Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

There is clear air surging above and heavenly music singing.

As bells and drums rang, black birds soared in the sky and heavenly soldiers and generals filled the sky.

Below is the Bodhi wisdom light and the Buddhist sound of Zen.

The Kāla Vajra chanted the Buddha's name, and the numerous pagodas seemed like a Buddhist kingdom.

Xuan Yi looked at the scene of being attacked from both sides by gods and Buddhas with a solemn expression.

The green lotus transformed by Jiang Shengdaoyun was so shaky in the divine light and Buddhist sound that it was about to collapse and was about to collapse.

Xuan Yi wanted to take action to stop Jiang Sheng so that Jiang Sheng would have a chance to fight back.

It is hard to say whether all the Xuanmen in this chaotic universe are of the same path, but the three Taoist sects in these three realms are truly of the same blood.

The nebula behind Xuan Yi gathered and dispersed, and the image of the Milky Way's rotation was already showing signs of happening.

Jiang Sheng naturally sensed Xuan Yi's good intentions and shook his head slightly at Xuan Yi. Xuan Yi understood what Jiang Sheng meant and immediately restrained himself: Jiang Sheng still had the strength to spare, so there was no rush.

But Jiang Sheng smiled slightly, not worried at all about the green lotus that was about to break.

"The gods and immortals are of one spirit, this statement is true."

"The lotus's interior and exterior, its white lotus root and green platform, are all natural."

"But the words of the immortals are ethereal, the words of the gods are solemn, the immortals are detached, and the gods are condensed and encircled."

Jiang Sheng's expression was neither hurried nor slow. Although the green lotus showed signs of decline under the attack of the gods and Buddhas, it never collapsed completely.

As Jiang Sheng slowly explained the difference between immortals and gods, the clear and indifferent voice dissipated into the distance, turning into wisps of green light that wandered around the green lotus, like a galaxy in chaos, diffusing and transforming into the interior of the universe.

At this time, the green lotus stretched out slowly, like the expansion of the universe, stretching out pieces of starlight, and gradually forming a round and self-consistent domain, blocking out the divine light, wisdom, Buddhist music and heavenly music.

Jiang Sheng looked at Ye Wenshu, and then at Fahui.

Ye Wenshu gestured with her hand, asking Jiang Sheng to continue.

Fahui nodded slightly, waiting for Jiang Sheng to continue.

Kong Zhen, Jin Qiong and Xuan Yi were also waiting for Jiang Sheng to continue expounding on his own legal principles, wanting to hear Jiang Sheng's understanding of the heaven and earth, immortals, gods and Buddhas, and the Tao.

Jiang Sheng did not hesitate and said with a smile: "The immortal way is far away, the god way is vast, the ghost way is joyful, and the Buddhist way is prosperous."

"As for the way of God, I have seen its form, and as for the way of Buddha, I have also seen its trace."

"And, for the time being, I will just share my humble opinion and explain Taiyi."

As Jiang Sheng opened his mouth, Fahui and Ye Wenshu both raised their eyebrows. Can he describe Taiyi?

"Mysterious means mysterious."

"It is said that the celestial phenomena are the door to all wonders, encompassing everything."

"The way to immortality comes from this, transforming into three thousand forms and three thousand sects."

"The Three Realms are divided into the three realms of heaven, earth and man. The merits of Taoism are also divided into three levels of heaven, earth and man."

"The way of the Celestial Immortal is pure Yang, the true fruit of the Mysterious Sect, also known as the Taiyi Celestial Immortal."

"However, Xuanmen is not limited to the path of heavenly immortals. Monsters who achieve the right fruit are also immortals, and gods who see nature are also immortals."

"It is said to embrace the myriad, transform the mysterious into the myriad wonders, give birth to the three thousand infinite, and follow the natural rhythm of the Tao."

"Gods are those who are granted authority and ceremonial weapons by heaven, and they are the ones who honor heaven. Demons are not human beings, nor are they side branches of the Tao, but are spiritual beings."

"Those who practice the Mysterious School and seek the Righteous Fruition can be called Taiyi Immortals or Taiyi Demon Immortals. They are also one of the Three Thousand Righteous Paths and belong to the Ten Thousand Dharma Streams."

Fahui listened to Jiang Sheng's words and felt something was wrong. He seemed to know what Jiang Sheng meant.

Jiang Sheng continued, "I once read the scriptures of gods and Buddhas, realized the principles of heaven, studied Bodhi, and combined the mysterious way to achieve my own achievements."

"The way of the world is to be in harmony with the inner self, to understand nature, to be in harmony with the nature and to have a clear mind. When the true mind is quiet and all laws are open, one can become an immortal."

"The path to Bodhi is neither the path of diamond nor the path of lapis lazuli. It is the combination of the two paths into one."

"This is called the Buddha, the Perfect Enlightenment. The Buddha said, 'Anuttara Samyaksambodhi' is the supreme fruit, the supreme enlightenment, the supreme vehicle."

“But he still has the same mysterious and magical powers as before, so he can be called the Great Awakening Celestial Being, or the Great Yi Zhengjue.”

The Immortal of Righteousness? !
Jiang Sheng really dares to say that!
Not to mention that Fahui was stunned for a moment, Ye Wenshu's heart skipped a beat when she heard it, and she seemed to have thought of something.

Then, Ye Wenshu thought of His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven: This Majesty came from the Xuanmen Taoism, entered the way of gods, obtained the methods of immortals and gods, and certified the true yang of the Dao.

So is this Majesty a fairy or a god?

neither!
The Jinque Heavenly Emperor is the Jinque Heavenly Emperor. He is not the Immortal Emperor or the God Emperor, but the Heavenly Emperor.

And everything that Emperor Jinque did, including connecting with Bodhisattvas, pacifying the demon tribe, and uniting immortals and Buddhas, was done to integrate the forces of the four directions, and there was no bias towards any sect.

As long as they can be used by me, I don’t care about gods, Buddhas, demons or immortals.

Jiang Sheng's thoughts are somewhat consistent with those of Emperor Jinque.

No wonder His Majesty likes Jiang Sheng.

Ye Wenshu pondered and looked at Jiang Sheng again, with a hint of admiration in her eyes. After all, it was Jiang Sheng. His talent and insight really made her like him.

After all, although Ye Wenshu had fought with Jiang Sheng several times, she actually had no ill feelings towards Jiang Sheng.

The previous fights were just because each served his own master and had to be responsible for his own school of thought.

Jiang Sheng is a man of unrivalled talent and intelligence. He is also a man of his word, trustworthy and righteous, and has a broad mind and compassion for the common people.

Therefore, even if they were rivals, they would still admire Jiang Sheng. Moreover, Ye Wenshu and Jiang Sheng were not rivals at the moment. Looking at the green lotus surrounded by gods and Buddhas, Ye Wenshu knew very well that the green lotus seemed fragile and could die at any time, but it had been standing there tenaciously under the suppression of herself and Fahui, and could not be broken even by the mighty gods.

As Jiang Sheng continued to expound on his own way and principles, and used the methods of gods and Buddhas to spread the way of Xuanmen, the vast green air came from all directions. Under the blessing of Jiang Sheng's Taoism and the mysterious spirits of heaven and earth, it became more and more stable. Now it not only laid a solid foundation, but also began to absorb the power of gods and Buddhas and feed back to itself.

This method really resembles the scene performed by the three people before, using the technique of spiritual light and inner vision to virtualize the cave to compete.

They are both suppressed and attacked by the power of gods and Buddhas, and they also use the power of gods and Buddhas to nourish themselves.

This has little to do with magical powers or techniques. It is simply that Jiang Sheng’s understanding and explanation of the Tao is better than theirs.

This is the heart of Tao.

Ye Wenshu remembered that she had heard someone say in the past that Jiang Sheng's spiritual heart was pure and lofty, rather than the supreme state of indifference.

Now it seems that this statement is absolutely correct.

From the bottom of her heart, Ye Wenshu really liked Jiang Sheng. It had nothing to do with love, but more of admiration. It was like she had seen another self in the world, like she had seen that imaginary existence.

At this moment, the green lotus became more and more dazzling and brilliant. Surrounded by countless green fairy spirits, it showed the beginning of chaos and the gestation of the universe, embracing all things and encompassing the universe.

Be it Ye Wenshu's heavenly soldiers and generals or Western Dharma Wisdom's Kala-Vajra, at this moment they were immersed in it like a drop in the ocean, not even causing a ripple.

Does the immortal way embrace everything?

No, this is Jiang Sheng’s way.

Taoists value nature. The heaven and the earth are yin and yang, and yin and yang transform chaos into one, accommodating all things in mystery.

Jiang Sheng's Tao has already shown the unity of yin and yang.

This Taoist achievement is indeed not an ordinary Xuanmen Taiyi, but a Taiyi Dao that belongs unique to Jiang Sheng.

The two of them could no longer suppress Jiang Sheng.

"Ah"

Ye Wenshu chuckled and waved her hand to disperse the strange phenomenon in the sky.

Under the pressure of the two men, they failed to suppress Jiang Sheng in one go, and instead allowed him to launch a counterattack, which meant they had already lost.

She was too disdainful to continue the stalemate.

When Fahui saw Ye Wenshu stop, she couldn't help but sigh.

It would be fine if Ye Wenshu was willing to continue, but since Ye Wenshu had stopped, there was no need for him to insist. Continuing would only make things worse.

Fahui and Jiang Sheng rarely exchanged ideas. Originally, the ways of Buddha and Immortal were similar to "people with different paths cannot work together", but the relationship between Fahui and Jiang Sheng was not hostile.

In fact, it was not just Fahui. Guanghe, Guanghui and Guangwen from the Jinchan Temple had competed with Jiang Sheng more than once. However, the relationship between them could not be said to be bad. It could even be said that they were both enemies and friends.

Both Jinchan Temple and Tianlong Temple sent people to Jiang Sheng's Lianxu Ceremony. Those who could not come also sent congratulatory gifts and explained the reasons.

Jiang Sheng knew why these people didn't come, and Fahui naturally knew it too.

Guanghe, the leader of the six wisdom Buddhist disciples in the Golden Zen Temple and the one with a delicate Buddha heart, was sent by the Golden Cicada Bodhisattva of the Golden Zen Temple to the Shaoguang Realm to discuss the Dao with his fellow practitioners of the Liuli Dao.

Obviously, Jinchan Temple had a tacit understanding with the person in Heaven to some extent, otherwise Jinchan Temple would not be allowed to interfere in the affairs of Shaoguang Realm.

As for Fahui, if he also went to Shaoguang Realm, it would be enough to leave Guanghe and the monks of Mingguang Temple speechless.

When it comes to Buddhist debate, Fahui is confident that he is not inferior to anyone else.

But to be honest, he still prefers to come to Jiang Sheng to discuss philosophy and fight with him.

From the perspective of opponents, Jiang Sheng is definitely the type they don't want to meet. He has a firm heart and superb magical powers, and is really difficult to mess with.

But from a friend's perspective, although Jiang Sheng is a little aloof, his credibility and character are obvious to everyone, and it is extremely comfortable to get along with him.

Therefore, the geniuses of the last thousand years all had good relationships with Jiang Sheng, and Fahui was one of them.

Moreover, through this discussion, Fahui saw more things: Lingyuan of the new generation of Xuanmen Taoism is different from the previous generation.

The relationship between Taoism and Heaven is indeed closer.

Taoism truly deserves to be the biggest supporter of Heaven. If the immortals and gods were really allowed to merge, Buddhism would really find it difficult to cope with it.

Fortunately, it is too difficult for immortals and gods to merge, since Taoism already has two Heavenly Masters.

Moreover, the next generation of my Western Paradise Buddhist sect is much stronger than the next generation of Taoism.

Thinking about the performance of the younger generations this time, Pu Xing defeated the Taoists, the demon clan, and the unorthodox sects to win the championship, which greatly increased the reputation of Buddhism.

It is true that Taoists are stronger in this generation, but it is hard to say about the next generation and the next generation.

The Buddha had already made preparations and was only waiting for a suitable opportunity to preach the Dharma in the world and promote Buddhism in the West.

Nowadays, Taoism is flourishing and is still rising. After it reaches its peak, it will inevitably decline, just like the rising and setting of the sun and the moon, the ebb and flow of the tides. This is inevitable.

At that time, it will be time for Buddhism to flourish.

As he pondered over it, Fahui also removed the Bodhi vision.

Ye Wenshu saw it clearly, so how could Fahui not see it clearly?
In this discussion of Taoism, Jiang Sheng's Taoism is more profound and better than his Buddhist teachings.

If you lose, you lose. Fahui is not someone who can’t let go.

Chanting a Buddhist chant to Jiang Sheng, Fahui said, "This time, Donor Lingyuan is better."

Jiang Sheng shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just a tie, not a win."

"The way to discuss the Dao is to use one's own Dao practice to evolve the principles, transform into strange phenomena, perform inspiration, and conduct deduction. It may be elegant, but victory or defeat ultimately depends on magical powers and techniques." (End of this chapter)
