The academy and his party did not stay in this city for too long, this was just a transit station, and their destination was the holy land of the Buddha country, the center of the Northern Desert - Lingshan!

Although the northern desert is relatively desolate, it has to be said that the area is very vast, so it took a lot of time on the road.

so-called

"Lingshan" is the holy land of the Northern Desert Buddha Kingdom, and its status is equivalent to the Xuantian Mountain of the Daomen, and it even has a victory.

After all, among the Daomen, although the Xuantian Sect is the leader, not all the people of the Daomen aspire to it, they are more inclined to their own sect.

But here it is different, although there are many large and small sects of Buddhism, but for them, this spiritual mountain is the only holy place!

The northern desert is divided into the left region of the monk in the vertical domain, and this spiritual mountain is located at the junction of the two domains, and the status is respected.

Within Buddhism, the two most influential sects are:

"Buddha Heart Sect" and

The "Shingon Sect", and the rest have many small and medium-sized sects, but they are far inferior to these two in terms of scale and power.

The Buddha Heart Sect advocates the cultivation of the mind, through the practice of the mind to achieve sublimation, so as to get rid of the troubles of the world and reach a higher state of life.

Shingon Buddhism, on the other hand, believes that the teachings taught by the Buddha are not all the same, but are very different.

Among them, the manifestation of the Dharma is to pass on it to ordinary believers and use it to educate; Tantra is passed down to the Buddha's relatives and is mostly used by core disciples.

so-called

"The law does not pass on the six ears" comes from this. There are many differences in the teachings of the various sects, and some of them are completely contradictory, so they are constantly fighting, and they all think that they are orthodox.

However, they surprisingly agreed with the statement that Lingshan was the only holy place. Every year at a certain time, no matter what sect it is, all the disciples of the Buddhist sect will come together to make a pilgrimage.

Even some disciples of Buddhism from other regions will travel long distances, which can be described as extremely devout!

The academy and his party did not catch up with such a grand scene this time, but what they saw was enough to be called shocking!

The closer you are to Lingshan, the bigger the city and the better the environment. In this desolate place, it can be said that the people live and work in peace and contentment, surrounded by birds and flowers.

Lingshan is more than 10,000 zhang high, and the whole body seems to be cast of pure gold, exuding a golden light, which makes people can't help but be in awe, and dare not have the slightest blasphemy thought.

There are still people elsewhere, and here, all of them are disciples of Buddhism. They come from various denominations, with different costumes and different doctrines, but they can quietly cooperate and worship the holy places in their hearts.

There are countless temples of all kinds on Lingshan, and the academy and his party were arranged in a city not far from the foot of Lingshan, and they could only go up to Lingshan to worship after all factions arrived.

Naturally, everyone had no objection to this, so they stayed in the arranged Buddhist house, and prepared for the next martial arts competition with peace of mind.

Although the martial arts competition was led by the three sects, there were countless sects that came to participate, and it could be regarded as the largest event in the rivers and lakes.

In addition to the special existence of the academy, whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, there are many sects in itself.

Xuantian Sect, as the leader of the Dao Gate, cannot represent the entire Dao Gate. Among them, Wudang, Dragon and Tiger and other sects have their own inheritance, have a long history, and also have a pivotal position in the Daomen.

There has always been a rumor on the rivers and lakes

The saying of "three religions, seven sects and twelve sects". this

The "Three Religions" are naturally the Daomen, the Buddhist Sect and the Academy, and these three schools are also stable and transcendent forces.

The "Seven Sects" are the Xuantian Sect, Wudang Mountain, Longhu Mountain, as well as the Buddha Heart Sect of the Buddha Sect, the Shingon Sect and the other two forces that do not belong to the three religions.

As for why

"Three Teachings" and

There is overlap between the "seven sects", so we have to mention the basis for dividing the forces.

The "three religions" do not refer to a specific sect, but are a collective term for that sect. Naturally, there are people within their sect who hold bull's ears, such as the Xuantian Sect of the Dao Sect.

However, it cannot represent the existence of a religion alone, and can only be said to have a greater right to speak. Of course, the existence of Xuantian Sect is extremely special, not to mention in the Daomen, but also in the history of the Three Sects!

Because it is not only the bearer of the Daomen, but also has the absolute right to speak in the Daomen, it is not so unacceptable to say that it represents the entire Daomen.

Even in recent years, there has been such a voice within the Dao Gate, claiming that the Xuantian Sect will unify the Dao Gate and erase all other voices that do not conform to the Xuantian Doctrine.

Although the Xuantian Sect later came forward to refute the rumors, it finally made people panic, and the various sects became more and more uneasy.

Among them, Wudang Mountain and Longhu Mountain reacted the most intensely, because once Xuantian Sect made a move, then the two of them would definitely bear the brunt!

After that, the matter was settled, but the voice of the Xuantian Sect in the Dao Gate was tending to be unique, which made the various sects worried.

As for the Buddha Sect, it is also a similar situation, but the strength of the two major sects of the Buddha Heart Sect and the Shingon Sect is similar, so they have not been sure that they can stabilize the other side for many years, so there is a situation of confrontation between the two sides.

Among them, the academy is an extremely special existence, which represents Confucianism as one of the three religions, and its status is transcendent.

However, the seowon is not a force with strict organizational rules. As its name suggests, a college is more than just a college.

It trains students, imparts knowledge, and produces a large number of talents. Some of these people devoted themselves to secular dynasties, some devoted themselves to the study of knowledge, and some of them crisscrossed the martial arts and walked the rivers and lakes.

The trajectories of the people of the academy are varied, but this is in line with the teaching purpose of the academy, they never mass-produce machines, but cultivate people with personalities!

These people who walked out of the academy were scattered all over the Metaverse and in all walks of life, and only those teachings in the academy could be counted as real combat power.

However, no one dares to underestimate the academy because of this. If something happens, there is no doubt that many of these students who walked out of the academy in the past have now become giants, and they will not hesitate to take action.

When these people gather in the academy, what kind of power should burst out, this power is afraid that even the Xuantian Sect, which is known as the number one sect in the Dao Sect, dare not underestimate it!

Therefore, although the discipline of the academy is loose and there is no organizational structure that a transcendent sect should have, no one dares to think that it is not worthy of virtue.

On the contrary, the vast majority of people are convinced that the academy is one of the three religions. Of course, part of the reason for this is that the mysterious dean of the academy who has seen the head but not the tail, only heard his name, but has not seen his person.

How strong the dean is, no one knows. However, there were rumors that he fought on Xuantian Mountain, and sat down with the Buddha on the spiritual mountain of the Buddha Kingdom.

Extremely chic, incomparably floating, showing the demeanor of a reader! However, all of this is based on its own strong strength, and if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that I will not know how to die.

Therefore, everyone knows that the dean of the college is very strong, not ordinarily strong!

The "Three Religions" rank transcendent, then

The "Seven Sects" are undoubtedly the first-class forces, and the following

The "Twelve Factions" are quasi-first-class forces. Of course, there are many sects in the rivers and lakes, so it is naturally impossible to include them all

The "Three Sects, Seven Sects, and Twelve Sects" are just a rough ranking of the existing forces in the rivers and lakes by people with good deeds.

There are countless small and medium-sized sects that have no chance to enter this list, and they are also part of this Jianghu.

In addition, there are some hidden sects, they keep a low profile and rarely show traces in front of the world, but this does not mean that their strength is not good.

There is a ranking in history

One of the "Twelve Sects" provoked a hidden sect, and within three days, the entire sect was slaughtered.

Of course, such bloody methods naturally attracted the attention of the three sects, and they joined forces to attack, even if it was a hidden sect, they couldn't resist it.

In the end, the Hidden World Sect was defeated, and the two sides reached an agreement, and the Hidden World Sect has since fled and never appeared again.

The thing is settled, but that

One of the "Twelve Sects" is no longer a sect, and the previous status of the rivers and lakes has been quickly replaced by other sects, what a bother!

Since then, all sects have restrained their disciples and must not provoke the hidden sect. It's not that they can't really beat it at all, the main thing is that there is no conflict of interest between them, and they lose both, and let others pick up the cheap, which is more than worth the loss!

In the past few days, people from various sects and sects have also arrived one after another, and all parties have gathered in the Northern Desert Buddha Country to wait for the opening of this martial arts event.

This time, many of them were acquaintances, such as Xuantian Sect's Zong Chai and others, who had a lot of conflicts with the academy side in the abyss, and even the death of Liu Chuang's teaching and learning later had nothing to do with them.

Lin Yan, Yuan Hao and the others looked at each other, their eyes narrowed slightly, this time they must take this group of sinister villains down and give Liu Chuang a bad breath.

Although the people who intercepted and killed that day had been killed by Liu Chuang, who broke out, the grudge between him and Xuantian Sect would not disappear.

At least Lin Yan and the others are almost all disgusted when they see Xuantian Sect now, and the clues found by the Tianjue Mountain Range are also related to Xuantian Sect, which shows that most of their parents' disappearance is also inseparable from Xuantian Sect.

In this way, how could Lin Yan have other feelings for Xuantian Sect, of course, he could target it, but now his own strength is still too weak, and he can only start on a formal occasion recognized by all parties, such as Wubi!

In addition, he also found two familiar figures in the crowd, which were Feng Yichen and Mo Xiaoxiao, and the camp they were in was ...... Wudang?

These two guys, it was solved at the beginning

During the "Pluto Incident", he also said that he came from a small sect. Ranked

If Wudang Mountain, one of the "Seven Sects", is still a small sect, then there will be no big sect!

However, at that time, it is estimated that few people will reveal their true background, which is understandable. Now that we see each other again, we naturally want to go up and say hello.

Lin Yan and Xie Yuan roughly talked about the situation, arched their hands, and then walked towards the Wudang camp......
