The heavens and earth are vast and boundless.
.........
"The vast heavens, why do you treat so harshly!" The shadowy figure enshrouded in darkness was frantically running, trying to escape this city.
Others did not recognize it, but he did in the end.
The shadowy figure trembled as he glanced back, fixating on the nine-hundred-zhang mountain standing at the very center of the city—Kunlun!
This mountain was certainly not the true Kunlun, how could Kunlun be rely nine hundred zhang?
Yet it was exactly the sa as Kunlun, perhaps even...
The shadowy figure swallowed hard, staring at the temple, the Taoist Palace, and the academy at the mountain top.
All three were rather blurry, as if all were fond of being shrouded in mist,
yet he could vaguely make out the forms of the temple and the Taoist Palace.
The forr was clearly the ’Great Leiyin Temple’, the latter resembled the Jade Void Palace!!
The academy was completely indistinguishable, but he could guess it...might it not be the Supre Saint Academy of the Supre Saint?
"The vast heavens, why do you treat so harshly!"
The shadowy figure mournfully sighed once more.
He had sched for so many years, paid such a huge price to return early, and what was the result?
All vanished overnight!
"No, no, I don’t know who he is, but he must not be the genuine Tathagata... but from where did Wa co?"
The figure mumbled to himself:
"He absolutely does not know of my matters—even if he truly is the Tathagata, he may not necessarily be aware of my sches!"
"I can still take another path, find a new opportunity, indeed, indeed..."
The shadowy figure ran out of the city, when nearing Chang’an Town, he confird multiple tis that he was not exposed, only then did he remove the shadows from his body.
His appearance was revealed.
Li Xiuyuan took a slight, deep breath, looking towards Chang’an Town. At this mont, the Celestial Humans and Innate ones in the town were also in a state of panic,
still imrsed in the terrifying celestial phenonon that had just occurred.
"The Buddha!" A Celestial Human trembled, "It seems a true Buddha, from the heights of High Heaven, from Ling Mountain, has descended in the distant city...."
This Celestial Human took a deep breath, murmuring to himself:
"If that is the case, does it an we have no chance left? The great opportunity in Chang’an Town..."
Almost everyone believed that a true Buddha descended at this mont, issuing a mighty lion’s roar, to claim the opportunity in Chang’an Town,
even in the three residences where no Celestial Humans approached, many thought the sa.
Wei Bushi paced back and forth, Yuan Tiandao divined incessantly,
while in the Martial Mansion, within Yama Hall.
"World-Honored One Tathagata..."
Emperor Tang murmured, with a look of shock and fear on his face.
Only those from the old world truly understood what the World-Honored One Tathagata actually ant.
The most revered and supre being of Ling Mountain....
Other people residing in the Martial Mansion were bewildered and surprised, the Old Master asked:
"You seem to know the World-Honored One Tathagata well?"
The Old Master scrutinized this dignified middle-aged man. One or two months ago, he, along with Wei Lingzhu, Zhang Wentao, and Zhou Shuhua, were brought into the Martial Mansion by this mysterious person,
as claid by this mysterious person Li Erfeng, he acted on Zhang Fusheng’s words.
The Old Master mostly believed it,
thinking that the other party had no need to lie—this mysterious mansion, solemn and heavy, tens of thousands of souls lined up, and a thousand or so Innate Fierce Ghosts!
Like the legendary Underworld.
"Very well acquainted." Emperor Tang spoke in a low tone: "If it truly is the World-Honored One Tathagata I know..."
Murmuring, he suddenly shivered, recalling an ancient legend.
Laozi left Hangu Pass, left behind the Dao De Jing of five thousand words, then transford into Shakyamuni Tathagata, teaching and transforming the common people.
Then...could it be the ancestor?
Emperor Tang was suddenly joyous, a smile graced his face, the few beside him were all bewildered by what they saw.
After a while.
Emperor Tang exhaled a breath, once again sat upright on the seat of Yama, solemnly stating:
"The specifics are still unknown, so I cannot speak much—let us just continue to quietly observe the changes."
The Old Master raised his eyebrows, saying nothing more, his thoughts turning in myriad directions.
He pondered.
Where exactly did Master Zhang go, why has he not appeared yet?
Amidst his thoughts, outside Chang’an Town.
Li Xiuyuan circled the town, found several people waiting there.
"The Buddha has descended, not an ordinary Buddha."
The Yellow Teeth Old Man reflected, Jiang Feiniao quietly listened, while Ruan Yutu’s eyes shined brightly.
Cui Linglong asked:
"Is he the person you are looking for?"
Li Xiuyuan was silent for a mont, then nodded:
"Yes, it’s him."
The Yellow Teeth Old Man raised his eyebrows:
"You once said your purpose in coming to Chongyang was to find the World-Honored One, then to serve him as your master, in this way completing certain destined events..."
"But now that the World-Honored One has truly appeared, why have you returned?"
Li Xiuyuan lowered his eyelids, hiding his flickering gaze:
"I am not ready yet."
"Moreover, at this mont, that World-Honored One is summoning many Celestial Humans, seemingly to forge so.....High Heaven City?"
Everyone fell silent, their thoughts varied.
High Heaven City?
Only Ruan Yutu continued to have brilliant eyes, lightly speaking:
"I am going to Chang’an Town, there are so things I need to do."
"Sister Jade Rabbit, what things?" Jiang Feiniao curiously asked: "Nowadays, Chang’an Town isn’t that easy to enter. It’s swarming with Celestial Humans and Innate ones, from major powers everywhere."
Ruan Yutu just smiled:
"Things that the World-Honored One asked to do."
Everyone present was shocked, suddenly realizing—with a start—that they had not noticed——even before the World-Honored One was the World-Honored One, ten days before the Buddha’s descent,
the glistening porcelain doll was already following this young maiden like an Immortal!
Li Xiuyuan hung his head, concealing his shifting thoughts, ultimately suppressing the impulse to seize this maiden there and then.
Once detected by the terrifying presence in the distant city, even his last route of retreat would be gone.
