Chapter 461: The Great Calamity of the End of Dharma and World Extinction

Although Xu Jia had subdued Deng Yin and taught him the Great Dharma of using magic to control magic, using Buddhism to save magic, and making vows to maintain the heart, to outsiders, Deng Yin had simply lost all his Dharma Power and gained an extra "magic artifact."

Whether it is practicing magic arts or using magic artifacts, both are despised by those of the righteous path.

In short, they found an excuse, and Qingcheng Mountain released harsh words: "Although Deng Yin has now entered the Huashan sect, the karmic debts he incurred in the past cannot be simply wiped clean."

Xu Jia said: "Cannot be wiped clean, and what do you propose?"

Although Xu Jia had encountered an Immortal Truth and received teachings while at Qingcheng Mountain, and held respect for Qingcheng Mountain, but... who do you think you are? You dare to come and find trouble with someone I, this Ancestor, am protecting? If I cannot even protect my own person, wouldn't that be a slap to my face?

Deng Yin, however, said: "Master, this matter was my doing, and I have much guilt in my heart." He said earnestly: "Fellow Daoists of Qingcheng Mountain, one day I will go up the mountain myself to accept punishment, and the Sword Pavilion as well."

"What use is that? Now the Mo Ku is connected to the Qingcheng Dongtian, stealing the Qingcheng Spirit Machine. With the Qingcheng Spirit Machine gone, the Dongtian is shrinking day by day, even collapsing. Many of our Qingcheng elders have fought the demons within the Mo Ku and have perished."

"A Mo Ku has appeared in Qingcheng Mountain too?" Deng Yin was surprised: "What does that Mo Ku look like?"

"You are hypocritically concerned about this now."

Xu Jia was also puzzled upon hearing this, so he immediately performed a calculation and discovered that this world was already nearing the End of Dharma Era; what is happening now is merely the final flash of light before the end. When the End of Dharma Era arrives, the demonic path will prevail, eventually leading to the total extinction of the Dharma... which is that dark age of the future...

All those who ascended, although they all planned to abandon the ship and escape, were still worried about their sect's disciples. Therefore, they had the technique of sealing the Dongtian, intercepting the last trace of Spirit Machine in the world, and before the Great Calamity began, they sealed the mountains and closed the caves, waiting for a chance of survival.

It is precisely by this means that the Shushan Sect has been frantically excavating the opportunities left by their predecessors, creating the appearance of Shushan's great prosperity...

Xu Jia secretly thought: "According to the records of the Yellow Heaven lineage, this world had already reached the extinction of the Dharma many years ago. It was the Huanglian Holy Mother who descended to save the world and reshape its prosperity. After the Holy Mother saved the world, Zhang Jiao descended to preach and established the Yellow Heaven Sect. Later, the Great Heng Dynasty was built, widely conferring titles upon deities everywhere and organizing the Spirit Machine, claiming that every mountain had a god and every water had a dragon."

It is precisely because of the governance of the Divine Path that this world was able to be closest to the Form Realm among the six heavens of the Desire Realm, with faint signs of ascending in dimension.

Then the war between Immortals and Gods broke out. The critical turning point was roughly during the "Qin and Han" era, with the rise of the worship of Dong Wanggong and Xi Wangmu, which was the time when the Immortal path flourished.

In this world, Qin Shi Huang was the Ancestral Dragon, truly possessing the strange phenomenon of a human body and dragon head, and the entire dynasty ascended...

From then on, the path of the Five Emperors Rotation began.

Before the Great Qin, the Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period existed, but what followed was the lineage of the "Great Heng Dynasty," while the earlier Shang Dynasty belonged to the blurred...

Just like this, it maintained the prosperity of the Immortal path for nearly two thousand years, exhausting the foundation of the six hundred years of Divine Path governance of the Great Heng Dynasty, and once again irredeemably walked into the era of the "End of Dharma and World Extinction."

Xu Jia sighed, "killing the donkey after the millstone is used" is indeed human nature. This world was saved by the Divine Path, yet it chose self-destruction again. Did even the Heavenly Dao of this world choose the Immortal path? Is it because the Divine Path is an external force?

He also secretly thought: "The Immortal Truths of this world, although they have Dharma Power, all started as martial artists. Presumably, the style of killing one's entire family over a disagreement was inherited this way. Both the demonic path and the righteous path are not very dignified; they rarely study profound principles, and instead pursue great Divine Abilities and sharp flying swords."

Xu Jia thought that the closer one is to the Form Realm, the more it should be under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, and the civilization and order should be much higher. Now it seems that it is only the power level that is like this; if one really discusses civilization, it may not even be as high as America. "Qingcheng Dongtian? It just so happens that I, this Ancestor, have a connection with Qingcheng, and I also want to see what kind of Mo Ku it is. Can it be curbed?"

The people from Qingcheng Mountain instantly stopped talking. They only wanted to take advantage of the fact that Deng Yin had lost all his cultivation and Dharma Power, but they did not want to invite this great Buddha, Xu Jia, back.

"I have heard that the Shu region is heavy with demons, and it is only because Xu Zhangshou sits in command that it is a piece of pure land. Anyway, I will go to the Shushan Sect sooner or later, so going to your Qingcheng Mountain is just a matter of convenience."

Xu Jia added: "Which other sect or faction wants to settle old scores with my disciple Deng Yin? This Daoist is ready! You might as well speak them out one by one."

Deng Yin was moved; he had never experienced this feeling of being protected before. Even for a minor matter, Xu Zhangshou would use him as an example to show the sect leader's impartiality, saying, "I am so strict even with my own junior brother, so others have nothing to say."

Since Xu Jia had said so, naturally no one dared to have any objections. In fact, many felt that this Ancestor was too domineering. Having such a protective Ancestor while walking in the Jianghu was no less than having an imperial decree on one's person.

Seeing no objections, Xu Jia said: "Since there are no objections now, if anyone brings up old scores in the future and talks about this matter, then it will not be my Huashan's fault. Since this matter has been turned over, let us enter the next process. Huo Can'er, you preside over it!"

After saying this, Xu Jia focused his mind and began to deduce the Great Calamity of the End of Dharma and World Extinction to see what exactly it was.

Huo Can'er smiled and said: "Today our Huashan reopens its gates. Regardless of everything, those who come are guests. If you have arrived and I have failed to make you feel at home, it is my Huashan's poor hospitality. Please forgive me."

"No need, our Shushan Sect will not stay."

"The Sword Pavilion will not stay either!"

"The Tang Sect bids farewell!"

"The Qingcheng Sect awaits respectfully!"

………

After those who intended to cause trouble left, the number of people on Jade Maiden Peak became sparse, and for a moment, it was a bit awkward.

Only the Hengshan Sect, the Hengshan Sect, and the righteous path of Louguantai remained; the others all found an excuse to leave. Huashan had produced such a thing, and they could not afford to offend it. Could they afford to offend Shushan? Better not get involved in the matters within.

The Hengshan Sect was interested in the "Wuyue Alliance" proposed by Xu Jia, while the group of nuns from the Hengshan Sect were simply curious about how Xu Jia knew the true essence of Buddhism, could force out the Asura Demon Seed, and teach Deng Yin the Nagarjuna Buddhist Dharma of the Padmasambhava lineage.

Louguantai was even more straightforward. They were already withered, and their mountain gate had been occupied by the Quanzhen Dao. They were not afraid of Shushan. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, because of the Huang Chao Rebellion, their lineage was almost destroyed. Being able to continue to this day, with only two or three people, as long as the lineage could preserve a bit of essence and have one or two True Transmission Disciples, they could pray to Taishang Laojun. Why would they fear Shushan?

Moreover, compared to Shushan, Xu Jia's style of conduct was more to their taste. Most importantly, Duan Ziyu wrote to tell them that Xu Jia had the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique in his hands, and the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique had already been lost by Louguantai. Now their sword technique was the Green Lotus Sword Formula left by Li Bai. Li Bai was also a Taoist from Louguantai. He was honored as the Green Lotus Sword Immortal, and the Green Lotus Sword Formula was naturally excellent. Most importantly, Li Bai left behind many poems, and the sword formula was hidden in the poems, passed down through the ages without being lost.
