Chapter 788

Mengqi was no longer ignorant about the major events of the ancient mythological era. He had experienced all kinds of things and constantly corrected his past mistakes to get closer to the truth.

At this time, after deducing from the words left by the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi that several Nirvana Realms joined forces to attack the Heavenly Court for something related to the Fruit of Dao, some long-lasting doubts seemed to be explained.

After the Celestial Ruler opened the highest level of the Nine Levels of Heaven, crossed the sea of sufferings, and ascended to the Nirvana Realm, as a real big shot, he had always been ambitious and did not want to be the puppet of the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi and the Heavenly Lord Dao De anymore. It was very normal for him to rope in the Buddha of Spirited Mountain and involve the forces of Buddhism to achieve a balance. It was also a very smart strategy to be in the middle, but why did he fall out with the Heavenly Lord Dao De in the end and completely turned to Buddhism?

The key point was that the Great Sage Sun Wukong was unstoppable in the Heavenly Palace, forcing the Celestial Ruler to ask the Spirited Mountain Rulai to suppress him. This seemingly simple thing had too many unimaginable aspects:

As one of the Three Pristines and an ancient Nirvana Realm individual, the Heavenly Lord Dao De failed to refine Sun Wukong with the alchemy furnace and gave him even more power.

Immortal Erlang Yang Jian, who had always been easy on Sun Wukong and no one knew about his Way of Chaos except for the masters of the Yuxu Palace, had returned to the mouth of the Guanjiang River.

The two main generals of the Heavenly Court, God of Thunder and Mysterious Fairy, were not there.

The remaining powerhouses such as the Lord of Stars did not make a move or could not stop him at all. They did not have the demeanor of a famous person.

Most importantly, the Celestial Ruler was a real Nirvana Realm individual and the most powerful one among the Five Emperors. But he actually hid in the Lingxiao Hall and asked the Spirited Mountain Rulai for help, not daring to fight with Sun Wukong. Shouldn't it be "When the Celestial Ruler is angry, the demon monkey will turn into ashes"?

If "something related to the Fruit of Dao" was added, then everything would make sense.

The Celestial Ruler opened the highest level of the Nine Levels of Heaven and accidentally found this thing. He kept it a secret, pondered and even refined it slowly while quietly arranging Samsara and plotting against Luohou and the Black Prison to build his own real Hell. Therefore, his strength grew rapidly and showed signs of catching up with the Ancient Ones. His desire to get rid of the control was like a fire that was poured with oil, burning more and more fiercely. He began to contact and draw the Spirited Mountain Rulai to cover his real reliance.

However, how terrifying were the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi and the Heavenly Lord Dao De? The beginning of everything, the Principles of Karma, and the incarnation of Da Dao were statements rather than descriptions. They vaguely discovered some clues and took advantage of the critical moment when the Celestial Ruler was comprehending or refining to release Sun Wukong. They let him wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace and forced the Celestial Ruler to take action to investigate.

Therefore, the Lord of Purity and Magic, Yang Jian, who listened but did not listen, returned to the Guanjiang Estuary early. The God of Thunder, Mysterious Fairy, and Great Emperor Zhenwu were all transferred away due to other matters. Most of the remaining people were loyal to Taoism. They either pretended not to know or did not contribute, forcing the Celestial Ruler to do it himself.

At that time, the Celestial Ruler thought that the secret would be exposed as soon as he made a move, so he made up his mind and completely turned to Buddhism. He invited the Spirited Mountain Rulai to suppress the demon monkey. The Journey to the West incident later involved the mystery of the Spirited Mountain Rulai's "subtraction for emptiness". After a few hundred years, the alliance between the Celestial Ruler and Buddhism finally gained the upper hand. They began to fish, suppress and even threaten the Taoist forces in the Heavenly Court and the demonic camp on the ground.

Later, the secret about the fruit of Dao was leaked. Even Immortal Luya knew about it. He even asked Meng Qi to pass the message to the Qing Emperor, saying that it was the highest level of the Nine Levels of Heaven. Therefore, a few Nirvana Realms put down their prejudice and joined forces to attack the Heavenly Court, almost destroying the Mythological Era. In the process, the Spirited Mountain Rulai, whose side was unknown at that time, benefited the most. In other words, he broke through his obsession, put down his shackles, and became nothing. Not long after, the Spirited Mountain Rulai went through Nirvana and achieved the fruit of Dao. This was also one of the proofs of Mengqi's speculation.

As for the culprit who leaked the secret, the word "God of Thunder" directly appeared in Mengqi's mind. It seemed that the loyal God of Thunder had colluded with the Demonic Lord long before the Nirvana Realms joined forces to attack the Heavenly Court. It could even be said that the Demonic Lord's attack on the Celestial World was a preview of the fall of the Heavenly Court by the Ancients.

This could also explain why the Demonic Lord was so eager to attack the Celestial World and fight the Celestial Ruler when he just reached the Nirvana Realm. It was because the "thing" was too precious and important. Moreover, he had the God of Thunder as a spy. Even the two Heavenly Lords Yuanshi and Dao De would help to stop the Buddhist forces to observe the situation.

If he didn't take action, the Celestial Ruler might have completely digested what he got!

Who knew that at the critical moment, the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi and Heavenly Lord Dao De stopped the Spirited Mountain Rulai, Amitabha, and other great enemies. The God of Thunder who should have made a fatal betrayal was too late …

Therefore, the Celestial Ruler risked his heavy injuries and killed the Demonic Lord at the Boundary Tablet of the Heavenly Court. His body was scattered in the Myriad World.

Thinking further, the Demonic Lord's ascension to the Nirvana Realm was a little sudden. It was very likely that he had gotten some benefits from the God of Thunder. Based on the benefits of that "thing", he who stood out among the evil demons and evil gods would never believe in empty words!

However, there was a premise for all of this. The Celestial Ruler actually let the God of Thunder know such an important secret without killing him. This was either an "absolute trust", or the God of Thunder was extremely familiar with the highest level of the Nine Levels of Heaven and had some hidden means to be able to hide from the Celestial Ruler and spy on and get in touch with that "thing".

While thinking, Mengqi heard Liu Luo sighed and said,

"It's very likely … No wonder the Qing Emperor took the lead …"

However, such "thing" might have been taken away by some big shot during the battle of the Heavenly Court's fall. Even if there was some leftover soup, there was still the Qing Emperor in front of them. It seemed to be meaningless for the Great Mediums like him to rush there.

…

The ancient tomb was deep and serene. The dome seemed to be supporting a sky curtain. Stars were twinkling and there was a great force constantly increasing.

"Taiyi (Taiyi)!"

A crazy and vague roar came from the depths of the tomb. It seemed to be able to directly shake everyone's natural aura, contaminating it and dragging it into a chaotic and terrifying abyss.

The tokens engraved with Scarlet Bright Jade Characters such as "All Creations" and "Ice and Snow" were circling around and communicating with the sloughs in the nine ancient tombs. They borrowed the power of heaven and earth and formed a smaller Restrictive Spell under the control of the black and white light spots that were constantly deducing and changing from the Ancient Book. Only then did Wang Siyuan resist the monster's weak roar.

Even so, Wang Siyuan still felt that all the acupuncture points in his body were numb as if there was a cold light about to drill out. His head was slightly dizzy and his Real Body of Yi Dao was like an illusory gas, shaking and rippling.

However, the smile on Wang Siyuan's face did not diminish. The terrifying madness in his eyes became more and more obvious. After another nine steps, he suddenly said,

"Taiyi?"

"What Taiyi?"

"Aren't you the Eastern Emperor Taiyi!"

The Eastern Emperor Taiyi, one of the three Nirvana Realm Emperors in ancient times, failed to compete with God Hao Tian for the position of the Supreme Lord and died!

He was still alive? Lived until this era? Suppressed by the nine Celestial Primogenitors who sacrificed themselves?

The roar was eerily silent for a few breaths. Then, as if it had regained some of its consciousness, it shouted loudly,

"I'm not the Eastern Emperor Taiyi!"

Wang Siyuan coughed and nodded lightly.

"That's true. You're not worthy of being called the Eastern Emperor Taiyi."

Speaking of this, he looked over with a smile.

"You're Sheqin. You're the founder of Zhixu Mountain."

The roar stopped again. There was a faint sound of pain. After a long time, it roared weakly,

"I, I'm Sheqin …"

Wang Siyuan's face was abnormally red, "In order to break free from the sea of sufferings, you tried to study the traces left behind by the fallen Nirvana Realm. Who knew that you would encounter the dead Eastern Emperor Taiyi and almost be possessed by him. If it wasn't for Primogenitor Lingbao who sensed it and slashed from afar, you would have become the Eastern Emperor Taiyi long ago."

The chaotic and crazy voice became confused. It said in an erratic tone,

"You, how did you know?"

Madness and bitterness flashed in Wang Siyuan's eyes. He coughed and laughed,

"Of course, cough, of course, from, cough, the real Eastern Emperor Taiyi …"

…

Big Dipper Emperor's carriage cut through the void and continued forward.

"Is it really necessary to go there?" Liu Luo, the Mysterious Fairy of the Nine Heavens, raised an objection. "Will the bigwigs miss out on important things?"

According to the chaotic time around, it could reflect the past. Judging from the situation, they were about to arrive at the core of the highest level of the Nine Levels of Heaven. It was one of the focal points of the Nirvana Realm war.

Mengqi smiled and said, "Things that the bigwigs don't care about are also precious to us. Moreover, it's very likely that we'll meet the Qing Emperor. In that case, I won't have to worry about Dipankara and the Devil Buddha chasing us through the connection of their doppelgangers …"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the Supreme-wisdom Tree in his sleeve tremble slightly. It seemed to have sensed something and was trying to break free.

With a thought, Mengqi took out the green tree that was covered with a clear light and pointed to the depths of the void.

In an instant, a clear light shot up from the depths. The waves were like ripples and waves, surging wildly everywhere in the void and lighting up the road.

…

Manjushri Heavenly Lord Guangfa, who was flying in the boundless darkness, suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked somewhere. He actually saw a clear light far away like a lighthouse!

"What happened there?" Manjushri Heavenly Lord Guangfa muttered solemnly. He changed his direction and flew towards the Clear Light Lighthouse.

In other places in the void, the Worldly Limitless Buddha, the Lord of Plentiful Treasure, the Three Heavenly Goddesses, the Bull Demon King, the Roc Demon King, and the Dipankara Buddha, as well as the other Great Mediums, all looked over as they felt the clear light that could penetrate through time and space.
