Spirit Mountain, Great Leiyin Temple.
Ye Xuan was dressed in a white monk robe. He was still disguised as Qing Ming Buddha because this was his current identity. Wutian and the others stood behind him, accompanied by Duobao Rulai and Dipamkara.
"Master, are you really leaving?" Wutian asked in a low voice.
"You're at the peak of the Sage-to-be. With you guarding Spirit Mountain, you can easily resist as long as the Saints don't come out. I'm not needed here anymore," Ye Xuan said calmly.
"Master, your identity can't be exposed. If you appear in the Three Realms alone, I'm afraid …" Duobao Rulai said worriedly, his eyes trembling slightly.
Obviously, Ye Xuan had offended the two Saints. Duobao Rulai was very confused about the relationship between Ye Xuan and the Two Saints of the West. Everything seemed to be a cloud of fog that he couldn't see or guess clearly.
"You must do what I tell you. You don't have to worry about anything else," Ye Xuan said calmly, his eyes unfathomable.
Because he had to leave. Controlling Spirit Mountain of the West was only his first step. It was only one of his methods to stir up chaos in the world.
Ye Xuan understood one thing very well. To forge iron, one had to be strong. The so-called methods were only temporary. He had to rely on himself to make himself stronger.
Only when he was strong could he suppress the world. At that time, he wouldn't need these useless methods. He could crush all his enemies, even the Saints would be trampled under his feet.
Ye Xuan wanted to find his second tribulation of the Heavenly Dao. Only after passing the three tribulations of the Heavenly Dao could he be fearless of the Saints. This was what he really needed.
Moreover, he was pressed for time. Although he had deceived the Two Saints of the West and lured out Yuan Ling, paper couldn't wrap fire. Sooner or later, his true identity would be exposed. Moreover, the Two Saints of the West and Yuan Ling would realize that he hadn't been converted at all.
Ye Xuan had to achieve supreme cultivation before he was discovered. Only then would he truly have no fear of the Six Great Saints of the Heavens and Earth. He would also have a bargaining chip to compete with them, and even truly face Yuan Ling.
If he stayed on Spirit Mountain, it would only waste Ye Xuan's time, so he had to leave. Moreover, he had already thought of where to find the second tribulation of the Heavenly Axiom.
"Farewell, Master."
Wutian and the others bowed to Ye Xuan. Duobao Rulai and Burning Lamp did not dare be slow because their lives were in Ye Xuan's hands. If Ye Xuan died, none of them would live.
Chi!
Ye Xuan stepped into the sky, and a cloud appeared under his feet, carrying him towards the east. In a flash, he disappeared from the eyes of Wutian and the others.
…
In the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars on Mount Lingtai Fangcun!
The Heavens and Earth were boundless, and the universe was always changing. The Mount Lingtai Fangcun had always been the pure land of the Three Realms since the creation of the Heavens and Earth. It had never been disturbed by anyone.
Pan Gu opened the sky, Hongjun preached the Dao, Sages appeared, and all things were born. The river of time flowed slowly according to the unchanging law. Everyone's fate was determined by the Heavens.
Whether it was the Six Great Saints of the Heavens or the living beings of the Three Realms, their fate had long been determined under the Heavenly Axiom, and could not be changed. There were many who shouted this slogan, "My fate is in my own hands, not the Heavens." However, there were very few who could really do it.
Although there were few, it did not mean that there were no such people in the Three Realms. All living beings who were not born by the Heavens and Earth had a glimmer of hope to not be controlled by the Heavenly Axiom.
Land Ya, Zhen Yuanzi, Donghuang Taiyi, Di Jun, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou … and the extremely mysterious Patriarch Subodhi. Their origins were extremely mysterious. Some were born from the Primal Chaos, and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was one of the Chaos Demon Gods. Naturally, they were not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Axiom.
Therefore, the Three Realms was not as simple as one imagined. It was filled with too many secrets that were not known by anyone.
Ye Xuan was dressed in a white monk robe. He strolled among the green mountains and clear waters. With every step he took, he crossed a distance of ten thousand miles. A mountain range in front of him faintly appeared in his eyes.
Buzz!
The void changed as lotuses bloomed with every step. The Buddhist light that filled the sky surged in the void. Golden lotuses bloomed in all directions. All living things were recovering. Vegetation was growing. The lush vegetation was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
So Near, Yet Worlds Apart. When Ye Xuan appeared at the foot of Mount Fangcun, he saw a scene that left him astonished.
Wheat fields were as dazzling as a golden sea. Large numbers of farmers were plowing the fields, and the hoes in their hands were constantly plowing the soil. It was as though they were immersed in the joy of farming.
Even though Ye Xuan's entire body was emitting a peaceful Buddhist light, making him look incomparably imposing, these farmers only raised their heads to glance at him before continuing to farm the fields beneath their feet.
"Interesting."
Ye Xuan's Dharma Eyes Tongtian could tell at a glance that the farmers were mortals. However, they did not show any surprise when they saw him. Instead, they had a tranquil look in their eyes. This made Ye Xuan filled with curiosity towards Mount Fangcun.
"Immortal Elder, are you here to seek immortality?"
A middle-aged man in a sweatshirt and carrying a hoe walked towards Ye Xuan. Although he was only a mortal, his body was strong, and he had a vitality that ordinary people did not have. He smiled and greeted Ye Xuan.
"I heard that there is a Patriarch Subodhi on Mount Fangcun. His magical power is boundless, and I have long admired him. I specially came here to pay a visit." Ye Xuan put his palms together and chanted the name of Buddha.
"As expected."
The middle-aged farmer laughed and said, "Every year, there are people who find this place and want to become Patriarch Subodhi's disciple. However, he only accepts fated people. If Immortal Elder can find the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars, you will naturally be able to meet him."
As the middle-aged farmer spoke, he pointed the way up the mountain for Ye Xuan. Then, he waved at Ye Xuan and went back to plowing the fields.
Following the direction pointed by the middle-aged farmer, Ye Xuan saw a small path up the mountain. He strolled towards it.
Mount Fangcun wasn't tall. It looked like an ordinary mountain, and it didn't have the slightest bit of concealment. When Ye Xuan stepped onto the mountain path, his entire body disappeared from Mount Fangcun.
Inside Mount Fangcun.
Ye Xuan walked along the small path up the mountain. The surrounding vegetation grew vigorously. Time passed by slowly. After two hours, Ye Xuan still did not see the end of the path.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan stopped. His eyes flashed with a strange black light. His eyes seemed to be able to see through the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man. He felt that there was something wrong with Mount Fangcun.
According to his speed, he would be able to reach the summit in at most the time it would take to brew a cup of tea. However, after a full two hours, he was still walking on the mountain path. If there wasn't any mystery behind this, Ye Xuan wouldn't believe it.
Ye Xuan abruptly turned his head around, and his eyes instantly froze. A trace of gloominess flashed through his eyes, because he actually saw that he was still at the foot of the mountain. This two-hour journey didn't allow him to advance at all.
"Sumeru Heaven and Earth, Ten Thousand Arts Traceless?" Ye Xuan muttered to himself. A look of shock flashed across his face.
