"Okay," the cold and ethereal female voice answered concisely.
The dream returned to peace, and the bright moon gradually became illusory. The old eunuch's figure disappeared along with the world like a bubble.
…
Inside the Nine Serenities, on the top of the dark mountain, Mengqi sat cross-legged with both hands in front of him. One hand was emitting purple lightning, and the other was floating with pale gold. He recalled what Gu Xiaosang had said before.
"In the past, the Golden Emperor used me as a beacon to give me his experience and insight. The more I know, the deeper I can plan. However, there is a node limit. Since I was born in my mother's womb, I don't know his memories. If I try to grasp his current situation and arrangements, it will be easy to be led into a trap."
"However, I was able to maintain my own spirituality and have independent consciousness. There must be a secret trick by a big shot. I'm not too sure who it is. It could be the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi or the Heavenly Lord Lingbao. He let me see a lot of clear futures and know a lot of secrets that even the Ajati Matriarch doesn't know. This is the root of our plan and where the chance of survival lies."
"At first glance, Amitabha belongs to the opposing camp and is in a stable alliance with the Ajati Matriarch. He is not someone to be roped in. However, if you think about it carefully, you will come to an unexpected conclusion. The Buddhist Kingdom on Earth and the Void Hometown are fundamentally at odds. In the future, there will be a clear winner. With Maitreya's enlightenment, which is enough to turn the situation around, Amitabha and the Ajati Matriarch can be said to be united on the surface but divided on the inside. It's not impossible to take drastic measures to directly break the opposing camp and pave the way for my husband to reach the Nirvana Realm."
"Heh, you don't have to listen to what I said. This is the idea we used to confuse the Golden Emperor and Amitabha. The real situation is that Amitabha will never allow you to reach the Nirvana Realm. He is even more determined than the Golden Emperor and the ancient Buddha. This is a battle of the Great Path, and there is no room for compromise!"
"The Ajati Matriarch's main target is me, while the ancient Buddha and my husband are three corpses. It's not impossible to resolve the enmity between them."
"Ancients like them who have already formed the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit have only one goal, and that is to complete the Dao Fruit in order to completely transcend. Moreover, they are limited by the number of eras, and this is the Final Calamity. It's really a situation where only one of us can exist."
"With the intention to indulge, the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, Amitabha, and the rest of the Ancients all observed the process of the Heavenly Lord's transcendence. They roughly understood the crux of it and the possible remaining problems of the Heavenly Lord's path in order to find a more suitable and flawless method for themselves. Hence, there was the fall of the Heavenly Emperor, the end of the Archean era, and the abnormality of the Fu Emperor. From this era onwards, they began to hide behind the scenes, experimenting with their own paths. In this process, there was no lack of collisions. Supporting the Celestial Ruler, the prosperity of the Shang Dynasty, the Battle of Deification, and so on were all extensions of this matter. It was a battle for the path, a battle for the Great Way."
"My husband is the product of the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi's second subtraction for emptiness, and you also bear the name of Li Dan. How could Amitabha allow you to ascend to the Nirvana Realm and help his strongest opponent to get closer to and even achieve the Dao Fruit?"
"He controlled the Fu Emperor and had been hiding in the deepest part of the origin of life and death. In the past, Zhenwu suddenly drew his sword and killed the Emperor of Feng Du, causing the three corpses of the ancient Buddha Bodhi to be incomplete, but he didn't intervene at all. Why? Wasn't he just watching the ancient Buddha Bodhi lose its perfection and take a step back from the Dao Fruit? He did that to his allies from countless eras, not to mention you, my husband. "
"As for why Maitreya and his Buddhist Kingdom on Earth are so important to Amitabha, can't my husband guess it? The product of subtraction for emptiness is more similar to the method of the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, and not the path of the Taoist Primogenitor and Buddha. "
"Therefore, on the surface, it seems that we have made a lot of arrangements to collude with Amitabha and take drastic measures, but we don't understand the key point at all. We walked right into the trap and let Amitabha beat us at our own game, so that we can threaten the Golden Emperor and reach a deal on the matter of Maitreya. In fact, this is to confuse them and make them think that we have stopped here, so that we can cover up our real efforts."
"Regarding the mystery of the Dao Fruit, the Golden Emperor doesn't know how much I know, and it's hard for Amitabha to guess if he knows that I know. In short, he appeared in my dream and didn't directly reject my request. This shows that he did beat us at our own game, and also indirectly shows their attitude towards the Nirvana Realm. This gives you hope, so that you have the confidence to try to prove Dao, and also have the courage to leave the Nine Serenities, and use this to completely end this matter."
"Otherwise, if my husband keeps hiding in the Nine Serenities, with two heavenly weapons and the help of Yang Jian and Qisha Daoist, Ninoran Tianzun won't allow the real Nirvana Realm to enter this world. At the crucial moment, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven can still help. Even if the Devil Buddha is released, under the situation where both sides have offset most of their strength, they can at most gain the upper hand, and can't do anything to you, my husband. Both sides will be in a stalemate until the end of the Final Trial, and the era."
"At that time, no one can see the future clearly. There are too many variables, and even the Ancient Ones may not be spared. Therefore, the best way is to lure you out of the Nine Serenities, and end this matter in advance, so that Dipamkara can control the Principles of Karma, and Maitreya can get the Wuji and Kai Tian Seal."
"In this way, we can beat them at their own game. My husband, your preparations in the real world can be bolder and faster. You can strengthen your foundation and accumulate more. This is their tacit consent, and it is also the general trend that I want to create when I invite Amitabha as a guest."
"Of course, the process has to be inconspicuous, too. Otherwise, in order to prevent you from being 'suspicious', husband, they will more or less ask the experts in their sect to interfere and put on a fight. Just like the competition for the green jade box earlier, they probably tested their bottom line."
Mengqi collected his thoughts, and had a deeper understanding of the current situation. He was more confident about the next action.
After completely refining the flesh and blood of the Donghuang Emperor and grasping every bit of the Demonic Peach, his accumulation of the Wuji Seal was deep enough, and he could try to condense the Illusionary Tao Fruit, which was half a Tao Fruit, at any time. He could even cut out a half-formed fruit related to lifespan and time, which could help him go back to the past and experience the future.
There were two main problems for him to reach the Nirvana Realm. One was that he couldn't go back to the real world. The past and future had been transferred to the Nine Serenities, and he lacked attempts to go back to the past and occupy the future. He was like a person who had simulated it hundreds of times but had never gone through the test. He couldn't be compared to the preparation of the Qing Emperor in the past. The second was that the Principles of Karma and Kai Tian Seal were still lacking. If there was a chance to make up for it, there was no need to force it.
Just as he was analyzing himself, his eyes suddenly lit up. A simple and unadorned stone tablet had appeared in front of him, and seven large "Kill" characters were written on it.
The Seven-Kill Tablet!
Looks like Qisha Daoist has made a decision … Mengqi sighed. This gift came at the right time, like having a pillow when he just dozed off.
When he returned to the Middle Ages and left a piece of history, he relied on the aftermath of the Nirvana Realm. However, the Seven-Kill Tablet also had this ability, and it wasn't as obvious as the Invincible Blade and the Emperor's Sword. Although the "self" who experienced that period had been transferred to the Nine Serenities, there were still traces and marks left in the Middle Ages. With the help of the Seven-Kill Tablet and the mystical Principles of Karma, he could also try to send the Supreme Heart Devil back to the Middle Ages in the Nine Serenities to awaken those marks and leave a road sign of the past for reaching the Nirvana Realm in the future!
He used the Invincible Blade to cut off the connection between the mountain and the outside world. His right hand stroked the "kill" tablet, and the increasingly ancient and mysterious Dao Yi Glaze Lamp appeared in his eyes.
The closer it was to the Final Trial, the more chaotic it was. The black and white flowing light shone on the Seven-Kill Tablet quietly, and the thumping heartbeat seemed to come from an illusion.
…
In a restaurant in Luocheng, Mengqi and Ren Qiushui were sitting opposite each other and commenting on the swordsmanship of the world.
Ren Qiushui was silent for a while before saying, "You know so much about swordsmanship and seem to know everything. So which swordsmanship are you cultivating?"
Mengqi chuckled, "Me?"
"I'm cultivating the Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception."
Seven Strokes of Heaven Interception? Ren Qiushui's right hand suddenly clenched tightly.
Just as her psyche fluctuated, a purple light suddenly flashed across Mengqi's eyes, as dazzling as lightning.
