In Xitian Palace, on the parade ground, clouds are rising in the sky and flags are fluttering.
The sound of sword chants resounded through the sky, and the cold sword beams shone in all directions.
Tang Yu was wearing a crimson first-rank official robe, a jade belt tightly tied around his waist, and a majestic crown and belt. He held a pair of Taosu Shuangqing swords in his hands and danced with a majestic and murderous look.
Not far away from the training ground, General Li Yan, who destroyed the altar, and General Chai Zhou, who destroyed the temple, stood side by side, watching Tang Yu's sword dance attentively.
After an unknown amount of time, the murderous sword energy gradually dissipated. Tang Yu put away his swords and stood still, then stopped and dispersed his energy.
At this time, Li Yan and Chai Zhou hurried forward, and Li Yan said, "The Shangshu's swordsmanship has become more and more exquisite."
Chai Zhou also said: "Your steps are like stars, and your sword is as powerful as a rainbow. I'm afraid even the sword master of Mount Shu cannot compare to you, Shangshu."
Tang Yu smiled faintly, loosened the wrist restraints, spread out his long sleeves, and then gently gathered his wide sleeves and said, "I have never seen that Shushan Sword Saint, so it is difficult to compare. However, in Xiniu Hezhou, my swordsmanship should have a place."
"He is definitely the best in Xiniu Hezhou." Li Yan said immediately.
Chai Zhou also said: "If the Shangshu is not the first, then who can be the first?"
"Alright, alright." Tang Yu waved his hand and asked, "What do you have to report today?"
Li Yan said, "Your Excellency, the Buddhist sect has summoned another 150,000 True Immortal Realm Buddhist disciples from Xiniuhezhou to go to Nanzhanbuzhou."
"Oh?" Tang Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "I remember that we just summoned 200,000 True Immortal Realm disciples ten days ago, right?"
"Yes," Li Yan said, "but the war in the Southern Continent was not going well, so we summoned another 150,000."
Tang Yu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this and said, "I'm afraid there aren't many disciples left in Xi Niu Hezhou to recruit."
Li Yan also smiled and said, "When we first fought against the Dao Sect, we had already mobilized most of the forces we could. Now we are cutting off the fuel from under the cauldron."
Tang Yu said: "The first time was 200,000, and the second time was 150,000. It can't be considered as cutting off the source of the fire. At most, it can only be considered as taking money from one place to pay for another."
“But among the Buddhist temples in Xiniu Hezhou, there are only a few true immortal monks left.” Li Yan said.
Tang Yu's eyes narrowed and he asked, "Is this news accurate?"
"This is what I saw with my own eyes when I was in the lower world of the Tianluyuan monitoring various temples. The number of true immortal monks in the Buddhist temples in Xiniu Hezhou has become very rare. Some of them don't even have a single true immortal disciple. A gap has already appeared." Li Yan said.
Tang Yu then turned to Chai Zhou and asked, "What about you? How's the situation?"
Chai Zhou bowed and said, "This humble official is in the same boat as General Fatan. The Buddhist sect has already transferred as many Buddhist monks from the True Immortal Realm as possible from Xiniu Hezhou."
"It seems that the offensive of my Heavenly Army is very strong." Tang Yu said slowly.
Li Yan said, "The commander-in-chief of the expedition is Erlang Zhenjun, the recognized God of War in the Three Realms. Moreover, he has over two million celestial soldiers from the True Immortal Realm. Let alone Buddhism, even the Taoists and Buddhists combined might not be able to withstand him."
Tang Yu felt his scalp tingle when he thought of the more than two million True Fairyland Heavenly Soldiers. That was the True Fairyland! And they were well-trained True Fairyland Heavenly Soldiers. Only the Heavenly Court could afford such a terrifying force.
Daoism and Buddhism would like to cultivate this kind of power, but it's only a thought, as they can't possibly have the advantage of Heaven's "ruler of the Three Realms" to access so many resources. Furthermore, Daoism and Buddhism are essentially sects based on the master-disciple relationship, with various "sects" within them. This system differs significantly from the Celestial Court's system of immortal officials, and therefore cannot achieve the same high concentration of power and authority as the Celestial Court.
After all, there are many Buddhas and many Heavenly Lords, but there is only one and only one 'Great Heavenly Lord Jade Emperor of the Mysterious Sky'.
Moreover, there are many true immortal realm monks in Buddhism and Taoism, but most of them have been lost in the decades of tug-of-war in the Southern Continent. Now they are facing more than two million true immortal realm celestial soldiers who are full of fighting spirit and have been strictly trained and cultivated by the Heavenly Court.
"However, while over two million Heavenly Soldiers certainly have an advantage in engaging Buddhism and Xuanjiao, as the advance progresses, even two million Heavenly Soldiers will undoubtedly be insufficient to maintain garrison positions in various locations," Chai Zhou speculated. "Perhaps Heaven will soon need to call upon Heavenly Soldiers again."
Tang Yu said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Go write a memorial and summarize the matter of the Buddhist sect withdrawing True Immortal Realm disciples from Xiniu Hezhou. I will submit it to the Heavenly Sovereign. This information may be useful to him."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Li Yan and Chai Zhou immediately bowed and said hello.
The information presented by Tang Yu was not only useful, but too useful. The first thing Fang Jian did after receiving the memorial was to sigh that setting up this 'Tianluyuan' was indeed a brilliant move.
With the name of Tianluyuan, Xitianfu can monitor the major Buddhist temples in Xiniu Hezhou on extremely legitimate and aboveboard grounds, and thus obtain this extremely core information.
If there were no Tianluyuan, your heavenly generals from Xitianfu would always go to various major temples to inspect and investigate, which would definitely arouse the vigilance and concealment of those Buddhist temples.
But things were different now. With the Tianluyuan in their name, the Generals of Destroying Altars and Destroying Temples could go to major Buddhist temples and call out names at any time. If the monks they called didn't show up, the abbot or the headmaster would have to give a reason, otherwise the Tianluyuan would "investigate" your temple. After all, how could a Buddhist deity just disappear without a trace? They were trying to stir up trouble, weren't they?
Therefore, those Buddhist temples did not dare to conceal the fact that such a large number of true immortals disappeared, and no matter how good the excuse you made up, you could not get away with it.
Besides, Buddhist precepts forbid "telling lies". The full name of Tianluyuan is "Tian Tiao Jie Lu Yuan". It is not only responsible for the heavenly rules, but also for Buddhist precepts. If you dare to violate the Buddhist precepts, Tianluyuan can still deal with you.
