Journey to the West: From the Primordial Era

Chapter 139: Does the Chan Sect support the Marquis of Qingzhou or the Marquis of Xiqi?

Kunlun Mountain is the birthplace of the Chan school.

"A decree to recruit talented people? No restrictions on family background, only the best can be appointed? This is truly a first! The Qingzhou Marquis Xuanzong that Senior Brother mentioned is quite a wise ruler... It's a pity that this decree can only be implemented among the princes, and the Great Shang Dynasty cannot use it!"

After hearing the order to recruit talents, Jiang Ziya immediately made a judgment in his heart.

He was already thirty-two years old, and after practicing here for more than ten years, he gradually became an old man in his fifties or sixties. His mind had already matured, and he had a thorough understanding of the situation in the Shang Dynasty. If he had no background and no one to recommend him, it would be impossible for him to stand out in Chaoge.

The generals, ministers, and officials in the court all have aristocratic blood and are most particular about their origins.

If Chaoge wants to issue a decree to recruit talents, it will inevitably be rejected by these vested interests. If it is forcefully implemented, it may even lead to alienation between generals and ministers and instability in the government!

On the contrary, the eight hundred garrisons guarding Chaoge can freely decide matters within their borders without having to pay attention to Chaoge's control. As long as the princes are determined and enforce it, the order to recruit talents will surely greatly enhance their power.

In Jiang Ziya's view, as long as the Qingzhou Xuan clan can hold on, it won't take long for their power to increase greatly and catch up with Dong Lu.

When Jiang Ziya thought about Qingzhou's recruitment order, which did not limit people's background, he could not help but reveal a trace of yearning in his eyes...

Jiang Ziya was very tactful. When Daoxing Tianzun was about to reach Yuxu Palace, he took the initiative to end the greetings and returned to the mountains on both sides to fetch water and plant peaches.

He and those registered disciples constantly carried water and planted peaches in order to strengthen their bodies and practice the body-building methods of the Chan sect through constant training.

Although those who have mastered the body-building method cannot be compared with the cultivators who specialize in the profound skills of the flesh, they can still help them build the foundation of qi and blood and reach the basis for achieving the Tao of True Immortality.

"Uncle Daoxing! The master and Uncle Guangcheng are waiting in the hall. Please follow me!"

At this time, a boy in white came in front of Daoxing Tianzun and Wei Hu. This was the White Crane Boy from Yuxu Palace. He worshipped the Nanji Xianweng, the chief steward of Yuxu Palace, as his master and had followed Yuanshi Tianzun for many years.

"Thank you, nephew!"

Daoxing Tianzun nodded slightly and walked into Yuxu Palace with Wei Hu.

"Disciple pays homage to Master!"

"Greetings to the Master..."

After entering the main hall, Daoxing Tianzun and Wei Hu bowed down immediately. On the cloud bed in the main hall, Yuanshi Tianzun opened his eyes slightly. There was an acre of clear light above his head, and there was a faint chaotic airflow that gathered and dispersed from time to time. The airflow was like sword energy, sharp and unmatched.

Three golden lotuses transformed into auspicious cloud necklaces, radiating colorful light. A white jade Ruyi was held up by the golden lotuses, rising and falling in the clear light.

"Get up!"

Yuanshi Tianzun had an indifferent expression and his eyes fell on Wei Hu. The moment he saw him, information related to Wei Hu surged into the saint's mind.

Wei Hu's qualifications and character were clearly visible to the saint.

"This is your disciple. Not bad! He will become a pillar of the Chan Sect in the future!"

Wei Hu will be known as the Quanzhen guardian of the three religions in the future. He will have a very high status both in Taoism and Buddhism. Yuanshi Tianzun is quite satisfied with such a talent.

When accepting disciples, the Chan school has always paid attention to the aptitude of the students.

If one's aptitude is extraordinary, one will be able to receive great training and will be able to proceed smoothly in the practice of immortality. If one's aptitude is not good, one will receive less attention.

Among the three generations of disciples of the Chan sect in the future, only Yang Jian and Wei Hu are the most valued... The other disciples, whether it is Nezha or Huang Tianhua, cannot compare with these two.

Seeing that his master was quite satisfied with Wei Hu, Daoxing Tianzun couldn't help but show his joy.

Next to Yuanshi Tianzun stood a man in a yellow Taoist robe. He had a stern and extraordinary appearance, wore a purple ribbon fairy robe, and had a small bronze bell hanging around his waist.

He is the head of the second generation of disciples of the Chan sect, Guangchengzi, the bell-ringing immortal of Yuxu Palace.

He had a very good relationship with Daoxing Tianzun, and was sincerely happy for his fellow apprentice brother when he saw that he had accepted a good disciple.

"Disciple, please step back first!"

Daoxing Tianzun brought Wei Hu to pay homage to Yuanshi Tianzun, mainly to let him show his face in front of the saint and leave an impression. After achieving the goal, he immediately let Wei Hu leave.

"Master, on my way back this time, I passed by Qingzhou and happened to encounter something..."

The matter of Linzi Feng Yuan's Qi Yun Ru Zhen Long was more important, so Daoxing Tianzun waited until his disciple left and immediately began to report it in a serious manner. He told everything he had discovered in Qingzhou in detail.

"The energy transforms into a real dragon? What a coincidence?"

As soon as Daoxing Tianzun finished speaking, Guangchengzi next to him couldn't help himself.

"Junior brother discovered in Qingzhou that the son of the Marquis of Qingzhou had his luck condensed into a real dragon. Junior brother Lingbao also discovered that the luck of Xiqi had condensed into a fire phoenix. The phoenix was singing in Mount Qishan..." Guangchengzi said hurriedly.

"Hmm? Fengming Qishan, there is such a thing?"

Daoxing Tianzun was also shocked when he suddenly heard Guangchengzi's words.

People have destiny, and countries have national fortune. Only when a force and a country have great potential and strength, coupled with political stability and people's harmony, can the national fortune be condensed into a national guardian beast. The destiny of ordinary forces can only form an illusion.

This guardian beast can protect the country's fortune and suppress demons and monsters. When the country is prosperous, it can even drive away immortals and gods.

However, the guardian beasts also have levels.

For example, the real dragon and the fire phoenix are both top-notch mythical beasts, even better than the black bird, the guardian beast of the Shang Dynasty.

If it had not been discovered that Qingzhou Hou Xuanzong had the destiny of a true dragon, Daoxing Tianzun would definitely have chosen Xiqi as the first choice for the future Human Emperor after hearing about Fengming Qishan.

"Yes, my master has ordered me to ring the golden bell and summon my fellow disciples to prepare to talk about the Conferred God event in the near future!"

While Guangchengzi and Daoxing Tianzun were talking, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly and had quietly used his calculus method to calculate the Xuanzong mentioned by his disciple.

There was a slight flash of light in Tianzun's eyes, and in the light, pictures appeared quickly. Soon, he saw a figure in the east with five-colored fairy light shining all over his body across the endless void.

"Brother, you are my disciple's grandson, Xuandu's direct disciple, Xuanzong, the eldest son of Xuankong, the patriarch of the Xuan clan... Qingzhou Hou still has such a strong destiny, and his potential is not small!"

The Chan Sect is known for following the will of heaven and the will of man. If it wants to win the Conferred Gods Battle, it needs to plan ahead. With the name of punishing evil on behalf of heaven, it can gain a three-point advantage against the Jie Sect.

Finding the future Human Emperor is both important and unimportant to the saint.

After all, what the saints care about is the Conferred God War, not the replacement of emperors in the human world. If this Conferred God War did not require the help of the change of dynasties in the human world to promote it, Yuanshi Tianzun would not care about the next emperor at all...

Ever since the Three Emperors of the human race returned to the throne, the subsequent emperors of the human race are no longer important. When they are in power, they can still mobilize the fortune of the human race. Once they abdicate, all they will gain is merit for humanity, and they can no longer become quasi-saints overnight like the Three Emperors.

“Master, Qingzhou has great potential, and Qingzhou Hou Xuanzong is a wise leader. In addition, Qingzhou Hou’s father is Xuankong. They have a great connection with Xuandu. Xuandu itself is from the Xuan clan. Although Xiqi is powerful, it is too conspicuous and is heavily suppressed by the Shang Dynasty. It is as difficult as ascending to heaven to break through the three mountains and five barriers! From my point of view, the future emperor is very likely to come from Qingzhou…”

Daoxing Tianzun was the first to discover the fate of the Xuan clan, and he even met with Qingzhou Hou in person to build a relationship with him.

The more Daoxing Tianzun paid, the more he didn't want the Chan sect to give up Qingzhou.

If the Chan sect chose Qingzhou, then he, as the first disciple to discover the Xuan clan, would undoubtedly have made the greatest contribution!

"Don't be anxious, Junior Brother. We need all the Junior Brothers to gather together before we can discuss this matter!"

Guang Chengzi said.

The Chan Sect is one of the three religions of the Saint Sect, and it is high and mighty. Both Qingzhou and Xiqi are merely tools for them to promote the Conferred God War.

In Guangchengzi's opinion, it doesn't matter which one you choose.

If it is really difficult to decide, then just choose both forces and send some disciples to assist. Anyway, whether it is Xiqi or Qingzhou, if they want a new emperor, they have to deal with the Great Shang Dynasty.

The two forces were in the east and west, and there was no border between them before they marched into Chaoge, so there was no need to worry about internal strife.

As for what will happen to Xiqi in the west and Xuan clan in the east after they defeat Chaoge, this is not a problem that their Chan sect is concerned about.
