heaven money

Taiyue Mountain, headquarters of Shanglou.

Sitting under the money tree, Shang Yi watched the gray-robed Curtain-Rolling Envoy step into the hall and said:

"Sha Wujing... I have long heard of your name."

Who could have thought that Sha Wujing, who was perhaps not even a celestial being during the Journey to the West, would be able to return to the world as a legendary powerful being today, eternity later.

Upon hearing the name 'Sha Wujing', the Curtain-Rolling Divine Envoy revealed a look of nostalgia and sighed slightly:
"It seems that the owner of the Shang building knows something about the Journey to the West."

Sha Wujing was given this name by Guanyin Bodhisattva after he came to the human world and was enlightened. It represents the past events of the Journey to the West and some grudges and hatreds that had to be given up.

If he was a newly-promoted powerful being who was unaware of the existence of the world of Journey to the West, he could only be called the 'Curtain-Pulling Divine Envoy', and it would be impossible for him to say this name.

"Although I have no direct hatred with Wusheng Old Mother, I have a very good relationship with Junior Brother Su (Meng Qi), and Junior Brother Su is unlikely to give up on resurrecting Gu Xiaosang. There is no need for me to say more."

Shang Yi said indifferently.

Although he knew that Gu Xiaosang was the product of Wusheng Laomu's manipulation of Jianqiukong, and not a target that had to be killed, at this time he could only pretend not to know, so as to avoid any unexpected twists and turns that might cause greater variables.

Do subtraction and find emptiness...

Ordinary people, and even normal big shots on the other side, are all adding things up, establishing various connections with the outside world in order to maintain their survival and strengthen themselves.

The ancients, on the other hand, were doing subtraction, separating themselves from the greater universe bit by bit, eliminating all kinds of causes and effects, and ultimately having no entanglement with the outside world, becoming a completely "transparent" existence, becoming "empty".

This was a feasible method that was explored bit by bit by Dao Zun in an era when the great figures on the other side did not know the way forward. That is why Dao Zun was able to surpass Yuanshi Tianzun, who was born from the other side, and attained the "Tao Fruit", which is equivalent to something that can only be forcibly described one-sidedly and forcibly remembered as "Tao".

The result of this path is that the ancients who aspire to the fruit of the Tao are very concerned about cause and effect. Although the cause and effect of the overturning of the heavens is like a breeze to them, in order to achieve the "fruit of the Tao", they have to be cautious so as not to affect the practice of reduction and pursuit of emptiness.

After hearing Shang Yi's words, Sha Wujing's mood was slightly shaken. He suppressed all the things about the Journey to the West in his heart. He stared at Lin Yang with his colorless eyes and said:

"My mother asked me to tell you a few words..."

"One of the symbols of the end of an era is the fall of the ruler of all the heavens and worlds."

"As long as the ruler of the heavens and myriad worlds lives, the era will not end, and the opportunity for the fruit of the Tao will not appear."

“And at this moment, there are more than one or two great figures who aspire to achieve the Dao Fruit. It’s good that they haven’t returned yet. If they return…”

When Sha Wujing's words reached his ears, Shang Yi frowned slightly.

Then he smiled and said:
"Does He also think that I have ambitions to become the Heavenly Emperor?"

Shang Yi was delighted. He had never thought that his development of business would be considered as coveting the position of Heavenly Emperor. It was really...
Suddenly, Shang Yi felt that it was normal for the other party to think so, because he really had the ability to become the Emperor of Heaven.

If an ordinary person shouts that he wants to become the Emperor of Heaven, no one will pay attention. But for someone like Shang Yi, who has taken the lead in this era and also incarnated as the descendant of the Emperor of Heaven and defeated the Overlord in the Middle Ages, even if he does not have the idea of ​​becoming the Emperor of Heaven, those ambitious people will be wary and want to get themselves out of the game first.

Sha Wujing, who was standing opposite Shang Yi, looked at his laughing expression and immediately understood his thoughts. He had neither the ambition to become the Emperor of Heaven nor the idea of ​​joining Zhenkong's hometown. Sha Wujing sighed and did not try to persuade him:
"Master Shang, take care of yourself!"

Turning around, Sha Wujing walked outside.

There is no way the mother would let Gu Xiaosang go, letting her become stronger and eventually weaken herself.

Therefore, Su Meng, who tried to resurrect Gu Xiaosang, was also a thorn in his mother's side. Since this was the case, Emperor Yang was unlikely to change his mind, so there was no point in saying more.

Long after Sha Wujing left, the determination on Shang Yi's face faded and he returned to calm.

He acted to this extent, with his outward expression and inner emotions being perfectly consistent with his character. Even Mother Wusheng would not be able to see through him.

It is true that the big man on the other side is almost omniscient and omnipotent, but after all, he is only almost omniscient and omnipotent, which defies logic. It is impossible to understand the thoughts in the heart of a legendary big man before his original body returns to the long river of time.

Shang Yi's mind turned, and he thought about the various things about the Mother of No Birth.

In the beginning, when His era began, the innate gold of all the heavens and worlds took shape. He was an innate god who mastered the great way of 'gold', and it was very likely that he was born with great supernatural powers.

Later, he and four others who had achieved perfect creation dominated the world, surpassing all the mighty and powerful people at the beginning of the era, and were revered as the Five Emperors.

It was not until a long time after the fall of heaven, when the real world reached the early Middle Ages, that He, having gained something, completely let go of the past, broke free from the sea of ​​suffering, became a great man, and called himself the "Mother of No Birth".

Because the Mother of No Birth attained enlightenment relatively late, not too long ago, it is impossible for her to defy fate and become an ancient being, so the bigwigs on the other side did not doubt the relationship between Gu Xiaosang and her. In addition, the Mother of No Birth had made great progress in practicing the 'Wuji Seal' and was good at covering up various possibilities in the future, so no one in the original time and space had ever disrupted her efforts to reduce the void, allowing those enemies who were happy to see Gu Xiaosang become stronger and thus weaken the Mother of No Birth to sit back and watch, and some even protected Gu Xiaosang.

Human Resources Department of Commercial Building.

Su Daji had a professional smile on her face. She sent off another mortal on probation, and then, without repeating the action she had done tens of thousands of times before, she contacted the applicants based on the screened resumes.

I sensed that the owner of the business building had arrived.

"I wonder what the host is here for?"

She stood up, her smile fading slightly.

When the words came out, Shang Yi suddenly appeared on the opposite side, and then he heard Shang Yi say:
"Those who meet the requirements during the probation period can be allowed to sign contracts and become official managers. Of course, the various restrictions of the contract must be made known in advance to avoid regrets and half-hearted work in the future."

As you wish. "

Su Daji replied, even though she was reluctant, she had to smile.

The person who originally said that the department responsible for the probationary period assessment was herself.

After being captured in the Middle Ages, after some things happened, she reluctantly left her true spirit in the "Daobing Cave Heaven" on the sixth floor of the Shanglou. Finally, with the blessing of the Shanglou Cave Heaven, she was transformed from a celestial being into a powerful deity comparable to normal legendary ones.

Because her power is rather special, she possesses some characteristics of the legendary realm, so it is easy for her to monitor the immortal gods on probation in different universes.

"As long as you abide by the original agreement, I will also abide by it."

Shang Yi said.

If one wants to supervise countless universes, only gods who are as powerful as those in the legend can do it. Doing it personally would be a waste of energy. In addition, the only fairy around him at the time was Su Daji, so after thinking about it, Shang Yi made a decision.

He told Su Daji that as long as she handled this matter well, he would let her go when the era began again.

He would even help her to go further because she was the last princess of the Shang Dynasty.

Regardless of what Su Daji was thinking at the time, she finally agreed.

"It will be at most five hundred years until the end of the era, or even only two or three hundred years. I can still hold on for such a short time."

Su Daji saw Shang Yi disappearing before her eyes, and her mind turned:
"This is the end of the world. Even the great men on the other side dare not say whether there will be another era. Otherwise, the fight between them would not be so fierce. However, compared to indefinite imprisonment, at least there is a vague thought..."

A certain universe. "It's been a month..."

Zhang Lin held the Universal Identity Talisman and took a deep breath.

He didn't know whether his performance had passed the review. In addition, he didn't want to lose his current identity after seeing the vast world through the All-Realm Identification Symbol during this period of time.

The manager of a commercial building, even if he is just the lowest level one, can make countless people jealous.

Just when he was worried about the outcome, suddenly, the All-Recognition Talisman in his hand trembled slightly, and a communication request came.

Looking at the familiar number, it was the contact person of the commercial building. Zhang Lin used his profound skills to calm his mind. Then he sent out his thoughts and chose to answer the call.

He said, "I am the immortal Zhang Chuan on probation..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard an extremely pleasant voice that he would never forget coming from the Universal Identification Symbol.

"Congratulations, Zhang Lin. Your performance during the probation period has been recognized by us. You are now eligible to sign a contract and become a formal manager of a commercial building."

Although the voice was gentle and moving, it was just a routine.

"Passed!"

The profound skills he bought at a low price from the Universal Knowledge of All Worlds could no longer be maintained. Zhang Lin jumped up in surprise, broke through the roof in the blink of an eye, and rushed out of the atmosphere.

Su Daji's tone remained the same as before, and continued:
"I have sent the duties and obligations of a full-time manager to your communication token. Please read it carefully before signing the contract, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."

"Okay, from now on please wait for notification, and I will let you know when to sign the contract."

After saying this, Su Daji hung up the call, then separated her mind and contacted another qualified person.

"Congratulations, He Heng..."

······
The top of the Nine Heavens.

The incarnation of the God of Wealth that Shang Yi had separated out at the beginning, after arriving here with difficulty, dissipated in the meaning of the other side, leaving only the authority of the God of Wealth floating in the void.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the void filled with the meanings of "return" and "ruins".

"The time has finally come."

Shang Yi stood on the top floor, looking around at everything in this shortcut.

The mysterious light of the Emperor's Dao shone through everything in the world, making it impossible for the Dao rhyme that permeated the uppermost layer of the Nine Heavens to assimilate his body of a quasi-Immortal Emperor.

The times now are different from those of the past. There are quite a few legendary powerful beings awakening in secret. Even if the real bodies come to this world in person and cause natural disasters in the real world, others will at most think that a legendary powerful being has returned.

With multiple forces involved, no one can figure out which powerful person has returned.

This is also the opportunity for Shang Yi's real body to come to this world.

After countless years in the God's Tomb World, Shang Yi had already crossed the bottleneck of the Immortal King and reached the realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperor, and reached the limit in this realm.

However, even though he had extraordinary combat power at the moment and it was not difficult for him to kill ordinary people with great powers in the realm of creation, he was just a legend in the system of this life. Even if he was promoted to the realm of creation, there was still a long time before he could think about the road to the other side.

"It's hard to reach the other shore, and the same is true for the Immortal Emperor. As expected, no matter what kind of cultivation system, in the later stage, it is very difficult to advance even a little bit."

Thinking of his own efforts in the perfect system when he was growing up as the "Monthly King" in recent years, Shang Yi couldn't help but shook his head.

If it weren't for his extraordinary knowledge, knowing clearly that there are Immortal Emperors who have achieved perfection in the Imperial Way, and even more powerful realms such as the Way of Sacrifice and above, he might have mistakenly believed that he had reached the top of the path of cultivation at this moment, and there was no room for improvement at all.

Like the Old Man of Destruction, and the Three Emperors Yu, Hong and Cang, after reaching this point, Shang Yi tried all the methods he could, but the final result was regrettable.

Immortal Emperor...

It's like a taboo, a level that no living being should step into.

If there had not been an Immortal Emperor born under the Heaven, Shi Hao of the Perfect World and the Three Heavenly Emperors of the Shrouding Sky in the original work would have also become Immortal Emperors before going above the Heaven. Shang Yi might have mistakenly believed that only above the Heaven could an Immortal Emperor with perfect and flawless imperial laws be born.

Of course, Shang Yi had also thought in his heart whether he needed the environment and laws of the world of Shrouding the Sky.

As for the clone in the Devouring Star World, he has now become the Lord of Chaos and condensed his own Chaos Dao Fruit, but he is still half a step away from the realm of God King.

His original body and all his clones seemed to be stuck at this critical step, so the original body came to the world of the One Life Supreme to help the One Life System achieve the other side.

“Perhaps if I am given a long time, I can find the way to become an Immortal Emperor and perfect my own imperial laws. But there is not that much time now. Besides, I am not in the Perfect World. It is extremely difficult to practice the system of the Perfect World. Even if I become an Immortal Emperor in some other world with an exaggerated time difference, this world will miss the most suitable time to reach the other side. By then, all the people on the other side will return…”

The regret in his heart subsided, and Shang Yi turned to examine himself.

The power of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor remained the same, but the system of his lifetime was suppressed to a certain extent because he came to this world.

Originally, with his background, as long as he came to the world of the Supreme One, he would be able to complete the legendary realm in a very short time and reach the point of automatically forming a projection imprint with the birth of a new universe. But now, his special self, the owner of the Shang Building in this world, is also a powerful person in the legendary realm, and he is only a step away from reaching the legendary perfection.

This also resulted in Shang Yi's current state being similar to the relationship between the Demon Buddha and Meng Qi.

Between the two, as long as one of them becomes stronger, the realm of the other will be slightly lowered.

Because although the Demon Buddha and Meng Qi are one his true self and the other his other self, they are the same person in their fundamental nature, and there is an upper limit to the combined power of the two.

This also means that every time Meng Qi becomes stronger, it is equivalent to weakening the Demon Buddha, because compared to Meng Qi who is still growing, the Demon Buddha has almost reached the "peak" and it is difficult for him to move forward even half a step. Naturally, he cannot reversely suppress Meng Qi's realm by "becoming stronger".

Moreover, the consciousness of the Demon Buddha and Meng Qi is different. No one can give up himself and let the other be perfect and become flawless. That's why the Demon Buddha is determined to kill Meng Qi. The Mother of No Birth pretended to have this kind of relationship so that the people on the other side who are hostile to Her can watch Gu Xiaosang grow up, and even secretly help Gu Xiaosang when he encounters difficulties.

The difference between Shang Yi and Mo Buddha and Meng Qi is that he has one consciousness with two legendary bodies, rather than two bodies with two consciousnesses.

But unfortunately, even so, Shang Yi would be influenced by the unique worldview of this world, or because of the particularity of the Dharmakaya cultivation system. The two legendary beings would be unable to control themselves and suppress each other's realm due to "external" influences.

At this time, with Shang Yi's foundation that could have made him a perfect legend, he could only maintain the realm of a normal legendary power. The same was true for the owner of the Shang Building. He was only half a year away from becoming a perfect legend, but now he has regressed to a normal legend. If he wants to become a perfect legend, it will take nearly two years.

Shang Yi was not surprised at all, but rather slightly delighted. He thought to himself:
"As long as I leave this world at the critical moment, all the 'restrictions' will no longer exist, and the state of the business building owner that has been affected by my existence will return to its original state in an instant."

“Even if they have great magical powers, can they predict that I have never set foot in the world and have always been hiding in the uppermost layer of the Ninth Heaven?”

Shang Yi made a plan in an instant, and he would definitely give everyone a surprise when the time comes.

"I hope it won't be used too early, otherwise the realm is too low and the 'surprise' it can bring is limited." (End of this chapter)
