Western Development! Jieyin and Zhunti Build a Golden Amusement Park!
When the Ancestor Minghe's "Game Dao" and the Old Ancestor Kunpeng's "Travel Dao" successively attained enlightenment, almost shattering the entire Primordial World.
In the distant Western Continent, the art style went to the other extreme.
A more unrestrained style, permeated with the strong stench of capitalism.
Jieyin and Zhunti, these two famously "miserable" beings of the Primordial World, are directing hundreds of millions of living beings in an unprecedented large-scale development.
Three thousand years ago, they returned from Kunlun Mountain carrying the Primordial Violet Qi purified by the Lin Shen.
Unlike Minghe and Kunpeng, they didn't immerse themselves in technological research and development, racking their brains about "how to improve user experience".
These two individuals always have a roundabout way of thinking, but they always get straight to the heart of the problem.
What do children like?
Sparkling!
That's fun!
It's lively!
And what about their Western Continent?
Birds don't poop there, dogs don't pee there, it's all yellowish-brown, and a gust of wind can blow two pounds of sand into your pocket.
They were so poor that even mice would leave with tears in their eyes.
Who would come to this run-down place, let alone Little Ancestor?
What to do?
One word—change!
No money? No resources?
That's not a problem!
If there are no conditions, create them!
Thus, the most shameless and audacious "financing plan" since the World Creation of Primordial World was staged in a grand manner on the Western Continent.
"Heaven's will prevails!"
Standing atop Mount Sumeru, holding the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, the Daoist Zhunti faced the vast sky, tears streaming down his face, his acting skills enough to move the entire Three Realms.
He cried out, making his first great vow before attaining enlightenment.
"I, Zhunti, am heartbroken to see the suffering of the beings in the West! I vow to transform myself into Bodhi, to Saving All Sentient Beings and enlighten all spirits!"
"If this wish of mine is fulfilled, may everyone in the Western Land hear the Dao, and may spiritual roots be found everywhere!"
"If Heaven wills so, please bestow immeasurable merit to help me fulfill this great vow!"
Boom--!
High above, the will of Heaven was stirred, and a thunderclap descended, as if assessing the feasibility of the project.
Beside him, the Daoist Jieyin immediately followed. His old face, which was naturally etched with "suffering," was now filled with extreme compassion, as if he were about to pass away for the sake of all living beings at any moment.
"Heaven's will is above! I, Jieyin, see the Western land barren, all things withering, and I cannot sleep at night! I wish to dedicate myself to the three thousand dreams, to create the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss for all beings, so that their hearts may have a direction, and their souls may have a home!"
"If my wish is fulfilled, may the Western land be paved with gold, its tiles made of lapis lazuli, its Eight Merit Waters, and its Seven Treasures Trees!"
"If Heaven wills so, please bestow immeasurable merit to help me fulfill this great vow!"
The two sang in perfect harmony, their voices blending seamlessly together.
The grand ambitions they made were all getting bigger and more outrageous than the last.
From "let every grain of sand become a relic" to "let every river flow with honey and milk".
From "establishing the first free nine-year compulsory education institution in the Primordial World" to "achieving universal health insurance in the West, where medical treatment is free of charge".
They presented all the "people's livelihood projects" and "social welfare" that future generations could think of as exquisite PowerPoint presentations, all in accordance with the principles of Heaven.
What is the Way of Heaven?
The Way of Heaven is a collection of rules.
It has no emotions, only cold logic.
In its judgment, these grand ambitions are all "super beneficial" projects that are conducive to the stability and development of the Primordial World.
Although it sounds like bragging or making empty promises.
But what if?
What if those two actually turn their boasts into reality?
Thus, driven by the rules, Heaven tacitly approved.
It did not immediately bestow merit.
Instead, they opened a huge "merit credit card" for Jieyin and Zhunti!
Boom--!!!
Golden Cloud of Merit of merit, larger and denser than ever before, gathered above the western land!
This golden cloud represents their "credit limit".
If their grand ambitions are realized, this merit can truly be secured.
If this cannot be achieved... then the consequences will naturally be "insolvency," a situation even Sage could not bear.
But Jieyin and Zhunti afraid?
They are not afraid!
Fortune favors the bold! As long as you don't lose heart, there's always a way to overcome difficulties!
Having secured their first pot of gold through a loan, the two immediately embarked on a vigorous "Western Development" project.
They regarded that enormous Golden Cloud of Merit as an all-powerful "building material" and "catalyst".
Zhunti brandished the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, unleashing a blinding Golden Light of Merit that struck directly into the barren land.
The once barren yellow sand was instantly transformed into a brilliant gold.
The earth's veins were forcibly regulated by merit, and spiritual energy began to grow wildly and savagely!
He planted a Bodhi seed and then watered it with the Golden Light of Merit.
The Bodhi seed grew into a giant tree that was tens of thousands of feet tall in just a few days!
The tree trunk is made of pure gold, the leaves are Seven-Colored Glaze, and it is adorned with strings of pearl-like and agate-like fruits.
This isn't Bodhi Tree, it's clearly a super money tree!
The Jieyin is more direct.
He poured his Golden Light of Merit, like paint, into the western river.
The murky river water instantly became clear, golden sands welled up from the riverbed, and the river water emitted a sweet fragrance.
It truly became "Eight Merit Waters" in the literal sense!
He used merit as bricks and laws as mortar to build magnificent, radiant palaces on Mount Sumeru!
The palace's dazzling light was enough to blind even Daluo Golden Immortal!
Over the course of three thousand years, the entire western land has undergone earth-shattering changes thanks to their almost "cheating" construction methods.
This place is no longer barren.
Here, everything is dazzling and glittering.
Although it looks a little... rustic.
It's a little... corny.
It's full of nouveau riche aesthetics.
But there's no denying that this place is really sparkly!
It perfectly fulfills every child's fantasy about "treasure"!
When the last golden palace was completed, when the last Seven Treasures Trees was planted.
Looking at the "golden Theme Park" they had created, Jieyin and Zhunti felt that their path to enlightenment had also been perfected.
Their path is "wish".
It is the path of grand aspirations—daring to make grand promises to the heavens and having the ability to bring those promises to fruition!
They exchanged a glance, and on each other's faces, which were still filled with suffering, yet whose eyes gleamed with shrewdness and satisfaction, they saw the same resolute determination.
The two sat cross-legged under the largest golden Bodhi Tree, opened their mouths wide, and swallowed the Chaos Primordial Violet Qi in one gulp!
That seemingly indestructible barrier of Sage crumbled as thin as a sheet of paper before their new path, brimming with "business acumen" and "financial leverage"!
Boom--! Boom--!
Two extraordinary auras of Sage power, brimming with the promise of "dreams come true" and "wishes be fulfilled," surged from the western lands, their golden light illuminating the three realms!
Jieyin Zhunti attained enlightenment on the same day!
They did not become the traditional Heavenly Dao Sage.
They became the most knowledgeable about "capital operation" since Primordial World Creation of time...
Wish Sage!
