130: Chapter 55 Discussing the Way While Sitting_3 130: Chapter 55 Discussing the Way While Sitting_3 Ningning Mu slapped the table and stood up, “Elder, I will debate with them!”

“Ah!”

Li Ping’an hurriedly pulled Ningning Mu back to her seat:

“Junior Sister, your cultivation is shallow and weak, and when debating the Dao, there’s much sophistry involved.

Debating can easily harm your Dao heart.”

Elder Xu, the Immortal, chuckled, “Why don’t I go vent some anger and scold them all away?”

“How could we impose on the elder?”

Elder Yansheng quickly said:

“They are seeking out our Wanyun Sect.

If news of this spreads, the whole of the East Continent will laugh at the incapability of our Wanyun Sect.”

Several immortals from the Wanyun Sect started worrying:

“Should we just leave?”

“If we leave just like this, wouldn’t it be ridiculous?”

Gu Qingcheng pursed her lips, clenched her fists, stood up, and gave a Daoist salute to Elder Yansheng, “Disciple is willing to go and debate with them on the methods of cultivation and the way to become an immortal!”

The Wanyun Sect immortals each hummed softly.

Among the four disciples present, Gu Qingcheng had the highest level of cultivation.

If someone was to take on today’s debate, she naturally was the most suitable.

But the gap between the Heaven and Earth Bridge stage and the Merge True stage was vast…

“Very well.”

After some thought, Elder Yansheng said calmly:

“The Sea Watch Sect keeps provoking us, and our Wanyun Sect will certainly have to have a good talk with them later.

“You four do not need to feel burdened today, just treat it as a chance to see the world outside and expand your knowledge.

If they want to debate, then debate.

Do not mind winning or losing.”

“These immortals from the Sea Watch Sect are actually somewhat different from those of other sects, mostly because of the atmosphere within their sect, all quite fond of striving to be the best.”

Li Ping’an nodded with a smile, seeing the elder has made a decision, he himself had no need to say more.

He quietly took out a Jade Talisman, wrote a few sentences in it, and handed it to Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng took the Jade Talisman and frowned slightly upon reading it.

Inside were several questions on cultivation, along with their answers.

Gu Qingcheng knew that their brother Ping’an was unfathomable and deeply concealed his abilities, but he really didn’t expect…

He couldn’t understand these answers at all!

Did brother Ping’an not have any simpler questions?

If the other side came up with answers, he might not even understand!

Just at this moment, a few loud and clear voices came from behind the screen:

“Sea Watch Sect disciple, Dugu Mei!”

“Sea Watch Sect disciple, Murong You!”

“Sea Watch Sect disciple, Xi Men Dui!”

“Sea Watch Sect disciple, Dong Fang Xiang!”

All four together,” “We have long admired the Cloud-Manipulating Technique and the Path of Clouds of the Wanyun Sect.

We’ve heard that the Wanyun Sect disciples are here, so we have taken the liberty to disturb you today, wishing to debate the Dao with Wanyun Sect disciples!”

They had arrived.

Xu Sheng pressed down on Li Ping’an’s arm and sent a message, “Ping’an, if you are disgusted by this matter, the old man can send them away for you.”

Li Ping’an felt somewhat helpless.

He knew that the elder Immortal beside him just wanted to take this opportunity to ingratiate himself with his father.

Li Ping’an truly didn’t understand what the entire Sea Watch Sect was thinking, acting like they were sick, always wanting to compete and struggle for victory.

Shouldn’t cultivating immortality be about peace and tranquility, about seeing who can last and achieve immortality in the end?

The experience in the East Sea was already a contest of will, and it made a giant demon, a bull demon, take notice of him for no reason.

Now they had come to stir up this kind of debating disturbance!

However, these were just Li Ping’an’s inward complaints.

Outwardly, he remained composed, quickly calming his Dao heart, his eyes flickering with contemplation.

Gu Qingcheng had already stood up, resolutely calling out, “Elder, Brother Ping’an, I will meet with them!”

Elder Yansheng said, “Ping’an and Ningning will stay put; you two go.”

Yu Yingshu stood up upon receiving the command.

Three female disciples from the Yuan Sect also said, “Let’s go and support Brother Qingcheng!”

Gu Qingcheng stood tall, his chest puffed out, exuding an aura of sword intent surrounding him.

Accompanied by Yu Yingshu and the three Yuan Sect junior sisters, they stepped out of the private room’s barrier.

As soon as they went out, Gu Qingcheng felt a bit weak in the knees.

The screens all around had been moved away at some unknown time, and the entire top floor had become open from front to back, with semi-transparent wooden walls on all sides.

Outside floated hundreds of local Loose Cultivators who had come to watch the excitement.

In the center of the top floor, four disciples of the Sea Watch Sect wearing orange Daoist robes were lined up.

They simultaneously gave Gu Qingcheng a Daoist salute, then uniformly sat down cross-legged.

Three of them closed their eyes to concentrate, while one raised a hand in invitation.

“Fellow Daoist, please take your seat!”

Gu Qingcheng steeled his sword heart, tucked the Jade Talisman given by Brother Ping’an into his sleeve, and stepped forward.

Suddenly, a Sea Watch Sect disciple opened his eyes, “Fellow Daoist has not responded, why do you take a seat?”

Gu Qingcheng frowned, “What’s wrong with sitting first and responding later?”

The disciple said, “There is a sequence in seasons, and precedence in the Dao.

Without distinguishing first from last, how can one attain immortality?”

“I—”

Had met an obstacle.

Gu Qingcheng and Yu Yingshu both stiffened their fists.

Both were inclined to Magical Combat and now really wanted to change this verbal battle into physical combat.

Gu Qingcheng had prepared himself based on what Brother Ping’an showed in the Jade Talisman, ready to ask them some profound questions and stump them, but he didn’t expect to lose the initiative…

Gu Qingcheng said, “Since when does the Dao have an order of precedence?”

Dugu Mei replied, “Fellow Daoist is mistaken, the Dao has no high or low because all three thousand great Dao can lead to divinity.

The Dao has precedence because first there was the universe, then all Dao were revealed.

Moreover, with the establishment of precedence in achieving the Dao, we have the existence of masters and disciples.

With such a counter-question, how can you resolve the notion of ‘the Dao resides in the heart’?”

Gu Qingcheng continued to ponder and stood there in deep thought.

One mustn’t speak rashly when debating the Dao.

With so many people listening around, convincing the audience was key.

Gu Qingcheng suddenly felt a frustration of being powerful yet having nowhere to apply his strength; even his Dao heart started to experience slight vexation.

If this continued, his Dao heart might suffer…

Seeing this, a female disciple from the Yuan Sect was about to speak up to relieve Gu Qingcheng, but suddenly, there came a light laugh from behind.

“The Dao resided in the heart, is but an illusion.

The Dao walks between heaven and earth, existing far before you fellow Daoists, whether it resides within.

oneself or not, what concern of it is the Dao?”

Gu Qingcheng, Yu Yingshu, and the three female disciples all turned around simultaneously.

Li Ping’an, carrying a jug of Immortal Brew and a cup, stepped around the screen, walking forward.
