The Post Sky Tipping Era

"I didn't expect you actually killed Master Bu Huai from Jingang Zen Temple." Zhang Fanyin was shocked at this moment; she didn't expect Li Yi's strength had grown to such an extent.

Even Master Bu Huai, who was about to become a Resident Vajra, died at his hands.

"He sought his own death, starting by saying he wanted to kill me. Truly, he didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth." Li Yi said coldly, "However, he wasn't entirely without opportunity to escape. It was his mindset that collapsed, and in the end, he sent away the Eight Treasure Vajra Plate and several martial monks along with it, staying behind to fight to the death with me."

Zhang Fanyin said, "That's because his Vajra Body was broken by you, damaging his cultivation. He couldn't achieve Resident Vajra in this life, and seeing you relentlessly pursuing, he felt disheartened and stayed behind for a last stand."

"So the cultivators of this Brahma Realm have a very fragile mentality. If he had the mindset of a martial artist from the Four Seas and Eight Continents, he wouldn't have lost so quickly." Li Yi glanced again, "Yet that monk from Xiangguo Temple is very cunning; seeing Master Bu Huai die, he fled in an instant. However, such a coward wouldn't amount to anything significant."

"The Heavenly Dragon's power on that Physical Bodhisattva Statue seems to have settled down, it should be possible to take it now. We can't stay here long, or who knows what other cultivators will come to fight over this thing."

After saying this, Li Yi immediately went to the side of the Physical Bodhisattva Statue and effortlessly used the Red Gold Five Elements Bracelet to put it away.

Then he wasted no time, raised his hand, summoned a Xiangyun, and together with Zhang Fanyin, flew off in another direction.

"Head west. My master's place of cultivation is called Jingxin Temple. I'll remind you when we arrive." Zhang Fanyin said.

Li Yi said, "I shouldn't have wasted time on this Physical Bodhisattva Statue, otherwise there wouldn't have been so much trouble."

"This is the Resident Physical Statue of the Heavenly Dragon Vast Power Bodhisattva. You will benefit greatly after comprehending it and will not regret what happened today." Zhang Fanyin said.

"Let's hope so." Li Yi's expression was very calm.

He was curious to see what kind of Dharma he could comprehend from this Physical Bodhisattva Statue.

As the Xiangyun raced across the sky,

they quickly distanced themselves from the ruins of the Heavenly Dragon Temple, leaving this troubled place behind.

Moreover, upon observing, Li Yi found that this Brahma Realm was vast and unique, filled with monasteries big and small, everyone chanting scriptures, every household worshiping Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, and Vajras, with sandalwood incense everywhere.

Even farming peasants had some cultivation, able to move giant rocks easily and cultivate dozens of acres of land effortlessly.

Truly a cultivation world.

Even in the Xuanxian Continent, there were still ordinary people present.

"The sentient beings of the Brahma Realm do not covet or kill; everyone recites scriptures, receives blessings from all Buddhas, and is devoted to cultivation, incomparable to other worlds." Zhang Fanyin observed the world and sighed with emotion.

"Upon returning from cross-realm travel, I do not intend to return to Earth. It's filled with smoke and mists, excessive killing and strife, heavy with sin. I find it hard to attain Bodhi on Earth. It is only because our karma is not yet exhausted that I took this journey specifically."

Hearing this, Li Yi glanced over, "If the Brahma Realm were as great as you say, those bald monks wouldn't come to snatch the Physical Bodhisattva Statue. Earth is indeed dangerous now; if you want to seek refuge by escaping to the Brahma Realm, it's your freedom. After all, you're not the only evolver escaping cross-realm. There's no need to denigrate Earth."

"If possible, who would want to be embroiled in the Sky Tipping incident and engage in cross-realm battles? It is merely the trend of the times, helpless."

"Li Yi, you should stay and cultivate in the Brahma Realm; in the future, you will surely become a Resident Buddha." Zhang Fanyin advised.

"I cultivate the Dao. If anything, I would become a Heavenly Venerate, not a Buddha." Li Yi said, "I'll escort you back to Jingxin Temple and meet your master, then I'm leaving the realm. If you want to stay in this Brahma Realm, you can stay. Once I leave, without a cross-border machine, you won't be able to return even if you want to."

Zhang Fanyin said, "I have cut off worldly ties, push away the Golden Sea, possessing only a heart full of Zen, aspiring to attain Bodhi."

"I don't understand." Li Yi replied bluntly, "I only know to act with a clear conscience, doing what I must."

Their conversation was not pleasant, but Zhang Fanyin was not upset, remaining low-browed and seeming compassionate, standing on the white Xiangyun like a Bodhisattva delivering all beings, truly with an aura of a treasure statue.

They flew westward.

Even though this realm was large, with Li Yi's flying speed, it was only a moment before they reached their destination.

It was a green mountain shrouded in mist.

At the foot were many villages and towns with travelers coming and going, a scene of peace.

In the green mountain was Jingxin Temple, located halfway up, surrounded by the mountain as if a lotus blooming. As a cultivator, Li Yi could see at a glance that this place was blessed with excellent feng shui, aligning with heavenly stars above and earth veins below—a precious site for cultivation.

"This is Jingxin Temple." Zhang Fanyin said.

Li Yi said, "In this world, such small temples are countless. I wonder what kind of brainwashing technique your master uses to turn an Earthling like you into this."

With this, he immediately descended with the Xiangyun, heading directly to Jingxin Temple in the mountain.

Li Yi's actions immediately attracted the attention of many women in the mountain who were cultivating. These women also wore simple clothes, had a compassionate air, exuding a calm and harmonious presence.

"So it's Senior Sister Fanyin. Greetings, layman." One of the women smiled slightly and respectfully greeted Li Yi.

"Junior Sister Jingyi, is the master in the temple?" Zhang Fanyin also returned a salute and then asked.

"The master is meditating in the main hall." The woman named Jingyi said.

"Thank you, Junior Sister, I will go to see the master now." Zhang Fanyin said, and then quickly went up the mountain with Li Yi, heading towards Jingxin Temple.

Soon,

Li Yi entered Jingxin Temple and went straight to the main hall.

Although the environment was tranquil here, Jingxin Temple was bustling with incense. As he walked along, he saw many devotees coming to offer incense, not asking for anything, just to pay respects.

As Li Yi glanced towards the main hall, he immediately noticed that in the center was enshrined a gilded Bodhisattva statue, holding a Treasure Seal, with eyes lowered, seemingly looking down on all beings.

Next to the golden Bodhisattva statue was a mat with a woman sitting on it.

The woman appeared to be around thirty, clad in simple clothing, with her black hair hanging down to her waist, chanting sutras with closed eyes, a look of piety on her face. Initially, she seemed no different from others in the temple.

But for some reason, just one look gave Li Yi an inexplicable feeling.

This feeling was akin to facing the Bone Mural.

No, accurately like falling into the illusion of the Bone Mural, his spirit affected.

"This person is suspicious." Li Yi's eyes darkened, his hand unconsciously moving to the Red Gold Treasure Sword at his waist. If the other party showed any sign of oddity, he wouldn't hesitate to act and cut them down.

He didn't want to fall into another illusion of the White Bone Temple.

Just as this thought appeared, his expression changed instantly.

At some unknown time, the surroundings had become empty, neither seeing devotees around nor Zhang Fanyin—it was just him in the empty main hall, along with the compassionate golden Bodhisattva statue and the woman chanting on the mat.

He had been determined not to fall into an illusion; had he already been ensnared?

How was it possible?

He had cultivated Primordial Spirit Dharma, with the protection of the Red Lotus, how could he enter an illusion without cause?

All sounds around him vanished, only the woman's chanting echoed from small to loud, eventually resounding throughout heaven and earth, leaving no escape or retreat.

"You're Zhang Fanyin's master?" Li Yi didn't draw his Red Gold Treasure Sword; he knew this was all the other person's doing, so he simply strode into the main hall, asking directly.

As Li Yi arrived, the chanting suddenly stopped, and then the woman on the mat slowly opened her eyes.
