#257 - Chapter 257 A Ray of Buddha's Light

Back on逍遥 Peak.

Ye Kong picked up his fishing rod from the edge of the Sea of Bitterness, preparing to descend the mountain.

He had never been to the Pure Land of婆娑, and he didn't know what the situation was like inside.

This time, Ye Kong didn't even know if he could enter.

He could only try.

Just as he was about to go down the mountain,

The Earth Mother emerged from the soil under the willow tree.

"Take me with you," the Earth Mother hurriedly followed Ye Kong.

"Do you know where I'm going?" Ye Kong turned back and asked.

"I know," the Earth Mother nodded.

Ye Kong glanced at the Earth Mother. She was so eager; could there be something she wanted in the Pure Land of婆娑?

"Tell me what you're going to do first, and then I'll decide whether to take you or not," Ye Kong asked directly.

"Eat..."

Before the Earth Mother could finish speaking, Ye Kong interrupted her:

"Don't tell me you're going for food! You eat meat, and monks are vegetarian."

Ye Kong wouldn't believe that the Earth Mother would follow him to the Pure Land of婆娑 for food.

There were no people there long ago, and even if there was food, it would have spoiled.

Moreover, monks are vegetarian, but the Earth Mother is not.

"I just want to go in and take a look," the Earth Mother said.

Ye Kong looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Alright, I'll take you, but you're not allowed to run around!"

"Okay," the Earth Mother nodded, then led Ye Kong into the ground, heading towards the Pure Land of婆娑.

In less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the Earth Mother brought Ye Kong outside the Pure Land of婆娑.

The Pure Land of婆娑 is located in the Western Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Ye Kong looked up at the Land of Ultimate Bliss, sealed by the character '卍', and frowned slightly.

The entire continent was completely wrapped in Buddhist script. From the air, it looked like a golden钵 was inverted over the Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Ye Kong examined it for a while, then gently touched the Buddhist script.

The Buddhist script was as soft as cotton, but it could not be penetrated.

"This rune is very special. It doesn't cause any harm, but it can't be broken," the Earth Mother said.

"Can't you enter from the ground either?" Ye Kong asked curiously.

"I can't," the Earth Mother shook her head.

If she could enter on her own, she wouldn't have followed Ye Kong.

Ye Kong tried it, and the Buddhist script was indeed very strong.

"Can't you open it either?" the Earth Mother asked, seeing Ye Kong stop trying.

Ye Kong took out his fishing rod and removed the straight fishhook.

He held the fishhook and drew a few strokes on the Buddhist script, and the Buddhist script instantly dissipated.

"See, isn't it open now?" Ye Kong opened a gap and took the Earth Mother in.

To prevent being discovered, Ye Kong filled in the runes again to prevent anyone from breaking in.

After finishing, Ye Kong turned around and was immediately stunned.

Before his eyes,

Golden lotuses grew all over the ground, and golden dragons coiled in the white clouds, landing on the temples floating in the air.

The monks bowed towards the direction of the Thunderclap Temple, chanting the name of Buddha.

"Amitabha!"

The entire Land of Ultimate Bliss was illuminated by golden light, with thousands of scenes, infinitely wonderful.

"Enter my Buddhist gate and ascend to the Land of Ultimate Bliss early!" A Buddhist voice entered Ye Kong's ears.

Just as Ye Kong was fascinated, a jade hand waved in front of his eyes, interrupting his vision.

"Ye Kong, Ye Kong," the Earth Mother called out a few times.

Ye Kong lowered his head slightly and glanced at the Earth Mother, "What's wrong?"

"What are you looking at? And why is there golden light in your eyes?" the Earth Mother asked.

"Golden light in my eyes?" Ye Kong frowned slightly and took out the Tongtian Treasure Mirror to take a look.

He saw a '卍' in his left eye and a '佛' character in his right eye.

Ye Kong closed his eyes, activated his spiritual power, and refined the two characters that appeared in his eyes.

A faint golden light flowed from the corner of Ye Kong's eye and dissipated into the heavens and earth.

When Ye Kong opened his eyes again, the auspiciousness was gone.

What replaced it was dilapidation and collapse!

All the temples collapsed and fell to the ground, dilapidated and不堪.

The land that was originally covered in golden light was stained with a layer of black, like dried blood.

On the ground, there were also many dragon bones. Looking at these dragon bones, Ye Kong couldn't help but think of the golden dragons that had been circling and flying before.

Before, this was the Land of Ultimate Bliss; now, this is煉獄.

Here, it was wrapped in Buddhist script, and the sky seemed very昏暗.

"So, this is the Pure Land of婆娑?" Ye Kong喃喃 said.

The name is called Pure Land of婆娑, but Ye Kong felt that it should be called净土!

"It's so miserable," the Earth Mother said.

"But there are too many golden dragons in the Pure Land of婆娑!" Ye Kong was a little surprised.

Looking around, the corpses of golden dragons were more numerous than the temples!

"This is a蛟化龙," the Earth Mother said.

"蛟化龙?" Ye Kong couldn't help but愣.

"There is only one real golden dragon in the Pure Land of婆娑. The rest are all蛟 that have been baptized by the 化龙池," the Earth Mother explained.

"I said, when did golden dragons become so worthless that they are everywhere," Ye Kong said faintly.

"But how could the Pure Land of婆娑 be destroyed in one fell swoop?" Ye Kong couldn't help but wonder.

"Don't ask me, I was asleep. This is also the first time I've come in since I woke up," the Earth Mother hurriedly cleared herself.

Ye Kong glanced at her, too lazy to pay attention to her.

The two walked towards the Thunderclap Temple. The surroundings were full of corpses. Some had become Buddhas in the flesh, so their bodies were still well preserved, while others had long since turned into a pile of bone powder.

"Three thousand small worlds are gone," the Earth Mother said with some regret.

"Three thousand small worlds?" Ye Kong asked in confusion.

"The Buddha said, one flower, one world, one leaf, one Bodhi! Each temple here is actually a small world," the Earth Mother explained.

"So what are you here to do?" Ye Kong asked.

"I'm just here to take a look," the Earth Mother said truthfully.

Ye Kong glanced at the Earth Mother, not knowing if what she said was true.

Ye Kong couldn't guess what the Earth Mother was here to do.

But he came in, definitely to wander around.

It's just that everything here is dilapidated, and it's difficult for Ye Kong to find anything useful.

Not even a bit of information was left behind.

Moreover, the houses here were destroyed by falling from the sky, and Ye Kong couldn't tell who did it.

There was no aura here, only endless dilapidation.

Ye Kong looked at some intact corpses and couldn't help but frown.

The destruction of the Pure Land of婆娑 was too匪夷所思.

None of the monks here died from injuries; all of their primordial spirits were寂灭.

Moreover, the earth stained black with blood was obviously not their blood.

If the Pure Land of婆娑 was attacked by external enemies, then it would have been riddled with holes, and the temples would have completely disappeared.

But now the earth here is intact, and all the monks died very strangely.

Moreover, Ye Kong saw their sitting postures, as if they had long anticipated that they would die and were prepared.

Ye Kong couldn't understand why they didn't run away, even though they knew they were going to die.

Instead, they stayed in the Pure Land of婆娑 until they were滅絕?
