Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 186 The Debate Between Chan and Jie
The night is deep, the bright moon hangs high, and the stars are dazzling.

A gentle night breeze rustled through the bamboo grove, and the village lights were few and far between, exuding a sense of tranquility and seclusion.

Ma Xianhong led Mo Yu into a spacious side room.

Upon entering, he unhesitatingly pulled out a book he had prepared beforehand from the wooden cabinet beside him, with the words "Divine Strategist Refined" written on the cover.

He turned and handed it to Mo Yu, his tone calm: "Daoist Mo Yu, this is what you wanted."

The person behind him is Qu Tong, the president of Yaoxing Society. When it comes to intelligence, you can always trust the paparazzi.

Qu Tong, who knew that Ma Xianhong wanted to see Mo Yu, gave him a copy of the news of the Wang family's annihilation as soon as she got the information.

She certainly didn't want Ma Xianhong to be accidentally killed by Mo Yu.

"Thank you."

Mo Yu took the ancient book, casually flipped through a few pages, and glanced at the dense text and illustrations.

Although he wasn't interested in mechanical arts like divine mechanisms, one particular secret technique targeting the mind was quite appealing to him, like another application of the method of returning to one's senses.

In addition, there are some unique techniques for instantly refining objects.

Mo Yu's heart stirred. If he studied it carefully, he might be able to deduce the secret of the character "兵" (soldier).

He then added it to the chat group.

Too lazy to bother with it himself, Qin Shi is best at this kind of thing, so he can just take what's readily available.

Ma Xianhong stood to the side, his hands behind his back, quietly waiting for Mo Yu to turn the pages.

Until Mo Yu put his hands in his pockets, looked up and turned his gaze to the large stove in the center of the room: "Is this the reason you invited me to Biyou Village?"

“To be precise, it is one of the purposes,” Ma Xianhong said, standing next to Mo Yu. “You and I are both inheritors of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, and we have both inherited our unique skills through proper channels. However, we are coveted by the world because of this. It might be better if we stick together as a group.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Yu slightly raised his eyelids, continued to stare at the large furnace, but did not express his opinion.

For him, whether or not he joined a tour group was not of much significance.

Unless the Celestial Master intervenes, or the resources of the major sects can be mobilized, there is no ordinary method that he cannot handle.

More than that, he was curious about what the large furnace in front of him was used for.

He raised his hand and tapped the stove, making a crisp "clang" sound, and asked casually, "What's this thing for?"

Ma Xianhong understood his meaning but did not insist. Instead, he turned around and showed him his most prized achievement.

“I call it the ‘Cultivation Furnace’.” He raised his hand and gently stroked the furnace, his tone revealing a hint of pride. “Its function is very simple: to enable ordinary people to master the method of circulating qi.”

Ma Xianhong did not hold back, but generously showed Mo Yu the entire body-cultivating furnace.

Although no one was sent to use it, thanks to Ma Xianhong's explanation and the two cabins in front and behind the furnace,

Mo Yu could easily guess that the essence of this cultivation furnace was to use extraordinary people as templates to forcibly transplant the energy circulation within their bodies to ordinary people.

Ignoring qualifications, or rather, ignoring prerequisites, they forcibly constructed it!
"So that's how it is. Is this the new Jie Sect?"

Mo Yu chuckled lightly, his tone tinged with a hint of mockery: "Master Ma has quite the ambition, to 'seize a sliver of heavenly secrets' for the world."

Upon hearing these words, Ma Xianhong's heart sank.

He sensed a hint of disagreement in Mo Yu's tone, his brows furrowed slightly, and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes: "Why do you say that?"

Logically speaking, Mo Yu should not be the kind of person who is so proud of his own possessions and has deep-seated prejudices against sectarianism, so why does he have such an attitude towards the Body Cultivation Furnace?

Mo Yu, with his hands tucked in his pockets, slowly walked to the stove, his expression indifferent: "Is it possible that the Chan Sect's 'no transmission to anyone but a perfect person' is true, and that you and I are both perfect people?"

Ma Xianhong's eyes flickered; this was an answer he had never expected. Mo Yu glanced at him and continued, "I passed on the Tongtian Talisman to you not only because I coveted your divine wisdom and profound understanding, but also because you yourself are a supreme being."

"'It is not transmitted to anyone but to the most virtuous person; it will surely be transmitted to the most virtuous person.' This is the true meaning of the teachings."

The self-proclaimed orthodox Chan religion is not some worthless, cherished garbage; we simply understand—

The Great Way is merciless, showing no mercy to the mediocre!

Looking at the furnace, Mo Yu exclaimed, "To be able to utilize the divine mechanism to such a level, even with the influence of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, your talent is truly astonishing."

The tone shifted, her gaze turning cold, "But you're forcing ordinary people who aren't qualified to become superhumans to construct Qi circulation techniques within their bodies. Do you think that's for their own good?"

"What do you mean?" Ma Xianhong squinted.

He felt deeply disappointed because Mo Yu's path was different from his own.

But Lao Ma's character gives him the patience to listen to other people's ideas and the magnanimity to tolerate dissenting opinions. Even if the other party's words are harsh, he will not easily turn against them.

This is the embodiment of a truly exceptional person!
Mo Yu held up two fingers and shook them, his tone calm but his words sharp as knives: "So-called cultivation is nothing more than the two words 'nature' and 'life'."

"The first step in spiritual practice is called 'repairing the leaks,' which involves replenishing the damage that has occurred in the human body since birth, allowing the body to reach a healthy state free from illness and disaster."

"After patching up the leaks, the next step is to 'enter a state of tranquility,' whether it's sitting meditation, standing meditation, or practicing martial arts. In short, it's about using various methods to calm your mind and feel the primordial energy within your body."

Mo Yu withdrew his hand and put it back into his sleeve, his expression indifferent: "So, cultivation is not like in fantasy novels. It doesn't require spiritual roots or anything like that. Apart from those who are born with deficiencies, anyone can embark on the path of cultivation on their own."

"Talent does exist, and there are differences in strength among cultivation techniques, but this does not prevent one from entering the path of cultivation."

Ma Xianhong's expression gradually darkened, and he vaguely guessed what Mo Yu meant.

Mo Yu met his gaze calmly and continued, "In other words, apart from those who are born with congenital deficiencies, those who can't even get to the beginning are all because their mindset is problematic!"

"Either they can't even adjust their own routines and can't even make up for what's missing; or they have excessive greed, anger, and ignorance and can't enter a state of tranquility. Either way, they are not suitable for mastering extraordinary powers, especially the kind that can be mastered out of thin air without any effort."

He walked up to Ma Xianhong, patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously, "If you were to create a Heaven-Mending Furnace instead of a Body-Cultivating Furnace, to mend the defects of those with congenital deficiencies, I would help you. But a bunch of useless trash who can't even get started? Heh!"

"The example of the United States is enough to show that the statement 'everyone must have a gun to prevent chaos' is utter nonsense."

"Giving power to those who lack the mental fortitude to control it will only lead them to harm themselves and others!"

Before the words were even finished, Mo Yu's figure had already disappeared from the room.

Ma Xianhong remained silent, a complex expression flickering in his eyes.

He looked up at the cultivation furnace, remaining silent for a long time, his emotions surging like a tide, unable to calm down for a long time.

If Mo Yu tries to pressure him with rhetoric like population control limits, Lao Ma will completely ignore it.

However, Mo Yu's explanation of the Chan Sect's philosophy was something he could not refute.

Just like the Chan and Jie sects during the Shang and Zhou dynasties thousands of years ago, neither could convince the other.

The question is whether to first grant power, and then cultivate and control that power.

It is better to first acquire the ability to control power, and then to seize power.

Both paths have their advantages and disadvantages, and it's hard to say which one is better.

The former is significantly more efficient and can accelerate the development of society and civilization, but at the cost of sacrificing social stability, while the latter is the opposite.

From this perspective alone, Moyu is actually more in line with the company.
