Transmigrating into Haotian, ruling the Three Pure Ones and pacifying the primordial world.

"Please have a seat, fellow Daoists," Yaochi sighed helplessly, gesturing for the fairy maids behind her to serve tea.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Bodhisattva Amitabha bowed and, as soon as he sat down, immediately spoke, "Your Majesty, please uphold justice for Buddhism! The Three Pure Ones have gone too far!"

"What have I done to deserve your anger?" Laozi's voice was calm, with a cold glint in his eyes. If His Majesty hadn't suddenly spoken, he could have stopped these two people outside Longde Palace.

Jieyin sneered: "When Buddhism was first established, Maitreya and Bhaisajyaguru were listed on the Investiture of the Gods. This humble monk truly had no one capable of shouldering the responsibility, which allowed Dipankara to take advantage of the situation and seize control of Buddhism through karmic connections."

"Now that Maitreya Bhaisajyaguru has been reincarnated as Gongsun Long and Huishi, he has established a great family among the human race and returned with merit. He should take over Buddhism and become the leader of our Buddhism, while Dipankara should abdicate directly."

"But these three people sent Duobao to the West as a reincarnation, intending to use the same trick again to send a new leader to Buddhism."

Jieyin glared at the Three Pure Ones with hatred, "They had Cihang and the other two stop Maitreya and the Medicine Master, preventing my disciple from returning, just to buy time for Duobao."

"Your Majesty, Buddhism was established by my fellow disciple Bodhi. How can it end up benefiting others? Maitreya Bhaisajyaguru was originally a disciple of the Western Sect and made great contributions to the establishment of Buddhism."

"We can't let ourselves be excluded now!"

"Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to uphold justice for Buddhism and for Maitreya, the Medicine Buddha."

Listening to the rapid-fire speech, Haotian couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose. Even as the Heavenly Emperor, he had to settle disputes!

Yaochi glanced at Sanqing and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This time, Senior Brother Taiqing had tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead!

Previously, preventing the Bodhi Path from coming here was undoubtedly crossing the line for my senior brother. They dared to stop even saints, so what if it were other immortals or gods?

Jieyin's words were reasonable and well-founded. Under normal circumstances, the senior brother might have given both sides equal blame, but now, he would probably have to lean towards Buddhism to some extent.

"How do you, Fellow Daoists Sanqing, explain yourselves?" Haotian asked calmly.

The three men's expressions changed slightly; the Heavenly Emperor's words revealed his attitude.

A look of joy flashed in Jieyin's eyes, and Bodhi also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, I naturally have something to say." Yuan Shi pressed down on Laozi's sleeve; it was not the right time for his elder brother to explain.

A trace of worry appeared between Jieyin's brows, and Yuanshi looked directly at him, speaking directly to his weak point: "Fellow Daoist Jieyin speaks from the original Western Religion's perspective, but makes no mention of what Duobao has done."

"Duobao didn't just parachute into Buddhism. He was reincarnated with a primordial treasure, the Golden Lotus of Creation. This is a supreme treasure that can suppress destiny. I don't need to elaborate on how important it is to the sect."

Yuanshi glanced at Jieyin with disdain: "Even if you lived three lifetimes, you still couldn't afford a supreme innate treasure."

"You..." Jieyin's eyes flashed with anger, and even Bodhi raised his head to give Yuanshi a deep look.

Haotian coughed lightly and tapped the table: "No personal attacks."

Yuanshi took a deep breath, suppressing the disdainful words that almost escaped his lips, and replied with a "Yes."

He looked up at Tongtian's head, his tone becoming somewhat ethereal: "I admit that when you Buddhists were established, I sent Randeng, Cihang, and others there to compete for the orthodoxy of Buddhism, using the Buddhist fortune to help my disciples attain enlightenment."

"But you deserve it. No matter how much you did for the establishment of Buddhism, the fact that you two led a thousand disciples of the Jie Sect to the West is undeniable."

"Cause and effect are intertwined; my actions are reasonable and well-founded!"

The Bodhisattva who guided the Bodhisattva remained silent, for this was the truth.

"Duobao has come with the Golden Lotus of Creation. This humble monk can give him the position of Buddha, but he cannot replace Maitreya."

Upon hearing what Jieyin said, the Three Pure Ones all sneered. They had done so much, even giving up innate treasures, only to gain a Buddha's position in return. It would have been better to simply split Buddhism to obtain more fortune!

Laozi stopped Yuanshi, stared at the two of them for a moment, and pointed at the water mirror. The scene of Duobao merging with his previous life's body appeared, and with him as the center, all the people of the Western Continent worshipped devoutly.

"You two aren't fools either. Your Buddhist teachings are biased. Duobao cultivated for tens of thousands of times in the Jie Sect and then went into seclusion for a whole Yuan Hui at Shouyang Mountain, integrating the great laws of the three sects of Ren, Chan, and Jie with the teachings of Hinayana Buddhism."

"Now that Duobao has spread it throughout the Western countries, it can be called Mahayana Buddhism. You should not fail to see its potential!"

When the Bodhisattva heard him repeatedly mention Mahayana Buddhism and belittle Theravada Buddhism in his words, his eyes showed displeasure.

Seeing that Duobao's luck was constantly gathering while Buddhism's own luck was dissipating, the two could only remain silent.

The Buddhism they created was initially for the Western Paradise, and their vision was limited to the Western lands. They could only prove the absence of self, and some of their disciples were also self-centered, focusing on escaping the world and practicing asceticism.

The unique feature of Duobao is that it forges the immortal path to save countless people. It is filled with countless Buddhas in the ten directions, takes the world as its place of practice, and enters the world to save people. It is most suitable for universally saving all sentient beings.

This is the great aspiration for everyone to attain Buddhahood!

This alone can bring hope to the world.

Lao Tzu's eyes flashed with a cold light: "Your Western region has always lacked the Great Law, it is a barbarian land. I, the humble Taoist, have converted the barbarians to Buddhism, and Duobao has already comprehended the Mahayana Buddhist teachings..."

A look of unease appeared on Jieyin's face. Laozi sneered, "If you don't let Duobao take the throne, we'll part ways!"

"What do you mean by this?" the guide asked, his voice trembling.

"What do you mean?" Yuanshi Tongtian rose, his eyes icy cold. "Let Duobao establish Mahayana Buddhism, and let the two Buddhisms go to war. Let's see which side will emerge victorious!"

"At that time, I will definitely destroy your Theravada Buddhist lineage."

"How dare you!" Jieyin said angrily.

"What wouldn't I dare? Do you dare fight to the death?" Tongtian's voice seemed to conceal the glint of swords, its sharpness sending chills down Jieyin Bodhi's spine. "I tell you, the fish may die, but the net will not break!"

His elder brothers have done so much for him, these words are very likely to anger the Heavenly Emperor, so let him say it!

"Your Majesty," Bodhi pleaded, this being the first time he had spoken about Buddhism since entering the Longde Palace.

"Your Majesty, I know that what I did before was inappropriate, but Duobao is related to my third brother's future path, so I have no choice but to fight for it." Laozi also bowed down.

Haotian watched a lawsuit, then gently put down his teacup. The clinking sound was particularly clear in the quiet Longde Palace. The five people in the hall didn't dare to breathe, anxiously awaiting the Heavenly Emperor's judgment.

"This matter is very easy to handle," Haotian said calmly. The Three Pure Ones and Jieyin lowered their eyelids, as if awaiting the final judgment.

"Can you accept a split within Buddhism?"

Jieyin's face turned ashen: "Your subject cannot."

"Can you give up the Primordial Lotus, this innate treasure?"

Jieyin murmured, then shook his head. Without a supreme treasure to suppress its fortune, Buddhism would eventually perish like the Jie Sect of the past.

"Then you have no choice but to accept him!" Haotian said softly, glancing at the smile on Sanqing's face out of the corner of his eye, and chuckled to himself.
