Li Qingshan planted the Sky Climbing Vine on the remnant island of the Xuanming Cave Abode. He casually used the Qilin's ability and the green vines grew rapidly, stretching out tentacles as they climbed up. Plants like ivy and dodder, however, had no support at all and soared straight up into the clouds.
The top of the vine reached an extremely high altitude and suddenly pierced into the void, continuing to grow.
"You can go now," Li Qingshan clapped his hands as if he had just finished a small task and was dusting off unnecessary dust.
Princess Qin, however, did not move and said with a bitter expression, "You said you would send me back."
"That's right, the Heavenly Dao is above us!"
"Who knows? Maybe it's the Hungry Ghost Realm? Maybe it's the Demon Realm? And even if it's the Heavenly Dao, I'm just a weak girl. Maybe I'll fall into the hands of the bad guys and enter the wolf's den after leaving the tiger's den. "
As Princess Qin spoke, she was on the verge of tears.
"If you can't bear to part with me, just say it."
Li Qingshan crossed his arms and curled his lips. No matter what, this girl had the cultivation of five Heavenly Tribulations and could not be considered a weak girl.
"I can't bear to part with you!" Princess Qin tightly grabbed onto Li Qingshan's arm and looked as if she would cry if he didn't accompany her to the Heavenly Dao.
"If Lord is really unwilling, I can't force you. If I meet evil demons, I will definitely protect Lord with my life."
Protect your sister, do we know each other that well?
"Sigh, so troublesome. I'll send you there!"
Actually, Li Qingshan was also a bit curious as to what the Heavenly Dao looked like. Among the six paths of reincarnation, only the Heavenly Dao had not been to. With his current cultivation, it wouldn't be a problem for him to enter and take a look.
Princess Qin's tears turned into a smile, "Thank you, Lord."
Li Qingshan hugged her waist again and they walked into the Sky Climbing Vine together. They followed the winding path up until they reached the border of the Mortal Realm.
Suddenly, a boundless golden light blossomed in front of them. Flowers fell from the sky and golden lotuses appeared on the ground.
The sound of chanting came from the endless light. Even a Kinnaruo like Princess Qin became absent-minded when she heard it.
If one were to look at it from the sea, the Sky-Climbing Vine would be dyed a pure gold color from top to bottom. Then, it would shatter inch by inch, scattering golden powder all over the sky.
"This light … I think I've seen it somewhere before."
In a trance, he saw the Goddess Nuwa mending the sky, the Kylin running, the Phoenix soaring, the golden auspicious clouds, the Buddha smiling …
"Break!"
He gritted his teeth and opened the divine eye on his forehead. All the illusions disappeared.
The golden radiance dimmed a lot, but it didn't dissipate. As far as the eye could see, there was a flourishing garden filled with Golden Leaf Bodhi Trees. The ground was paved with golden bricks, and the sun was shining brightly above.
"Is this … the Heavenly Dao?"
Li Qingshan stepped on the gold bricks and looked up at the sky. For some reason, he felt a strange sense of familiarity and belonging.
At first, he thought that he was the Son of Destiny of the Heavenly Dao, which was why he had such a feeling. After all, he had three sacred bloodlines, so it was not strange for him to be favored by heaven's will.
But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that it wasn't just that …
"Lord, have we arrived?" Princess Qin rubbed her eyes and asked in a daze.
"Who are you asking?"
Li Qingshan said unhappily. He didn't know why he couldn't sense the Heaven Climbing Vine, which meant that his path of retreat had been cut off. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't feel any threat or hostility, he would almost suspect that this was a trap.
"I'm confused."
Princess Qin smiled apologetically. Her smile was gentle and elegant, and the melancholy on her face suddenly disappeared.
The two strolled in the garden. Princess Qin hugged Li Qingshan's arm. At first glance, it seemed like a pair of lovers meeting in the forest.
However, Li Qingshan felt that it was more and more unusual. The mysterious feeling was like the growth of plants. He didn't feel any discomfort, but instead felt extremely comfortable, carefree, and carefree.
This was definitely not the three thousand worlds. A normal world couldn't contain the existence of a Yao God. However, it wasn't like the Six Paths of Reincarnation either. The laws of heaven and earth were hidden very deeply, so deeply that it was difficult to see through them. It was as if they were covered by some kind of power, and it was impossible to determine the nature and source of this power.
Perhaps this meant that this world was a higher level world than the Human Path and Yao Beast Path. Or perhaps it was a special attribute of the Heavenly Path, like the Hell Path.
"Lord, this doesn't seem to be the Heavenly Path."
Princess Qin bit her lips as if she couldn't believe it. Her eyes were filled with inconceivable surprise.
"Hmm? Are you sure? "
"This seems to be … the Western Paradise."
Li Qingshan's body trembled as if he had been struck by lightning. "What did you say?!"
"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong. This is the Western Paradise! That was great! Great! "
Princess Qin was so excited that her body trembled. A breeze blew over, and she let go of Li Qingshan's arm. She leaped into the air and actually danced among the Bodhi Tree. She let out a bell-like laughter, extremely happy.
Li Qingshan was dumbfounded. He stood there in a daze. "I've gone to the Western Paradise!?"
How could a normal person go to the Western Paradise just like that?
All of a sudden, he remembered where he had seen that golden light. It was in the battle of Black Cloud City. Abbot Yangon had sacrificed himself, and a ray of light had fallen from the sky and taken away his soul. That light seemed to be called the Buddha's Light of Guidance!
"Lord, meeting you is Qin's greatest fortune in this life."
Princess Qin returned to him and bowed. She was as happy as a little girl. "I'm simply too lucky. In the words of Daoism, fortune and misfortune are interdependent, and misfortune turns to fortune!"
"Didn't you want to return to the Heavenly Path?"
"The Heavenly Path? How can the Heavenly Path compare to the Western Paradise? "
Most celestials believed in Buddhism, and their greatest wish was not to pass the tribulation and become immortals, but to enter the Western Paradise.
Buddha said, "Why is that place named Western Paradise? All living beings in the country have no suffering and can enjoy all kinds of pleasures, hence the name Western Paradise. "
After entering the Western Paradise, one would be able to completely break away from the Five Impure Evil World. They would not suffer from greed, anger, delusion, slowness, and doubt, and they would not fall into the Five Decrepit Realms.
The Western Paradise was blessed by the Buddha's Great Compassion Wish. There were no demons outside, no worries inside, and one's lifespan was eternal.
The word "Western Paradise" was definitely not a lie.
"How can you be sure that this is the Western Paradise?" Li Qingshan did not believe that there was such a good thing in the world.
Princess Qin smiled and said, "Lord, listen carefully."
Li Qingshan listened carefully. When the wind blew past the Golden Leaf Bodhi Tree, it was not the sound of normal leaves rustling. There was a wondrous rhythm to it, and it had a metallic tinkling sound. There was also the sound of birds singing, which formed a wondrous music that made people feel intoxicated and tranquil.
Buddha said, "All living beings in this land will chant Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha when they hear this sound."
"I couldn't help but dance in the sky when I heard this sound."
"Maybe we just entered a Buddhist holy land by mistake." Li Qingshan continued to refute, and he was more inclined to believe that he had fallen into a trap.
Princess Qin faintly smiled and tapped his chest with her slender finger. "I originally had a lot of resentment towards you. I blamed you for taking my chastity, but I also blamed you for not being kind to the fairer sex. However, I was grateful to you for saving my life, so I couldn't help but want to rely on you and make you my dao companion. That's why I lured you to the Heavenly Law, hoping that you would change your mind. I was really worried. "
"However, after coming to this Western Paradise, I suddenly felt relieved. There was no resentment or hatred in my heart. Instead, I was filled with gratitude. I felt that this was a fortuitous encounter bestowed by the heavens. Why should I let fate take its course? Why worry about personal feelings? I don't hope to be together with Lord, I just hope that Lord is well. If it wasn't the Western Paradise, what other place could be so wondrous? "
Li Qingshan squinted his eyes and looked over. Princess Qin's words were filled with sincerity. There was no falsehood at all. He should have felt apologetic and moved, but instead, he felt a chill in his heart.
He couldn't help but look at himself and found that the Ox Demon, Tiger Demon, Ape Demon, and other demonic thoughts were weakening.
Letting go of his obsession, forgetting his anger, and no longer being obsessed, was this a good thing?
It had to be said that it made him feel very happy and comfortable. He had never felt so relaxed in his life. However, it also made him feel an indescribable fear.
With his Yao God cultivation and his identity as the descendant of the Demonic God.
This world was actually able to silently affect his thoughts. Other than the legendary Western Paradise, where else could it be?
In the face of the Buddha's Great Compassion Wish, what was the faith of a little demon god?
Li Qingshan said decisively, "No, I can't stay here!"
"Why?" Princess Qin was extremely shocked and almost wanted to ask, "Are you stupid?"
"I promised to send you back to the Heavenly Law, but this isn't the Heavenly Law. Also, don't forget that we snuck in here. Maybe someone will come and chase us away immediately. They might even say that they don't want to kill us. "
"Lord, you promised me a goat carriage and a deer carriage, but now you gave me a white ox carriage. I can't be happier! Not to mention me, even Buddha won't blame you. You might as well say that Buddha did it. "
"You're looking down on this Western Paradise too much, using the Heavenly Law as a comparison. The Celestials are arrogant, reserved, and stingy. Buddha is merciful and boundless, so why would anyone chase us away or even kill us? Those who aren't fated will go through thousands of twists and turns. Those who are fated will ascend to the Western Paradise. If you're here, then you're here. If you're fated, then you're fated. "
Princess Qin smiled and sighed. She shook her head with an expression of being enlightened. Her words were filled with the meaning of zen. She had already drawn a clear line between herself and the lowly Celestials.
Li Qingshan felt his balls ache. This could be considered as being illuminated by the lighthouse of democracy and freedom, so he still ran in.
His biggest worry right now was whether there was some kind of conspiracy here. He was afraid that Buddha would suddenly appear and slap him to death with Buddha's Palm.
"Um, Princess Qin, why do you think we're being guided here? Is it because your piety moved Buddha?"
"Of course not. I've always done nothing, so how can I be guided by Buddha's light? Sir, do you have a vocation? "
"Writing novels?" He remembered that he was a disciple of a novel school. Writing novels was his vocation.
"No, I'm talking about a position in the Heavenly Palace."
"I've just passed the sixth Heavenly Tribulation not long ago. I don't have any connections, so how can I have a position?"
"That's right. I think you've been chosen as the Celestial General of Sangha."
Li Qingshan had heard of this term before. The so-called "Divine General of Sangharama" was the "Divine Protector General" of buddhism. It was another path, another system, outside of the heavenly palace. It was the path that monks walked.
He remembered that Mahesvara was also one of the heavens, so it could also belong to Buddhism. Celestial Demons were also gods and Buddhas.
And a long, long time ago, he was a layman disciple of Buddhism.
Damn, this really was chanting Buddha, chanting Dharma, chanting Sangha!
"Sir, you're fated with Buddha!"
Thus, he remembered that all the monks he had met in his life seemed to have said the same thing!
He had always treated these words as a joke. Even if Abbot Yangon came to persuade him, his will couldn't be shaken.
Never would he have thought that his words would come true. He accidentally entered the Pure Land of Bliss and became the Celestial General of Sangha.
"What an ill-fated fate!"
