Chapter 261: 【Ruling the Undying Mountain】

"May I ask what is the relationship between the World Honored One and Emperor Amitabha?" Gai Jiuyou stepped forward to ask.

"I don't know if Emperor Amitabha dreamed of this old monk, or if this old monk dreamed of Emperor Amitabha." The gray-clothed monk sighed: "Perhaps, Amitabha achieved the Dao in a dream."

Achieving the Dao in a dream, this term made everyone stunned, especially Lin Xian and Ye Fan, whose expressions were extremely strange.

"A butterfly dancing?" Ye Fan couldn't help but mutter, thinking of Zhuangzi, Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, obtaining great freedom and great ease.

"Achieving the Dao in a dream..."

What Lin Xian thought of was a lot. Since Zhen Ding Tathagata could come over, what about Amitabha, who is also the most ancient?

Just like the strongest in the Immortal Emperor, sublimation to the extreme, turning into Sacrificial Dao, can be called an Immortal Dao Heavenly Emperor. 【

Between the Other Shores, there are also strengths and weaknesses; the most powerful among them are known as the Most Ancient.

The Most Ancient trace back to before the creation of the world, reaching the root of time, truly transcending time, and possessing the ability to extract the root of time and recreate the world.

If the Most Ancient were to return to before the creation and choose to destroy the world, shattering the river of time and annihilating the multiverse, the Other Shore beings would be erased and die in their cradles, yet the Most Ancient would still exist, independent in the chaos.

In other words, if the Most Ancient did not wish to transcend or compete for the Dao fruit, they could simply flip the table and kill the Other Shore beings fair and square.

Such powerhouses, since the transcendence of the Three Pure Ones and the Dao Venerable of the Other Shore universe, are limited to Meng Qi, Amitabha, and the Wa Emperor.

Both Zhen Ding Tathagata and Amitabha have backup plans, so what about the Wa Emperor?

Lin Xian thought of his own suddenly awakened Fuxi bloodline. He is a Hundred Schools Immortal with the blood of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors; why didn't the blood of Hengyu or Void awaken?

Even after he refined the Jiang family's holy blood, it only made his bloodline purer and increased his foundation and lifespan, but there was no limit to returning to the ancestors.

Only the Fuxi bloodline, with the human-head and dragon-body manifestation, achieved this quietly?

At this thought, Lin Xian stepped forward and bowed, asking: "May I ask, World Honored One, why are you heading to the Undying Mountain? Is it to settle karma with that Venerable?"

"In the past, when Emperor Amitabha attained the Dao, he bathed in the karmic fire and lotus beneath the Bodhi tree, forged a sixteen-foot golden body, and took the ultimate leap to cross the Emperor Tribulation. The Undying Mountain Venerable, the Kong Que Emperor, intervened, hunting dragons across the universe and swallowing blood to extend his life."

"The Kong Que Emperor is a Forbidden Zone Venerable who loves to eat people. He once launched a dark turmoil and swallowed Emperor Amitabha into his belly in one gulp, preparing to refine him."

"Fortunately, Emperor Amitabha's golden body was already complete and eternal. Although he had not yet attained the Dao, his combat power was comparable to a Great Completion Holy Body. He directly tore open the Kong Que's back, suppressed this Venerable, and successfully crossed the Emperor Tribulation."

"After attaining the Dao, Emperor Amitabha wanted to kill the Kong Que Emperor but was dissuaded by the Buddhas, because Emperor Amitabha once made a great vow never to kill a single person."

"Emperor Amitabha then brought the Kong Que Emperor back to Lingshan to be sealed, intending to use the power of faith to convert him into my Ming King Great Protector."

"While Emperor Amitabha was alive, the Kong Que Emperor was devoted to the Buddhist Dharma, swore never to eat people again, and actively followed Emperor Amitabha to suppress several dark turmoils, even killing one Venerable."

"The Buddhas thought the Kong Que Emperor had abandoned evil for good, so they titled him the Kong Que Great Ming King. Yet, who would have thought that tens of thousands of years after Emperor Amitabha passed away, this Venerable would betray the Buddhist sect and flee into the Undying Mountain."

Amitabha recounted this past event and said leisurely: "Now that the road to immortality is about to open, this old monk intends to go to the Undying Mountain to investigate."

The Kong Que Emperor had clearly converted and actively pacified dark turmoils; why did he betray the Buddhist sect again?

Lin Xian also furrowed his brows. The Venerables who launched dark turmoils in later generations did not include this Kong Que Emperor.

He must be one of the nameless Venerables who died on the road to immortality.

If it were only to wait for the road to immortality to open, he could have gone together with Emperor Amitabha's divine self.

The grievances involved are likely known only to the parties involved.

"You all go to the Undying Mountain; I will wait at the Holy Cliff with fellow Daoist Amitabha."

Gai Jiuyou said calmly. The Holy Cliff is not exactly far from the Undying Mountain; it is practically right on its doorstep.

In the past, the Great Completion Holy Body carved out the Holy Cliff from the Undying Mountain and established his dojo there specifically to monitor the Undying Mountain, deter the Forbidden Zone Venerables, and warn them against launching dark turmoils.

The location of the Holy Cliff, for the Undying Mountain Venerables, is right at their front door, making it convenient for Gai Jiuyou and Amitabha to provide rescue at any time.

"There are probably three Venerables in the Undying Mountain, and we are still missing one Emperor weapon."

Gai Jiuyou had the Chaos Green Lotus above his head, and Amitabha held the Demon-Subduing Pestle. After calculating, they looked toward the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Tripod, the Immortal Iron Rod, and the God-Sealing List.

Three pieces are not enough; they need to pull in more support, considering the worst-case scenario.

"Which holy land in the Eastern Wasteland should we go to?"

"The Ji family."

The answer was obvious. The decree was passed down, and the Ji family Sage arrived just then.

Upon learning that the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect intended to test the depths of the Undying Mountain, the Ji family did not hesitate in the slightest and actively brought out the Void Mirror.

No matter who attacks the Undying Mountain, the Void Mirror will definitely help out.

Other Forbidden Zones are one thing, but the Ji family and the Undying Mountain are mortal enemies with a life-or-death relationship. If the Undying Mountain Venerables were to emerge, their first act would be to blood-wash the Ji family.

The Fighting Victorious Buddha carried the Immortal Iron Rod, Lin Xian had the Dragon-Patterned Black Gold Tripod, the Wu Shi Bell replaced the God-Sealing List to suppress the Undying Daoist, the God-Sealing List was wrapped around the Black Emperor like a garment, and finally, the Void Mirror hung high, aimed at the mouth of the Undying Mountain.

"Rotate!"

With a shake of the Void Mirror, immortal light flowed, and everyone instantly arrived outside the Undying Mountain.

The Emperor Mirror's spirit informed Lin Xian that its aura was too sensitive, as it had killed more than one Undying Mountain Venerable.

If the Void Emperor Mirror were to enter the Undying Mountain, the Venerables within would immediately react aggressively. It could only linger nearby, prepared to open a void passage at any moment to receive everyone.

"Understood."

Lin Xian nodded, then shifted his gaze to look at the black mountain range not far away.

That mountain range was imposing and majestic, standing tall as if it had existed since the beginning of time. Each peak could be called a King of Mountains or an Emperor of Peaks, with a grand and magnificent aura.

It was lush and green, covered in ancient trees, appearing full of vitality, with some lakes dotting the terrain, yet they could hardly conceal the inherent pitch-black color of the land.

This is the Undying Mountain Forbidden Zone, which is one with the Holy Cliff!

The Life Forbidden Zone was covered in Great Emperor array patterns, and each black mountain emitted a world-shaking aura.

With every step forward, one could feel the terrifying aura intensify, making one's heart uneasy, as if slowly approaching a supreme and terrifying existence.

"The Tianxuan Holy Land battles the Forbidden Zone again."

Lin Xian took a deep breath, standing before the mountain, poised like a deep pool or a towering peak, his gaze extremely brilliant, possessing an indescribable temperament.

Six thousand years ago, the Tianxuan Holy Master dared to attack the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Zone; six thousand years later, the Tianxuan Holy Master descends upon the Undying Mountain.

He, Lin Xian, is not inferior to anyone in his life!

"Holy Master, are we going or not?" the Black Emperor shouted, extremely dissatisfied as he watched Lin Xian posing and showing off.

"Another Venerable is about to return."

"Really?" Lin Xian pretended to be overjoyed, bowed and said: "May I ask what holy art it is, Daoist?"

"Xing Zi Mi and Lin Zi Mi." The Undying Daoist smiled slightly: "You don't have to be afraid, this poor Daoist is about to sit and transform, leaving only a divine thought, buried in the Immortal Source. I want to go out to fulfill a wish, and have no malice."

"A few little friends, you don't want the legendary Nine Secrets to be lost, do you."
