Chapter 94

The old, weak, women, and children stayed behind to clean up the aftermath, piling the bandits' heads in the distance to form a *jingguan* to deter other bandits preparing to invade.

The young men rode the Dragon Scale Horses and killed their way toward the bandits' lair. Along the way, they passed through some small oases, took out Chen the Bearded's head, and told the people on this land that the horse bandits had been wiped out, that this land would be peaceful in the future, and that this land would be ruled by the Profound Heaven Immortal Gate.

The leaders and patriarchs of the oases cautiously asked Zhang Zhiwei how much Source they would have to pay in the future to obtain protection.

Zhang Zhiwei told Lin Xian that in the past, the Qingxia Gate only collected ten catties of Source a year, which was less than one catty per month, and could be considered a protector.

But ever since Chen the Bearded came, everything changed. The Qingxia Gate no longer cleared out the bandits, and even if they took action, it was just a formality. And the tribes and groups on the oases had to pay Chen the Bearded four or five catties of Source every month, which was a heavy tax, and they were miserable.

"The Profound Heaven Sect wants long-term peace and stability on this land, and will not engage in sustainable fishing by draining the pond."

Lin Xian waved his hand and made a pact with the living beings on this land: "Exempt all the exorbitant taxes of the Qingxia Gate and Chen the Bearded. From today on, all oases only need to pay ten catties of Source a year."

"In addition, every oasis needs to build a temple in exchange for protection."

"Build a temple?" Everyone was stunned, including Ye Fan, who asked in confusion: "What is the significance of this?"

"The Northern Region is poor and barren, a land of red earth, rich in Source stones, which is the root of suffering and the only way to survive. Living beings kill each other because of this; this is not a way for long-term peace and stability."

"To change this situation, we need to use the power of faith."

Lin Xian gave an example and said slowly: "The Western Desert was once a wasteland, incredibly desolate. Later, Emperor Amitabha settled there, changing the environment and turning it into a pure land suitable for living beings."

"This is an example that has already been realized, and we can repeat it."

"Emperor Amitabha?" Others recited the Buddha's true name, but Ye Fan's eyes showed an incredible look. There was a familiar name, one that was famous even on the other side of the starry sky.

From this world, go west, and beyond the ten trillion Buddha lands lies the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!

"So the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is on the Big Dipper..." Ye Fan muttered, having an indescribable emotion, as if he were in a myth, walking into a legend.

"Buddhism has the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and we will also build an Eastern Glazed World, establish temples, and worship the Profound Heaven Ancestor." Lin Xian said softly, leisurely: "May the living beings of this pure land have bodies like glaze, clear inside and out, pure and flawless, bright and vast."

A great vow, and also a technique of drawing a big pie. Lin Xian had already practiced it to perfection, fooling the living beings living on this barren land of the Northern Region to yearn for it.

If they could live a prosperous and stable life, who would be willing to kill for a Source stone? In this world, cultivators are the minority, and mortals are the majority.

It's just that mortals are too weak and are often dominated by a few cultivators, daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

However, ordinary people are not without the power to settle karma, and the power of faith is the greatest proof.

If it can be used well and led by the strongest, it can nurture a pure land and create all living beings; at the lowest, it can settle accounts with the dark supreme beings, and even have a certain help for the creation of the method of feathering and ascending to immortality and longevity.

The power of faith is not humble. Those who are proficient in faith do not have low combat power; on the contrary, they far exceed their peers. Emperor Amitabha is the best proof.

The reincarnation of the demon fetus, the present Buddha Shakyamuni, entered the Immortal Realm, and the divine thought of the future Buddha, Huahua, also followed Ye Fan to become an immortal.

Buddhism emphasizes nirvana, proving the Dao in the present and becoming a Buddha in the future. It really came true. Two-thirds of Emperor Amitabha attained the Dao and ascended to immortality, and the remaining one-third, as the past Buddha Amitabha, forever resides in the human world, circulating in reincarnation, living in the past, and living in the hearts of all living beings.

If you never forget, there will be an echo. This is a path that leads directly to the Immortal Emperor.

A ten-thousand-foot building rises from the ground. Lin Xian is making various preparations for the future.

"May I ask what the Profound Heaven Ancestor looks like? Is there a portrait?"

The leaders and patriarchs of the oases all agreed to build temples. Compared to the solid Source, they didn't take this ethereal thing to heart.

Ye Fan looked at these Northern Region natives with pity. They were still too ignorant and didn't understand the power of theocracy.

Once the Profound Heaven Temple is established and rooted in the hearts of all living beings, no one can erase it. How many times has Buddhism been destroyed on the other side of the starry sky, yet it has never been destroyed.

It is not that Buddhism's vitality is so strong, but that the living beings living in despair need a faith as a sustenance to prevent that string from completely breaking.

Whether it is faith or anesthesia, worshiping illusory things is to live in the present. It is a spiritual sustenance, different from material things.

"Profound Heaven Ancestor?"

"The source of the Holy Land is a Profound Heaven Quasi-Emperor, or perhaps a Profound Heaven Great Emperor."

Lin Xian thought for a moment, laughed, and said: "Our Profound Heaven Sect has too many ancestors. You must listen carefully, and you must worship them one by one."

"In the temples and ancestral halls, you must worship Emperor Profound Heaven, Emperor Wanqing, Emperor Wushi, Emperor Void, Emperor Hengyu, Emperor Ruthless, the nine generations of invincible Sacred Bodies, the Taiyin Human Emperor, the Sun Holy Emperor, the Fighting Holy Emperor..."

Everyone was stunned. There were too many Profound Heaven ancestors, and they were all bunched together.

Ye Fan also felt more and more wrong as he listened. Worshiping Emperor Profound Heaven was normal; Emperor Wanqing was a relative; the nine generations of Great Accomplishment Sacred Bodies and Emperor Wushi were of the Sacred Body lineage; Void and Hengyu were the ancestors of Yan and Huang; Taiyin and Sun were the sages of the human race. These were all understandable.

What the hell is worshiping Emperor Ruthless? Because of the Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art!

And the Fighting Holy Emperor, this is no longer a human Great Emperor!

"Worshiping the Ruthless One is indeed not very good. Let's worship the Southern Ridge Heavenly Emperor; his achievement was leveling the Heaven-Severing Mountain Range. As for the Fighting Holy Emperor..." Lin Xian chuckled and said meaningfully: "This is for moral kidnapping."

"Moral kidnapping?" Ye Fan was stunned. What kind of thing is this?

Lin Xian smiled without saying a word. The Fighting Holy Emperor passed away, implicating the Northern Plains and the Northern Region. The father's debt is paid by the son.

With the personality of the Fighting Holy Ape lineage, if the Holy Prince sees his father's temple worshiped on this land and then learns about the past, will he not take action when the Profound Heaven Sect is in trouble in the future?

The Holy Prince has already taken action, so is the Fighting Victorious Buddha far behind? The Fighting Victorious Buddha has already taken action, so is Mount Sumeru far behind?

"Add Emperor Amitabha and the Bright Emperor as well. Actually, I have long been their shallow believer, that unvirtuous Heavenly Venerable." Lin Xian coughed and said leisurely: "And the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. We live on the Big Dipper, so we have to pay rent."

"By the way, the Chaos Body Wang... forget it, this is too hellish."

"Emperor Fuxi, Emperor Nuwa, Western Queen Mother, Emperor Jiuli, Emperor Shenzhou... these are real ancestors, add them, all must be added."

Ye Fan gasped as he listened. This is no longer an ancestral hall, let alone a shrine; this is the Temple of Ten Thousand Emperors!
