The bronze door was heavy to the touch. With Mengqi's current strength, he could still feel the obvious stagnation, as if there was a similar Great Medium supporting it from behind.
The rusty green door slowly opened. Mengqi's heart was as still as water, just like a flat mirror, reflecting the reactions of the Great Medium behind him. He wanted to find some clues and peek at what happened in the past.
Silence, peace, ancient well, deep pool … Chijingzi, Zhenren Yuding, Three Heavenly Goddesses, Dipankara Buddha, and the others could all be described in such terms without any clues.
They really are old fellows who have lived for thousands of years … Mengqi thought to himself. The scene behind the door had already appeared in front of him. It was a void of darkness without mist, rays of light, pavilions, and the distinction between heaven and earth. It made people involuntarily think of ruins, Dao, and return.
It seemed that the battle at the Nirvana Realm back then had basically destroyed the uppermost level of the Nine Levels of Heaven. The remaining parts were fragmented and either fell into Yuxu Mountain with the fallen Celestial Court or scattered in this boundless darkness and emptiness.
As soon as he stepped into the boundless darkness, Mengqi only felt that his real body and Daoist body were disintegrating and returning to nothingness, as if he had fallen into the chaos that melted everything.
A faint and dark Gyeongun suddenly rushed out from the top of his head. It seemed to contain everything and was the very beginning, but it also seemed to be able to melt everything and was the very end of the end.
Rays of light fell and the chaos was like water, shrouding the surroundings, making Mengqi look like a majestic god overlooking the world as he walked into the depths of the nothingness step by step.
Behind him, Guangchengzi's sleeves were fluttering and his body was towering. An acre of clear light Gyeongun also flew out from the top of his head like a surging wave, surrounding three lotuses. One was green and simple, abnormally heavy, as if the sky and earth were trapped in it. Another was surrounded by purple gas, like a bell. When it shook slightly, it would cause ripples in the hearts of the Great Medium. The last one was pure Yang and had billions of golden rays, but it also revealed a sense of peace and inaction.
As soon as the three flowers that corresponded to the illusory Dao appeared, Guangchengzi's surroundings immediately became clear and misty, forming a world of its own. The nothingness lingered around and was assimilated, worthy of the title of Heavenly Lord.
Mengqi also took the opportunity to observe the means of the great mediums in Yuxu and other forces, trying to understand more.
Manjushri Heavenly Lord Guangfa used the auspicious clouds of Dao Sect as the root, yet he formed five wisdom lotuses. The one at the core was empty and misty, its colors fluctuated like a round mirror. Its body didn't move, but it reflected everything in the outside world. It contained everything, contained ten thousand Dao, and was close to limitless.
This was the alternative path of the unification of all Daos that she walked with the emptiness of Buddhism and the Omniscient Mirror.
Clear light shone. The void wasn't empty, as if it contained many things. It no longer showed any signs of melting and disintegrating. Only the space-time chaos could only calm down a little.
As the clear light shone, the nothingness was not empty, as if it contained many things. There was no longer any signs of melting and disintegration, but the chaos of time and space could only be calmed a little.
Behind the head of the Dipankara Buddha, circles of perfect Buddha Light appeared. Some were transparent like a mirror, some were golden like glass, some were green, some were noble, some were pure white, and so on. There were a total of twenty-four circles, and between the layers, one could vaguely see a boundless Buddhist Kingdom that had crossed billions of calamities. In the center of the pure land, there was an ancient glass lamp that shone the light of the entanglement of karma from the source of the sea of bitterness in the mortal world.
As usual, Maitreya had a flame on top of his head, and in the light, a pure white lotus appeared. The white lotus bloomed its petals, revealing the golden body of the future Star Constellation Buddha with twenty heads and sixteen arms. The golden body opened its mouth and spat out two crystal clear relics that contained white lotuses.
The Buddha Light rolled like waves and clustered around the relics, causing one of them to show the vicissitudes of the past, while the other one was in the center, saving all living beings with infinite light.
As the light appeared, white lotuses formed in the nothingness, turning the end into the Buddhist Kingdom on earth.
The Worldly Limitless Buddha was a young and handsome ancient Buddha. He wore an ancient monk's robe, revealing his pale golden skin. It seemed that there was no need for him to change his golden body, and he always had a leisurely smile on his face. At this moment, a glass Buddha word appeared between his brows. The word was formed by countless characters, purifying the surrounding nothingness into a pure land.
It was said that before Amitabha, Bodhi Ancient Buddha, and Spirited Mountain Gautama Buddha achieved enlightenment, he was the oldest Buddha in Buddhism and had lived for more than three eras. However, once he reached Nirvana, the stronger he became, the older he became. No one could clearly say who founded Buddhism in the first place.
Other than that, the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva and the others also used their own supernatural powers to cross the void.
More than half of Buddhism's creation was gathered here!
Mengqi had once estimated that there were at most ten Great Mediums in Buddhism, and they were no longer at the peak of their power that suppressed many major forces. This showed that they had suffered heavy losses in the battle at Spirited Mountain. Not only did Maha-Vairocana, Amitabha, and Bao Sheng Tathagata fall, but even the rising star Ananda Maha Kasyapa had either betrayed or passed away. Moreover, Samantabhadra and Guanyin were nowhere to be found, and Manjushri had even jumped out of Buddhism. If it wasn't for the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva and the others who advanced to the Creation Realm, there might not even be ten Great Mediums.
On the contrary, in Yuxu Palace, most of those who passed away were the mighty people of the Legendary Realm. Currently, there were still Guangchengzi, Manjushri, Celestial Lord Guangfa, Chijingzi, Zhenren Yuding, Celestial Lord Daohang, Nezha, himself, and Yang Jian whose specific realm was still unclear. There were eight Great Mediums in total, and they were already close to the power of Buddhism.
After the deification and the fall of the Heavenly Court, the Lingbao lineage was in a worse state than Buddhism. At least for now, Mengqi had only seen five Great Mediums. After the Three Heavenly Fairies were resurrected with the help of the Green Lotus Seed of Chaos, their cultivation had changed, and they had just barely stepped into the Creation Realm. They used their innate virtues to transform into five waves of clear air that surged above their heads, surrounding the Primeval Dipper, the Golden Dragon Scissors, and the Heaven Measuring Ruler, these three peerless treasures to resist the void and the chaotic time.
Among the other two, one was dressed in a simple and unadorned Daoist robe. He had a red face and yellow beard, and wore a tall hat with big sleeves. He was aloof, but his sword will was flourishing. He stood proudly in the darkness of the void without revealing any mysticism. He felt that his strength was not inferior to Heavenly Lord Guangcheng, Dipankara Buddha, and Worldly Limitless Buddha. Looking at his attitude towards the other Great Mediums, Mengqi suspected that he was Heavenly Lord of Plentiful Treasure, one of the Nine Primogenitors of Taoism. The remaining woman was dressed in a plain green Daoist robe. Her eyes were sharp, and she was full of vitality. She did not look ancient, and it was obvious that she was a new expert of the Aquamarine Palace who achieved the Creation Realm after the ancient times.
The Great Mediums of the other forces did not enter for the time being. Since the Heavenly Lord Buddha was here, they chose to keep a distance. Anyway, this world had already collapsed. They could not be everywhere, and it was difficult for their divine senses to cover a wide area. It did not matter if they entered first or later.
Among them, the one who left the deepest impression on Mengqi, other than the Great Sage Pingtian whom he had rescued previously, was the ancestor of the Earth Immortals, the Great Deity Zhenyuan, who was the same ruler as the world. He was now the Acting Oracle, the head of the Twelve Oracles of the Luo Sect. He had the demeanor of an immortal, and his breath was long, as if he had crossed the ages. He was also at the level of Dipankara Buddha and Heavenly Lord of Plentiful Treasure.
His gaze swept across Chijingzi, Immortal Yuding, and the others. Mengqi was about to go deeper when he suddenly heard Guangchengzi's voice.
"Junior Brother, it's better for us to go forward together. Dipankara, Zhenyuanzi, and the others are probably up to no good."
Mengqi nodded slightly and moved to the side. The group from Yuxu Palace secretly formed a formation. They were like gods roaming in the void, distancing themselves from the forces of Buddhism, the demonic race, the Luo Sect, and the remnants of the ancient Celestial Court.
At this moment, an object floated over from the empty darkness in front of them. It was half a stone tablet, and the meaning of time spread like water.
Mengqi activated his Third Eye and looked at it. He saw a paragraph of content written in blurry Dao patterns on the stone tablet:
"I wiped out the old gods of the Nine Heavens, subdued the saints of the demonic race, and flattened the old ghosts of the earth. Only then did the Celestial Court was established …"
The incomplete language described the process of the establishment of the Celestial Court in a flat and straightforward manner. Although there was only half a stone tablet left, Mengqi could still feel the difficulties, the power to swallow the world, and the power to suppress the world.
The Celestial Ruler was born in the Celestial World. He was a congenital deity and had the corresponding authority. However, this did not mean that he could command the other congenital deities and be above them. Although the Demon Emperor was hidden, the Demon Saint was still there. The Great Sage of the demonic race ran amok between the heaven and earth. In addition, Zhenwu and other congenital deities each had their own advantages and protected one side. The human race worshiped the ancestral spirits and had totem ghosts and deities. It was not a decree of the Celestial Ruler, so everyone was obedient.
While the Premier and Dao De secretly supported him, Amitabha, Bodhi Ancient Buddha, and Spirited Mountain Gautama were obstructing him. The Celestial Ruler could wipe out the old gods of the Nine Heavens step by step, subdued the demonic race, flattened the old ghosts of the earth, and single-handedly established the Celestial Court. It was enough to show how powerful he was in all aspects!
Therefore, this tablet was written to record the establishment of the Celestial Court.
Unfortunately, there was an end to prosperity. The domineering Celestial Court was only left with broken walls. Only this half of the stone tablet floated in the void, silently telling the arrogance of the past.
The half of the stone tablet approached and sensed the Qi dynamic of the great mediums. Suddenly, blurry Dao patterns lit up and a majestic, solemn, and terrifying aura gushed out. It condensed into an illusory figure of a monarch. Its eyes shone brightly and shot out the time like water.
At that moment, Mengqi only felt that the surroundings were pure white and pitch-black. He had completely lost his sense of the outside world.
Just a little bit of aura left by the Celestial Ruler on the stone tablet was triggered and it had such a terrifying power!
Mengqi immediately retracted the Gyeongun and turned his body into a primeval point that contained countless possibilities to resist the erosion of time.
When everything calmed down, the great mediums around him were all gone. Only half of the palace floated in front of him and dim candlelight shone out!
