Only after unifying the world did I realize that immortals existed in this world.

On the western half of White Elephant Island, there is the Wuxiang Zen sect and the Compassionate Temple.

"Knock knock knock~"

As the ancient bells rang out, auspicious clouds and mist swirled, the golden temple relics shone brightly, and a white rainbow filled the sky.

The temple was solemn, with Zen Buddhas holding banners, canopies, and rare jewels and flowers, standing on both sides of the main hall, while no one sat on the lotus platform in the center.

Suddenly, the scent of sandalwood wafted on the breeze, accompanied by the sound of chanting.

"Amitabha!"

The old monk had already sat upright on the lotus platform, his compassionate, pupil-less eyes looking down upon the monks, his voice echoing.

"Zen Master..."

Upon seeing him appear, the monks all took refuge and bowed in worship.

Master Jue Min, the leader of the Wuxiang Zen sect, was a great enlightened being of profound wisdom, compassionate towards the world, and possessed unfathomable supernatural powers. He was an incarnation of the Buddha of the Western Paradise.

Jue Min lowered his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the monks. With a light touch of his fingertip, a flash of light appeared, and two precious pearls burst forth with countless rays of light, spiraling and returning to the twin pagodas of the main hall, shining brightly and radiating a gentle and warm Buddhist light.

"The blue sky has returned to its rightful place."

"Amitabha Buddha, how wonderful!"

Even the four people closest to Jue Min in the audience clasped their hands in respect and approached to ask, "Zen Master, where has the blue sky gone?"

The old monk smiled upon hearing this and said, "Taihua is trying to cross the abyss, but is surrounded by poisonous miasma and is helpless. He needs to borrow my Azure Sky Pearl to overcome this difficulty."

As soon as he finished speaking, the monks clapped their hands and laughed, "Excellent."

Taihua ranks one position higher than Wuxiang Chan Sect in the Immortal Alliance.

Taihua is the third, and Wuxiang is the fourth.

However, Taihua, which ranked high, was at a loss and sought help from the Wuxiang Zen sect, which undoubtedly pleased the Zen sect. The precious pearl had already been returned to its rightful place, and Taihua still owed the Zen sect a favor.

This is naturally a good thing.

Of the four people below the stage, one of them spoke up: "Zen Master, what lies beyond the abyss?"

Jue Min lowered his eyes and spoke calmly: "There is a great country called Great Xia, with hundreds of millions of people and a territory larger than White Elephant."

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent instantly.

The meditators, who were pursuing enlightenment, all looked shocked at this moment.

"The fifth continent?"

Immortals and demons have been fighting over these four continents for thousands of years, yet they have never heard of such a vast continent hidden beyond the poisonous miasma of the Abyss Sea.

Before the monks could ask any more questions, Jue Min said in a low voice, "Although this country has hundreds of millions of people and a vast territory, it is greedy, lustful, and gloating, with much killing and fighting. It is a sea of ​​evil and a battlefield of words... The king is foolish, and hundreds of millions of people are drowning in the sea of ​​suffering, unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation and unable to be reborn."

Upon hearing this, the monks sighed in sorrow, "Excellent, excellent..."

Jue Min continued, "Only our White Elephant Holy Continent, relying on the true teachings of the Buddha, is wise, compassionate, and free from strife and killing. There is no disaster or evil, and everyone seeks goodness and truth. It is the first place of enlightenment and wisdom in the world."

"The Buddha, in his compassion, wishes to transmit the Buddha's wisdom to the Great Xia, enabling them to transcend the sea of ​​suffering, take refuge in the sacred Zen, and together with my monks, cross the ocean of ultimate bliss."

He lowered his gaze to the monks below, his pupil-less eyes seeming to see through people's hearts: "This is an immense blessing and auspicious occasion. I wonder who is willing to go?"

After a moment, one of the four people below stepped forward, clasped his hands in prayer to Buddha, and said, "This humble disciple is willing to cross the ocean to save this evil country."

"good!"

Upon hearing this, Jue Min lowered his head and smiled faintly: "No one else can go; only the Venerable Cihui, with his great supernatural powers, can go."

Amitabha Buddha~

……

The sacred mountain possesses a spirit, drifting ethereally into the clouds.

Xingyue Lingshan, the land where cranes cry, is the home of the Taihua Immortal Sect. The cloud boat sails with the wind; the disciples who have traveled far have finally returned home.

"Squeak~"

A clever little boy pushed open the wooden door and said with a beaming smile to the people behind him, "Guests, you'll be staying here from now on!"

"If you have any instructions, you can simply send someone to tell me."

Liu Bingxuan and his wife stood side by side, their demeanor dignified. They did not show any disrespect to the other party because he appeared to be young; on the contrary, they bowed politely and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

The boy smiled and returned the greeting, saying, "You're a distinguished guest, you're too kind! You must be tired from your journey, please get some rest!"

After speaking, he gracefully departed.

Liu Bingxuan turned to look at the thirty attendants, who were subordinates assigned to him by Xie Cangrong, encompassing talents in guarding, reconnaissance, communications, and intelligence.

Even in such an unfamiliar environment, they remained calm, stood in their respective lines, and awaited orders.

"Gentlemen, we have the Great Xia behind us, so do not be afraid or nervous. When we are out in the world, we must also protect the reputation of the Great Xia."

"yes!"

"We're new here and have no mission yet, so let's settle in and rest first."

"yes!"

The crowd dispersed in an orderly fashion.

Liu Bingxuan walked out the door and quietly gazed at the layers of mountains, with idle clouds swirling around them. He clenched his fist and couldn't help but sigh.

His guess was correct; outside the sphere of influence of the Great Xia, his power was greatly diminished. However, he could still see the majestic aura of these mountains, and he could sense the terrifying power contained within them.

How can we weaken them?

It is unknown how long it will take for Great Xia to gain the power to conquer this place and turn it into Great Xia's territory, at which point its power will return.

"My lord... what if they heard our voices from thousands of miles away? Or did they use some secret method to spy on us?"

The lady leaned against him, her voice full of concern.

"I have no idea."

Liu Bingxuan shook his head, then looked at her and asked with a smile, "Are you scared?"

"A little!"

In a completely unfamiliar world, if one were to be careless and perish here, one's family thousands of miles away would not even know the news. It would be a lie to say that one is not afraid.

Liu Bingxuan patted her head: "Do you regret traveling with me?"

The woman, whose appearance was not particularly beautiful, gently shook her head, her eyes filled with determination: "I will resent you if you don't let me come along."

"Hehe~"

Liu Bingxuan smiled and looked at the distant mountains: "What do you think... they're doing right now?"

……

At the summit of Zhenghuan Peak, inside the Taihua Hall.

The star array shimmered with light, and Yun Shu, dressed in white, sat upright on the central star-eye platform, his eyes containing a vast array of stars as he looked down at the group of people below.

The star array was ablaze with stars, and on each star stood a person. They varied in height, age, and appearance, some with normal features and others with strange ones, but without exception, they all exuded a strong aura.

The peak masters of the thirty-six peaks of Taihua, the ten hall masters, and various elders... except for those who had important matters to attend to and were not in the sect, nearly a hundred other high-ranking figures gathered here.

The Supreme Elders and the Ancestors are in seclusion; these people can be said to be the most powerful force in the Taihua Sect on the surface.

An elder in white robes, his eyes blazing with fury, roared, "Sect Master! This is an utter disgrace! How could you allow Shi Yu and the others to be imprisoned in the Great Xia prison?! When has the Immortal Alliance ever set such a precedent?!"

Before the words were finished, a soft laugh came from the other side: "Heh~".

Xuan Gu crossed his arms, a disdainful look on his face: "What? Now you're getting anxious?"

"Xu Yue, didn't you try to stop me from finding Xiangyun back then?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Xu Yue's blood pressure soared, and he glared at him fiercely: "Can this be generalized?"
