Can't Stand This Lousy Jie Sect Anymore

Chapter 208: Giving You a Little Shock from the Plagiarist (Second Update Please Subscribe)


Yu Yuan was riding on the back of the Golden-eyed Five Clouds Camel, looking down at Da Shizhi with some surprise and astonishment in his heart.

Where did Da Shizhi get such confidence?

Does this guy not know that he has beaten up a few Chan Sect Golden Immortals?

The truth is, Da Shizhi really didn't know!

Since the negotiation among the Three Sects, the Western Sect began active preparations, strategizing in multiple aspects to seek development.

Under the instruction of the two Saints, the disciples were assigned different tasks and scattered throughout Primordial.

Da Shizhi's task was to convert "the destined ones" into Dharma Protector Vajras, strengthening the Western Sect.

For this purpose, he had been in the wilderness of the Northern Continent for quite a long time and knew almost nothing about the outside world.

Even if he knew, it probably would not change his mind.

He is the fierce and diligent Da Shizhi after all!

How could he be cowardly and flinch because of some rumors?

Moreover, this humiliation had been stifled in his heart for a long time, almost becoming a demon hindrance in his mind.

Without avenging this, his thoughts could not be clear.

At this moment, he looked at Yu Yuan and said in a deep voice: "Last time I debated the Dao with you, you, the junior, slandered our Western Dao with despicable methods!

Today, I will not fight you; I just want to have another debate of the Dao with you!"

"I think you have a problem!"

Yu Yuan said discontentedly: "I'm not idle and have nothing to do, why should I debate with you?"

Da Shizhi was prepared for his attitude, glanced sideways, "Are you scared?"

"Exactly, I'm very scared."

Such a crude provocation wouldn't trick Yu Yuan; he casually responded while patting the camel's hump.

The Golden-eyed Five Clouds Camel's hooves glowed with golden light, transforming into a streak of Golden Light Cloud and continued to race forward.

Da Shizhi jabbed his Nine Ringed Staff heavily into the ground, his voice booming like a bell, "You shall not leave!"

Along with his voice, a stone mountain suddenly rose tens of thousands of feet in front of them, blocking the Golden-eyed Five Clouds Camel's path, forcing it to change direction.

However, no matter which way the Golden-eyed Five Clouds Camel turned, there was always a tall mountain springing from the ground, reaching into the skies, firmly blocking its path.

Yu Yuan gently patted the camel's hump, stopping the Golden-eyed Five Clouds Camel, then took out the Mixed Gold Hammer, intending to let this disciple of the Western Sect taste the strength from the East.

At that moment, however, he heard Da Shizhi loudly say: "I know you must have come for the Chaos Bell Fragments. Just half a day ago, I saw that Demon God holding the Chaos Bell Fragments... If you can win the debate against me, I'll tell you the whereabouts of that Demon God!"

"Why didn't you say that earlier!"

Yu Yuan immediately put away his hammer, descended from the clouds, and cheerfully said: "Alright, a debate it is, however you want to debate."

Da Shizhi frowned, "Then if you lose, what about..."

"I won't lose," Yu Yuan confidently interrupted him.

"Arrogant!"

Da Shizhi snorted coldly, and said in a heavy voice: "If you lose, you will willingly follow me to the Western Pure Land!"

Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows, looking at Da Shizhi, "You wish. But who will decide this win or lose?"

Debating the Dao is not like fighting with magic; winning or losing depends entirely on one's words!

There are only the two of them here, unlike last time at the Heavenly Court, where there was a public opinion on wins and losses.

Da Shizhi indifferently said: "Though this place is desolate, it is not devoid of creatures... How about this, let the first wise creature that appears in our sight make the decision."

Yu Yuan slightly shifted, keenly sensing some trickery.

However, he wasn't worried about breaking any vows, and immediately nodded, agreeing with Da Shizhi to take the solemn Dao oath.

Then, both sat down to wait.

It was only a short while, merely the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, when a figure entered the range of Yu Yuan's Divine Thought.

It was a strikingly handsome young man wearing a moon white Kasaya, his head completely shaven, dressed in a white robe, exceptionally handsome, with an aloof and detached demeanor.

In the blink of an eye, this handsome youth descended from the clouds and landed next to the two.

Yu Yuan took a careful look, confirming he had never seen this person.

However, he felt a somewhat familiar aura emanating from the other, as if he had encountered it somewhere before.

He looked towards Da Shizhi, curiously asking: "Is this your disciple?"

"He's a junior fellow brother."

Da Shizhi generously admitted their relationship.

With a slight cold smile on his lips, he stated in a deep voice: "According to our agreement, the outcome of this debate will be judged by this junior fellow brother of mine.

But rest assured, I intend to win you fair and square this time. This formality is just to ensure fairness and justice, so that you won't resort to your crooked tricks again."

Yu Yuan clicked his tongue twice, "Whatever makes you happy."

Da Shizhi took it as his stubborn retort and didn't pay much heed, his gaze turned to the handsome youth, seriously saying: "You've heard everything, right?"

"Rest assured, senior brother."

The handsome youth nodded, then turned to Yu Yuan, placing his hands together in greeting, "Monk Jin Naluo greets the Dao friend.

Please be assured.

As long as the Dao friend doesn't resort to those dishonest tricks, I will judge impartially."

Jin Naluo?

Yu Yuan glanced at the white-robed monk and did not say much.

At this moment, Da Shi Zhi's gaze turned toward him, "The Dao I wish to discuss is called Emptiness..."

"Wait a moment!"

Yu Yuan rudely interrupted him, saying irritably, "Up until now, you've been the one to choose the topic for our debates, and now you even let your junior fellow disciple act as the judge. Choosing the topic again is a bit too much, don't you think?

And you still dare to say you will defeat me fairly and squarely?

You've really lost all shame!"

Da Shi Zhi's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he sneered, "Are you trying to provoke me with this manner, just because you want to choose a topic of Xuanmen which you are good at?"

"Do not measure my intentions with your petty-mindedness."

Yu Yuan scoffed, not waiting for Da Shi Zhi to retort, and directly said, "Doesn't your Western Sect have the method of composing verses to comprehend the Dao?

Then I will compose a verse, and if you can compose a better one, you naturally win."

Da Shi Zhi was slightly stunned, looking at Yu Yuan somewhat unexpectedly, "It seems you do indeed understand our Western Sect well.

But composing verses is not done whimsically, it requires a true understanding of the Western Dao... Are you really capable?"

Jin Naluo also stared at Yu Yuan unblinkingly, full of curiosity.

The two disciples of the Western Sect, of course, knew the method of verse composition to realize the Dao.

The method of verse creation is 'skillful,' able to evolve infinite skills within a single verse, encapsulating the entire comprehension of the Dao.

The listeners can garner great enlightenment from this short verse.

Yu Yuan didn't keep them in suspense and looking at Da Shi Zhi, he said, "The Wisdom Light from the treasure vase on your head can illuminate the entire world, liberate all beings from the calamities of bloodshed and weapons, and attain the supreme Power of Bodhi... with this I will compose a verse, listen carefully—

The body is the Bodhi Tree, the mind is like the Bright Mirror Platform.

Constantly strive to wipe it clean, do not let it gather dust."

As the classic Buddhist verse from his past life's memory was recited, Da Shi Zhi and Jin Naluo were instantly stunned.

It wasn't that they didn't understand, but precisely because they did understand.

The Bodhi Tree is their Western Sect's Supreme Enlightenment, the Bright Mirror Platform is their Western Sect's Pure Realm...

Jin Naluo, with deep shock in his eyes, took a while to regain his composure, then placed his hands together respectfully towards Yu Yuan, "Such a call to constantly strive to wipe clean, to not let it gather dust... this poor monk has been taught!"

During his speech, a Wisdom Divine Ring appeared behind his head, bright and brilliant, like a Bright Mirror Platform.

When he said, "I've been taught," it was not just talk, but a true learning from this Buddhist verse that greatly benefitted him, enhancing his understanding of the Western Dao a bit.

Though it was just a bit, for someone of his realm, it was an extraordinary advancement.

Da Shi Zhi was similarly stunned, looking at Yu Yuan in amazement.

He had expected the other might compose a verse, but never envisioned that he could create one so exquisite and profound, directly pointing to the core teachings of the Western Sect's Dao.

Yu Yuan watched their expressions, secretly amused.

In this era, where Buddhism was still taking shape and the doctrines of the Western Sect were still being explored, throwing out this renowned Zen koan from memory was understandably impactful.

He looked at Da Shi Zhi, smiling, "Now it's your turn."

"This..."

Da Shi Zhi's eyes flashed with panic, gritting his teeth, "It's impossible that you composed this! You, a disciple of the Jie Sect, have only cultivated for just over a thousand years, mainly refining your physical body... How could you have such a profound understanding of our Western Sect's Dao?

Tell me! Where did you get this verse from?"

"Hehe, can't accept your defeat, can you?"

Yu Yuan teasingly looked at Da Shi Zhi, "Even being a great Saint's Disciple, if you don't think for yourself, at least consider the dignity of the Saint."

"You this youngster!"

Da Shi Zhi angrily said, "Do you dare swear to prove that this verse was truly composed by yourself?"

Yu Yuan wasn't afraid to swear, but doing so would certainly reveal his identity as a "plagiarist."

"Tsks~"

Yu Yuan smacked his lips, glanced at Jin Naluo, then looked at Da Shi Zhi and said, "Are you stalling because you can't compose a verse?"

Da Shi Zhi sneered, "You merely happened to hear this verse somewhere, what's there to be proud of?

Don't forget!

Such crooked and malicious tactics cannot be counted!"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Yuan read out slowly and clearly:

"The Bodhi is fundamentally not a tree, and the bright mirror also not a platform.

There is nothing from the start, so where can the dust alight?"

Da Shi Zhi's sneer on his face froze.

He looked at Yu Yuan in disbelief, his left hand holding the Nine Ringed Staff trembling slightly, his mouth agape but unable to utter a word, his eyes wide with profound shock.

Jin Naluo was equally astonished, muttering to himself, "There is fundamentally nothing, where can the dust alight... We are originally pristine; how could we be tainted by any dust?

I have realized, I have realized!"

With that, the Wisdom Divine Ring behind his head also became a bit more brilliant.

Clearly, his understanding of the Western Dao had deepened again.

"Tsks~"

Yu Yuan smacked his lips, inwardly a bit regretful.

Originally intending to give these two Western "natives" a slight shock from a "plagiarist," it seemed he might have shocked them a bit too much.
