Persuading Wudang

Saint Mother Wudang was confident before she came, believing that her identity as a Shangqing Dao Daoist would earn her a welcome from this tribe.

Who knew that the people of this tribe would dodge her and Fang Yang like they were avoiding the Nian Beast? Wherever they went, doors would close. Wherever news of their arrival spread, people would flee.

They weren't ferocious beasts!

Saint Mother Wudang finally saw a little girl crying loudly on the road and put on a kind smile. A middle-aged woman suddenly ran out of her house and carried the little girl back inside.

"Immortal Master, please forgive us. Forgive us. The child is ignorant. I am reciting the Duobao Good and Evil Sutra."

"Among the Myriad Races of the Primordial Era, humanity is supreme. Win hearts with virtue, and all races will submit. If people slander me, I shall laugh it off. If demons and monsters kill me, I shall move them with love."

"All beings are equal. Act with kindness and benevolence. Cut flesh to feed eagles, and benefit all living beings."

"Do good deeds and accumulate virtue. It is a blessing to suffer losses. All under heaven are one family. The Myriad Races shall live in harmony."

The middle-aged woman ran while chanting the Duobao Good and Evil Sutra, as if demons and monsters were chasing her, using the scripture to ward them off.

Saint Mother Wudang was stunned. She could read the middle-aged woman's thoughts.

"Jiejiao's Demonic Daoists are here again. Last time they devoured half the tribe. Who knows how many people they will harm this time."

"Damn demonic Daoists, fooling people all day long under the guise of intercepting a glimmer of life for all beings. Heaven has eyes, it should strike you evil obstacles with lightning and destroy you."

The woman's actions were flustered, and her heart was even more so. Saint Mother Wudang, reading her thoughts, felt a chill run down her spine.

The terms "Jiejiao" and "Demonic Daoists" were originally unrelated and could never coexist.

Yet, in the eyes of this mere mortal, a Shangqing Dao Daoist was considered a Demonic Daoist?

A disciple of the Grand Orthodox Pangu, a member of the orthodox Xuanmen, was being treated as a demonic evil?

Saint Mother Wudang could hardly believe it.

Wasn't Jiejiao a sect that intercepted a glimmer of life for all beings? Wasn't it said that all beings were filled with gratitude and admiration for Jiejiao?

"Senior Sister, people's hearts are a ruler. You might as well feel the Dao Charm that envelops this tribe and see the results of our beloved Junior Brothers and Sisters' efforts in preaching the Dao."

Fang Yang truly couldn't understand how Saint Mother Jin Ling, Saint Mother Wudang, and others had developed a "Righteous Love Brain."

Everyone criticized the "Love Brain" and deemed it worthless. However, the "Righteous Love Brain" was equally undesirable.

What was so superior about the "Righteous Love Brain" compared to the "Love Brain"?

One lost their mind for love and acted recklessly. The other disregarded discipline for the sake of so-called camaraderie. Was it because the "Righteous Love Brain" involved more people that it was considered superior?

The "Love Brain" could destroy the world, and Jiejiao's "Righteous Love Brain" could also destroy the world.

In reality, both situations were the same, and the final outcome was no different.

Saint Mother Wudang heard this and didn't delay. She condensed her divine sense and began absorbing the Dao Charm from heaven and earth.

Dao Charm is a very wondrous thing. The Dao Charm harvested after each sect preaches the Dao carries a unique imprint of the Great Dao, and only disciples of that sect can comprehend and benefit from it.

Above Saint Mother Wudang's head, a sky-obscuring green lotus leaf appeared.

On the green lotus leaf, the thoughts of all beings intertwined, weaving along the veins of the lotus into clusters of profound and mysterious Dao Charm radiance.

However, this Dao Charm radiance was somewhat dim. Within the dim radiance, all sorts of resentments and hatreds were entangled.

As Saint Mother Wudang's thoughts came into contact with the Dao Charm radiance, many Dao Charms with evil auras entered her consciousness, attempting to pollute her Great Dao.

"How is this possible? How could our sect's Great Dao Evolution Method evolve into something like this?"

Saint Mother Wudang was shocked. She never expected that the Great Dao evolved by the grand orthodox Xuanmen would be so evil, so dim.

She quickly withdrew her thoughts, abandoning the absorption of the Dao Charm from all beings.

She truly dared not absorb such Dao Charm. If she absorbed it, her own Great Dao would inevitably be polluted.

"Senior Sister, you felt it just now, didn't you!"

Fang Yang looked at Saint Mother Wudang with a solemn expression.

On Golden Ao Island, Sect Master Tongtian sorted the Dao Charm, which is why everyone in the Jie sect could comprehend pure Dao Charm.

However, Sect Master Tongtian's sorting ability was limited.

If the Dao Charm from all beings' evolution of the Dao was entirely harmful, then even with Sect Master Tongtian's immense strength, he would be unable to transform the evil Dao Charm into beneficial Dao Charm.

This was the rule of all beings evolving the Dao, a rule of heaven and earth, not something a Saint or a great divine ability user could defy.

Saint Mother Wudang understood this principle. She was a Core Disciple of the Jie sect, not an ignorant Rogue Cultivator.

After sensing the changes in this Dao Charm, Saint Mother Wudang finally understood Fang Yang's intentions.

It wasn't that Fang Yang insisted on dealing with those Outer Disciples; it was simply that the Outer Disciples were acting inhumanely.

They ate from the Jie sect, used the Jie sect's resources, and specifically did things that harmed the Jie sect.

If such a group of furred and horned, born from wetness and eggs beings were not dealt with, the Jie sect would likely have no future.

Upon learning the truth, Saint Mother Wudang no longer felt Fang Yang's actions were excessive. The issue with the Outer Disciples had reached a point where it had to be addressed.

"Junior Brother, it seems you were right. Senior Brother has turned the Jie sect into a mess; he was indeed wrong."

After sighing, Saint Mother Wudang said to Fang Yang.

She was on the side of the Jie sect. Since Fang Yang was acting for the good of the Jie sect, she naturally would not continue to oppose him.

However, if Fang Yang were to truly confront Daoist Duobao, she would start to worry for him.

"Junior Brother, Senior Brother holds an extremely important position in Teacher's heart. Even if you are doing this for the good of the Jie Sect, don't forget whose sect it is."

Saint Mother Wudang believed it was necessary to make Fang Yang understand his place.

Fang Yang was merely a Core Disciple, while Daoist Duobao was a Core Disciple personally raised by Sect Master Tongtian.

For Fang Yang to try and compete with Daoist Duobao was simply impossible.

Fang Yang naturally understood Saint Mother Wudang's worries, and in fact, he was even more worried than she was.

This concerned his own life and safety; how could he be careless?

"Senior Sister, please don't worry. Senior Brother has merely been inactive; he hasn't directly harmed the sect's fortune. Those Duobao Good and Evil Sutras spread among the masses were done by those Evil Obstacles on Penglai Island to curry favor with Daoist Duobao."

Since Fang Yang had decided to act, he would get to the bottom of everything.

Daoist Duobao never acted himself; his hands were always clean. Otherwise, how could Sect Master Tongtian tolerate him?

Saint Mother Wudang finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was for the best that Fang Yang wasn't going to confront Daoist Duobao.

After all, Saint Mother Wudang still harbored deep Emotions for Daoist Duobao.

Sorry, my mother had a Stroke and is in the hospital. I'm accompanying her.

It feels like every time I write about getting recommended, something happens at home. It's a bit strange. Esteemed patrons, please leave two words of blessing so I can share in your good fortune.
