Upon hearing this, Qin Tian became even more certain of his guess: "This is the biggest problem."
Qin Tian turned to look at Jue Youqing, his gaze deep: "Over countless ages, the mark of a Bodhisattva would become illusory, but this little novice monk remains so clear."
Qin Tian said quietly, "No matter how I think about it, something doesn't feel right!"
Jue Youqing frowned, and the next moment, it was as if something had been broken.
Jue Youqing also noticed that something was wrong.
"The obstacle to perception!" The sentient being exclaimed in horror.
Jueyouqing was horrified: "I have actually fallen into the trap of perception!"
She thought that's how the little monk should be, but Qin Tian's words made her realize something was wrong.
"Dreams always make it hard to distinguish oneself," Qin Tian said quietly.
All living beings entering this world will be influenced by the Bodhisattva realm.
Only Qin Tian, who reigns supreme in heaven and earth and is unaffected by external factors, is able to glimpse the truth.
"So this little novice monk is probably inheriting something extraordinary?" Qin Tian raised an eyebrow. For a cowlick to stand up like that, it must be some kind of extraordinary inheritance.
"I knew you were destined to be with Buddha!" Jueyouqing smiled, and for a moment the entire Bodhisattva realm seemed to brighten up.
Qin Tian looked at the young novice monk and said with a complicated expression, "Judging from the young novice monk's movements, I can roughly guess whose inheritance this is."
The young novice quickly finished watering the vegetables, then took out a broom, piled up the withered branches and fallen leaves, and suddenly stopped, lying down on the ground, quietly watching the ants return to their burrows.
Seeing this, Jue Youqing's face gradually flushed, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
The most crucial point is that Jueyouqing had climbed Mount Sumeru and worshipped the golden vajra, and his aura was exactly the same as that of the little novice monk in front of him.
Qin Tian chuckled: "Just as I expected, since all the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats have left their legacy in this Bodhisattva Realm, how could the Great Emperor Amitabha Buddha not have left some legacy as well!"
"There are always some things that are not suitable to stay on Mount Sumeru."
You agree, Emperor Hengyu!
The patriarch of the Path of Human Desire!
The classic "I Have a Friend" series.
If he kept this thing at the Jiang family's place...
Well... how should the Jiang family view this ancestor now?
How will future emperors evaluate Emperor Hengyu, and how will the various forces of the Big Dipper view the Jiang family?
Even regarding that Sun God Furnace, one might inevitably develop some strange opinions.
How many goddesses would avoid the Sun God's Furnace like the plague?
Therefore, Emperor Hengyu's "friend" suddenly appeared.
Jue Youqing asked, "How did you find out?"
Qin Tian explained, "Because of your Buddhist nature, you are easily influenced by the Bodhisattva realm."
"My Buddha-nature is unique and will not be affected by external things."
The lineage of Mount Sumeru worships the Buddha of others, entrusting their own Buddha-nature to others, and thus are naturally more susceptible to the influence of a higher Buddha-nature.
Only Amitabha Buddha Emperor believed in himself, and was also self-centered, chanting "Namo Amitabha Buddha"!
Even later figures like Shakyamuni and Hua Hua, although they do not acknowledge themselves as Amitabha Buddha, all follow the path of self-importance, which is exactly the same as Amitabha Buddha.
But Amitabha Buddha didn't care. What did it matter if he approved or not?
His compassion and kindness were not only extended to outsiders; he was also kind to his own people.
Since both Shakyamuni and Huahua have chosen to walk their own paths, let Amitabha Buddha end this here.
This also reflects his Buddhist heart.
Sweeping might harm ants, and we cherish moths by covering lamps with gauze; how could we possibly trouble Buddha and flowers?
Such a Amitabha Buddha, seeking a successor to pass on some unknown lineage, is naturally quite selective.
To find a successor, one should naturally look for someone with similar traits.
Only those who can cultivate themselves into Buddha-nature and use that Buddha-nature to influence the Buddha are qualified to be his successors.
How can one become a true Buddha by relying on others for one's own Buddha-nature? Every great emperor is unique and supreme, and Amitabha Buddha is no exception!
Qin Tian said, "I guess... I'm probably not the first person to discover the legacy of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor."
Jue Youqing recalled the information he had initially explained to Qin Tian: many amazing Buddhist disciples were expected to succeed him, including future successors of Mount Sumeru, but they all died in the Bodhisattva realm.
These events turned the once peaceful and tranquil Bodhisattva Realm into an ominous place, and the abbots of major temples forbade cultivators with low cultivation levels from entering the Bodhisattva Realm.
"You mean!" Jue Youqing understood Qin Tian's meaning and exclaimed in shock, "Those geniuses who died in the Bodhisattva Realm all died because of the test given by the Amitabha Buddha Emperor?"
"I don't know!" Qin Tian said bluntly, "Amitabha Buddha, the Great Emperor, is benevolent!"
"Sweeping the floor may harm ants, and protecting moths may cause them to fly away; cover lamps with gauze."
"How could it possibly leave behind a legacy that causes death?" Qin Tian speculated. "Perhaps, a part of this legacy is something even the Amitabha Buddha Emperor himself couldn't control?!"
Qin Tian looked expectant, just as there was a connection between Wushi and Wuzhong, and between Wanqing and the Chaos Azure Lotus Immortal King.
There is a subtle connection between Amitabha Buddha and a Buddhist immortal king—the Immortal Monk King.
Perhaps it was because the inheritance that Amitabha Buddha received was too dangerous that it was not placed on Mount Sumeru.
Instead, they chose to leave it in this Bodhisattva realm, waiting for the appearance of a destined person.
Qin Tian's ahoge (cowlick) stood upright on his head, gleaming and exuding a kingly aura: "Let's go, let's go take a look!"
Qin Tian and Jue Youqing then set foot in the temple where the young novice monk resided.
An invisible pressure swept over him, and involuntarily, Qin Tian released the Dharma Image of "I Am the Only One in Heaven and Earth". As the Dharma Image appeared, the pressure disappeared like a gentle breeze.
Even sentient beings manifest the form of Bodhisattvas.
Qin Tian walked up to the young novice monk, and Jue Youqing quickly followed.
Qin Tian clasped his hands together, bowed, and said, "Senior, I wish to receive your inheritance."
The young novice remained silent, continuing his daily sweeping and cleaning routine.
Gradually, however, a surge of supreme energy rose up, and the originally headless Buddha statue gradually lit up, glittering with golden light, magnificent and splendid, its radiant power of faith soaring straight into the sky, vast and boundless.
The headless Buddha transformed into a flawless golden body, radiating billions of rays of light that illuminated the entire Bodhisattva realm. A tremendous roar resounded through the sky, accompanied by countless rays of light and patches of auspicious clouds.
The two recognized it at a glance; the ancient Buddha statue was none other than Amitabha!
"Amitabha!"
The sound of Zen is like the sound of thunder, with immeasurable light emanating from it, illuminating the boundless chaos. It is also like the roar of a lion, clear and long, shaking the ages and space, and deterring all evil spirits and heretics.
Sorry, I'm a little late.

Chapter 111 A Young Emperor? No, a Young Emperor!
Amidst the golden light, gazing directly at the majestic Dharma image, Qin Tian murmured softly, "Then... let me see what kind of legacy the Amitabha Buddha Emperor left behind!"
Soon, the look in Qin Tian's eyes changed from anticipation to disdain: "Just as I expected,"
"A strong sense of 'Covering the Sky' style!"
"Let's put aside the matter of inheritance for now, let's have a fight and see if we're strong enough!"
Qin Tian looked ahead with a helpless expression.
The surrounding environment transformed back into the Western Desert, with its crisscrossing mountains and plains, Bodhi trees everywhere, orchids drifting down from the sky, their fragrance filling the air, and incense burning brightly.
The young novice monk who used to sweep the temple in front of the mountain had grown into a young man. He stood there holding a vajra made of divine purple gold, his body radiating golden light. There was an immortal true meaning flowing through him, spreading an immortal radiance, hazy and indistinct.
Qin Tian complained, "I thought the Amitabha Buddha Emperor would be a little different, and would first discuss the Dao or talk about Buddhist teachings or something."
"I didn't expect that he would be just like those barbarians, only good at fighting."
The young novice monk said, "Discussions on the Dao will be addressed in later stages. This stage is merely a test of whether you are qualified to be tested."
"You have a mind of your own?!"
Qin Tian's eyes flashed with a three-foot-long divine light, his expression very solemn.
Qin Tian asked with slight hesitation, "Amitabha Buddha, Great Emperor?!"
"This humble monk is merely Amitabha!" The young novice smiled, "Neither Buddha nor Emperor!"
The young novice continued, "In the past, when I walked the ancient path through the starry sky, not a single person was willing to listen to my teachings."
"They were all subdued by this humble monk before they were willing to listen to him talk about the Buddha and discuss the Dharma."
"I never expected that someone would be willing to discuss the Dao with this humble monk."
Amitabha said with a look of satisfaction, "You've made great progress!"
Qin Tian sneered: "But after listening to it, you were converted?!"
“They didn’t convert me; they followed me voluntarily,” Amitabha said solemnly.
Qin Tian raised an eyebrow. To be honest, he was a little skeptical. So many powerful demons came to the Western Desert, only to be taken as mounts or as protectors. What else could it be but conversion?
Amitabha sighed helplessly: "I know you don't believe it, and no one who has come here over the years has believed it."
"Everyone believes that I am extremely skilled in the art of salvation, able to erase the minds of others and turn them into my servants."
Amitabha's tone became aggrieved as he said, "Even my disciples and grand-disciples believed it to be true, and even created a secret method for saving people, saying that they wanted to inherit my special skills."
"Special skill... Amitabha, monks cannot use foul language!" Amitabha took a deep breath and continued, "This is slander, pure slander!"
"At that time, I captured a thousand people, but only a few chose to follow me."
"If it were truly about conversion, then all three thousand people would have been converted long ago!"
Qin Tian's lips twitched: "Three thousand people? That's probably like capturing all the geniuses from several trials!"
Amitabha continued, sounding quite aggrieved: "Really, all the great emperors of the past had followers, but is it not enough for a mere monk to have two or three believers!"
"It's like this humble monk has converted the entire ancient starry road. Isn't this just bullying honest people?!" Amitabha waved his fist, indignant.
"This Amitabha Buddha is a little different from what I remember!" Qin Tian muttered to himself, his lips twitching.
"That's right. The emperors that people talk about are all viewed with admiration, looking up to them. This naturally leads to the image of a majestic and compassionate emperor."
Qin Tian understood: "Who has ever had a close conversation with the Emperor? Who knows what the Emperor is like in private?"
"Just look at the legendary Tribulation-Transcending Celestial Venerable and you'll know!"
Qin Tian murmured to himself, "In the eyes of the world, the Tribulation-Crossing Celestial Venerable is a Taoist with extraordinary talent and a heart for the world, who single-handedly created the five secret realms and attained the Dao."
In the mythological era, the status of the Transcending Tribulation Immortal Scripture was even higher than that of the two mother scriptures of the human race, Taiyin and Taiyang.
Because it was the first scripture to explain how to achieve emperorhood by connecting the five great secret realms, all subsequent scriptures were essentially adaptations of this one.
Qin Tian calmed his mind to avoid Amitabha's notice, and whispered to himself, "But the truth is... hey, the legendary Tribulation Transcending Celestial Venerable is nothing more than a fat dead man who digs up graves and steals tombs everywhere."
Why does the Great Emperor Wushi turn his back to all living beings? And who was the first Holy Maiden of Yaochi?
"Even Emperor Hengyu is unwilling to mention it!"
"Even the Void Emperor is the same. He had no bad deeds in his previous life, but in this life, he became the Yellow Emperor and learned bad things from the Flame Emperor."
"Tsk tsk, having three thousand women..."
"These emperors can't be examined too closely; they have too many dark histories!"
Amitabha, unaware of Qin Tian's inner thoughts, said, "Over the years, I have met many amazing and decisive people, and I have reminded them many times, but no one is willing to listen. They all fall at the last hurdle."
"So I guess you won't listen."
Amitabha's eyes were filled with compassion: "But I still want to say it again."
"Act within your capabilities!"
"If it doesn't work, just quit." Amitabha's expression was serious and sincere.
Qin Tian silently shook his head, indicating his refusal. For his luck-enhancing hair to react in this way, there must be an unparalleled opportunity hidden here.
He will never give up, no matter what!
