The Six Desire Heavens are the Buddha Land of Amitabha Buddha.

After Li Boyang seized control of the Buddhist kingdom using the "Supreme True Words and Edicts".

The Buddhas fell silent, and even the Vidyarajas lowered their heads.

The remaining Bodhisattva, Arhats, Bhikkhus, and Heavenly Princesses were also very obedient and dared not look directly at Li Boyang.

Even though they were in this Buddhist kingdom, they had all heard of the name of the Dao Ancestor.

"Even the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is nothing more than this."

Without a sound, Li Boyang appeared in front of the man.

As the reincarnation of Amitabha Buddha, the man was naturally aware of the changes in the world.

The mantra from Amitabha Buddha has been forcibly eliminated and disintegrated, and this world has been completely transformed into a Buddha-land without a master.

Or to be more precise, the temporary master of this Buddhist kingdom is Li Boyang.

Once he leaves this Buddhist kingdom, a new master will be born from among the current Buddhas and Vidyarajas.

From this perspective, Li Boyang can be said to have completely destroyed the last remaining power left by Amitabha Buddha.

"How is this possible?"

The man instinctively gaped open and murmured in disbelief.

For the man who had already inherited some of Amitabha Buddha's memories, Li Boyang's actions were utterly shattering his worldview. This Buddhist kingdom was called "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."

The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss was created by Amitabha Buddha after enduring countless hardships and making forty-eight great vows.

At that time, Amitabha Buddha had not yet attained Buddhahood; he was merely a minor monk named "Dharmakara".

In order to find the paradise of their dreams.

The confused Dharmakara practiced diligently in the realms of the Buddhas, undergoing Great Kalpa of cultivation, until finally he created this Buddha-land in the form of Buddha. His forty-eight great vows each differed, but their core principle was the "Vow of Guidance."

In Amitabha Buddha's original vision, all beings experience suffering and hardship in life, and should enjoy pure bliss after death. Therefore, as long as sentient beings sincerely recite his name before their death, they can receive his guidance and come to this boundless world of bliss, thus completely escaping the sea of suffering in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Let's set aside whether this idea is correct or not.

In terms of the outcome alone, this Buddhist kingdom can be seen as a concrete manifestation of Amitabha Buddha's teachings.

The reason the man was ultimately guided to this Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss by the Buddhas was because, in a moment of crisis, he remembered the name of Amitabha Buddha and unconsciously recited it.

However, the forty-eight great vows that constituted the Buddhist kingdom were forcibly eliminated and dismantled by Li Boyang.

Amitabha Buddha's "Vow of Guidance" naturally disappeared from this point on.

From now on, no matter who recites the name of Amitabha Buddha, they will no longer be able to be guided to this Pure Land of Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

For some reason, the collapse of these forty-eight grand vows was clearly a good thing for the man.

But when he finally understood this, a sense of melancholy inexplicably arose in his heart.

Amitabha Buddha's great vow came from the bottom of his heart, and Chi himself had no selfish motives.

Otherwise, given Amitabha Buddha's status and abilities, no one could force Chi to enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Even in bringing the man to this Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, Amitabha Buddha only wanted him to complete the unfinished "Dao of Guidance" on his behalf. Amitabha Buddha is indeed selfless, but this selflessness is not necessarily a good thing.

As if he had read the man's mind, Li Boyang spoke in this way.

Let's not discuss whether it's appropriate for Chi to guide others to this "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss".

"You've stayed in this ' Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss ' for so long now, do you really think this ' Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss ' is truly blissful?"

With just a simple question, Li Boyang silenced the man.

After all, if this Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss were truly pure and blissful, he wouldn't have continued to resist until now.

"Amitabha Buddha has never experienced the myriad aspects of human life; he merely relies on fragments of memories from all living beings. Therefore, the ' Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss ' he created is naturally a castle in the air."

After a slight pause, Li Boyang continued.

"On the contrary, you've experienced a complete life that even Amitabha Buddha never did..."

"If you ask me, you are more qualified than Amitabha Buddha to create a true Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."

Even if that Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss belongs to you alone, it won't be like this Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss —just a flower in the water, a moon in the mirror, seemingly magnificent but actually illusory.

A bitter smile forced across the man's lips, and he let out a deep sigh.

"You're right, this ' Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss ' is nothing but Amitabha Buddha's fantasy."

Chi believed that being free from hunger, illness, and death was ultimate bliss, and that the Pure Land was where one's desires were always fulfilled.

But things in this world are never that simple.

"I remember you once said, 'When people are well-fed and warm, they think of lust; when they are hungry and cold, they think of stealing.'"

"Whether hungry or not, sick or not, as long as human nature exists, there will never be enough."

At this point, the man suddenly looked around and smiled at the Buddhas Bodhisattva.

"Look, take these lofty incarnations of mindfulness, for example."

"From the moment they develop consciousness and possess hearts, they are no longer pure."

"For their own convictions and visions, the Chis are capable of anything."

"In this respect, apart from their ultimate goals, the Chi Men are actually no different from the Eight Legions Kings of the outside world." Slightly narrowing his eyes, Li Boyang stared at the man in front of him for a while before suddenly asking curiously.

"It seems you intend to inherit Amitabha Buddha's 'Tao'?"

Faced with Li Boyang's question, the man was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on.

"Inheriting Amitabha Buddha's 'Path'?"

To be honest, even the man himself didn't know what state he was in.

He had only expressed his feelings spontaneously, without having any concrete thoughts deep down.

It wasn't until Li Boyang's words awakened the man that he realized he seemed to have unknowingly come to understand his past life. He looked at these Buddhas who, despite possessing immense power, appeared exceptionally ignorant in some ways.

If it were possible, wouldn't I be willing to change the future of the Chi family?

Amitabha Buddha has his Amitabha Buddha "Dao of Guidance," and you too can have your own "Dao of Guidance."

"I don't know how far you'll ultimately go..."

"But I can tell you this: if you're not prepared for this, it's best to give up as soon as possible; that's the right choice."

The man did not doubt Li Boyang's story; he simply remained silent as was his habit.

This is the character shaped by the man's past life experiences, and it is also the root cause of his eventual descent into this situation.

In a daze, the man seemed to recall the days before he began his cultivation.

Back then... who guided me onto the path of spiritual cultivation?
