Chapter 739 - 304: Chen Yi Who Abides by the Rules
"If the positions were reversed, and our Ancient Daoist Court was taken by outsiders, what decision would you Taoist disciples make?"
"..."
Indeed.
Today, it is the Buddhist ancient heritage that has been taken away; if someday the Taoist Court falls into the hands of certain old families, wouldn’t the Taoists face the same fate?
"However, rest assured, the Holy Emperor will not take things to the extreme," the Great Master noticed Li Qingzhou and Daoist Xuanjian’s silence, his tone much calmer as he said:
"He has left the Buddhists a way out. Once everything is ready, those Buddhist disciples will be given a choice."
Li Qingzhou sighed inwardly, nodded, and said, "That would be good."
Giving the Buddhists a chance for survival is also giving a lifeline to Confucians and Taoists, this is truly being vigilant in times of peace.
"The struggle over the Daoist heritage is too distant for us. If possible, I truly hope our Tianyuan Continent can inherit the ancient Daoist legacy." The Great Master lamented.
Daoist Xuanjian’s face, like withered bark, creased together. He glanced at the grand hall deep in the passageway, a glint of clarity flashing in his clouded eyes:
"If the human race of our Tianyuan Continent can break through the Demon Court’s blockade, perhaps there is still a sliver of hope."
"Difficult, difficult, difficult!"
