Bo Ai's command layout is no matter how noble, but ultimately limited to the eyesight of the mortal, saw the world too small, also understand the truth of less.
Yuan Hong while loafing in the city of Jin, doesn't mean he is unaware of the great and small matters of the primordial era. On the contrary, he had long seen that there is a tendency for Buddhism to flourish. His former subordinates are all scattered, and he can't return to Meishan. What is there to wait for if not to join a powerful force early on to seek protection?
The previous Jieyin Buddha set up the Ten Thousand Buddha array at the foot of the Lingshan Mountain, known to the world. Yuan Hong even used Ba Jiu Xuan Gong to change his appearance and disguise himself to break the array, but unfortunately, his performance was not much better than Bi Xiao's, and he was really not that kind of material.
Arguing with the Moonlight Buddha was to boost one's own value, and also due to some minor grudge over the Ten Thousand Buddha array. You get 53 points, and I get only 80? Is the gap that big?
Boosting one's status seems to be done quite well, and is highly valued. However, I never expected the Moonlight Buddha to leave him such a "can't be without you" broken mission.
His and Bo Ai's gazes met mid-air, and he immediately appeared cheerful: "Younger brother, do not worry. My elder brother still has some strength. I will definitely protect you to Lingshan Mountain."
Yuan Hong had always had a poor opinion of the Zhou Kingdom, and he himself didn't have any descendants, tribes, or subordinates to be a burden. That means he could leave at any time without hesitation.
Bo Ai had prepared for two days, and then rode a fast horse to the Luoyi of Han to deliver the submission document personally.
He knew Deng Jiugong. Before Deng Chanyu's crossing, as the prince of Xibo Town, he had met Deng Jiugong, and the feelings of both sides were still good at that time.
At this moment, he was merely submitting a submission document on behalf of himself and the city of Jin to Han.
Over twenty members of the Ji family had submitted to Han, and he was not the first, nor would he be the last. Deng Jiugong accepted Bo Ai's submission of the population register and map of Jin, thus welcoming this branch into Han.
Afterwards, Bo Ai returned to Jin City, entrusting his subordinates and troops to his eldest son, and set off on the long journey westward together with Yuan Hong.
Heavenly Palace, Doumu Palace.
Tao Tian Grandmaster put down all past grievances and did not let his willfulness play out, while the Jū Líng Immaculate did not.
Especially after hearing that Zhao Gongming had replaced his position as the new direct disciple and Xun Xiao became the outer door senior disciple, his dissatisfaction reached its peak.
Her dissatisfaction was not directed at Tao Tian Grandmaster. She believed that it was Duobao, Jinling, and Zhao Gongming who used honeyed words to deceive their master. After all, Tao Tian Grandmaster had come to the Doumu Palace before, just a step away from entering. Isn't this the best proof of deep teacher-student affection?
After that, Tao Tian Grandmaster never came again, nor did he send anyone to deliver any messages. It was as if the former Jū Líng Immaculate had already died.
She got stuck in a narrow-minded mindset, stubbornly believing it was the interference of her fellow disciples and seniors.
As the first among all celestial stars, Doumu Yuanjun was quite cautious when he was conferring immortality. The power of Jiutian Sect was still considerable, and Tao Tian Grandmaster was present. Therefore, he had to elevate Jū Líng Immaculate to a higher position. Doumu Yuanjun was a decent position.
Now Jū Líng Immaculate is still dissatisfied. She would rather go back to the Jiutian Sect as a minor disciple than do this troublesome Doumu Yuanjun.
"This thing is called Six Yang Snow Lotus, an exquisite spiritual material from the Tianshan Mountains. I have come today to offer it to the Empress."
"Master Zhu, Zhu Ganglei bowed respectfully," said the Black-Red.
All affairs at the North Gate, including the Shuidi Star Lord and the Heavenly River Army, were under the jurisdiction of the Tientong Grandmaster, but the Shuidi Star Lord was a member of the stars. Since he was a star lord, he fell within the jurisdiction of Doumu Yuanjun. Upon hearing that this one wanted to cultivate Dao, and suffered from a lack of spiritual materials, old Zhu ran out to scavenge and then came back with treasure.
So many years have passed since the primordial era, and all the rare treasures and paradises have been occupied by powerful forces. He could only find some scraps.
Jū Líng Immaculate looked at the snow lotus and frowned. Such a level of spiritual material, during the time of Jiutian Sect, she wouldn't even look at it twice.
Suppressing her temper, she instructed the maid beside her to put away the snow lotus.
She was well aware that her current body had inferior qualities. If the quality of the previous turtle body was a hundred, then the quality of this current body was less than one.
The Snow Lotus is not an top-level spiritual material. Just a little bit of spiritual energy absorbed into the body will be used up after a few circuits of the upper-clear cultivation method, leaving only a little bit of residual spiritual energy in the body, which is not more than one ten-thousandth.
It's too difficult! The celestial court has provided them with physical bodies to be worshipped, and now she is trying to forcefully cultivate Dao, so naturally it is an event of a thousand.
Jū Líng Immaculate had lived for so many years and was not entirely brainless. Even though she was restless in her heart, she still encouraged Old Zhu in a soft voice, and only then did she have the maid send him out.
Just as Old Zhu left, her explosive temperament couldn't be suppressed.
"Get out, all of you, get out!" she shouted.
All the maids and slaves promptly retreated from the courtyard.
As the Doumu Yuanjun, the spiritual power she received from the sacrifices in heaven was among the top five. However, she dislikes the path of a god and is eager to return to cultivate Dao.
Now what should I do?
The Great Teacher of Enlightenment and Yu Ding both share the same predicament as her.
As the coffin of the Enlightenment Buddha, it cannot be found back. Similarly, the jade-tripod of Yu Deng Renzhen and the turtle body of Jū Líng Immaculate have also been consumed by the Jade-Lustre World.
The problem is that the Enlightenment Buddha and Yu Ding had their own abodes before, such as the Mount Liujiu or Mount Yuquan. As a place of cultivation with second-tier status to Daoist masters in the primordial era, there were some cultivation resources available. Now Mr. Yang Ji has returned Mount Yuquan to his teacher, and there have been no obstacles encountered in retrieving Mount Liujiu from the Enlightenment Buddha.
No one anticipated their own death and the extinction of their Dao, but some preparatory measures had been taken in advance. Even if the amount of spiritual materials was not great, it was still better than the destitute situation on the side of Jū Líng.
She had always lived in the Blue Immortal Palace, and now where would she find cultivation resources to go?
"A loyal maid enters and nervously reports, "Madame Empress, that Venerable One has arrived."
Jū Líng's eyes lit up, and she immediately followed to the rear hall.
Waiting for her was a young monk.
The monk looked handsome, with clear eyes, dressed in a crimson Buddhist robe, barefoot, standing quietly, emanating radiant Buddhist light around him. The sutra music at his ears conveyed wisdom to break through the obscurity.
Jū Líng Immaculate bowed slightly in respect, "Buddha Sunlight, it has been many days since you last visited this humble place of mine."
"Ha ha, please don't blame the Empress. It's just that secular affairs have kept me tied up. I have not been able to spare the time. However, today my business has been somewhat reduced, so I have come to visit the Empress."
Jū Líng Immaculate gently nodded.
This Guang Yue Buddha came to pay a visit on his own, saying he wanted to offer assistance. The Jū Líng Immaculate still had a bit of the pride of a primeval predecessor and was hesitant to ask for help directly.
At that moment, she did not inquire about the other party's intention but instead chose words that struck at her heart: "Buddha, why do you not go to Lingshan but stay in the East Sea? I have heard that the Western Paradise of Bliss, with its myriad of Buddha worshipers and occasional descents of radiant light from the Western Paradise of Bliss, is truly an Earthly Land of the Buddha."
