Chapter 121 - 119: The Sword Sweeps the Eight Desolates and Shocks the Six Harmonies
But let’s talk about the Daoist Equal to Heaven, who was swept far away by the three-color divine light emitted by the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi of Yuan Shi Immortal Monarch, and fell onto the coast of the Southern Toad Continent, landing in such a disheveled state.
The Sage’s methods were truly extraordinary, being able to sweep him away tens of thousands of miles with just a casual flick, leaving him with no chance to resist.
In his heart, the Daoist Equal to Heaven wondered, "Whose eyes were those in the black hole? Why did they target me? Could it be because of the Swallowing Dragon Stele? To think that the physical body of VLOOKUP(A1289,[1]Sheet1!$A:$B,2,0) was actually hidden within the South Sea, I suppose he must be drawing upon the dragon qi from the remains of the Southern Dragon here. Was the war in the Middle Ancient Times really so tragic?"
Daoist Equal to Heaven rose from the ground, his head still feeling groggy, and thought to himself, "First, I’ll make a name for myself within the Han Dynasty, being recognized as a virtuous person. Then when chaotic times arrive, I should be able to be put to good use." He couldn’t help but secretly consider, "That arrow I shot towards the Southern Sky Gate, I wonder if it hurt anyone. The Three Pure are likely to cover for me, but it’s still best not to show myself too much, to avoid getting caught. That would be trouble indeed."
Daoist Equal to Heaven hadn’t expected that the magical treasure made by the Ancient Hate Heaven Clan would be so powerful; his one arrow had actually broken through the Southern Sky Gate, which was truly astounding.
It would be best to avoid using this set of magical treasures lightly, to prevent detection by the people of the Heavenly Court. Currently, no one in this body was looking out for him and facing a formidable figure would be disastrous.
Daoist Equal to Heaven didn’t linger. With a handful of soil thrown, he employed Earth Escape and departed for Luoyang in the Southern Toad Continent.
Only after traveling for a long while did Daoist Equal to Heaven stop and take a deep breath. This trip back from the Ruins had truly been harrowing, with several close calls with death.
Meanwhile, the Venerables Kasyapa and Ananda descended from Mount Meru to first seek an audience with Lapis Lazuli Light Medicine Buddha. Having just left the Da Xiong Palace, it was inappropriate to inquire too much from the Tathagata, as he was in an irritable mood. Approaching him would have been asking for trouble. Upon arriving in the Eastern Lapis Lazuli Pure Light World, they reported to Sunlight Bodhisattva, seeking an audience with the Buddha Ancestor.
In a moment, Sunlight Bodhisattva came out and invited the two Venerables inside. They entered the Lapis Lazuli Pure Light Realm, which was crystal clear and sparkling. Pathways paved with lapis lazuli stretched before them, with gold and jewels everywhere. The inhabitants of the Lapis Lazuli Pure Light Realm lived in abundance, free from sickness and pain. Even their slightest desires, upon being thought of, would naturally manifest before their eyes. And here, everyone sincerely chanted the name of the Buddha daily, significantly increasing the incense power and wish power for Medicine Buddha. However, maintaining control over such a world was indeed challenging. The strength of Medicine Buddha was beyond ordinary comprehension.
"What brings you two Venerables to seek me out?" asked Medicine Buddha calmly, seated upon a lotus platform, his visage dignified.
