I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

“Does the Western Desert abound in Bodhi trees and lotuses? Along the way, these two types of plants make up the majority.”

Luo Mo found a temple to ask for a message to be sent, then crossed the great domain to the Western Desert, traveling with Jue Youqing, a prodigy of the Western Desert.

Jue Youqing wore a white robe and possessed an otherworldly temperament. This female Bodhisattva possessed talent far surpassing ordinary people in cultivation and Buddhist teachings, hence the Buddhist name Jue Youqing, which is of great significance in Buddhism.

“In the distant past, the Western Desert was covered in golden sand and sparse vegetation, with few inhabitants. My Buddha possessed great wisdom and compassion. After attaining enlightenment, he measured every inch of the Western Desert on foot. Wherever he went, Bodhi trees grew and lotuses bloomed, transforming the desert into a pure land.”

Jue Youqing smiled and said, "Now, large areas of the Western Desert are suitable for human habitation, no longer as desolate and barren as they were hundreds of thousands of years ago."

“It seems that Emperor Amitabha is very fond of Bodhi trees and lotuses.”

“The Buddhist temples on Mount Sumeru record that my Buddha attained enlightenment under a Bodhi tree and was baptized with a green lotus seed, hence his preference for Bodhi and lotus.”

“Could this green lotus be…”

“It seems that Brother Jiang has also heard of it. In the distant past, there may have been a Green Lotus Immortal Medicine, but later…”

“Later, he attained enlightenment and became an emperor, right?”

Jue Youqing nodded, “Brother Jiang indeed knows. There are rumors that Emperor Qing attained enlightenment from the Green Lotus Immortal Medicine, but this has not yet been proven.”

The two walked side by side. Ahead, a divine mountain stood tall. Even with eyes closed, one could feel their primordial spirit being pulled towards it, their hearts yearning for it, a natural power emanating from it.

Mount Sumeru.

“Since Brother Jiang wants to tour the Western Desert, I will take Brother Jiang from this Ashoka Plateau, past Ashoka Lake, to Mount Sumeru.”

“Okay.”

Mount Sumeru, a magnificent name, is the supreme immortal emperor of Buddhism. This most ancient immortal mountain is not only famous in the Beidou Starfield, but also has countless legends in other ancient starfields, representing the foundation of Buddhism, with great significance. It was only after Emperor Amitabha attained enlightenment that he moved it to the Western Desert of Beidou Star, waiting for the path to immortality.

Mount Sumeru is too large, towering into the sky, majestic and vast. Legend has it that it is 84,000 yojanas high, with one yojana being about 10,000 meters. Calculating it this way, it could pierce through Beidou, which is an exaggerated description.

But the magnificence of Mount Sumeru is evident, making it the most in Beidou. Although Undying Mountain has demonic nature, it cannot be compared to it, unless Kunlun of Earth is brought in for comparison.

Mount Sumeru is the main mountain, and around it are several other divine mountains, equally magnificent, with silver waterfalls cascading down. Luo Mo could see the extraordinary nature of these divine mountains at a glance. There are divine veins inside, which may have been transplanted from other places.

Chanting sounds echoed from several divine mountains, with divine light shining, setting off the central Mount Sumeru even more grandly.

As they traveled, they could only see a body of water surrounding the foot of the mountain from afar, but upon reaching the front, they realized that this body of water was very vast, like a sea.

“This is the Seven Treasure Pond. The water in the pond is called Eightfold Water, which is clear, sweet, moistening, and peaceful. It can nourish the roots. Buddhist pilgrims travel thousands of miles to come here. Drinking a bowl of Eightfold Water can remove impurities, purify the body, clarify the mind, nourish the six roots, and stay away from sickness.”

Jue Youqing explained, then took out a wooden lotus-patterned small bowl, scooped a bowl of water with her fair hand, and gave it to Luo Mo, “Brother Fang, please.”

The Seven Treasure Pond contains a massive amount of Buddhist light and thought power. If Jue Youqing had not drawn water for him, even forcibly trying to obtain it would not yield a single drop.

Although the so-called Eightfold Water has various wonderful uses, Luo Mo knew after drinking it that it was also a kind of spiritual spring, but not the kind of life divine spring, but one that focused on nourishing the spirit. The effect of Eightfold Water on nourishing the physical body is average.

“There is a divine spring source in this Seven Treasure Pond.” Luo Mo said with certainty, just like the immortal lake of Yaochi, the water quality of the upper and lower layers is vastly different. The water of the upper layer is only ordinary spiritual spring. One must see the water quality of the lower layer to compare.

“Brother Fang has good eyes. There is indeed a divine spring in this Seven Treasure Pond, but the divine spring is not obvious. Even my Buddhist disciples are not allowed to move it without authorization. Only a small amount flows out each year.”

Luo Mo was quite interested in the divine spring that could nourish the spirit, so he said to Jue Youqing, “I often refine pills, and I am happy to see it. I wonder if I can ask for some divine spring as pill refining material.”

The name of the Pill Refining Grandmaster of Yaoguang Holy Son is still very resounding, and is very famous in Zhongzhou. Luo Mo believed that Jue Youqing should have heard of it as well.

Mount Sumeru is in the clear and clear center of the sea. The Seven Treasure Pond is vast, and Mount Sumeru is even more majestic and huge, magnificent to the point of being indescribable. One can see some magnificent temples located in the mountains.

However, the most famous Great Thunderclap Temple on Mount Sumeru cannot be seen from below. It is located on the top of Mount Sumeru. Even if one cultivates the Heavenly Eye, it will not work, as it is blocked by the mountain.

Especially Luo Mo, a cultivator who cultivates the Eternal Life Technique, can see that the entire Mount Sumeru is glowing, with peaceful and pure thought power lingering, and vast immortal light rising up, like a blessed land of immortals.

Layers of silver brilliance rise, and even faint golden brilliance flows. This is the purest power of faith, added to the mountain, so thick that it cannot be dissolved.

This kind of power is so vast that it makes people's hearts tremble, and cannot be measured at all. Every grass, every tree, every grain of sand, every stone on the entire Mount Sumeru, and every drop of water in the Seven Treasure Pond at the foot of the mountain has Buddhist nature, and has been thoroughly nourished by the brilliance of the power of faith.

This is the accumulation of the thought power of Buddhist disciples from all over the universe for hundreds of thousands of years, and after a long period of accumulation, it has created such an incredible scene today.

Mount Sumeru is like a receiver, receiving the endless power of faith from the Amitabha lineage all over the universe. In many ancient lands of life in the universe, there are Amitabha's lineages. The endless power of faith is not affected by distance, crosses the void, and ultimately all flows to Mount Sumeru.

Mount Sumeru is a divine mountain, and the one who arranged this method is also Emperor Amitabha, which created such a spectacular scene.

Jue Youqing saw Luo Mo looking at Mount Sumeru, his eyes shining with divine light, and did not urge him.

People who come to the holy land of Buddhism for the first time either cannot see the vast power of faith of Mount Sumeru, but those who can see it are all shocked by it.

The Amitabha lineages throughout the universe are providing the power of faith to Mount Sumeru, like several star rivers crossing the cold and desolate universe, like the Milky Way falling down. This kind of scene can only be seen by people with Buddhist nature or great divine powers.

There is no doubt that the Yaoguang Holy Son has Buddhist nature, even stronger than most Buddhist disciples, with a clear spirit and a halo of wisdom formed behind his head, using his divine eyes to see the true scenery of Mount Sumeru.

At this moment, Mount Sumeru's layers of light surged like waves, filling the entire ancient mountain, appearing solemn and sacred, shaking the hearts of people.

Dang—

Dang—

Dang—

The great bell echoed, its long chime shaking the heavens, transmitted from the ancient temples on Mount Sumeru, the bell waves continuous, surging together with the light of faith.

"Amitabha."

"Amitabha."

… …

One by one, old monks in meditation were awakened by the bell, chanting the Buddha's name, and for a time heavenly flowers fell in disorder, divine flowers condensed from the power of faith, paving a road up the mountain.

An old monk appeared in front, his white eyebrows dragging on the ground, behind him appeared dozens of Arhats, each of whom had cultivated a spirit, with Buddha light forming a halo behind their heads, each with a solemn treasure appearance.

But all the Arhats combined were not as compelling as the old monk in the middle. He wore a kasaya, with the sun, moon, and stars shining on it. When he saw Luo Mo, his first sentence was, "Amitabha, benefactor, you have a karmic connection with the Buddha, a natural wisdom root, and few people can compare to your Buddha-nature. I wonder if you are willing to join my Buddhist sect."

Jue Youqing immediately felt uneasy.

Because the Buddhist sect does have this bad habit of converting disciples with wisdom roots back to become Buddhist disciples.

But who is Jiang Li?

The Holy Son of Yaoguang!

The Holy Son of Yaoguang with the posture of a Great Emperor, a natural King Body, able to spread various legends just by cultivating a divine power, basically confirmed as the next Holy Master of Yaoguang, and also has a good brother, an Ancient Holy Body who broke the curse.

If such a character were to be converted into the Buddhist sect, wouldn't the entire Yaoguang take the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron and attack Mount Sumeru?

"Abbot, Holy Son Jiang Li has come from afar, I wonder if you can take some Eight-Fixed Divine Water to refine pills for him."

Jue Youqing quickly announced the name, this is the Holy Son of Yaoguang, please be careful.

"So it is the Holy Son's presence, I wonder if the Holy Son is interested in Buddhism?"

The old monk still did not give up and continued to inquire.

"I do have the intention to disturb for a period of time and discuss with the eminent monks on Mount Sumeru."

The old monk's eyes, narrowed into a slit, opened a little, like a galaxy appearing.

Suddenly, his snow-white long eyebrows twitched, and then he chanted a Buddha's name, "The Dharma is profound, I hope the Holy Son can gain something."

The old monk took a step back and then disappeared before everyone's eyes, which made Jue Youqing breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that he had given up.

Luo Mo was not afraid. He has the Void Divine Pot, the Undying Dragon Spear, and the Devouring Demon Jar. If the Buddhist sect really wants to force him to stay, he can run away.

Moreover, he does not refuse the Buddhist sect's wooing. Isn't the Vajra also an Emperor Weapon?

It's just that there is the belief body of the Amitabha Great Emperor in Mount Sumeru, which is a big pit that will squander all the power of faith accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years, which is really a pity to think about.

Looking at the power of faith all over the ground, it is impossible to say that he is not tempted, but he cannot move it.

Unless he is a Buddhist disciple.

However, the identity of Jiang Li is not possible. Even if the Buddhist sect does not mind, what about Yaoguang's side?

Can't it be like a bear breaking corn?

So, he still has to think of a win-win solution, and in terms of the starting point—

It's decided, it's you, Jue Youqing!

Jue Youqing does not know what Luo Mo is thinking. Even if Luo Mo uses the Great Heart Demon Technique to separate the Great Incarnation Technique, he cannot eavesdrop on his thoughts, because his soul is under the protection of the True Spirit Seal. Even his incarnation cannot eavesdrop across the True Spirit Seal.

Therefore, even in this Buddhist holy land, with many Buddhist monks who have cultivated Heavenly Eye and Heavenly Ear powers, he is not worried.

The Heavenly Eye cannot see through the Emperor Weapon in his body, which is a black hole.

The Heavenly Ear cannot hear the soul protected by the True Spirit Seal, which is soundproof glass.

Just now, the old monk did glimpse a trace of an impenetrable aura, which was about to devour his sight, understanding that the Holy Son of Yaoguang came here with confidence, and that he could not be kept without inviting the Demon Subduing Pestle, so he gave up.

Because inviting the Demon Subduing Pestle would be unreasonable no matter what, forcibly keeping the Holy Son of another family with the power of the Emperor Weapon.

Moreover, the power of the Emperor Weapon is unpredictable and may not be able to keep him. It is impossible for Yaoguang's Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron to be carried by the Holy Son at any time. Could it be another Emperor Weapon?

Could it be that the Holy Son of Yaoguang has obtained the inheritance of other Great Emperors?

It was precisely because he thought of these things that the old monk chanted a Buddha's name and left, knowing that there was no hope.

And these things, Jue Youqing, this young female disciple of the Buddhist sect, does not know at all, but only sighs: "The Holy Son's Buddha-nature is profound, and he can actually make the divine bell on Mount Sumeru ring continuously. Such talent has only occurred two or three times in ancient times."

She did not know what had just happened, but only lamented that Luo Mo's talent was powerful, and he could actually cause Mount Sumeru to move, causing the Buddhist bells to ring one after another.

It should be known that in addition to the Great Thunderclap Temple on Mount Sumeru, there are also many other ancient temples, which are other Buddhist inheritances. Although they do not originate from the Amitabha Great Emperor, they also inherit some powerful Buddhist classics and secret techniques. If it is the first time to come, which temple is suitable to enter, the bell of which temple will ring.

She also explained this to Luo Mo.

"So that's how it is. I thought it was specially welcoming me, I'm a little flattered."

"Before even climbing up, so many bells have already rung. The Holy Son's Buddhist talent is really enviable."

The two went up the mountain together, all the way up, accompanied by Buddhist bells all the way, and one by one Arhats and Bodhisattvas came out from the ancient temples in seclusion to greet them.

Some ancient temples have prosperous incense, but some have no one left, only a large bell vibrates, welcoming his arrival.

"Some temples seem to have no incense. Even if the inheritance is broken, there should be people serving them, right?" Luo Mo asked after seeing it.

Jue Youqing said: "The Buddha saves those who are destined. These ancient temples with no inheritance are also waiting for those who are destined to inherit the incense."

Dangdang—

Two bells actually rang from an ancient temple, which made Luo Mo a little strange, and asked Jue Youqing, "Why does this ancient temple have two Buddhist bells?"

"This is… …"

Jue Youqing couldn't help but have a thin blush on her cheeks, "An ancient temple that cultivates the Joyful Buddha Dharma has always had two Buddhist bells, and now the incense has also been cut off."

"That shouldn't be."

Luo Mo blurted out.

Logically speaking, why should this profound Buddha Dharma be cut off from incense?

Even Jue Youqing, who is a genius disciple of this generation of the Buddhist sect and has profound Buddha Dharma, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Moreover, in front of women, Luo Mo was embarrassed to continue to delve into this topic. If he was with Ye Fan and Li Rui, he would definitely not care about these things and treat them as jokes.

Let's change the topic.

Luo Mo and Jue Youqing do not have a deep friendship. They met at the Yaoguang banquet last time. Jue Youqing wanted a Linlan flower, and Luo Mo shifted to this topic.

"That Linlan flower should have withered, right?"

"I sealed it with fragments of divine source and preserved it," Jue Youqing said.

This kind of divine flower has already become extinct, and she is not very willing to use it. Even Buddhist disciples love this kind of decorative object.
