"To behold the true nature, everything is void; in an instant, enlightenment sees all phenomena as one. Once the splendor is unable to hide, we confront the reality, stark and bare."
Within the dark void, long Buddhist chants are being recollected.
The sound of spinning Buddha Beads, the striking of bells and chimes, the somber echo of the Mokugyo, the chanting of monks... multiple echoing sounds converge at this moment.
It is as if one has entered a majestic palace, where even the air seemed imbued with the scent of incense.
Li Muyang watched such darkness in silence, waiting.
From the depths of the void, the long Buddhist chants resonated again.
"Decided to speak, Buddha's heart is imprinted; some refuse to believe as truth dictates. Directly addressing the root, peeling leaves and searching branches gradually teach."
The next second, the darkness dispersed.
A gilded Buddha stood amidst the clouds.
