This great calamity is not only a disaster for immortals and gods, but also an opportunity for some people with great supernatural powers.
Who would have thought that a Primordial Dao Fruit would be born from this calamity?
The only downside is that there are too many people qualified to compete for the Dao Fruit.
Since the beginning of time, countless eras have passed, and geniuses like the Three Sovereigns of antiquity have fallen on the path to achieving the Primordial Chaos realm.
There are countless cultivators, but only eight can ultimately achieve the Hunyuan state.
Now another opportunity has arrived, how could great supernatural beings like Zhen Yuanzi and Styx Ancestor, who are determined to break through to the Hunyuan realm and are only a step away from the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, miss it?
However, there is a specific method to follow when it comes to joining in.
In essence, this massacre was nothing more than a conflict between Taoism, Buddhism, and Chan Buddhism.
As for Laozi, since he sided with Yuanshi Tianzun, his Renjiao (Human Teachings) was considered to be part of the same system as the Chanjiao (Chan Teachings).
However, the Tongtian Sect Leader did not choose the Xuanmen sect, but instead directly joined forces with Taoism.
In fact, each of these three sides has two religious leaders or saints in charge, so on the surface it seems like they are evenly matched.
As for the remaining two Primordial Saints, Hongjun Daozu was suppressed in the depths of chaos.
Nuwa, being a goddess who did not hold great sway over religion, was quite detached from worldly affairs.
However, over the years, the Taoist Zhunti frequently visited the Jinxiu Tianwa Palace, shamelessly flattering the Goddess Nuwa, which gradually caused the Goddess Nuwa's stance to lean slightly towards Buddhism.
Neither Sanqing nor Hu Le were completely unaware of this.
However, even if they wanted to win over Nuwa, as Pangu, they couldn't be as shameless as the Daoist Zhunti...
Although Zhen Yuanzi is not a Hunyuan, in terms of status, position, and even cultivation level, he can be considered one of the top few in the entire prehistoric world.
In Zhunti Daoren's view, they also had value in being won over.
Therefore, through his various attempts to win over and scheme, Zhen Yuanzi has unknowingly sided with Buddhism over the years.
Judging from his willingness to risk his reputation and become sworn brothers with Sun Wukong, his stance is self-evident.
In this bloody calamity, although the Buddhist sect had its eye on Crown Prince Zhao Qin, it still focused some attention on Zhao Gou and asked Zhen Yuanzi to support the Liang King.
This is also why the Earth Immortal lineage and some Buddhist cultivators appeared in the Liang Prince's Mansion.
Yun Teng, who died at the hands of the Golden Spirit Mother, possessed all his Taoist magic and supernatural powers from the Earth Immortal lineage...
When Zhao Gou, the King of Liang, received Huang Kun's battle report and request for help, he immediately summoned the cultivators in his mansion and showed them the report.
Upon seeing the battle report, one of the Golden Immortals from the Earth Immortal lineage flew into a rage: "That Xu Shilin! How dare he harm my disciple! He must not be spared!"
This man was named Yuan Tong, and he was one of Zhen Yuanzi's disciples.
The fallen Yun Teng was his disciple.
As a teacher, it's understandable that he was so angry upon receiving news of his student's death.
"Then we'll need you to put in a lot of effort to avenge Yunqing, Teacher Yuantong," Zhao Gou said with a smile, seizing the opportunity.
Yuan Tong waved his hand and said coldly, "Prince Liang, there's no need for such formalities. Avenging my disciple is what I, as his teacher, should do..."
Next, he gathered up the spirit treasure and charged headed aggressively towards Xianxia Pass.
Zhao Gou was not idle either. Instead, he summoned a trusted general named Long Shi and ordered him to lead an army of 100,000 to support Xianxia Pass...
On this day, Yuan Tong arrived at Xianxia Pass on a beam of light. After he showed Zhao Gou's warrant, Huang Kun personally and respectfully welcomed him into the pass.
In recent days, under the repeated attacks of the Qin army, Xianxia Pass was almost breached several times, but fortunately it held on in the end.
Now that he saw a master had arrived and heard that reinforcements would be coming, Huang Kun felt much more at ease.
That night, he hosted a banquet at his residence to entertain Yuan Tong, waiting to give Xu Shilin across the table a surprise the next day.
Time flies like a rabbit and a crow gallops, and the next day arrives quickly.
When the sun was high in the sky, the heavy gate of the city was raised again, and Huang Kun led his army out of the city gate.
Xu Shilin, who was in the Qin army camp opposite, was greatly surprised to hear that Huang Kun dared to lead his troops out of the pass.
Even a coward like me has a day when I finally show my face?!
However, since the other side dared to leave the city, he had no reason not to fight.
Therefore, he ordered his generals to prepare their troops and get ready to lead a large army to meet the enemy in battle...
Once the troops had assembled, he led them out of the camp and deployed them into battle formation.
Surrounded by his generals, he spurred his horse to the front of the formation and looked towards the opposite side, where he immediately saw Huang Kun standing under the banner.
At this moment, Huang Kun was sitting on horseback talking to a Taoist priest with a tall hat beside him...
“Immortal Master! That is Xu Shilin. General Yun Teng was ruined by him.”
Huang Kun pointed to Xu Shilin and introduced him to Yuantong.
Admittedly, Yun Teng was not killed by Xu Shilin himself, but since Xu Shilin was the commander-in-chief of the Qin army, the blame naturally falls on him.
"Very well! Since it's him! I'll go and retrieve his head to offer as a sacrifice to my poor disciple!"
Yuan Tong glanced at Xu Shilin, his heart filled with murderous intent. He greeted Huang Kun, leaped off his horse, and transformed into a beam of light as he landed in the arena, a whisk suddenly appearing in his hand.
He raised his whisk and pointed it at Xu Shilin, shouting, "Xu Shilin! Come and face your death!"
Xu Shilin spurred his horse forward, looked Yuan Tong up and down, and frowned, saying, "Brother Daoist, I see you are also an enlightened person. Why do you choose to come to this dangerous place of war instead of enjoying peace and quiet in the mountains?"
"Enough with the nonsense. After I kill you, I will return to my peaceful life."
"Eh, this seems to be our first meeting. Why are you so hostile towards me? Could it be that I have offended you in some way?"
Xu Shilin glanced at the man again; the murderous intent in the man's eyes was indeed quite intense.
He really didn't understand where the other party's hatred came from.
"Haha! If you had really offended me, I might not have bothered with you. But you shouldn't have killed my disciple. Now that I, his teacher, have come, I'm determined to get justice for him!" Yuan Tong sneered.
Xu Shilin asked, "May I ask your son's honorable name?"
"Hmph! Have you already forgotten Yun Teng, the commander of Xianxia Pass?"
"Oh, so he's your disciple, fellow Daoist. In that case, it's only natural that you've come to seek revenge."
Xu Shilin nodded.
Yun Teng was killed by the Golden Spirit Holy Mother.
But in the end, it was only at his request that the Golden Spirit Mother intervened.
So he simply admitted it.
Yuan Tong sneered, "Fine! Even you think it's only right, then even if I kill you, you won't die with your eyes wide open in disbelief!"
That's all I have to say.
He simply stopped talking and gently flicked the whisk in his hand, instantly creating a hazy, rosy light.
A beam of light shot towards Xu Shilin like a bolt of lightning.
Suddenly, a Kan-Gen-Kun Flag appeared in Xu Shilin's hand...
