Chapter 6862 Inverting Black and White

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

What are you doing?!

The disciples all shouted out, with some roaring fiercely. Even the female disciples from the Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning were taken aback. Over the years, no one had ever dared to attack anyone from the Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning, let alone their white-robe master.

Brat, you are courting death! the white-robe master shouted, unleashing a palm strike toward Yan Lis throat.

His actions stunned everyone. His attack was not only slow but also feeble. His palm disturbed the surrounding space. Even the little power behind his attack was poorly focused.

Yan Lis basic protective divine light blocked the attack easily; it didnt even make a ripple. The white-robe elder stumbled back several steps from his own failed strike.

Everyone was dumbfounded. This white-robe master was an acquired Divine Sovereign, so how was he so pitifully weak? If he hadnt attacked, they wouldnt have even known that such a weak acquired Divine Sovereign existed in this world.

Realizing they had been listening to a weakling talk about the Dao, the disciples suddenly felt insulted.

Werent all the masters of the Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning true experts on the martial path? How could this happen?

Dont get angry. My boss told me to hit you, Yan Li said. The boss said you are sick. He told me to hit you because of your illness.

What bullshit! roared the white-robe master.

Yan Li added, Boss also mentioned that if you tried to hit me, its due to your illness. Without this illness, why would you assault me?

What a load of absolute nonsense! How dare you humiliate me like this?! There will be no place for you in the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture! declared the white-robe master.

Chi Yutong and Xin Yu were both dumbfounded, looking from Yan Li to Long Chen. They didnt know why Long Chen would beat up the elder. He was making an enemy of the Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning.

Yan Li was also quite the odd fellow. His boss told him to hit someone, so he just did it without thinking about the consequences?

Just then, Long Chens indolent voice rang out as he walked up the stage.

Hey, dont make things hard on my brother!

He waved his hand for Yan Li to step back, then walked directly toward the elder.

Long Chen asked, Arent I just applying your theory? You claimed that outsider devils came to the nine heavens and ten lands because of our sins. If we didnt have sins, those devils wouldnt have come, right? I wanted to test out your theory, so why are you reacting so badly? After all, when you insulted everyone on the stage, none of the heavenly geniuses of the Northern Celestial Region said a word against you.

Who are you?! the white-robe master shouted, glaring at Long Chen like a viper.

He could now tell that Long Chen was clearly targeting him.

I am Long Chen, a nameless little person from the world of the nine heavens. As a member of the human race, I simply wish to know why you are slandering the Star Master and the human race. What motive do you have to make the human race bear the burden of sin? asked Long Chen.

Now that Long Chen said that, the disciples began to doubt the white-robe masters words as well.

Chi Yutong and Xin Yu exchanged a glance, suggesting that Long Chen's reason for striking the white-robe master was more complicated than it seemed.

The white-robe master snorted and replied, Im also a human. Im only telling the truth, and there is no slander. Humanity is greedy and violent, with desires that know no bounds. We must recognize and confront our flaws. Only by accepting ourselves can we truly understand who we are. Otherwise, how can one cultivate the Dao?

The white-robe master had suppressed his anger and cooled his head. He couldnt keep messing around.

Long Chen said, All things contain Yin and Yang, but you only see the shadowed side, not the light side. Beautiful things have always existed in this world. What you need is just a pair of eyes capable of recognizing that beauty.

The disciples stared at Long Chen, their curiosity rising. Was he planning on discussing the Dao with a master from the Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning?

The elder instantly regained his confidence upon realizing this. He sneered, You say that all things contain Yin and Yang. But in this era, the Yin side has eclipsed the Yang. You dont even know you have fallen onto the devil's path!

From Yin comes Yang. Isn't this the fundamental law of the Grand Dao? How does this relate to your so-called bad karma? The human race is just one of the ten thousand spirits. Why should humans bear all the sin? asked Long Chen.

This elder couldnt retort. The divine sons and daughters watched as sweat trickled down his forehead.

As the spirit of the ten thousand races, we naturally have a duty to guide the ten thousand races to the proper path! shouted the elder.

Long Chen replied, A great sage once said this: the Grand Dao is formless, giving birth to heaven and earth; the Grand Dao is emotionless, moving the sun and moon; the Grand Dao is nameless, nourishing all life.

The Grand Dao has its own laws, so how can the human race guide it?

Based on what you said, if we have to bear the sin, why does the Grand Dao need a pack of sinners to guide it? Are you trying to turn the Grand Dao into a garbage dump?

Normally, Dao discussions were serious, but quite a few people laughed at what Long Chen said.

The white-robe elders face turned red. He was used to leading long Dao discussions, but now that he was losing, he couldnt think as clearly.

Unable to think of a retort, the elder shouted, A sage of mankind? It is because you fools venerated those so-called sages and turned their words into holy texts that the human race ended up on a false path! Those sages also said that their followers would be humble, well-fed, have moderate ambition, and strong backbones. However, they simply wanted to trick the ignorant masses into following them! They were just hypocrites exploiting the world!

The spectators were startled. After all, they had been pondering these words for countless years without understanding them.

Long Chen smiled faintly. Can a frog at the bottom of a well speak of the sea? Can a summer bug speak of winter? You have no respect for your ancestors, so how can you understand their intention? You are so sanctimonious and shameful that all you see is darkness. With those eyes, how can you see anything beautiful?

To have humility is to be in a state of openness, willing to accept everything within heaven and earth. How can you be so arrogant to call yourself a white-robe master to seduce others

Hearing that, everyone twitched, and their gazes shifted toward the female disciples who had come with the elder.

Long Chen continued, To be well-fed does not mean to do nothing once youre full. Only once you satisfy your hunger can you focus on achieving more. You should hunger for more knowledge.

Moderate ambition refers to being able to see past your own desires. Those consumed by ambition are those with limitless greed.

A strong backbone is not meant to turn people into laborers with tough bodies, but is a blessing so that humans can have enough strength to do what they should do.

This elaboration by Long Chen enlightened the disciples on what the sages words eant.

He seems used to this kind of thing. Its like hes the true master, said Xin Yu.

Chi Yutong nodded, not expecting this. Long Chen seemed like a completely different person now.

Boss is incredible! Yan Li exclaimed, staring at Long Chen worshipfully.

Long Chen continued, The ignorant believed that these words meant a person should be a mindless laborer with no ambition or desires. The ignorant think themselves wise. But when people see through this shallow meaning, they will gain profound power. At that level, there will be no need for anyone to govern this world. Thus, that sage said that a group of dragons has no head!

The white-robe master stared furiously at Long Chen as applause erupted for Long Chen. He couldnt think of a single word to say.

Long Chen raised his hand to halt the crowd and said, In reality, thats just one perspective. That sages words might seem simple in that regard. However, theres another aspect tied to cultivation. Sadly, I dare not try to explain that deeper layer for fear of offending the sage. Maybe someone destined can try to comprehend it.

After saying that, Long Chen stared at the white-robe master and unleashed his killing intent.

You intentionally twisted history and blasphemed the Nine Star Master. He fought for all living beings of the nine heavens, striving to break the cage imprisoning heaven and earth. His goal was to bring freedom and create a future for everyone. Yet, you erased his achievements and slandered him of being the source of outsider devils. You claim we are all sinners, but do you even recognize your own sins? Do you understand why you deserve death?

You you!

The white-robe master froze, locked down by Long Chens killing intent. His jaw moved, but he couldnt speak.

Let alone a scholar who had never killed anyone before, even an expert from the battlefield couldnt necessarily handle Long Chens killing intent.

Just then, a ripple spread, and the white-robe master regained his freedom.

Friend, why are you targeting my Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learnings white-robe master? Arent you a bit too arrogant?

A middle-aged man in violet robes and a sword on his back appeared on the stage.

A violet-robe master?! startled cries rang out.

Friend, the masters of my Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning are all proper gentlemen. If you have different opinions, you can discuss them on the Dao discussion stage. Why use martial might to force someone to submit to your will? You only embarrass yourself. If you do not give me a proper explanation for this, dont even think about leaving here alive.

Proper gentlemen? Long Chen scoffed. "Ask that proper gentleman of yours if hes slept with every single one of those women!

What?!

Everyone stared at the white-robe master in shock. When they looked at the group of women from the Heavenly Magnificence Palace of Learning, their eyes widened. Could it really be true?

Those women had never been stared at like this before. They all turned pale, and their legs shook. Their reactions almost seemed like a confession.

Lies! All lies! shouted the white-robe elder in a panic.

I can testify that every single one of these women carries that old mans aura! Xin Yu stood and announced her findings, causing an uproar.
