Chapter 234: Destiny Crystal

"Monk-Dao Guest!"

Meng Lingyun said in shock; he had not expected to see the Monk-Dao Guest at this time and in this place, as if he had suddenly popped out of nowhere.

Lie Dangkong and the others were also slightly surprised upon hearing this.

Aside from Ma Suxuan, the others secretly muttered to themselves: could this so-called Monk-Dao Guest who suddenly appeared be a friend of Meng Lingyun? However, they did not have to wonder for long, as they also noticed Li Heng's arrival and looked toward his side.

Qingxu felt a sense of relief in his heart; Li Heng had finally arrived.

Although he did not believe Li Heng could suppress such a massive spatial tremor single-handedly, he could at least help them shoulder some of the pressure and make things easier for them.

"Seeing that you are all struggling so much."

Li Heng said with a light laugh.

Immediately, the Great Sun Dharma Image and the Earth Dharma Image manifested together, erupting with power in unison, illuminating the world in all directions; the light reached far and wide, covering a radius of five hundred miles, the entire range of the spatial tremor.

In an instant, before the shocked gazes of everyone present.

The spatial tremor, which had still been extremely violent, actually slowly calmed down; with the strength of one person, he achieved a level that all of them together had previously been unable to reach!

"Isn't suppressing a spatial tremor something you can do with just a wave of your hand?"

Li Heng asked the crowd with some surprise.

Everyone remained silent.

Especially Lie Dangkong, who was in the Dharma Aspect Realm; he did not know what to say, and a sense of grief and indignation faintly stirred in his heart.

At this moment, after the Monk-Dao Guest entered the territory of Great Li, the confusion in his eyes gradually faded, returning to clarity; as his reason returned, he saw the crowd and was instantly stunned, frozen in place.

Where was he?

Why had he suddenly run to this place?

Wasn't he in Bei'an City before?

He looked at the crowd, even more confused. Why were that old man Meng and his wife here too? And this old man had actually become younger, his aura was extremely vigorous—was he already at the Innate stage?

The Monk-Dao Guest was completely dumbfounded, not understanding what was going on.

He had clearly been in Bei'an City the second before.

And the next second, he had arrived in this desolate mountain wilderness?

"Master Monk-Dao Guest, I trust you have been well; did you gain anything from this trip?" After easily suppressing the spatial tremor, Li Heng shifted his gaze to the Monk-Dao Guest, walked up to him, and asked with a light laugh.

He was particularly curious about the so-called Tianming Organization.

"I didn't expect that even Li Jushi would be here?"

The Monk-Dao Guest asked in confusion.

"A spatial tremor occurred in Beijun, so we naturally had to come to suppress these tremors; I didn't expect to run into you by chance, Master, it can be considered fate."

Li Heng smiled faintly.

"It just so happens that I haven't used the prayer bead Peach Wood Sword you gave me back then; let me return it to its original owner now." He took the prayer bead Peach Wood Sword he had stored away from his Space Ring and handed it to the Monk-Dao Guest.

The Monk-Dao Guest was even more bewildered.

This prayer bead Peach Wood Sword was indeed his.

But when had he ever given it to this Li Jushi?

He had no memory of this!

Wait, he frowned, suddenly realizing that things were not simple.

Could it be that he had a memory lapse?

"Jushi, to tell you the truth, I have no impression of this matter. My memory is still stuck in Bei'an City; at that time, you wanted to say a word to me, but the next moment I arrived here."

The Monk-Dao Guest said with a grave expression.

Li Heng was taken aback upon hearing this, his expression becoming increasingly subtle.

A memory lapse, having lost a segment of memory.

The word he had said to the Monk-Dao Guest back in Bei'an City must have been "Tianming." It was precisely because he had spoken the word Tianming that the Monk-Dao Guest had felt a mysterious intuition and decided to leave to find out what that intuition was all about.

Now, according to what the Monk-Dao Guest said.

Had he lost the memory from that point until now?

"It's you, you fake monk!"

Suddenly, Qingxu also noticed the presence of the Monk-Dao Guest, his expression shocked. He hurriedly flew in front of the Monk-Dao Guest, "You fake monk, return my sect's Town Luck Artifact!"

"Hmm? Who are you again? Do we know each other?"

The Monk-Dao Guest was stunned; he looked Qingxu up and down and shook his head.

"Don't know me? You're full of it! You swindled my sect's Town Luck Artifact, and now you want to deny it?" Qingxu had not been too agitated at first, but upon hearing the Monk-Dao Guest's words, his eyes turned red.

This commotion also attracted the others.

Anyway, the spatial tremor was now being suppressed by Li Heng's Dharma Aspect, and even Lie Dangkong, who was in the Dharma Aspect Realm, could not intervene, so he might as well lie flat and watch the show.

They did not make any noise, just watching quietly.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Heng could already guess the general situation.

"Daoist Qingxu, please calm down."

"Master Monk-Dao Guest has lost his memory."

Qingxu was stunned upon hearing this; this bald donkey had lost his memory. He carefully examined the Monk-Dao Guest, staring fixedly into the other's eyes, but found no ripples at all; he was very calm, as if he truly did not know him.

"This fellow Daoist, this poor monk has indeed lost his memory."

The Monk-Dao Guest nodded with a calm expression.

"What 'fellow Daoist'?"

"You bald donkey, what are you pretending to be a Daoist for?"

Qingxu was somewhat displeased.

If not for that bald donkey swindling the Town Luck Artifact of his sect, the phenomenon of chaotic Luck on his disciple would likely have been resolved long ago.

"This poor Daoist practices the fusion of Daoism and Buddhism, so what?"

Seng Daoke replied.

Upon hearing this, Qingxu's expression became increasingly strange.

"It seems you really have lost your memory. When I first met you, you were still quite respectful toward your Buddha, and would never have said such blasphemous things about the fusion of Daoism and Buddhism."

Li Heng pondered slightly upon hearing this.

Sure enough, Seng Daoke had lost his memory twice.

The Seng Daoke that Qingxu first met.

Was probably still a proper monk. Of course, he might have been proper on the surface but improper inside. A proper monk wouldn't have come up with the name Seng Daoke. Now that he dares to righteously claim he practices the fusion of Daoism and Buddhism, it is likely because his memory has vanished, leaving him without scruples.

It is equivalent to a newborn calf not fearing the tiger.

Later, for some reason, he lost his memory, forgot his past, came to Great Li, got to know Meng Lingyun, and became the person he had originally known, the one who didn't even remember his own name.

Then, after being reminded by him.

He knew his name was Seng Daoke and learned of the Heavenly Mandate.

Wait!

Could it be that both of Seng Daoke's memory losses are related to the Heavenly Mandate?

"Master, I know why you lost your memory."

Li Heng spoke slowly, his voice deep.

Afterward, he stated his guess.

However, to avoid Seng Daoke losing his memory a second time, he did not say the term "Heavenly Mandate," but instead used "that organization" as a code name.

Upon hearing this, Seng Daoke fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile, Qingxu's expression was extremely strange.

Isn't that organization just the Heavenly Mandate?

The Heavenly Mandate made this guy lose his memory?

But isn't this dead bald donkey a member of the Heavenly Mandate? Or is it that the Heavenly Mandate, in order to disappear, even wiped the memories of its own members to prevent the leakage of their tracks?

Goodness, this organization is so ruthless.

No wonder many people complain that they can never find the Heavenly Mandate organization and no one will tell their fortunes anymore; so that's why.

"The name of that organization, I..."

Qingxu considered it for a moment and spoke slowly.

But just as he wanted to say the word "Heavenly Mandate," he was directly interrupted by Li Heng. "Daoist Qingxu, I know it too, but it is not suitable to say it now. Let Master Seng Daoke think about it first."

Qingxu was taken aback and shut his mouth.

Fine, you have the bigger fist, so whatever you say goes.

It's just that the feeling of not being able to spoil the plot is really uncomfortable.

After a long while, Seng Daoke shook his head.

"Sorry, I still can't recall anything; my mind is completely blank. To be honest, if I didn't know you had no reason to lie to me, I would suspect that you knocked me out, brought me here, and wanted to tease me."

Seng Daoke gave a bitter smile.

Li Heng frowned.

Does this really require a keyword to trigger?

He knew very well that the key was likely that Heavenly Mandate. Of course, it is also possible that this keyword has already changed, since this belongs to the second memory loss.

"Don't you feel that you are different now compared to before?"

Li Heng asked aloud.

The reason he said this was that he felt Seng Daoke's aura seemed to be more than a little stronger than before, and others who had known Seng Daoke in the past nodded in succession.

Seng Daoke was stunned; it did seem to be the case.

Although his memory stopped at the time in Bei'an City, and he felt he had arrived here in the blink of an eye, his strength and aura were now far stronger than they were back in Bei'an City.

It's not like he could have become stronger in an instant, right?

He suddenly felt something hard on his person, hurriedly took it out, and placed it on his palm. It turned out to be a crystal-clear stone that refracted seven-colored light under the illumination of the Great Sun Dharma Image, looking somewhat dreamlike.

Seng Daoke was confused again; what kind of thing is this?

He could guarantee that he had never had this thing on him.

"Now I really believe I lost my memory."

"I definitely didn't have this crystal on me, but now it is inexplicably on me. It is very likely that I obtained it during my memory loss." Seng Daoke smiled bitterly.

With all kinds of evidence placed before him, he had to admit it.

Come to think of it, this couldn't be a prank.

After all, the Meng Lingyun he knew before was not yet an Innate.

But now, he is already a genuine Innate.

The most exaggerated one is Li Heng. At that time, he saw that Li Heng had good Luck, so he thought about investing without expecting a return; after all, he was a junior, and he didn't know when he would grow up.

But now, he can feel Li Heng's power.

Although he is still as mysterious as before, the feeling he gives him is different. If the mysterious Li Heng before was behind a fog, then the current mystery is unfathomable, like an abyss or the sea; he cannot touch the full picture!

Is Li Jushi actually the strongest existence among everyone?

A crystal?

Li Heng frowned; he felt this crystal was not simple.

"Master, may I borrow it for a look?"

He spoke in a slow voice.

Perhaps some important information was hidden within this crystal.

The monk-guest nodded upon hearing this and handed the crystal to Li Heng.

The current Li Jushi seemed even more unfathomable than the old man beside him, who was as scorching as the Sun; perhaps he truly had a way to investigate the truth of this matter.

No one wanted to lose their memory for no apparent reason.

Li Heng looked at the crystal in his hand.

With a thought, the Data Panel appeared before him.

He began the Appraisal of this crystal.
