Chen Xuan and his three companions chased the old nun for another ten to fifteen days. To keep pace with her, they abandoned the idea of slowly exploring the Three Thousand Buddha Kingdoms like pilgrims on a journey to the West. Instead, they employed evasion techniques to sweep rapidly across thousands of Buddhist temples, arriving directly at the location of the Avici Buddha Kingdom.

Seven white-haired, elderly monks were either silently reciting Sanskrit, spinning their prayer beads with rapid fingers, or brandishing Buddhist artifacts like monk’s staves and alms bowls. The radiance of their Buddha-light was brilliant, majestic, and immensely solemn.
