There wasn’t any incense guest around, just a young monk quietly sweeping the floor, wiping away the dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subtle sound of the broom brushing against the ground echoed inside the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a wind blew, gently stirring the scripture banners on either side. The young monk looked up in astonishment, glancing back at the tightly closed hall doors—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the doors were shut, where did the wind come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his bewilderment, he suddenly felt something, hugging a broom taller than himself, he turned his gaze toward the massive golden Buddha Statue enshrined in the center of the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sixteen-foot-tall Buddha Statue, crafted from pure gold, had at some point stepped down from its stone pedestal, standing upright, gazing down at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young monk fell to the ground, then scrambled up, staggered out of the temple door, screaming out in fear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ghost, ghost, ghost!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Buddha has become a spirit, the Buddha has become a spirit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the grand hall, the previously solemn and awe-inspiring pure gold sixteen-foot-tall Buddha Statue’s face turned dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What nonsense is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did his face turn dark, but in the distance, the old abbot, who was meditating, also grimaced, opened his eyes, and stepped forward:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What nonsense are you spouting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pure temple also suddenly fell into chaos, echoing with the cries of the young monk saying ’The Buddha has become a spirit.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, hurried footsteps sounded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of monks rushed into the grand hall, led by an old monk who grumpily grabbed the young monk,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking up, they saw the sixteen-foot Buddha Statue quietly standing there, a compassionate and serene expression watching the mortals entering the temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What demon dares to offend the Golden Body of the Buddha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old abbot holding the young monk was initially stunned, then enraged, unleashing a great lion’s roar of the Buddhist Sect, an intense golden light rose behind him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound waves capable of shattering a star cloud condensed into a line, striking straight at the pure gold six-foot Buddha Statue!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The great lion’s roar crashed against the golden Buddha Statue, merely shaking off some accumulated dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old abbot was stunned, then his expression changed, he stepped back, raised his large palm, poised in a pressing position, shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buddha Country!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Buddha Country emerged in his palm, though it enveloped and overturned, capable of annihilating half the universe,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yet it converged and condensed in a small space, the golden Buddha Statue did not dodge or evade, standing quietly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Buddha Country approached, it abruptly halted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Buddha Country in the old abbot’s palm, millions of Bhikkhus suddenly opened their

Statue raised its foot and stepped down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Dang!!!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if one million brass bells were struck simultaneously, a golden luster emerged from beneath the Buddha Statue’s foot, spreading instantly, enveloping the entire Shaolin and Song Mountain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Mountain turned to gold, Buddha sound echoed, Vajra protected, Arhat stood aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And nine rounds of great sun suspended behind the Buddha Statue, shining brightly, illuminating all things in the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monks, one by one, fell to their knees, only the abbot remained unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to achieve enlightenment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Buddha Statue lifted its eyelids, within its chaotic eyes, the gleam of interest emerged—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Devout Buddhist Disciple, even if not so devout, as long as reciting the Buddha, even if a Venerate, could be enlightened with a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since enlightenment failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old abbot before him was not truly an abbot—indeed, not even a monk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old abbot turned to flee,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a moment, he rushed into the starry sky, then in another moment, fled to an infinitely distant realm, from one end of the Star Sea to the other, to another universe’s border wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped, standing above the thin Star Sea at the universe’s border wilderness,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just he had let out a sigh of relief when he raised his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet again he saw the grand hall, monks prostrated, Vajra protected, Arhat stood aside, nine rounds of great sun revolving,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again he saw the golden Buddha Statue, standing inside the grand hall, the hall suspended in the universe’s border wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old abbot turned his head to flee again, only to hear Buddha sound in his ear, a word of [summon].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a momentary blur before him, he found himself already bowed before the Buddha Statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old abbot trembled, speaking with a dry voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Merciful Buddha, World-Honored One Buddha...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Buddha Statue gazed at him, within its eyes intertwined infinite cause and effect, suddenly an exceedingly bright and dazzling flame flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the Fire Eyes Golden Gaze, all illusions are discerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prostrated was not the old abbot, but—the weaver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More precisely, it was a body transformed by the one who encroached upon the weaver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng silently smiled, as if not comprehending or realizing, simply spoke solemnly, questioning:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What divine corpse is buried beneath Shaolin Mountain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old abbot dared not even breathe, tremblingly speaking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is a severed corpse—only a head...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng raised his brow, a severed head?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard the old abbot, still bowed, continued chanting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The head has spanned countless years, but when worshiping, an eminent name and divine title can be seen and known.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Declared as—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taiyi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the name was uttered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The face of the sixteen-foot golden Buddha finally showed some ripples, astonished and dazed, in its eyes cause and effect trembled madly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it shockingly witnessed a scene of illusion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng focused and looked, it was an ancient primal divine spirit, standing in a vast void of all things void, nothing existed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Embracing and birthing water, birthing water and the sky opened, the sky opened and the earth formed, the earth formed and all things emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The illusion only lasted a brief moment, Zhang Fusheng was awakened from it in astonishment, upon opening his eyes, he was back in the grand hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taiyi, East Emperor Taiyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the terrifying illusion seen from the cause and effect surge previously, all indicated one thing—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This East Emperor Taiyi was not the version of the demon lord from past life’s novel stories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the version depicted in the myths of Chu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one of the ancient supreme gods, the god who opened heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is a creator god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>East Emperor opened the sky, Taiyi birthed water, and then the world was able to be carved out from the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng’s heart quivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water of this lower universe...could it be a bit
