I'm invincible when I go down the mountain, and the CEO chases me

Ye Ning was dumbfounded.

He looked at the monkey and couldn't help but ask, "Say it again, where is this place?"

"Huaguo Mountain?"

The monkey looked completely bewildered, staring at Ye Ning with a hint of confusion in its eyes.

Is this guy an idiot?

I already told him that this place is called Flower and Fruit Mountain, and now he's asking me again, and he looks like he can't believe it.

Is there something special about Flower Fruit Mountain?

Ye Ning swallowed hard.

The monkey didn't know, but he himself was unclear about something.

Huaguo Mountain certainly has something special about it; it's the place where the legendary Monkey King lived in mythology.

This place is also called Flower Fruit Mountain, and there is a monkey there, whose strength is extremely powerful, and whose combat power is terrifying.

If one could reach the Great Sage level, it would likely be even more terrifying.

Thinking of this, Ye Ning took a deep breath.

He always felt that there was something mysterious about the Buddhist land, and now it seems that he was probably right.

But Ye Ning really didn't know what secrets this place held.

Just then, a voice reached Ye Ning's ears. Ye Ning's heart stirred, and he looked into the distance. He hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands in greeting to the monkey and said, "Fellow Daoist Monkey, I have something to take care of first. I'll come find you later."

The monkey nodded: "Okay, you're a good person. I'd like to be your friend."

Ye Ning immediately smiled.

He and the monkey exchanged a glance, and then Ye Ning's figure soared into the air and left.

Looking in the direction Ye Ning left, the monkey revealed a thoughtful expression, then scratched his head, not daring to think about it any further.

Since I couldn't figure it out anyway, I just put it out of my mind.

In the void, in a mysterious, unknown place, Ye Ning entered.

What awaited him was a young man dressed in monk's robes.

He was tall and imposing; standing there, he gave off an air of unfathomable mystery.

Just by looking at the other person, Ye Ning felt as if he was about to be converted by them.

This made Ye Ning gasp. He forcibly looked away and exclaimed, "The Buddha's power is indeed unfathomable. I almost wanted to convert after just one glance."

Upon hearing Ye Ning's words, a hint of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect the Lord of Heaven to be so clever, recognizing my identity so quickly."

Ye Ning curled his lip and said, "In the entire Buddhist land, you are the only Heavenly Emperor level expert, and you have a strong Buddhist and Taoist aura. If I still can't guess your identity, wouldn't I be a fool? Not to mention becoming the ruler of the Heavenly Court."

Upon hearing Ye Ning's explanation, Buddha chuckled.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a pavilion appeared, upon which sat a pot of wine and two wine cups.

Then, Buddha said, "I would like to ask the Lord of Heaven to do me the honor of having a couple of drinks with me."

Ye Ning sat down, his eyes curiously scrutinizing the Buddha, and asked, "Are you called Shakyamuni?"

Buddha paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, “I am not called Shakyamuni. I have forgotten my Dharma name. They all call me Buddha, so I call myself Buddha.”

Seeing the Buddha's calm demeanor, he seemed somewhat indifferent to the fact that he had forgotten his Dharma name.

Ye Ning knew that he had lived for too long, and everyone called him Buddha. In the end, even he himself believed that he was called Buddha, forgetting that Buddha was just a title and not his real name.

However, this was a matter for the Heavenly Emperor, and Ye Ning naturally wouldn't interfere.

Moreover, if a Heavenly Emperor wants to remember something, it's naturally simple; how could he not remember?

He just doesn't want to remember.

Ye Ning immediately changed the subject: "I wonder what business Buddha has with me this time?"

The Buddha smiled faintly and said, "Look at this Buddha Land, doesn't it feel somewhat familiar?"

A glint flashed in Ye Ning's eyes as he stared at the Buddha and asked, "You know?"

The Buddha smiled faintly: "Of course I know. If the Buddhist sect can find Blue Star, so can I. Moreover, I spent some time on Blue Star and have some understanding of it."

Ye Ning's heart skipped a beat, and then he stared at the Buddha and asked, "So, some of the myths on Blue Star were spread by you?"

Buddha shook his head, his expression solemn.

"It wasn't me. I didn't do such a thing. All the myths on Earth were created by the people of Earth themselves. They have nothing to do with me."

"Then what's the deal with this Buddhist land?" Ye Ning asked.

At this moment, Buddha said, "The Buddha Land has existed for hundreds of millions of years. At that time, there probably wasn't any mythology on Earth yet, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Ning was shocked.

The Buddha was right. The Buddhist land has existed for hundreds of millions of years and has evolved to its current state. Logically, it should have no connection with the myths on Earth.

But how are the myths of the Blue Star connected to this place?

The Buddha continued, “You also discovered that monkey from Flower Fruit Mountain. Moreover, above the Eastern Continent of Divine Victory, there is a divine court called the Heavenly Palace. The Jade Emperor, the master of the Heavenly Palace, is someone even I might not be able to defeat.”

"What the hell?"

Ye Ning stood up abruptly.

The name of the ruler of the Heavenly Palace is Jade Emperor? Or is he called Jade Emperor? That's amazing!

Seeing Ye Ning's incredulous expression, Buddha smiled wryly and said, "I recently learned about the mythology of the Nine Provinces, and I also find it incredible. That's why, after learning that you are the Lord of the Heavenly Court, I wanted to ask you to investigate all of this and find out what exactly is going on."

"So even you don't know the reason, right?" Ye Ning asked.

The Buddha nodded, his expression solemn as he gazed into the void.

"It seems as if an invisible hand is orchestrating all of this. I don't know who has such abilities, but I imagine it must be related to immortals. And you should know, fellow Daoist, that you are the only person in all of eternity who has a connection with immortals. That person is you, and your future is also our past."

The Buddha stared at Ye Ning, completely certain of Ye Ning's identity.

This was the first person Ye Ning had ever met who was so certain of his identity.

Ye Ning remained silent, then nodded and said, "You're right, I do have a connection with that immortal, but he shouldn't have done this."

The Buddha nodded and said, "He is indeed not that bored."

Ye Ning breathed a sigh of relief. He had initially thought that Buddha would blame him for this, but now it seemed that Buddha did not believe that his future self had done it.

"But if it wasn't you, who else could have done it?"

At this moment, Buddha spoke again, his gaze sharp as he stared at Ye Ning.

Then Buddha's gaze turned to worry, and his expression became quite grim.

"I'd rather it was you who did it; it would be even worse if someone else did it."

Upon hearing the Buddha's words, Ye Ning understood what he meant.

If someone else did it, it means there are other powerful immortals in this world, but they haven't appeared yet. What that immortal wants to do is probably unknown to anyone.

It should be understood that even a powerful being at the level of a Heavenly Emperor would be no match for a True Immortal and would be instantly crushed. That is why the Buddha was so terrified.

He is the Heavenly Emperor of the Buddhist Land, who attained enlightenment here and has a great connection with this place.

If any major upheaval occurs in the Buddhist land, it will surely involve him.

That will be the most terrifying time; even Buddha might perish because of it.

This is one of the reasons why Buddha insisted on finding Ye Ning.

He was truly terrified, sensing a terrifying threat emanating from the shadows.
