Chapter 990

Ever since he met Little Zi in the Devil Tomb, Mengqi had always met Gu Xiaosang. He thought that she had successfully found a way to suppress her split personality. But now that he heard her say it, it felt strange as if she was completely separated from her original self.

Did she find a way to remove Yu Longzi's personality or soul from her body? Or was there a deeper meaning?

The current situation was only temporarily calm. In fact, the undercurrent was turbulent, and every step was thrilling. Meng Qi dared not be distracted. With a turn of his thoughts, he cast his doubts to the back of his mind. He only reminded Gu Xiaosang to pass on his warning to the Dharma King of this World so that he would not agitate Gao Lan.

In his heart, his silly big brother was a ticking time bomb. There was no way to control when he would explode. He might explode after two or three breaths, or he might remain crazy even after he left the Nine Levels of Heaven. Once he exploded before he left, his chances of escaping would be extremely low.

"Thump, thump, thump …" Even with Mengqi's control over his state of mind, he could still hear his heart beating slightly faster. He could only feel the tension and danger around him. The pressure slowly but steadily increased as time passed.

He had to escape as soon as possible!

Gao Lan, Han Guang, and the Wizard King of this World were all Dharmakayas. With a sweep of their minds, the Three-life Temple, which had lost its protection, was reflected in their minds.

There were only a few broken walls left on the left and right side. There was nothing of value left. The rear hall seemed to have been flattened by a palm. The bricks, tiles, stones, and objects made by immortals had all turned into powder. Further back, there was a garden. But it seemed to have been swept by wind, burned by fire, and struck by lightning. It was charred black and even the soil was missing.

"This place seems to have been deliberately destroyed." Gao Lan announced his discovery.

Han Guang, dressed in a loose robe and wearing a dignified mask, asked calmly, "Why leave the Present Life Temple alone?"

He was not refuting Gao Lan's judgment. He was just curious about this point.

Mengqi looked to both sides. There were faint scorch marks where the Past Hall and the Future Hall were broken, but they were not affected. He agreed with Gao Lan and Han Guang.

It seemed to have been deliberately destroyed. But if so, why leave the Present Life Temple alone?

"Perhaps it is still useful to the person who destroyed it." Gu Xiaosang's eyebrows relaxed as if she was no longer vigilant and worried.

"What use is it?" Gao Lan scanned the area, but he could not find any traces of seals or illusory formations. Other than the Mirror of Present Life, only the gold bricks would be useful.

"Dong, dong, dong …" Meng Qi was afraid that Gao Lan would be "awakened" by Han Guang and did not want to waste any more time. He immediately said, "Big Brother, it seems that there isn't much to be found in the Hall of This Life. Why don't we just look around and find another place? As for the ancient secrets of the Hall of This Life, we can slowly figure them out later.

"That makes sense!" The Dharmakayas searched quickly. The Dharmakayas's Dharmakayas. The Wizard Dharmakayas searched quickly.

The Dharmakayas searched quickly. After a few breaths, the Dharmakayas Dharmakayas the Dharmakayas Shen.

Han Guang nodded. He was still puzzled. The Celestial Sovereign's skill had made him choose the direction of the Three-life Temple on a whim. Could it be that he was not here but had to move on?

Gu Xiaosang chuckled. "At least there is the Present Life Mirror."

Everyone's eyes were immediately focused on the Mirror of Present Life. It was a round mirror about half the height of a person, glowing softly like the surface of a clear lake on a sunny day. In the reflection of the water, many indescribable golden spots floated, as if they were the condensation and manifestation of Dharma and Logos.

"I want the Present Life Mirror," Gao Lan said suddenly. "I won't pick anything else until you have each picked one."

"Why does Big Brother want the Present Life Mirror?" "Why does he want to reflect on himself and reminisce about the past?" Meng Qi thought to himself. Since this might help Gao Lan maintain his insane state, he was happy to see it happen and did not raise any objections.

Han Guang and the Dharmakayas Dharmakayas looked at the Emperor's Sword in Gao Lan's hand. They felt that the Present Life Mirror was useless to them.

Gu Xiaosang had no objections either. She stepped back and let Gao Lan take the Present Life Mirror.

Gao Lan extended his left hand and pressed down. There was no fluctuation of breath. The Mirror of Present Life abruptly shrank into a palm-sized mirror and fell into his palm.

"The Fist of Heaven's Substitute is indeed worthy of its reputation …" Han Guang praised with a smile. He took every opportunity to mention things that Gao Lan was familiar with to see if he could "wake" him up.

Mengqi was relieved. With the Present Life Mirror in hand, they could leave this place. He and Gu Xiaosang could find an excuse to escape. As for the item she wanted, the Three-life Temple did not seem to have it. It was not that he had violated the contract!

As soon as he thought of this, Gu Xiaosang suddenly made a sound of surprise. She took two steps forward and made a Dharma Seal. Air gathered and condensed into petals that fell on the center of the stone platform below the Present Life Mirror.

The stone platform suddenly emitted a clear light and rippled like water. It slowly split open and revealed a staircase leading downwards!

Gu Xiaosang took a step back and said in surprise, "I found the pattern on the stone platform familiar. It coincided with some kind of Restrictive Spell. I tried it and it really opened the secret passage."

"Keep pretending …" Mengqi did not understand why Gu Xiaosang would take the risk to open the secret passage!

"Is the item inside that important to her?"

"The Demoness really doesn't care about her life and her own!"

Han Guang knew that Gu Xiaosang knew many secrets of the Celestial Court. He did not expose her. He put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "It is our destiny that favors us."

Gao Lan clicked his tongue and said, "This Restrictive Spell and secret passage are not bad. They actually escaped my detection. Not easy, not easy …"

He looked left and right, studying this Forbidden Technique.

Han Guang and the Wizard King of this World used their means to remove the Restrictive Spell and traps in the secret passage. Those that took a long time were directly suppressed by Gao Lan's power of the Human Sovereign's Sword.

Time passed quickly. Mengqi took a deep breath and calmed his heartbeat. He was thinking of another excuse.

Just then, Han Guang turned his head. There was no expression on the majestic mask of the Celestial Ruler. His voice was gentle and smiling.

"Third Brother, the secret passage is safe now. Let's go down and search for treasures. Otherwise, your trip will be in vain."

His tone was kind, but Mengqi almost shivered.

"Yes, we should at least take some treasures." Gao Lan was quite in favor and secretly sent a message to Mengqi. "Third Brother, don't be afraid of him. I'm here!"

"Big Brother, I'm afraid of you …" Mengqi was speechless and the corner of his mouth twitched. He was worried that telling Gao Lan that he had two souls or a split personality would stimulate him and make him return to normal.

The more dangerous it was, the calmer he was. Mengqi smiled and said, "Okay."

After saying that, he took a step and stepped on the stairs.

…

On the top of the towering mountain, in a magnificent hall, there were layers of Restrictive Spells and strong men.

In a quiet room in the back hall, a majestic statue of the Celestial Ruler looked forward as if it was measuring the Three Realms.

In front of the statue of the Celestial Ruler, there was a green box carved from the Fairy Jade. There seemed to be a long knife in it.

Suddenly, the knife flashed and the room fell into an indescribable stillness. After a dozen breaths, it gradually calmed down.

…

Cui Qinghe and others followed the path and searched while going up. When they found that the floor was empty, they sped up. After a long delay, they finally arrived at the whirlpool leading to the upper three floors.

…

Going down the stairs, Mengqi looked as far as he could to see the panoramic view of the environment, in case there were any changes and he couldn't even find a way to escape.

There were only nine floors of stairs. In front of him was a cave with mud piled up and no vitality. There was only a straight and slender green tree in the center. It was luxuriant and had well-developed roots. It went down to the ground and up to the top of the cave as if it was spreading to every corner of the First Heaven!

At the sight of this big tree, the Supreme-wisdom Tree in Mengqi's Space Ring suddenly went crazy as if it was hungry and thirsty!

Another tree like this?

Mengqi was happy at first, but before he could react, Gao Lan, Han Guang, and the others had already followed him in.

Gathering his thoughts, Mengqi walked down and found that there was another tunnel on the other side of the small cave. On the right corner was a palm-sized jade plate covered with seal scripts and patterns. On the right side of the pile of mud, there was a strange plant with only three branches and one leaf. It looked like dry firewood, with one branch on the left and one on the top. In the middle of the pile of mud, there were two thumb-sized green fruits. They were full of mysterious aura as if they were born this way and would never change in the future.

"Huh? Shouldn't the place where the big tree appeared be sucked away by it?"

"This fruit is strange!"

"Uncles, shall I pick first this time?" Gu Xiaosang asked with a smile.

Gao Lan glanced at Mengqi, deeply worried about his ability to control his wife. He chuckled and said, "Go ahead."

Han Guang suddenly took a few steps forward, passed Mengqi, and leaned to the right side. He then turned back to look at Gu Xiaosang and said with a smile, "What do you want?"

Gu Xiaosang understood his hint and said with a smile, "I won't fight with you for the Three-life Jade Plate."

Three-life Jade Plate? Hearing Gu Xiaosang's words, Mengqi suddenly understood what the Jade Plate was!

The Celestial Sovereign was a rare person who broke through the shackles of the Innate Deity. Later, he combined what he had learned and created the Celestial Sovereign's Imperial Scripts to achieve Dao. Before that, he had practiced the Three-life Jade Plate!

"This is a skill that requires the completion of specific tasks …" Mengqi was a little envious, but Han Guang's determined attitude made Gao Lan and the Wizard King of this World unwilling to stop him.

Han Guang walked over with his hands behind his back and said in a floating voice, "I want the Three-life Jade Plate. You can choose the rest first."

Gu Xiaosang pursed her lips and smiled, "I want the two fruits."

Instead of grabbing them with her hands, she carefully walked over and took out a strange bottle and a small jade hammer. She gently knocked the two fruits into the bottle and quickly sealed it.

"This seems to be the Demoness's purpose … What are these two fruits?" Mengqi was relieved and puzzled at the same time.

But this was not important. What was important was that he could leave!

"This tree is difficult to collect. Third Brother, do you want to pick?" Gao Lan was thinking about his third brother, Mengqi.

"I want to pick, not collect. Once I do, I'm afraid it will be useless!" Mengqi looked at the tree again. He wanted to use the Supreme-wisdom Tree to absorb it.

Once the Supreme-wisdom Tree appeared, would Han Guang and the Wizard King of this World covet it and join forces?

This was very likely to happen. Even Brother Doubi would be stimulated to return to normal. Mengqi did not want to take the risk. He only wanted to leave, so he said shamelessly,

"It is indeed difficult. Big Brother, Xiaosang has already taken the fruit. I will definitely have one. There is no need to pick. It will be dangerous later and I want to leave as soon as possible."

Gao Lan thought for a while and nodded, "Alright."

"Phew!" Meng Qi almost relaxed. Gu Xiaosang, on the other hand, was a little happy.

Han Guang put away the Three-life Jade Plate and was in a good mood. He smiled and said, "With it, I will catch up with Luda and Chong He sooner or later."

Luda … Chong He … Thump, thump, thump. Mengqi's heart suddenly beat like a drum!
