In the Northern Continent, there exists a Treasure Pond vast as the sea.
Buddha stands by the pool, a Black Lotus falling from his fingertips, drifting down upon a lotus seat, sinking into the waters.
This is no ordinary water but Merit Water, with eight distinct properties.
The Black Lotus dissolved in the water, never to be found again before it even reaches the golden sands of the pond's bottom.
"This is indeed what Amitabha's will has been anticipating."
Buddha spoke with joy brimming in his heart.
Behind him, various Buddhas and Bodhisattvas stood on stairs made of gold, silver, crystal, and glass.
They all wore faces of delight.
"Buddha."
The Eastern Buddha stepped forward and asked, "What is this Black Lotus?"
He remembered Sun Wukong mentioning a Black Lotus, which seemed to be the one just used by Buddha to test the Seven Treasures Pool.
"We must not speak of this matter."
