"Master, where are you going?" He looked up at the approaching golden door with a solemn expression, "Don't tell me you're going to ascend to the sky?"
Chu Li nodded slowly, "Yes, my vow has been fulfilled, it's time to leave this world!"
"I haven't listened to your wonderful teachings, why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Zhao Yancheng said, "I can't bear to leave!"
Chu Li said, "Heaven and earth are impermanent, fate gathers and fates come and go. My fate with Your Majesty has not ended, Anfu will protect Your Majesty for me!"
As he spoke, he looked at Princess Anfu and sighed, "Your Majesty, please don't make things difficult for her."
"Master, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who disregards my family!" Zhao Yancheng said in a low voice.
Chu Li smiled and nodded, "Then I'll have to thank Your Majesty, Anfu!"
"Master!" Princess Anfu took a step forward, "Are you really leaving?"
Chu Li looked up at the golden door and said slowly, "I don't have much time left, I'll leave this Ruyi Temple to you."
As he spoke, his left index finger gently touched the center of her eyebrows.
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed from her eyebrows and soared into the sky, turning into a white rainbow that formed a circular arc and landed on the Ruyi Temple behind her.
The Ruyi Temple suddenly burst with splendor and golden light, forming a bowl-like golden cover that enveloped the Ruyi Temple.
The white rainbow that rushed out from her forehead and the golden light at first collided, but slowly, the golden light began to actively devour the white light.
The golden light spread along the white rainbow and finally reached her forehead. The golden light that enveloped the Ruyi Temple slowly dimmed and disappeared as if it had completely drilled into her forehead. However, as it disappeared, it suddenly shone so bright that everyone's eyes could not see anything.
"Amitabha!" Princess Anfu opened her eyes, golden light shot out from her eyes as if they were solid. She bowed with pressed palms and said solemnly, "Master, don't worry, I'll protect the Ruyi Temple."
Chu Li smiled, "If the Ruyi Temple is destroyed, the Ruyi Temple will no longer be passed down. This is the will of heaven, there's no need to go against it!"
"… Yes." Princess Anfu nodded slowly.
At this moment, everyone's eyes returned to normal. They discovered that Princess Anfu's temperament had changed greatly. The original lightness had turned into a heaviness, as if she had become one with Ruyi Temple. She was quiet and distant, heavy and peaceful.
The golden gate in the sky finally began to open, its golden light illuminating the entire capital.
Everyone in the capital couldn't help but raise their heads. Bathed in the golden light, their minds instantly calmed, and they inexplicably felt a sense of pity. The many worries of life seemed to vanish, leaving only peace and tranquility.
His mind suddenly detached itself from the mortal world and freed itself from worries.
Faint chanting poured out of the Gate of Heaven, and golden lotuses slowly drifted out. For a moment, the entire capital was occupied by the golden lotuses, and people couldn't help but stretch out their hands to catch them.
Unfortunately, when it came into contact with his palm, the Golden Lotus transformed into a streak of golden light and entered his palm before disappearing.
Everyone was greatly disappointed. They never expected that the golden lotus wouldn't last long and couldn't be caught. However, they soon discovered that the illness within their bodies had already disappeared. Their bodies were full of vitality, as if they had new bodies.
Those with strong bodies didn't feel much, as if they were refreshed after a good night's sleep. The feeling of weak bodies was more obvious, but those with illnesses felt more intense, as if they had been reborn.
The circular light behind Chu Li's head gradually expanded, from the size of his head to the size of his upper body, and then to the size of his entire body. His feet rose higher and higher off the ground, as if an invisible force was lifting him up.
"Amitabha!" Chu Li put his palms together and sat cross-legged in the void.
The Buddhist chant was like a morning bell, resounding in every corner of the capital, and reverberating in everyone's hearts.
The golden lotuses that filled the sky immediately rushed below him. In the golden light, all the golden lotuses condensed, forming a lotus throne. He sat on the lotus throne and slowly floated up into the sky.
The circular light behind him was like a bright moon hanging in the sky, reflecting his jade-like face and clear eyes.
Everyone in the capital raised their heads to look, and the bustling capital was as quiet as ever.
They could clearly see Chu Li's appearance, and they could even see every minute expression on his face. It was a strange feeling. He was clearly far away, but they could clearly see him, and they could never forget him.
Chu Li was lifted up by the golden lotuses until he arrived at the golden door.
The golden door slowly opened, and there was only a swaying golden light behind the door. Faint Sanskrit chanting could be heard, clear and distant.
Chu Li stopped in front of the golden door and turned his head to look back.
Everyone's eyes met his. Chu Li put his palms together again, and then floated into the golden door.
The golden door slowly closed, and slowly disappeared into the void.
After a long time, someone let out a long sigh, breaking the silence.
Everyone held their necks, which had unknowingly become unbearably sore.
"Is that Divine Monk Ding Ru?"
"Divine Monk Ding Ru, what a good one. What demonic monk? How can a demonic monk ascend? "
"To ascend straight to the shore and transcend the world. This is the true supreme technique. Compliance Temple is the true sacred land of Buddhism!"
"It's useless even if it's a sacred land of Buddhism. Divine Monk Ding Ru has already ascended. Even if he didn't ascend, he wouldn't take in disciples. He only took in Princess Anfu as a disciple, and I think there's also King Jing and Princess Consort. This is truly a supreme opportunity!"
"Sigh … We commoners don't have such an opportunity. It's better for us to live our lives honestly!"
"I heard that Divine Monk Ding Ru suppressed all the generals in the world and dared not declare war again. Now that the divine monk has ascended, will he …?"
"This is really hard to say!"
At this point, everyone began to worry.
It was better to be a dog in peace than a man in chaos. Even though they were far away from the border, if they really fought, the capital would also be affected.
Zhao Yancheng withdrew his gaze and glanced at the other three princes thoughtfully.
He suddenly became worried.
The three princes had just agreed, and Master Ding Ru ascended. Times had changed, and Master Ding Ru could kill them like slaughtering chickens. But now, Master Ding Ru would not appear again.
Everyone understood that Master Ding Ru had already ascended to the First Heaven and would never return. Throughout history, no one had been able to return after ascending, so Master Ding Ru was no longer a threat.
It was no different from moving a giant mountain. They must have heaved a sigh of relief and then become ecstatic. They felt that they could go back on their words and even wanted the three countries to join forces to destroy Yu the Great to vent their anger.
He saw that the three princes had already come back to their senses and were looking at each other with burning eyes and irrepressible excitement.
Zhao Yancheng's heart sank slightly. He knew that he was right. They would definitely go back on their words.
He shifted his gaze and looked at Ruyi Temple.
Under the moonlight, Ruyi Temple was like a giant sleeping beast, silent and motionless, blending into the night. It was hard to imagine what would happen to Ruyi Temple without Divine Monk Ding Ru. Even with Yu the Great's protection, it might not be able to withstand the attacks of Great Shuo, Great Kun, and Great Ning.
"Father," Princess Anfu said softly. "I can't return to the palace. From today onwards, I will live in Ruyi Temple."
"How can that be!" Chang Shuhua hurriedly said, "Anfu, you're the only one left in Ruyi Temple. How can we be at ease!"
Princess Anfu chuckled. Her clear eyes swept across everyone present, and she said with a smile, "From today onwards, I am the master of Ruyi Temple. Ruyi Temple is my residence, and Anfu Palace will occasionally return to stay there."
