As soon as the decree of Taiqing was issued, the outer sect disciples of Jie School immediately stopped in their tracks. Only Xuandu, Jiang Xu, Abundant Treasures, and the other direct disciples of the three sects walked into the Three Pristines Palace in an orderly manner.
"Greetings, Master (Martial Uncle, Martial Uncle)!”
Everyone immediately knelt down and bowed to the Three Pure Ones, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.
"There's no need to be so polite!"
Taiqing gently stroked her sleeves and helped the disciples of the three religions up.
"Disciples of the Three Sects of Humanity, Enlightenment, and Interception are of the same spirit. You are all disciples of the Three Pure Ones, so you should guide each other and improve together.
The purpose of today's conference is to prove the Great Dao to each other, to promote the friendship between the disciples of the same sect, and to test your cultivation achievements. Those who come out on top will be rewarded.”
As soon as Tai Qing finished speaking, the disciples of the Three Sects were excited and wanted to win first place.
There were two ways to discuss the Dao: a literary battle and a martial battle. The martial battle was naturally a competition of strength between the two sides to determine the level of the Dao.
A literary battle was to explain the truth of heaven and earth. It was to see who had a deeper understanding of the Great Dao of All Things and could suppress the other party with rebuttal. The winner would be the party.
The three religions were all disciples of the Three Pure Ones, so they naturally used the method of debate to avoid hurting the Unity Qi of each sect.
"You can speak freely in the discussion. Who among the disciples of the three religions is willing to set a precedent and explain the Great Dao to everyone!”
Tai Qing asked. His gaze fell on Abundant Treasures, Wu Dang, Jiang Xu, and the other personal disciples.
Although being the first to preach the Dao could show one's uniqueness, without a powerful comprehension, no one would dare to enter the stage easily. This was a solo battle, and they would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Honored Lord of the Origin did not say anything else. He immediately glanced at the people from the Clan of Enlightenment and said in a deep voice as his gaze fell on Jiang Xu.
"Jiang Xu, as the eldest senior brother of Chan School, you should set an example for your junior brothers.”
Jiang Xu was stunned when he heard this. Why did his master let him go first?
There were many disciples of Chan School. If Taiyi, Yu Ding, Guang Chengzi, and the others were allowed to go on stage first, even if they were defeated in the Dao discussion, Jiang Xu still had a chance to turn the situation around.
Now, if he was the first to fight, Chan School would be defeated if he was not careful.
Primordial Heaven Supreme's move was undoubtedly to suppress the rhythm of all the disciples of Jie School!
Jiang Xu's guess was right. Heavenly Lord of the Origin wanted him to suppress all the disciples of Jie School alone to show the strength of Chan School.
Although Jiang Xu was unwilling to be the first to appear, he had no choice but to obey his master's orders. He could only suppress the disciples of Jie School and Ren School one by one.
"Master has ordered that disciple will seek advice from all of you.”
Jiang Xu's expression was firm. He immediately took a step forward and cupped his hands towards everyone.
"May I ask all the junior brothers present, what is the Great Dao?”
As soon as Jiang Xu finished speaking, the Three Pristines Temple fell silent. Abundant Treasures, Wudang, Three Nights, Xuandu, and the others all fell into deep thought.
However, Guang Chengzi, Yu Ding, Chi Jingzi, and the other disciples of Chan School smiled, and their eyes shone with a bright golden light.
"Eldest Senior Brother's words are indeed sharp, and he is a one-liner. Let's see how they respond.”
One had to know that there were thousands of Great Daos. How could it be possible to summarize all of them in one or two sentences, let alone completely clarify the essence of the Great Dao?
"The word 'Great Dao' seems simple, but it has a profound meaning. Jiang Xu is only a Perfected Immortal, but he can ask this question. It's obvious that he has already begun to pursue his own Great Dao.”
Tai Qing stroked his beard and commented on Jiang Xu, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Primordial Heaven Supreme did not say anything else. Instead, his gaze fell on Tongtian.
If a simple question could make a disciple of Jie School suffer a setback, it would seem that Tongtian's teaching ability was too poor.
Tongtian ignored Primordial Origin and looked at the disciples of Jie School, hoping that someone would step forward.
Zhao Gongming pondered for a moment before taking a step forward.
"The Dao is the infinite Yin and Yang. It gives birth to the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, and earth. All living beings are the carriers of the Great Dao, so all living things are the Great Dao!”
"Alright, Senior Brother Zhao Gongming's words are brilliant. He has explained the essence of the Great Dao in one sentence and is a role model for us!”
As soon as Zhao Gongming finished speaking, an outer sect disciple of Jie School complimented him as if he had really understood the meaning behind it.
Everyone from Chan School scoffed and wanted to ridicule in their hearts. How could outer sect disciples like you know the essence of the Great Dao and just gossip here?
When Zhao Gongming saw the outer sect disciples of Jie School calling out together, he felt even more confident as if he had the upper hand.
" Junior Brother Zhao Gongming, don't mislead the disciples. If everything in the world is the Great Way, why don't we see any snakes, insects, rats, and ants actualizing the Way of the Sages of Origin? Why don't the sun, moon, and stars control the power of Untainted Land?"
"As living beings of all races, why don't you disciples of Jie School follow the Great Dao? Instead, you seek the Great Dao by worshipping a Saint as your master. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
His junior brother's words were not valid at all. He actually dared to talk loudly and let the people of Jie School praise him wantonly. He was afraid that he would go astray.”
Jiang Xu's words were harsh and cruel. He used snakes, insects, rats, and ants to allude to the disciples of Jie School. He also pointed out that everyone thought highly of themselves and regarded themselves as the Great Dao.
Jiang Xu casually retorted, causing Zhao Gongming's statement that everything was a Great Dao to fall apart. The expressions of the people from Jie School turned gloomy as if they had been slapped in the face.
Zhao Gongming thought about it again and again, but he had no ability to refute. He could only reveal an unwilling expression and slowly retreat into the crowd.
Seeing Zhao Gongming's defeat, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother frowned slightly and immediately retorted.
"Senior Brother Jiang Xu's fallacy is that there are thousands of Great Daos that can prove the Origin. It's not that the Great Dao doesn't exist, but that the Dao cannot be easily passed down, so it doesn't show itself.”
"Senior Martial Sister Jin Ling is right. The Great Dao of All Beings has yet to appear, so the Origin cannot be seen. When we become Saints and verify our Dao, the myriad Great Dao will naturally appear.”
Jin Ling, Wu Dang, and the others were unwilling to be weak and went forward to refute Jiang Xu.
When Guang Chengzi, Yu Ding, and the others heard the words of the disciples of Jie School, their expressions suddenly darkened, and they secretly thought that something was wrong.
"I originally thought that the disciples of Jie School had no comprehension at all. I didn't expect them to have such a brilliant theory. I wonder how Eldest Senior Brother will refute?”
Guang Chengzi looked anxious, as if he was suppressed by Wu Dang and the Gold Spirit Holy Mother's words.
Although the people from Chan School did not go on stage to discuss the Dao with the disciples of Jie School, both sides could speak freely and did not prohibit them from speaking.
Not only Guang Chengzi, even Yu Ding, Chi Jingzi, Taiyi, and the other direct disciples of Chan School could not refute him.
"It's really difficult to refute Wu Dang and Jin Ling's explanation of the Great Dao with the future of all living beings. We can only hope that Eldest Senior Brother will have more profound words. Otherwise, Chan School will be defeated.”
Yu Ding looked worried as he looked at Jiang Xu expectantly, hoping that he could turn the tide.
Tongtian saw the nervous expressions of the disciples of the Clan of Enlightenment and was instantly overjoyed. He did not forget to mock Heavenly Lord Yuanshi.
"The disciples of Chan School are still too weak in discussing the Dao. I'm stumped. Second Brother has to teach them well!”
"How can a mere small path stump Jiang Xu? Third Brother, just watch!”
As soon as Heavenly Lord Yuanshi finished speaking, he stared at Jiang Xu firmly as if he had great confidence in him.
