Black Night Filled the Sky
Chapter 22 Let Him Possess Boundless Buddhist Power, I Shall Be Unrivaled in This World [New Book Seeks Collection]
Everyone looked at Liu Qingfeng, their eyes filled with curiosity.
The Dharma Master Xuanxin had debated in Central Continent, and no one was his match. This matter was no longer just the focus of Central Continent; it could be said it had become the focus of the world.
Some had been watching Xuanxin's debates and ultimately judged him as being of unparalleled wisdom.
Even some supreme figures praised him endlessly, believing that Buddhism might truly have produced a reincarnated Buddha.
The Western Buddhist sect had made all preparations this time, seeking to promote Buddhism in Central Continent, and the benefits and plans within were unimaginable.
If Xuanxin succeeded in the debates, even if Buddhism couldn't necessarily flourish in Central Continent, the Daoist sect would definitely suffer a great loss.
Since ancient times, the disputes between Daoism and Buddhism had been significant. In some extreme eras, the two were considered enemies, fiercely opposing each other, and large-scale wars had occurred, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.
Ultimately, however, the Daoist sect occupied Central Continent, and the Buddhist sect occupied the Western Desert, each developing their own sects.
But Central Continent had abundant spiritual energy and a large population. Naturally, forces from all over the world wanted to get involved, but the Daoist teachings of Central Continent were widespread.
How could they allow foreign religions to enter?
So, after who knows how many years, the Buddhist sect frequently proposed promoting Buddhism in Central Continent, but they were consistently rejected by the Daoist sect.
Only this time, the great figures had carefully maneuvered, and the Buddhist sect had seized an opportunity, and this opportunity lay with Dharma Master Xuanxin.
If Dharma Master Xuanxin truly succeeded in the debates, the Daoist sect would indeed have a headache, unless they abandoned all shame and resisted Buddhism. Otherwise, they would basically have to allow Buddhism to promote its teachings in Central Continent.
But if Dharma Master Xuanxin failed in the debates, then too bad, go do what you were doing before.
However, reality was cruel. Dharma Master Xuanxin not only defeated the five great sacred grounds, but some younger generations from ancient families also came out to debate, and they all failed one by one. Not only in debate but also in combat, they were defeated by Xuanxin.
They had lost all face.
Great Luo Main Peak.
Liu Qingfeng cleared his throat, then lowered his voice.
"What Senior Brother said is simple: Let his Buddhist teachings be boundless; I will be invincible in this world."
This sentence wasn't thought up by Liu Qingfeng but was seen in an ancient book and then modified to highlight his extraordinary and transcendent nature.
Originally, Liu Qingfeng had reserved this sentence for himself, but now, to highlight Lu Changsheng's extraordinary nature, he said it like this.
"Hiss!"
"Heavens, did Senior Brother really say that?"
"As expected of Senior Brother, these words are indeed domineering."
"Let his Buddhist teachings be boundless; I will be invincible in this world. Good, good, good, Senior Brother is indeed extraordinary."
"Hahaha, I'm now eagerly awaiting Xuanxin's arrival at our Great Luo Sacred Ground. Then, we'll see how Senior Brother defeats him."
"Twelve words, saying it all."
"If Senior Brother can truly defeat Dharma Master Xuanxin, then Senior Brother is likely to rise to the position of Holy Son."
"That's right. If Senior Brother can defeat Dharma Master Xuanxin, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to immediately appoint him as the Holy Son. Even the great sacred grounds would respect Senior Brother."
"This time, the Buddhist sect is eyeing us covetously, wanting to get involved in our Central Continent's sacred grounds. It's simply wishful thinking, but fortunately, we have Senior Brother, and we can be completely at ease."
After listening to Liu Qingfeng's flurry of boasting, the disciples were all elated and incredibly confident.
Afterward, they chatted for a while before returning to their respective places.
And that day, a rumor spread throughout the Great Luo Sacred Ground.
"Have you heard? Dharma Master Xuanxin has defeated the five great sacred grounds. Someone went to Senior Brother to ask about this matter, and Senior Brother replied with twelve words. Do you know what those twelve words were?"
"What did he say?"
"Let his Buddhist teachings be boundless; I will be invincible in this world."
"Hiss! Senior Brother is mighty! He is indeed the number one person in our Great Luo."
"These words are truly incomparably domineering. As expected of Senior Brother."
"I was a little worried before, but now that I've heard Senior Brother say this, I'm completely at ease."
"Good, good, good. What a line: 'Let his Buddhist teachings be boundless; I will be invincible in this world.' Good!"
Rumors are fiercer than tigers. In an instant, they spread throughout the Great Luo Sacred Ground.
The sentence fabricated by Liu Qingfeng was praised to the heavens.
Soon, it even reached the ears of the various elders of Great Luo.
Hall Master of the Sword Control Hall!
"Good! As expected of the number one person in our Great Luo. This grand-nephew is usually low-key, but at a crucial moment, he doesn't hesitate at all. Good, very good!"
Hall Master of the Talisman Hall!
"A dragon among men, a dragon among men! These words are simply exalting the style of our Daoist sect, exalting the momentum of our Great Luo."
Hall Master of the Punishment Hall.
"My grand-nephew is truly remarkable. After cultivating for three years, he is already unfathomable. At the appointment ceremony, he relied on a single sentence to make Li Zheng a great Confucian of the world. Now, at a young age, he has already established an invincible heart. He is a true flawless jade!"
A certain Supreme Elder.
"Qingyun, you've taken in a good disciple."
After hearing this 'rumor,' none of the high-ranking members of Great Luo questioned it. Instead, they believed that Lu Changsheng was establishing his invincible heart, using Xuanxin as a trial stone, possessing great courage and great wisdom.
Great Luo Palace.
When Qingyun learned of this matter, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, then fell into contemplation. After a while, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I knew I hadn't misjudged him. Alas, my disciple really likes to pretend. He's clearly so powerful, yet he appears so cautious. But that's fine too. Strong when he should be strong, weak when he should be weak. On the path of cultivation, living long is the true key."
And the next day.
In the main peak.
Lu Changsheng thought for an entire day. He was thinking, what if Xuanxin really came to the Great Luo Sacred Ground? What reason should he use to reject the debate?
Physical discomfort?
Diarrhea?
Bad mood?
Or coldly say, "You are not worthy to debate with me"?
After thinking it over, none of these reasons seemed very good.
But at this moment.
An incomparably loud voice rang out from below the main peak.
"Junior Brother Jinyang, having heard Senior Brother's bold words yesterday, has come to pay respects to the mountain today, wishing Senior Brother a successful start, promoting our profound Dharma, and exalting the prestige of our Dao!"
The voice was extremely loud, like a great bell.
Soon another voice rang out.
"Junior Brother Xu Yinyang, having heard Senior Brother's words, is deeply moved. Has come to pay respects to the mountain today, first wishing Senior Brother a successful start, and wishing Senior Brother to establish an invincible heart, leading Great Luo to glory."
Lu Changsheng hadn't reacted yet.
Soon another voice rang out.
In the end, a full one hundred and seven voices rang out. There were a total of one hundred and eight true disciples of Great Luo Sacred Ground. He was the senior brother, surpassing the true disciples, and there was also Ziyun.
That is to say, a full one hundred and seven true disciples had all gathered at the foot of the main peak, saying a bunch of inexplicable things.
What bold words?
What successful start?
What establish an invincible heart?
What are you talking about?
Can you be clearer?
For some reason, Lu Changsheng vaguely felt a sense of foreboding.
And at this moment, an even louder voice exploded in the Great Luo Sacred Ground.
"Urgent report! Urgent report! Dharma Master Xuanxin has defeated the sixth sacred ground and has declared that in seven days, he will come to our Great Luo Sacred Ground to debate Buddhist teachings with Senior Brother!"
The voice rang out.
The Great Luo Sacred Ground was completely沸腾 (fèiténg - boiling, seething).
And Lu Changsheng was completely懵 (měng - muddled, dazed).
