After Fuxi and his group left, no one else came to visit Fulitian. Hu Le was finally able to have some peace and quiet and could focus on comprehending the method of transforming all things.
Time flies, years pass by, and another century has gone by in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the Red Jade Boy suddenly came in to report that the Sage Zhunti had sent a disciple to pay his respects.
Upon hearing this, Hu Le temporarily stopped his cultivation and silently calculated in his mind before realizing why Daoist Zhunti had sent a disciple over.
It turns out it was about the eastward transmission of Buddhism.
He ordered the boy to bring the person into the hall. Looking up, he saw that the person was the attendant boy of the Daoist Zhunti.
"This junior greets the Master!"
After the attendant boy entered the hall, he hurriedly performed a grand salute and then explained his purpose.
It turned out that two Western saints invited him to come over for a visit a hundred years later.
"I understand what Fellow Daoist Zhunti means. Go back and tell your sect leader that I will definitely keep the appointment a hundred years from now," Hu Le said calmly.
"I understand. I will certainly convey the Master's words."
The attendant boy then took his leave without further ado...
...
Over the years, although Buddhism has been dominant in the West, it has been unable to spread widely in the East due to the obstruction and targeting of the other three religions.
The two religious leaders and saints needed to make Buddhism flourish in order to repay the merits they owed to Heaven in the past.
Otherwise, even if they succeed in achieving enlightenment in the future, it will be extremely difficult for them to transcend worldly limitations.
If one does not repay the great vows and merits owed, it will not be so easy to succeed in reducing emptiness in the future.
Moreover, the two leaders believed that Buddhism's strength was now unparalleled among all religions, enough to support them in seizing more fortune in the prehistoric world.
If Buddhism wants to flourish, the eastward transmission of Buddhist teachings is already an urgent matter.
Otherwise, merely staying in the West to spread Buddhism is hardly a great achievement.
Originally, when the West wanted to spread its teachings eastward, Taoism, the Xuanmen School, and the other two schools of Taoism were all obstacles in their way.
In particular, the Chan Sect, after its great victory in the Investiture of the Gods, has almost become the largest sect in the East.
With the Chan sect blocking its way, it was simply impossible for Buddhism to flourish in the East.
Fortunately, in order to break the Zhuxian Sword Formation and completely destroy the Jie Sect, the two leaders of the Western Sect had to be brought down.
Unwittingly, they incurred a tremendous karmic debt to the two religious leaders.
But how easy is it for a sage to repay the debts of karma?
Now, the two leaders are probably preparing to demand repayment of this karmic debt from Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun.
As for why Hu Le was invited over.
Hehe... The eastward transmission of Buddhism cannot be accomplished by merely appeasing Yuanshi Tianzun and Taishang Laojun. After all, Taoism is also a force that cannot be ignored in the East.
If they don't persuade Hu Le as well, and Taoism gets involved and causes trouble, the eastward transmission of Buddhism might not be possible...
A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. Hu Le got up and went outside the palace, ordering a boy to bring his mount.
When the boy brought the white ox over, Hu Le glanced at it and realized that the ox had become much fatter over the years.
This suggests that it has probably been living a very carefree life since Hu Le left...
Hu Le hung the Hongmeng Bell on the ox's horns, got up and sat on the ox's back. With a gentle pull of the reins, the white ox's four hooves created clouds, carrying him slowly upwards, leaving Fuli Heaven and arriving in Chaos.
Faced with the surging chaotic airflow, the Hongmeng Bell suspended on the bull's horn suddenly lit up with a burst of light.
Illuminated by the radiant light, the chaotic air currents within a radius of ten thousand miles instantly calmed down.
After traveling for a short while, Hu Le finally arrived at the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
This realm is the foundation of Buddhism, shrouded in auspicious clouds, bathed in rosy light, with auspicious energy flowing through it, and primordial divine light spreading to every corner of the world.
Those who enter this realm can enjoy boundless bliss and will no longer be troubled by poverty, illness, death, reincarnation, or misfortune, and will be far removed from all karmic calamities.
All causes and effects were blocked from the bliss by the twelve-petaled golden lotus.
However, this paradise also has its limits. Once it bears too much karma and calamities and reaches a limit, this paradise will inevitably be unable to withstand it.
Even with the sage-like leader, the Guide, presiding over it, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss will inevitably fall from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens to the deepest depths of the Netherworld, and the beings within will never be able to escape its clutches...
Hu Le stood outside the Blissful World, looking at the peaceful and serene world. A trace of pity flashed in his empty eyes, as if in that instant he had already seen that the future of all living beings in this world was probably not good.
But who can be blamed for this? It's because the Grand Master of Guidance made such a grand and weighty vow back then.
Even a saint or leader could not uphold this world until eternity.
The Guide Daoist may not have been unaware of this, but he had no choice but to do so in order to achieve the Primordial Chaos.
This is also why the two religious leaders were so determined to promote Western Buddhism and greedily seize the primordial merit and destiny.
Only by continuously accumulating enough merit and good fortune can they fulfill their grand vows, sever the karmic ties and tribulations surrounding the Pure Land, and lead all beings in the Pure Land to the other shore, until eternity, completely escaping the sea of suffering...
Standing outside the heavens and earth, Hu Le watched as the Guide Daoist and the Zhunti Daoist came out to greet him. The pity and compassion in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by an eternal, deep emptiness.
"Brother Dao has come from afar, and we two have not been able to greet you properly. Please forgive us."
From afar, Daoist Zhunti bowed first.
Although the guide did not speak, he also bowed.
Hu Le returned the greeting and said with a smile, "You two are too kind."
The three exchanged pleasantries in the heavens for a while before the two leaders led Hu Le into the Pure Land of Bliss.
"I've heard that you've traveled to the depths of chaos in recent years to seek the primordial creation, but I wonder what you've gained?"
On the way, Master Zhunti suddenly asked with a smile.
Clearly, he was very curious about Hu Le's experiences in the Chaos over the years.
"Hehe... Over the years, I have seen quite a few sights and sights from beyond the universe..."
Hu Le smiled and told the two of them what he could say.
Zhunti Daoist listened for a while, and after Hu Le finished speaking, the three of them had arrived at the Daoist Jieyin's temple and then entered the main hall.
The hall is spacious yet very simple and unadorned, with no other decorations except for a golden lotus pond in the center.
The three walked to the lotus pond, each pointing to the ground beneath their feet, and a thousand-petaled lotus throne rose up for them to sit on.
They chatted for a few more minutes, then the two religious leaders exchanged a glance, and it was Zhunti Daoist who took the lead in getting down to business.
"Brother Dao, you should know that my brother and I once made a great vow to save all living beings and share in ultimate bliss."
Hu Le nodded slightly and said with a smile, "You two fellow Daoists have made a great vow, and that's why you have been recognized by the Heavenly Dao and have attained the Primordial Chaos."
This matter is known throughout the entire primordial world; how could I be an exception?
