Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 108 A Narrow Path Leads to Daydreaming?

Beside the secluded valley, Zhunti and Jieyin smiled slightly, revealing a faint smile, looking as if victory was assured.

Zhunti, in particular, had already thought about how to promote the event properly after the discussion.

At that time, Mount Sumeru in the West will be overflowing with people, and the revitalization of the West will be just around the corner!

"My two junior brothers have chosen a narrow path."

On the contrary, the Three Pure Ones frowned slightly. The so-called paradise could fool Chi Jingzi and others, but how could it be hidden from them?

However, they did not speak, but watched quietly, especially Tongtian, whose heart was stirred with emotion.

It must be said that this paradise does have some unique features.

If it were the first time they met, they could easily be fooled and fall into a trap. He wanted to see if his eldest disciple could break the deadlock.

At this moment, the pharmacist smiled slightly at Chi Jingzi again.

"It seems that Brother Chijingzi still doesn't quite understand the meaning of my Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Perhaps I could explain it to you properly?"

"it is good."

Chi Jingzi nodded subconsciously, and the disciples of the Yuqing lineage also had very solemn expressions.

Clearly, they too were fooled by this so-called paradise.

He felt that the pharmacist's words made perfect sense.

"The beings in my Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss have clothes, food, and utensils provided at their very thought. If they wish to wear clothes, 'wonderful garments naturally appear on their bodies'; if they wish to eat, 'a hundred flavors of food naturally fill their stomachs'—everything is provided. Furthermore, they listen daily to their Master and Uncle-Master teaching the wondrous Dharma of the Western Pure Land, and naturally, they are free from the poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance."

"The Pure Land is a world far from darkness, where the earth, pavilions, sentient beings, lotus flowers... all things radiate light, needing no illumination from the sun or moon."

"Furthermore, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is vast and boundless, without seasons, heat or cold, or rain and dampness. It is cool and comfortable, making people feel refreshed and happy."

"All beings who ascend to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss are in the form of sentient beings, without love, desire, or affection, and without enmity or resentment. Therefore, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss can become an absolutely pure and equal world, where hundreds of millions of beings are all free from the six senses."

The pharmacist's words completely stunned Chi Jingzi.

No, it wasn't just Chi Jingzi; even Taiyi, Yu Ding, Ju Liusun, and the disciples of the Shangqing lineage, such as Jin Ling, Gui Ling, Wu Dang, and San Xiao, were completely bewildered.

Their Dao hearts trembled slightly at this moment, and a great doubt arose in their hearts.

Could this legendary paradise really exist?

If it didn't exist, how could the events that happened in that huge city just now, when the pharmacist waved his hand, have occurred?

The Pure Land is a place of peace, equality, and universal harmony.

Guang Chengzi, Duobao, and others, who had the deepest cultivation and profound understanding of the Great Dao, always felt that there was something wrong with what the Medicine Master said, but when asked to refute it, they had no way of saying it.

Just as the disciples of both factions were in a state of confusion and did not know how to refute,

Suddenly, a loud laugh rang out, like a great bell, instantly shattering all the distracting thoughts in everyone's minds.

"Junior Brother Pharmacist, the paradise you described sounds a bit like...a daydream to me?"

Zhao Gongming finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud at the pharmacist.

The pharmacist said angrily, "Brother Gongming, I respect you and call you brother. How can our master insult my Western Paradise without cause?"

Zhao Gongming continued with a laugh, "I was just telling the truth, how can that be considered an insult?"

"You just said that in the Western Paradise, beings have clothes, food, and utensils that appear at their fingertips. If they want clothes, 'wonderful garments naturally appear on their bodies'; if they want food, 'a hundred flavors of food naturally fill their stomachs'—everything is provided. But in my understanding, anything you want requires effort. You can't expect something for nothing. What you're saying, Brother Medicine Master, isn't that just wishful thinking?"

"Yeah, to have clothes to wear and food to eat—isn't that just wishful thinking?"

"Oh ho, so all that the pharmacist said was just daydreaming."

"I originally thought that the disciples of the Western lineage were only thick-skinned, but I didn't expect them to also like to daydream."

The disciples of the Yuqing and Shangqing lineages erupted in laughter, as if a pot had been boiled over.

"Nonsense, nonsense!"

The pharmacist, enraged, laughed coldly, "That's because you're ignorant and haven't been to my Western Paradise. You've only seen its profound mysteries!"

Zhao Gongming's expression turned serious, and he said, "Since your Western Paradise is so wonderful, with everything you could want, why are you still plundering the spiritual herbs and elixirs of my Kunlun Mountain? If you enter your so-called Paradise, wouldn't you just have plenty of spiritual herbs and elixirs with a single thought?"

"We in the West have a grand vow to guide all sentient beings to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. If sentient beings do not enter, how dare we enter?"

The pharmacist's face was extremely solemn. The rising sun shone golden sunlight on his face, making him look like a true Buddha descending to earth.

Even Zhao Gongming was stunned, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up in his heart.

A pharmacist who does not help sentient beings in the world will never enter the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in his lifetime.

One Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva vows not to become a Buddha until hell is emptied, continuously drawing upon the vital energy of Buddhism.

The West's brainwashing skills are truly top-notch; he admires them greatly.

Soon, Zhao Gongming's expression softened considerably, and he let out a long sigh.

"So, Junior Brother Pharmacist has such a grand ambition in his heart. Then what I said before was my mistake."

The pharmacist smiled and said, "To err is human, to forgive divine."

"Senior brother has a request; I wonder if junior brother Pharmacist could grant it?"

"What request?"

The pharmacist was taken aback.

"I am also one of the sentient beings. You say that the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is so good, with everything you could want, why not just bring me there directly? It would save you from the tedious and boring daily arduous cultivation. I can also help you experience it and see if the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is really that good."

The pharmacist calculated with his fingers and said, "Brother Gongming is not destined for the Western Paradise; I cannot save him."

"Am I not meant to be?"

Zhao Gongming was taken aback.

The pharmacist said solemnly, "In the West, we act according to fate. If you are destined, you can naturally enter my Western Paradise. If you are not destined, you cannot force it."

Zhao Gongming couldn't help but laugh, pointing at Duobao, "Then, my junior brother Duobao, are we destined to be together?"

"No chance."

"Where are the Three Immortal Maidens?"

"No chance."

"The Immortal with the Curly Head is a disciple of the Azure Lion who attained enlightenment; surely we have a connection?"

"No chance."

Zhao Gongming couldn't help but laugh, "Then tell me, Junior Brother Pharmacist, who here has this destiny?"

"The destiny lies in the heart; one will only know it when one reaches the West."

The pharmacist remained calm and showed no embarrassment whatsoever.

Jin Guangxian glanced at the pharmacist, his face showing disdain. "Fate, fate, fate, what a load of rubbish! If you like to daydream, then daydream. Why do you have to come up with some kind of paradise? It's laughable."

Jin Guangxian's crude words immediately caused everyone present to burst into laughter.

"you"

The pharmacist's face turned pale. He was about to retort when Zhunti spoke up, "Pharmacist, calm down. There's no need to argue with them."

"Yes, Uncle-Master."

The pharmacist exhaled a breath of stale air, and his mind instantly calmed down.

Even so, among the disciples of the Yuqing and Shangqing lineages, the pharmacist no longer possessed the unfathomable aura he once had; to them, he seemed like a clown.

The so-called paradise is utterly laughable.

Unexpectedly, these Western disciples, instead of focusing on proper cultivation, are constantly dreaming of windfalls. What else is this but daydreaming?

Even Tongtian couldn't help but smile, a slight upturn to his lips. Jin Guangxian's words had truly struck a chord with him.
