Meng Qi is the strongest pseudo-other shore in the Nine Netherworlds besides the incarnation of Moro. This is because Meng Qi possesses the Overlord's Blade and the Human Emperor's Sword. He has also created a unique and unparalleled divine skill, which is the strongest combination of sword and blade attack, and can maximize the power of the Overlord's Blade and the Human Emperor's Sword.

Besides Meng Qi, Yang Jian, who possesses the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner of the Central Heaven and Earth, can be considered the third pseudo-other shore of the Nine Netherworlds.

They are completely equivalent in terms of the pseudo-Other Shore realm; the only difference lies in the peerless status of the Other Shore level.

Seeing that the Black Emperor had a firm advantage, Meng Qi turned his head and looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox incarnation.

He asked in bewilderment, "Brother Shang, is the Demon Emperor's Claw really that difficult to subdue...?"

Meng Qi thought that Shang Yi had entered the Nine Netherworld in his incarnation because he had subdued the Demon Emperor's Claw. However, he did not expect that he had not seen this supreme treasure of the Other Shore, which was the most filthy, in the previous battle.

Based on his understanding of Shang Yi, it was impossible for him to hold back at such a crucial moment, which meant one thing: the other party had not yet subdued the Demon Emperor's Claw.

"Although my Moro incarnation cultivates the Demon Emperor's Scripture, it has also absorbed the legacy of my previous life, the supreme true Buddha of Buddhism, and many other Buddhas. It can be considered a combination of demon and Buddha, which is incompatible with the filthy nature of the Demon Emperor's Claw. The Demon Emperor's Claw is extremely repulsive to me. Time is of the essence, so I did not waste my time on the Demon Emperor's Claw."

The Nine-Tailed Fox incarnate remained unfazed.

However, just seconds before he answered, Moro's avatar had already refined the Demon Emperor's Claw into the God-Slaying Spear, turning it into a brand-new demonic treasure, and was able to use it to glimpse the secrets that might exist within the Demon Emperor's Claw.

"Yes, I'm not lying to you, it's just that there are too many people around here..."

The Nine-Tailed Fox silently thought to itself.

……

Vacuum Hometown.

As the Nine Netherworld War came to an end, the unpredictable will that had sealed off all time, space, dimensions, and dimensions of the Vacuum Homeland finally departed.

The acting divine messenger asked in a deep voice, "Mother, why is the Lord of the Merchant Pavilion acting like this..."

He is the head of the twelve divine messengers, possessing perfect creation, and is also Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals, whose ability to control the universe within his sleeve is divine.

Zhen Yuanzi said this because at the beginning of the Nine Netherworld War, Shang Yi's will descended outside the Vacuum Homeland, blocking the gate and showing no respect for the Eternal Mother. Zhen Yuanzi, who originally wanted to provide support, was naturally unable to do so.

Although Shang Yi was playing with dungeon cards in the past, it didn't prevent him from blocking the gates of Vacuum Homeland at the current juncture.

"It doesn't matter."

"When the era ends, it will be the time of His fall. Let Him have a glorious final moment in His life. Why get involved in unnecessary disputes?"

Amidst the radiant light of the full moon, a sacred female voice rang out, devoid of joy or sorrow, showing no emotional change despite Shang Yi's ruthless blocking of the door.

······
In the shop, Shang Yi looked at the dozens of dungeon cards floating in front of him, and with a thought, threw them into the myriad heavens within his body.

Besides the battles of the gods at the beginning of the era, the Investiture of the Gods, and Journey to the West, he also copied some other historical events that he considered valuable.

For example, the chaos caused by the Demon Buddha, or the rise and glory of the Human Emperor.

The former had a far-reaching impact, causing some fortunate individuals who should have lived to this point to perish at that time; otherwise, Zhenwu might not have been the only one attempting to reach the other shore.

The latter is of great significance, marking a groundbreaking beginning that deserves to be remembered forever.

At least that's how he sees it.

After putting away the dungeon card, Shang Yi's two strands of will returned to himself.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable opened the source of time and extracted the history of the Investiture of the Gods War, which evolved into another world. This made it impossible for powerful beings to see the beginning and end of the Investiture of the Gods War by going back in time. Even though the Nine Heavens cover all realms and are omnipresent, Shang Yi still had to send a wisp of his will to the Investiture of the Gods World when he was recording the history of the Investiture of the Gods War.

The same applies to the world of Journey to the West; it was created by the Celestial Venerable of Morality opening the source of time.

The two oldest beings caused these two periods of history to disappear directly from the river of time and destiny, leaving the relevant history of the real world completely blank. Only legends can reveal the differences between the world of Investiture of the Gods and the world of Journey to the West.

Then, Shang Yi's attention shifted from the current situation to the ancient Heavenly Court war.

……

Boom!

The entire immortal realm trembled as boundless demonic energy raged, encroaching upon the immortal realm and threatening to turn the Nine Heavens into the Nine Netherworlds.

The demons and the gods were locked in a fierce battle, and for a time they were deadlocked.

At this moment, the Demon Lord led his band of evil gods and demons to storm the Ninth Heaven, aiming to seize the throne of the Heavenly Emperor and become the rightful ruler of all the heavens and myriad realms.

In the eyes of the world, the reason why the Demon Lord rebelled against the Heavenly Court was because of this.

"They dare to attack as soon as they reach the other side..."

"Seek death."

A slightly indifferent, distant voice echoed from afar.

The emperor inside the Lingxiao Palace stood up, an ancient seal floating beside him, seemingly the nexus of the immortal realm.

Then the two beings from the other side engaged in a great battle.

This was the first battle of the Other Shore in all the heavens and myriad realms after the end of the Investiture of the Gods, which directly changed the history of all the heavens and myriad realms.

Shang Yi did not alter this part of history, observing the battle from the perspective of the God of Wealth and the Buddha of Worldly Freedom.

At this moment, his attention shifted to this point in time, and he noticed some things he hadn't noticed before.

Although the army of the Void Demon Realm appeared to be coming on strong, the gods of the Nine Heavens did not fall into a disadvantageous position. In fact, they began to launch a counterattack little by little, killing a large number of the demons under the Demon Lord's command.

"It seems that the Heavenly Emperor was also on guard. Perhaps he was not guarding against the Demon Lord, but against the Three Pure Ones."

Shang Yi thought to himself.

Watching the 'Heavenly Emperor' wield the Heavenly Dao Seal, slay the Demon Lord, and shatter His Other Shore Body into countless pieces, and in the 'Other Shore,' a supreme realm inaccessible to the beings of the Bitter Sea, the Heavenly Emperor also completely erased the Demon Lord's true nature and spiritual light, accomplishing a feat rarely seen throughout all the ages.

Slay the Other Shore!
Boom!

The dazzling divine light illuminated the nine heavens, where shouts of battle shook the heavens, causing some demons who had gone mad to instinctively tremble and feel boundless fear welling up in their hearts.

Purple, blue, red, and white divine lightning converged, transforming into spears that split into billions of pieces, tearing through space and time, each piercing a piece of the Demon Lord's remaining body to prevent the Demon Lord's lingering obsessions from causing trouble.

The 'loyal and devoted' Thunder God of the Nine Heavens has made his move!
Although He believed that the Heavenly Emperor would not have been negligent enough to allow the Demon Lord to survive, in order to prevent countless universes from being corrupted by the overwhelming demonic energy contained in the Demon Lord's remaining body, He could only suppress the calamity with the essence and divine thunder of the Nine Heavens.

"When He killed the Demon Lord, He wasn't completely unharmed either."

Shang Yi murmured.

After the Heavenly Emperor killed the Demon Lord, he went to the Lingxiao Palace, ignoring the conflicts in the Nine Heavens and letting the evil demons and gods continue to fight.

"I thought He disdained the suffering beings and was too lazy to help, but it turns out that the problem lies with Himself."

Sensing the 'Heavenly Emperor's' terrible condition, Shang Yi couldn't help but sigh.

After this battle, even suppressing a peerless being of the Other Shore level would be difficult for the Heavenly Emperor, who was far weaker than in his prime. Yet, even at this point, he showed no sign of distress, as if he had killed the Demon Lord without taking any damage.

If the Demon Emperor's Claw had been more ruthless and hadn't fled when the Demon Lord fell, but instead attacked the Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor's disguise would have been exposed, giving the lurking Other Shore an opportunity to strike.

Shang Yi wasn't sure about others, but if Amitabha Buddha knew the true state of the Heavenly Emperor at this moment, he would definitely try to control him, just like Emperor Fu, making him his puppet.
Nine Netherworlds.

"Ow!"

Deep within the endless spacetime demon realm, the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable roared to the sky and fought desperately, but he could not break free from the shackles of endless spacetime. It was as if he was stuck in a quagmire, getting closer and closer to the will of the Black Heavenly Emperor.

Having been severely injured by the self-destruction of the Xuanming Ghost Emperor, He could no longer escape this calamity.

The Nine-Tailed Fox and Meng Qi stood on the horizon, watching this scene.

A few breaths later, Meng Qi suddenly transmitted his voice:
"He intends to use the Nine Chaos Heavenly Venerable to replace the Emperor of Fengdu?"

Without a doubt, he knew the true identity of the Black Heaven Emperor, and that this pseudo-other shore, like the Daoist Zhunti and the Great Emperor of Fengdu, was one of the three corpses of the Ancient Buddha Bodhi.

The Nine-Tailed Fox paused slightly, seemingly not expecting Meng Qi to ask such a question. After a moment, he replied, "That's right. Bodhi Ancient Buddha's three corpses are incomplete and cannot be perfected. Therefore, before I broke free from the sea of ​​suffering, in order to clarify His attitude, I discussed with Him the need to help Him perfect His three corpses. In return, He did not interfere when I broke free from the sea of ​​suffering."

There's no point in hiding this; even if he doesn't say it now, Meng Qi will find out sooner or later.

Although he sometimes uses speaking techniques (to deceive), he won't make things worse when he can't use them.

Even if he concealed this matter, he would only become a bargaining chip in the hands of Bodhi Buddha, damaging the image he had built in Meng Qi's mind, and would not benefit Shang Yi at all.

"really."

Meng Qi nodded knowingly, as if he had already guessed it.

Based on his understanding of Shang Yi, he always planned carefully before acting. It was impossible for Shang Yi not to have considered the attitudes of the other shore beings before they were unable to extricate themselves, unless he did not want to reach the other shore or knew that such an opportunity would inevitably arise at some point.

Neither the former nor the latter is possible.

The former goes without saying, the latter...

Who can seize all of the future and thus control the actions of all those on the other side?

The Dao Fruit is possible, but even those who have reached the other shore no longer care about the sea of ​​suffering. So how could those who have attained the Dao Fruit, who are even higher and beyond the other shore and whose existence is beyond words, possibly still care about things below the Dao Fruit?

Following this line of reasoning, only one truth remains.

Before seizing that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Shang Yi must have reached a certain agreement with some of the beings on the other side, in exchange for their non-interference.

This is also something Meng Qi needs to consider now. It is by putting himself in Shang Yi's shoes that he was able to guess Shang Yi's possible actions back then.

Seeing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox avatar calmly said, "Time flies, there are no eternal enemies. When the Azure Emperor broke free from the Sea of ​​Bitterness, the Bodhi Ancient Buddha, who had not fully returned, also made a move, but was stopped by my true Buddha avatar."

The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unhappy.

Perhaps it was precisely because of those actions that Bodhi Buddha appeared to stop the true Buddha from reaching the other shore.

Although the Nine-Tailed Fox didn't say it explicitly, Meng Qi understood its implied meaning.

Brother Shang was telling him that as long as he offered enough benefits, even though he had caused the fall of the Fengdu Emperor, the Bodhi Buddha would not intervene when he broke free from the sea of ​​suffering.

Choosing not to intervene when one has the opportunity is already an immense act of kindness.

"There are no eternal enemies..."

Meng Qi murmured to himself.

Thinking of the other shore, Meng Qi wondered what conditions he could offer to move them.

There's no need to worry about Brother Shang, and the grudge between him and the Eternal Mother is irreconcilable, so it can be ignored for now. There aren't many left on the other shore anyway.

"Master Dao is currently discussing the Dao with Amitabha Buddha, and the Azure Emperor and I also have good karma. In that case, only the Demon Emperor and Bodhi Ancient Buddha remain..."

"Once we understand their attitude, we will know the external tribulations we will face on the other side."

As Meng Qi pondered, the Endless Spacetime Demon Realm instantly shrank, transforming into a hazy, shimmering sphere with black energy occasionally emanating from its core.

This is the illusory path of the Black Emperor. If He were to ascend to the other shore, this round bead would be the prototype of His illusory Dao fruit.

The hazy, round bead appeared only briefly before it expanded back into endless space and time, from which the Black Emperor's will emanated.

"The cause and effect have been cleared."

After He finished speaking, He broke through space and time and returned to His own dojo.

The Nine-Tailed Fox, looking at the completely collapsed and destroyed layer of demonic land, stretched out a hand and rewrote the history of the past.

Decades ago, when the Nine-Headed Lion Saint first entered the Nine Netherworlds, he not only occupied the Demon Prison, but also came to this level and established a branch of the Underworld. At that time, the Xuanming Ghost Emperor, who should have stopped all of this, had already perished at the current point in time, leaving only a historical imprint. He was silently suppressed by the Nine-Tailed Fox incarnation, allowing the Underworld to develop smoothly and occupy vast lands in both levels of the Nine Netherworlds.

After history was corrected, everything started anew. The original collapsed scene transformed into a cold and gloomy underworld, where countless ghost messengers were busy, each performing their duties.

Meanwhile, Ruan Yushu's avatar descended into the underworld, transforming into Meng Po. She used the Azure Jade Stream to condense the waters of the River of Eternal Darkness and merge them with the Yellow Springs to create a unique Meng Po Soup, thus beginning to gradually seize power in the underworld.

To others, this was Shang Yi's way of helping Ruan Yushu, making it easier for her to break through to the Creation Realm. However, they did not know that Shang Yi's ultimate goal was to enable Ruan Yushu to truly take control of the afterlife with the Reincarnation Seal, and to reach the other shore when the opportunity arose.

It is explained that Ruan Yushu could take advantage of the final tribulation to become an ancient being or even the oldest being in one fell swoop. Although he would not be competing for the Dao Fruit in this era, he would not be far from achieving it.

Seeing this, Meng Qi knew that it was no longer his business, so he left.

The Nine-Tailed Fox then took out the core ancient seal of the Underworld and hurriedly collected the scattered authority of the Xuanming Ghost Emperor to improve the Underworld.

Although the Xuanming Ghost Emperor died in the Nine Netherworlds, the authority he possessed was the authority related to all the heavens and myriad realms. Once he fell, all living beings in the heavens and myriad realms, no matter where they were, could use this authority to condense the corresponding authority. However, compared to other places, the place where the Xuanming Ghost Emperor fell was the easiest place to condense the corresponding authority.

"I'll just act out the show right under your noses. The Nine-Tailed Fox has already digested the remnants of the Eastern Emperor and is not far from the other shore. After the Moro Fox merges with the Supreme True Buddha, it will also be able to reach the other shore."

With the help of the Human Emperor, the incarnation of the Human Emperor also surpassed the perfection of the Creation Realm, and was even able to replace the Heavenly Dao with the Human Dao, becoming the Heavenly Emperor in the Nine Heavens, at which time he was also able to ascend to the other shore.

"Once all three avatars have ascended to the other shore, even without the support of countless worlds, their combat power will be no weaker than it is now, and becoming an ancient being would be entirely expected."

The Nine-Tailed Fox transformed into a secret passage.

While the Ancient Ones possess all the mysteries of the myriad realms and comprehend the profound mysteries of the Dao, which can be helpful for advancing to the Ancient Ones on the other side, it does not mean that mastering all the mysteries of the myriad realms is the only path to becoming an Ancient One.

This is the outward manifestation of the ancients, not their essence.

Blindly pursuing outward appearances while ignoring the core essence of one's realm can be considered a misguided path.

It's like a celestial being not thinking about the meaning of 'I am who I am,' but instead frantically absorbing energy and matter, making its size exceed that of a celestial being by billions of times, or even several times that of the sands of the Ganges, ultimately becoming equal to the boundless universe.

Although it may seem that it is at the same level as the legendary great beings, the essence of the legendary realm is that the true spirit resides at an infinite height, rather than being equal to the boundless universe. This is only one of the external manifestations of the legendary great beings, not the whole story.

Although going astray is not necessarily a dead end, it takes a thousand times longer than going down the right path.

Among the many divine skills that Shang Yi has mastered, both "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" and "Slaying the Three Corpses" can be considered as the correct path to the ancients.

For Shang Yi, comprehending all the mysteries of the myriad realms and transforming the illusory Dao Fruit into a rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit was merely the least cost-effective and inferior method.

Of course, nothing is absolute; advantages and disadvantages coexist.

Although becoming an ancient being through the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" or the "Severing Three Corpses Method" is thousands of times faster than becoming an ancient being through "inferior methods," it also has drawbacks. That is, if the Three Pure Ones incarnations or the Three Corpses bodies completely perish, then the realm that Shang Yi cultivated through this method will also be affected. (End of this chapter)
