The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 248: Shi Daosheng sacrificed himself! Zhang Daoling chopped the sacred mountain with his sword! (asking for monthly votes)

Lu Chen bowed: "Senior Brother, take care."

Lu Chen returned to the courtyard with a heart full of doubts.

When Zhongli Quan and the other two saw Lu Chen's state, they didn't ask what Lu Chen had been doing just now.

Lu Chen's mind is very confused now. He thought that everything should be over, so why did so many things pop up again?

He went straight to the roof, staring blankly at Hulu Mountain not far away.

And this sitting lasted for three days and three nights.

Zhongli Quan was a little worried.

Bai Weng said: "I'm afraid the Taoist priest has encountered some difficulties."

Zhongli Quan said: "No matter how difficult the problem is, it won't make him like this."

He knew that Lu Chen liked to think about things, and he would plan before doing anything.

And now that everything is over, and Lu Chen is like this again, something must have happened.

In the dark night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Lu Chen sat cross-legged on top of the thatched hut.

A red figure slowly descended from the sky and landed next to Lu Chen.

"Master, what happened to you these days?"

The little butterfly asked cautiously.

"Nothing, just some issues I haven't figured out."

Lu Chen said slowly: "Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

It wasn't like he had done nothing but think about problems during those three days.

While he was working hard to practice and consolidate his cultivation, he was also trying to find a way to refine the Jade Ruyi.

It’s just a pity that Yu Ruyi still didn’t react at all.

Lu Chen was not surprised. After all, this was a treasure that even the Golden Snake Goddess had not fully refined.

As for cultivation, because of the innate inspiration from the surrounding environment, it stabilized quickly. However, the next step of cultivating all of one's energy and spirit to the extreme is not something that can be done overnight.

So during these three days, Lu Chen actually did not gain much in any aspect.

And during these three days, no one came in, which also meant that Cheng Gongxing and others had completely completed the blockade of Hulu Mountain.

Little Butterfly sat down next to Lu Chen, held up her cheek and looked at Hulu Mountain in a daze: "Master, actually I have never told you something."

"Hmm?" Lu Chen looked at the little butterfly.

The latter stared at Hulu Mountain with a sad look on her face. "When the Green Snake King attacked Donglin Temple, I was captured by him. He took me in as a maid and attacked Donglin Temple together. Later, Huiyong, a bald monk from Donglin Temple, found my scent on Zhaodi and prepared to capture her. I got the news and went to help, but I was a step too late."

Lu Chen's expression remained unchanged. He went to Qingfeng Lane to look for him, but didn't find many people. In fact, he already had a hunch.

Even Lu Chen could use the Heluo technique to deduce it.

I just don't want to really know about this matter.

Little Butterfly was about to cry: "I carried Zhaodi and fled the city, but I failed to protect her. She died in my arms. Before she died, Zhaodi said that the happiest thing in her life was to become her parents' daughter. Although she was a daughter, her parents loved her very much."

"And the second happy thing is that she met me and you, Taoist priest. She said that we made her appreciate the miraculous things in the world. She may have seen things that the high officials of the court have not seen."

"She also said that you told her that there will actually be reincarnation in this world. Once reincarnation appears, people will no longer be afraid of death."

As he spoke, a string of tears rolled down his cheeks.

Lu Chen was silent.

Reincarnation, this is what he thought. His previous lack of knowledge made him believe that reincarnation existed in this world.

Even Zhongli Quan had actively worked for this matter.

However, things are changing too fast, and it is highly unlikely that reincarnation will appear now...

"Zhao Di... do you believe in reincarnation?" Lu Chen's voice was a little hoarse, and the image of the girl appeared in his mind.

"She believes you, so she thinks so."

Little Butterfly wiped her tears, turned to Lu Chen and smiled, "Zhao Di said that the happiest time of her life was the time when she met you and me, because she envied us, who were like gods and immortals, who could do whatever we wanted, without any constraints, and were free, and would never fall into confusion and pain."

After hearing this, Lu Chen was silent: "A god-like existence, in Zhao Di's eyes, can it be free from restraint?"

He smiled bitterly in his mind.

As immortals, they also have their own constraints and helplessness. Sometimes they feel confused and in pain...

Because no matter if they are immortals or gods, they all have the character "人" in their name...

Suddenly, Lu Chen was stunned.

"Yes, Zhaodi is not a fairy, she doesn't know these things, so she thinks we fairies are carefree."

There were tears in the little butterfly's eyes.

But this time, she got no response.

She turned to look at Lu Chen, who was still in a daze.

"Taoist Priest..."

Little Butterfly was about to call Lu Chen, but was stopped by Zhongli Quan who suddenly appeared beside her.

"Don't disturb Uncle Master."

Zhongli Quan said solemnly: "Master is now gaining enlightenment."

"Enlightenment?"

The little butterfly looked confused.

She didn't know what enlightenment was because she had never experienced it.

Zhongli Quan nodded, but there was still some hesitation in his expression.

The feeling that Lu Chen gave him was indeed enlightenment.

But... Lu Chen's cultivation at this time did not make any progress at all.

"Is it about realm?"

Zhongli Quan thought so, but he took the little butterfly away without disturbing Lu Chen.

Not long after Zhongli Quan left, Lu Chen's eyes suddenly became clear.

"Yes... Summer insects cannot talk about ice. People who are not immortals think that immortals are free and unfettered."

Lu Chen suddenly understood something.

Mortals do not know the troubles of immortals and gods, and ordinary immortals and gods...how can they know about the peerless demon, or even the shackles of the years?
Lu Chen's eyes flickered.

He glanced at Hulu Mountain and took a deep breath: "Zhao Di, thank you."

If Little Butterfly hadn't explained what Xiao Zhaodi said, he might not have figured out these problems.

With a little inspiration, Lu Chen finally figured out the problem that he had been unable to figure out for three days.

Then he looked at the little butterfly again, then turned his gaze back and stared at Hulu Mountain.

"It's time for this world to change!"

……

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

Outside Hulu Mountain, Cheng Gongxing, Yin Changsheng and Zhang Ling were standing on a hillside.

Behind the three people, there were more than a dozen figures standing.

If someone comes over to take a look, they will definitely find that the figures behind these three people are all big figures in Taoism and Buddhism!

Kou Qianzhi, the Heavenly Master of the Northern Heavenly Master, Zhang Hui, the new Heavenly Master of the Southern Heavenly Master, the Ma brothers of the Shangqing Sect, Xu Lingqi of the Lingbao Sect, and many other holy monks and eminent monks in the Buddhist community.

The great Taoist and Buddhist masters all stood respectfully behind the three people.

Only seven days had passed in Hulu Mountain, but seven years had already passed in the outside world.

During these seven years, Cheng Gongxing and others have completed the grand unification of the cultivation world.

"Has the Liu Song royal family dealt with it?"

Cheng Gongxing looked at Zhang Ling.

The latter nodded: "Liu Yilong is quite sensible and has been very cooperative over the years."

Yin Changsheng looked at the two and smiled, "I've said it before, I can just go over there and replace the emperor for them, right? Why is it so troublesome?"

Cheng Gongxing ignored him.

Zhang Ling sneered, "What do you know! The Ascension Array relies on the luck of the human world. The death of the emperor is not a big deal, but the death of the emperor will definitely cause fluctuations in the luck of the human world. Now, we cannot allow any problems to occur."

"hehe!"

Yin Changsheng just smiled lightly and said nothing more.

"The time is almost up."

Cheng Gongxing stared at Hulu Mountain in front of him with an expressionless face.

I saw that Hulu Mountain was beginning to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Get ready."

Cheng Gongxing said.

As the voice fell, a group of Taoist and Buddhist masters behind him bowed and flew away one by one, returning to their respective positions.

Cheng Gongxing turned his gaze to the two figures on the side.

They were Daosheng and Zong Bing. Although the former still looked old and frail, he seemed to be in high spirits.

The latter is different. Although Zong Bing is only in his early forties, his spirit and energy give people the feeling that he is in his seventies or eighties.

"Sorry to bother you two."

Daosheng put his hands together and said: "Namo Amitabha, for all sentient beings in this world, I have no regrets on this journey."

Then, he recited scriptures, took a step forward, and sat cross-legged in the void. Lotus flowers floated beneath him, setting off his body.

Daosheng's body also began to change towards golden color.

Golden body of Arhat!

This is the sign that Daosheng has become a golden-bodied arhat!

However, he had obviously achieved his Arhat status in a hurry, and the golden light on his body still had some impurities.

However, this is not the main point.

There was naturally a reason why Daosheng was promoted to the Arhat realm in such a hurry.

"Fate..."

Dao Sheng suddenly opened his hands, and a long illusory river instantly flowed out of his body.

There are countless figures in this long river.

Looking closely, there were Cheng Gongxing and others.

Fateful magical power!
After Daosheng was promoted to the status of Arhat, his destiny and magical powers also underwent earth-shaking changes!

Cheng Gongxing stared at the long river intently, and he had deduced the "Nine Chapters of Divination" to its extreme!
This is to deduce the future through Daosheng’s magical power of destiny!
The combination of the two far exceeds the effect of one plus one being greater than two!

However, Daosheng’s cultivation was weak after all, and soon the long river of illusion became even more illusory.

Daosheng did not hesitate at all and directly lit up his own Arhat golden body.

"Golden body, burn!"

There was a blazing flame on his body!

"Om mani padme hum..."

Accompanied by the six-syllable great light mantra, the illusory river of fate quickly moved towards a solid direction!

Cheng Gongxing's breathing also quickened at this moment.

"Ah! That's really a big deal! An Arhat can die just like that?"

Yin Changsheng was laughing beside him.

"Shut up!"

Zhang Ling glared at him viciously.

Damn it, he just couldn't understand why Cheng Gongxing, such a smart man, kept a madman around! Wasn't he afraid that this madman would do something bad?

Yin Changsheng looked at Zhang Ling and laughed strangely, "Don't look at me like that. I will feel very uncomfortable, you fake one."

"What did you say!" Zhang Ling was furious.

"It's nothing. I just want to be nice to you. I hope you won't be ungrateful, or you'll regret it later." Yin Changsheng said again.

Zhang Ling's eyes instantly turned red: "You..."

"Stop arguing!"

Cheng Gongxing looked back at the two of them, and they stopped arguing.

The former looked at Daosheng in front of him again. At this time, Daosheng had returned to his normal state.

However, this does not mean that he is fine, but rather that the golden body of Arhat has been completely burned.

However, Daosheng at this moment did not have the slightest pessimism about dying. He just smiled and said, "Daoyou, did you gain anything?"

"Achieve a lot."

Cheng Gongxing nodded: "I vaguely see a way out."

"That's it..."

Daosheng sighed helplessly, but still clasped his hands together: "It's good to have a way. Although it's vague, there is always hope. Namo...Fuck Buddha!"

Daosheng suddenly looked up at the sky and uttered the only swear word in his life, which was also the last words he left in this world!

Then, his figure gradually faded.

His body and soul are completely destroyed!
"Goodbye, go away."

Cheng Gongxing clasped his hands together to see Daosheng off.

"Master Daosheng has left, now it's my turn."

Zong Bing staggered over carrying a scroll.

Cheng Gongxing looked at him and said, "It's only seventy-two months... you've persisted for too long."

It was originally planned that he would be released from Donglin Temple after seventy-two months.

But Zong Bing persisted for a full eighty-four months.

This time is really too long.

His life and soul were almost drained away.

"For the sake of all living things, what's wrong with sacrificing one person?"

Zong Bing smiled carefreely, looked at Cheng Gongxing and asked, "Are you sure?"

Cheng Gongxing remained silent.

Zong Bing knew what this meant and nodded. He didn't ask any more questions, but just said, "Actually, everyone knows this, but everyone is willing to do it this way. It's better than doing nothing... It's not your fault. Law enforcers are often the most hated. But the law enforcers are helpless. If there is no law, it will only lead to chaos, and perhaps it will perish faster. Now that you have changed your choice, you can only keep doing it. Otherwise, we will perish, and all living beings will perish, and it will be meaningless."

Cheng Gongxing clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Although his three-body magical power is to take over another body, it will never cut off the original body's original consciousness.

"hehe!"

Zong Bing smiled, glanced back at Yin Changsheng and Zhang Ling, then shook his head and said helplessly: "In fact, it is better to cooperate with Shaoyang and that Lu Xiuchen. I heard from Daosheng that Lu Xiuchen has a lot of secrets and may be related to the legendary Buddha."

Cheng Gongxing shook his head upon hearing this: "The more so, the more I cannot believe it."

"It's up to you. You are the real one anyway."

Zong Bing smiled. He was just making a suggestion.

Neither Yin Changsheng nor the monster Zhang Ling are reliable characters.

He said nothing more and slowly opened the scroll in his hand.

A picture of the Donglin Wuzhe Conference appeared before everyone's eyes.

When he was involved, the Wuzhe Assembly at Donglin Temple had just begun.

The current scene in the picture clearly shows that the Wuzhe Conference has ended.

Countless people had expressions of fear on their faces, and in the center of the temple, a black cloud was slowly gathering.

"The Bodhisattva's Transformation into Demonic Beings and Their Destruction... Hehe."

Zong Bing shook his head helplessly.

Not bad indeed!

The black mist seemed to have discovered something and began to move in the scroll. Strands of black air wanted to escape from the scroll, but were suppressed by Zong Bing with his life.

"There's not enough time. This demon is growing too fast. Send me there."

Zong Bing nodded to Cheng Gongxing.

Cheng Gongxing raised his hand silently, and a white cloud flew up from under Zong Bing's feet, carrying his body towards Hulu Mountain.

"Cheng Gongxing, isn't your goal to ascend to heaven?"

Zhang Ling looked at this scene and asked with a flickering expression.

Ascension is the basis of their cooperation!

Cheng Gongxing said: "We have a great oath of Dao Heart. If I am not devoting all my energy to ascend, how can I do this?"

Zhang Ling looked at Cheng Gongxing suspiciously.

Cheng Gongxing's expression was calm, but Yin Changsheng laughed with interest, looking at Zhang Ling's figure with a flickering gaze: "Hehe, what a great gift!"

In Hulu Mountain.

Lu Chen and his companions were also waiting for Hulu Mountain to disappear.

When Hulu Mountain disappeared, the war broke out, so Zhongli Quan and others seemed very nervous at this time.

The concentration of the innate spiritual energy around has become very weak, and it is almost impossible to perceive it.

The Hulu Mountain also shook from time to time, and a crack had appeared in the middle, as if it was about to open its mouth and fall to the sides.

At this moment, a white cloud carrying an old man slowly flew towards them.

Zhongli Quan and others did not act rashly, but just stared at Zong Bing.

Zong Bing also saw a few people. He nodded gently to them and let the white clouds take him to the sky above Hulu Mountain.

"The incarnation of Cheng Gongxing, the painter Zong Bing, requests to see the True Lord Shaoyang!"

Zong Bing saluted towards Hulu Mountain.

"You still dare to come and see me?" The voice of Shaoyang Zhenjun sounded.

Zong Bing smiled and said, "Hulu Mountain's mission is about to end. At this time, the only connection between Shaoyang Zhenjun and Hulu Mountain is probably voice transmission, right? Oh, I haven't congratulated Shaoyang Zhenjun on his rebirth yet."

"Ha ha……"

Shaoyang Zhenjun sneered: "Tell me, what is your purpose? I have seen you act a lot over the years."

"Nothing, just to prevent this world from being destroyed." Zong Bing said.

"Aren't you a law enforcer?"

Shaoyang Zhenjun asked: "Are you still afraid of the destruction of this world?"

Zong Bing was helpless: "Zhi Sui Dao Mi, in order to seek a further step, attracted the demonic energy of the peerless demon, and prepared to walk the path of enlightenment again. Our world is just a small world. If we want to provide him with the means to re-enlighten the great way, I am afraid that we will have to sacrifice all the lives of all living things to have a chance of success."

"For the sake of self-protection and for the sake of all living beings, law enforcers have to be law breakers for a while... True Lord, I don't have much time, please forgive me."

As he spoke, Zong Bing's expression suddenly changed.

A golden light suddenly burst out from his body.

Golden and bright!
It turned out to be a golden elixir!
However, there is a bit of black on the golden elixir, which is very conspicuous.

But it's harmless.

"Zhang Ling's Golden Pill!?"

Shaoyang Zhenjun shouted in surprise.

Isn’t Zhang Ling’s golden elixir in the Longhu Xuantan in Longhu Mountain?

How come he appeared in Hulu Mountain!
"Please ask the ancestor Tianshi to help!"

After releasing the inner elixir of Zu Tianshi, Zong Bing became even weaker, trembling as if he might fall down at any time.

As the light of the golden elixir surged, the last of the innate inspiration was swept away!
A middle-aged Taoist wearing a loose robe and holding a long sword slowly appeared.

He held a sword in one hand and a Dao Ji in the other, and bowed slowly: "Please forgive me, Master. I am Zhang Ling, the junior, for being rude."

"Zhang Ling! What are you going to do!?"

Master Shaoyang shouted angrily.

Zhang Ling swung the Heavenly Master Sword and chopped it down slowly while saying, "Luofengtian has been lost. We guessed wrongly. The Northern Great Emperor... is no longer here. Lord Shao asked me to tell you a message. The sky should change. If it changes, you will live. If it doesn't change, you will die. This is what the Northern Great Emperor said when he left. So, I hope you can atone for your sins."

"Junior brother! Stop him!"

The voice of Shaoyang Zhenjun was heard.

Zhongli Quan was about to take action but was stopped by Lu Chen.

"Uncle Master!"

Zhongli Quan looked at Lu Chen in shock, with confusion and vigilance on his face.

Lu Chen had no expression on his face and said in a low voice: "Wait a little longer!"

"and many more?"

Zhongli Quan almost laughed out of anger: "That's my master's true form!"

Lu Chen shook his head: "Not anymore, Brother has already gained a physical body. Only when Hulu Mountain is completely destroyed can it be considered as a true rebirth."

"Is...is that so?"

Zhongli Quan was stunned.

"Junior brother, Zhengyang, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it!"

Master Shaoyang was still shouting.

Zhongli Quan frowned again.

Lu Chen didn't even look at it, and said quickly: "Brother, you have been sitting in the cave for too many years, and things outside have changed a long time ago. The Northern Emperor is gone, Luofengtian is destroyed, and the Yin and Yang worlds are unified... So..."

Lu Chen sighed slowly: "This world really needs to change its rules again."

Zhongli Quan was a little anxious. He didn't know who to trust.

But as he delayed, the sword light of Tianshi Sword had already completely chopped down Hulu Mountain.

Hulu Mountain slowly split into two halves and collapsed to both sides.

The time barrier surrounding Hulu Mountain also disappeared in an instant.

The flow of time also coincides with the outside world in an instant!

In an instant, people on both sides, outside and inside, saw each other.

The whole air seemed quiet.

Especially the monster Zhang Ling. Everyone was stunned when they saw Zhang Ling splitting the mountain with his sword.

Zhang Ling?

When did he wake up!

Why didn't he get any news! ?

But after just a breath of silence, he immediately turned around and ran away.

He already knew what would happen to him!

"Don't leave!"

Yin Changsheng laughed, opened his palm, extended his arm hundreds of meters, and grabbed the head of the monster Zhang Ling who just rushed out. A forbidden magic rushed from his palm straight into the soul of the monster Zhang Ling, sealing his soul.

Although the monster Zhang Ling has reached the peak of the Taoist Immortal Realm, it is nothing compared to Yin Changsheng, a genuine cultivator in the immortal realm.

Yin Changsheng had a nervous smile on his face, looking at the monster Zhang Ling, whose face was filled with endless resentment and unwillingness: "I told you everything, I hope you won't make mistakes and regret it, but you didn't believe it. Do you believe it now?"

He has been waiting for this moment for a long time!
