Palace in the Clouds
... this scene is either a plot hole or the author really forcing the plot. This Buddhist Lord completely rejected the scripture because it basically completely opposes his lifetime of effort and denies his Dao. If you spent thousands of years learning and practicing Buddhism, then became the master of a Buddhist Sect due to your high understanding of the scriptures, and then a child comes along and tells you that youâre completely wrong about every single thing, would you accept it? Or write the child off as not knowing anything? Yet the moment the Buddhist Lord discovers that this scripture came from MC he changed his attitude in the blink of an eye and starts praising his handsomeness and such. Then he starts seriously considering the scripture and trying to understand it. No normal cultivator would act like this. You have to know that the older the cultivator, the harder it is to alter their Dao, because that usually means admitting their life was a mistake. This usually leads to death. If this isnât author forcing the plot, then does that mean MCâs exaggerated âdivine appearanceâ is so handsome that it basically long term charms anyone who looks at his face? Even if itâs a Sect Lord thatâs more than half a dozen realms higher than him? Judging by the frequent mentions of his appearance in every chapter. Thereâs an important piece of info. The MC was born and grew up like this. His appearance wasnât improved through rebuilding his body after breaking through a major cultivation realm. In which case, how come all the people back in the palace avoided MC like the plague and isolated him back when he was mortal? This Buddhist Lord is literally willing to most likely kill himself by admitting his entire lifeâs hard work was wrong and a mistake. I donât believe the mortals are immune to his charm when even Tribulation Transcenders are heavily affected. Yet all the mortals were apparently immune to his charm. Plot hole.
