Chapter 327 World Honored Tathagata
Taoist Duobao held the Immortal-Slaying Sword, found a direction, and swung it casually.

Blood was splattered all over the sky, and light from the outside world poured in.

Kong Xuan cried out in pain.

Looking at the hole in his lower body from which golden light shone, Taoist Duobao rode the lotus platform and carried everyone out.

Kong Xuan didn't dare to stay for long. He endured the pain and flew into the air, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

"Master, why don't you chase after me?"

The Fire Spirit was quite unconvinced. She wanted to see the peacock bow its head to vent her anger.

Duobao shook his head and said nothing. He wanted to chase after her, but he could not. As long as he could not follow the Mahayana Buddhist path, he could not leave the lotus platform.

His buttocks were like being welded to the lotus pedestal; once separated, all previous efforts would be wasted.

Huo Ling turned to look at the other two unfamiliar faces on the lotus platform with a curious look: "Who are these two~ Hey, why is Nezha here?"

Yang Jian turned around and recognized the face of the Mosquito Taoist. As for the other one, he did not recognize him. However, he was filled with demonic aura and was obviously as powerful as the Mosquito Taoist.

As for the appearance of these two monsters, he had a vague understanding in his mind that perhaps it was related to him.

After all, the hatred in Taoist Mosquito's eyes could not be faked. If Duobao had not been sitting there, Taoist Mosquito would have rushed up to fight with him.

"Poor Taoist Jin Chanzi~"

"I'm a poor Taoist~"

The two demons bowed their heads and worshipped under the lotus platform.

Huo Ling had heard of the names of these two wild beasts before, and knew that they were both great demons subdued by the Western Religion. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Master, you should just kill the demons of the Western Religion and be done with it. The Western Religion is not a good thing, and it will cause trouble. They are enemies, not friends. It is better to eliminate them first."

The two demons looked terrified and kowtowed to Taoist Duobao: "God, please spare our lives! God, please spare our lives!"

Taoist Duobao frowned, obviously not knowing how to deal with these two guys.

put it back?
This is just asking for trouble for the Jie Religion.

Being locked up on Jin'ao Island would only waste food, and there's a chance that the Western religions would target us and cause trouble every day, which would be very difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, he gently raised the Immortal-Slaying Sword in his hand, as if he was about to strike out.

"Uncle Duobao, wait a minute. These two monsters may be of great use. Listen to me."

Taoist Duobao looked over and found that it was Yang Jian who spoke. He smiled gently and asked, "Nephew, please feel free to speak."

Yang Jian stepped forward, wanting to say something but stopping himself, hoping that Taoist Duobao would send the people around away.

Duobao understood what he meant, and he made a hand gesture, and a beam of spiritual light enveloped the two of them: "Nephew, you can talk now, they won't hear it."

Yang Jian nodded: "Master, if you want to integrate the Mahayana Buddhism, you must have dealings with Western religions."

Duobao nodded: "Yes, today I came to see this merit, and my heart was touched. The Western Sect relies on the Merit Golden Lotus to master all the merits in the world~"

When Yang Jian heard this, his mind suddenly became clear. He had a question that had been bothering him for a long time and he couldn't figure it out.

That is, he has come into contact with a lot of karma in his practice so far, but his merits have only been seen in Western religions.

Are other people not doing good things?
Obviously not.

At this time, I heard what Duobao said.

He realized that all the merits he had generated would be gathered on the Golden Lotus of Merit and redistributed by the Golden Lotus.

The ones who control the Golden Lotus of Merit are the Two Saints of the West. In other words, the Two Saints of the West manage the distribution of merit in the world, and they will naturally only give priority to their own disciples.

As for the merits that other living beings deserved, they were all intercepted by the two saints and pocketed.

"Merit is a very good thing, and merit that is not controlled by the Western Church is even better! But merit is due to the two Western saints, and is inseparable from the Western Church's treasure, the Merit Golden Lotus. Isn't it that Master is being controlled by the Western Church!"

Duobao remained silent, with a trace of sadness between his brows. He didn't know about this pit before.

It must be that Master Taiqing deliberately concealed it and tricked him. It was a pity that he was already halfway to the Dao, and it would be a pity to give up.

"If you have any opinions, feel free to share them."

"These two monsters may be able to help us solve the problem."

Yang Jian pointed at Taoist Mosquito and Golden Chanzi.

"Oh? They are just two demons in the celestial realm. What use can they be!"

"Uncle Master, listen to me. Nezha's current body was stolen by my nephew from the Merit Pond on Mount Xumi, so he naturally knows something about the Western Religion. This Taoist Mosquito was originally the one who guarded the Merit Golden Lotus. His appearance in the Southern Continent must be because Ksitigarbha discovered something wrong. After the truth was revealed, the Taoist Mosquito had no choice but to flee. Jin Chanzi was originally stirring up trouble in the demon center of the Northern Continent, and he also appeared here. He must have been sent by Ksitigarbha to hunt down the Taoist Mosquito. These two demons are considered core figures of the Western Religion. If we use these two demons, we may be able to plot against the Merit Golden Lotus!"

Yang Jian explained.

Taoist Duobao was very surprised: "My nephew is really extraordinary, he acts so boldly!"

Yang Jian evaded the question, saying that it was not his own ability alone. As for where the help behind him came from, he remained silent. He believed that Taoist Duobao would be able to tell the answer.

Taoist Duobao did not ask about Yang Jian's experience, but instead asked: "Then according to my nephew's opinion, what should I do?"

"The Taoist Mosquito has never been a disciple of the Two Saints in the Western Sect. Perhaps Master Uncle can accept him as a disciple!"

Taoist Duobao took a deep breath and felt that Yang Jian's suggestion was ridiculous: "I am a member of Jiejiao. It is ridiculous for me to accept a disciple of the Western Sect as my apprentice!"

"Master, you are obsessed. Jin Chanzi was your eldest disciple in the past. He can even go to the Western Religion to make a living. It doesn't matter if there is one more Taoist Mosquito. The Western Religion must be eager to recruit talented people. They are so happy that they can't contain themselves."

Yang Jian teased Duobao based on the Buddhist words he had heard.

Duobao laughed and said, "You are so good, Yang Jian, you are still scolding me. But it's okay, Master Uncle won't blame you."

Yang Jian: "The Taoist Puxian, Taoist Manjusri, and Taoist Cihang of the Chan Sect are already very close to the Western Sect, and are just short of joining the sect directly. The reason why they haven't advertised it widely is probably because they are waiting for the right time. Since the Chan Sect can do it, why can't the Jie Sect do it? Moreover, the Jie Sect is even more generous than the Chan Sect. If Master directly expressed his desire to join the Western Sect, would the two saints of the Western Sect refuse?
With Master's ability, if he joins the Western Religion, he will be the first person under the two saints. Then, if he takes over some of the Jie Religion disciples, he can replace the blood of the Western Religion without fighting. Then, won't the Western Religion be a branch of the Jie Religion? When the great catastrophe comes in the future, the Jie Religion disciples will have less fighting to kill each other."

"Incredible! You really managed to guess it!"

Taoist Duobao looked amazed.

What Yang Jian said coincided with his thoughts.

But his ideas were bolder and more radical than his.

He originally wanted to intervene personally to reduce the damage caused to Jie Religion by the impending catastrophe of heaven and earth.

"Master, you are too kind. I just understand that my sect is also betting separately, so I made such a guess."

Yang Jian bowed.

He himself was a member of the Jiejiao sect sent to the Heavenly Palace, so he naturally understood it.

Afterwards, the two had a long talk and understood each other tacitly.

Taoist Duobao removed the spiritual light that obscured his conversation with Yang Jian.

Yang Jian turned to look at the two demons and said, "You two have been in the Western Religion for quite some time. Although you have some merits, your murderous nature has never been eliminated. If I let you go, it will be difficult for you to change your habits. You will be harmful to all living beings. I think it is better to kill you now."

Yang Jian took out his three-pointed, double-edged sword and rushed towards the two monsters.

The two demons were terrified as their death was imminent.

Taoist Duobao gently extended his hand and held Yang Jian in mid-air: "My nephew, don't be impulsive. You must know that cultivation is not easy. These two monsters have achieved their current level of cultivation after hundreds of thousands of years of hard work. Perhaps if we educate them, they will also be able to do good. Jin Chanzi defected from our sect in the past, and I will bring him back to Jin'ao Island to punish him."

Taoist Mosquito felt as if he had been pardoned when he heard this, and kowtowed to Taoist Duobao: "I want to take Duobao Tianzun as my master~"

"Wait a minute~"

Duobao stopped the Taoist Mosquito.

"The name Duobao was given to me by my master Lingbao Datianzun. Today I have a feeling that the Great Dao will be accomplished. You have already practiced the Western Buddhist Dharma, so you can call me - World Honored Tathagata."
