Chapter 118: Not This Fate

But now Ye Yu needs more mental power, and he needs the people's attention every day. That is undoubtedly the most effective way to establish a Taoist tradition and a religion.

And now, within a hundred miles of Yinxian Peak, there is indeed a sect that respects Ye Yu as the leader.

But the speed was too slow, so Ye Yu decided to do it himself.

Ye Yu doesn't have much experience in establishing a religion, but it doesn't matter. In the world Ye Yu lived in before, there were too many religions that he could learn from.

"The religion we establish must be expansive and aggressive, the so-called education, so that it can expand outward, but we must also try to maintain a certain degree of purity, otherwise it will easily go astray.

Dao Zun, that is, me, is the ancestor of Dao and the origin of the Dharma. If you become my disciple and recite my commandments, you can be reincarnated and transcend, gain great freedom, and attain immortality, and enter the immortal court..."

Ye Yu began to mutter some precautions about religious doctrines and some draft outlines of scriptures.

Every popular religion has its own Bible, so Ye Yu would naturally want to create one too.

The main reference objects are naturally the globally popular religions such as Buddhism and Christianity.

As for Taoism being too Buddhist, it would be fine if it were an ordinary Taoist tradition, but if Ye Yu wanted to gather more power of thought, it was obviously not suitable for this model.

While Ye Yu was preparing, he immediately called all his disciples to his presence.

"I want to establish a religion and pass down the tradition of Taoism, and open the door to immortality for all sentient beings in this world."

As soon as Ye Yu's words came out, the expressions of all the disciples were shocked and they all became excited.

This is a big deal, even for everyone in the world.

The Qin Dynasty had more than a thousand counties. If one wanted to quickly screen and mobilize these people, Emperor Qin Shi Huang was undoubtedly the best candidate.

"This time I want to select 3,000 to 5,000 registered disciples, teach them the internal cultivation methods for those with minor accomplishments, and station them in counties and prefectures throughout the country to preach and build temples. They will rotate every three to five years. Those who have achieved success can be appointed as outer disciples and stationed in the nine hills outside the Hidden Immortal Peak."

"Let Ying Zheng do the preliminary announcement and screening!"

After Ye Yu finished speaking, many of the disciples present couldn't help but take a deep breath. This move was really huge!
The Nine Hills outside the Hidden Immortal Peak are actually the nine hills surrounding the back mountain where the black tiger monster often goes out. Now there are sparse spiritual material nodes everywhere, which is suitable for accommodating so many outer disciples.

After they are promoted to the inner sect, they will be qualified to enter the residence at the foot of Hidden Immortal Peak.

Going further, they settled down on the mountainside.

In fact, the current Hidden Immortal Peak is a thousand meters high and majestic. It is still growing with time. It is unknown how many people it can accommodate, so it is not afraid of having too many disciples.

"Perhaps one day, it is possible that Yinxian Peak will grow into a pillar that supports the sky like Buzhou Mountain. By then, a mountain will even be comparable to a world."

Ye Yu said secretly in his heart.

By then, this will be a true fairyland.

"Yes, sir, Ying Zheng will definitely get this done!"

At this time, Ying Zheng was already so excited that his whole body was slightly shaking. This was a great thing that had happened to him.

In fact, as long as Ye Yu spreads a word, countless people from all over the world will flock to him.

Now that Ye Yu has handed this power over to him, it shows his immense trust in him. Moreover, with the help of this excuse, Ying Zheng can do what is convenient for him. There are so many benefits.

However, Ye Yu naturally could not allow himself to be unrestrained. Ying Zheng was only responsible for the initial screening and examining the character of the people who came.

As for Ye Yu's next stage, he will directly enter the Heart Refining Array. Only those who can pass the test in terms of mental ability can become registered disciples.

Next, Ye Yu discussed some details with many disciples, and half a day later, he let everyone go.

"Master Ye is going to establish a sect and pass down his teachings, opening the door to immortality for all living beings in this world, so that they can have a chance of longevity. There are also 5,000 places for registered disciples this time!"

This piece of news spread throughout the world as if it had wings. In an instant, it was like an 18-magnitude earthquake, which completely shocked the entire Qin people.

Moreover, soon, notices were posted in many counties and prefectures of Daqin to prove that this matter was true.

This time, everyone in the world's eyes were red!
"I will become a disciple of Hidden Immortal Peak and embark on the path to immortality!"

"Among the five thousand places, my name must be there!" "Opportunity, a great opportunity. If I can't grasp it this time, then I will never be able to live forever!"

"Hahaha, I finally got the chance. I'm afraid all of us will have to fight hard this time. I just don't know who can enter this immortal gate!"

The whole world was in uproar and shaking, and countless people seemed to be waking up from silence, including the Hundred Schools of Thought of the Pre-Qin Dynasty who had been dormant.

"There is still a chance to join Hidden Immortal Peak!"

"Great, I've finally waited until this moment."

"With 5,000 spots available, we all have a good chance!"

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Liang, Tian Heng and many other remnants of the nobles of the Six Kingdoms were all excited and looked thrilled.

"I have already cultivated my Qi. This time, Yinxian Peak needs to recruit thousands of people. No one should be able to beat me!"

In the wilderness and forests, Xiang Yu was full of confidence and extremely excited.

"Yes, apart from the few who have successfully practiced the Moon Worship Method, who in the world can compare with Yu'er's talent."

Xiang Liang also agreed with Xiang Yu's words.

Xiang Zhuang, who was standing nearby, was already sweating profusely from his exercise and nodded in agreement.

Xiang Yu's physical talent is truly powerful. Not only does he have supernatural powers, but he can now even cultivate his Qi on his own. I believe this is truly a rare existence in the world.

However, just as the remnants of the nobles of the six kingdoms were ready to fight, Xiang Yu almost regarded himself as a member of the Hidden Immortal Peak.

But soon, they were all dumbfounded.

"This time, the government will conduct an initial screening based on personal moral character, and only those who pass the screening will be able to enter the next round."

This news quickly spread to 48 counties and more than a thousand counties across the country.

It immediately caused another sensation.

Then more details were posted in the notice, such as giving priority to people with good reputation and moral character in the county, and secondly, they should be under 30 years old and in good health, etc.

The local government actually cooperated in the selection..."

Xiang Yu was dumbfounded. The moment he heard the news, he stood there like a wooden chicken.

"No, how could this be!!!"

"We don't even dare to show up in front of the government, how can we be selected? We can't even pass the initial screening!"

“How hateful!”

Countless nobles from the six nations were almost about to explode and couldn't help but sigh to the sky.

"Isn't this my destiny after all?"

When Zhang Liang heard the news, he was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

In fact, this method is similar to the Nine-Rank System of later generations, which relies on local officials to select people with virtue and good reputation.

This is inevitable, and those recommended are likely to be children of prominent families.

This is mainly because local gentry and wealthy families have the right to speak. Only those with power and money can influence more people in the county, so it is naturally easier for their reputation to spread.

The poor are busy struggling for three meals a day, so how can others see their shining virtues and praise them?

Therefore, this system was later replaced by the imperial examination system to select talents. But for Ye Yu, this was not a big disadvantage. Being a child of aristocratic family meant a high level of education, and the literacy rate was needless to say.

Next they will have to go down to the county to preach and build temples, and they will need the talents of these people.

Before the popularization of printing, the reason why the imperial court used the Nine-Rank System to select talents and relied on recommendations from people was undoubtedly due to this reason.
