Chapter 19: What is the Great Dao?
As the Saints discussed, Saint Taiqing directly announced,""This is the first time that the Celestial Sect of Wonders is holding a conference.
I wonder which Martial Nephew is willing to discuss Dao first?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Gongming of Jie School immediately stood up and said in a deep voice,"Fellow disciples, your Dao techniques are profound, so let me throw out a brick to attract jade.
Which senior brother or junior brother is willing to discuss Dao with me?”
Zhao Gongming had a free and easy personality and did not stick to formalities. He knew that the first person to discuss the Dao might suffer a loss, but he still took the lead.
In fact, not only were there conflicts between the East and West, but Chan School and Jie School were not as harmonious as they seemed on the surface.
Chan School and Jie School were fighting in the open and in the dark. The disciples of the two schools even often fought.
Therefore, as soon as Zhao Gongming went on stage, the disciples of Chan School enthusiastically participated in the pre-test, wanting to compete with him.
When Primordial Heaven Supreme saw Zhao Gongming of Jie School leave, he secretly transmitted his voice,"Yu Ding, go and have a Dao discussion with him!”
Perfected Yu Ding heard the voice transmission and immediately walked toward the square without hesitation.
"Perfected Yu Ding of Chan School is willing to discuss the Dao with Junior Brother Gongming!”
Perfected Yu Ding was the second senior brother of Chan School. He was very powerful and had already reached the Golden Immortal realm. He also had a deep understanding of Tao techniques.
Primordial Heaven Supreme sent him first to show the strength of Chan School.
As Yu Ding and Zhao Gongming left the stage, the disciples of the four religions were all looking forward to it. Su Heng was also watching attentively.
Zhao Gongming and Perfected Yu Ding were the cream of the crop among the third generation disciples.
During the God-Sealing Period, Perfected Yu Ding had taught Yang Jian, who was comparable to the twelve Golden Immortals of the Clan of Enlightenment. His comprehension of the Tao technique must be far superior to ordinary people.
When Zhao Gongming was apotheosized, he suppressed the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School alone. He was very powerful, so he must be an expert in Dao discussion.
Putting these two people together to discuss the Dao, it was really impossible to guess who would win.
"No matter who wins, the Western Sect will benefit from the internal conflict between the Chan and Jie Sects!”
Su Heng sighed to himself and stared at the two people below, waiting for them to discuss the Dao.
Zhao Gongming asked with a smile when he saw Yu Ding.
"I've heard that Senior Brother Yu Ding's Dao is profound. May I ask what Dao is?”
Zhao Gongming was the first to ask about the nature of Dao.
There were thousands of Daos, and Daos were endless. It was undoubtedly very difficult to clarify the essence of Daos with just a few words.
Zhao Gongming's words seemed light, but it was not easy to answer. The disciples of the various sects all looked thoughtful, as if they were thinking about how to answer.
"There are thousands of Dao techniques that can't be described in three days and three nights. Senior Brother Gongming's words are really sharp and will definitely make Immortal Yu Ding speechless.”
A disciple of Jie School whispered as if he was full of confidence in Zhao Gongming.
As for the people from Chan School, they looked nervous, afraid that Perfected Yu Ding would not be able to answer.
Su Heng, Maitreya, and the others sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight. They did not feel nervous at all.
Perfected Yu Ding pondered for a moment before replying.
"Dao is formless and formless, born from the infinite. It is the mother of Yin and Yang, the cause of the heavens. Everything in the world is a projection of Dao!
Therefore, the Dao that all living beings cultivated was Dao.”
Perfected Yu Ding spoke with confidence, his expression calm. He could easily resolve Zhao Gongming's difficulties.
As soon as he said this, the disciples of Chan School shouted one after another.
"Senior Brother Yu Ding, you are right. All living beings cultivate themselves to prove their Dao. The cultivation path of all cultivators is the embodiment of Dao.”
As the Second Senior Brother of Chan School, Perfected Yu Ding's comprehension of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was naturally extremely profound.
"This Daoist Yu Ding is quite interesting. He cleverly avoided the essence of Dao and used the Dao techniques cultivated by all living beings to explain the existence of Dao.”
The Saint of Jieyin sighed to himself. His eyes sparkled as if he was thinking about something.
Zhao Gongming was stunned. He didn't expect Yu Ding to answer him like that.
The Dao cultivated by all living beings was indeed a Dao, but it still did not specify what it was. However, he could not find any words to refute it, and he was at a loss for a moment.
Seeing that Zhao Gongming was silent, Perfected Yu Ding immediately launched a counterattack.
"This Penniless Priest has elaborated on the essence of Dao and has something to ask Junior Brother Gongming. May I ask what is the Great Dao?”
As soon as Daoist Yu Ding finished speaking, the entire square fell silent. Even the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and the other Sages looked solemn.
Although there was only a single word difference between Dao and Great Dao, the meaning they contained was vastly different.
The Heavenly Dao, Earth Dao, Human Dao, and the Dao cultivated by all living beings were all part of the Dao. As long as the answer was not too ridiculous, it would be recognized by everyone.
However, the Great Dao was above the Heavenly Dao. Even the Saints had yet to fully comprehend it, let alone others.
Now, Perfected Yu Ding was asking Zhao Gongming about the Great Dao. He was obviously deliberately making things difficult for him.
A question that even a Saint couldn't solve, and you were asking others. Was this how Dao discussions were played?
Su Heng had witnessed the process of the two people's discussion and had a new understanding of cultivators 'discussion.
When cultivators discussed the Dao, perhaps they didn't need to have a deep understanding of the Dao. As long as they could use sophistry to make the other party speechless, they could win.
"Perfected Yu Ding asked with the Great Dao. I'm afraid that not many people present can answer. Zhao Gongming's defeat has become a fact.”
Su Heng sighed. He had already guessed the outcome of the two's discussion.
How could Zhao Gongming, a Golden Immortal, answer a question that even a Sage couldn't explain?
Even if Zhao Gongming had a way with words, Immortal Yu Ding could still find loopholes in his words and refute him.
In other words, Zhao Gongming had already been defeated the moment Immortal Yu Ding proposed the Great Dao.
At this moment, Zhao Gongming's expression was very serious when he heard Yu Ding's question.
What was a Great Dao?
He was just a Golden Immortal cultivator who did not even know the Dao of a Perfected Golden Immortal. How could he answer what the Great Dao was?
If Zhao Gongming could answer what Dao was, wouldn't it mean that he had already vindicated Dao?
At this moment, Zhao Gongming already knew that he could not answer this question, so he immediately replied.
"Shixiong's words are sharp and I can't answer. I lost!”
Zhao Gongming admitted defeat and cupped his hands towards Yu Ding.
Perfected Yu Ding smiled and replied,""Thank you, Junior Brother!"
Honored Lord of the Origin smiled when he saw that Immortal Yu Ding had won. He looked at Sect Leader Tongtian with a smug expression.
School Master Tongtian sensed Primordial Heaven Supreme's smug face and secretly transmitted his voice.
"Hmph, only a disciple of Chan School would ask a question without an answer. What's there to be proud of with such an opportunistic method?”
When Primordial Heaven Supreme heard the voice transmission, he immediately replied,"Dao discussion is not only about comprehension of the Dao, but also wisdom.
"Your Jie School disciples are useless. How can you blame my Chan School disciples for being too strong?”
Heavenly Lord of the Origin and Sect Master Tongtian communicated through voice transmission. Sparks seemed to fly when their eyes met, but others could not detect it.
(PS: The second chapter, kneel, there are still evaluation votes!) I feel that the data for the past two days has been very poor. I hope that the readers can support me more!）
