I Was Banished to the Western Paradise? First Update
Everywhere here is bathed in the light of Buddha, the air is filled with the sounds of Brahmaic Sound, and every inch of land is permeated with a mysterious and profound atmosphere.
Where is this?
Lu Changsheng opened his eyes, looked around, and kept trying to figure out where he was.
I remember that after I was sealed away, a Qing Feng blew by, and I was banished.
This place looks somewhat like a Buddhist realm, a Buddhist land.
Does he think that by exiling himself here, he can convert to My Buddha?
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
He then shook his head, feeling it was clearly impossible; he must have been inexplicably banished to this place.
He planned to walk around first, see if he could meet any kind people, and find out where he was and how far he was from the Endless Thunder Sea.
Lu Changsheng somewhat regretted not placing the Know-It-All Red Karma Arhat inside the Exquisite Pagoda.
Otherwise, things would be much more convenient at this time.
After all, Red Karma Arhat is an old expert; he knows everything.
As he walked, he looked around. The area was filled with Buddhist light, which shone on him, making Lu Changsheng feel as if he were in Buddha Land Pure Land.
The only flaw is that in such a Buddha Land Pure Land, he didn't even encounter a single monk, which is absurd.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lu Changsheng saw a series of steps, and on the steps was a White Monk Robe, holding a wooden pestle, walking up step by step, about to reach the top.
"Someone's here."
Lu Changsheng was delighted. The other person must know where this place is, since they are walking on these steps.
For some reason, Lu Changsheng felt that the white-robed monk looked vaguely familiar.
Without thinking much, he sat on the steps and waited for the white-robed monk to walk up step by step.
"Is this the Pure Land World?"
The Holy Monk Xuan Xin spoke these words after he had traversed the Other Shore Heavenly Stairway and ascended to the Pure Land World.
Suddenly, he stared at a figure not far away and froze.
A peerless young man, eight feet tall, dressed in a blue robe, with a handsome appearance and unparalleled temperament.
That's absolutely amazing.
Even though the Pure Land World was filled with the light of Buddha, which was incredibly sacred, it still became the background for the boy. In front of the boy, it appeared dim and lackluster, which only highlighted the boy's extraordinary nature.
The Holy Monk Xuan Xin was stunned.
They stared at the peerless young man as if they had lost their minds.
He murmured to himself, "Master."
However, in an instant, the Holy Monk Xuan Xin regained his senses, his expression became solemn, and he put his hands together in prayer. He immediately realized that this was an illusion.
The secret passage: Is this the test of the Other Shore Heavenly Stairway?
How could my master possibly be here, in the Pure Land World?
The only possibility is that this is an illusion, a trial to reach the other shore and step into the Pure Land World.
The Holy Monk Xuan Xin continuously chanted Buddhist scriptures to calm his mind, eliminate distracting thoughts, and dispel the illusion.
Lu Changsheng was also somewhat bewildered as he looked at the monk who had come up.
He knew why the monk looked familiar.
Isn't this Xuan Xin?
He was enlightened by himself and became the Xuan Xin of a Buddhist disciple.
The problem is, how did Xuan Xin end up here?
Didn't they seal away the Six Realms themselves?
No, he didn't see any trace of Xuan Xin back then, it was as if Xuan Xin was no longer in the Six Realms.
So the question is, where have I been exiled to?
Why did Xuan Xin immediately close his eyes and start chanting scriptures as soon as he saw me? What's going on? Shouldn't he be shouting with joy?
As for not recognizing him, Lu Changsheng didn't believe it.
Wherever he goes, the whole world pales in comparison; he is the focus of the world's attention. How could anyone not recognize him?
Could it be that although the seal has been broken, his handsome appearance and unparalleled charisma have been sealed away?
Lu Changsheng raised his hand and pointed, and a mirror appeared, showing a handsome young man, who was exactly like him.
Even though it was just his reflection in the mirror, which was less than one ten-thousandth of his original form, it was still unparalleled and made the world pale in comparison.
This reassured Lu Changsheng that he was still handsome.
After all, he's a main character who makes a living based on his looks.
Without much thought, Lu Changsheng walked forward, approached the monk who was chanting sutras with his eyes closed, and called out, "Xuan Xin."
His voice was gentle and warm, like jade.
Xuan Xin, who was chanting sutras with her eyes closed, had just cleared her mind of distractions when her heart suddenly became chaotic.
He thought to himself, "As expected of the Pure Land World, this test illusion is so realistic that it's almost indistinguishable from reality. It seems that my Buddhist practice is still inadequate."
No response?
What's going on?
Could it be that I mistook someone for someone else, or that they just look alike?
Lu Changsheng didn't believe it. Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, he felt he wouldn't mistake someone else for someone else, so he continued to speak and called out.
"Xuan Xin?"
Upon hearing this, the Holy Monk Xuan Xin opened his eyes.
The trials of this Pure Land World were terrifying and powerful. They not only revealed Lu Changsheng's unparalleled appearance and peerless temperament, but also made his behavior and voice appear exactly the same.
He knew that the only way to truly eliminate illusions was to confront them directly.
"Xuan Xin, what are you doing here? Where is this?"
Lu Changsheng said this when he saw Xuan Xin open her eyes.
Xuan Xin understood.
He understood.
This is the test to ascend to the Other Shore Heavenly Stairway and enter the Pure Land World.
The other party transformed into the appearance of his master to question him and debate the Dharma with him.
"I begged the Buddha to come here, for this is the Pure Land World of Ultimate Bliss."
Xuan Xin's face remained calm, her serene smile returning as she slowly spoke.
Lu Changsheng was stunned when he heard these words.
The Pure Land World.
There are so many different versions of the Pure Land World of Ultimate Bliss.
I don't know how many Buddhist sects like to use this name, calling their world things like the Pure Land World of Ultimate Bliss, the Western Paradise, etc. It's become so common.
"What kind of world is this?" Lu Changsheng continued to ask.
He realized that he was very likely banished to the Outer Domain, so he needed to confirm the world.
Xuan Xin fell into deep thought, pondering this question.
What does "this world" refer to?
Does it refer to the Great Thousand World, or to the Western Paradise where I reside?
"Thus have I heard: the beings in that land are free from all suffering and enjoy only bliss; therefore, it is called the Land of Ultimate Bliss."
Xuan Xin replied in this way.
Lu Changsheng was speechless.
What's wrong with Xuan Xin? Did he kowtow during his ascension, or did he go crazy from Wooden Fish?
"Is this the Great Thousand World, or some other world beyond?"
Lu Changsheng explained it very clearly.
He always felt that he was still in the Great Thousand World, but he wasn't sure.
After all, you can still see the stars in the sky.
Although these Da Luo Star and celestial bodies should also be visible in the Outer Domain.
Xuan Xin was somewhat puzzled.
This is a profound question, different from the Buddhist teachings he usually reads, learns, and understands.
He naturally knew what "the Great Thousand World" meant; it referred to the boundless world.
But how could this problem be so simple?
Xuan Xin fell silent; he was thinking.
Lu Changsheng felt a little uncomfortable. When he asked a question, the answer was either irrelevant or the person didn't speak for so long. How could they have a conversation?
What exactly did Xuan Xin go through to become like this?
Just as Lu Changsheng was about to speak again, Xuan Xin spoke up, "The Great Thousand World."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng was shocked.
The Great Thousand World, the Pure Land World.
The Western Paradise.
He was banished to the Western Paradise.
Hiss!
Hiss!
Hiss!
Lu Changsheng couldn't help but gasp.
Isn't the Western Paradise the domain of the Supreme Buddha Mother?
The Supreme Buddha Mother is also a member of the Palm Heaven Sect.
Is the Palm Heaven Sect trying to get the Supreme Buddha Mother to convert them to Buddhism?
