Chapter 354: The Problems of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect

It was because he absorbed a strand of essence from each of his two younger brothers that Taiqing Laozi felt guilty when facing his two younger brothers! This also made Taiqing Laozi try his best to satisfy the requests of his two younger brothers!

After waking up from the state of fusion of primordial spirits, Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian fell into silence. To be honest, they both didn't know how to face their eldest brother at this moment!

After a period of silence, Taiqing Laozi finally broke the silence: "Tianzun, I wonder if the lack of my brother's origin will affect their future path?"

"Naturally, they are affected. If they want to achieve the Dao of Hunyuan, they must ensure that their own Hunyuan remains the same. The lack of their origin makes their personalities somewhat extreme. Their extreme personalities make it easy for them to generalize when they comprehend the Dao. If they cannot improve their personality problems, then the Three Pure Ones are likely to become enemies!"

When he learned that the origins of Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian were missing, Bai Zhen understood why, according to the original trajectory, the two had become enemies, making "Red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves, the Three Purities are originally one family" a joke!

Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian are missing their original origins, and their temperaments will become extreme. Their current state is not so bad. With the killing of the three corpses, the lack of good and evil makes the extreme degree of their temperaments even more serious.

However, in the quasi-saint period, they were not yet invincible in the world, so it was necessary for them to stick together for warmth! Therefore, even if there were conflicts between Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian, they would tolerate each other!

Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian both became saints after beheading the two corpses, guided by the merits of the Heavenly Dao in establishing their religions and based on their own merits of creating the world!

Although merit can elevate a living being's cultivation, it is not something that can be achieved by practicing step by step and down to earth. The foundation is not very solid, the vision is not broad enough, the doctrines of the religion are not broad enough, and the tolerance is weak, making it difficult to tolerate sects that are contrary to their own doctrines!

Doctrine is the foundation of a religion, and if the doctrine is not high enough, it will cause various problems within the sect. For example, why did Yuanshi Tianzun's teaching of Chan fall apart directly after his great victory at the end of the Conferred God Tribulation?

Apart from the instigation of the deputy leader, Taoist Master Ran Deng, the reason is that this sect does not clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. There is no reward for merit and no punishment for faults. All matters within the sect are handled based on the will of Yuanshi Tianzun.

To give the simplest example, it is no problem for Yuanshi Tianzun to use one of the magical treasures in the hands of his favorite disciples or throw away another. But for the disciples that Yuanshi Tianzun dislikes, such as Huanglong Zhenren, he is a disciple with "three nothings". Apart from Huanglong's master and the title of Twelve Golden Immortals, what other points can show that Huanglong is a disciple of the Chan sect?

As for the teachings of Jiejiao, it is to teach everyone and to seize a ray of hope from the sky. To be honest, Bai Zhen really appreciates the teachings of Jiejiao, but the standard of Jiejiao's disciples is a bit too arbitrary. As long as there are creatures who are willing to learn and have a connection with Jiejiao, they can enter Jiejiao to practice!

This standard is very bad in Bai Zhen's opinion. After all, in the current atmosphere, all creatures in the prehistoric world can be said to have a heart towards the Tao. In this way, anyone who has a connection with Jiejiao can join Jiejiao.

When recruiting disciples, Tongtian did not distinguish between good and bad. Both the good and the bad could join Jiejiao. It was these guys who loved to fight and be aggressive who took advantage of Jiejiao's reputation to bully others and cause more injustice in the prehistoric world.

Originally, Jie Religion did not have any magical treasure to suppress its luck, so its luck was not very stable. The karma caused by these grievances corroded Jie Religion's overall luck, making it look bright and beautiful on the surface. If it were not for Master Tongtian suppressing Jie Religion with himself, the entire Jie Religion might have been like a mirage in the water, and would have completely collapsed at the slightest touch!

However, even with the suppression of the saints, they still cannot hold out for long. After all, a saint does not go against heaven, and if he goes against heaven, he is not a saint. Cause and effect karma is the means by which heaven governs the wilderness. If a saint insists on his own way and isolates those guys who are entangled in karma from danger, he is going against the will of heaven, and it is only a matter of time before he is knocked down from the throne!

In addition to the problems of each sect, there are also problems between sects. The resources of the prehistoric world are limited. The stronger a sect is, the more resources it possesses. The remaining sects will naturally be weaker and have fewer resources. For those limited resources, fights will definitely break out between sects!

Although the Jie Sect is a mixed bag, it was indeed the largest sect in the prehistoric times before the Conferred Gods. The Chen Sect only had a dozen or so creatures, which were just a few big cats and small cats compared to the Jie Sect. To put it bluntly, if there was no participation of the saints, the Jie Sect would have beaten the Chen Sect into a grandson.

The conflicting doctrines would make the disciples of the orthodox sect have no good feelings towards the evil sect, not to mention that Yuanshi Tianzun was arrogant and looked down on the disciples of the evil sect. As the saying goes, what goes up must come down. Yuanshi Tianzun looked down on the disciples of the evil sect, so the disciples of the orthodox sect would follow suit. It was only normal for the orthodox sect and the evil sect to have conflicts!

If it were just this, the conflict could still be controlled within a certain range, but in order to compete for the limited resources in the prehistoric world, it is only a matter of time before the Jiejiao and the Chenjiao fight to the death!

Let's get back to the point. After hearing Bai Zhen's words, Taiqing Laozi, the culprit, bent even lower. To be honest, Taiqing Laozi never expected that the three brothers would one day become enemies!

"Tianzun, I wonder why you said that we would become enemies?"

"I can only say that it is God's will! You three pure ones are the incarnations of Pangu's original spirit, and each of you is born with one degree of merit in creating the world. No matter how unpromising you are, you can still become a saint in the future with your merit! Heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs. You are too strong, affecting the balance of the prehistoric world. If you are not separated, how many people in the prehistoric world can be your opponents?"

"The way of heaven emphasizes balance?" Taiqing Laozi muttered to himself.

After thinking for a long time, the Three Pure Ones understood why the Heavenly Dao wanted them to break up, but they were unwilling to accept it and did not want to completely obey the Heavenly Dao. Then Tongtian asked, "Tianzun, is there any way to change this outcome?"

"Of course there is. As long as you have a mutual understanding with each other, Taiqing, no matter how much you mediate, as long as there are no conflicts among you, then even if the Heavenly Dao uses more conspiracies and tricks, it still cannot sow discord between the three of you brothers!"

Listening to Bai Zhen's words, Sanqing seemed to be thinking about something. They were originally one, and it was not difficult for them to communicate with each other's minds. The only thing they were afraid of was that if they really figured it out, they would no longer be themselves, and that would be the end of them!
