Chapter 553-2: Martial Emperor’s Imperial Notes, One Seed, One Sprout, One Spring (2)
[Fortunately, the immortal venerates did not turn Us away, nor did they lower themselves to Our level. It seems that to the Daoist immortal venerates, the Incense Power of the whole Vermilion nation does not count as anything precious.]
[The receiving child treated Us with courtesy. Seeing the child’s expression even made Us develop an illusion: whether it is hundreds of millions of common people, or you, Emperor of Vermilion, if you believe, then believe. If you do not believe, then leave at once. Do not disturb this child’s heart of pursuing the Dao and ascending.]
[Seeing the child’s attitude, We suddenly awakened. Where exactly do the western gods and Buddhas cultivate great prajna and great freedom?]
[True great freedom is no more than this…]
[Penglai Island seemed like an immortal palace fallen to the earth. We followed the receiving child deep into the island, but did not see the many immortal venerates recorded in Daoist scriptures, nor did We receive an audience with Dao Ancestor.]
[The one We met was a female immortal Primordial Lady We had never heard of before. According to the child, she is Dao Ancestor’s newly accepted disciple.]
[Purple Void Primordial Lady’s beauty is like a heavenly being, and her cultivation is heaven-reaching and earth-penetrating. But as We observed the Primordial Lady’s speech and behavior, We faintly felt that before the Primordial Lady attained the Dao and became an immortal, she did not seem to be a person of the Central Plains?]
[Purple Void Primordial Lady conveyed Dao Ancestor’s instructions to Us. Enma once left behind One Seed, One Sprout, and One Spring, respectively bestowing them upon the left and right attendants under His seat and upon Lady Ziguang, Central Heaven Brahma Qi Doumu Primordial Lady, who assisted Him.]
[The left and right attendants are Great Wisdom Endless Intent Bodhisattva and Ten Great Vows Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, respectively holding One Seed and One Sprout, while that One Spring is now in Penglai.]
[If Martial Emperor wishes to seek a thread of life, he must request One Seed or One Sprout from the Bodhisattva.]
[As long as he can obtain any one of One Seed or One Sprout, Vermilion may be able to continue its life…]
[…]
[After discussing in detail, We left Penglai with heavy worries and returned to the imperial palace.]
[Because the Primordial Lady told Us that Enma’s left and right attendants are very likely the same as the countless western gods and Buddhas, all unknowingly falling into Extreme Evil while possessed by evil spirits.]
[If We wish to call upon the two Bodhisattvas to obtain One Seed and One Sprout, the risk is truly too great. If there is even the slightest carelessness, it will be a state of eternal damnation.]
[We thought for a long time, and then happened to receive the disastrous news of a crushing defeat from the front lines.]
[We finally made up Our mind and decided to take the risk.]
[With Our imperial edict, the construction of Qinan Hall was completed very quickly, and the Primordial Lady’s image was also finished by the best artisans of the Inner Court.]
[We decided to call upon Enma’s right attendant, Ten Great Vows Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, during the opening blessing ceremony of Qinan Hall.]
[…]
[…]
[We won the gamble!]
[Ten Great Vows Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is different from those gods and Buddhas already possessed by evil spirits. As Enma’s right attendant, She truly has supreme great divine abilities upon Her body and has not yet fallen into Extreme Evil.]
[The Great Bodhisattva handed One Sprout to Us, and informed Us to nourish One Sprout with sweet spring. When the true timing arrives, We may go to Penglai again, and the Daoist immortal venerates will naturally tell Us what to do afterward.]
[And after losing the protection of One Sprout, the Great Bodhisattva will fall into Extreme Evil in a few days. We must not call Her to descend and manifest again.]
[The Great Bodhisattva did not tell Us when the true timing would be, so We could only make offerings to the Primordial Lady every month to nourish One Sprout and dispel the malice silently staining Us…]
[…]
[In the blink of an eye, over half a year has passed. Military matters on the front lines are retreating step by step. The land of Vermilion is broken, its mountains and rivers shattered, corpses lying everywhere.]
[Sindhu Kingdom’s army has advanced like breaking bamboo, already attacking all the way to the capital. The great army has arrived beneath the city walls…]
[We… cannot wait any longer!]
[We do not know when the true timing is, but We know that if We continue bitterly waiting for the timing without doing anything, then Vermilion will fall today!]
[We are determined to call upon Enma’s left attendant and gather the One Seed, One Sprout, and One Spring!]
[At present, there is only this method. Perhaps after gathering the three items, the true timing will arrive early!]
[…]
[…]
[Hahahaha!]
[We won the gamble again!]
[Although the capital has already turned into a ruin in the great battle, the imperial palace was preserved in the end, and Sindhu Kingdom’s great army has also retreated…]
[This Great Dark Endless Delusion Bodhisattva is truly beautiful!]
[She surpasses Our imperial concubines and beauties a hundredfold, a thousandfold. If We could spend one night of romance and pleasure with her, even if We had to give up the rivers and mountains and the imperial throne with both hands, We would be willing.]
[Unfortunately, this left attendant Great Bodhisattva’s Incense Power dojo is in Sindhu Kingdom. Calling her to descend and manifest again would be too troublesome.]
[But the right attendant Ten Great Vows Samantabhadra Bodhisattva is also not bad-looking, and Her Incense Power dojo is right here in the capital…]
[…]
[The taste of the right attendant Great Bodhisattva truly is worldly bliss. So the true timing that the Great Bodhisattva spoke of was precisely this moment. So that is how it is! So that is how it is!]
[Hehe, these western gods and Buddhas appear solemn and dignified, but upon the bed, they are even more wanton than prostitutes. Truly wonderful beyond words.]
[The Great Bodhisattva was subdued by Our bedchamber arts, bestowed Us with a God-Inviting Spell for self-protection, and also gave Us a red hemp rope to use as an object of bedroom amusement in the future.]
[As a return gift, afterward We gave the tender sprout worn on Our chest to the Great Bodhisattva. Wearing this thing feels so terribly uncomfortable. We do not know why We wore this thing on Our chest back then.]
[Eh… where did this item come from? Why do We suddenly no longer remember?]
[We looked through the imperial notes recorded earlier, yet could not find the slightest clue. Truly strange!]
[…]
[…]
[We often call the Great Bodhisattva to descend to the mortal world for worldly bliss. Those palace beauties who were once beautiful now appear extremely ugly to Us one by one, unable to compare even to one of the Great Bodhisattva’s little toes.]
[We can clearly feel that the more We couple with the Great Bodhisattva, the more the Buddhist qi in Our body surges and roils…]
[To this day, the Buddhist qi has finally overflowed, and We have received the summons of the heavenly mandate of the firmament, Ancient Heavenly Enma!]
[…]
[…]
[We have become a true Son of Heaven, become Ancient Heavenly Enma’s proxy!]
[We shoulder the will of the heavens above and prepare to go out to sea eastward in search of Penglai, intending to remove those Daoist immortal venerates who have long since betrayed and are covered in evil spirits for the heavens!]
[This is the mandate of heaven. We are duty-bound!]
[It is only a pity that after going out to sea eastward, We will leave the Great Bodhisattva’s Incense Power dojo. If We want to enjoy pleasure with the Bodhisattva again, We will have to wait until We return from the east…]
[We cannot help recalling how the Great Bodhisattva was bound upon the bed by the red hemp rope, struggling with all Her might and crying out yet unable to move… Since the Great Bodhisattva so loves this kind of boudoir pleasure, how could We go against the beauty’s wishes?]
[We also take joy in it!]
[What a pity, what a pity. We can only choose several consorts to cross the sea eastward with Us, so as to relieve Our loneliness…]
[…]
[The handwritten content of the imperial notes ends here.]
After Lin Xun finished browsing the Document item, countless characters flashed through his eyes.
When Martial Emperor first crossed eastward to Penglai, Purple Void Primordial Lady told Martial Emperor that if he wanted to seek a chance of survival, he had to ask for One Sprout or One Seed.
Afterward, Martial Emperor summoned the right attendant Great Bodhisattva, was bestowed with One Sprout, and continuously nourished this item with sweet spring while waiting for the timing the Great Bodhisattva spoke of.
Lin Xun knew that the so-called true timing should be waiting for the evil god to cross the void, leave this world, and then head to Penglai to carry out the Impure World Reincarnation plan for Ancient Heavenly Enma.
It was just that before Martial Emperor could wait for the true timing, Vermilion Kingdom could no longer hold on.
Martial Emperor could only go all in, calling upon Enma’s left attendant again and thinking that perhaps after gathering One Seed and One Sprout, the true timing could arrive early.
Unfortunately, Martial Emperor lost the second gamble. The one he called was not Great Wisdom Endless Intent Bodhisattva, but the Bodhisattva’s Present Self, who had already fallen into Extreme Evil…
From that point on, Martial Emperor fell into Extreme Evil.
