The prestige of the Western faith is far less than during the period of Journey to the West. However, disciples such as the Medicine Buddha, Maitreya, and Great Virtue still left Mount Lingshan and set off for the Palace of Azure Tour.
The opportunity is rare, so it's better to listen than not to. After all, making a trip won't take much effort. In addition to consuming some heavenly treasures from the Ce Dao Sect, they would certainly make a huge profit.
The Venerable Duo Bao wants to accumulate merits, so his lectures cannot be empty words. They must be meaningful and genuinely his own insights into cultivation. If tens of thousands of immortals become entranced after listening to your lectures, it would not be appropriate. The heavens will not reward you with merits if that occurs.
The disciples of the Western sect have a very detached attitude. If the sermon goes smoothly, they will listen to the teachings earnestly and enjoy the fruits generously. If Ce Dao and Xuan Dao engage in battle, they will strike drums on the side. Regardless of the outcome, they will not suffer any loss.
The great master of the Mankind School, Xuan Du, is completely uninterested in it. You all argue your own causes, and it has nothing to do with me.
When we reached the Mt. Emei side, a small problem occurred.
Su Ji asks Deng someone: "Since both Xuan Dao and the Western sect have gone, should we go too? Or should we deliver a sermon as well? Could it be for the monkeys in Mt. Emei? Would that work?"
Deng Chanyu laughed at her: "Do you want to give a sermon? I think the glory story of your ax and skull is quite educational."
Even though her personality became more cheerful and generous, Su Ji still felt a bit embarrassed at the time. She pushed her lightly but not too heavily: "Don't say such things. I wouldn't dare speak about that thing if it weren't someone I know well."
Thinking that she would have to speak at length to many immortals, she shrank back immediately. The blush on her face seemed to have regained a bit of the shy look from when she was a girl named Jie.
At the thought of the embarrassing moment, she kept waving her hands: "I can't, I really can't. I don't know what to talk about."
Compared to this clumsy and playful person, Deng Chanyu is not afraid of the stage. It's just a lecture. She has seen the world's beginning at Xinkin Willow, and has seen three scenes of Zixing Palace lectures from the Nüwa Couch, so she has plenty of things to talk about. If she talks for ten or eight years without a break, it's no problem. The problem now is that if no one listens to her lectures, it would be too embarrassing.
She slapped Su Ji's thigh: "Let's go and see what the Venerable Duo Bao is delivering his sermon about."
Saying that she has no interest in the saintly position is just talk. But she is also well aware that her current realm as a Golden Immortal is far too distant from the position of a Saint. Even the Guang Chengzi and Zhao Gongming, at the peak of Great Solomon Immortals, have little hope, let alone her.
However, it's not the first to be fat that's really fat, and the later to be fat will eventually overload the bed.
The Venerable Duo Bao seems to be in a hurry to her. Even if he has been gifted the Hóngméng Zǐqì by Daozǔ, what does that matter? All the Saints in the past were made saints through merits, not gifts.
This path will be very long, long enough to cause people to feel apprehensive, and it is filled with thorns. Those who set out early may not necessarily reach the end point smoothly.
Just in time, Nuwa also urges her to go and see the commotion. So she called on Su Ji and added the fearless Zhaoqi.
It's also important to plan a strategy when causing trouble. One cannot solely rely on spontaneous performance. Before leaving, Deng Chanyu invited Zhaoqi and the master-apprentice pair rehearsed the plan in their cave first.
Deng Chanyu had met Venerable Duo Bao during her second visit to the Jade Void Palace, and it can be said that among the famous and powerful beings in the primordial chaos, there aren't many that she hasn't seen.
At this time, she imitated Venerable Duo Bao's accent and slowly said, "It is known that the Tao of heaven is to reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency. Therefore, there is emptiness."
With full chest, Zhaoqi roared: "I can't hear it! I can't hear anything! How dare you speak softly as if you're trying to emulate the Daozong?!"
His expression was very convincing, a kind of bravery that was completely unafraid of being killed on the spot.
Deng Chanyu gave a thumbs up: "Great! You're very energetic. That's how you should say it when the time comes! If you perform well, I'll add a chicken leg to your meal when we return."
She lowered her voice again: "When the time comes, keep an eye on the people from the Xuan School. If Yang Jian is present, move closer to Yang Jian when you speak. When Duo Bao asks who you are, shout that your name is Yang Jian."
Zhaoqi was not interested in chicken legs or anything else. What he was interested in was causing trouble, the more chaotic the better. As long as he couldn't bear it himself, he could always rely on his teacher, and if his teacher couldn't bear it, there was still the master. He had never feared anything in his dictionary.
Deng Chanyu instructed Zhaoqi to use the Eight-Nine Mystical Power to transform into the appearance of Yang Jian. She was somewhat familiar with Yang Jian, so she observed him from both the front and back at this time.
She examined him closely. If it were a person she knew well, it would be easy to spot the problem at a glance. Were Duo Bao and Yang Jian acquaintances?
Dang Wei and Su Ji, who were observing secretly and on the sidelines respectively, both laughed uncontrollably. "Your Eight-Nine Mystical Power has never done anything good!", Su Ji said while laughing.
After two rehearsals, everything seemed to be in order.
Deng Chanyu, Su Ji, Zhaoqi, and Xiao Qinglan, who had transformed into a miner, bid farewell to each other. The three of them left Mount Emei.
The positioning of Jin Zha, Mu Zha, and Huang Tianhua, as disciples of the Cai School, was a bit strange. Although they were not summoned for the lecture, Deng Chanyu felt that their speed was slow and did not call them as well.
After all, they were going to cause trouble. If they turned hostile, Su Ji could retreat into the Underworld with the protection of Pingxin Grandmother. Her safety did not need to be worried about. Deng Chanyu had the ability of becoming a phantom and her space power could drive her faster than Great Solomon Immortals if she used it to its fullest potential. At that time, bringing Zhaoqi along was not a problem at all. However, if she took along more than seven or eight people as burdens, that would be a different story.
From now on, if we want to listen to sermons, we can deliver them ourselves at home, and there's no need to listen to Venerable Duo Bao's teachings.
All preparations are completed, and the three people ride clouds to the Palace of Azure Tour.
Standing on Deng Chanyu's colorful auspicious cloud, Su Ji asked: "If we see the Saint of Shangqing later, what etiquette should I use to greet him?"
Su Ji had only ever met one Saint, the Saint of Pingxin, and as they drew closer to the Palace of Azure Tour, she became more and more nervous.
Deng Chanyu had met Tongtian Temple's Main Deity. Among all the great saints, except for the one who had always been secluded to cultivate, she had seen the others. She had even met people like Zhunyin several times. She could be considered experienced.
At this moment, hearing Su Ji's question, she laughed lightly: "Don't worry. The Saint of Shangqing is not at the Palace of Azure Tour."
"Really?"
"Really."
Duo Bao, unlike a child, doesn't need "adults" to protect him during his sermons. Tongtian Temple's Main Deity had left the Palace of Azure Tour long ago to head towards Yu Yu Tian that he had opened in the Chaos realm.
This signifies the approval of the Saint of Shangqing.
If Duo Bao were to deliver a sermon in front of tens of thousands of Jie Sect disciples at the Palace of Azure Tour, he would not be able to create any trouble. That would not qualify him for the position of a Saint.
At home, she was quite lively, but outside, Su Ji remained very dignified. Upon hearing that Tongtian Temple's Main Deity was not at home, she greatly relaxed.
I've been pondering along the way, wondering whether to use the Wu tribe's etiquette to greet Tongtian Temple's Main Deity or to use the Xuanmén etiquette, and then you say he's not at home? Have I been wasting my thoughts all this time?
Su Ji pouted her lips and muttered to herself, feeling that Deng Chanyu was intentional. She saw Zhaoqi lowering his head to look at the scenery below, and then she extended her little pink tongue, licked her lips, and made a hesitant expression as if she wanted to say something but didn't know how.
Seeing her expression, Deng Chanyu felt a sharp pain in her waist
