“Lingshuang, Sister Lingshuang, why are you in such a hurry? Isn’t it better if we travel this wonderful world together?” Lu Zhen grumbled.

Since leaving the Penglai Immortal Sect, Lu Zhen had been traveling around Qianyuan Divine Province, and there was still several years before the matter in the Xuan Domain needed attention, so he was not in a rush.

In these years, he had visited the Sword Domain, Devil Region, Chaotic Domain, and even toured the Barbarian Region and Demon Domain. He left his mark in the East Sea and South Sea, but he specifically avoided the Buddha Domain.

He had a psychological shadow about the female bodhisattva on Xumi Mountain, concerned that she might play dirty tricks on him, so he thought it best not to wander under her nose.

After returning from the South Sea, Lu Zhen hung around in the areas of the Qitian Teaching and Da Jing Dynasty within the Xuan Domain. After waiting for over half a year, he finally encountered Sister Lingshuang from the Penglai Immortal Sect.

However, much to Lu Zhen’s disappointment, Ling Lingshuang hardly paid him any attention. She only greeted him with a “Junior Brother Lu” when they first met and then did not speak to him again, truly as cold as frost.

Ling Lingshuang ignored him completely as if he did not exist. Having known Lu Zhen for thousands of years, she was well aware of his feelings for her, but she had no such feelings for him.

She had rejected Lu Zhen many times before, but Lu Zhen, the Third Patriarch of Baiyujing, seemed to have no shame, always coming to pester her now and then.

Fortunately, Lu Zhen had offended a female bodhisattva over a thousand years ago and was confined by a powerful figure in Baiyujing to cultivate in seclusion, which gave her peace for over a thousand years.

About six or seven years ago, when Lu Zhen came to Penglai Island, Ling Lingshuang didn’t even show her face, letting her master Guanhai Daoren send Lu Zhen away.

She had no desire to come to the Xuan Domain to deal with the big issue that could affect the entire Qianyuan Divine Province. However, since her brothers and sisters were all in critical stages of their closed-door cultivation, her master had no choice but to send her.

After taking on the task, Ling Lingshuang deliberately waited for six or seven years before leaving the Penglai Immortal Sect to avoid Lu Zhen, but to her surprise, Lu Zhen had intentionally been waiting for her in the Da Jing Dynasty.

This left Ling Lingshuang with no choice but to acknowledge him with a call of “Junior Brother Lu” and then decided not to engage with him any further.

Ling Lingshuang understood Lu Zhen very well; if she exchanged a few words with him, he would become overbearing, always pushing the boundaries. Ling Lingshuang had no intention of giving this nuisance any opportunities.

Ling Lingshuang strolled through the sky, crossing vast distances with each step. She was pondering how to shake off Lu Zhen, who was like a persistent shadow.

With over two years remaining before that matter erupted, she still wanted to explore the Divine Continent and definitely did not want to be entangled by Lu Zhen.

“Sister Lingshuang, wait for me!”

Lu Zhen quickly followed, but he did not get too close, maintaining a distance of several hundred meters. Otherwise, Ling Lingshuang would indeed dare to take action against him.

Demon Domain, Myriad Demon Mountain.

The Demon Emperor Xue Yueqing arrived at a cliff’s edge and looked at the sea of clouds within arm’s reach. She extended her delicate jade hand to caress it and even caught a colorful cloud in her hand to admire.

After a while, she released the colorful cloud and looked towards the Xuan Domain with a sigh.

Six or seven years had passed, and the situation in the Xuan Domain had escalated, growing bigger and more intense. She too was nearly ready.

Bai Keqing had not yet returned, which caused Xue Yueqing some worry. However, Bai Keqing’s life lamp was not extinguished. In fact, it had grown brighter, piquing Xue Yueqing’s curiosity about where exactly she was.

Withdrawing her gaze, Xue Yueqing turned and continued back to her closed-door cultivation.

Through years of exploration, she had made considerable progress and, if all went smoothly, she could break through to the next realm in a year’s time.

Even if she did not succeed in breaking through, she would still leave her retreat and head to the Xuan Domain to contribute to resolving the issue. It was a calamity that affected the entire Qianyuan Divine Province, and the Demon Clan could not keep themselves safe by standing alone.

When the time came, she would also look for Bai Keqing to see where the female Demon King had run off to, pondering if Ye Fan had abducted her, for she had not returned to the Demon Domain for many years.

Buddha Domain, Xumi Mountain.

Xumi Mountain is the king of all mountains, the center of the Buddha Domain, towering a million zhang high, surrounded by floating Buddha mountains that protect Xumi Mountain on all sides.

There are also nine mountains, eight seas, and four continents centered around Xumi Mountain, collectively transforming the Buddha Domain into a pure land of Buddhism. Xumi Mountain shines like a bright and eternal divine sun, its Buddha light illuminating billions of miles of the territory within the Buddha Domain.

At this moment, high above Xumi Mountain, a female bodhisattva hung suspended in the sky, seated on a lotus platform, her mouth emanating lotus flowers as she preached to the monks of Xumi Mountain. Her Buddha’s words resonated through the vast world, her radiance shining upon the Nine Heavens.

After her sermon, the monks and Vajras dispersed. The female bodhisattva looked in the direction of the Xuan Domain, her eyes flashing an indescribable hue.

“With this Xuan Domain incident, saints from all the Sacred Lands are sending Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperors to handle it. Which of the Arhats are willing to go?” her melodious voice asked, filled with Buddhist teachings.

This Xuan Domain incident was a risk but also an opportunity. A mishandling might affect the entire Qianyuan Divine Province, yet a successful resolution might yield great fortune.

For those in the Divine Yuan Realm, it was a significant opportunity, hence the magnitude of the chance could be imagined.

The Arhats furrowed their brows, pondering whether to participate in the Xuan Domain incident, when suddenly the Joyous Arhat spoke up, “Bodhisattva, let this poor monk go this time.”

“Good,” the female bodhisattva replied with a glance, knowing the intentions of the Joyous Arhat but not minding. As long as the matter was taken care of well and did not damage the reputation of the Buddhist Sect, it was acceptable.

The bodhisattva’s figure disappeared. A few Arhats looked at the Joyous Arhat, hesitant to speak, but in the end, they left without saying anything.

“Amitabha” the Joyous Arhat murmured softly, looking at the place where the bodhisattva had been seated, a hint of longing flashing deep within his eyes.
