When Hearts Scatter

There are six people in the Azure Cloud Sect, that's right!

Although other geniuses from various fields saw it, they had no other opinions.

Because if the Azure Cloud Sect loses the debate, they will have to pay a price.

Zhang Yang deliberately exploited a loophole in the rules he proposed, singled him out, and called on one more person from the Azure Cloud Sect.

Lose?

If he loses, he'll have to return those Law Treasures!

If it weren't for the blatant breaking of the rules, he would have liked to bring Azure Cloud Sect disciples in.

"Can we begin?" Shangguan Feng'er asked.

"Wait a minute," Zhang Yang said hastily. "How can our debate be without witnesses? How can it be without onlookers?"

How about we each bring three onlookers?

Moreover, this discourse can only be heard by those who participate and bystanders; others cannot access its content.

Geniuses from all walks of life, all with dark expressions.

How could they not see what Zhang Yang was up to?

Isn't the goal simply to allow more Azure Cloud Sect disciples to observe this debate?

But will they refuse?

Although they found Zhang Yang's behavior shameless, they were also very clear that this was a good opportunity to win over their forces.

Because of this intellectual debate, everyone would certainly be very willing to watch.

In fact, everyone around thought the same thing.

Now Zhang Yang actually wants to prevent others from watching his philosophical discussions?

How is that possible?

However, no one knows who can participate, so no one has announced it yet.

"I agree!" the Demon Realm all said.

How could they disagree? How dare they disagree?

The Demon Race also agreed.

Zhang Yang has already helped them, how could they not repay him?

Besides, they didn't really understand the philosophical discussions anyway, so they didn't have high expectations for the process.

With the agreement of all three parties, the Immortal Realm and the Ghost Realm had no choice but to accept it.

Subsequently, they each selected three "followers".

Those chosen followers are deeply grateful to those they follow.

The benefits of this discourse were so great that they had no choice but to express their gratitude, and even the forces behind them had to give thanks.

At this point, those who were not chosen began to lash out.

"That's unfair! Why can't we just sit in on the proceedings?"

"We absolutely must participate!"

But then, something strange happened.

Those who had already secured a spot were now upholding the rules... because they were the beneficiaries.

Unwittingly, the more than ninety geniuses of the Immortal Realm split into two camps... and the same was true for the Ghost Realm and the Demon Realm.

When Zhang Yang saw this, he smiled to himself.

This was another purpose of his organizing the discourse!

Although this alliance of geniuses is loose, they all come from the same place and have a natural basis for forming an alliance.

However, he created a "benefit" out of thin air, forcibly dividing geniuses from all walks of life into two groups!

It's not scarcity that's worrisome, but inequality... Can those who didn't participate in the discussion still sit together with those who are?

If morale is low, the team will be difficult to lead!

In the future, if they want to deal with the Azure Cloud Sect, how can this group possibly reach a consensus?

These people are all representatives of various factions. Once they take over their Lineage's power, won't this kind of conflict continue...?

How many people can recover from such a contradiction?

"They created resources out of thin air, even though they had none!"

Zhang Changshan, standing beside him, looked at Zhang Yang with boundless admiration; Zhang Yang's understanding of resources had reached a new level.

Although geniuses from all walks of life opposed it, their opposition was ineffective.

Since Lin Songzhi and Shangguan Feng'er have already participated, they must protect their interests; the same applies to the Ghost Realm and the Demon Realm, they must also protect their interests.

On the contrary, the Azure Cloud Sect had no other complaints.

Because they all knew that their Eldest Senior Brother's arrangements must be very reasonable.

Besides, they get all the benefits, so what could they possibly want?

Half of the geniuses from the Immortal Realm, Ghost Realm, and Devil Race left on the spot after realizing they could not remain bystanders.

"Since we can't just stand by and watch, let's not waste any more time. Why don't we go see if there are any rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures? We can find as many as possible!"

"Let's go find heavenly materials and earthly treasures!"

"Let's go too!"

Those who did not participate in the discussion left one after another, each with a perfectly fitting excuse that no one could stop them from doing so.

People's hearts have fallen apart!

Some geniuses saw that people's hearts had fallen apart and understood the situation, but it was too late to salvage it. Even if they didn't participate in the debate and instead brought everyone back to observe, they still couldn't win back people's hearts.

Human nature is so strange!

Some geniuses, however, hadn't realized what was happening and genuinely believed that the group had gone to find heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

"Fellow Daoist, you have impressive skills!" Gu Qingcheng said, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Zhang Yang. "I'm starting to become interested in you."

Zhang Yang waved his hand and said, "Since there are no other onlookers, we don't need to set up any restrictions for our discussion. Let's begin!"

The other geniuses from various realms were speechless when they saw the Azure Cloud Sect disciples and Demon Race clansmen who had not left.

Can you please stop being so shameless?

Can't we be a little more reasonable?

"No!" Lin Songzhi refused outright. "Now that the rules are in place, of course we must abide by them. Let's set up the restrictions together and begin our discussion!"

Zhang Yang reached out and took out the spirit medicine and materials he had snatched from the various geniuses, saying with a smile, "I was a little rude to you all a while ago. Here, here, I'll return them to you!"

How many people were there?

He returned one piece of material to each person, and he still has countless materials left!

The other geniuses, upon seeing the materials and spirit medicine Zhang Yang offered, revealed masks of anguish.

If they don't agree, the spirit medicine and ingredients are indeed tempting; if they do agree... their people have all fled in anger, and the entire discussion has benefited the Azure Cloud Sect!

"Your Highness, I've decided. From now on, I'll stay by your side and serve you," the witch Ni Ni said with a charming smile. "Whatever Your Highness requests, I will grant it!"

With such terrifying methods, a noble status, and the inheritance of the Creation Spirit Hall... the witch didn't care about anything else.

"Your Highness, you can't show favoritism. I've decided to follow you too!" the witch Shan Qing said resolutely.

The other geniuses were speechless. Could you guys please tone it down a bit?

Lin Songzhi took a deep breath and said, "Fellow Daoist, what exactly do you want to do? Why don't you just say it all at once? Should we still begin this discussion of the Dao?"

"Begin! Of course, begin!" Zhang Yang said solemnly, waving his hand at the two witches. "Sit down, let's begin!"

The rules for discussing the Dao are simple: we take turns sending people to demonstrate our understanding of the Great Dao and to showcase the profound Supreme Lore we have gained.

After everyone has finished their presentations, we need some time to comprehend the Supreme Lore and Great Dao principles of the other parties, and to develop our own Supreme Lore.

One point is added for successfully comprehending the power of one's own Supreme Lore; one point is deducted for failing to comprehend the power of Supreme Lore.

In the end, the winner is determined by the total score.

All Law Treasures of those who participated in the debate will be returned to the group whose scores surpass those of our Azure Cloud Sect.

If our Azure Cloud Sect ranks last in points, then we will grant your request. Do you understand the rules of the Dao Debate? Do you have any other objections?"

Everyone slowly shook their heads, offering no further objections.

They all understood what Zhang Yang meant; this was a true test of comprehension and accumulated knowledge.

Such discussions are of great benefit to all geniuses, as they can broaden their thinking.

Now, they are truly beginning to accept Zhang Yang's theory.

After everyone agreed, Zhang Yang said, "Since I proposed this discussion, I'll go first!"

You all witnessed my "Domain-Breaking Strike just now, so let me explain my thought process.

I have discovered that everything in the universe operates according to its own rhythm.

This rhythm is what we often refer to as the Dao Rhyme "!

When the discussion began and everyone became serious, the other geniuses stopped worrying about the minor details.

Of course, no restrictions were set up for the discussion venue.

Those geniuses from the Immortal Realm, Ghost Realm, and Demon Realm who left can only be described as having too narrow-mindedness; they were destined to gain nothing.

Of course, if they all stayed, Zhang Yang might have a different approach.

Zhang Yang continued, "Our Primordial Spirit also possesses the Dao Rhyme."

If we can discover this Daoist rhythm and resonate with it, we can use the Daoist rhythm of our primordial spirit to cause the collapse of the Daoist rhythm of other primordial spirits.

This is my ' Domain-Breaking Strike.

Fellow Daoists, what do you think?
