Looking at the Tianzhu Mountain from afar, the peak and the clouds intersected, it went straight beyond the clouds and flew to the Lingxiao Hall.
Looking at the towering mountain from afar, Meng Qi felt a sense of heaviness in his heart. Inexplicably, he felt a sense of danger. With his current realm, cultivation, and skills, even if the Tianzhu Mountain was heavily guarded, it would still be difficult for him to feel this way unless he was facing a demonic fairy that was slightly weaker than the Tyrant's level before he got close.
The top of the Tianzhu Mountain pierced through the clouds and went deep into the ground. It was surrounded by thick black fog that was thicker and heavier than the demonic aura and more deadly than the evil aura. The gloomy and depraved feeling made Mengqi feel as if he had returned to the broken Spirited Mountain.
"Sure enough, it has something to do with the Battle of Spirited Mountain." Mengqi nodded slightly and his eyes showed some seriousness, "There is no aura revealed, as if it is in deep sleep, but it makes me feel dangerous. I'm afraid it was not a small character. Could it be a Great Sage who was lucky enough to escape?"
As for what Yellow Eyed King said about the Immortal Demon Fairy experiencing the apotheosis and the Pilgrimage to the West, Mengqi did not fully believe it. This was different from the Spirited Mountain. Once he saw the Tianzhu Mountain, he was a little more certain. Who knew if Yellow Eyed King's source of information was accurate or if it was deliberately released by the Immortal Demon Fairy.
Of course, if its description was true, there were very few Great Sage who experienced the apotheosis, the Pilgrimage to the West and the Spirited Mountain at the same time. Meng Qi could guess it. For example, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva's mount White Elephant, Jie School's Spirit Tooth Fairy, the Lion Camel Ridge's two demon kings, Guanyin Bodhisattva's mount Golden Hair Hou, Jie School's Golden Light Deity, Zhu Zi Country's Sai Tai Sui.
Although they did not enter the Creation Realm, they were still the legendary Great Sage!
While thinking, Mengqi took out the Myriad World Talisman and recorded the image of the Tianzhu Mountain. If he was trapped here, he would upload the status and call for reinforcements.
After that, he sat cross-legged in a hidden place and pushed the Cloud Crown. A gust of Innate Qi gushed out and turned into a ten feet wide cloud that emitted a chaotic dim light. A tall and sturdy figure stood up from the cloud and flew out. His body was glowing with a pale golden light, and every move he made was filled with the power to shatter the vacuum.
This was the incarnation of Meng Qi's Undying Tao Body.
The Immortal Demon Fairy of Tianzhu Mountain was terrifying and did not seem like a friendly place. Meng Qi did not need to go there personally. After all, his incarnation could be cultivated again even if it died. Unlike Han Guang, who had something to rely on and had to find something similar to cultivate again, Meng Qi mainly relied on the great direct knowledge of the Yi Qi Turning San Qing and the skills that he had cultivated before.
Of course, compared with Han Guang's incarnation and Celestial Incarnation, his incarnation had a time, it., it, Dao Form, one was, one, and, and, it, and Tao, and it., one and one, one, and, and the time.
The Undying Tao Form shook his body and turned into a Taoist wearing a Fan Cloud Crown and a Taoist robe. He rode the Somersault Cloud and flew toward the Tianzhu Mountain.
After a few moments, Mengqi stopped at the edge of the Tianzhu Mountain. He saw two demons with tiger heads and human bodies appearing in the black fog. Their bodies were dark green and surrounded by a faint aura of death and decay. They shouted coldly, "Halt!"
Mengqi deliberately simulated the aura and scales of a real dragon to intimidate the two demon lords. He bowed and said, "I am the Lord of Incarnation. I came from the East Sea and want to visit the Immortal Demon Fairy."
"My King has ordered that he will not see any outsiders. Go back!" One of the demons said firmly.
Mengqi smiled, "Send a message to your King. If he still doesn't see me, I will turn around and leave."
Because of Mengqi's aura of the Demon Fairy, the two demons were still polite. One of them asked, "What message?"
Mengqi said with a faint smile, "The change of Ananda, the old friend of Spirited Mountain."
The old friend of Spirited Mountain? Although the two demons did not know what the change of Ananda was, they were quite sensitive to the words "the old friend of Spirited Mountain". This was because many Great Sage of the demon race were trapped in Spirited Mountain and could not escape. The Divine Demon Queen also passed away because of this, and the demon race's chaos was not completed. Moreover, their King had experienced the deification and Pilgrimage to the West, witnessed the fall of the Heavenly Court, and lived through the years of the Battle of Spirited Mountain. There were many rumors saying that it also participated in the battle and was the only demon race other than the Divine Demon Queen to escape. Because of this, its status and reputation in the four major states became extraordinary.
Now, this person in front of them claimed to be the old friend of Spirited Mountain!
Could it be that he was also a survivor of the Battle of Spirited Mountain? An ancient Demon Fairy that escaped the change of Spirited Mountain?
As soon as these words were spoken, the two patrolling demons did not dare to be negligent anymore. One of them went into the mountain to report, and the rest of them guarded the Restrictive Spell to prevent Mengqi from entering.
Not long after, the Pillar of Heaven Mountain suddenly shook, spewing out dust and black fog. In addition to the original gloomy depravity and the heavy sense of death, the surroundings became a scene of doomsday.
The black fog rotated and turned into a whirlpool, condensing into a path leading to the Pillar of Heaven Mountain. The horrifying thoughts hidden in the dead silence appeared faintly.
"If it's an old friend, come in for a while." A gloomy voice that could not be distinguished between a man and a woman was heard.
Why wouldn't I dare? I'm just an incarnation … Mengqi smiled and stepped into the path of the whirlpool. The light and shadow in front of him changed, and he was instantly moved to a tomb with many everlasting lamps. The sound of water splashed under his feet, washing away the vitality, and the evil and depravity of death filled the air.
There was no coffin in the tomb to show the meaning of immortality. At the end of the everlasting lamps was a black ice cloud bed, and on it sat a figure covered from head to toe in a pitch-black long robe. Its breath was completely restrained, and no one could sense its Demon Qi, only a faint sense of death.
"You weren't in Spirited Mountain in the past, so how did you know about the change in Ananda?" the black figure asked slowly.
Mengqi's eight words, "old friend of Spirited Mountain", were meant for the demon lords guarding the door, in case they were unwilling to report it. The "change in Ananda", on the other hand, could only be understood by humans or demons who knew about Spirited Mountain. It was a knock on the door to attract the attention of the Immortal Demon Fairy.
Similarly, the Immortal Demon Fairy allowed him to enter and ask these questions. Coupled with the environment that looked like a dilapidated Spirited Mountain, Mengqi could basically confirm that it had indeed experienced the Spirited Mountain War.
"The change in Ananda was the turning point of the Spirited Mountain War. Thousands of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas fell into darkness at the same time, which was amazing." Mengqi said with a smile, looking relaxed. "As for I, I was indeed in Spirited Mountain back then, but there were many changes, so you didn't recognize the Immortal Demon Fairy."
"It's really hard to recognize a mere incarnation. Who are you?" the Immortal Demon Fairy coldly exposed the fact that Mengqi was only an incarnation.
"Such terrifying eyesight, I'm afraid he's really at the legendary level …" Mengqi's smile did not diminish. "At the crucial moment, I killed Maha Kasyapa, changed the formation, turned death into life, and turned Buddhism into demonic will. Who do you think I am?"
"Ananda!"
The black shadow let out an angry roar. The horrifying aura was like a huge sun collapsing and exploding. Waves surged and surged, oppressing Mengqi without any gap, causing cracks to appear on his pale gold, making him feel as if he was isolated from heaven and earth, and making the universe and heaven inside him feel like it was about to be destroyed. The eternal lamps around him had already turned into ashes, leaving no traces behind.
Mengqi revealed the Undying Tao Form and activated the power of the heaven to forcefully resist the horrifying impact for a short while. He felt that he really looked like the ultimate villain just now, and it was all thanks to the Devil Buddha, Ananda!
"How did you become so weak?" The black shadow was either a Great Sage or a mighty person. After releasing his pent-up anger, he quickly realized that something was wrong. Ananda was one of the two most outstanding disciples of Gautama Buddha, one of the best among the Great Arhats, and the candidate for the ruler of the Pure Land of Saha. He had long entered the Creation Realm and was a genuine Great Medium. Even if his incarnation was an Earth Fairy, he should at least be a Celestial Fairy, even though the opponent was an Earth Fairy with some power of a Celestial Fairy.
Mengqi maintained his elegance and smiled with his hands behind his back, "I'm Ananda, but also not Ananda."
"Hmm?" the Immortal Demon Fairy said thoughtfully.
"After Ananda escaped from Spirited Mountain, he was chased by the Demonic Sage. Relying on the Seal of Samsara to save his life, he chose to enter the Samsara Dharma in search of the Nirvana Realm. However, he had evil intentions and was chased for generations because of the Demonic Sage's order. The more he reincarnated, the weaker he became. In the end, he gave up the Dharma and became a demon. He practiced the Buddha's Palm in reverse and reached the Nirvana Realm, calling himself the Devil Buddha." Mengqi briefly explained about Ananda, but to the Immortal Demon Fairy, every word was like thunder. It turned out that during the time when he lived an ignoble life, Ananda had experienced so many things and successfully reached the Nirvana Realm.
It turned out that he had the Seal of Samsara, no wonder he could reverse the Thousand Buddha Formation …
Seeing that the Immortal Demon Fairy did not speak, Mengqi continued, "The Devil Buddha caused chaos in the world, but was suppressed by Gautama Buddha and sealed in the depths of Spirited Mountain."
"Gautama Buddha …" the Immortal Demon Fairy suddenly said, "He made a move?"
His tone was subtle and complicated.
Mengqi frowned and suddenly had another idea. Maybe the Immortal Demon Fairy was not the one he had guessed before.
"Yes, Gautama Buddha who had achieved Dao Fruit had made a move," Mengqi described truthfully.
The Immortal Demon Fairy sat quietly, as if he was lost in his own thoughts and did not speak for a long time.
Mengqi spoke again, "I was the Devil Buddha's deliberately hidden projection. He cultivated me and wanted to use me to escape. However, with the help of the fight between the Nirvana Realm Individuals, I successfully cut off the connection with Ananda. In the future, the stronger I became, the weaker Ananda became, and they could not coexist with each other."
"So you're here to ask about Spirited Mountain?" the Immortal Demon Fairy finally spoke.
It was knowledgeable and had a certain ability to distinguish what Mengqi had described.
"Demon Fairy, please speak frankly," Mengqi did not mention the matter of the Fifth Manor first.
Both the Buddhists and the demon race hated Ananda. He could easily get a lot of information by using the excuse of dealing with Ananda.
The Immortal Demon Fairy slowly said, "The Demonic Saint attacked Spirited Mountain suddenly. Coupled with the rebellion of the demon race subdued by Mahamayuri and other Buddhists, the situation quickly deteriorated. At this time, Ananda and Maha Kasyapa were ordered to preside over the big enchantment of the Saha Pure Land to buy time for the other pure lands to help and the Buddhas to set up the Thousand Buddha Formation. At the same time, Amitabha from the Western Pure Land and the ancient Buddha from the Bodhi Pure Land sent their thoughts and were about to make a move."
Amitabha and the ancient Buddha from the Nirvana Realm participated in the battle of Spirited Mountain? Mengqi took a light breath and felt that the battle of Spirited Mountain was more complicated than he had expected.
"At the crucial moment, Ananda suddenly attacked and killed Maha Kasyapa. As you said, he changed the Thousand Buddha Formation with the help of the Seal of Samsara, turning death into life and Buddhism into demonic will. He dragged the Saha Pure Land and the Buddhas who came to help into the deepest and darkest darkness and turned Spirited Mountain into the Nine Serenities. As a result, even the Nirvana Realm figures felt threatened by the power produced. After that, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven exerted his full strength and penetrated Spirited Mountain with the Golden Cudgel, creating a sealed pure land that was untainted and created a chance of survival for the remaining Great Sage and the Demonic Saint."
The Immortal Demon Fairy said slowly, "I took advantage of this momentary hesitation and seized a chance to escape from Spirited Mountain. I don't know what happened after that."
Mengqi deeply suspected that the Immortal Demon Fairy knew something about what happened after that. However, it involved the secrets of the Nirvana Realm figures, so he did not dare to mention it.
Phew. Mengqi sighed and suddenly said, "Judging from your tone and your description, I'm afraid that it's not the demonic race but the mighty figure of Buddhism. Although he escaped from Spirited Mountain in the past, he was also infected by the terrifying power produced by the Thousand Buddha Formation. He was neither dead nor alive. He used the name of his own mount and used the power of the Nine Serenities to communicate with the Tianzhu Mountain and modified it. Only then did he manage to survive until today."
No wonder this place looked like a broken Spirited Mountain. It was all like the arrival of the Nine Serenities!
"Not dead, not alive …" the Immortal Demon Fairy laughed softly, full of self-mockery.
Mengqi said seriously, "Should I call you Samantabhadra or Guanyin Bodhisattva?"
