At the Above Immortal Realm.

The Tianyuan Immortal Town.

The Above Immortal Realm was different from the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm mainly had ordinary people. Therefore, their major towns would rely on kingdoms, sects, or cultivation families to stop the demons.

On the other hand, the Above Immortal Realm did not need to worry about that. They had locals, too, but a lot of them were cultivators. Some of them were as powerful as some Immortals. Moreover, everyone at the Above Immortal Realm was not weak so they did not want to rely on sects. There were a lot of solo cultivators, too.

A lot of towns in the Above Immortal Realm had a mixture of ordinary people and Immortals. No sane demons would attack the towns.

Thus, people from the towns did not need to rely on other forces. Some towns were even better than some sects in the Above Immortal Realm. Towns were nice places for Immortals to gather and hang out.

The Tianyuan Immortal Town was busy in the Above Immortal Realm. There were clouds above the town and in the marketplace. Various Immortals rode on clouds. They called their friends, and they came and went.

From afar, an elegant lady rode in on a pink cloud slowly.

She walked into the Tianyuan Immortal Town and looked around. She said, “The Above Immortal Realm is gradually looking like the Immortal Realm.”

There were few ordinary people in the Above Immortal Realm. They would not live for long but they could give birth. Ordinary people would increase as time pa.s.sed. Sooner or later, they would surpa.s.s the number of cultivators.

“No wonder ordinary people can own Luck from the mundane humans. They're the base species.”

The lady walked along the streets of the Tianyan Immortal Town. She felt nervous and held on tight to what she was holding. She soon reached the black market.

The black market was a place for Immortals to trade items. All the stall owners were at least from the Tian Immortal Realm. It did not matter if one was rich. One just needed to have a unique item.

She looked at the stalls with disappointment in her eyes.

Then, she looked around the black market. She seemed to be hesitating.

“I gained too much from my descendants. How unlike an ancestor.” She sighed slowly, her eyes glimmering. “Who would've thought that I'd have to rely on my descendants for help. I held them back. This time, I have to redeem myself!”

She looked determined. She walked into the depths of the black market.

“It's nice that my descendants are so exceptional. They were fortunate enough to befriend a G.o.dly expert. The opportunity's right in front of us. As their ancestor, I have to do my best for them! At the same time, this is also my big break. As a cultivator, I must seize opportunities and dare to take risks!”

Soon, she was at a store.

It was dark inside the store. There were no lights at all. It would not affect the vision of an Immortal but it was still creepy.

The lady calmed herself down and wore a mask. She walked in slowly.

The gentle breeze blew the curtains of the store. A voice could be heard all of a sudden, “Have you traded anything here before?”

“No.”

“Did you bring an item?”

“I did.”

The lady raised her hand and out came an egg and a small jar of honey.

“Huh?”

A hunchbacked old man slowly walked out from the dark.

He stared at the egg and the jar of honey for a long time. Then, he looked at the lady in shock.

“An egg from a Firefinch Demon and honey from Golden Bees. Rare items indeed!” He groaned for a moment. Then, he smiled and asked, “I'll take the deal. What do you want to trade it with?”

The lady suppressed her anxiety. She asked, “Do you have any unique Spiritual Items?”

“Unique Spiritual Items?” The elder thought about it then raised his hand. A snow-white long sword appeared out of thin air. It was glimmering with Immortal Qi. “This sword is known as the Sky Pierce Sword. It's a Deluxe Spiritual Treasure but its power is better than usual Deluxe Spiritual Treasures. This sword can slay Immortals!”

The lady clenched her fists after hearing that. She tried her best to control her heartbeat and said calmly, “I don't need weapons. It's best if it's a Spiritual Item from the eldritch secret borders.”

“Spiritual Items from eldritch eras? These aren't enough for that.” The old man chuckled. “Everyone knows that Immortal Items are mostly weapons. Spiritual Items are rarer than weapons. Spiritual Items from the eldritch eras are even rarer and more precious.”

He stared at the lady. Suddenly, he grew suspicious. He said, “Tell me more about these two items. I won't even need them and I'll give you this sword for free!”

The lady jumped. She took a deep breath and said, “I coincidentally got these two items. It's fine if I can't trade them.”

She wanted to turn around and leave.

“Wait, cultivator.”

The old man quickly stopped her. He still looked friendly when he said, “It can still be traded. I have a Spiritual Item. It's an Immortal Relic from the eldritch eras. However, it has some sort of spell on it. n.o.body seems to be able to open it. If you're interested, I can make a trade.”

The lady stopped in her tracks. “What is it?”

The old man flicked his wrist and out came a small vermillion box. The box was round with a gap in the middle, made up of two halves of a sphere. It was unclear what was in it.

A weird aura was emitting from the box. However, it was too antique for her to detect what it was.

“I'll accept the trade!” The lady immediately nodded. She sounded slightly chirpy.

Then, she left in a hurry.

The old man was thinking in the dark. He said, “An egg from a Firefinch Demon, honey from Golden Bees. These two items are too hard to get. How could a Beginner Immortal own them? She must have some secrets. I should get someone to follow her. Also, though we can't open the box, it's not an item to simply give away. It's time for necessary action.”

At the Fallen Immortal Mountain.

A s.e.xy figure slowly appeared.

She had the face of an angel and the body of a demon. She was tall, slim, and attractive. It was Yuecha.

She looked at the mountain and frowned. Her mind was somewhere else.

“According to the senses of my figure, the expert should be on this mountain.” She groaned for a moment and slowly walked uphill.

She fell into deep thought as she walked. She looked like she was hesitating.

Since the last fight with Backo and Amon, she realized the fatal flaw in cultivation. The same attack.

She realized she only knew how to perform the Heavenly Dragon attack. It was a powerful move but it was uncool to use the same move all the time.

1

That was why she failed to kill Backo and Amon. They also made fun of her.

1

It was not supposed to be that way for powerful Immortals.

She kept thinking about it but had no new understanding.

Not until a while ago when she heard the story of 'Journey to the West' at a lousy inn.

She was deeply intrigued by the Buddha, the Guanyin, and the other cultivation disciples. The journey of the Monk and his disciples made her skin crawl. She was emotional and inspired.

She felt the kind of joy one would get from seeing light on a lost path.

That was how Buddhism was supposed to be!

There was truth in Buddhism!

Women in Buddhism were known as Tara.

1

She heard from a lot of sources and found out that 'Journey to the West' originated from the Fallen Town. The expert lived near the Fallen Town so she had a strong feeling that 'Journey to the West' was created by the expert.

Therefore, she was determined to seek the expert. She wanted to be a Buddhist!

1

The mountain path was quiet and curvy with no obstacles. However, she was not calm at all. She was very nervous.

Could she see the Truth? Could she pursue Buddhism?

She was excited, nervous, and thrilled at the same time.

Suddenly, she looked up and saw three figures in her way.

Gu Yuan, Payne, and Ding Xiaozhu were slightly taken aback. They were discussing if they should pa.s.s the painting of the Lord Immortal to the expert. Then, they unexpectedly ran into a demon.

Payne was instantly threatened. He glared and said, “Demons dare to cause trouble for the expert? You must die!”

He overreacted because he wanted to help the expert. He was ready to attack.

Gu Yuan quickly stopped him, “Hold on, Sect Master. This is the Lord Yuecha that I told you about.”

“Oh?”

Payne was slightly surprised. “She's the demon spy?”

Clearly, Gu Yuan had already told them about what happened at the Azure Ville.

Ding Xiaozhu tugged on Gu Yuan and said in a low voice, “Since she's the spy planned by the expert, we can't attack her!”

“Amitabha.” Yuecha took out a shawl and wore it. “I have renamed myself. I'm no longer Lord Yuecha. Please, refer to me as a Tara. Greetings to the four of you.”

Gu Yuan and the others quickly saluted, “Greetings to Tara Yuecha. Did you come here to visit the expert, too?”

“Yeah, I came to ask for the Truth. To learn about Buddha Sanzang and preach Buddhism,” Yuecha nodded. Then, she asked, “Did you know 'Journey to the West' was created by the expert?”

Gu Yuan nodded and said quietly, “Yes, it is indeed the story of the expert. But our guess is that the story happened during the eldritch eras.”

“I see! Great minds think alike,” Yuecha nodded. “The world has many powerful transcendent beings. They've lived countless eons and experienced countless changes and events. How can the stories they tell be mere fiction? It was a real-life experience for sure!”

Payne asked curiously, “Tara Yuecha, you used to be with the Demons. Do you know if the vanis.h.i.+ng of Buddhism has anything to do with the Demons?”

“Must be,” Yuecha nodded. “But I'm not sure what happened exactly. I joined the Lord Demon G.o.d after the big tribulation.”

Payne nodded. “I'm afraid we can only ask the expert if we want to find out why.”

Yuecha looked at them and suddenly invited them, “Everyone, Buddhism used to be a big religion, blessed and protected by Luck and Spiritual Qi. Now that Buddhism's dying, we have no strong members. If you want to join Buddhism, you'd be the founders of the Buddhism sect. Let's make Buddhism great again. Your status will rise, too. Wouldn't it be nice to have the t.i.tle of a Tara or a Lord?”

1

Gu Yuan and the others were surprised. They could only smile awkwardly and say, “Ha, thanks for the generosity, Tara Yuecha. But no thanks.”

“Amitabha, don't go. You have a predestined fate with the Buddha. Why not reconsider it?”
