"Don't get entangled, pass quickly to avoid any changes." The thoughts of the demon deities were like lightning, flashing and colliding continuously, triggering sparks. In an instant, they had reached an agreement.
Although the corpses at the bottom of the cliff and the Body of Maha Kasyapa in front seemed to have developed a little intelligence, it was obvious that they were still far from normal. If they didn't fight them with their brains and had to fight them head-on, they would be using their strengths to attack their weaknesses. Not to mention that they might not win, it would also take up a lot of time. Now that there was a change in Spirited Mountain and the reason was unknown, the longer it dragged on, the more dangerous it would be and the easier it would be to fail.
Therefore, the five demon deities, including Qingqiu, made a decision without any dispute. They would not get entangled with the Body of Maha Kasyapa and the corpses at the bottom of the cliff. They would mainly distract and confuse them, pass as soon as possible, and shake off the enemies without intelligence.
As for what Mengqi's idea was, other than Qingqiu and Taili glancing at him to make sure that he had no objections, Glow, Raka, and No Thoughts completely ignored the fact that there was such a divine immortal helper.
As soon as the decision was made, the five-colored brilliance of red, green, yellow, white, and black that bloomed like tail feathers behind Taili spilled out at the same time, brushing towards Maha Kasyapa who was sitting with his fists cupped and smiling.
Glow flew out of the Heaven and Earth Exquisite Yellow Pagoda above her head and shrouded the corpse-filled river of yellow blood to temporarily suppress it. Raka and No Thoughts followed closely behind to prevent any changes, while Qingqiu and Meng Qi were at the back.
Once Taili and Glow succeeded, they would quickly pass through the cliff, shake off the enemies, and ascend to the peak!
The five-colored divine light brushed everything, including the Body of Maha Kasyapa. However, when Taili wanted to retract the brilliance of red, green, yellow, white, and black, he seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move the Golden Body of the Great Arhat no matter what.
He was not only heavy on the material, but also on the soul!
Taili's expression changed. With a shake of his body, he had already revealed the true form of the Five Elements Peacock. It was huge and powerful with a majestic aura, trying its best to retract the five-colored divine light.
The divine light was like a fishing net that could cover all fishes. However, when a big shark was caught, the owner of the fishing net might not have the strength to pull the prey up!
At this moment, Kasyapa, who looked hazy because of the five-colored light, sighed softly. He raised his right hand, made a gesture of pinching a flower with his middle finger and thumb, and flicked it.
Flowers bloom brilliantly, but they will eventually wither. Love is stronger than gold, and it is difficult to fight against time. Although the stars in the night sky are bright, there will be a day when they will collapse and be 'extinguished'. They cannot last forever. Everything in the world will inevitably change and head towards ruin. This is what is called impermanence.
Impermanence doesn't last long, everything is empty!
The sense of tranquility filled the air. The dark golden finger of Maha Kasyapa penetrated the divine light of five colors as if there was no obstacle. It pointed at the center of Taili's eyebrows.
Seeing this, Glow's expression changed slightly. She forcefully changed the descent of the pagoda and made it fly out to block Kasyapa's right hand.
The Buddha's light bloomed, and the dark golden finger brushed against the black and yellow pagoda. It passed through as if there was nothing there, as if it was not affected at all!
Just as I have heard, all actualized laws are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, and a shadow!
Swoosh!
As if affected by this touch, the blood-yellow turbid river surged and swept towards Glow, as well as No Thoughts and Raka behind her. Taili tried his best to change and the divine light swayed, but he could not get rid of the dark golden finger that brushed against the center of his eyebrows. Once he was hit, he would definitely die.
Compared to the last time Mengqi entered, the strength that Kasyapa displayed had undergone an earth-shattering change. Spirited Mountain really had some changes!
Glow took a deep breath, and phoenix wings grew out from her back. She moved a distance forward and avoided the sweep of the blood-yellow river. Then, she formed a seal with both hands, and purple light soared in her eyes, forming a purple Ruyi Scepter. It was filled with fortune, and it hung above Taili's head.
The dark golden finger flickered with a faint light, and it looked like it was about to brush against the center of Taili's eyebrows. However, for some reason, it always missed by a little. Taili always managed to avert danger and narrowly avoided it.
He moved in mid-air, and with the blessing of fortune, Taili finally managed to hold on until Kasyapa's power was exhausted.
Roar!
The roar from the bottom of the cliff seemed to come from the bottom of the heart, causing every living being's hidden fear and yearning for death to burst forth. The true spirit trembled, and its movements became sluggish. Meanwhile, the blood-yellow turbid river surged towards the Kunpeng Demonic Deity No Thoughts and the Kirin Demonic Deity Raka.
The river was filled with the intention of death, and one's true spirit would fall upon coming into contact with it, forever becoming a water ghost, unable to escape. It seemed to be the manifestation of the Death Dao between heaven and earth, and it could destroy all vitality.
No Thoughts tried his best to resist, but it was like a clay ox in the sea, and there was no more reaction. Even the Mixed Elements of Water and Wind Formation around him disintegrated inch by inch, and he fell into death!
Seeing that he was about to be engulfed by the Acheron, at the crucial moment, Raka's eyes shot out a light that could destroy evil and hit the blood-yellow river, dispersing part of it and slowing down for a moment. No Thoughts seized this opportunity, and with a clear whistle, he turned into a bird and broke through the void crack with a soaring posture, rushing out of the range of the Acheron.
The waves surged, and the corpses stretched out their hands in an attempt to pull the Kirin Demonic Deity in front of them into the water. Raka's light of destroying evil held on with difficulty and was on the verge of collapse. If it wasn't for his good fortune and the blessing of the heavens, he would have been cleansed by the Acheron and lost his life.
Hualala!
The water of the blood-yellow river was getting more and more rapid, and Raka could no longer maintain his calm.
"Quickly use the Demonic Divine Spear to burn the filth!"
Damn No Thoughts, he was actually afraid of the manifested Acheron river. He hovered in mid-air and didn't dare to land. The so-called help was just a drop in the bucket!
As soon as Raka finished his sentence, he suddenly felt darkness in front of him. A strong wind swept past, but different from the Samadhi Divine Wind, the surrounding heaven and earth seemed to have been replaced by another place.
In the darkness, he saw the long, muddy river of blood change direction in a strange way. It rushed to the side and entered a wide sleeve. The owner of the sleeve was a man in a green robe with a Daoist crown. He had vicissitudes of life on his temples and was handsome. He was obviously the helper of the human race invited by the Green Mountains.
"World in the Sleeve!" he blurted out.
World in the Sleeve? No Thoughts, who was hovering in mid-air, also looked over in shock.
That Divine Immortal actually knew this great magical power!
The blood-yellow river that connected heaven and earth and death like a waterfall was kept into Mengqi's sleeve. Then, his clothes fluttered as he walked in the air. Auspicious clouds formed on their own, and he looked like a Heavenly Lord of Daoism. Then, he shook his sleeve forward and threw the unrestrained Acheron out. It surged towards the Slough of Maha Kasyapa, allowing him to respond instinctively.
After "catching" Acheron, Mengqi already had an idea. He looked around and said loudly, "Let's go!"
If we don't leave now, when will we!
Glow, Taili, and the other demonic deities who were temporarily relieved of their predicament looked at each other. Their eyes flickered, but they didn't say anything. They were about to follow Mengqi across the cliff and the Slough of Maha Kasyapa.
The roars from the deep bottom were incessant, but they didn't "crawl" out.
…
Mengqi's Tathagatagarbha incarnation moved forward along the wide river that allowed people to shed their mortal bodies. He observed the surrounding scenery, searching for the mortal body that Tripitaka had shed in the past. The scenery on both sides didn't change. If it wasn't for the surging water, one would think that they were still in the same place.
After walking for a while, Mengqi's gaze swept across the surface of the river. Suddenly, he let out a soft gasp of surprise. The water inside was sparkling, highlighting many scenes that were related to him. For example, sitting in the Yuxu Palace of Kunlun Mountain, trapping the Afflatus King with a sword formation, returning to the Middle Ages, trapping The Conqueror, fighting the Taishang Demon, and so on and so forth. His life after attaining Dharmakaya was presented in reverse chronological order. All of them were there. Only a few experiences like the Yuxu Palace and the Demonic King Palace were blurry and hard to see clearly.
"What does this mean? Reviewing the past? "Mengqi frowned slightly. As he moved forward, he recalled these experiences to see if he could find out where the problem lay.
Going back to when he stepped out of the Yuxu Palace and traveled the Apotheosized World, the scene in the sparkling water was completely dark and chaotic. He couldn't see anything, which made him more and more confused.
Continuing forward, Mengqi flew for a while and finally saw the darkness in the river end. A new scene appeared. It was the scene when he was watching the World Cup in his rented house on Earth.
Eh, why did it jump directly to the experience on Earth?
Mengqi pondered for a while. Combining what he saw just now, thoughts came to mind and he gradually grasped an idea.
"What I saw was the past of this current 'body'. That period of darkness was hidden in the real Jade Mirage Palace and couldn't be presented. That was why it skipped the past and appeared on Earth, tracing back to the corresponding 'body' instead of 'true spirit'."
"In other words, after the shed mortal body flows down, it will enter the corresponding past, backtracking bit by bit and reverse the changes, flowing back to the beginning, back to the time when the mother was pregnant for ten months?"
"In this way, it will completely return to the beginning and disappear?"
With this conjecture in mind, Meng Qi sped up the conveyance light and traveled down the river. Along the way, he retraced his time from working to university, from university to high school, junior high school, elementary school, and then from his reading experience to when he first learned to speak. Finally, from when he first learned to speak, it was the scene when his mother was pregnant.
The belly became smaller bit by bit, and there seemed to be no trace of the body.
Moving forward, the scene was interrupted. The river flowed into darkness, and the void in front was full of cracks. The mountain was steep, and it was the back peak of Spirited Mountain!
Mengqi stopped and looked at the surging river thoughtfully.
"It seems that when I entered Spirited Mountain, the shed mortal body of Su Ziyuan went with the flow and changed in reverse, returning to the state of true time, the state when he was a bastard son of the Su family, the state when he was a baby, and finally returned to the belly, returning to the flesh and blood, leaving nothing behind."
"It's really a river full of the true meaning of Buddhism …"
"What will I see if I move forward?"
"What will Tripitaka's mortal body eventually transform into?"
The monk in white robes pondered for a while and stepped into the back peak of Spirited Mountain.
