Before leaving, the Golden Pearl exchanged some Buddhist teachings with Wei Yuan.
Afterwards, she praised the Three Realms Path, but her final comment revealed her true opinion: Wei Yuan's grand aspirations were too grand, almost akin to empty fantasies.
In comparison, the Pure Land's method of solely cultivating oneself was practical and had already achieved many Fruit Positions. Even though Wei Yuan believed it had various issues, it was still more substantial than Wei Yuan's Three Realms Path.
This was a philosophical debate; neither could convince the other.
After the Golden Pearl's departure, the northern warfare ended in a way completely unexpected by the world. The Liao Army within the encirclement surrendered on the spot, while the hundreds of thousands of Liao Army outside fiercely assaulted, yet under the all-out firepower coverage from the Qingming Defense Line free from internal-external threats, every assault by the Liao Army left nothing but a pile of corpses.
