Chapter 236 Crisis Approaching
Fangcun Mountain
Wuzhuang Guan
The divine sense watched as I, the Dragon Girl, led Chen Fengchao westward.
I was quite excited.
He waited for over a hundred years, and finally the real person arrived.
Once the true self receives the memories of their past life, breaking the curse of that old dog Yu Chen will be a piece of cake.
Once he breaks free from the jade puppet, he will once again be Chen Chunan, the one about to conceive the holy child!
With the convergence of the three natures within oneself, only the fullness of innate Qi is needed to conceive a sacred fetus and bring forth an infant.
At that time, with his supernatural powers, even a true immortal descending to earth would be no match for him!
But why didn't the restless mind stop it?
If we allow the real person to come, wouldn't that completely ruin his plans?
A sense of unease arose in the mind of the consciousness.
But he quickly put this unease behind him.
Because the man and the dragon had already arrived at the door!
...
Outside
The Dragon Girl frowned as she looked at the Wuzhuang Temple before her: "A Taoist temple? It's already been occupied!"
As she spoke, the Dragon Girl looked at Chen Fengchao with a somewhat serious expression.
She could see how terrifying the towering tree above her head was, and the one who could nurture it was even more terrifying.
Chen Fengchao nodded, staring intently at the towering tree that blocked out the sky.
From the moment I saw that stone tablet upon entering the mountain, something felt off.
Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave looked familiar to him at first glance.
The couplets at Wuzhuang Temple seem strangely familiar.
Chen Fengchao even knew the name of the giant tree in front of him that blocked out the sky.
The moment he saw it, his brain automatically gave him the answer.
too weird.
It felt like he had known about this place for a long time, but his memory was veiled and he couldn't see it clearly.
He turned to the Dragon Girl and said solemnly, "Something's strange here. I have a feeling I've seen this place before. Let's be careful later."
As the Dragon Girl nodded in response, the gates of Wuzhuang Temple suddenly swung open.
Two young Taoist disciples bowed and raised their hands on either side: "Our master has been waiting for you two guests for a long time, please~"
Have you been waiting for me?
Did the owner of the Taoist temple know that I was coming?
Chen Fengchao and the Dragon Girl exchanged a glance, both seeing the wariness in each other's eyes.
However, the two of them came here to find Chen Fengchao's past life wisdom, and now that they were only one step away from success, neither of them was willing to give up.
After hesitating for a moment, the two of them still gritted their teeth and stepped through the door.
...
Quyuan Shenyou
The two followed the young Taoist priest through a maze of twists and turns, finally arriving at the backyard after a long while.
Before the two even approached, they heard a figure sitting cross-legged under the tree with his back to them chanting: "Attaining the Way of Fate, yet lost in ancestral nature, like a face without a fixed mirror. A foolish man whose lifespan is as long as heaven and earth, wielding power over family wealth but without a master..."
Upon hearing these two sentences, Chen Fengchao was deeply shaken.
"Life and nature are the essence of cultivation." These two sentences implicitly contain the key to cultivating life and nature. Was this written by someone from within?
The method he practices is actually the same as his own?
Just then, the Taoist priest under the tree suddenly turned around.
Two nearly identical faces suddenly came face to face.
Chen Fengchao's eyes widened instantly.
"You, you, you, how come you look exactly like me?"
The Dragon Girl's eyebrows furrowed: "What kind of demon are you, transforming into such a form? What are your intentions?"
The consciousness laughed heartily: "Illusion? This is no illusion; I am you all along!"
As the spirit spoke, a beam of light flew out from its fontanelle and flew straight toward Chen Fengchao.
Then...
Then nothing happened.
"What? That's impossible!"
The consciousness was stunned.
Since I was originally separated from the original body, I should be able to merge back into it as easily as eating and drinking.
How could the original being refuse to merge with itself?
Is there any justice in this world?
Is there no law left?
The most frustrating thing is getting something and then suddenly finding out it's locked in a safe.
Hidden in the shadows, the Mind Monkey looked at the dazed Consciousness and secretly chuckled, covering its mouth.
"As the ancients said, 'Cleverness can be one's undoing!' Your ginseng fruit from Wuzhuang Temple on Fangcun Mountain is too deliberate; it has actually stirred my primordial spirit. There's no way you'll be able to fuse with it!"
Of course, this was all thanks to the various subtle psychological suggestions he made along the way.
I have only just obtained Qi, and the foundation has not yet been laid. Suddenly merging with consciousness would be more harmful than beneficial.
Moreover, even if they merge, Feng Qingzi and the others will not let their original bodies out.
It would be better to take advantage of this great opportunity to solidify our foundation.
The art of the Golden Elixir requires gradual accumulation and eventual breakthrough; if one can comprehend it, becoming an immortal in a single day is not impossible.
Seeing the God of Consciousness looking furious, the Mind Monkey beautifully vanished into thin air.
...
the other side
上界
The three old Taoist priests sat facing each other.
The leader looked at the other two and said:
"Now that Heaven's trump card has been revealed, it's time for us to make our move!"
The old Taoist priest, holding a whisk in one hand, nodded and said, "That's to be expected, but since Heaven's will is obstructing us, neither you nor I can descend to the mortal realm. What should we do?"
"Didn't Fellow Daoist Lin say that we should break the sword of Heaven first? Now is not the time to confront Heaven directly. We should destroy the sword that it borrowed first, and it will naturally become anxious. When it becomes anxious, we will have an opportunity to take advantage of it."
The old Taoist priest, known as Lin, nodded and said, "The Sacred Mirror of Reincarnation is a treasure I left behind before I attained enlightenment. Although this treasure is currently in the lower realm, I still have a way to communicate with it!"
"There's a way to communicate? That's certainly something we can do. But you also said that kid has someone protecting him, so it might not be that easy."
"What's there to be afraid of? Let's prepare for both possibilities. What has been the most difficult tribulation we've faced in our cultivation so far?"
"A mental tribulation?"
The other two people's eyes lit up at the same time.
The horror of mental tribulations lies in the fact that this world is connected to the realm of desire.
The demons of the Desire Realm will appear when you are undergoing tribulation, subtly stirring up your deepest desires, obsessions, and fears.
It gradually traps you in a cycle of desire, obsession, and fear, eventually causing your spiritual heart to crumble until you become food for the demons of the Desire Realm.
Throughout history, countless brilliant minds have fallen victim to mental tribulations.
The fact that the person before me was able to easily overcome his mental tribulations back then owes much to the Sacred Realm of Reincarnation.
Moreover, this treasure can save people, but it can also harm them.
Good and evil are determined by the single thought of the person wielding the treasure.
One of them felt that this move was not safe enough and hesitated, saying, "Although the Heavenly Demons of the Desire Realm are formless and shapeless, they are most good at corrupting people's cultivation. However, neither of us can descend to the mortal realm. How can we make these Heavenly Demons work for us? Once we reach the secret realm, no one can control them. If we leave the secret realm, it will be even worse."
The lineage of the three of them still exists in the lower realm. If they were to destroy the lower realm, wouldn't their lineage become like water without a source?
Lin Zu glanced at him and said calmly, "It's not just about using the Heavenly Demon; the Heavenly Demon is merely one method. Although the three of us cannot descend to the mortal realm in our true forms, with our cultivation levels, we can still deceive the Heavenly Dao by sending a wisp of our spirit..."
The purpose of sending a spirit to the mortal realm is twofold: firstly, to prevent the celestial demons from going out of control, and secondly, to facilitate confirmation of the achievement of the desired outcome.
He was able to see through Tianpeng across realms before, so how could he not see through Chen Chunan's world of creation in the Samsara Sacred Realm?
Chen Chunan planned to rely on the illusion to take that ridiculous journey to the West to perfect his cultivation, but he just wouldn't have his way.
He wants to re-evolve the Journey to the West world created by Chen Chunan, making all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, turning this journey to the West into a complete scam!
When Chen Chunan thought he had succeeded, we will expose him completely, shattering his Dao heart!
Of course, the Heavenly Demon Annihilation Method is just a slow and gradual approach; if given the chance, he wouldn't mind annihilating them directly.
The three devised a plan, but the murderous intent vanished in an instant.
All living beings in the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man felt a chill on their necks.
The mind-monkey, perched on the ginseng fruit tree in the Sacred Realm of Reincarnation, suddenly startled: "Such pure killing intent! Is it aimed at me?"
