Chapter 18: The Pure Land
"The beauty sleeps a lot. I brought her to the golden house for three years, and she has been sleeping for three years. She rarely wakes up during this period. Even if there is a lot of noise outside, she will not be woken up." Emperor Meng Jiang explained, otherwise the three of them would not dare to make such a big noise, as if they were going through a thunder tribulation.
"You are not allowed to look, the beauty is mine!" Emperor Meng Jiang was about to lose control again and was dragged out of the golden house by Jiang Li. Only then did Emperor Meng Jiang come to his senses.
Upon seeing this, Emperor Wei and Zhang Konghu also hurriedly left the golden house. They almost lost their composure like Emperor Meng Jiang just now.
"Where did you find this person?"
"When I was hunting in the west, I came to the depths of the jungle alone. I wanted to kill a black bear, but I didn't expect to find such a fairy-like beauty sleeping in an ancient tree. I felt that I was a mortal and unworthy of touching the beauty, so I used the power of the void to bring the beauty back to the palace and built a golden house to house the beauty. Emperor Jiang, you don't feel anything when you see the beauty?"
"Feeling? Beautiful."
"Gone?" asked Emperor Wei.
"The most beautiful woman I have ever seen."
"Gone?" Zhang Konghu asked.
“No more.”
"Don't you have the urge to own it and put it on display for your appreciation?"
"No."
"Brother Jiang (Jiang Renhuang) has a character that is beyond ordinary people." What else could the three of them say? That was all they could say.
"This woman is very important. I am going to the Pure Land to confirm some things. I hope the two kings will keep their original intentions and not be blinded by her beauty. And Kong Hu, please keep an eye on the door of the Golden House for me. Don't let anyone in before I come back."
Jiang Li gave some instructions but was still worried, so he crushed the jade pieces and set up a large formation.
Maybe it was because he put all his talents in combat and cultivation, Jiang Li knew nothing about battle formations, alchemy, and weapon refining. Now he relied on the jade piece given to him by the Taoist Sect Master to set up battle formations.
It's not like he hadn't tried to learn these things on his own, but after many attempts, he completely gave up hope on cultivating the Hundred Arts of Immortals.
Jiang Li is now looking forward to ascending to the fairyland. He heard that after becoming a free and easy celestial being, one can master all the skills. By then, he will probably be able to learn one or two of the hundred arts of cultivating immortals.
I hope the system can really let me ascend.
…
There are two major sects in the western region of Kyushu that attract the most attention. One is the compassionate Buddhist sect, and the other is a pure land in the mortal world that only has women.
Buddhism is best known for doing good deeds throughout the world and cultivating blessings for the next life. The Pure Land in the Red Dust is almost hidden from the world and few people go out. People have only heard of it but have never seen it. Therefore, there are many legends about the Pure Land in the Red Dust, but their authenticity is extremely low.
Legend has it that women in the Pure Land of the Red Dust think that clothes are dirty, so they do not cover their bodies with clothes. Jiang Li knew this was false.
Legend has it that disciples of the Red Dust Pure Land cannot be touched by men, otherwise they must marry him. Jiang Li knows this is false.
Legend has it that the Pure Land in the mortal world is peaceful and tranquil and never gets angry, but Jiang Li knows this is false.
Legend has it that the founder of the Pure Land in the Red Dust was so beautiful that she even shook the Buddha. Jiang Li knew this was true.
Jiang Li stood outside the sect protection formation and said loudly: "Jiang Li, I am presumptuous to visit the Red Dust Pure Land, I hope you can forgive me!"
"Since you are coming here presumptuously, I will not receive you."
A voice that Jiang Li was familiar with came from the formation, and the disgust in it was not concealed at all. It was the headmaster of the Red Dust Pure Land, Nun Qingyu.
Jiang Li knew the reason. Nun Qingyu fell in love with a Buddhist disciple from Mount Xumi, but that Buddhist disciple had evil intentions and was killed by him. Although Nun Qingyu later fell in love with another Buddhist disciple, she still did not forget the revenge of her former lover.
Afterwards, there was a fairy tree on the verge of death in the Red Dust Pure Land, so a reward was offered to the world, saying that whoever could save the fairy tree could choose any treasure in the treasury.
After Jiang Li saved the immortal tree, he came to ask for the treasures. Nun Qingyu kept her promise and let Jiang Li go into the warehouse to choose, but there was a lot of sarcasm in her words. Jiang Li wanted to take the key to the treasure house in anger, which forced the disciples of Hongchen Pure Land to go down the mountain and find ways to make money, creating many touching love stories.
Jiang Li returned the key ten years later.
"Master, Jiang Li... Emperor Jiang is here to visit us, how can we be rude?"
Another voice that Jiang Li was familiar with came from the formation, the voice was clear and pleasant to the ears.
The sect protection formation was activated, and Jiang Li saw two Taoist nuns in white robes standing at the foot of the mountain gate. Although both of them had outstanding looks, one had a face full of disgust, while the other had a smiling face.
The latter is the saint of the pure land of mortal world, the Saint of Pure Heart, whose cultivation and prestige in the sect have surpassed her master, the Taoist nun Qingyu.
She once secretly told Jiang Li that there was only one reason why she didn't want to be the headmaster.
The title of Nun Jingxin doesn't sound nice.
"Emperor Jiang is still as elegant and graceful as ever, free and easy, and pure-hearted." The Pure-hearted Saint greeted Jiang Li with a smile, which was very different from her usual smile that kept people at a distance.

Taoist nun Qingyu thought to herself, where is your brain? You have never seen Jiang Li come to see you when he had nothing to do, and he was so free and easy. This time, there must be something wrong.
"After not seeing you for so many years, the Holy Maiden of Pure Heart is still so gentle. She is much better than that unreasonable Taoist nun."
The Saint of Pure Heart covered her mouth and chuckled, while the Taoist Nun of Clear Desire's veins were throbbing, and she hurriedly comforted herself, "You can't beat him, you can't beat him..."
"I came here this time to ask you something." Jiang Li stopped joking and spoke seriously.
"Emperor Jiang, please come up the mountain to talk." The Holy Maiden Jingxin invited Jiang Li into the pure land of the mortal world.
After going up the mountain, Jiang Li told them about the discovery of the beauty in the Mengjiang Dynasty. Saint Jingxin and Taoist Nun Qingyu also realized the seriousness of the matter.
"I suspect that it was the founder of your sect. She has been resurrected!" Jiang Li finally expressed his guess.
Jiang Li had never seen the founder of the Pure Land of the Red Dust, but he had seen her portrait in the treasure house. He was shocked by her beauty at the time and it left a deep impression on him.
In Jiuzhou, there is only the theory of reincarnation, but no one has ever heard of the resurrection of the dead. Jiang Li's words are really against common sense, but Saint Jingxin and Taoist Nun Qingyu did not refute it immediately.
He actually agreed with some of Jiang Li's words!
The truth is that their ancestors could not view it with common sense.
Back in the old days, when the ladder to becoming an immortal was still connected, there was an immortal who came down to earth and stayed in Jiuzhou, never to return to the immortal world.
The fairy was as beautiful as a saint, and her every frown and smile had a unique charm. Not to mention men, even a woman in the tribulation period could not resist the charm of this fairy.
According to the fairy, her beauty attracted many giants in the fairy world, who wanted to make her their concubine and were willing to fight with her. The fairy had no choice but to flee to Kyushu.
The situation in Jiuzhou is not much better than that in the fairyland. Wherever this fairy goes, disputes will arise there. However, unlike in the fairyland, the fairy is still an immortal after all, and is invincible in Jiuzhou. Even if there are disputes caused by her, they can be quickly suppressed.
When the living fossil of Daoist Sect heard about the existence of such a woman, he went to see her in person. After seeing her, he exclaimed that this woman was the embodiment of the "beauty" of Heaven. Immortals and mortals were all straw dogs in front of Heaven. Who could resist the charm of Heaven?
At first, people thought that Dao Zong living fossil was describing the beauty of fairies, but after seeing the charm of fairies regardless of age, gender, or species, they realized that Dao Zong living fossil actually meant it literally.
This woman is the embodiment of the "beauty" of heaven.
The fairy opened up a pure land in the west and called herself the Fairy of Red Dust.
