The Bodhi tree swayed and made rustling sounds. They had already changed locations, and everyone was sitting cross-legged under the precious tree. Pang Bo, Longma, Ji Haoyue and the others were concentrating on healing their injuries.
Ye Fan was also motionless as he stood under the tree. He was experiencing everything that had just happened, consolidating his own dao fruit.
The roots of the Bodhi tree were like dragons, deeply rooted into the ground. The leaves on the tree were shaking like the ringing of a great bell. Ye Fan, Ji Ziyue, the little guy and the others were at peace. Those who comprehended the dao were comprehending the dao, and those who healed their injuries were healing. Their essence, energy, and spirit became one as they approached nature.
No one knew how much time had passed, but the Bodhi tree was like a scripture that was flipping pages. Chanting sounds rang out, and bizarre scenes appeared one after another, making everyone indescribably amazed.
Upon closer inspection, one could feel that this started from the modern era, and gradually progressed to the ancient era. Several figures appeared one after another, and their temperaments were all different.
Ji Haoyue, Longma, Gu Jinpeng and the others all woke up one after another, and stared blankly at everything.
"Could it be Shakyamuni?!" Pang Bo cried out in alarm. The first person that appeared was very similar to the Buddha statues worshiped in the temples on earth. This made everyone feel bewildered. Was this an imprint left behind by a supreme being in the past? Was there something special about it, or was there some indescribable danger?
The shadow flashed again, and another indistinct Buddha statue appeared. It was ancient and full of vicissitudes, as if it was a period of time, but also like a period of history that flowed from the past.
"This is … Amitabha Buddha!" Ji Ziyue and her brother's expressions changed at the same time. The second person that appeared was similar to the Buddha statue worshiped in the Western Desert's Great Thunderclap Temple, and they were both indistinct.
Two Buddhas appeared one after the other, and everyone's hearts felt a sense of enlightenment. They used a special method to comprehend the truth, and reached a transcendent realm.
Ye Fan was the first to wake up. He looked at everyone's expressions, and discovered that they were not confused. It was just a state of mind recorded by the Dao Understanding Tree, and only then did he relax.
It was related to Buddha, but there was no need to reject it. There were tens of thousands of laws in the world, and one could see them all, but they did not necessarily have to walk the same path.
A type of atmosphere was born, as if the two Buddhas were discussing the Dao. They were magnanimous, benevolent and compassionate, distinguishing between good and evil, and comprehending the meaning of the truth.
The others also woke up. They silently experienced it and verified it, comprehending their own laws and dao.
With a rumbling sound, the two buddhas suddenly shone with radiance. The Great Sage paced around the Bodhi tree one after the other. North, south, east, west, a total of forty-nine steps. The strange flowers followed him and emitted a strange radiance.
"The Bodhi Tree is extraordinary. It has recorded a great realm of the buddhist path. It is supreme, and it might be a great fortune for buddhist disciples." Ji Haoyue sighed softly.
Suddenly, the leaves on the tree swayed, and another image appeared. This was an elder with white hair and a full forehead. His eyes were wise and farsighted, and one could tell with a single glance that he was an ancient person with great wisdom. He had a quiet and indifferent temperament.
Of course, an even more ancient aura rushed over, as if it had penetrated through the entire history of the human race, extremely distant.
"Why do I feel like this is a scene from the end of the world?"
"Perhaps this is a character from the Mythological Era. After all, the Bodhi Tree once belonged to different Celestial Being and the Great Emperor."
Pang Bo and Longma discussed. This person was definitely extremely ancient and had accumulated over the years. If he was from ancient times, he would have appeared here.
In truth, this was also the case. From Shakyamuni to Amitabha, and then to this person, this was a process that went against the river of time.
"Why does he look familiar?" Ji Ziyue said in a daze.
Ji Haoyue's body shook when he heard this, as if he recalled something. He revealed a look of disbelief as he looked at his sister.
"Brother Haoyue, did you notice anything?" Pang Bo asked.
At the side, Ji Ziyue was also shocked. Her beautiful eyes shot out a shocking light, "It's him, he came to our Ji Family before. My ancestral uncles have seen him before."
"What? You have seen this person before? He went to your Ji Family?" Even Ye Fan was shocked.
Ji Ziyue nodded, her eyes bright and teeth white. Surprise was written all over her face, "That's right, two thousand years ago, an elder riding an ox visited my family. Some of the elders in the family saw him and drew his portrait in the library. My brother and I saw it by chance."
I!
Back then, this wise ancient person had crossed the starry sky and descended upon the Big Dipper. He had once visited the Ji Family. In the past, Ye Fan had heard the siblings talk about it.
"How is that possible, I … An ancient person from the Mythological Era, didn't die!?" Pang Bo felt that his mind was in a mess. This was just too shocking.
Ye Fan was stunned. He thought of some legends from the other side of the starry sky and fell into a daze. Thinking about it, he might be able to explain some problems.
Legend had it that Madam Li was washing clothes by the river at the entrance of the village. She picked up a yellow plum and gave birth to a son. When he was born, he had white hair and white eyebrows. He also had a fluffy white beard which was why he was named Laozi.
To the people of the future, this was obviously too ridiculous and was treated as nonsense. They found it unbelievable but now it seemed like there was more to it than meets the eye.
"Can such things be believed? It was just made up to deify the ancient people." Ji Haoyue frowned.
"No, this is a legend from our hometown. Ye Zi, did you think of something?" Pang Bo asked.
Ye Fan nodded and shared some speculations.
According to historical records, Laozi was born in Ku County of Chu, which is now Luyi County. During the Spring and Autumn Period two thousand five hundred years ago, there were many mountain torrents in Chu.
The mountain torrents in Chu were very serious. Mountains collapsed and the ground caved in. Bone books, stone tablets, and even skeletons could be seen.
"How can a person be born like an old man with white hair and beard …"
Ye Fan guessed that Laozi was an ancient venerable with a reincarnation seal in his body. After the mountain torrents, he was washed out from the belly of the mountain. When the water slowed down and he drifted down, Madam Li found him and fished him up.
"Obviously, he had a great background. He was the Celestial Being from the Mythological Era and had a reincarnation seal in his body. His primordial spirit had died, but his body was still immortal and had developed spiritual intelligence. He was Laozi in this generation. "
Pang Bo was dumbfounded and then sighed. "Ye Zi, this is only on this side of the starry sky. If you said this on Earth, you would be cursed to death."
"I think it's possible." Longma didn't care about anything else. He believed that the so-called Laozi was a Celestial Being from the Mythological Era who had seen the light of day again after the mountain torrents.
They were comprehending the dao under the emerald bodhi tree, discussing the laws and trying to figure out the orthodoxy of the ancients. For a moment, they were filled with emotions.
"Ye Fan …" Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside. The roar shook the sky like the roar of a deity, causing one's blood to surge.
The ten saints, Gu Jinpeng, and the others were all astonished. Who was this powerful? He could actually transmit his voice through the densely packed formation.
Ye Fan, Pang Bo, Ji Ziyue, and the others were stunned when they heard the roar. Then, they revealed astonished expressions and were overjoyed. This was too unexpected. This was an old friend.
"Is it him?"
"That's right, it's Brother Monkey."
They had never thought that they would hear the Sacred Prince's voice. They quickly disintegrated the formation runes and walked out of the great formation, just in time to see a divine ape with a thunderous mouth and golden eyes. Its entire body was resplendent with golden light.
"No wonder it's so powerful. It's actually the legendary Battle Saint Ape!" The Black Bear Saint and the others were alarmed. They had seen the most terrifying bloodline.
"Brother Monkey!" Pang Bo laughed.
Ye Fan, Ji Haoyue, and the others all went up to greet him. This was too unexpected. The Sacred Prince had also appeared on the other side. This was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Do you see this? This monkey is my little brother. Back then, we killed the Sacred Prince together." Longma boasted shamelessly to the Golden Lion Saint and the Green Luan.
The group rolled their eyes and looked at him in disdain.
The Sacred Prince was even more elegant than before. His eyes were fiery and his hair was brilliant. His essence, energy, and spirit were burning like flames.
"Weng!"
He immediately gave Ye Fan a fierce and domineering palm. The entire Graveyard of Deities and Demons began to tremble. The sky collapsed and the earth cracked!
Everyone's expressions changed. This palm was too ferocious. How could ordinary people withstand it? Blood energy surged like a sea.
When Ye Fan saw this, he calmly brandished his fist. The two collided, creating a rumbling sound. It was terrifying beyond compare.
"Not bad, the rumors were true after all. You killed all the supreme experts of this starry sky alone!" The Sacred Prince laughed heartily. He stopped his attacks and met everyone.
It turned out that as soon as he descended on this ancient star, he heard about Ye Fan's massacre and the massacre of the Graveyard of Deities and Demons. He rushed over immediately in fear that something unexpected would happen to them.
"Jiu jiu …" The little guy walked up and squeezed into the crowd. He rubbed his head against the Sacred Prince's large hand.
"This is … the divine egg of the Lightning Phoenix from back then?!" The monkey was also shocked.
Everyone felt as if this was a bit unreal. They naturally had to celebrate a bit as they walked out of the Divine Demon Ridge together.
After so many years, many Great Sage knocked on their doors and the Divine Elder attacked with the killing diagram. They had long opened up a safe path to enter and exit this dangerous land.
"Brother Monkey, why did you come?" Pang Bo asked.
"I wandered through the starry sky for a few decades. I always heard a few rumors about emperor coffins and ancient life trees. I followed them all the way and crossed many ancient realms before finally arriving here," said the Sacred Prince.
That year, the Sacred Prince entered his father's burial ground under the Victorious Fighting Buddha's guidance, which was also the Sacred Ape Bloodline's ancestral mountain. From there, he found the starry sky realm gate and directly returned to their ancestral planet.
"Brother Monkey, has that bastard Duan De woken up yet? Be careful and don't let him discover the old Sacred Emperor's coffin, "Longma said with a mischievous smile.
"Go!"
The Sacred Prince returned to the ancestral planet and discovered that it was desolate without a single clansman. This bloodline didn't have many people in the ancestral planet at its peak, and now, it was even more extinct.
He found the realm gate there and wandered through various ancient realms. He kept on roaming and sharpening himself, killing his way through an unrivalled path.
"Right, are you really Brother Monkey? Don't tell me you're that Six Eared Macaque?" As they walked, Pang Bo suddenly asked.
Everyone was shocked, but they soon felt relieved. The monkey had told them many secrets of Big Dipper, and that Six Eared Macaque definitely didn't know about it.
"You said that there's a divine ape similar to me?" The Sacred Prince's eyes widened.
"This monkey is not simple. We must be careful," Ye Fan said.
"I've encountered everything in the starry sky all these years. I'm not afraid of him!" the monkey said and recounted many of his experiences.
In particular, he mentioned that he once encountered a strange green ox that insisted on becoming sworn brothers with him. The ox was called Angel Ox.
"That ox of mine!" Ye Fan was shocked. He had seen Angel Ox's mark in the Ziwei Ancient Star Region.
"How did you know?" The Sacred Prince was surprised.
"Where did they go? Did you see me?" Pang Bo asked. He had just seen Laozi's previous incarnation under the Bodhi tree, and he had also heard about Angel Ox's whereabouts from the monkey.
"Angel Ox invited me to go with him. He said he wanted to go to an extremely important ancient land, but I refused," the Sacred Prince replied.
"Why did you refuse?!" Everyone was both regretful and excited because they knew that Laozi's identity was too extraordinary. The ancient land he was looking for was definitely not ordinary.
"It's someone else's mount. If I go with it, wouldn't I be looking for trouble? I'll be restricted by someone else." The Sacred Prince rolled his eyes.
