The Pillar of Western Heaven

Akshobhya Buddha was left dumbfounded by this "brilliant theory." Though it seemed somewhat extreme, it also appeared to make a little sense... especially given that Western Heaven was currently facing a catastrophe capable of wiping it out.

It shook its enormous dragon head, no longer dwelling on the matter, and followed his instructions to carefully scan the now-empty Merit Pool and the buildings beside it with its Divine Sense. The pool water had begun to grow unstable.

A moment later, Akshobhya Buddha suddenly uttered an "Eh?" Its massive dragon claw pointed toward an inconspicuous corner at the bottom of the pool. That spot seemed fused with the bedrock itself, and without a careful inspection, the anomaly would have been extremely difficult to detect.

"Fellow Daoist, beneath the rock layer at the bottom of the pool... there seem to be four Muni Light Pearls embedded there! They are Houtian Supreme Treasures accidentally condensed over countless years from the combination of the Great Dao Afterglow left behind when Buddha Ancestor Amitabha gave a Dao Lecture here and the Merit Vow Power within the pool!

"They contain a trace of the Pure Wisdom and Dinguang Power from Buddha Ancestor's Dao Lecture. They can calm the mind, shatter delusions, suppress Inner Demons, and possess endless wondrous uses! It seems that all of Western Heaven has accumulated only a handful of them, making them extraordinarily precious! They are usually hidden deep in the pool, nourished by the Merit Pool."

Muni Light Pearls?! Houtian Supreme Treasures?! Formed from the Dao Charm of Amitabha's Dao Lecture?!

Lin Zhu's heart gave an uncooperative, violent thump upon hearing that! Good stuff! These were absolutely treasures more precious and rarer than Spirit Source Agate! Whether he used them himself or gave them to his trusted subordinates, they would be supreme
