Chapter 740: Discussing Tao with Oneself
"You've finally arrived."
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
At the end of the tomb passage, in the burial chamber, a voice had been resonating for a while.
Qing Chen and the others stood outside the burial chamber, all filled with shock and suspicion.
The voice inside the tomb sounded exactly like Qing Chen's!
"Has hell frozen over...? Could there really be another Senior Brother Qing Chen inside the tomb?"
Wu Dade muttered.
"Could it be... that there's a powerful Evil Spirit hidden here?"
Lin Jiu Zheng was also filled with doubt.
"Monk... it seems you didn't die completely back then."
Qing Chen felt there was something odd about what Da Hei said...
But he was undeterred.
He stepped forward.
Lin Jiu Zheng, Wu Dade, and the others immediately followed.
As they entered the burial chamber, in an instant, endless golden Brahman light radiated around them.
Everyone had the illusion that they had entered a Supreme Brahman Holy Land, rather than a creepy tomb.
The Brahman light around them incited a yearning in their hearts.
Ahead, there stood a massive Bodhi Tree, each leaf seeming to enshrine a figure, radiating infinite mystic charm.
Chants and Zen singing rose and fell in turns.
Beneath the Bodhi Tree, an extraordinary and transcendent monk sat cross-legged, looking like a hermit from another world!
His face... looked exactly like Qing Chen's.
"Senior Brother Qing Chen?"
"Looking exactly like Senior Brother Qing Chen, could it possibly be his past life?"
Lin Jiu Zheng and Wu Dade were completely astonished.
"Dirty business..."
Big Black Dog, however, spoke quietly, its eyes full of wariness.
The monk under the Bodhi Tree, extraordinary and elegant, standing as if outside the mortal dust, immune to reincarnations.
At that moment, he slightly smiled, looking toward Big Black Dog and said,
"Xiao Huang, it's been ages. Hope you're doing well."
Big Black Dog replied,
"I'm fine, but you turned into an Evil Spirit. Why didn't you just die properly?"
"What were you thinking? Isn't being completely dead better?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiu Zheng and Wu Dade were speechless. How could this Dead Dog speak so venomously?
But the monk simply smiled and said,
"You are mistaken."
"I am not an Evil Spirit, I am about to enter the Path."
"After entering the Path, all living beings will be saved, the Ancestral Realm will be preserved."
Saying this, he lightly waved his hand and declared,
"The Great Brahma Holy Realm awaits my reincarnation."
Big Black Dog, Lin Jiu Zheng, Wu Dade, and Wu Xiaokun suddenly felt as if they were immobilized by some force, unable to move!
The monk then reached out to Qing Chen and said,
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, please."
Before him, a desk and a cushion appeared.
"Be careful, Senior Brother Qing Chen, this guy is fishy!"
Wu Dade warned.
"Such an Evil Spirit, unfathomably deep..."
Lin Jiu Zheng also had a solemn expression. He secretly held the Fire God Brush but dared not act rashly.
This Evil Spirit's Realm was unimaginable; even though holding a divine weapon, his own realm was too low, provoking might instead cause chaos.
Qing Chen glanced at the monk, lost in thought yet unafraid, and approached with composure.
He walked forward, sat on the cushion, and faced the monk.
"I have realized the Supreme Law, attained enlightenment, and can save the world. Would you like to hear?"
The monk, otherworldly, smiled.
Qing Chen casually said,
"Sure, let's hear what you've concocted."
The monk paused, seemingly puzzled, but continued,
"To ferry the masses, first of all, ferry through the grey mist!"
"Do you know the true nature of this grey mist?"
Qing Chen replied,
"Smog."
The monk: "?"
He continued,
"With all sorts of evolutions, white mist transforming, but eventually, grey mist will arrive."
"Faced with grey mist, the Ancestral Realm's populace cannot resist."
"Only through Nirvana!"
"Nirvana Realm, neither living nor dying, neither active nor extinct, even the Origin of the Grey Mist cannot erode."
"This is indeed a truly marvelous law."
Qing Chen, upon hearing this, seemed ponderous.
Noticing this, the monk skillfully tempted, using his hands to illustrate the Supreme Law, displaying the state of Nirvana, and said,
"In my state of Nirvana, where you can see the four natures, abandon the six desires, and sever the seven emotions."
"See my marvelous law, unify with me, ferry all beings!"
"Do you wish to?"
His Nirvana Holy Realm had already enveloped everyone in Qing Chen's surroundings.
Qing Chen needed only a thought to fall into it entirely.
"Woof... What madness possessed this dead monk in his past life? He actually concocted the Nirvana Realm..."
On the side, Big Black Dog stared at the scene, murmuring somewhat dazedly,
"To reach Nirvana, yet still to have died..."
But, instantly becoming alert, it said;
"Not right... Once his consciousness is dominated, he will replace Qing Chen, and Qing Chen will become his slave in the Nirvana Realm!"
Big Black Dog immediately became anxious!
The atmosphere was as quiet as death, with Qing Chen and the monk facing each other, as if the centuries were passing by, Lin Jiu Zheng and the others were extremely nervous.
And at this moment, outside the main tomb chamber.
"We've finally arrived!"
"Is this the place of opportunity?"
"The treasure must be right here!"
Xuan Cheng and others had finally arrived.
They had already seen the golden light emanating from the tomb chamber and felt that supreme Brahman Path!
"This kind of Dao charm... far surpasses the Fourth Realm, unbelievable!"
Xuan Qingyi was utterly shocked.
"There are indeed treasures in this great tomb, let's go!"
Xuan Cheng was even more filled with joy.
But Ao Wushuang suddenly felt a chill!
He sensed something was off and subconsciously slowed down his steps, falling behind the others.
"Hmm?"
Xuan Qingyi was also reveling in joy when she suddenly noticed Ao Wushuang's unusual behavior.
She involuntarily also slowed down her pace!
When she slowed down, Zhang Lingyi also subconsciously slowed down.
Everyone reached the entrance to the main tomb chamber.
They saw the scene inside!
A sacred, flawless Bodhi Tree seemed to bear thousands of Great Paths, circulating infinite Dao principles.
Under the Bodhi Tree, two identical monks were facing each other.
On the other side of the tomb chamber, there were three young people and one Big Black Dog.
"This place is a treasure trove!"
"Why are there other people here? Where did these people come from?"
"Don't worry about that, this is the Saint Light, a great opportunity, let's get inside!"
Everyone was eager to rush in!
But now Ao Wushuang was dumbfounded; he stared at the Big Black Dog and that fatty in the tomb chamber...
In disbelief.
He almost went insane.
Damn... how could this happen??
This is the Ancestral Realm, already far from the Yang Realm!
And yet, to run into them in such a godforsaken tomb...
"Damn... Real damn weird!"
Ao Wushuang was practically spitting blood, had it never ended?
This freakishly weird small village...
He quietly turned around and took off running!
"Where did he go?"
Xuan Qingyi paused; she had been keeping an eye on Ao Wushuang, but the guy had just vanished before her eyes?
He was like the wind.
She hurriedly looked back and vaguely saw in the distant tomb pathway, a figure fleeing!
Did Ao Wushuang run?
That fast?
Xuan Qingyi looked at the glowing sanctified tomb chamber, hesitant for a moment.
"Even Ao Wushuang can't suppress the evil?"
"Forget it... let's run!"
She too backed off and retreated!
Zhang Lingyi also hurriedly followed.
...
Meanwhile, Xuan Cheng and the others hadn't noticed the disappearance of Ao Wushuang and the others.
They were blinded by the opportunity before them and ran into the tomb chamber.
Feeling the holiness of the Brahman Holy Light, they were all excited.
"This holy light makes one want to comprehend the Dao!"
"I feel like I'm seeing the Heaven-reaching Great Path of the Chaotic Realm!"
They were ecstatic.
However, the monk under the Bodhi Tree merely said indifferently,
"Noise."
Instantly, Xuan Cheng and the others all fell silent.
They couldn't speak a word, nor could they move.
"Something's not right... How do I feel... this place doesn't seem to be a blessed land."
Hu Jiu'er immediately became panicked.
"Are... are these people here Evil Spirits??"
Wu Youxie was even more startled, considering a certain possibility.
"Yes... and it's unimaginable..."
Shui Jing trembled all over; she looked at the monk under the Bodhi Tree, her body quivering severely, terrified to the point of wetting herself!
At this moment, everyone was panicking!
"Not right..."
Xuan Cheng's eyes filled with fear; he tried to use the Black Iron Chaos Seal to resist, but upon looking down, the Chaos Seal... had already turned into a pile of scrap metal!
What's happening...
"Sister Qingyi..."
He subconsciously looked for Xuan Qingyi, but when he looked, he realized that Xuan Qingyi wasn't there!
Also, Zhang Lingyi hadn't entered the tomb chamber.
And that... Ao Wushuang?
Did they run??
Xuan Cheng instantly felt that something was wrong; Ao Wushuang wasn't there... it felt so nerve-wracking.
...
Safe.
