Lu Changsheng was silent.

He fell into deep thought.

Who is it that's praising me again?

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother!"

Just then, Liu Qingfeng hurriedly ran over, his face full of smiles.

In an instant, Lu Changsheng suddenly understood.

"Qingfeng! Is it you who spread some words outside again?"

Lu Changsheng looked at Liu Qingfeng.

The latter shook his head instantly and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, do you think Junior Brother is the kind of person who is talkative?"

Liu Qingfeng denied it with a serious face.

However, the more Liu Qingfeng was like this, the more Lu Changsheng felt that this guy must be saying something outside.

But now he couldn't blame Liu Qingfeng, otherwise, wouldn't it seem that he was timid before the battle?

Rubbing his temples, Lu Changsheng felt a little anxious.

Actually, losing wasn't shameful, mainly because this Dao-Buddhist Dispute had too much influence. If he lost, the entire Daoist school would lose face.

Invisibly, he was carrying a big black pot.

Taking a deep breath.

For some reason, Lu Changsheng calmed down a lot.

Perhaps, this was the state of mind of a person about to die.

"Eldest Senior Brother? Are you afraid?"

Liu Qingfeng asked, as if he had noticed something.

"Do you think Senior Brother would be afraid?"

Lu Changsheng picked up a cup of tea, appearing very calm. Since it was a foregone conclusion, there was nothing to be afraid of.

After all, he was going to die anyway, so he might as well relax.

It was like being bitten by a poisonous snake. Instead of struggling in pain, it was better to find a cool place to avoid stinking to others.

"Of course not, Senior Brother is a celestial being descended to earth, what is a mere Dharma Master? Junior Brother is here to congratulate Senior Brother in advance for winning glory for our Daoist school."

Liu Qingfeng instantly showed joy.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel extremely ashamed, feeling that he had underestimated Lu Changsheng.

"Then Junior Brother won't disturb Senior Brother's meditation here."

After Liu Qingfeng kowtowed, he left the hall.

Soon, in the main hall, only Lu Changsheng was left.

"Should I, perhaps, bring out the Tao Te Ching at that time?"

After Liu Qingfeng left, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but think to himself.

During the previous Da Luo Grand Ceremony, he spoke so many classic quotes, attracting celestial phenomena. Though he realized it belatedly, Lu Changsheng understood.

Some of the things he learned on Earth, when placed in this world, could also shine brilliantly.

For example, the Tao Te Ching, in his previous life, was an supreme scripture of Taoism. It was just that Earth didn't embark on the path of cultivation, so the Tao Te Ching didn't have a huge influence.

But this world is different.

It is a world of immortals and heroes, the path of cultivation, magnificent and full of wonders.

The Tao Te Ching, in this world, should be able to shine brightly. More importantly, whatever he does, it will attract celestial phenomena.

Reciting the Tao Te Ching will naturally attract celestial phenomena.

At that time, with a bit of deception, even if he loses, it won't be too bad, right?

This was Lu Changsheng's thought.

But Lu Changsheng believed even more that if he really recited the Tao Te Ching, he would definitely not lose. This is an supreme Taoist scripture.

Naturally, it is extraordinary.

The only worry is, will reciting such scriptures cause other unknown consequences?

After thinking about it, Lu Changsheng shook his head. He will take it one step at a time. When that day comes, if it really doesn't work, he will bring out the Tao Te Ching.

If the Tao Te Ching is too powerful, then he will use the Huangting Jing. If the Huangting Jing doesn't work, then the Nanhua Zhenjing, the Yuhuang Jing, and the Chongxu Zhenjing.

Lu Changsheng doesn't believe that with so many scriptures, he can't out-argue a Dharma Master?

At this moment.

Great Luo Palace.

Liu Qingfeng arrived in the hall.

The Great Luo high-level members gathered here.

"Greetings, Sect Leader, greetings to all my uncles."

Liu Qingfeng was very honest, looking harmless and extremely handsome.

"No need for formalities. You went to find Changsheng just now, did you find out any news?"

Qingyun Daoist opened his mouth and asked.

"Reporting to Sect Leader, this disciple went to the Main Peak just now to ask Senior Brother about his views on Xuanxin Dharma Master, and even boldly asked if Senior Brother was afraid of Xuanxin Dharma Master."

"However, Senior Brother looked at this junior brother with unparalleled confidence, only saying one sentence, 'Do you think Senior Brother is afraid?'"

"This disciple thinks that Eldest Senior Brother is an immortal descended to earth, a peerless genius in the world of cultivation. The Buddhist school has produced a Xuanxin, but my Daoist school has also produced a Changsheng Senior Brother. We will definitely win this battle for the Daoist school."

Liu Qingfeng rarely fabricated anything.

Speaking truthfully.

As his voice fell.

Instantly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since that's the case, that's good. Go back and cultivate well. Remember, during this period, don't let anyone disturb your Eldest Senior Brother's cultivation, lest something goes wrong at a critical moment, understand?"

Qingyun Sect Leader spoke.

Liu Qingfeng nodded heavily, and then withdrew from the hall.

Soon, the atmosphere within the Great Luo Palace became extremely solemn.

The usual banter and scolding were gone, replaced by a chilling seriousness.

"This time, the Buddhist Sect has made up its mind to send Xuanxin to the Central Continent to debate with the Daoists and discuss the Dharma with all the Daoist sects in the world, all in order to promote Buddhism in our Central Continent. Although we have Lu Changsheng, nothing is absolute. What if Changsheng loses? What should we do?"

Qingyun Sect Leader spoke, extremely serious.

"Changsheng Martial Nephew will not lose."

An elder spoke, establishing confidence with one sentence.

"Yes, Changsheng will not lose."

"That's right, Changsheng cannot lose."

"I have seen countless people, and Changsheng is too extraordinary. Not to mention Xuanxin, even if a Buddhist monk comes, he cannot compare to Changsheng."

For some reason, the Great Luo higher-ups unanimously believed that Lu Changsheng could win. This confidence seemed inexplicable, but in reality, it was because Lu Changsheng's appearance was simply too good.

"I also believe that Changsheng will not lose, but what if he does?"

Qingyun Sect Leader looked at everyone and said this.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

After a while, someone answered.

"If we really lose, even if it means losing face, we cannot allow the Buddhist Sect to promote Buddhism in our Central Continent."

"Yes, this battle can never be reversed by a mere Xuanxin. If we lose, we lose. Even if we are scolded by the world, we will never allow the Buddhist Sect to invade."

"Our Daoist sect cultivates the supreme heart, while the Buddhist sect cultivates rewards in the afterlife. If the Buddhist sect enters our Central Continent, it will only take a thousand years for them to gain a foothold in our Central Continent. This is absolutely impossible."

Everyone's attitude was very firm.

From any perspective, they did not want the Buddhist Sect to appear in the Central Continent.

"Since that's the case, then all of you fellow brothers, be prepared for a bloody battle. Once Changsheng is defeated, the Central Continent will be completely changed. The Buddhist Sect's attitude is firm, but I have also discussed with other Holy Lords, and their ideas are the same."

"If we lose, prepare to welcome a bloody battle. If we win, everything will be easy to talk about."

Qingyun Sect Leader said with utmost seriousness.

"We respectfully obey the Sect Leader's decree."

Everyone stood up together, none of them fearful, and none of them retreating.

And so it was.

Time passed bit by bit.

Three days later, the Supreme Beginning Holy Land was defeated.

Five days later, the Yin Yang Holy Land was defeated.

Six days later, the Exquisite Holy Land was defeated.

Finally, time came to the seventh day, Zi Time.
