From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

What God does not take, is to be blamed.

"In that case, thank you very much, Abbot!"

Xiao Minghuang smiled and bowed to the Great Buddha of Bliss.

The next moment, she took the San Sheng Stone into her body without any hesitation.

"boom--!"

In an instant, Xiao Minghuang's whole body burst into a blazing golden light, like a rising sun, illuminating all directions, driving away the darkness, and rendering this dilapidated temple dazzling and brilliant.

At this moment, a vast and majestic aura burst out from her.

Then, a pure white three-hole divine stone shot out from her body and floated in the air.

It was as crystal clear as glass, exuding a holy aura. An indescribable pressure spread out, filling every inch of space.

After being separated from the source of the Western Land, the Three Lives Stone was expelled from Xiao Minghuang's body.

Perhaps the Heavenly Daos of the five directions and one world had already been integrated and merged into one. After Xiao Minghuang integrated the Heavenly Dao of the Southern Wilderness, he had no obstacles when accepting the Heavenly Dao of the Western Land again.

Soon, the two ways of heaven merged into one.

An inexplicable mysterious feeling lingered around Xiao Minghuang, causing an indescribable look to appear between her brows.

hum!

For a moment, there were countless rays of light, thousands of auspicious colors, morning bells and evening drums, fairy music, and the sky was full of flowers...

A ray of auspicious light fell on Xiao Minghuang, and turned into a gilded feather robe, shining brightly, making her look noble and elegant, like an empress above the nine heavens, looking down upon the sky.

Countless magical symbols emerged from thin air, flying around her body, transforming into various strange appearances, colliding countless times in an instant, and turning into the shadow of an upright, majestic and boundless empress, which was exactly the appearance of Xiao Minghuang.

Almost at the same moment.

In every corner of the Western world, any living being that could sense spiritual energy and the way of heaven had been conveyed a message.

Western Heavenly Path...

Changed ownership!

All of a sudden, all kinds of strange phenomena appeared, shocking the Western world.

An invisible will coming from the depths of the soul and from the void between heaven and earth drives all the creatures in the Western World to submit to their new king!

"My Lord, the Great Emperor, is eternal and limitless!"

Countless monks looked at the Dharma image of heaven and earth in the distant sky, knelt on the ground and worshiped.

This is the submission of all living beings in the West that comes from the root, and they obey it involuntarily!

"We, have met our Lord, the Great Emperor!"

"Meet our Lord, the Great Emperor!"

.....

The pious cries echoed throughout the area.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Xiao Minghuang intuitively felt that she could dominate the world. Within this realm, she was omnipotent!

This is an indescribable feeling, as if there is an invisible force blessing her.

She hadn't experienced this feeling since leaving the Southern Wilderness, but now she felt it again.

"call..."

After a long time, Xiao Minghuang slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

At this moment, she has become the ruler of the Western world!

Although, she has only integrated the source of the Western Realm for the time being and has not yet gained the recognition of all living beings, it is only a matter of time.

Xiao Minghuang collected his thoughts, retracted his gaze, and looked towards the Great Buddha of Bliss not far away.

At this moment, the old monk, who was originally skinny and frail, seemed to have become even older and more frail, and it seemed that he would die of exhaustion at any moment.

After integrating the source of the Western Realm, Xiao Minghuang learned that the original agent of the Western Heavenly Dao was the Great Buddha of Bliss who looked very old in front of him.

Xiao Minghuang knew that the Great Buddha of Bliss did not agree with his idea. It would not be an exaggeration to say that people with different beliefs cannot work together. However, he was still willing to offer the source of the Western Realm with both hands.

"Thank you, abbot!"

She bowed solemnly to the Great Blissful Buddha and said sincerely, "Can I ask why?"

At this moment, Xiao Minghuang knew clearly in his heart that the Great Buddha of Bliss chose to surrender not only because he was afraid of his own strength.

There must be some reason behind this, otherwise, he would never have made such a decision.

"Amitabha...."

After a long time, the Great Blissful Buddha sighed and slowly said, "I am already a rotten tree, I won't live much longer..."

"There is no Bodhi tree, nor is there a mirror stand. There is nothing at all, so where can dust gather..."

The words fell.

Xiao Minghuang immediately understood.

The reason why the Great Buddha of Bliss behaved like this was not just because he was afraid of himself.

He made this decision because his life was coming to an end and he only had one breath left.

In other words, he wanted to use this last bit of his life to leave a glimmer of hope for the Western world.

He had no hope of continuing to practice his teachings in this life, so he decided to help others do their job.

Xiao Minghuang sighed deeply, isn't this just a case of a dying man saying good things?

But if we look at it from another perspective, the Great Buddha of Bliss practiced his own path through his own nirvana.

The so-called path to Nirvana is to save yourself before saving others.

If you want to truly achieve the path to Nirvana, you must follow the path of reincarnation and the laws of nature.

Then, he cannot resist death.

In other words, if he wants to achieve enlightenment, he must die.

How difficult.

How stupid!

Xiao Minghuang could neither understand nor agree with it.

After thinking about it, when she looked at the Great Buddha of Bliss again, she realized that the old monk had closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation. He had no breath at all, as if he was in nirvana.

Xiao Minghuang's face condensed slightly, and he hurriedly checked, but could not find a trace of life. In the withered body in front of him, the original spirit dissipated, the immortal energy returned to the heavens, the Purple Mansion Cave Heaven collapsed rapidly, and the true spirit had disappeared.

Obviously, the Great Buddha of Bliss has passed away.

Xiao Minghuang shook his head, a trace of compassion arose in his heart, and he whispered: "Amitabha, rest in peace, Abbot..."

502. The Buddha's Passing Away

The corpse of the Great Buddha of Bliss lay quietly on the ground, without any signs of life. Even the bones in his body had been corroded and turned into ashes.

Xiao Minghuang looked again and found a flickering golden light, as tiny as a firefly, but when he sensed it carefully, it seemed boundless and huge, as vast as trillions of miles.

"Huh? This is..."

Xiao Minghuang knew that after the death of a Buddhist monk, his remains would have a certain chance of turning into relics, which contained great wisdom and great fortune.

The sarira is golden in color, looks natural, and has dense Sanskrit inscriptions on the surface, which contains a strong Buddhist aura.

As the Three-Life Stone was separated from the source of the world, and with the passing of the Great Buddha of Bliss, the magic array in the dilapidated temple lost its effectiveness and was exposed to the outside world.

The monks from the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss rushed over. After the recent change in the order of heaven, they of course knew that the great Buddha of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss had passed away.

In an instant, all the monks were heartbroken and wailed, and the entire dilapidated temple was filled with an atmosphere of mourning.

"Abbot!"

"May Buddha have mercy on me!"

"Amitabha..."

Many monks knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Xiao Minghuang stood there silently.

At this time, the Pure Light Earth Immortal suddenly looked at her and said sadly: "Princess, since you have inherited the Way of the Western Land, you are the Buddha Mother of our Buddhist sect. All monks, please follow me to pay homage to the Buddha Mother!"

The monks were stunned when they heard this, but soon they reacted and kowtowed and worshipped, saying in unison: "Greetings to the Buddha Mother!"

Xiao Minghuang looked indifferent and ignored him. Instead, she stretched out her hand in the air. With a rumbling sound, the relics of the Great Buddha of Bliss and the Three Lives Stone flew over and hovered in her palm.

"These are the relics of the great Buddha of Paradise and the Three-Life Stone. Please keep them properly."

The Immortal of Pure Light bowed again, stepped forward to accept the relic, and said respectfully: "Buddha Mother, the Three-Life Stone is a magical treasure of the immortal way. From the old Buddha on down, no one can use it. Please keep it for yourself, Buddha Mother!"

Xiao Minghuang nodded without refusing.

Since she is in charge of the Western Heavenly Dao, she will naturally take over the cause and effect of this world as well.

"Buddha Mother, have mercy!"

The Immortal of Pure Light bowed again.

At this moment.

A figure with a hazy Buddha light suddenly appeared. It was a Buddhist immortal. He bowed to Xiao Minghuang and said, "I am the monk Kujie from Bodhi Mountain. I pay my respects to the Buddha Mother!"

"Bodhi Mountain?"

She had heard of the Lapis Lazuli Pure Land and the Great Bodhi Mountain.

That year, the Buddhist disciple of the Lapis Lazuli Pure Land died in her hands.

Xiao Minghuang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you the contemporary Buddha of the Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli?"

Monk Kujie's face trembled slightly, and he quickly denied it, "The Lapis Lazuli Pure Land has been passed down from generation to generation. Now, only my disciple and I are living in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. How dare I call myself a sage in front of the Buddha Mother?"

"Okay, all monks, please go yourselves. I have something to discuss with Zen Master Jingguang and Zen Master Kujie." Xiao Minghuang waved his hand, signaling the monks to disperse.

When there were only three people left here.

Xiao Minghuang looked at the two of them and said, "Now in Buddhism, there are only two people left who are at the Earthly Immortal Realm?"

The two looked at each other, and the Earth Immortal Jingguang smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, after the passing of the old Buddha, there are only two of us who are qualified to be Earth Immortals in the great Buddhist sect..."

"Buddhism is profound and vast, and is very different from Taoism, but there has never been a master who can carry on the tradition and bring it to the future..."

"Let's not talk about that." Xiao Minghuang paused, looked at the Pure Light Earth Immortal and said, "Before, I asked you how you saw the East Extreme Westward Advance..."

She had just said half of her words when the Earth Immortal Jinguang interrupted her and said, "Buddha Mother, please allow me to report!"

"The armies of the aristocratic dynasties from the holy places of Zhongtian and Dongji are approaching our borders, wantonly slaughtering innocent people in our Western Land. So far, countless monks and creatures have died under their butcher knives. I beg the Buddha Mother to have mercy on me and save the sentient beings in the Western Land from suffering!"

The tone of the Earth Immortal Jingguang was passionate, and every word he spoke was heart-wrenching, making people cry when they heard it.

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang couldn't help but be startled, looking at him with a smile and said: "I remember, you didn't say that at that time!"

The bitter mustard earth immortal also looked at the pure light earth immortal with deep meaning, as if he wanted to get to know him all over again.

"what..."

The Immortal of Pure Light coughed and said, "The Buddha said: All things are impermanent, all dharmas are formless, seeing the form is not the form... you can realize nirvana and tranquility..."

"Alright, alright!" Xiao Minghuang waved his hands and said with a smile, "Master Jingguang's Buddhist teachings are profound, I am not as good as him!"

"I will deal with all the supreme beings and earthly immortals in the Western Land, and I will leave the remaining small fish and shrimps to you two, okay?"

The eyes of the Pure Light Earth Immortal shone with brilliance, and his face was filled with joy: "Mother Buddha, have mercy!"

"Buddha Mother, have mercy!"

The bitter mustard fairy was even more excited.

They haven't finished speaking yet.

Xiao Minghuang raised his right hand slightly, and an invisible transparent platinum sword appeared in his hand, engraved with ancient and mysterious runes of the Great Dao. The sharp aura spread across the eight wildernesses and six directions, almost making the surrounding void vaguely distorted.
