All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 1086 The Golden Emperor's Flaw

"You are not Wu Daoming!"

The Wang family patriarch stared at Tao Yu in front of him, his expression extremely solemn.

The sound also drew Tao Yu's attention slightly to him.

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

Tao Yu's extremely calm words made the Sage feel as if everything in the world was about to abandon him, which made him suppress the shock in his heart.

"I, I understand..."

The sage's voice sounded somewhat hesitant, yet carried a heavy burden.

He had spent his life studying numerology and divination, believing himself to be able to predict everything, but now he suddenly realized that it all seemed like a joke...

"Fate cannot be defied..."

The sage let out a sound that was somewhat sentimental, even sorrowful.

Just because of one sentence from the other party, everything I had calculated collapsed into one point, a point that had to be completed, and it was impossible to change it no matter what!
This is destiny!
"That's not entirely wrong, but there's more than one destiny."

Tao Yu looked at the number of sages in front of him, seemingly pondering something.

Because my training time was indeed too short, I lacked attention to detail.

This guy in front of me seems to be an expert in this area.

Without sufficient official backing, the divination of the number sage can only be seen as a joke, a complete clown to be manipulated.

But he lacks the status, which he possesses himself...

However, at that moment, Tao Yu suddenly sensed that someone was looking for his true form.

Given Tao Yu's status, even if it's just his physical body stepping into this space-time, because of the connection with his original body, the other party was captured by Tao Yu as soon as he had this thought.

"Moonlight Bodhisattva? Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli? That kid Meng Qi..."

Tao Yu saw the problem: Meng Qi had cleverly chosen the Pure Land of Glazed Glass lineage because it did not interfere with worldly affairs, so he could withstand the turmoil it faced.

However, although the Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli is also omnipresent, and the Bodhisattva of Moonlight is about to achieve enlightenment, the difference in their status makes it impossible for him to actively seek out Tao Yu.

While Meng Qi was in the Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli, he found the Dharma bodies of Lu Da, Su Wuming, Cui Qinghe, and others, but he couldn't find Tao Yu, thinking that he might not return.

The Moonlight Bodhisattva stirred slightly, then spoke calmly.

“We’ve found him. He was with the Sage of Numbers before and caused some slight interference.”

Although the power of the Number Saint is now vastly different from that of the Moonlight Bodhisattva, his grasp of heavenly secrets has earned the Moonlight Bodhisattva's praise.

"The ancestor of the Wang family of Jiangdong..."

Meng Qi was taken aback at first, then shook his head.
“Bodhisattva should have nothing to do with the Sage. He was one of the main driving forces behind this historical upheaval. He was the successor of the Human Emperor Sword and he severed Yuan Hong’s arm in a great battle.”

The Moon Bodhisattva, who had maintained a calm demeanor, showed some change in her aura after hearing Meng Qi's words, though her expression remained unchanged. After a moment of silence, she spoke.
"You mean he defied fate? But judging from his aura, he seems to be only around a Celestial Immortal. Has the Human Emperor Sword fully awakened on its own...?"

Moonlight Bodhisattva also knew Yuan Hong; he was a ruthless character who had mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, and even he was no match for him!
"This is just one of my incarnations."

While he was still speculating, Tao Yu had already taken the initiative to step into the Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli.

Entering the Pure Land without the permission of the Moonlight Bodhisattva was truly terrifying for him!
The Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli is the sacred site left behind by the Medicine Buddha!
Their status is among the highest in the creation!

Even though the Medicine Buddha has passed away, it should not be so easily invaded!

"Incarnation?"

Meng Qi also looked at Tao Yu, who had returned to her original form, with a puzzled expression.

"Your usual persona in the palace isn't just an avatar, and your true self only recently returned, is it?"

"Hey, you're really smart."

Tao Yu didn't care about these things; he sensed an aura here that was connected to the Azure Emperor.

It seems that the Medicine Buddha has not been deceased for very long...

"By the way, your second agreement with Lu Ya was to deliver a message to the Azure Emperor, right?"

Tao Yu turned to look at Meng Qi.

This also served as a wake-up call for Meng Qi.

Meng Qi initially wanted to ask the Moonlight Bodhisattva for help in finding someone, and now it seems he can fulfill the same promise!
After all, Lu Ya didn't say he wanted to bring it to the Azure Emperor himself!

“If you two are referring to the Medicine Buddha, he has already passed away, leaving behind only one relic.”

The Bodhisattva of Moonlight clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name.

They didn't even try to avoid suspicion, displaying the relics of Medicine Buddha.

Although it has been transformed into relics, the crystal-clear relics, full of Zen, still seem to retain the image of Buddha, carrying an indescribable Zen meaning.

Meng Qi was only trying to complete the mission, so he also tried to speak to the relic.

"Daoist Lu Ya asked me to pass on a message to you: 'The highest level of the Nine Heavens'..."

In an instant, lotus flowers appeared, and golden flames burst forth from the relics. Within the flames, the image of the Buddha emerged, and the Medicine Buddha was reborn from the ashes!
Tao Yu's eyes lit up slightly as he witnessed the Medicine Buddha's rebirth from the ashes.

"I see……"

Without witnessing it firsthand and without utilizing the power of those at the grassroots level, Tao Yu could not have gained complete insight.

But now that I have witnessed it with my own eyes, the original body that has always been connected to the long river of history has been traced back to the past!

The highest level of the Nine Heavens is the birthplace of the Azure Emperor, the beginning of everything for him!
After being pointed out by Meng Qi, the Medicine Buddha was brought back into contact with the Azure Emperor, thus resolving the greatest obstacle before reaching the other shore.

Is Lu Ya going to help the Azure Emperor?

This thought flashed through Tao Yu's mind.

Is he trying to find a new other side to help him achieve balance?
It doesn't matter. Even if the Azure Emperor had already attained the other shore, let alone before, it would be the 'destiny' for me to take the Investiture of the Gods from Lu Ya's hands!
"Have you finished what you needed to do here? Returning to the past ahead of time is something even a powerful being like Creation cannot obtain."

After Tao Yu saw through the truth of the Medicine Buddha's rebirth and return to the original form of the Azure Emperor, he turned to look at the Dharma bodies that had been washed over.

"Now I just want to go back safely."

Meng Qi looked at Tao Yu and felt that he should have a solution, since they were brought here by the aftermath of Tao Yu's actions.

"We can certainly return safely, but this is also an opportunity..."

Tao Yu glanced at Meng Qi and said meaningfully.

"You have to race against time."

Tao Yu's words made Meng Qi pause. A race against time?
"Are you telling me to cultivate here more and buy myself time for the future? But ordinary accumulation can only allow me to reach the rank of Celestial Immortal at most..."

Meng Qi is the fish of the Demon Buddha, without his own projection, making it difficult for him to achieve unity of self and other.

"Don't worry, I know this well, and you have an advantage over me. You can go and take away the Demon Buddha's mark."

Tao Yu started from scratch, while Meng Qi managed to steal a chicken.

"The Demon Saint and the Demon Buddha are sworn enemies, and the demon race has been relentlessly hunting down the Demon Buddha. Therefore, they possess a great deal of relevant information. I have reached an agreement with the future Demon Saint Spear, which is also valid now. Take my edict and go..."

Tao Yu wrote a handwritten edict and tossed it to Meng Qi.

The Three Pure Ones, in their pursuit of reduction and emptiness, and their planning for the attainment of the Dao, had little conflict of interest with Tao Yu.

However, he did have to repay the favors he had received from the Three Pure Ones, who had left him cultivation techniques and continuously offered him benefits.

Quickly helping Meng Qi break free from the demonic Buddha's entanglement and improve his strength is both something he's willing to do and something to repay karmic debts—a win-win situation...

……

Rumble~
The sky was ablaze with rosy light, and strange phenomena appeared one after another. The once tranquil river of history seemed to once again project images of mirages, astonishing the entire world.

Tao Yu, the true form of the immortal in the capital, sipped his fine wine, watching Daji's graceful dance in her flowing veil before him, and raised an eyebrow.

"You're quite something, aren't you? You were helping to protect us too, weren't you? Don't you trust me at all?"

Tao Yu glanced at the Golden Emperor beside him.

"The karma I have accumulated with the Three Pure Ones is too great to allow for the slightest mistake."

"We've already reached the other shore, so any karmic imbalances can be resolved. It turns out you really do have your eye on the Dao Fruit."

Tao Yu smiled slightly.

Having had in-depth exchanges with Jin Huang for so long, he has come to understand Jin Huang better and better.

He could choose not to help Meng Qi, and he could choose not to repay the debt of karma. In more popular terms, he could say, "Go ahead and sue me."
Tao Yu always followed his heart in doing things, so it was a completely natural thing for him to do, without any setbacks.

But the Golden Emperor is different!
The majestic divine will of the other shore imbued her with pride and nobility almost to her very bones.

But she was willing to lower herself so much to seek an opportunity to help them!

Even after she had already helped Meng Qi, she was still silently watching, which was beyond what she would normally do! There must be a bigger ambition behind it.

She wanted to settle all the karmic debts owed to the Three Pure Ones in one go!

The fact that she's in such a hurry to pay off her debts means she has bigger plans for the future, and she might... or rather, she definitely will become an enemy of the Three Pure Ones!
"Look at what you're saying, Master. I just don't want to keep owing karma. Right now, my fish are all being protected by your good brother. I just want to settle the debt first so that it'll be easier to settle accounts later..."

Jin Huang's words were reasonable and well-founded, with clear and logical arguments, and were completely justifiable.

Tao Yu nodded.
“That’s true, but if you’re already an ancient being, then it seems to make sense as well. Is Gu Xiaosang really your guiding light…”

Tao Yu looked at Jin Huang's stunningly beautiful face and reached out a finger to lift her chin.
“You have always served me with utmost care, so I will kill her to help you achieve your goal, and then revive her through external means. It’s the best of both worlds.”

Tao Yu comes from outside the Real World and has countless methods in the Abyss. Erasing Gu Xiaosang's existence from the entire Real World and then resurrecting her from the Abyss would indeed solve all the problems!
Upon hearing Tao Yu's words, Jin Huang paused in his flirtatious gestures, his watery eyes meeting Tao Yu's for a long while before gradually returning to a calm demeanor.

"You won. Directly introducing the power of the abyss is too cheating."

The reason why Jin Huanghui suddenly became so submissive and allowed herself to be manipulated was not only because she was willing to do anything to achieve her goals, but also because she had gradually figured out Tao Yu's personality.

Despite his extremely high status, he possessed a humanity that is lacking in the normal will of Heaven!
Although there may be some self-interest involved, as long as you successfully please him, he won't mind genuinely assisting and helping you.

In this situation, making this choice actually incurs the least 'cost'.

It's just a physical appearance. Jin Huang thinks that if other people on the other side were given this opportunity, there would probably be many who would make similar choices to him!

Yes, even if the other side is male in appearance, it is the same.

The biggest flaw in this whole affair was that Tao Yu was overly enthusiastic and helped out by giving Dao Biao Yu Er a friendly hand.

However, Gu Xiaosang's choice of Meng Qi, with whom she had a good relationship, eliminated this possibility in terms of personality, which made Jin Huang feel that everything was foolproof.

As a result, he said he could choose to erase the entity in this world and revive it in the outside world, which naturally made it impossible for the Golden Emperor to continue pretending.

Otherwise, if I actually did that, I would be the biggest clown in the world...

"You've really become an ancient person?"

Tao Yu had actually sensed that Jin Huang's attitude was off, and was mainly testing the waters.

But the only thing Jin Huang couldn't afford to gamble on was Gu Xiaosang!
Once the product of reducing the void is gone, all her plans become meaningless!

"The final calamity is approaching. Since I am to walk the world in place of Lingbao Tianzun, it is in line with the will of this final calamity. Becoming an ancient being is a natural progression. Even among the ancient beings, I will have a great advantage. The further time goes on, the greater my advantage will become."

Jin Huang glanced at Tao Yu, then said

"You are not my match yet..."

"Hey."

Tao Yu was so angry at the Golden Emperor that he laughed, "He's gone too far!"

"I'll show you if that's true!"

A great battle is about to break out, and the atmosphere is electric...

……

The Legend of Su Meng, the Mad Blade, Proving His Dao!
Despite having only recently become a Dharma Body, the youngest Dharma Body, 'Mad Blade,' has achieved legendary enlightenment in such a short time, causing an anomaly throughout the entire Real World.

This news caused quite a stir after it spread throughout the world.

Although the previous great battle in the capital city had brought forth projections of the long river of history, it was a contest of power between the great beings of creation.

But those are all collisions in myths like the Human Emperor's Sword and Yuan Hong.

Although it was amazing, it was not incomprehensible.

But 'Mad Blade' is different. He fought his way up from the Human Ranking to the Heaven Ranking. Starting as a Shaolin outcast, he seems to have always been the dream of many grassroots martial arts practitioners.

It showcases a grassroots dream.

As a result, 'Mad Blade' has now become a legend of enlightenment, revealing such an extraordinary phenomenon!
"This is so abnormal!"

"That's too fast!"

"How did he cultivate himself..."

"..."

Amidst everyone's astonishment, it was then discovered that almost all of their original Dharma bodies seemed to have increased in strength by a significant margin!

Lu Da, Su Wuming, and others all achieved the status of Celestial Immortals.

Although it is still far from the legend, the fact that it has improved so quickly reminds people of that banquet of immortals!

As an aside during the banquet, His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have mentioned that they had gone back to the past.

Did they all gain huge benefits from this opportunity?

Before everyone could even gasp in astonishment, what happened next shattered everyone's worldview.

The philosophers of the Middle Ages, such as the Sage of Mind, the Sage of Numbers, and the Sage of Benevolence, all faked their deaths!

These extraordinary figures from the medieval period all emerged from their coffins at almost the same time, shattering the immortal source and reappearing in the world!
It seems that their deaths back then were all illusions, a setup, and they were all sealed inside this strange thing.

"Immortal... Immortal Source?! Holy crap..."

Meng Qi had just achieved legendary status and had truly broken free from the Demon Buddha, severing all ties.

It is a time when one's thoughts are clear and one is most invigorated.

Hearing that the philosophers of the Middle Ages had been resurrected at this time, he was surprised, but he also thought that it might be the work of Tao Yu.

After all, the fact that they were able to return to the past this time meant that the enemy's combat power definitely accounted for the majority of the force, and even with the help of the Humanitarian Dynasty, their terrifying strength was still evident.

Therefore, it's not incomprehensible that some resurrections could be accomplished.

They all accumulated experience through cultivation during the Middle Ages, buying time for the final calamity.

Upon learning that he had escaped using the 'Immortal Source,' Meng Qi couldn't contain himself any longer. He went to the capital that very night and waited all night until Tao Yu lazily arrived at Yaochi to receive guests. Only then did he immediately ask the question.

"Did you come up with those 'immortal sources' because of your twisted sense of humor? Normal immortal sources don't have such long-lasting effects, right?"

"Ah, the raw materials are ones I got from the world of Shrouding the Heavens and processed them; they are indeed 'Immortal Source'."

Tao Yu's blunt and unvarnished words left Meng Qi somewhat speechless.

"I don't recall a 'Covering the Sky World' among the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Which sub-world is it?"

During the Six Paths of Reincarnation mission, Meng Qi had done a lot of research.

"It is not a vassal of the real world, but a 'sky-covering' world outside the real world..."

Now that Tao Yu has largely taken control of the situation, he has become much more straightforward.

The simple words 'beyond the real world' have had a tremendous impact.

I used to think that the final tribulation was just the Nine Netherworlds, and this makes it easier to understand.

However, Tao Yu's casual sketch instantly caused Meng Qi, who had just broken through to the legendary level, to have his mind go blank.

"Oh, and there's one more thing you'd better know."

After thinking of something, Tao Yu continued.

"what?"

“I have confirmed with the Heavenly Emperor that the Primordial Thunder God is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Emperor Haotian of the previous era. That is why he was able to easily assist the Heavenly Emperor in ascending to the throne and gain his trust. He also knows the secret of the Jianmu fruit, and Lu Ya is his son.”

Tao Yu's words moved Meng Qi once again, his face becoming solemn, and he then solemnly said...

"So that's how it is. No wonder the Demon Saint took a liking to him, no wonder he betrayed the Heavenly Emperor. It all makes sense now."

If the ancient thunder god wanted, he could become the new Heavenly Emperor himself.

That is why the Heavenly Emperor, whom he helped to ascend to the throne, trusted him so much. After all, if he could even give up the era of the other side, what else could he not trust?
That's why the Heavenly Emperor suffered such a huge blunder, which Tao Yu still finds hilarious even now.

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I probably would still be in the dark."

"You're welcome. Just don't blame me later."

Tao Yu's words immediately made Meng Qi feel a sense of crisis. Was this guy plotting against him?
"Can you tell me first? I won't blame you, really."

Meng Qi said cautiously.

"You've helped me so much, you've done me a great favor. Even if you were to kill me, I would only be returning my life to you."

"No, no, no."

Tao Yu waved his hand to comfort her.

"It's nothing serious, you'll find out in time..."
