Chapter 220: The Yao clan grieves, the Wu clan rejoices, and Yuan Shi is jealous!

Spreading the Dao and transmitting the Dharma!

Chen Ku truly awakened the dreamers with a single word.

Exactly!

The cultivation of Western beings has been lacking for ages.

Now, with the recovery of spirit veins and earth veins, and the growth of various spiritual roots and immortal fruits, a great deal of spiritual energy has also been restored.

However, most Western beings have still never heard the true subtleties of the Dao.

Jieyin and Zhunti, being saints, would find it too profound for weakly cultivated beings if they personally preached.

Assigning this responsibility to Hong Yun is just perfect.

"Hehe, wonderful."

"What the disciple said is absolutely correct; we Western beings indeed need proper orthodox instruction."

Jieyin said so, and his gaze toward Chen Ku grew even more gratified.

Just as his words fell,

Zhunti also smiled and nodded, agreeing:

"Not bad!"

"Moreover, because our Western beings are still barbaric, if they could receive the supreme Dao, they would surely generate even more merit than the Eastern world."

Both being saints, they instantly realized its importance.

Hong Yun was already overjoyed, unable to contain himself.

"Haha, I thank Daoist Chen Ku for his guidance."

He solemnly clasped his hands in salute.

This amounted to Chen Ku pointing out a path to prove the Dao for himself.

Such a great opportunity naturally deserves Hong Yun's gratitude.

Just then, Zhen Yuanzi also spoke softly.

"Since that is the case, I might as well join in and preach to all beings together with you all."

Zhen Yuanzi simply had nothing else to do.

Moreover, this would help accumulate merit, so he was naturally inclined.

As for this, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Chen Ku were naturally pleased and immediately nodded.

"Then let's set it for a thousand years from now!"

"We will now announce this to all beings, so that countless beings may prepare early and come here to hear the Great Dao."

Chen Ku spoke again.

Although he is a Buddhist disciple, before his own master and grandmaster he also feels the power of a single word to decide heaven and earth.

It can be said that although Chen Ku is a junior, he has already reached a status equal to that of Zhen Yuanzi, Hong Yun, and others, even faintly surpassing them.

Regarding his decision, everyone present nodded in approval without hesitation.

Afterward, several people spoke up.

"We, Jieyin and Zhunti, now by the command of the saints, announce to all beings of heaven and earth."

"Now that Daoist Hong Yun has entered our Buddhist gate, it is a fortune for the West."

"Therefore, we two saints, together with Zhen Yuanzi, Daoist Hong Yun, and my disciple Chen Ku, will open a lecture on the Great Dao at Mount Sumeru a thousand years from now."

"At that time, all beings in the world may come to listen, and those with affinity may also enter our Buddhist gate."

Their words rumbled like rolling thunder, echoing through the nine heavens and ten earths, stirring the ten directions of the universe.

In their words, one could also say they gave Hong Yun full face.

Upon hearing this, the vast heavens and earth suddenly boiled into a great clamor.

"Hiss... the two saints, plus Senior Chen Ku, Zhen Yuanzi, and Elder Hong Yun, etc.?"

"These... these... are all top-tier existences of the present age."

"The lecture a thousand years from now is a great fortune and opportunity for us; we must not miss it."

"Haha, a lecture of this scale is truly unprecedented in myriad ages."

Without a doubt.

At this moment, countless beings in heaven and earth were immensely excited, their faces fervent.

To them, this is simply a tremendous blessing.

Jieyin and Zhunti need say no more; as saints, their cultivation is supreme.

Chen Ku and Zhen Yuanzi are also top-tier great powers, especially the former, whose reputation in the West is even greater.

When Chen Ku earlier taught the Six-Character True Words and the Six Divine Abilities, etc., countless Western beings still remember them vividly.

As for Hong Yun... although he may not now be considered extraordinarily shocking, in the eyes of beings he is undoubtedly a future saint, naturally making him extraordinary.

It is hard to imagine so many powerful beings joining forces to jointly preach and transmit the Dharma to Western beings.

If one is fortunate enough to hear it, it will surely be an ultimate gain.

Therefore, although Chen Ku and the others set it for a thousand years later,

but as the words fell, countless figures in heaven and earth immediately set off, a vast crowd heading toward Mount Sumeru, or rather the direction of the Western heavens and earth.

At the same time, countless great powers likewise raised their brows, feeling greatly shocked and surprised.

"Huh? Has Elder Hong Yun joined the Western Buddhist gate?"

"Hmm... this is unexpected, yet still reasonable."

"Exactly, if not for the assistance of Western Chen Ku earlier, Hong Yun would likely have died resentfully, his body and Dao extinguished."

"Hehe, that Hong Yun is also wise; by joining the Buddhist gate and receiving the saints' protection, he can thereafter be safe and sound."

For top-tier experts, the news of Hongyun joining the Buddhist sect was obviously more moving than the so-called preaching of the Dao.

They also immediately understood Hongyun's meaning.

Both to repay Chen Ku's earlier life-saving kindness and to find for themselves an even more astonishing backer.

From then on, not to mention the members of the Demon Court.

In the world, all beings who coveted the Primordial Purple Qi had to weigh whether they dared to provoke the Western Buddhist sect.

Throughout the world, discussions ran rampant, and all living beings found it hard to stay calm.

And at this moment, outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, within the Heavenly Court.

The Demon Court's powerhouses all had faces ashen, nearly driven mad with rage.

"Damn it, damn it!"

"We never got hold of the Primordial Purple Qi, and instead we pushed that Hongyun into the Western Buddhist sect."

"That Chen Ku truly deserves to die."

Di Jun's expression turned ferocious, his teeth almost grinding to pieces, and he nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

A crushing defeat!

For the Demon Court, this was undoubtedly an unprecedented crushing defeat.

They failed to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi they had expected, instead inflicting heavy losses on the Demon Court, with all the top-tier powerhouses covered in wounds and their vital energy greatly damaged.

Moreover, what made Di Jun and Taiyi feel the pain even more was.

In the world, many territories that originally belonged to the Demon Race have now been occupied by the Wu Clan.

It can even be said that fortunately they returned in time earlier.

Otherwise, perhaps even this entire Heavenly Court would be seized by the twelve Wu ancestors.

How could all these losses be summed up by a single word "tragic"?

Di Jun was practically going mad; his former dignified and imposing appearance was gone, his hair flying wildly, his gaze sinister, truly terrifying, making anyone who looked feel a chill.

Not only that.

As Di Jun's words fell, Taiyi beside him also spoke in a low voice.

"The reputation of our Demon Court has also suffered a great blow."

"In the hearts of all beings, how could they not despise us?"

"Even our fortune is not as prosperous as before......"

Taiyi's words were full of a feeling of regretful sighing.

This is extremely rare for Taiyi, who is usually decisive in battle and revered as the war god of the Demon Race.

What he said was also true.

After all, the Demon Court had previously invited experts from all over the world under the pretense of celebrating the birth of the ten golden crows.

And now all beings likewise suddenly realized that it was all just a huge conspiracy.

From now on, who would still dare to trust the words of the Demon Court's people?!

This was indeed a considerable blow to the Demon Court's fortune.

Gloomy clouds of sorrow!

A pall of gloom hangs over!

Below, Fuxi, Kunpeng, and the ten great demon sages, among others, all had faces as still as water, silent, presenting a picture of dejection.

After a long while, Di Jun finally spoke again, unable to contain his anger.

"The West, the Wu Clan......."

"One day, I will make you pay a price ten million times over."

As Di Jun's muttering faded, a bone-chilling icy aura also began to spread within the Demon Court.

Unlike the atmosphere of gloomy sorrow within the Demon Court,

At the foot of Mount Buzhou, within the Wu Clan, only a faction now exulted, their joy spreading wildly.

"Hahaha, how satisfying, truly satisfying!"

"With this emergence, most of the primordial wilderness now falls under the command of our Wu Clan."

"Those demon race beings have been slaughtered by us until they flee with their heads in their hands."

"Hmph, let's see if they dare to flaunt their might in the future."

Di Jiang laughed loudly, bold and unrestrained, his eyes brimming with an unreserved heroic mirth.

These several waves of "taking advantage of a vacuum" have greatly strengthened the Wu Clan, reaching an unprecedented peak of prosperity.

As for this gain, Di Jiang also felt greatly satisfied.

As the words fell, Zhu Jiuyin spoke up in agreement.

"Not bad, the divine might of our Wu Clan shakes the nine heavens and ten earths."

"This time, it truly manifests the majesty of the orthodox transmission of our father god."

Zhu Jiuyin wore a look of arrogant pride, mouth venerating the great god Pangu.

For them, to manifest the orthodox name of Pangu is something even more worthy of pride.

However, Zhurong beside them muttered angrily in a low voice.

"What a pity......"

"Just one step away; if we had occupied that Heavenly Court, it would have been the true unification of the primordial wilderness."

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly startled.

"Alright!"

This fire ancestor Wu of ours truly has a temperament as violent as fire, even to the point of being frenzied.

However, what he said also made everyone nod in agreement.

Only by completely unifying the Primordial Chaos would that be their ultimate goal.

After a moment, Hou Tu chuckled and spoke:

"Hehe, Brother Zhu Rong, we need not rush."

"Now, most of Heaven and Earth is in our hands, and we have accumulated countless cultivation resources."

"Once we have fully digested those resources, the Wu Clan will certainly be able to rise another level."

"By then, unifying the Primordial Chaos will be a piece of cake."

Hou Tu's few words were calm and unruffled.

But everyone's expressions were excited, their eyes blazing, as if they already foresaw the scene of the Wu Clan supreme above all, revered by all beings.

Thereafter, no more words were spoken; within the vast Wu Clan, everyone once again immersed themselves in cultivation.

In Kunlun Mountain.

Although the great battle had ended, the Three Pure Ones' gazes were deep, they stared blankly, still unable to regain their composure.

"I never expected... that kid actually pulled it off."

"With his own strength, he turned the tide of the entire battle."

"This feat, among the younger generation, is likely unprecedented and unmatched."

Laozi appeared calm on the surface, but his heart had already been churned by stormy waves.

His tone also carried an undisguised sense of awe.

Yuanshi likewise opened his mouth to sigh:

"This... I truly don't know whether to say Chen Ku is too strong, or that the Demon Court's folk are too useless."

To the Three Pure Ones, the outcome of that previous battle was not important.

What astonished them was Chen Ku's formidable strength, which could be described as shocking to the world.

Just before this, the Three Pure Ones naturally assumed Chen Ku would surely die.

His actions could be said to have slapped the Three Pure Ones in the face.

Tongtian glanced toward the Demon Court's direction, then looked toward where Mount Buzhou lay.

"After this, the Demon Race suffered heavy losses, while the Wu Clan grew ever stronger."

"The situation of Heaven and Earth will also undergo drastic change."

Not bad!

What the sages care about is the change in the overall situation of Heaven and Earth.

But upon hearing this, Yuanshi spoke with a deep meaning:

"How the situation stands will naturally not affect us."

"But... for now, the West is even more prominent."

"In secret, it seems they are about to overwhelm even us Three Pure Ones."

"Hmph, I never thought the once desolate and impoverished West could also have such an opportunity?!"

Yuanshi gave a cold snort.

Laozi and Tongtian could naturally hear the sourness in it.

It is undeniable; seeing the West so flourishing, like the sun at high noon.

Yuanshi's heart also involuntarily gave rise to a deep sense of jealousy.

After pondering a moment, Laozi nodded.

"Not bad!"

"We Three Pure Ones should also scheme a bit to boost our reputation."

"No matter what, we must not fall behind the West."

Laozi appeared to have no desires, to be indifferent and inactive.

But in fact, having been preempted in attaining the Dao and becoming a sage by Jieyin and Zhunti, Laozi's heart had already accumulated vast resentment and stagnation.

Now that several have become sages, could it be that the prestige of the Three Pure Ones is still to be suppressed by Jieyin and Zhunti?!

How could the Three Pure Ones accept that?!

Laozi also could not hide his competitive, victorious spirit.

But, though that is the case,

but as Laozi's words fell, the three of them once again sank into silence.

How could raising the reputation of the Three Pure Ones be so simple?!

Could it be that the Three Pure Ones, like Chen Ku, would meddle in all kinds of worldly conflicts?

That is naturally impossible.

First, sages are supreme; if they rashly intervene in other worldly affairs, they will inevitably accrue immeasurable karma, which is detrimental to themselves.

Second, the Three Pure Ones, already exalted as sages, naturally cannot be compared with Chen Ku.

If they were to personally take the field, where would the dignity of the sages be?!

After a moment, Tongtian's eyes suddenly lit up.

"If we want to boost our reputation, we too can take disciples and teach the masses."

Upon these words, Laozi and Yuanshi's faces immediately changed.

That's right!

"The Western Buddhist Sect can take disciples; why can't we?"

The Three Pure Ones certainly possess such qualification.

More importantly, if we three could take on a disciple like Chen Ku, astonishingly talented and extraordinarily beautiful.

Given time, it would surely enable the Three Pure Ones to accumulate a towering reputation, allowing them to measure up against Chen Ku.

In just a moment, Laozi and Yuanshi nodded repeatedly, expressing deep agreement.

"What the third brother said is correct!"

"When we first attained the Dao, we already established the Dao lineage; taking disciples is therefore all the more proper and justified."

Laozi said as such.

The three exchanged a glance and immediately made a decision.

Let's just do it!
