Xiao Yan Talks About Fa Hai

As for the connection between Xiao Yan and the Huaxia Empire, Xiao Yan did not tell Xiao Xun'er much. Seeing him fall silent, Xiao Xun'er did not press further, merely resolving to have her clan investigate it thoroughly.

The two arrived at the Council Hall. The topic of discussion was surprisingly the Buddhist Sect's sermon in Green Mountain Town ten days from now. Xiao Zhan decided to personally lead ten clan members to Green Mountain Town, with Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er among them. This left Xiao Yan extremely excited.

Major powers such as the Gama Royal Family, Yun Lan Sect, Nalan Family, Mittel Family, and Mu Family were also holding meetings at this moment. Their discussions likewise concerned Journey to the West and the trip to Green Mountain Town ten days from now.

Yun Lan Sect in particular was concerned. Yun Lan Sect had originally been the number one power in the Gama Empire, but if the contents of Journey to the West were true, and if the Buddhist Sect disciples who had come to the Gama Empire truly were Dou Emperors as everyone claimed, then the situation in the Gama Empire might change because of them.

In short, Green Mountain Town was destined not to be peaceful ten days from now.

However, the culprit behind all this was not paying any attention to the movements of those powers, because he was currently directing work at the newly built Guanyin Monastery in the center of Green Mountain Town.

The description on the back of the Character Summoning Card also finally allowed Ye Qiu to breathe a sigh of relief. This was the confidence and reason why Ye Qiu did not care how turbulent the Gama Empire currently was.

Hehe, a Two Star Dou Ancestor. Now I can finally relax a little. With Fa Hai here, it won't matter what happens in ten days. I might as well have Fa Hai establish a sect here and spread the Buddhist Dharma. Otherwise, keeping him by my side all the time will make me lose my motivation. Mm. Ye Qiu thought.

But how should Fa Hai make his entrance ten days from now? That's a problem... Mm, I've got it.

"System, I want to buy the Future Tech World's Super Large Holographic Imaging Equipment."

"Mm, not bad." Seeing his information, Ye Qiu nodded in satisfaction.

"Activate the holographic imaging." Ye Qiu began setting up and activating the equipment.

The sky above all of Green Mountain Town suddenly shone with golden light, and a voice like thunder descended from the heavens. "Namo Amitabha!"

"Ah!"

"Heavens, why has the sky changed?"

"What was that sound?"

"What's happening?"

The sudden phenomenon threw the people of Green Mountain Town into panic. Even people in nearby towns could vaguely see the changes above Green Mountain Town.

"Namo Amitabha!" The majestic Buddhist chant rang out once more.

"Th-this... did you hear that?" The people of Green Mountain Town and the nearby towns clearly heard the Buddhist chant this time.

"Ah, I heard it. Namo Amitabha... c-could it be..." After their initial shock, countless people revealed looks of delight.

"Th-this is..." Xiao Yan, far away in Wu Tan City, also heard the Buddhist chant. At this moment, he stood with the Xiao Family atop the highest point of their residence, where they could vaguely see the scene above distant Green Mountain Town.

"The Buddhist Decree has arrived!"

"We respectfully welcome our Buddha's decree!" At that moment, Ye Qiu suddenly ran out of the monastery. Reaching a crowded area of Green Mountain Town, he abruptly dropped to his knees and shouted.

"Ah?! Ah, we respectfully welcome the decree!" Seeing Ye Qiu suddenly kneel, everyone immediately came to their senses. During this period, Ye Qiu had been a prominent figure in Green Mountain Town. They were not fools; they had all read Journey to the West and knew what Namo Amitabha meant. Seeing his appearance, they all dropped to their knees at once.

When others saw those around them kneeling, they knelt as well. This chain reaction caused not only all of Green Mountain Town, but even people in several surrounding cities, to kneel and kowtow.

"By decree of the Western Paradise Tathagata: the Gama Empire is an uncivilized land in the northwest, where many living beings suffer. Let Fa Hai of Golden Mountain Temple spread the Buddhist Dharma in Gama and save the people of the world. Once his merit is complete, he shall be ranked among the Buddhas. Namo Amitabha!" The majestic voice resounded throughout the Gama Empire.

While everyone lowered their heads, immersed in this unbelievable event, Ye Qiu immediately chanted in his heart, Use the Fa Hai Summoning Card.

"Fa Hai respectfully obeys my Buddha's decree." The character card in Ye Qiu's mental space suddenly vanished. At the same time, a beam of aurora descended from the horizon, and a man stepped through the void, forming a Buddhist gesture as he slowly emerged from the aurora.

"Th-this... walking through the void... a D-Dou Zong!" Hearing a different sound, one person cautiously raised his head and secretly glanced at the sky. Upon seeing the middle-aged man above, he cried out in shock.

"What? He really is a Dou Zong!"

"He's actually a Dou Zong expert? Wasn't he supposed to be a Dou Emperor?"

"Welcome Zen Master Fa Hai of Golden Mountain Temple to Green Mountain Town!" Ye Qiu rose to his feet and cupped his hands toward the sky as he shouted, a wicked smile at the corner of his lips.

Seeing Ye Qiu do this, everyone else shouted as well, "Welcome Zen Master Fa Hai to Green Mountain Town!" However, they did not rise and remained kneeling where they were.

"It's Fa Hai... The one who came to the Gama Empire is actually Fa Hai." At the highest point of the Xiao Family residence, Xiao Yan looked at the gradually fading golden light in the distance and listened to the waves of shouts drifting over. He murmured.

"Mm? What is it, Yan'er? Do you know Lord Fa Hai of the Huaxia Buddhist Sect?" Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Xiao Zhan turned and asked, his face full of confusion.

"Yes, Brother Xiao Yan is very familiar with the Huaxia Empire." Just as Xiao Yan was about to say it was nothing, Xiao Xun'er suddenly spoke from beside him.

"Xun'er, you..." Xiao Yan looked helplessly at the young girl sticking out her little tongue and making a face. This girl just wants me to stand out, but she doesn't know that I don't want to attract attention.

"Hmph, him? How could a piece of trash possibly know anything about the Huaxia Empire or Zen Master Fa Hai? Cousin Xun'er, don't let him fool you." Hearing Xun'er's words, a yellow-clothed youth beside them said disdainfully. He was Xiao Ning.

"You're the liar!" Hearing someone question Xiao Yan, Xiao Xun'er immediately snapped.

"Xun'er." Xiao Yan placed a hand on the young girl's shoulder, signaling for her not to speak. He did not want Xun'er to always stand up for him.

"Yan'er, do you really know something?" Although Xiao Yan was his most beloved youngest son, even Xiao Zhan himself found it difficult to believe. He had lived for so many years and had never heard of the Huaxia Empire or Zen Master Fa Hai. He had only learned half a month ago that there was an empire called Huaxia, and even then, it had been limited to the contents of Journey to the West.

"Father, your son does know a little. I heard that Zen Master Fa Hai is an enlightened monk from Golden Mountain Temple by the Qiantang River in the Huaxia Empire. His Dharma power—uh, his strength—is unfathomable. He hates evil as bitterly as an enemy and considers slaying demons and evil spirits his duty. However, he seems to hold prejudice against magical beasts. Once, there was a White Snake Magical Beast..."

Xiao Yan told everyone the story of New Legend of the White Snake, and they listened with great interest.

"Yan'er, y-you... how do you know these things?" After Xiao Yan finished speaking, Xiao Zhan asked with excitement, joy, and nervousness.

"Well, Father, it's because your son was a person of the Huaxia Empire in his previous life!" Xiao Yan said something shocking.

"What? A previous life? H-how could you be from the Huaxia Empire..." Everyone, including Xiao Xun'er, looked at Xiao Yan in confusion. Clearly, they did not know about past and present lives, reincarnation, and rebirth.

Helpless, Xiao Yan could only explain the Underworld and the Bridge of Helplessness. As for why he remembered matters from his previous life, Xiao Yan lied and claimed that, by a fortunate coincidence, he had not drunk Meng Po Soup.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, everyone was utterly shocked, especially Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Xun'er finally understood why Xiao Yan knew so much about the Huaxia Empire. Xiao Zhan, on the other hand, felt that his son had such an extraordinary origin, and his face shone with pride.

"Yan'er, since you were a person of the Huaxia Empire in your previous life and know so much about Zen Master Fa Hai, then you will be in charge of the trip to Green Mountain Town in a few days. If we can establish ties with the Buddhist Sect, then as your father, I can rest assured about your trip to Yun Lan Sect three years from now."

For once, no one objected to Xiao Zhan's words, not even the two Elders. They did not think Xiao Yan was lying. He had even described Zen Master Fa Hai's deeds. Could he really be lying? Wasn't he afraid Fa Hai would find out and wipe out the entire Xiao Family?

"Father..." Xiao Yan had not expected that Xiao Zhan would still be thinking of him at such a moment, and he was deeply moved.

Xiao Xun'er, meanwhile, had confirmed from Xiao Yan that the Huaxia Empire, one of the Four Ancient Kingdoms, truly existed. She knew Xiao Yan would not lie to her, and now that people from Huaxia had already appeared, it seemed she needed to send the news back to her clan immediately.

Why have these four kingdoms suddenly emerged?
