"It's bound to go wrong..."
Upon hearing Shen Xiu speak, Fang Xing couldn't help but silently lament. Earlier, when the Golden Buddhist Light emerged, he had witnessed the nine cycles of debate between Shen Xiu and Hui Neng in their previous lives, understanding the cause and effect.

As a result, Shen Xiu lost all nine cycles, persisting stubbornly with a single resolve.
