The immortals who had been coaxed over by Zhunti instantly regretted it upon seeing this chaotic mess. They would've been better off meditating in their own cave abodes!
In one word: chaos.
Jieyin wasn't skilled in governance, and Zhunti was still injured. The two of them were so overwhelmed that they couldn't sort out the current state of Buddhism. After all, many of the means they could use against outsiders weren't suitable for their own people.
Buddhism was now short on money, land, and people.
The duo had no choice but to ask the Eastern Saints for help.
"You better come up with something, or we can't hold on any longer!"
What they really needed now was a CEO.
With Zhunti injured, he couldn't afford to spend all his time here. But he truly couldn't handle the situation at hand. "You Three Pure Ones pick someone who'll satisfy both of us!"
