Shang Yi nodded and responded: "After the Dharmakaya, the Taoists call it 'Golden Immortal', the Buddhists call it 'Buddha', the demons call it 'Little Saint', and 'Legend' is more of a general term for the characteristics of the realm."

When he told the three main characteristics of the legendary realm, Meng Qi suddenly understood.

“No wonder, no wonder the Taoist Golden Immortal, the Buddhist Buddha, the demon race’s Little Saint and other powerful beings are called legends. Only in this way can we accurately describe them whose deeds and rumors are spread throughout many universes.”

Just as Meng Qi was marveling at the magical realm of the legend, he saw Shang Yi, who was sitting cross-legged, stand up and take out something.

It's a small tree.

The sky was emerald green, with three branches and nine leaves, flowing with the light of vitality. After being illuminated for just a moment, Meng Qi had the illusion that he was a little younger.

"Tao spreads across the world?"

Meng Qi asked in surprise.

He was very familiar with the Dao rhyme emanating from the Dao Tree. It was the same as Jiang Zhiwei's White Rainbow Piercing the Sun Sword, both of which gave off the feeling of light penetrating through the universe and illuminating all the heavens and worlds.

"Xiao Meng, you will face several disasters in the future. I give you this item so that you can overcome them."

Shang Yi grabbed Meng Qi's hands and let him hold the Tree of Avenue.

Meng Qi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but think of more things, and for a moment he couldn't help feeling a little horrified.

If Shang Yi, the number one man in the world, is not sure that he can protect himself with the Dharmakaya Token, then the dangers he may encounter in the future are self-evident.

Meng Qi was not surprised as to how Shang Yi knew about the calamity that he had not yet encountered. After all, the other party had a deep attainment in the way of time and might have already seen that future, so he made arrangements in advance to change his future ending of death.

Touched, Meng Qi had thousands of words in his mind, which eventually turned into one sentence:

"Brother Lin, thank you very much."

Meng Qi cupped his hands.

Shang Yi said softly, "I know that the relationship between you and Ananda is complicated and deeply entangled. It depends on how you deal with it. I can only give you one warning, and I hope you can remember it."

Meng Qi looked serious and nodded solemnly. He replied, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Lin. I will definitely keep it in mind."

"Donghuang Taiyi hated Ananda to the core, and he hated him for several epochs. The same was true for the demon saint Fengxi who reached the other side in this epoch."

"I think you have a deep understanding of the sentence 'Those who practice Ananda's sword to break the precepts will be killed by demons.'"

Shang Yi said.

Meng Qi was confused. He recalled the ancient books he had read and after repeated confirmation, no matter which book it was, it all indicated that the ancient emperor Donghuang Taiyi was killed by the God Haotian in the last era.

Could it be that Donghuang Taiyi was not actually dead, but had secretly lived to this era? Did he eventually meet Ananda and become his enemy?
But Ananda, even if he was the number one war god in heaven in his previous life, the Nine Heavens Thunder God, how could he have a grudge against Donghuang Taiyi, a great figure from the other side of the ancient era? Even if the latter was in a bad state due to stealing, it was impossible.

Could it be that Lord Haotian is so powerful...

Meng Qi's pupils suddenly shrank and he couldn't help but shudder.

The Emperor of Heaven of the last era...Haotian God did not fall with the end of the era. Instead, he was the one who changed the world and reincarnated in the ancient thunder pool, and finally acted as the Nine-Sky Thunder God?
The one he was facing was actually Haotian God, who had killed another great figure on the other side? Rather than just Jiutian Thunder God who was born at the beginning of this era?
Only this can explain why Donghuang Taiyi hated Ananda so deeply. After all, it was a murderous feud, so naturally they were irreconcilable.

Only a demon saint who had lived through multiple eras and finally reached the other side would have left behind those words. Otherwise, with Ananda's cultivation level at that time, even if he was one of the ten great disciples of the Buddha, he would not have been able to catch the eyes of the demon saint, let alone utter such hateful words.

And if Ananda is the reincarnation of Haotian God, everything can be explained. At that time, Haotian God had an entanglement with the Demon Saint who had not yet transcended the sea of ​​suffering that was unknown to outsiders, and eventually became what he is today.

Meng Qi was so excited that he couldn't calm down for a long time. Compared with Ananda's name as the Demon Buddha, the name of Haotian God was really too loud. Even though countless ages had passed, even though the heavens and myriad worlds had completely collapsed and were reopened, the deeds of Haotian God were still circulating in the world.

"When it comes to the great men on the other side, everything you think will be known. If you can't even stop thinking about it, then everything is over. What's more frightening than tampering with the past is occupying the future."

After Shang Yi gave the warning, he waved goodbye to Meng Qi.

Meng Qi was stunned for a long time. He didn't expect that when he came to the commercial building to seek answers to doubts about fishermen and fish, he would hear a secret that was shocking enough to shock the world. In particular, this secret was closely related to his own life.

After an incense stick of time, Meng Qi looked at Shang Yi sitting on the cushion with his eyes closed and had nothing more to say. He bowed and turned to leave.

He murmured in his mind: "Occupy the future... Occupy the future... Fishing line?"

Lin Yang specifically pointed out the ability of the big shots on the other side to occupy the future, which made Meng Qi come up with more ideas.

This is also because Lin Yang was not sure whether his appearance would affect Meng Qi and prevent him from understanding the matter himself, so he pointed it out deliberately.

In the following time, Shang Yi continued to awaken the projection of Fu Huang's other self, enlightening his other self, while also receiving the other self of the World-Free King Buddha.

Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Under the money tree, Shang Yi suddenly appeared on the cushion, sitting cross-legged, and the feeling of emptiness emanating from his body quickly faded away.

A phantom of the universe appeared here, the Buddha lowered his eyes, so tall that the end could not be seen, and all the spirits were worshiping him.

The void swayed, and a ray of spiritual light was cast from the infinite height, and instantly merged into Shang Yi's body.

The projection of the World-Free King Buddha in the alien universe was empty and the shadow faded, while Shang Yi underwent earth-shaking changes at the same time. The nature of the caves formed by the opening of acupoints was improving, becoming more ethereal and unpredictable, as if covering the universe, and every cell of flesh and blood was agitated and gradually evolving.

In the small courtyard, law and reason were shaking, time was slightly curled up, and there was gradually a sense of isolation from the outside world.

If it weren't for the suppression of the money tree, the strange phenomenon would probably not be limited to the courtyard, but would even cover the entire town and even the mountains.

Ruan Yushu on the side opened his eyes, not solemnly, but looking at Shang Yi with joy.

Obviously, Shang Yi has taken a step further.

Several years ago, when the war between Great Jin and Northern Zhou was at a stalemate, Gao Lan, the king of Northern Zhou, stepped onto the border holding the Human Emperor Sword, intending to crush Great Jin with one mighty force, invade in the shortest possible time, unify the Central Plains, and occupy important areas of the real world.

At that time, Zhao Wuyan, knowing that there was a gap in strength between him and Gao Lan, did not dare to take chances. He, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, personally went to the Shanglou and invited Shang Yi out, promising that as long as they could stop Gao Lan and protect the Great Jin Dynasty, the Shanglou would get many privileges.

Although Shang Yi had no objection to Gao Lan unifying the Central Plains, the crown prince of the Great Jin Dynasty was the reincarnation of Maitreya. He was worried that after Gao Lan was close to success, the crown prince would consume the power of the human race to perform mechanical deification, which was not what Shang Yi wanted to see.

Moreover, he also had to remind Gao Lan of this matter, lest the fight among the human race's emperors give the Buddhist sect an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

In that battle, Shang Yi still used the God of Wealth Sword transformed from gold ingots to fight against Gao Lan, who held the Human Emperor Sword that had awakened to the Earth Immortal level.

The result is self-evident. Even though Gao Lan is close to being an earthly immortal and the Human Emperor Sword is stronger than normal divine weapons of the same level, he is still far from being Shang Yi's opponent.

After the First World War, the world was in turmoil.

Gao Lan, who wields the Human Emperor Sword, ranks second on the Heavenly List, surpassing the grassland Khan Guldo. He practices the Human Emperor inheritance and is the undisputed king of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. His strength will be further improved when he is above the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It can be said that there is not much difference between him and the Earth Immortal.

Coupled with the peculiarity of the Golden Book of the Human Emperor, Gao Lan was able to achieve similar ubiquitous legendary features in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the gap between him and Shang Yi was not much, so he would not fall into a one-sided situation.

However, what the world did not expect was that even though Gao Lan was already so powerful, even if he was not as powerful as Shang Yi in the original speculation, he would not be much inferior if he did not leave the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

But the result... In less than an incense stick of time, Shang Yi defeated Gao Lan, who was in his strongest state, with great force and had the upper hand from beginning to end.

If Shang Yi had not been interested in observing the magic of the "Golden Book of the Human Emperor" and wanted to replicate and deduce it with the "Free Universe Kung Fu", he would not have been in a hurry to end the battle. Even if the essence of the Human Emperor Sword was of the other shore level and was unusually compatible with Gao Lan, it would have been a miracle for Gao Lan to hold on for hundreds of breaths after only resurrecting to the Earth Immortal level. How could he be defeated after nearly an incense stick of time?

In the small courtyard, Ruan Yushu looked at Shang Yi and whispered:
"Is this the legendary power of the celestial being? The inner world is sublimated into a cave heaven, transformed into a source, reflecting the outside world and forming a 'blessed land'?"

In Ruan Yushu's eyes, although Shang Yi appeared here in human form, his size was so terrifying that it was beyond ordinary imagination. He was no different from the sun in the universe. His mere existence here was like the center of heaven and earth, instinctively attracting many planets to surround him and forming an ecosystem in the empty and cold universe.

"The celestial beings are high above, shining down on the world."

Ruan Yushu took a deep breath. She had now reached the realm of half-step Dharmakaya, so she could see more things.

In his vision, every basic particle of Lin Yang's flesh and blood evolved into a universe. Some were full of vitality, some were filled with deep and surging death, and some were incredibly hot. The rules of the universes were all different.

And above the nearly countless universes is a place where the clear and the turbid coexist, formed by the fusion of many acupoints. In addition to its extremely high nature, it completely envelops the numerous universes, and transcends them, becoming a supreme place in itself.

The 'multiverse structure' of each 'era' in this world is different, so before the cave was formed, Lin Yang made some minor adjustments to create this scene.

The Nine Heavens, the Nine Netherworlds, and the real world overlap, and outside of them is the multiverse.

……

"congratulations······!"

Ruan Yushu said with some surprise, but was stopped by Shang Yi.

Shang Yi said:

"Here, with the Money Tree's protection, He can't sense my breakthrough. You should be more cautious from now on and don't tell anyone. I have a feeling that when you face Him this time, He will show his hand!"

Ruan Yushu immediately understood what Shang Yi was talking about and said softly:

"I will be careful!"

Shang Yi nodded and said:
"Take the black bird with you. It is now a divine weapon of the celestial level. If there is any abnormality, trust Hu Jiu. It is my clone!"

Ruan Yushu nodded in understanding and said:

"I will be careful!"

On the other side, late at night, the mission was about to begin. Meng Qi closed his eyes, suddenly stood up, took one step at a time, penetrated through the void, and appeared outside the Shaolin Temple!

The night sky is filled with stars and the Shaolin Temple is unusually quiet, worthy of being called a peaceful place of Buddhism.

Meng Qi's arrival did not attract anyone's attention. He walked step by step to the main entrance with a deep look in his eyes.

Once you go to Lingshan, you may never return.

No matter how much blessing and protection you give, it will all be in vain.

I, the disciple, will fail to live up to your expectations, Master...

Meng Qi slowly knelt down, supported himself with his hands, and kowtowed slowly towards the main gate of Shaolin Temple.

This matter has nothing to do with the wind and the moon.

You are my only teacher in this world!
He stood up, turned his head, walked down the steps step by step, and walked into the distance. His bald head grew black, his temples turned gray, his gray robe turned into a blue shirt, and there was a long sword in his hand.

Ten years as a solitary monk, ten years as a lotus, today I am a "mad swordsman" again.

He is so angry that he wants to strike with his sword!
The moon does not cover the stars, and the shadows of the trees dance, swaying like demons.

The man in green robe stood straight with his long sword hanging at an angle. His shadow followed the bright moon, neither leaning to the left nor to the right, gradually moving farther and farther away until he disappeared.

Twenty years of journey in the world, life and death in one day.

During these ten years, due to the reincarnation mission maliciously arranged by the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he accidentally killed Gu Xiaosang, with whom he had a secret crush on. Eventually, he became a monk and lived with the green lamp and ancient Buddha.

After Shang Yi's advice and Meng Qi's own experiences along the way, he already knew who was behind the scenes...

Seeing that his fish was showing signs of resistance, Ananda warned him.

After ten years of sitting in solitude, the knife in my heart became sharper and sharper, and finally it was time to end it.

Even if it means a fight to the death, we must not let Ananda succeed, escape from the suppression of the Buddha, and bring disaster to the world again.

Do you really think you can manipulate him at will?
The familiar statues of mythical beasts and birds, the familiar white marble floor tiles, the familiar mist in the sky, the familiar central column of light, and the familiar reincarnation square appeared before Meng Qi's eyes again.

However, today, my mood is no longer the same. I am neither afraid nor excited. I just watch quietly.

The Avenue Tree has been recovered, and the rest of the exchanges are no longer necessary.

A column of misty light rose up, and Zhao Heng, wearing the Ming Huang Emperor's robe, stepped out. He had two black mustaches on his lips, and his eyes and temperament were much more mature and restrained. He was majestic and had the aura of an emperor. He was a great change from ten years ago.

When Zhao Heng saw Meng Qi, he was not surprised or confused. Instead, he smiled, walked up to Meng Qi like a dragon or a tiger, raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and slowly hit him.

Meng Qi's eyes were still somewhat dead and hidden, but his expression softened and he smiled slightly. He then clenched his right fist and punched out, colliding with Zhao Heng's fist in mid-air.

Snapped!
"We can fight side by side again!" Zhao Heng withdrew his hand and said with a smile. His words were concise, without any greetings or questions.

Although the ten-year interval did not bring any unfamiliarity, everyone had changed under the influence of time. Zhao Heng had obviously become much quieter and more dignified.

Just as Meng Qi was about to speak, two more beams of light descended. Jiang Zhiwei was wearing an apricot-yellow dress, holding a sword. She was just as bright, as generous, and as resolute as ever. She was the one who had changed the least, or rather, she had already gone through the polishing and washing of the Death Gate.

Ruan Yushu still looked to be in her twenties, wearing a white dress, looking cool and unworldly, with her hair tied up in a bun and holding a guqin horizontally, just like a fairy from Guanghan who had descended to earth. However, the childish innocence between her eyebrows and in her eyes had completely disappeared, and she looked more and more ethereal, as if she would fly up to the heavens and leave the world in the blink of an eye.

With their current realm, strength and accumulation from previous reincarnations, there is no need to exchange them specifically before the mission. Those that can be used must complete the exclusive mission and are difficult to use in an emergency. Good deeds should be accumulated to prepare for the deductions for the mission and items such as magic weapons.

The four of them sat cross-legged. Jiang Zhiwei talked about the interesting experiences of the previous missions. Zhao Heng and Ruan Yushu added a sentence from time to time. The atmosphere was peaceful and calm, with a touch of timelessness.

Just when Meng Qi thought that his life would continue to be beautiful like this, the light and shadows changed before his eyes, and the indifferent and merciless voice of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation rang in his ears.

"After the fall of Heaven, the Demon Saint, who took advantage of the Buddha's nirvana to make a breakthrough, led the other great saints and many demon gods to fight their way into the core sacred mountain of the Pure Land of Posuo. In this battle, all the Buddhas passed away, and the demons were lost. Only the Demon Saint and a few people in the sacred mountain escaped. From then on, Posuo disappeared, and the sacred mountain was in ruins and could not be found anywhere."

"Main quest: Return to Lingshan and find the last whereabouts of the Great Saints and Demon Gods. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with 15,000 merits. If you fail, the corresponding merits will be deducted."

"Side quest: Investigate the truth of the battle at Lingshan Mountain in the past. If you succeed, you will be rewarded with the Good Fortune Pill. If you fail, there will be no punishment."

When the words disappeared, Meng Qi and the others had already seen the environment clearly. This was a dilapidated Mahavira Hall, full of traces of erosion by time and destruction by external forces. There was an incense table in front, empty on it, and the surroundings were dim.
