Chapter 2009: Chapter 2010: The Current State of Earth
Guan Zizai trembled all over, then lowered his head in contemplation and fell silent.
At the same time, the high platform in front began to tremble slightly, and then collapsed into endless glowing dust without a sound.
Everyone was shaken.
It was at this moment, amidst this radiant dust, Xue An emerged, his whole being brilliant in light, with a towering Buddha statue appearing behind him.
"Master Bodhi!"
All the monks, upon seeing this Buddha statue, kneeled to the ground, shouting excitedly.
Guan Zizai, Maitreya, and others also bowed, "Greetings to Master!"
Master Bodhi nodded slightly and then said with supreme authority, "As Maitreya said, the Red Lotus Immortal Venerable has inherited the lineage of the World-Honored One and is the new Sect Hierarch of the Pure Land Buddhist Country!"
The monks rejoiced and praised, clasping their hands in homage to Xue An.
"Greetings Sect Hierarch!"
Maitreya’s face gradually turned excited.
As expected, Master Bodhi continued, "Not only that, now I appoint the Red Lotus Immortal Venerable as your root master, his words shall be my decree, and cannot be defied, understood?"
With these words.
The monks were astonished.
Nobody expected Master Bodhi to suddenly make such a decision.
Only Maitreya was infinitely delighted, putting his palms together and bowing deeply.
"Namo Master, well done, well done!"
Although there were countless doubts in their hearts, since it was the word of Master Bodhi, these monks also nodded unanimously after a slight hesitation.
"Disciple understands!"
"Very good, then next..." Master Bodhi suddenly shouted, "Red Lotus Immortal Venerable!"
Xue An said calmly, "Here!"
"Receive my decree!"
After speaking, Master Bodhi extended his mountain-like golden palm, covering Xue An’s head.
Countless beams of golden light rained down, permeating into Xue An’s body.
Xue An’s entire demeanor also began to rise step by step.
Finally, when all the golden light had dissipated, Master Bodhi had vanished while Xue An slowly opened his eyes.
Boom!
The entire Altar City trembled, and all the monks felt an overwhelming might descend upon them, causing them to bow their heads deeply.
Xue An surveyed everyone present and finally spoke slowly, "This realm is now under my control, you need to follow my orders, those who disobey will be punished without mercy, understood?"
The killing intent in his words filled the monks with agitation, and any hidden thoughts in some people’s hearts were dispelled, shouting in unison, "We understand!"
"Very good!"
Xue An nodded, then turned his gaze to Maitreya standing at the forefront of the crowd.
"Maitreya!"
"Disciple is here!" Maitreya stepped forward excitedly.
"I command you to immediately lead the experts of the two realms of Womb Realm and Vajra, and take this Altar City to the Pure Land Buddhist Country, positioning layers of defenses there without fail!"
"Disciple understands!" Maitreya responded respectfully.
He then looked up with a confused expression and asked, "Sect Hierarch, aren’t you coming back with us?"
"Me? Not returning for now." Xue An shook his head, "Because I have something else I need to do!"
Maitreya wanted to ask what it was, but seeing Xue An’s expression, he swallowed his words.
"You all go, I shall return to the Pure Land Buddhist Country in three to six months at most!"
With that, Xue An flung his sleeves and soared into the sky, disappearing into the firmament in the blink of an eye.
Maitreya gazed deeply in the direction Xue An left, and finally turned to look at Guan Zizai and the others.
"The Master has already ordered, time is of the essence, we must depart immediately for... the Pure Land Buddhist Country!"
"Yes!" The monks responded thunderously, then quickly set into motion.
A moment later, the Altar City suddenly began to change shape, finally transforming into a lotus flower about to bloom, disappearing into the boundless void at incredible speed.
Meanwhile, as the monks of the Esoteric Sect headed to the Pure Land Buddhist Country, Xue An had also left the depths of the Starry Sea, speeding toward a certain direction like a shooting star.
Finally.
After several days of long-distance travel, a faint silhouette of a... blue planet appeared in the void ahead.
It was Earth!
At this moment, Earth had taken on a new appearance.
Bathed in dazzling light, countless streams of Spiritual Energy gushed forth, forming massive Spiritual Springs, stretching tens of thousands of miles at the top, then falling back to form breathtaking arcs of Spiritual Energy.
Xue An stood before Earth, his gaze like a sword sweeping across it, seeing layers of Arrays tightly enveloping the entire planet, with the Heavenly Dao Laws as vast as the sea. Clearly, during Xue An’s absence, Earth had undergone significant development.
Xue An squinted slightly, then leapt into a beam of golden light, silently merging into the Array, disappearing without a trace.
Beijiang.
After years of development, this city had already become one of the top metropolises in the entire Huaguo and even the world.
Towering skyscrapers reaching thousands of meters rose from the ground, with countless walkways connecting them, forming a web-like aerial traffic network.
The streets were teeming with people, including many cultivators full of Spirit.
The roadside martial arts schools were lined up one after another, occasionally ringing with uniform shouts of practice.
Amidst this bustling street, no one noticed a youth dressed in white suddenly appeared among the crowd.
Xue An walked down the street, looking at the myriad of new and intriguing things, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
No matter how many places he had visited, only Earth could give him this strong sense of worldly presence.
Xue An was in no hurry to find Tang Xuan’er and the rest, instead, he walked down the street with keen interest.
Though his absence wasn’t long, the entire Earth had significantly changed.
He wanted to observe everything as a bystander before deciding whether to proceed with the idea in his heart.
Soon, Xue An wandered over to a park. When he looked up and saw the park’s name, he couldn’t help but chuckle silently.
Unexpectedly, while strolling, he came to this place.
This was where, back when Xue An was just an ordinary man, he would frequently visit with An Yan.
It was also the first stop upon Xue An’s rebirth.
Now this park was much more lively than before.
Many students in martial arts uniforms lined up at the park’s entrance with reverence, looking as if they were there on a pilgrimage.
Xue An was slightly taken aback, but said nothing, instead following the students into the park.
Upon stepping inside, Xue An discovered that the park had not changed at all; everything was as it always had been.
Except for one thing by the small lake—a statue.
A statue of a valiant-looking man.
