Chapter 839: The Western Sect is Renamed

One hour later.

Yin Qi quietly opened a tiny gap in his Inner Heaven and Earth. After sensing that Laozi had already left, he quickly exited the Inner Heaven and Earth, stepped into the void, and returned to Zhaoge.

From leaving to returning, it had only been a little over an hour.

Yet the harvest was an Innate Supreme Treasure.

……

As the sun set and rose, under the eager anticipation of all living beings in the Primordial Continent, the time finally arrived for the second day.

With the rising of the morning sun, the Saint livestream finally began.

Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren were in the same frame.

As the livestream started, countless people flooded into the livestream room.

In less than a minute, the number of viewers exceeded 300 billion, and this number was still surging.

It was only because the 'Heavenly Dao Server' had powerful functions; otherwise, the network would have collapsed directly.

Semi-transparent bullet comments flooded the screen:

"This is Saint Jieyin and Saint Zhunti! They truly possess an immortal demeanor and outstanding temperament, making one involuntarily want to worship them."

"The Heavenly Dao is above; I never thought that I, a humble Daoist, would have the opportunity to behold the Saintly countenance."

"Saint, I wish to join the Western Sect; what should I do?"

"A Saint livestreaming to preach the Dao—this is the honor and fortune of us ants, something hard to seek in ten thousand years."

……

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, as well as Great Powers of the Primordial Continent such as Zhenyuanzi, the Queen Mother of the West, and Fuxi, had all entered the livestream room.

Looking at the online viewer count that had already soared to 10 trillion, all the Saints fell silent.

They had been preaching the Dao for many years, and even at their peak, the number of listeners was only a few million, and they were basically all cultivators around their Daoist fields, which was too limited.

It was nothing like the Douyin livestream, where not only did the number reach 10 trillion, but these people were spread across every corner of the Primordial Continent.

The influence of the two simply could not be compared.

It was not just the Saints; Great Powers like Zhenyuanzi were also extremely envious.

As long as one practices Daoism, there is no one who does not need luck.

In fact, whether it was Zhenyuanzi, the Queen Mother of the West, or Kunpeng, they had all created sects, and in the Primordial Continent, they were also first-class forces second only to the various sects of the Saints.

They also hoped that their own Daoist traditions could spread throughout the Primordial Continent.

Because a Daoist tradition represents luck.

They did not need to challenge the Saints, and the Saints would not interfere with their proselytizing.

The Saints could eat the meat, and they would be content with drinking the soup.

It was just that previously, limited by their methods, the effectiveness of their preaching was not very good.

But now, they saw new hope.

……

The Heavenly Dao Network only covered the Primordial Continent and the oceans, but the proclamations of Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren had already resonated throughout the entire Primordial Continent yesterday. Therefore, Great Powers like Houtu and Haotian, out of curiosity, had all dispatched clones to rush to the Primordial Continent.

At this moment, they had also entered the livestream room.

"Heavenly Dao Network? Was this created by the Saints, or did it exist naturally?"

"Why does the Heavenly Dao Network only cover the Primordial Continent and the oceans? Otherwise, I would really want to introduce the Mobile Phone to the Immortal World."

"Mobile Phone? I only took a nap, and I didn't expect the Primordial Continent to have changed so much. The Yang who pioneered the method of Refining Mobile Phones was truly a heaven-sent talent; it is just a pity that they have already died and their Dao has dissipated."

"Great Shang Celestial Dynasty? The Human Race is truly resilient; after several purges, they actually have a trend of rising again. It is just a pity that my Demon Race withdrew from the Primordial Continent; otherwise, how would they have had the chance to rise?"

……

The Great Powers were secretly amazed.

Regarding the so-called Heavenly Dao Network, they were more inclined to believe that it existed naturally and was just discovered by Yang.

If it had been created by the Saints, then the inventors of the Mobile Phone would be the Saints.

It was just a pity that the Heavenly Dao Network only covered the Primordial Continent and the Four Seas. They were even secretly calculating whether they could connect the Heavenly Dao Network to their respective Daoist fields, or even simply create a network of their own.

……

Primordial West. Lingshan.

Watching the leap-frogging rise in the number of online viewers, Zhunti Daoren was both surprised and delighted.

Livestreaming to preach the Dao—the path was indeed the right one.

But amidst the surprise and joy, he secretly felt regret; it was a pity that Yang had been beheaded by Guangchengzi.

Otherwise, with that person's resourcefulness, they would certainly have been able to lead the Western Sect—no, Buddhism—to an unprecedented peak.

With the support of two Saints, himself and his senior brother, which force in the Primordial Continent could compare?

Zhunti Daoren was all smiles, no longer possessing the misery of the past. He turned his head to look at Jieyin Daoren and said, "Senior brother, the time is almost here; you should be the one to announce it."

"Good!"

Jieyin Daoren nodded. His expression was solemn, and his voice was mellow and melodious, as if the sound of the Heavenly Dao were vibrating: "I, Jieyin, feeling that it is not easy for all living beings to practice, have therefore founded the Western Sect with my junior brother Zhunti."

Practice my Western method, and you shall not enter reincarnation.

Practice my Western method, and you may attain supreme bliss.

Please... you.... bookmark_(!)

Practice my Western method, and you may become a Buddha of the present age.

However, the 'West' in the Western Sect is limited only to the Primordial West, which goes against the original intention of my junior brother and me. Therefore, after discussion between my junior brother and me, we have decided to rename the Western Sect to Buddhism, and hereby announce it.

Fo, the foundation of the Western Sect's doctrine.

Renaming it to Buddhism better embodies the true meaning of the Daoist tradition of my junior brother Zhunti and me, just like the two characters 'Chan' and 'Jie'.

"At the same time, it will no longer be limited to the Primordial West, but for all living beings in Honghuang, regardless of region or race, all may cultivate the methods of my Buddhism, avoid falling into reincarnation, and ascend to Ultimate Bliss early."

After saying this, Jieyin Daoren paused.

The livestream room was silent.

A moment later, countless comments flooded the screen frantically:

"Renaming it to Buddhism, why so sudden?"

"Support the Saint; the Saint has compassion for all living beings, it should indeed be regardless of east, west, south, or north."

"Buddhism sounds better than the Western Sect."

In the Saint's livestream room, no one dared to dissent; it was uniformly filled with all kinds of flattery.

"Buddhism?"

The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Houtu, and others secretly frowned.

The renaming of the Western Sect was not just a name change; at a deeper level, it was the ambition of Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren, which was no longer limited to the West, but the entire Honghuang.

This also meant that Buddhism would certainly spread to the East, and even up to Heaven (Immortal World, Outer Starry Sky) and down to the Earth (Underworld).

This would all lead to conflict with them.

Invisibly, they all felt the pressure.

In fact, Nuwa and Houtu were fine, because the Heavenly Dao Network did not cover the Outer Starry Sky, the Witch God Realm, and the Underworld, so they did not need to worry about the Witch and Demon races being bewitched by Buddhist doctrines.

But the Three Pure Ones were different; they would bear the most direct pressure from the eastward spread of Buddhism.

It would have been fine if it were before.

The Three Pure Ones were one entity, and they were completely unafraid of Buddhism.

But because of the Fengshen War, the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect had already gone to full-scale war, and Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu were only a step away from tearing off their masks and attacking directly, making it impossible to join forces to resist the eastward spread of Buddhism.

They might even have to make compromises to avoid pushing the Western Two Sages toward the other side.

After a pause, Jieyin Daoren continued: "Next, my junior brother and I will preach the Dao for three years, starting at the hour of the Dragon (7-9 AM) and ending at the hour of the Monkey (3-5 PM) every day, and we will focus on explaining the cultivation methods below the Immortal Dao.

I hope that all living beings in Honghuang can become immortals soon and escape the suffering of reincarnation.

If the effect of the livestream preaching is good, we will continue to explain the cultivation methods above the Immortal Dao.

Well, back to the main topic.

What is a Fo?

A Fo is one who is awakened; self-awakened, awakening others, and having perfect awakened conduct..." (End of this chapter)
