Chapter 418: The Other Shore, LandlubberIn the main mountain area of ​​Chaoxia Mountain, Wu Zhou and Hela both felt an atmosphere that could not be more familiar.

Their real bodies are still being held hostage by Mu Shitian, suppressing the Eye of the Sea of ​​Bitterness. How could they forget this?

“How to try?” Hela questioned.

Wu Zhou said nothing, but just looked up at the Bodhi tree that had already produced illusory Taoist fruits.

This Bodhi tree is the symbol of the culmination of Ji Jingqiu's [Visualization Diagram of the Fiery House Buddha Hell]. It should have witnessed the advent of the Sea of ​​Bitterness and was completed. However, because Ji Jingqiu cut off his own infinite light to give to the world and the dark sea when he opened up the way to the world last time, it produced illusory fruits ahead of time.

Following his gaze, Hela immediately understood what Wu Zhou meant.

In a sense, Ji Jingqiu is the yardstick for verifying whether one is in the sea of ​​suffering.

This was determined by the Dharma of the Buddha's lineage. In the past, Mu Shitian "was not in a position to do so", so he had to give up the original path to heaven, but found another way and embarked on a special path.

He suppressed the sea of ​​suffering with his own body, and also made their lineage the last insurance. Once the sea of ​​suffering descended upon the world, the inheritors of the Buddha's lineage would truly be fulfilled.

So there is a saying that "the lineage of the World Honored One will be the most respected one in the last days."

Therefore, to determine whether this is truly a sea of ​​suffering, they only need to observe Ji Jingqiu's condition.

If there really is a sea of ​​suffering, not only will Ji Jingqiu become stronger and stronger, but the illusory fruit of this Bodhi tree will also be completed.

Hela's eyes were cold. Was Chaoge planning this because he had noticed something unusual about Ji Jingqiu's lineage?

What does this guy want to do?"You should know that if Ji Jingqiu gets into trouble here, Mu Shitian will not let you and my real bodies go."

Hela looked at Wu Zhou coldly, warning him not to sit idly by.

Wu Zhou said calmly: "I thought you would be more concerned about the existence of the bitter sea, rather than Ji Jingqiu's life or death."

Hila said in a bad tone: "Even if it is really the Sea of ​​Bitterness, what does it have to do with you and me? But Ji Jingqiu is truly related to you and me!"

Wu Zhou looked at Hela meaningfully and didn’t say much.

During this period of time together, he could tell that something was wrong with Hela's split soul. Her humanity clearly overwhelmed her pure divinity, and it was not just a "performance".

It is not known whether it was intentional on the part of Hela herself or a plot by Mu Shitian and others.

Or was it a trap set by Taiyi and Ji Tianxing?

Thinking of the latter two, Wu Zhou's eyes became noticeably gloomy.

"Taiyi should be here too." Wu Zhou said suddenly.

Hela frowned. “You shouldn’t address him by his name. He already possesses certain qualities of a transcendent.”

Wu Zhou pointed upwards and said, "If Taiyi can still hear through this Bodhi tree and the reflection of the sea of ​​suffering above, then he does not just possess certain traits, but has truly taken this step."

Hela snorted coldly.

Wu Zhou said to himself, "He has always been interested in the sea of ​​suffering, but it is difficult to get in touch with it."

“He’s not interested in the Sea of ​​Bitterness.” Hila said coldly, “He’s interested in the ‘other shore’ that He Donghuang and Mu Shitian reached.”

"Why, you haven't guessed why he would cooperate with Ji Tianxing?"

Generally speaking, sitting and forgetting corresponds to the eight realms.

The spiritual realm and Tao realm corresponding to the Nine Realms of Transcendence is called [Great Freedom], which means to transcend the ultimate of Tao, reach the top of the Great Way, and no longer be bound by anything.

However, Mu Shitian and He Donghuang named the spiritual realm they had attained "the other shore".

The two people take different paths and go in different directions, but there is no difference between high and low, they are both "the other shore".

Taiyi has always felt that the reason these two people were able to step into the realm of true saints and even touch the threshold of transcendence within a few hundred years was all because of this special state of mind named "the other shore".

So he has been trying to reach it, but the only two people who have achieved this step are He Donghuang and Mu Shitian.

In Hela's opinion, Ji Tianxing, who was closest to the two, must have used this realm as his trump card and reached a consensus with Taiyi to let him help him seize the throne of Wu Zhou.

In Taiyi's eyes, this was probably just a...

experiment.

Wu Zhou was silent for a moment, and said: "After you were suppressed, Taiyi once mentioned by chance that the reason why Mu Shitian and He Donghuang were able to achieve the 'other shore' might be related to the sea of ​​suffering."

Hela was not surprised because she had the same guess.

It's just unconfirmed, without any evidence, it's just speculation.

In fact, there are similar "traces" in many scriptures and classics left by Mu Shitian.

For example, in the lineage of the Buddha, the so-called "Zen" is an important way to go from this world to the other world.

"Taiyi can't afford to offend the Eye of the Bitter Sea, but here, for now, there is only the breath of the Bitter Sea. If he senses it from Chaoge, he will definitely not let it go."

“Is that all you want to say?” Hila sneered. “Do you think the True Saints of each family are just sitting there doing nothing? There are quite a few strong people gathered this time. Even Taiyi, who is so abnormal, dare not show up openly, not to mention Chaoge is here.”

"I hope so." Wu Zhou whispered, returning his attention to Ji Jingqiu.

Unlike Hela, he was more concerned about the bitter sea atmosphere that appeared here.

Could this be the reason why Chaoge had to break through by force?……

The conversation between Hela and Wu Zhou could not be hidden from Ji Jingqiu's perception, but he was now trapped in a strange situation and could not extricate himself.

The extremely strong Dao rhyme, combined with the fragments of time, allowed him to see many fragments of the wonders that had happened.

It is like a trance, but what is wandering is not the heaven and earth, but the past and the future.

In it, he witnessed the scene before the destruction of this world. The True Saints opened the way, and all races fought to cross, but none of them could escape the final bloody scene. The geniuses and sons of destiny that had not appeared for countless years were left with nothing in this disaster. Even the Heavenly Venerable Daoist Ancestor could hardly save himself.

As powerful as the unwilling roars of the saints before their fall, and as the tender faces of children with tears in the mortal spirits... they all passed by in a fleeting glimpse.

"This is the destruction of a world..." He muttered to himself, repeating, "This is the true destruction of a world."

It was far more real and concrete than the destruction of a world he observed in the Cangqing lineage.

When a world is destroyed, what is most touching is not the collapse of the great way or the annihilation of the Dharma Realm, but the struggle for survival of all living things.

"Is this what Chaoge wanted me to see?"

Ji Jingqiu was still moving forward, his inner emotions calmed down. He moved the cause and effect line, and there seemed to be a crisp sound in the dark, trying to interfere with the scenes he saw.

But his attempt was like a sand castle on the beach, easily flattened by the waves, erasing all traces.

"The power of time... is worthy of being one of the most terrifying origins in the world." Ji Jingqiu sighed in a low voice.

He interfered with time with the power of cause and effect, but eventually returned to the right track and set things right.

Ji Jingqiu couldn't see the way back, so he could only keep moving forward.

Gradually, he heard a strange sound.

"The rescuer has been drowning for too long and needs CPR!"

"The rescuer's medical history revealed ALS!"

"What? This young man is only in his twenties and he has contracted ALS?"

"No wonder you're trying so hard to save people, do you think you'll die soon?"

……

Ji Jingqiu frowned slightly.

These strange sounds brought back memories of his past life.

He ignored it and continued on his way.

"It's time to wake up from the dream. The light of your soul has been ignited and you can return to the other side. You must understand where your home is."

The new ethereal sound seemed to emerge from the cracks of time.

"Come back, soul, come back! Can you hear me? I am guiding you back to the other side! Wake up quickly!"

Ji Jingqiu looked calm as he walked in the darkness, ignoring all the vague words around him.

He entered a state of spiritual meditation, and the Federation's martial arts focused on the "self". If he couldn't even distinguish between what was real and what was false, then all these years of practice would have been in vain.

Hallucination? No, it's more like a demon in my mind.

Ji Jingqiu slowly closed his eyes, sensing his true self in the dark.

The deeper he went, the quieter it became. The infinite area was silent, with only those chaotic whispers coming from it. Finally, he seemed to have passed through layers of hazy fog and interlaced light and shadow, crossed the border between this shore and the other shore, and finally arrived at an indescribable place.

This place seems to be the end of time and space. Time has lost its scale, space has lost its boundaries, and everything returns to the starting point, which is also the end point.

Those whispers cannot reach here.

He felt the water flowing over his feet.

Dang Ji Jingqiu opened his eyes again.

The sea water covered his calves, splashed on the beach, and quickly retreated back into the sea.

He looked ahead and saw the endless sea and sky that met each other.

After a long time.

"I thought it was something extraordinary, but it turns out to be just a sea of ​​suffering?"

Ji Jingqiu murmured.

"Chaoge is hiding so deeply, is it just this illusory sea of ​​suffering?"

He looked down at his feet. He was standing on the shore, but he didn't know whether it was this shore or the other shore. The tide rose and fell, and the sea water often flooded over his feet.

Ji Jingqiu was a little skeptical and felt that this might still be just an illusion.

He began to walk forward, and stepped into the slightly cool sea water from the shore.

Soon, the water reached above his waist.

He dived into the sea and swam towards the depths with the help of the tide.

Even the Heavenly Venerable Daoist Ancestor could easily sink into the sea of ​​suffering, but for Ji Jingqiu, it was like a fish returning to the sea. He had never felt so free before. He felt that his Taoist power, which had already reached the peak, was slowly rising again, without any reason.

Speaking of which, wasn’t the Eye of the Sea of ​​Bitterness suppressed by Master Mu?What is here?Is there more than one sea of ​​suffering?Or is there more than one Eye of the Sea of ​​Bitterness?Thinking of this, Ji Jingqiu dived into the depths. It was deep and dark there, so he evolved many scriptures and methods of the Buddha's lineage, causing golden lotus flowers to bloom there and illuminate the deep sea.

At this point, his feelings changed again, as if he was walking on flat ground, no longer drifting with the sea water. He strolled leisurely in the deep sea, all the way to the lowest end, following the seabed to look for the so-called eye of the sea.

……

Emperor Xu opened his eyes again and raised his hand, looking suspiciously in the direction of Chaoge.

Like her, there are also supremely powerful people who have transcended their families.

They could all clearly feel that Chaoge had just experienced a drastic emotional fluctuation.

Although it was fleeting, it was enough to prove that Chaoge was unable to suppress it for a moment.

What happened?Or is Chaoge already unable to hold on and about to die? !All the strong men were guessing this in their hearts.

At the same time, I pray that Chaoge can live longer.

They have not yet seized the original authority of this realm. Once Chaoge overturns the table before his death, no one will be able to play, and this realm will completely collapse.

That would be such a waste of resources.

At this moment.

Chaoge was both delighted and shocked.

Ji Jingqiu's performance completely exceeded his expectations.

Even if it is just an illusory boundless sea of ​​suffering, few true saints are willing to come into contact with it, let alone go deep into it!

Is this boy really fearless?No, he was just confused for a moment! Just being fearless, how can one wander in the boundless sea of ​​suffering without drowning!

This young man, whom he himself could not quite understand, not only did not disappoint him, but gave him a big surprise.

Apart from other things, Ji Jingqiu's current performance...

Allow yourself to save some energy.

However, Chaoge felt a little worried.

Ji Jingqiu entered Chaoxia Mountain earlier than he expected. This kid has not reached the expected height yet, and there is a possibility of accidents happening inside.

And with his current performance, Ji Jingqiu can fully shoulder his expectations.

With a thought, Chaoge began to lead the other two calamities, forcing them to move towards Chaoxia Mountain under the urging of the killing calamity.

……

There is no concept of time here.

Ji Jingqiu walked in the vast ocean for an unknown amount of time without seeing any living creature other than himself.

It was not until he surfaced and walked on the sea that he saw a fog of time in front of him that was similar to the one outside.

He walked towards the fog, and when he got closer, he saw a woman standing quietly in the fog.

Her figure was blurry through the mist, but one could still feel her extraordinary beauty and peculiar temperament.

The air was filled with the aura of Taoism. She slowly turned her head and felt Ji Jingqiu's gaze. Her temperament was clear and ethereal, dignified and elegant.

Those eyes seemed to penetrate time and fell on Ji Jingqiu.Ji Jingqiu also looked serious.

In this sea of ​​suffering, is there anyone else standing besides him?Could the other party be related to the Transcendent?Or is he a top true saint?In the mist, she seemed to speak, but her voice seemed to come from far away:"You have also seen the truth of the world. Will you join us?"

Join? Or “we”?Ji Jingqiu frowned and looked at the woman, and asked, "Who are you?"

“Those who have glimpsed the truth are searching for the other shore in the vast ocean of suffering.”

The woman's voice was vague and light, like the whispers in a dream.

"The other side?" Ji Jingqiu had some guesses and took the initiative to test, "You mean the shore? I came from the shore."

In an instant, the woman's originally ethereal and otherworldly temperament suddenly changed, gradually becoming fierce, as if she was wearing armor, ready to attack at any time.

"Are you joking with me?"

The ethereal words also turned cold, as if the temperature had dropped by dozens of degrees.

Ji Jingqiu was still examining her, and suddenly said, "You don't seem as strong as I thought."

The woman said coldly, "It's just a projection. You are the same. We are both projections. It will be easy for me to kill you. By then, I will be able to trace the coordinates of your real body. You can't escape. Either join us or become dust."

Ji Jingqiu was shocked. Could it be that the other party was really an almighty powerful being?and many more……

Could it be that these people are the reason why Chaoge had to break through? !He suppressed his surprise and tried to get more information from the other party.

But the other party soon realized that what Ji Jingqiu knew did not match their identities. With cold eyes, he took the initiative to walk out of the fog.

She was dressed in blue, extremely beautiful and powerful. Although she was in a sea of ​​suffering, she had a temperament that transcended everything.

"Who are you and how did you get in here?"

She started to question and reached out to grab Ji Jingqiu's neck.

Ji Jingqiu suddenly realized that although she seemed to be standing on the sea, there was actually a layer of water separating her feet from the sea.

His eyes flashed, and he took a hard hit from the other party, then dived into the sea. Seeing this scene, the other party was obviously shocked. He had never expected that Ji Jingqiu would dare to sink into the sea of ​​suffering.

Ji Jingqiu seized the opportunity, grabbed the other person's legs, and pulled him into the sea.

In an instant, the woman showed signs of panic, thrashing around like she couldn't swim.

Ji Jingqiu had already moved away and watched coldly.

Finally, he confirmed that the woman was not acting, but really "could not swim".

Because halfway through sinking into the deep sea, she melted into a long string of foam, from the outside to the inside, without leaving even a trace.

The sea of ​​suffering returned to silence again.

Ji Jingqiu frowned and murmured:

"I thought Chaoge was hiding some great secret, but I didn't expect it to be just a projection of a sea of ​​suffering."

"I thought this woman was very strong, but it turns out she's just a landlubber who can't swim."

"What is this all about..."
