Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man performed a Taoist salute and replied, "This humble Taoist's name is Flying Bear!"
His pupils contracted slightly; he hadn't expected that his casual question would lead to this person!
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Fei Xiong is very polite!"
Ao Yifan smiled and returned the greeting.
Suddenly, the surrounding world changed, and countless golden lotuses slowly drifted down, clearly indicating the arrival of an important figure.
"This Manjushri Bodhisattva has quite the grand entrance... no, that's not right, his aura is coming from outside the mountain gate!"
Ao Yifan turned around and looked into the distance.
At the same time, the middle-aged man and Rong Shan beside him also looked wary.
They never expected that their usually leisurely task of guarding the Jade Void Mountain gate would become so troublesome today.
First, a disciple of Manjushri Bodhisattva came to seek apprenticeship, and now, a person with great supernatural powers has arrived.
"The principles of opening up the world and creating heaven and earth are clear; discussing scriptures and laws, they traveled to the capital. At that time, there were no stars in the Milky Way; first came the Intercepting Sect, then came heaven!"
A poetic chant drifted from the sky, and its contents caused the expressions of all the disciples of Jade Void Palace to change drastically.
The newcomers were none other than members of the Jie Sect!
The three schools of thought were equally renowned; however, apart from the Human School, neither the Chan School nor the Jie School were willing to submit to the others.
Now, a poem by a member of the Jie Sect has revealed their ambition!
"Hehe, Senior Brother Zhao Gongming, your tone is as arrogant as ever. Why don't you come out and meet me?"
With a soft laugh, the next moment, a gentle breeze blew, the golden lotus in the air paused slightly, and then disappeared. Immediately afterwards, a kind-faced Taoist appeared from afar.
"Master!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Jinzha bowed. Regardless of his inner thoughts, on the surface, Jinzha remained a respectful and well-behaved child.
Looking at Jinzha, a hint of joy flashed in Manjushri's eyes, and he nodded, saying, "Not bad, not bad!"
Although he chose this person to shield him from calamity, if his disciple is good enough, he can not only better shield him from calamity, but it would also be a great honor to take him out, wouldn't it?
Clearly, Manjushri Bodhisattva is now very satisfied with Jinzha.
Overflowing with ethereal beauty and possessing a light and agile physique, she truly possesses the appearance of a celestial being!
Manjushri Bodhisattva believed that as long as Jinzha followed him in his cultivation, he would surely soar to great heights!
"Hehe, Junior Brother Manjushri, this little child is your disciple?"
Just then, a gust of wind swept in, followed by a rainbow of clouds pressing down.
Above the clouds stood a group of powerful immortals. The one in the lead was burly, wearing an iron crown and with a dark complexion. He was none other than Zhao Gongming, the current chief disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect!
"This is the unlucky God of Wealth of the future!"
Looking at Zhao Gongming, Ao Yifan, who was holding Muzha, thought to himself.
However, he didn't particularly care about Zhao Gongming. What he really cared about were the three fairies shrouded in clouds beside Zhao Gongming!
The Three Immortal Maidens of the Jie Sect were not only powerful, but also the most beautiful in the entire Biyou Palace.
Upon seeing him now, Ao Yifan couldn't help but take a second look.
There's no way around it, those long legs lined up in a row are practically blinding.
Of course, the Three Immortal Maidens only glanced at Ao Yifan's worldly perspective and didn't take it to heart. Instead, it was Muzha in Ao Yifan's arms that made the Three Immortal Maidens take a few more glances.
Unfortunately, although the teachings of the Jie Sect emphasize education for all, unlike the Chan Sect which places great importance on lineage.
However, who would complain about having too few disciples with exceptional talent?
Clearly, in the eyes of the Three Immortal Maidens, Muzha, whom Ao Yifan held in his arms, was quite talented.
"Little child, I see you have a connection with our sect. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"
Yunxiao, the eldest of the Three Immortal Maidens, parted her red lips slightly and looked at Muzha.
"This……"
For a moment, everyone in the room was stunned.
After all, this is the Jade Void Palace of the Chan Sect. Is it really okay for the Jie Sect to snatch people right in front of the Chan Sect?
"Senior Sister Yunxiao, this child..."
Manjushri Bodhisattva was immediately anxious. He knew very well that Muzha was destined to be with his junior brother, Samantabhadra. He couldn't let the Jie Sect snatch him away. Otherwise, his junior brother would probably have nowhere to cry.
"What? You want to stop me?"
Yunxiao's beautiful eyes narrowed. Although she looked gentle and kind, in reality, in terms of skill, she was even stronger than Zhao Gongming, the senior disciple of the outer sect, within the Jie Sect.
"I……"
Under the watchful gaze of the Cloud Fairy, Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, could not utter a word.
There was no way around it; the fearsome reputation of this Fairy Yunxiao was even known within the Chan Sect.
“Junior Sister Yunxiao, why do this? The three religions are of one mind and are closely connected. It is not good to damage the harmony for the sake of a disciple.”
Just then, a voice came from inside the gate of Jade Void Palace.
"Big Brother!"
Looking at the peaches above the clouds, Manjushri Bodhisattva bowed in reverence.
The disciples of the Chan Sect present also bowed in greeting, which shows the status of the Boundless Immortal in the Chan Sect!
"Immeasurable Immortal Elder, I, Yunxiao, want this disciple. I said no one can change my mind!"
Facing the Boundless Immortal, Fairy Yunxiao did not retreat an inch, her aura surging like a tidal wave.
"hehe"
Faced with the terrifying aura of Fairy Yunxiao, Immortal Wuliang simply chuckled and gently waved his wooden staff, instantly blocking the aura emanating from Fairy Yunxiao.
"Junior Sister Yunxiao, your temper has only gotten worse over the years!"
Just then, several more beams of light flew over, belonging to the remaining members of the Twelve Golden Immortals.
"To see so many important figures at the same time, I have no regrets in this life!"
Rong Shan trembled slightly with excitement.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged man's eyes flashed with envy, but his demeanor was much better than Rong Shan's.
"Junior Brother Zhao, what exactly is the purpose of your arrival here, you immortals of the Intercepting Sect?"
Seeing that his people had arrived, Wuliang Immortal Elder breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He and Manjushri, the Heavenly Venerable of Vast Dharma, faced immense pressure when confronting the immortals of the Jie Sect.
"A Discussion of the Three Teachings!"
Zhao Gongming stated his purpose directly.
"The Three Teachings Discussing the Dao? Is this decision made by Uncle Tongtian, or by you all?"
To be honest, the debate among the three religions has existed since ancient times.
However, as the differences between the doctrines of the Chan and Jie schools grew, the conflicts between the two schools also deepened.
Therefore, in the nearly ten years since then, there has not been another "Three Teachings Discussion".
"My master is currently in seclusion on Jin'ao Island. This discussion of the three religions was decided by us and Senior Brother Zhao together."
"That's what Fairy Yunxiao said."
"You've decided to open the Three Teachings Discussion without my permission, Junior Sister Yunxiao. Aren't you afraid of being punished by Uncle Tongtian?"
The Boundless Immortal said, squinting his eyes.
“Sitting and discussing the Dao can promote the cultivation of disciples of the three religions. It has only benefits and no drawbacks. Even if our master knew about it, he would not object.”
Zhao Gongming said calmly.
"This is getting interesting!"
Ao Yifan, holding Muzha and pulling Jinzha aside, knew that such a contest between important figures was not something he could get involved in at his current level.

"Immeasurable Immortal, could it be that your Chan Sect is afraid of the immortals of our Jie Sect?"
Of the three Xiao sisters, Qiongxiao had the worst temper, so she immediately used reverse psychology.
These words immediately created a tense atmosphere between the two sides.
"Senior Brother, what should we do about this?"
Guang Chengzi transmitted his voice, "Should we report to our master?"
The discussion among the three religions was no small matter. On the surface, it was a gathering of disciples from the three religions to discuss the Dao and promote their spiritual cultivation.
In fact, the outcome of each debate has a high probability of affecting the fortunes of the three religions.
Putting aside everything else, the one who wins the debate will have his reputation spread throughout the Three Realms for a hundred years, and will also influence the results of accepting disciples for the next few hundred years.
"Why trouble Master with such a trivial matter?"
The Boundless Immortal Elder chuckled and said, “Since the immortals of the Jie Sect wish to experience the principles of my Chan Sect, then how can we back down? Fellow disciples, let’s open the Jade Void Dojo!”
"Jade Void Dojo! Senior Brother, why have you come to this?"
Cihang Daoren's face showed a compassionate expression as he said, "If the Yuxu Daoist Temple is opened, the three religions will discuss the Dao, which may harm harmony."
"Hmph, Junior Sister Cihang, the immortals of the Jie Sect are being aggressive, so our Chan Sect naturally needs to show our attitude as well. Otherwise, wouldn't we be lacking in manners?"
The Grand Master Lingbao stroked his beard and said.
"This……"
Cihang Daoren was at a loss for words.
Indeed, the Jie Sect was far too aggressive this time. If the Chan Sect continues to back down, its prestige may be affected, and it might be difficult to explain to their master, Yuanshi Tianzun.
