"Investiture of the Gods" was a story told by Li Nianfan, so everyone was naturally familiar with it. Ziye would often review it. After all, this was a story about the appearance of the Heavenly Palace.
However, this matter was not mentioned in the story, so everyone could not help but be shocked. "The fourth odd one is the son of the Qilin?"
"Should be …."
Li Nianfan was also a little uncertain. Myths and legends were a little complicated, so he could not be sure if it was completely consistent with this world.
After a pause, he continued, "This is a long story. When the heavens and earth were first separated, the four innate elements of earth, water, fire, and wind stabilized the Eldritch Universe. The four innate elements gradually evolved into chaotic divine beasts, which were the Ancestral Dragon, the Primordial Phoenix, and the First Qilin.
They were respectively in charge of scales, of the sea, of the birds, of the sky, and of the earth. "
"What happened after that?"
Huo Feng looked at Li Nianfan, her voice trembling.
Even Long'er stared at Li Nianfan without blinking, her big eyes blinking, full of curiosity.
She often stayed in the backyard, wanting to ask her ancestor about ancient matters, but her ancestor was unwilling to say, afraid that it would attract the attention of the Heavenly Axiom.
Brother was still the best. He could say whatever he wanted and scold whatever he wanted, and the Heavenly Axiom did not come looking for him.
This was the history of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Races!
"After that …" Li Nianfan paused, then said, "The three races were born with the fortune of the heavens and earth, and were born at the peak. In order to seize control of the Eldritch Universe, a chaotic battle broke out. This battle caused the heavens and earth to darken, and the sun and moon lost their light. It even shattered the chaotic Eldritch Universe into pieces, and all living things were plunged into misery and suffering."
Long'er opened her mouth wide in shock, her face full of disbelief. "It was actually so powerful …."
Her ancestor, who was so cowardly, actually had such a glorious history?
"Of course it was powerful. After all, it was a divine beast that was born with the heavens and earth."
Li Nianfan returned to the topic. "The three races were in a chaotic battle, and all three were defeated, causing a great disaster. As a result, they were punished by the heavens and earth, and their fortune greatly decreased, and began to fall from the peak. In order to preserve the fortune of the race, the First Qilin allowed its son, the Odd One, to join the Investiture of the Gods and become Jiang Ziya's mount. and made a great wish wish that the appearance of the Qilin, there would be auspicious signs. of auspicious signs."
"So that's how it is." Everyone looked enlightened and shocked at the same time.
Although the story was short, the world, the world, the world, it, the world, it, it, it, it was a grand world, a world.
Ziye took a deep breath and said, "The Qilin Race is so powerful. No wonder they are so ambitious. It seems that after becoming a god, they never came out again. It turns out that they colluded with the Demon Race."
Li Nianfan looked at Ziye. Suddenly, he had an idea. He asked curiously, "Fairy Ziye, you said you were going to rebuild the Heavenly Palace. How's the progress?"
Ziye did not dare to hide anything. She said directly, "Young Master Li, we have found the Heavenly Palace."
"You found the Heavenly Palace?"
Li Nianfan was stunned for a moment, and then he was shocked.
He didn't expect that he would receive such a shocking piece of news just by casually asking.
It was the Heavenly Palace! It came just like that?
Then, were the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, Taishang Laojun, Yue Lao, and the other immortals still there?
He looked at Ziye, and felt his heart beating faster. He confirmed, "You really found the Heavenly Palace?"
Ziye nodded. She hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to be honest. She said, "Young Master Li, actually, I am the seventh adopted daughter of the Queen Mother of the Heavenly Palace. I did not mean to hide it before. I am really sorry."
Li Nianfan was stunned again. Although surprised, his reaction was much smaller. He had already seen that Ziye's temperament was not that of an ordinary immortal.
"The seventh adopted daughter, is that the Seven Fairies?"
Ziye nodded weakly.
Good girl.
She actually met the Seven Fairies and made friends.
Li Nianfan stared at Ziye. He wanted to ask Ziye if she knew Dong Yong, but he thought better of it.
He remembered that when he first learned of the existence of immortals, he wondered if the Seven Fairies would fall from the sky. He did not expect to see them.
Ziye was stared at by Li Nianfan. Her face suddenly turned red, and her heart beat wildly. She did not know whether to hide or bravely look back.
Li Nianfan came back to his senses and continued to ask, "Are there any immortals in the Heavenly Palace?"
Ziye nodded, and then shook her head. Her face was full of sorrow.
She said in a low voice, "There used to be, but now … the immortals in the Heavenly Palace have been sealed."
"So that's how it is." Li Nianfan nodded. He was not surprised. After all, there were not many who could survive the great calamity.
He could not help but fall into deep thought.
What kind of immortal cultivation world had he come to? This was obviously a great purge. Could it be that he was at the end of the mythical story?
If this continued, he suspected that even immortal cultivators would disappear from the world. When that time came, would the world only be left with mortals? Then … would it evolve again and finally develop technology?
Damn, could it really be like this?
Li Nianfan shook his head. He felt that his imagination was running wild.
Whether it was true or not, it had nothing to do with him. The most important thing was to live in the present.
He licked his lips and could not help but ask, "Then … can I go and take a look?"
This was the Heavenly Palace. Since he was here, he had to take a look.
Under Li Nianfan's gaze, Ziye nodded. "Of course, Young Master Li is the Deluxe Merit Saint Body. He can go anywhere."
Li Nianfan was immediately proud. "That's good, that's good!"
After a simple reminiscence, Yuetu enthusiastically suggested that everyone visit Spirit Mountain.
Li Nianfan gladly accepted.
With the explanation and tour guide, Li Nianfan suddenly had a deeper understanding of Spirit Mountain. Moreover, because she wanted to perform well in front of Li Nianfan, Yuetu described her future plans and grand scenery.
Spirit Mountain … was much bigger than he had imagined.
In Yuetu's description, there were many undulating mountains. In the future, every mountain would be a Buddhist temple. It would change the world, raise the mountains, pluck the white clouds, and turn this place into a Buddhist kingdom.
This goal could not be said to be not grand. Li Nianfan looked at the endless mountains and found it hard to imagine how glorious it would be. It was probably close to the most glorious time of Buddhism.
At present, the development of Buddhism was on the right track. There were many disciples, and there were many monks in the temple. Moreover, all of them were cultivators. Its scale had long surpassed that of an ordinary sect.
At this moment, everyone arrived at a courtyard in the backyard of the main hall. This courtyard was surrounded by maple trees, but they were not affected by the season. The branches and leaves were still lush. The strange thing was that the leaves were all yellow and drifted with the wind. They continuously fell into the courtyard and danced in the air, covering the ground with thick layers of leaves.
In the courtyard, a little monk was holding a broom that was taller than him and sweeping the fallen leaves on the ground.
Nanna found it amusing and could not help but laugh. "Little monk, can you finish sweeping like this?"
The little monk stopped. When he saw everyone, he immediately put down the broom and jogged over. "I can finish sweeping. Senior Brother Jiese said that when I'm done sweeping these leaves, he'll be back."
Nanna laughed. "Little monk, you're so silly. He's obviously teasing you."
"You're lying!" The little monk was very serious as he defended his Senior Brother. "Senior Brother Jiese never lies."
Nanna pursed her lips. "Your Senior Brother is not a proper monk."
Everyone had been with Jiese for a long time and naturally knew his character. In some aspects, he was indeed not a proper monk.
Yuetu said, "Alright, Jie Chi, hurry up and greet the guests."
"Amitabha. Greetings, Benefactors." Jie Chi put his palms together and looked at Yuetu expectantly. "Bodhisattva, is Senior Brother Jiese back?"
Yuetu said, "You're not done sweeping the leaves. Of course, he's not back."
"Oh." Jie Chi lowered his head in disappointment. He turned around again and went back to sweeping.
Yuetu looked at the little monk and introduced him. "He's an orphan who was left at the entrance of the Xishan Temple. His understanding of Buddhism is on par with Jiese's. He doesn't have many obstacles in his life but he's obsessed with it."
Li Nianfan nodded. "So you let him sweep the floor and hope that this will resolve his obsession?"
"Young Master Li hit the nail on the head. That's indeed the case." Yuetu nodded. "Jiese took him under his wing and the two of them have a very good relationship."
Li Nianfan looked deeply at the courtyard. He felt that the little monk and the maple leaves formed a beautiful picture that could easily calm one's heart.
Suddenly, he saw a tree near the entrance of the courtyard. It was as tall as a person and its canopy was like a canopy. Its leaves formed a triangle and were extremely green. It was a stark contrast to the yellowed maple leaves.
He said, "That's a Bodhi tree, right?"
Yuetu said, "Yes. I remember Young Master Li mentioning that this tree has an affinity with Buddhism. That's why it was planted everywhere."
"They do have some affinity."
Then, everyone stayed at Spirited Mountain.
On the fourth day, Yuetu came early to invite Li Nianfan. The ceremony was about to begin.
"Dang, dang, dang …"
The morning bell rang nine times. Many of the monks were already prepared. They stood at their designated positions and put their palms together. They looked solemn.
Li Nianfan and the others were in the square. As witnesses, they didn't need to do anything. Simply put, they were there to make up the number of people and make a show of it. When they returned, they might even be able to advertise and promote it.
After all, having a witness was completely different from quietly establishing one's own organization.
Many of the monks were well-prepared. It was very ritualistic. After a series of procedures, Yuetu began to give his speech.
On another mountain not far away, over a hundred black shadows had gathered silently. They were led by the Great Demon King, and they were looking in the direction of the Buddhist sect with narrowed eyes. Their eyes were filled with a tyrannical aura.
The Great Demon smiled coldly and said excitedly, "Haha, Lord Demon has a way. With this, Buddhism will definitely cease to exist!"
Beside him, a Demon Envoy immediately shouted, "Even if the Buddhist believers were all over the Primordial World and the Buddha presided over them, they were still wiped out by us. Now, this is not worth mentioning. It's a piece of cake!"
"Well said!" The Great Demon immediately looked at him approvingly. "What's your name?"
The demon envoy was excited. He said, "Lord Demon King, I'm Mo Yun."
"You're not bad. You're much better than Houmo and Hamon." The Great Demon was very satisfied. Then, he angrily scolded, "They were scared out of their wits and didn't dare to come to the mortal world. They're simply cowards!"
Mo Yun nodded repeatedly. "Lord Demon King is right. We Demons are invincible. We've always been fearless!"
"Hahaha, fearless is a good word! You're to my liking. We Demons need talents like you! "The Great Demon was even more satisfied.
Mo Yun's blood rushed to his head. He could not wait to rush out and perform. "Lord Demon King, what are we waiting for? Let's kill everyone in Buddhism!"
"Wait! You're crazy! "
The Great Demon pulled Mo Yun back and frowned. "Don't you see that the Deluxe Merit Saint is sitting in our direction? Let's go. Follow me and change direction before we kill our way out. "
Immediately, hundreds of black shadows moved together, moving from this mountain to the opposite mountain.
"Lord Demon King, let's kill our way out!" Mo Yun began again. He was ready to rush out in the next second.
"Okay, we Demons are not afraid of anything! It's time to show our bravery as Demons! "The Great Demon narrowed his eyes and said in a serious voice," Everyone, get ready. Follow me … "
At the same time, Yuetu's speech was coming to an end. "Here, I would like to sincerely thank someone. He is Young Master Li. He was the one who gave me the inspiration to establish Buddhism. Without him, the Yuetu would not be what it is today. Please allow me to invite him to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Spirited Mountain!"
"Clap, clap, clap." There was applause.
Li Nianfan was stunned for a moment. Then, he stood up with a bitter smile. He did not expect that he would have a chance to perform today.
"Wait a little longer!"
The Great Demon's heart trembled. He was so flustered that he shouted for a pause.
"The Deluxe Merit Saint is going to cut the ribbon. I, The Great Demon, am willing to give him face. Let's wait until he leaves the stage."
Li Nianfan took the scissors. He was not afraid. He smiled at the crowd. "Thank you, Yuetu Bodhisattva, for your invitation. I won't decline."
Then, he casually cut the red cloth on the plaque. The words "Spirited Mountain of Western Heaven" were printed on it.
"Clap, clap, clap." There was another round of applause.
The ceremony was coming to an end.
After Li Nianfan was done cutting, he did not return to his original position. Instead, he stood on the other side.
The Great Demon felt suffocated. He gritted his teeth. "Let's go. Everyone, follow me and change direction."
