Chapter 42: The Witch's First Battle

  The five saints of the vast wilderness proved their way, and the four teachings were established simultaneously, completely changing the trend of the world. First, the human race became the third largest tribe after the witch and demon tribes because they had a sacred treasure to suppress the aura, and countless cultivators also turned their attention to the Three Purities and the two saints of the Western World.

  Although the Buddha and Quan Yin are sacred, they are also extremely busy. On the one hand, they have to open up the Pure Land Heaven as a future dojo, on the other hand, they have to prepare to widely spread the teachings of Buddhism, and at the same time consolidate their cultivation, how can they not be busy?

  The Three Pure Ones also opened up the Great Red Heaven, the Clear and Bright Heaven, and the Yu Yu Heaven, becoming the Daoist temples of the Three Pure Ones in the Primordial Chaos. The Three Pure Ones also had to open their doors wide, gather disciples, and spread the great Dao.

  Laozi adheres to the idea of governing by non-action and is unwilling to accept many disciples. In fact, it's also because Laozi has outsmarted all the other sages in establishing his teachings. By establishing a humanistic teaching, he can enjoy the aura of fortune without effort, while other sects have to strive for it. If Laozi were to open up his teachings widely, he would become a thorn in the eyes of all the sages. He is unwilling to offend everyone, and besides, having more disciples means that on one hand, it's beneficial for spreading his teachings, but on the other hand, it also invites disaster and trouble. Therefore, Laozi wisely chose to accept only one disciple.

  Yuanshi and Tongtian wanted to recruit more disciples, so they could expand their influence. Yuanshi tended to recruit elite disciples, but unfortunately, it was already too late. At that time, most of the cultivators in the Hongyuan were owned by the demon tribe. After careful selection, Yuanshi recruited twelve personal disciples, who later became known as the Twelve Upper Immortals: Guangchengzi, Chijin, Yuding Zhenren, Taizhen Zhenren, Huanglong Zhenren, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, Puxian Zhenren, Cihang Daoren, Lingbao Dafashi, Juliusun, Qingxu Dao De Zhenjun, and Daoxing Tianzun.

  After that, Yuansheng also accepted Yun Zhongzi, Nanji Xianweng and Randalao Dao Ren. It was said that Randao was also one of the pre-heavenly great gods, but his qualifications were limited, so he only managed to catch up with the second lecture of the Taoist ancestor, thus his foundation was unstable and it was difficult for him to make progress. In an era where witches and demons were rampant and saints emerged in large numbers, he couldn't get by, so he wanted to find a place to rely on.

  Ran Deng still had a deep impression of Dao Zu's cultivation, so he chose among the saints. Ran Deng felt that San Qing had an advantage in numbers, and it was unlikely that anyone could provoke him, so he went to Kunlun Mountain. Lao Zi did not accept him as a disciple, but thought it would be prestigious to accept a pre-heavenly great god. However, Ran Deng had already learned the Dao in Zixiao Palace and had his own cultivation method, making it difficult for him to become a disciple. So Yuanshi acknowledged Ran Deng as the vice sect leader of Xuan Jiao, overseeing its daily affairs.

  Although the lamp came seeking refuge, seeing that the original did not help himself in his Taoist practice, he was dissatisfied and felt inferior to the original's disciples, thus sowing discord for the future of the sect.

  To say that the Tongtian Sect Master opened the mountain gate and widely gathered disciples, among whom there were many excellent and beautiful jade-like talents, such as Duobao Daoren, Jinxing Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu and other disciples. However, to be honest, the vast majority of the remaining disciples are really not impressive, and some even only have the cultivation of a Tianxian.

  It's also because the Saints recruited disciples a bit late, and some cultivators with high attainments were taken away by the demon tribe, leaving only some miscellaneous soldiers. Therefore, the contradictions between the Saints and the demon tribe, as well as the witch tribe, are all-encompassing, including the management rights of the Primordial Chaos, the distribution of spiritual energy, resources, and personnel allocation, which are all irreconcilable.

  All saints come out together, representing the witch's disaster is coming.

  After being busy for nearly three hundred years, the work was temporarily completed. On this day, he sat quietly in the Heart Palace of Mount Sumeru to lecture on the scriptures. Suddenly, he felt a surge of heart blood and knew that the opportunity had arrived. A young boy came to report that someone had crossed the Red Dust Golden Bridge, and the King of Medicine led the newcomer to the Heart Palace.

  Before long, a young monk came to the Temple of Purity and bowed down.

  "The grand ceremony is about to begin, and I am honored to introduce two saints. May the saints' sacred lives be boundless!"

  He carefully sized him up, and his appearance was elegant and refined, with a cultivation that had reached the realm of a Mysterious Immortal. His innate talent wasn't particularly exceptional, but he had managed to walk through the Red Dust Golden Bridge, which showed that his mental state had already reached perfection. This made him suitable to inherit the Buddhist school's ultimate teachings.

  The pharmacist inherits the clothes and broom of Yīn Qián, but the pharmacist also walks a similar path to Yīn Qián. Practicing Sān Shī Dà Dao and Buddhist Dharma together is a great way to inherit one's own Buddhist ultimate teachings.

  Jie Yin looked around and got up to support Da Shi.

  "I had said earlier that anyone who can pass the trials of the Red Dust Golden Bridge can enter my Buddhist sect. I wonder if you are willing to take me as your master?" Da Shizhi thought there would be more trials, but unexpectedly, Jie Yin agreed so readily, and hastily kowtowed again.

  "Pay respects to the benevolent teacher!" He performed the courtesy of visiting a respected teacher. "Go again to pay respects to your master's uncle." Da Shizhi followed his words and gave an accurate explanation, after which he took a look around and saw that there was nothing else to do, so he instructed:

  "Pharmacist, you first get acquainted with your junior brother, then go and arrange his accommodation, and also guide him more on the matter of cultivation."

  The pharmacist was overjoyed when he saw his teacher and accepted another disciple, and naturally led the way to arrange things below.

  A few more days passed, and two more monks crossed the Red Dust Golden Bridge. They were Daylight and Moonlight, born with the first ray of sunlight and moonlight at the beginning of heaven. Their talents were also extraordinary. They were accepted as disciples by Zhunti. Looking ahead, many powerful figures in Buddhism had gathered, and the framework was basically established. However, to achieve great development, they still needed to remove the obstacle of the demon tribe.

  After being defeated at West Kunlun, Emperor Jun and Taiyi became extremely violent, often scolding their subordinates. Even Kunpeng couldn't please them. When Kunpeng saw that Emperor Jun and Taiyi were afraid of the saint, he didn't want to confront the saint with them either. So he hid on the planet Taoyin, which had been empty since Xihe's marriage. It was just right for Kunpeng to build a palace of magic here and live in seclusion from then on.

  Haitang Laozu also felt that Emperor Jun and Taiyi were too overbearing, so he voluntarily asked to move to the East Sea to intimidate the four seas dragon tribe for the demon tribe. Emperor Jun knew Haitang's plan and didn't want to quarrel with him either, so he agreed. Haitang Laozu found an island in the East Sea, which was Jintan Island. He settled down on this island, but it was precisely because of his choice that he added endless trouble for Haitang Laozu later on.

  Di Jun and Tai Yi deliberated day and night, as all the saints came out, Di Jun became more and more uneasy. The fortune of the human race rose greatly, and correspondingly, the fortune of the demon race declined. If this continued, the demon race would be a case of extreme prosperity and decline. There was not much left on the road for Di Jun and the demon race.

  It's either waiting for death or making a desperate move, the nature of Emperor Jun and Taiyi has determined that these two will not wait for the demon clan to weaken, there is only one way to take risks.

  Emperor Jun raised the flag to recruit demons, and for a time, all the demon tribes in the world were shocked, thinking that something big was coming. Emperor Jun gathered the ten great demon gods, a group of demon tribe backbone forces, even Kunpeng and Fuxi came, Fuxi now represents Nuwa to some extent, of course, Fuxi still has considerable feelings for the demon tribe.

  "My demonic clan has been established to this day, governing the vast expanse of heaven and earth, maintaining the order of the world, with countless merits. Now, there is a witch tribe that resists the heavenly will, repeatedly attacking my demonic cultivators. Our tolerance and magnanimity have instead led them to think we are weak and can be bullied. Is this tolerable? I have decided to launch a campaign against the witch tribe from today, and I will not return until victory."

  Emperor Jun's words were eloquent and stirring, and many demons and gods who were dissatisfied with the Wu tribe were delighted to see their wishes fulfilled. They all cheered for Emperor Jun's wisdom in destroying the Wu tribe. Emperor Jun was overjoyed by the reaction of the crowd, as if he had regained his sense of dominance and control over life and death. After being defeated by Xiang Liu, Emperor Jun's kingly aura had been somewhat shaken, but now it seemed to be restored, filling him with a sense of excitement and ambition.

  Fuxi and Kunpeng both had a hint of worry on their faces. Kunpeng knew that now that the Five Saints were all out, the demon tribe could no longer act recklessly. Even before they became saints, they could already resist the demon tribe, and now they probably wouldn't even consider the demon tribe to be in their sights. The other three Qing would likely be even more difficult to deal with. Thinking about conquering the Wu tribe, would the Saints intervene? Thinking of this, Kunpeng hesitated.

  Fuxi had heard about the extraordinary abilities of the Wu tribe from Nüwa, and knew that the twelve great ancestors of the Wu tribe were exceptionally powerful, with astonishing magical powers. Therefore, he was not very confident that the demon tribe could win, and was somewhat worried. However, seeing that the morale of the demon tribe was high at this time, it was also not good to speak out and affect their morale.

  Let's talk about the Wu tribe again. Since the day they received the visit, the Wu tribe has been extremely concerned about the movements of the Yao tribe. Zu Wu has been diligently practicing the Tian Shen Sha Da Array, and other Wu tribes have also been training in various battle arrays, resulting in a significant increase in their strength. The problem that has been troubling the Wu tribe is the issue of numbers. The Wu tribe relies on refined blood to reproduce, but the number of Pangu refined blood is limited, making it difficult for the Wu tribe to make any major progress. Therefore, Emperor Jiang has also endured and not launched an attack on the Yao tribe.

  Since collaborating with the human tribe, the number of witches has been steadily increasing. Although their bloodline is not pure and it's hard to produce a powerful witch clan, they are sufficient as cannon fodder. Therefore, Emperor Jiang's ambition surged, and the twelve great ancestral witches rubbed their fists in preparation to replace the demon tribe and become the masters of the vast wilderness.

  At this moment, a wizard reported that the demon tribe had arrived to kill them.

  "Big brother, Di Jun and Tai Yi these two flat-haired beasts, didn't wait for us to find him, he actually came looking for trouble with us first. Today we'll teach him a good lesson, let him know the ferocity of my Zhu Rong fist." The speaker was Zu Wu Zhu Rong, the other Zu Wu were also rubbing their fists and itching for action.

  "By the Emperor's order, 'Men, take up your arms and let us go play with these beastly demons.' With one command, the multitude of sorcerers formed a battle array, with the twelve great ancestral sorcerers at the forefront, leading the tribe in waiting for Di Jun to make his move."

  Before long, the sky was almost covered with dark clouds, and it was the arrival of the demon tribe's large army. The cloud head descended, Emperor Jun led the way, and Taiyi followed closely behind.

  "Di Jun Tai Yi, why have you trespassed on our Witch clan's territory? Do you still look down on my Witch clan?" Emperor Jiang asked sternly.

  "A joke, the vast expanse of heaven and earth is under my demon clan's jurisdiction, where is the witch clan's territory? I'd like to ask you instead, why didn't you take my demon clan seriously and killed several of our demon gods?" Emperor Jun was also blunt, coming straight up to demand an explanation.

  On this side, Gonggong and Zhu Rong, two ancestral witches, stepped forward.

  "What's the point of talking to these two beasts, just kill them and be done with it."

  Two ancestral witches suddenly appeared beside Emperor Jun, and Taiyi saw someone sneak up on his brother and rushed forward. Zhu Rong's huge fist hit Taiyi's fist, but Taiyi didn't use the Donghuang Bell and instead relied solely on physical strength to fight against the ancestral witch, which was extremely foolish. Taiyi felt like half of his body was out of control, flying backward a great distance before barely managing to stand up again.

  Di Jun barely dodged Gonggong's old fist, his heart extremely shocked. He didn't expect the physical body of the Xiwu tribe to be so difficult to deal with. Di Jun also became more cautious, fearing that the Xiwu tribe might be even harder to deal with than he had imagined.

  Di Jun sacrifices the He Tu and Luo Shu, Tai Yi also sacrifices the Dong Huang Bell, not daring to be careless, treating it with sincerity.
