Taibai Jinxing shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are mistaken. We are offering it sincerely!"
"Then wait until the Heavenly Court defeats Ziwei the Great Emperor, occupies the Northern Continent of Uttarakuru, and hands that Northern Continent of Uttarakuru over to our Buddhist Sect."
Duobao Tathagata sneered and asked, "How about that?"
Taibai Jinxing was utterly dumbfounded.

"We obey the Buddha's decree!"
At once, several Buddhas and Bodhisattvas left the Great Thunderclap Monastery.
Duobao Tathagata also informed
