As Yu Yuan finished speaking, a hush fell over Immortal Island.
At this moment, all the Immortal Gods turned their gaze towards the Pharmacist.
It could be said that Yu Yuan's resounding question had pierced through the veil of "Pure Land", making all the Immortal Gods present realize that the "Pure Land" described by the Pharmacist simply could not exist in this world.
Unless the two Saints of the Western Sect had truly surpassed both Pangu God and Hong Jun Taoist Ancestor!
But is that possible?
Everyone already had an answer to this question, yet they wanted to hear it from the Pharmacist himself.
Was he lying, or had the two Saints from the Western Sect really surpassed Pangu God and Hong Jun Taoist Ancestor?
At this moment, the Pharmacist stared intently at Yu Yuan, his thoughts racing.
However, after thinking hard, he still couldn't find words to refute.
After all, "Pure Land" was overly glorified.
The little tricks aimed at mortals, like "think of clothing and receive it, think of food and obtain it" were acceptable, but to attract the Immortal Gods present, the gimmick of "being free from the three poisons of greed, hatred, and delusion" was also employed...
Of course, it was this very gimmick that gave "Pure Land" such a strong appeal to the Immortal Gods present.
But now, after hearing Yu Yuan's speech, he realized how fatally flawed this gimmick was!
Seeing the Pharmacist looking down with an ugly expression and remaining silent, Zhao Gongming, changing from his previous worried frown, laughed and said, "My fellow Daoist seems unable to answer the question posed by my disciple Yu Yuan, am I right?"
The Pharmacist's expression became even uglier as his mind frantically searched for a solution.

From the moment Yu Yuan spoke, he knew that the Western Sect's scheme had been thwarted.
He looked at Yu Yuan with an amazed expression in his eyes.
Not only him, the way all the Immortal Gods looked at Yu Yuan had changed.
Initially, when Yu Yuan had first stood up, the Immortals looked at him with some disdain.
But now, their expressions had turned to surprise and admiration, and they couldn't help but discuss using Primordial Spirit Transmission.
"No wonder His Majesty allowed Yu Yuan to debate, he had already thought of a way to break through!"
"Indeed! The Western Sect's Pharmacist Immortal only managed to utter a few words, and Yu Yuan had already argued him into silence."
"What else can he say? If even Pangu God and the Taoist Ancestor couldn't create such a perfect world, how could the Western Sect do it?"
"That Pharmacist Immortal must be exaggerating. That so-called Pure Land is probably just a Great Thousand World like Eastern Emperor Heaven."
"Hush, this involves a Saint; don't speculate recklessly!"
At this moment, Heavenly Emperor sat in the highest seat, his face unable to hide a trace of joy.
With his Dao Xing, he could catch most of the Immortal Gods' Primordial Spirit Transmission and immediately sensed their change of attitude towards "Pure Land."
He was delighted by such an evident shift.
He hadn't held much hope initially, inviting Yu Yuan to debate was like trying a dead horse as a living horse doctor, but unexpectedly, it really worked!
Seeing the Pharmacist unable to speak for a long time, he smiled and said, "It seems that this debate already has its outcome..."
"Your Majesty, please hold on!"
A disciple from the Western Sect, dressed in a white robe, with eyebrows like distant hills and eyes like stars, stood up and approached to make his obeisance: "I am Moonlight, a disciple of the Western Sect."
He straightened up and looked around: "Just now, my brother the Pharmacist was not able to finish his words. Actually, entering the Pure Land requires the integration of our Western Pure Dao, only then can one truly ascend to bliss unafflicted by the three poisons of greed, hatred, and delusion."
"Why didn't you mention this earlier?"
Zhao Gongming sneered, "Now that my disciple Yu Yuan has left you speechless, you're trying to patch things up with this Pure Dao?"
Moonlight remained unmoved, saying lightly, "I'm not trying to patch anything, but stating the facts."
Zhao Gongming sneered again, about to speak, but saw Moonlight already turning to look at Yu Yuan, "You must have clearly heard what I just said, my fellow Daoist.
Do you have any advice?"
"What advice could there be?"
Zhao Gongming said irritably, "You've concocted this Pure Land, and my disciple Yu Yuan has already debunked it. Go stay wherever it's cool!"
But Moonlight ignored him, his gaze firmly on Yu Yuan: "Since my fellow Daoist was able to argue against my elder brother with your selective interpretation, presumably, you wouldn't dare not to debate with me, right?"
Zhao Gongming gave a meaningful look, "Nephew, you have already won this debate, no need to bother with him."
Yu Yuan knew Zhao Gongming was worried he might impulsively lose to Moonlight and ruin the great situation.
After all, he had just managed to argue down the Pharmacist because he had listened outside for a long time, having enough time to find loopholes in the other's statements.
But in a real debate, there wasn't so much time to think.
Under the watchful eyes of all, if he couldn't respond, he would end up embarrassingly like the Pharmacist.
However, he felt that he was still a bit short of completely reversing the Immortals' impression of him, so he looked at Moonlight and said, "Please elaborate on what the Pure Dao is?"
A flash of sharpness appeared in Moonlight's eyes, and he also breathed a sigh of relief internally.
