The Immortal World.
Tianyuan Immortal City.
The Immortal World was different from the mortal world. There were more mortals in the mortal world. Therefore, large cities would choose to be located near dynasties, sects, or cultivator clans to prevent being disturbed by the demons in the mountains.
The Immortal World did not have to worry about this at all. Although there were still native mortals, there were also many cultivators and even immortals. Moreover, everyone was quite strong and was unwilling to join sects and live under the fence of others. Therefore, there were more and more rogue cultivators.
This caused many cities to be inhabited by mortals and immortals. As long as the demons had some sense, they would not foolishly attack the cities.
Therefore, cities did not need to rely on other forces. Some cities were even stronger than some sects in the Immortal World. They became good places for immortals to trade and gather.
Tianyuan Immortal City was one of the most prosperous cities in the Immortal World. In the sky above the city, there were clouds floating in the market. All sorts of immortals were riding on the clouds, calling their friends and going in and out.
An elegant and intellectual woman was riding on a pink cloud, floating slowly from afar.
She stepped into Tianyuan Immortal City and looked around. She could not help but say, "The Immortal World is becoming more and more like the mortal world."
In the beginning, there were not many mortals in the Immortal World. However, although mortals did not live long, they could reproduce. As time passed, the number of mortals would definitely increase. Sooner or later, there would be more mortals than cultivators.
"No wonder mortals can take up most of the fate of the human race. They are the foundation."
The woman walked along Tianyuan Immortal City. The more she walked, the more anxious she felt. She could not help but tighten her grip on the item in her hand. Soon, she arrived in front of a black market.
This was a place where immortals bartered. Those who set up stalls were at least in the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Money was not enough. They needed special treasures.
She looked at a few stalls and was a little disappointed.
Then, she stood in the middle of the black market and looked around. She seemed to be hesitating.
"This time, I have received too much from the younger generation. I really don't act like an old ancestor." She sighed and her eyes kept flickering. "I did not expect that I would have to rely on the younger generation to save me. This time, I have to earn back my face no matter what!"
In the end, a look of determination appeared in her eyes. She lifted her leg and walked towards the depths of the black market.
"It's rare for my juniors to be able to make friends with such a monstrous expert. The opportunity is right in front of me. As the ancestor, I naturally have to fight for them! At the same time, this is also a chance for us. Cultivators like us only seek that sliver of opportunity, so we must dare to take risks! "
Soon, she arrived in front of a shop.
The interior of the shop was completely dark. There was not a single bit of light inside. Although this did not affect immortals, it still made them feel waves of pressure.
The woman calmed herself down, took out a mask, put it on, and slowly walked in.
A light breeze blew the curtains at the entrance of the shop, and a voice suddenly sounded, "Have you come here to exchange anything before?"
"No."
"Did you bring it?"
"Yes."
The woman raised her hand, and a round egg and a small jar of honey appeared.
"Eh?"
Accompanied by a soft exclamation, a hunchbacked old man slowly walked out of the darkness.
He stared at the egg and honey for a long time, and a rare fluctuation appeared in his eyes. Then, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the woman in surprise.
"The egg of the Fire Sparrow and the honey of the Golden Bee are indeed rare items!" He pondered for a moment, then said with a smile, "I'll take this deal. What do you want in exchange?"
The woman suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and said, "Do you have any special spiritual items?"
"Special spiritual items?" The old man's eyes flashed slightly. Then, he raised his hand, and a snow-white sword stood in the void, shining with immortal Qi. "This sword is called the Heavenly Sword. It's an acquired spiritual treasure, and its power is comparable to an acquired absolute treasure. Its sword radiance can kill a Perfected Immortal!"
The woman could not help but clench her hands, trying her best to control her heartbeat. She said calmly, "I don't need a weapon. It's best if it's a spiritual item from the ancient mystic realm."
"A spiritual item from the ancient mystic realm? You don't have enough. " The old man chuckled. "As everyone knows, weapons are the most common among Dharma treasures. Spiritual items are rarer than weapons to begin with, and spiritual items from the ancient mystic realm are even more precious."
He stared at the woman and suddenly said meaningfully, "As long as you give me the information behind these two items, I don't even need the items. I can even give you this sword for free!"
The woman's delicate body trembled slightly. She took a deep breath and said, "I got these two items by accident. I can't exchange them, so forget it."
She turned to leave.
"Fellow cultivator, please wait."
The old man hurriedly stopped her, but he still looked friendly. "It's not that you can't exchange them. I have a spiritual item here that came from an ancient mystic realm. However, it seems to be supported by a Heavenly Dao Taboo, so no one can open it. If you're interested, you can exchange it."
The woman stopped in her tracks. "What is it?"
The old man flipped his wrist, and a small vermillion box appeared in his hand. The box was a round ball with a gap in the middle. It was obviously formed by two hemispheres, and no one knew what was inside.
A very vicissitude aura was emitted from the box. As it was too old, one could even feel the traces of time.
"I'll exchange it!" The woman's voice was slightly excited, and she nodded immediately.
Then, she turned and left quickly. Wen Xin Hall.
In the darkness, the old man's eyes revealed a thoughtful look, and a faint voice was heard. "The Fire Sparrow's egg, the Golden Flame Bee's honey. The conditions for these two items to appear are too harsh. How could a mere Early-stage Divine Immortal possess them? There's a secret behind her. Send someone to follow her and take a look. As for that box, although we can't open it, we can't give it away casually. If necessary, we can use special means. "
Fallen Immortal Mountain.
A figure was like a ghost, slowly solidifying in the form of a shadow.
It was a beautiful woman with a devilish figure. She was tall and charming, and it was Yuetu.
She looked up at the mountain and frowned slightly. Her heart could not help but flutter.
"According to the senses of my clone, the expert is on this mountain." She pondered for a moment and slowly walked up the mountain.
As she walked, she fell into deep thought, and a conflicted look flashed between her eyebrows.
Ever since she fought with the Back Demon and Hamon, she realized the fatal flaw of Buddhism, which was that its attacks were too monotonous.
After several rounds, she realized that she only knew the Mighty Dragon of Heaven. Although it was powerful, it was too monotonous, and it was not very impressive.
Because of that, not only did she fail to convert the Back Demon and Hamon, but she was also ridiculed.
Buddhism was boundless, and it should not be limited to this.
Therefore, she had been pondering Buddhism recently, but to no avail.
Not long ago, she accidentally heard a storyteller's "Journey to the West" in a run-down tavern in the mortal world.
The story of Buddha Tathagata, Guanyin Bodhisattva, and other Buddhist disciples, as well as the story of Tang Xuanzang's journey to the West to search for Buddhist scriptures, deeply attracted her. It made her scalp tingle, and her emotions surged.
She felt the joy of finding a guiding light in the midst of her confusion.
That's right, this should be Buddhism!
It turns out that Buddhism has true scriptures!
It turns out that Buddhism refers to women as female Bodhisattvas.
After asking around, she found out that "Journey to the West" originated from the Fallen Immortal City, and the expert lived in the Fallen Immortal Mountain nearby. She had a strong premonition that "Journey to the West" was written by the expert.
Then, she resolutely came to find the expert to ask for the true scriptures!
The path up the mountain was winding and quiet, and there were no restrictions at all. However, her heart was not calm at all, and she was very nervous.
Could she see the true scriptures? Could she ask for the true scriptures?
Excitement, anxiety, anticipation, and many other emotions flashed through her heart.
At this moment, she sensed something and looked up, only to see three figures standing in front of her, blocking her path.
Gu Yuan, Pei An, and Ding Xiaozhu were stunned. They were discussing whether they should give the immortal's painting to the expert, but they did not expect to see a demon making a beeline for the expert's courtyard.
Pei An's expression changed immediately, and there was already a flash of fire. He said coldly, "The Demons dare to come to the expert's place and cause trouble? They must die! "
He was a little agitated, and he wanted to share the expert's burden. He took a step forward and was ready to attack.
Gu Yuan quickly stopped him, "Grandmaster, please wait. This is the Venerable Yuetu that I told you about."
"Oh?"
Gu Yuan was slightly stunned, "She's the Demons' spy?"
Obviously, Gu Yuan had told them about what happened in Azure Valley.
Ding Xiaozhu held Gu Yuan back and said softly, "Since she's the spy arranged by the expert, we must not attack!"
"Amitabha." Yuetu took out his kasaya and put it on himself, "I've changed my name again. I'm not the Venerable Yuetu anymore. It's better to call me Bodhisattva. Greetings, four almsgivers."
Gu Yuan and the other two quickly returned the greeting, "Greetings, Yuetu Bodhisattva. Are you here to visit the expert too?"
"Yes, I'm here to ask for the true scriptures from the expert. I want to learn from Sanzang Buddha and bring Buddhism to greater heights."
Yuetu nodded, then asked, "Do you know if Journey to the West was written by the expert?"
Gu Yuan nodded and said softly, "That's right. It's a story told by the expert. However, we're guessing that it's about something that happened in ancient times."
"I knew it! Almsgiver, we have the same idea. " Yuetu nodded, "There are many almighty beings in the world who have transcended the heavens and earth. They've lived for countless years and are used to the vicissitudes of life. How could the stories they told be fabricated? They must have experienced it before! "
Pei An asked curiously, "Yuetu Bodhisattva used to be a Demon. Do you know if the disappearance of Buddhism in the river of time has anything to do with the Demons?"
"It must have something to do with it." Yuetu nodded, "However, I don't know what exactly happened. I only joined the Demon Lord after the catastrophe."
Pei An nodded, "If you want to know the reason, I'm afraid you'll have to ask the expert."
Yuetu looked at the three of them and suddenly invited them, "The three of you, Buddhism used to be a great sect and was protected by the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Now that Buddhism has declined and our talents have withered, if you join Buddhism, you'll be the elders of Buddhism. When Buddhism becomes strong again, disciples will be everywhere and Qi of Heaven and Earth will be prosperous. Your statuses will naturally rise as well. When that time comes, you'll be bestowed with the title of Venerable Bodhisattva.
Gu Yuan and the other two were caught off guard. They could only smile awkwardly, "Haha, thank you for your kindness, Yuetu Bodhisattva, but there's no need for that."
"Amitabha, please don't leave. You have an affinity with Buddhism. Why don't you reconsider?"
