Chapter 26 Duobao's Hatred
Although Taoist Duobao's words were plain, the sharpness in his words could not be concealed.

Isn’t the rise of Buddhism today due to you, Taiqing Laozi?

Taoist Duobao almost pointed at Master Taiqing's nose and cursed him.

Buddhism is now very powerful and poses a threat to Taoism. It's all because of you.

Isn't this what you want to see now?

When Taiqing Laozi heard what Duobao Taoist said, he flew into a rage and said, "How dare you."

During the Conferred God Tribulation, there was a dispute among the three religions, and in the end the two saints from the West reaped the benefits.

This was a very humiliating thing for Taiqing Laozi.

Everything we do now is to make up for the mistakes of this immeasurable calamity.

The Saint Taiqing himself knew clearly that 90% of the current situation in Buddhism was due to his responsibility.

But Taiqing Laozi is a saint, and saints cannot be wrong.

Similarly, a saint will never regret.

Now that Taoist Duobao has directly removed this fig leaf, how can Laozi Taiqing tolerate it?

Taiqing Laozi smiled lightly, but there was a chill in his words.

He said solemnly, "Duobao, you were supposed to be on the Conferred God List during the Conferred God Calamity. It was out of my mercy that I spared your life, and that’s how you escaped the Conferred God List."

There was a dangerous light in Taiqing Laozi's eyes. He continued indifferently, "Look at your former fellow disciples. If I hadn't spared your life, you would have been on the Conferred God List like them."

After hearing what Taiqing Laozi said, Duobao Taoist lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

However, this usually gentle disciple of Jiejiao couldn't help but show a bit of hostility on his face.

The heart is unwilling and has demons in it, so it feels unfair.

But this injustice is directed at the saint.

In this world, the weak are preyed upon by the strong, and the strong are respected. What principles can you talk to a saint about?
I just hate that I’m not a saint!!!
Taiqing Laozi thought he had convinced Duobao Taoist, so he said gently, "Duobao, you join Buddhism, turn the barbarians into Buddhas, join the Buddhist sect, become the leader of Buddhism, and seize the luck of Buddhism. It may not be impossible for you to use this luck to prove your truth and become a saint in the future."

If it weren't because Taoist Duobao was the best choice, Taiqing Laozi wouldn't want to waste so much time talking to Taoist Duobao.

Transform the barbarians into Buddhas and seize the fortune of Buddhism.

It doesn't mean that anyone can do it.

Otherwise, Taiqing Laozi would not have chosen Duobao Taoist.

Taiqing Laozi said in a bewitching tone, "Duobao, Jiejiao has long been wiped out. Think about it carefully."

Taiqing Laozi threatened and bewitched, and thought he could easily control Duobao Taoist.

Taoist Duobao admitted that what Taiqing Laozi said made sense, and now the Jiejiao has disappeared.

Converting a barbarian into a Buddhist, entering the Buddhist sect, and calculating the fortune of Buddhism is indeed a good way out.

Facing a powerful saint, Duobao Taoist seemed to have no room for resistance.

Taoist Duobao had too many reasons to convince himself to obey Laozi Taiqing's orders.

But after all, I still feel unwilling.

This usually gentle disciple of Jiejiao looked up at Taiqing Laozi and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Master, I admit that what you said makes sense."

Taoist Duobao continued with a piercing edge, "But Duobao is unwilling."

Before Taiqing Laozi could continue speaking, Duobao Taoist, suppressing his anger, spoke.

"In my Jie Sect, the geniuses are like clouds, and the evildoers are like rain."

"My Jie Sect teaches everyone. For all living beings in the prehistoric world, we intercept a thread of divine information and change their fate." "My Jie Sect is known for attracting thousands of immortals. When it was at its peak, it suppressed all other sects."

"The Conferred God Calamity swept across the ancient world. Some people hid in small buildings and became one, not caring about spring, summer, autumn and winter; some people cried and lived a life of drunkenness and dreams. Only I, Jiejiao, would rather sing loudly in the calamity than hide under the eaves."

Taoist Duobao has an innate pride.

This pride comes from his identity, he is the Jiejiao immortal.

Let's see!
During the calamity of the Conferred Gods, only our Jie Sect faces the catastrophe head-on and is not afraid of a fight.

But why did my Jiejiao perish?

Taoist Duobao continued in a trance, "We have an outer sect disciple, Zhao Gongming, who has won every battle and defeated all the immortals. We also have Sanxiao, who used the Nine Bends of the Yellow River to cut off the five qi in the chests of the twelve golden immortals, leaving three flowers on their heads."

Taoist Duobao finally looked at Laozi Taiqing and said with a bit of sadness, "But, Master Uncle, Master Uncle, how come my Jiejiao was defeated? How come all my Jiejiao disciples were sent to the List of Gods?"

At the end, Taoist Duobao's expression was filled with questioning and hostility.

Why did Jiejiao fail?

It is obvious that in the dispute among the three religions and the fight among their disciples, the disciples of the Jie Religion had the upper hand.

It was obvious that an outer disciple of their Jiejiao was able to sweep away the Twelve Golden Immortals carefully trained by the Chenjiao.

But why did their Jiejiao be defeated?

"Master, Master, please tell me, how did our Jie Sect fail? How did our Jie Sect, to which thousands of immortals came to pay homage, vanish in the blink of an eye?"

Taoist Duobao cried bitterly and asked questions unwillingly.

For a moment, Taiqing Laozi was silent.

Why did Jiejiao perish?

Naturally, it was because the Jie Religion was too powerful. With tens of thousands of immortals coming to pay homage to it, the Jie Religion put pressure on all other sects to the point where they could not breathe.

Yuanshi Tianzun felt the pressure, and Taiqing Laozi also felt the pressure.

The Jiejiao is like a mountain, suppressing the teachings of other saints.

Only by removing this mountain will their sect have a chance to rise.

Why does Taiqing Laozi, as one of the Three Pure Ones, always favor Yuanshi Tianzun?

Why at the last moment, he chose to join forces with the two saints of the West.

There is no other reason, it all comes down to common interests.

Even Taiqing Laozi, the head of the Three Pure Ones, who has always advocated letting nature take its course and governing by inaction, felt the pressure and could no longer sit still.

What about other saints?
Of course, this is also due to the fact that the disciples of Jiejiao themselves did not seize the opportunity. They had defeated the enemy, but did not kill the enemy and put him on the List of Gods.

The number of places on the List of Gods is limited. If you send one more enemy to the List of Gods, there will be one less place for you.

What a pity, the Jiejiao doesn’t even understand this.

So didn’t Jiejiao deserve the fate it has?
Taiqing Laozi had long predicted the end of Jiejiao, the only unexpected thing was.

He did not expect that Buddhism would take this opportunity to grow bigger.

The conspiracy behind this is not something that can be told to outsiders.

A saint is never wrong.

These thoughts flashed through Taiqing Laozi's mind for only a moment. He said coldly, "The disciples of Jiejiao did not cultivate kindness, were contaminated by karma, and were entangled in calamity. They ended up like this and were sent to the Conferred God List. This is their own fault."

"I'll go and blame you."

Taoist Duobao couldn't help but curse and interrupted Taiqing Laozi directly.
