Chapter 218: Cultivation of the Whole Nation
"The best strategy..."

Emperor Ziwei paused, and said in a cold tone: "I think that the Gu Tianmo has already become powerful and it is difficult to subdue him without thunderbolt means, so I ask Your Majesty to ask the Three Pure Ones to kill the Tianmo and put an end to the trouble forever!"

Please Sanqing?
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Rumor has it that Sanqing has reached the level of a saint. If he is willing to take action, no matter how strange Gu Yunli's magical powers are, he will die.

However, the Three Pure Ones are not easy to invite.

At least, they haven't seen the Three Pure Ones for a thousand years. No one knows where the Three Pure Ones have gone?
Some people say that he has gone to the game world;

Some people also say that it is to go to the vast world above the nine layers of clouds.

Looking at the secret world of time and space on the Internet, it is possible that the Three Pure Ones are on a certain star at this moment, gazing at Middle-earth from afar.

Taiyin Xingjun frowned and said, "Isn't it an exaggeration to disturb the Three Pure Ones just for a demon from outside the domain?"

Emperor Ziwei sneered, "This demon from outside the realm has been floating in the sight of all living beings. In less than ten years, he has ascended to the Golden Immortal and attained the Bodhisattva. If he is given another ten years, it is not impossible for him to ascend to the Daluo and attain the Buddhahood. A thousand-mile dam is breached by an ant hole. Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Emperor Qingxu echoed, "Fellow Daoist Ziwei is right. Using thunderous means to kill all the villains is a quick and decisive move!"

The Jade Emperor said nothing, but looked at the Three Officials with a strange look in his eyes.

As the true ruler of the Immortal Court, he always felt that there was something else behind these people's words, and the best strategy was more like a test.

It should be noted that his throne came from the support of the Three Pure Ones.

The Three Pure Ones haven't appeared for a long time. Could it be that some people are already ready to make a move?
After thinking about this, the Jade Emperor said in a deep voice:

"Your three strategies are very clever. Although the lowest strategy is drastic, it can be combined with the middle strategy to achieve miraculous results. As for the highest strategy, the Three Pure Ones roam freely in the three realms, like a dragon that can only be seen from head to tail. The extraterritorial demon Gu Yunli is a difficult problem for us, but for him, it is just a new transformation of the barbarians into Buddhas. I will report this to the Three Pure Ones, but we cannot just stand by and watch."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Everyone bowed and greeted each other, each with their own thoughts in mind.

Then everyone discussed the details of the three strategies, especially the middle strategy, which seemed very brilliant, but in fact, it would kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of your own.

The large-scale popularization of spiritual practice may seem like a brilliant move, but it actually contains hidden dangers!

The emergence of a large number of monks will inevitably impact the current relatively stable social order. As time goes by, it may even have an impact on the Three Emperors.

However, they can no longer care so much now.

In other words, with the advent of the Internet, spiritual practice by the entire nation has become an inevitable trend.

Rather than passively accepting the impact of change, it is better to take the initiative to guide it and try to get a piece of the pie.

This is also the fundamental reason why Emperor Ziwei took the initiative to propose this strategy.

He is in charge of the personnel power of the immortal court. If he builds more Taoist temples, his power will inevitably expand further, and he may even have direct influence on the human world.

Of course, the Jade Emperor, Qingxu and Dongyin are not easy to deal with either. If the Emperor of Ziwei can use this to expand his influence, so can they!

Therefore, not long after the meeting ended, an imperial decree was issued from Lingxiao.

-

[Imperial edict to the whole world]

——I believe that the Great Dao is boundless, giving birth to all things. It hangs its image in the sky and shines brightly on the earth. It nurtures all living things and transforms all people…I wish that all people can be blessed by the Dao and reach the realm of immortality together. Therefore, I issue this edict to promote education, build many Taoist temples, benefit the world with the Dao, and save all living beings.

-

Along with this decree, there is also a decree to further block the Internet.

The strictness of the immortal rules and the lengthy and complicated clauses are truly astonishing! As soon as the decree was issued, the whole world was shocked, and the immortal court was in turmoil.

The Immortal Court wants to build a Taoist temple, and I don't know how many jobs will be created, and these are positions of real power that will be delegated to local areas. Therefore, not to mention the immortal officials who have been sitting on the bench for many years, even the immortal officials who hold a position in the Immortal Court are excited and are moving around frantically, trying to get a position.

A new power struggle is unfolding again!
The immortal court was in turmoil, and the people were even more excited.

"Does this mean that all the people should practice Taoism?"

"With so many people practicing Taoism, is there still room in the Immortal Court?"

"In the future, the cultivation of immortal officials of all ranks will probably rise!"

"The Immortal Court should have built a Taoist academy a long time ago. If it doesn't come out, I don't know how many people will be led astray by online courses and practice unorthodox methods."

"I think Daoji Tianxia is fake, and sniping the secret realm of the Internet is real!"

"The Immortal Court is still panicking. If they don't take action, I'm afraid that in thirty to fifty years, the whole world will be filled with secret realm players."

"Great, great, now I can finally practice the orthodox immortal method!"

"It's over! In order to protect their own interests, all the major academies will definitely block the Internet to death!"

As expected, the whole world cheered in delight at the Immortal Court's move to build more Taoist temples.

Historical records:

In the past, on a day when clouds were billowing and the sky was full of colorful clouds, the gates of heaven slightly opened, and celestial music floated in the air. An immortal official descended from the blue sky on the wind, and chose a place between sacred mountains and beautiful waters. He waved his sleeves, and the wind and clouds changed color. Thousands of auspicious auras appeared, and in a shocking moment, the Taoist temple was completed!
……

……

Lingshan, the precious temple of Dharma rain.

In the solemn and majestic Buddhist hall, Aniruddha sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, only his third eye open, scanning the jade scepter in front of him for a long time, then covered his knees with the jade scepter and commented:
"Using the name of education, building many Taoist temples, using the Taoist temples to monitor and guard the local areas, and supplementing them with severe laws and torture, this is a brilliant move!"

There are many immortal officials in the Immortal Court who hold empty positions. If these immortal officials are demoted to local areas, the Immortal Court's control over the local areas will reach an unprecedented scale.

The people now have an orthodox way to practice cultivation, and under the intimidation of the Immortal Court, they will naturally no longer seek unorthodox methods such as the Internet Secret Realm. At that time, with the help of harsh laws and collective punishment for reporting, it is possible to deter most people.

"What the Buddha said is absolutely true. In order to suppress Gu Tianmo, the Immortal Court has also come out in full force."

"What do you think of this strategy?"

“The benefits are obvious, but the drawbacks are also hidden.”

"Oh? Tell me."

"The Immortal Court has a complicated system of power division and salary system. It is already very difficult to maintain the current operation. Now we have to expand the Taoist temple, which will cost a lot. Even if we have accumulated it for tens of millions of years, it may be blown out of the candle! Moreover, if the immortal officials are transferred to the local areas, they will be out of reach. This move may only bring trouble to the local areas, allowing them to become bigger and the princes to split up."

Venerable Jinglian hit the nail on the head.

The Buddha nodded, then smiled and said, "That makes sense. But I see that the construction of the Immortal Court is led by Your Majesty, and the three officials follow. I'm afraid that the money needed comes from the income of their own networks. In this way, the loss of money should not be a problem for a while, so what about raising a tiger to cause trouble?"

The Buddha paused and said with a smile: "Looking at the world, isn't it a country of princes fighting for power now?"

Venerable Jinglian was speechless, and clasped his hands together: "The Buddha's wisdom is as sharp as a torch, and I am grateful for your teachings."

Buddha said: "Now the Internet is all over the world, and the world will know about any slight disturbance. The Immortal Court's move is not only aimed at Gu Tianmo, but also at us!"

Venerable Jinglian's thoughts turned, and he looked at the Buddha in surprise: "What does the Buddha mean?"

The Buddha said in a deep voice: "Those who have seen the truth are like holding a torch into the dark sky. The darkness disappears and only the light remains. The methods of the immortal court are very wonderful. How can our Buddhist sect lag behind? Spread my teachings, build Buddhist altars widely, and save sentient beings from suffering!"
