章節 22: Regardless of the Immeasurable Power of Buddha, I am Invincible in This World
編輯: Henyee Translations
The disciples looked at Liu Qingfeng, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Master Xuan Xin's winning streak caught the attention of not only Middle-Earth but the entire world.
Those who had been watching Xuan Xin's debates from the very beginning would clearly comment that Xuan Xin's wisdom was unparalleled.
Some world leaders were even deeply impressed and believed that Xuan Xin was the real incarnation of Buddha.
The Buddhism sects in the west were fully prepared this time to promote Dharma in Middle-Earth. The plan to do this was incredibly ambitious and big.
Once Xuan Xin succeeded, whether or not Buddhism could actually be spread in Middle-Earth still remained a question. However, it was evident that all Dao sects would suffer a heavy blow.
In history, the conflict between Buddhism and Daoism had always existed. They once saw each other as the deadliest enemy and even had a full-scale war, during which caused the lives of countless people in the process.
In the end, Daoism occupied Middle-Earth while Buddhism took the western desert to develop themselves.
However, since Middle-Earth was much more populous and resourceful than the desert. Daoism prevailed and grew quickly.
Therefore, Daoism wouldn't allow other religions to enter Middle-Earth.
From time to time, Buddhism would seek opportunities to promote Dharma in Middle-Earth, but their attempts were always firmly rejected.
This time, under the thoughtful arrangement made by some world leaders, Buddhism seized this rare opportunity and relied its hopes on Master Xuan Xin.
If Master Xuan Xin really succeeded, the situation would become very difficult to handle for all the Dao sects. They would have to allow Buddhism to enter Middle-Earth unless they decided to be completely shameless and still firmly resist Buddhism.
However, if Master Xuan Xin was defeated, then everything would go back to normal.
But the reality was this, Master Xuan Xin had already successively defeated five saint lands. The descendants of several old families also suffered a crushing defeat. Xuan Xin's success wasn't only in the debates alone, but was also in terms of fighting.
All the Dao sects felt a deep sense of shame.
On the main peak.
Liu Qingfeng cleared his throat as he lowered down his voice, "It is simple; 'Regardless of the immeasurable power of Buddha, I am invincible in this world.'"
Liu Qingfeng didn't come up with this on his own, it was from a book he once read. He merely did some modifications to it.
At first, Liu Qingfeng saved this passage for himself; but to show Lu Changsheng's extraordinary demeanor, he decided to share it with the rest of the disciples.
"Wow!"
"Eldest Senior Brother said this?"
"He indeed deserves his title! The Eldest Senior Brother of Zenith Heaven! How cool!"
"'Regardless of the immeasurable power of Buddha, I am invincible in this world.' It's really impressive! Eldest Senior Brother's the only one who has the courage to say this."
"I can't wait to see how Eldest Senior Brother beats Xuan Xin at the debate."
"These words were simple but so profound."
"If Eldest Senior Brother beats Master Xuan Xin, he will certainly be promoted to becoming the Saint Son of the sect."
"That's right! He'll definitely become the Saint Son of the sect immediately. All the saint lands should treat Eldest Senior Brother with the greatest respect."
"Buddhism is being rather aggressive this time. Fortunately, we can be rest assured because of Eldest Senior Brother."
Liu Qingfeng's unreliable bragging made the disciples extremely exhilarated.
After some casual chatting, they all left the main peak.
Within the same day, another rumor became widespread in Zenith Heaven.
"Have you heard it? Even though Master Xuan Xin defeated five saint lands in a row , Eldest Senior Brother's response to this was rather simple. Do you know what he said?"
"What?"
"'Regardless of the immeasurable power of Buddha, I am invincible in this world.'"
"Wow! Eldest Senior Brother is indeed the no.1 disciple in the sect!"
"Eldest Senior Brother's such a dominating figure!"
"I was worried earlier, but Eldest Senior Brother's words have set my mind at rest."
"Wow! Wonderful!"
A rumor could truly be more fierce than a tiger. Within a day, the rumor was already everywhere.
The sentence which was extracted by Liu Qingfeng from a book was repeated over and over again by everyone.
Now, the elders have also heard about it.
The head of Sword Hall, "Awesome! He's indeed the number one in Zenith Heaven! He's rather low-key most of the time, but at this crucial moment, he shows his confidence and determination without hesitation!"
The head of Talisman Hall, "Amazing! Marvellous! What he said fully shows the dignity of Daoism and the vigour of Zenith Heaven."
The head of Penalty Hall, "My martial nephew is such an impressive young man! Within three years, his cultivation is already too profound to be understood. And at the grand ceremony, he made Li Zheng the Top Scholar between Heaven and Earth with just two words. At such a young age, Changsheng has already obtained the Heart of Invincibility. He's a piece of fine, pure jade!"
One Senior Elder told the Sect Master of the sect, "Qing Yun, you have such a good student!"
None of the senior leaders doubted the rumor. Instead, they believed that Lu Changsheng was truly going to use Xuan Xin to strengthen his Heart of Invincibility. His courage was awe-inspiring; his wisdom was immeasurable.
In the Zenith Palace.
Perfected Qing Yun sighed as he murmured to himself, "I knew I was right about Changsheng's talent. But Changsheng tends to be overly humble and cautious, I guess it can be a good thing though. In the world of cultivation, one can never be too careful as a situation never remains the same."
The second day.
On the main peak.
Lu Changsheng had been thinking about something all day, he was trying to come up with a way to avoid the debate when Xuan Xin came to Zenith Heaven.
Should he pretend to be sick?
Suffer from diarrhea?
Bad mood?
Or should he just coldly tell Xuan Xin that the latter wasn't qualified to be his opponent?
None of them sounded reasonable enough.
However, at this time.
A resounding voice arrived from the bottom to the peak,
"This is Junior Brother Jin Yang. Senior Brother, your heroic utterance deeply touched me. I'm here to pay my great respect and wish you all the success in the debate, and that the dignity of Daoism will be further promoted!" Jin Yang's voice was as loud as a heavy bell ringing.
Then, another voice arrived.
"This is Junior Brother Xu Yinyang. Senior Brother, your words are unbelievably awe-inspiring! I'm also here to wish you all the success! Also, I hope that you'll strengthen the Heart of Invincibility and lead Zenith Heaven to an even more glorious future!"
Lu Changsheng really had no idea what was going on today.
Then, another voice arrived after the previous disciple.
In total, one hundred and seven disciples expressed their admiration to him. In Zenith Heaven, there were a hundred and eight Immediate Disciples in the sect. The only one who wasn't here was Zi Yun.
However, Lu Changsheng had no idea at all why these Immediate Disciples were gathering at the bottom of his peak.
What did he say?
What success?
What was the Heart of Invincibility?
What were they talking about?
Could anyone be more specific?
Lu Changsheng had a feeling that something was wrong.
At this time, an even louder voice agitated the entire Zenith Heaven, "Latest news! Latest news! Master Xuan Xin has defeated the sixth saint land! He just made a proclamation! Seven days later, he will come to Zenith Heaven and have a debate on Buddhism with Eldest Senior Brother!"
The moment when the voice arrived.
Zenith Heaven buzzed from the news.
Lu Changsheng's mind went completely blank.
