“The time of the Supreme Path’s appearance is not fixed, but it’s at least several million years apart. For an Emperor, it’s too long to wait. To await the Supreme Path’s arrival, one must seal themselves off and wait for the opportune moment. That’s why various forbidden areas have emerged, where top experts have secluded themselves, paying no attention to the affairs of the Immortal Plane,” Monk Fayin explained.
“That’s why there are so few experts in such a vast Immortal Plane. They’re all waiting for the Supreme Path,” Li Qingshan’s many doubts were now resolved. His understanding had elevated, no longer limited to the Immortal Plane but extending to the universe.
“When exactly does the Supreme Path appear?” Li Qingshan asked the crucial question.
“I don’t know,” Monk Fayin shook his head.
“You don’t?” Li Qingshan looked at Monk Fayin in astonishment.
“I only know that the Supreme Path is about to appear, but I don’t know the exact time. It could be in a hundred thousand years, a million years, or even two million years. It’s roughly within this range,” Monk Fayin vaguely stated.
“If it’s delayed for two million years, you could still live into your fifth life,” Li Qingshan said.
“No, living into my fourth life already relied on Amitabha’s light. It’s difficult enough to live into my second life relying on myself. There’s no hope for a fifth life. That’s why I hope the Supreme Path will appear in about a million years. Then I can make a desperate attempt,” Monk Fayin waved his hand, and the world, the universe, and the stars disappeared. Li Qingshan’s primordial spirit returned to his body, looking at the temple, the stone benches, and the old monk.
“Senior, why did you tell me all this?” Li Qingshan asked, puzzled.
“The reincarnation of Flower Immortal, Hua Yun, has a deep connection with you. Naturally, you’re worth my trust. I’ve been guarding Flower Immortal for millions of years, hoping she’ll come back to life. If you truly find Hua Yun, please bring her to me so I can check her,” Monk Fayin pleaded.
In his heart, he already regarded Hua Yun and Flower Immortal as the same person.
Upon hearing Li Qingshan’s quest to find Hua Yun, Monk Fayin felt excited inside. After so many years of guarding, his efforts were finally showing results.
“Alright,” Li Qingshan agreed directly.
“But right now, I can’t find her. I thought I would have some success coming to the Western Lands this time, but now it seems there’s no hope. The biggest gain is meeting Senior, and resolving the doubts in my heart,” Li Qingshan said with a bitter smile.
“Everything follows fate. Hua Yun is the reincarnation of Flower Immortal. If she awakens her memories, she must be regaining her strength now. It’s normal that you can’t find her. At worst, you’ll have to wait until the Supreme Path appears. She will definitely head to the Supreme Path, and you’ll meet her,” Monk Fayin tried to reassure Li Qingshan.
“Senior, how can I improve my strength?” Li Qingshan asked.
“Continue on your path. You’re already a legend in the Immortal Plane. Your path is yours alone, and no one can interfere. Stick to your path. You’re much more of a genius than I am. I’ve lived a few more years, but I can’t guide you,” Monk Fayin shook his head, refusing to advise Li Qingshan directly.
“But we can discuss the Path. I can share with you the Rules I’ve comprehended, and we can debate them,” Monk Fayin changed the subject with a smile.
“I’d be delighted!” Li Qingshan’s eyes lit up, knowing that Monk Fayin was indirectly guiding him by sharing his comprehended rules with him.
Li Qingshan assumed the role of a student and engaged in a Dao debate with Monk Fayin.
