Chapter 71: The Unworthy Descendants Who Use the Power of the Tiger to Bully Others

After a long string of specious but completely nonsense proof formulas were written, the three stone tablets exploded and shattered into dust, destroying the evidence according to the preset procedures of the magic circle.

A huge vortex channel spanning space appeared out of thin air at the center of the three stone tablets, indicating that the seal of the formation has been broken and the secret realm is officially open.

The opening of the secret realm was clearly a happy event, but several Mahayana elders felt extremely regretful because they had not yet had the chance to understand the proof process of these great principles.

Several great masters with high realms all had vague premonitions in their hearts that if they could truly understand the proof process of these great principles, it would definitely be of great significance to their progress in cultivation and even in laying the foundation for their ascension to immortality.

You know, that is "all things return to one", "the earth is divided into four images" and "the void has an end"!

Once you reach the immortal level, it is no longer a matter of who has accumulated more resources, but a matter of understanding of the Great Dao. The deeper the understanding, the more powerful the power of the Great Dao that one controls.

The accumulation of billions of years of cultivation is quantitative change; only the realization of the great Dao is a qualitative change.

As a Buddhist case goes, the Buddha investigated the past and present lives of a pigeon and discovered that the pigeon had experienced eight great calamities and its soul had wasted billions of years in the animal realm.

If you are not enlightened, you will always be a dove.

If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening. If you don’t hear the truth, you will be foolish for billions of years.

The first few steps of the proof written by Wen Rui were relatively simple, and they could understand some of them. Just by taking a peek at them, they seemed to have some understanding of the truth.

It’s a pity that Wen Rui wrote too fast, just like taking a nap in math class. When he looked up again, the blackboard was full of bulletin boards, and it was completely too late to learn.

Now that the stone tablet has exploded and the blackboard has been wiped clean, the inspiration that several Mahayana monks had finally generated has been extinguished. How can they not feel regretful?

"Friend Wen, could you please give me a copy of the proof you just wrote?"

Zhang Zhenren of Ziyang Immortal Sect said cautiously: "We spent five million spirit stones, so we should spend them wisely. You opened the seal so casually, and I always feel that the spirit stones were not worth it..."

At this point, he seemed to feel guilty, fearing that his ugly appearance would be seen by the disciples watching, which would damage his reputation, so he quietly cast an illusion array to block everyone's sight and block out any sound.

The Mahayana monk surnamed Sun also chimed in: "Yes, we didn't understand how you solved it, but you did. It feels a little strange."

Wen Rui sneered, took out the signed agreement, pointed at the clauses and said, "Read it yourself, it's clearly written above, I'm only responsible for unlocking the door, the five million spirit stones are the unlocking fee, I'm not responsible for anything else!"

Master Zhang clenched his fists and said with a suppressed temper, "We are also old customers. Can't we provide a little extra after-sales service?"

After interacting with Wen Rui more often, Master Zhang also learned some of Wen Rui's strange words.

"That's easy to say, this is a matter of principle!" Wen Rui said seriously, "Do you understand the rules? The law is not passed on to the six ears. How can my secret teachings of Jiejiao be given as a free gift after sale?"

He counted carefully on his fingers: "Drawing a line is only worth one spirit stone, but knowing where to draw the line is worth ten thousand spirit stones. The five million spirit stones for unlocking the door is equivalent to the one spirit stone for drawing the line. The value of knowing how to draw the line is five million times ten thousand, which is fifty billion spirit stones. Bring me fifty billion spirit stones, and I will write down the proof process for you to take back and slowly comprehend!"

Fifty billion, this is not just a lion's mouth, it's a glutton's mouth. The entire assets of several Mahayana monks combined are just a drop in the bucket.

Several people looked at each other, and we could see anger and unwillingness in each other's eyes, as well as helplessness.

If Wen Ruiruo were to take off all his equipment and face off against immortal cultivators in a one-on-one duel based on his real abilities, no one in any realm, from foundation building to sainthood, would be able to defeat him.

If he did not have the protection of the Lishan Holy Mother in the mortal world and a cheap father who was a high-ranking official in the Heavenly Court, he, as a mortal, would not even be qualified to talk to these monks, let alone establish a chamber of commerce and do business with the major sects.

However, most of the Mahayana monks in the major sects are previous generations who have experienced the Battle of the Gods, and they understand the relationship between Wen Rui and Wen Zhong best.

Most of them are about to ascend to heaven. When the thunder tribulation comes, will it make them become immortals or die? Will it be nine holy thunders of strengthening muscles and cleansing marrow or a thousand thunders of annihilation? It all depends on what Lord Wen Tianzun thinks with his imperial pen. How dare they offend Lord Wen Tianzun's son who is now wandering in the mortal world?

It's like an official is about to be transferred to a higher-level department and is in the critical assessment period. At this time, he beats up or even kills the son of his immediate superior who is in charge of organizational personnel and disciplinary assessment. Does he still want to make progress?

It is rumored in the Three Realms and Nine Heavens that Wen Zhong Tianzun is the most fair and strict among all the gods and will never bend the law for personal gain, but these Mahayana cultivators dare not believe it, let alone gamble.

The Mahayana monks have practiced for at least 1,800 years. None of them are foolish. They all know that some high-ranking officials who shed tears in front of the camera had an excellent reputation and were clean as water before they were caught.

Moreover, judging from the usual practices in heaven, let alone the biological sons of the gods, even if it was their fire-making Taoist boy, mount, pet, or ornamental fish in the pond who came down to earth to harm the human world, no matter how great the sins they committed, in the end they would only be fined three cups of wine when they were caught. The intention of shielding and protecting them could not be more obvious.

Wen Rui was well aware of all these twists and turns, so he relied on his status, took advantage of the power of others, and utilized all available resources to maximize the advantages of his status. He managed to gain benefits in the world dominated by extraordinary monks with his mortal body.

Wen Rui naturally knew Wen Zhong's character. He was absolutely upright and righteous, even more upright than Hai Rui. He was willing to starve Wen Rui to death in order to uphold justice.

If he knew that Wen Rui was cheating people in the lower world under the banner of the Son of Heaven, he would not care whether he lived or died, and he would want to kill this unworthy descendant with a thunderbolt to clean up the old Wen family. But this did not stop Wen Rui from abusing his power to make money. As long as he did not cause a disaster that angered the heavens and the people, Wen Tianzun would not know that there was an unworthy descendant in the lower world who was using his name to do evil.

Even if those Mahayana monks who were intimidated by him were lucky enough to pass the calamity and become immortals, they would only be given low-level official positions such as Bizhuwen, Rolling Curtain Door Boy, Heavenly Court Dance Team Member, Tianhe Sailor A, and Tianbing B. They are a million miles away from Wen Tianzun. Their rank is too low to make any statement, let alone report Wen Rui.

Facing cultivators at the Jindan, Yuanying, Fanxu and Huashen stages, Wen Rui did not dare to act like a dandy. Instead, he behaved courteously and respectfully. He was afraid that he might meet a young and arrogant lunatic who was ignorant of the immensity of the world and would risk his life to die with him. That would be a disaster.

Several Mahayana elders just couldn't do anything to Wen Rui. They couldn't hit him or scold him. He had the agreement as evidence, so they were justified. They could only swallow their anger and feel as aggrieved as a young wife.

Wen Rui changed his tone and said, "You all have a sincere desire to learn the Dao. If I am too secretive, it would go against Jiejiao's philosophy of teaching everyone. Otherwise, let's take a step back and think of a solution that will have the best of both worlds. As long as you agree, I will provide you with the proof of these basic principles of the Dao for free, and you can also browse my Jiejiao secret book collection at will."

"Really?"

"Hey, what a pleasant surprise!"

"My dear Wen, please don't deceive me."

"Tell me, what's the solution?"

……

Upon hearing this, several sect elders immediately became excited and asked questions one after another.

"It's very simple. You just need to defect from the Chan Sect and join my Jie Sect. Then you and I will be fellow disciples. According to the Jie Sect's rules, I will share my knowledge with you and give you guidance."

In front of a group of disciples, Wen Rui openly incited the Mahayana elders of major sects to betray their religion. This was the first time in the world of cultivation that several elders could not believe their ears.

Fortunately, Master Zhang had previously cast an illusion array to block the view of the crowd, otherwise with so many people talking, who knows what rumors might have spread, and they would not be able to explain to the head master when they returned.

"You...you...how can you be so deceitful! You wantonly make fun of people like me who have attained the Tao!"

Pointing at Wen Rui with a trembling finger, Master Zhang was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly, and the other people also had a grim look on their faces.

"If you feel that it is an insult to you to have me as your master, then I can accept you as my disciples on my behalf and take you in as my senior brothers."

Wen Rui said sincerely, "Think about it. I have inherited this skill from my family, and my master is my father. If you become his disciple, do you still need to worry about the difficulty of overcoming the thunder tribulation? When you become an immortal in the future, you will have a backer in the heavens, and your progress will be faster."

The devil is whispering in your ear!

Wen Rui's proposal suddenly became very attractive.

The faces of several Mahayana monks suddenly changed. Not only did their anger disappear, but they even began to waver in their hearts and seriously evaluated the gains and losses.

"No, that's not right. This kind of behavior of betraying the teacher and destroying the ancestors must not be done!"

"Stop talking, it's impossible!"

"If we betray our religion, will we be worthy of our ancestor Yuanshi Tianzun..."

“Not to mention the Grandmaster, even the Grandmasters who founded each sect would not let us go.”

Their attitude of rejection seemed very firm, and Wen Rui continued to persuade them:

"Hey, it seems that you, the Chan Sect, are very tolerant of traitors. Wenshu, Samantabhadra, Cihang, Juliusun, several of his disciples defected to the Western Sect, but didn't Yuanshi Tianzun pursue them?"

"Do you think that only the governor is allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps? Why don't you try to rebel? The three religions have the same origin, and they are all disciples of Hongjun Daozu. It is better for the Chan and Jie religions to share what they have and love each other than to join the outsiders of the Western religion. I don't think it's a big problem. You can go back and think about it. When you have time, come to my Lishan Jinling Sect to discuss it in private."

This last sentence was a bit of a landmine. Several Mahayana monks looked at each other warily, with uncertain expressions, and it seemed that they all suspected that the other party might betray their religion.

It doesn't cost any money and it's just a waste of a few drops of saliva to win over and divide the Mahayana monks of the Chan sect at the right time. Wen Rui never gets tired of digging into the walls of the Chan and Ren sects, and he does it whenever he wants.

If we can really trick a few apostate Mahayana monks from the Chan sect into joining the Jie sect, then wouldn't that be a free gift? It will also greatly help in the revival of the Jie sect and the progress bar will definitely increase significantly.

As long as they rebel, there is no need to worry about them rebelling back. Even the Golden Immortal has to have dignity. If they can tolerate disciples who betray their master and ancestors and keep jumping around, then there is nothing disgusting that they cannot tolerate. They can even eat two kilograms of shit in one meal.

Even if you can't deceive them, just keep them in mind, and it will be smoother when you ask them for help in the future.
