Chapter 1056

With a shake of his sleeves, the blood-yellow water rolled towards the Slough of Maha Kasyapa like an upside-down Milky Way, forcing him to form a mudra with both hands and emit boundless light to defend against it.

Seizing this opportunity, Mengqi took the lead and crossed the cliff in mid-air. He seemed to be extremely fast, but he always managed to avoid the void crack that was like a giant mouth.

Raka, Glow, and the other demonic deities looked at each other and saw each other's surprise and cautiousness. Without saying anything, they followed Mengqi and crossed the cliff, disappearing in a flash at the end of the dark mountain path where the Samadhi Divine Wind whistled before the Slough of Maha Kasyapa could slap Acheron away.

The conveyance light was fast, and the corpses and remains along the way were all absorbed by Acheron, leaving nothing behind. It didn't take long for the group to feel relaxed. Without the creepy feeling of being connected to the Slough of Maha Kasyapa and the blood-yellow river, they had already left them far behind.

Slowing down their footsteps, the demonic deities became wary of the increasingly gloomy surroundings. The closer they were to the peak of Spirited Mountain, the higher the possibility of bumping into the remains of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats. Previously, it was Maha Kasyapa and the evil deity suspected to be the Nine Serenities Acheron. Later, it might be Manjushri, Samantabhadra, Amitabhadra, Amitabhadra, and Buddha of Sandalwood Merit.

More importantly, although these remains were originally dangerous, the demonic deities could deal with them together without fear. However, there were changes in Spirited Mountain now, and the remains had developed a little intelligence. The danger level had risen sharply, and they were equivalent to top-notch celestial beings with Legendary or Creation characteristics, or even better. If they were to fight one on one, the demonic deities might not win. Furthermore, there were more than five or ten similar remains on the peak of Spirited Mountain or on the way to the peak of Spirited Mountain.

Things wouldn't go smoothly after all. After all, it was a move to release the remains of the Great Sage and change the situation of the Myriad Worlds. There would definitely be some existences who would intervene and stop it!

While thinking, Raka looked at Mengqi who was in front of him. His green robe fluttered as he walked on clouds, looking rather like an ancient celestial being. He nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Immortal, for saving me just now."

"Since we're exploring Spirited Mountain together, how can I just sit by and do nothing?" Mengqi replied with a smile.

"May I know how I should I address you, Immortal?" It was only now, seeing the Heaven and Earth in the Sleeve, that the Kunpeng Demonic God, No Thoughts, remembered that he did not know the other party's name.

Taoism cultivators of the Celestial Level were usually addressed as True Lord, just like the corresponding Celestial Lord in the legends. Those who were outstanding in the Creation Realm and the Nirvana Realm were generally addressed as Heavenly Lord. However, this was only a conventional title and did not completely correspond. Some powerhouses would continue to use their original name without making any changes. Therefore, those who were addressed as Heavenly Lord and Celestial Lord by the public must have been extremely powerful for a while. However, those who were addressed as True Lord were not necessarily just Celestial Beings.

Qingqiu, the successor of the Demonic Sage, interrupted, "Master Su Meng of the Jade Mirage Palace of Kunlun Mountain."

"Kunlun Mountain of the Yuxu Palace?" the Phoenix Demonic Deity Glow and the rest glanced at Mengqi with flickering eyes.

A person's reputation was like a tree's shadow. In the ancient times, Kunlun Mountain of the Yuxu Palace was the sacred land of Taoism and its name was known throughout the Myriad Worlds. Even after thousands of years, the three powerful demonic deities had heard of it due to the continuous inheritance brought by the Heavenly Blessing formed by the Sea Calming Pearl. They knew that this was the place of enlightenment of the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, one of the Three Pristines. Who was the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi? He was the most ancient and powerful person of the Nirvana Realm!

To be able to assume the name of Kunlun Mountain of the Yuxu Palace and become the leader, this Su Meng Immortal Su was not simple!

If unrelated people rashly used the name of Kunlun Mountain of the Yuxu Palace, it would be fine if they were weak as it was just a child's game. However, if they had a certain amount of power, they would definitely suffer great karma and die a violent death.

Just the World in the Sleeve that he revealed was worth paying attention to. No wonder Qingqiu wanted to ask for his help … Glow nodded to herself and started to view Mengqi as an opponent on the same level as herself. Just like No Thoughts and Raka, it was difficult to determine the winner and they restrained each other.

Raka, who had always been arrogant and quiet, moved his eyebrows slightly as if he had come to a realization.

So it was the inheritance of Kunlun Mountain of the Yuxu Palace!

No matter where he learned the World in the Sleeve from, it couldn't be equivalent to his own strength. There must be many Yuqing supernatural powers that he had yet to display.

Taili of the Five-colored Holy Light and Su Meng of the World in the Sleeve were teammates that couldn't be careless. If he was not careful, he would be tricked.

The Kunpeng Demonic Deity No Thoughts chuckled, "I thought that with the world of the Journey to the West and the Three Heavens of Helplessness, the demon race would definitely be stronger than the human race. I didn't expect there to be someone like Master Su who isn't inferior to us at all."

Su Meng was indeed extraordinary and worthy of attention. However, he himself wasn't weak either. Who below the Legendary Realm could win?

Both of them were on the same level.

"With the arrival of the Final Trial, ancient inheritances have appeared one after another. The human race naturally won't be inferior," Mengqi smiled, looking modest and open-minded.

As they flew forward and looked around, the Phoenix Demonic Deity Glow suddenly said in a deep voice, "There's a change in the Spirited Mountain, what should we do later?"

She cast her gaze on Mengqi and started to value his opinion.

"If the remains in the Thousand Buddha Formation at the peak have undergone a change like the venerable Kasyapa, we definitely won't be able to force our way in. It's best to split into two teams, one to lure the remains out of the peak, the other to take the opportunity to ascend and keep the Golden Cudgel," Mengqi said confidently.

Taili nodded and said, "Good idea, who's going to lure and who's going to keep?"

Qingqiu glanced at Mengqi and said, "Master Su, Taili Demonic Deity, Glow Demonic Deity, the three of you have the World in the Sleeve, the Five-colored Holy Light, and the Five Virtues respectively. You're the most suitable for luring and not being surrounded. Raka Demonic Deity, No Thoughts Demonic Deity, and I will keep the Golden Cudgel and break the seal."

Glow pondered for a moment and nodded, "Alright!"

Su Meng's strength couldn't be underestimated. As a human, they needed to guard against him ruining the rescue of the remaining Great Sage. It was suitable for him to lure the remains away. Moreover, she and Taili had their own strong points and weren't too afraid of the World in the Sleeve. Teaming up with him would be able to suppress his disloyalty to the extreme.

Qingqiu was still considered vigilant and knew to guard against the human race.

Seeing that Glow had agreed, Taili agreed indifferently. Raka and No Thoughts understood his hidden thoughts and didn't raise any objections.

After rescuing the remaining Great Sage, they wouldn't have to be afraid of any accidents!

Seeing this, Mengqi smiled and said, "That's good too."

With the plan in place, Qingqiu, No Thoughts, and the rest felt relieved and quickened their pace.

When they were far away from this area, the darkness was suddenly filled with a blood-yellow mist. From the darkness, a huge and terrifying corpse slowly walked out. In the darkness, there was pure white flowing with vitality. Its bones pierced into the void and connected everywhere. Figures of different Death Gods floated around it. It was Acheron's skeleton that still had Mengqi's imprint!

He looked at the direction where Qingqiu, Glow, and the rest left and let out a low roar. His voice was close to Mengqi and seemed to be sneering. His eyes were shining with a faint blood-yellow light.

…

Stepping into the back peak of Spirited Mountain, Mengqi seemed to have lost all his senses in an instant. His heart was in a mess, and it took him a while to adapt and figure out the surrounding scene.

The darkness here was comparable to the peak of Spirited Mountain. The water of the Cloud Crossing flowed slowly, and the void crack was huge. Those who entered and exited could tear apart a Dharmakaya.

After flowing along the river for a while, the soil on the shore in front of Mengqi suddenly wriggled and strange corpses crawled out. It was as if the living creatures that were originally born here were affected by the Falling Buddhas and turned into evil spirits.

Some of them had three heads and six arms, some had chaotic faces, and their breath was cold and filthy. They were even stronger than the sloughs of Bodhisattvas. They swarmed over densely, wanting to drag Mengqi into the water and cover up the scene in the distance.

The white-robed monk Mengqi sighed and turned into a compassionate golden Buddha. He stretched out his right hand as if he was giving blessings. Then, a glazed golden light burst out, like a willow branch sprinkling dew, dripping down bit by bit.

As soon as the cold and filthy evil spirits touched this golden light, they disappeared like smoke, as if they had broken free from their shackles. In a short moment, the front was completely cleared.

The Buddha had a great wish to deliver all living beings from suffering!

With his line of sight cleared, Mengqi moved forward. Lotuses bloomed with each step. After a while, the scene in the depths of the darkness came into his eyes.

The Cloud Crossing ended here and turned into the mouth of a spring. Inside it floated a pale golden giant cicada!

Golden cicada? Golden cicada? Tripitaka's mortal body changed bit by bit and finally returned to its original form, revealing the body of the golden cicada? Mengqi's heart was solemn. He used the glaze as his eyes and looked, only to see that the back of the giant cicada had split open, and there was nothing inside!

The Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell?

Mengqi was shocked.

…

Along the way, the corpses and sloughs were all gone. Mengqi and his party quickly approached the peak of Spirited Mountain.

As far as they could see, it was a vast expanse. The Golden Cudgel that pierced through heaven and earth seemed to have appeared in front of them. Flowers bloomed and withered, and thunder appeared and disappeared. Beside it, there was a Five Finger Mountain with colorful Bodhi branches stuck on it. The meaning of Great Peace, Great Freedom, Great Bliss, and Great Wisdom spread out.

Everything was the same as what Mengqi had seen before. There was no change.

However, the surrounding stone forest of golden Buddhas were gone. The sloughs that formed the Thousand Buddha Formation were gone.

Gone!
