It turns out, they were the main characters.

However, there was something she did not tell the Buddhas of the Western Regions.

That is, she also confirmed whether the spiritual energy of the innate furnace can really help others ascend to immortality.

As it turns out, the rumor was true.

Such terrifying power is far too dangerous.

Most importantly, there are absolutely no aftereffects from ascending to immortality through the innate furnace.

The only requirement is that the other party must be female, and secondly, the natural furnace owner must be willing.

Once the two parties reach an agreement, they can ascend to immortality using the innate furnace.

Too dangerous.

How many 'Human Emperors' could a naturally born furnace, which requires no cost, give birth to in the Nine Provinces?

Only by ascending to immortality can one break free from the constraints of rules and protect the surrounding area in the future.

This is an irresistible temptation.

Originally, according to the initial plan, Bodhisattva Miaoyi was supposed to ascend to heaven through the power of sentient beings' vows.

In fact, the Buddha of the past had come very close to that level, but now he was unwell, and the willpower of sentient beings in the Western Regions had been reduced due to the frequent activities in the forbidden land. Therefore, it was no longer possible for him to use the willpower of sentient beings to achieve ascension in the short term.

Currently, the only way to ascend to immortality is by using elixirs or by using a naturally formed alchemical furnace.

But if she were to truly submit to the innate furnace, all her past cultivation might vanish into nothingness... After all, in the eyes of the world, the Bodhisattva Miaoyi is flawless and would never do anything shameful in order to ascend to immortality.

Doing so will affect her will.

But if things continue like this... Dongzhou, with two cultivators at the Feather Transformation Realm, might be able to protect the region when the Heavenly Dao descends.

But what about the Western Regions?

Perhaps finding out why Mu Zhian's innate furnace has such effects might lead to another path.

As Bodhisattva Miaoyi was thinking about this, she suddenly heard a sound of spatial tremor coming from behind her.

Her expression was calm and composed as she turned her head to look.

In my field of vision was a woman who looked very familiar.

She was a woman dressed in a light purple gauze, with a faint swirling light emanating from beneath her feet, and her deep eyes possessed a captivating charm.

The current Lord of Reincarnation, Ni Yan.

"Was it just an avatar? It seems you've encountered quite a bit of trouble in the Forbidden Zone of Reincarnation."

Bodhisattva Miaoyi immediately saw through the 'weakness' of the body of the Lord of Reincarnation before her. Clearly, the Niyan who appeared here was just an avatar.

Ni Yan snorted coldly: "That old thing is too troublesome. After his return, many people in the Samsara Forbidden Land have voluntarily submitted to him. My main body is temporarily unable to get away."

"Has Mu Zhian been found?" she asked again.

Bodhisattva Miaoyi nodded calmly: "They have been caught and are currently being held at Nalanda Temple."

Although she didn't really want to hand Mu Zhi'an over, since Mu Zhi'an had already made his point, she would naturally choose to cooperate with his plan.

A gleam of surprise lit up Ni Yan's deep eyes, but she quickly calmed down: "Mu Zhian needs to stay in Nalanda for a few days. I can't get away during this time and can't bring him back to the Samsara Forbidden Land."

"What if the Immortal Forbidden Land also comes to demand people?" Bodhisattva Miaoyi asked.

“I will discuss this privately with Isis. Until then, let him stay in Nalanda,” Niyan said.

Both she and the other two forbidden places now desperately want Mu Zhi'an.

But handing him over to any forbidden place would inevitably cause dissatisfaction from the other party.

Since that's the case, it's better to let Mu Zhian stay in the Western Regions for the time being until we've dealt with that old man who was the first Lord of Reincarnation.

After all, the Dharma practiced in the Western Regions is based on the wishes and power of all sentient beings, and Mu Zhi'an is of no use to the monks of the Western Regions.

Staying with Bodhisattva Miaoyi to take care of things is something that both the forbidden land of samsara and the forbidden land of immortality can accept.

"When will the nation's fortune be traded?" Bodhisattva Miaoyi asked.

"After handing over Mu Zhi'an, I will naturally entrust the fate of the nation to the Western Regions. Don't worry," Ni Yan said with a smile.

After exchanging a few more words with Bodhisattva Miaoyi, Niyan did not linger there any longer. Instead, she turned into a beam of light and returned to her original form.

She is currently too busy to attend to anything else.

Bodhisattva Miaoyi silently watched Ni Yan's figure disappear from sight before quietly withdrawing her gaze.

Regardless of her interest in the innate furnace, she needed to understand exactly how Mu Zhian's innate furnace was constructed.

The fact that even the long-dormant forbidden lands could become restless, secretly coveting Mu Zhi'an or wanting to kill him, is enough to demonstrate his importance.

Thinking of this, Bodhisattva Miaoyi clasped her hands together, and her graceful figure transformed into golden light particles, disappearing beneath the ancient tree amidst the rustling leaves.

……

As the light particles re-condensed, the slender figure of the female bodhisattva appeared at the doorway of a house.

Her gaze fell directly on the closed room in front of her.

Mu Zhian actually set up a formation in the room in less than an hour. Was he afraid of being spied on?

Bodhisattva Miaoyi raised her hand and formed a hand seal, easily breaking the formation.

Just as she approached the door, she heard a gentle voice coming from inside the room:

"I wonder what brings Bodhisattva Miaoyi to visit you so late at night?"

The female bodhisattva parted her red lips slightly and said, "I do have some questions I'd like to ask you. May I come inside now?"

The sounds inside the room quieted down for a moment, until a slightly strange reply came from the boy: "Um... come in."

For some reason, the female bodhisattva felt that there was something inexplicably off about Mu Zhian's tone, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it at the moment.

She pushed open the door and saw the boy sitting by the window.

At a desk filled with the scent of ancient ink, Mu Zhian was writing something.

Although most of his body was hidden by the table, it was still easy to sense the young man's elegant demeanor, as if every gesture exuded the grace of a noble young master.

In fact, the Bodhisattva Miaoyi had seen such elegant young men in Nalanda Monastery. Most of these people had seemingly gorgeous appearances, but beneath those gorgeous appearances lay ugly hearts.

In the past, some people even saw the Bodhisattva Myo-yi while worshipping at Nalanda Monastery and developed evil thoughts towards her.

Without exception, all of these people were successfully converted through the purification of the power of the vows of all sentient beings, and from then on, their six senses were purified.

Mu Zhian had clearly spied on her body before, and even Miaoyi Bodhisattva could sense that he was staring at her fair and white feet.

However, he was not purified by the wishes of all beings.

"Bodhisattva Miaoyi, is there something important that you need to do so late?"

Mu Zhian stopped writing and turned his head to look at the female bodhisattva who stood in the distance, always suspended in mid-air, with her feet on a sacred lotus flower.

“The Lord of Reincarnation, Niyan, came to see me before. I think Isis will also come to the Western Regions after this.”

The Bodhisattva Miaoyi calmly said, "I'm here to remind you not to leave Nalanda Temple during this time, otherwise I won't be able to protect you."

Mu Zhian smiled and nodded: "Yes, I know what I'm doing. I won't leave until your deal with the Forbidden Land is complete. It will be a bit of a hassle for you for a while, but this is all for the sake of the Western Regions..."

He suddenly gasped, his body tensing slightly, before glancing casually at Miss Tiandao hiding under the table.

This Miss Tiandao clearly said that the people of Kyushu must not discover that she has intimate relations with a human, so what's going on now...?

Could it be that, like Yao Meng, he has awakened some strange and dangerous fetish?

Fortunately, Bodhisattva Miaoyi did not notice this abnormality, because Mu Zhian's words reminded her of her past experiences in the Western Regions.

Yes, it was all for the Western Regions.

She wasn't initially hailed as a Bodhisattva; in the beginning, she was just an ordinary girl from a humble family.

One day, the Buddha's light shone brightly over the Western Regions, and many cultivators ascended to higher levels within the light, listening to the Dharma.

Among those people, she stood out the most and was accepted as a disciple by the Buddha of Nalanda.

Since then, she has devoted herself to spiritual practice, for the sake of the Western Regions and for the sake of all sentient beings, to save all sentient beings. She was later known as the Bodhisattva Miaoyi.

Everything she did afterward was for the sake of the Western Regions.

Of course, it wasn't entirely for the Western Regions.

At this moment, Mu Zhian had regained his composure and signaled to Miss Tiandao with his eyes not to act recklessly. Then he smiled gently and said, "Actually, sometimes I admire you quite a bit. At least I can't save all living beings or even dedicate everything to the Western Regions."

Bodhisattva Miaoyi remained indifferent: "I did do it for the Western Regions, but it was also for my own ascension to immortality."

"But wasn't your reason for ascending to immortality so that you could protect the Western Regions when the Heavenly Dao descends in the future?" Mu Zhian countered.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But it shouldn't be just that purpose... Ascension to immortality must also be a desire deep within you, right?"

At that moment, Bodhisattva Miaoyi fell silent.

In the Western Regions, people believed that the Bodhisattva Miaoyi was flawless and perfect.

Only this child saw through her heart.

Even as a bodhisattva in Nalanda, she still had desires.

This desire, however, had gradually become uncontrollable since he sensed the spiritual energy of Mu Zhian's innate furnace not long ago.

The sweet aroma emanating from that innate furnace seemed to be tempting any member of the opposite sex who came into contact with him.

Even she was no exception.

In the dim light, the female bodhisattva seemed to faintly smell the alluring fragrance emanating from the innate furnace.

"If I remember correctly, you shouldn't be able to actively activate the innate furnace, right?" she suddenly asked.

“Of course, the innate furnace is passively given.” Mu Zhian paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, “Why are you asking this out of the blue?”

"I seem to smell the aura of a natural furnace," Bodhisattva Miaoyi said softly.

"Uh...it's probably just my imagination..."

For a moment, Mu Zhian's voice seemed to drift away, and he sounded unusually guilty.

Hiding under the table, Miss Tiandao raised her eyes to look at her master. Those beautiful eyes were still so lovely... but they seemed to be filled with endless allure.

Bodhisattva Miaoyi nodded silently.

Is it just my imagination...?
