The Soaring Cloud Bridge was eight miles wide. It was a natural moat for ordinary people. However, as long as one reached the Exterior realm and could fly, it would be meaningless. Not to mention that those who had entered the Spirited Mountain were all top masters below the Legendary realm. Naturally, it was not a big deal to them and they could easily leap over it.
Mengqi was at the back. He quietly pushed his Cloud Crown and crossed the Cloud Crossing without revealing himself, officially entering Spirited Mountain.
When their figures were covered by the dark void, cracks, and howling winds, the glaze beside the Cloud Crossing flashed, outlining the figure of a monk in a spotless frock. It was the incarnation Tathagatagarbha that Mengqi had created using the direct knowledge of Yi Qi Turning San Qing.
The monk Zhen Ding looked more peaceful than before. His shoes and socks were free of dust, and his eyes were hidden with glaze, making him look more like a Buddha that had descended.
In the Old Universe, Mengqi had obtained three relics from the Anti-Buddhist Sect that contained the inheritance of the Gist of Trueness of the Buddha's Palm. They were the third move, Smile of a Flower, the sixth move, Pure Land in the Palm, and the seventh move, Deliver All Beings from Suffering. They were all left by the Devil Buddha, making this incarnation of the Buddha much more complete and improved.
As for the corresponding Reversed Buddha's Palm, Dance of Demons, Falling Together of Heaven and Earth, and Genocide, Mengqi only used them as references. He had never practiced them because he knew his enemy well.
Tathagatagarbha walked down the Cloud Crossing with lotuses blooming at every step.
The river rolled and no end was known.
…
The void cracked, the divine wind blew, and the black fog filled the air. Terrible roars came from near and far, making Spirited Mountain look like the hell of the Nine Serenities. It was difficult for ordinary people to walk.
However, regardless of whether it was Mengqi, Qingqiu, Taili, or Glow, Raka, and No Thoughts, they were all immortals. They might not be injured even if they hit the crack of the void directly. It was really like walking on flat ground along the way. Soon, they went deep into the Spirited Mountain and passed by many dilapidated temples.
Suddenly, a golden Buddha bead pierced through the air and hit the demon fairies. It was like a small star surrounded by black gas. It was in a perfect balance of purity and filth. Once it was broken by an external object, it would explode violently. It was like a common Celestial Heavenly Weapon being activated to the extreme, destroying everything in its vicinity.
Mengqi, who was lagging behind, watched coldly from the sidelines as he weighed the strength of the strongest Yao Gods.
Seeing that the Buddha beads were about to reach her, the Phoenix Demonic God Glow snorted. The illusory Wings of Merit around her spread out and flew upwards, forming a thirty-three-level exquisite pagoda. It was golden in color and indestructible. Streaks of yellow hung down and turned into a coiling True Dragon.
Puff!
The Buddhist beads hit the pagoda and caused a ripple, but the pagoda did not budge at all. The resulting explosion was engulfed by the yellow dragons and did not cause any damage.
Blessed with Merit, no evil can invade!
With the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Pagoda manifested from the Path of Merit, Glow took a step forward and came to the dilapidated temple at the side. There was a Golden Bodhisattva surrounded by greyish-white deathly aura and filthy black fog. Its compassionate face had a ferocious expression, and there were only a few Buddha beads left in its hand that had an aura stronger than its own.
Glow opened her right hand as if she was spreading her wings. Her five fingers were filled with invisible flames, and she slammed her palm down on the Bodhisattva's hand that was blocking.
The flames were difficult to extinguish and quickly burned the Bodhisattva zombie into transparent glass.
The glaze collapsed, and golden light burst forth, forming a translucent relic.
Glow sucked in the air and kept the sarira and the remaining Buddhist beads. She said without turning her head,
"Let's go!"
Throughout the entire process, she did not stop her footsteps. It was as if she was just moving forward and casually killing a fly.
"As expected of a phoenix that is only one step away from the Legendary realm," Mengqi nodded slightly and played the part of a competent bystander, but strange thoughts were running through his mind.
At this time, he should take out the Myriad World Talisman and complete a live broadcast as a streamer. The name would be "Adventure with the Primitive Emperor" or "Me and the Demon God Venturing into the Spirited Mountain". He believed it would be very popular.
The only problem was that the Spirited Mountain was isolated from the outside world and there was no way to transmit information through karma, so he could only think about it …
Along the mountain road, many Arhat and Bodhisattva zombies were destroyed by Glow and burned into relics.
Just as they were about to turn around a mountain peak, a rotting goat surrounded by deathly aura suddenly pounced out from the darkness of the dirty fog. It had terrifying strength and was full of murderous aura, like an evil god from the Nine Serenities.
This was a powerful demon god that attacked the Spirited Mountain. It was infected by the deathly aura of the Nine Serenities and seemed to have regained some intelligence. It was very terrifying.
The Kirin Demon God Raka glanced at the goat indifferently. Five-colored divine radiance burst forth from his body and condensed into a simple and unadorned token. With luck, he commanded the heaven and earth. Even though they were very close, the rotting demon god could not hit him, as if there was an irreparable distance between them.
Then, two beams of pure white light shot out from Raka's eyes.
As the light shone, the murderous aura dissipated and the filth faded. The goat's limbs disintegrated and turned into a pile of blood.
"As expected of a divine beast of luck. The Evil Destroying Light is also quite extraordinary," Mengqi praised in his heart. His spectating attitude was very strong.
The team did not stop and continued to move forward. Seeing that Glow and Raka were in the limelight, No Thoughts, who was unwilling to be at a disadvantage, sped up and took the lead. The Arhats, Bodhisattvas, Demon Gods, Demon Kings, and zombies that they met were either smashed into powder or torn into two and thrown into the void crack. It was really like entering an uninhabited land and was invincible.
Such a team naturally progressed very quickly. Not long after, they crossed the mountainside and went beyond the area where Mengqi and the rest encountered Maha Kasyapa and Manjushri.
At this moment, the door of the Buddhist temple that was left with only half of its body opened and a golden figure that filled the sky and earth walked out.
"He" looked benevolent and had huge earlobes that fell onto his shoulders. The golden body that was invaded by greyish-white and pitch-black emitted beams of five-colored glazed light. In every beam of light, there were golden lotuses floating, flowers blooming and withering, pure lands being born and destroyed, as if countless universes were surrounding this figure.
This was the remains of a 'Buddha'!
Mengqi squinted his eyes slightly. Shouldn't the Buddhas of Spirited Mountain form the Thousand Buddha Formation and be on the peak without anyone controlling them?
This Golden Body of Buddha actually left the Thousand Buddha Formation and came to the mountainside!
Could it be that the Devil Buddha could reveal a trace of power to control it, or was it secretly controlled by other mighty people?
Or could it be that after Sha Wujing carried out that mysterious corpse, there was a subtle change in Spirited Mountain and the remains of the Golden Bodies of Buddha that were previously trapped in the formation were increasingly infected by the death intent of the Nine Serenities and gradually showed signs of gaining sentience again?
Regardless of which possibility it was, the road ahead would not be smooth sailing!
As expected, Qingqiu was looking for trouble by asking me to join them … Mengqi criticized himself silently.
Although the few demon gods were arrogant, they were not blind and ignorant. Once they saw the remains of the Buddha, their expressions changed slightly and they thought of many things.
Taili took a step forward and the five colors of red, green, yellow, white, and black flowed behind him and condensed into a beam. It suddenly sprinkled down and directly swept the Golden Body of Buddha in.
The five rays of light shook and rippled continuously. Taili seemed to be unable to control it for too long. At this moment, No Thoughts nodded and opened his mouth.
The five-colored holy light shook and the Golden Body of Buddha flew out. The mouth of the Kunpeng Demonic Deity suddenly widened. His upper lip touched the sky and his lower lip touched the ground as he swallowed the remains.
His abdomen squirmed and struggled intensely, but it quickly calmed down. No Thoughts chuckled and said, "Tastes good."
Actually, you're not the Kunpeng Demonic Deity, but the Taotie Demonic Deity, right … The corner of Mengqi's mouth twitched.
"We have to be more careful from now on," Qingqiu said solemnly.
Although Glow, Raka, and No Thoughts nodded, they were full of confidence.
Following that, they began to encounter many remains that were obviously stronger than the initial ones. However, the four demonic deities each displayed their own supernatural powers and were unstoppable. Their speed only slowed down slightly.
On the other hand, Mengqi had a panoramic view of the battle situation and gradually came to a conclusion.
Compared to Qingqiu's cultivation of the Five Virtues through martial arts, Glow, who relies on her bloodline, has yet to reach the level of the Five Virtues. Her Holy Virtue and Yin Virtue are obviously weaker. Only Merit, Morality, and Blessings are compatible with her realm. Could it be that she has three Virtues of Celestial Being, four Virtues of Legend, and five Virtues of Creation …
Raka is good at eliminating evil and is the embodiment of fate. Fighting with him would be in a situation where heaven and earth cannot tolerate it and fate despises it. Luckily, I can control fate to a small extent …
No Thoughts' physical strength is extremely strong, comparable to my current Eight Nine Mysteries, and has the ability to swallow everything …
Taili's Five-colored Holy Light has improved again. It can already combine the five colors, encompass all matter, and drop everything …
The team's speed slowed down, but they quickly crossed the mountainside. The mountain path in front collapsed and a cliff appeared. It seemed that there had been a fierce battle recently.
Mengqi's heart skipped a beat. Then, he saw Raka stop and look towards the other side of the cliff as if he had sensed something. There was a huge dark golden figure sitting cross-legged there. He looked like an old man with two extremely long eyebrows that extended out of his face. There were no gaps in the void around him and udumbara flowers clustered around him. When he saw the flowers, they bloomed. One universe was a pure land, but when he didn't look, the flowers and his heart were silent.
The dark golden figure cupped his fists with a faint smile on his lips. The impermanence laughs at me, and I laugh at the impermanence.
What was different from the remains that he had seen previously was that this golden body did not have any greyness or death intent.
Mengqi closed his eyes and let out a long sigh in his heart.
"Maha Kasyapa …"
Compared to the last time they fought, he seemed to have a little bit of spiritual intelligence, and his level of terror rose sharply!
"He's not easy to deal with. Let's work together," the Kunpeng Demonic Deity who had been acting arrogant said solemnly.
At this moment, a roar came from the depths of the darkness at the bottom of the cliff. The entire Spirited Mountain trembled. Remains of Arhats and Bodhisattvas, corpses of demonic deities and demonic kings surged over and plunged into it, forming a seemingly solid blood yellow river that connected the sky and flowed endlessly. Glow, Raka, and Taili's expressions changed and they looked very solemn.
The corpses at the bottom of the cliff matched well with the current Spirited Mountain. It was as if the ruler of this place was more difficult to deal with than Maha Kasyapa!
Looking at their solemnity, Mengqi heaved a sigh of relief instead. Although there were some changes to Acheron's skeleton, his imprint was still there!
