Chapter 435 Determination (2/2)
The sincerity of the masses touched Qing Xuan and Shen Jin's disciple, Chen Jin Chan, personally came forward to appease the practitioners outside the mountain. Thus came this message, Shen Lian had already put out a letter of challenge and invited the Demonic Order leader Yan Xu to a Bier Discourse of Dao on the third day of the third month next year.
The letter of the challenge seemed to have garnered a response from Yan Xu and the Demonic Order's activity seemed to have lessened significantly thereon.
The undercurrents of Yuen Continent remain hidden and waiting, to see the unparalleled talents of two generations from Qing Xuan, and what the results would be after Mount Bier Fang Cun's Discourse of Dao.

'Heroes reverses an overwhelming adverse situation, kings rebuilt the country, the saints could create a religion to continue their thoughts.” Shen Lian said in the bamboo house on Taiyi Peak.
Puzzled, Chen Jin Lu asked him from behind: ”does master think the leader of the Demonic Order is a saint?”
Shen Lian was writing on a scroll, with no intention to drop his pen nor to look back, he said: ”there is not much difference between being a demon or being a saint, in the end, all they want is to change the minds of people, the real difference lies in the methods used.”
Chen Jin Zhao replied in a heartbeat, ”then is master also a saint?”
Shen Lian laughed silently and playfully said: ”I am but a human.”
Chen Jinmao said: ”I am still confused. They have all said that master has already visited the celestial environment and have discarded the mortal realm. Why does master say you are human?”
Suddenly Shen Lian was struck with inspiration, and his pen fell on paper like snow on the ground, the pen etched without pause and two lines of words were written. He placed the pen down and said: ”What do you think is human?”
Instinctively, Chen Jin Chan began to counter with an explanation that a human had to have a head and feet and was capable of walking upright to be considered as such, but immediately realized that was not the context of what was being exchanged, because not only humans but powerful demons too possessed the shape of a human, or were humanoid.
He shook his head and said: ”I do not know.”
Shen Lian asked: 'Then do you think you are ”human”?'
Chen Jin Luo replied: ”but of course.”
Shen Lian said softly: ”Then why would you say you don't know.”
Chen Jin Luo said: ”I do not know where to start.”
Shen Lian casually turned around and said: ”the Confucians have a saying that is widely known and used, 'A steady mind for the world, determination for the people, constantly learning for the sake of sainthood, and peace for all ages'. You should have studied it when you first came.”
Chen Jin Lua nodded his head, he had studied whatever Shen Lian required him to study. Although the knowledge of the Crystal Ball of the Noble Witch was vast, there was still much knowledge left to be desired.
Of course, he did not understand enough, many of the books he studied were compiled by Shen Lian and his combined views of two worlds. The knowledge was not only limited to this world alone.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
Shen Lian further explained: ”Most words in these four phrases can be disregarded. But, the world phrase 'determination' is the essence of it all and the most fundamental part of a 'human'.”
