Chapter 387 The Three Religions Gather to Celebrate a Grand Event!
Upon seeing this commotion, the members of the Chan Sect were startled and all turned to look at the crack in the void.
Immediately afterwards, figures emerged one after another from the crack.
The leader was none other than the Tongtian Sect Leader.
He stood in the void, his long robe fluttering in the wind, surrounded by sword energy and the light of the Shangqing Immortal Realm.
He looked like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully revealed.
Behind the Tongtian Sect Leader was a group of Jie Sect disciples.
Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Jinling, Holy Mother Wudang, Holy Mother Guiling, Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortals, the Seven Immortal Attendants, the Ten Heavenly Lords...
Chen Changsheng was naturally among them, following closely behind Zhao Gongming.
Although the Jie Sect had already selected its participants for this Three Religions Grand Competition on Jin'ao Island.
However, the Tongtian Sect Leader still brought along his other disciples.
The reason for this was to allow other disciples to come and cheer on the disciples of the Jie Sect who were participating in the competition.
Among the members of the Chan Sect, Yang Jian's gaze swept quickly across the crowd.
He quickly focused his attention on Chen Changsheng, who was closely following behind Zhao Gongming.
"My brother-in-law really came!"
Yang Jian was overjoyed to see Chen Changsheng among the Jie Sect members.
If it weren't for the presence of many elders from the Chan Sect, he would have rushed up to greet Chen Changsheng long ago.
"I just don't know."
Will my brother-in-law appear at the Three Religions Competition this time?
"Actually, it would be nice to have a friendly spar with him."
Yang Jian muttered to himself, his heart filled with anticipation, but he couldn't discern what level of cultivation Chen Changsheng was currently at!
At the same time, Manjushri Bodhisattva's gaze swept around for a while before settling on Chen Changsheng.
Unlike Yang Jian, Manjushri's eyes were fierce, and his heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness.
Previously, when he passed over Chentang Pass, he sensed something and realized that there was a predestined relationship between him and his master in the General's Mansion in Chentang Pass.
Then, Manjushri descended from the clouds and came down to the General's Mansion.
Originally, Manjushri Heavenly Venerable thought that with his status as one of the Twelve Immortals of the Chan Sect and his cultivation at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, it would be an easy matter to take Jinzha, the son of Li Jing and his wife, as his disciple.
Unexpectedly, Li Jing and his wife told them that their son Jinzha already had a master.
Manjushri was naturally displeased with this.
After all, this was a divine guidance, indicating that he and Jinzha had a master-disciple relationship.
After his attempts to persuade him failed, Manjushri Bodhisattva attempted to forcibly accept Jinzha as his disciple.
Just then, Chen Changsheng arrived at Chentang Pass.
Upon learning that Chen Changsheng was Jinzha's master, Manjushri Bodhisattva spoke to Chen Changsheng, hoping that Chen Changsheng would sever his master-disciple relationship with Jinzha and become his disciple.
Chen Changsheng refused, and the two then engaged in a magical duel in the sky above Chentang Pass.
Originally, Venerable Manjushri thought that with his cultivation at the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, crushing Chen Changsheng, a newly promoted Great Luo Immortal, would be a piece of cake.
Little did anyone know that after a battle, Manjushri realized that Chen Changsheng's strength could not be measured by his cultivation level.
In the end, Manjushri was no match for him and had to flee.
He couldn't let go of this matter; it had even become an obsession.
Only by defeating Chen Changsheng can his Dao heart be made to flow smoothly.
"That kid really did come too."
"I wonder if he will participate in this Three Religions Competition?"
Manjushri muttered to himself, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit as he looked at Chen Changsheng.
Just as the members of the Chan Sect were paying attention to the arrival of the Jie Sect, the Tongtian Sect Leader had already led a group of Jie Sect disciples down from the clouds and landed in the sky above the square outside the Jade Void Palace.
After settling down, Tongtian turned his gaze to the towering figure, bowed, and said:
"Senior Brother Yuanshi."
"Tongtian led a group of disciples from the Jie Sect to visit."
As soon as Tongtian finished speaking, a response immediately came from within the Jade Void Palace:
"Junior Brother Tongtian, how have you been?"
As they spoke, a terrifying aura suddenly emanated from within the Jade Void Palace.
Immediately afterwards, a streak of light swept out from the Jade Void Palace.
Upon closer inspection, a figure had already darted out.
The newcomer was dressed in a purple robe with the Eight Trigrams, holding a jade scepter with three treasures in his hand. His body was surrounded by a pure and ethereal light, exuding an awe-inspiring and solemn aura that made people dare not look directly at him.
Who else could it be but Yuanshi Tianzun?
Upon seeing Yuanshi Tianzun appear, Tongtian Jiaozhu remained calm and gave a slight bow as a form of greeting.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Yuanshi!"
The Primordial Celestial Venerable smiled calmly, nodded in return, and said politely:
"You're too kind, junior brother!"
Having said that, Yuanshi Tianzun glanced around at the group of Jiejiao disciples behind Tongtian Jiaozhu and nodded slightly.
"My junior brother's disciples are truly a treasure trove of talent!"
At a cursory glance, Yuanshi Tianzun had already noticed that there were quite a few Great Luo Golden Immortals among the disciples of the Jie Sect.
Besides these, there are two disciples with the cultivation level of Quasi-Saint.
"These creatures of the Jie Sect, who are born from eggs and have fur and horns, are quite fortunate; they have all achieved great success in their cultivation."
"Nowadays, he has even moved his dojo to Zifu Prefecture."
Yuanshi Tianzun sighed inwardly, feeling displeased as he recalled that the Jie Sect had moved to Zifu Prefecture.
After all, although Kunlun Mountain, where the Chan Sect is located, is not bad, it is still inferior to Zifu Prefecture.
The key point is that the area of Kunlun Mountain is only so big, and many disciples of the Chan Sect established their temples outside of Kunlun Mountain.
The Jie Sect is different. Now the entire sect has moved to Zifu Prefecture, and in terms of cohesion, it is far superior to the Chan Sect.
Upon hearing Yuanshi's words, the Tongtian Sect Leader remained calm and said indifferently:
"Have you not yet met the Primordial Sage?"
Upon hearing Tongtian's words, all the disciples of the Jie Sect bowed respectfully to Yuanshi Tianzun and shouted in unison:
"Greetings, Master Yuanshi!"
"Greetings to the Primordial Sage!"
Yuanshi Tianzun didn't pay any attention to this. He turned his gaze and gave a wink to the disciples of the Chan Sect.
Receiving the gaze of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, many disciples of the Chan Sect bowed respectfully to Tongtian.
"Greetings, Master Tongtian (the Sage)!"
The Master of Heaven smiled faintly and said nothing more.
Despite their seemingly harmonious relationship, he and Yuanshi Tianzun had actually been engaged in a long and open struggle for power.
After all, it was precisely because their doctrines conflicted that the Three Pure Ones split up.
The Supreme Sage left Kunlun and established a new Taoist temple on Shouyang Mountain.
Meanwhile, the Tongtian Sect Leader went to the East Sea and found Jin'ao Island, which became the foundation of the Jie Sect!
At this moment, the disciples of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect all looked at each other, their eyes filled with resentment.
At that moment, a strange movement suddenly occurred in another part of the void.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, another loud bang echoed through the void!
As everyone looked up, they saw a blue divine ox riding on auspicious clouds slowly approaching from the horizon.
The green ox was surrounded by a flowing green light, and its horns were like two curved knives. Its aura was unfathomable!
