Plans to Establish the Buddhist Sect
Therefore, even though they were the founders of Buddhist Dao, the two of them still looked down on Buddhist Dao to some extent.
They can allow Western Teachings disciples to cultivate Buddhist Dao, using Buddhist Dao as tools, but they cannot directly say that Buddhist Dao are the main Great Dao cultivated by Western Teachings.
Therefore, it is not advisable for the Journey to the Journey to the West to obtain scriptures directly from the Western Teachings.
"Brother Jieyin, why don't we establish another Buddhist Sect?"
Zhunti thought for a moment and then offered his suggestion to Jieyin.
Jieyin thought about it and felt that this method was feasible, but there was another problem: they didn't have any people in the Western Paradise.
After pondering for a moment, Zhunti and Jieyin decided to go find Laozi and Yuanshi.
They suddenly remembered that, according to the original Heavenly Secrets set by their master Hongjun, they had recruited most of the Jie Sect Disciples from the Interception Sect.
At the same time, what the two also remembered was the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords that Tongtian had used against Mount Sumeru that day.
Since you, Tongtian, are utterly ruthless, then don't blame us for being unjust.
Laozi and Yuanshi were sitting in the Tushita Palace at this moment. When they heard the purpose of Laozi and Zhunti's Jieyin and Zhunti, the same thing that came to their minds was the Heavenly Secrets that Hongjun had originally set out that day.
Laozi thought for a moment, then looked at Jieyin and Zhunti and said frankly, "That Tongtian's eldest disciple, Duobao, is actually a restless person."
During the previous Investiture of the Gods Calamity, only the Three Xiao of the Interception Sect were allowed to enter the formation by Tongtian.
Yunxiao, the leader of the Three Xiao, was the first to step into the Quasi-Sage realm thanks to the Merit Investiture of the Gods. Such glory would surely suppress the aura of Duobao's eldest disciple and make him rebellious.
If you two can guarantee that Duobao will reach the Quasi-Sage realm, then Duobao will surely agree to follow you in establishing Buddhist Sect.
Upon Jieyin and Zhunti, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, thought for a moment, and then gritted their teeth and agreed.
Daoist Duobao was already at the peak of the Daluo Golden Immortal Peak realm. To help him reach the Quasi-Sage realm, only two things were needed.
First, there is the Innate Spiritual Treasure that opens up the Three Corpses; second, there is enough Merit to sever the Three Corpses.
As Tongtian's eldest disciple, Duobao Innate Spiritual Treasures; what he lacked was simply Merit.
Although Jieyin and Zhunti did not possess much Merit, they endured the pain of sacrificing their own flesh for the sake of the prosperity of the Western Paradise.
Seeing that Laozi had recommended Duobao, Yuanshi thought for a moment and pointed out the second Jie Sect Disciple, namely Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal had openly betrayed Tongtian within the Heavenly Secrets.
"The Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal of the Interception Sect should also be able to be brought out."
According to the Heavenly Secrets set by their master, Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal was born rebellious. Moreover, Heavenly Secrets Tian had also seen the Heavenly Tongtian back then, and given Tongtian's temperament, Chang Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal's days were probably numbered.
"It should be quite easy for you to persuade them first."
Jieyin hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti immediately felt that it made sense. Having found a candidate, the two went to the East Sea and secretly found Duobao and Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal to explain their purpose.
As the Four Saints had predicted, the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal agreed without hesitation.
Although Daoist Duobao hesitated for a moment, Daoist Duobao immediately agreed after Zhunti that Duobao be the leader of the Buddhist Sect and that he should hand over the Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, as the Buddhist Sect's most precious treasure.
Duobao hesitated before, mainly because of the Innate Spiritual Treasure.
As Tongtian's eldest disciple, Duobao was well aware of Tongtian's temperament.
If he were to betray his sect, he would have to leave behind all the Innate Spiritual Treasures bestowed upon him by Tongtian. Otherwise, even with the Jieyin of Jieyin and Zhunti, he would not be able to leave the East Sea.
Without the Innate Spiritual Treasure bestowed upon him by Tongtian, even if he could break through to the Quasi-Sage, he wouldn't know what spiritual treasure to use to sever his Three Corpses.
Although he himself possessed Innate Spiritual Treasures, they were all low-level Innate Spiritual Treasure, which he disdained to use. But the Eight Treasures Merit Pool was different; it was Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, so how could he possibly disagree?
However, Duobao was quite decisive. Once he decided to become the leader of the Buddhist Sect, he immediately changed his stance and began to wholeheartedly consider the interests of the Buddhist Sect.
"Two Sage, how many disciples does the Buddhist Sect currently have?"
After thinking for Zhunti, Jieyin and Zhunti said directly, "Besides you, there's also your junior brother Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal."
"Only Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal Xian?" Duobao was startled upon hearing this, then thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Two Sages, would you dare to take more Jie Sect Disciple with you when you leave?"
Upon hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti exchanged a glance, sensing that something was amiss. Did Duobao mean to persuade even more people to leave the Interception Sect?
Duobao was quite straightforward. When he noticed that Jieyin and Zhunti hesitated, he said directly, "There are all sorts of people in this Interception Sect. Many disciples are not loyal to the Interception Sect. As their senior brother, I know their character very well."
"I will go and persuade them; at least I can take away a number from the Zhou Tian."
The Great Circulation, which is 365 people.
Zhunti and Jieyin looked at each other again, both seeing the attraction in each other's eyes; this was something they could do.
The two immediately said, "We are not the only ones who have come this time. If anything unexpected happens, my senior brothers Laozi and Yuanshi will also arrive."
Upon hearing this, Duobao knew that things were settled and quickly left to persuade the other disciples to rebel against the Interception Sect.
Jieyin and Zhunti watched Duobao's departing figure, they were filled with emotion.
The two had no doubt about what Duobao said. After all, the Interception Sect was indeed a mixed bag, and its disciples lacked loyalty. They hadn't seen this dignified senior Interception Sect the Jie Sect decide to rebel against the sect. In his words, the Interception Sect was nothing but a thing of the past.
But the thought that Duobao would become a Buddhist Sect disciple in the future made them feel somewhat uneasy.
Duobao and Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal quickly persuaded the disciples.
However, they were soon stopped by the Three Xiao of Sanxiao, Zhao Gongming, the Wudang Holy Mother Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, and others who had gotten wind of the situation.
The Wudang Holy Mother was straightforward; she looked directly at Duobao and questioned him, "Senior Brother, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Why did I hear rumors among my fellow disciples that you intend to lead them in a rebellion against the Interception Sect?
Behind the Wudang Holy Mother, the Three Xiao, Zhao Gongming, and others also wore extremely solemn expressions.
They were having a gathering on the Three Immortal Islands when suddenly Jie Sect Disciple came to inform them that their eldest brother, Duobao, had spoken in a way that persuaded him to defect from the Interception Sect and go to the Western Paradise.
They initially thought their junior brother was talking nonsense and even reprimanded him.
But before they could finish reprimanding the man, another disciple arrived and said the same thing.
Immediately afterwards, as if a valve had been opened, one junior brother after another sent messages, all telling the story.
If it were just a few people, it might be a prank, but since everyone is saying it, it means that Duobao Brother Duobao is definitely doing it.
Right now, they were looking at the group of Jie Sect Disciples gathered behind Duobao.
They knew these disciples well; they were the ones who used to be the most unruly and troublesome disciples in the Jie Interception Sect.
Duobao used to be stern with these disciples, always ready to reprimand them. Now that he's suddenly hanging out with them, the rumors are probably true.
