Although... they also didn't know why, in the current Chan Sect, there seemed to be no human who had truly achieved the status of Earth Immortal, enjoying eternal life.
This terrifying truth, which made one's blood run cold upon further thought, the ignorant masses dared not, nor had the motivation to, contemplate!
They only hoped that they themselves could "become immortals"!
Guangchengzi, with supreme divine ability and magical power, rewound the past scenes within this earthen house.
He saw that Taiyi Zhenren, ten thousand years ago, had personally descended to this earthen house.
He personally divided his "true essence" into tens of millions of true seeds, and then stored these true seeds at his own statue!
He issued a mandatory order: if a human infant were born, they must receive the true seeds here, allowing the incense and true seed method to automatically circulate within their bodies...
Those who violated this—immediate annihilation! Extermination of nine generations of kin!
Guangchengzi finally understood what true seeds and true essence were!
So, they were merely tools for harvesting faith and incense!
"This method is poison!"
"I will change this world! Change Chan Sect!"
"I will transform Chan Sect into the true Daoism, not this pseudo-Dao..."
Just as Guangchengzi was about to make a vow...
Suddenly, he thought of his master, Yuanshi Tianzun, and the care and attention he had shown him after his transmigration...
Yuanshi Tianzun was also emotional, and extremely loyal to his disciples! He had pushed the concept of favoritism to its extreme in the novel Investiture of the Gods!
Tongtian Jiaozhu had lost countless disciples, yet he remained seated in Biyou Palace, unmoved.
The Sanxiao sisters had merely severed the "three flowers on the crown" of the Twelve Golden Immortals, and had not harmed their lives, yet Yuanshi Tianzun had gone completely mad and, using his superior status to bully the lesser, had annihilated the Sanxiao sisters!
He had not cared at all about the reputation of a Saint!
Did Yuanshi Tianzun value origins? He valued origins greatly! He greatly valued bloodlines! He looked down upon demon races! He looked down upon any cultivator with inferior aptitude and origins!
Do not expect Yuanshi Tianzun to have any good attitude towards a cultivator with ordinary or inferior aptitude, a posthumous being; his arrogance was no joke!
But was Yuanshi Tianzun loyal? Was he emotional?
As long as the origins and bloodline were suitable, Yuanshi Tianzun was undoubtedly more emotional than Tongtian Jiaozhu!
If Yuanshi Tianzun were not emotional and not loyal, why would he disregard his Saintly reputation and directly attack the Sanxiao sisters?
As for the other Twelve Golden Immortals of Chan Sect, it was one thing. After the calamity of Investiture of the Gods, four Golden Immortals defected to the West due to Yuanshi Tianzun's unfair treatment.
But Guangchengzi, as the chief disciple of Chan Sect, was a beneficiary! And Yuanshi Tianzun's most valued disciple!
Yuanshi Tianzun's exploitation of humanity, his disdain for Huanglong Zhenren, and the unfair treatment of the four Golden Immortals who defected to the Western Sect and became Bodhisattvas...
But this precisely showed that Yuanshi Tianzun would favor Guangchengzi, the chief disciple of Chan Sect, more than cultivators from other sects, any sect!
Everyone's stance was different!
From Guangchengzi's perspective, there was no better master than Yuanshi Tianzun!
Therefore, he, a transmigrator, wanted to overthrow Yuanshi Tianzun's authority? To overthrow the system established by Yuanshi Tianzun?
Upon this thought, Guangchengzi's heart softened!
True Daoists on Earth were also emotional beings. If he treated Yuanshi Tianzun this way, what difference would it be from repaying kindness with enmity?
"My master is emotional, I should try to influence my master..."
Guangchengzi secretly resolved.
Suddenly.
The sky darkened!
A Saint-level heavenly tribulation descended!
"This is..."
Guangchengzi looked up at the sky.
His heart trembled, recalling a legend circulating within Chan Sect...
At this time, it was the era of the Witch and Demon races!
But in the nine heavens above, it was not Emperor Jun and Taiyi of the Demon Court who held power!
Instead, it was the Human Emperor, Fang Ming, who was in charge!
The Human race had already attacked the Heavenly Court!
The Human race had already forced back the Witch race!
The Human race had already—unified the Great Desolation world! Except for the territories where the Five Saints of the Heavenly Dao resided, all other territories were under the control of the Human race!
"Who exactly is the Human Emperor Fang Ming?"
"Is he also a transmigrator like me?"
"A transmigrator from Earth like me?"
"With my God-level Deduction System, theoretically, I can deduce cultivation techniques up to the Great Dao Saint level!"
"Then what golden finger did Fang Ming possess? What system?"
Guangchengzi vaguely felt a sense of foreboding!
It seemed that this Human Emperor Fang Ming was no longer content with defeating the Demon Court and repelling the Witch race; he intended to further defeat Chan Sect, control Chan Sect, and even destroy Chan Sect!
It was rumored that this Fang Ming was already a few points stronger than an ordinary Saint, and in a head-on confrontation, even the Taiqing Saint might not win!
Could his master, Yuanshi Tianzun, withstand him?
"He transmigrated earlier than me!"
"He is a Saint-level transmigrator, while I am only at the early stage of Da Luo!"
"This struggle is unfair!"
Guangchengzi thought to himself!
...
In the center of the Heavenly Court.
Fang Ming was manipulating the heavenly tribulation before the Heavenly Net...
Suddenly!
The system's mechanical voice alerted Fang Ming.
[Host!]
[Detected another Earth transmigrator!]
[Detected another system!]
[Transmigrator Identity: Guangchengzi]
[Transmigration Time Point: Three thousand years ago]
"System? What is an Earth transmigrator? What is another system?"
Although Fang Ming was shocked, his expression remained unchanged as he directly asked.
The system did not provide any answer.
Fang Ming thought, "No answer? It seems it doesn't want to answer, wanting me to explore it myself?"
"What secret is hidden within? Why can't it answer directly?"
After this test, Fang Ming felt that although his system had unspeakable taboos, and many things it dared not say truthfully, did not discuss, or even lied about, it seemed more like a "well-intentioned lie"!
The system itself seemed to have a loyal attitude towards him!
There was no conspiracy!
Fang Ming thought, "I am ninety-nine percent sure of the system's attitude, it is likely genuinely loyal to me."
"Just like in countless novels from his previous life, where systems are loyal to the protagonist. Most systems would never suddenly betray the protagonist."
"This is actually—unreasonable!"
"Because there has never been loyalty for no reason in the world..."
"If the problem doesn't lie with the system... then, could it be the system's creator?"
"Who created a system that is loyal to the protagonist!"
"Who is manipulating all of this from behind the scenes?"
"The system has no conspiracy..."
"But that doesn't mean the system's creator has no conspiracy..."
Fang Ming lowered his gaze, looking towards Chan Sect.
"Fine, overthinking is useless. Since an Earth transmigrator has appeared, I'll capture him and analyze him. I can then obtain some intelligence..."
"I want to research what exactly a system is!"
