1579 The Debate Between Shi Ying and Wu Cai, Why Can’t I Beat The Sh*t Out of You Here?

"Who else wants to come up and debate me?"

The wealthy monk scanned his gaze over the rest of the monks. Although the monks he stared at were furious, they dared not step forward to debate with him as he was very eloquent and knew the Buddhist classics well.

The most important thing was that even though he claimed to be a member of the Buddhist world, he scoffed at the Buddhas and did not have the slightest reverence for the Buddha. Besides being disrespectful with his words, all the questions he asked were highly tricky. It made those who debated with him speechless, and they were not his opponents at all.

"I heard Guanyin's successor is in the Euphoria Pure Land and has profound in Dharma. If you guys dare not come forward, why don't you ask her to come and discuss the Dao with me?" the wealthy monk said.

Those words put everyone in a difficult position.

Guanyin's successor, Shi Ying, was the most outstanding person among the young generation of Euphoria Pure Land. If she could show up, she might be able to deal with the wealthy monk.

Unfortunately, Shi Ying was reflecting on her sins and could not be there.

"Amitabha, did you want to see me?"

At that moment, an indifferent voice sounded.

A woman in white with beautiful facial features was approaching slowly.

She was surrounded by harmonious qi, and white lotus flowers bloomed in her wake as a Holy Purity intent filled the entire space.

Many monks exclaimed when they saw that scene.

"It's Guanyin's successor. She has emerged."

"Isn't she supposed to be reflecting on her sins for a hundred years? Why is she out so soon?"

"Alas, since the debate on Buddha this time is related to the Euphoria Pure Land's dignity, Guanyin's successor is sacrificing herself by pardoning herself earlier."

All the monks were engaged in a heated discussion.

As Shi Ying came to the dais, a white lotus bloomed in front of her. Then, she sat on the lotus seat with an indifferent expression, and her gaze was as calm as water. "Please!"

"Interesting."

The wealthy monk put away his idle expression and said solemnly, "I'm Wu Cai. Glad to meet you, Buddhist Sister."

"Wu Cai? I couldn't have guessed," Shi Ying said while looking at Wu Cai, who was richly bejeweled.

"They are merely worldly possessions." Wu Cai smiled.

Soon, the two began to debate Buddhism.

For a moment, both of them were eloquent and knew the Buddhist classics well. Although there were no beacons and gunsmoke, their debate was no easier than battles.

In fact, the debate was far more dangerous.

The greatest thing about the battles between cultivators was not their Immortal bodies would be beaten to pieces but the injuries to the physical body.

On the contrary, the debate on Buddhism involved the cultivators' fundamental Dao. If one was careless, his or her Daoist core might collapse.

"The Buddha says that all beings are equal, yet the Five Karmic Categorization exists. Isn't this contradictory?" asked Wu Cai.

The philosophy of Buddhism was that all beings were equal, but the Buddhist world's Five Karmic Categorization divided people into all beings, monks, Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas!

That was simply contradicting.

Upon hearing that, Shi Ying said calmly, "The Buddhist world's Five Karmic Categorization refers to changes in a spiritual sense, not status change. All beings are equal, and nobody's life is more important than the other."

"The Buddha says, repent and be absolved of one's crimes. May I ask, if an executioner repents, does it mean he's a Buddha?" Wu Cai asked again.

"Buddhas sit in one's heart, so the person that realizes this can be a Buddha."

"So, what do you mean is that as long as the executioner is enlightened, he will be a Buddha?"

"Yes."

"That's ridiculous. If an executioner becomes a Buddha, what about the innocent people he has killed? Do they die in vain?"

"Everyone can become a Buddha, but for those who become Buddhas, their evil obstacles cannot be eliminated. Becoming a Buddha is a spiritual realization. Repent and be absolved of one's crimes means that as soon as one has become a Buddha, he must be responsible for his evil obstacles," said Shi Ying.

"Can the unrepentant people in the universe be saved if they disregard the lives of common people and wantonly kill living beings?"

"All living beings can be saved, but it's the same as the former. Becoming a Buddha does not mean those evil obstacles will be eliminated."

"In that case, what if one is unrepentant? What if he cannot be saved? If he insists on turning the human world into Ashura Hell, do you still save him?"

As Wu Cai kept asking, his words became as sharp as knives.

Shi Ying sat down with her legs crossed, and her gaze was calm. "My Buddha has a compassionate heart and lightning technique. Those unrepentant people should be suppressed with lightning!"

Wu Cai's heart shuddered, and he felt a chill down his spine.

However, he then sneered. "That will be a crime. Are you still a Buddha then?"

"If I don't enter hell, who will? Killing one person to save more people is a great merit."

The two continued debating and did not give in.

Soon, Wu Cai could not think of any question to embarrass Shi Ying with.

Shi Ying's level was completely different from the opponents he met previously.

She was extraordinary.

At that moment, Wu Cai thought of something and said, "Dharma is about eradicating desires, but I heard that you voluntarily reflected your sins for a hundred years because your mortal heart was once moved. Is this true?"

"Yes, that's true."

Shi Ying did not hide the fact and admitted it.

"Heh, I heard the person who moved your mortal heart was Chu Kuangren. Is it true?"

"Is this related to the Buddhism debate?"

"Why is it not related? As far as I know, Chu Kuangren possesses Papiyas Might, which is the enemy of Buddhas. If your mortal heart is moved by the Buddhas' enemy, you're not worthy of being a Buddhist. What makes Euphoria Pure Land think they can send you over to debate with me? So, was your mortal heart moved by Chu Kuangren?" asked Wu Cai.

He wanted to use that matter to deal a blow to Shi Ying's Buddhist heart as it was the reason why she decided to reflect on her sins for a hundred years.

It was her weakness!

Shi Ying furrowed her brows, not knowing how to answer.

"Buddhists do not lie. Shi Ying, don't you try to deceive me. Even if you can deceive others, can you deceive your Buddhist heart?"

"Tell me quickly. Were you moved by Chu Kuangren?!" Wu Cai continued asking.

Shi Ying took a deep breath. Just as she was about to answer, an overwhelming burst of domineering might came from the sky, causing all monks' expressions to change.

"This domineering might… Who is this?"

"What powerful might!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the source of the domineering might.

A young man dressed in white, with a handsome look and Green Lotus Mark on his forehead, was gliding across the air.

Shi Ying was astonished to see the young man, and there was also a hint of joy in her eyes that she did not even notice.

"It's none of your business whom she's attracted to!"

An indifferent voice sounded.

Following that, a gigantic palm formed by a violent Immortal's Core descended from the sky and crashed toward Wu Cai!

"What?!"

Wu Cai's expression changed. Then, a burst of Buddhist Light released from his body and turned into a golden flying dragon in the sky!

Boom!

As the gigantic palm collided with the flying dragon, the Immortal's core energy spread in all directions.

Wu Cai was sent flying backward from the violent impact. Having been hit, his Immortal body shook, and he looked at the person who came with a terrified expression. "Who is it? Who dares to make a move here?!"

"Why can't I beat the sh*t out of you here?"

The indifferent and domineering voice sounded again, and Chu Kuangren arrived above the dais, looking at Wu Cai with a condescending glare.

The surrounding monks, who recognize the person who came, were shocked.
