Chapter 892: Randeng Intends to Betray the Sect

Chaos Beyond the Heavens.

Shangqing Heaven.

"Good, good!"

Tongtian Jiaozhu was still laughing heartily.

Di Qi was indeed the Human Emperor he favored; his methods were truly ruthless.

It was a pity, though.

A pity that he could not see Yuanshi Tianzun losing his mind.

……

Jiugong Mountain.

Baihe Cave.

The dojo of Puxian Zhenren.

Randeng Daoren, Puxian Zhenren, Cihang Daoren, Juliusun, and Manjusri were secretly gathered together.

Ever since Jieyin and Zhunti live-streamed their preaching, they had been secretly practicing Buddhist techniques, and to their surprise, they discovered that after merging the essence of both the Dao and Buddhism, their cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds.

Puxian, Cihang, and the other two had already reached the Golden Immortal Peak, and even felt that the Great Luo was within reach.

Randeng Daoren likewise saw hope for becoming a Quasi-Saint.

Because they all practiced Buddhist techniques, they naturally found common ground in their daily conversations, and gradually discovering they were like-minded, they formed a small group.

Randeng Daoren said in a deep voice: "The four of you, if you wish to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal, I fear you will need to practice more profound Buddhist techniques, and the same goes for me.

Therefore, continuing to stay in the Chan Sect no longer has any meaning for us.

I do not know what you think, but I have already decided to head to Western Spirit Mountain and convert to Buddhism."

He had long been disappointed in Yuanshi Tianzun, even harboring hatred.

Since he did not want to help him achieve the status of a Quasi-Saint, why did he always keep him hanging and order him around at every turn?

It was precisely because of this resentment that he wanted to take revenge on Yuanshi Tianzun.

Puxian and the others were usually on good terms with him, so he secretly guided them to practice Buddhist techniques, never expecting that they would be so suited to the Dharma, and their cultivation advanced rapidly as a result.

Now that even that little wretch Jiang Ziya dared to defect, why couldn't they?

Four of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect had already died.

If he were to take away another four, then the so-called Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect would exist in name only.

Upon hearing this, Puxian and the others were secretly tempted.

But betraying the sect.

They were truly afraid.

Yet if they did not betray the sect, they could not learn profound Buddhist techniques, and they feared they would have no chance at the Great Luo.

As members of the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect, valued by Yuanshi Tianzun, both their innate talent and comprehension were at the King-Grade Immortal Bone level, with hopes of reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

But having hope did not mean they could achieve the Great Luo.

This required opportunity.

And it would take a massive opportunity to make it possible.

Cihang Daoren said faintly: "Teacher, betraying the sect is a grave matter; the Master will not let us off."

Puxian and the other three all nodded.

Randeng Daoren smiled indifferently: "The Heavenly Venerable is a Saint, and Jieyin and Zhunti are also Saints, and they are two Saints at that.

If we defect to Buddhism, what does it matter even if the Heavenly Venerable is angry?

Look, even that little wretch Jiang Ziya dared to defect and join Di Qi.

What do we have to fear in defecting to the two Buddhist Saints?"

Logically speaking, Jiang Ziya should not have dared to betray the sect.

Any one of them could easily wipe out the Great Shang Celestial Dynasty with a single move.

Yet Jiang Ziya had surrendered nonetheless.

Since even Jiang Ziya was not afraid, what were they afraid of?

If they defected to Buddhism, he believed the two Buddhist Saints would certainly protect them with all their might.

Juliusun gritted his teeth and said: "Let's do it. Blocking one's path to the Dao is an irreconcilable enmity. We are waiting to pursue the Great Luo Dao, or even the Quasi-Saint Dao; no one can stop us, otherwise, it is a mortal feud."

The eyes of Cihang and the others also became firm.

Although betraying the sect would damage their reputation and invite the jealousy and hatred of Yuanshi Tianzun, how could that compare to their own future?

"Good!"

Randeng Daoren clapped his hands and said solemnly: "In that case, for the sake of safety, I will first secretly go to Lingshan. Since we are to defect to Buddhism, Buddhism must naturally show its sincerity first."

Cihang and the other four nodded one after another.

Randeng Daoren chuckled inwardly.

With these four as bargaining chips, he would certainly be able to demand more benefits from the two Saints. In the future, within Buddhism, he would also have allies.

……

Kunning Hall.

As usual, Yin Qi came to dine with Zhou Ji, Longji, and the other three women.

To the outside world, he remained a mortal at the Heaven Realm Peak, eating three meals a day.

Zhou Ji, Longji, and the other three women were all sporting large bellies.

They had already been pregnant for three years, but it would take at least another three or four years, or perhaps even longer, to give birth to the imperial princes.

It was just that the atmosphere today was somewhat oppressive.

Zhou Ji looked at Yin Qi, wanting to speak several times but stopping herself.

Princess Longji, Huang Feiyan, and the others looked at Yin Qi for a moment, then at Zhou Ji; they also seemed to want to speak.

Please... you.... bookmark 6... 9... the book....!

Yin Qi naturally saw the behavior of Zhou Ji and the other women.

He put down his chopsticks and said to Zhou Ji, "The rebellion in Xiqi is unforgivable. Back when the Qingzhou Marquis rebelled, only a male infant of the Feng Family who was not yet a month old was spared; this time, the Ji Family can also secretly leave behind one male infant."

"I will have someone take this male infant as a disciple."

"You are the same; in the future, you are not allowed to visit him, nor are you allowed to tell him his background, lest he seek his own death."

"Thank you, Great King."

Zhou Ji was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

She also knew that Yin Qi could not pardon the Ji Family members because of her.

Being able to leave behind one bloodline was already enough to be satisfied.

The Imperial Court's desire to sell Dongtian Fudi under a thousand miles caused a huge sensation within the Yin Shang territory.

A large number of industrial owners submitted applications to the Ministry of Revenue one after another.

Even some sects wanted to purchase Dongtian Fudi to serve as their new sect sites.

Before the rise of live-streamed preaching, there were actually not many sects within the Yin Shang territory, and their strength was generally not strong.

But after the live-streamed preaching, countless sects sprang up.

The Saints, the Quasi-Sages, and even many Great Luo Golden Immortals and Golden Immortals were remotely controlling their believers to establish sects within the Yin Shang territory, because Yin Shang was the source of the changes in Honghuang, and they needed to occupy this place.

Because of this, these sects were all wealthy entities.

In fact, it was not just Yin Shang; the entire Honghuang had set off a wave of establishing sects. They were the vanguard for various traditions to compete for luck, and Honghuang suddenly seemed to have entered the era of sects.

Yin Qi did not refuse the applications of these sects.

Because within the Yin Shang territory, establishing a sect required registration and reporting to the Imperial Court, as well as accepting the supervision of the Martial Hall.

It could be said that these sects were also a part of the Yin Shang forces.

Just like before, when Yin Qi abolished all sects of the Chan Sect lineage to avenge Zhao Gongming, those sects either obediently disbanded, moved out of Yin Shang, or were surrounded and suppressed by the Martial Hall.

In reality, all of these sects disbanded on the spot.

Although they believed in the Dao of the Chan Sect, they were more obedient to the rule of the Imperial Court.

Selling Dongtian Fudi was not something that could be settled in a day or two.

Applicants needed to apply first, indicating which Dongtian Fudi they wanted to purchase, and then the Imperial Court would conduct a qualification review; only after the review passed would they send people to the Dongtian Fudi to survey it.

Finally, the selling price would be determined based on the survey results.

Amidst the busyness, the blink of an eye passed, and three days had gone by.

Finally.

The time for the Three Sovereigns' live stream had arrived.

After the Three Sovereigns started the broadcast, Yin Qi had Immortal Tomb promote and drive traffic to it; immediately, the number of online viewers in the three live-stream rooms began to soar, and it soon broke through the trillion mark.

"Wow, this is Heavenly Sovereign Fuxi, the former Demon Emperor Xi."

"The Three Sovereigns are a pity; they are all Peak Quasi-Saints, yet they can only wither away in Fire Cloud Cave for a lifetime."

"Hehe, when it comes down to it, isn't it just that the Saints are wary of the Human Race? These are three Peak Quasi-Saints! If they weren't imprisoned, then in the future, the Human Race would be a race even more terrifying than the Witch and the Demon Race."

"As long as the Saints do not die, the great thieves will not cease. The Five Emperors disappeared for no reason; this must also be the work of the Saints. You must know that each of the Five Emperors was also a Quasi-Saint."

"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are eight Quasi-Saints; the Demon Race of that time could not even compare to them by a long shot. It's a pity, it is a pity after all."

"Hahaha, that's great. The Three Sovereigns are live-streaming; the rise of our Human Race is imminent."
