Secret Buyer

Other Shore World.

Magnificent, unrivaled in the world.

At the very center of the vast Buddha Land, Other Shore Mountain pierces the clouds, while the hundred cities of the Buddha Land have now expanded to a thousand cities, with Chang’an Town remaining the same,

At this moment, in the Great Heaven Temple near the peak of Other Shore Mountain.

"Cough, cough..."

Hong Tianbao hunched over, slowly wiping the three lotus platforms above the temple, dust removed, and the glass gleamed.

He softly asked:

"Wa, cleaning this lotus platform and preparing for the grand ceremony, what exactly is it for?"

Next to him, a stunning woman, half-human, half-snake, was quietly coiled with her snake body, slightly raising her eyes, her voice was cold and unemotional:

"Waiting for the return of the three Buddhas to their positions."

"The return of the three Buddhas?"

Hong Tianbao was even more puzzled. He himself was very different now, as the most revered in the current Other Shore World, as the Past Buddha, he controlled the incense offerings across the Other Shore World.

In the thousand and eight cities of the Other Shore, each city has a population of over a billion, with at least half of them being followers of Buddha,

For a thousand years, just relying on such incense offerings and the support of the celestial position, Hong Tianbao has also reached the limit of the True Saint level.

If not for the iron law governing the world, preventing all beings from proving the Taiyi Fruit Position, from reflecting the heavens and myriad worlds, otherwise...

He even had a tiny possibility, using the Other Shore World and the celestial position of the Past Buddha, to leap into Daluo.

Hong Tianbao softly said:

"Xiao Dongxi is now seated in the position of the Ten Elders in the Upper Realm, known as the Future Venerable, it’s hard for her to return to the Other Shore World."

"Even if she wants to give up the position of Ten Elders and return to the Other Shore World, but, but Fusheng is also...."

Hong Tianbao’s expression darkened slightly.

For hundreds of years, there have been those walking in the world from the Other Shore World, mostly to endure tribulations and hone their hearts, but more so to search for traces of Fusheng.

But a thousand years have passed, and nothing has been found.

Wa Maiden slowly lifted her eyelids, "Now Tathagata will ultimately return."

"And what happens after the return?" Hong Tianbao was puzzled, "At that time, the three Buddhas will gather and take their positions, so what?"

Wa Maiden’s voice remained cold, without any hint of emotion:

"Among the three Buddhas, now is the time for veneration. If the three Buddhas each return to their rightful seats on Ling Mountain, using the grand ceremony and grand ritual of the Other Shore World, the Now World Venerate may perhaps take the Ultimate Leap."

Hong Tianbao asked again:

"What is the Ultimate Leap?"

"It means, transforming into Fu Li Shizun."

"And what is the Fu Li World then?"

"I do not know."

Listening to Wa Maiden’s brief answer, Hong Tianbao became more confused, "Then Wa Maiden, how did you come to know about this... Fu Li Shizun?"

"After all, you have never left the Other Shore World..."

Wa Maiden was unusually silent. She looked back, her gaze penetrated the grand vastness of the Buddhist temple, staring at the blue sky like a wash,

And seemed to be gazing at something above the celestial vault, above all creation.

For a moment.

Wa Maiden suddenly laughed softly, speaking lightly:

"Time, and the passage of time, is divided into past, present, and future. In cause and effect, the past is the cause, the present or future is the effect, but there is a type of life that transcends these two concepts."

Hong Tianbao was bewildered:

"I don’t understand..."

Wa Maiden shook her head lightly, "Cause and effect are reversed, time is in chaos, the future is never certain, yet the future can be forcibly ’destined’ ahead of time."

"Some things, once you do them, become fixed in cause and effect, and the future also becomes fixed."

Her voice turned somewhat raspy, rare for it not to be cold, carrying a sense of worldly impermanence,

Hong Tianbao stared closely at Wa Maiden, feeling as if she had changed somewhat.

More grand, more imposing, more infinite.

Clearly standing right in front of him, yet carrying an air of transcending all creation and beings, far removed from the five turbidities and mortal dust.

"Wa Maiden, who are you really?" Hong Tianbao asked.

Wa Maiden lowered her gaze, her voice was clear and crisp, like pearls falling onto a jade plate.

"I’m just a..."

"Mother?"

She laughed lightly, and then, in the vast Other Shore World, all the flowers bloomed together, competing in beauty, the trees drooped green, and the grass stretched endlessly into a carpet.

Hong Tianbao’s heart trembled slightly.

.........

Beyond the Other Shore World, stretching for ten thousand miles.

The immortal flowers swayed, the clouds floated, the sound of praise was ceaseless, accompanied by the sound of the Golden Boy banging the gong and the Jade Maiden singing, echoing for three thousand miles.

In the heavens, there was a long river of purple aura coming from the east, a woman dressed in rainbow garments stood at the crest of the purple aura river,

She looked down upon the desolate plains and rolling yellow sands below, gazing at that dilapidated Taoist temple:

"Is this the place?"

Hu Lifo stood respectfully beside the female immortal, nodding:

"Reporting to Master Uncle, the Celestial Secret showed in an instant, it is in this place, right here."

He pointed to the dilapidated Taoist temple.

With yellow sand swirling in the sky, the Taoist temple seemed to be on the verge of collapse amidst the dust storms, yet the lotus pond beside it remained pure.

Lin Dongxi quietly looked down at the dilapidated Taoist temple, his brows unconsciously furrowing.

Spiritual Sense... was warning.

But it was a very subtle warning, even not just a warning, it was ’pre-warning’ of joy.

Fortune and disaster intertwined—but precisely because of this, it seemed very peculiar.

Now, he was already a True Saint, controlling a tenth of the power and the Power of Heaven and Earth in the Upper Realm, if he really wanted to act, borrowing the support of the Upper Realm, he could crush an ordinary True Saint with just three punches!

At present, unable to prove the Taiyi Fruit Position, what could still threaten him??

The most crucial thing is....

In Lin Dongxi’s eyes, some of the Fruits of Various Causes were reflected, suddenly making him ’infinitely tall,’ as if in an instant he was already above all things, yet he clearly still stood from afar.

He gazed downward, to peer into the dilapidated Taoist temple, discovering with shock that he couldn’t see through the matters and objects within the temple.

And when Lin Dongxi attempted to glimpse the future of the dilapidated Taoist temple—

’Buzz!!!’

He heard the sound of a bell.
