Chapter 769: The Development of the Three Religions
In addition, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu did not split up as they did in the original trajectory, and did not make the fact that the Three Pure Ones were originally one family a joke. What's more, although the current Chan Sect and Jie Sect are two sects, they are not much different from one sect because of the unified management of Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu!
It is precisely because Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu take turns to control the two major sects that the current Xianjiao has not split into several groups as in the original trajectory. Instead, it is like the Jiejiao, which puts righteousness first. When Xianjiao disciples encounter difficulties, those who are capable will take the initiative to help, and those who are not will also seek help from those who are capable! In general, the Xianjiao today can basically be said to be a loving family!
As for saying that Yuanshi Tianzun is partial, that is completely nonsense. You should know that Yuanshi Tianzun has quite a lot of disciples to manage nowadays, and as the saying goes, too many disciples make them less valuable!
Just like the original trajectory, Yuanshi Tianzun only regarded the disciples of the Chan Sect as his own disciples, and the disciples of the Ren Sect as his younger generations. He called for the killing of the Jie Sect, and felt that except for a few disciples, the rest of the Jie Sect disciples were a disgrace to the sect!
Because Taiqing Daode Tianzun was devoted to practicing Taoism and did not want to manage a sect, he directly stuffed the two few followers of the Human Sect into the Orthodox Sect and let Yuanshi Tianzun manage them!
Although the teachings of Jiejiao in this life are still to snatch a glimmer of hope for all living beings, and it is also teaching without discrimination, but when recruiting Jiejiao followers, not to mention that they have merits themselves, at the very least, they must be free of karma and wholeheartedly devoted to the Tao, and willing to practice!
Although the number of Jiejiao disciples had decreased significantly due to the restrictions of the rules, the Jiejiao sect still had a large number of immortals coming to pay homage. Under normal circumstances, the Jiejiao's religious affairs should be managed by Duobao Daoren, the eldest disciple of Tongtian Patriarch.
However, Tongtian Patriarch also realized through Bai Zhen's reminder and personal observation that his eldest disciple Duobao Taoist had some minor problems. If Duobao Taoist took charge of Jiejiao right from the start, there was a great possibility that Jiejiao would be led into trouble!
In this life, Tongtian Patriarch did not follow the path of slaying the Three Corpses, and the idea of the Three Corpses incarnating to manage the sect became a pipe dream. Furthermore, since the teachings of the Human, Expounding, and Jie sects are inherently complementary, allowing the Three Pure Ones to participate in the management of each other's sects would only benefit their own cultivation!
Therefore, after some discussion, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu finally decided to take turns to manage the three religions, allowing the believers to practice their own great ways and to improve their own doctrines based on the situation of the other sects!
The Yuanshi Tianzun now has more than just two or three big and small disciples under his command like in the original track. It is precisely because the number of disciples under his management is really too many that even a saint cannot provide targeted guidance. Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun can only choose to let them go like Tongtian Jiaozhu. At most, when he is preaching, he can borrow the authority of the saint to provide targeted guidance for a short period of time!
It is also because there are more disciples who need to be taught. Although Yuanshi Tianzun is still protective of his disciples, that is only when it comes to external disciples, and it is not the kind of protection that helps relatives but not others!
Perhaps because he had personally taught disciples of the Human Religion and the Jie Religion, and witnessed their firm determination to seek the truth, Yuanshi Tianzun was more sympathetic and less prejudiced towards those who were not talented and had little blessings.
As the saying goes, what goes up comes down. The good brotherhood between Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu and their equal treatment of their followers make the group of disciples of the Chenjiao who used to be arrogant in the original trajectory more approachable under Yuanshi Tianzun's seat, and the disciples of the Jiejiao no longer just maintain superficial peace with the disciples of the Chenjiao as in the original trajectory!
Getting back to the point, Bai Zhen did not choose to answer Tongtian Sect Master's question. After all, in Bai Zhen's opinion, even the creatures with mental problems in the prehistoric world knew that the disciples of the saints should not be insulted, let alone killed!
Even if a creature loses its mind due to the calamity energy entering its body during a catastrophe, few of them can kill a saint's disciple. After all, the benefits enjoyed by a saint's disciple are much better than those of a group of casual cultivators. If they cannot defeat each other when they are at the same level, it only proves that they are indeed a bit shameful!
