Chapter 251 Forty Thousand Years Later
The dark clouds were thick, like ink splashing across the sky, densely piled up above the sky, and only blood and thunder could be seen flashing in them.

"Boom!"

A bright sword light pierced through the dark clouds and fell back to the soul world with a thunderous sound that shook the sky and the earth.

Feng Yan held the Pure Yang Sword, and Xiang Chunan wore a metal magic crown, standing in the starry sky.

The blood-colored sword light fell in front of them and turned into the figure of Yin Yuanchen. His eyes were blood red, without any other light, as if he walked out of the Shura blood sea, giving people an indifference that looked down on all living beings.

The divine blood flowed down his body, leaving a string of bright red footprints in the void. Attracted by the broken meteorites outside the soul world, they flew towards the meteorites.

He was seriously injured, but he didn't care at all. There was relief and liberation on his face.

He had waited too long for this battle, and only today did he personally cut off his grandfather's head.

The head of the True God Xuanyi was held in his hand. There was no life left in it, his soul was completely destroyed, and he had fallen completely.

Xiang Chunan took out a magic pill and gave it to him to drink. The magic pill took its place and dissolved in Yin Yuanchen's body. After a while, the murderous intent in Yin Yuanchen's mind gradually dissipated, the scarlet in his eyes disappeared, and he regained his peace.

"Thank you very much."

Yin Yuanchen bowed slightly to the two of them and put away the head of the True God Xuanyi.

This time, we were able to intercept Xuan Yi outside the Soul Realm, leaving him with no way to go up to the sky or enter the earth, and finally kill him with our own hands, thanks to the assistance of Feng Yan and Xiang Chunan.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and a demon dragon was tumbling in it, fighting fiercely with the lightning, from the real world to nothingness.

It was Lei Fa Tianzun and Mengge fighting.

Xuanyi was originally from the Thunder Clan and was a seed sent to the Heaven Realm by the Thunder Clan many years ago. He was highly valued by Lei Fa Tianzun and others. When Xuanyi was killed, Lei Fa Tianzun was naturally furious and did not hesitate to descend to the Heaven to avenge him.

But forty thousand years have passed, and the Heavenly Court is no longer what it used to be. The Lord of the Underworld does not come out, and the Forbidden Land of Immortality does not dare to invade the Heavenly Court on a large scale.

Led by Haotian and Wudao Shenjun, there were the Five Elements Temple Master, Panyuan Ancient God, the Truth Hall Master, Mengge, the Kunlun Realm's God-Falling Island Master, the Ten Tribulations Questioning Heaven Lord who had returned from the outer realm, and Candeng who had been walking in the Heavenly Palace for many years...

These people are either Heavenly Lords or Semi-Ancestors, and their strength is extremely powerful.

Forty thousand years have passed, and Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable has still not broken through to the semi-ancestor realm. Even Mengge has surpassed him and caught up with his cultivation level. Even with the Heavenly Punishment Spear of the Emperor of Truth in hand, Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable may not be his opponent.

"It's really lively! I didn't expect to see such a lively event on my first visit to Heaven. Grandfather and grandson killing each other. You cultivators in Heaven are really interesting."

A teasing laugh came from the void, and the expressions of Yin Yuanchen and the other two changed instantly, becoming extremely alert.

Following the sound, I saw a giant beast walking in the air, with a nun in white sitting on its back.

The nun's robe was very revealing, revealing large areas of white on her chest and thighs. She was extremely tall. If it weren't for the monk's robe, she would definitely be a disaster that would bring disaster to the country and the people.

The three of them had practiced for many years and had already reached the realm of infinite gods. They would not be tempted by beauty. What really shocked them was the cultivation level of this woman and the giant beast, which they could not see through.

Yin Yuanchen has the highest level of cultivation. With the help of the demon shrine, he has practiced for several epochs and has reached the peak of great freedom.

But he couldn't see through either the white-robed nun or the giant beast in front of him, especially the giant beast, whose aura was as powerful as the vast ocean, and was even more terrifying than the Heavenly Venerate level. Although the white-robed nun was slightly inferior, she must be a super strong person in the Immortal and Boundless Realm.

When did two such powerful beings appear in the world? I have never heard of them before.

"Who is your Excellency?"

Feng Yan tightly grasped the Pure Yang Sword in his hand. This sword was the Taoist sword of Pure Yang Tianzun. It contained the divine power of Tianzun and was his greatest reliance.

"Don't be so nervous. I just happened to be passing by and saw the heated fight here, so I came over to take a look. I have no grudge against you and I won't do anything to you."

"Where are you from? This is not the place for you. I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise once my master has dealt with Lei Fa Tianzun, you won't be able to leave even if you want to." Xiang Chunan said loudly.

"Your master?" The white-robed nun smiled. "Your master can't even protect himself, how can he care about you? Do you think it's only Thunder Punishment Lord who's taking action? There's also a Thunder God behind the Thunder Clan."

Thunder God!

The three men's expressions changed drastically upon hearing this. Had the Thunder God also infiltrated the Heavenly Palace? Forty thousand years ago, he was a genuine Semi-Ancestor. Forty thousand years later, his cultivation was even more unfathomable. If he really attacked Mengge, Mengge would probably be no match.

"Amitabha, Baozhu, please do not be disrespectful."

At this moment, an old monk in hemp robes slowly approached. The old monk had an old face, but a solemn appearance. Behind him were shadows of gods and demons that transformed into lion beasts that protected Buddhism.

"The Lion's Roar of Gods and Demons, are you Buddhist cultivators from the Wasteland?"

Feng Yan guessed their origins through the strange images of gods and demons behind the old monk.

"Master." Seeing the old monk appear, Baozhu Dizang also put away his frivolous attitude.

"Donor Fengyan's prediction is correct. This poor monk and I, the disciple Baozhu, are indeed from the wasteland."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yan hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "Feng Yan greets Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Baozhu Ksitigarbha. I'm sorry for not recognizing you earlier."

"He is Ksitigarbha?" Xiang Chunan said in surprise. Ksitigarbha was not an ordinary person. He was a Buddhist cultivator of the same era as the Sixth Patriarch, and was a rival of the Sixth Patriarch.

"Baozhu Ksitigarbha, you said before that Thunder God has also come to Heaven? Please ask Ksitigarbha for help." Feng Yan did not forget the most important thing.

"Black clouds are rolling, thunder is roaring across the land. Thunder God's cultivation must have recovered to its peak, reaching the pinnacle of a semi-ancestor. When I came from the wasteland, I saw him fighting the Yaksha King, the ancestor of the Eternal Heaven. In the end, the Yaksha King was defeated, and Thunder God emerged victorious." Ksitigarbha said with emotion, "But there's no need for this old monk to take action today. There's another master above the black clouds."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of gurgling water came from above the dark clouds, and a long river composed of the imprint of time fell down from the outside of the ninth heaven.

"The Demonic Shrine, the second greatest time artifact in the universe, is indeed powerful." Baozhu Dizang sighed as he looked at the long river of time.

Seeing the demon shrine, Feng Yan and the other two breathed a sigh of relief. The demon shrine had long been no secret in the Temple of Truth and was controlled by the Lord Wudao.

The most crucial thing is that the spirit of the demon shrine is the ancient half-ancestor, tellurium.

Ten thousand years ago, the Soul Mother was born and swept across the Western Universe with the power of a half-ancestor. It was Tellurium that took action and used the power of the Demon Niche to repel her.

"Thanks to Master Telluride's help, Master is safe now." Xiang Chunan breathed a sigh of relief.

The power of time fought against the lightning for dozens of rounds. Finally, the lightning dissipated, the black clouds dissipated, and Lei Fa Tianzun and Lei Gong retreated together.

Tellurium and Mungo fell down together and landed in front of Fengyan and the other two.

Tellurium has no physical body and has transformed into a spirit body with the mark of time, but the fluctuations of his quasi-ancestor's cultivation are very intimidating, causing Baozhu Dizang and the Diting giant beast to retreat unconsciously.

Only Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva remained unmoved, and the power of the Quasi-Ancestor could not cause any effect on him.

"You have actually already broken through to the ancestor realm."

Tellurium spoke the first words, and was shocked.

Even in this era of the rise of powerful nations, ancestors are still rare.

Apart from Tianhuang, Eternal Heaven and the Forbidden Zone of Longevity, no other powerful ancestors appeared.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who has been staying in the wilderness for many years without showing any signs of presence, has unexpectedly broken through to the realm of the ancestor quietly. This is definitely news that can cause a sensation in the universe.

"It's just luck that he has stepped into the realm of the ancestor thanks to the changes in the rules of the universe in this era. In my opinion, Ancestor Tellurium should not be far from the realm of the ancestor." Ksitigarbha said with a faint smile.

Telli's expression softened slightly, and he showed due respect to the First Ancestor, saying, "The rules of heaven and earth have changed, and the difficulty of breaking through to the First Ancestor realm has indeed been reduced a lot. However, achieving the First Ancestor realm is not a stroke of luck. Why are you so modest?"

"I heard there's a feud between the Western Heaven Buddhist Realm and the Earthly Desolate Buddhist Sect. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, as the ancestor of the Buddhist world, came to the Heavenly Court. Is he here for the Western Heaven Buddhist Realm?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sighed deeply, his expression showing a look of sorrow. "I did not come here for the Western Paradise, but for the sentient beings of the wasteland. This is a long story."

Mengge sensed something strange in Ksitigarbha's words. Something that could make the ancestor act like this was probably not something they could decide.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is a guest. Why don't you follow us back to the Temple of Truth?"

……

Inside the Temple of Truth, the most powerful figures in the Heavenly Palace gathered here.

"What on earth happened that made Ksitigarbha rush to the Heavenly Palace for help?"

Haotian was dressed in a Confucian robe, and his aura was becoming increasingly profound. He had already walked a long way into the realm of semi-ancestor, and was not much weaker than tellurium.

“This is a long story. Forty thousand years ago, two strange donors came to the wasteland. They had great magical powers and unfathomable cultivation strength. They were both masters from other worlds.

The female donor's attainments in Buddhism were so profound that even I, an old monk, felt ashamed of myself. The two of them were spreading the Dharma in the wilderness, educating the world. I knew I was no match for them, so I didn't engage in conflict with them, treating them with the courtesy of a guest.

"They are not vicious people. They usually discuss Taoism with me and preach to the Buddhist monks of Dihuang. I was able to break through the realm of the ancestor because of their guidance."

"There are actually masters in this world whose Buddhist cultivation is even higher than Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's. Could it be the reincarnation of Buddha Kasyapa?" The Lord of the Hall of Truth exclaimed. "According to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, these two should also be the ancestors. So, is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's visit this time related to them?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded, "A hundred years ago, I gained enlightenment and made the ultimate leap, finally achieving the Ancestral Realm. While I was rejoicing, these two suddenly came to me and asked me to help them with something."

"For forty thousand years, the two of them have controlled the lives of all living things in the entire wasteland. They used the entire wasteland as a threat, using both kindness and force to force me to bring back two things."

"What is it?" Haotian frowned slightly. The thing the two ancestors wanted was probably not an ordinary thing.

"The Mani Pearl and the Dark Ancient Illuminating Divine Lotus."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became silent.

Everyone's eyes were cast on the Wudao God who was dozing with his eyes lowered.

The Mani Pearl is in the hands of Huo Ze Tianzun in the Hell Realm, and the Ming Gu Zhao Shen Lian is the real body of the Flower Fairy Ji Fanxin, who is the forbidden deity of the Wudao God.

"The Mani Pearl and the Dark Ancient Divine Lotus? I have probably guessed their identities." The Lord Wudao slowly opened his eyes, calm and composed.

"If Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva reveals the purpose of this trip just like that, won't he be causing trouble for himself?"

"The lives of countless creatures in the wasteland depend on me, so naturally I want to save them. However, Fairy Baihua has nothing to do with this matter, so how can I do such an indiscriminate thing?"

"If Fairy Baihua is willing to go back to the wasteland with me, I will protect her even if it means sacrificing my own life. If she is unwilling, I will not force her." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva chanted the Buddha's name.

Lord Wudao was silent for a moment. If he guessed correctly, the two people in Dihuang should be Canque Fanxin who escaped from the hands of the Underworld Ancestor, and Bai Yuan who escaped from the Sword God Temple.

The situations of these two guys are similar, but they didn't expect that they would come together and operate in the wasteland for 40,000 years.

If Canque Fanxin wants to recover his cultivation to the point where he can compete with the Lord of the Underworld, the fastest way is naturally to reunite with Ji Fanxin. But is it really possible to succeed by controlling the wasteland and threatening Ksitigarbha?

Canque Fanxin had experienced the battle in the Origin Temple, so it was impossible for him not to think of the connection between Ji Fanxin and the Taoist sect of longevity. How could Ksitigarbha, who had just entered the realm of the ancestor, bring Ji Fanxin and the Mani Pearl back under the nose of the Taoist sect of longevity?

And judging from the current situation, they have not really controlled Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. After all, he is an ancestor. It would be difficult to do so unless they exert influence on him in the early stages of his practice.

"I can't make the decision for Fan Xin. She is currently cultivating in the Temple of Truth. Ksitigarbha, can you come with me to ask her in person?"

Everyone was surprised when they heard this. This was somewhat inconsistent with the usual behavior of Lord Wudao. Could it be that he was afraid of the power of Ksitigarbha's ancestor?

"Junior brother, the Temple of Truth has always stood by you. No matter how powerful the enemy is, we will stand with you." The Lord of the Temple of Truth said.

"The Fairy of Flowers is a member of the Heavenly Court and the Realm Master of the Thousand Core Realm. Even if I am the Heavenly Master, I will not stand idly by." Haotian also spoke.

The Master of the Five Elements Temple looked at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Baozhu Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Although he knew the huge gap in their cultivation, he had no intention of retreating. He said calmly, "In the past 40,000 years, the Heavenly Court has encountered several invasions by powerful enemies. The ancestor has also fought against them before. At most, we can only fight with all our strength."

Wudao Divine Lord smiled faintly and shook his head, "There's no need for this, everyone. I believe Ksitigarbha has no ill intentions in coming here, but there are many hidden secrets involved, and I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems on the surface."

To calm everyone's emotions, Lord Wudao and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva rushed to the place where Ji Fanxin was in seclusion in the Temple of Truth.

The hall fell into silence for a moment.

Pan Yuan Ancient God was the first to break the silence and said, "Do you want me to go to the Longevity Forbidden Zone and ask the Chaos Ancestor to come forward?"

In recent years, Haotian, Panyuan Ancient God, the Master of the Five Elements Temple and others have been trained intensively, and their strength has improved by leaps and bounds. They also know that the one who trained them was not the Great Venerable Acala, but the Great Venerable's fellow Taoist brothers, who were also Chaos Ancestors in the Ancestral Realm.

"Ten thousand years ago, the Corpse Nightmare broke into the Western Heaven Buddhist Realm and tried to seize the Pure Land. It was the Chaos Ancestor who stepped in to repel it. This time, when Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva comes to the Heavenly Palace, I'm afraid we'll have to ask the Chaos Ancestor to intervene again."

The ancient god Pan Yuan's cultivation has reached the level of a semi-ancestor, but when facing the real ancestor, he knows that there is a huge gap and they are not on the same level at all.

Although Haotian has made great progress in his cultivation over the years, there is still a big gap compared to the real ancestor, and he still needs time to grow.

"I will go with the ancient god." said the Lord of the Hall of Truth.

Mengge reached out and pulled him back, looking in the direction Ksitigarbha was leaving. He whispered, "Don't you all trust Wudao's actions? Since he dared to bring Ksitigarbha to see the Fairy of Flowers, he must have a plan. In terms of his relationship with the Immortal Forbidden Zone, everyone here combined is far inferior to him."

"Monggo is right. Lord Wudao obviously knows more secrets than we do and must have his own countermeasures. Although Ksitigarbha is the ancestor, he may not be truly invincible in the Temple of Truth." Haotian said slowly.

When the ancient god Pan Yuan heard this, he was shocked and thought of something, with an expression of disbelief.

"What Tianzun means is..."

The Lord of the Hall of Truth and others also came to their senses. Yes, facing a genuine ancestor like Ksitigarbha, how could the Lord of No Way be so calm and composed? Unless there was an existence in the Hall of Truth that was no weaker than Ksitigarbha, an ancestor with combat power.

After a little thought, this ancestral-level combat power is either the Lord Wudao himself, or the Fairy of Flowers who has returned after practicing in the Longevity Forbidden Zone for many years.

Or is it both?
"Palace Master, Yuanshen, you also know that the strongest person in Heaven is not me, but Wudao. It's just that he has no intention of taking the position of Tianzun. Otherwise, how could I sit in the position of Tianzun?" As Haotian spoke, his thoughts became much clearer, and the sense of urgency brought by the ancestor also dissipated a lot.

"Although the universe has experienced occasional conflict over the past 40,000 years, it has generally been relatively stable. However, this calm is likely the quiet before the storm. The changes in the Earthly Wasteland and the arrival of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva indicate that the universe is about to undergo a major change. It is time for the Heavenly Court to formulate a response plan."

"What the Heavenly Venerable said makes a lot of sense, but how should we do it?" asked the master of the Five Elements Temple.

"The Heavenly Court is too vast, and the myriad realms are scattered, making it easy to lose sight of one thing while focusing on another. Furthermore, without top-tier combat power, there's no way to fight the First Ancestor." Haotian pondered for a moment, then continued, "As I see it, the only way to fight the First Ancestor is to gather the power of all living beings. There are countless beings in the myriad realms of the Heavenly Court. Although their individual strength may be weak, when gathered together, they become a force that even the First Ancestor cannot underestimate. With the Heavenly Court as the core, we can gather all the realms into the star field near the Heavenly Court and construct a great formation of all realms. This is my idea."

"Relocating the Ten Thousand Worlds? I'm afraid this won't work." The Five Elements Monastery Master couldn't help but frown. "Relocating the Ten Thousand Worlds from their original star regions would involve terrifying interests."

"I'm naturally aware of the difficulties involved, but this is the only way. Let's take it step by step and first bring in the big world that's willing to migrate."

……

The Mountain of Gods was originally a forbidden area of ​​the Temple of Truth. After being transformed by the Lord Wudao, it has become the first sacred land for cultivation in the Temple of Truth.

Ji Fanxin is currently in seclusion there, trying to comprehend the ancestral rules left behind by the Emperor of Truth.

A misty valley, with a clear pond with a diameter of more than ten feet in the valley, and wild lotus blooming, pink and bright.

Ji Fanxin sat cross-legged in the center of the flowers, ethereal and transcendent, worthy of the title of Fairy of Flowers.

She slowly stood up, walked out of the lotus, and waved her hand to disperse the fog at the entrance of the valley.

The God of No Way, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Baozhu, rode on Di Ting and walked in from outside the valley.

"Amitabha."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name.

"Ksitigarbha, there is no need to say more. The Lord God has already told me the purpose of your visit." Ji Fanxin walked to the side of the Lord Wudao with a calm expression and stood side by side with him.

Baozhu Dizang stood behind Ksitigarbha, and the moment he saw Ji Fanxin, his eyes became a little strange.

"Since you're here, you might as well show yourself. We should have had a good talk a long time ago."

Ji Fanxin's gaze fell on Baozhu Dizang. Dizang felt something was wrong and turned back to look at Baozhu Dizang. Seeing a lotus mark appearing between his eyebrows, he immediately understood.

Those two never really intended to let him do this. Baozhu Dizang was the spokesperson they chose.

The lotus mark turned green, and the Buddhist light and Taoist rhyme on Baozhu Dizang became deeper and deeper, and golden lotuses emerged from his feet like a Buddha who had attained enlightenment.
