Chapter 399 Young Old Friends
There are many forces in the world of Jiuzhou, including the righteous represented by Yuan Shang, the evil represented by Li Wu, and the neutral forces represented by Jin Daoren. It can be said that there are good and bad people mixed together.
Jiang Li could clearly feel that in Jiuzhou of this era, the lives of cultivators and mortals were very cheap. The righteous were willing to uphold justice, but the power of the evil was too great, and there were also peacemakers at work.
It was obvious what Jin Daoren meant that if people died, they died, and there was no need to get angry over millions of lives.
Jiang Li also used his spiritual sense to see that the two sects were fighting for the spirit stone mine, and the blood dyed the spirit stone mine red.
There were constant incidents of bullying the weak and taking advantage of opportunities to rob. Dozens of robberies occurred at the same time, most of which took place on official roads.
In this era, the escort agency is not only a money-making industry, but also an industry that requires one's life to be put on the line, with a terribly high casualty rate.
There are also sects that believe in immortals from the fairy world. Because of differences in ideology, they fight with another sect. Neither side can tolerate the other, and both sides are determined to fight to the death.
"It is just as Immortal Changcun said. In the past, Kyushu was in constant strife, which is very different from the Kyushu now."
The only thing that made Jiang Li feel at ease was the Great Zhou. Although it was not as fair as Ji Zhi's rule, compared with other dynasties, countries, and sects, the Great Zhou was a standout.
…
Yuan Shang returned to Xuantian Sect dejectedly, feeling depressed. The battle between good and evil took a lot of effort for him, as the evil always found ways that the good had neglected.
"If I can calm down and become an immortal, then I will have the right to speak."
"No, even just becoming a terrestrial immortal won't do." Yuan Shang was distressed. There were similar disputes in the immortal world. The disputes between good and evil had a long history, and no one could do anything to anyone.
"Are you Yuan Shang?" A figure bowed to Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shang's heart trembled. This person appeared silently.
All the Yuan Shangs in the Tribulation Crossing period know each other, but none of them can match this person. Who is this person?
Yuan Shang couldn't tell the depth of the cultivator's cultivation.
Immortals from the fairyland? Jiuzhou has a lot of exchanges with the fairyland, and there are often immortals who come down to the earth to travel.
"Who are you?" Yuan Shang was alert. He had just fought with Li Wu. He suspected that this figure was Li Wu calling for help from the immortal world to teach him a lesson.
Jiang Li smiled: "I can't reveal my name and identity. I came here just to say hello to you, senior."
Jiang Li’s words made Yuan Shang more alert, but Jiang Li didn’t care. He hid his figure and headed for Mount Xumi.
Yuan Shang was confused by Jiang Li. He felt that Jiang Li had no ill intentions, so he did not take him seriously and returned to Xuantian Sect.
Many cultivators also had sad faces and asked Xuantian Sect to seek justice.
…
Mount Sumeru is shrouded in clouds and mist. Even before you get close you can faintly hear the sound of Buddhist scriptures. The novice monks are devoted to chanting the Buddha's name and ignore external affairs.
"...It's interesting to say that the monks in Jiuzhou are divided into the righteous and evil paths. My Buddhist sect also has similar disputes."
The long-browed Buddha sat on the top of the mountain, squinting his eyes to watch the battle between the three Tribulation Crossing Stage people in the starry sky. He shook his head and chuckled helplessly.
The Long-browed Buddha is the lord of Mount Sumeru of this era.
"I'd like to hear more about it."
The Immortal Changcun was sitting opposite the Long-browed Buddha and was intrigued by this topic. Buddhists in the immortal world have always disliked talking and going out, so he rarely had the opportunity to learn about Buddhism.
The Immortal Changcun of this era has a handsome face and looks very young, probably in his twenties or thirties.
"There is a dispute between Hinayana Buddhism and Mahayana Buddhism in Buddhism. Hinayana Buddhism emphasizes saving oneself but not others, while Mahayana Buddhism emphasizes saving oneself and others."
"Buddhists have debated this issue for a long time. Most of them advocate Hinayana Buddhism. They believe that they have not yet liberated themselves, have not seen all the troubles in the world and the suffering of reincarnation. How can they save others if they have not even saved themselves?"
"A small number of Buddhas advocated Mahayana Buddhism, believing that one should not only save others but also save oneself. One should not only eliminate one's own troubles and karma and free oneself from the mundane world, but also do everything possible to help all sentient beings."
"I don't know anything more. Even the Buddha hasn't come to a conclusion on this. This involves a fundamental dispute in Buddhism. It shakes the foundation. It's not something I, who is in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, can get involved in."
"Tea, please."
The young monk at the side served tea and poured water, his movements smooth and natural like flowing water.
"Let me introduce you. This is my successor in the Peacock Nation. His common name is Qin Xi. He has inherited the position of Xumi Buddha and is more suitable to be the master of Mount Xumi than me. After I ascend to heaven, he will be the next master of Mount Xumi."
"Your practice is progressing well. Now you have reached the fusion stage." Immortal Changcun's attitude was as gentle as ever.
"I, I've heard of you, the immortal who has been active in Jiuzhou for the longest time." The young monk looked at the Immortal Changcun excitedly.
"After all, my talent is limited, and I can't achieve anything great in the fairy world. It's better for me to return to Jiuzhou and be free."

"That's not what I meant." The little monk blushed.
"Haha, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously." Immortal Changcun laughed heartily.
Jiang Li, who was observing secretly, was puzzled. The Immortal Changcun of this era looked younger and had a more cheerful personality.
"I see that your aura is perfect, and the Buddha's light is faintly visible. Are you about to become an immortal?"
"I can't compare to Taoist Jin. He should be the first to become an immortal. I will follow him."
The Long-browed Buddha looked at the Ladder to Immortality. The closer he got to becoming an immortal, the more he could feel the existence of the Ladder to Immortality and he understood how majestic the Ladder to Immortality was.
"The Immortal Ladder was refined by many immortals. It condenses a large amount of wisdom from the immortal world and contains many great principles, such as the principles of space, time, cause and effect, and yin and yang... Not to mention you, even I and even higher immortals are amazed by its magnificence and complexity. It is said that up to now, no immortal has been able to fully comprehend the contents of the Immortal Ladder."
The Buddha with long eyebrows asked, "There is a question I have wanted to ask for a long time. Why did the immortal world build the ladder to immortality? If it is to allow more people to become immortals, I have never seen many immortals go down to the mortal world to preach."
“Even if immortals come to Jiuzhou, they just play around, comprehend the world, and occasionally leave a legacy. This has a negligible impact on the Jiuzhou world as a whole. If Jiuzhou world is like this, then other worlds will not receive much help from the immortal world.”
Immortal Changcun lowered his voice and said, "I don't know much about this matter, but I heard from my master that the more worlds the immortal world rules, the stronger the immortal world will be."
Jiang Li looked at the young monk standing beside him, feeling mixed emotions. His expression changed many times, pain, hesitation, emotion... and finally it froze on a smile.
The little novice monk is the Sumeru Buddha from nine thousand years ago.
…
Jiang Li came to the Red Dust Pure Land again, bypassed the sect protection formation, bypassed the fairy peach tree, and came to the tomb where the Red Dust Fairy was buried.
The Red Dust Fairy was as beautiful as she would be nine thousand years later, with her eyes gently closed, as if she was just taking a nap and could wake up at any time.
At this time, the real Red Dust Fairy died, and her body had not yet developed any spiritual intelligence.
Jiang Li seemed to sense something, raised his head suddenly, and flew into the sky.
The big hand that cut off the ladder to immortality in the Wei Gu world stretched out to Jiuzhou. Jiang Li swore that this time he must see clearly who the owner of the big hand is.
