The door of the rural bus closed slowly behind him with a dull thud, as if temporarily sealing off all light and sound from the outside world. The bus wasn't too crowded, filled with the faint smell of gasoline, dust, and the simple, rustic scent unique to the countryside—a blend of bamboo baskets and fresh vegetables carried by the villagers. This scent was not at all unfamiliar to Chen Mo; it was even etched deep into his childhood memories. Yet, smelling it again after so many years brought…-

The moment Chen Mo stepped out of the high-speed train door, mountain mist, carrying a cool breeze, brushed directly against his face. It wasn't the dry, stuffy wind of the city, but the scent unique to Yunan's deep mountains—carrying the fragrance of plants, the dampness of mountain streams. Light and faint, yet upon entering his nostrils, the string in his heart that had been taut for so long inexplicably tightened further. The platform was spacious and clean, the ground slightly…

The high-speed train traveled smoothly through the lightening dawn, the sound of the wheels grinding against the rails faint, almost gentle, becoming the only long, drawn-out background noise in the carriage. Chen Mo still leaned against the window, his posture unchanged, though the tension in his shoulders had slightly eased. The sky outside had completely shed the night, pale azure light spreading across the horizon, illuminating the continuous silhouettes of the distant landscape bit by…

The night was like a piece of black cloth soaked in water, pressing heavily upon the city. With less than forty minutes until departure, Chen Mo stood quietly in a corner of the high-speed rail station waiting hall, clutching his faded, old backpack. He didn't approach the seats, merely leaning slightly against the cold wall, his gaze lowered to his own pair of old shoes, which were clean but long since deformed from washing. Around him were travelers coming and going. The sound of…

The light in the hospital room had been turned on by the nurse at some point, casting a harsh white glow that illuminated every corner, revealing even the dust in the air. Chen Mo finally stirred from his stiff repose, slowly propping himself up. His movements were sluggish, each motion sending a wave of weakness through his limbs. A dull ache lingered in his internal organs, but it was nothing compared to the heavy emptiness in his heart. He no longer looked out the window at the bustling…

The ward was so quiet that only the faint hum of the machines remained, and even the ticking of the clock on the wall felt like a hammer striking bone. Chen Mo lay flat on the bed, his eyes wide open, staring blankly at the pale ceiling. No expression, no movement, even his breathing was extremely light. The doctor's few sentences had already been ground over and over in his mind. Late stage, spread, incurable. It wasn't that he wasn't afraid; it was that when faced with the absolute…

The summer heat in Chongqing City envelops the world like a scorching cauldron. The afternoon sunlight is blindingly bright, skyscrapers' glass facades reflecting harsh glares. The streets are bustling with traffic, honking horns, storefront music, and pedestrians chatting, all blending into a boiling cacophony. The entire city pulsates with life, almost excessively vibrant. Yet, all of this has nothing to do with Chen Mo. He rides a worn-out electric scooter, weaving awkwardly through the…

In the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sacred Land, that Kunpeng had already crushed the golden statue behind Complete Tranquility. The shattered golden statue turned into countless points of light that drifted continuously in the air, like a golden rain. "Old Monk, today is the day you die!" The Kunpeng clawed down toward Complete Tranquility. "Amitabha." Complete Tranquility pressed his palms together, chanted a Buddhist name, and closed his eyes, awaiting his…-

A golden Buddhist statue rose from behind Complete Tranquility, striking out with a palm that pressed against the sharp talons of the Kunpeng. "Clang!" As a massive boom echoed out, the golden Buddhist light and spiritual energy were shaken and dispersed. The Kunpeng opened its beak, and seawater was continuously compressed, eventually gathering within the Kunpeng's mouth. "Boom!" A massive water cannon blasted out, smashing into the golden Buddhist statue. Three…

Bodhi Holy Land, Ten Thousand Buddhas Continent. A woman wearing a golden dress sat on a small slope of a mountain peak, her peach blossom eyes quietly watching everything below. The clothes she wore resembled kasaya robes, yet they were not quite kasaya. Because there were no female monks in this world, there were no garments for female monks to wear. Thus, the Holy Master of Bodhi Holy Land thought it over and simply had something made that looked like a kasaya but…
