"Yes, Buddha Hawley must have created this pure land of Buddhism himself.
I can also feel that he had once cultivated here for some time,"
Ivy said happily.
"Yes, I feel it too."
Sue nodded in agreement.
Both their cultivation bases in Buddhism had reached a very high level. Back when they were still in the
three thousand big and small universes, Buddha Hawley had appointed them as his disciples, from
some remote space, passing on some profound Buddhist methods to them.
Now, as they came to this place the Buddha himself had made and where he had cultivated in
seclusion, they felt it all so naturally and clearly.
"The Buddha really did create this place? That must mean he's still alive!
What terrific news!"
the middle-aged monk exclaimed excitedly.
"Buddha, I am so honored that I could learn the wisdom of Buddhism!"
He fell to the ground and bowed three times with great respect beaming from his serious face.
Ivy and Sue followed his lead and bowed to the land as well.
To Buddhists, nothing was more important than Buddha Hawley.
He was the spiritual pillar of Buddhism.
But he had disappeared and had been gone for a long time now. No one knew where he was.
They didn't even know if he was dead or alive.
In some places, the rumor that he had passed on floated around.
But that could not be. Everyone knew he was immortal. How could he die for no reason at all?
It was just some baseless, far-fetched rumor.
"Madams, there are many monks in this pure land of Buddhism who've passed away. And after their
passing they've left behind many Buddhist cultivation methods and omnipotent skills, as well as a lot of
Buddhist magic treasures.
More to it, they have left their Sarira,
Buddhism's most precious treasure.
Besides, the Buddha once cultivated in seclusion here; there's bound to be a great deal of Buddhist
essence left. You're sure to benefit massively if you are to cultivate here.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You two should grab it with both hands,"
the middle-aged monk said to Ivy and Sue.
"Got it."
Of course, that was already clear to Ivy and Sue.
"Austin, we plan to take some time to cultivate here in this pure land of Buddhism in seclusion. We're
going to take our time to meticulously comprehend the essence left by the Buddha,"
said Ivy, turning to Austin.
"No problem.
You can rest assured that I will be on guard for you,"
Austin replied, nodding in understanding.
It was a good thing that his wives wanted to cultivate and so they had his full support.
"By the way, there is a fragment of the road of reincarnation here. Your cultivation base of Buddhism is
very high and so I imagine your abilities of perception must be very powerful here. If you can, would
you please help me figure out where it is?"
Austin asked sweetly of his wives.
"Okay."
Ivy and Sue nodded.
They released their spiritual senses at the same time to examine the entire pure land of Buddhism
around them.
A moment later...
"I've found it. It's over there. I'll take you to it,"
Sue said pointing off somewhere.
"Yes, I feel it in the direction too,"
Ivy said, echoing her conclusion.
They took Austin and strode off.
A moment later, they arrived at the gate
of a magnificent temple.
They stepped in to find multiple ancient Buddhas sitting on the altars with their legs crossed.
They had died a long, long time ago and yet their bodies hadn't rotted.
Despite the flow of time, their bodies were no different to how they'd been when they were still alive. It
was as if they were just resting with their eyes closed, still amongst the living.
Their skin, hair and nails looked like anyone else's.
Even the blood vessels under their skin and the blood flowing in them were still visible.
On one of the altars, emitting a powerful energy and law of reincarnation was a dazzling fragment of
the road of reincarnation.
"There it is! The fragment of the road of reincarnation!"
Austin was overjoyed. He walked up to it and began using the secret method of the reincarnation race
to collect the fragment.
"Who are you?
You dare steal this road of reincarnation!"
Suddenly, a deep, thundering voice echoed throughout the temple. The immense Buddhist energy
turned into many Buddhist symbols that charged at Austin.
"Austin, look out!"
Naturally, Ivy and Sue were terribly anxious when they saw their husband in danger. They immediately
rushed to his side and used a Buddhist omnipotent skill to hold off the Buddhist energy.
"Oh?
You are Buddhists!"
the voice said in surprise after a moment's hesitation.
After that, all the energy in the temple rushing at Austin disappeared.
An old monk slowly materialized and looked at Ivy and Sue with surprise.
"Are you two the disciples of Buddha Hawley?
I can feel his will from you,"
the monk asked, looking them up and down.
"Yes, we are," Ivy and Sue admitted.
They figured this monk was probably an elder of Buddhists, or perhaps he had some sort of close
relationship with the Buddha himself.
"So, it turns out he has taken on two human disciples.
Very good. The two of you are highly talented and are indeed qualified,"
the monk said nodding with satisfaction.
"I'm Darin.
I used to follow an avatar of the Buddha and had been here for quite a while.
That avatar suddenly left one day. I do not know why.
I left a spiritual soul mark here before I set out to look for him,"
the monk remarked curiously.
"What? You...
You are the actual Venerable Darin?"
Ivy, Sue, the middle-aged monk, Austin, the chaotic sky-devouring beast, and even Old Lady Meng
were all shocked.
Everyone knew the Buddha had two distinguished disciples. Darin was one of them and Cullen was the
other.
It was said that in terms of strength, they were second only to the Buddha himself.
They were the two great guardians of Buddhism and were held in such high esteem that only the
Buddha was above them.
Austin and his companions had definitely not been expecting to meet Darin here.
