Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1715 Xihe
"Hehe, Duobao is quite something. He's always been so unassuming and indifferent to worldly affairs, but it turns out he was just waiting for this day." Deng Chanyu didn't even bother watching Sun Wukong and the others' battle royale; her gaze was entirely fixed on the Sun Star.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

Nuwa wished she could stick her head out of the celestial mirror to take a closer look.

She understood at a glance: "They're planning to sever the three corpses according to your method. Senior Brother Tongtian's eldest disciple is indeed quite capable, stronger than Xuandu and Nanji."

Deng Chanyu nodded in deep agreement.

If he hadn't suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Duobao, the Buddha, would have been the strongest being below the level of a saint. His wisdom, magical power, comprehension, and aptitude were all at the top level. Unlike those outdated old guys like Zhen Yuanzi and Styx, he cultivated both Buddhism and Taoism and possessed the fortune of both the Jie Sect and Buddhism. If he didn't have the opportunity, so be it; but if he did, he would have the potential to challenge for the sainthood.

By copying Deng Chanyu's homework, he has actually paved a new path for himself.

"Duobao certainly had many opportunities to attack Mulian, but doing so completely disregarded Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. He was decisive enough. Unfortunately, 'Those who learn from me live, those who imitate me die,' and he still doesn't understand the Three Corpses Unity technique enough. This move was a bit rash."

Nuwa, however, had a different opinion: "The Jie Sect is quite adept at turning the tide in desperate situations, so they might actually have some confidence in their abilities."

"Then let's wait and see," Deng Chanyu chuckled twice.

With a thought, the golden flames of the Sun Star rose to a new height, transforming from old yang to lesser yin, and a wisp of extreme yin energy silently emerged from the extreme flames.

A young female immortal, dressed in a bright red palace gown with gold thread embroidered on the sleeves and surrounded by ten great suns, emerged from the crack in the sun star.

This is Xihe, the third innate deity born within the Sun Star, following Dijun and Taiyi!

The Bodhisattva of Sunlight actually came after Xihe, who had already successfully transformed into human form long ago, but had not yet been born.

It is a complete copy of the experience of the Moon Bodhisattva in the Taiyin Star in the past. Duobao transformed this innate deity, who should have been born in ancient times but continued to sleep due to various twists and turns, into his own clone.

The story of the Bodhisattva of Moonlight becoming the Tathagata of Moonlight is an extremely secretive matter. However, the Buddha of Many Treasures watched over it every day for over a thousand years. With his wisdom, it was not difficult for him to deduce the process from the result. The difficulty lay in the right timing, location, and people.

The moonlight is busy with the journey to the west, and the journey is already halfway through. At this time, it is absolutely crucial that nothing goes wrong. The journey to the west is attracting all attention, and this is the opportune moment.

Liu Qingti, with the help of the Hungry Ghost Realm, attempted to have the Heavenly Dog devour the sun. The endless resentment stimulated the sleeping Xihe, and the will of the Sun Star automatically retaliated, indirectly causing Xihe to awaken. This was due to favorable circumstances.

The fortunes of the Jie Sect rose again, Buddhism flourished, and Taoism was established; this is the result of harmony among people.

Having gathered numerous advantages from the right time, place, and people, Daoist Duobao has been planning for a thousand years and has finally obtained Xihe's clone today.

Afterwards, as long as you follow the steps of Moonlight to settle all the karma belonging to Xihe and obtain true freedom and liberation, you can sever this clone and reach the state of severing the three corpses.

Deng Chanyu had the experience of listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace, possessed the Primordial Purple Qi, and received the approval of Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Daoist Duobao wasn't entirely unprepared. The Tongtian Sect Leader had explained the key to the Three Corpses Uniting, perhaps not as thoroughly as Hongjun had, but he wasn't completely ignorant. Only by severing the third corpse could one have a chance; without it, there was absolutely no chance.

As for the Primordial Purple Qi, there's nothing that can be done. This thing has already merged with the saint's position. No matter how much the Tongtian Sect Leader loves his disciple, he can't cut off his own path to make way for Duobao, can he?
This doesn't mean that just because I'm not a Celestial Saint, I can resign and pass on the Primordial Purple Qi to my disciples. There's no such thing.

Duobao's goal is to become a Primordial Golden Immortal; he doesn't care about becoming a saint.

Xihe stepped out of the crack, her brows furrowed.

It doesn't really matter whether you're male or female. However, from the perspective of self-awareness and the key points of the three bodies merging into one, if the original body is female, it's best if the clone is also female. Similarly, if the original body is male, the clone should also be male.

Nothing is absolute. According to his understanding, female immortals should also be able to "unite," but it would be a little more troublesome. The path that Deng Chanyu and he are now on has actually deviated from the scope of Hongjun's teachings, so there is no need to regard Hongjun's theories as gospel.

Just follow your own path.

Xihe was originally a female immortal, which Duobao knew. He forcibly opened a crack on the Sun Star in order to use the omnipresent golden flames of the sun to reshape its origin, but he did not succeed. The yin energy of the Sun Star was a little stronger than expected.

Let's settle the issue of whether a female immortal exists first, then we can discuss whether it's good or bad.

Xihe said to the nervous Huanglong and Yuding Zhenren, "Fellow Daoists, do not worry. This matter started with me, and it will naturally end with me."

Releasing eight million hungry ghosts nearly cleaved the sun in two; both events contained profound cause and effect. If left unchecked, Xihe would forever remain an avatar, unable to be severed at all.

It will take some time to deal with the eight million hungry ghosts. It's impossible for her to make them vanish with a single thought; she's not that powerful.

She can handle the matter concerning the Sun Star.

The array that had been set up long ago was activated instantly. Countless precious spiritual materials were poured into the crack in a pouring manner. They were transformed into countless pure spiritual energies as they were burned by the golden flames of the great sun. Duobao also refined eighty-one array flags for this purpose. At this moment, the array flags waved, the crack slowly closed, and finally disappeared.

"Gentlemen, I take my leave." Leaving Huanglong and Yuding looking completely bewildered, she transformed into a streak of light and instantly left the Sun Star, landing on the primordial land.

When a sage attains sainthood, he establishes a great religion. On the one hand, this is to gain a vast amount of merit, and on the other hand, it is to leave behind his lineage in the primordial world.

Deng Chanyu was unable to establish a major religion, but Yueguang entered the Buddhist community and led it to flourish, which was equivalent to establishing a major religion.

Duobao chose to continue copying homework. Not only did he copy homework, he also snatched the homework books that others didn't want.

When Deng Chanyu participated in the third sermon at Zixiao Palace, she gained some insights. However, due to insufficient control over her power, some of her thoughts were transmitted to the prehistoric world through babbling. This process lasted for three thousand years.

Some primordial immortals overheard these murmurs, and after some unknown interpretation or comprehension, three thousand years later, these immortals chose to gouge out their own eyes, gathered together, and founded the Dark Cult. (Chapter 1410)
Xihe was now eyeing this group of guys.
