The night was so peaceful and beautiful. Meng Qi was still kneeling behind the table as if nothing had changed. However, he was certain that Ox-Head, Horse-Face, and Magistrate Cui had appeared before him after practicing the Heavenly Golden Scripture and the Eight Nine Mysteries to the current realm.
The end of the era was marked by the complete destruction of the Heavenly Court and the Nine Levels of Heaven. One of the foundations of the Heavenly Court was the Investiture of the Gods. In other words, obtaining the Investiture of the Gods and establishing the Heavenly Court might be the key to successfully survive the Final Trial or take the initiative. Correspondingly, unifying the world after death, establishing the real Hell, and perfecting the heaven and earth might also be a very important part.
This could be vaguely seen from many myths, legends, and ancient records. Mengqi was ignorant in the past, but now he was enlightened after encountering the Investiture of the Gods and Hell.
Previously, he said to the evil ghost who had become Uncle Fu, "There is the Celestial World above, and the Nine Serenities below. Ghosts and demons coexist, and the Acheron is connected. There is no Hell." These were words from the bottom of his heart. However, when everything calmed down and he thought about it carefully, he was shocked to find that these words were wrong. Indeed, there was no real Hell. However, the world had long been talking about the Underworld, Judge Yama, and the Emperor of East Mountain. There was also Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's vow not to become a Buddha until hell is empty!
Where did the Underworld and hell come from?
Buddhism had 18 levels of hell, and Taoism had the Underworld governed by the Emperor of East Mountain. Such myths and legends were already deeply rooted in people's hearts, not to mention the Pure Land of Bliss and the Void Hometown that also emphasized the world after death!
"Looks like this is a battle between Buddhism, Taoism, the Heavenly Court, and the miscellaneous forces over the matter of the real Nether World …" Meng Qi nodded slightly. He had seen through the mythical story on the surface and seen the actual essence.
In that case, the matter of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven being imprisoned in the Underworld for no reason, causing havoc in the Underworld, and writing off the Thin Book of Life and Death was probably not as simple as it seemed on the surface. It most likely involved the game between Buddhism and the Heavenly Court on the matter of the Underworld and Hell. Sun Wukong taking advantage of the Celestial Emperor's injury to cause havoc in the Heavenly Court, did it mean that there was also a big shot from the Nirvana Realm behind it?
Perhaps the Celestial Ruler wasn't unable to take down the Great Sage, Heaven's Equal. In fact, he didn't even make a move. Perhaps he was afraid of the mastermind behind the scenes and directly invited the Gautama Buddha, who had yet to attain Dao, to suppress him. Perhaps this was to show that he was forced to join the Pure Land of Saha's Spirited Mountain lineage?
The more he thought about it, the more Mengqi felt the intensity of the struggle back then. The unimaginable things on the surface were all the manifestations of a chess game behind the scenes. The Great Sage, Heaven's Equal, was rebellious and arrogant. Perhaps it was because of this that he was treated as an easy chess piece to be manipulated. It was not until he experienced the suppression of the Five Fingers Mountain and the Journey to the West that he realized the truth of the past and planted the seed to betray Spirited Mountain?
Phew, Mengqi heaved a sigh of relief. The means of the bigwigs were indeed extraordinary. There was no smoke or fire in the battle. If the truth was not revealed or something similar happened, perhaps one would remain ignorant for the rest of his life as a chess piece.
"Hey, what about the Wang Family's ancestor taking pity on the scattered spirits in the List of Deification for not having a home to return to and becoming a wandering ghost, so he refined the Real Spirit Map of Ghosts and Deities? What about the mysterious disappearance of the map and its sudden appearance only recently? The Grand Wang Trickster is indeed a model example of someone who can lie even when telling the truth. Isn't this just because the Wang Family's ancestor saw the secrets of heaven and wanted to take advantage of the chaos caused by the fall of the Heavenly Court to establish a real Nether World? He wanted to wade into the muddy water of the battle between the Nirvana Realm individuals and take advantage of it. Unfortunately, there was a difference in strength and there was also a mastermind behind the scenes. Thus, the fruits of his labor were taken by someone else," Mengqi whispered in his heart and finally figured out the general truth.
Of course, this was different from the Heavenly Way Monster. The Heavenly Way Monster was probably the reason why the Wang Family's ancestor dared to meddle in this muddy water. It was just that he did not expect, or he only predicted before he passed away, that the Heavenly Way Monster was the source of the Wang Family's disaster!
Mengqi closed his eyes and deduced the various details in his heart.
Who was the Great Emperor who took away the Real Spirit Map of Ghosts and Deities and quietly established the Nether World?
Moreover, to be able to take away the map from the hands of the Wang Family's ancestor who was at least legendary at that time and had almost no loopholes in his calculations, only a few of the ancient powerhouses could do it!
Zhenwu Great Emperor, one of the top few under the Nirvana Realm individuals? No, when the Heavenly Court fell, he had already disappeared for many years and jumped into the origin of life and death. It was impossible for him to come out so quickly, right?
If the incident happened in the Middle Ages, and there was a term like the origin of life and death that was obviously related to the Way of Life and Death, Mengqi really suspected that the so-called Great Emperor of the Nether World was Zhenwu Great Emperor. He comprehended the magic of life and death and ascended to or was about to reach the Nirvana Realm. He understood that the opportunity of the Final Trial was to establish the real Nether World, so he hid behind the scenes and quietly made a move. Of course, if Zhenwu really ascended to the Nirvana Realm and left the origin of life and death in the Middle Ages, he could also go back to the past and snatch the Real Spirit Map of Ghosts and Deities and change history. However, this would cause conflict with other Nirvana Realm individuals and affect their plans. Therefore, this possibility was very small.
The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who presided over the affairs of Hell in Buddhism? He was one of the four Bodhisattvas, an absolute creation. The key to ascending to the Nirvana Realm was in Hell. It was reasonable for him to find out that the Wang Family's ancestor was involved, but could his realm and strength really surpass the Wang Family's ancestor at that time? Even if it was a creation and a legend, the Wang Family still had the Heavenly Way Monster. More importantly, the Wang Family's ancestor created the Arithmetical Classic and was good at deduction. How could he not guard against the obvious enemy of the Nether World?
Mengqi did not know much about the ancient times. After thinking for a long time, he still could not figure out who it was. The only thing he could be sure of was that the Great Emperor of the Nether World's martial arts or Buddhism Dharma and Taoism were inclined towards the Dream World. Therefore, without awakening and with only a little power, he was able to pull himself into the Dream World without anyone knowing.
And his Nether World should also be built in the Dream World!
The power of the gods on the List of Deification came from the original remnant and conferred deity position. The strongest one could not exceed the rank of the List of Deification itself. It was the same for the Real Spirit Map of Ghosts and Deities. According to its rank, there were many Yama of the Divine Immortal Level in the Nether World. Other than the mysterious Great Emperor, there was at most one Legendary Level or even none. Even if there was one, it would only be a legend in the Nether World.
"You want to leave after giving me a warning? Do you really regard the Principles of Karma as nothing? " Mengqi chuckled and suddenly opened his eyes. The Dao Yi Glaze Lamp that could not be described with color suddenly appeared. It emitted a black and white flowing brilliance that was scattered layer by layer. It was like the birth of karma, illuminating all the illusions and connections.
He held the hilt of the Invincible Saber with his right hand and said in a low voice,
"It's impolite not to reciprocate!"
…
A misty heaven and earth seemed to not exist in the chaos that contained all things.
There was a blood-brown river in the core, towering stone bridges, flowers that could forget one's worries, and many dark black grand halls.
One of the grand halls had the words "Reincarnation Hall" written on it. There were six bridges in front of the door. It was solemn and mysterious. A man in a black imperial robe was sitting in the hall. His facial features were thin and his long beard reached his chest. His face was pale and his eyes were dark without a trace of white. On the table in front of him was a book that was intertwined with black and white. Below him stood Judge Cui, Ox-Head, and Horse-Face.
"Su Meng is very powerful. An Earth Immortal is comparable to a Divine Immortal. We are not his match. Please use the Book of Life and Death to deal with him, Your Majesty," Judge Cui pleaded.
The Chakra King said solemnly, "Go and invite the rulers of the halls to discuss."
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes lit up. He saw purple lightning soaring into the sky, baring its fangs and claws. A long saber flew out of the void, crossed the dreamland and slashed down. It was accompanied by a cold snort.
"It's impolite not to reciprocate!"
The voice was deafening. The Chakra King's eyes narrowed and he was shocked.
Su Meng actually found his way here?
He actually found his way here!
He could actually attack from a distance like the legends!
