Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

Jieyin looked at his master before him, filled with awe.

The master is too powerful. As a great emperor, he can also use all the myriad paths and make them resonate.

However, he is far from being able to set rules within the Great Dao like his master.

This requires not only immense strength but also unparalleled prestige; otherwise, the principles of heaven and earth will disregard you.

Ordinary enlightened beings want to add rules to the Great Way? That's just wishful thinking.

Even as a great emperor, he was still so insignificant in front of his master.

"I still need to keep working hard."

The master and disciple then began to discuss the Dao. Jiang Hao spoke of his insights on the path to immortality in the mortal world, the application of the power of faith, and how to find a balance between grand aspirations and reality.

He explained his understanding of the Great Way, the scriptures of the ancient monks, the lineage under the Bodhi tree, and his understanding of universal salvation.

The aroma of tea wafted through the hall, and golden light flickered intermittently until it ended a year later.

After the discourse concluded, Jieyin was filled with emotion.

Master is indeed worthy of being called Master; even his understanding of Buddhism and Taoism is so profound.

He had pondered some scriptures for many years, but his master enlightened him with just a few words.

Some of the problems that had troubled him for a long time were resolved by his master in just a few words.

She's incredibly versatile.

Although Master Mingming does not practice Buddhism or Taoism, he knows more than those who do.

After the discussion concluded, Jieyin stood up and bowed to Jiang Hao.

"Master, this disciple is off."

Jiang Hao nodded: "Go ahead."

Jieyin turned around and walked out of the Taoist palace, with the Vajra Pestle hanging beside him and the Bodhi Tree glowing in his sleeve.

After leaving the Great Luo Heaven, he did not immediately establish a residence but began to travel through the human realm.

I walked across many of the stars of life in the human world.

He walked through mountain villages, helping the villagers with all sorts of things.

He walked across the battlefield, reciting scriptures to pray for the souls of the fallen monks.

He traveled through cities ravaged by plague, brewing medicine to save lives.

He preached in many places, resolving the doubts of all beings.

His followers are growing.

Some people only saw him once from afar and decided to follow him.

Finally, the guide stopped in the western desert of Beidou.

Upon arriving here, Jieyin suddenly had a strange feeling that he should establish his lineage here.

Compared to the other four places in Beidou, the western desert of Beidou has very poor conditions, with yellow sand covering the sky and few people venturing there.

The guide stood on a sand dune, the wind blowing his monk's robes.

He took a Bodhi tree from his sleeve and planted it on the sand dune.

The Bodhi tree took root in the ground, its branches spread out, and golden light shone forth.

Wherever the golden light passed, the yellow sand turned into fertile soil, the withered trees sprouted new buds, and the dried-up riverbeds gushed forth springs.

Then Jieyin took out the immortal mountain he had obtained from the chaotic void.

This is a five-ringed fairy mountain, with the rings getting wider as you go up.

Sacred and majestic, surrounded by the sun, moon and stars.

Its name is Mount Sumeru!

With this, Buddhism was officially established, sparking much discussion from all sides.

"The Great Emperor of Amitabha is truly compassionate. Every single thing he has done is for the sake of all sentient beings."

"Apart from the Heavenly Emperor, he is the best emperor for all living beings."

Some people frowned and retorted.

"It's too bizarre. Those people followed him and became completely devoted to him, as if they were possessed."

"Do you know if he used any underhanded tactics? Human nature is unpredictable."

"But he is indeed doing real work; the believers' health has improved, their lives have improved, isn't that true?"

"It's just the surface; who knows what's behind it?"

Opinions are divided, and the debate continues.

Regardless, Buddhism rose to prominence on the world stage thanks to the appearance of the Great Emperor of Amitabha.

Moreover, it flourished, and more and more people listened to the sermons under the Bodhi tree.

On Mount Sumeru, the incense offerings are becoming increasingly abundant.

Two and a half years later, a streak of light flew from the direction of Wudi City.

The city of Emperor Wu is located in the eastern region of the Big Dipper, while the gateway to enlightenment is in the western desert. The stream of light spans half of the Big Dipper and lands at the foot of Mount Sumeru.

Lin Dong emerged from the light, looked up at Mount Sumeru for a long while, and then began to climb the mountain.

Almost simultaneously, a streak of light flew in from the direction of the Purple Star.

Wang Bo landed at the foot of Mount Sumeru, exchanged a glance with Lin Dong, and the two smiled at the same time.

"You're here too?" Lin Dong asked.

Wang Bo nodded: "I would also like to meet this Great Emperor of Reception."

The two walked up the mountain side by side, the mountain breeze blowing down from above, carrying the fragrance of bodhi leaves.

As we approached the summit, the guide was already waiting under the Bodhi tree.

"Fellow Daoists, I have long admired you."

Lin Dong clasped his hands in greeting: "Fellow Daoist, I apologize for the intrusion in your visit."

Wang Bo also clasped his hands in greeting. He looked at Jieyin, his gaze lingering on Jieyin's face for a moment, and then smiled.

"Speaking of which, you and I are considered to be from the same sect. Although the Heavenly Emperor did not formally accept me as his disciple, he passed on the Heavenly Emperor Scripture to me and guided my cultivation. This kindness is no different from that of a master and disciple."

A glint of light flashed in the guide's eyes, and he nodded.

"My master has nurtured and taught me, so we are indeed fellow disciples."

Lin Dong stood aside, watching the two of them, and said with a smile, "Then I am an outsider."

Wang Bo shook his head: "Emperor Wu, you are too kind. The Three Realms are one family; how can there be 'inside' or 'outside'?"

The three looked at each other and smiled.

When the three emperors met, countless people looked up, thinking they were about to fight.

"Did Emperor Wu and Emperor Wuji go to find Emperor Jieyin? Are they going to fight?"

"A war between three emperors? That's something to watch!"

However, the three did not fight as the crowd had predicted.

They sat cross-legged under the Bodhi tree, forming a circle.

The guide clasped his hands together, and golden light shone from his body, a soft and warm radiance like the rising sun.

Lin Dong was surrounded by an aura of imperial might, and the aura of the azure Dao surged like a tide.

Chaotic energy surged around Wang Bo.

The three great lights intertwined.

The sound of the Tao emanated from the light, sometimes like the sound of bells, sometimes like chanting, and sometimes like someone whispering in one's ear.

On Mount Sumeru, the Bodhi leaves rustle.

The crowd was stunned. It turned out that the Great Emperors were going to fight. How did the Great Dao begin to contend for supremacy?

For ten days and ten nights, the three kinds of light alternated in intensity and brightness.

The sound of the Dao has never ceased; sometimes it is as high as a dragon's roar, and sometimes as low as a sigh.

The vegetation on Mount Sumeru grew wildly during these ten days, and the flowers bloomed again and again.

The spring water at the foot of the mountain becomes sweet and clear, and drinking it can calm the mind and concentrate the spirit.

At dawn on the eleventh day, as the light faded, the three emperors rose to their feet.

The guide clasped his hands together in prayer.

"Thank you both, fellow Daoists."

Lin Dong waved his hand: "We should be thanking you. Fellow Daoist is unparalleled and has broadened my horizons."

Wang Bo nodded, looked at Jieyin, paused for a moment, and said, "Your path is terrifying. I've lived for so long and have never seen a path like this before."

The two were deeply impressed; in a contest of pure Dao, they had actually fallen to a disadvantage.

The opponent's Dao is too peculiar, and this Great Emperor of Guidance is an extraordinary person with unparalleled Dao will.

The crowd looked at each other, bewildered, unsure of the outcome.

Time flies like water; three thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, deep within the Great Luo Heaven, Jiang Hao's Dao Fruit Body was meditating when he suddenly opened his eyes.

"Um?"

Jiang Hao frowned, a strange feeling rising from the bottom of his heart.

Between heaven and earth, a warning entered his mind, conveying a message: an unprecedented and very special person had been born.

Jiang Hao was truly astonished. Since he attained enlightenment, he had seen countless geniuses, but none of them had received such treatment.

Even when the three exceptionally talented individuals like Di Chen were born, the heavens and earth did not react in this way.

And now, this kind of reaction has actually occurred.

What kind of person is this? A chosen one?

Even more terrifyingly, the bronze bell, which had been silent for a long time, began to react.

The bronze bell emitted a faint golden light, and the patterns on the bell lit up.
