Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!

"Ding, congratulations to the host for occupying the Ruiyun Realm. The sign-in reward is the Enlightened Buddha Monarch Position. Would you like to use it?"

Enlightened Buddha Monarch Position!

Qin Wudao was slightly stunned, then filled with joy, unexpectedly having signed in one of the Twelve Monarch Positions this time.

But as for the ’Enlightened Buddha Monarch Position,’ who should it be given to?

Judging by the name, the ’Enlightened Buddha Monarch Position’ is custom-made for a high-ranking Buddhist monk.

And within the Qin Dynasty, the most famous high monks are only two, Huineng and Xuanzang!

The former attained enlightenment instantly, writing the Chan master verse ’The Bodhi Tree does not actually exist, Nor does the mirror have a stand; Originally, there is not a single thing, Where then can dust cling?’

The latter went through tribulations to obtain the scriptures from the West, enjoying high prestige in Huaxia’s Buddhist circle as a Buddhist scripture translator.

"System, who is worthy of the ’Enlightened Buddha Monarch Position’?"

Comparing the life stories of Huineng and Xuanzang, Qin Wudao also didn’t know who to bestow it upon and secretly consulted the system.

Only by giving treasures like ’Monarch Positions,’ ’Divine Authority,’ and ’Revered Source’ to the most suitable person can their greatest effect be realized.

"Xuanzang!"

Soon, the system’s prompt sounded.

"System, bestow the ’Enlightened Buddha Monarch Position’ upon Xuanzang!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Wudao no longer hesitated and ordered with a smile.

Boom!

The moment the words were spoken.

The entire sky of the Nine Provinces’ Great Thousand World turned golden, extremely bright but not dazzling, casting a Buddhist garment over the mountains and rivers, falling on all beings, making them feel harmonious and temporarily free from worries.

"Amitabha!"

At this moment, a vast Buddhist sound echoed through time and space, reverberating between heaven and earth.

Wherever the Buddhist sound transmitted, phenomena emerged, countless golden Buddhist lotuses growing and blooming on plains, mountain tops, cities, and in the hearts of all beings...

In the boundless high sky, a monk dressed in a kasaya, holding a tin staff, with a solemn and majestic appearance, came walking from the eastern horizon.

He kept walking!

He walked!

He walked through mountains and great lakes with his footsteps!

He witnessed demons, monsters, and the treacherous hearts of people with his eyes!

With a devout heart and a determination to seek the true scriptures, he overcame all worldly difficulties!

Finally, after enduring eighty-one tribulations, he arrived at the Great Thunder Sound Temple, obtained the true scriptures, then returned via the same route to the Eastern Lands, translating the scriptures and teaching Buddhism.

Outside the Imperial Capital, there are two giant mountains, one is Dao Mountain, and the other is Buddha Mountain.

"The struggle between Buddhism and Daoism has officially begun!"

At the peak of Dao Mountain, there is a simple Dao temple, where Zhang Sanfeng, wearing a Dao robe and holding a horsetail whisk, looked at the pervasive Buddhist light, a hint of worry in his eyes.

He is the head of Daoism, and his inherent responsibility is to lead Daoism to become strong.

To become strong!

In this process, conflict is inevitable!

And Daoism’s old rival is Buddhism!

Before this, Daoism controlled the Temple of Heaven, observing celestial phenomena, divining misfortune and fortune, deducing national destiny, far surpassing Buddhism in status, holding absolute advantage.

But now, changes seem to be occurring!

"Amitabha!"

From the neighboring Buddha Mountain, a Buddha’s name was chanted, and boundless Buddhist light soared into the sky, forming a Buddha, showing compassion for the world.

In the royal palace, Qin Wudao looked at the Dao Mountain and Buddha Mountain outside the city, lost in thought, but said nothing; the issue of Buddhist-Daoist struggle was something he couldn’t resolve.

The religions are different!

The philosophies are different!

The cultivation methods are different!

It is destined that Buddhism and Daoism have an inevitable competitive relationship.

Whoosh!

Under everyone’s gaze, the ’Enlightened Buddha Monarch Position’ sliced through the air, transforming into a golden Buddha light, disappearing into Buddha Mountain, entering Xuanzang’s body.

Instantly, a terrifying aura erupted from Xuanzang’s body, penetrating the nine heavens and nine hells, the Buddha’s light illuminated the world, making everything become bright.

In the martial arts world, Buddhism’s thoughts and perspectives are undoubtedly ahead of their time.

Buddhism advocates the natural law of ’Karma,’ where good deeds bring good results, evil deeds bring evil results, and when the conditions are ripe, retribution will come!

Karma theory!

This point also closely aligns with the ’Dao’ of the martial arts world!

"All actions are impermanent, all laws are selfless, Nirvana is tranquil!"

"Do no evil, practice all good, purify your mind!"

"Know suffering, cut off accumulation, long for extinction, cultivate the path!"

"All phenomena are empty!"

Upon merging with the ’Enlightened Buddha Monarch Position,’ Xuanzang’s body shuddered, and, like enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree, he understood many core Buddhist philosophies.

Then, his body swayed, and he became suspended on a cloud, beginning the dissemination of the teachings.

Mystical Buddhist sounds spread out, reverberating across the heavens and outer chaos realms, reaching the ears of countless beings, bringing immense joy to those studying Buddhist Law, quickly allowing them to sit cross-legged.

And those who do not practice Buddhist Law, although they did not understand the meaning, also felt comfortable in body and mind, gaining new insight into martial arts.

Understand that the doctrines Xuanzang is now spreading are those obtained from the ’Enlightened Buddha Monarch Position,’ surpassing any Saint’s teachings or harmonized teachings innumerably.

Even understanding just a few words can benefit one for life.

"Is he trying to use the power of the ’Enlightened Buddha Monarch Position’ to establish rules?"

Qin Wudao stepped out of the imperial hall, standing in the imperial garden, listening to Xuanzang’s teachings, immediately grasping the latter’s intentions.

"As expected of the one who obtained the True Scriptures!"

Liu Bei gazed up at the sky, his eyes full of admiration.

In his previous life, he did not know Xuanzang, but after coming into the world, he learned about Xuanzang from numerous remarkable people of various eras, knowing that in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there was a devout person who traveled west for Buddhism.

"Reaching the skies in one step!"

Sun Quan murmured to himself.

He could use the power of ’Wu Mou Shen Yu’ to harness the power of rule, but ultimately hadn’t established rules in the myriad worlds, so the power was weaker.

But now, Xuanzang’s dissemination in the myriad worlds, establishing rules, his cultivation would inevitably advance rapidly.

This dissemination lasted for a full ten days.

The rules of the myriad worlds had already integrated the rules of Buddha, even under the auspices of the Fortune Golden Dragon, a mass of clouds appeared, signifying the seal of Buddha civilization.

"Reported to Your Majesty, I, Xuanzang, wish to establish the rules of Buddha, to protect the Qin Dynasty, and ask for Your Majesty’s permission!"

Xuanzang opened his eyes, facing the direction of the Imperial Capital, respectfully saluted.

"Granted!"

Qin Wudao’s majestic voice echoed across the skies of the Qin Dynasty’s territory.

Rules!

Are divided into autonomous rules and vassal rules!

Autonomous rules, like Hongjun’s, are those where enslaving rules are established, with oneself as the center, as the absolute sovereign of this rule.

And vassal rules are those that depend on a nation, a faction, an individual, or a more powerful rule.

When Xuanzang established the rules of Buddha, he first sought Qin Wudao’s consent, then established a grand vow to protect the Qin Dynasty, making it a vassal rule.

In terms of power level, there’s no difference between independent and vassal rules.

An independent rule can mobilize the power of a vassal rule.

A vassal rule can also borrow the power of an independent rule.

There is only one difference, if an independent rule is overturned, the vassal rule will also suffer a heavy blow, but if the vassal rule is destroyed, the independent rule will remain unaffected.

Of course, this is just a general division; the advantages and disadvantages of independent versus vassal rules still require consideration from multiple perspectives.
