Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 227 The other side, the peak!
"Namo Amitabha!"

"Ok?"

In an instant, a Buddhist chant spread throughout Longhu. Even the old Taoist priest and Xia Ye, who were drinking tea in the room, put down their teacups with shining eyes.

After a little feeling, the old Taoist priest smiled and said softly:
"That guy Jie Kong...is finally complete."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xia Ye:

"Is this also within your expectations? Or... did you intentionally facilitate this?"

Although he was not present at the scene, nothing in the Heavenly Master's Mansion could escape the old Heavenly Master's perception. He naturally knew why Master Jie Kong had made a breakthrough, so he asked this question.

"Sure enough, nothing can escape the old master's eyes."

Faced with the question, Xia Ye nodded generously, then narrowed his eyes.

"You also know what I want to do, and one of the keys is the overall strength of the alien world. Not only does it need to improve the 'lower limit', but it also needs more top-level strongmen to serve as 'leaders'."

then……

"You also know that I traveled for three years before settling in Hangzhou. Naturally, I have come into contact with Master Jiekong more than once, and I have also proposed to treat him and heal his bones..."

Xia Ye continued.

“But when I mentioned this, Master Jiekong shook his head and declined. After some observation, I realized that Master Jiekong’s injury was not caused by the accident. With Lao Xiao’s strength at that time, it was impossible for him to cripple Master Jiekong. This was the master’s own choice. First, for redemption, and second... for his own practice!”

"hehe, not bad."

Hearing this, the old Taoist nodded slightly and immediately began to recall:
"Speaking of which, Jie Kong is of the same generation as me. He was also the most popular genius in Buddhism back then. However, in his early years, he did not have as deep a knowledge of Buddhism as he does now. He was just a reckless warrior monk..."

"As you know, Buddhist monks all cultivate the spirit of Vajra and have the power of angry eyes. He is also very talented in martial arts. In addition, the situation was turbulent at that time. He killed many vicious people when he was wandering in the world. He committed a lot of sins for Buddhism."

"Oh?"

This was the first time Xia Ye had heard of this. After all, it was not mentioned in the original comics, and only old people like the old Taoist priest knew about it.

"So, Master Jiekong back then also had a lot of murderous intent?"

Xia Ye immediately became curious.

"Yes."

"Because of his heavy sins of killing, his Buddha nature was affected and he almost went astray. If his master hadn't seen the situation and led a group of fellow disciples to forcibly bring him back to Shaolin, and used the purple gold bowl left by Bodhidharma to suppress the murderous aura in his body, he would have probably become a demon!"

"So since then, has Master Jiekong's murderous nature been restrained?"

"No."

"Oh?"

Xia Ye showed a look of surprise when he heard the old Taoist's answer.

"Since then, this guy no longer kills people recklessly like before, but he did not stop there. After his murderous nature was suppressed, he seemed to have an epiphany. He secretly took away the purple gold bowl used to suppress his murderous nature and set out on his journey again."

"This time, he will no longer kill evil or eliminate evil when he sees it, but will first use the Dharma to influence and persuade the other party with reason, until the other party will not listen at all and will not repent at all, then he will act with the angry eyes of a vajra, so as to give a wake-up call!"

"A wake-up call?"

"You mean the kind that hammers the head into the chest with a stick?"

Xia Ye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then said jokingly.

"Well..."

"Indeed, there are."

"puff--"

"Good guy!"

Xia Ye really didn't expect that Master Jiekong, a monk who was usually extremely gentle, had done such a thing in the past. It was really eye-opening.

"Haha, in short, since then, that guy has understood the principle of 'gradual progress' and 'persuasion step by step'. The murderous nature in his heart has been reduced, and his Buddhist practice has also improved day by day."

"When he returned to Shaolin Temple after his travels, he had already attained enlightenment. His master was about to die, and his master wanted him to be the next abbot of Shaolin Temple, but he refused."

"Why?"

"As for the reason, I asked him when I met him that year, and he just said that his fate was not in Shaolin, but in Lingyin Temple."

The old Taoist priest recalled.

"Now it seems that Buddhism places great emphasis on 'nature', and when one has an epiphany, one often involuntarily enters the inner world. Perhaps he saw something in the inner world, which is why he made this choice."

"I see……"

Hearing this, Xia Ye nodded, then concentrated on analyzing, and seemed to have the answer.

"That is to say, Master Jiekong might have foreseen what happened to Old Xiao long ago, and was waiting for him in the Lingyin Temple!"

"Well, it's possible."

In this way, Xia Ye also completely understood that Xiao Zizai's meeting with Master Jiekong was not accidental, but destined. This was not only an opportunity for Xiao Zizai, but also a huge opportunity for Master Jiekong.

Perhaps the murderous nature in Master Jiekong's heart was only suppressed but not eliminated, and Xiao Zizai, a born killer, was his opportunity. To save others is to save oneself. When Xiao Zizai saw through the illusion, he also saw the "road to the other shore"!
"However, I never expected that Master Jiekong would directly embark on the 'road to the top' once he achieved enlightenment!"

The next moment, Xia Ye suddenly spoke, showing a look of surprise.

As a "senior" who has already reached the pinnacle, his feeling at this moment must be correct. Today's Master Jiekong is just like him back then, he has completely pushed open that door and seen the scenery behind the door!
"Haha, this is the beauty of Buddhist practice. Cause and effect, reincarnation, birth, destruction and emptiness. As long as you can truly understand it, everything will happen naturally..." the old Taoist said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, this is a good thing for you and me. We have one more fellow Taoist on the road. At the same time, it is also good for your plan. From now on, the Buddhist monks will have a true leader!"

"That's true."

Xia Ye also smiled and nodded.

Just as the old Taoist priest said, he certainly did not expect that Master Jiekong would reach the pinnacle in one day, but this result was not a bad thing from any angle. It could even be said that it was exactly what he wanted.

Then, he suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but say, "Speaking of which, old Heavenly Master, now that Master Jiekong has also reached the pinnacle, it means that there are three pinnacles in this world, which is unprecedented in the past."

"Yes, indeed..."

The old Taoist priest also noticed this, but he did not show any surprise, as if he had expected it.

"Regarding this point, we can only say that this is the general trend and the time has come."

The old Taoist priest said meaningfully.

"From ancient times to the present, whenever there is a great era, there will inevitably be many heroes and a hundred schools of thought. Talented people are like the stars in the sky, and heroes and heroes are like bamboo shoots after rain. However, they have not yet reached the current scene of 'unique excellence'..."

"This may also mean that the coming great world is not comparable to any of the past. There may be unprecedented dangers... but it also hides great hope."

"..."

"Old Heavenly Master, you must know something, but you just can't tell me, right?"

Hearing this, Xia Ye became more certain of his previous judgment and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Um……"

"Don't say it."

The old Taoist nodded and took another sip of tea.

"It's okay. Your reminder is enough. I will go to the inner scene to find out what's going on."

At this point, Xia Ye stopped thinking about it and continued to watch.

……

……

And just as the two of them were drinking tea and "chatting".

In the misty atmosphere, Master Jiekong's body had already been enveloped by the Buddha's light emanating from his own body. He said no more and remained silent.

However, his movements at this moment were rather strange. Although he put his hands together and silently recited the Heart Sutra, his head was raised high, and his eyes shining with golden light were staring at the sky, and his gaze seemed to penetrate the fog and reach the sky.

Just as Xia Ye said, Master Jie Kong has now stepped into the "road to the top", and similarly, he also saw the scene that Xia Ye had seen at the beginning - the spying from outside the sky!
"..."

He quietly observed these gazes, but did not react too much. He still silently recited the Heart Sutra with an extremely calm expression.

"All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such..."

For Master Jiekong, even if these gazes from outer space really exist, they are still false, illusions on the path of reincarnation and mirror flowers under the Bodhi tree.

The road is right in front of you, the road is right under your feet. No matter what lies ahead, just treat it as your own salvation.

moment……

Master Jiekong stopped looking, and there were no longer any prying eyes or thoughts. He just smiled and chanted the Buddha's name softly:
"Amitabha!"

Da da da……

The next moment, he raised his foot and walked slowly forward. He reached one side and was about to head to the next side.

As for Xiao Zizai...

Bathed in the Buddha's light emitted by the Master and immersed in the lecture just now, he seemed to have transformed himself into a Buddha, his mind was as calm as still water, and he felt an unprecedented peace in his heart.

Guchi guchi!

It can be seen that at this moment, the tumor on his neck has grown as big as his two heads, and his facial features are also growing rapidly as he moves. After just a few breaths, a brand new head is born!
wow——

And at the moment the head grew, a mask appeared and covered its face.

And that’s not all…

Guchi guchi!

After the head grew, two more balls of flesh began to wriggle out on Xiao Zizai's back and grew rapidly.

puff-

In a moment, two arms as strong as the other four arms stretched out from the tumor, and then the fists were clenched, and a terrifying momentum rushed out in an instant!

boom! ! !
Xiao Zizai never expected that just by meeting his master once, he would achieve further breakthrough, possessing the legendary "three heads and six arms", and evolving from the original "third-level Ashura Fighter" to a "second-level Ashura Fighter"!
Unlike before, this entire process was completely without the help of Xia Ye or the assistance of elixirs, which meant that he had truly embarked on his own path as his master had said!
After this……

Xiao Zizai began to feel it carefully. Then he found that after the evolution, his strength, true energy and soul strength had reached several times of before, and the improvement of his overall strength was even more terrifying. He was afraid that he could easily defeat his pre-breakthrough self with just one finger.

When he has reached this level, he can be said to be truly "invincible". At least among all the extraordinary people in the world today, as long as they have not reached the top level, he has the confidence to win no matter how many come!

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared outside the fog...

"Wow, this bald guy Jie Kong has also broken through to the 'ultimate realm'. It seems that there are many opportunities in the future!"

Zhou Sheng squinted his eyes and observed the situation in the fog, muttering to himself.

He originally thought that if there was anyone in this world who could really break through to the "ultimate level", it would definitely be between himself and Zhang Huaiyi. After all, even the "Eight Wonderful Skills" had their levels of superiority and inferiority, and his "Fenghou Qimen" and Zhang Huaiyi's "Qi Body Origin" were the two doors closest to the origin of heaven and earth!
of course……

There is also the "Daluo Cave Observation" of Gu Jiting.

But for some reason that guy hadn't shown up for a long time, and even he couldn't find him, so there was no way of knowing his current level of cultivation.

"I don't know what that guy Thirty is doing..."

Muttering softly, Zhou Sheng stopped thinking about it and instead stared at the overall foggy situation, unable to help but praise in his heart.

"This girl is truly a genius in numerology!"

"In that case... hehe..."

Zhou Sheng's mind moved, and an idea suddenly came to his mind. He used Qi to transmit the sound to Qu Ying who was controlling the Qi situation in the mist:
"Girl, can you do Master a favor and train Wang Ye?"

"Oh?"

Qu Ying raised her eyebrows when she heard this.

"Then what kind of training method does Master want?"

"It's very simple. I will wake this kid up and throw him into your game. You can set up a game within the game to play with him and see if he can break your game with the 'Feng Hou Qi Men'!"

"OK, no problem."

For Qu Ying, her mission at this point has been completed. According to Xia Ye's arrangement, they have to hold these guys back first. There is still plenty of time.

In this way, helping the master to train this junior brother was not a problem. It was just a piece of cake. She agreed and immediately began to build up the Qi situation.

And since the purpose is to temper Wang Ye, the choice of the Qi situation is very important. It would be best if it is difficult to deal with even with the "Fenghou Qimen" so that he can comprehend from it and have a deeper experience.

After a little thought, Qu Ying immediately came up with an idea. The way of a sorcerer lies in "insight" and "control", and this is especially true for "Fenghou Qimen". If one can make it lose these two abilities, the effect will naturally be best.

moment……

"Master, all right, throw this kid in."

Qu Ying greeted him, and Zhou Sheng immediately turned his head to check, then glared at him.

"You are so cruel, girl!"

Then he thought:

"Well... your problem is really difficult. Find him a companion. The kid from the Zhuge family is pretty good. His talent is also one in a million. Throw him in as well and see if the two of them can break through!"

"Row."

After saying that, Zhou Sheng took out the "devouring capsule" from Xia Ye from his pocket, released the still unconscious Wang Ye, and slapped the boy in the face...

Snapped!
"Hmm...huh?"

Before the boy could wake up, he threw him into the…

Swish!
Following a perfect parabola, Wang Ye's figure was swallowed by the mist.

……

……

at the same time.

In the mist.

Zhuge Qing stared at the fog around him with a vigilant look on his face.

As a prodigy of the Zhuge family, he could naturally see that this must be a conspiracy, but he couldn't figure out what kind of means could have set up this conspiracy under the noses of so many senior masters.

"Incredible..."

Zhuge Qing understood that he was now trapped by "Heaven". Although he did not know their purpose, they must be making some big move.

At the same time, he was also thinking, according to reason, the other party was so presumptuous, the old Taoist priest should have taken action, but why after such a long time, there was no movement from the old Taoist priest, and he was a little confused for a moment.

"In addition, judging from the previous actions of 'Heaven', its intentions must be very big, but at the same time, it has also acted very cautiously, without revealing any clues, and everything is done in secret..."

So, Zhuge Qing couldn't help but analyze.

"But this time they suddenly acted so high-profile, and even trapped everyone including the company's staff. Could it be that the situation they had set up before has matured, and they are now ready to 'start a rebellion'?"

In Zhuge Qing's opinion, this is very likely. After all, he had already known before that "Heaven" wanted to open up the "world of aliens", make the existence of aliens public, and change the current situation.

However, he still couldn't judge why the other party did this at this moment. Logically speaking, the biggest opponents of "Heaven" should be "the company" and "the bosses". To trap them here... it seemed meaningless.

However, before he could think further, something strange happened. The mist around him suddenly surged like a whirlpool, instantly sucking him in and wrapping him tightly...

"Um?!"

Realizing that the situation was not good, Zhuge Qing acted decisively and immediately ignited the "Samadhi True Fire" in his body. However, the bluish-green flame was suppressed by a mysterious force just as it rose, and dissipated all of a sudden in the surging fog!

"what?!"

Seeing that all his trump cards were broken in an instant, Zhuge Qing's pupils shook violently. He immediately planned to circulate Qi again and use strange magic to fight the enemy, but then he was stunned where he was.

"Where's my...Chi?"

That’s right, the next moment after his “Samadhi True Fire” was extinguished, he suddenly found that he could no longer feel the true Qi in his body. The calmness he had maintained all this time suddenly disappeared, and his face was filled with shock!

You know, for extraordinary people, the perception of true Qi is everything. Even if the true Qi is temporarily exhausted due to excessive use of means, it does not mean that there is no trace of true Qi in the body. There will always be a strand of "Qi root" flowing to regenerate new Qi.

But at this moment, Zhuge Qing could no longer sense that trace of "Qi root", and even the "spiritual power" that he had cultivated for more than twenty years could no longer be mobilized. His originally iron-like body seemed to have lost its brilliance and became as "weak and powerless" as an ordinary person.

"wrong……"

"This must be an illusion!"

But soon, Zhuge Qing regained his composure. As a top sorcerer, a moment of loss of composure was already the limit. The most important thing right now was to figure out the situation.

At this moment, although he had lost everything about the alien, his vision and knowledge gained from years of practice still remained. He immediately judged that this should be some kind of means of obscuring his perception, otherwise it would be impossible for him to have no feeling when his life energy was being extracted!

But the problem is...

"The perception of a warlock is already strong. In addition, I have now comprehended the 'inner situation', and my six senses are far beyond the ordinary. Even my own perception can be blocked. This method is not simple..."

"Adding to this mysterious fog, the person who made the move must be an extremely powerful master of numerology, perhaps even stronger than any sorcerer I know, hiss..."

"Is this the strength of 'Heaven'?"

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt about "Heaven", and Zhuge Qing's face couldn't help but gloom. He thought that "Heaven" relied on those miraculous potions, but he didn't expect that the strength it displayed was also extraordinary.

In this way, he could not help but start to think whether the "little tricks" that the Zhuge family had played before were wise. If they really angered the Heavenly Court, then what would be the consequences...

Can the Zhuge family bear it?
While Zhuge Qing was deep in thought, suddenly...

wow——

The mist surrounding him suddenly stopped spinning and then dissipated with a whoosh.

"Ok?"

He squinted his eyes and found himself in an endless space. The space was black above and white below, with halos of various colors flowing around, which looked very magical.

"It is indeed an illusion!"

Just when Zhuge Qing was alert and wanted to observe the situation first...

"Ahhhhhhh-"

Suddenly, a scream was heard, and the voice seemed familiar. Then, a figure fell from above his head and landed directly on the ground.

thump!
"Oh-"

next second...

"Wang Ye?"

When Zhuge Qing saw the true face of the figure, his brows immediately frowned. He remembered that he had not seen this guy since the last battle and thought he had left.

"No, it could be an illusion!"

But just when he wanted to reach out and pull it up, he suddenly became alert. Since he had confirmed that everything in front of him was an illusion, anything could happen and he had to be cautious!
But soon...

"Zhuge Qing?"

"Where is this? Why are you here?"

After catching his breath, Wang Ye also noticed Zhuge Qing beside him. He couldn't help but stare at him with a look of surprise.

Then he remembered the previous meeting with Zhou Sheng and the scene of being ambushed by the other party. He wanted to say something but immediately closed his mouth, knowing that this was top secret.

So, he rolled over and got up from the ground, immediately checking everything around him, and soon narrowed his eyes:

"What's going on? Can you tell me?"

"Can't you see?"

Seeing him like this, Zhuge Qing became more alert and took a step back calmly. In his opinion, Wang Ye was equipped with the "Fenghou Qimen" and should have a stronger understanding of the Qimen Qi situation. He should not be unable to judge the current situation!

However, Wang Ye had just woken up and really didn't know anything. Seeing that this guy didn't answer, he could only observe on his own and soon found something wrong...

"No, where is my true Qi?!"

He touched his body, confused.
