"Let's go..."
Buddha Emperor Lan Tuo swept his sleeve, pulled He Pingsheng up, and instantly unleashed the Divine Ability Spirit Roaming Taixu.
In less than half an incense stick's time, he brought him to a star cluster.
Naturally, at the heart of this star cluster was also a vast Immortal Enclosure, named the [Lantuo Buddhist Kingdom].
Indeed, among those of the Buddhist Path, Immortal Enclosures were called Buddhist kingdoms.
