The door of Jizhen Hall was closed, and only a few faint rays of light shone into the hall through the plain sandpaper on the doors and windows.

Fang Jian slowly opened the scroll of scriptures that Jiu Tian Xuan Nu had placed in his hands. Under the golden sunlight shining in from the window, Fang Jian could only see four immortal characters: "The True Scripture of Dong Hui."

Then, below the title of the scripture is the annotation of this scripture: "The True Scripture of Donghui, the wonderful method of Donghui Zhenjun to enlighten the spirit and purify the soul. Donghui Zhenjun was a post-natal being who died during the calamity of Yankang. At the time of his death, he was a Taiyi Golden Immortal."

"The immortals who died in the Yankang Calamity." Fang Jian took a deep breath. How many kalpas has it been?

As mentioned earlier, there were five major disasters after the creation of the world, namely: Longhan, Chiming, Kaihuang, Shanghuang and Yankang.

During these five great calamities, there were no less than a thousand Golden Immortals who perished, not to mention the immortals below the Golden Immortal level.

Those who have survived these five catastrophes and lived to the present day are all powerful people today.

If we calculate carefully, one hundred and six epochs have passed since the most recent Yankang catastrophe. One epoch is 129,600 years, or 44,841,600 years.

When Fang Jian thought of this, he immediately tucked the "Donghui Sutra" in his hand under his arm, and then began to flip through the bookshelf in Jizhen Hall one by one.

As time passed, Fang Jian's expression became more and more serious. In the end, he was extremely shocked.

Because he discovered that the more than 100,000 scriptures on the thousands of bookshelves in the Jizhen Palace were all the true scriptures of the monks who died in the five great disasters.

Some of these cultivators died in the Longhan Catastrophe, some died in the Chiming Catastrophe, and some died in the Kaihuang Catastrophe, the Shanghuang Catastrophe, and the Yankang Catastrophe.

Moreover, the scriptures included here have owners whose lowest level of cultivation is Golden Immortal, and the highest is Daluo Golden Immortal!

However, these scriptures are not Taoist teachings, but true scriptures for various spiritual cultivation and cultivation realms. However, despite this, any one of these scriptures that leaks out will directly give birth to a Taoist sect such as Zhengyi, Quanzhen, Wudoumi, Tianshi, etc.

This place is simply a treasure house that has witnessed the history of the Five Great Calamities. It contains the wisdom heritage of the ancient immortals and gods who perished in the Five Great Calamities.

Jizhen Palace!

Fang Jian finally realized how superficial he was. Would the Grand Envoy use his own experience in Taoism to name a hall? The true meaning of Jizhen Hall was precisely these scriptures before him.

"The lady has good intentions, how can I let her down?" Fang Jian said softly, then sat down cross-legged on the ground.

He raised his head and swept his eyes across the rows of bookshelves. Those scriptures still radiated the light of wisdom after tens of millions of years, and were like wisps of sparks transmitted from the ancient times, trying to illuminate the way forward for this young man.

"If I don't break the demon of obsession in my heart, even if I could start over, I would not have the face to see the Great Envoy."

Fang Jian made up his mind, cleared his mind of all distracting thoughts, picked up the "Donghui Sutra" with both hands and began to study it seriously.

...

"The Human Emperor has ordered Shu County to stop destroying Buddhism." Zhang Sanfeng said to everyone in Tianzhu Cave in Zhongnan Mountain.

As soon as Zhang Sanfeng finished speaking, Zhang Bao asked, "If that's the case, should we continue to advance into Shu County?"

"Don't come in." A majestic voice came down, and everyone turned to look, only to see a young Taoist wearing a Taoist robe and a golden crown sitting on a lotus.

This young Taoist is called 'Jin Zha', a Golden Immortal, the eldest son of the Heavenly King Li, and the guardian deity of Taoism, with the title 'Retribution Flying Marshal'.

Jin Zha slowly said, "Since the Emperor has issued an edict to stop the destruction of Buddhism in Shu County, it would be futile for us to enter. Both Buddhism and Heaven would stop us."

"Now we should expel the Buddhist forces outside Shu County from the Tang Dynasty." A Taoist priest with a clear and elegant appearance said.

Zhang Jue turned his head to look, then nodded with a smile and said, "Daoist Bai Yuchan is absolutely right."

Then Jin Zha flicked his sleeves and said to the Taoist immortals in Tianzhu Cave: "Destroy the Buddhist sect in Wutai Mountain first."

...

At the foot of Mount Wutai, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty court had circled here hundreds of times.

The prefect and the general who led the army were very helpless. Looking at Mount Wutai shrouded in thick fog, they could only sigh helplessly.

"This is the magical power of the gods, which is beyond our ability to break. Let's report it to His Majesty." The prefect said to the captain general beside him.

Upon hearing this, the captain general looked up at the fog-shrouded Mount Wutai and finally had to agree with the prefect's suggestion.

But at this moment, a ray of fairy light suddenly flew from the sky and then fell straight into the camp.

The prefect and the general were startled at the sight, then quickly walked out.

Then, the two of them saw a Taoist monk with a tall hat and a wide belt slowly approaching from outside the tent. He bowed to the governor and the general and said, "I am Bai Yuchan from Qionghai. I have come to help the governor and the general break the formation."

The prefect and the general were overjoyed upon hearing this. They immediately paid great respects to Bai Yuchan and then welcomed him into the tent.

At the same time that Emperor Li Hong of the Tang Dynasty issued the edict to destroy Buddhism, he also issued another edict, which was to officially designate Taoism as the state religion of the Tang Dynasty.

And in accordance with the precedent set by Taizu and Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Er, the incarnation of Taishang Laojun in the human world, was posthumously named the Holy Ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, and was given the honorific title of "The Great Holy Ancestor Gaoshang Daguandao Jinque Xuanyuan Tianhuang Emperor".

In other words, the Li family posthumously recognized Li Er, the incarnation of Taishang Laojun on earth, as their ancestor, demonstrating their own Taoist tradition and orthodoxy.
