46: The three lifetimes unite as one, and all merits are fulfilled!

She came before Chu Ye, her hands clasped, her demeanor dignified and aloof, like an enlightened master receiving a visitor, yet on her pale cheeks, a faint blush was ultimately unavoidable.

Chu Ye said no more, first transmitting the profound and extraordinary Immortal Art of the Yin and Yang Grand Mirror Technique into her Sea of Consciousness.

Immediately, he uncharacteristically stepped forward slowly, examining her at close range.

Under the candlelight, the Buddhist Abbess's face was stunningly beautiful. The compassion and sanctity in her brows, combined with the breathtaking curves of her figure barely concealed by her Daoist robe, created a powerfully striking contrast.

"Buddhist Abbess," Chu Ye's voice was lowered, carrying a hint of playful amusement, "Since you are Cultivating this Dao... is this outer robe perhaps a bit... cumbersome?"

Abbess Jing An's breathing imperceptibly hitched, and her long eyelashes fluttered a few times.

She was not ignorant of worldly affairs, but having Cultivated in seclusion her entire life, her heart inevitably surged with emotion at this moment.

After a moment of silence, she closed her eyes, slowly raised her fair hand, her fingertips trembling slightly, and began to untie the sash of her Daoist robe.

As the plain robe slipped off, soft light seemed to spontaneously illuminate the bedchamber. Even Chu Ye, despite his extensive experience, couldn't help but inwardly gasp.

It was not mere plumpness, but a form that combined a sacred outline with astonishing fullness, truly a masterpiece of the Creator's favoritism, perfectly embodying the meaning of "tolerance makes one great."

His previous playful remark about "getting close to E" now seemed incredibly apt, even... somewhat humble.

"Heaven grants great power to the benevolent; this breadth of mind..." Chu Ye was filled with emotion, momentarily at a loss for words.

He composed himself, cleared his mind, and took a step forward, gently lifting the slightly stiff Buddhist Abbess into his arms and carrying her towards the already prepared cloud bed and brocade couch.

That night, winds surged and clouds gathered, as Dao Heart collided with mortal flesh, and precepts merged with instinct.

The sacred compassionate temperament and the breathtaking devilish figure formed an extreme contradiction and temptation on the Buddhist Abbess, bringing Chu Ye an unprecedented experience of conquest and sensory impact.

Only through "diligent and earnest" multi-faceted exploration could one grasp a fraction of its profound compassion.

That warm touch, that clear, low moan, that heart-trembling response—every frown, every smile, every movement—all seemed to possess a soul-snatching demonic power.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths... time was infinitely stretched in perception, yet also seemed to pass in an instant.

Three days and three nights, with sparse rain and strong winds, then the clouds dispersed and the rain ceased.

When the first ray of morning light shone through the window into the bedchamber, the System's prompt suddenly sounded:

[Successfully brought into the fold: Abbess Jing An (Three Lives Reincarnation Physique - Perfection)]

[Rewards issued: immortal realm breakthrough pill ×3, Emperor Realm breakthrough pill ×9, Immortal Essence Pill ×9]

[Special Rewards:]

Special Rewards: Buddhist Dao Treasure Mirror (contains all Buddhist Laws), Immortal Artifact Nine Dao Reincarnation Buddhist Beads (can ferry departed souls, attract good Power Of Will), Reincarnation Heavenly Law (can reshape Reincarnation, establish the Foundation of the Underworld)]

[Special Rewards: host's Cultivation increased: Heavenly Emperor Realm]

Chu Ye fulfilled his promise, feeding a precious immortal realm breakthrough pill into the mouth of the Buddhist Abbess in his arms.

The Medicinal Pill dissolved, and Immortal Qi permeated.

Unexpectedly, the Buddhist Abbess's Immortal Tribulation came peacefully and sacredly, without the usual thunderous suffering of ordinary Cultivators. Instead, it was like a blessing from the Heavenly Dao, using pure immortal light to cleanse her mortal dust and reshape her Immortal Physique, a process so smooth it was astonishing.

Even more miraculously, at the moment she achieved the Immortal Realm, three hazy phantoms appeared behind her, then quickly merged with her main body:

One, with solemn Buddhist light, like an ancient Buddha seated on a lotus, having undergone tribulations in the Mortal World. Its Buddhist light was pure and compassionate, resembling a female Bodhisattva holding a pure vase, seemingly capable of delivering all sentient beings from suffering;

One, with Devilish Qi as chilling as a prison, treading through blood, comprehending the Dao of Slaughter. Its Devilish Qi was condensed yet without evil, its gaze clear and sharp, wielding the authority of slaughter, solely to eradicate evil and protect the Dao;

The last one was her original appearance, with a clear Dao Heart, compassionate and gentle, capable of condensing the world's purest Power Of Will.

The three phantoms merged into one, like a single lotus and a single leaf, yet also like myriad heavens, layered and stacked, forming a single entity, seemingly separate yet merged, dispersed yet gathered, with the rhyme of the Great Dao flowing within.

This phenomenon, combined with her "tolerance makes one great" Physique, made Chu Ye suddenly realize that the previous joke about "getting close to E" truly aligned with a certain Heavenly Dao truth. The so-called "tolerance" was not just about accommodating a body, but about accommodating the Dao, the heavens and earth, and all living beings.

Three Lives in One, Perfection of Karma!

All power converged into one, and Abbess Jing An's aura surged, directly stabilizing at the Immortal Realm Triple Heaven! This was a profound accumulation.

Even Chu Ye had to exclaim, "Indeed, performing good deeds and accumulating Karma, the Heavenly Dao truly sees it."

"This good fruit is truly ripe!"

At this moment, Abbess Jing An possessed an ethereal immortal grace, her body enveloped in a peculiar mixed aura—both the sacred compassion of Buddha, the sharp heroism of a demon, and the pure naturalness of the Dao.

This complex and captivating charm instantly reignited the flame in Chu Ye's heart, which had just settled down.

"Cough,"

He leaned closer to the just-awakened Buddhist Abbess, whose eyes were still a bit hazy, and said earnestly, "Buddhist Abbess, having just entered the Immortal Realm, your Realm might be unstable. To ensure complete safety, you still need to... consolidate it further. I am always one to help to the very end."

With that, before she could fully react, he had already covered her.

And so, another six days and six nights of "arduous Cultivation" to consolidate her Realm continued in the bedchamber.

Chu Ye proved with his actions that he indeed possessed extraordinary enthusiasm and endurance for "helping others" and "academic research."

And so, again, the world turned upside down, and the spring tide rushed in with the evening rain.

Outside the window, the morning glow intensified, illuminating the bedchamber, yet unable to conceal the room's enchanting atmosphere intertwined with the wondrous Dao rhyme.

Several days later, Chu Ye, refreshed, stepped out of the hundred phoenix diagram alongside Abbess Jing An.

In the Southern Domain outside, the dust had settled, and the world had changed.

Empress Ni Chang, with decisive methods and undeniable evidence, exposed the bloody truth beneath Buddhism's millennia-old facade of hypocrisy to the public.

The people of the Southern Domain awoke as if from a dream, and the anger of shattered faith transformed into a surging torrent.

Temples that once enjoyed flourishing incense were torn down, golden Buddha statues were either set ablaze or smashed into pieces, and the once-dominant Buddhist forces experienced a "freefall"-like decline in a short period.

It perfectly illustrated the saying, "Watch him build a tall building, watch him watch that building collapse."

The Heavenly Dao cycles, with rise and fall.

In contrast, Daoist temples were preserved to the greatest extent, and their incense even flourished.

Of course, this included a "favor" from Empress Ni Chang, the new ruler. She knew Chu Ye's "hobbies" all too well. Since the aloof and ethereal Abbess Jing An had fallen into his hands.

It was only a matter of time before they called each other "sisters" in the future, so this slight consideration had to be given.

The Southern Domain was unified, and the overall situation was settled.

Chu Ye had little interest in such worldly affairs; his "core objective" for this trip had already been overfulfilled.

On the eve of his departure, he specifically sought out the tranquil Daoist temple where incense still burned and which the common people regarded as a new hope.

Inside the meditation room, sandalwood incense curled, and the atmosphere should have been solemn and respectful.

However, at this moment, Abbess Jing An, revered by the world as a "living Bodhisattva," was undergoing another personal "storm."

Chu Ye spoke with conviction, calling it "special therapy to cure old ailments and consolidate the new Realm."
