Duobao believes that the opportunity lies with the Dragon of Huanglong, and of course, he cannot let him go. While the Great Master Xuan Du and the Immortal Northern Grandfather believe that the opportunity has been seized by Duobao. Now they are carrying Huanglong like a cargo, undoubtedly trying to shift everyone's attention to Huanglong. They must lift this shield for Huanglong to truly expose Duobao behind it.
Huanglong, regardless of whether he wants to or not, has become a focal point for both parties to compete for.
The Great Master Xuan Du, who usually doesn't argue or compete, was quite firm in his attitude today: "Huanglong Brother and you have no past grievances. How can you injure him?"
Duobao pondered without speaking, as if he hadn't heard.
The Fire Spirit Mother interrupted and countered: "Master's intervention has its own reasons. Senior Brother outstripping oneself to interfere in our affair is rather amusing. Are all the people from your school of explanation dead?"
She intends to use words to push the Great Master Xuan Du away and confine the scope of the dispute between the School of Explanation and the School of Cutoff.
Now with the scattered School of Explanation in its current state, going to war with the School of Cutoff would be suicide.
Even if Zhao Gongming and Yun Xiao go to the Chaos realm to find Ranling, the four sword formations lack a leader and cannot be laid down, they exuans cannot fight against the school of Cutoff.
The Great Master Xuan Du had a very low profile in the past, but today with such a grand opportunity so close at hand, he really cannot retreat.
"The Fire Spirit Disciple only knows one aspect and doesn't understand the other. You must know that our three teachings are originally one family. As one family, the affairs between the School of Explanation and the School of Cutoff are naturally also our School of Teaching's affairs. Can you say that you think our School of Teaching is unimportant among the three?"
Even though he privately thinks of the School of Teaching as a mere decoration, in this particular setting, the Fire Spirit Mother dare not speak her true thoughts aloud.
With the sage's departure from the Primeval Age, his divine clone could no longer manage the affairs of the School of Dao. Now, these Daoist disciples need to maintain at least a harmonious state.
As the three teachings have not completely split, the Supreme Pure, Jade Pure, and Supreme Pure still maintain a superficial camaraderie. As disciples, none can pierce through this layer of window paper; anyone who breaks the unity would be a sinner to the three teachings.
To separate the brotherly relationship of the three sages for billions of years, are you not afraid of living?
As the Fire Spirit Mother ran out of words, Yu Yuan loudly said: "The three teachings are naturally close to each other, but no matter how much we talk about it, it's still you who are greedy for the opportunity here. You must know that the opportunity is destined from heaven, and those who are virtuous will be granted. Our school of teaching Master Uncle has profound blessings and high reputation. He arrived here first, so this opportunity should belong to our school of teaching Master Uncle!"
He uncovered the covers that several powerful individuals were hiding behind, revealing the current dispute.
The Great Master Xuan Du combed his beard without speaking and looked at the nearby Immortal Southern Grand Old Man. You can't let me take the lead in challenging the School of Cutoff, you also have to speak up.
The Immortal Southern Grand Old Man indeed had a bit of an attitude that everyone was fools, and only himself was the smartest.
Facing the Great Master Xuan Du's rebuke, he had to speak up: "Who should possess the opportunity, Huanglong Brother knows best. Why don't we wake up Huanglong Brother and ask him directly?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva bowed and worshipped: "Very good, very good. As a poor monk, I believe what Immortal Southern Friend said is reasonable. Let's wake up Huanglong Friend first."
Duobao looked at him indifferently, the three Great Bodhisattvas moving forward and backward together, sitting on lotus thrones and bowing in unison to express that this is what we mean.
Duobao said calmly, "The three of you are indeed deeply attached to the School of Explanation, which is truly commendable."
This is plainly speaking with sarcasm and trying to stir up discord, and the faces of several disciples on the Explanation side turned quite unsightly. However, with the powerful position of the School of Cutoff, using the old relationship based on incense offerings, and forming a temporary alliance with the three Great Bodhisattvas is not necessarily a bad thing.
The True Sage Taiyi loudly declared: "Let's first awaken Huanglong Brother, then discuss other matters!"
"That's right, Huanglong is also a member of our three teachings, a disciple of the sages. We must not lose face!" Yang Jian also chimed in.
Now that Huanglong is unconscious and has been carried around like a dead dog by Duobao, it's really not pretty.
The Immortal Southern Grand Old Man spoke in a sinister tone: "In fact, the opportunity is not with Huanglong Brother, but in Duobao Brother's hand. Did I say that wrong?"
Both the Great Master Xuan Du and Guanyin Bodhisattva have the same suspicion. In the Primeval Age, everything has a predetermined course. Often, what belongs to whom is marked before the treasure appears. Virtually everything is predetermined by fate.
The fortune of the Daoist person Duobao is extremely deep. Any one of his qualities, such as cultivation, character, and insight, is on par with the top talents among his generation. Now you say that the opportunity falls on Huanglong Realm Master? Hahaha, we don't believe it!
In fact, Guanyin Bodhisattva arrived earlier. He witnessed most of the process of Duobao and Menghe fighting before. If you didn't obtain the opportunity, why would Menghe fight fiercely with you? And why did you directly offer the Zhanxian Sword, not hesitating to face the heart demons' interference and spending a lot of divine power to beat back Menghe before many Daoist disciples arrived?
The Great Bodhisattvas have informants in the Heavenly Court as well. They know that today, the Celestial Emperor did not handle official business but was observing the Three Realms. Who was he observing?
The answer to all the questions ultimately points to Duobao.
The three Great Bodhisattvas of the School of Teaching, the School of Explanation, and Buddhism debated and condemned Duobao in turn while using their mutual understanding to form a pact of collaboration.
Let's first eliminate the strongest Duobao Daoist person, and then we can compete for this opportunity.
The disciples of the School of Cutoff have no problem fighting, but they cannot engage in verbal arguments. If this verbal argument is broken down, they might be able to engage in sheer nuisance, but the methods of labeling and grabbing hair are much too lacking.
Duobao remained silent without a word.
He can recognize the traps in the words of the Three Teachings of Humankind, Buddhism, and the Explanation, but he cannot personally take part in the conflict.
Zhuge Liang could engage in verbal arguments with a group of scholars when he first emerged from the peasant life, but after becoming the Chancellor of Shu Han, he couldn't do that anymore. What limited him was his status - what kind of status does what kind of thing.
He is the only one among the second-generation Daoist disciples who has eliminated his two bodies and has become a near-Sage. To engage in verbal sparring with his fellow disciples, peers, and junior students is truly unnecessary.
The Great Master Xuan Du and the Immortal Southern Grand Old Man teamed up, and occasionally Guanyin Bodhisattva would chip in as well. On the other side were Jinling Bodhisattva and Huolings Bodhisattva. When the situation fell into a disadvantage, Yu Yuan, a seemingly coarse but actually somewhat quick-witted third-generation heir apparent, would intervene to disrupt the game.
Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao were indeed present, but they also opposed Duobao taking away the great opportunity. Not dragging the heels was already showing consideration for their fellow disciples; helping out? That was out of the question.
The focus of the argument shifted from Huanglong to Duobao, then back to Huanglong, and the discussion had lasted for over half an hour. The mutual resentment between them grew stronger, and even Wenshu and Putian, two Great Buddhist Sages, secretly took out their weapons, ready to fight.
As a Buddha Bodhisattva, using the treasure given by the Primeval Emperor to fight is a bit embarrassing at this moment, but there's no time for that.
Suddenly, the Great Master Xuan Du noticed something amiss. The normally serene immortal suddenly struck with a palm, causing the clouds and winds to change, and the sun and moon to lose their brightness. At the same time, Duobao's and Huanglong's true forms seemed to be torn apart like shredded paper, quickly dispersing, and ultimately vanishing without a trace.
