Purple Mansion
Dao of Qi Ingestion.
Wondrous Goodness City.
Fang Yu stood atop the sand dune of the ' Thousand Blessings Pure Land,' looking down at the newly added skeletons below.
In just one year, the bones below piled up again, but now, seven souls remained.
"It seems that this Debauched Sarira truly possesses the power to deliver the souls of the dead."
Fang Yu murmured, and the Yuanchen Pearl spun around, transforming his aura into the Dao Foundation ' Phoenix Sets the Plains Ablaze '.
That the Unseen Heavenly Dao connection then surfaced, pointing towards Wondrous Goodness City.
In recent days, he has searched the area around Wondrous Goodness City several times, and at the same time tried to get away from Wondrous Goodness City. As a result, he sensed that his fortuitous opportunity was fading away.
Therefore, it can be concluded that his fortuitous opportunity still lies in Wondrous Goodness City.
A moment later, he returned to Wondrous Goodness City, walked aimlessly on the dirt road for a while, and then suddenly looked at the many flower petals scattered on the road ahead.
How could so many petals be scattered here, and why do they carry a trace of spiritual essence, making them still vibrant and fresh even under the scorching sun, as if they had just been picked?
Fang Yu walked along the path where the petals had fallen, and soon found that there were more and more people on the path.
"Let's go, let's go! Today is almost time for the heavenly maidens to give alms!"
"If only I could also discuss the Dao with the celestial maiden!"
"..."
Fang Yu's ears twitched slightly.
'Celestial Maiden'
In Buddhist Dao, a woman who can be called a celestial maiden must be a female cultivator at the ' Dao Foundation ' stage. And since there is only one ' Sweet Dew Monastery ' in this city, this celestial maiden must have come from Sweet Dew Monastery.
I have already searched the Wondrous Goodness City, except for Sweet Dew Monastery, which I have never entered. However, just getting close to that place can cause a violent reaction in the ' Yuanchen Pearl ', so there must be great terror and great karma involved.
Now, celestial maidens have appeared inside Sweet Dew Monastery, and it sounds like they are still making offerings. This is a good opportunity to learn more about Sweet Dew Monastery.
Fang Yu pondered for a moment before joining the crowd. After walking for a while, he saw a high platform ahead, resembling a golden platform, shining brightly under the sun. In the center of that golden platform was a golden lotus platform with seven petals, emitting auspicious light.
The area around the stage was piled with treasures such as agate, gemstones, pearls, and jade. Meanwhile, the residents gathered around were taking out gold, silver, and precious stones and piling them on top of the stage, chanting, "Namo Medicine Tree Lapis Lazuli Bodhisattva, please protect us."
Fang Yu stopped in his tracks, his vigilance rising. In Buddhist Dao, someone called a Bodhisattva must be a ' Golden Core True Lord,' and not just any ordinary ' Golden Core True Lord,' but someone with immeasurable Divine Ability.
This must be the Bodhisattva's sacred site.
As time passed, the crowd grew larger and larger, and after an unknown amount of time, petals began to fall from the sky.
"The Wondrous Goodness Heavenly Maiden has arrived!"
"Greetings, Wondrous Goodness Heavenly Maiden!"
May the heavenly maiden protect you!
"..."
The surrounding crowd erupted in cheers. Some shouted, some clasped their hands together, and some even knelt down with a thud, prostrating themselves on the ground.
Fang Yu followed the crowd's gaze to the sky and saw a celestial maiden dressed in flying attire descending towards the lotus platform amidst a shower of petals.
' Wondrous Goodness Heavenly Maiden!'
Fang Yu blinked sharply, looking at the pitifully thin clothing on the other person's body. Naturally, images of their intimate moments flashed through his mind, and his Qi and Blood and qi surged.
When the Wondrous Goodness Heavenly Maiden landed on the lotus platform, Fang Yu couldn't help but swallow hard.
'This Wondrous Goodness Heavenly Maiden is even more beautiful than the flying apsaras in the ' Debauched Sarira ' illusion. If I could be intimate with her, I would gladly advance to the Purple Mansion right now!'
At that moment, the Wondrous Goodness Heavenly Maiden formed the Treasure Vase Mudra with her hands, and the fragrance of flowers in the sky transformed into the aroma of medicine, making people feel refreshed, comfortable, and free from all illnesses.
"Ah... my chest doesn't hurt anymore!"
My eyes are healed!
"May the heavenly maiden protect us! May the heavenly maiden protect us!"
"I..."
Amidst the cries of surprise and delight, Fang Yu suddenly snapped back to reality, held his breath, and ignited a fire within his heart, burning away the medicinal power that had entered his body.
Regardless of whether the medicinal fragrance has any benefits, it is a wondrous manifestation of the Dao Foundation goddess, and consuming it would certainly be harmful rather than beneficial to him.
"Namo Medicine Tree Lapis Lazuli Bodhisattva!"
The Wondrous Goodness Heavenly Maiden recited a title, her gaze sweeping over the many believers.
"The supreme, profound, and subtle Dharma is rarely encountered even in hundreds of millions of kalpas. Now that I have seen, heard, and received it, I vow to understand the true meaning of the Tathagata... May worldly afflictions vanish instantly, may afflictions be severed, may the sun of wisdom shine brightly, may karmic obstacles be emptied, may all who see, hear, and rejoice be liberated, and together ascend the path of enlightenment to realize true permanence..."
As the Wondrous Goodness Heavenly Maiden recited her opening verse, the venue was filled with a shower of flowers and the fragrance of medicine grew stronger. A golden light, like lapis lazuli, emanated from Wondrous Goodness, forming a circle of golden flames that slowly burned along with her voice.
"Um!"
Just as the crystal-like flames ignited, Fang Yu sensed a connection between them and his own ' Phoenix Sets the Plains Ablaze ' Dao Foundation.
' The Wondrous Goodness Heavenly Maiden and I are destined to be together!'
Fang Yu looked into the eyes of the Wondrous Goodness Heavenly Maiden, where flames were reflected—both the flames of the crystal palace and the fire of his own heart.
Then, the voice of the Wondrous Goodness Heavenly Maiden became clearer and clearer.
"Good friends, today's auspicious occasion allows us to expound the profound meaning of 'ten thousand lights'... Just as a single lamp, burning its own oil, illuminates a dark room, so too, ten thousand lights burning together illuminate mountains and rivers, turning eternal night into day... Once, a poor woman lit a lamp to offer to the Buddha; its wick was as small as a mustard seed, yet its light shone upon the royal city. The small wishes of ten thousand families ultimately became a sacred fire that spread like wildfire..."
Fang Yu's inner fire surged, and Dao Attainment already perfected ' Phoenix Sets the Plains Ablaze ' Dao Foundation rose. Boundless inner fire gathered in a mysterious place in front of his chest, and then sensed the Great Void, tearing a crack in the Great Void.
'Is this the Purple Mansion chapter of the "Starfire Heart-Burning Instruction"? No, it's just a different understanding of the "Fire of Ten Thousand Households" of Mortal World Spiritual Qi.'
Fang Yu's mind raced, he combined what he had just heard with the Heavenly Dao infusion he had received from the tribulation of lightning, and naturally understood how to elevate his Dao Foundation and open up his Purple Mansion.
"... Long ago, there was a Phoenix Venerable who cultivated himself, but seeing countless starving corpses, he did not help them, and his spiritual fire almost went out. Later, he entered the mortal world to repay the karmic debts of all living beings, and only then did he witness the true flame of Nirvana..."
[The Great Void rift expanded, and primordial energy surged into the ' Phoenix Sets the Plains Ablaze ' Dao Foundation, causing it to continuously expand like an egg.]
The voice of the Wondrous Goodness Heavenly Maiden continued to appear:
"... The farmer tills the soil with his hoe, the craftsman wields his tools, the scholar holds his inkstone... every thought of striving for excellence becomes a prairie fire..."
When thousands of lights shine together, we realize that light influences light, without distinction of master or servant...
The phoenix Non-Self body, the prairie fire Non-Self achievement, the lamplight is all living beings, the light is all living beings, and even nirvana is all living beings...
[In an instant, the inner fire spread, transforming into countless sparks, each reflecting a figure: a farmer tilling the land, a blacksmith forging farm tools, a minor official in the government office, or a soldier on the battlefield...]
[The primordial energy surged and mingled with countless sparks, transforming into 'earth, water, fire, and wind,' like the creation of the world. Earth and water descended to become streams on the earth, while fire and wind rose, expanding the egg and transforming it into the sky...]
"One lamp in the heart shines brightly for ten thousand others; the sea of wishes of all beings is the sacred mountain; the Phoenix Cry is not for seeking solitary transcendence; red lotuses bloom amidst the flames, filling the world with beauty."
May this merit extend to all ten directions.
The raging flames of Daoism transform into sweet dew, and the Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli appears before us.
[As Wondrous Goodness's voice faded, ancient seal characters appeared in Fang Yu's eyes, transforming into a treatise from the Purple Mansion Treasury—the "Treatise on the Bright Flame of Great Nirvana."]
[At the same time, the egg formed from the Dao Foundation of ' Phoenix Sets the Plains Ablaze ' shattered, transforming into the Purple Mansion, or perhaps the ' Nirvana Pure Land '.]
"I've succeeded, Daoist Master!"
Fang Yu said something and looked up at the Wondrous Goodness Heavenly Maiden. At the same time, she seemed to sense his gaze and looked at him as well. Their eyes met.
The Wondrous Goodness Heavenly Maiden leaped down from the sky and landed directly in Fang Yu's arms, wrapping her arms around his neck and saying, "My destined one, I have been waiting for you for so long!"
Fang Yu naturally put his arm around Wondrous Goodness Heavenly Maiden's waist and said with a smile, "I've been looking for you for a long time too!"
The next moment, Fang Yu took a step, broke through the Great Void, and disappeared without a trace.
