"Ananda!"
Countless resentful voices rose one after another, accompanied by the roar of the Great Sage, making the dark and terrifying Spirited Mountain seem even more bizarre.
Mengqi opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Zhiwei and the others. He saw the same doubts in their eyes.
What role did Ananda play in the battle of Spirited Mountain in the past? Why did he leave behind so much resentment and hatred?
Mengqi had a guess. Could it be that the escape of the Demonic Tribe's army was due to Ananda? From then on, love and hatred were inseparable. One pursued the Demonic Tribe to the ends of the earth and refused to let it go, leaving a mark of killing those who were ungrateful and ungrateful. The other entered the world of Samsara, but the mark gradually weakened and finally fell into the Devil's Path?
"Since the Demonic Tribe dared to attack Spirited Mountain and the Whirling Pure Land, it must have made a breakthrough, crossed the sea of bitterness, reached the Nirvana Realm, and became a real big shot. Ananda had not practiced the Buddha's Palm in reverse at that time and was only a Great Arhat of the Legendary Level. How could he make the Demonic Tribe leave Spirited Mountain alone?" Jiang Zhiwei raised her doubts.
Zhao Heng pondered for a while and said, "The Gautama Buddha entered the Perishing Realm because he achieved the Fruit of Tao and transcended. Maybe he left something behind, which was used by Ananda to trick the Demonic Tribe. But the Demonic Tribe should not have neglected this aspect, and the possibility of falling into the trap is very low …"
He then sighed, "There were only a few survivors in the battle of Spirited Mountain. It is hard to figure out what exactly happened and what plans both sides had. We need to explore it slowly."
An idea suddenly occurred to Mengqi. He looked at Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu and thought of a possibility. Did Ananda make use of the relationship between him and the Demonic Tribe Feng Xi to make her fall into the trap and turn against him?
This could be closer to the subsequent development!
Although Mengqi did not clearly describe the relationship between Ananda and the Demonic Tribe to Jiang Zhiwei and Ruan Yushu, it was not difficult to guess it after so many things, especially after knowing the existence of "Don't enter this door" and being told by Immortal Yunhe that the Demonic Tribe was chasing after Ananda.
At this time, Ruan Yushu frowned and made another guess, "Ananda and Maha Kasyapa are the most outstanding disciples of the Ten Disciples of the Gautama Buddha. They are the main successors of the Whirling Pure Land. Their strength should not be simply measured by the level of the Great Arhat."
The Great Arhat was equivalent to the Maha Bodhisattva. Those who were close to the Buddha were in the Legendary Realm. Before, Mengqi and Jiang Zhiwei had always treated Ananda and Maha Kasyapa like this.
However, the most outstanding ones among the Maha Bodhisattva, such as Ksitigarbha and Guanyin, could have achieved the Buddhahood long ago. It was only because their Great Wish had not been fulfilled that they did not take that step. However, their strength and realm were not at the level of the Buddha. They were stronger than most of the Buddhas and surpassed the Legendary Realm.
If Ksitigarbha and Guanyin could do so, why couldn't Ananda and Maha Kasyapa?
The Buddhahood's Buddhahood was roughly equal to the realm of cultivation, but it was not strictly equal to the realm. There were always exceptions. Due to various reasons, the realm was high while the Buddhahood's Buddhahood's Buddhahood was low.
"That makes sense." Jiang Zhiwei gently nodded and said thoughtfully, "Perhaps after Ananda's Nine Strokes of The Buddha's Palm, he had broken through the Legendary Realm and stepped into the final Sea of Sufferings. He had achieved the Creation Realm. Even if he could not be compared to Zhenwu and Qing Emperor, he was not much different from Ksitigarbha and Guanyin. However, due to other reasons, he did not achieve the Buddhahood's Fruit. For example, he had an obsession in his heart?"
"In this way, the gap between him and the Demonic Sage is much smaller than expected."
After the Legendary Realm, one could leave a mark in all the universes and Universal Fragments. As more universes were born, the mark would naturally be produced in them. This was the completion of the Legendary Realm. The next step was to explore the past, peep into the future, and truly feel the existence of the River of Time and the scouring of oneself. This was considered to have stepped into a new realm and reached a higher level. This was called the Creation Realm. Before the breakthrough, the Fire Emperor, the Metal Emperor, and the Qing Emperor and the Black Emperor were at the completion of the Creation Realm.
Of course, many cultivators felt that this was the last stage of the Sea of Sufferings. Once they passed it, they would be able to reach the Nirvana Realm. Therefore, they often referred to the Sea of Sufferings as the Creation Realm.
This was an inaccurate common name because once a person was born, he would be in the Sea of Sufferings.
Mengqi's green robe moved along with the howling wind of Spirited Mountain. He looked calm and his white hair swayed gently, "If Ananda was in the Creation Realm, he wouldn't have to use the Fruits of Karma to kill the Sage of Arithmetic, especially when he didn't bring the Ancient Book with him."
He had told Jiang Zhiwei about this in private. At this time, he did not hide it from Ruan Yushu and Zhao Heng.
Jiang Zhiwei pondered for a while and said, "With each reincarnation, the mark would definitely become weaker and weaker. Ananda had an obsession in his heart that he couldn't let go of. Therefore, his strength would most likely decrease in every reincarnation. Moreover, the death of the Conqueror might have something to do with him. The self-explosion before his death would not have made him feel good. Based on this, Ananda's realm might still be Legendary, but his strength might not be. He could only use the Fruits of Karma to kill the Sage of Arithmetic."
"When he practiced the Buddha's Palm in reverse and turned his obsession into Demonic Will, everything went smoothly. Then, he quickly regained his strength at his peak. Then, he left Ananda's pure land and made another breakthrough."
She made a reasonable deduction.
"Maybe this is the truth …" Mengqi's tone was a little strange. He looked around and said in a low voice, "Let's go. Let's go deep into Spirited Mountain."
Jiang Zhiwei saw that he was holding a long blade in his left hand and his green robe was fluttering. He did not try to be concise when he spoke. Although he was still deep and experienced, he did not have the feeling of being depressed and dead. It was as if he had come back to life. She thought of something and quickly said, "Let's go all out in one go. We will deal with the enemies later."
She had heard from Wang Siyuan that Meng Qi had been working hard for ten years to sharpen his blade.
Meng Qi replied telepathically, "It doesn't matter. I have to warm up before I use my blade and slowly condense my momentum. Just like a volcano eruption or an earthquake, there will more or less be some signs. Only then will there be a loud eruption."
Seeing that Mengqi had directly answered her question, Jiang Zhiwei's lips curled up. She felt quite happy.
Outside the half-collapsed Buddhist temple, countless pitch-black cracks appeared in the gloomy void. They were like the giant mouths of monsters, waiting to devour someone.
They also isolated small paths leading to the top of Spirited Mountain. Sometimes, the wind blew and tore the flesh. If a mortal was here, his body would have been torn apart and his Primordial Spirit would have been melted. If he really arrived at the battlefield, he might encounter the Samadhi Heavenly Wind.
Thunder appeared and disappeared in the distance. The Milky Way flickered. From time to time, a bolt of lightning penetrated and illuminated their sight. Mengqi, Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu, and Zhao Heng walked forward slowly and cautiously.
Roar!
The road was winding and seemed to be endless. Countless creepy sounds came from the distance. When they tried to sense it, their spirits would be swallowed by the void cracks. It was quite painful. Occasionally, they could see a half-destroyed Buddhist temple, a dark golden Luohan shrouded in gray and white, and a Dharmakaya of a tiger or leopard as huge as a hill.
Mengqi even saw a Golden Body of Bodhisattva hidden in the darkness. Its body was full of cracks with gray liquid flowing out. Its face was unusually hollow. If not for the fact that they were not on the same road and had to go around the cracks, there might have been a fierce battle. After death, a Bodhisattva turned into a zombie, whose strength was infinitely close to that of a Dharmakaya!
After a while, a huge shadow suddenly appeared at the entrance of the mountain. Mengqi used his Third Eye and saw a familiar person, no, a familiar demon.
"Snake Dang!" Jiang Zhiwei also sensed it with her Heaven-Reaching Sword Heart.
This was an enormous snake that coiled there like a small mountain. Its body was covered in a layer of grayish-white feathers, and rotten wounds could be seen everywhere. Smelly yellow pus flowed out, and the deathly aura and demonic aura were so dense that they formed a grayish-black haze.
When they first entered Spirited Mountain, Mengqi and the others encountered it. They only survived because of Luo Shengyi's sacrifice. Later, when they entered the Journey to the West, they met it again in the fragment of the Celestial Court. At that time, it relied on Luo Shengyi's remnant soul to regain its intelligence and almost became a King of the Dead.
Hiss!
Snake Dang sensed that someone was approaching. It raised its long neck and stared coldly at Mengqi and the others with its scarlet eyes. One was the shadow of a white-haired monster, and the other was the face of Luo Shengyi. It was exactly the same as before.
At that time, Mengqi and the others could escape from it. But today, the gap between them had been reversed, or even widened.
Mengqi sighed and looked at Snake Dang's eyes with pity and emotion. The heartbeat in the healed wounds suddenly became clearer.
Thump, thump, thump, thump. Snake Dang's rotten heart was beating, and the Primordial Spirit's obsession followed. The three obsessions beat separately.
For a moment, it was stunned and struggling.
Jiang Zhiwei also sighed and pulled out her long sword. The sword light turned into a long rainbow and slashed at Snake Dang with a soul-stirring brilliance.
Under the sword light, Snake Dang's body suddenly became illusory, and the Death Qi and Demon Aura became transparent. Three Primordial Spirit's obsession directly appeared.
Cutting Tao to See Me!
As the sword light fell, the three Primordial Spirit's obsession collapsed. Luo Shengyi died the last, and his obsession was the strongest. Naturally, he was the first to rush out of the snake's body.
He floated in the air, and his remnant soul gradually dissipated. Looking at Mengqi, Jiang Zhiwei, and Ruan Yushu, he sighed and said, "Fate really makes fools of people."
Tinkle, tinkle, tinkle. Ruan Yushu played a melodious zither with strong vitality. Luo Shengyi's remnant soul no longer dissipated, but gradually condensed.
The Dragon-Tortoise Longevity Manual!
Mengqi looked at Luo Shengyi and said, "With the Seal of Samsara, there will be a limited reincarnation between heaven and earth. After this, if I am still alive, I will remind you of your next life, and give you a satisfying revenge."
After learning from Qi Zhengyan that the Six Dao might have the Seal of Samsara, Mengqi deliberately collected relevant information and found that the Seal of Samsara was very mysterious. He could only confirm one thing: with the Seal of Samsara, at least in the first two reincarnations, the three souls would still be the same!
Luo Shengyi laughed and said, "Good! I'll wait for you! "
In the sound of the zither, his body turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the void, leaving only one sentence behind.
"When I went to the shard of the Celestial Court to rob the Essence of the Wood of Creation, it was the one in the depths of Spirited Mountain who ordered me to!"
With these words, Luo Shengyi disappeared into the depths of the mysterious void. He did not ask how Mengqi could find his reincarnated self.
After all, he was not the one who personally sent Luo Shengyi to reincarnation with the Seal of Samsara.
"The one in the depths of Spirited Mountain …" Mengqi whispered to himself.
After Luo Shengyi disappeared, Snake Dang and the white-haired monster were released at the same time. They flew into the air and murmured in confusion and fear,
"They're all dead, all dead …"
They seemed to have seen the past that they could not bear to look back on.
