Chapter 553-2: Martial Emperor’s Imperial Notes, One Seed, One Sprout, One Spring (2)
[Fortunately, the immortal venerates did not turn Us away, nor did they lower themselves to Our level. It seems that to the Daoist immortal venerates, the Incense Power of the whole Vermilion nation does not count as anything precious.]
[The receiving child treated Us with courtesy. Seeing the child’s expression even made Us develop an illusion: whether it is hundreds of millions of common people, or you, Emperor of Vermilion, if you believe, then believe. If you do not believe, then leave at once. Do not disturb this child’s heart of pursuing the Dao and ascending.]
[Seeing the child’s attitude, We suddenly awakened. Where exactly do the western gods and Buddhas cultivate great prajna and great freedom?]
[True great freedom is no more than this…]
[Penglai Island seemed like an immortal palace fallen to the earth. We followed the receiving child deep into the island, but did not see the many immortal venerates recorded in Daoist scriptures, nor did We receive an audience with Dao Ancestor.]
[The one We met was a female immortal Primordial Lady We had never heard of before. According to the child, she is Dao Ancestor’s newly accepted disciple.]
[Purple Void Primordial Lady’s beauty is like a heavenly being, and her cultivation is heaven-reaching and earth-penetrating. But as We observed the Primordial Lady’s speech and behavior, We faintly felt that before the Primordial Lady attained the Dao and became an immortal, she did not seem to be a person of the Central Plains?]
[Purple Void Primordial Lady conveyed Dao Ancestor’s instructions to Us. Enma once left behind One Seed, One Sprout, and One Spring, respectively bestowing them upon the left and right attendants under His seat and upon Lady Ziguang, Central Heaven Brahma Qi Doumu Primordial Lady, who assisted Him.]
[The left and right attendants are Great Wisdom Endless Intent Bodhisattva and Ten Great Vows Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, respectively holding One Seed and One Sprout, while that One Spring is now in Penglai.]
