Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 522: Internal Conflicts of Jiejiao

It is not difficult to guess what Taoist Duobao is thinking. Even female fairies like Qiongxiao and Bixiao who are ignorant of worldly affairs can see some clues.

To resist foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the country. Taking advantage of the opportunity of meetings and consultations, he used words, morality and even religious rules to discourage his fellow disciples from competing for the throne, turning them into his helpers and helping him seize the throne.

The Jiejiao sect is not as close as a family. There are also conflicts and factions within it.

Why do you want the sainthood?
Taoist Duobao believes that in addition to cultivation, reputation is also important.

Because of Wen Zhong's death in protecting the Shang Dynasty, the reputation of the Golden Spirit Mother in the Jiejiao sect dropped significantly.

The same thing happened to Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao. Yunxiao lost the Hunyuan Golden Bowl, which caused her to suffer a lot of criticism from many of her fellow disciples. Zhao Gongming was furious and raised an army, but ended up losing hundreds of Jiejiao disciples. His reputation, which he had accumulated for countless years, plummeted.

For Duobao Taoist, this is a situation of worse than worse. I don't need to be better than you. The more I do, the more mistakes I make. The less I do, the fewer mistakes I make. If I do nothing, I make no mistakes. I do nothing, and my reputation is higher than that of the Golden Spirit Mother, Zhao Gongming, and the Three Sky who make trouble every day.

In the Jiejiao sect, only Duobao, Jinling and Yunxiao are quasi-saints. If he defeats these two competitors, he will win.

There are not many opponents outside the church.

There are many disciples in the Western religion, but no quasi-saints.

Deng Chanyu has just reached the Golden Immortal level. To Taoist Duobao, no matter whether you are the reincarnation of an ancient great man or not, you are still far from that level.

Guangchengzi of the Chan sect is only a Daluo Jinxian.

Dipankara is dead. Even if he were alive, the saints would not allow him to become a saint.

The one who poses a threat to Duobao is the Immortal of the South Pole. He entered Taoism very early, almost before the Three Pure Ones split up. After Tongtian Patriarch accepted Duobao as his first disciple, Yuanshi Tianzun also accepted the Immortal of the South Pole.

The Great Master Xuandu of the Human Religion is a quasi-saint, and this poses the greatest threat to Taoist Duobao. No matter how he practices inaction, he will not give up the position of saint. Saint Taiqing is an example.

As long as he could deal with the junior brothers and sisters in Jiejiao, Duobao Daoist would have one and a half competitors. Xuandu Dafashi was one, Nanji Xianweng was half, and the others? Who else could he have?

If there had not been irrefutable evidence regarding Yun Zhongzi's affairs, Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao would have suspected that it was Taoist Duobao who was secretly plotting to weaken the combination of Zhao Gongming and the Three Xiaos, who posed the greatest threat to him within the Jiejiao sect, to the extreme, and then step forward himself to seize the throne of sainthood.

Qiong Xiao said seriously, "Sister, don't give up."

Bixiao rarely kept a straight face and said in a very organized manner: "With the support of big brother and us sisters, and the favor of our teacher, we sisters have always respected the Nuwa Palace. Perhaps we can even win the support of the goddess Nuwa. Sister, you must fight for it!"

The two fairies were afraid that their elder sister, who had always been content with her lot, would give up this opportunity, so they tried to persuade her earnestly.

Yunxiao himself was also hesitant.

She had already cultivated to the Quasi-Saint realm, so to say she had no interest in the Sainthood was nonsense. However, she did not like fighting by nature, and it was really out of character for her to fall out with her brothers and sisters in the Jiejiao sect.

Yunxiao put on a helpless expression, "Brother Duobao has achieved great success. If he attains the status of a saint, it will be a good thing for Jiejiao. Let's not delay any longer and head to the main hall immediately."

Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao's expressions were filled with disappointment. They exchanged glances, then nodded silently. Whether Yun Xiao agreed or not, they had to reclaim this sacred position from her! Duobao? Did he deserve it?! Even if he was accused of breaking his promise, it didn't matter. They both had a bad reputation for this, so why were they being so unreasonable? What was going on? What Jiejiao rule had they violated?
"When you meet Senior Brother Duobao and the other Senior Sisters, you must be polite and put away your temper from the Three Immortals Island. This is the Biyou Palace, understand?"

"I understand, sister."

Yunxiao thought her two younger sisters had come to terms with it, and she herself was in a state of confusion, so she didn't think much about it.

The three sisters walked together to the main hall.

At this time, the people in the main hall were Duobao, Jinling, Guiling, Wudang, Zhao Gongming and Wuyunxian. Together with Sanxiao, they were exactly nine high-ranking immortals of the Jiejiao who were holding closed-door consultations.

Duobao looked down on Qiongxiao and Bixiao, regardless of their character or cultivation. He was just worried that Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao would not come, so he brought these two troublemakers along.

Yunxiao saw that all the senior brothers and sisters had arrived. She did not take a seat, but bowed and apologized first: "I am sorry to have troubled you all to wait for so long. Yunxiao and I are late. Please forgive us."

The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother had previously made a big joke in front of all the saints and all the prehistoric immortals because of the matter of the Hunyuan Golden Bowl. The Patriarch Tongtian didn't say anything and even comforted her with a few words, but she herself was very angry. When she saw Yunxiao at this time, the evil fire could not be suppressed.

"Junior Sister Yunxiao is truly blessed with a pitiful appearance. You've been practicing in seclusion, but do you know how many Jiejiao disciples have died because of you sisters?!"

Yunxiao's expression changed slightly. She was planning to take the blame for the loss of the Hunyuan Golden Bowl, but she was not prepared to take such a big blame.

No matter how quiet she was, she was still a primitive person. A quasi-saint was scolded in front of her by a Daluo Jinxian, and she was very dissatisfied. Tongtian Patriarch gave her the Hunyuan Golden Bowl, and the teacher didn't say anything. Who do you think you are?

She didn't say anything. Zhao Gongming, who was called in mid-meal planting, was the first to get angry: "Senior Sister, you are so unreasonable. Those disciples went to the Blood River for my eldest sister? Were they killed by my eldest sister? This matter has nothing to do with my sister from beginning to end. Senior Sister, if you are angry, just come to me, Zhao!"

Gui Ling sneered, "Didn't you lead so many Jiejiao disciples to seek revenge on Yun Zhongzi? If it weren't for you, how could those hundreds of disciples be buried in the river of blood? You are a true hero, a reputable man of integrity. Seeing the opportunity to achieve enlightenment, you just walked away. In the eyes of your senior brother Zhao, those disciples combined are no more than a hair on your sister's head, right?"

Zhao Gongming was not afraid of her at all: "The purpose of our sect is to seize the glimmer of opportunity. If we don't fight or compete, will the opportunity fall on its own? Senior Sister, you only saw hundreds of disciples die tragically, but didn't you see more disciples gain opportunities?"

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother had just recently learned of Wen Zhong's death and was originally going to seek revenge on Jiang Ziya, but Taoist Duobao forcibly called her back with the religious rules and the instructions of Taoist Master Tongtian.

She hadn't sorted out her own affairs yet, and when she returned to Biyou Palace and encountered a quarrel among her fellow disciples, she felt very annoyed. She slammed the table and stood up.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Faced with this senior sister of Jiejiao, Zhao Gongming and Gui Ling could only suppress their anger and turn their heads away.

The Golden Spirit Mother looked at Duobao Taoist and asked knowingly, "Brother, I wonder what the reason is for calling us here this time?"

After all, her value as the eldest senior sister is not as good as that of the eldest senior brother Duobao. There is a gap between the two in terms of cultivation, reputation and character.

Taoist Duobao is now very close to beheading the two corpses, only one step away.
