However, Li Qingshan didn’t disturb them and let them cultivate quietly. He turned and left the nine heavens, heading toward the Western Lands.

There was nothing else in this Immortal Plane that could help him live his ninth life.

Li Qingshan had consumed all the divine medicines, which were the best things for Emperors. However, they no longer worked for him, thus he thought of Monk Fayin.

In the entire Immortal Plane, there was only Monk Fayin was like Li Qingshan, having lived through several lifetimes. Although the difference in their current strength was vast, Monk Fayin’s experience could help Li Qingshan.

After all, the method by which the two of them had lived out their second lives was completely different.

Li Qingshan relied on divine medicines and his own insights to live out eight lifetimes, each more formidable than the last.

Monk Fayin, on the other hand, relied on the things left behind by Amitabha to live four lifetimes.

He could not live out a fifth life on his own, so he too was waiting for the Supreme Path.

Upon his second arrival in the Western Lands, Li Qingshan felt much more at ease, appreciating the beautiful scenery. The Western Lands were indeed harsh, but their beauty was indescribable.

While on the road, his heart was in heaven.

The people of the Western Lands were deeply rooted in their faith.

This was the land of the Buddha, impenetrable by any other religion. Mount Sumeru, located in the Western Lands, held a revered status.

Enjoying the scenery along the way, Li Qingshan eventually arrived at Mount Sumeru.

He avoided the main peaks and went directly to where Monk Fayin resided.

The autumn leaves fell, turning the trees golden. Monk Fayin, as usual, was sweeping the fallen leaves. He looked up in surprise upon seeing Li Qingshan.

“Li Qingshan, it has been nine years. Now, looking at you is like looking at a cloud, a rain, a spring, a winter…” Monk Fayin said curiously. He found that he could no longer see through Li Qingshan.

Nine years ago, Monk Fayin could silently tap Li Qingshan’s glabella and send his primordial spirit to another world. Even though Li Qingshan had already shown an invincible demeanor at that time, Monk Fayin, who had lived through four lifetimes, could still handle him.

But now, he couldn’t see through Li Qingshan at all.

“To you, senior, it has been nine years. To me, it equates to nine million years…” Li Qingshan sighed, clasping his hands behind his back and looking around. The deep mountains, narrow paths, fallen leaves, cold autumn, chilly wind, old monk…

All of this brought him a sense of tranquility.

“Nine million years, it seems that this period of time has been very eventful for you,” Monk Fayin raised an eyebrow in surprise, never expecting that Li Qingshan had lived through nine million years.

“How many lifetimes have you lived in these nine million years?” Monk Fayin asked curiously.

“Eight!” Li Qingshan replied softly.

Monk Fayin gasped. He had only lived four lifetimes, and that was with the aid of Amitabha’s means. Li Qingshan had lived eight lifetimes in the past nine years, twice as many as Monk Fayin. It was simply unbelievable.

“Li Qingshan, you are indeed the child of destiny in this era,” Monk Fayin said sincerely.

Li Qingshan smiled and said, “Senior, aren’t you going to treat me to a cup of tea?”

Monk Fayin replied warmly, “I only have wild tea picked by myself. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Drinking tea is about the state of mind. Who you drink with is more important than what tea you drink,” Li Qingshan said calmly.

Monk Fayin said nothing more, turning to prepare the tea. Soon, he brought out a pot of tea, inviting Li Qingshan to sit under a banyan tree on Mount Sumeru, where the gentle wind blew. Monk Fayin poured a cup of tea for Li Qingshan.

“Li Qingshan, what brings you here?” Monk Fayin asked curiously.

“I want to know how you lived out four lifetimes,” Li Qingshan said straightforwardly, sipping the tea and looking at Monk Fayin with clear eyes.

“In the past, before Amitabha went to the Supreme Path, he left behind a Dharma Body containing his lifetime of insights. He said it was a safeguard for Mount Sumeru, to be used in times of danger.” Monk Fayin reminisced.

“In my first life, I didn’t touch the Dharma Body. When my time was almost up, guarding the Western Lands, I discovered that no power had its eyes on this place. In the Immortal Plane, the presence of the Western Lands was pitifully weak, and the people here had no desire to expand outward. Thus, for millions of years, the Western Lands never encountered danger, and Amitabha’s Dharma Body was never used.”

“So, I opened the Dharma Body and comprehended Amitabha’s lifetime of insights, then lived out my second life.”

“Repeating this, I comprehended it three times, fully understanding everything in the Dharma body, living to my fourth life. But now, there is nothing left for me to comprehend, so I cannot live out a fifth life,” Monk Fayin said honestly. His three lifetimes could be said to have been given by Amitabha.

“May I see this Dharma Body?” Li Qingshan asked after a moment of contemplation, not beating around the bush.

“Of course,” Monk Fayin replied generously. He had no sectarian biases. He had previously chosen Li Qingshan, believing him to be the savior of the Immortal Plane. He still believed so now.

“Thank you, senior,” Li Qingshan expressed his gratitude.

“You want to view Amitabha’s Dharma Body to live out your ninth life?” Monk Fayin asked hesitantly.

“Yes.” Li Qingshan nodded. “My eighth life is nearing its end. After thinking about the entire Immortal Plane, this is the only place that can help me.”

“The ninth life…” Monk Fayin looked at Li Qingshan as if looking at a monster, filled with astonishment.

“I have never heard, even in the most fantastic legends, of anyone living nine lifetimes. What is it that you are aiming for, living ten thousand years a day?” Monk Fayin asked in shock.

“To grasp the Immortal Plane in my hands, to face the arrival of the Supreme Path, to break the dam’s blockade, and to open a new path for all beings!” Li Qingshan said with bright eyes and a determined tone.

Once he comprehended the 3,000 Rules, he would grasp the Immortal Plane in his hands. Facing the Supreme Path, he would be full of confidence, with nothing to fear.
