Chapter 628: Chapter 628

Because the previous room was destroyed, Mu Zhian had no choice but to meditate in Bodhisattva Miao Yi’s meditation room, quietly waiting for Wei Mengrou to finish her bath.

At this moment, he sat on a meditation cushion with his eyes closed, seemingly in a deep meditative state.

But in reality, the subtle atmosphere in the meditation room made him feel the need to temporarily withdraw.

Silence filled the room.

Yao Meng sat on the windowsill of the meditation room, gazing at the meditating young man, then her gaze casually shifted to the female Bodhisattva, whose aura was somewhat similar to her own.

Bodhisattva Miao Yi also had her eyes closed, chanting a sutra.

“The Western Regions’ original plan was to trade him with the Forbidden Lands for national fortune, right? I’m quite curious, what did he say to you, to the Western Regions, to make you change your mind?”

Just then, a soft, heavenly voice sounded, a crisp, silver-bell-like tone paired with cool eyes, enough to make anyone who saw her feel a sense of awe and admiration.

“Was it because of the Innate Celestial Furnace?” Yao Meng asked again softly.

The beautiful fairy’s figure was reflected in her cold eyes, and she said calmly, “The Buddhist Dharma of the Western Regions doesn’t allow any contact with the Innate Celestial Furnace. The path I walk is the path of saving all beings.”

A playful smile appeared on Yao Meng’s face.

“It seems Fairy Yao Meng doesn’t believe what I said,” Bodhisattva Miao Yi said.

“Do you know what the Dao of the Jade Pool Holy Land was in the past?” Yao Meng asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

“Purifying the heart,” Bodhisattva Miao Yi said indifferently. “After cultivating the Jade Pool Holy Land’s Dao of Purifying the Heart, every word spoken contains an immortal charm, naturally making people feel goodwill. I believe your later marriage with Young Master Mu, and even his falling for you, is also inseparable from the Dao of Purifying the Heart.”

“I never used the Jade Pool’s Dao to seduce him,” Yao Meng said with a faint smile.

“Even if you didn’t intentionally seduce him, your beauty and the effects of the Dao of Purifying the Heart would more or less affect his emotions, making him inevitably fall for you,” Bodhisattva Miao Yi said calmly.

“Perhaps,” Yao Meng said with a half-smile. “Then have you ever considered that the Dao of Purifying the Heart requires the cultivator to maintain their original heart, to be detached from emotions, yet why am I still with him?”

Bodhisattva Miao Yi raised a delicate eyebrow and said faintly, “You have no feelings for him, so it naturally won’t affect your Dao.”

“Don’t you think your words are strange, Bodhisattva?”

Yao Meng chuckled softly, toying with a strand of hair, gazing at the meditating young man, “If I had no feelings for him, why would I stay by his side after transcending?”

“And also, you’ve said so much, even with a disdainful look, is it not just because you think I approached him for the Innate Celestial Furnace?”

Her tone was arrogant, frivolous, and even held a hint of seduction.

The female Bodhisattva didn’t speak, just quietly watched the breathtakingly beautiful figure sitting by the windowsill.

“Have you ever considered that your disdain for me isn’t because you truly disdain me, but because you’re jealous of our relationship, and that I can dual cultivate with him anytime?”

Yao Meng paused, “Also, the so-called purifying the heart doesn’t mean truly being detached from emotions. The Dao I cultivate in the Jade Pool Holy Land is different from your Western Regions.”

Although she now enjoyed playing various little games with Mu Zhian, and even had many little props in her little black room, Yao Meng always maintained her Dao of Purifying the Heart.

“Ultimately, it’s probably the same as those wine-and-meat monks in your Western Regions,” she continued casually.

Bodhisattva Miao Yi remained calm, “The path I walk is destined not to covet the Innate Celestial Furnace, so how could there be jealousy?”

Yao Meng said with a half-smile, “When I broke through the shackles of heaven and earth, I didn’t even expend much effort. The Transcendence Heavenly Tribulation was just a little troublesome.”

“And all of this was thanks to the Innate Celestial Furnace.”

She looked at the female Bodhisattva playfully, “Are you really not jealous?”

The fairy fell silent, her beautiful green eyes, as she looked at the female Bodhisattva, filled with a playful smile.

It had to be said, Mu Zhian’s taste was truly quite good.

Although this female Bodhisattva’s attire wasn’t revealing at all, her white robes perfectly enveloped her body, only revealing a pair of jade-white feet beneath her skirt. Her three thousand strands of black hair cascaded down to her ankles, and the golden halo behind her added a touch of holiness.

Although she didn’t seem revealing, she had a certain allure that made one’s heart itch with just a few glances, as if one could see several different kinds of beauty in her.

This was somewhat similar to that woman, Shang Yanfei. Everyone saw a different Shang Yanfei, because that Sect Master would appear in the form of the type of person people liked most.

The so-called ‘face of all beings’.

And the female Bodhisattva seemed to have a similar Buddhist Dharma, just not as many ‘faces of all beings’ as Shang Yanfei.

But even so, several different postures were already alluring enough.

No wonder that guy fell for her… Yao Meng narrowed her eyes, casually glancing at the meditating Mu Zhian, her gaze lingering on his slightly trembling eyebrow for a moment, then discreetly looking away.

Bodhisattva Miao Yi’s tone was calm, “I originally agreed with Benefactor Mu to hand him over to the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation after this. But since the Jade Empress is here, you can decide what to do.”

“No need, just follow his plan.”

To Bodhisattva Miao Yi’s surprise, this fairy easily gave the choice back to Mu Zhian.

“Why are you looking at me with such a surprised expression?”

Yao Meng glanced at her, her smile captivating, “I will unconditionally support whatever he does. Is that so strange?”

“Is this a reward for him saving you?” the female Bodhisattva asked softly.

Yao Meng pursed her red lips and said with a smile, “If I have to say, it’s probably a wife following her husband’s lead.”

Bodhisattva Miao Yi said faintly, “Even if you’re a Human Emperor, and he’s just reached Soul Transformation?”

Yao Meng raised a delicate eyebrow and said with a smile, “Even a Human Emperor can’t withstand his suppression.”

The female Bodhisattva was stunned for a moment, as if not understanding what she meant.

Only after seeing the seductive glint in her eyes did she react and say calmly, “If the cultivators of the Nine Provinces knew that the fairy of the Jade Pool Holy Land was so captivated by a little cultivator… I wonder what they would think.”

Yao Meng scoffed, a faint smile on her breathtakingly beautiful face, “You wouldn’t be saying this if you had tasted the Innate Celestial Furnace once.”

She no longer paid attention to Bodhisattva Miao Yi, but gracefully walked to Mu Zhian’s front, leaning down slightly:

After saying that, Yao Meng’s figure vanished from the room.

Wei Mengrou should have finished her bath by now… And regarding the Primordial Witch, she already had some clues from her earlier fight with her.

Now was the time to ask her about it.

On the other side, as Yao Meng’s voice fell, Mu Zhian’s body couldn’t help but shiver. Noticing a gaze on him, he helplessly opened his eyes.

He saw the green figure disappearing from his vision.

This Jade Empress is getting more and more alluring…

If it weren’t for the female Bodhisattva watching from the side, he probably wouldn’t have been able to control himself.

It went without saying that Yao Meng had seen through his act of pretending to meditate long ago, she just didn’t expose him.

Mu Zhian looked up at Bodhisattva Miao Yi, who was watching him, and said with a smile, “I’ve caused you a lot of trouble today, I’m truly sorry.”

“It’s fine, no major damage was done,” Bodhisattva Miao Yi paused slightly. “Is that woman in the yellow dress your maid?”

“Her aura is very special. I tried to restrain her with the rules of the Western Regions earlier, but she seemed unaffected.”

Mu Zhian smiled, “Aren’t Transcendence Realm experts all unaffected by the rules?”

“She’s different from the Jade Empress. The Jade Empress is somewhat affected by the rules in the Western Regions, because she was born in the Nine Provinces. All living beings in the Nine Provinces are more or less affected.”

Bodhisattva Miao Yi said calmly, “But your maid is completely unaffected by the rules.”

Mu Zhian’s thoughts stirred, and a person immediately came to mind.

The Primordial Witch.

To this day, Mu Zhian still didn’t know the Primordial Witch’s true identity, or how she was born.

And Bodhisattva Miao Yi’s words made him a little doubtful.

Perhaps the Primordial Witch wasn’t a being of the Nine Provinces, but accidentally came to the Nine Provinces from the vast alien starry sky in the past?

“Miss Wei’s original emotion today was ‘jealousy’, but after you kissed her, she regained her personality. Why is that?” the female Bodhisattva asked again.

Mu Zhian revealed a mysterious smile, “That’s a secret.”

“The Innate Celestial Furnace can make a person have seven emotions and six desires. And when you infused her with your cauldron’s Spiritual Energy, she transformed from the ‘evil’ personality to the ‘love’ personality, right?” she asked casually.

I didn’t expect this Bodhisattva to be so clever, reaching the correct conclusion just by observing… Mu Zhian was speechless for a moment, then said, “Since you already know, there’s no need to ask again.”

“Where is Benefactor Mu planning to go?”

Seeing Mu Zhian stand up, Bodhisattva Miao Yi asked.

Her white dress revealed a pair of snow-white, delicate feet, her fair and dazzling skin having an icy texture.

Her cold face was without any makeup, yet her natural beauty was breathtaking, her glass-like eyes devoid of emotion.

“Going for a walk, and also to see Sister Mengrou. I’m afraid her ‘evil’ side might come out again,” Mu Zhian said.

He wasn’t at ease. Although the cauldron’s Spiritual Energy had restored Wei Mengrou to her original state, who knew if the evil personality would be completely suppressed.

“You were pretending to meditate just now, weren’t you,” Bodhisattva Miao Yi suddenly said.

Mu Zhian didn’t deny it and said with a polite smile, “I just didn’t want to disturb your conversation.”

Bodhisattva Miao Yi didn’t say anything more, just gave Mu Zhian a meaningful look. From his eyes, she once again keenly sensed certain desires.

She sighed softly in her heart.

This little cultivator had such desires for her again.

How long had it been since anyone in the Western Regions had such thoughts about her?

Since she gathered the will of all beings and achieved the status of a Bodhisattva, very few dared to have such thoughts about her.

Mu Zhian was the first in recent years.

Bodhisattva Miao Yi looked at the windowsill where the Jade Empress had just been sitting and quickly recalled the fairy’s words from earlier.

The so-called Dao of Purifying the Heart wasn’t about being completely detached from emotions, but logically, one shouldn’t have a Dao Companion, as it would affect one’s Dao… Yet, it seemed the Jade Empress’s strength hadn’t been affected after being with that little cultivator.

No, not just that… The Jade Empress was even stronger than before.

Bodhisattva Miao Yi slowly closed her eyes, her mind quickly replaying the intimate actions of Mu Zhian and his maid in Nalanda Temple earlier.

Then, she quickly thought about Mu Zhian’s various actions towards her.

Bodhisattva Miao Yi had been pursued by many before. In fact, in the past, too many people had pursued her just for her beauty.

However, no matter which cultivator in the Western Regions pursued her, most of them eventually gave up under the influence of the will of all beings.

As for someone who held her hand and was slightly intimate with her, to this day, it was only Mu Zhian.

And unlike others, Mu Zhian gave a very sincere condition for his pursuit: Transcendence.

Yes… not by relying on the will of all beings, but by relying on the Innate Celestial Furnace to transcend.

The other party was a cultivator from the Eastern Continent and had helped the Jade Empress and the Sword Palace Master successfully transcend, breaking free from the shackles of heaven and earth.

Even the Demon Empress’s Transcendence seemed to be related to him.

The Buddhist Dharma of the Western Regions, her Dao, was certainly important, but Mu Zhian’s earlier words were hard to ignore.

However, the Western Regions had had many dirty collaborations with the Southern Wilderness in the past. In a sense, the Eastern Continent and the Western Regions were enemies.

As one of the only two Bodhisattvas in the Western Regions, cooperating with the ‘enemy’ was already a last resort. If she also agreed to his pursuit…

Since achieving Dao Integration, she had been revered by all the people of the Western Regions. If word got out about her relationship with Mu Zhian… the consequences would be unimaginable.

Not to mention, she was a Bodhisattva.

This little cultivator was probably infatuated with her body, or her temperament, which was why he had such thoughts.

“You heard my conversation with the Jade Empress, right,” Bodhisattva Miao Yi said softly.

Mu Zhian, who was about to leave the room, paused slightly, turned around, and said with a smile, “The path you and Yao Meng walk is different, so you don’t need to pay too much attention to what she said.”

“Ultimately, giving up the will of all beings and relying on the Innate Celestial Furnace to transcend… is indeed a difficult decision.”

“However, although transcending with the will of all beings is feasible, after all this time, the Western Regions can only have one Bodhisattva transcend, right?”

Bodhisattva Miao Yi didn’t speak, just looked at Mu Zhian with some surprise.

She didn’t expect him to have noticed this after being in the Western Regions for just a few days.

The will of all beings in the Western Regions could only allow one person to transcend, not everyone.

“I wonder if the person who will transcend will be you, or Manjushri Bodhisattva? Or the Buddha, whose whereabouts are currently unknown?”

His words held a hint of deeper meaning.

“I won’t disturb Bodhisattva Miao Yi any longer, I’ll take my leave.”

Looking at the silent Bodhisattva Miao Yi, Mu Zhian turned and left the meditation room.

The female Bodhisattva stood on the lotus flower, seemingly deep in thought.

After a long silence, she faintly saw a golden light in the sky, so she formed a hand seal and recited a Buddhist sutra.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw Manjushri Bodhisattva meditating on the other side of Nalanda.

The female Bodhisattva said in a calm tone, “What do you want to discuss with me?”

Wei Mengrou soaked in the bathtub, the water up to her shoulders. She tilted her head back slightly and exhaled slowly.

Only now did she feel the throbbing in her heart subside.

It was all the young master’s fault for being so handsy when he gave her the cauldron’s Spiritual Energy, otherwise, it wouldn’t have…

As if recalling some unpleasant memories, the maid’s usually cold face flushed a deep red. She pursed her lips, both embarrassed and annoyed.

She closed her eyes slightly, feeling the three witch spiritual senses merging with her own, and finally, her seven emotions and six desires fully returned.

“It seems you haven’t recovered from the afterglow yet. Do you need me to call him for you?”

Just then, a soft and pleasant voice came from beside her ear, pulling Wei Mengrou back to reality.

Wei Mengrou glanced over and saw the fairy in the green dress sitting beside her bathtub, looking at her with a smile. In the hazy white mist, her beautiful, fair skin and ample curves were faintly visible.

Yao Meng said with a faint smile, “I wanted to confirm if the evil witch’s side has truly been suppressed. If she comes out again, she’ll probably want to take him out of the Nine Provinces.”

An unnatural look appeared on Wei Mengrou’s face. Clearly, she had remembered her dark history from just now. She said faintly, “It’s fine now. The evil side only becomes the main personality for a short time after returning. Most of the time, I’ll remain clear-headed.”

Yao Meng: “If I remember correctly, the evil witch said before that her actions were all part of your inner thoughts, right?”

Wei Mengrou hummed softly in agreement, “I did think before that he shouldn’t return to the Nine Provinces, that he should stay in the Heavenly Court, or go to the Firmament.”

Mu Zhian could use that bronze ancient coffin to enter the Heavenly Court with his physical body, the so-called Immortal Realm in the mouths of the Nine Provinces cultivators.

Once he entered the Immortal Realm, he wouldn’t have to worry about the Heavenly Dao’s reckoning after its descent.

However, this was just a thought in her heart, and it wasn’t very strong. She didn’t expect it to be infinitely amplified by her ‘evil’ side, twisted into the idea of forcibly taking Mu Zhian away.

Yao Meng looked at the red petals covering the water’s surface, her fingertips seemingly toying with them, and asked casually, “Speaking of which, have you also transcended?”

Wei Mengrou gently shook her head, “To be precise, it’s not me who transcended, but the Primordial Witch.”

Yao Meng glanced at her and said faintly, “Isn’t that the same as you transcending?”

This was the same as Bai Ruoxi, who had two souls in one body. The current Bai Ruoxi’s spiritual sense hadn’t reached Dao Integration yet, but Gong Lianyue had already transcended, so she could switch spiritual senses and display Transcendence Realm strength at any time.

“If you have to say, it’s not wrong,” a complex look flashed through Wei Mengrou’s eyes.

Just then, a knock came from outside the room.

“Sister Mengrou, are you done with your bath?”

Mu Zhian’s voice came from outside.

Wei Mengrou came back to her senses and said faintly, “Come in.”

Mu Zhian pushed open the door and stopped before the screen, faintly seeing the figure of a beautiful woman bathing.

And behind the screen, a graceful figure could be faintly seen.

Mu Zhian recognized the other party’s identity and asked in surprise, “Yao Meng, why are you here too?”

“Can I not come?” Yao Meng asked with a smile. “Did I disturb your private time with Miss Wei?”

Mu Zhian shook his head, “Not at all. I just wanted to check on Sister Mengrou’s condition.”

“And besides, spending time with both of you at the same time is also a pleasure,” he added.

This sounded like he was saying, ‘I want to have a (censored) party’.

As if recalling some things she had done with Mu Zhian and other women before, a blush quickly flashed across Yao Meng’s face. She gave him a seductive look through the screen.

“How are you feeling now, Sister Mengrou?” Mu Zhian suddenly asked.

“I’m fine now,” Wei Mengrou’s tone was as cold as usual.

Then she hesitated, “Sorry, I’ve caused you a lot of trouble.”

To hear such an apology from the maid was truly rare, and it was enough to imagine her current remorse.

Mu Zhian smiled, “Actually, it wasn’t much trouble. I got to see another side of Sister Mengrou. If I have to say, I’ve gained.”

“Yes, it was indeed a gain. I didn’t realize Miss Wei had such a side before,” a pleasant and crisp voice suddenly sounded.

A very ethereal figure appeared before Mu Zhian, silver hair, red eyes, white silk stockings covering her slender legs, looking particularly hazy and beautiful.

The New Heavenly Dao.

Yuanluo looked at the maid behind the screen and said with a teasing tone, “I didn’t expect that Miss Wei, who usually follows her master, uncompetitive and unassertive, actually has a little girlfriend’s dream of hiding in the young master’s arms and acting spoiled…”

“Actually, if you had said so earlier, he definitely wouldn’t have minded… He would probably have been quite happy that his Sister Mengrou would act spoiled with him.”

Behind the screen, Wei Mengrou’s face flushed a deep red, and even her crystal-clear earlobes turned slightly hot. She silently covered her face.

Normally, she would have just sneered, but today, her ‘evil’ side had exposed all her dark history…

This was social death.

“Wanting to hide in his arms and act spoiled…?”

Yao Meng also looked at Wei Mengrou with surprise. She blinked her green eyes, then, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

“I didn’t expect Miss Wei to have such thoughts…”

Her words were quite meaningful.

That’s enough, if you say any more, Sister Mengrou will really die of social embarrassment… Mu Zhian coughed lightly and said seriously, “Yuanluo, why are you in the Nine Provinces? Didn’t you say you might be detected by the Heavenly Dao if you descended directly?”

Yuanluo pouted, “After my power increased, I can’t deceive the Heavenly Dao anymore, so it doesn’t matter.”

That sounds more like you’ve given up… Mu Zhian complained inwardly.

Just then, Yuanluo looked up at Mu Zhian with a smile, “Now that we have no way back, you need to recruit more people to resonate with me. For example, that Bodhisattva from the Western Regions is a good choice. I can see she’s already wavering. You just need to seduce her with your body, and she might agree.”

Mu Zhian’s forehead was filled with black lines, “What kind of person do you take me for?”

Yuanluo glanced at the young man, a proud smile at the corner of her mouth, “Heh.”

What are you laughing at? One day, I’ll find a chance and use you to pop a champagne bottle… Mu Zhian composed himself slightly, “Anyway, according to you, you want more great powers to resonate with you, right?”

Yuanluo nodded gently, “The current Miss Wei, and that Bodhisattva from the Western Regions, and the Space God of the Southern Wilderness… they can all be recruited.”

“Perhaps I can’t give them the condition of transcending in a short time… but if I offer you as a reward, I believe they will be very willing.”

“In short, let’s have Miss Wei resonate with me first.”

As Yuanluo spoke, she walked behind the screen with her hands behind her back, then suddenly stopped and looked back at Mu Zhian, “You’re not allowed to come over!”

I’m Sister Mengrou’s master… Mu Zhian sighed and could only wait before the screen.

While waiting, he suddenly recalled something important, “Sister Mengrou, after you went yandere today, you kept wanting to take me away from the Nine Provinces. Did you see something in the Primordial Witch’s memories?”

“Even if the Great Qian Dynasty doesn’t fall, the Heavenly Dao will eventually descend. It will purge those who violate the rules of heaven and earth… and among them, you are the primary target,” Wei Mengrou’s voice came from behind the screen.

A Heavenly Dao with humanity is after me…?

Mmm, that’s not surprising. Sect Master Sister has done so much, it seems it’s to fight against the Heavenly Dao and also protect me… Mu Zhian asked again, “Who was the one who suppressed the Forbidden Lands in the past, you or the Sect Master?”

This was the question he was most concerned about now.

“The one who suppressed the Forbidden Lands was me, but also her,” Wei Mengrou said.

Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment, thinking, You seem to have said something, but also nothing.

“The Primordial Witch’s spiritual sense can merge with the Sect Master without any hindrance. In the past, while I was slumbering, it was always her who merged with the Primordial Witch’s spiritual sense and suppressed the Forbidden Lands.”

Hearing Wei Mengrou’s answer, Mu Zhian pondered for a moment and continued, “Then what’s the relationship between the Sect Master and you… or rather, the Sect Master and the Primordial Witch?”

This time, Wei Mengrou was silent for a long time.

“I’m not sure yet. My spiritual sense and the Primordial Witch’s haven’t completely merged, it will take some time,” she finally replied calmly.

A thoughtful look appeared on Mu Zhian’s face.

It seemed he had to wait until Sister Mengrou’s side had completely merged with the Primordial Witch’s spiritual sense before making any plans.

What he needed to do now was to wait for the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation to come and take him away.

It would be best if he could win over Bodhisattva Miao Yi before that, to prevent the Western Regions from betraying them when the Heavenly Dao descended.

The more great powers who resonated with the New Heavenly Dao, the stronger Yuanluo’s combat power would be, and the more bargaining chips they would have.

Why does this suddenly feel like a raising sim game…? Persuading other great powers to resonate with the New Heavenly Dao, upgrading Yuanluo bit by bit.

I wonder if little Yuanluo’s card art will change again after she’s maxed out…

Although the current New Heavenly Dao’s card art is already quite good…

Thinking of this, Mu Zhian said at the right time, “Dao Integration and resonance still need some time. I’ll go back and meditate for a while first.”

With that said, he turned and left the room.

If he wasn’t mistaken, his words and Yao Meng’s words today must have shaken Bodhisattva Miao Yi.

Mu Zhian was quite curious.

On one side was the certainty of Transcendence, and on the other was the need to compete with Manjushri Bodhisattva and even the Buddha for the will of all beings in the future. How would she choose in the end?

A Bodhisattva’s will wasn’t so easily shaken. Perhaps she would still choose the ‘will of all beings’.

But at least while he was still in the Western Regions, he could try to recruit her again.

After all, when pursuing a girl… failing once or twice was nothing, patience was key. Thɪs chapter is updated by novᴇlfire.net

At this moment, in a certain meditation room, Manjushri Bodhisattva sat on a meditation cushion, his hands clasped together, looking straight ahead.

In the corner of the meditation room, a female Bodhisattva in white transformed into an ethereal figure and said, “You came to see me, could it be because of the battle between the Jade Empress and that mysterious person on Nalanda today?”

“It has nothing to do with today’s events. Ultimately, the matter between the Jade Empress and that mysterious person has little to do with us,” Manjushri Bodhisattva said slowly.

Bodhisattva Miao Yi: “Then what is it about?”

Manjushri Bodhisattva said calmly, “I’ve glimpsed a corner of the future these past two days. The Buddha’s fate is currently unknown. If the Heavenly Dao descends in the future, it might purge us. But perhaps, it might also choose us.”

“Ultimately, the Heavenly Dao is the aggregate of all living beings in the Nine Provinces. It won’t completely erase all living beings. Once it knows there are several Transcendence Realm experts in the Nine Provinces now, it will prioritize purging those who have escaped the rules of heaven and earth, unless those who have transcended have already left the Nine Provinces.”

A flicker of emotion appeared in Bodhisattva Miao Yi’s indifferent eyes, “You mean, the Heavenly Dao won’t be hostile to the entire Nine Provinces, and it’s very likely to bribe some factions, and the Western Regions is one of them?”

Manjushri Bodhisattva nodded slightly, “It’s still unknown what the Heavenly Dao will decide, but preparing for both possibilities is the best course of action. Resisting the heavens is not a wise move, but going against the heavens.”

“Ultimately, Mu Zhian is a cultivator from the Eastern Continent. His words can’t be fully trusted. We’re cooperating with him now, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be a cooperative relationship in the future.”

Bodhisattva Miao Yi raised a delicate eyebrow, her fair and crystal-clear jade feet on a lotus flower, and said calmly, “Mu Zhian can’t be trusted, and the Heavenly Dao can’t be trusted either. Don’t forget, the current Heavenly Dao is very likely not the Heavenly Dao of the past. It has humanity, and humans are creatures with desires and flaws.”

“Even so, compared to Mu Zhian, I’m more willing to believe in the Heavenly Dao… Of course, on the premise that it extends an olive branch,” Manjushri Bodhisattva said solemnly.

“The Heavenly Dao won’t be hostile to the entire Nine Provinces. Perhaps in the future, it will offer the condition that as long as we stand by and watch, it won’t purge the Western Regions.”

“By then, we can gather the will of all beings in the Western Regions and transcend.”

Bodhisattva Miao Yi no longer spoke.

Relying on the will of all beings in the Western Regions to transcend, how many monks pursued this?

But the question was, who would transcend?

The will of all beings accumulated by the Western Regions over these years was far from enough for two Bodhisattvas to transcend.

So, would it be her, or this Manjushri Bodhisattva, who had far more seniority than her?

Or would they keep the will of all beings and wait for the Buddha’s return?

Bodhisattva Miao Yi said calmly, “The Buddha is currently not here. If Manjushri Bodhisattva gathers the will of all beings and transcends in the future, my Western Regions will finally have the protection of a Transcendence Realm expert.”

This seemed like a tacit agreement to let Manjushri Bodhisattva gather the will of all beings, but it was actually a test.

If Manjushri Bodhisattva didn’t have this idea, he would have hesitated at this moment.

However, Manjushri Bodhisattva just smiled and nodded, “After this, I will also prepare the will of all beings for Bodhisattva Miao Yi’s Transcendence.”

This sounded very sincere, but to Bodhisattva Miao Yi, it sounded incredibly hypocritical.

The Western Regions had prepared for tens of thousands of years, and could only have one person transcend.

A Dao Integration Realm expert could only live for two lifetimes. Even with the strengthening of Emperor Medicine, it could only extend their lifespan by another twenty thousand years at most. Any longer was impossible due to the constraints of the rules of heaven and earth.

Could she wait for the next time the will of all beings was gathered?

Bodhisattva Miao Yi broke the silence, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going back.”

Manjushri Bodhisattva nodded gently and said with a smile, “Remember to hand Mu Zhian over to the Forbidden Lands after this.”

Bodhisattva Miao Yi didn’t say anything more, her figure disappearing from the meditation room like a bubble.

Her cold eyes seemed to hold a hint of confusion she didn’t have before.

All along, she had been cultivating diligently for the Western Regions, even achieving the status of a Bodhisattva.

However, because of the experiences of these past few days, Bodhisattva Miao Yi’s heart was filled with some confusion.

The Jade Empress, who cultivated the Dao of Purifying the Heart, could use the Innate Celestial Furnace to transcend, and Bodhisattva Miao Yi naturally could too.

But she was different from the Jade Empress. She was a Bodhisattva of the Western Regions, she shouldn’t have such desires.

No wonder Mu Zhian was so coveted by the Forbidden Zone Lords.

Sighing softly in her heart, when Bodhisattva Miao Yi opened her eyes again, she happened to see the young man who had just sat down on the meditation cushion, his gaze sweeping over her voluptuous figure.

Actually, she had always found this young man a bit strange. He already had breathtakingly beautiful fairies like the Jade Empress, and his maid was also a stunning beauty. Yet when he was with her, he would still stare at her with infatuation, even reacting to her feet.

His desires were too strong, which would easily affect his future cultivation.

Just as Bodhisattva Miao Yi was thinking about these messy things, Mu Zhian seemed to sense something and looked up with a smile, “It seems you’ve encountered some trouble?”
