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!" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
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?"
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.
