"How many lotuses are there here?"

By the Seven Treasures Pool, Immortal Zhenyuan asked.

"Countless."

Sun Wukong replied.

The lotuses in the Seven Treasures Pool could be large or small. Even if all sentient beings from worlds beyond measure were reborn into the Seven Treasures Pool, it would not be filled to capacity.

At that moment, aside from them, many monks were also standing by the pool.

These monks were welcoming those reborn; as soon as someone emerged, they immediately approached to drape a kasaya over that person, glowing brilliantly.

"Those kasayas are truly marvelous."

Immortal Zhenyuan marveled, "I wonder who designed them."

"I've seen them."

Sun Wukong spoke, as he too had been draped in a kasaya when he was reborn in the Seven Treasure Pond.

Strange, why are the natures of the Pure Lands similar in different worlds?

Sun Wukong thought curiously.

The Three Realms and Chaos are isolated from each other; the two Pure Lands are different but bear resemblances.

Is there a connection here?

Sun Wukong couldn't help but ponder.

The group waited a long time by the pool, witnessing the birth of many saints.

Suddenly, the God-beating Whip looked up, joyously watching the Seven Treasures Pool.

"I feel the aura of the Heaven and Earth Banner appearing."

He said.

Everyone looked over, and soon, a young man walked out.

"That's the Heaven and Earth Banner."

the God-beating Whip said.

The reborn Heaven and Earth Banner not only became younger, but the Buddha Light on him shone even brighter.

As he stepped out, a large group of monks came forward to drape a kasaya over him.

Different from other saints, the kasaya on the Heaven and Earth Banner emitted a crystal-clear light, like the stars.

"This robe is even prettier."

Immortal Zhenyuan couldn't help but say.

"Heaven and Earth Banner."

the God-beating Whip then went over.

The Heaven and Earth Banner asked the monks to step back and smilingly said: "You have come to fetch me again."

The God-beating Whip saw his smiling face and felt a sense of relief, thinking there seemed to be no problem.

"You're unharmed, that's good, Heaven and Earth Banner, but why did you say that before your rebirth?"

the God-beating Whip asked.

"What did I say?"

the Heaven and Earth Banner smilingly said: "I was joyfully undergoing rebirth, only remembering everyone's blessings."

The God-beating Whip was taken aback and asked, "Didn't you say, 'this isn't the Pure Land'?"

"I never said that."

The Heaven and Earth Banner was shocked and quickly shook his head: "How could I utter such absurd words, God-beating Whip, you must have drunk too much."

His face full of surprise, seemingly truly forgotten.

The God-beating Whip felt a sinking feeling.

What's going on here?

Did he hear wrong?

Impossible! Sun Wukong also heard it.

How could this be.

The God-beating Whip felt unsettled, and asked again, "Do you really not remember?"

He said, "You looked very pained at that time."

"Pain in the Pure Land?"

The Heaven and Earth Banner shook his head and said: "That's nonsense, seems a day of cultivation isn't enough."

He invited, "If you wish to stay here long, you'll need to cultivate with me, to purify the six roots."

The God-beating Whip visibly paled and took a step back.

No, no, this can't be!

The God-beating Whip looked at Sun Wukong: "Could I have heard wrong?"

"No."

Sun Wukong shook his head: "He definitely said it."

The God-beating Whip felt icy in his heart: "What's going on then?"

Sun Wukong looked coldly at the Heaven and Earth Banner, and after a long while, finally said: "Perhaps beings in this Pure Land have lost the sensation of pain."

"Your Majesty's words are incorrect."

The Heaven and Earth Banner replied: "We see through pain, but have never lost it."

"Is that so?"

Sun Wukong stretched out his hand and suddenly slapped the Heaven and Earth Banner flying.

"Great mana, Your Majesty."

The Heaven and Earth Banner got up and praised.

"It seems it's not enough yet."

Sun Wukong slightly furrowed his brow and said to the Heavenly Dog, "You go and teach him a lesson."

Though puzzled, the Heavenly Dog obeyed the order and disciplined the Heaven and Earth Banner.

The Heaven and Earth Banner rose from the ground, his face devoid of anger.

"Why aren't you angry when I hit you?"

The Heavenly Dog was surprised.

"Why be angry?"

"Why be angry?"

The Heavenly Dog was puzzled and said, "If someone attacks you, you naturally should be angry."

"You strange dog."

The Heaven and Earth Banner responded, "This is the Pure Land, where everyone is purified and clear, what is there to be angry about?"

The Heavenly Dog was startled and quickly ran back.

"Your Majesty, this man is strange!"

He reported to Sun Wukong.

"Such is the nature of all beings in the Pure Land."

Sun Wukong replied and glanced at the God-beating Whip, "Have you come to understand?"

The God-beating Whip's face turned pale, and he continuously shook his head: "No, impossible."

"So that's how it is."

Immortal Zhenyuan appeared to have an epiphany.

He shook his head and said, "It seems I had overestimated the White Robed Venerate."

Buddhism values purity, and Immortal Zhenyuan originally thought that the White Robed Venerate created catastrophes to let people experience worldly pains, thus hastening their journey to the Peaceful Garden to achieve purity.

But he didn't expect that the White Robed Venerate would also erase people's emotional pain.

"This is no Pure Land at all."

Immortal Zhenyuan shook his head.

Everyone felt a bit heavy-hearted.

"Isn't it good to be without pain?"

At this moment, another voice spoke up.

Everyone looked over and saw a girl blinking her big eyes and saying, "Without pain, isn't it just happiness left?"

"You naive child, you think too simply."

Immortal Zhenyuan was about to explain when the God-beating Whip suddenly seemed to remember something, grabbing the girl in panic.

"Did you drink that soup last night, is there anything wrong with your body?"

"Anything wrong?"

The girl shook her head: "No, I feel very good."

She stretched out her hand, named a type of pastry, and immediately a pastry appeared in her hand.

"Master, look."

The girl said with a smile, "I can now achieve whatever I think."

Her joyful expression, however, made the God-beating Whip extremely alarmed, and he quickly sought Sun Wukong's help.

Sun Wukong looked at the girl, who was changing various things in her hand with a naive and joyous demeanor.

"How did it turn out like this."

He inquired about the situation, his brow furrowing.

He wasn't in the palace last night; otherwise, he would have definitely stopped the girl from drinking that bowl of soup.

"Quick, ask her mother."

Sun Wukong said.

The God-beating Whip quickly inquired about the girl's mother.

"Mother must have reached the Pure Land."

The girl said, "She will definitely become a Buddha, and so will I."

The God-beating Whip despaired instantly, realizing his disciple must have been poisoned and had also forgotten pain.

"Immortal, please save my disciple!"

The God-beating Whip pleaded with Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong grabbed the girl's hand.

"Let me see."

He began to check the girl's pulse.

Immortal Zhenyuan asked the God-beating Whip to stand up, comforting him, "Esteemed brother is well-versed in medicinal knowledge, he will surely handle it."

As Sun Wukong checked the girl's pulse, his expression gradually became grave.

Seeing his expression, everyone grew worried.

"How is my disciple?"

The God-beating Whip asked anxiously.

"I'm afraid it's not just the loss of pain."

Sun Wukong retracted his hand and said, "The medicine's effects have entered her body, for now, we can only stabilize her."

He cast a spell to immobilize the girl.

"I've sealed her body and the medicinal effects; the medicine won't spread. We can look for an antidote now."

Sun Wukong said.
