Chương 34: The Alliance of Three Religions?

Boom!

The Water and Fire Boy's words were like a thunderclap, leaving Duobao Daoist and his group utterly stunned.

Duobao Daoren's position with Tongtian Jiaozhu was always as stable as Mount Tai, and no one could shake it.

But this time, Daoist Duobao was actually rejected?!

Not to mention Daoist Duobao, even the disciples of the Jie Sect who followed him could not accept it.

How could this be? Just because of a newly appointed personal disciple who appeared out of nowhere, Daoist Duobao has fallen out of favor?

However, the Tongtian Sect Leader and Fang Yang really had serious business to discuss.

Fang Yang submitted a missionary plan called "Plague Planting Plan" to Tongtian Jiaozhu, mainly to whitewash the Jie Sect.

Lü Yue's act of spreading plague inadvertently damaged the image of the Jie Sect in the world, turning it from a dignified and orthodox sect into a den of evil and filth.

The various races of the prehistoric world were not afraid of being slaughtered, because the harm of slaughter was temporary; once the killing was over, it would pass. But plagues were different.

Once a plague spreads, it will destroy the future of a race.

Those with powerful cultivation might have a chance to survive the plague, but newborn cubs and younger generations with weak cultivation would only die if they encountered Lü Yue's plague.

This is because Meng Zhen acted in time and Fang Yang stepped in to fill the gap; otherwise, the Tongtian Sect Leader's merits would have been reduced.

Even so, the Jie Sect's standing among all races is no longer what it used to be.

Fang Yang not only wanted to salvage the situation, but also to tell all races that the Jie Sect was not just a front for something else, and that everything the Jie Sect said was true.

All of this requires the help of the Supreme Sage.

Fang Yang only has the ability to propose plans, but not the ability to implement them.

The core of the "Plague Project" is to spread another "plague" throughout the entire prehistoric world; however, this "plague" is benign.

All living beings infected with this "plague" will possess the ability to be immune to all diseases and enjoy good health.

In the future, even if people like Lü Yue spread the plague, they will not be infected.

Therefore, this matter must be resolved by the Supreme Sage, a leading figure in the field of medicine.

Of course, this was also part of Fang Yang's plan.

By cooperating with the Humanist School and sharing merits, the interests of the Humanist School and the Intercepting School are gradually bound together.

Although Fang Yang could not possibly consider the Renjiao and Chanjiao as one family, he could still establish cooperative relationships with them.

Guang Chengzi's prejudice against the Jie Sect does not mean that all disciples of the Ren and Chan sects are prejudiced against the Jie Sect.

We can still try to win over Grand Master Xuandu, True Man Yuding, True Man Huanglong, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, and others.

After all, the Three Pure Ones are brothers, not enemies.

It is believed that the Sage of Taiqing and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable would also like to see the disciples of the three religions get along well and become as close as family.

The Tongtian Sect Leader saw through Fang Yang's plan at a glance. He didn't say anything on the surface, but he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort in his heart.

He received a disciple who truly had a broad perspective and the ability to develop the Jie Sect.

The Golden Spirit Mother, the Wudang Mother, Zhao Gongming, and others are not bad people; their character and cultivation are among the best of their generation.

However, they lack the concept of win-win cooperation, and they don't know how to develop allies or unite those around them who can be united.

They like to use their cultivation level to their advantage, but once that fails, they have no other means left.

"Fang Yang, you're planning to unite the Human Sect and the Chan Sect to spread your teachings, aren't you?"

The Master of Heaven hit the nail on the head regarding Fang Yang's ultimate goal.

Fang Yang had never intended to hide this from him. He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture before speaking.

"That's right. In fact, the concepts of the three schools of thought—Ren, Chan, and Jie—are progressively related, and there is no conflict between them over the fundamental principles."

"The People's Education Press advocates following the way of nature, that is, respecting the laws of nature."

"The way of the Chan sect to expound the heavens is to do things that are beneficial to oneself based on conforming to the timing and destiny of heaven."

"Our sect's approach of seizing a sliver of hope goes a step further than the Chan sect's philosophy. It seeks a way out of desperate situations and strives for opportunities beyond destiny. Although our sect and the Chan sect take different paths, we ultimately aim to ensure the continuation of the Great Dao of the Primordial World."

Fang Yang's eyes shone brightly as he spoke eloquently about his understanding of the relationship between the three schools of thought: Ren, Chan, and Jie.

The Tongtian Sect Leader nodded repeatedly, for Fang Yang's words had struck a chord with him.

The three brothers, Sanqing, never had any conflicting ideas. They were three brothers at first, and then each put forward their own ideas.

Given the bond between the three brothers, it's impossible that they would deliberately propose an idea that clearly contradicts the ideas of others.

Unless they don't know each other, or the third person who proposed the idea wants to deliberately make enemies of the first two.

Obviously, this situation will never occur.

From the very beginning, the three schools of thought have been complementary in their philosophy.

This connection was something that Daoist Duobao and the others hadn't noticed even after following him for so many years, but Fang Yang saw through it the moment he appeared.

One can only imagine how complex the Tongtian Sect Leader's feelings must have been at that moment.

"The alliance of the three religions to jointly spread the teachings is indeed a good idea. However, there are quite a few disciples of the Chan Sect who harbor prejudices against our Jie Sect. Isn't it a bit risky for you to cooperate with the Chan Sect?"

"Therefore, I first approached the Human Sect. I will establish cooperation with the Human Sect first, and then unite with fellow Daoists of the Chan Sect through the Human Sect. If this succeeds, there will be no problem in improving the relationship between the three sects."

"Are you really trying to improve relations between the three religions, rather than helping the faction within the Chan Sect that is at odds with Guang Chengzi and suppressing Guang Chengzi's position within the Chan Sect?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader once again exposed Fang Yang's plan. He didn't even need to calculate; he just thought about it and came to a conclusion.

Fang Yang even enslaved the disciples of the Jie Sect, so how could he possibly take the initiative to befriend the Chan Sect? His intentions were crystal clear in front of the Sage.

Fang Yang, however, felt no shame, but rather pride:

"This is all for the sake of the Chan and Jie sects. Fellow Daoist Guang Chengzi has too deep a prejudice against our sect. If we don't suppress him, the Chan and Jie sects will definitely have a life-or-death battle in the future."

"Moreover, since our sect is determined to secure a glimmer of hope for all living beings, we cannot turn a blind eye to the dragon race. Fellow Daoist Huanglong is the best breakthrough point for our sect."

In the end, the Tongtian Sect Leader did not object. As long as Fang Yang did not actively provoke a conflict between the Chan and Jie families, he would be able to give Yuanshi Tianzun an explanation.

Besides, watching the younger generation compete is quite interesting.

"I will go to your two senior uncles to discuss this matter. If this plan is successful, I will capture a Heavenly Dao of a Great Thousand World for you to help your World Tree advance."

Since the matter concerned the harmony of the three religions, the Tongtian Sect Leader became even more generous. He immediately offered to reward Fang Yang with the origin of the world.

Fang Yang was overjoyed. He wanted to confront a Grand Luo Golden Immortal head-on, and this was exactly what he lacked.

With the World Tree helping him sustain his power, he can allow his innate spiritual treasure to unleash the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal for an extended period of time.

With increased strength, he can do more things.
