Leaving Yellow Sand City, heading west all the way. Everything seen along the way is people inclined towards Buddhism, even when driven to such desolate desert in the Western Regions, Buddhism can still take deep root and spread faith.
Or rather, it should be said that the harsher the land, the more the people place their hope in gods and Buddhas. For faith to thrive within the world, many calamities are necessary.
As Buddhism says, the world is a vast Sea of Suffering, if there were no suffering, who would believe in Buddha?
On Qingyu's journey, what he witnessed was devotion and numbness, numbness from suffering, devotion for hope.
These devoted Buddhist disciples travel from west to east in droves.
'The Buddhists are advancing east,' Qing Yu observed the many Buddhist disciples migrating east, he understood Buddha's intentions no doubt.
After bearing patience in the Western Regions for ten years, Buddha couldn't hold back anymore and intends to preach in the Central Plains. Once these Buddhist disciples mix into the Central Plains, each person is like a drop of ink, spreading out to dye the entire Central Plains in black.
A new round of Daoist Orthodoc conflict may be coming soon.
Qing Yu turned opposite to the path of the Buddhist disciples, stepping into the vast yellow sands.
"It seems I have co at the right ti."
························
Amidst the vast yellow sands, a rising peak holds a pure and solemn Pure Land, surrounded by three mountain-high Buddha statues, standing above the Desert.
This is the Ancestor Court Nalanda Temple of Buddhism, the sacred land of the Peacock Remnant in the past, now the dwelling of Buddha.
Ever since Buddha descended into the Western Regions, this Ancestor Court of Buddhism is true to its na, bringing countless people inclined towards Buddhism across mountains and waters to co, even the endless yellow sands of the desert cannot halt their steps.
Buddhist people are talented too. Buddha was driven to the Western Regions, yet the Buddhists say Buddha voluntarily entered the Western Regions, to save the suffering people of the Western Regions. And Central Plains people who wish to see Buddha must endure great hardships, travel west, and conquer this vast desert to enter this sacred place to see Buddha.
"It's all just gimmicks."
Qing Yu stepped into the region enveloped by Buddha Light of Nalanda Temple, his body containing Buddha Energy, rging with Buddha Light. Throughout Nalanda Temple, except for Buddha, no one sensed a foreigner rging into Buddha Light, even Buddha only sensed the intrusion but couldn't identify the visitor.
However, in today's world, aside from himself, only two others possess this skill, Buddha can guess who the intruder is.
"Buddha Skill is refined to such extent, even I cannot accurately track your position, Xuan Venerate, it's you isn't it."
Inside the Grand Hall, Buddha sat cross-legged on a golden lotus platform, golden light flickering in his eyes, speaking lightly.
"It is I." Qing Yu's figure appeared inside the hall.
"Xuan Venerate is not competing with Dao Ancestor in Central Plains, why co to this Western land?" Buddha asked lightly, "Would it be you fancy this Western Region and intend to seize our last foothold?"
"The Western Region is indeed too desolate and harsh, I don't fancy it," Qing Yu smiled at Buddha, "Buddha must not fancy it either, or why else move the Buddhist disciples east?"
"It seems, Buddha also wishes to play a hand in the Central Plains' chess ga."
"Isn't it afraid that Dao Ancestor and Xuan Venerate get bored, but by seeing Xuan Venerate, doesn't seem like you mind Buddhism entering Central Plains." Buddha said a bit surprised.
"Not much bothered." Qing Yu said honestly.
"In fact, not just I don't mind, Dao Ancestor seems not minding too."
At this point, a trace of shadow flashed in Qing Yu's eyes.
For the last ten years, Qing Yu has deliberately maintained a stalemate with the Taoist, letting the situation stay mild without wishing to stir up major storms.
What arouses his curiosity and suspicion is, not only Qing Yu wishing to maintain the situation, so does the Dao Ancestor.
Six years ago, Taoist power filled the whole Central Province, as long as Dao Ancestor commands, Taoists dare rush out from the Central Province to seize territory from the Mystical Demon Sect. But strangely, Dao Ancestor not only didn't command preaching outside Central Province but even demanded those ready Taoists to firmly hold Central Province, absolutely not take a step further.
At the ti, this command caused Taoists to be puzzled, also left the Buddhists ready to enter the Central Plains full of doubt.
And Qing Yu, since then has been on highest alert against Dao Ancestor, because he also commanded not to provoke conflict.
"Buddha do you know? Dao Ancestor may have other plans, as am I, we both do not value the Daoist Orthodoc disputes, it's only you, always pondering Buddha spreading to the world, establishing Buddha Country on earth." Qing Yu spoke with a mysterious smile.
"What do you an by this?" Buddha felt suspicious, eyeing Qing Yu who suddenly spoke strange words cautiously.
Where there's anomaly there's demon, Qing Yu's visit today is certainly not just idle chat.
Qing Yu noticed Buddha's wary, straightforwardly said, "Actually, I ca today to see Buddha off."
"Buddha," Qing Yu said seriously, "could you please return to Western Heaven?"
"Request to return to Western Heaven? Hahaha······ "
Buddha laughed aloud, "Not to ntion where I reside is exactly Western Heaven, solely relying on your power, can you send to Western Heaven?"
"Qing Yu, even Heavenly Dao can only imprison for thousands of years, cannot kill , how can you send west?"
"It's different," Qing Yu shook his head, "Heavenly Dao is heartless without spirit, just rigidly adhering to heaven's rules, without Avatar for carrying, it possesses beyond our power but cannot wield enough ability to kill us.
Ultimately, Heavenly Dao's volu spreads throughout heaven and earth, compared to us, it's too cumberso. But for Tao Realm like us it's another story."
Qing Yu said here, mocked laughingly, "Buddha, when you arrived on earth, why not consider important. Naturally because I cultivate Buddha, Dao, and demon, though learned broadly, yet difficult to achieve Tao in these three Martial Arts, especially Buddha and Dao, in these two Martial Arts, I could never surpass you and Dao Ancestor as pioneers."
"Can't surpass, thus subject to you both, perhaps will beco your resources one day. So at the ti you and Dao Ancestor in fact didn't concern ."
It's Qing Yu not prioritizing on Buddha and Dao, but walking his own path, else truly be restrained by these two pioneers.
In fact, this third Tao Realm achiever, if not Qing Yu blessed naturally, any other person might suffer under these two sly foxes.
Age is wealth too, living so long, even pigs beco immortals. Dao Ancestor and Buddha prepared how much, plotted how many tis, no one knows.
However, all this matters not now. What's crucial now is Qing Yu can he fix Buddha.
