My construction materials are weird

Because they were disliked, they were especially cautious in everything they did.

Most importantly, the Buddhist sect admitted that what they had done before was not good. This was crucial because only by recognizing their own shortcomings could they change. Otherwise, if it was just others' opinions, they would not actively change.

Similarly, as one of the Four Great Sects, they were like children from poor families, so they were especially stable and cautious, enduring and yielding in every situation, unless it was a fundamental issue.

Over the past ten years, the Buddhist sect has changed people's perception of them and become a truly virtuous internal structure.

This structure meant that as long as you were truly kind and possessed great love, the Buddhist sect's fortune would actively flow towards you. You would receive the blessing of fortune, leading to rapid progress in your cultivation.

Moreover, even after death, you would receive protection and blessings in hell.

This was the blessing of benefits, coupled with the preceding propaganda blessing. With the internal and external combination of mutual virtuousness, how could they not improve?

For example, as everyone knows, the strongest of the Four Superpowers was the Confucian School, the second was the Taoist School, the third was the Buddhist sect, and the fourth was the Martial Dao Alliance.

It has been like this for so many years, and there has been no change.

However, in hell, which was the small Underworld hell opened up by Xuan Huang, the Buddhist sect was the strongest.

The second was the Taoist School, the third was the Confucian School, and the fourth was the Martial Dao Alliance, which, excluding the Martial Dao Alliance, was almost the opposite of the human world.

It could be said to be an unintentional result. As mentioned earlier, monks with merit would receive the protection of the Buddhist sect's fortune even after death.

Therefore, the Buddhist sect's fortune flowed to the Underworld hell, which fundamentally surpassed the other three families in terms of ghost cultivators.

In general, the three families' investment could not compare to the Buddhist sect's. Although the Underworld hell was valued with the passage of time, the premise of valuing it was not to harm the development of the human world.

The Buddhist sect's rules were like this: as long as the soul was not scattered, a high monk, whether alive or dead, would receive the protection of the Buddhist sect's virtuous fortune, and this could not be changed.

This rigid rule was like this, surpassing the premise of the three families not harming the human world.

This was the reason for the Buddhist sect's strength in the Underworld hell.

Speaking of the Underworld hell, it has also made great progress in the past ten years.

The main driving force came from the initial integration of myriad spirits into Qingyun Mountain. Qingyun Mountain was no longer a simple sacred mountain.

It was already a fusion of countless treasures, such as the innate spiritual vein, which was currently at the third level—a third-level innate spiritual vein.

For example, the integration of Wraith Shadow, which took ten years to completely become Qingyun Mountain's shadow, was also a third-level limit ability.

There was also the integration of Purgatory, the rooting of the Jianmu tree, and so on.

With such opportunities and good fortune, how could Qingyun Mountain be an ordinary mountain?

Over the past ten years, the entire mountain range, spanning thousands of miles, has completely transformed into first-order transcendent matter in essence.

This was the overall situation. Some special places, or special spirit stones, spirit herbs, spirit springs, etc., were already of second-order essence.

The most core area where Xuan Huang was located had even reached the third-order essence.

One could imagine how great the change was. This was not a small magic weapon, but a giant mountain range.

Among them, the driving force of the innate spiritual energy, the driving force of the Jianmu three brothers' domain, and the driving force of the integration of myriad spirits played a crucial role.

Although it was previously called a sacred ground, it could not be considered a true sacred ground.

But now, it completely deserved the title of Immortal Mountain.

Purgatory also benefited from this. The area of the eighteen levels of hell has become almost infinite. Of course, it was not truly infinite, but infinite under the illusion of space.

In fact, it was also infinite, unless the level exceeded Purgatory too much and could see through this illusion. Otherwise, in the eyes of cultivators, it was infinitely vast.

In the first level of the region, the cultivators who have died in the past ten years, except for those whose souls were scattered, have all entered this place.

Not to mention those with weak wills who could not activate the token at the moment of death.

Moreover, there was another change: in addition to the souls of cultivators who died in Purgatory, there were other soul beings.

Some were spirit beasts, and spirit beasts were the most numerous.

They were all subordinates of Xuan Huang, and spirit beasts naturally had this treatment, but their previous cultivation and wisdom were not enough to be like human cultivators.

But in the past five years, this has changed.

There were also some spirit beasts of cultivators. After death, because their souls were controlled by cultivators, as long as their own strength was sufficient, they could be invested into Purgatory.

Many cultivators had deep feelings for their spirit beasts, and even if it cost them something, they would put their spirit beasts into Purgatory.

Even if the soul no longer belonged to them after entering Purgatory and the restrictions were lifted by Purgatory, they would not hesitate.

They had served them for a lifetime, giving them a new life of freedom.

Many cultivators would do this.

In addition to spirit beasts, ghost cultivators were not idle either. They were also actively taking on responsibilities, such as some extremely Yin places, which were very suitable for them to develop.

However, there was a prerequisite: the ghost cultivator's level needed to reach the first-order transcendence before they could do so.

Otherwise, appearing in the human world would be distorted by the powerful will of heaven and become strange, even if they had comprehended Xuan Huang's "Myriad Tribulations Yin Spirit Divine Thunder Scripture."

Here, the difference could be seen.

As long as human beings comprehended Xuan Huang's visualization diagram, they could enter the rank.

But for Yin spirits, they must be at the transcendent level to be able to move in the mortal world for a short time. There was a big difference.

Just like in a normal world, it was difficult for Yin spirits to survive in the human world, unless they were evil spirits, resentful spirits, fierce spirits, etc., that is, Yin spirits that had reached a certain level.

Currently, in the small Underworld hell, many ghost cultivators have reached the level of transcendents.

They have been actively participating in human activities for a long time. Some special secret realms, etc., were all led by them.

Don't think that death is the end of everything. You have to work hard even after death, and you have to work hard.

Qingyun Mountain was such a place. If you don't participate, you have no value and are easily forgotten.

The Buddhist sect, which was an unintentional result, was the strongest force in the Underworld, and has even begun to give back to the human world. The Buddhist sect did not expect this.

They, who were taking every step carefully, were one of the few major forces that Sun Tong praised many times.

This time was no exception, and they received praise again.

Even though Minghui was very calm, he could not hide the joy in his heart.

Don't underestimate such praise. Although it would cause public outrage, which was a bad aspect.

But what about the good aspects?

The good aspect was that in the repeated praise, the reputation of the Buddhist sect gradually improved, almost getting back on track.

This was the great name represented by the Hall of Merit.

Who would dare to say that the Buddhist sect harbored filth and used their previous scandals to slander them? They could strongly refute it.

【Bold evildoer, even Chief Steward Sun of the Hall of Merit praises my Buddhist sect, and even Master Xuan says we are still acceptable. How dare you say that my Buddhist sect harbors filth? Do you think Chief Steward Sun is not good at recognizing people? Evildoer, take this, Great Might Heavenly Dragon!】

This was in many situations, the Buddhist sect forcefully refuted.

Those who were refuted would be in a panic, saying it out of habit, forgetting Chief Steward Sun's praise for the Buddhist sect.

Even the morality was untenable.

It's very effective. Buddhism has turned around many unfavorable situations because of this.

Once again praised by Chief Steward Sun, Minghui knew that Buddhism had truly improved after his ten years of effort and bloody suppression.

The reason for using the term 'bloody suppression' is because it is a true description.

Outwardly, Buddhism is very kind, tolerant, and restrained, but internally, especially towards some parasites, they have zero tolerance and are extremely cruel.

Death is the easiest thing. Don't even think about entering the underworld. The underworld is a place only virtuous monks of Buddhism can go after death, not a place to accommodate you pests.

Therefore, making mistakes in Buddhism is very serious, resulting in direct soul destruction.

This continuous high pressure and internal 'bloody suppression' over the past ten years have made Buddhism better.

… …

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

"Chief Steward, my Buddhism has a special report."

"Speak."

"Yes!" Minghui said, "My junior brother Mingshan, after more than seven years of hard work, has completely pacified the demon world. Furthermore, during the process of sweeping the demons, he discovered human clansmen in that world. After the efforts of Buddhism, it has been discovered that this world is a Great World."

Minghui paused slightly at this point.

Not a single mistake, all first drafts, all internal, all inclusive, all present, all seen!

Leaving Sun Tong time to think.

"Swept clean? I heard in your previous report that there were Tier 3 Great Demons in that world. How were they swept clean?" Sun Tong asked.

"Reporting to the Chief Steward, it was with the help of the demon world… no, it should be called the Canglan Realm. We united with the human cultivators of the Canglan Realm to wipe out the demons connecting to the main world in one fell swoop, turning the connection channel into one controlled by our humans."

Sun Tong nodded in understanding. So that was it.

The so-called Great World is a term for large worlds. Currently, there are not many small worlds that can be called Great Worlds. Ji Zhongfu's God and Demon World counts as one, the Left Dao's Immortal Cultivation World counts as one, and the Extraterritorial Martial Dao World counts as one.

At most, Qingyun Mountain knows about a dozen Great Worlds.

The standard configuration for a Great World, in addition to a vast area, also includes Tier 5 peak experts, and even Tier 6 experts.

Only in this way can it be called a Great World.

Another significant characteristic is that even after the decline of the Revival of Myriad Worlds, these Great Worlds still have Tier 3 existences.

These Tier 3s are all newly risen after the Great Destruction, whether they are magic treasure cultivators or special existences, they are all Tier 3 experts.

Ordinary worlds simply do not have such a foundation.

Moreover, the foundation is something that cannot be faked.

Great Worlds almost all have new Tier 3s born. The foundation of medium-sized worlds can currently only create newly born Tier 2 cultivators, and small worlds can only create Tier 1 transcendents after the Great Destruction.

Although many areas have reached the designation of small worlds, no transcendent beings have been born since the Great Destruction.

There are many such small worlds.

Below small worlds are secret realms.

Large secret realms, medium secret realms, small secret realms, etc., as well as terminal secret realms.

These standards and designations have been perfected in the last five years and have formed a systematic nomenclature.

"How are the human cultivators of this… Canglan Realm?" Sun Tong asked.

"Chief Steward, under the efforts of my Buddhism, this world is leaning towards Qingyun Mountain, hoping to become True Cultivators," Minghui said proudly.

This is inseparable from the 'deception' of my junior brother. My little junior brother has really grown up and can take charge of one side.

'Deception'? No, it's persuasion. Persuading such a Great World to switch allegiance to Qingyun Mountain is not simple.

It is a great achievement.

This great achievement is the increase in the number of secret manuals, the growth in the number of cultivators, and the opening of a world's foundation to Qingyun Mountain, etc.

Don't underestimate the defection of a world, especially a Great World like this.

It is equivalent to a Great World civilization and foundation opening up to Qingyun Mountain.

Indeed, Qingyun Mountain does not lack so-called cultivation methods. Having Master Xuan's three fundamental methods is better than everything else; the rest are just embellishments.

But that doesn't mean they are not important.

What kind of person is Master Xuan? He doesn't need it, but cultivators do. Cultivators are developing so fast, and they can create complete cultivation methods in ten years, and the types and quantities are increasing. Don't think they are generated out of thin air, right?

That is not the case.

The birth of these cultivation methods is due to cultivators browsing countless secret manuals, cultivation methods, etc.

Plus their own talents, they were created.

And the other secret manuals and cultivation methods that they comprehended come from the foundations of countless small worlds.

"Not bad. Well done," Sun Tong said with satisfaction. "What does Buddhism want?"

"We dare not. My Buddhism has no requirements. Master Xuan has already been so kind to us that it is difficult to repay… The reason why this disciple is reporting is that the high-level officials of this world will come to Qingyun Mountain Holy Land to worship and comprehend after the New Year, and I hope you will approve it."

"I agree," Sun Tong replied simply.

Similar to Ji Zhongfu bringing high-level officials to Qingyun Mountain for inspection before.

The inspection is to see if it is what they think, and to decide whether to truly submit.

This is human nature. Even if the little monk Mingshan deceives them very well, it is inevitable that they will come to see the so-called True Cultivators and Xuanhuang Dao Ancestor in person.

And if you want such a group to come to Qingyun Mountain, you need the approval of the Merit Hall.

It is not possible for just anyone to come to Qingyun Mountain for on-the-spot inspections. Some people with weak strength are not qualified.

Plus, those who come are also humans, so they can pass.

If those who come are not humans, but aliens, it won't work no matter how strong they are.

Foreigners are not qualified to come to Qingyun Mountain for on-the-spot inspections.

"In addition… …"

Having obtained the Chief Steward's agreement, Minghui was not surprised. Instead, he turned around and looked at everyone present and said, "In addition, although my Buddhism is the main developer of the Canglan Realm, Buddhism could not have achieved this without the support of all fellow Daoists. My Buddhism has decided to open this world, treating all fellow Daoists equally. Everyone can decide whether or not to participate, and my Buddhism will never set any barriers to stop you."

The crowd was stunned when they heard this.

This is interesting. I thought Buddhism planned to monopolize a Great World.

I didn't expect the monks… no, the masters, to be so open-minded.

As expected of Buddhist masters, masters are masters.

They are open-minded in their work.

As for what they said about not being able to do without everyone's help, don't take it seriously. This is just their politeness. When did we help Buddhism open up the Canglan Realm?

The masters are not only noble in their actions, but also pleasant in their words.

"It's not that this poor monk is being polite, but the truth is so. The reason why Junior Brother Mingshan was able to persuade the fellow Daoists of the Canglan Realm is inseparable from everyone's achievements, such as the Confucian School's spirit talismans, the Taoist School's elixirs, the Martial Dao Alliance's natal magic weapons, etc.… It is precisely because of these powerful methods that the Canglan Realm is sincerely convinced."

They had no choice but to accept it. The masters really gave reasons.

Everyone thought about it, and it was true.

The submission of the Canglan Realm was indeed because they had seen many unheard-of methods.

And these methods are the result of the joint efforts of the entire Qingyun Mountain cultivation world.
