The Buddhist Sect has issued a declaration of war.
Seven days later.
In the Western Region, in Study.
This refers to the power established by Ning Chenxin.
A Buddhist Sect disciple will fight against Ning Chenxin!
This does not include betting.
However, once Ning Chenxin loses...
This will undoubtedly deal a serious blow to the newly established Study!
In contrast.
If Ning Chenxin wins.
That would cause a huge blow to the reputation of the Buddhist Sect.
At the same time, the establishment of the Study will become extremely smooth.
However, once refused...
The reputation of the Study will also be affected.
A newly established power cannot withstand such a blow to its reputation.
This is a challenge.
Ning Chenxin had no choice but to accept it.
There's no need to refuse!
Immediately.
A reply was sent back to the Buddhist Sect under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The content is...
Study Ning Chenxin.
Accept the doctrine!
Although I had already guessed this outcome.
It's still surprising!
The debate between Buddhism and Confucianism has not been seen for ten thousand years.
After all, that war took place in High Antiquity times.
The orthodox Confucian Dao and Daoism suffered a devastating blow.
Today, only the Hidden Dao Academy has Confucian Academy.
Unfortunately, it lacks sufficient foundation.
It's always been lukewarm at best.
Only Buddhist Sect has continued from High Antiquity times to the present day.
It gained countless believers.
Spanning the Wilderness Realm!
Western Region.
The Study is located on Crane Cry Mountain.
This place is where Confucian Dao flourished.
It is also the former site of Confucian Temple.
Now, Ning Chenxin sits cross-legged on the Crane Cry Mountain, with a low table in front of her.
On the low table, there was a pot of steaming hot tea, and wisps of tea aroma flowed out from the spout.
Rows of lush green Willow Tree sway in the wind.
The sound of willow branches colliding with each other.
It made a rustling sound.
The gentle sunlight filtered through the slender, narrow willow leaves, falling upon Ning Chenxin.
It formed patches of golden light.
At this moment, Ning Chenxin held a book in her hand that was not quite complete, muttering to herself as her fingers occasionally turned the pages.
Beside it were rows and rows of books.
These are all books left behind by Confucian Temple.
Although it has been eroded by tens of thousands of years, it is already badly damaged.
However, with Ning Chenxin's repairs, it was barely passable.
Over the course of seven days.
Numerous forces have arrived at Crane Cry Mountain.
I want to witness this debate between Buddhism and Confucianism.
On one side is the Buddhist Sect sect, a major religion with countless followers.
On the other hand, there are the long-declining Confucian Dao and Daoist teachings.
However, Ning Chenxin has another identity.
That is, the disciples of Cottage.
He is Lu Changsheng's disciple.
Today, the most prominent place on this continent is the Cottage.
Therefore, Buddhist Sect seeks to challenge the Ning Chenxin Study.
It appears to be merely a dispute over the orthodox teachings of Buddhism and Confucianism.
In fact.
However, it was the Buddhist Sect that began to challenge the Cottage!
They wanted to see how Ning Chenxin would respond.
I also want to see what the difference is between Ning Chenxin and that peerless genius of the Buddhist Sect, the Buddhist disciple.
Various forces established temporary bases at the foot of Crane Cry Mountain.
Some powerful figures want to move up the mountain.
However, Ning Chenxin rejected him.
"Everything can wait until the battle begins before you all go up the mountain."
No one was angry.
They all nodded.
Quietly await the discussion that follows.
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
It passed by in the blink of an eye.
All forces looked up at the Crane Cry Mountain.
There, Ning Chenxin sat cross-legged in front of the low table, just as she always had.
The tea was still boiling, and he was still holding a book.
The only difference is the number of pages.
There seemed to be no tension whatsoever before the impending battle.
His face appeared calm and composed.
Are you confident of victory?
It was nearing noon.
This is when the sun is at its strongest.
To the west, streaks of golden light, seemingly obscuring the blinding rays of sunlight, swept towards the direction of Crane Cry Mountain.
The atmosphere was dominated by Buddhist Dao influences.
An illusory image of Asura was guarding him.
A golden-light Bodhisattva is seen reciting Buddhist scriptures within.
There was also a Maitreya Buddha statue, holding prayer beads, with a harmless smile on its face.
Three extraordinary phenomena appeared simultaneously in the Buddhist Sect!
This also represents the supreme Dharma of the three Buddhist Sect of Buddhism.
And beneath these three strange phenomena...
The sects originally thought that all the Buddhist Sect had come out.
However, when they saw that beneath the three strange phenomena, there was only a thin human figure.
I was slightly taken aback.
Only one person?
How could one person trigger three extraordinary phenomena in the Buddhist Sect?
Is this the Buddhist Sect disciple of today, hailed as an unparalleled genius who has transcended the world...?
When those sects and forces turned their attention back to Ning Chenxin.
I'm starting to feel uncertain.
Even if Ning Chenxin is a disciple of the Cottage.
The realms of Confucian Dao are quite profound.
But can they truly win against such a peerless prodigy?
I'm afraid... it's very difficult.
At this moment, Ning Chenxin also put down the book in her hand, raised her eyebrows, and calmly watched the man walking in the golden light.
The man was seen making a mudra with one hand as he stepped into the sky above Crane Cry Mountain.
He then asked directly, "What is the Dao?"
There was no fancy opening.
There was no preamble or explanation.
The Buddhist disciple chose to begin discussing the Dharma directly!
What is the Tao?
Three simple words.
But that's the hardest question to answer.
Everyone looked at Ning Chenxin sitting at the low table.
I'd like to hear his answer.
Ning Chenxin's lips curved slightly into a smile.
What is the Tao?
It's a very broad topic.
Ning Chenxin stood up and said softly, "There is something undifferentiated, existing before heaven and earth; this is the Dao."
As soon as he spoke, streams of Dao Intent swirled around Ning Chenxin!
It formed a balance of power with the overwhelming Buddha light!
"The ultimate truth is profound and boundless, encompassing both emptiness and existence; its principle is extremely mysterious and profound."
"Every flower and every blade of grass embodies the Way."
Ning Chenxin bent down, pinched out a handful of soil, and said softly, "Both wood and soil are part of the Dao."
"All things in the world are governed by the Tao."
The Buddhist disciple nodded slightly. He naturally did not believe that his first question would be enough to defeat Ning Chenxin.
He took another step forward.
That overwhelming Buddhist light shone upon the Dao Intent.
It's as if it's eroding and taking over!
"Then, since everything is the Tao, what is the difference between Buddhism and Confucianism?"
Why then do you establish Study to spread Confucian Dao?
Why not join forces with the Buddhist Sect to promote the great path of the Buddhist Sect?
yes.
Everything is the Tao.
What are the differences between Confucian Dao and Buddhist Dao, and Buddhism and Daoism?
Ning Chenxin did not pause.
Words Become Law.
"Firstly, everything can be considered a Dao, but there are fundamental differences between different Daos."
"For example, water and fire, life and death, are inherently two opposing paths."
"Buddhism and Confucianism naturally have differences."
The Buddhist disciple countered, "What's the difference?"
Ning Chenxin to himself, "The Dao speaks of inheritance. Those who inherit virtue will have their descendants blessed, while those who fail to do so will be condemned."
"If we say that the Buddha views this world as a sea of suffering, advocating liberation and speaking of transcending the world..."
"Therefore, the Dao considers life as the greatest joy of humanity, the greatest virtue of Heaven and Earth, and the present world as a land of bliss."
"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens; I will cultivate myself to become an immortal."
"And what about Buddha? By following the Heavenly Dao, one can become a great Buddha; by defying Heaven, one will be cast into the eighteenth level of hell!"
"Secondly, within the Buddhist Sect, do you really believe there are people who don't use Buddhist Dao ideas to satisfy their own desires?"
