When he asked this question, Mengqi also secretly hid a name in his heart, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!
He was one of the four strongest Bodhisattvas recognized by all the pure lands of Buddhism. In order to seek the Nirvana Realm, he made a great wish to prove his Sambhogakaya pure land. It was very likely that he would rush to help during the battle of Spirited Mountain in the past. Moreover, he was proficient in the way of life and death as well as the matter of enlightenment. He represented Buddhism in presiding over the fight for the real Nether World. He was the nemesis of vengeful spirits, evil ghosts, and obsessive death. Not only was he not afraid of the contamination of the Nine Serenities, but he also wanted to convert the Nine Serenities into Nether World and develop Nether World into his own pure land. In the face of the death and filthy power produced by the reversal of the Thousand Buddha Formation, he was the Great Medium that was most likely to resist for a short period of time. Thus, he was able to find an opportunity to escape when the Great Sage Equalling Heaven broke through Spirited Mountain.
The only problem was that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva attained Taoism late and had never experienced the apotheosis. His mount, Truth Listener, also did not have it. When he was hiding in Tianzhu Mountain, unless there were other secrets, there was no need for him to pretend to be the mount of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva or Guanyin Bodhisattva. Moreover, with the respective characteristics of his martial arts and Sambhogakaya, they were able to restrain depravity and death. Thus, he should not still be neither dead nor alive.
Mengqi believed that during the battle of Spirited Mountain, other than the big shots of the Nirvana Realm, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva would be the first to escape from Buddhism. However, the one in front of him was most likely not.
"Samantabhadra, Guanyin …" the Immortal Demon Fairy muttered these two names. In the end, he sighed gloomily, "The past is dead, and the present is not alive. Why bother about the past identity?"
He did not deny it, but he did not admit it either. It seemed that he did not want to meet people in his current state with the past identity.
Shaped like a ghost, neither dead nor alive, this was the biggest mockery of every Bodhisattva's path. No wonder the roar of "Ananda" would echo eternally in the broken Spirited Mountain.
Seeing that the Immortal Demon Fairy did not answer, Meng Qi did not ask further. To be honest, he was more inclined to the answer of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. This was because Guanyin Bodhisattva was one of the Three Saints of the West, the Great Bodhisattva of the Elysium Pure Land, the left attendant of Amitabha Buddha. She participated in the matters of Spirited Mountain and represented Amitabha Buddha, an ancient Nirvana Realm individual. As long as he did not die on the spot and escaped from Spirited Mountain, he could naturally return to the Elysium Pure Land. Even if his Golden Sambhogakaya was completely destroyed, he could still reconstruct it in the Eight Treasures Pond of Merits and Virtues in the Sambhogakaya Pure Land.

Eliminating all impossibilities, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was the only answer left.
But Mengqi sensed something strange from the conversation just now. The Immortal Demon Fairy addressed the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. Although they were not close, they were not angry. If it was Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, he would not address him as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven after he betrayed Spirited Mountain and caused a catastrophe. Even if he was not as furious as he was with Ananda, he would not address him as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. He would address him as Sun Wukong at most.
Therefore, Mengqi boldly guessed that Guanyin Bodhisattva had experienced the betrayal and degenerated from a monkey to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. How many jokes and memories were all indifferent.
"What I care about is not my previous identity." Mengqi pondered for a while and said, "What I care about is how could Buddhism let a Bodhisattva of the Creation Realm fall to such a state and die on his own."
That was the biggest doubt in his heart.
If it was said that the mighty people were the backbone of Buddhism, Taoism, the Heavenly Court, the Nine Serenities, and the demonic race, then the masters of the Creation Realm were the higher-ups of the various forces and were known as the Great Mediums. Before the demons caused chaos on the earth, the Qing Emperor, the Black Emperor, the Golden Emperor, and the Fire Emperor of the Five Ancient Emperors were also at this level. Although they and a small number of others were at the level of perfection, close to the Nirvana Realm, and stronger than the other Great Mediums, they were still at this level, still in the sea of suffering. This showed the rarity and preciousness of the Great Mediums of the Creation Realm.
In ancient times, Buddhism was so powerful that there were not many Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats of the Creation Realm. Excluding the Samsara, the Past Body, the Vajra Incarnation, and the Bodhisattva incarnation, there were only four top Bodhisattvas, Manjushri, Guanyin, Ksitigarbha, and Samantabhadra, two Arhats of Ananda and Maha Kasyapa, Amitabha, Buddha of the Five Directions and Five Buddhas, Dipankara of the Past Buddha, Maitreya Maha Bodhisattva of the Future Buddha, Bhaisajyaguru Buddha of the Three Realms of Buddhism, and Mahavairocana of the present world.
Even if Meng Qi included the Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva of the Past Buddha, and two or three other Buddhas such as Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva, Victorious Fighting Buddha, and Golden-winged Roc, there might not even be twenty of them.
These were the Great Mediums of the Pure Lands of Buddhism, such as the Pure Land of Saha, the Pure Land of Glaze, and the Pure Land of Miaoxi, as well as many other pure lands and innumerable branches. Some pure lands even had only one Great Mediums. Be it Guanyin or Samantabhadra, they were definitely the high-level and important figures of Buddhism. Before Buddhism was completely destroyed, why did they allow him to live on the Pillar of Heaven Mountain?
The Immortal Demon Fairy fell into silence again and did not speak for a long time. Seeing that Mengqi's Undying Tao Body incarnation was nearing the time limit, he slowly said, "Some things can't be judged on the surface."
"Can't be judged on the surface …" Mengqi took a light breath and suddenly felt that the Buddha's Fruit of Dao and the battle at Spirited Mountain were getting more and more interesting. Based on what he said, it was possible that the Immortal Demon Fairy was Samantabhadra or Guanyin.
He thought for a while and felt that it was not a good time to explore further. The Immortal Demon Fairy obviously did not dare to mention it, so he changed the topic and asked, "In the ancient times, there was a Holy Buddha of Buddhism who ascended to the Nirvana Realm. Demon Fairy, what do you know about him?"
The Holy Buddha cultivated the Arts of Eight-Nine and achieved the Bodhi Golden Body. He was suspected to be the incarnation of the Premier. Mengqi had long been curious about this. Now that he had found a Great Medium of Buddhism who was active in the Mythological Era, how could he let go of this opportunity?
The Immortal Demon Fairy's silence disappeared a lot. He said lightly, "The Holy Buddha was originally an outsider. He was introduced to Buddhism by the Bodhi Ancient Buddha. He cultivated the Dharma and used his own Arts of Eight-Nine to break free from the shackles on his body. He finally achieved the Bodhi Golden Body and became detached from the world. He rarely interacted with other Buddhas and gradually disappeared."
He used his own Arts of Eight-Nine to break free from the shackles on his body and got rid of the shackles on his body … disappeared … Mengqi's heart beat faster as he listened. Although the Immortal Demon Fairy did not say it explicitly, his words were hinting that the Holy Buddha was the incarnation of the Heavenly Lord Yuanshi!
Wasn't he just looking for a way to get rid of the biggest karma between heaven and earth?
Moreover, the Holy Buddha was introduced to Buddhism by the Bodhi Ancient Buddha. This was really beyond his imagination. The game between the Nirvana Realm individuals was deeper and more thrilling than he had expected.
However, if Samantabhadra, Guanyin, and the other Golden Deities of Yuxu joined Buddhism and found out that their former teacher had also joined Buddhism, it was interesting to think about how they would look like.
Of course, they might not be Golden Deities of Yuxu. They might be Buddhas or Maha Bodhisattvas who cut off their Taoist bodies and entered the Yuxu Palace. For example, it might be Taoist Cihang who had become a deity and turned into Buddhism, followed Amitabha, became Guanyin Bodhisattva and cut off her past Buddha body. Or it might be Guanyin Bodhisattva who first cut off her past Buddha body, the Righteous Dharma Ming Tathagata, then cut off Taoist Cihang and entered Yuxu Palace to cultivate the Seal of Yin and Yang. When the tribulation was completed and her cultivation improved, Taoist Cihang returned to her original body, allowing the Golden Body of the Great Compassionate World Bodhisattva to possess the characteristics of Dharmakaya and Sambhogakaya. With both Yin and Yang, she transformed herself from a man to a woman, perfect and beautiful, and stepped into the Creation Realm.
Other than that, there was also the Journey to the West by Lord Dao De and Gautama Buddha who enlightened Gautama Buddha …
In short, it was precisely because of these immortals and Buddhas that the relationship between Taoism, Buddhism, and the Heavenly Court in the Age of Mythology was very subtle, which confused the later generations. Restricting the "immortals" was indeed the general trend … Meng Qi thought to himself.
"I see." Mengqi nodded lightly and continued to ask, "Do you know the whereabouts of the descendants of Wu Zhuang Guan?"
The Immortal Demon Fairy said, "In the fall of the Heavenly Court, Zhen Yuanzi was implicated and his fate is unknown. The Wu Zhuang Guan split into two, one returned to the World of Gods, and the other hid in the world with the ginseng fruit tree."
Returned to the World of Gods? Mengqi squinted his eyes. Does it mean that the Journey to the West was split from the World of Gods?
No wonder Uncle Xiaobai could obtain the great direct knowledge of the Sleeve World.
"As for the one that returned to the World of Gods, I was trapped in the Tianzhu Mountain for many years, so it was difficult for me to know. As for the one that hid in the world, there was no trace of it. However, a few decades ago, the Dragon King of the East Sea obtained the ginseng fruit tree from somewhere," the Immortal Demon Fairy said slowly.
"The ginseng fruit tree?" Mengqi's expression changed slightly. This Root of Heaven and Earth has also appeared?
It seems that the clues of the Wu Zhuang Guan will fall on the Dragon King of the East Sea. Do I have to cause havoc in the Dragon Palace too?
Why is it always related to the monkey's experience …
As he spoke, his incarnation gradually dissipated. The Immortal Demon Fairy sighed softly.
"If I had left the Journey to the West, I would have died long ago."
