The Buddha's skin was removed, and a true Buddha incarnation, standing sixteen feet tall, emerged from the original body.

The marks belonging to the true Buddha's incarnation were connected at this moment, running through every node in the long river of time.

All records of the Buddha in this era have changed at this time; both language and pictures have changed from depicting the Buddha's appearance to depicting the true incarnation of the Buddha.

In the eyes of the beings in the sea of ​​suffering, he is the Buddha, the Buddha without any prefix.

Because he is the Buddha, when the true Buddha incarnate ascends to the other shore, there are no corresponding phenomena on the other shore. It can also be said that the phenomena formed when the Buddha ascended to the other shore were the phenomena on the other shore of the true Buddha incarnate.

At the same time, the Nine Netherworld also trembled, and the aura of the Abyss of Destruction suddenly expanded for a moment before disappearing again.

In the timeline, one day when Buddha was meditating and attaining enlightenment by the river, a black-robed monk emerged from his body. After fighting with Buddha, the monk was defeated and fell into the Netherworld.

From then on, the Buddha's aura declined, just as the demon Buddha Ananda became imperfect due to Meng Qi's growth.

Not only did the Buddha split in two, but even the golden lotus from which the Buddha sat also split off into a black lotus that fell into the depths of the Nine Netherworlds, entering the abyss of destruction along with the black-robed monk. It was named Mara and was known as "Buddha of No Heaven".

Thus, one of the three incarnations finally reached the other shore. Although after Mara incarnated as Buddha, he split into two, becoming the Buddha body and the Mara body, this was also Shang Yi's performance for the many beings on the other shore and the ancient ones.

They believed that although Shang Yi used the "Method of Severing the Three Corpses" of Bodhi Ancient Buddha and the "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" of the Moral Celestial Venerable to quickly allow his avatar to reach the other shore after merging, his avatar was split due to the imperfection of the method and the influence of the Great Dao of Bodhi Ancient Buddha and the Moral Celestial Venerable.

However, Shang Yi was able to transform from Buddha to demon at any time and merge his true Buddha body with his Mara body. After all, Shang Yi had done this before this incarnation became the other shore. As the other ancient beings relaxed their vigilance and no longer regarded Shang Yi as a threat, there were no more obstacles for Shang Yi to achieve the prototype of the Dao fruit.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred years have passed since Moro incarnated and ascended to the other shore.

Over the years, the aura of destruction in all the heavens and myriad worlds has become increasingly profound. Some newly formed universes have gradually been destroyed due to various coincidences. Even parallel universes formed by the split of time have been the same, gradually collapsing after a period of time following the split.

Two hundred years in the real world may be millions or tens of millions of years in those collapsing universes. It seems very long, a time scale that living beings can only imagine, but it is too short for a planet, let alone for a boundless universe.

"Is final destruction coming? Is everyone going to die?"

Some people on the Wanjie Forum are feeling uneasy.

I never imagined that I would be born in such a wonderful era, able to easily obtain unparalleled martial arts skills for free and purchase many strange universes, planes, and dimensions of treasures and rare items. But today, I have heard such a bolt from the blue.

The era has ended!

All the heavens and myriad worlds will be destroyed in an instant, and countless beings, far exceeding the number of grains of sand in the Ganges, will perish.

Desperate!

"Fate is what it is, and since we cannot change it, we can only live our last days to the fullest."

One person replied on the World Forum: "I've made up my mind. I'm going to move to a certain universe. Judging from the time flow in that universe, my ashes will probably have disappeared by then. It's still not over."

"I am just an exterior viewer, and I can be seen everywhere in today's real world. But in that universe, I can still find an ordinary planet to live a comfortable life."

Then, looking at the anxious person's forum nickname, the person asked curiously, "Judging from your name, you don't seem like the kind of person who would ask such a question."

"Emperor Blood Madman"... that's that person's forum name.

"Sigh, don't even mention it. Back then, I was young and arrogant, thinking I could become a big shot like the Lord of the Merchant Pavilion in a short time by embarking on the path of cultivation. As a result, I was bewitched and came up with this forum name. However, the conditions set by the Heavenly Venerable Yuanhuang for changing my nickname were too harsh for me, so it has remained like this ever since."

"I didn't expect that no one had registered this nickname for so long."

A sense of helplessness permeated the words of Emperor Blood Madman.

"With such ambition, aiming to become the Lord of the Merchant Pavilion, your cultivation aptitude must be quite good..."

Riding the nine heavens and roaming the azure sky, I inquired about the Dao:
"May I ask, how many years have you been cultivating, and what is your level of cultivation?"

Seeing his question, Emperor Blood Madman did not hold back and casually replied:

"Born to read, able to fight at one month old, I have been cultivating the Demon Emperor's Starfire Divine Art since then. There were no bottlenecks along the way, and even though I deliberately slowed down my cultivation speed because of my young age, I reached the half-step Dharma Body realm by the time I turned ten..."

After sending this message, Emperor Blood Madman seemed to be lost in memories. After a long while, he continued:

"As a result, he was too proud and arrogant, and got stuck between the mortal and immortal realms for a full twelve years."

"Now he is twenty-seven years old, but he is just a mere Earth Immortal."

If this were hundreds of years ago, a twenty-seven-year-old Earth Immortal would have been astonishing. However, after the Universal Knowledge Talisman became popular, everyone in the real world had a copy. The divine skill manuals that were once strictly guarded by aristocratic families and sects were released to the public for free without asking for anything in return. Among them, the most impressive person was the peerless powerhouse, 'Demon Emperor' Qi Zhengyan.

Through the "Demon Prison Mystic Embryo Scripture" and in accordance with the "Demon Emperor's Canon", he deduced the peerless divine skill "Starfire Great Art" that everyone can cultivate. The basic version is visible to everyone, while the advanced part of the divine skill can be obtained as long as one passes the test of one's character and morality.

Such a good deed is called the 'Demon Emperor' because he once shook the foundations of aristocratic families and sects, and was thus condemned to the ranks of evil and heretical sects.

In addition, many powerful individuals have uploaded annotations and explanations of the "Spark Technique" or other cultivation methods, either for free or for a fee. This has brought the cultivation environment in the real world to its peak, far surpassing the era of the ancient saints.

The same applies to resources. Over the centuries since the Universal Knowledge Talisman was popular, various forces in the Real World have established deep-rooted relationships of interest with countless universes. Both sides have their own needs and exchange all kinds of resources.

The status of the Earth Immortals today is not even as high as that of the Outer Realm Immortals from the generation of brilliant stars hundreds of years ago.

Upon reading Emperor Blood Madman's self-narration, Qi Yu Jiu Xiao You Qing Ming's words revealed astonishment, and he asked with doubt:
"You are... Dao Guizhen?"

Clearly, he had heard about the deeds of Emperor Blood Madman.

In this age of information flow, how could a mere twenty-seven-year-old earth immortal truly remain unknown?

Seeing that Emperor Blood Madman had agreed, Qi Yu Jiu Xiao You Qing Ming became curious and immediately asked, "What are your plans?"

The controller of the Universal Knowledge Talisman is the Primordial Heavenly Venerable of the Jade Void Palace. Even though he is currently in a certain layer of the Nine Netherworld, he has not reduced his control over the Universal Knowledge Talisman. It is impossible for him to impersonate someone else.

Legend has it that in a universe called the Old Days, there was an evil god who was often struck down by divine lightning as punishment because he frequently deceived others.

"The Heavenly Court's once-in-a-century recruitment of talents is approaching. I'll see if I can pass the Heavenly Court's test and become a serving immortal."

"If I fail, I'm prepared to leave the real world, find a normal universe, and spend my life as a native god on a remote planet."

Emperor Blood Mad Heaven revealed his plans.

Hearing the news of the impending doom caught him off guard and initially caused him to lose his composure, but he has since regained his composure and begun to contemplate the future.

As for the Heavenly Court's recruitment of talents, it only appeared some years after the True Buddha's incarnation ascended to the other shore, and from the day it appeared, it has been the aspiration of countless cultivators.

No one expected that Shang Yi, the owner of the Shanglou Pavilion, had silently merged with the Heavenly Emperor's mark and gained control of the Nine Heavens.

Although in the eyes of the masses, He was a pseudo-Other Shore achieved by using the power of the Nine Heavens, He still possessed the power of the Other Shore.

Therefore, the Heavenly Court returned to the mortal world, and Shang Yi even reassigned many of the Heavenly Court immortals and gods he had previously rescued as the God of Wealth to the Heavenly Court, and also rescued the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden who was sleeping in the Pure Maiden Path.

As for Pigsy who died in the Milky Way, although Shang Yi wanted to rescue this lovable "Second Brother," he ultimately died due to the Demon Buddha's scheme. It is currently impossible to erase the Demon Buddha's influence from the other side. He can only wait until Meng Qi kills and devours the Demon Buddha in the future to revive "Second Brother."

Don't be fooled by how weak "Second Brother" may seem during Journey to the West. He is actually the Marshal of the Heavenly River Navy, someone who can be on friendly terms with the Thunder God, the second-in-command of the Heavenly Court, and also has a position in the Human Sect. How could his strength be low?

Moreover, putting everything else aside, among all the powerful figures on the other shore, the Lord of the Merchant Pavilion is the most powerful. Although some ancient celestial beings and Buddhas have been keeping a low profile, the two failures of the Eternal Mother and the slaying of Emperor Fu demonstrate the Lord of the Merchant Pavilion's strength. Furthermore, now that the Lord of the Merchant Pavilion's incarnation as the Human Emperor, Lin Xiao, has ascended to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor and absorbed the former Heavenly Emperor's imprint, this incarnation also has the potential to become a figure on the other shore.

In other words, the owner of the commercial building will have at least two incarnations on the other side in the future.

Of course, because the Human Emperor's incarnation became the Heavenly Emperor, Shang Yi's nine-tailed incarnation was also targeted by many people on the other shore, who were watching him closely to prevent Shang Yi's three incarnations from becoming ancient beings after they ascended to the other shore, thus becoming competitors for the opportunity to obtain the Dao Fruit.

"The Investiture of the Gods ceremony..."

I yearn to ride the nine heavens and roam the azure sky.

Even mortals can become immortals or gods as long as they pass the test. Even if the war on the other side breaks out, the Heavenly Court will rarely be affected. Unlike the myriad worlds, where a battle on the other side level can destroy the multiverse in an instant. Even if history is later rewritten, it still makes those in the know uneasy.

If any of the beings on the other side forget about this, then they will have no chance of being resurrected.

To date, every restoration of the myriad realms has been due to the benevolence of the Lord of the Merchant Pavilion. No other important figures have shown any interest whatsoever, leading one to suspect that if the Lord of the Merchant Pavilion were to one day become too lazy to casually block the aftershocks of the Other Shore and change history, no other Other Shore being would do such a thing.

Therefore, only joining a faction with a powerful figure from the other side can guarantee safety.

This has been the common understanding of the masses for hundreds of years.

To escape this terror, one must either reach the other shore oneself or be protected by it.

"Having failed the Heavenly Court's selection, are you not prepared to join the Vacuum Homeland or the Earthly Buddha Kingdom?"

"Should we just find a remote planet and make them our native gods?"

Qi Yu Jiu Xiao You Qing Ming asked in confusion.

Among the forces in this world with powerful figures from the other shore in charge, not only does the Heavenly Court recruit people only once every hundred years, but the Vacuum Homeland and the Buddhist Kingdom on Earth also welcome all living beings at all times.

Although the Buddha on Earth worships Maitreya, the future Buddha, who is a great supernatural being, rather than the other shore, it is said that Maitreya is related to Amitabha Buddha. Therefore, the Buddha on Earth can be considered a force with someone from the other shore presiding over it.

"You'll understand once you've condensed your Dharma Body and Immortal Body."

"It's better to remain a wandering soul than to join the Vacuum Homeland or the Earthly Buddha Kingdom."

After Emperor Blood Madman posted these two lines, he continued:
"The Lord of the Merchant Tower is not only the Lord of the Merchant Tower and the Lord of the Heavenly Court, but also the Emperor of the Afterlife and the Supreme Being of all the Heavens and myriad realms."

His Daoist companion holds the reincarnation seal transformed from the Great Virtue Houtu, and governs the afterlife, and also has a great chance of ascending to the other shore.

and······"

His writing stopped there, but Qi Yu Jiu Xiao You Qing Ming could guess what he wanted to express after the word "而".

The Eternal Mother attained enlightenment in this era. Her two conflicts with the Lord of the Merchant Pavilion both ended in heavy losses. Perhaps one day, she will be killed on the spot by the Lord of the Merchant Pavilion in another conflict.

As for Amitabha Buddha behind Maitreya Buddha, he may not necessarily become an enemy of the Lord of the Merchant Tower for the sake of the Buddhist Kingdom on Earth.

Throughout history, how many people have actually slain the other shore?

Not even a handful.

Dao Zun, Haotian Shangdi, Tian Di.

The avatar of the Lord of the Merchant Pavilion has become the Heavenly Emperor, which means that if He so desires, He could also possess the power of the Heavenly Emperor of yesteryear and have the potential to slay the Other Shore.

Although Amitabha Buddha has existed for an unknown amount of time, he may not necessarily be a match for the Lord of the Merchant's Pavilion, since he has never killed any great figures who have transcended the sea of ​​suffering.

This is how the general public sees Shang Yi.

Among those on the other side, it is difficult to find a worthy opponent.

As for the Demon Emperor, the Azure Emperor, the Ancient Buddha Bodhi, the Moral Celestial Venerable, and other beings on the other shore, they are similar.

Are they necessarily powerful just because they are ancient?
On the path of spiritual cultivation, how many old-timers have been surpassed?

……

While countless cultivators eagerly awaited the upcoming Heavenly Court's Conferment of Gods ceremony, the Nine Netherworld Abyss was destroyed.

"are you ready?"

Moro, in his avatar, looked at Meng Qi in front of him and asked.

On the day he was contemplating the mysteries of the afterlife, Meng Qi suddenly arrived. Although he hadn't spoken yet, Shang Yi could roughly guess why Meng Qi had come.

"We've accumulated enough; now we're just waiting for Xiao Sang."

Meng Qi nodded.

He couldn't leave the Nine Netherworlds because his past and future were being watched by the Eternal Mother. On the contrary, Gu Xiaosang was able to investigate the attitudes of certain important figures on the other side for him.

He was a pseudo-other shore in the Nine Netherworld, able to conceal part of Gu Xiaosang's whereabouts, but not his own. Otherwise, once he left the Nine Netherworld, it would reveal that the Nine Netherworld was missing a pseudo-other shore.

Shang Yi helped cover up Gu Xiaosang's whereabouts after she left Jiuyou.

Then, Meng Qi asked:

"Brother Shang, how exactly is strength and weakness determined on the other side?"

He had asked Gu Xiaosang about this matter, and he had also heard about related rumors from other channels, but none of these could compare to personally asking a contemporary being from the other side.
Only by understanding the hidden secrets can he feel at ease to break free from his suffering.

Otherwise, if the other shore who promised to help him is not an enemy of him, or rather, an enemy of the other shore who is hostile to the Primordial Celestial Venerable, wouldn't he be doomed?
Upon hearing Meng Qi's question, Moro, in his avatar, replied:
“There is a fundamental difference between the creatures on the other shore and those in the sea of ​​suffering. The creatures in the sea of ​​suffering are ancient, but not necessarily powerful. They may be surpassed by the strong in later generations. On the other shore, the stronger a creature is, the more ancient it must be.”

"Even if one attains enlightenment within this era, as long as one is strong enough, the era one can trace back to will be much longer, all the way back to the origin of time. That is the upper limit of the performance of those who have reached the other shore."

"The oldest."

After a brief pause, the incarnation of Moro continued:

"And only one step away from going back to the origin of time, being able to go back to the birth of the first era, is the Ancient One."

Upon hearing this, Meng Qi nodded in understanding; it wasn't much different from what he already knew.

After a moment's thought, Meng Qi asked, "Below the Ancient Ones..."

"Does the time we've traveled back to transcend the present era?"

Moro, incarnation, said:
“Those who are from the recent past.”

"As long as the time traveled exceeds the era in which it was born and enters the previous era, it belongs to the near-ancient ones. Whether it is traveling back to an era before this era, or ten eras or a hundred eras, as long as it does not travel back to the time when the first era was born, it belongs to the near-ancient ones."

Upon hearing this, Meng Qi couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Hearing these words, it seems the difference between those from the near-Ancient period is vast. (End of Chapter)
