Western Desert was an ancient divine land with too many legends. Buddhists were everywhere and their faith was pious. It was a land close to the gods.
Amitabha the Great Emperor possessed great wisdom, great benevolence, and great magical power. He had left behind too many legends here and had once made a great aspiration to walk through every inch of land on foot. He personally preached and spread his teachings, creating the glory of Buddhism today.
Western Desert was a great region filled with Buddhists. Even though other inheritances could enter, it was difficult for them to become mainstream. Temples could be seen everywhere, as if lotuses were everywhere.
It had to be said that this was a magnificent scene. A great region only respected one type of doctrine, creating a miracle that had never been seen since ancient times.
This land contained endless mysteries. Arhats, bodhisattvas, and ancient Buddhas walked the mortal world together with all living beings. They produced miracles and saved people from suffering. It was also because of this that Buddhism became increasingly prosperous.
Everyone here worshiped Buddha and were incomparably pious. There were often pilgrims who would kowtow with every step, walking towards the pure land of bliss in their hearts — Mount Meru, even though it would be difficult for them to reach it in their entire lives. From this, one could see how pure their hearts were. Everything they did was for the sake of worshiping Buddha. They had the most sacred faith.
The clear Immeasurable Golden Body Lake, the majestic Bodhisattva Plateau, the majestic Ancient Buddha Mountain … Buddhist holy lands surged with auspicious energy all year round, attracting countless people to come and worship them.
Ye Fan and the monkey crossed over from the Eastern Wasteland and entered this boundless land. It wasn't as they had imagined that there would be golden sand everywhere.
Even though it was called Western Desert, there were mountains and rivers. There were quite a few deserts, but not all of them. There were large areas of fertile land, vast mountains and rivers, and there was no lack of spiritual energy and magnificent scenery.
"Did you notice that this land is different from the other four regions?" As soon as they arrived, the monkey sensed something.
"That's right, there is an extremely pure power. Even though it is indiscernible, it truly exists. Strands of it are flowing through the entire world." Ye Fan was surprised.
It could be said that there weren't many people who could sense this strange scene. It was as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Only the monkey and him, who were born with rare bones, could sense it.
The spiritual energy of Western Desert couldn't compare to the Central Plains. There weren't as many ancestral veins and spiritual energy seeping out. However, there was an extremely pure mysterious power pervading the air.
"What kind of divine power is this? Why can't we absorb it?" The monkey was puzzled.
Ye Fan was surprised and bewildered as well. No matter how he circulated it, it was difficult for him to bring a strand of the mysterious Dao Energy into his body, and it was difficult for him to fuse with it and be used by Ye Fan.
"No wonder there are so many legends about the Western Desert. From ancient times until now, no matter if it's the Demon Race, Archaic creatures, or even the mysterious Divine Spirits from outside the region, none of them are willing to step foot here.
Along the way, they saw quite a few temples, all of them quiet and auspicious. The more such a place was, the more that mysterious power flowed about, strand after strand.
"This is the fluctuation of Buddha nature?!" The two of them looked at each other in astonishment. Just how vast was the Buddhist energy needed to pervade the entire heaven and earth? It was simply vast and unfathomable.
"This is unbelievable. Could it be that the Great Buddha Amitabha is still alive?" Monkey exclaimed. When they thought of this possibility, both of them were stunned.
Other than him, who else would have such an abundant amount of Dharmic energy that could circulate through the entire Western Desert? This was simply unheard of and exceeded the imaginations of others.
From afar, the ancient temple's bell chimed, able to purify one's soul, causing one's heart to resonate with it. They couldn't help but want to convert to Buddhism, wanting to head over and pay their respects, entering the gate of emptiness.
"Too mysterious!" Ye Fan and Monkey felt bewildered in their hearts as countless questions appeared in their hearts. The boundlessness of the Buddhist Dao caused them to feel a trace of emotion.
As they continued on, it was unknown how many tens of thousands of miles they traveled. Finally, they saw a demon, and it was an ancient demon at the peak of the second-level of immortal-foundation. However, it had become a protector of an ancient temple.
"This is too strange, even such a huge demon was converted. Buddhism truly causes people to revere it." The monkey sighed.
At this moment, they finally understood why the Primordial Spirit didn't come to the Western Desert to flaunt his might after he appeared. The fluctuations of Buddha nature were strange and there was a possibility that some of them might be converted.
The Ailan Ancient Temple was a temple with a long history. It was unknown how many tens of thousands of years it had existed. The temple collapsed and was repaired repeatedly, but the incense offerings never stopped.
It was rumored that this was one of the holy temples of Buddhism. Buddha Amitabha once stopped here to preach and discuss the Dao. It was also because of this that this place became a place of pilgrimage.
In front of the ancient temple, there were many people burning incense and worshipping seriously. Smoke rose in spirals, filled with Buddha nature. There was an indescribable fluctuation in this ancient land.
"This place … is truly not simple. It's most probably the place where Buddha Amitabha preached in the past!" Ye Fan's eyes narrowed as he seriously surveyed the place.
He and the monkey headed west and finally saw an extremely famous ancient temple. They naturally wanted to carefully observe it, but in the end, their expressions all changed.
"The more I look at it, the more extraordinary it seems!" This was the monkey's instinctive reaction.
Their embryonic bones were rarely seen throughout the ages. Only in this great era, when the princes of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms broke out of their seals and came to the mortal world, could they be comparable to them.
Maybe, only people like them, who were born with extraordinary bodies, could sense the mysteries of the Western Desert. This was especially so for this type of holy temple.
"There is a type of majestic aura!" Ye Fan said. He calmed his heart and mind and carefully observed the area before him. He discovered that the simple and unadorned temple instantly erupted with endless golden light, illuminating the entire heaven and earth. There was a type of golden Buddha nature radiance spreading outwards.
"What a powerful wave of majestic aura. Endless Buddha light illuminated everything. It was as if there was a great Buddha sitting upright, dignified and divine, inviolable." The monkey said.
Ordinary people couldn't see anything at all. Even if you were a great king or a saint, you could only sense a type of Buddha divinity and wouldn't see any abnormal scenes.
Dang …
The great bell sounded in a long and drawn-out manner, as if it came from the ancient past. Then, chanting rang out, purifying one's spirit, making one feel increasingly tranquil. It was as if one's entire being was sublimated.
The others were all worshipping the Buddha statue in this holy temple. Only Ye Fan and the monkey stood in the distance, quietly watching.
At this moment, they saw through the endless golden light and saw several old monks sitting within the ancient temple. They were bathed in Buddha splendor, their appearances dignified and dignified, not moving at all.
Swoosh!
The old monks all opened their eyes. It was as if they could break through the layers of the temple and also see them. At this moment, the temple pillars and walls couldn't obstruct them. There was only Buddha light between the two parties and nothing else.
"The two benefactors both have true wisdom roots, rarely seen since ancient times. You have seen the true nature of Buddha. Amitabha Buddha." An old monk's voice rang out.
Ye Fan and the monkey cupped their hands in the distance and didn't say anything. Instead, they became much more vigilant. These old monks all had extraordinary powers and the Buddha Sect was unfathomably deep.
Then, they retreated, not wishing to cause any trouble. When they turned around, it was as if there was a great Buddha sitting in the void. There was a type of strange power that was attracting them.
"Just now, in that moment of absent-mindedness, I actually had the thought of converting to Buddhism." The monkey said.
Ye Fan nodded. The two of them looked at each other in dismay, revealing expressions of disbelief. They felt that the Western Desert was shrouded in layers of mist and that it was impossible to speculate.
"Do you think Amitabha Buddha is still alive?" The monkey suddenly spoke.
"That's not too likely. This person appeared in this world countless years ago. No one can live for so long," Ye Fan said.
Amitabha Buddha, like the other Great Emperors, had countless legends. It was said that he came from beyond the heavens and crossed the star domain to arrive here. He passed down his teachings and left behind an unparalleled reputation.
"I always felt that the Western Desert is very mysterious. There are strands of Buddha nature fluctuating in the entire world. Apart from Amitabha Buddha, who else could cause such abnormalities?" The monkey muttered mysteriously.
"Don't tell me that you want to say that the Great Emperor of Buddhism is still alive on Mount Meru?" Ye Fan said.
Suddenly, the monkey was shocked and said, "This is only the place where Amitabha Buddha preaches the Dao and imparts the Dao, yet it is already so strange. It makes me so close to Buddha that I even felt a moment of absent-mindedness and wanted to convert. What do you think will happen if one lives in the Great Thunderclap Monastery all year round?"
He suddenly thought of his uncle who cultivated on Mount Meru all year round. Was he borrowing the Buddhist Sect's techniques to break through or was he mysteriously enlightened? He quivered and shivered.
"It can't be. The Victorious Fighting Buddha Technique transcends nature. Who can enlighten him? Now that he has entered the Pure Land of Bliss, he should be the one enlightening others, "Ye Fan said with a smile.
The monkey said, "I'm still a little worried. I went to see him in the past but I didn't succeed. I felt an incomparable dignity and holiness lingering around Mount Meru. At that time, I felt complicated and didn't think too much about it. Now that I think about it, that Buddha nature is many times stronger than the Alan Ancient Temple."
"Now, even the Evil Subduing Pestle of Buddhism is under his control. You're thinking too much," Ye Fan said.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much," the monkey said to himself.
Before long, they entered the depths of the Western Desert and saw an ancient city. It was enormous and majestic, and their special embryonic bones immediately sensed it. They calmed their hearts and observed, and were immediately shaken.
Strands after strand of Buddha nature rose up and flew in all directions. When they gathered together, it could be said that the radiance was boundless. Others couldn't see it, but Ye Fan and the monkey could clearly sense it.
This was a boundless light that seemed to connect the heavens and the earth. A rain of light gathered, covering tens of thousands of meters. There was an immortal aura, and it was extremely holy and pure. This was a strange power unique to the Western Desert.
"Right, I understand now. It's a bit similar to the aura of the Great Sage summoned by the evil ghost. This is pure faith power!" Ye Fan said.
This place was a famous Buddhist city in the Western Desert, enough to rank in the top twenty. Many Buddhists gathered here, and the population was countless. The power gathered here was naturally world-shaking.
From the perspective of others, they wouldn't be able to sense anything. There was no boundless Buddha light at all. However, Ye Fan and the monkey could see that they were both stunned.
"Now I believe that the power of the Western Desert doesn't originate from one person, but from the pure Will power of millions and millions of living beings!" The monkey sighed, seemingly relieved.
However, Ye Fan's hair stood on end. "Do you remember that the ancient Great Emperors all had techniques to extend their bodies and make them immortal? The Will power of all living beings in the Western Desert has been like this since ancient times. They're all chanting the name of one person. How terrifying do you think he is?!"
The monkey's golden fur stood on end, and the worry in his heart that had just disappeared increased by countless times. He looked in the direction of Mount Meru and gasped.
"You're saying that from ancient times until now, with so much Will power flowing through the body of one person, Amitabha the Great is still alive?!"
