Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

After completing all this, he left this section of the Ganges River, following the current to pursue Tang Xiaotang.

Later, Buddha light surged ahead, a sight that Lei Jun found familiar.

A stretch of verdant Pure Land of the Buddha Country.

The appearance was quite akin to the Land of Wonderful Joy revealed when the Vajra Temple’s Mountain Defense Array was running at its peak.

It seemed both sides were derived from the same lineage.

Currently, Lei Jun no longer had the silver cone refined by Senior Sister Xu Yuanzhen at his disposal.

However, Tang Xiaotang was a Great Vehicle High Immortal of the Ninth Heavenly Layer, and also had the Celestial Master’s Sword in hand.

Elder Luo Chi and others urged the Aksobhya Buddha to reluctantly hide within the Land of Wonderful Joy.

But the majestic pillar of light, woven from purple and gold, seemingly both thunderous and sword-like, descended from the sky.

Under the cover of green light, the Land of Wonderful Joy appeared fragile like glass, yet was solid as a vajra.

Even when Tang Xiaotang struck with one sword, for a moment, he failed to split it open.

But with Tang Xiaotang wielding the Celestial Master’s Sword, the majestic pillar of sword light continually flowed, the vast and potent thunderous force incessantly pouring onto the verdant Land of Wonderful Joy.

Previously entering the vajra-like firm Land of Wonderful Joy, its surface now began to show rippling patterns like water waves.

Elder Luo Chi and other monks of the Vajra Division maneuvered the Aksobhya Buddha to return to its place, trying to unite with the Land of Wonderful Joy to stabilize it.

But Tang Xiaotang’s Pure Yang Boat had already collided.

At this moment, the bow of the boat, like a sharp blade, was embedded within the verdant Land of Wonderful Joy.

With the gap formed, even with the timely return of the Aksobhya Buddha, the Land of Wonderful Joy found itself incomplete.

The part embedded by the bow of the Pure Yang Boat had its green Vajra True Intent faded, the Buddha light turned into gold, with strands of golden glow continuously dispersing outward.

Seeing this, Lei Jun was not in a hurry.

On the outside of the Land of Wonderful Joy from the Vajra Division, he made other arrangements.

Lei Jun took thirty-six of the remaining sixty Black Bodhi Seeds.

This time, he also did not directly activate these Black Bodhi Seeds, but arranged them according to the sixty-six Heavenly Gang Stars, forming another layer of formation.

Each Black Bodhi Seed was matched with thirty-six Talisman Scriptures prepared by Lei Jun.

Next, Lei Jun stepped forward.

Since he achieved the realm of the Upper Three Heavens, the Star-stepping Spell had evolved into the Circle Stars Array Fight. He rarely formally reenacted the Star-stepping Spell.

But now, accompanying his steps, all the Talisman Scriptures and Black Bodhi Seeds vanished into invisibility.

Soon, myriad monks from Sumi arrived from afar.

Among them, there were more than one Buddhist Sect masters of the Dharma Body Realm.

Even though the Vajra Realm divisions within Sumi all operated individually in different areas of the mortal world, surely there were masters left to sit in Sumi.

Although they usually strictly adhered to the principle of mutual non-interference, the massive commotion caused by the Vajra Division finally made other division experts intervene.

As they approached, several leading monks sensed something unusual, albeit faintly.

Due to the Black Bodhi Seeds, this formation was extremely covert, by the time the other side noticed, it was already a step too late.

The grand formation swiftly unfolded with a speed surpassing the monks’ expectations, sealing a vast area inside and outside the Land of Wonderful Joy.

A formation of illusory starlight appeared, with Black Bodhi Seeds hidden within.

Lei Jun gazed at it.

Observing the inner linings of their kasayas, some were white, some green, some red.

Corresponding to the five sect colors of the Vajra Realm within Sumi: Buddha Department being white, Lotus Department being red, Jiamu Department being green.

With this perspective, aside from the distressed Vajra Division, there might be another Treasure Department... Lei Jun raised his eyebrows slightly.

In his eyes, the Heaven-piercing Earth-penetrating Taliscript flowed quietly, surveying all directions.

In the distance, a towering golden mountain loomed intermittently.

The legendary center of Sumi, Mount Sumeru, perhaps... Lei Jun pondered.

At this moment, the golden light flashing on the mountain peak seemed unstable.

Are the Treasure Department experts stabilizing Mount Sumeru?

Lei Jun thought briefly and temporarily refocused.

The formation before him was not as effective as the Dual Immortal Array, unable to prevent Buddhist Sect experts of the Ninth Heavenly Layer from passing for too long.

But hindering them for a time posed no significant issue.

Conversely, the Vajra Realm’s Land of Wonderful Joy was already close to collapsing.

Elder Luo Chi and Duo Pei Shang Ren observed powerlessly.

Leading the monks within the Land of Wonderful Joy, they simultaneously formed hand seals, chanting: "Vajra Paramita Bodhisattva!"

A massive scroll painting soared in the Land of Wonderful Joy, hanging in the air, worshipped by incense from numerous monasteries below in the Pure Land.

The hanging painting bore the image of a Bodhisattva, namely one of the mothers of the five departments in the Vajra Realm, the Vajra Paramita Bodhisattva.

A department mother does not rise because of its ability to generate, but should be established through nurturing, thus it is the foundation for all departments within the Vajra Realm.

Five-Cobalt Vajra Scepter.

Aksobhya Buddha.

Vajra Paramita Bodhisattva Mother Image.

Together forming the three great treasures of the Sumi Vajra Division.

At this moment, the emergence of the Mother Image, the circulation of Buddha light sweeping across the entire Land of Wonderful Joy, began its transformation from real to fictitious.

The expansive Buddhist Pure Land, at this moment actually showing a shrinking stance, as if it were going to disappear right before Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang.

This was the transformation of the Vajra Womb Realm.

In the Buddhist Hand Seal Lineage, there are sayings of Vajra and Womb Realms.

The inner wisdom and virtue attested by Mahavairocana Tathagata are sharp in usage, capable of breaking through delusion and verifying the principle of reality; its essence firm, unbroken by any afflictions, like the solidity of a vajra gemstone, unspoiled by external matters.

Conversely, the rational presence of Mahavairocana Tathagata exists within everything, nurtured by great compassion, like a fetus within a mother’s womb, or the potential of a lotus seed contained within the flower, thus metaphorized as the womb realm.

At this moment, with the Mother Image transitioning in transformation, the world shrinks subtly, set to make the Land of Wonderful Joy disappear as if a lotus seed buried in mud, or a fetus returning to the maternal body.

Pure Yang Boat, instantly lost the opportunity to continue entering the Land of Wonderful Joy.
