The monks accompanied by hallowed hymns were a sight to behold. They seemed to be leading Buddha back to the mortal world to deliver peace and salvation.
“Pure Land is joining this as well?” A dao lord understood that these were the greatest monks from that region. Regular monks didn’t possess these visual phenomena.
Pure Land was one of the seven great powers in the upper continents, perhaps the oldest.
The four alliances were relatively young and their history was known. As for Pure Land, it was rumored to have been around before the six continents. Some said that it dates back to the previous epoch.
Thus, little was known about its history and origin. Its power was also incalculable as well since it focused on salvation and spreading Buddhism. It didn’t participate in the struggle between The People and The Race since everyone was considered equal.
Because of this neutral stance, it had never displayed its true power and resources before. Nonetheless, most historians considered Pure Land to be stronger than any single alliance. Therefore, apex cultivators exercised restraint whenever they visited Pure Land.
In fact, Pure Land remained standing even during the perilous eras when Celestial Court reigned unchecked. The latter never provoked Pure Land previously - a testament to its power.
Legend told the tales of wondrous cultivators of Buddhism living there. They possessed powers and abilities beyond imagination.
Some went as far as saying that if Pure Land wanted to be in the immortal continent, it would be equal to Celestial Court, Immortal Dao City, and Imperial Field.
The magnificent spectacle resulted in the entrance of an otherworldly woman. She wore a Buddhist robe and an ancient crown while possessing a noble aura accentuated by the Buddhist affinity. This was a rare combination but it manifested flawlessly around her.
With just one glance, one would think of her as a supreme ruler in charge of countless beings. Of course, this wasn’t a rare sight because conquerors and dao lords would have something similar.
However, her Buddhist light and halos made her look like a natural-born Buddhist, destined to be enlightened. Who knows if this aura was innate or fostered by her profound knowledge of Buddhism? Either way, as she walked across the bridge, the two different affinities existed in harmony and caused others to gasp in astonishment.
An emperor reigned in the mortal world while a Buddhist transcended the mortal coil. These two paths typically ran counter to each other yet she managed to achieve something remarkable.
“Jilin Buddhist Emperor!” Someone immediately recognized her.
