87: Buddhism and Taoism, Lingshan Mountain, Daleiyin Temple!

Jiesheng Sect.

The Black-Robed Youth was leaning comfortably against a massive rock, his gaze casually cast toward the pool below.

In the crystal-clear pool, colorful and exceptionally agile fish occasionally leaped out of the water, splashing transparent droplets.

"Revered Master, do you know about the Heavenly Palace that Sima Wangquan mentioned?" Shen Xuansheng, who was standing beside him, suddenly asked, lightly flicking his finger.

In an instant, a sharp and unparalleled burst of vital Qi shot out, accurately hitting the spirit fish that had just jumped out of the water.

With a soft 'puchi' sound, the spirit fish was instantly pierced by this powerful force, and simultaneously, a bamboo skewer penetrated its body. Immediately after, a dazzling ball of golden flame suddenly rose up, blazing brilliantly like a golden sun.

The fiercely burning golden flame quickly enveloped the spirit fish, roasting it completely in the blink of an eye.

Following this, the roasted spirit fish seemed to be pulled by some mysterious force, automatically floating in front of the Black-Robed Youth.

He reached out slightly, took the spirit fish in his hand, and then unhurriedly took a bite, savoring the delicious flavor of the fish meat.

After swallowing the food in his mouth, the Black-Robed Youth responded softly, "As for the matters of the Ancient Celestial Dynasty, I know a little, but I don't understand everything. After all, I didn't stay in the Divine Continent Realm for very long back then."

"Revered Master, you're letting me go, which means it's not dangerous?" Shen Xuansheng asked.

The Black-Robed Youth nodded: "Mhm."

"Sima Wangquan was correct. There is indeed a Great Array of Equality for All Beings within the Heavenly Palace. The innate supreme treasure is only one reason I'm sending you."

"The second reason is the Great Array of Equality for All Beings."

The Black-Robed Youth turned to look at Shen Xuansheng and said calmly, "The arrangement and operation of the Great Array of Equality for All Beings rely on the power of the Stars of the Heavens. You must find the core of the array and obtain the cosmic stars banner."

"The cosmic stars banner?"

Shen Xuansheng was familiar with the name Stars of the Heavens, but what was this cosmic stars banner?

"The cosmic stars banner contains the Ultimate Intent of the Stars of the Heavens. If you have enough Opportunity to comprehend it, you can set up the Great Array of the Stars of the Heavens. In my memory, I doubt there is a second great array in the entire Divine Continent Realm that can compare to it."

"It is perfectly suited for use in your Great Qin Dynasty."

This time.

Shen Xuansheng was truly shocked in his heart.

The Great Array of the Stars of the Heavens?

What kind of thing was that? That was one of the top great arrays in the Primordial Era!

"Revered Master, have you ever heard of the Sect Master Tongtian?" Shen Xuansheng lowered his voice and cautiously asked the Black-Robed Youth before him.

However, the Black-Robed Youth merely shook his head gently and asked, "Oh? Which Great Sect's Sect Revered Master is that?"

Facing his Revered Master's extremely calm reaction, a ripple arose in Shen Xuansheng's heart.

For a moment, various thoughts surged into his mind, making Shen Xuansheng feel increasingly perplexed.

Could it be that his own guess was completely wrong?

Forget it!

Since he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't dwell on it.

"Plotting for the Heavenly Palace is secondary; the most important thing right now is the New Dao Lineage." The Black-Robed Youth said calmly, "Your Third Manifestation has already reached the Nirvana Origin Realm. How do you plan to step into the Nirvana Dao Realm?"

Shen Xuansheng said directly, "Revered Master, I already have an idea. I plan to use the moment Luck descends to comprehend the Dao Body through the Heavenly Dao of Luck. This is the only feasible path for my Third Manifestation right now."

There are three ways to obtain the Dao Body for the Third Manifestation.

The first is through an Innate divine medicine like the seven-colored divine lotus; the second is relying on System rewards, though it's unknown when those will appear again; and the third is relying on the descent of Luck to comprehend the Heavenly Dao of Luck.

"That is one method."

The Black-Robed Youth lay down again: "If that doesn't work, I will take a trip to the Chaos Sea then and see if I can find a divine medicine similar to the seven-colored divine lotus."

"Otherwise, your Third Manifestation will be completely ruined, and the power of One Qi Transforms into Three Venerables will never be fully utilized."

Shen Xuansheng nodded: "Understood, Revered Master!"

...Eastern Region.

What was originally an unnamed mountain had now completely transformed.

Various buildings covered the mountaintop, and a great hall stood firmly on the peak.

"From now on, this mountain shall be called Spirit Mountain!"

Nanwu means Salvation looked at the great hall before him and said to the Twelve True Inheritances of the Kunlun Sect, "Senior Brothers, Senior Sisters, this matter is concluded. When Luck descends, I, your Junior Brother, will certainly honor my promise!"

The Twelve True Inheritances of the Kunlun Sect, led by Chess Sword Master, finally relaxed upon hearing Shen Xuansheng's words: "Excellent!"

"We shall await your good news at the Kunlun Sect!"

After speaking, Chess Sword Master and the eleven others turned into long rainbows and left Spirit Mountain.

"Senior Sister Hua, thank you very much!" Nanwu means Salvation cupped his hands.

Fairy Hua looked at the empty great hall, whose plaque was still nameless, and asked curiously, "What do you plan to call this great hall?"

"Naturally, it will be the name of my Great Sect."

As Nanwu means Salvation spoke, he waved his hand, and his magical power, like a carving knife, imprinted four large characters onto the empty plaque of the great hall.

"Great Thunder Sound Temple!"

"From now on, this place is the Great Thunder Sound Temple of Spirit Mountain!"

At the same time.

Western Heaven Sect.

The earth collapsed, and continuous mountain ranges rose from the ground, with palaces appearing on the mountains.

"From now on, this New Sect will temporarily be presided over by you." The Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect looked at Fu Shijia and said.

Fu Shijia quickly responded: "Yes, Revered Master!"

"I sense that this New Sect saves sentient beings, educates the world, and studies the Dao of Tathata—it is the Dao of my Western Heaven. I shall bestow upon you the Daoist title 'Tathagata.' Do you accept?" the Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect asked.

Fu Shijia bowed again: "Disciple Tathagata accepts the title!"

A Jade Slip appeared in the hand of the Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect. He handed it to Tathagata and slowly said, "This Jade Slip contains the Cultivation Technique and Divine Ability of my Western Heaven Sect, as well as the insights from the Tuoshen Institute. It will illuminate all sentient beings like the sun. I now name it the Mahā Vairocana True Scripture, and you shall use it to save sentient beings."

Tathagata respectfully accepted the Jade Slip with both hands: "Revered Master's intent is to save all living beings in Heaven and Earth; this is a great benevolence for all life. Your Disciple feels this deeply, and thus names this path the buddhist path!"

"buddhist path?" A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect.

"Good!"

The Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect pointed to the empty plaque on the great hall and asked, "Tathagata, do you have a name for the hall?"

Tathagata took a deep breath.

"It shall be the Mahavira Hall!"

Boom!!

The instant the four large characters of Mahavira Hall appeared, the entire world seemed to tremble, and divine light shot up from the Mahavira Hall, soaring straight toward the stars.

"Hmm?"

The Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect looked at the divine light soaring toward the stars, and his expression changed.

"Revered Master, what's wrong?" Tathagata, sensing the change in the Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect, asked.

The Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect formed hand seals, but as time passed, his brow furrowed tighter.

"It seems there is also a sect in the East corresponding to the Mahavira Hall."

"I'm afraid there will be some unexpected complications with the descent of this great Luck."

Hearing this, Tathagata asked doubtfully, "That shouldn't be the case, should it? The dao lineage descended upon the Tuoshen Institute in the Southern Continent. Even if there is something in the East, it shouldn't be possible for them to know what the dao lineage is."

"Could it be Martial Uncle Jiesheng?" Tathagata asked.

The Sect Master of the Western Heaven Sect shook his head: "That's impossible. He would not abandon the Jiesheng dao lineage, so he certainly wouldn't involve himself with the New Dao Lineage."

"Perhaps I am overthinking things. After all, this time I have staked the entire Western Heaven Sect."
