Universal Peace Temple is not located in the bustling city center, but rather in a rather quiet place outside the city.
It's not too far from the city center, but it takes a bit of walking.
When Su Mu arrived at the temple, he found it to be a place of great religious activity, with golden Buddha statues carved on the surrounding gates, giving it an extraordinary and solemn appearance.
At this time, even more believers arrived, their faces filled with joy.
"Tsk, this Water and Land Dharma Assembly is truly grand. I heard even the bald monk Huizhi is here."
The other party mentioned that Huizhi was Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator who had cultivated Buddhism to an extremely profound level.
"Indeed, besides this Huizhi monk Huizhi, there are also more than 10,000 novice monks and 3,000 nuns."
Another man dressed in red, with a sinister look on his face, chuckled softly upon hearing this.
It's quite remarkable that a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Great Late Stage Water and Land Dharma Assembly.
However, this Water and Land Dharma Assembly is extremely important to Buddhism.
Putting everything else aside, if the Water and Land Dharma Assembly successful, it can attract many believers and accumulate merit.
However, given its importance, their presence here is naturally also important.
Their reputation would naturally rise if they could disrupt this Water and Land Dharma Assembly.
How can one become a demon prince without any prestige?
Besides, they were the ones who spread the word, hoping these bald monks would send more experts.
Otherwise, the bald monk presiding over the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, whose most powerful member is only at the Core Formation Stage or the Nascent Soul Early Stage, would be wasting all his efforts.
The righteous Holy Son had previously led a team of three Core Formation Cultivator to annihilate Nascent Soul Early Stage Devil Cultivator.
That holy son himself was only at the Core Formation Stage, so how difficult would it be for him to challenge someone of a higher level? Yet the other party had done it!
Therefore, they need to use cultivators at the Nascent Soul Late Stage to outdo their opponents!
Only then can one ascend to the position of Demon Prince, right?
"Then we'll see who can break through this bald monk's Buddhist teachings, based on their own abilities!"
At this moment, the Devil Cultivator exchanged glances and spoke one after another.
They were all geniuses from various Demonic Sect, who came here to break through the Buddhist teachings of Huizhi.
It's not that I want to do what the Holy Son did and strangle this guy.
If that's really the case, then it only shows how arrogant they are.
Moreover, with so many Devil Cultivator working together, it will be difficult to determine whose credit it is if they succeed.
But if you can clearly explain the other person's Buddhist teachings, then it's different. You don't need to confront them directly; you can just discuss Zen directly.
Monks cultivate themselves primarily through Buddhist teachings, seeking enlightenment. If they fail in a Zen debate, it can cause great mental turmoil, leading to the collapse of Buddhist doctrines.
But a great monk who has cultivated to the Nascent Soul Late Stage possesses unfathomable Buddhist teachings; how could they be so easily defeated?
However, once broken, it would prove that their Demonic Dao is far superior to the Buddhist path.
Alternatively, everyone can take turns trying this method and see who succeeds.
With so many Devil Cultivator geniuses gathered here, and experts secretly protecting them, there's no need to worry about that old bald monk suddenly attacking and hurting people.
This plan was quite safe.
The Devil Cultivator, all geniuses, whispered amongst themselves at this moment.
"Alright, it's almost time, I'm going now!"
The Water and Land Dharma Assembly already begun in the distance, and at this moment, a kind-looking monk sat upright on a high platform, ready to begin preaching the Dharma.
" Luo Li, a disciple of the Mara Sect, has come to seek instruction in Buddhist teachings from the Venerable Abbot!"
Luo Li, dressed in a black top and a red bottom, suddenly shouted, startling the group of believers below.
After standing up, Luo Li smiled and said, "If you ask me, why do you people believe in Buddhism? Wouldn't it be better to join my Demonic Sect and live a free and happy life?"
Luo Li's voice carried Devil Cultivation Method, and all who heard it were filled with longing, clearly bewitched.
"Amitabha!"
Huizhi, atop the high platform, chanted Buddhist mantras, and a large bell beside him rang out, completely shattering Luo Li's Devil Cultivation Method.
The believers below the stage immediately came to their senses, and upon realizing what they had just witnessed, they broke out in a cold sweat.
They almost fell into the Demonic Dao!
"So it's the genius Luo Li from the Mara Sect."
Huizhi lowered his eyelids; he naturally already knew the intentions of these Devil Cultivator, but he didn't take it to heart.
A mere few Devil Cultivator dare to try and break his Buddhist power and disturb his Buddhist mind?
If it weren't for the other powerful members of the Demonic Sect Cult protecting these people, he would probably have already sent these guys to the afterlife by now!
However, he had no choice but to come; otherwise, this place would have been slaughtered by the enemy.
"Bald monk, enough nonsense. I heard that you carried a woman all the way on Liupu Mountain. It is said that monks should not be close to women, but you, old bald monk, have broken the precept."
Upon hearing this, everyone around gasped.
"Good heavens, how did this guy find out about this?"
The other Devil Cultivator standing nearby were all uneasy; it was over, they feared this guy was going to succeed.
Once this is confirmed, it will be like a nail driven deep into Huizhi's heart, and at that time, this bald monk's Buddhist heart will be in turmoil.
If the mind of a Buddha is disturbed, the power of the Buddha's teachings will be greatly diminished.
"Amitabha, this humble monk has already let go of that woman."
Just as everyone was watching Huizhi nervously, Huizhi put his hands together and said something.
Is this even allowed?
Everyone stared intently at Huizhi, and seeing that his breathing was steady and without the slightest fluctuation, they immediately understood.
The other party was not affected in the slightest.
This is the same as discussing the Dao; once a flaw appears in one's Daoist heart, it is easy to see through at a glance.
"I'll do it!"
Seeing Luo Li defeated, another Devil Cultivator immediately stepped forward, "Old bald monk, I want to discuss Zen with you!"
The Devil Cultivator who came were disciples of the Compassionate Ferry Sect.
The name of this Demonic Sect is quite interesting. The Devil Cultivator who founded it were mortal enemies of the Buddhist Sect, hence the name.
They want to disgust Buddhist Sect for generations to come.
It must be said, they really did achieve that.
It's quite ironic that a Demonic Sect would choose such a benevolent name.
"Monks are free from all six attachments, all sentient beings are empty, they have no desires or wants, no victory or defeat."
Upon hearing this, Huizhi didn't even raise his head; with just one sentence, all the Devil Cultivator changed instantly.
They were both geniuses; how could they not understand the meaning behind the other person's words?
You try to discuss Zen with the other person, but you shatter their Buddhist mind, while they simply say that all of this is empty, and winning or losing is all meaningless.
Monks really do pay attention to this, so how do you break their Buddhist heart?
With just that one sentence, no one else can even think about debating Zen with the other. Even if you win, it won't affect the other person at all.
Upon hearing this, the nuns brought by Huizhi showed joy on their faces and began to chant Buddhist mantras in a low voice.
The Devil Cultivator exchanged glances, their faces filled with frustration.
That's it. As expected of a monk in the Nascent Soul Great Late Stage, this level of Buddhist compassion is truly beyond their ability to break.
However, just as everyone was feeling frustrated, a voice slowly emanated from the distant Mahavira Hall, overwhelming all other voices present.
"I have knelt before the Buddha for three thousand years, yet the Buddha has shown me no compassion. My eyes are obscured by dust, for I have not donated incense money."
The sound slowly emerged, then suddenly amplified.
Each word struck a heavy blow to everyone's chest.
And when the chanting was finished, cracks began to slowly appear on the golden statue of the Buddha.
Huizhi, who had been sitting regally on the high platform, turned her head in shock at this moment, exclaiming, "Who is it?!"
