One Thousand Seventy-Four: The Demonic Traces of Mount Xumi
"But after learning that the Star Master was planning to reshape Mount Sumeru, I suddenly realized that the West is also a part of the ancient world. Since we want to reshape the ancient world, how can it have nothing to do with the West."
Inertial thinking has led Saint Jieyin to always believe that Jiang Chen's reshaping of the ancient world has nothing to do with the West.
In fact, in these years, the West has been suppressed by the East, so much so that the saints have almost forgotten that the West is also part of the ancient world.
Once you understand this, the little conflict between the Second Sage of the West and Jiang Chen naturally doesn't matter.
It is true that many of Jiang Chen's actions made the Second Sage of the West extremely displeased, but his starting point was good and he was really planning to revive the West.
On this point, it is already better than everyone in the West. Compared with the great cause of reviving the West, no matter how big the contradiction is, it can be put aside. The two sages of the West still have this overall view.
"Although Jiang Chen didn't say it, it's a fact. After reshaping the ancient world, the people who benefit the most are the human race, followed by me, the West, and then the Xuanmen."
"This time, we really made a lot of money. It's like we got on a smooth sailing. Without doing anything, we ushered in an unprecedented opportunity for revival."
"After many years of great ambition, it is finally possible to realize it. It has to be said that Jiang Chen is truly a rare person in the ages. His abilities are far beyond imagination, and he is even better than you and me."
Sage Zhunti was also making assumptions. At this moment, predicting the future of the West, he really couldn't say anything bad about Jiang Chen.
After receiving such great benefits from others, and still saying bad things about them behind their backs, what a heinous act this person must be. Even if Sage Zhunti is naturally very thick-skinned, he cannot do this.
"Junior brother, what you said is wrong. Who said we haven't done anything? Aren't we already doing it? The Buddhist world in front of us is prepared to reshape the ancient world."
A rare smile appeared on Saint Jieyin's face, and he could be seen looking at the Buddhist world that was taking shape with a mysterious look on his face.
"Senior brother is very calculating."
When Saint Zhunti heard this, he was surprised at first, and then he understood the meaning of the saint and couldn't help but praise.
The idea of attracting the saint is very simple. In the future, there will be a battle between Jiang Chen and the great supernatural powers of Dongsheng China, and the outcome of this battle will determine whether Jiang Chen can successfully reshape the world.
If Jiang Chen wins, then the ancient world can be reshaped in his hands; if Jiang Chen fails, the future of the Three Realms will evolve into the Immortal Realm.
To lead the saint to build the Buddhist world at this time is to make two preparations. If Jiang Chen wins, he will integrate the Buddhist world into the ancient world, as the nourishment of the ancient world, and by the way, it can also strengthen the origin of the West.
On the other hand, if Jiang Chen is defeated, he will make the Buddhist world independent, isolate it from the fairy world, and form a large world of its own as the base camp of the West.
Just like Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Sage, Jieyin Sage also chose to bet on both sides. No matter who loses or wins in the end, they will all benefit.
Tathagata Buddha and others have seen through this, so they have no sense of belonging to the West. The reason why they die for the West now is not because they are loyal to the West, but because they want to obtain the good fortune that was nurtured when the Buddhist world was born.
No matter what happens in the future, it is important to get the benefits now. As long as your cultivation level improves, you will have more choices in the future.
Even if you betray Buddhism and join other forces, your powerful strength can also enhance your own bargaining chips.
The members of Western Buddhism are extremely complex. Only a handful of people join Buddhism willingly. Most of the rest are either forcibly converted into Buddhism or come here to seek refuge...
In short, they are all forced to do so and have their own little thoughts.
If you expect such people to be loyal to Buddhism, it is obviously impossible. The so-called Buddhism is a group of strong people who are united because of huge interests.
If this interest is still there, they will naturally be extremely united, but if the interest that connects them is gone, then it is estimated that they will break up and go their separate ways soon.
In fact, this is the case. After the Buddhist world is born and everyone benefits, Tathagata Buddha and others will probably try their best to break away from Buddhism and cut themselves off from the West.
At that time, Buddhism, which has been powerful in the world for countless years, will completely become history.
It was precisely in anticipation of this scene that the Two Saints of the West chose to suppress Tathagata Buddha and others, and forcibly conferred the benefits that originally belonged to them to Maitreya Buddha and others.
They all have the idea of setting up another business, so investing resources in them would be a bit of a waste.
…
…………
Not to mention Tathagata Buddha and others, Jiang Chen returned to Nanzhanbuzhou from Xiniuhezhou not long after holding Mount Sumeru in his arms.
"Fellow Taoists, I have moved Mount Sumeru here. You can go up and inspect it to see if there are any manipulations done by the Two Saints of the West."
Putting Mount Sumeru in front of everyone, Jiang Chen said to this group of great supernatural beings.
While speaking, he also released his spiritual thoughts to cover the entire Mount Sumeru, checking inside and outside several times without leaving any corner untouched.
Not only are these great supernatural beings worried, but Jiang Chen is also worried that the Two Saints of the West have left behind tricks on Mount Sumeru, so he is extremely cautious at this moment.
Jiang Chen didn't want to think that after he had spent a lot of money to reshape Mount Sumeru, before he had time to check the harvest, the mountain would be taken away by the Two Sages of the West.
After a lot of hard work, the whole thing ended up being a wedding dress for the Second Saint of the West. This result was absolutely unacceptable to Jiang Chen.
"The Two Sages of the West are the most cunning, so we have to guard against it. Let's take action together and completely inspect Mount Sumeru from the inside out to see if there is anything wrong with the mountain."
A sage and powerful man from Kunlun Mountain spoke up and invited everyone to take action together.
As the saying goes, there are specializations in the arts. Even if the saints are at a high level, they are not omnipotent.
Realm represents strength, which means that the strength of the saint far exceeds that of other people with great supernatural powers, but this does not mean that the saint surpasses other people with great supernatural powers in all aspects.
In some special fields, even saints are not as good as those with great supernatural powers. For example, in the field of deduction, except for the Taiqing saint, the other five saints cannot compare with the emperor.
For example, in the art of swordsmanship, except for the Sage of the Supreme Purity, all others are not as good as the Styx...
This means that there are specializations in martial arts, and certain great supernatural powers specialize in one path, so the achievements achieved in this path are even better than those of saints.
The great supernatural beings present each have their own specialties and are involved in almost all areas of the ancient world. With their cooperation, no matter what methods the two sages of the West left behind on Mount Sumeru, they cannot hide them from their investigation.
Even some problems that were not noticed by the Second Sage of the West can be detected by these great supernatural beings.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Terrifying spiritual thoughts burst out one after another, transforming into various mysterious supernatural powers, and penetrated into Mount Sumeru, carefully examining everything in Mount Sumeru, not even sparing its place of origin.
There are even several great magical powers who have joined forces to jointly display their magical power. The mystery of the magical power is such that even a person like Jiang Chen who has attained the magical power will exclaim that it is awesome and gain a lot of insights when he sees it.
Mount Sumeru is a holy land in the west, and it was the third sacred mountain in the ancient times. It is the ancestral land shared by the Buddhist and demonic sects.
Because of its special status, the people involved were too broad and too powerful, so everyone checked it very carefully. After one pass, they quickly started the second one.
This went on for several days, and everyone still had no intention of stopping.
"What's this?"
Suddenly, a person with great supernatural powers spoke in confusion, as if he had discovered something.
After hearing this, everyone looked there one after another, and saw that in a very hidden corner inside Mount Sumeru, there was a rune that symbolized the lake.
This rune is extremely illusory, and it seems as if it does not exist. If many people with great supernatural powers had not jointly inspected Mount Sumeru, they might not have been able to discover it.
After everyone discovered this mysterious rune, they looked at it for a long time, but they didn't see the reason. Jiang Chen, on the other hand, looked at the rune for a while, seemed to have thought of something, and said with some uncertainty:
"This rune looks like the mark of the Demon Ancestor?"
Jiang Chen had received the Demon Ancestor's inheritance, so he had some understanding of the Demon Ancestor's mark. This mysterious rune gave him the feeling that it was the Demon Ancestor's inheritance. Therefore, he naturally could not deduce the origin of this rune.
"After what the Star Master said, I also feel that this rune is very similar to the Mark of the Demon Ancestor. When the teacher was giving a lecture, he showed the Mark of the Demon Ancestor. It is indeed somewhat similar to it."
As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, someone suddenly realized it, which confirmed his guess.
"The rumors back then were correct. The relationship between the Second Saint of the West and the Demon Sect is indeed a bit unclear. No wonder the teacher doesn't want to accept them as disciples."
"It's not that they reject the West, but that their origins are a mystery."
After confirming the origin of this rune, everyone exploded on the spot, and many people even expressed their dissatisfaction with the Second Saint of the West.
Among the three thousand mortal guests of Zixiao Palace, the Second Sage of the West may not have the best qualifications, but his perseverance is second to none, and he is a person with great perseverance that is rare in the ancient world.
Logically speaking, on this point, the two of them met Daozu's criteria for accepting disciples. But back then, everyone saw Daozu's dislike of the two.
At first, they thought they were not from the East, so they were disliked by Taozu.
Later, with the passage of time, they finally realized that the reason why Taozu was unwilling to accept them as disciples was not because they were from the West, but because they were not clear with the Demon Sect.
Xuanmen and Demonic Sect are mortal enemies. Daozu had finally defeated Demonic Sect, so how could he be willing to accept someone related to Demonic Sect as his disciple? Wouldn't that make himself uncomfortable?
"That's not necessarily true. This mark of the Demonic Ancestor is not necessarily related to the Two Saints of the West. You must know that Mount Xumi is the ancestral home of the Western Sect, but before that, this mountain was also the ancestral home of the Demonic Sect, and there is a mark of the Demonic Ancestor in it.
, it’s really normal.”
There are also people with great supernatural powers who have put forward different opinions, thinking that the two sages of the West should not know about this matter.
However, as soon as this statement came out, it immediately attracted many people's rebuttal: "What those two of us with great supernatural powers can discover, can't these two saints discover?"
This is also true, but not necessarily true.
Jiang Chen felt that the Second Sage of the West might really not have discovered the Mark of the Demon Ancestor.
Logically speaking, with their cultivation level, they really shouldn't make such a low-level mistake. However, if Mount Xumi took the initiative to hide the mark of the Demon Ancestor, it would really be possible for them to hide it from their perception.
This is not because the Demon Ancestor is lying to them, but because their dojo is lying to them. The success rate is naturally very high.
"Let me see the purpose of the Demon Ancestor leaving this mark."
Although Jiang Chen had some guesses in his mind, he had no intention of discussing it with everyone. Instead, he released his spiritual thoughts into the Demon Ancestor Seal to explore the mystery contained in it.
Brush! Brush! Brush! Brush!
As soon as Jiang Chen's spiritual thoughts entered it, what he saw was the sky full of blood. Then, he saw four bloody long swords emerging from the sky and the ground, surrounded by endless evil energy.
With just one glance, Jiang Chen's spiritual thoughts were cut into nothingness by the sharp sword intent.
"The Four Swords of Killing Immortals!"
Jiang Chen was really familiar with those four bloody long swords. They were the Four Swords of Killing Immortals, the most precious swords of the Jie Jiao.
"Perhaps this mark of the Demon Ancestor was not left intentionally by the Demon Ancestor, but it is itself a part of Mount Sumeru."
At this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly understood the origin of this Demon Ancestor Mark. It was not left by the Demon Ancestor, but was derived spontaneously from Mount Sumeru.
Before the ancient times, when the three innate tribes dominated the world, the Demon Ancestor Luohou used Mount Sumeru as a furnace to refine the four innate swords of killing and killing immortals.
The Four Swords of Zhuxian have been nurtured by Mount Xumi for countless years, and both parties can be said to have achieved mutual success. Therefore, Mount Xumi is inevitably stained with the mark of the Four Swords of Zhuxian.
The Demon Ancestor Seal in front of Jiang Chen is the Tao Yun left in Mount Xumi by the Four Swords of Zhu Xian. Its essence is a sword seal, which can also be said to be a sword fetus, recording the entire process of the birth of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.
.
If enough power is provided to this mark, not only the four swords of Zhu Xian can be reborn, but also an innate killing sword can be bred.
"I now believe that the Second Saint of the West really did not discover this mark."
This mark can give birth to an innate killing sword. If the Two Saints of the West discover its existence, they cannot remain indifferent and must use it to refine treasures.
But now, Jiang Chen found no sign of a treasure on this mark, and the meaning of this was already obvious.
"The Second Sage of the West didn't notice it, but the Demon Ancestor must have known it in his heart. I finally found the reason why the Buddhists became demons."
Through this mark, Jiang Chen confirmed many things. For example, from the memory of his previous life, he knew that after the journey to the west, there was the calamity of the Buddha and the demons. This calamity marked the decline of Buddhism and the rise of the demons.
.
Although Jiang Chen knew about this, he didn't know why this calamity arose. How could such a huge Lingshan Mountain become a demon cave when it turned into a demon cave?
But now, he understands that the demons in Lingshan must have been affected by this mark. Although this mark is part of Mount Sumeru, it is after all a demonic thing and is inconsistent with the attributes of Buddhism.
In a short period of time, it may not have any impact, but over time, Buddhist disciples will undergo some changes to a greater or lesser extent.
