Chapter 248: 【The World

Initially, Saint Ye intended to endure for a few years, wait for Lin Xian, the Holy Master of Tianxuan, to leave, and then slander him to the Great Sage Wei Yi. By boiling the frog in warm water, he would quietly seize the actual power of the Tianxuan Holy Land and become a true Holy Master.

Once he became the Holy Master, even within the Eastern Wasteland Heavenly Court, he would have a certain degree of authority, no longer a puppet Huang Tiandi ruling in name only.

Inheriting an Imperial Weapon, marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman, and becoming the Lord of the Heavenly Court—how pleasant that sounded.

He never expected that Holy Master Lin was a ruthless man. He simply quit the perfectly good position of Holy Master and ran off to the Western Desert to become a Buddha.

With this, Lin Xian no longer faced the risk of being usurped, while Ye Fan, sitting in the seat of the Tianxuan Holy Master, had to worry every day whether a third-generation Tianxuan Saint would come to replace him.

"Holy Body, you must focus your mind on the Heavenly Court and keep the Great Universe in your heart. Do not covet that tiny plot of land in the Tianxuan Holy Land."

"I have told you, do not say I did not warn you."

Lin Xian coughed and said, holding the Dao Map, appearing like a Heavenly King descending to the mortal world, suppressing the Huang Tiandi.

Ye Fan's expression was gloomy, his fists clenched, and he was shivering with rage. Could this world get any better? Everyone was persecuting the Holy Body.

In the Great Universe, how could there be such a thing as a Dao Map!

"None of those who play with maps are good people." Ye Fan looked at the map-holding Heavenly Wang Lin Xian and secretly swore that if he became a Great Emperor in the future, he would definitely shatter all the Dao Maps in the Great Universe and modify the laws of the Great Dao, changing the shapes of the maps into swords and blades.

The Fighting Buddha shook his head at the sight. What a sin.

To be saddled with someone like Lin Xian was truly the "blessing" of the Holy Body Ye.

"Hahaha... This Emperor has succeeded! This Emperor has succeeded!"

Just as everyone was deep in thought, a sudden, extremely arrogant laughter rang out. The big black dog stood upright, clamoring to defy the heavens. While comprehending the Nine Secrets, it ran back and forth like a human, and it had actually evolved the true meaning.

This secret touched upon the domain of time and was incomparably profound. Even if a Quasi-Emperor spent an entire lifetime, they might not be able to comprehend it fully.

"Holy crap, that works too!"

Ye Fan was dumbfounded. The Master Master Hei Huang had actually successfully practiced the Xing Zi Mi. Was there any justice left in the world?

"It has a deep foundation; this is no longer its first life." The Fighting Buddha's expression was calm. He had seen the Master Master Hei Huang two thousand years ago, and at that time, this dog was already a Demon Sage.

Now, having broken and rebuilt itself, although it remained despicable, shameless, and sinister, its talent was truly extraordinary.

Lin Xian often teased that the Master Master Hei Huang was the son of Emperor Wu Shi. Although there was an element of joking, it also indirectly proved that the big black dog was definitely not a piece of trash.

The Master Master Hei Huang's speed became faster and faster, eventually almost turning into a black shadow, nearly invisible.

It was extremely arrogant. With all its black fur shed, it ran naked while standing upright and shouted: "Damn it, in order to master the Xing Zi Mi, I will run on two legs from now on. I must defy the heavens!"

"The Nine Secrets have been passed down through the ages for a reason. Although the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables were not all human, the secret techniques they left behind are all suitable for human-shaped beings to practice."

The Fighting Buddha whispered: "Walking on two legs, transcending time—how blessed the human race is. The form that only the Primordial Kings possessed, you are born with."

The human form, or rather the Innate Dao Body, is the most suitable physique for cultivation.

In the Great Universe, there are tens of thousands of races, all in different shapes, but after becoming Sages, they all transform into the human form. It is not because it looks good, but because the human form is the most suitable for cultivation.

"Perhaps the blessings of our ancestors, or perhaps the being who created the method of cultivation was human, which is why the human race has such great fortune in later generations."

Lin Xian said leisurely: "Not every human has a physique comparable to a transformed Primordial King. The vast majority of living beings are mortal bodies. Many mortals never see a cultivator in their entire lives, and do not even know the threshold of cultivation."

"Between gain and loss, there is balance."

The Fighting Buddha pondered deeply. Could the source of the Secret Realm method truly have been created by a human Dao Ancestor, blessing all races for later generations, which is why the human race has such great luck today?

"To know the cause of the previous life, look at what you are experiencing in this life; to know the cause of the next life, look at what you are doing in this life."

Lin Xian shook his head. The Great Dao of Karma is mysterious. It is not that the Shrouding the Heavens Great Universe lacks karmic reincarnation, but that the karmic reincarnation is too deep and heavy.

The web of karma is too dense, suffocating people. Reincarnation involves too much, affecting the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, and involving countless epochs.

This is why people in later generations do not recognize reincarnation, do not believe in karma, and are incredibly stubborn, relying on a pair of fists to break the firmament.

The water is too deep. If one were to acknowledge reincarnation and believe in karma, one might truly become another person, which is in itself a great terror.

"Master Lin, how do you view karma and reincarnation?"

Ye Fan asked seriously for once, because there had been too many coincidences lately, almost shaking his Dao heart.

"If there are benefits, it is naturally the blessing of the previous life and the fortune of the future."

Lin Xian rolled his eyes and spread his hands: "If there were no benefits, I would have to cut off the past, sever the future, and be the only one supreme in heaven and on earth."

Ye Fan gasped. This shameless statement truly fit Lin Xian's temperament.

This was also a kind of invincible Great Dao.

"Just like now, I feel that my talent for running away is the best in the world. That must be because I accumulated merit in my previous life, benefiting this life."

Lin Xian said leisurely, took a step, and turned into a stream of light, as if time were flying by, completely invisible to the naked eye.

Xing Zi Mi, mastered!

"There is no justice!" Ye Fan sighed to the sky. Although he knew Lin Xian's talent for running away was good, he did not expect it to be this good—he truly learned it at a glance.

If the Xiaoyao Yuanshi Yuanshi Tianzun saw this scene, he would probably run out of the Reincarnation Sea to take him as a disciple personally.

"Big brother, is it like this?"

Little Nan Nan was also observing curiously. Finally, she couldn't help but mimic the movements, took a step with her little feet, and disappeared from the spot with a 'whoosh'.

She had also learned the Xing Zi Mi.

The Fighting Buddha was very calm. It was the Great Emperor's Dao Fruit, after all; it would be abnormal if she couldn't learn it.

Ye Fan, however, was extremely uneasy because Lin Xian flew back as a stream of light, smiling like a cat that had caught a mouse: "Little Ye, with so many of us here, who do you think still doesn't know the Xing Zi Mi?"

Ye Fan pulled a long face, coughed, and changed the subject: "Little Nan Nan, don't run around. The Holy Cliff is very dangerous."

"Even a living Great Emperor might not be able to beat her, so don't worry about Little Nan Nan's safety." Lin Xian interrupted and pressed: "Xing Zi Mi, do you know it? If not, I will teach you."

Hard, hard, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Fist is hard.

Ye Fan gritted his teeth. His talent was all in combat comprehension; it was not the same as the running-away party like the Master Master Hei Huang and Lin Xian.

"So scary..."

At this moment, Little Nan Nan's crying voice rang out, her eyes filled with tears, as if she had been frightened by something.

Everyone turned around abruptly. Gai Jiuyou, who was in the shadows, perked up, eager to try. Had the Undying Daoist run out?

"Before fighting the Green Emperor, let me practice on you first!"
