It turns out, they were the main characters.

At that instant, the barefoot, snow-white female bodhisattva clasped her hands together, and a golden Buddhist light descended from mid-air, enveloping Mu Zhi'an.

The pale golden light of the Buddha was as scorching as the sun. When it enveloped him, Mu Zhian felt for a moment that he had no desires and wished he could just become a monk and take refuge in Buddhism.

Those originally bright black eyes seemed to have become incredibly clear.

I had heard in the past that Buddhist teachings could influence a person, making them lay down their weapons and become a Buddha on the spot... but I never imagined that they could directly eliminate a person's desires.

Mu Zhian was secretly surprised. Nowadays, charm spells were almost ineffective against him, but this Buddhist spell that directly erased other people's desires had the exact opposite effect of charm spells.

The former puts you into a state of enlightenment, while the latter turns you into someone who only seeks pleasure.

Upon seeing this, Xueyi's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she glanced subtly at the stunningly beautiful woman, the Bodhisattva.

This wasn't part of the original plan...

At first, Xueyi's plan was simply to hand over Mu Zhian to the Western Regions.

However, now that Mu Zhian has been purified by the Buddha's light, what if he develops the idea that "women will only hinder my cultivation speed"?

However, just as Xueyi was looking at Mu Zhian, secretly wondering whether she should make a move, she noticed that the boy's gaze was sweeping over her and the female bodhisattva beside her.

The boy, who had gradually become devoid of desire under the Buddha's light, suddenly felt a renewed desire in his eyes... and that desire was even stronger than before!

The female bodhisattva was also taken aback, and following Mu Zhian's gaze, it fell on her fair and white feet.

Her expression remained unchanged as she looked at him without any emotion: "Benefactor Mu, your desires are too strong. If you enter the Buddhist order after this, I will personally remove all your distracting thoughts."

Mu Zhian smiled slightly: "Everyone has desires. Even you are acting because of desires right now, aren't you?"

"I have never acted for my own selfish desires."

Mu Zhian countered, "To cooperate with people from forbidden lands for the sake of national destiny, isn't that also a form of desire?"

The female bodhisattva clasped her hands together, her tone icy: "Everything is for the Western Regions, and also for the salvation of all living beings in this world."

Mu Zhian chuckled lightly: "In the end, isn't the purpose of saving living beings to enable you to ascend to immortality by leveraging the power of the wishes of all beings?"

The female bodhisattva ignored Mu Zhi'an and said to Xue Yi, "Leave him to me now."

Xueyi glanced at her and smiled, "Don't forget what we agreed on at the beginning."

"After that, the forbidden lands and the Western Regions will offer up a portion of the nation's destiny."

The woman's melodious voice, like the silver bells of a bodhisattva, rang out. After watching Xue Yi turn and gracefully walk away, she turned her gaze to Mu Zhian.

For some reason, she always felt a strange feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

But I can't quite put my finger on it right now.

If Mu Zhian could be caught so easily, why did the Forbidden Land go to great lengths to find an opportunity back then?

Perhaps it was because the God of Space was too powerful, and Mu Zhian was unprepared this time?

The bodhisattva-like eyes stared at the boy's naturally alluring and handsome face. Her pupils seemed to bloom with mandalas, as if she could see through Mu Zhi'an's body the two innate furnaces within him.

The former is merely an ordinary furnace for the Enlightenment Realm, while the latter...

The boundless celestial spiritual energy seemed to be mixed with an extremely alluring aura, like a bewitching nine-tailed fox, seducing all the opposite sex who approached it.

After a brief moment of gazing, the female bodhisattva silently withdrew her gaze, clasped her hands together, and silently recited the Heart Sutra.

Even she had to admit it.

A natural furnace... indeed a dangerous thing.

……

Since birth, Mu Zhian had never been to the Western Regions. Back in Tianxuan City, he had heard that the cultivation methods in the Western Regions were somewhat dangerous, as the people there all believed in Buddha and their cultivation methods were also related to Buddha.

For this reason, he had always been somewhat wary of the Western Regions and had never approached them.

"Compared to the Eastern Continent and the Demon Realm, the Western Regions seem much more desolate."

At this moment, Mu Zhian's wrists were bound by a golden hoop, and he was riding on the lotus flower beneath the feet of the female bodhisattva, flying over the Western Regions.

The female bodhisattva spoke calmly: "Forty percent of the Western Regions are deserts, where no plants can grow. What you see is one of the deserts of the Western Regions."

“You are much calmer than I expected,” she said again.

“The Tao emphasizes following the natural order,” Mu Zhian said, his gaze wandering across the endless desert before glancing casually at the female bodhisattva before him.

The desert wind whipped her white robes behind her, her long hair cascading down her back, her bare feet resting on lotus blossoms, and a faint golden light seemed to emanate from her body, instantly inspiring an urge to kneel before her.

"Is this the power of the aspirations of all beings in the Western Regions?" Mu Zhian murmured to himself.

"Have you already made plans to escape the forbidden zone of reincarnation?" the female bodhisattva suddenly asked.

Mu Zhian's expression did not change. He opened his mouth, about to speak.

However, at this moment, the female bodhisattva said in a calm tone, "You are in the Western Regions, and according to Buddhist precepts, you must not speak falsely."

dong dong!

For a moment, Mu Zhian's heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed back the words he was going to say, "I don't know." Then he nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I was indeed prepared to escape the forbidden area of ​​reincarnation, which is why I deliberately let you catch me."

What happened...? I actually blurted out the truth without even realizing it?

No... Is it because the words spoken by Bodhisattva Miaoyi are affecting my resolve on the path?

Mu Zhian quickly realized what was happening, subconsciously looking up at the woman's back, and then, he quickly understood:

"No wonder the Western Regions are so afraid of the Spirit Dragon's words. In a sense, the Buddhist teachings you practice are somewhat similar to the Spirit Dragon's."

The Buddha in the Western Regions could make his enemies lose their will to fight the moment he opened his mouth, and like now, he could prevent his enemies from uttering a single lie.

This is because of the blessing of the wishes of all beings in the Western Regions. The two Bodhisattvas in the Western Regions today can disregard the rules of heaven and earth for a short period of time by relying on the wishes of all beings.

However, the spirit dragon's words of power would conflict with this kind of magic and interfere with the opponent.

Therefore, in the past, the Western Regions feared not Consort Shang Yan the most, but the Spirit Dragon.

Seeing that Bodhisattva Miaoyi did not answer, Mu Zhian continued, "You cooperated with the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation in order to obtain the national fortune of the human dynasties in the Eastern Continent when they were destroyed, right? If I'm not mistaken, there should be quite a few dynasties in the Western Regions whose national fortunes have come to an end, right?"

"The fall of a dynasty can affect the fortune of a state, but it is even more fatal to the Western Regions. This is because the monks in the Western Regions need not spiritual energy for their cultivation, but the power of the will of all living beings."

"Ultimately, the Western Regions' ultimate goal is not for the fate of the nation, but for the wishes of all living beings... or rather, for the ability to ascend to immortality."

Mu Zhian revealed a faint smile: "However, are you really confident that you can ascend to immortality by relying on the wishes of all living beings?"

"Whether or not one can ascend to immortality is not important. Benefactor Mu takes these worldly matters too seriously."

Bodhisattva Miaoyi answered calmly. When Mu Zhian came to his senses, he found that what came into view was no longer the desert he had just seen, but a temple on a high mountain.

The ground was lush and green. The female bodhisattva gently raised her hand and placed Mu Zhi under a large, verdant tree.

Then he closed his eyes slightly, silently recited the Heart Sutra, and stopped looking at Mu Zhi'an, instead quietly waiting for the people from the forbidden area of ​​reincarnation to arrive.

Mu Zhian looked up at the azure sky, then glanced at the golden hoop in his hand: "Why don't you help me untie this thing first? I can't escape once we get to the Western Regions anyway."

"I hope that you will not have any more bad intentions."

She opened her calm eyes, raised her hand and waved it, and the golden band that had been binding Mu Zhian's wrists was wiped away, and the Buddhist light within him also quietly faded away.

"I have never had any bad intentions."

Mu Zhian stretched and looked at the endless grassland. Suddenly, he said something that seemed unimportant: "Speaking of which, I wonder if Bodhisattva Miaoyi has ever heard that the Heavenly Dao does not allow great beings to ascend to immortality?"

"This matter has nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao, but is constrained by the rules of Heaven and Earth. Once one merges with the Dao, one cannot escape the rules; this is determined by the three Daos of Heaven, Earth, and Man."

The female bodhisattva kept her eyes closed: "But if you really ascend to heaven, the Heavenly Dao will not punish you for it, because the rules of heaven and earth do not stipulate that those who ascend will be punished."

Upon hearing this, Mu Zhian couldn't help but chuckle: "Isn't it free to do whatever it wants? When has the Heavenly Dao ever needed to follow your rules?"

The female bodhisattva slowly opened her eyes, her beautiful, emotionless eyes gazing silently into Mu Zhi'an's eyes: "The Way of Heaven is never arbitrary; it is the most powerful, supreme, and virtuous being. There is no being more just in this world."

“Logically, that should be the case…” Mu Zhian paused slightly, then asked casually, “What if she (he) possessed humanity?”

Human nature can be kind or greedy... Human character is diverse, which is why emperors often lose themselves in the pursuit of power.

The Bodhisattva Miaoyi believed that the fairness of Heaven was based on the premise that it had no humanity.

But what if Heaven possessed human nature...?

Bodhisattva Miaoyi stared into Mu Zhian's eyes: "Do you have any evidence?"

"It's just a guess, but a highly probable one."

Mu Zhian shrugged indifferently and laughed, "You should know that under the Buddhist power you are currently applying, I cannot lie."

The Bodhisattva Miaoyi said in a low voice, "In the end, you still hope that I will release you."

She looked at Mu Zhian indifferently and continued, "Even if what you just said is true, and the Heavenly Dao descends in the future, it will purge those who have ascended to immortality, and even some of the powerful beings in the Nine Provinces... But I have already made an agreement with the Lord of Reincarnation, and it cannot be changed."

Mu Zhian looked at the stunningly beautiful woman so close to him: "So even knowing that the Heavenly Dao might purge all the powerful beings after its descent, you still want to ascend to immortality? According to the Buddhist teachings of the Western Regions, people shouldn't have desires."

Bodhisattva Miaoyi calmly said, "If your guess is true, then the Heavenly Dao truly possesses desires. When the Heavenly Dao descends in the future, only my ascension to immortality will be able to protect the beings of the Western Regions."

"Can one ascend to immortality solely through the power of the collective will of all beings?" Mu Zhian asked.

"That's something we'll only know in the future. Even if we fail, it's just part of the cycle."

The Bodhisattva Miaoyi spoke indifferently, her long, flowing black hair shining brightly under the Buddha's light, her white robes covering her exquisite body, her skin as white as snow.

Mu Zhi'an looked up at the stunning figure of the female bodhisattva, and as if possessed, an incredibly absurd and daring thought flashed through his mind. Under the influence of Buddhist teachings, he actually blurted out this bold idea from his heart...

"Ascension to immortality is not limited to the power of the wishes of all living beings."

Chapter 610 Miao Yi chooses to submit, and Miss Tiandao watches from the sidelines.

Miaoyi Bodhisattva is one of only two publicly recognized Dao-merging powerhouses in the Western Regions.

As a Bodhisattva who saves all sentient beings in the Western Regions, Miaoyi undoubtedly possesses extremely high spiritual power for all sentient beings in the Western Regions, and this spiritual power transforms into countless rays of Buddha light, protecting her.

However, she was not always a Bodhisattva at the top of the Western Regions pyramid. In the past, she was enlightened by the Buddha in the Western Regions and finally achieved enlightenment.

However, now that the Buddha is unwell, several forces in the Nine Provinces have successively sent people to ascend to immortality. Even Xueyi, the Goddess of Space in the Southern Wilderness who was once an ally, has also reached the threshold of the Ascension Realm.

It would be far from the Western Regions being thrown into panic and losing their composure.

However, it is equally impossible to say that the Western Regions were completely indifferent.

Ascension to immortality signifies liberation from the shackles of heaven and earth, enabling one to save all living beings and inspire all creatures in the world to worship the Western Regions.

In a sense, the Western Regions are a force that Heaven does not favor.

Because the Way of Heaven also requires the will of all living beings, most creatures in the other states besides the Western Regions revere the Way of Heaven.
