Within the tranquil back mountain of Nalanda Temple, the Bodhisattva in white gently kissed Mu Zhian on the lips, the two of them gazing at each other in silence.
Miss Heavenly Dao, clad in immortal gold armor, stood not far from them, a silent observer.
It was a perfect scene.
Mu Zhian was still in a state of utter disbelief.
This isn’t right, why has this Western Regions Bodhisattva suddenly become so open…?
After snapping out of it, he looked up, staring intently at the beautiful woman’s face, a thousand questions in his mind.
Not long ago, her attitude was ‘Stay away from me with your crooked Innate Celestial Furnace’, yet now, her attitude had taken a complete one-eighty.
It was quite baffling.
While Mu Zhian was still in shock, the next moment, the female Bodhisattva gracefully took a step back and said calmly, “It’s rumored that the Innate Celestial Furnace can help Dao Integration Realm experts transcend. Even the Forbidden Lands covet Benefactor Mu. I just wanted to confirm if this is true, nothing more.”
At least, it could be confirmed that if a Dao Integration Realm Empress used the Innate Celestial Furnace, she could indeed transcend sooner.
The Jade Empress, with only a wisp of spiritual sense remaining, was able to rebuild her immortal body. Mu Zhian must have played a crucial role in that… the female Bodhisattva thought inwardly.
Mu Zhian came back to his senses and said with a smile, “This should be a holy place of Buddhism, right? Is it alright for Bodhisattva Miao Yi to do this?”
“As long as the Buddhist heart is firm, nothing else matters,” Miao Yi Bodhisattva said calmly. “I believe your words from before, so I will reject the deal the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation and the Immortal Forbidden Land made with the Western Regions.”
If the Heavenly Dao were to descend within a hundred years, she and Manjushri Bodhisattva wouldn’t have enough time to transcend.
And just now, she had personally confirmed Mu Zhian’s Innate Celestial Furnace… that alluring and sweet Spiritual Energy, even her will was slightly shaken.
Because that Spiritual Energy was too powerful. Miao Yi Bodhisattva was almost certain that if she used Mu Zhian’s Innate Celestial Furnace, she could also transcend before the Heavenly Dao descended.
If the Forbidden Zone Lords obtained Mu Zhian, they could also do the same.
Once the Lord of Reincarnation transcended… the Western Regions would probably find it difficult to remain independent.
At least, judging from the current situation of the various Forbidden Lands, they were clearly much more active than before.
However, just then, a sudden voice came, pulling Miao Yi Bodhisattva back to reality.
Mu Zhian said with a smile, “You should proceed with your deal with the Forbidden Lands as planned. Casting aside the national fortune for no reason would be a waste, wouldn’t it?”
Miao Yi Bodhisattva gazed at Mu Zhian quietly, “What do you mean, Benefactor Mu?”
Just a moment ago, Mu Zhian was earnestly persuading her, but now… he was advising her to continue cooperating with the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation?
“Don’t misunderstand, Bodhisattva Miao Yi. I’m saying your deal should proceed as planned, but as for the so-called consensus with the Forbidden Land of Reincarnation… it’s better not to have any illusions.” ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel•fire.net
Mu Zhian said, “After all, they can be considered children created by the Heavenly Dao. When the Heavenly Dao descends in the future, they won’t be on our side.”
He paused, then continued, “If you don’t hand me over, what do you think the Forbidden Lands will do within the Western Regions?”
Miao Yi Bodhisattva remained silent.
“The Forbidden Lands might think the Western Regions are also eyeing my Innate Celestial Furnace and regret their deal with them.”
“But if you hand me over to the Forbidden Lands, they will likely use my Innate Celestial Furnace to transcend,” Miao Yi Bodhisattva said slowly.
Mu Zhian smiled gently, “I have my own ways of dealing with that. You just need to follow the original agreement with the Forbidden Lands and hand me over, that’s enough.”
The appearance of the Heavenly Dao’s will had convinced Miao Yi Bodhisattva that the Heavenly Dao had a personality. At least, before the Heavenly Dao descended, the Western Regions wouldn’t secretly cause trouble for the Eastern Continent.
After all, they now had a common enemy.
Having reached a consensus with the Western Regions, Mu Zhian had also completed one of his missions, and his mood naturally relaxed.
He casually changed the subject and said, “The Innate Celestial Furnace Spiritual Energy Bodhisattva Miao Yi just received, was it of any help to you?”
Even Mu Zhian didn’t expect this Bodhisattva from the Western Regions to be more open-minded than he imagined, even using such a method to confirm whether his Innate Celestial Furnace could help someone transcend.
It’s a pity I couldn’t experience this female Bodhisattva’s lips a little longer…
Hearing Mu Zhian’s question, the female Bodhisattva didn’t answer, but glanced at the young man and said calmly, “The deal is set for two days later. If Benefactor Mu doesn’t mind, you can stay in Nalanda for these two days.”
She clearly didn’t want to dwell on the matter of the Innate Celestial Furnace.
Because even now, she was still silently reciting sutras, suppressing the temptation of the Innate Celestial Furnace.
Mu Zhian’s Innate Celestial Furnace had shown her the hope of Transcendence.
Although Miao Yi Bodhisattva had heard people in the Western Regions mention the Innate Celestial Furnace before, hearing about it was nothing like experiencing it.
Only after personally experiencing the wonders of the Innate Celestial Furnace could she understand why those Forbidden Zone Lords all wanted to obtain Mu Zhian.
Mu Zhian nodded gently.
He couldn’t leave the Western Regions now anyway. After all, he was currently a ‘captive’ of Miao Yi Bodhisattva, he couldn’t just openly wander around.
Miao Yi Bodhisattva then turned her gaze to the Heavenly Dao’s will, who had been silent all along.
Compared to the Buddhist light in the Western Regions, the light emanating from the woman formed by the Heavenly Dao’s will was clearly more majestic. Her long hair cascaded down, her expression cold, exuding a holy and unapproachable aura.
As if knowing what this female Bodhisattva wanted to say, Miss Heavenly Dao said calmly, “There’s no need to arrange a guest room for me. I won’t stay in the mortal world for too long, as it will disrupt the order of heaven and earth.”
As she spoke, she discreetly looked at the woman in white.
Damn it, I didn’t expect someone in the Western Regions to be after him… and a Bodhisattva at that.
This voice echoed directly in Miss Heavenly Dao’s mind, her tone filled with jealousy.
The voice of ‘Taboo’.
Although Miss Heavenly Dao didn’t say anything, she was clearly also displeased.
She looked at the female Bodhisattva with an expressionless face and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going back.”
The female Bodhisattva clasped her hands together and said respectfully, “Take care, Senior.”
After saying that, the female Bodhisattva’s gaze casually swept over the Valkyrie-like Heavenly Dao’s will.
Even now, Miao Yi Bodhisattva still had a doubt.
Why could Mu Zhian summon the Heavenly Dao’s will?
Logically, didn’t the Heavenly Dao’s will only descend when someone seriously violated the rules of heaven and earth?
However, it could also be that the Heavenly Dao’s will was dissatisfied with its ‘main body’ possessing a personality, which was why it descended upon the Nine Provinces.
After all, the one with a personality now was the Heavenly Dao, not the Heavenly Dao’s will.
Judging from the situation just now, the Heavenly Dao’s will’s aura hadn’t been ‘tainted’ at all, still incredibly holy.
As for the matter with Mu Zhian today, she needed to discuss it further with Manjushri Bodhisattva.
With the Buddha gone, the top combat power in the Western Regions was just her and Manjushri Bodhisattva.
It was just a pity that they couldn’t transcend yet. Otherwise, even if the Heavenly Dao descended in the future, perhaps they could still protect the Western Regions.
Just as Miao Yi Bodhisattva thought of this, her fingertips suddenly touched her rosy lips, and she faintly felt a slight burning sensation in her chest.
She gently placed her hand on her chest, as if feeling the trace of Spiritual Energy flowing within her body through the full bosom outlined by her white robes.
The Spiritual Energy of the Innate Celestial Furnace.
Just a trace of Spiritual Energy was enough to give her some insights.
What if she had more Innate Celestial Furnace Spiritual Energy?
No… I can’t have such thoughts!
Looking at the young man so close at hand, Miao Yi Bodhisattva snapped out of her daze. She clasped her hands together, recited a sutra, dispelling the thought of ‘desire’ that absolutely shouldn’t be in her heart.
But a lingering thought still swirled in her mind.
The Heavenly Dao’s descent was imminent. Only by transcending could she protect the Western Regions.
Was now really the time to maintain her Dao Heart?
But if she really did something with him, could she still be considered a Bodhisattva of the Western Regions…?
