Chapter 730

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 this' Hell '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 Nirvana and the Void Hometown that also emphasized the world after death!

"It seems that this is a battle between Buddhism, Taoism, the Heavenly Court, and miscellaneous people on the matter of the real Hell …" Mengqi nodded slightly. He saw through the surface myths and saw 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?

The Celestial Emperor might not have been unable to take down the Great Sage Equalling Heaven. He might not have even made a move, but he was afraid of the mastermind, so he directly invited Gautama Gautama Gautama to suppress him, which meant that he was being forced to join the Spirited Mountain?

The more Meng Qi thought about it, the more he felt the intensity of the struggle back then. The unimaginable things on the surface were all manifestations of a chess game behind the scenes. The Great Sage Equaling Heaven was rebellious and proud. 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 Pilgrimage to the West that he realized the truth of the past and planted the seed to betray the Spirited Mountain?

"Phew!" Meng Qi exhaled. The means of the bigwigs were indeed extraordinary. Their fights were out of the ordinary. Unless the truth was revealed or something similar happened, one would probably remain ignorant as a pawn for the rest of his life.

"Heh, what about the ancestor of the Wang family taking pity on the scattered spirits in the List of Deification for not having a home and becoming a wandering ghost, so he refined the Real Spirit Map of Ghosts and Deities to contain them? What about the mysterious disappearance of the map and its sudden appearance only recently? Grand Wang Trickster is indeed a model example of someone who can deceive others even when telling the truth. Isn't this just because the ancestor of the Wang family peeped into the mysteries 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 Nirvana Realm and take advantage of it. Unfortunately, there was a difference in strength and there was also a mastermind behind the scenes.

Of course, this was different from the Heavenly Way Monster. The Heavenly Way Monster was probably the reason why the Wang Family dared to meddle in this muddy water. He just didn't expect it, or he only figured it out before he passed away. The Heavenly Way Monster was the source of the Wang Family's disaster!

Mengqi closed his eyes and deduced all the details in his heart.

Who was the great emperor who stole the True Spirit Diagram of Ghosts and Gods and quietly established Hell?

Moreover, only a small number of ancient powerhouses could take away the map from the hands of the Wang Family's first ancestor, who was at least legendary and had almost no loopholes in his calculations!

Zhenwu Great Emperor, one of the top few under the Nirvana Realm? 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 obviously involved the Way of Life and Death, Mengqi really suspected that the so-called Great Emperor of the Netherworld 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 Netherworld, 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 to snatch the Real Spirit Map 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 presides over 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 first ancestor was involved, but could his realm and strength really surpass the Wang Family's first 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 first ancestor created the Arithmetical Classic and was good at deduction. How could he not guard against the obvious enemy of the Netherworld?

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 Netherworld's martial arts or Dharma and Taoism were inclined towards the Dream World. Therefore, without awakening and with only a little power, he pulled himself into the Dream World without anyone noticing.

And his Netherworld should also be built in the Dream World!

The power of the gods on the List of Deification came from the original remnant and appointed deity position. The strongest one could not exceed the rank of the List of Deification itself. The Real Spirit Map was the same. According to its rank, there were many Yama of the Divine Immortal Level in the Netherworld. Other than the mysterious Great Emperor, there was at most one Legendary Level. Even if there was, it was only a legend in the Netherworld.

"You want to leave after giving me a warning? Do you really think that the Principles of Karma are nothing? " Mengqi chuckled and suddenly opened his eyes. The Dao Yi Glaze Lamp that could not be described with color suddenly appeared, emitting a black and white brilliance that scattered layer by layer. It was like the birth of karma, illuminating all 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.

In the core, there were blood-brown rivers, towering stone bridges, flowers that could forget one's worries, and many dark, majestic palaces.

There were six bridges in front of the door, solemn and mysterious. A man in a black royal 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 any white. There was a black and white book on the table in front of him. Magistrate Cui, Ox-Head, and Horse-Face stood below.

"Su Meng is powerful. An Earth Immortal is comparable to a Divine Immortal. We are not his match. Your Majesty, please use the Book of Life and Death to deal with him," Magistrate Cui pleaded.

The Chakra King said with a serious expression, "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 dream, 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 in shock.

Su Meng actually found his way here?

He actually found his way here!

He could actually attack from a distance like the legends!
