, Master Lingbao, and Master Chijingzi died on the list. Among the remaining seven, only Guang Chengzi, Immortal Taiyi, and Immortal Yuding were favored by Celestial Master Yuanshi, so the major affairs of the sect were entrusted to them.
Celestial Master Yuanshi himself had long been in closed-door training. In this Battle of Gods Investiture, he had also suffered serious injuries. After Hongjun and the Tongtian Hierarch left Tendo, Celestial Master Yuanshi also had the idea of leaving Tendo. Although Sages were good, they were restrained by Tendo everywhere. They were not as free and unrestrained as Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.
Now in the Great Desolation, although Tendo prohibited Sages and Hunyuan masters from fighting, such restrictions were only effective on Sages. Just like River Styx and Hongjun, even if they really fought in the Great Desolation, so what? Would Tendo want to perish together with them? Obviously, it was impossible, but Sages were different. Their Vital Spirits were entrusted to Tendo, so Tendo could do whatever it wanted to you.
Yuanshi Celestial Master was proud and arrogant, so how could he be willing to be coerced by others, even Tendo? Moreover, even Hongjun, who had integrated with the Tao, chose to leave Tendo, which showed that there must be some secret. Although he did not know what it was, at least it was the right choice to leave Tendo. However, at this time, he needed to be fully prepared. It must be at the right time, place, and people. None of them could be omitted.
Yuanshi Celestial Master did not ask about the sect affairs, and Guang Chengzi also resolutely chose to do closed-door training after seeing the vastness of the world. Liu Er's Taoism had deeply stimulated Chengzi. He originally thought that after reaching Quasi-saint cultivation, he could shorten the gap between him and Liu Er, but now, the gap was getting wider and wider. That Liu Er, Liu Er, had to.
After Guang Chengzi's closed-door training, the power of the sect fell into the hands of Immortal Yu Ding and Immortal Taiyi. However, this also made the other surviving Golden Immortals extremely dissatisfied. At the same time, the inner disciples of Yuanshi Celestial Master had also contributed to the Battle of Gods Investiture, but they did not have a share in the missionary work. How could they be satisfied?
Although the missionary work was tedious, they could use it to leave their own orthodoxy among the Human Tribe and accumulate more Fate for themselves. Missionary work was a small matter, but Fate was important. After all, the amount of Fate was related to cultivation. Why was the Battle of Gods Investiture? It was for the sake of fighting for the Fate of the Human Tribe. Even Sages would care about it, let alone disciples like them.
The ones who were the most dissatisfied were Manjushri Guangfa, Samantabhadra Immortal, and Daoist Cihang. Ever since the Nine Yellow Tunes River Formation, although they were able to recover their cultivation of Daluo Golden Immortal, compared to before, their cultivation was greatly damaged. It was the time when they urgently needed fate to help them cultivate, but Heavenly Lord Yuanshi did not let the three of them intervene in the matter of preaching. Naturally, they were greatly dissatisfied.
Of course, they were not the only ones who were dissatisfied. The Deputy Hierarch of the Clan of Enlightenment, Taoist Burning Lamp, was also dissatisfied. It was reasonable for the Burning Lamp to be dissatisfied. Of course, he disregarded his identity and became Celestial Master Yuanshi's disciple. Although he had obtained the position of Deputy Hierarch of the Clan of Enlightenment, he did not have any real power. Moreover, Celestial Master Yuanshi distributed Lingbao, and the Burning Lamp did not have anything. It could be said that the Burning Lamp relied on himself to achieve the cultivation of Quasi-saint today.
Since he joined the Clan of Enlightenment, the Burning Lamp could be said to have done his best for the Clan of Enlightenment. From assisting Xuanyuan to the Battle of Gods Investiture that had just ended, the Burning Lamp could be said to have done his best for the Clan of Enlightenment. However, how did Celestial Master Yuanshi treat him? He only praised him lightly and did not do anything else. Thinking about it, what kind of favor did Celestial Master Yuanshi give him? He was really unworthy of being a teacher.
One day, Manjushri Heavenly Lord Guangfa, Samantabhadra Immortal, and Cihang Daoist gathered together. They talked about Tao and vented their depression. At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them. He looked at them with a smile and said, "The three of you are destined to be with me. Why don't you throw away the shackles now and re-cultivate the Tao that is really suitable for you?"
At the same time, the Burning Lamp looked at the person who appeared in front of him with surprise. The person ignored the Burning Lamp's surprise and said lightly, "Burning Lamp, although you are the Deputy Hierarch of the Clan of Enlightenment, everyone knows that it is just an empty title. You cultivate the Tao of Nirvana, which is inconsistent with the doctrine of the Clan of Enlightenment. Why don't you join me?"
… ….
In the Jade Mirage Palace, Yuanshi Heavenly Lord was meditating on the Tendo. Although his injury was not light, it did not hurt his foundation. With the strength of a Sage, it would not take long for him to recover. At this moment, he was preparing to leave the Tendo in the future. If he was not prepared enough, his vitality would be greatly damaged when he left the Tendo. That would not be good.
In fact, after a Sage became a Sage, their strength was also improving day by day. However, unlike River Styx, they relied on the Purple Qi of Hongmeng and the merit of the Tendo to attain the Sage Position. Although they had the Sage Realm, it was not because of their painstaking cultivation. Therefore, if they wanted to improve their strength, they naturally had to make up for what they lacked.
It was like building a house. For example, after building to the tenth floor, they only laid the framework of the eleventh floor and then directly built the twelfth floor. Although they could reach the twelfth floor, if they wanted to continue building, they naturally needed time to fill the gap of the eleventh floor. Otherwise, if they continued to build, it would only lead to the collapse of the building.
Therefore, after becoming a Sage, all the Sages painstakingly meditated on the Tendo in order to make up for the previous gap. For example, after leaving the Tendo, although the Tongtian Sect Master was no longer a Sage, his cultivation was still equivalent to the Middle-stage of the Origin. Although he was slightly weaker than before, at least his cultivation did not drop too much.
Now that Celestial Master Yuanshi had decided to leave the Tendo, it was naturally impossible for him to act in a hurry. While he was still a Sage and could meditate on the Tendo at a close distance, he naturally had to seize this opportunity to improve his Origin Realm as much as possible. If he fell from the Middle-stage of the Sage Realm to the Early-stage of the Origin after leaving the Tendo, which was worse than the Tongtian Sect Master, then he would lose face as Celestial Master Yuanshi.
After cultivating in seclusion for a long time, Celestial Master Yuanshi could be considered to have made some gains in his meditation on the Tendo. But suddenly, his heart throbbed as if something was about to happen. However, when he pinched his fingers to calculate, he could not calculate anything. Celestial Master Yuanshi frowned and felt a little uneasy. Could it be that something had happened to the Chan Sect during his seclusion?
After leaving the seclusion, Celestial Master Yuanshi came to the main hall of the Jade Virtual Palace. He stretched out his hand and rang the golden bell that gathered the disciples. After a while, the disciples on Kunlun Mountain arrived one after another. Celestial Master Yuanshi frowned when he saw this. Not to mention the other disciples, only three of the remaining seven Golden Immortals of the Twelve Golden Immortals had come, and the Burning Lamp had not arrived.
Under such circumstances, how could Celestial Master Yuanshi not be suspicious? Among the inner disciples, there was no time for Guang Chengzi, Celestial Master Manjushri Guangfa, Immortal Samantabhadra, Daoist Cihang, and the Burning Lamp. He knew about Guang Chengzi's situation. At this time, he was in seclusion. Could it be that the Burning Lamp and the other three were also in seclusion? Could it be that they had gone out to travel, or had returned to their own Taoist temples?
However, when he calculated the whereabouts of these four people, the mysteries of heaven were a blur. Celestial Master Yuanshi frowned. Could it be that someone had concealed their mysteries of heaven? Celestial Master Yuanshi's Divine Thought swept across. First, he looked at the four Taoist temples. However, the four of them were not in their respective Taoist temples. Therefore, Celestial Master Yuanshi began to search in the Great Desolation with his Divine Thought.
Finally, at the border between the Dong Sheng Divine Continent and the Aparagodānīya Continent, Celestial Master Yuanshi saw the traces of Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang. However, when he saw the people with them, Celestial Master Yuanshi's expression changed greatly. His heart was filled with anger. He ignored the disciples in the hall who were looking at each other. He just snorted coldly and disappeared from the hall.
At the border between the Dong Sheng Divine Continent and the Aparagodānīya Continent, Zhunti led Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang to this place. Summon was already there. Seeing that Summon had actually come to pick them up personally, Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang were greatly flattered. Unfortunately, they did not know that Summon had come here not for them, but to settle a big matter.
At this moment, Yuanshi suddenly appeared. Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang's expressions changed greatly. They did not expect Celestial Master Yuanshi to catch up with them so quickly. Looking at Celestial Master Yuanshi's face full of anger, the three of them lowered their heads in shame. After all, they had been separated for so many years. Now that they had done such a thing, they were indeed a little ashamed.
Before Celestial Master Yuanshi spoke, Zhunti said first, "Daoist Friend Yuanshi, you are unjust in handling things, causing your disciples to have resentment. Now that Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang have turned to the Western Sect, I think Daoist Friend can also see that the three of them have changed to practice the Western Sect's methods. From now on, they are no longer disciples of your Chan Sect."
Celestial Master Yuanshi was about to get angry, but Summon said, "Daoist Friend Yuanshi, since you are here, you can be a witness. Although the Western Sect belongs to the Xuanmen Sect, it has always been regarded as an unorthodox sect by you. In this case, today, my junior brother and I have decided that the Western Sect will leave the Xuanmen Sect and change its name to Buddhism. I, Summon Taoist, will be the Amitabha Buddha of Buddhism."
Zhunti also said, "From now on, I, Zhunti Taoist, will be the Mother of All Buddhas of Buddhism, Zhunti Buddha Mother, Samantabhadra will be the Taixing Samantabhadra Bodhisattva of Buddhism, Manjushri will be the Manjushri Bodhisattva of Buddhism, and Cihang will be the Great Merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva of Buddhism, Tendo will be the witness." It was Tendo who confirmed Summon Zhunti's words.
