Chapter 759: Chapter Fifty Three: Paradox

The most important aspect of a school’s continued existence is a core theory that explains and supports itself. How could Zen, which ranks among the Heaven Sect, be stumped by a question from Tang Luo?

“Master Tang is correct. Not only the small monk, but even the wisest among the human race have not yet found immortality. But does it not exist just because we haven’t reached it?” Yankong replied lightly, “Eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind; color, sound, scent, taste, touch, and thought are all but empty phenomena. They blind you, just like a pitch-black room. If I say there’s a hammer, however much you widen your eyes in the dark, you won’t see your hand in front of you, and all you can say is that you can’t see. But what if I light a candle?”

“Although Zen has not reached immortality, it is the closest to immortality among the sacred Heaven Sect. What all our Zen predecessors have done is like lighting a faint glow in a vast field of immortality. If one day, immortality appears, which school would discover it first?”

“You’ve talked too much. Just say you haven’t achieved it. Why are you boastfully claiming that you can guide him to the other shore?”

Tang Luo furrowed his brows, questioning, “You’re too eager to guide others when you haven’t even found the way yourself. Aren’t you misleading them?”

“Though we haven’t arrived, we aren’t far off. Are you so certain, Master Tang, that this monk won’t reach it?”

“You’ve never even been there! How would you know how far off you are? Stop talking nonsense!”

Tang Luo, who has been a human being for two lives, knew perfectly well how life worked. Yankong’s inspiring nonsense could only deceive the young and inexperienced.
