The Eastern Emperor of all Heavens did not wish to become a Buddha.

Chapter 61 Ye Fan: Am I also destined to be with Buddha?
"What a show!"

The causal star lines in Zhong Xu's eyes dissipated, and the changing hand seals in his hands also disappeared.

The causal link has already been established, making it easy to find the other party again.

However, one must first persuade the Azure Emperor in order to truly gain control of the Chaos Azure Lotus.

swish swish

Beams of divine light rose up and descended towards the location where the treasure basin had just been, each beam radiating a powerful aura.

Clearly, although the treasure basin has left, it has just appeared there, and its residual energy is instinctively attracting many spiritual weapons.

"What a stroke of luck!"

Duan De's eyes lit up, and he instantly transformed into a rainbow of light, blocking the divine light.

Bang

Suddenly, an object fell from the sky and landed right next to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan picked it up out of curiosity and found it to be a palm-sized piece of green copper, which looked like a piece that had broken off from some kind of vessel.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Xu's face showed a strange expression.

What is meant by predestined fate?
This is what you call a preordained destiny!

Just by standing here, fragments of the Immortal Ascension Cauldron fall from the sky.

"This is."

Ye Fan examined it for a moment and found it to be just an ordinary piece of scrap copper, a look of disappointment on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Ye Fan, you should keep this item safe."

Seeing the change in Ye Fan's expression, Zhong Xu smiled and said, "This is a fragment of an immortal cauldron. Although it is broken and unusable, the divine patterns on it contain some of the secrets of the immortal cauldron. When you refine your own natal weapon in the future, this fragment will be a good reference."

"Fragments of the Immortal Cauldron?"

Ye Fan was startled and examined the bronze block in his hand again.

“Master, since it is a fragment of the Immortal Cauldron, you should keep it.”

As he spoke, Ye Fan quickly handed over the bronze block in his hand.

With his current cultivation level, he doesn't need this green copper block for the time being, so it's safer for the master in front of him to hold it.

Zhong Xu shook his head: "The divine runes on this fragment are incompatible with my path, so there's no use for me holding it. You should keep it."

This bronze piece was clearly destined for Ye Fan, so Zhong Xu naturally had no particular interest in it.

Moreover, his natal artifact has the Eastern Emperor Bell fragment as a reference, so he doesn't need this Immortal Ascension Cauldron fragment.

Seeing that this master didn't even seem to care much about the fragments of the Immortal Cauldron, Ye Fan felt even more a sense of the other party's mystery and power.

Then, Ye Fan carefully put the bronze block away.

This is a fragment of a celestial cauldron; it's clearly no ordinary object.

At this moment, the fat Taoist Duan De also flew back, firmly grasping a blood-red shield in his hand, with a golden short sword stuck in his buttocks.

Seeing such a bizarre way of seizing the treasure, Zhong Xu and Ye Fan were both speechless.

However, although Duan De was grimacing in pain, he was beaming with joy.

Shaking his head, Zhong Xu turned around and said softly, "Let's go. It's time to go to the real Qing Emperor's tomb and meet this only emperor since the ancient times."

'To see the Green Emperor?'

Ye Fan and Duan De were both stunned.

Where shall we meet?
Should I slit my throat?

Coming to their senses, the two quickly followed Zhong Xu's footsteps.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Duan De looked puzzled.

"literal meaning."

A faint Buddhist light flickered in Zhong Xu's eyes. After surveying the surrounding mountains and terrain, he turned his gaze and asked, "Fellow Daoist Duan De, do you really think that the palace those people attacked just now was the real Qing Emperor's Tomb?"

"Even the Azure Emperor's imperial weapon has appeared; if this isn't the Azure Emperor's tomb, then what is it?"

Before he could finish speaking, Duan De's eyes widened as he followed Zhong Xu's gaze.

The next moment, he stared intently at the distant mountain range, his fingers constantly forming hand seals, shaking his head as if he were delirious: "No, no."

As he spoke, Duan De directly rode the rainbow light and began to fly continuously along the surrounding mountains, exploring the surrounding earth veins and feng shui.

Seeing the fat Taoist priest jumping around, Ye Fan asked curiously, "Master, what's wrong with him?" Zhong Xu looked at Duan De's figure and said, "Fellow Daoist Ye Fan, don't look down on Fellow Daoist Duan De just because he seems unreliable. In fact, he is a grandmaster of feng shui and geomancy, and no one in the world can surpass him. He has now discovered the true layout of the Azure Emperor's Tomb and is deducing the details within it."

Ye Fan looked at the fat Taoist priest in the air in surprise, not expecting that the other party was actually a tomb raiding expert.

Swoosh

At this moment, Duan De suddenly landed, his face full of excitement: "So that's how it is, I understand now. There are actually two tombs of the Azure Emperor, based on the Taiji Yin-Yang principle. One is a Yang tomb, and the other is a Yin tomb. Those people just attacked the Yang tomb. The Azure Emperor's actual body should be located in the Yin tomb."

As he spoke, Duan De deduced the surrounding earth veins and feng shui while walking towards the mountain range ahead.

Seeing this, Zhong Xu quickly led Ye Fan to follow.

After crossing two mountain ridges, the three arrived at a dark, deep pool.

The deep pool was as still as stone, carrying an indescribable chill, as if it led straight to the deepest hell.

Duan De stood before the deep pool, constantly making hand seals, his facial expressions changing in a fascinating way.

Seeing the fat Taoist's expression, Ye Fan felt a little strange and looked at Zhong Xu beside him: "Master, what's wrong with this Taoist Master Duan again?"

Zhong Xu glanced at Duan De and couldn't help but laugh, "I'm afraid he's discovered how terrifying this Yin tomb in the Qing Emperor's Tomb is!"

Before Zhong Xu could finish speaking, Duan De's face showed a look of dejection: "As expected, the Yang Tomb was a flaw deliberately left by the Azure Emperor, while this Yin Tomb is his true resting place. It has been set up with a terrifying killing formation, which absolutely does not allow outsiders to disturb it. No matter how many people go in, they will die inside."

At this point, Duan De couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh.

The most painful thing in the world is to discover a colossal tomb, yet be unable to enter it and carry out the hauling work.

As Duan De sighed deeply, Zhong Xu stepped forward to the deep pool and felt the bone-chilling cold it contained.

Seeing this, Duan De recalled the extraordinary nature of this fellow Daoist Taiyi and a look of anticipation appeared on his face: "Fellow Daoist Taiyi, do you have a way to safely enter this Yin Tomb?"

"Give it a try!"

Zhong Xu glanced at the two of them and waved his hand: "You two should stay away from each other to avoid being implicated or hurt."

"what?"

Duan De and Ye Fan were taken aback, but after realizing what was happening, they immediately moved away from the deep pool.

Even Duan De, a Dao Palace cultivator whose cultivation surpassed Zhong Xu's, did not hesitate in the slightest.

He had personally experienced the power of this fellow Daoist Taiyi and felt the profoundness of his Buddhist teachings.

Since the other party said it might harm him, he had no doubt whatsoever.

Seeing the two figures disappear into the distance, Zhong Xu formed a Buddhist mudra with his hands, thinking to himself, "Senior, thank you for your trouble."

Buzz

The next moment, a clear and dazzling Buddhist light rose from Zhong Xu's body, carrying a sense of dreamlike emptiness, as if everything external was an illusion, and only he himself was real.

boom

In an instant, an unimaginable pressure rose from Zhong Xu's body, a compassionate and peaceful aura that commanded the worship of all living beings in heaven and earth, sweeping across the universe.

At this moment, Zhong Xu looked like a deity residing high in the heavens, so powerful that no one dared to look directly at him.

In the original ruins where the Azure Emperor's Tomb is located, all the powerful figures from various forces and ordinary cultivators trembled, as if a mountain had been pressed down on them.

What happened?

Outside the crater, the leaders of various forces who were searching for the legendary treasure of the Eastern Wilderness human race in the crumbling Demon Emperor's mausoleum were staring into the distance with horror in their eyes.

"A king? No, a saint."

How can it be?

How could there be such a powerful being on the ancient Big Dipper constellation today?
'Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable'

Outside the deep pool, Duan De stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

What happened?

Isn't this fellow Daoist Taiyi's cultivation only at the Other Shore Realm?

Why did it suddenly become so terrifying?
Even those great figures from ancient families and holy lands who had previously vied for the Demon Emperor's Weapon seemed insignificant in the face of this fellow Daoist Taiyi.

Could it be that the other party has actually been hiding their true strength all along?

Thinking of this, Duan De thought to himself that this bald monk was indeed cunning. No wonder he was able to defeat him, a great cultivator of the Dao Palace, with only the cultivation level of the Other Shore Realm.

On the other side, upon seeing the figure that resembled a Buddha, Ye Fan trembled, feeling an indescribable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen an elder of his own family.

After realizing what had happened, Ye Fan looked slightly bewildered: 'Master is indeed the reincarnation of Buddha, but why do I feel so close to him now? Could it be that I also have a connection with Buddha?'

Ye Fan fell into self-doubt.
