From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

Under the impact of this vast spiritual power, the mountains within a radius of dozens of miles swayed and the leaves rustled.

Immediately afterwards, an iron rod that was a thousand feet thick smashed down with tremendous force, like a falling meteorite, overwhelming the world and shocking everyone.

Bang!

After a deafening roar, towering trees were instantly destroyed, turning into scattered debris and flying dust.

A burly man with red hair stood in the air. Hundreds of monks around him were attacking the man madly, trying to kill him. Unfortunately, they could not hurt him at all. Instead, they were killed one by one by the black iron rod in the man's hand!

The black iron rod seemed to be made of some rare metal. Although the surface was bumpy, it contained surging power.

With one strike of the stick, the sky collapsed, the earth cracked, and the mountains trembled.

Such a terrifying force terrified many monks and they dared not fight head-on.

After all, although they have many people, they are only in the realm of immortality, but this strong man from Dongji is already an immortal supreme.

"Damned Dongji people, hurry up and go to Mount Sumeru to ask the Buddha for help. I will stop this thief!"

At this moment, a monk in a gray robe in the crowd gritted his teeth and roared, then urged the magic weapon in his hand and rushed towards the burly man.

"Senior brother..."

"do not want!"

The monks' faces changed drastically and they hurried to dissuade them.

Unfortunately, it was too late. He could only watch the gray-robed monk rush into the range of the burly man.

The gray-robed monk's eyes were bloodshot and a horrible bloody aura burst out of his body, obviously his essence was burning.

"kill!"

The gray-robed monk let out a low roar, and a brilliant Buddha light burst out from his body, like a scorching sun across the void, and rushed straight towards the burly man.

"what?"

The burly man was slightly stunned, looked at the gray-robed monk in surprise, and then snorted coldly: "You are trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm, you are overestimating your own abilities!"

Rumble!

After saying that, he swung up the black iron rod and chopped him on the head.

A terrifying stick shadow cut through the sky, and with the power of annihilation, it fiercely pressed down towards the gray-robed monk.

There was a loud bang!

When the terrifying stick shadow fell, the gray-robed monk instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist and disappeared into the void.

The only bald monk left was stunned for a moment, his face full of grief and anger, and he burst into tears.

"what!"

"Everyone, run quickly! We can't let our brother die in vain!"

"Go to Mount Sumeru and invite the Buddha of Bliss!"

The monks were so frightened that they no longer had the courage to resist and turned around to flee.

"Humph, you still want to escape? You will all die here!"

The burly man snorted coldly and jumped off to chase after him.

In an instant, his speed skyrocketed and he turned into an afterimage, extremely fast.

Puff puff!

Blood was splattered and corpses were scattered all over the ground.

But in just a moment, all the monks died tragically and turned into corpses one after another.

The burly man put away the black iron rod, clapped his hands, and a hint of indifference appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"This is a great place for spiritual practice, but it's just for these bald donkeys..."

The words fell.

hum!

Suddenly, the whole space darkened, as if it had fallen into eternal night, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

The suffocating feeling of oppression enveloped the entire venue, making it hard to breathe.

Click!

Beams of starlight tore through the dark night sky. The dazzling light fell from the sky and instantly pierced through the body of the burly man.

"what?"

The burly man was shocked and subconsciously swung the black iron rod to resist.

However, the black iron rod in his hand broke into two pieces in an instant.

"How can this be?"

The burly man was shocked and couldn't believe it.

This black iron rod was refined by him with countless efforts. It is extremely tough and is one of the top supreme magic weapons!

How is it possible that it was discounted all of a sudden!

Click, click, click!

The next moment, the starlight became even more terrifying, causing his body to crack, his bones to break, and blood to spurt.

"I can not be reconciled!"

The burly man roared, his skin swelled, and bursts of terrifying power erupted.

"Get out of here!"

He struggled hard, and his feet created two sparks in the air.

But the starlight was too bright, enveloping him like a ball of blazing flame.

Kaka!

Along with the crisp sound of shattering, the beam of starlight became brighter and brighter, completely submerging the burly man!

"what!"

A shrill scream came out of his mouth, and there was a muffled thud. The burly man's body cracked inch by inch, turned into powder, and disappeared into thin air.

An immortal supreme being died just like that!

The person who killed him never even showed up from beginning to end.

"Amitabha!"

Suddenly, a kind voice sounded, and then a young monk wearing a green cassock, with red lips and white teeth, slowly walked out of the void.

Behind him, followed many monks of different appearances, some old and some young, each with their own style and temperament, but all of them vaguely revealed the unique Zen meaning of Buddhism.

Among this group of monks, the one with the lowest level of cultivation has entered the holy realm, while the one with the highest level has reached the supreme realm.

As for the young monk in the lead, he was faintly stirring the power of heaven and earth around him, with fairy light flashing between his brows, and he was actually a powerful earthly immortal!

"You have come from afar, and I have not been able to greet you in person. I am so sorry for the disrespect!"

The young monk looked solemn and bowed respectfully towards the empty space.

"You're welcome, Master."

A clear female voice sounded. Although the words were polite, they contained majesty and solemnity, as if a female emperor was facing her subjects, looking down on her!

The next moment, a circle of ripples appeared in the void, and as the ripples spread, a beautiful figure emerged.

This graceful figure has a beautiful face, eyes like cold stars, and is dressed in a golden and red brocade robe with a phoenix pattern. She looks so graceful and elegant that people dare not look directly at her.

She stood quietly in the void, the bright sunlight shining on her face, as if coated with a layer of mysterious glow.

Tiny starlight diffused around her, like countless stars falling to the earth, isolating her from the surroundings. It was full of dreams and mystery, as if she was in another little world.

"this......."

The moment they saw her appear, the monks' pupils suddenly shrank and their hearts beat wildly, almost jumping out of their chests.

This emotion is not admiration when seeing a beauty, but a kind of awe and fear!

It was as if the person in front of him was the empress who ruled the world and was inviolable, making him feel insignificant and humble.

The woman who appeared here was none other than Xiao Minghuang, who had crossed over from the Endless Sea of ​​East.

“Amitabha…” Facing the imposing Xiao Minghuang, even though the young monk was a powerful earthly immortal, he couldn’t help but tremble. He took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and bowed: “I am the earthly immortal of Jingguang, and I am ordered by the great Buddha of Bliss to come and welcome the Lord of the Southern Wasteland, Princess Xiao, to the Western Land!”

"Great Blissful World Honored One?"

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly and said, "I came to the Western Land without informing your sect. How did the Great Buddha of Bliss know that I came here?"

The Immortal of Pure Light said: "Princess, you don't know that there is a magical treasure in my Great Xumi Mountain called the Three-Life Stone. It can tell the cause and effect of the past, present and future. All living beings in the world cannot escape the cause and effect..."

Although it was not stated explicitly, it was obvious that these so-called sentient beings in the world also included Xiao Minghuang.

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang chuckled: "This is interesting. When you meet the Great Blissful World Honored One, can you take a look at this treasure?"

"Whatever the princess wishes, it's fine."

The Immortal of Pure Light bowed slightly.

"Ah."

Xiao Minghuang nodded.

Afterwards, under the guidance of the Earth Immortal Jingguang, Xiao Minghuang headed straight for the Pure Land of Bliss, Mount Sumeru.

...

On the way, the immortal Jinguang told Xiao Minghuang some information about the Western Land.

Since the martial law began in Zhongtian Dongji, the Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli located in Dongji moved westward and returned to the foundation of Buddhism, the Western World.

Although the two factions have different ideologies, they are able to work together in the face of the crisis, but there are still differences on how to respond.

"Princess, do you know anything about the origins of Buddhism?"

The Pure Light Earth Immortal asked.

"Buddhism is vast and boundless. I have read some Buddhist scriptures, but I can't say that I have studied them in depth. I can only say that I have a basic understanding of them. I am quite interested in Buddhism."

Xiao Minghuang nodded.

"The princess is very talented. Not only has she attained enlightenment in the Mystical Sect and become the master of a world, she has also spared the energy to master Buddhism. I, a humble monk, have been sitting in meditation for who knows how many years, but I am afraid that I can hardly achieve half of the princess's achievements..."

The Immortal of Pure Light shook his head and sighed.

"Fellow Taoist is so complimentary."

In this era, Taoism was flourishing and Buddhism had been in decline for a long time. Although she was quite interested in Buddhism, she did not follow its path, so she was not worthy of the praise from the Immortal Jingguang.

"Princess, you know that the founder of our Buddhism is not one, but two. One is called the Buddha of Paradise, and the other is called the Buddha of Glaze. The former founded Buddhism in the Western Land and practiced the path to Nirvana; the latter left for the Eastern Land and founded Buddhism in the Eastern Land, the Glaze Pure Land, and practiced the path to Bodhi."

"Both Buddhas have the heart to save all sentient beings, but their ideas are different. The Buddha of Bliss advocates saving oneself before saving others. If one does not become a Buddha himself, how can one save others and make them Buddhas?"

"The Glass Buddha advocates saving others before saving oneself. If all living beings cannot become Buddhas, how can one become a Buddha first?"

The immortal Jinguang spoke slowly and leisurely, as if he was telling about something in the past.

"I see..."

Xiao Minghuang knew that the Eastern Pure Land of Liuli had long since declined, with only a handful of disciples left. Almost every generation had only one disciple, which might have something to do with their way of practicing.

"If the princess is interested in studying Buddhism, she can visit the Pure Land Sutra Pavilion."

The immortal Jingguang invited.

"If there is a chance, I will definitely bother you!"

Xiao Minghuang responded politely.

Then, she brought up the invasion of Dongji.

"I heard that the Holy Academy sent the holy lands, aristocratic families and dynasties to march westward in large numbers. Many beautiful places in the Western World have fallen into the hands of Dongji. I wonder what you think about this?"

She asked straight to the point.

Hearing Xiao Minghuang's question, the Pure Light Earth Immortal was silent for a moment, and then he said: "My Western Buddhist sect has always been at peace with the world and does not interfere in external affairs. The actions of the Holy Academy are really puzzling. In my opinion, we can send an envoy to the Eastern Pole to inquire about the reason and resolve the conflict..."

"Do you really think so, fellow Taoist?"
