Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 384 The Truth
After his body recovered, there was still some power of the fairy lotus left in Tathagata's body, which began to replenish his body.

After the treatment by the man in black, the meridians have completely recovered.

In addition, he had been struck by lightning in the Feng Shui forbidden area before, and although he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, it also achieved the effect of cleansing the marrow and clearing the meridians.

After combining with the Millennium Immortal Lotus, the reborn meridians were forged to be tougher.

The remaining medicinal power of the fairy lotus enabled Buddha Tathagata to advance his skills to a deeper level.

As the power of the fairy lotus was completely absorbed, Shi Tathagata's power was further improved. He woke up instantly and felt that the energy in his body was like a thousand horses galloping, flowing non-stop.

"Ah~" With a long roar, a huge sound wave swept through the stone cave, like the roar of a mad dragon. The power was so strong that it shattered the entire stone cave, allowing the stronghold buried deep in the mountain to see the light of day again.

The man in black could not hide his excitement when he saw this, "Hahaha, Buddha, the battle in the Feng Shui forbidden land turned out to be a blessing in disguise for you. Your lightning-forged body and absorption power have reached a new level."

Shi Rulai was absorbed in his practice, but he was not excited about his breakthrough. He looked at the man in black calmly and said, "You saved me."

The man in black made a sad gesture, "My son, you don't even call me father anymore?"

"Before that, I want to ask you three questions?"

"what is the problem?"

Shi Rulai asked the question buried in his heart, "Jian Xie is resurrected, but is it you who did it?"

“It was indeed what I did.”

"What's the purpose?"

"It's just fun."

"Is it really that simple?"

"It's that simple. I just didn't want the legend of Renxie and Jianxie to end, so I helped Jianxue Wuming to be resurrected. As for what he will do in the future, it has nothing to do with me. The only connection between him and me is that maybe one day in the future, I will ask him to do something for me out of rebirth."

"Well, it's just as I expected." A huge weight fell off the Buddha's heart, and he asked, "Are you responsible for the strange phenomena in the martial arts world today?"

The man in black laughed when he heard this, "Hahahaha, my son, you really think too highly of me. Such a strange phenomenon is God's will, how can I control it?"

"So you don't deny your role in that."

"If we talk about the Demon Realm's fault line being connected, I did contribute a lot to it."

Buddha asked, "Then do you know that the faults in the other dimension demon world are combined, the demon dragon is resurrected, and the strange phenomena appear, which are harmful to the people of the world?"

"Of course I know. But the resurrection of the demon dragon is God's will, the vision appears, and the appearance of the two cities is also God's will. These are not things that you and I can stop." The man in black explained what he had done. "Even if I am not the one behind the scenes, God will have a way to repair the fault in the other world. This is why Yi Ye Shu and others did not use this as an excuse to blame Zhao Mu Zun. And under the vision, the two cities that appeared in the world will open up a new opportunity to fight against the demon world and completely kill the demon dragon." "What do you know?"

"My son, this is beyond the scope of your three questions. To avoid any complications, I am not in a position to reveal the details. You only need to know that everything I am going to do now has the same purpose as what I did in that world."

Buddha Tathagata suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, you want to unify the suffering."

"Why not? There is the Tiance True Dragon Pearl in front of me, why can't I do it?"

"Then have you ever thought that current events are very different from those in that world and during the Tiance Dynasty?"

"What's the difference? The bitter world is also falling apart. The power of the otherworldly demon world is greater than that of the Demon Sword Dao at that time, and all the sects in the Central Plains live under the so-called self-government. Each sect takes care of its own business and stands by and watches, like a pile of loose sand. They fight each other and waste countless resources. When foreign enemies invade, they can only rely on Su Huanzhen and others to resist, and there are countless ambitious people who secretly hinder them. Once Su Huanzhen and others are defeated, these sects will be destroyed or surrender. No one has ever considered that the real victims are not those high-ranking knights, but the thousands of people living on this land. Although under the planning of Su Huanzhen and others, they finally won the victory, who cares about the people who died at the hands of foreign enemies and ambitious people? Their life and death are never considered by these so-called righteous people, because they are just necessary sacrifices to forge victory and have never appeared in Su Huanzhen's consideration."

"You've said so much. If you want to build a great cause, it must be built on the sacrifices of the people you mentioned."

"Wrong. It's not me who creates great deeds, it's them."

"This is just an excuse for your own glory."

"Wrong again. The glory does not belong to me alone, but to those who sacrificed their lives to build a peaceful and prosperous world. Their names will be known to the world and passed down from generation to generation. And I will fulfill my responsibility and not let their sacrifice go in vain. I will protect all the people in the world and keep the enemy out of the country. What I will establish is an order, a world where all races live in peace and there is no more conflict. And such a world, you have seen it in that world before, right?"

"I have indeed seen the country you are talking about, and I also hope to see it in this life." Buddha asked, "But until now, why don't you dare to show me your true face? How can I believe that you really are like this?"

"Why not." With a chuckle, the man in black lifted his veil, revealing his true face, which was none other than the deceased Zhaomu Zun.

Shi Rulai looked at the face of the person in front of him and said in shock: "It's you. I should have thought it was you a long time ago. With your personality, how could you let the plan go wrong. Only the identity of Zhaomu Zun can allow you to complete your plan."

"My doubts have been resolved. You can leave now. Before I brought you here, I already informed Yibu Lianhua and the others that you were saved."

"Is there really such a person as Zhaomu Zun in the world?"

"Zhaomu Zun exists naturally. He was originally Jin Liuying, one of the Four Wonders of Xuanzong. In the past, during the great war between Dao and Demon in the Dao Realm, he was jealous of Cang, the leader of the Six Strings. He first joined forces with the Demon Realm to plot against the leader of the Four Wonders, the 'Zheshan Army', causing him to be cursed and entangled with demonic energy, becoming a half-human, half-demon body. Later, he joined forces with his best friend Zijingyi, another of the Four Wonders, to betray Xuanzong in a crucial battle at Fengyun Mountain. As a result, the formation was broken, and Xuanzong had to use the method of burning everything together to pull the Otherworld Demon Realm into the alien space and seal it. Afterwards, Jin Liuying entered the Bitter Realm, founded the Six Extremes Skybridge, and changed his appearance, using the name 'Zhaomu Zun' to show himself to others."

Buddha asked: "When was Zhaomu Zun replaced by you?"

"Before the chaos of the demons, I had already replaced him. It was me who helped Xuanzong break the seal and aid Cuishanxing and the others. And it was also me who set up the formation in Fengyun Mountain in advance to transfer most of the power of the explosion to the demon world."

Thanks to Wu Mengsheng for the reward.
