After returning to Jiuzhou, Jiang Li first visited the realm of Buddhism with the Tower of Brahma.

He happened to catch the Buddha Lord Wu Zhi preaching. It was exceedingly profound; various heavenly flowers fell from the sky, one of the anomalous phenomena associated with Buddhist Law. The Bodhisattvas and Arhats who were in the Body Integration Realm were in a trance, nodding their heads without realizing it.

Originally, Wu Zhi only had a gift for understanding Buddhist Law. He needed further insight to truly comprehend its essence – he was a promising figure. But after the elderly Buddha of Mount Sumeru died, Wu Zhi changed as if he were a different person. His previously naive spirit suddenly attained enlightenment, nearly approaching the absolute truth of Buddhist Law. Even monks who had cultivated for a thousand years felt inferior in comparison. The Bodhisattvas and Arhats called Wu Zhi “The Awakened One”, believing that he had reached the level of self-enlightenment and had awakened others to emotions.

Jiang Li knew that the cultivation of these Bodhisattvas and Arhats was still incomplete, without being able to break through the barrier of their hearts. They knew that Wu Zhi’s understanding of Buddhist Law surpassed themselves, but their pride prevented them from acknowledging Wu Zhi as the Buddha directly. So, they used “The Awakened One” as a substitute.

However, ‘The Awakened One’ in actuality, is just another term for Buddha the two are equivalent.

The preaching event this time was grand; monks and nuns from all over Mount Sumeru attended. As such, some of them weren’t serious about studying Buddhist Law and were distracted.

Jiang Li stood at the back. Right in front of him was a pretty young nun who was reading a romance novel named “The Overbearing Buddha Lord Fell in Love with Me.” She was completely engrossed in her book, oblivious to Jiang Li’s observing gaze from behind.

Jiang Li had heard of the author of the book before, a person named ‘Sensual Teacher’.

Surprisingly enough, Jiang Li didn’t meet this author for the first time. Five hundred years ago when he was venturing throughout various parts of Jiuzhou, he often saw people selling ‘Sensual Teacher’s’ works at roadside stalls. At that time, the author had already been present for three hundred years.

Over these five hundred years, ‘Sensual Teacher’ had been continuously releasing new works, most of them romance novels like “I Shall Not Fail You Even If I Have To Fail the Buddha”, “Love Across Lifetimes”, “The Heartless Moon’s Matchmaker Has Feelings” and so forth. The author was ceaselessly inspired and highly prolific, writing up until the present day.

Jiang Li hadn’t seen the novel “The Overbearing Buddha Lord Fell in Love with Me” before, so it must be one of the newest works.

This must be a cultivator who has lived for eight hundred years. Their level of cultivation must be quite high. Jiang Li always had the impression that this cultivator is someone he knows.

“Strange, who could it be?”

Next to the young nun was a young monk, around the same age as her, engrossed in a health education novel called “Young Ah Bing” , secretly chuckling to himself. The author was Night Rain with Umbrella.

Jiang Li turned away, avoiding looking at the young monk. Feeling a bit awkward, he knew the true identity of the author Night Rain with Umbrella Ma Zhuo couple, two of the Human Emperor’s palace’s commanders, who are obsessed with having children.

“What’s so interesting about these?” The Tower of Brahma failed to understand

the actions of these monks and nuns. From its perspective, what’s the point of reading these books. The scriptures are always more interesting to read.

Wu Zhi seemed to be the reincarnation of an enormously capable person from the Immortal Realm and his soul was unique with countless scars from trials and tribulations. However, as Wu Zhi preached about Buddha, the scars on his soul started to heal. Even though the healing process was slow, it was indeed happening.

Only Jiang Li could see this scene.

Looking at Wu Zhi on the preaching stage, the Tower of Brahma had a smile like a father’s on its face,

“What a good kid.” The Tower of Brahma was very pleased, as it didn’t expect the little brat to have grown to this level. Even without its help, Wu Zhi could sit firmly in the position of Buddha Lord.

It secretly glanced at Jiang Li, thinking about whether it could manage to escape again. This time it would look for a world with lots of people and wouldn’t allow another Zombie Buddha Land to happen.

Jiang Li noticed the little movement of the Tower of Brahma and chuckled. He was not at all worried about the Tower of Brahma running away.

When the preaching ended and monks and nuns started to leave, a nun named Qing Yu, who was sitting in the front row, quickly went up and brought out a Kasaya she had sewn herself.

“Look, the flags are moving. There’s a big wind. Don’t catch a cold. Put this on quickly.”

Wu Zhi, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator who doesnt feel hot or cold, shrugged in embarrassment, “Qing Yu, it’s not the wind that’s moving, it is not the banners that move, but the hearts of benevolent people.”

“Oh come on, don’t worry about what’s moving. Just put it on.”

As a cultivator in the Body Integration Realm, she was not someone a Nascent Soul Stage could resist. Wu Zhi couldn’t argue with the Daoist nun Qing Yu and had no choice but to obediently put on the meticulously made Kasaya.

The Tower of Brahma was dumbfounded.

“This…this is completely inappropriate! Wu Zhi is only fourteen!”

“He’s fifteen now.” “Is this even about age!”

“Right, age is not the issue.”

Jiang Li and The Tower of Brahma attracted the attention of the monks with their clamor. Previously, the monks were immersed in the aftermath of Wu Zhi’s preaching and didn’t notice the duo.

“Jiang, the Human Emperor, have you found the sacred Buddhist artifact?” The Dragon Subduing Arhat was overjoyed. Even though they had quickly selected a new Buddha Lord and settled down quickly after the old Buddha’s death, the people were still uneasy. Moreover, with the old Buddha gone, there was no longer a Transcendence Tribulation Stage at Mount Sumeru, hence a decrease in their strength.

Now that the Tower of Brahma, who had mastery over spatial laws was present in Mount Sumeru, they finally had a true sense of security.

“What sacred Buddhist artifact, you should call it Lord Tower of Brahma.” Another Arhat glared at the Dragon Subduing Arhat. He had a unique name the Non-Subdued Arhat.

The reason for this name was very simple. He was a true dragon that had converted to Buddhism.

The Dragon Subduing Arhat glared at Non-Subdued Arhat. Only you could talk like that!

Because of their names, the two Arhats often had open and covert conflicts. This was a well-known fact in the realm of Buddhism.

“Jiang sir, you must be tired.” Wu Zhi walked down the stage unhurriedly, greeting Jiang Li in a calm and steady pace, different from the way he was on the Flying Boat.

“Little fellow, have you missed me?” “Little Tower, long time no see.”

“No need to be so polite Lord Wu Zhi, please allow me to borrow the Tower of

Brahma for a while.” Jiang Li got straight to the point. He came to Mount Sumeru not to return The Tower of Brahma but to give a heads up to the owner after finding the lost item.

Wu Zhi paused for a moment, then clasped his hands together and said, “If the

Little Tower agrees, of course I have no objection.”

“What for?” The Tower of Brahma thought that Jiang Li was returning it.

“Didn’t you say that you could establish spatial passages? Jiuzhou is too big, and the lower-level cultivators lack effective communication. For convenience, you could establish some spatial passages throughout Jiuzhou.”

Jiang Li had thought of this as soon as The Tower of Brahma gained spiritual intelligence. Now that the Heavenly Demon has disappeared and there are no external threats, they should focus on development and boost Jiuzhou as a whole to the next level.

Transportation is an important link. Establishing spatial passages would speed up the flow of information and economy. It would allow ideas from different regions to collide and spark, leading to better development in Jiuzhou.

“Let me be clear, my ability is limited. At most, I can maintain twenty spatial passages at the same time and it would still need a lot of spiritual energy for maintenance. ”

“Twenty is already a lot. You don’t have to worry about spiritual energy, there will be people who are eager to help you solve it.” Jiang Li was not worried about the issue of spiritual energy.

“Amitabha, this is an action that accumulates immeasurable virtues, Little Tower, you should agree.” Wu Zhi said, even though Jiuzhou did not bestow virtue, doing good deeds should not be for gaining virtues, but should come from the desire to do good.

“Alright then.” The Tower of Brahma agreed. If it didn’t need to consider the spiritual energy issue, then there was nothing to worry about. Anyway, this was not a difficult task.

“What is the head teacher of Qing Yu here for?” Jiang Li glanced at her, asking knowingly.

“The Pure Land of Red Dust and Buddhism are not far apart, almost neighbors. So, I came to exchange feelings.” Qing Yu, full of righteousness.

Exchange feelings with monks?

The Tower of Brahma was on alert.

After saying goodbye to Wu Zhi, Jiang Li brought the Tower of Brahma to the

Dao Sect.

Now that the Tower of Brahma was in place, it was time to fulfill the promise to Ming Zhong..
