Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 839 Zixiao Palace

The intention of guiding the Buddha is no secret, and Tongtian Sect Master naturally would not agree. My founding disciple is closer to me than my own son, and nothing has happened to him. Why should he turn to Buddhism?
If you don’t agree, get out!
Taoist Duobao actually has some connections with the original Western religion, but this is due to many reasons, such as leaving a way out for himself, or wanting to gain some new insights on the Taoist path, and so on.

He is not opposed to Western religions or Buddhism, but he will not convert to Buddhism at this juncture. It is really not worth it.

Cultivation is a cycle within a cycle. When you first enter the path, you need qualifications and need to comprehend the principles of heaven and earth. Then you start to accumulate resources, and then you need to gain various insights.

At present, Duobao Taoist has already killed the second corpse and is in a situation where he needs to attain enlightenment at a higher level. The resources of the big sects are seriously unattractive to him. Even if he needs resources, he can also obtain these things in the Jiejiao. Why should he betray Tongtian, the master who taught him for countless eons, and turn to Buddhism?

Now he is just a hands-off boss in Jiejiao, enjoying the benefits. All the work in the sect is presided over by the Golden Spirit Holy Mother. If he goes to Buddhism, he will have to work hard. He goes to Buddhism because he has nothing better to do.

Both Tongtian Sect Master and Duobao Taoist Master himself clearly refused to lead the Buddha.

What about the other candidates? Lao Zhao was actually quite capable, but his care for his younger sister was so outrageous that the Jie Yin Buddha looked down on him. The other female immortals all had their own problems, and none of them were as good as Duo Bao Dao Ren.

The Buddha Jie Yin knew that he could not fool the Great Master Xuan Du, as that would force the Saint Tai Qing to turn against him. He could only put pressure on the Eastern Taoist sect. I want people and territory at the same time. The Western world in the traditional sense is too small and there are too few resources for cultivation. He wants a larger space.

At present, the Three Pure Ones have only agreed that Buddhism can continue to expand its territory in the underworld. After all, that is the place of the Goddess of Peace, and they have nothing to lose by taking other people's things as a favor.

After finishing the remote conversation with several saints, Jie Yin pondered for a moment. At one moment, he wanted to wake up Zhunti who was in retreat, but finally gave up the idea.

Junior Brother Zhunti has been planning for the Western Religion for countless years and is now seriously injured. It is better not to disturb him.

Just when he was about to think of another solution, Zhunti pushed the door open with a pale face.

Jie Yin made a bitter face: "Junior brother, why are you doing this?"

Zhunti smiled and said, "I am feeling uneasy. Senior Brother, please allow me to help you think about it."

The brothers discussed the current dilemma.

Jie Yin lacked the ability to coordinate and manage educational affairs, but he was not lacking in wisdom.

Now the Three Pure Ones refuse to let anyone go, naturally they have something to rely on. If Buddhism really collapses, the first ones to suffer will be the Buddhist disciples, the Buddha and the Buddha Mother.

For the sake of their own paths, the brothers have to persevere for a while.

"Brother, I have a plan."

Zhunti couldn't think of a good solution. Tongtian Patriarch wouldn't let them go, Duobao Daoist didn't want to come either. You can't just go to the Biyou Palace and forcibly abduct them, right? That would be truly demonic.

But they can imitate precedents, but whom can they imitate?

The brothers took off their cassocks, put on Taoist robes again, and without wearing any accessories, left the Paradise and headed directly to the Zixiao Palace. They wanted to follow Haotian's example and cry to the Taoist Ancestor.

Their determination was so strong that it didn't take them long to find the Zixiao Palace, which looked like an abandoned Taoist temple, in the chaos.

Ninety-nine percent of the 3,000 guests of the former Purple Cloud Palace had been reduced to ashes. Even the attendant boys were gone from the Dao Palace's gate, leaving it looking somewhat dilapidated, like the completely withered Xuan Sect. Jie Yin and Zhunti stood respectfully at the gate, bowing and paying their respects. "Teacher, disciples Jie Yin and Zhunti beg to see you."

After waiting for a cup of tea, the wooden door slowly opened. The faces of the Three Pure Ones changed slightly, while Jie Yin and Zhunti showed a hint of joy on their faces.

After an unknown amount of time, Hongjun's aged voice rang out in the saints' ears: "Please come to Zixiao Palace. I have something to discuss with you."

No one, including Nuwa, dared to delay. They all rode on colorful auspicious clouds and hurried to the Zixiao Palace.

The distances of their journeys varied, and their levels of cultivation were also different, but the time they took to arrive at the Zixiao Palace was exactly the same.

The four saints looked unhappy, but they still bowed and walked into the Zixiao Palace.

The last time I came here, it was to discuss the matter of Conferred Gods. Now that the Conferred Gods is about to end, I didn’t expect you to come back again.

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa were not in a good mood. No matter how glorious they were outside, when they arrived at the Zixiao Palace, they were only disciples.

Hongjun said that he discussed it with them, but in reality their choices were only "obey the teacher's orders", "Yes, teacher" and "very good".

Hongjun was wearing a navy blue Taoist robe, with white hair and beard, looking like an ordinary old Taoist.

He appeared silently. Taiqing used his divine sense to investigate but could not find any trace of the Taoist aura of this teacher when he arrived.

It's all over the place. It's all over the place.

Yuanshi Tianzun was worried that the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation in Guangchengzi's soul would be discovered. Because of this thing, his attention to the Conferred God Ceremony dropped significantly.

Tongtian Patriarch was also thinking about how to reject the unreasonable demands of Buddha and Buddha Mother without angering Hongjun.

Nuwa Nuwa was planning to go back and practice in seclusion. Hongjun was much stronger than her and she didn't feel safe at all.

Hongjun got straight to the point and pointed at Jieyin: "His Buddhism needs some help. You are all saints of the prehistoric heavenly way. Would you be willing to send some of your disciples to help?"

The Three Pure Ones and Nuwa felt that this scene was inexplicably familiar. It seemed that Haotian had used the same rhetoric when he wanted to confer the title of God in the past. Was he doing it again now?
Taiqing and Nuwa remained silent. They only had one disciple, so no matter how the turn came, it would never be their turn.

Yuanshi Tianzun thought for a moment and said, "One of my disciples, Juliusun from Feiyun Cave on Jialong Mountain, can convert to Buddhism."

We have already sent out a Taoist priest named Cihang, and now we can send another one named Juliusun. Isn’t that good enough?
The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were so powerful in the past. Now, with Yu Ding's death, Dao Xing possessed by the devil, and the departure of Ci Hang and Ju Liusun, one third of the disciples are gone.

Hongjun remained silent, and the pressure inevitably fell on Tongtian Sect Master.

After several rounds of "elimination" in Jiejiao, the Ten Thousand Immortals no longer exist, but the various miscellaneous disciples still number about 5,000. In the original time and space, the 3,000 mortals who were taken away by the Qiankun Bag in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation are basically all in Jiejiao now.

Many of these Jiejiao immortals have come into contact with Western religions or Buddhism. Now that the Tongtian Sect leader is gone, there is no obstacle to changing sides immediately. The problem now is that the Tongtian Sect leader is still there, so who would dare to leave? Do you think my Four Swords of Zhuxian are not sharp enough?
