Sect Recruitment: I Can See Attribute Entries

Chapter 707: Chapter 708: Together Toward the Great Righteousness in Our Hearts

Inside Tianyan Sect’s main hall.

The Buddhist sect side was completely silent. Most Buddhas looked at Chu Xingchen with incredulous gazes.

This one point—promoting Small Vehicle Buddhist Teachings was equivalent to striking against Mahayana Buddhist Teachings.

This was far more effective than declaring Mahayana Buddhist Teachings as evil doctrine, and the Buddhist sect’s influence would become even larger... even deeply rooted among mortals.

Without a doubt, this was a great gift.

A gift that even the Great Thunder Temple of the past couldn’t have imagined.

A gift so great that even some Buddhas felt there must be a trick.

So great that Runan didn’t dare to accept it immediately.

Chu Xingchen looked at the silent Buddhist sect, leisurely standing up with Xie Lingyu’s support, his gaze toward the Buddhas:

”This isn’t a small matter either, Honored Buddha. How about letting a few Buddhas consider it properly, and you and I take this time to talk privately?”

After he spoke, the silence grew longer, more soundless.

Even breathing sounds were barely audible.

Runan looked at Chu Xingchen for a moment but didn’t agree to this matter either.

Xie Lingyu’s gaze was tightly fixed on Chu Xingchen, her hand subconsciously gripping his arm tightly.

Although Chu Xingchen had told her that Runan would absolutely not make a move against him under any circumstances—even if he went out and pointed at Runan’s nose and called him a bald donkey.

Making a move against Chu Xingchen was equivalent to the Buddhist sect’s complete end. Runan would absolutely not let that happen.

Even if someone did make a move against Chu Xingchen, he had the Xuanqing Heavenly Sect’s supreme treasure protecting him, and he was still within Tianyan Sect. There were no injuries in his body, and Bai Xuanling was within Tianyan Sect, able to arrive in the blink of an eye. He would absolutely be safe.

But reasoning was reasoning, and worry was worry.

Even if Chu Xingchen’s guesses could convince her rationality ten thousand times, the worry in her heart could make her stop Chu Xingchen ten million times.

But Chu Xingchen said this was something that had to be done.

Xie Lingyu sometimes also hated herself—neither purely stupid nor smart enough to be at the peak.

Understanding that what Chu Xingchen said was right and that she should support him doing it, but also understanding the possible risks involved, the worry in her heart would surge like tides.

The next moment, Chu Xingchen reached back and held Xie Lingyu’s hand.

Xie Lingyu looked at the gentle smile on Chu Xingchen’s face, her thoughts firming, then nodded gently.

She also understood that sometimes firm support was the right thing to do.

Not dragging him down had always been Xie Lingyu’s bottom line.

Chu Xingchen looked at Xie Lingyu’s determined eyes, feeling warmth in his heart. His gaze turned to Runan with a smile:

”Is the Honored Buddha worried that I might harm you?”

Runan also stood up at these words, smiling lightly:

”Just worried about Fellow Daoist’s slightly recovering body.”

Chu Xingchen stood, gesturing for Runan to go outside the hall:

”With the Honored Buddha here, naturally nothing will happen to me.”

Runan followed Chu Xingchen outside the hall.

His gaze admired Chu Xingchen’s back to the extreme.

Between life and death, even with a one-in-ten-thousand chance, some people were terrified.

Facing it directly—that was the pinnacle of the mortal realm, the world’s prodigies.

With just this boldness from Chu Xingchen, Runan naturally wouldn’t back down either.

Inside the hall, everyone’s gaze watched the two walking outside.

Sunlight slanted down, the light illuminating their figures like fire.

Yanyun looked on with hope, watching Chu Xingchen’s free and calm back, smiling lightly as she conversed with Runan beside her.

In her heart, she could only sigh—Xie Lingyu’s vision was truly outstanding.

Among the world’s prodigies, who could not be suppressed by Chu Xingchen?

The two walked outside the hall and continued walking slowly forward.

Outside the hall door, all of Tianyan Sect’s disciples watched with wide, terrified eyes as the two strolled like good friends chatting.

Chu Xingchen gazed at the sky, sighing lightly:

”I never expected to have the opportunity to casually chat with the Honored Buddha like this.”

Runan no longer used the honorific title, also nodding with a light smile:

”Neither did I.”

His gaze looked at Chu Xingchen. The people who made him feel disgusted and troublesome were indeed not easy to deal with—all had outstanding charm.

It was just that when they were opponents, it made people hate them.

”There’s a saying in the mortal realm—no discord, no concord. It seems fitting at this moment.” Chu Xingchen smiled at Runan. ”Actually, I never intended to target the Buddhist sect. It was just that there were reasons at that time. After all, the Honored Buddha also knows that the pressure on me isn’t light. I can’t easily trust anyone.”

Runan nodded gently, his tone carrying some guilt:

”It is so. In the end, our Buddhist sect did have demons infiltrate, which also put Fellow Daoist in danger. But I sat in this position, and there were things I couldn’t say. Today, since I’m speaking privately with Fellow Daoist, let me apologize.”

”If the Honored Buddha speaks, what else is there to say? Forgiven, then.” Chu Xingchen smiled. ”Since the Honored Buddha is so frank, then I should also be frank.”

”Actually, at first, I also considered putting forward many conditions to the Buddhist sect. After all, I understood that the probability of the Honored Buddha refusing me wasn’t high.”

”But then I remembered the temples standing tall in the Western Niu Continent.”

”Regardless of the current situation, I also understand that back then, it was the Buddhist sect that sheltered the Western Niu Continent’s people from wind and rain, blocking demons and evil.”

”I’m willing to believe that today’s Buddhist sect still has a compassionate heart, a true wish to protect the peace of all people.”

Chu Xingchen’s tone was extremely sincere, his gaze toward Runan seeming to have light as he continued:

”I understand that the Buddhist sect has the Buddhist sect’s difficulties, and the Honored Buddha has the Honored Buddha’s difficulties. Sometimes it’s not that the Honored Buddha doesn’t want to, but can’t.”

”I’ve met Radiant Buddha, also talked with Wukong, and have a close relationship with Buddhist Son Yuankong.”

”They study Buddhist scriptures thoroughly, have light in their hearts, and hold the world’s peace.”

”The Honored Buddha is a Karma Buddha. The principles they understand, I believe the Honored Buddha also understands. It’s just that sometimes, forced by circumstances, you have to act.”

”In your position, you plan for your position. The Honored Buddha must lead the Buddhist sect and naturally cannot be swayed by emotions.”

”So... if I want to, if I can help the Honored Buddha, share some of the Honored Buddha’s current burden.”

”The Buddhist path and Daoist path ultimately share the same source, both for the sake of ascending to immortality. There should be less prejudice.”

”Allowing the Honored Buddha to reorganize the Buddhist sect, making other immortal sects more accepting of the Buddhist sect.”

”Perhaps the Buddhist sect that was willing to shelter the Western Niu Continent back then will reappear.”

”As for Radiant Buddha, I also believe the Honored Buddha truly doesn’t want to drive him to extinction. So today, what I’ve done should all be what the Honored Buddha wants most in his heart.”

”This is my reason for doing these things today.”

”Because I believe that the great righteousness in the Honored Buddha’s heart is certainly no smaller than mine, and no less than mine.”

Runan stood in place upon hearing this, looking at the sincere expression on Chu Xingchen’s face, his heart’s emotions beyond words, speechless for a long time.

The face that once looked hateful and disgusting.

At this moment was truly extremely pleasing to the eye.

These words were also extremely sincere. The one who accepts the tribulation, the Child of Heaven’s Fortune, was truly...

Chu Xingchen looked at Runan, then finally reached out his hand:

”Fellow Daoist, shall we together pursue the great righteousness in our hearts and relieve the suffering of all living beings in the world?”

Runan looked at Chu Xingchen’s extended hand, the emotions in his heart even harder to describe.

With Runan’s cultivation, as long as he grasped this hand, he would naturally be able to know Chu Xingchen’s current condition and cultivation.

Compared to the words before.

This hand showed even more sincerity.
