Gu Xiaosang conferred with Tao Yu on her plan to replace Maitreya and harness Amitabha's power against the Golden Emperor, securing his support and protection from Vacuum Home interference. Departing with the Overlord’s Absolute Blade, she interrupted a novice monk's recruitment of villagers into the Earthly Buddha Country. With a cold snort and a decisive slash, Gu Xiaosang tore open the void and boldly entered the Buddha Country alone.

The ideal circumstances for the Earthly Buddha Country were meant to unfold in the human domain of the True Realm, so Maitreya's reincarnation picked Zhao Qian, the ex-Crown Prince from the fallen dynasty.

Yet Tao Yu, the reigning Human Emperor, ascended with shocking speed, instantly stripping away any foundation for the Earthly Buddha Country's expansion.

Thus, they resorted to the Pure Land techniques from the Jiezhi World to scarcely assemble a miniature Earthly Buddha Country.

Novice monks alongside those from the Buddhas’ Pure Lands got shifted there to fill the ranks, while preaching tactics drew in some ordinary folk at the same time.

Still, inside the Earthly Buddha Country, an air of solemn grandeur prevailed, with crystalline Buddhist radiance everywhere, Brahma chants resounding through the skies, and Buddhist recitations filling every corner.

Stepping inside felt like it could wash away all worldly burdens from one's mind, abandoning the chaos of mortal life.

In everyone's heart lingered solely the Buddha, with thoughts fixed only on the Buddha, embracing nothing but ’emptiness’.

Meng Qi stormed into the Earthly Buddha Country wielding the Overlord’s Absolute Blade, and even nearing the Creation realm after devouring countless Dao Marks, he let out a cold snort at the sight.

"So, it’s all about granting every desire and wiping out all cravings. With no seven emotions and six desires left, wishes vanish naturally!"

Without desires, aren’t all wishes already met?

Alternatively, today’s desires had been molded into the act of chanting to Buddha!

All that answered Meng Qi were the endless Brahma chants surrounding him.

"Amitabha..."

Waves of layered chants surged forth, bearing down on Meng Qi.

However, Meng Qi hailed from Shaolin himself, his Buddhist practice having already cut off the three corpses via True Determination Tathagata, and fused with the depths of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skill, he repelled Buddhist might using Buddhist might in return.

The Earthly Buddha Country’s usual dominance over other powers held zero sway over Meng Qi!

"Brother Su Meng, you and I share the deepest ties, more alike than anyone—why must it end like this..."

Zhao Qian, the discarded Crown Prince of Great Jin, had transformed utterly, his features radiating a Zen tranquility that pierced all illusions. Even as Meng Qi invaded his Buddha Country, he stayed utterly unmoved, as though nothing worldly could stir him.

"The same kind? You dare claim that?!"

Meng Qi burst into wild laughter, embodying pure untamed ferocity.

For Little Sang’s sake alone, Meng Qi felt no respect for Zhao Qian’s present condition.

Stripping away desires, eliminating the seven emotions and six desires prior to granting wishes.

How does this differ from famishing a person to death before tossing them a crumb?

Until one eats one’s fill, the sole craving is for satiation; only afterward do other urges arise!

Indeed, bolstered by the Primordial True Inheritance and grounded in the Dao Yi Seal, Meng Qi’s strength proved staggeringly formidable; Zhao Qian, Maitreya’s incarnation holding home-field advantage in the Earthly Buddha Country, found himself helpless, utterly overwhelmed by Meng Qi and his Overlord’s Absolute Blade.

Nevertheless, Maitreya, crafted by Amitabha as a key path to emptiness via diminishment, wouldn’t be forsaken lightly, with layers of backup plans ready.

A glow emerged, reviving Ran Deng—who Bodhi had earlier rescued—right within the Earthly Buddha Country.

"Heh heh, benefactor shares a karma with this poor monk..."

Ran Deng materialized clutching a lotus, directing it straight at Meng Qi.

Having reached Creation Perfection, Ran Deng aimed to refine his Illusory Dao Fruit into the nascent Other Shore form, requiring the Cause of All Fruits above all!

His prior betrayal of the Chan Sect stemmed chiefly from Yuanshi Tianzun declaring the Cause of All Fruits wasn’t his to claim!

Meng Qi never foresaw Ran Deng bursting from the Earthly Buddha Country after losing the Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearl and getting sidelined like roadside trash.

Evidently, post-rescue by Bodhi, he’d been harbored in the Earthly Buddha Country for recovery and replenishment!

Ran Deng excelled in causality and grasped Heavenly Secrets, yet detected nothing before striking!

At this instant, with myriad Three Pure Ones imprints merged, Meng Qi’s might soared like a shooting star, rivaling standard Creation experts.

Still, gaps within Creation loomed insurmountably huge!

The Green Emperor’s mount, the Nine-headed Primordial Saint, stood at Creation Perfection, strong enough to seal the Nine Nether gates.

Ran Deng’s pre-Dao gap to the Green Emperor wasn’t vast; he merely needed the Cause of All Fruits to seize his Other Shore chance!

With Ran Deng’s move, fiery sparks ignited; Meng Qi’s every shift and oddity swiftly crumpled inward, fueling Ran Deng’s growth.

He appeared set to outright consume Meng Qi, seizing this Cause of All Fruits directly!

"Here in the Earthly Buddha Country, beyond the Human Dao Dynasty’s bounds—even your Human Emperor ally can’t reach you soon enough."

Ran Deng smirked faintly, inner excitement bubbling.

His long-dreamed prize lay tantalizingly close at last!

Securing the Cause of All Fruits, then attaining the Other Shore shielded by the Western Two Saints, would force the Human Emperor to settle his debts!

Thinking back to his roadside-dog humiliation, with the twenty-four Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls ripped away, Ran Deng nearly birthed heart demons.

Right as his assault engulfed Meng Qi’s every change and poised to incinerate it all via sheer dominance, the Earthly Buddha Country’s realm shuddered fiercely.

Beams of golden light forced entry through surrounding fissures.

What ought to embody Human Dao’s vast, upright splendor now warped like pliable sludge, thrusting into every available crevice.

This stirred Ran Deng’s dread memory of his Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearl swallowed by that freakish Human Dao Power.

"It seems I hear someone calling me."

As the thick Human Dao Power oozed inward, Tao Yu’s voice reverberated across the Earthly Buddha Country’s domain.
