Many of Dao Ren Duobao's actions are easily interpreted as mean and ungracious. In dealing with the Jie School and his fellow monks, he seems to lack the breadth of vision that a senior brother should possess. As an elder brother, he is more like a father figure, but very few disciples of the Jie School feel the warmth of this elder brother. Instead, they find him to be overly strict and rational to the point of being inhumane.
In the original time and space, Duobao was transformed into a Buddha and there were no psychological obstacles. He became the Buddha of the Buddhist religion.
Jie School? Where is Tongtian Jiaozhuyi's kindness? All the karma is now wiped out?
In reality, Duobao can be considered a refined egotist of the primeval era. He has his own set of behavioral principles. If you give me two pounds of Maotai, and I treat you to a session with a technician for exchange and sparring, as long as I think I have repaid you, that's enough. As for how you perceive it, that is unimportant.
To the Jie School and Tongtian Jiaozhuyi, he held this attitude. As long as his own actions are worthy of the teachings of the Jie School and Tongtian Jiaozhuyi, that is enough. He would never gamble with his own life and path for meaningless things.
Bixiao proposed that all disciples go to Hundun to support Tongtian Jiaozhuyi, which he thought was completely meaningless and equivalent to throwing away their lives.
The time is unknown, the location is unknown, and who the enemy is also unknown.
A complete blank.
With Tongtian Jiaozhuyi already trapped, why would you still go to rescue him? Do you know how much rice you can eat?
Qiong Xiao was extremely dissatisfied with his elder brother's perfunctory attitude and immediately came to his sister's defense: "Can we just sit here passively and come up with a strategy? Our teacher has bestowed upon us the Four Slaying Sword of Jixian. The elder brother and the two sisters each take charge of one sword, and my sister will hold another. The elder brother can then refine the array map, so even if we encounter an enemy as powerful as a sage, we should be able to manage it for at least a while, right?"
The Jueshen Sword was previously bestowed upon Zhao Gongming. When Zhao Gongming followed Tongtian Jiaozhuyi into the chaos, the Jueshen Sword was sent back to the primeval world. Only when the four swords are together can the Zhushen Sword formation be set up; three swords are not enough.
As for stuffing Dengchan Yu's Duanshen Sword into the formation, that's also not possible. The formation is an extremely rigorous combination. Tongtian Jiaozhuyi has innovated and improved upon the original Zhushen Sword Array, reaching a new height. Now each sword's characteristics are fully utilized as part of the formation, making it impossible to replace any of them.
Duobao, Jinling, and Wudang each took a sword, and Yunxiao took another one. Duobao had previously studied the Zhushen Sword Array for several hundred years and had created countless array maps for various array diagrams. With the four top masters of the Jie School, the Four Slaying Sword of Jixian, and the array map, replicating this top-tier kill formation in the primeval world should not be a problem.
It's possible that they still won't be able to defeat the chaos deities, but relying on the great array to resist for a couple of rounds and giving Tongtian an opportunity, in Qiong Xiao's view, is feasible.
It depends on whether Duobao is willing.
Duobao remained silent, lost in thought, as if considering something, or perhaps he didn't hear clearly. He sat alone at his seat, lost in contemplation.
Both Jinling and Wudang frowned slightly, feeling that the elder brother lacked responsibility. Everyone knows the dangers of the chaos; going there is almost a one-way trip with no return. But as the one with the longest time in the sect and the greatest benefits received, you can't just sit at home while we female immortals go out to fight.
Yunxiao slowly opened his mouth. Before coming to the Azure Immortal Palace, she specifically asked Dengchan Yu.
Deng has become an expert on the chaos in the primeval era, and most things that fall on her head, she can find a solution for. She is close to the stage where "the abilities were used in past eras, and Hongmin called it 'able'."
She gave Yunxiao a good suggestion.
"Big Brother, three sisters, Yunxiao has heard that the Buddhist school has nine supreme and sacred divine powers. It is said that when these nine supreme powers are jointly driven, they can simulate a tiny supreme divine power of a Sage. I don't know if this is true. Can we use this thread of divine power of a Sage to infer our master's whereabouts?"
Jinling, Wudang, and the Turtle Spirit all turned their gaze towards Duobao. We don't have access to information about the Buddhist school's divine powers. This matter is known only to you. Could you explain it to us?
Duobao's thoughts flashed, and in just a moment, he understood Yunxiao's meaning and knew who had made this suggestion.
As long as he doesn't go to die in the chaos, he is willing.
All he has to sacrifice is some spiritual power and interpersonal favors.
He calmly said, "This is not an empty statement. In the past, Jieyin Buddha, with great wisdom and tenacity, established the Nine Supreme and Sacred Laws that embody 'Body of No Superiority' and 'Path of No Superiority'. He hoped that this would allow people to understand even a little bit of the power of a Sage. If all nine gateways are gathered together, it might truly be possible to imitate a little bit of the power of a Sage."
Jieyin also wanted to, like Hongjun, open up a path for the beings in the primeval era to defeat the three poisons, but he went off track with the Nine Supreme path.
The difficulty is too high, and the practice of each other conflicts. Even if you practice one kind of special skill after another, the difficulty will increase at least tenfold. As top-tier divine abilities of the Buddhist school, practicing them at a higher level would be even more difficult. It's not just about practicing nine different kinds of special skills simultaneously; even practicing two different special skills would be an extremely difficult task.
Duobao Buddha practiced the third-ranked "See No Superiority" and secretly practiced the fourth-ranked "Wisdom No Superiority," effectively mastering two special skills.
Jinling Holy Mother said, "Brother, finding our teacher is the top priority today; everything else is trivial. What do you think about the possibility of using the Nine Supreme methods to find our teacher's whereabouts?"
"The power of a Sage is difficult for us to guess with our current level. I can only say that there is some chance."
Bixiao immediately became excited: "What are we waiting for? Let's go to Mount Pure Land at once!"
Duobao calculated once more. With so many disciples in the Buddhist sect, the momentum had surged and was now at its peak. A few core disciples could probably gather the Nine Supreme powers together. He really didn't know which specific Supreme power each one was practicing; this kind of key information was only known to Moonlight Buddha, who was in charge of the sect.
This is for the purpose of finding Tongtian Jiaozhuyi, which is a matter of the Jie School. It definitely cannot be handled by Moonlight Buddha, and it will consume his favor. Duobao's face isn't that big either. If he wants to get the help of Miaolai and Yuchi, he will have to pay some costs for the Jie School. This is an unavoidable situation. He isn't the leader of the sect, so he doesn't have the authority to command the disciples. He can only rely on a large amount of precious materials to attract them.
He nodded: "Yes."
Just as they were about to set off for Mount Pure Land, Yuanyuan rushed into the hall: "Master, our seniors and elders, the monk Xuan Dong of the human sect claims to have been sent by the Sage with a mandate. I, as a disciple, cannot neglect this matter. Please help us deal with it."
If Xuan Dao doesn't bring out the Sage, Yuanyuan would never have reported on his behalf. Right now, our Jie School is busy with its own affairs and doesn't have the time to deal with you. However, if there is a mandate from a Sage, that's a different story. Perhaps Taqing Sage has some clues or solutions?
Jinling Holy Mother looked at her junior sisters and then sent a questioning glance to Duobao with her eyes. "I understand, I'll go see him right away. Brother, there's no time to waste. It is our first priority to aid our teacher. Some trivial wealth is not worth mentioning. You all go to Mount Pure Land first, and I'll arrive shortly."
This time, Duobao did not refuse: "Yes."
