Debating the Immortals, Turning the Chan Sect Green with Envy

Qin Feng's voice, calm yet tinged with amusement, exploded like a thunderclap out of nowhere, ringing clearly in everyone's ears and piercing the depths of the divine senses hidden in the void.

"Help repair the mountain gate?"

What an insult!

What arrogance!

High above in the sky, the expressions of the twelve Chan Sect Golden Immortals, who had been looking down on all beings like gods, instantly froze.

Especially Chi Jingzi, known for his fiery temper, who exploded on the spot.

"Presumptuous!"

A furious roar shook the very sky.

Chi Jingzi took a step forward, immortal light surging around him. He pointed at Qin Feng below and berated him fiercely, "You demon, your ruthless attack and injuring my junior brother Taiyi is already a heinous crime! Now that we senior and junior brothers have come to hold you accountable, not only do you refuse to surrender, but you dare to spew eloquent nonsense here, twisting right and wrong! Do you really think the Chan Sect's Immortal Swords are not sharp enough?!"

His roar contained the supreme pressure of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Ordinary beings who heard it would likely have their souls shatter on the spot and turn to dust.

However, Qin Feng stood there, his body unmoving, not even the corner of his robe fluttering.

He didn't even glance at the enraged Chi Jingzi, merely turning his gaze to Taiyi Zhenren, whose face was pale within the group. The mocking smile on his lips grew even more pronounced.

"Injured someone first?"

Qin Feng suddenly sneered. His voice wasn't loud, but amplified by a mysterious power, it instantly spread through the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, as if announcing to the entire Primordial World.

"Taiyi Zhenren came uninvited, trespassed into my dwelling, and without a word, attempted to forcibly occupy it. Furthermore, relying on his Grand Unity cultivation, he bullied my wife, intending to commit impropriety."

"Is this, by any chance, the way you Kunlun Mountain's Jade Void Palace entertain guests?"

"I merely couldn't stand by and watch. I gave that unfilial disciple, who lacks manners and behaves like a bandit, a slight correction on behalf of Saint Yuanshi. What crime have I committed?"

Qin Feng's voice suddenly rose, each word like a sword, each sentence piercing the heart, transforming into rolling heavenly sounds that interrogated every Golden Immortal present.

"In your Chan Sect's view, are Saint's disciples inherently superior? Can they arbitrarily bully others? You are allowed to bully others with your power, but others are not allowed to defend themselves?!"

The last question, like a solemn bell, boomed out.

The world fell into an eerie silence.

All the Chan Sect Golden Immortals, including the furious Chi Jingzi moments before, were silenced.

They opened their mouths, but found they couldn't refute a single word.

Because everything Qin Feng said was the absolute truth!

They had come without inquiring about right or wrong. Simply because Taiyi was injured and the Chan Sect had lost face, they had mobilized a large force to demand an explanation.

In their deeply ingrained belief system, a Saint's disciple was righteousness!

But now, this veneer of hypocritical "righteousness" was mercilessly torn apart by Qin Feng in front of all the great powers of the Primordial World, revealing its true, overbearing nature underneath!

"This... what a sharp tongue this fellow has!"

In the void, the divine senses of some great powers fluctuated violently.

"More than just a sharp tongue! He's directly seized the moral high ground! He's putting the Chan Sect on the spot!"

"Interesting, so very interesting! The Chan Sect has kicked an ancient divine iron this time!"

In the Northern Darkness Demon Master Palace, Kunpeng stared for a long moment before erupting into even more unrestrained laughter. His laughter caused the entire Northern Sea to churn with colossal waves.

"Well said! Excellently cursed! Hahaha! These hypocritical gentlemen deserve to be cursed like this! I hope they all die of anger on the spot!"

In the Fire Cloud Cave, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan's fighting spirit intensified. He clapped his hands and praised, "Heartening! This person possesses the spirit of our ancient Human Race sages, wielding reason as a sword, capable of repelling ten thousand armies!"

Shen Nong and Fu Xi exchanged glances, seeing deep shock in each other's eyes.

They had expected a one-sided crushing, but never did they imagine that the Chan Sect would be so utterly defeated on grounds of reason in the first encounter.

Seeing his senior and junior brothers rendered speechless, their faces alternately flushing and paling, Yu Ding Zhenren, who was in the formation, slowly stepped forward.

His expression was stern, he held the Immortal Slaying Sword, and his aura was as steady as a mountain. Unlike the agitation of the others, he appeared exceptionally calm.

"Fellow Daoist, your words are mistaken."

Yu Ding Zhenren's voice rang out with an unquestionable authority. "The Investiture of the Gods Calamity is the general trend of the Heavenly Dao. Those who follow Heaven prosper, and those who defy Heaven perish. Fellow Daoist Shi Ji was within the calamity, and this tribulation was destined for her; it is the will of Heaven. We senior and junior brothers are acting on our Master's decree, following the will of Heaven to correct chaos and restore order. Your interference is acting against Heaven. Are you not yet aware of this?"

What a Yu Ding Zhenren!

What a "following the will of Heaven"!

He had directly elevated Taiyi Zhenren's personal misconduct to the level of "Heavenly Dao's general trend," cleverly reframing a personal grievance into a righteous act of acting on behalf of Heaven.

As soon as these words were spoken, the other Golden Immortals snapped back to attention. Their spines straightened again, and their gazes towards Qin Feng regained their judgmental quality.

That's right, we are following the will of Heaven! You are acting against Heaven!

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's expression became incredibly strange.

He was stunned for a moment, then, as if hearing the funniest joke in the world, he couldn't control himself and burst into laughter, looking up at the sky.

"Haha... Hahahaha!"

His laughter grew louder and more unrestrained, causing the clouds in the Nine Heavens to churn incessantly. It also made the faces of the twelve Golden Immortals in the sky grow darker and darker.

"The will of Heaven? What a 'will of Heaven'!"

Qin Feng retracted his laughter, his eyes instantly sharpening like knives, as if they could pierce through everyone's souls.

"Let me ask you, what is destiny?"

"Back then, in the Purple Heaven Palace, Ancestor Hongjun personally said that the Great Dao has three thousand paths, and all beings are welcome. All living creatures in the Primordial World can seek that sliver of hope, and all can seek the Great Dao of eternal life! This is the righteous path of heaven and earth!"

"But what about your Chan Sect?"

Qin Feng pointed his finger at the twelve figures shining golden light in the sky, his voice like ancient, unmelting profound ice, carrying a bone-chilling coldness.

"You constantly say things like 'beasts with fur and horns, creatures born from wetness and eggs,' forcibly dividing all living beings into different classes. Those without profound origins and deep blessings are not worthy of entering your Chan Sect's doors, not worthy of seeking the Great Dao!"

"I ask you again!"

"Is this truly the destiny of heaven, or is it the destiny of your Chan Sect alone?!"

"Can your narrow-minded sectarian views, your arrogant behavior of considering yourselves superior, be worthy of the compassion of Great God Pangu when he opened the heavens and the earth and transformed into all things?"

"Are they worthy of Ancestor Hongjun's grand wish to spread the Dao throughout the world and save all beings?!"

BOOM!

Every question from Qin Feng was like an invisible giant hammer, fiercely striking the hearts of the Twelve Golden Immortals, striking their proud Dao Hearts!

If the first speech tore away the fig leaf of the Chan Sect's overbearing protectiveness, Then this second speech directly targeted the fundamental flaw in the Chan Sect's teachings, negating their "legitimacy" for establishing the sect from the root!

These were words that attacked the heart!

These were words that destroyed the Dao!

"Pfft!"

Huang Long Zhenren, whose cultivation was slightly weaker and whose Dao Heart was already unstable, was the first to be impacted. His mind lost its focus from this speech, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of golden immortal blood, his face turning as pale as paper.

The other Golden Immortals, even those with firm Dao Hearts like Guang Chengzi and Yu Ding Zhenren, had their expressions change drastically, their eyes filled with shock and anger.

Under the impact of these heart-piercing words, their Dao Hearts violently wavered, and the brilliant golden wheel of merit behind their heads dimmed slightly.

Yes... the Ancestor said all beings are welcome.

Why must our Chan Sect distinguish between high and low, noble and base?

Are we truly following the destiny of "heaven"?

Once this thought arose, it was like a demon that grew wildly, almost causing their Dao Hearts to collapse!

"Heretical words to confuse the masses! You... how dare you slander my teachings!"

Guang Chengzi was both shocked and furious, pointing at Qin Feng, his voice changing pitch.

He wanted to refute, but found himself unable to do so!

Because this was a problem that neither their Chan Sect, nor even their master Yuanshi Tianzun, could avoid!

At this moment, all the powerful beings secretly observing in the Primordial World were stunned.

In the Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi's teacup fell to the ground with a "crack," shattering into pieces. He seemed oblivious, staring intently at Skull Mountain, his face full of disbelief.

"Mad... truly mad! This fellow... he dares to publicly interrogate the teachings of a Saint!"

On Mount Sumeru in the Western Teachings, the smile on Zhunti Daoren's face had long since vanished, replaced by unprecedented solemnity.

"Senior Brother, this person... his words are remarkably similar to our Western Teachings!"

Jieyin Daoren's expression of suffering deepened, and he nodded, "This child cannot be underestimated."

Seeing the Twelve Golden Immortals in the sky turn green in the face, their breaths disordered, and their Dao Hearts unstable, the curve of Qin Feng's lips grew even colder.

He knew the time was almost right.

Qin Feng spoke again in a clear voice, this time filled with extreme disdain and mockery, which spread throughout the three realms of the Primordial World.

"The dignified Chan Sect, disciples of a Saint, twelve Grand Unity Golden Immortals, arriving in full force, with imposing momentum, to besiege a mere me!"

"For what reason?"

"Just to stand up for a junior brother whose actions are like those of a wild bandit!"

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Qin Feng shook his head, making a few sounds of unclear clicking, not loud, but like resounding slaps, fiercely striking the faces of the Twelve Golden Immortals.

"If this matter spreads, all beings in the Primordial World, hundreds of millions of living creatures, will only say that your Chan Sect is overbearing and protective, using power to bully others, completely lacking the virtue and demeanor of Saint disciples!"

"Today, at this time, at this place!"

Qin Feng's gaze swept over, like sharp swords, across those faces that had long turned the color of pig liver, and he declared word by word:

"Your Chan Sect's reputation has been, utterly, ruined!"
