Chapter 82: Farce and Comparison, The Changes in Daming

Because the Demonic Sects are also spread throughout many regions, targeting the Buddhist temples in their own regions is relatively simple.

While it's not impossible for some Buddhist temples to be relatively poor, most of them are quite wealthy.

Thus, the Buddhist Factions in various regions once again encountered considerable trouble.

However, the Demonic Sects' reputation wasn't great to begin with, so it didn't matter much to them!

Conversely, the Buddhist Factions suffered greatly, losing much of their reputation.

This even sparked discussions among countless people on the light screen.

“Those bald donkeys of the Buddhist Factions are always doing immoral things.”

“Also, not everyone can be called a high monk.”

“The Buddhist Factions are truly skilled at accumulating wealth; at least few other powers can compare.”

One person saying the Buddhist Factions have problems might not mean much, but when more and more people say it, then there truly is a problem.

At least, this is the perception people have!

Perhaps among the many, the People of Shenxia were the calmest.

Because the People of Shenxia live well, how Buddhism fares doesn't concern them much.

However, according to some historical records of Shenxia, before Shenxia was founded, there seemed to be some Buddhist Factions.

But under the Sacred Light, they had long since been abolished and relegated to history.

In fact, during the low-martial Great Qing, although there was the Jianghu and Buddhist Factions,

because martial arts cultivation wasn't high, the Jianghu was actually unlike other regions.

The Dynasty's influence had already far surpassed that of the Jianghu.

Unlike the Martial Artists of the Jianghu in other regions, who could take an enemy's head amidst a thousand soldiers.

This was simply impossible in the low-martial Great Qing before.

Later, when Shenxia was established, clearing out these Jianghu forces became an even simpler matter.

Furthermore, due to Shenxia's significant influence, many Jianghu Martial Artists were willing to lay down their arms and live ordinary lives.

It could be said that Shenxia truly achieved the 'trampling of the Jianghu'!

As for the Liyang Dynasty's previous 'trampling of the Jianghu,' that was purely a joke.

The People of Shenxia viewed the commotion on the light screen more as watching a farce.

Secondly, it was an eye-opener; who would have thought these Jianghu forces were so dark?

In contrast!

The Dawn Divine Cult was very transparent and fair.

Perhaps there were some selfish motives, but they were all within the rules.

At most, they provided some convenience for friends and family!

As for those who dared to break the rules, they were probably rounded up by the Inquisition.

Unlike the Knights and Missionaries, the Inquisition members were the most steadfast in their faith in Chen Jing.

These individuals, being rather fanatical in their faith, were able to be utterly impartial.

Today, many in Shenxia hold the Inquisition in great awe!

The Buddhist Factions and the Demonic Sects argued for over half a month before gradually quieting down.

This incident caused the Ghost Immortal Mo Yi's attention to wane significantly.

Previously, much of the focus was on Ghost Immortal Mo Yi, but now that attention has lessened.

However, the decrease in attention still didn't change the problem of the hundred slots being fiercely contested.

At this moment, Ghost Immortal Mo Yi also began to consider whether he should take a disciple to nurture.

As long as his disciple achieved Human Immortal cultivation, he could guard this temple!

“I've interacted with many of the younger generation before; it's not that there are no opportunities.”

Ghost Immortal Mo Yi mused silently.

But taking a disciple is something that cannot be rushed; it requires careful observation over time.

And one also needs to know the other party's wishes.

Of course, he still had a lot of confidence in himself.

At least taking a few disciples shouldn't be a problem.

In fact, among the many people he had currently interacted with, the one he favored most was undoubtedly Zhang Sanfeng.

This person truly had the potential to become a Land Immortal.

Unfortunately, Zhang Sanfeng's status and cultivation meant he was definitely not suitable to be his disciple.

However, this also made him take a second look at the Prodigies of the Great Ming Dynasty.

Many of the Great Ming Dynasty's Prodigies actually had potential!

The pity was whether these Prodigies of the Great Ming Dynasty would be compatible with Shenxia!?

They couldn't possibly harbor hostility towards Shenxia; otherwise, they might end up harming him.

He held considerable reverence for that Divine Being.

Besides faith, that Divine Being gave him the feeling of a scorching sun in the sky.

Desirable but unattainable!

The deeper his faith, the more he felt how powerful this Divine Being was.

Just as Ghost Immortal Mo Yi was evaluating who would be suitable as a disciple,

at this moment on the light screen, something happened!

However, this matter was not directly related to Shenxia, but had some indirect connection.

Instead, it was directly related to Zhang Sanfeng!

[Zhang Ban (Daming Region): It seems Sect's Zhang Sanfeng doesn't plan to return to the Great Ming Dynasty.]

[Lei Chunyang (Daming Region): After arriving in Shenxia, how could he still care for the Great Ming Dynasty?]

[Yu Xiangshui (Daming Region): Is the Wudang Sect going to disband next?]

Anyone with eyes could see that this was not an ordinary attack targeting Zhang Sanfeng.

Immediately, the Wudang Sect members in Divine Capital couldn't sit still.

“Master, this is clearly slander!”

“We only stayed in Shenxia for a few days.”

These Sect Disciples all voiced their indignation.

Zhang Sanfeng, however, showed a helpless expression on his face.

He seemed to have some guesses about these criticisms!

It was probably some forces in the Daming Region who didn't want him to continue staying in Shenxia.

After all, the Great Ming Dynasty now needed Zhang Sanfeng to act as its figurehead.

There were also some forces that might be trying to sow discord between the Wudang Sect and the Great Ming Dynasty.

In short, there were many forces within the Great Ming Dynasty who couldn't stand to see the Wudang Sect prosper.

But thinking about it, it was normal!

For example, the Shaolin Temple within the Great Ming Dynasty should have been the leader of the Righteous Path.

However, with the introduction on the light screen, coupled with the previous news of Zhang Sanfeng reaching the Human Immortal realm,

the Wudang Sect had solidified its position as the number one School in the Great Ming Dynasty.

This made many forces rather displeased.

Where there are people, there is Jianghu, and naturally, the Jianghu is complex.

The Wudang Sect's rise to power naturally wouldn't be accepted by everyone wholeheartedly.

Secondly, among the various powers of the Great Ming Dynasty, some probably intended to prevent Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation from progressing further.

After all, if Zhang Sanfeng continued to seek guidance from this Land Immortal, his cultivation might become even harder to catch up to.

As for the Great Ming Dynasty's imperial family, their feelings towards Zhang Sanfeng were also complicated.

Zhang Sanfeng was ultimately an outsider; on one hand, they hoped Zhang Sanfeng would be stronger, but on the other hand, they feared the imperial family's influence would wane.

Therefore, regarding this criticism of Zhang Sanfeng on the light screen, these people neither helped nor participated.

Additionally, there was another point: Shenxia had not shown any intention of invading the Daming Region.

This allowed the various Daming forces to gradually relax, easing the tension they felt when the worlds first underwent Fusion.

“Alas!”

“We shall return to the Great Ming Dynasty first.”

Zhang Sanfeng sighed and slowly spoke.

Regarding cultivation, he actually still had many questions he wanted to ask.

His exchanges with Ghost Immortal, this Land Immortal, during this period

had made him rediscover the feeling he had when he first started cultivating martial arts.

However, now, that was no longer possible!

At present, Zhang Sanfeng still couldn't abandon the Wudang Sect, and as for disbanding, that was even more preposterous.

The faces of his several Disciples were filled with even more anger.
