The Infinite Uchiha.

Chapter 182 Entering Lingshan

“Tsk tsk tsk, this old rooster was once known as the Mountain Phoenix. His bloodline has returned to his ancestors. Looking at the entire universe, he is hard to beat.”

“Thus, he remained undefeated throughout his life until he met the bald-headed Sakyamuni.”

"Alas, no matter how glorious the past is, what's the point? We are all prisoners... We have no control over our life and death."

The demons communicated with each other through their divine thoughts. There was nothing to gloat over, but rather they felt sympathy for each other.

Tiandao Fangxiu actually knew a lot about this guy's background - his true form was a rooster of a different species, which attained enlightenment in an immortal cave and developed supreme magical powers. He hated being called a pheasant or a rooster spirit, so he simply called himself a Mountain Phoenix.

"Behave well and you may have a chance to regain your freedom."

He casually drew a pie in the sky, and these old monsters, whose combined age was nearly 100,000 years old, immediately regained hope.

At least... I have some direction for the rest of my life!

"Let's go, let's go to Earth."

After finishing all this, Fang Xiu, who temporarily lacked the ability to deeply explore the secrets of the path to immortality on the ancient star Mars, led a group of peerless monsters and flew straight towards the blue planet.

No need for any Xuanyu platform!

"In astronomy, there is a phenomenon called the Great Opposition, during which Mars is closest to the Earth, with the distance between the two being about 55 million kilometers."

"Right now, Mars is at its farthest from the Earth, about 400 million kilometers away..."

Shukaku, who had learned all kinds of knowledge, easily calculated the approximate journey, and for everyone present, this distance was essentially just a 100-meter sprint.

Almost in an instant, many figures broke free from the constraints of gravity and entered the space environment. The water-blue star in the distance began to grow rapidly.

It is true that in terms of volume alone, the Earth is not very big and is far from being comparable to the Big Dipper star region, but there is an inexplicable vast aura emanating from it.

——The sound of wind whistling in the ears broke through the atmosphere, and the figures led by Tiandao Fangxiu descended at a rapid speed.

During this period, looking down at the earth's surface, the mountains, rivers, land and the great road of heaven and earth contained in them appear extremely special and extremely high, but at the same time give people a feeling of severe incompleteness!

In addition, Fang Xiu caught a glimpse of huge mountains towering into the clouds, some tens of thousands of feet high!

This is the real Earth.

Of course, the real scene only lasted for a short moment and was soon replaced by low mountains, as if everything seen before was an illusion.

As a reincarnator, I naturally know the reason——

The essence of heaven and earth is too thin, almost negligible, and it is difficult for mortals to embark on cultivation, let alone the emergence of great cultivators. The famous mountains and rivers are even folded up.

“But there are a lot of good things.”

"It's just that I don't know whether the team sent by the Zhongzhou team in advance has already arrived."

"According to the time, the Demon Team has already entered the Heaven Covering Realm. Sigh, what will they do next…"

“No matter what, I have gained the recognition of the Ancient Axe, and I have the upgraded version of the Heaven Devouring Demon Jar. I have obtained the blood of the Beginningless and the remains of the Great Accomplishment Saint Body. These are still good cards.”

"I talk to animals, similar to catching small accounts, sorting out the small cards, not delaying the rhythm."

Like dumplings falling from the sky, dozens of figures fell freely from the sky into the sea, stirring up huge waves and rushing towards the distance.

On this day, residents of the island countries in the surrounding waters were terrified, mistakenly believing that another earthquake and tsunami that shocked the world had occurred, causing countless deaths and injuries. They were also worried that another nuclear power plant accident would happen again.

"Is this... the road leading to Lingshan?" Shan Huang frowned.

Daxia Dragon Bird echoed: "That's right, I once saw this area from afar."

At this moment, there was a huge group of demons surrounding Fang Xiu, and only the two of them were left following him. They determined their current specific location through their words.

Lingshan!

The essence of the Way of Heaven is the Western religious saint Cundi!

If you want to make progress, you naturally have to make the right decision and choose the most suitable path, just like the Taoist Lu Ya in the Animal Realm, who was transformed from the essence of the sun, so he would take the initiative to practice the Sun Sutra and absorb various divine fires.

——Suddenly, a vast Buddhist force surged from afar. The wave made the psychologically traumatized Daxia Longque want to worship it. He highly suspected that the big bald donkey Sakyamuni was still alive!

Sensing that a powerful Buddhist was approaching, an ancient road automatically meandered out, as if to lead them on their way.

Fang Xiu was not in a hurry and moved forward step by step. There were many ancient monuments on the roadside, which seemed not like the real world left for mortal life - the mountains were extremely majestic, and the atmosphere was not inferior to those ancient peaks in the Eastern Wilderness.

They are the symbols of the earth’s past glory!
It’s a pity that with the passage of time, all of them have been folded into various corners and corners, forming another small world.

If Tiandao Fangxiu is not strong enough and has no real affinity with Buddha, it would take a lot of effort to accurately capture the location of Lingshan.

"There's a dead body ahead!"

Daxia Longque spoke. He originally wanted to say "bald donkey", but after seriously thinking about his own situation and inadvertently glancing at Tiandao Fangxiu's bald head, he felt that he should be more respectful to Buddhist practitioners in the future.

Tiandao Fangxiu, who was examining the general situation of heaven and earth, looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old monk, skin and bones, with a yellow body, almost light gold, lying in front of him, dead.

Moreover, the monk's robes are very old.

Since the three men did not suppress the flow of wind when they approached, once the air circulated, he turned into ashes on the spot.

In addition, there is a line of ancient characters carved on the rock in front of him. It is very sloppy and written in ancient Sanskrit in a hurry.

The general meaning is that he was devoted to Buddhism, but he could not see Mount Lingshan. Before he passed away, wisdom appeared in his mind. He followed the guidance and walked all the way to here. He finally saw the ancient road, but his life ran out and he collapsed at the starting point.

"Just a second-level immortal." Shan Huang said disdainfully.

Because of this, Fang Xiu did not delay and continued on his way, holding in his hand the blessed divine pestle that emitted infinite Buddha light. The Twelve-Level Golden Lotus of Merit had also appeared. The Buddha light allowed this special ancient road to extend deeper and deeper.

During this period, the three of them passed through mountains that could not be seen in the mortal world. When their eyes focused again, their target was a ruined temple.

Then, we saw an ancient temple, not very big, with only one stone hall in it. An old monk passed away in the hall, and left a last word, saying:

The road to Xunling Mountain ends here. The road ahead is vast and there is no hope anymore.

After all, only the profound power of Buddha can open up a path to the other shore.

"This one is quite interesting. The entire skin is covered with a hint of light gold. In the words of Buddhism, it is almost the level of an Arhat."

"That's all."

As the two demons were talking, the ancient road ahead became increasingly remote, as if it had no end, until Tiandao Fangxiu began to experience tremendous Buddhist power surging from his body.

In response, in the distance there was also a surge of Buddha nature like the vast ocean, vast and boundless, comparable to Mount Xumi in the western desert of the Big Dipper's Burial Emperor Star!
Great Sage = Ancient Buddha.

No matter how high the threshold set by Sakyamuni is, it is impossible to block the progress of the Way of Heaven.

The sunset glows brightly and the auspicious aura rises.

After walking for a while, the ancient mountains appeared, and the wild atmosphere was overwhelming. Towering mountains were connected in a piece, and old trees blocked the sun. Living creatures appeared, and some even roared to shake the mountains and rivers. It was similar to the periphery of the ancient forbidden land, almost a primitive world.

"The power of Buddha has disappeared. Is it Lingshan?"

Daxia Longque couldn't help but wonder, but after years of imprisonment and repeated setbacks from Buddhist masters, he didn't dare to investigate casually.

In the eyes of demons, the threat posed by the Buddhist stronghold is no less than that of any life-forbidden zone, especially since there had indeed been a flash of mighty power of faith before.

Beside him, Shan Huang responded calmly: "We are close to the sacred mountain."

What does the Quasi-Emperor of the Third Heaven need to be afraid of?
As long as he doesn't run into the imperial soldiers, he can do whatever he wants. At least compared to the Great Xia Dragon Bird, he is still courageous.

Architectural Buddhist relics, ancient Sanskrit characters, vast scenery, and wild beasts that dared not approach. Just like that, using the secret of "行" to shrink the distance into an inch, Tiandao Fangxiu led his two thugs and walked more than a hundred miles in an instant before stopping.

Lingshan?

Not sacred.

At least what was blocking the way ahead was a ruined land, the Buddha nature was completely lost, waves of crying and evil spirits were heard, and a ghost shadow was approaching quickly, as fast as lightning, and pounced on him in the blink of an eye!
"Ants."

There was no need for Fang Xiu to take action, let alone for Shan Huang and Da Xia Long Que to perform. Shukaku, who was lying on his shoulder like a pet, just stared at him, and the magnetic field force was enough to hold him in place.

A gray shadow appeared.

He was an old monk, wearing a grey robe, with a sturdy figure, surrounded by black air, and with red eyes, as if he was possessed by a demon. A large number of fine scales grew on his face, spreading to all parts of his body. He was no longer a human being.

The end of good is evil.

It is also a major feature of the world view of "The Great Ruler".

No matter whether it is the Great Emperor, the Ancient Emperor, or the even more ancient Heavenly Lord, they all had boundless blood and were immune to all evil during their lifetime, but after death they would still give birth to divine thoughts - the embodiment of the evil side of their character, which would be released only at the time of their demise, gradually forming a powerful mental force and transforming into a human-shaped devil.

"Are you also looking for the sacred mountain? I hate it!"

Even though he was tied up, the old monk with red eyes was still grim, with black air lingering around him. He said in a sad voice like a ghost: "You are devoted to Buddha, but you still can't see the sacred mountain. Even if you are about to become a saint, you will still find nothing after risking your life. What's the point of worshiping Buddha?"

"The Buddha is dead, what are you still looking for..."

The roar stopped abruptly.

Just a glance, and then he disappeared.

The six pure bamboos held in Tiandao Fangxiu's hands swayed gently, and the old monk whose body was destroyed turned into a ray of holy light. He sat up in the void, chanted "Namo Amitabha", and then turned into a rain of light and disappeared, dispersing all the resentment.

The Great Xia Dragon Bird did not dare to ridicule and claimed that Buddha and devil were one and the same. It followed obediently behind as a younger brother. The closer it got to Lingshan, the more dead bones it saw along the way, and they were all great monks who had achieved enlightenment when they were alive.

Many of them turned into zombies, and then were shattered on the spot by the dragon bird's roar, clearing a path forward without being disturbed.

Everything will fall into place.

The journey was coming to an end, the ancient road was interrupted, and a dark abyss stretched ahead, blocking everyone.

"There are so many meaningless tests." Shan Huang showed little interest.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

The abyss was filled with black fog, ghosts were crying, and wolves were howling. All kinds of demons and monsters were struggling inside, as if they wanted to crawl out and claim lives.

"It seems to be called something like Chaos Demon Abyss. It is the place where all kinds of demons were suppressed and killed by the bald donkey Shakya before he became enlightened. Many of them were filled in." The Great Xia Dragon Bird was born on the ancient Earth and knew some secrets.

"What a pity. Times have changed." Tiandao Fangxiu spoke. He glowed with golden light, covering Shukaku as well. He stepped on the evil spirits that rushed up one after another and added, "The Dharma Ending Age has finally affected Lingshan. They no longer have the magic power they had in their lifetime. At most, they can only exert the combat power of the Ancient Saint level."

"If you hold the token, you may even encounter weaker enemies."

With ease, he chose Lingshan as his first stop. Tiandao Fangxiu, who was searching deep for opportunities, passed through the Chaos Demon Abyss without any danger, successfully reconnected the broken road, and moved forward again.

Rumble... It's a bit similar to Journey to the West, with waves rising into the sky, and the last level is a vast ocean.

"When the universe was first created, I had a good reputation. Fortunately, I have been able to hold on and not change. There are waves and winds, but I am still stable. There is no beginning and no end, and peace and prosperity."

Occupying the body of the Saint Zhunti and robbing him of his Dao fruit and fortune, Tiandao Fangxiu casually threw out six pure bamboos, which turned into a bottomless boat, while reciting the words of the Saint Jieyin in Journey to the West:

"If you can return to oneness without being stained by the six senses, you can walk peacefully and freely through all the aeons. A bottomless boat can hardly cross the sea. I have ferried all living beings from ancient times to the present."

Hearing this, Shan Huang let out a long sigh. At this point, he was almost certain that Lingshan had truly declined. As long as Sakyamuni did not show up in person, then... with his cultivation level of the third level of the Quasi-Emperor, he could easily kill his way through.

"weak."

Daxia Dragon Bird said frivolously: "The strongest being in the sea is only at the Saint King level."

With the help of the bottomless boat, the group of three people and one beast avoided any attacks from the evil ghosts and souls in the sea and easily reached the other side. This time they didn't have to grope their way forward.

Tian Dao said nothing, but he could clearly feel the vastness and fluctuations of Buddha nature, which were no less than those of ordinary quasi-emperors.

A sacred aura permeated the sight, transforming into a rain of light, sparkling and brilliant.

In the core pure land, there grows an ancient Bodhi tree with branches like coiled dragons stretching out in all directions. Its leaves are lush green and juicy, emitting the vibrations of the Great Dao.

And under the ancient tree, there was a figure that made the Mountain Phoenix look calm and as if it had regained some confidence!

The Great Xia Dragon Bird even turned around and tried to escape.

He was a middle-aged man in his thirties, sitting cross-legged alone, spotless, his body imprinted in the void, explaining what it meant to blend with the Tao, as if he was born in the ancient, present and future time and space.

Sakyamuni.

Different from his non-existence in the Conferred God Realm, in this trial, he was the spirit transformed from the corpse of the Great Emperor Amitabha of the Western Desert, nine levels beyond the ordinary quasi-emperors.

"At the end of the road, we see Sakyamuni."

Those who believe that Zhunti Saint is the way of heaven always feel a little bit against Tiangang.

"You two are so useless. It's just an advanced phantom, but you were frightened by it."

Shukaku has an extremely venomous tongue.

Shan Huang was half-believing and half-doubting. He looked up and saw petals falling in all directions. Crystal flowers were floating down from the branches of the Bodhi tree, making a rustling sound.

At the place where the ancient tree took root, the otherworldly Sakyamuni sat cross-legged under the tree, still blending with all things and coexisting with the Tao.

What a pity, I can’t bear to look closely!

After barely steadying himself, the Great Xia Dragon Bird also noticed something. Indeed, the Buddha closed his eyes and let the falling flowers land on his shoulders. He seemed to have not moved for thousands of lifetimes. He looked peaceful and detached, but too... empty.

Similar to the Buddha statues in temples!
"You are too late. The sacred mountain is closed. You can only reappear in the world when the sea dries up."

At this time, as if aware of the scrutiny of several people, a wave of waves came as a response, and the figure with closed eyes under the Bodhi tree whispered, communicating with them across time and space.
