The Dongzhou Empress was pressuring them, and the Dongzhou Empire could no longer allow the Green Bull Monastery to stay.
The situation was stronger than the people. The Green Bull Temple had no choice but to move.
But where to go was a big problem.
Everyone knew that the Green Bull Temple was in big trouble now that the Empress of Dongzhou had kicked them out so mercilessly.
Just like Jiang Yi, the former Hierarch of the Ancient God, the Abbey Dean was not in the Green Bull Mountain at all. No one knew whether he was dead or alive, and his whereabouts were unknown.
In this way, even if the Green Bull Monastery moved, they had to be careful of others taking advantage of the opportunity to attack them.
Although Emperor Chu of the Southern Chu Dynasty was in closed-door cultivation, who knew when he would come out?
Without the monastery head, the Green Ox Monastery was already treading on thin ice.
On the other hand, in the Western Qin Dynasty, the Great Emperor of the Western Qin was not there, and the Western Heaven and the Bitter Sea Demonic Buddha were engaged in a fierce battle. If the Green Bull Taoist Temple moved over at this time, although they would have to face Abbot Puhui of the Western Heaven and Abbot Fakong of the Bitter Sea Demonic Buddha, and the pressure was not small, being between the two strong forces, there was still room for maneuver.
In particular, the original master of the Western Qin, who was also facing the pressure from the two Holy Lands, the orthodox one and the devil one. At this time, he and the Green Bull Taoist Temple were just in luck.
It could be said that it would arouse the vigilance of the Western Paradise and the Misery Sea, but it would not be so easy for these two old enemies to make peace.
Inside the royal family of the Western Qin, the Green Bull Temple had long been in touch with Young Lord Li Gucheng.
Chen Luoyang, who knew the secret inside story, had thought that the Green Bull Temple would simply move to the Western Qin Dynasty.
In the end, he came to the territory controlled by the Ancient God …
This was not a good thing to say.
Although there were no grudges between the two sides, they were, after all, the Righteous and the Demonic. Their ways of doing things were very different.
Especially when the two sides had differences in their beliefs.
Back then, when someone from the Green Bull Temple helped the Ancient God to quell the internal strife in Zheng Chi, many people in the mortal world were shocked.
Even the people inside the Ancient God were extremely surprised.
That time didn't count, but this time, it was even bigger.
For a moment, all the forces in the mortal world turned to look at him.
Since when did your two families become so close as if you're wearing a pair of pants?
In the end, everyone could only attribute it to a certain Supreme Martial Artist's disciple with the surname Chen.
Although I can barely understand it, aren't you bunch of cow-noses a little too shameless?
Everyone cursed in their hearts.
Chen Luoyang, on the other hand, was suspicious.
Last year, he was able to control the Green Bull Temple because the Green Bull Temple asked him to help keep the secret that the temple master was no longer in the mortal world.
Now that the secret had been exposed, the Green Bull Temple had nothing to worry about.
Although it was hard to go to the Western Qin, it was better than going to the Land of the Ancient God.
It was impossible for them not to know that taking the initiative to come to him was different from helping him last year. They were directly making him lower his head first.
To put it bluntly, if he wanted to cast his vote, he would cast his vote for the Supreme Being himself. He wouldn't cast his vote for a disciple of the Supreme Being, nor would he cast his vote for the Ancient God who worshipped and worshipped the Ancient Gods and Devils.
The Green Bull Monastery was the leader of all the Daoist sects in the world. They could not easily lower their heads in this aspect.
Could it be that they had other plans?
"Invite Daoist Ye in."
Chen Luoyang thought to himself as he passed down the order.
"Yes, Hierarch." Su Wei, the Chief Monk of the Basaltic Temple, immediately accepted the order and left.
Soon, he came in with a tall young Taoist priest. He was the heir of the Green Bull Temple, Ye Canmian.
"Ye Canmian, a disciple of the Green Bull Temple, pays respect to Hierarch Chen." The young Taoist priest bowed to Chen Luoyang.
Chen Luoyang invited him to take a seat and asked calmly, "What brings you here today, Daoist Ye?"
As expected, Ye Canmian answered, "Today, I'm here on behalf of the whole temple. I have a presumptuous request to see Hierarch Chen and discuss it with the Hierarch. I sincerely hope that Hierarch Chen will grant my request."
He sighed and said, "Hierarch Chen, please don't laugh at me. Our temple has suffered a great calamity. We can't return to our original gate for the time being, so we have to find another foothold. I sincerely hope that Hierarch Chen can help us. The whole Green Bull Temple will be very grateful."
"I've already known what happened in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty." Chen Luoyang's tone was indifferent. "With your sect's strong foundation, it's just a fleeting cloud that covers your eyes. There will be a day when everything turns to good."
The Basaltic Temple's first seat, Su Wei, smiled and said, "Based on the current situation, other than your sect, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty has not made things difficult for other Taoist sects. Your sect's relocation will definitely affect the development of Taoism in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but the foundation is still there. I believe that there will be a day when you rise again."
In reality, it could not be said that there was no impact at all.
The Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty naturally could not plough through the land that she ruled and kill all those who worshiped Taoism.
In reality, after she flattened the Green Bull Mountain, she directly returned to the palace.
As for the other Eastern Zhou experts, they only flattened the Green Bull Temple's branches in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. They had no intention of completely driving out Taoism.
In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, in order to suppress the development of Taoism, many Buddhist forces were supported.
The few famous Buddhist temples in the Red Dust World, second only to the holy land of Western Heaven, were basically all in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Now that the Green Bull Mountain had been flattened, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty did not immediately get rid of them. Instead, they let the Buddhist and Taoist forces keep each other in check and at the same time, suppress them to a certain extent.
Without the Green Bull Temple, the other Taoist temples naturally did not have an easy time, but they were not destroyed.
The Green Bull Temple itself suffered the most. It had not been in such a miserable state for many years. It was almost uprooted and homeless.
Seeing that his Hierarch did not respond to Ye Canmian's words, Su Wei comforted him with a few words.
"My temple only seeks a place to stand. I have no intention of coming into contact with the locals. Hierarch Chen, please do not worry." Ye Canmian bowed to Chen Luoyang again.
Chen Luoyang tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair and looked Ye Canmian up and down. "You have not reached the eighteenth level?"
Ye Canmian said honestly, "Hierarch Chen's discerning eyes are like torches. I am ashamed."
Su Wei listened quietly with a pair of panda eyes. He gradually felt that something was wrong.
The holy land of Taoism, the Green Bull Temple, had a deep foundation and many experts.
However, it seemed that the person with the most hope of breaking through to Martial Venerable and becoming a powerhouse was this tall young Taoist in front of him.
The rest, such as Li Qingyuan and the other old experts, had been stuck at the eighteenth level for many years.
Their drive had been weakened and their footsteps had stopped. It was almost impossible for them to rise again. It was better to wait for Ye Canmian, who was at his peak, and give him as many resources as possible.
However, even Ye Canmian, who was making great progress, needed time to break through to Martial Venerable and fill the gap left by Temple Head Yu Qingniu.
Like Xu Peng of the Azure Dragon Island, Yan Ming of the West Heaven, or Shen Tianzhao and Cheng Yingtian, he had already reached the eighteenth level. It was still a problem when he would have the courage and confidence to challenge that natural chasm, not to mention that Ye Canmian was still in the seventeenth level. He needed more time to accumulate.
Under such circumstances, the Green Bull Temple could only plan Slowly, bide their time, and wait patiently.
It was difficult to find a quiet place for them to recuperate in the mortal world.
The Misery Sea and the West Heaven were fighting for supremacy. The Western Qin had a strong guest and a weak host. Although the whole situation was chaotic and complicated, the Green Bull Temple still had a chance.
Even if it did not work out, the Southern Chu could still choose.
Emperor Chu could indeed come out of his closed-door training at any time.
But as long as he didn't come out, the Green Bull Temple could keep a foothold in the Southern Chu. As long as they did not push their luck, the Southern Chu Dynasty might not fight them to the death.
But now, they had come to the Ancient God's temporary shelter. If they had no bad intentions, it seemed that they were only here for a while.
… It seemed that they could counterattack and return to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in a short time.
At that thought, Su Wei frowned secretly. He smelled something unusual and was puzzled.
On the other hand, Chen Luoyang looked calm. His fingers tapped the armrest of the chair from time to time, and his dark golden eyes looked down at Ye Canmian.
"Give me a reason," Chen Luoyang said calmly.
Ye Canmian was a wise man. He knew that his own movement would arouse the suspicion of the Ancient God.
He turned to look at Su Wei.
"Go ahead." Chen Luoyang's tone was calm.
Ye Canmian nodded. "I got a piece of news by accident, but I don't know whether it's true or not. I didn't have enough confidence. I wanted to verify it further before asking Hierarch Chen to report it to the Supreme Being. But before I could make any progress, this happened."
"Go ahead." Chen Luoyang said calmly, "I will report it to my master and ask him to make a decision."
Ye Canmian's expression was solemn. "The Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty may have received the Human Emperor's inheritance and is his successor."
Hearing this, Su Wei held his breath.
"Evidence." Chen Luoyang's expression did not change.
"At the moment, I don't have any concrete evidence." Ye Canmian shook his head regretfully. "The news comes from within the Eastern Zhou Dynasty royal family, but the information is very vague."
"There is no smoke without fire. The Empress's heaven-defying rise could be due to this …" Su Wei was silent as he pondered.
Chen Luoyang was as indifferent as ever. "Let's assume that what you said is true. And then? Is this what you want to report to my master?
Although he has dominated the world, my master is not an enemy of the Human Emperor. I also have a Human Emperor's edict. "
"How the Supreme Being views this matter is not something I can guess. I just want to report it as soon as I know it." Ye Canmian replied, "I do not dare to interfere with how Hierarch Chen handles this matter. However, no matter what Hierarch Chen does, I am willing to follow your lead."
Su Wei turned to look at his Hierarch.
Because of the Netherworld Sword Technique, his Hierarch had always been at odds with the Sky River Sect. He had even killed many of their people, forming a deep grudge.
The Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty had always been on good terms with the Sky River Sword Immortal.
The two sides had never officially clashed because they had other, more important enemies.
Even if they did not clash because of the Sky River, the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty could be a huge obstacle to his Hierarch's rise.
If she really was the successor of the Human Emperor …
Of course, the world belonged to the Supreme Being. However, the Supreme Being rarely involved himself in matters of the world. When the time came, who would be in charge of the world on his behalf?
It was true that his Hierarch was the Supreme Being's only successor. However, what if a new Human Emperor was born in the world?
"We are still investigating the details, but we should have accurate information in the near future," Ye Canmian said.
