Chapter 1 Western Paradise

Lu Changsheng was shocked by the words of the Buddha Mother.

He could leave whenever he wanted.

But Xuan Xin couldn't follow him.

The Buddha Mother's goal was Xuan Xin.

Xuan Xin was a Buddha child, a future Buddha Lord.

Lu Changsheng did not doubt the Buddha Mother's words.

Because at this point, he believed that the other party had no need to deceive him with words, nor would they use such words to deceive him.

This was the supreme Buddha Mother of the Western Paradise, an existence of supreme creation.

If the other party really wanted to keep him, why would she say such things.

Even the ancient God Realm and the Supreme Hall had left behind so many methods.

This was the Buddha Mother's Paradise; how could there be no means at all.

Regarding the Buddha Mother's words, Lu Changsheng speculated in his heart that the Buddha Mother must have seen something in Xuan Xin that would make her say such things.

This made him even more convinced of his guess that Xuan Xin would be the spirit of ten thousand Buddhas.

At the same time, Xuan Xin was stunned.

His whole being didn't react.

What was going on?

Why did the Buddha Mother appear too?

The master of the Western Paradise, the supreme Buddha Mother.

Were the trials in the illusion realm so awesome now?

But in an instant, Xuan Xin felt that this was not some trial illusion, but real.

The figure sitting on the Thirty-Sixth Grade Golden Lotus of Merit before his eyes was truly the supreme Buddha Mother.

And this handsome, peerless young man was truly Lu Changsheng.

Xuan Xin had a dreamlike, unreal feeling.

Since he knew what was going on, there were two choices before him: the Buddha Mother wanted him to stay in the Paradise.

The other was to leave with Lu Changsheng.

Xuan Xin didn't think much about it; even if it was really a test, an illusion, he would make such a choice.

"Xuan Xin greets the supreme Buddha Mother. This little monk's heart is not in the Paradise and is willing to leave with Shifu."

Xuan Xin put his hands together, bowed to the Buddha Mother, and said this.

Regarding what the Buddha Mother said about becoming a Buddha child in the Paradise, becoming a future Buddha Lord, Xuan Xin was a little tempted.

This was the Western Paradise, a place dreamed of by countless Buddhists.

But Lu Changsheng said to leave with him, so that little temptation was not worth mentioning; naturally, he chose to leave with Lu Changsheng.

In his heart, how could the Paradise compare to his Shifu, Lu Changsheng.

"Buddha Mother, Xuan Xin has a karmic connection with Buddha, but not necessarily with your Buddha."

Lu Changsheng's tone was calm as he spoke.

If Xuan Xin really wanted to stay in the Paradise, Lu Changsheng would not force him to leave with him.

At most, he would confirm whether Xuan Xin was really the spirit of ten thousand Buddhas he was looking for, let him go to the Supreme Hall with him, and unlock the secret.

The Buddha Mother looked at Lu Changsheng, then her gaze fell on Xuan Xin. After pondering for a moment, she said, "It is possible for the Benefactor to take this child away, but some things must be done."

The supreme Buddha Mother's tone was very calm, even very polite.

Lu Changsheng looked at the supreme Buddha Mother, not knowing what she meant, what she wanted him to do.

In this Paradise, if the supreme Buddha Mother took action to stop him, it would be very difficult for him to leave, let alone take Xuan Xin with him.

"Speak, what do I need to do to take Xuan Xin away?"

Lu Changsheng said this.

"Benefactor Lu, can you see these steps?"

The supreme Buddha Mother raised her head and pointed to the Stairway to the Other Shore beside her.

Lu Changsheng nodded.

"As long as Benefactor Lu walks through this Stairway to the Other Shore once, if you can ascend step by step, the Western Paradise will never be enemies with Benefactor Lu. Not only can the Benefactor take Xuan Xin away, but you can take anyone away from the Paradise, including Jin Xuanzi and the Mischief Monkey."

The supreme Buddha Mother said in a tone of voice, her expression dignified, sacred and holy.

This made Lu Changsheng frown slightly.

Not that it was too difficult, but in his opinion, the Buddha Mother's request was too simple.

As long as he walked through this Stairway to the Other Shore step by step, the Western Paradise would never be enemies with him. Not only could he take Xuan Xin away, but he could also take Jin Xuanzi and the Mischief Monkey.

In his life as Emperor Lu, he had walked countless steps, and the thing he feared least was climbing steps.

Regarding the Mischief Monkey mentioned by the Buddha Mother, he naturally knew who it was; it was his little brother, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, whom he had taken in when he first came to the Great Thousand World.

As for Jin Xuanzi, it must be Jiang Liuer.

Back in the Divine Stone Ridge, the supreme Buddha Mother took action and banished him, but took away Jiang Liuer and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

She didn't even take away the Red Karma Arhat, but she took away Jiang Liuer and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. The two were obviously not simple.

Now the other party said that as long as he finished the steps, he could take them all away.

"Alright."

Lu Changsheng didn't think much about it, his expression was calm, and he spat out a word.

"Then the Benefactor should rest and recuperate for a few days, and when it starts, chanting my name will suffice."

The Buddha Mother's expression was very calm, she nodded, and said this.

"No need, now is fine."

It was just walking a few steps, what was there to prepare?

No matter how difficult this step was, Lu Changsheng had confidence in it, absolute confidence.

"Amitabha, permissible."

Regarding this, the supreme Buddha Mother did not say much. With a wave of her hand, a lotus platform appeared under Lu Changsheng's feet, sending him down from the Paradise, in front of the Stairway to the Other Shore.

At this time, countless eminent monks and ancient Buddhas were standing under the Stairway to the Other Shore. They had all come because of Xuan Xin, watching Xuan Xin ascend the Stairway to the Other Shore.

"The Xuan Xin Holy Monk will return. He must have already ascended the Stairway to the Other Shore and entered the Paradise."

"With the Xuan Xin Holy Monk's Buddhist nature, he will definitely be able to ascend successfully."

"Paradise, I wonder if I will be able to walk on this stairway in my lifetime."

"Recently, following the Xuan Xin Holy Monk, I have gained some insight. I will definitely be able to obtain the qualifications to ascend the Stairway to the Other Shore soon!"

Many Buddhist cultivators looked at the Stairway to the Other Shore, feeling envious and yearning.

Suddenly, they saw a figure slowly appearing from the stairway.

The Stairway was filled with the light of Buddha, sacred and unparalleled.

But when this figure appeared, everyone was stunned. In an instant, the entire stairway, the entire heaven and earth, the entire world paled in comparison before him, turning into a background.

The figure was a peerless youth of eight feet tall, wearing a blue robe, standing on a lotus platform, handsome, peerless, and otherworldly.

Everyone was stunned.

As if they had lost their minds, they looked at Lu Changsheng, unable to imagine how there could be such a peerless youth coming down from the Stairway to the Other Shore in the Paradise.

The lotus platform fell, landing in front of the steps of the Stairway to the Other Shore.

Everyone looked at Lu Changsheng.

There was no way around it; after all, Lu Changsheng was too handsome, too handsome, and too extraordinary.

Moreover, standing on a lotus platform and coming down from the Stairway to the Other Shore, it was impossible not to be noticed.

Lu Changsheng was used to this kind of gaze.

After all, when you are handsome, it is like this wherever you go.

He just looked up at the Stairway to the Other Shore.

"Since that's the case, then let me see what difficulties this Stairway to the Other Shore has."

Lu Changsheng muttered to himself, his figure tall and straight, and he took a step, walking onto a step of the Stairway to the Other Shore.

In an instant, countless people's gazes were fixed on Lu Changsheng, looking at Lu Changsheng, wanting to know what he was going to do.

After all, such an extraordinary person coming down from the stairway had already attracted everyone's attention.

And after being sent down from above by the lotus platform, he was going to walk up on foot again, so naturally he would be noticed.

Many people were waiting, waiting to see what kind of vision would appear.

Lu Changsheng walked onto the Stairway to the Other Shore, appearing very calm. When he took the second step, a gust of breeze blew, causing him to close his eyes.

Everyone was attracted by Lu Changsheng's actions, wanting to know what was going on.

Why did he stop at the second step?

Everything seemed very quiet, as if heaven and earth had solidified, with only a peerless, elegant, and handsome youth.
