Chapter 540, Eternal Divine Emperor
After a while, Wang Er, holding a package, sneaks back home, swiftly darting back into his room.
Wang Er locks his room door from the inside, runs to his bed, excitedly opens the package, and takes out a book of paintings. They were delivered so quickly and the quality was good too; he became interested and began to eagerly flip through it.
...
Meanwhile, on Kunlun Mountain, a bright ring appeared in the sky, like the aurora.
"Neigh~ Neigh~ Neigh~" A Heavenly Horse burst out from the ring, ridden by a Heavenly Soldier.
All disciples of the Kunlun Sect came out of their rooms, looking up curiously at the Heavenly Horse in the sky, many disciples flying into the air.
The Heavenly Soldier extended his hand, and a blood-red package appeared in his palm. He loudly declared, "Kunlun Sect Leader Jiang Ziya, your package has arrived, please come out to sign for it."
In the great hall at the middle of Kunlun Mountain, an old Daoist with white eyebrows and beard flew out, stood above the clouds, bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Divine Monarch!"
The Heavenly Soldier tossed the package, wrapped in a divine light, flying downward toward Jiang Ziya.
Then, the Heavenly Soldier turned the Heavenly Horse and flew upward, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Ziya picked up the package, turned, and flew back down into the great hall, sitting cross-legged on a cushion, excitedly opening the package. A blood-colored Bodhi seed rested inside an exquisite box, shimmering with brilliant light.
Jiang Ziya murmured, "They really do deliver."
He took the Blood Bodhi in his hand, threw it in his mouth, and gently bit down. The Bodhi seed burst open instantly, its fragrance filling his mouth, intoxicating him.
...
Inside the Underworld, within the Ksitigarbha Palace, Ksitigarbha sat on a Lotus Platform, browsing the Three Realms Mall on a screen showing the storefront's backend.
Ksitigarbha sighed helplessly, "Ah, why are there so few orders?! Diting, help me listen for the reason."
Diting, lying on the floor, lifted his head, "Bodhisattva, currently, most users of the Three Realms Mall are in the Nan Zhanbu Continent and the East Victory Divine Continent.
After the rise of the Calamity, although these two continents have ceased their suppression of our Buddhism, due to previous issues with the Eastern Sea Demon Country, the Human Clan and Hundred Schools from the Nan Zhanbu Continent and East Victory Divine Continent, along with several hundred nations, have suppressed Buddhism for millions of years, leading several anti-Buddhist campaigns.
These campaigns were led by Emperor Taiwu of Northern Wei, Beizhou Emperor, and Emperor of Later Zhou, nearly destroying our Buddhist doctrines in these two continents. It is only in recent years that Buddhism has begun to rise again.
As a result, Buddhism is not flourishing in the eastern and southern parts, and hence, the Three Realms Mall is not flourishing in the northern and western realms, resulting in scant interest in your products."
Ksitigarbha sighed, "Diting, do you think the Buddha, that chubby one, is foolish? It would be better for him to earn money and repay loans together with Brother Bai Jin. Good for him, good for me, good for everyone. Why can't he see that and instead cooperates with the Demon Clan? Sooner or later, Buddhism will be destroyed by his hands."
Diting remained silent on the floor; the Buddha didn't owe any loans.
Ksitigarbha's eyes lit up, "Diting, what if we sold some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that enhance cultivation? Would the results be much better?"
"Lord Buddha, Yin Mountain is poor and lacks any items that enhance cultivation."
Ksitigarbha chuckled softly, "Yin Mountain might not have any, but the Blood Sea next door does! I heard that the Blood Sea contains Blood Bodhi, Blood Lotus Seeds, Blood Essence, Blood Spirit Beads, and other items that enhance cultivation. We could go and steal... no, have a stroll in the Blood Sea, and perhaps we might just find some!"
Diting was shocked, looking at Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha as if he were a fool; going to the Blood Sea to steal, are you trying to become like the Buddha, covered in bumps!
No, I must find a way to change my master, otherwise, I'll be doomed by this guy sooner or later; a sense of crisis arose in Diting's heart.
...
Such events occurred quite frequently throughout the Primordial World; the Three Realms Mall had made a small sensation across the Three Realms.
In the Heavenly Court, Bai Jin sat cross-legged in the cultivation room of the Bird's Nest, where various Miracles happened frequently within the great hall. Coins fluttered like raindrops—Merit Money, Xuanhuang Gold Coin, Purple Gold Money, and even ordinary Copper Coin. The Dao of money in Between Heaven and Earth was slowly strengthening, and he was becoming entranced in the Dao, overwhelmed with Mysterious insights.
"Senior Brother~"
"Senior Brother~"
A calling voice came from outside.
Bai Jin opened his eyes, and all the Miracles inside the hall disappeared, and he floated up and walked outside.
Outside in the Bird's Nest, Gu Liang was looking around when she suddenly saw Bai Jin walking out from the backyard, her eyes brightened, and she immediately greeted him excitedly, exclaiming: "Senior Brother! We succeeded."
Bai Jin asked with a smile, "Succeeded in what?"
Gu Liang spoke excitedly, "It's our Three Realms Mall! We made a lot of money today, and many people came to deposit money in the bank.
Our bank is finally not just a money-making tool anymore, wuwuwu~ I am so happy."
Bai Jin said with a smile, "This is just the beginning; we will earn even more in the future."
Gu Liang squinted her eyes excitedly, "So, do I also have money now? In the future, I can buy whatever I want without scraping by, just thinking about it makes me so happy!"
"Xiao Jin, how many users have registered with the Three Realms Mall now?"
"Master, the number of registered users of the Three Realms Mall has now reached fifty million."
Bai Jin frowned slightly and muttered, "That's too few!"
Gu Liang said excitedly, "It's not few at all! This is just the first day; there will be more in the future."
Bai Jin thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Jin, gradually open up the other functions as well."
"Should I open all of them? Dear master."
"All of them! Within one month, open them all up, but with new functions, there will be a charge, you know!"
"I understand what master means; I'll soon load features like friend function, shopping display, and free initial slash."
Gu Liang curiously asked, "Senior Brother, what are these things? Are they fun? Can they make money?"
"Very fun, you'll know once they are launched."
"Namo Amitabha Buddha~" A clear Buddhist chant sounded from outside.
Bai Jin glanced outside and frowned, "Why has Guanyin come?"
Gu Liang immediately volunteered, "Senior Brother, if you don't want to see her, I can send her away."
"Please invite her in, junior sister! She must have a compelling reason to seek me out at this moment, and I indeed wish to hear what she has to say."
Gu Liang nodded and immediately walked outside.
Bai Jin also turned and walked towards the main hall, entering inside. With a wave of his hand, the whole hall instantly transformed; the dome above changed to a rotating Star Sea, the floor below bellowed with the roars of myriad beasts, and around stood statues of formidable and diverse shaped Divine Generals.
Bai Jin, dressed in the Emperor's Robe, sat aloft on the throne, his gaze indifferent as he looked below, like an Eternal Divine Emperor overseeing all living beings.
