Chapter 531: Chapter 223: Divine Power Worlds Apart Within Reach! (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_2

The Great Master was silent for a moment, seeing his expression, his smile revealed a bit of bitterness and he said:

"Mr. Qing Zhou, it seems you have quite a few grievances against this old man."

Li Qingzhou shook his head: "I don’t."

The Great Master Lin Zhongke paused and didn’t look at him anymore, his gaze fell directly on Chunhe Garden below.

"I understand that not only you, but many people on Taizhou Mountain have quite a few criticisms of this old man."

Li Qingzhou glanced at him: "With your cultivation level, you indeed shouldn’t remain on Tianyuan Continent."

In fact, what the Great Master just said was correct.

On Taizhou Mountain, aside from a few ancestors, the rest of the people from various sects are somewhat dissatisfied with him.

Not just because the Great Master’s cultivation has long surpassed others on Tianyuan Continent, but also because his Confucian path restrains demons just like the Buddhist Technique.

If he could appear on Taizhou Mountain, the pressure on Human Race fortresses everywhere would be greatly reduced.

Moreover, with the talent the Great Master has shown in the past, once he goes to Taizhou Mountain, he might quickly become one of the ancestors.

Yet such an extraordinary individual has always stayed on Tianyuan Continent, not only Li Qingzhou and others can’t understand, even the three sages of Kyoto Academy are puzzled.

"..."

The Great Master sighed: "I specially looked for you because I have some things to tell you."

Li Qingzhou slightly nodded, ambiguously said: "The Great Master can speak directly."

After a moment of silence.

The Great Master spoke slowly: "Over two hundred years ago, I indeed planned to head to Taizhou Mountain and had prepared everything then."

"But at that time, coincidentally, Dakong Temple emerged, and the Wei Dynasty Royal Family had connections with the West Continent Buddha Country..."

Li Qingzhou listened calmly to his account, but his brows started to furrow.

"Does the Great Master mean that the Buddhist eastward expansion is secretly controlled by some with ulterior motives?"

Lin Zhongke nodded and said: "It was upon discovering this that I consulted with the sages and decided to stay on Tianyuan Continent, and remain in Kyoto Prefecture."

"These people hide very deeply, while introducing the Buddhist eastward expansion, they suppress both Confucian and Taoist sects."

"Mr. Qing Zhou, with your insight, you should notice — nowadays on Tianyuan Continent, the influence of Confucian and Taoist sects is almost only within the Wei Dynasty!"

Li Qingzhou reflected for a moment, then slightly nodded: "As the Great Master said, our Taoist sects are active almost only within the Wei Dynasty, some..."

"Some sects even only exist in one prefecture, aside from cultivation, they rarely divert attention elsewhere."

"Even if called upon for affairs of the court, it’s merely disciples from within the sect descending the mountain."

This is not only true for the Grand Void Sect, Wuliang Mountain, Yuhua Immortal Sect, Yu Mountain Sect and other Taoist sacred lands.

Because of Taizhou Mountain, the talented Taoist disciples within sects dare not be negligent before the age of thirty.

And after the age of thirty, because of being accustomed to quiet cultivation, they are too lazy to pay attention to worldly matters.

Over time, the Taoist sect seldom actively show their influence in the court or Martial World.

Among Confucian academic sacred lands, many students choose to become officials, gaining considerable authority in the court and various state prefectures.

While Buddhists emphasize meritorious deeds, aside from chanting sutras and striking the bell, they often travel, using Buddhist Law to enlighten all living beings.

In this aspect, the various Taoist sects lag behind the Confucian and Buddhists.

Without necessity, almost no Daoist would descend the mountain to travel.

The Great Master Lin Zhongke’s expression deepened as he said: "Since Dakong Temple emerged, Buddhists have grown stronger within the Wei Dynasty."

"After multiple investigations, I found that aside from support from the West Continent Buddha Country, there is also cooperation from within Wei Dynasty."

"But upon careful investigation, it turns out those people are mayflies floating on the surface, there are others under the surface!"

Li Qingzhou understood what he meant but still had some doubts.

"The Great Master has stayed on Tianyuan Continent for so long, yet hasn’t discovered those behind it?"

"There are only some traces, but up till now, we still haven’t grasped their roots."

The Great Master shook his head and said: "Buddhists seem always to walk around, outwardly their influence looks evident, but in fact, they have things closed off that aren’t exposed."

"Just like Dakong Temple, even though I am in Kyoto Prefecture, there are still many things that remain unclear."

"Dakong Temple..." Li Qingzhou’s expression changed slightly, turning to look at the distant golden Buddhist hall, and said:

"Even you, the Great Master, can’t see through it?"

The Great Master nodded: "Not to mention other monks, the one I can’t see through the most is their Buddhist Disciple."

"Mr. Qing Zhou, do you know when the last ’Dakong Buddhist Disciple’ appeared?"

Li Qingzhou recalled for a moment and said: "Wasn’t it one hundred and fifty years ago? It’s said he was the grandson of Dakong Temple’s first resident abbot."

The Great Master also looked towards Dakong Temple, saying: "Exactly! That was Emperor Wei’s brother Wei Lingxi who ventured into the Buddha Country, after returning he shaved his hair and became a monk, taking the Dharma name ’Xuan Kong’, then he built Dakong Temple!"

"His grandson Wei You also became a monk at Dakong Temple at that time, known as ’Dakong Buddhist Disciple’, Dharma name ’Jing Ming’."

"For thirty years thereafter, he traveled across various state prefectures of Wei Dynasty, using his background to build Buddhist halls and temples, until he was besieged by Evil Demons and perished."

The Great Master paused and similarly looked towards Dakong Temple, "Then it was the Buddhist Disciple of a hundred years ago."

"He almost single-handedly competed with the Confucian and Taoist prodigies, not only was his Buddhist Law profound, but his Buddhist Technique was unique, suppressing his peer prodigies."

"Later, he went to Taizhou Mountain, there... Mr. Qing Zhou, do you know his actions?"

Li Qingzhou received his words, responding:
