At this moment, many disputes had arisen in the vast land of the Divine Land.
The target was Xuanmen Tianzong and Lin Feng's direct disciples, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi, Wang Lin, and Shi Tianhao.
It was rumored that the four of them had shaken the foundation of the Dao of Karma, which was why Monk Dade and Monk Daning, who were at the second level of the Golden Body Realm, had their zen hearts damaged and were on the verge of shattering.
Rumor had it that the four of them had shaken the foundation of the Dao of Karma, which was why Zen Master Dade and Zen Master Daning, who were at the second level of the Golden Body Realm, had their zen hearts damaged and were on the verge of shattering.
Decades after the destruction of the Great Thunderclap Monastery, this former sacred ground had once again become the focus of the Divine Land.
To many disciples of the younger generation, the Great Thunderclap Monastery had already become a historical term and didn't have much practical meaning.
No matter how glorious it had been, it had declined. If it was destroyed, it was destroyed.
But to the experts with higher realms and the older generation of cultivators, the Great Thunderclap Monastery was a huge existence that couldn't be underestimated in the history of the human cultivation world in the Divine Land.
If it hadn't been heavily damaged by Youhuang Heavenly Sea in the war between the two worlds 4,600 years ago, this sacred ground of the Buddhist Sect might still be standing in the divine land today, worshipped by tens of thousands of families.
Although the number one sacred ground in the Divine Land was the Taixu Temple, that was relative to the world of cultivators. In the mortal world, the number of believers of the Buddhist Sect had been the largest for a long time.
Although the number one sacred ground in the Divine Land was the Taixu Temple, that was relative to the world of cultivators. In the mortal world, the number of believers of the Buddhist Sect had been the largest for a long time.
The Dao of Karma was also recognized by the Divine Land as a top-notch Great Dao.
However, this path was also publicly acknowledged to be too difficult and no one would be able to transcend it.
Even if the records of the Buddhist Sect recorded that the Buddha had reached the state of omniscience in the past, present, and future, those who understood the situation knew that it was an exaggeration.
However, although the Taixu Temple and other powerful forces had their own orthodoxies and there had been Buddhist and Daoist discussions in history, they had never truly touched the foundation of the Dao of Karma.
Regardless of whether it was the Youhuang Celestial Sea severing the karmic luck of the Buddhist Path back then or the Buddhist Annihilation War back then, what was destroyed were people and things, not the dao of the Buddhist Path.
Now that there was suddenly news that the Xuanmen Tianzong disciple had shaken the foundation of the Dao of Karma, and had even broken the zen heart of two Golden Body 2nd Level Buddhist monks, the entire Divine Land couldn't help but be in an uproar.
There were those who were frightened, and there were those who were doubtful. There were all sorts of situations.
Some people thought that it was just a rumor and the news was not true. Some people thought that it was actually the sect master of the Celestial Sect, Lin Feng, who had found a loophole in the Dao of Karma. In order to cherish his reputation, he pretended to be a disciple to test the reaction of the outside world.
Not long after, another piece of news spread throughout the world. A Buddhist disciple appeared and made a special trip to Kunlun Mountain.
Ever since the Battle of Annihilation of Buddhism, the Great Leiyin Temple had been destroyed. Although many monks had escaped, most of them had met with misfortune, especially the Buddhist disciples with lower cultivation bases. Nowadays, there were not many of them in the Divine Land.
Some of them hid in the medium-class world or the foreign space to move around, while others hid their names and lived in seclusion.
But this time, there were many Buddhist disciples with lower cultivation bases who walked out of their seclusion and headed to Kunlun Mountain.
They did not want to submit to Xuanmen Tianzong. On the contrary, they wanted to discuss the Dao with Xuanmen Tianzong, Wang Lin and the rest, to defend their own Buddhist principles.
To the human cultivation world in the Divine Land, although this matter had caused a huge uproar, they had not experienced it personally.
But to many Buddhist monks, the meaning of the Karma Dao discussion this time, from a certain point of view, was no different from another Battle of Annihilation of Buddhism.
Without the temple, with Buddha in their hearts, everywhere was cultivation. To the monks of the Great Leiyin Temple who were powerless to resist the allied forces to annihilate Buddhism in the past, there was still one last hope in their hearts.
If they cultivated diligently, they would finally have the hope of ushering in the End of Dharma and the return of the golden age.
However, what happened this time had shaken their final perseverance. This caused many Buddhist monks to fall into a state of confusion. It also prompted them to head to Kunlun Mountain to argue with the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
Among these monks, there were Yuanying cultivators, Golden Elixir Period cultivators, Foundation Establishment cultivators, and even old monks who were still in the Qi Refinement Stage.
Compared to some small and medium-sized forces, their strength was still huge, but compared to the big forces, they were already very weak, not to mention compared to a new holy land like Xuanmen Tianzong.
But this group of monks still spontaneously advanced towards Kunlun Mountain, as if they were on a pilgrimage, and as if they were martyrs.
Many of their fellow disciples who had not heard from or seen each other since the destruction of the Great Leiyin Temple finally met again on this day in Kunlun Mountain.
Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, Martial Uncles and Martial Nephews, Grand Martial Uncles and Grand Martial Nephews, and even Master and Disciple.
After meeting each other, they did not greet each other. They only put their palms together and bowed. Then, they walked side by side and silently continued their journey.
Maybe it was because of other considerations, or because they were concerned about the content of the Karma Path that Xuanmen Tianzong discussed, or because they were sentimental about the beliefs of the monks, the forces in the Divine Land did not make things difficult for these monks.
Even the forces that participated in the Buddhist Extermination War in the past did not make things difficult for them. Even the Great Zhou Dynasty had adopted an attitude of turning a blind eye to the individual Buddhist remnants that suddenly appeared in their territory and they had been chasing.
Only the monks who submitted to the Great Zhou Dynasty under the protection of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not go to Kunlun Mountain under the restrictions of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But they also fell into a particularly depressed mood. They discussed and began to constantly examine their own Karma Path.
Whether it was the Buddhist disciples of the Great Zhou Dynasty or those who went to Kunlun Mountain, they all firmly believed that the Karma Path was correct, but they were also faintly afraid.
Buddhist Master Dade and Buddhist Master Daning had Qigong Deviation at the same time, and their Zen hearts were damaged. This could no longer be explained by coincidence or personal reasons.
Was there really a loophole in the Karma Path? Was there really a problem?
This thought rose in the hearts of all the Buddhist disciples. They kept erasing it from their bier, but it kept reappearing.
Monk Dakong did not go to Kunlun Mountain to discuss Karma Path, and he also stopped the Buddhist disciples who went with him from going. But he went into seclusion again, and with him came the message from Buddhist Master Daning.
He wanted to find out what exactly Xuanmen Tianzong had discovered, and then find the error in it. He could not go to Kunlun Mountain now, but one day, he must go and clarify with Wang Lin and the others.
In White Cloud Mountain, a woman in green stood at the foot of the mountain. She looked at the group of monks in front of her and said softly, "Master Yuan Xin, are you really going?"
In front of her was a middle-aged monk in the Late Yuanying Realm. Behind him stood a group of monks with high and low cultivations, but they all looked solemn.
The middle-aged monk, whose Dharma name was Yuan Xin, nodded. "This matter involves our Buddhist orthodoxy, so we are duty-bound. We have no choice but to make this trip to see what kind of fallacy the people from the Celestial Sect of Wonders have come up with!"
The monks behind him put their palms together and chanted Buddha's name in a low voice.
Yan Mingyue looked at the disappearing figures of the monks, and there was a hint of worry between her brows. "Eldest Senior Brother, I feel that Xuanmen Tianzong is not speaking without thinking."
A young man appeared next to her. It was Lin Daohan.
Compared to the past, Lin Daohan's facial features and appearance looked ordinary, but he gave people a strange feeling as if he was much more handsome than before.
Moreover, this change seemed to be happening all the time. It was changing every moment, even though the change in a moment was extremely subtle.
"If it's done by the Master of Xuanmen, I believe it's probably true. If it's just his disciples, I can't be sure." Lin Daohan said calmly, "However, the zen hearts of the two eminent monks, Dade and Daning, have been broken. I'm afraid that they have really found a loophole in the Path of Karma. It's just that this loophole itself needs to be verified to see if there's any fallacy."
Yan Mingyue sighed softly. "In the past, our ancestors had also discussed the Path of Karma with the eminent monks of the Tempest Temple. In the end, they all stuck to their own theories and left it unsettled. Now, Xuanmen Tianzong …"
Lin Daohan's eyes flickered slightly. "Actually, after reading the Buddhist scriptures all these years, I have more and more questions about the Path of Karma. However, like the ancestors, the questions are still questions, and there's no substantial progress."
"Based on my personal premonition, this time, it's very likely that this will really be the destruction of Buddhism again."
Slowly, he said, "And for Xuanmen Tianzong, if this matter isn't handled well, the impact will be extraordinarily far-reaching. It's not just a problem for Buddhism."
Yan Mingyue nodded her head: "Today, they can break the Buddhist Dao of Karma, tomorrow, they can also break the orthodoxy of other forces. In the long run, it is very likely that the Celestial Sect of Xuan Men will fall into isolation, and even the forces that are on good terms with them will gradually be separated from them.
"Let's not talk about the fetters that exceed interests and the fear of power. However, this involves the struggle of the Great Dao, which is the foundation of a sect, and it's enough to make other forces fear Xuanmen Tianzong greatly."
In reality, many forces in the Divine Land were actually paying attention to the development of the monks' journey to Kunlun Mountain.
From a rational point of view, they hoped that the final result would be that Xuanmen Tianzong made a big mistake. It didn't matter if Xuanmen Tianzong was embarrassed or not. The key was that their crushing attitude towards other orthodoxies was undeniable and frightening.
The Path of Karma was already one of the top Great Dao truths in the Divine Land. At least in terms of concept, even the Taixu Temple had not been able to shake it after so many years.
In the Imperial Palace of West-Hill City of the Great Qin Dynasty, Monarch Ruyang Shi Zongmao snorted. "It's fine if the Master of Daoist Xuanmen says it himself. Although his disciples are powerful and have amazing combat abilities, they have only cultivated for a few years. How much knowledge and understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth can they casually slander someone else's orthodoxy that has been passed down for ten thousand years?"
Nanming Monarch Shi Zongtang shook his head. "Perhaps it's the Master of Daoist Xuanmen's own idea. However, he cherishes his reputation, so he pretended to use his disciples to leave a way out for himself."
Anliang Monarch Shi Zongyue said hesitantly, "But Buddhist Monk Dade and Buddhist Monk Daning are among the top Buddhist monks in the world. Even they …"
Shi Zongmao said, "Although their cultivation is high, they are only at Golden Body Tier 2. They don't represent the top level of Buddhism! Not to mention that Gautama Buddha is still alive, even if one of the ten disciples of Gautama Buddha were still alive, they would definitely be able to refute Xuanmen Tianzong's fallacy! "
"Not to mention the Great Leiyin Temple from 4,600 years ago, even the Great Leiyin Temple before the War of Extinction of the Laws had Golden Body Tier 3 experts. They would definitely not be able to be so presumptuous."
Jingfang Monarch Shi Lin, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "What if it's the Master of Daoist Xuanmen's advice?"
The hall suddenly fell silent.
