Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#532 - Chapter 531 Debate

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me. Brother Dong told us that we were just coming to meet the Envoy of Divine Grace and seek guidance on the Fundamental Great Sutra. He didn't say anything about assassination!" One of the two, a thin old man, was intimidated by the Golden Dharma King's aura and quickly defended himself.

"Who are you?" the Golden Dharma King glared at him.

"Zhou Qiwen, former incense master of the Nankou Altar.", the thin old man said.

"Oh, so you're that Zhou Qiwen who couldn't advance for a century and had to retire. You've become so thin." The Golden Dharma King replied casually, then his face darkened. "You are Old Bai's subordinate. Before you clear your name, you must be detained!"

Ignoring him, the Golden Dharma King looked at the other person and asked, "And you, a subordinate of the Right Divine Envoy?"

"Xun Youshan, former deputy incense master of the Dharma Transmission Altar." This person was a tall and mighty middle-aged man with a square face, a prominent nose, and a long scar on his flushed face. He said in a calm tone, "I am a Dharma Transmitter, not a subordinate of anyone. I came here this time only to witness the grace of the Envoy of Divine Grace."

The Golden Dharma King's expression changed: "It's you! You publicly defied the Right Divine Envoy and weren't you executed?"

Xun Youshan sneered: "Except for the Sect Leader, no one in the Divine Sect can execute a Dharma Transmitter. Does the Dharma King dare to attack a Dharma Transmitter!"

The Golden Dharma King ignored his disrespect and asked in confusion, "The Right Divine Envoy didn't dare to kill you? Who would believe that? It seems your position in the Right Divine Envoy's heart is very unusual! Tell me, what exactly did he send you here for this time!"

Xun Youshan said calmly: "If he could kill me, there is no one in the Divine Sect whom the Right Divine Envoy wouldn't dare to kill. Dharma King, you've made a mistake. I wasn't sent by the Right Divine Envoy at all!"

"Hmm, who sent you?" The Golden Dharma King asked suspiciously.

"I applied to come myself. I applied to the Left Divine Envoy, he agreed, and so I came. I am here only to meet the Envoy of Divine Grace." Xun Youshan turned and looked at the Fire Crow Taoist who was still fighting the Demonic Fire. "These two Envoys of Divine Grace, although extraordinary, are clearly not what I expected. I heard that the Envoy of Divine Grace can use their body as a vessel to invite a god to cast divine spells. Xun is very eager to see it!"

Xun Youshan's composure made the Golden Dharma King somewhat wary. This person's cultivation was only in the middle stage of the Saint Core Realm, but his aura was very obscure, and he seemed to harbor some kind of secret, making him feel quite dangerous. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then what about Dong Changfeng? Is he a member of the Left Divine Envoy?"

Xun Youshan said: "Why does the Dharma King ask the obvious? Dong Changfeng was the previous Azure Dharma King. After retiring, he has been following the Left Divine Envoy, serving Lord Candle Dragon. This time, the Left Divine Envoy specifically named him to accompany Incense Master Quan to welcome the Envoy of Divine Grace."

The Golden Dharma King questioned: "So, Dong Changfeng's assassination of the Envoy of Divine Grace was an order from the Left Divine Envoy?"

Xun Youshan shook his head: "I don't know. Every Dharma Transmitter has their own thoughts and cannot be controlled by anyone."

The Golden Dharma King didn't believe what he said and said disdainfully, "He was sent by the Left Divine Envoy and has been active under the Left Divine Envoy's command. How could he not be a member of the Left Divine Envoy!"

Xun Youshan sneered: "That's just the appearance. Since he voluntarily gave up the position of Azure Dharma King to become a Dharma Transmitter, how could he be easily controlled? Unless he is willing, he will not obey anyone's orders!"

The Golden Dharma King quickly glanced at Qi and Hou, the two Dharma Transmitters under his command, and continued to ask Xun Youshan, "Then, in your opinion, why did Dong Changfeng assassinate the Envoy of Divine Grace?"

Xun Youshan shook his head again: "I don't know. For more than two months on the road, besides exchanging insights on the Fundamental Great Sutra with us, this person only said that he wanted to personally meet the Envoy of Divine Grace to distinguish truth from falsehood, separate the pure from the turbid, and correct errors."

"Distinguish truth from falsehood, separate the pure from the turbid, and correct errors?" The Golden Dharma King was stunned and asked unhappily, "What do you mean? Explain it clearly! Are you taking Old Jin for a fool who hasn't read any books?"

"Distinguish the authenticity of the Envoy of Divine Grace, separate the purity and turbidity of the various forces, and correct the errors in the Fundamental Sutra!" Xun Youshan said powerfully, his eyes shining with intimidating brilliance.

The piety and persistence in his words moved everyone around him, except for the Golden Dharma King, whose face turned yellow.

The Golden Dharma King snorted coldly: "He wants to meet the Envoy of Divine Grace to distinguish the authenticity of the Envoy of Divine Grace. I understand that. But what do the last two sentences mean? Why can't Old Jin understand them!"

Xun Youshan stared at the Golden Dharma King for a few moments, then suddenly smiled: "Why does the Dharma King need to be like this? Everyone present can understand the meaning of these three sentences. With the Dharma King's great wisdom, how could you not understand!"

The Golden Dharma King shook his red robe, put his hands on his hips, and shouted, "Old Jin just doesn't understand. There's no need to pretend. You must explain the last two sentences to me in detail!"

Xun Youshan said without fear: "Since the Dharma King wants to hear me say it again, then I will. The truth has already been distinguished, so there's no need to talk about the result, right?"

"No, you have to say it, say it clearly and thoroughly! Is it true or false, without any ambiguity!" The Golden Dharma King interjected.

"Alright, these Envoys of Divine Grace are naturally fake!" Xun Youshan didn't hide anything and said directly.

"Hoh hoh hoh hoh! How do you know they are fake! You have to give a reasonable explanation, otherwise, the ten thousand followers of the Northern Three Altars won't agree!" The Golden Dharma King raised his head and laughed a few times, then his face turned cold and he said in a cold voice.

"How can the Envoy of Divine Grace fear Divine Fire! Although he can resist, he is only relying on his own magic power and elixirs. He is just a Taoist Qi Refiner! How could he be an envoy of the gods!" Xun Youshan pointed at the Fire Crow Taoist and Zhang Yuanjing, who were doing their best to resist the Demonic Fire, and said contemptuously and disgustedly.

The Golden Dharma King rolled his eyes: "The two Envoys of Divine Grace used their bodies as vessels to invite divine spells and exterminate tens of thousands of Demonic Beasts. How do you explain that?"

"Heh heh, Dharma King, you are pretending to be ignorant! What else could it be but high-grade Demonic Plants. Isn't that how the Divine Sect has always exterminated beasts!" Xun Youshan put on an air of complete control and said calmly.

"That's strange. You say that these two Envoys of Divine Grace descended from the Netherworld Cave in full view of everyone, and they also carry a Demonic Plant of extremely high grade that drives all the Demonic Beasts crazy. How could it be such a coincidence? If it wasn't arranged by the gods, could there be some conspiracy!" The Golden Dharma King retorted sharply.

Xun Youshan sneered: "Dharma King, you don't need to mislead me. Xun has never believed this is a conspiracy. These two so-called 'Envoys of Divine Grace' were accidentally swept into the Netherworld Cave. This kind of thing has happened before. Which Saint Core Realm Demonic Cultivator in the sect doesn't know? They have no connection with the gods. Whether they descended from the Netherworld Cave or possess Demonic Plants, it's all a coincidence. In the cultivation world, there is no shortage of coincidences!"

The Golden Dharma King laughed loudly: "Coincidence? That's really too coincidental. According to you, isn't everything in this world a coincidence? Then what do we need the Candle God for? What do we need the Divine Sect for? Everyone should just believe in coincidence. Why believe in the Candle God!"

Xun Youshan's face sank and he scolded: "Lan Kuisong, you must not be disrespectful to the gods! Are you, a dignified Guardian Dharma King of the Divine Sect, so unruly! The Divine Sect has fallen to what it is today because there are too many people like you!"

The Golden Dharma King's eyes flashed with lightning, shooting straight at Xun Youshan, and said tit-for-tat: "Bullshit! The Divine Sect has become what it is today because of you self-righteous guys! What is the crime for assassinating the Envoy of Divine Grace? Do you know the consequences? Yet you dare to rant here and even lecture Old Jin!"

Xun Youshan also did not back down: "They are not Envoys of Divine Grace, just a few Taoist Qi Refiners. Killing them is no big deal!"

The Golden Dharma King was furious and wanted to attack, but he was worried that this person had some vicious methods and was afraid of affecting the Fire Crow Taoist who was resisting the Demonic Fire. He had to restrain the anger in his heart and said with a ferocious expression:

"The ten thousand followers of the Northern Three Altars all recognize them as Envoys of Divine Grace. Do you know what that means? It means that anyone who dares to disrespect the Envoy of Divine Grace will be despised by them. Anyone who dares to harm the Envoy of Divine Grace will be torn to pieces by them!"

Xun Youshan said loudly: "That's why there is the second sentence: separate the pure from the turbid. What is pure? Those who act according to the Fundamental Sutra are pure. What is turbid? Those who do not respect the Fundamental Sutra and act recklessly for their own selfish interests are turbid.

"Regarding the 'Envoy of Divine Grace,' the Fundamental Sutra has a clear statement: those who appear from divine迹 and are recognized by Lord Candle Dragon are 'Envoy of Divine Grace'! Now, the identities of these two people have not been recognized by Lord Candle Dragon. How can they be called Envoys of Divine Grace?

"And you, the current Golden Dharma King of the Divine Sect, have violated the Fundamental Sutra, arbitrarily recognized their identities as Envoys of Divine Grace, and widely promoted it among the followers, causing ten thousand followers to deviate from the Fundamental Sutra and worship evil spirits. Your sins are very heavy!"

The Golden Dharma King said angrily: "You bastard, it seems you really look down on Old Jin! Old Jin is vulgar, doesn't like to read, and doesn't have much knowledge, but I have read the fundamental大法 of this sect, the 《Scripture of Universal Sanctification》, backwards and forwards! Where in the scripture is there this sentence!"

Xun Youshan sneered: "After the disappearance of the former Sect Leader, various forces fought endlessly. The inheritance of the 《Scripture of Universal Sanctification》 is also varied. The scripture you read has been tampered with countless times. Where is it still the original! What I am telling you now is from the original scripture!"

The Golden Dharma King laughed loudly: "Great Scripture Master Xun, do you think Old Jin is a three-year-old child? Does the 《Scripture of Universal Sanctification》 even write about what an 'Envoy of Divine Grace' is? There are multiple versions of the Fundamental Sutra, but they are only different in the habits of textual expression. There is not much difference. Old Jin has seen at least three versions of the scripture, but none of them have the sentence you said. You made that up on the spot, right!"

Xun Youshan's face flushed, obviously quite angry: "How can a Dharma Transmitter arbitrarily tamper with the scriptures! This sentence is from the seventh generation Sect Leader's finalized version of the scripture treasured in the main altar, not a single word is wrong. If you don't believe me, go to the main altar to check!"

The Golden Dharma King shook his head, feeling a little amused, and said casually: "So, your so-called 'correcting errors' is to unify the various versions of the Fundamental Sutra and make everyone believe in your so-called seventh generation Sect Leader's finalized version, right?"

Xun Youshan had a solemn expression: "That's right! Only by unifying the scriptures can we unify the followers, and the Divine Sect can be reborn!"

"Clap clap clap!"

The Golden Dharma King clapped and praised: "The Left Divine Envoy has good methods, worthy of being a strongman that even Old Jin is afraid of! Let's not talk about these things for now. Anyway, it's not clear. Old Jin still wants to ask one question. Since the Fundamental Sutra you mentioned requires the Envoy of Divine Grace to be recognized by Lord Candle Dragon, why did Dong Changfeng dare to directly assassinate them? Is this also in accordance with the Fundamental Sutra, also the so-called 'pure'?"

Xun Youshan said calmly: "Of course this is not in accordance with the requirements of the Fundamental Sutra. However, Xun has said that every Dharma Transmitter has their own thoughts. Perhaps Great Scripture Master Dong believes that these two people cannot possibly be Envoys of Divine Grace, and the sooner they are killed, the more beneficial it will be to the unification of the Divine Sect!"
