Three days later, on the Aolai Continent the East Sea.

Since the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying cleaved through the sky three days ago, sweeping away all evil, the Yin World Nether Spring has gradually returned to peace.

Everyone realized that the calamity had ended with the drawing of the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying.

When the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying returned from the Netherworld, almost all the participants fell silent, ending this meaningless war. As for those Dao Proving One who had been slain by the "Sword of Subduing Devils and Suppressing Demons"?

Even before the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying were drawn, they had already hidden themselves away without a sound, not daring to reveal their identities.

On the one hand, these incarnations, having lost their connection with the original entity, each have their own agendas.

On the other hand, it is also because these incarnations themselves possess immense value.

Despite having severed their causal ties, they possess a depth of knowledge and understanding that belies their actual power.

Once captured by the powerful figures of this era, at best their identity and secrets will be exposed, and at worst, they may not even be able to protect their chance to attain Dao Proving. Even so, many Dao Proving One are still discovered, besieged, and hunted down.

However, this situation is an exception near the Aolai Continent.

Because this place is adjacent to the Crystal Palace, it is the habitat and breeding ground of the East Sea Dragon Race, and is protected by many powerful Dragon Race.

Most importantly, Divine Lord Meng Zhang would also stay here from time to time, and he would not tolerate any outsiders acting recklessly.

Therefore, some Dao Proving One would secretly infiltrate the vicinity of the Aolai Continent and completely integrate into this era.

"The ancestral vein of the ten continents, the source of the three islands."

"This Aolai Continent truly lives up to its reputation. If it were located in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, you wouldn't see such a prosperous natural landscape."

Sitting atop the unique steel aircraft carrier built by the Mountain Folk, Li Xi gazed down at the extraordinary scenery of the surrounding islands and towering mountains, and sighed, "Master, you're mistaken about that."

"There are many natural wonders like Aolai Continent in this world."

"On the contrary, the man-made wonders of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, created entirely by intelligent beings, are truly unique and unparalleled," a handsome boy sitting very properly next to Li Xi retorted.

The boy looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, but his face showed a maturity beyond his years.

He was wearing a simple long robe and a pair of simple straw sandals covered in mud.

His appearance was that of a monk who was neither quite Daoist nor quite Buddhist.

A rosary around the neck, a Bagua (eight trigrams) pendant at the waist...

His brows held both an ethereal grace and an undeniable compassion.

"Subhūti, stop with the nonsense and just tell me where we're headed!"

Having revealed the boy's identity in a single sentence, Li Xi asked directly.

As Li Boyang's younger sister, the vice president of Hundred Lands University, the builder of the Mystic Garden Barrier, the innate possessor of Knowledge of Past Lives, and a great Divine Ability being who Seventy Transformations in One Day.

Li Xi didn't come to the Aolai Continent to relax; she came to deal with the aftereffects of the great battle three days ago. "Not far, not far, it's almost here."

Seeing this, Subhūti hurriedly waved his hand and then pointed to an island not far away.

"That's our destination for this trip— Flower-Fruit Mountain."

Such major events as interfering with the reincarnation of Buddha Ancestor.

It's impossible that only Mahākāśyapa, Ananda, and Maudgalyayana were involved.

Almost all of Buddha Ancestor's ten disciples participated, but for various reasons, they were unable to get involved in this major event in time.

However, the undercurrents within it have never subsided and continue to this day.

Subhūti, who was known as the "foremost in understanding emptiness" among the ten disciples, was both fortunate and unfortunate.

Fortunately, he did indeed arrive in this era, and his birth even predates that of Maudgalyayana.

Unfortunately, he came to the wrong place; he was born in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and was captured by Li Xi before his past wisdom could awaken. Thus, he became the main dialogue partner in the later Diamond Sutra.

Subhūti, who had the most comprehensive understanding of "emptiness," unexpectedly became a disciple of the Dao Ancestor.

In the Buddhist system, "emptiness" is almost synonymous with "void," and is a permanent attribute of the "Great Way."

Nothing has an eternal and unchanging nature; change is the norm.

All things arise from the coming together of causes and conditions, and perish when those causes and conditions cease.

Not being attached to fame and fortune, life and death, ego, good and evil, one will also not be bound by anything.

There is no self, no law, no sentient beings; all four elements are empty.

These viewpoints alone show that Subhūti may not have been the most Law Power, the most Divine Ability, or the most insightful among the ten disciples, but he certainly had the deepest understanding of the "Great Dao."

Therefore, despite being born into a Buddhist family, Subhūti made rapid progress in his spiritual practice, with almost no barriers to entry.

When Subhūti awakened to his wisdom from past lives and realized what was happening in the East Sea, he showed almost no expression except for a bitter smile. Unlike Mahākāśyapa, Subhūti was not attached.

Since the plan to interfere with the reincarnation of Buddha Ancestor failed, there is a way to live even if the plan fails.

"Only by transcending Buddha and Tao, and by transcending self and others, can one attain true liberation."

"That's easy to say, but it's not so simple to do."

After a deep sigh, Subhūti found Li Xi, who had adopted him, and confessed everything he knew. "My senior brothers have left behind a lot of trouble; I have to clean up their mess."

"Otherwise, it will definitely cause even more trouble in the future."

Faced with Subhūti's words, Li Xi pondered briefly before deciding to pack his bags and go with him to clean up the mess. Regardless of who Subhūti was in his previous life, he was his disciple in this one.

Li Xi had followed Li Boyang for so long and was a natural possessor of the [Knowledge of Past Lives].

He may have seen through everything else, but he is exactly the same as Li Boyang when it comes to protecting his own.

Moreover, since Li Xi began his coming-of-age ceremony, he has been traveling between various countries, using his own strength to help them overcome various calamities. So even if Subhūti did not propose "cleaning up the mess," Li Xi would have noticed those problems sooner or later and then solved them in a matter of course.

It's just that the timing has been brought forward a little; the overall development trend hasn't changed much.

Don't play riddles with me about time and place.

"You know I can tell if you're hiding any crucial information from me."

With a mixture of surprise and not-so-surprise, Subhūti ultimately did not refuse Li Xi.

The first place is Aolai Continent.

"That's where my senior brother Ananda died, and it's also the easiest place for us to go now."

"After we resolve the issues there, we might have to make a trip to the Underworld to visit my fellow disciple Maudgalyayana, who is serving his sentence in Hell." Subhūti paused noticeably at this point.

"As for Brother Mahākāśyapa?"

"He defied cause and effect, and was then slain by the Dao Ancestor's sword..."

"To resolve the trouble he left behind, we'll probably have to make a trip to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss of Bliss in the Heavenly Realm."

Upon hearing this, Li Xi merely glared at Subhūti, then rented a steel aircraft carrier capable of sailing to the East Sea through the Star God Network. "You really know how to cause me trouble, wanting to travel all over the Three Realms!"
