Heavenly Court.
Hu Le sensed the change in Indra's incarnation and couldn't help but clap his hands in praise, "What a stroke of luck!"
His previous act of creating the Indra incarnation was merely an attempt to interfere in the affairs of the Asura race and the demonic path.
It was just a useless piece of chess.
But what he never expected was that this seemingly insignificant piece he had set aside would have such a fortunate turn of events...
...
Mount Sumeru.
Indra gathered merit and good fortune, which transformed into a relic, and auspicious light enveloped the entire sacred mountain.
Some of the more prominent disciples in Mount Sumeru left their caves and flew towards the summit of Mount Sumeru.
From afar, they saw a large Buddha seated on a lotus throne, with the relics on its head shining brightly into the heavens.
Beside the Buddha sat two venerable monks.
One was the Guide, who was sitting on a twelve-petaled golden lotus, with a relic appearing on his head. The auspicious light he emitted shone brightly, mirroring the auspicious light on the Buddha's head, reflecting the past and the future.
Between the two, the Daoist Zhunti sat under a Bodhi tree, surrounded by auspicious light that merged with the auspicious light of the other two.
Above that auspicious light stood a Dharma body with eighteen arms and twenty-four heads, holding various Dharma implements that rose and fell under the wash of the auspicious light.
The three sat in a row, their auspicious lights forming a continuous expanse that stretched through the past, present, and future.
In the past, there were only two Venerable Ones on Mount Sumeru.
The Guide Daoist represents the past of the Western lineage, the Zhunti Daoist represents the present, while the future is a blank.
Now, Indra has been invited to join Mount Sumeru, immediately filling the future vacancy.
From then on, the Western lineage encompassed the past, present, and future, spanning all time and space, and its great rise gradually took shape.
When the disciples arrived, they all looked at Indra, who was sitting there, with surprised and uncertain eyes.
Indra had already gathered his fortune and merit into himself, and then proclaimed to Mount Sumeru and the entire primordial world: "I am Amitabha Buddha, and I will establish the boundless Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss to save all sentient beings."
Those who recite my name will enjoy endless blessings, be free from misfortune, never regress, and be unaffected by karmic consequences…
"Those who enter my Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss will forever enjoy purity and joy, be free from the suffering of the seven emotions and six desires, and never fall into the cycle of reincarnation..."
Indra's voice resounded throughout heaven and earth, and countless Western Buddhist disciples and even hundreds of millions of believers bowed and prostrated themselves toward the location of Amitabha Buddha, praising Amitabha Buddha and repeatedly saying that his compassion was boundless...
"Now that you have obtained the true Dharma and made boundless vows, you shall henceforth be my brother..."
Fearing that some disciples might disagree, the Guide immediately established Amitabha Buddha's status and position within the Western lineage.
"That's how it should be!"
The Taoist Zhunti sat under the Bodhi tree, clapping his hands and laughing.
"Greetings, fellow Daoists."
Amitabha Buddha clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to the two people.
"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities."
The two men also bowed to Hu Le.
The three had different manners, but each had their own way of doing things...
"I am about to create the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, but I am afraid I am not strong enough. I would like to ask you two fellow Daoists to lend me a hand," Amitabha Buddha said as he rose.
The guide nodded slightly and stood up as well.
Zhunti Daoist laughed and said, "This is only natural, there is no need for you to ask me."
The creation of the Pure Land is to gather the merit and fortune of the West to suppress the destiny of the Mount Sumeru lineage. As beneficiaries, how could the two of them refuse to help?
The three flew side by side towards the sky above Mount Sumeru, arriving in the heavens. They found a place of emptiness and stopped there.
This void is vast and boundless, incredibly deep, and stretches as far as the eye can see...
"Let's do it right here."
Amitabha Buddha said calmly, and both Jieyin and Zhunti nodded without objection.
Amitabha Buddha raised his hand and pointed, a point of golden light falling into that void.
Boom!
The golden light suddenly exploded, transforming into a divine thunderbolt that split the heavens and the earth, instantly turning the entire void into a boiling chaos. The entire heavens trembled, almost turning into mush.
The Daoist Zhunti raised the Seven Treasures Tree, which swept down a cluster of seven-colored rays of light, which fell into the chaos.
Rumble!
Like a spark falling into boiling hot oil, the chaos suddenly exploded, evolving into black and white vortices of varying sizes.
Some of these vortexes are the size of a palm, while others are as large as the sun, moon, and stars. They all resemble the Tai Chi symbol, constantly colliding and devouring each other...
The three of them created the world and evolved into a paradise, causing the entire Nine Heavens to tremble.
Hu Le, who was cultivating in the Jade Pool, couldn't help but frown, stopped his cultivation, and called the Red Jade Boy to his side.
"Greetings, sir."
The red jade boy bowed and greeted the children.
Hu Le raised his hand and pointed, and the Chaos Bell, wrapped in a ball of five-colored light, flew from the back hall and landed in the hands of the Red Jade Boy.
"Take this treasure and quickly hang it on the South Heavenly Gate," Hu Le instructed.
"Here you are."
The Jade Boy, carrying the Chaos Bell, walked out of the palace and called upon the Green-Clad Boy to ride on auspicious clouds towards the Heavenly Palace.
As the two drew closer to the South Heavenly Gate, the frequency of the tremors throughout the Heavenly Palace increased, with the palaces swaying back and forth as if they were about to collapse at any moment.
Seeing this, the two boys quickened their pace and arrived at the South Heavenly Gate in the blink of an eye.
At the edge of their vision, a void had already turned black and white, with large and small vortexes colliding constantly, and various destructive aftershocks continuously crashing towards the Heavenly Court.
The heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the gate were all trembling with fear.
The old demon that was being suppressed not far away also seemed to sense the impending doom, shrinking back at the foot of the mountain, too afraid to move...
When the two boys arrived, they also saw the strange phenomenon on the horizon.
The boy in green dared not delay, and hurriedly took the Chaos Bell and flew up to the top of the South Heavenly Gate, where he hung the Chaos Bell on the protruding eaves.
"Clang clang clang!"
The Chaos Bell suddenly began to shake, and its sound resounded throughout the entire heavens.
The Heavenly Court, which had been trembling violently, suddenly fell silent, and there was no more shaking.
After the Chaos Bell stabilized the Heavenly Court, it emitted a dazzling light that illuminated the entire Heavenly Court.
Before the aftershocks of the creation of heaven and earth could even approach the South Heavenly Gate, they were instantly annihilated by the five-colored light emitted by the Chaos Bell.
Heaven has regained its peace and tranquility.
The two boys did not return to report, but instead stood with a group of heavenly soldiers and generals under the Chaos Bell, straining their eyes to look at the creation of the world in the distance.
...
Seeing the black and white vortex formed by the yin and yang energies devouring each other and boiling endlessly, Amitabha Buddha immediately raised his hand and pointed, sending out a divine thunderbolt that suddenly exploded in the black and white vortex.
The black and white vortex formed by Yin and Yang energies immediately lost its balance. Under the influence of lightning, it evolved the wonders of the Four Symbols, separating a land of earth, fire, water, and wind that raged outwards.
The water and fire clashed, the wind howled, and the yellow clouds formed from the earth's energy swirled and turned, creating a chaotic scene.
As the earth's fire and water clashed and boiled, a lung-like alveolus, as large as the sun, moon, and stars, vaguely bulged at the center...
