“Oh? Please go ahead,” said Long Chen.
“Previously, dean Long Chen mentioned this part of the Tea Scripture: from above, achieve the Dao, ascend to the heavenly palace; from the center, achieve the Dao, become an immortal in the southern palace; from below, achieve the Dao, live forever within the world. This line is denounced by countless cultivators in the current era. To tell the truth, I’ve asked many famous scholars about this line, and they also scoff at it. It… it’s very displeasing!” said the patriarch.
While he said that it was very displeasing, in truth, during those times, he ended up turning hostile with those people. But unable to beat them or out-curse them, he could only swallow this grievance and leave.
Later on, he no longer asked for anyone else’s teachings and directly set up his Tea Divine School, turning himself into the founding patriarch and viewing the Tea Saint as a god. He then swore to bring the Tea Dao to glory.
