The Hedao Realm man faintly froze when he heard Ning Cheng’s words, and then he nodded, “Not bad, come with me. With your merits, even if you get some chance to cross over to the second step, it won’t be a difficult task.”
He understood Ning Cheng’s thoughts, and it was best for Ning Cheng to choose this way. If Ning Cheng could bring Yu Qing to meet Venerable Joy alone, then naturally he would be favoured by Venerable Joy. But since such an opportunity had arisen in the Ecliptic Buddha Kingdom, then the main credit would not be Ning Cheng’s, but the Ecliptic Buddha Kingdom Lord’s. With such a choice, Ning Cheng not only saved a life, but also received some of the benefits.
Ning Cheng and Yu Qing were both third-step powerhouses, and their Dao rhythms around them had long since formed their own rule aura, so even if they were in the late stages of Dao Harmony, it would be difficult to tell Ning Cheng and Yu Qing’s true realm, not to mention that they had just entered Dao Harmony. To this Man of Harmony, that was a first-step existence.
“May I ask fellow Daoist, I have heard of Venerable Huanxi for a long time, I wonder which star continent does Venerable Huanxi live in?” Ning Cheng asked casually.
The Daoist man grunted, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, with a realm like yours, even if you knew, what would happen? Can you meet Venerable Huanxi?”
Ning Cheng smiled lightly and did not speak nonsense. He just had to make a move, and he had to inquire about Cang Wei’s movements first. And before that, he could not alert the snake. If it wasn’t for Cang Wei, Ning Cheng would have already taken this State Lord out and forced him to ask questions, and then just beat him up.
With only an incense stick of time, Ning Cheng and Yu Qing were brought into a palace of plastic gold.
The Witch Emperor’s Palace was considered one of the three greatest treasures of the Witch Clan, but the luxuries in it were nothing compared to this palace in the Eclipsed Tong Buddha Kingdom, which was nothing more than a straw hut.
The palace was bursting with Sanskrit sounds, the whole palace was wrapped in extreme refinement gold, and a statue of Buddha was on either side of the palace. A few thick incense stalks were burning, and a rich aura of Buddha’s dao pervaded the palace.
At the top of the palace sits a man in Buddhist robes, with a square face and a golden face, his powerful aura unmistakable.
“The cultivation levels of the two daoists ……” The Buddha-robed man was originally sitting at the end of his seat, but stood up as soon as he saw Ning Cheng and Yu Qing. He was different from that Daoist man, he could see that Ning Cheng and Yu Qing’s strength was not simple. He was still not sure about Ning Cheng’s strength, but Yu Qing would definitely not be weaker than him.
Ning Cheng also did not expect that a Buddhist kingdom’s lord had already crossed into the third step, even though it was a pseudo realm, which was still very uncomplicated.
After sensing Ning Cheng and Yu Qing’s powerful strength, the country lord in Buddhist robes knew that Ning Cheng and Yu Qing had come, not because they were afraid of him as the country lord, but definitely because of something else. He then walked down and said with a cupped fist, “I have yet to ask the two Daoists their honorable names?”
Ning Cheng also clasped his fist and said, “The country lord can just address me directly as Ning Cheng. I was passing through the Ecliptic Buddha Kingdom and felt that the Buddhist Dao was flourishing here, so I came to pay a special visit.”
Seeing that Ning Cheng did not introduce Yu Qing, this country lord became more and more certain that Ning Cheng’s strength was still above Yu Qing’s, “Fellow Daoist Ning is very kind, my Etched Tong Buddhist Kingdom is not insignificant among the Western Buddhist Kingdoms. To be favoured by Daoist Friend Ning is truly a matter of great joy, if Daoist Friend Ning doesn’t mind just call me Sia.”
In any place, the strongest was always the most respected. If Ning Cheng and Yu Qing really hadn’t even crossed the second step, the Lord of the Etched Buddha Kingdom would at most meet Yu Qing to see how he really was. If Yu Qing was indeed good, he would have given some benefits to Ning Cheng to get rid of him and simply take Yu Qing away. Now that Ning Cheng was so strong, so strong that he couldn’t even see it, how could he dare to mention the matter of Yu Qing?
Even if Ning Cheng were to bring Yu Qing to visit Venerable Joy, it would have nothing to do with him anymore.
“Since the two Daoists have come a long way, why don’t we go to the Guest Hall together, it would really be a bit of a snub here.” With these words, Xiya was trying to befriend Ning Cheng.
Ning Cheng smiled, “Then, thank you very much Dao Friend Xiya.”
Coming to this place was originally to inquire about things, so Ning Cheng naturally would not refuse the invitation from the Lord of the Eclipsed Tong Buddha Kingdom.
……
Xiya brought Ning Cheng and Yu Qing to the guest hall and personally accompanied them.
Compared to the palace of the Ecliptic Buddha Kingdom, which was all built with extreme refinement gold, this guest palace was the one that truly seemed low-key. There was no Buddhist rhythm surrounding it, nor was there any kind of Sanskrit aura of wishfulness. It was an ordinary meeting place for guests.
“The guests who have come here are all my best friends from Siasia.” After greeting Ning Cheng and Yu Qing and sitting down, Xiya took the initiative to pour spirit tea for the two of them.
Ning Cheng could tell that this Etched Buddha Kingdom’s State Lord’s guest hall was definitely not this one, and the reason why he had brought him and Yu Qing here was that he really wanted to make friends with him. It looked like this country lord could not see through his strength and that was why he wanted to make friends.
Ning Cheng did not refuse this, it was his first contact with the Etched Buddha Kingdom Lord, and he felt that this person was not really annoying. What’s more, he still had many things to ask this State Lord for advice.
“If we can sit here, we are naturally friends. I have purposely come to visit the State Lord, and actually have a few things to ask for advice.” Ning Cheng lifted his cup of tea and took a sip, meaning that he had made a friend in Siasia.
Xiaya was overjoyed and also lifted his cup of tea and took a sip before saying, “If Brother Ning has anything to say, as long as I can help, I will definitely do so.”
Just as Ning Cheng saw him as someone he could make friends with, he also felt that Ning Cheng was a friend that he could make friends with. He had great strength, but was not arrogant. What he lacked most in the Etched Tong Buddhist Kingdom was a friend with such great strength, and as Ning Cheng did not seem to be a member of the Buddhist Dao, it would be an even greater joy if he could lure Ning Cheng into the Buddhist Dao.
“I heard that there is an additional venerable person under the Holy Buddha’s throne? Called Venerable Sakura?” Ning Cheng asked directly.
Xiya subconsciously glanced at Yu Qing as he roughly understood Ning Cheng’s meaning. Ning Cheng was trying to bring this woman to meet the Holy Buddha directly, trying to become the next Sakura Venerable. Indeed, meeting the Holy Buddha directly was much stronger than meeting the Venerable Huanxi. In Siasia’s heart, this woman was even better than the Sacred Venerable Primrose. It was just that the Holy Buddha was different from the Jubilant Venerable under his throne, and the Sakura Holy Venerable had not become a Holy Venerable under the Holy Buddha by virtue of the woman’s sexuality.
“Fellow Daoist Ning, Saint Venerable Sakura was originally from the Five Elements Universe, and had only been in my Western Universe for tens of thousands of years before she had achieved Saint Venerable status through her qualifications and her perception of the Buddha Dao. Even in my Western Universe, there are not many of them. In the Brahma Great World, the status of a Saint Venerable is above that of a Venerable.”
This was something Ning Cheng understood, that was, the Sakura Sovereign did not rely on just his beauty, he relied on his qualifications and his comprehension of the Dao of Buddhism.
Ning Cheng was even more satisfied that Siasia could say such words, it showed that Siasia was sincere in befriending him, otherwise, he would have said that Yu Qing’s beauty would definitely be favoured by the Holy Buddha. At the same time Ning Cheng also made a note of a Brahma World, this place should be the world where the Qu Bodh Holy Buddha was.
“So that’s how it is, then did Saint Sakura come to the Western Universe alone?” This was the question that Ning Cheng wanted to ask the most.
Xiya was not overly concerned, “I heard that Saint Sakura was chasing after one person before coming here. At that time, the Sakura Saint Venerable was chasing him beyond my Eclipsed Buddha Kingdom, when it happened that Venerable Huanxi was passing by. He stopped Saint Venerable Sakura and persuaded Saint Venerable Sakura to put down his butcher’s knife and become a Buddha ……”
Yu Qing couldn’t help but say, “I think it was just that Venerable Huanxi had taken a fancy to that woman and wanted to plot.”
She did not believe that a monk who scoured the world for women would have such good intentions.
Xiya frowned slightly, Venerable Joyful Man’s enlightenment of the Joyful Buddha Dao was originally a branch of the Buddhist Dao, what did this have to do with looking at or not looking at scheming? As a woman, which one of them did not long to be able to enlighten the Joyful Buddha Dao with the Joyful Djinn?
But instead of explaining anything, she continued, “Saint Sakura was extremely disdainful at the time, and lost a battle with Venerable Master Cheerful in the process of fighting the Dharma. In the end, she was willing to follow Venerable Joyful Man to the Great World of Brahma to cultivate the Buddha’s teachings, and it was only after she went to the Great World of Brahma that Saint Sakura was seen by the Holy Buddha, who passed on his Dao and became a Saint.”
Ning Cheng had thought that Cang Wei had been trapped by the Jubilant Exalted One at Zhu Sakura’s request, and then what. I didn’t expect that Cang Wei was still saved by Venerable Cheerful, that Venerable Cheerful was able to hold off Zhu Sakura, his strength looked very strong.
“Fellow Daoist Cai Wei, I wonder what happened to that person that the Cherry Blossom Sovereign was chasing?” Ning Cheng knew that once he asked about Cang Wei’s whereabouts, he would definitely be suspected by Siasia, but he had to ask.
“Are the two fellow Daoists friends of that person?” As soon as Ning Cheng asked, Siasia asked suspiciously in return.
