Many had come to watch.

The Tenth Heavenly Vault was not somewhere one could enter at will. With such a rare opportunity before them, many were unwilling to miss it.

Mount Meru Heaven stood before the Chaos World, his palms pressed together, a Buddhist halo shining behind him. Countless people cried out in amazement and rushed to kneel in worship, filled with reverence and admiration for him.
"Amitabha. Please rise, benefactors." Mount Meru Heaven moved his prayer beads, his bearing solemn and majestic, and lifted everyone to their feet.
"To think we would be fortunate enough to meet the legendary Holy Lord of Xumi!" Countless beings were overcome with excitement.
The Xumi Sacred Cult enshrined a colossal Buddha statue of Mount Meru Heaven. He could be called the best-known heaven grade being.
