Everyone fell silent at Shi Lin's words.
In fact, deep in their hearts, they were still skeptical about this matter.
After all, for Zen Master Dade and Zen Master Daning's zen hearts to be damaged to the extent that their minds were shaken to the point that even their Tathagata's Dharmakaya was broken, it must have been a rather direct impact and a fundamental denial that could cause such serious consequences.
Even King Rosun Shi Zongmao might have sounded confident, but he might not be so sure about what he was thinking. Otherwise, his emotions would not have fluctuated.
Lin Feng's many amazing feats of turning the impossible into the possible also made everyone's hearts pound.
During the Battle of Shu Mountain back then, Lin Feng pointed out a problem that even the people of Shu Mountain Sword Sect did not realize. In the end, he changed the Great Immortal Heaven Manifestation Sword Formation into the Heaven Punishing Sword Formation, shattering the sword hearts of Shu Mountain sword cultivators from top to bottom.
What happened today was like a reenactment of the past.
Emperor Qin Shi Yu, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne, said slowly, "No matter what, from the current situation, Xuanmen Tianzong's losses outweigh his gains."
The others nodded silently. Xuanmen Tianzong's actions this time had undoubtedly pushed him to the opposite side of Buddhism.
If time went back 10,000 years, the Great Leiyin Monastery might have started a war with Xuanmen Tianzong. Even if they did not really fight, it was inevitable that they would see each other as enemies in the future.
Although Buddhism was weak and the Great Leiyin Monastery no longer existed, Buddhism was not extinct after all. The Five Rulai Sutra of Buddhism was still a top Buddhist cultivation in the Tianyuan Great World.
Not to mention Zen Master Dade, Zen Master Danning, and Zen Master Dakong who were experts at the second level of the Golden Body Realm, during the battle to exterminate Buddhism back then, the last abbot of the Great Thunderclap Monastery and the three Supreme Elders had a total of four experts at the third level of the Golden Body Realm. Three of them had died, but there was still one Supreme Elder, Zen Master Zhi Heng, who had broken out of the encirclement and was stranded outside.
Although the Great Leiyin Monastery was destroyed, it still had some foundation. It was just that it had to keep a low profile because of the environment.
And now that the Xuan Men Sky Sect is rising more and more powerfully, and also because of Lin Feng's kindness to Zen Master Dade and the act of collecting Buddhist scriptures and relics, the other forces of the divine continent are all guessing in their hearts that the remaining forces of the Great Thunder Temple in the past are very likely to gradually join the Xuan Men Sky Sect, so the strength of the Xuan Men Sky Sect is becoming more and more powerful.
But from the looks of it, it was the Celestial Sect of Wonders who had courted death and cut off this path.
Even Zen Master Danning had been persuaded by Zen Master Dade and had the intention to join the Xuan Gate Heavenly Sect. Now it seemed that he had become an enemy.
As for the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of Wonders, Zen Master Dade, who had made a lot of contributions to the sect, was also severely injured. His strength declined, and his future was uncertain.
Not to mention other outside influences, Xuanmen Tianzong's own forces had been damaged.
These were only the losses that could be calculated on the surface. The hidden losses that could not be calculated were even greater.
Zen Master Dade, who had made great contributions to the sect, had his zen heart broken. What would Zhuge Zhan, Miao Shihao, Kang Nanhua, and the others in Xuanmen Tianzong think?
What would the Mahayana grade magic treasures, such as the Bipolar Sky Peak, Xuantian Seal, and Cangtian Dao Jian, think?
How would the other experts in the outside world who wanted to join Xuanmen Tianzong not have doubts?
Maybe everything was just an accident. Xuanmen Tianzong did not want this to happen. But if an accident happened again, who could guarantee that the next unlucky person would not be them?
For the Great Qin Dynasty, even the Purple Sky Dao, the Northern Militant Royal Court, the Celeritas Sword Sect, and the Thunderbolt Sword Sect, they had the same concerns.
So it was not only Stonefeather, Shi Zongmao, Shi Zongtang, and the other experts of the Great Qin Dynasty. At this moment, all the experts of the human race were paying attention to the development of the monks going to Kunlun.
Perhaps because they did not receive the news, or because they could not get away, or because of other considerations, there were no Buddhist experts who had achieved the golden body among the monks who went to Kunlun.
The ones with the highest cultivation were only Monk Yuan Xin and Monk Yuan Cheng, who were at the late Yuanying realm.
Under their lead, the monks gathered together. They had solemn expressions and walked silently. They did not break through the space to escape. Instead, they walked over mountains and rivers. They walked all the way to the depths of the northern foothills of Kunlun Mountain, to the bank of Yunfeng Mirror Lake.
Although none of the monks who crossed the mountains had achieved the golden body of Buddhism, they had an awe-inspiring and dignified aura.
In the area of Kunlun Mountain, anything that happened was mostly under the control of Xuanmen Tianzong. When the monks arrived, Lin Feng and his disciple naturally knew.
Zhu Yi and Wang Lin stood on Yujing Mountain. Their gazes seemed to pass through the layers of void and landed on the mountains of Kunlun Mountain.
"Tiantai, Tianchi, remember to take it step by step," Zhu Yi said lightly. Behind him, Yang Tie and Li Xingfei bowed and answered, "Yes, Master."
The two left the mountain and went to Yunfeng. Zhu Yi turned his head and looked at Wang Lin. "Although after the incident with Zen Master Danning, the current situation was also expected, I did not think that the situation would develop to this point."
"However, the more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes. This is also the path that must be taken."
Wang Lin nodded. "I'll go and see Zen Master Dade."
After Yang Tie and Li Xingfei went down Yunfeng, they came to the shore of Mirror Lake and bowed in front of the monks.
Although they could not see Wang Lin, Zhu Yi, and the others, which made the monks a little dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do. After all, the people who were equal to Wang Lin and the others had to be Buddhist powerhouses like Zen Master Danning and Monk Dakong.
Although Yang Tie and Li Xingfei were still cultivators in the Golden Elixir Period, they were decent people and had high status. They were the personal disciples of Zhu Yi and Wang Lin respectively.
A young monk thought in his heart, "If I refute you, let's see if your master can still sit still."
Monk Yuan Xin's expression was calm. "We have no other purpose for coming here. We heard that your sect has a different understanding of our Buddhist Dao of Karma, so we came here to discuss Dao."
Yang Tie turned to look at Li Xingfei. Li Xingfei nodded and said calmly, "My master already knows why you are here, so he specially ordered me to wait here for you masters. It's normal to discuss Dao and ask for advice, so it's fine."
"I wonder if you want to greet Zen Master Dade first, or start discussing Dao directly?"
Monk Yuan Xin and Monk Yuan Cheng shook their heads. "Let's start directly, there's no hurry with Uncle-Master Dade."
Actually, some monks still had some complaints about Zen Master Dade. They felt that he had led a wolf into the house, which led to today's disaster. However, Zen Master Dade's seniority was high and he was dignified, so it was not appropriate for them to say anything.
Yang Tie said, "Please forgive me for my poor hospitality." After saying that, he led the monks up Cloud Peak and into the central hall.
After entering the hall, they sat down. The monks faced Yang Tie and Li Xingfei, but there was no disturbance. They were all answered by Monk Yuan Xin and Monk Yuan Cheng.
"Almsgiver Li, forgive me for not agreeing with you." Monk Yuan Cheng put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha in a low voice. "Strange things are common in the world, and my brother and I are not ignorant and inexperienced people."
"All these years, I have lived in seclusion in the village, and I have seen many similar things. There are things that seem strange and have no reason, but in fact, it's just because the truth is hidden, and mortals are unable to know."
Monk Yuan Cheng said, "For example, there was a man in the village who dreamed of being bitten by a giant insect. He woke up with a start every time and couldn't sleep at night, looking haggard."
"Later, when he fell asleep again, he killed the giant insect in his dream. When he woke up, he found a small insect the size of a thumb outside the window that looked exactly like the insect in his dream. The insect was already dead, and the man never had nightmares again."
"Rumor has it that this man killed insects in his dream, but it's actually just a kind of monster. It can only enter dreams to harm people and injure their souls, but it's very weak itself. If it was injured by someone in the dream, its soul would be destroyed, and it would really die."
Monk Yuan Cheng looked at Li Xingfei and Yang Tie and said in a deep voice, "There are some things in the world that can't be explained with cause and effect. It's because we don't understand cause and effect, not because cause and effect doesn't exist."
Monk Yuan Xin spread out his palms. "Please take a look. Here are two iron balls that are extremely similar in weight."
There was an iron ball in each of his palms, and they looked exactly the same. Monk Yuan Xin said Silently, "For mortals, they can't tell the difference in weight between these two iron balls. Even the most accurate scale can't measure the difference."
"Even Qi Condensation cultivators and even Foundation Establishment cultivators can't detect or measure it."
"But this doesn't mean that the weight of these two iron balls is exactly the same." Monk Yuan Xin said, "This poor monk, fellow Daoists, or any cultivator of the Golden Elixir Period or Yuanying Period can detect the slight difference in weight."
Yang Tie and Li Xingfei looked at each other and smiled. Li Xingfei said, "But from the point of view of mortals, when we are in the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment realms, whether it's us or a Great Master, in reality, we don't know if there's a definite difference between the two iron balls."
Monk Yuan Xin also smiled. "That's right, but there are too few iron balls like this, and we can already measure most of them."
Li Xingfei shook her head. "But there's another situation. If we use the same method all the time, then no matter how long it takes, there will always be some iron balls that can't be accurately measured."
All the monks shook their heads at the same time. "That's impossible."
Some arrogant people even sneered in their hearts. 'In tens of thousands of years, who knows how many experts there have been, but no one has been able to shake the path of Buddhism. Even Taixu Temple hasn't been able to do so. If you want to criticize us, Xuanmen Tianzong, you should at least have established your own sect for more than ten thousand years. It's not like there aren't meteors that pass by in a flash!'
Li Xingfei's expression was calm. She pointed her finger lightly, and a ball of light and shadow appeared in front of everyone.
A moment later, on Mount Yujing, Lin Feng's heart suddenly stirred. He glanced at the void below the mountain and slightly raised his eyebrows.
"First, Shu Mountain made me break their glass hearts, and now it's Buddhism's turn. But in all honesty, us master and disciples really didn't come here just to break their Dao hearts."
"In the future, I won't get the nickname of the destroyer of Dao hearts, right? This reputation doesn't sound good."
He shook his head and looked at Zen Master Dade in front of him. "Master, let's continue."
