CHAPTER 608: CHAPTER 386: OLD HABITS DIE HARD (PART 2)

The main issue is that Daoist Ran Deng currently does not understand the path of Dao he wishes to pursue.

Therefore, even though Daoist Ran Deng spent a large amount of time addressing his own issues, it ultimately yielded no results.

It can be said that his years of cultivation were essentially a waste of time.

This is precisely why Yu Qing Yuan Shi’s expression in the Purple Cloud Palace is not looking good.

Initially, when building the Immortal Court system, he was very diligent and responsible.

But after the Immortal Court system appeared, he set everything aside, focusing only on his own cultivation.

As one of the three thousand mortals in the Purple Cloud Palace, breaking through to the Quasi-Saint Realm has almost become an obsession for Daoist Ran Deng.

Originally joining the Chan Sect was to break through to Quasi-Saint.

Yet who could have thought he did not reap rewards, but instead nearly shattered his Dao heart.

In this Spiritual Illusion Realm, Daoist Ran Deng remains hidden, with everything handled by the Immortal Court, continuing in this manner.

In another Spiritual Illusion Realm, after becoming the Immortal Emperor, Maitreya inserted Buddhist disciples into various positions within the Immortal Court without any hesitation.

The Immortal Court.

But among them are not creatures cultivating the Immortal Dao, from the Immortal Emperor to the lowest creatures, all are Buddhist disciples.

As for Maitreya Immortal Emperor placing these Buddhist disciples in various positions, it wasn’t for other reasons, but for merit.

Thus, under the leadership of Maitreya Immortal Emperor, all creatures of the Immortal Court are diligent and responsible, striving to obtain more merit.

Initially, the effect was very obvious.

Although the cultivation of Maitreya Immortal Emperor is merely that of Daluo Golden Immortal, as the Immortal Emperor, with Western Saints behind him, the creatures of the Primordial Continent afforded him some respect.

Thus, the disputes on the Primordial Continent gradually decreased, flourishing.

It’s fair to say that at this stage, Maitreya Immortal Emperor is the best among those creatures in the assessment.

Because under his leadership, all Buddhist disciples of the Immortal Court united and exerted all their efforts, simply to obtain more merit.

With a common goal, they naturally unleashed unprecedented cohesion.

And precisely in this situation, Maitreya Immortal Emperor gradually discovered the merit he could obtain was rapidly reducing.

Of course, occupying the Karma Position of Heaven and Earth, they still have continuous merit and fortune.

However, this is like a slow and steady stream, the merit remains unchanged without any fluctuation.

Yet, under the exploration of Maitreya Immortal Emperor and several Buddhist disciples, they truly found a fast path to gain merit.

That is for the creatures of the Primordial Continent to make mistakes, and then they capture, judge, and punish them in the name of the Immortal Court.

This is the fastest way to gain merit.

The larger the mistakes made by the creatures, the more abundant the merit the Buddhist disciples of the Immortal Court can obtain.

Slaughter and conflict between creatures, unless very large, doesn’t yield much merit.

To obtain considerable merit, damage by creatures to the Primordial Continent is needed.

For instance, if a creature causes damage to the Four Pillars or Buzhou Mountain, if the Immortal Court captures, judges, and punishes them, it will gain a large amount of merit.

Thus, the style of the Immortal Court instantly changed along with the method of gaining merit.

After all, everything they do is to gain more merit.

In this situation, the Immortal Court changed from actively handling matters on the Primordial Continent to delaying until matters are maximized before dealing with them.

As long as it’s not a mistake committed by the Immortal Court, they magnify the issue before addressing it.

Even so, such occurrences in the Primordial realm are gradually decreasing.

Consequently, Maitreya Immortal Emperor and several Buddhist disciples thought of other methods.

Since creatures were not making mistakes, they would lure creatures to make mistakes, then proceed to capture, suppress, and punish them.

Karma, borne by the mistaken creatures.

Merit, gained by the Buddhist disciples in the Immortal Court.

They have even reached the point where, in non-critical situations, Buddhist disciples no longer kill these erring creatures, only suppressing them for a time.

When the time is up, they release them to continue doing evil, then recapture, judge, and punish them.

When the karma borne by the creatures meets the standard of the Heavenly Court’s Heaven-Faithful Punishment, the Buddhist disciples in the Immortal Court will kill them.

Such actions are meant to maximize the gain of merit.

The Saints within the Purple Cloud Palace frowned upon witnessing Maitreya’s actions.

Such conduct seems flawless, even earning merit.

Even the Heavenly Court, which governs Heaven-Faithful Punishment, seemingly cannot intervene to reprimand.

Yet his very negligence has already caused harm to the Primordial Continent and even the Primordial World.

The gaze of the Saints inevitably fell upon Zhun Ti Saint and Jie Yin Saint.

These two Saints remained unmoved, still compassionate, seemingly pitying all beings.

In fact, these two Saints were calculating, whether this method could be used if the Immortal Court couldn’t be controlled.

Because they truly lack merit, that feeling of always being intertwined with the Primordial Heavenly Dao, even as Saints, they still feel fear.

The Spiritual Illusion Realm of Wu Xian.

Compared to other creatures, after Wu Xian became the Immortal Emperor, though he too was restricted, the constraints he faced were relatively small.

After all, aside from the witchcraft and curses related to the soul, the greatest advantage of the Wu Tribe is their physical bodies.

Double Cause such as fate and karma have relatively little restriction on physical bodies.

After Wu Xian became the Immortal Emperor, he placed various creatures of the Wu Tribe in the Immortal Court in various positions.

Benefitting one’s own people is something every creature who becomes an Immortal Emperor does.

The Immortal Court, originally an adversary of the Wu Tribe, now falls into the hands of the Wu Tribe.

Taiching Laozi watching this moment did not look pleased.

The Wu Tribe appearing on the Primordial Continent again represents his former planning, the price paid, all turning out to be futile, all wasted efforts.

Even though it’s merely a Spiritual Illusion Realm, waves stirred in Taiching Laozi’s heart, unable to maintain calm.

The Wu Tribe ruling the Immortal Court, cautiously surviving under Wu Xian’s leadership, dealing with myriad matters on the Primordial Continent.

The Wu Tribe creatures within the Netherworld also gradually emerged on the Primordial Continent.

The Wu Tribe no longer has the Twelve Ancestor Witches, although the Twelve Devine Slaughter Formation still exists, without its core, the formation’s power heavily diminished.

Moreover, the current Twelve Devine Slaughter Formation of the Wu Tribe is not the formation from their inherited memory, it remains the inheritance of the Twelve Ancestor Witches.

However, before the final decisive battle with the Immortal Court, eleven Ancestor Witches recorded the Twelve Devine Slaughter Formation using Secret Technique and handed it to Wu Xian.

Under the leadership of this wise Wu Tribe, though the Immortal Court of the Wu Tribe was not great, it was at least qualified.

After all, the Wu Tribe does not cultivate the Primordial Spirit; handling some matters is unlike the creatures of the Immortal Dao.

Regarding the Wu Tribe, some factions on the Primordial still harbor hatred, as the previous adversarial factions against the Wu Tribe were countless.

However, current circumstances do not allow them to exact revenge, only affording enough respect to the Immortal Court.

With the respect of various creatures on the Primordial Continent, the Wu Tribe no longer acted cautiously as before.

They seemed to see the glory of the Wu Tribe when the Twelve Ancestor Witches existed.

As this feeling grew stronger, the actions of Wu Tribe creatures increasingly mimicked those when the Twelve Ancestor Witches were present.

Wu Xian similarly had such an illusion, after ruling the Immortal Court, they indeed restored the glory of the Wu Tribe.

Yet he always maintained a trace of caution within his heart, continually warning the Wu Tribe creatures to be prudent, not to be reckless.

This advice did not have much effect.

Because the Wu Tribe creatures now began capturing creatures of other races again, using them as food.
