“Namo Amitabha!”

Li Xuanxin chanted the Buddhist scripture and felt enlightened. He continued forward.

Soon, Li Xuanxin returned to Spirit Platform Temple with the bamboo basket.

His master, Hui Jue, sat at the entrance. At this moment, the shadow of the West Mountain was getting closer and closer. There were almost no visitors. He also had a rare moment of peace.

Beside him was a young novice monk who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old. He had red lips and white teeth and looked a little scholarly.

“Eh, Xuanxin is back.”

“Master.”

Li Xuanxin bowed with his hand raised. Hui Jue patted the little monk beside him.

“Xuan Mu, this is the senior I told you about just now. Xuanxin, this child just became my disciple today and can be considered your junior.”

Xuan Mu immediately stood up and bowed to Xuanxin, “Xuan Mu greets Senior Xuanxin.”

Li Xuanxin answered indifferently, “You’re welcome, Junior.”

Hui Jue interrupted.

“Xuanxin, your Junior Xuan Mu is a descendant of the Lin family of Blue Sea City. Because of an accident in the Lin family, he entered our sect. Although he’s your junior, his cultivation is not bad. He already has ten years of cultivation base. In the future, you can interact with him in cultivation.”

Li Xuanxin nodded.

“Master, Junior Xuan Mu, I still have a mission to complete. I’ll take my leave first.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

Li Xuanxin bowed to Hui Jue and walked to the Merit Box to throw in the good silver.

He did not keep the ingot of silver that Official Li had secretly given him. He also donated it to the Merit Box.

However, the Merit Golden Lotus did not increase his merit.

It seemed that donating to the Buddhist Sect would not give merit. Only by doing good for the living beings of the world would there be a chance to increase merit.

Chanting scriptures and reciting Buddhist scriptures to eliminate negative karma in the world was for the good.

Saving living beings was also for the good.

…

These were all to increase good deeds in the world and maintain righteousness.

Donating money to the Buddhist Sect was only to contribute to the Buddhist faction alone. The Buddhist Sects guided people to good, but it was not good itself.

It seemed that the Merit Golden Lotus did not only concern the Buddhist faction. Did that mean that it could also cultivate the cultivation techniques of other sects?

When he became stronger in the future, he might be able to try.

More than a hundred merit points could not help him increase the level of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation. It was better to submit the mission first and then receive some new missions.

Arriving at the mission room, Li Xuanxin submitted the mission.

The disciple in charge of dealing with it could not help but say in surprise,

“Eh, Junior Xuanxin, you did it so quickly?”

“It’s Buddha’s blessing. I was lucky. I want to take on some more missions, preferably a few at once.”

“There are many missions recently, but I don’t recommend that you go out these few days.”

“Oh?”

Li Xuanxin was a little puzzled. The other party explained again, “These few days, the Demon Cult caused a bit of chaos. The disciples who go out now will be in danger.”

“Is that so? Alright then.”

Since there was danger outside, it was better to stay for two days. Anyway, he had already endured for half a year, so he was not in a hurry.

Since he had nothing to do, he came to the Sutra Pavilion again.

Not only were there cultivation techniques in the Sutra Pavilion, but there were also some historical records about this world.

Living in this world, he naturally had to know more about it.

Just as he arrived at the Sutra Pavilion, Li Xuanxin saw Uncle-Master Hui Neng again who was explaining to the new disciples.

He felt that Uncle-Master Hui Neng might like the feeling of being worshiped by his disciples.

“…This Three Deities Sect has been around for a long time. Their formation also involves a shocking matter from a thousand years ago!”

“Legend had it that a thousand years ago, the Three Realms of demons, devils, and ghosts invaded the mortal world. They each sent a general and forced the mortal world to retreat step by step. Countless humans were slaughtered and history called the chaos of Middle Earth!”

“At that time, the humans were weak. In order to survive, some humans chose to be the lackeys of the Three Realms and helped them slaughter the humans.”

“We call them the Three Great Demon Cults, while they call themselves the Three Deities Sect…”

“This Three Deities Sect is really a bunch of scum!”

“That’s right. If I encounter the scum of the Three Deities Sect, I’ll definitely kill them with the Arhat Fist!”

Everyone was indignant. One of the young monks could not help but ask, “But why would the people of the Three Deities Sect kill our disciples? If they only want to cultivate evil techniques and need to kill, there are too many people in this world. The Buddhist faction has more than one Spirit Platform Temple.”

“That’s a good question.”

Hui Neng spoke again.

“A thousand years ago, the chaos in Middle Earth caused the Human Race to be ravaged. In the end, the Great Zhou Imperial Court joined forces with the various sects to suppress the forces of the Three Realms in a foreign space under the Black Water River.”

“The strength of the Three Realms was suppressed. The Demon Cult forces that relied on the Three Realms were suppressed or even eliminated without any backing.”

“Among the three founding ancestors of the Three Deities Sect, the Blood Fiend Ancestor was suppressed in my Spirit Platform Temple!”

“Therefore, the disciples of the Three Deities Sect targeted our Spirit Platform Temple.”

“It was said that the other two sects that suppressed the Three Deities Sect’s ancestor, the Goddess Palace and the Heavenly Sword Sect, had also had disciples killed recently. It was probably also done by the disciples of the Three Deities Sect.”

“It’s very likely that they want to save the three ancestors.”

“Then why don’t we kill these three Demon Cult ancestors? Wouldn’t it be fine if we killed them?”

“How can it be that easy?” Master Hui Neng sighed.

“They are all peak experts who have cultivated the Demon, Devil, and Ghost Dao and have been personally taught by the experts of the Three Realms. They have long stepped into the Creation Realm and their Essence Souls have reached a phenomenal stage. They have also fused with the evil technique itself.”

“As long as they passed down the evil technique, even if they died, as long as someone cultivated their evil technique, they will never die.”

“If we completely kill them, they might be reincarnated elsewhere. Only by suppressing their Essence Souls can we ensure that they won’t escape.”

“Gasp! It’s actually so terrifying.”

“Therefore, as disciples, we have to cultivate the Buddhist Dharma diligently. If the demon is lucky enough to appear in the future, we can also do our best for the world.”

When Li Xuanxin heard this, he could not help but be shocked.

He did not expect the Great Zhou to have such a secret history. He had never read about this in books.

Perhaps the Great Zhou Imperial Family did not want to blow this matter up to prevent the people from panicking.

However, Li Xuanxin heard something else.

It was impossible for the disciples of the Three Deities Sect to only want to save the three founding ancestors.

Although the three of them were already great demons, their strength was not too monstrous. They were definitely inferior to the experts of the Three Realms.

If it was filial piety, it was even more ridiculous.

The filial piety of the Demon Sect disciples was not only rotten, but were probably moldy.

The reason why they wanted to save the three founding ancestors was to use them to break through the seal of the Black Water River and release the experts of the Three Realms?

If that was the case, this world would probably not be peaceful.

It seemed that he had to hurry up and increase his cultivation.
