Mysterious mirror hanging high

The monk pondered for a long time and said, "Have you been deceived by any magic that has caused your mind to wander?"

Jing Yu was stunned. He vaguely knew what was going on.

"To answer your question, Senior, I was on a battlefield before and was indeed struck by a spell, which triggered my delusions. However, I was able to retain a little bit of my spiritual truth by using some methods to preserve my true self and dispel the delusions."

"Hi!"

The monk patted his head and laughed, "So that's what happened. Looks like this was a big misunderstanding."

"I've been feeling a bit lazy lately, and I've always felt that using my divine consciousness to split my soul into smaller parts and send them to secret realms to grant opportunities is still too slow, so I made a model that can automatically release opportunities, and randomly scattered it to some areas in the lower realms to test the effect. Originally, it was planned that cultivators with a certain destiny would be detained here after they formed their infants, and given an opportunity."

"There are originally three prerequisites. The first is the spiritual energy fluctuations required to form a fetus."

"The second is to understand one's mind and see one's true nature, to preserve one's truth and dispel delusion... Generally speaking, those who can meet this requirement in a place where someone has formed an infant are most likely those who have formed an infant and are overcoming the inner demon tribulation. This is something I take for granted!"

"Third, the chosen target possesses a destiny that leads to his capture. For you to be here, you must have met all three of these conditions."

"Hmm... This model is still too crude. I need to modify it so that I can free my hands..."

Jing Yu was now certain that the monk before him was none other than the Buddha of Universal Salvation. He could not help but bow and say, "Senior, I do bear a destiny."

Pudu Buddha touched his chin and said with a smile, "So you know about your fate! It seems you have seen the world..."

"My divine consciousness descended upon this place, and I discovered that this world is small and remote. If it weren't for a puppet's daoist beacon to locate it and follow the clues, I'm afraid even the World Honored One wouldn't be able to find this place. It seems you are undoubtedly a chosen one from a certain Immortal Selection Hall! I wonder which Dao Lord you are serving under? What is your fate?"

Before Jing Yu could reply, Pudu Buddha had already pulled out a palm-sized jade Buddha statue from the lining of his monk's robe and said, "Forget it, I'll come and see it myself."

The next moment, the Buddha statue in the hands of the Buddha Lord Pudu clasped his hands together, lowered his eyebrows and chanted a Buddhist name. The whole body radiated a colorful glass light, and he slowly said: "Long life and long life."

Pudu Buddha was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Divine quality destiny..."

"Longevity?"

He slapped his thigh, a smile on his face, and said, "I was wondering how such a misunderstanding could have happened. It turns out that fate had already been involved. I never thought it would happen in person by the Third Prince of the Changqing Immortal Court!"

"The Evergreen Immortal Court?" Jing Yu felt a little puzzled, because the Taoist Nine Lives had never told him about his background, and he really didn't know what the Immortal Court or His Highness was.

"This, Buddha, can you explain it more clearly?"

Buddha Pudu shook his head and smiled, "You must be a chosen immortal from the [Changsheng Palace], right?"

"Exactly."

"The [Eternal Life Hall] is a hall of immortals chosen by the son of the Taoist Master Changqing, the Taoist Master Wanshou, and the Taoist Master Jiuming, the Taoist Master's disciple. They are also the two high priests of the [Changqing Immortal Court]."

"Since you have awakened the [Eternal Life], which is rare even in an entire era, you are naturally born to be under the command of the Taoist Master Changqing. It is not an exaggeration to call you the Third Prince of Life."

"It turns out that the Taoist father of Wanshou Daojun is named [Changqing]..." Jing Yu said secretly.

Buddha Pudu said, "Your Highness is quite lucky. The Taoist Changqing has always had a bad relationship with our Buddhist sect, and he has had some serious conflicts with the several World Honored Ones above me. He is lucky to have met a good person like me. If you enter the inheritance cave of other Buddhas, once your identity is exposed, those people will find a way to capture you even if it means offending the Changqing Immortal Court."

Jing Yu was slightly stunned. "I wonder what kind of feud my Taoist Master has with Buddhism?"

Buddha Lord Pudu shook his head. "It's said that this is an old story from long before Daozun attained enlightenment. The real reason is probably only known by Daozun Changqing and a few of the World Lords themselves. Or maybe the old Daozun who have lived for hundreds of epochs know some fragments of the inside story. How can a young Buddha Lord like me, who has only lived for a dozen epochs, know anything?"

After saying this, he pursed his lips and said, "The mural in the long corridor previously depicted the Taoist Master Changqing himself, but it was probably a fake story made up by a lucky Buddhist disciple to curry favor with the Buddha, to smear the Taoist Master!"

"It's just that Daoist Master Changqing himself is magnanimous and doesn't mind matters. If it were someone with a violent temper, let alone the groundless stories on the murals, even if you said a few rumors anywhere in the universe, you would be dragged out and your tongue would be ripped out!"

"But it makes sense. After all, Daoist Master Changqing is a figure who can influence the laws of heaven and prolong the lifespans of all cultivators. How could he care about such ants?"

Buddha Pudu looked envious: "If I had the ability of Daozun, I would definitely be more tolerant and compassionate."

The Buddha in front of him was obviously a kind person who maintained good relations with all parties. Jing Yu could not help but be bolder and asked:

"Buddha Lord, having cultivated to the realm of Dao Zun and Shi Zun, can you influence the various rules of heaven and earth? Do you really have such ability?"

"Isn't it?"

"Ever since Daoist Master Changqing attained enlightenment, the lifespans of cultivators practicing the Daoist Qi training system have greatly increased. Foundation Establishment cultivators, who originally had a lifespan of 200 years, can now live to 300, and Golden Core cultivators have also seen their lifespans increase from 500 to 800... Moreover, Daoist Master Changqing is still expanding his path, so who knows, in a few more epochs, the lifespans of cultivators may increase even further!"

The Buddha of Universal Redemption said, "There is also a [Dao Zun of Samsara]. After achieving enlightenment, a cultivator's first reincarnation will keep his true spirit awake and spiritually perfect. Even if he reincarnates again, he still has the hope of achieving enlightenment and becoming a Daoist master. This practically gives all cultivators another chance... In our Buddhist sect, the theory of reincarnation is highly valued. All the Buddhas are very grateful to the Dao Zun of Samsara. He is considered the most respected Dao Zun in our Buddhist sect."

"The way the Daoist Master of Samsara expands the path of cultivation is also quite ingenious. He uses supreme secret techniques to blind his true spirit and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation as a mortal. As long as he can re-attain the status of Master within an epoch, his path of cultivation will have advanced a step. By then, the number of reincarnations that cultivators can complete with their true spirits awake and spiritual perfection will increase from [one] to [two]... If reincarnation fails once, there's always another chance!"

"It's a pity that achieving Dao Zun in a single epoch is so difficult. The Dao Zun of Samsara attempts reincarnation once in every epoch, but unfortunately, no one has ever reached the Dao Zun position based on a single lifetime of accumulation. The best record is only achieving Dao Fruit and achieving Dao Lord."

Jing Yu exclaimed in amazement, "So, the Daozun of Samsara descending to the mortal world to endure tribulations and reincarnate is something that all cultivators in the world are eagerly anticipating. Doesn't that mean he'll have countless opportunities and benefactors along the way? Wouldn't all the forces and sects in the heavens and myriad worlds rush to help him continue his path?"
