Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1716 Zoroastrianism

The actions of these guys from the Ming Cult are truly too wicked. They are always trying to gouge out eyes and use immortal bones and flesh to sacrifice to the Great Mistress. Deng Chanyu cannot accept this. I am a righteous leader, the successor of the Xuanmen, and the future Heavenly Saint. I have no need to get mixed up with such a group of guys.

She ignored all the calls from the followers of the Ming Cult, such as "Great Matriarch," and later completely severed the causal connection between them. "We're not familiar with each other, get lost!"

The doctrines of the Ming Cult were too radical, and its followers could not survive in the Central Plains. They chose to flee to the western desert regions, and now Xihe has set its sights on these guys.

Duobao had been secretly planning for many years, and he had already quietly killed the original leaders of the Ming Cult, such as Cheng Huang.

As the chief disciple of the Jie Sect, he had no qualms about killing; he would kill when necessary and was extremely decisive.

He secretly purged the sect several times, and also made many changes to its doctrines.

Within the Ming Cult today, the Great Matriarch is no longer the only true god. There are several gods of the same level, including the Great Matriarch. All the gods come from the only true fire in the world, and fire is the true faith of this sect.

Xihe descended from the sky, and the golden flames of the sun swept across the area, burning the last few stubborn members to death. He then successfully took over the Ming Sect and officially renamed it the Fire Worship Sect.

After Buddhism flourishes, it will enter a period of decline. That will be Xihe's opportunity. He doesn't need to compete with the Eastern Taoism, but just to share the Western world with Buddhism. The Western world is no longer the extremely impoverished place it once was. It is still worse than the East, but it is more than enough to support a thousand or eight hundred disciples.

If Zoroastrianism is unlikely to gain divine favor, then Rahu can be introduced into Zoroastrianism to help Buddhism "take over," spread Zoroastrian scriptures to the East to gain a lot of merit, and then run away. It's all a ready-made template, so you don't need to use your brain. Just copy it.

Lingshan.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stormed into the Mahavira Hall. As the sweeping operation ended, the number of demons and monsters in hell increased again. However, he successfully severed his corpse, leaving an avatar in the underworld, while his main body could move freely as long as it did not violate his great vow.

Now, this great Bodhisattva holds the Six Roots of Purity Bamboo, wears a moon-white kasaya and monk's shoes. His usual dignified appearance has been replaced by anger, and his face is long and drawn. All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on the road retreat, and no one dares to provoke this bad luck.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was followed by Maitreya, Bhaisajyaguru Buddha, and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, all of whom were former disciples of the Western Paradise.

They were united in their hatred of the enemy and blocked the Buddha of Many Treasures in the side hall.

The Buddha statue seemed unaffected, politely putting his palms together in a gesture of respect.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva reluctantly returned the bow, then gritted his teeth and asked, "May I ask the Buddha of the past, has my disciple Maudgalyayana ever been disrespectful to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in his daily interactions?"

The Buddha Prabhutaratna calmly replied, "I have never heard of it."

"Ask the Buddhas of the past, did Maudgalyayana ever disobey the Buddha or violate the precepts and rules of Buddhism?"

"Never heard of it."

"Finally, we asked the Buddha, 'Maudgalyayana worked diligently, sincerely worshipped the Buddha, and cultivated for a hundred years without ever slacking off for a single day. Why then did he suffer such a fate of death and dissipation?!'"

The Buddha of Many Treasures seemed unaffected and replied, "This humble monk does not know."

"Hahahaha—what a fine example of ignorance!" Even Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was amused by this.

Maitreya, Bhaisajyaguru, and Mahasthamaprapta glared angrily at Prabhutaratna, saying, "It's you outsiders who have turned our once-prosperous Buddhist community into this chaotic mess!"
The Buddha of Many Treasures, seemingly unfazed by the situation, simply watched them. "You should consult Daoist Many Treasures about Mulian's matter. What does it have to do with me, the Buddha of Many Treasures?"
Taking this step will definitely make him the target of public criticism, and he is fully prepared for this.

They were still following the same approach as Deng Chanyu. In the past, Deng Chanyu had cultivated relationships and made friends everywhere, and controlled the Heavenly Court, Buddhism, and Taoism, transferring benefits to all sides, almost putting herself in an invincible position. Even so, after learning that she was going to attain the Primordial Chaos Realm, she was attacked by all sorts of open and covert attacks.

Even her sworn brother Zhen Yuanzi secretly attacked her twice.

Duobao's power is far less than Deng Chanyu's. He only has an unwavering Dao heart. "Come on, whatever it is, I will accept it. If I back down, I will lose!"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva cursed for three whole days in the elegant language of the underworld. Phra Dhāraṇī, with a gentle breeze on his face, said, "Anyway, I haven't violated any rules. Whoever harmed Maudgalyāyana, go find them. If you don't know the way, I can even give you directions."

at the same time.

Jin'ao Island, Biyou Palace.

Golden Spirit Mother also felt immense pressure.

From a Buddhist perspective, Daoist Duobao's secret actions against Mulian and Liu Qing, resulting in boundless bloodshed, were utterly heinous.

But for the Jie Sect, this was really not a big deal.

He did not harm the interests of the Jie Sect. Compared to those Jie Sect disciples who directly poisoned, burned, or flooded human cities, he at most implicated a few hundred million more lives this time. The ones who killed were those eight million hungry ghosts, not him.

What crime is it to kill Mulian and Liu Qingti? They were Buddhists, what does that have to do with our Jie Sect?
The disciples of the Jie Sect were simply happy that Duobao could make further progress, and they would be even more respectful to their senior brother, but that was all.

As the head of the sect, the Golden Spirit Mother was very uneasy.

Originally, there was a huge gap between her, a Quasi-Saint who had severed one corpse, and Duobao. Now, instead of narrowing the gap, it has widened even further.

Unable to restrain Duobao with religious rules and doctrines, she could only consult with her disciple Yu Yuan.

“I do not covet power. It would be better if the Jie Sect were in the hands of your senior uncle. I can hand over the sect affairs now and focus on cultivation.”

The Golden Spirit Mother spoke from the heart; the church affairs were originally entrusted to her by Duobao, and it wouldn't matter if she returned them now.

"It's just that your senior uncle is unscrupulous in his actions. For his own path of cultivation, he is willing to sacrifice anyone or anything, including the Jie Sect."

As long as Buddhism flourishes, Moonlight Buddha can be "released" and eliminate all karmic debts belonging to Moonlight Bodhisattva. This is already a semi-public secret at the level of Quasi-Saints.

It's not hard to see that Duobao followed suit.

What if he sets his sights on the Jie Sect? Should he stage a "Make the Jie Sect Great Again" campaign?
Buddhism was bloated before, but at least it had the word "bloated" in its name. After being forced to grow too fast, it will at most be in a state of decline.

The Jie Sect is currently like a thin person recovering from a serious illness. Should they follow the same path as the Buddhist sect? If the Jie Sect does that, they can basically declare disbandment.

Based on Jinling Shengmu's understanding of Duobao Daoren, if this person felt that disbanding the Jie Sect would allow him to reach a higher level, he would not hesitate for a moment.
