Chapter 907 Family Conflict
With Zhen Yuanzi assigning everyone to their positions, the Western Spiritual Vein was firmly protected. As members of the Earth Immortal Mansion guarded and managed the vein, it became increasingly unobstructed and stable.
The outward manifestation of the positive development of the Western spiritual veins is that the concentration of spiritual energy in the West is gradually increasing, and the Western land is nurturing more and more natural treasures!
Bai Zhen was unaware of the cleanup work done by Houtu, Zhen Yuanzi, and others. As for him, after returning to Qingqiu, he began to focus on the human race!
There are no permanent dynasties in this world. No matter how prosperous the Shang Dynasty was, it could not withstand the passage of time and gradually declined!
Although some rulers emerged during the decline of the Shang Dynasty, how could a mere emperor stop the decline of a dynasty?
Towards the end of the Shang Dynasty, the incompetent rulers and constant natural and man-made disasters greatly weakened the Shang Dynasty's power. Taking advantage of the Shang Dynasty's weakened royal family, the feudal lords rapidly developed their power. Gradually, the Shang Dynasty's control over the feudal lords weakened until it became completely uncontrollable!
As for the feudal lords, out of respect for the emperor's status, even though they knew that the Shang dynasty was completely powerless to fight back, they did not dare to attack the Shang royal family and always regarded the Shang dynasty as the legitimate dynasty!
It wasn't until the Shang Dynasty was conquered by the Quanrong that the Shang royal family fled with their relatives. Only then did the feudal lords realize that the Shang Dynasty had nothing left but a legitimate title!
After realizing that the current Shang king no longer possessed the majesty and power of any emperor, the feudal lords no longer had any reservations and began to openly admit their past secret annexations of other kingdoms!
Since Chaoge was captured by the Quanrong, the land of Kyushu has entered a chaotic era of war. Fortunately, that guy named Sun Tzu had not yet spread "The Art of War," and the war was still in a state of self-discipline and restoration of propriety. Otherwise, even more civilians and soldiers would have died because of the war!
However, it was precisely because of the war that the land of Kyushu produced a great number of talented people. Leaders of various schools of thought, such as Legalism, Confucianism, Mohism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Yin-Yang School, emerged one after another, eventually forming a situation of a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending!
Bai Zhen was not concerned about the chaos among the human race. He simply watched quietly, wondering if humanity could gain sufficient benefits from it and advance further!
Meanwhile, the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti were not idle. They either sent their disciples down to the mortal realm to establish their lineages, or they reincarnated as avatars to leave their lineages among the human race!
Among these five saint-level powerhouses, the most extravagant was Taiqing Daode Tianzun, who used the Six Paths of Reincarnation to reincarnate his benevolent self, Taishang Laojun, who possessed saint-level combat power!
Moreover, unlike those powerful beings who reincarnate as humans from a wisp of their primordial spirit, when Taiqing Daode Tianzun reincarnated his good corpse, he made him drink Meng Po soup, which means that all past lives are forgotten. Unless Taishang Laojun can recover to the level of a quasi-saint, Taishang Laojun will not be able to remember a single thing about his past life!
As for whether his cultivation level can be restored to the level of a saint after regaining his memories, that is entirely a matter of opinion. After all, in the prehistoric world, it is not easy to achieve the Dao of Hunyuan!
Although Laozi had the foundation of a saint in his previous life, making it much easier for him to attain the Primordial Dao than others, there were many unfortunate souls in the prehistoric world who, after reincarnation, could not restore their cultivation to the peak of their previous life!
As for the Western Two Sages, the price they paid among the Five Sages was not much less than that of the Supreme Pure Moral Heavenly Venerable. In addition to becoming Heavenly Dao Sages, using their Sage-level computing power to deduce the correct cultivation path of the Three Corpses to attain the Dao, and forcibly making all disciples of the Western Sect sever their corpses with relics, the Western Two Sages also deduced how to make up for the price they should pay for taking the wrong path back then!
After some deduction, the two Western sages found a way to make amends. They also took advantage of the period when the human race entered a period of great intellectual ferment and reincarnated their good corpses into the human race. However, their good corpses did not drink the Meng Po soup, so they did not suffer from amnesia!
