Chapter 249: Confucian And Buddhist Dao Discussion!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Buddhist Sect issued a challenge.

Seven days later, in the Western Region, the Study Room.

It was the faction that Ning Chenxin had established.

The Buddhist Son of Buddha would fight and discuss the Dao with Ning Chenxin!

There was no bet, however, if Ning Chenxin lost…

In that case, this would undoubtedly deal a serious blow to the newly established Study Room!

In contrast, if Ning Chenxin won…

Then, it would cause a huge blow to the reputation of the Buddhist Sect.

At the same time, the establishment of the Study Room would become extremely smooth.

However, once he rejected her, the Study Room’s reputation would also be affected.

A newly established force could not withstand such a blow to its reputation.

Ning Chenxin had to accept this letter of challenge, there was no need to refuse!

Immediately, a reply letter was sent back to the Buddhist Sect under everyone’s watchful eyes.

The content was to accept the Dao discussion!

It was still shocking even though he had already guessed this outcome!

It had been 10,000 years since the battle between Buddhism and Confucianism.

After all, after the ancient battle, the orthodox Confucian Dao had suffered a destructive blow.

Now, only the Hidden Dao Academy had a Confucian Academy.

Unfortunately, the foundation was insufficient and reception had always been lukewarm.

Only the Buddhist Sect had lasted from ancient times until now.

There were countless believers as it spread throughout the Wilderness Region!

The Western Region.

The Study Room was located at Heming Mountain.

This was the birthplace of the Confucian Dao and was also the old site of Confucianism at the same time.

Ning Chenxin was sitting cross-legged on the top of Heming Mountain with a low table in front of him.

There was a pot of boiling hot tea on the low table, and the fragrance of tea flowed out of the pot.

Verdant willow trees swayed in the wind.

The sound of willow branches colliding could be heard.

The warm sunlight shone on Ning Chenxin’s body through the thin and narrow willow leaves.

They formed patches of golden light.

At this moment, Ning Chenxin was holding an incomplete book in his hand. He was mumbling to himself as his fingers flipped through the pages from time to time.

Beside him were books after books of inheritances behind by Confucianism.

Even though they had been corroded by tens of thousands of years and were already extremely damaged, the damages could barely be seen with Ning Chenxin’s repair.

Within seven days, countless factions arrived at Heming Mountain.

He wanted to witness this battle between Buddhism and Confucianism.

On one side was a Buddhist sect with countless believers, on the other side was the declining Confucian Dao Sect.

However, Ning Chenxin had another identity.

He was a disciple of the Cottage disciples, a disciple of Lu Changsheng.

The Cottage was the center of attention on this continent, therefore, the

Buddhist Sect wanted to challenge the Study Room’s Ning Chenxin.

It looked like they were only competing for the right path of Buddhism when in reality, it was the Buddhist Sect wanting to challenge the Cottage!

They wanted to see how Ning Chenxin would react and also wanted to see the gap between Ning Chenxin and the peerless genius of the Buddhist Sect.

Many factions established temporary bases at the foot of Crane Cry Mountain.

Some giant factions wanted to go up the mountain.

However, he was rejected by Ning Chenxin.

“After the battle, everyone can go up the mountain.”

No one was angry.

They all nodded and quietly waited for the Dao discussion.

Seven days passed like white clouds passing through a gap.

In the blink of an eye, it was gone.

All the forces looked up at the top of Crane Cry Mountain.

Over there, Ning Chenxin was still sitting cross-legged in front of the low table as usual.

The tea was still boiling, and he was still holding the book in his hand.

However, the number of pages was different.

It was as if he was not nervous at all before the battle.

He looked calm.

It was almost noon.

At this moment, the sun was at its brightest.

In the west, there were streaks of golden light that actually covered the dazzling sunlight as they attacked in the direction of Crane Cry Mountain.

The aura of Buddhism was overwhelming with an Asura phantom protecting them.

A Golden Light Bodhisattva was chanting Buddhist scriptures.

There was even a Maitreya Buddha holding a Buddhist prayer bead and revealing a harmless smile.

Three Buddhist phenomena appeared at the same time!

This also represented the three supreme Buddhist techniques of the Buddhist Sect.

Originally, those sects thought that the Buddhists had come out in full force seeing these three phenomena.

However, they could not help but be slightly stunned when they saw that there was only a thin figure under the three phenomena.

Only one person?

And this one person could trigger three Buddhist phenomena?

Was this the Buddha who was known as a peerless genius in the current Buddhist Sect…?

When those sects and forces looked at Ning Chenxin again.

He was a little uncertain.

Even if Ning Chenxin was a disciple of the Cottage.

The Confucian Dao realm was rather profound.

However, could he really win against such a peerless genius?

‘I’m afraid… it will be very difficult.’

At this moment, Ning Chenxin put down the book in his hand. He raised his eyebrows and calmly watched the man in the golden light walk over.

The man formed a Buddhist seal with one hand. When he stepped into the sky above Heming Mountain,

He directly said, “What is Dao?”

There was no fancy opening, no words to pave the way.

The Arhat chose to start the Dao discussion directly!

What is Dao?

Three simple words, but it was the hardest to answer.

Everyone looked at Ning Chenxin, who was sitting in front of the low table.

She wanted to hear how he would answer.

The corners of Ning Chenxin’s mouth curled up slightly.

What is Dao?

It was a very broad topic.

Ning Chenxin stood up and said softly, “It is somethings mixed together. Connate and Earth are the Dao.”

As soon as he spoke, waves of Dao Insight circled around Ning Chenxin!

It formed a confrontation with the monstrous Buddhist light!

“The Dao is deep and boundless; the body is empty, and the truth is profound.”

“Every flower and grass is Dao.”

Ning Chenxin bent down and pinched out a handful of soil. He said softly, “One wood and one earth are both Dao.”

“Everything in the world is Dao.”

The Arhat nodded slightly. He naturally did not think that his first question could defeat Ning Chenxin.

He took another step forward.

The monstrous Buddhist light sprinkled on the will of the Way.

It was as if it was corroding and occupying!

“Then, since everything is Dao, what’s the difference between Buddhism and Confucianism?”

“Why did you build Study Room and spread the Confucian Dao?”

“Why don’t you develop the Great Dao of the Buddhist Sect with our Buddhist Sect?”

Right, everything was Dao.

What was the difference between Confucian Dao and Buddhism?

Ning Chenxin did not stop.

His words carried the law.

“First of all, everything is Dao, but there is an essential difference between Dao and Dao.”

“For example, water and fire, life and death, are two opposing Great Dao.”

“There’s naturally a difference between Buddhism and Confucianism.”

The Arhat asked, “What’s the difference?”

Ning Chenxin said, “Daoism talks about making commitments. Those who make commitments will accumulate virtue and cover their descendants. On the contrary, their descendants will be condemned.”

“If Buddha treats the present world as a sea of bitterness, he advocates separating from it and talking about being born.”

“In that case, the Dao is the joy of life. The great virtue of the world is to use the present world as a paradise.”

“My life depends on me not being in the sky. I’ll become an immortal through cultivation.”

“Where’s the Buddha? If you follow the Heavenly Dao, you can become a great Buddha. If you defy the heavens, you will be sent to the eighteenth level of hell!”

“Secondly, do you really think there are people in the Buddhist Sect who don’t use Buddhist thoughts to satisfy their desires?”
