Chapter 150 False

* * *

Clatter.

The group traveling stopped, especially Ji Xiang and the Donghua Fairy. As beings who had already entered the realm of Immortality, the abnormal changes occurring within this world could not escape their senses.

"I can't quite say what happened over there, but the beings that exist there... the aura on them is different from just a moment ago."

The Donghua Fairy looked towards the harbor. In her gaze, that area seemed to have a strange sense of separation and disharmony from the world they existed in. Even as an immortal, she found it difficult to accurately describe this change.

Moreover, this change was happening right before their eyes.

"Yo? Is this some kind of Western supernatural power? It's my first time seeing it, quite impressive."

Zhou Sheng also gradually sensed the strangeness of that area.

In a single word, it was...

"Fake."

Ji Xiang spoke, as if following Zhou Sheng's train of thought:

"The sky is fake, the sea is fake, the beings are also fake, but they are indeed fake, and at this moment, they are real."

Zhou Sheng glanced at Ji Xiang. "That's a strange way of putting it. Fake is fake, and real is real. Even if there are supernatural powers that can turn fake into real, the fake becomes real. So where does this 'indeed fake' and 'at this moment real' come from?"

"Or are you trying to say that the other side used some kind of trick, or projected a landscape painting onto the mortal world, creating this state of mixed reality?"

If something can be touched, sensed, seen, even broken, destroyed, and reshaped, then it must be real.

But is that really the case?

"A trick, how could it be something like that..."

Only by seeing the person who cast this great supernatural power could Ji Xiang draw a conclusion. Just by looking at this fake world, he couldn't see the specific information of the other party, but at this moment, his heart was surging with premonition, a warning.

He shouldn't go over. Although the other party couldn't kill him, if he entered that world, it would be difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and he would fall into a trap.

"Can't Celestial Master Sun make a move to help investigate?"

Ji Xiang looked at Zhou Sheng, feeling that it was time for the other party to show some sincerity.

Zhou Sheng couldn't help but complain:

"Hey, are you starting to ask for benefits already?"

"Forget it, consider it sincerity then."

As he spoke, he took out a few talismans from his robe and said to Ji Xiang: "The Celestial Master only makes a move at crucial moments. After all, everyone is shouting to beat the Changsheng Heavenly Palace. Making a move too early will displease other Heavenly Hearts. We'll be the ones suffering."

"Look at this talisman... Although I haven't met any Western cultivators, and I don't know what type their spells are, as long as it's a spell, it follows some kind of rule, and the same goes for spells that land on the target."

"Fire must burn to cause damage, water must drown people to suffocate them, lightning must strike the opponent to kill them."

"If fire can't burn, water can't drown, and lightning can't strike the target, then any spell is just pretty fireworks."

"The Changsheng Heavenly Palace's 'Absolute Prohibition Talisman' can avoid the addition of any spells. Of course, beneficial spells can't be used either, so use it carefully."

Ji Xiang took the talisman. Although he himself had a passive ability to prevent all curses, which he gained after becoming an Ancient Heavenly Devil Body, the current Western cultivators didn't use "curses" as a means of attack, but rather "blessings".

Sometimes, bestowing blessings is also a terrible art of killing and destroying the heart, just like the assimilation of Christ. Can you say that's a curse? Of course not. It's just a great blessing that Christ gives to believers.

You yourself chose to believe in him, rather than being subjected to a curse that turned you into him.

Simple evil is not to be feared; it can be destroyed with force. But evil disguised as good is the real evil in the world, and it's impossible to guard against.

Ji Xiang stepped forward. With a thought, three auras ran out of his body, turning into the Three Corpse Small Gods. Each took a talisman, clenched it tightly, and ran towards that fake world.

With the eyes of the Three Corpse Gods, Ji Xiang once again perceived that huge "presence", and also glimpsed that blue figure.

[Christ, the Holy Son, Incarnate: Christian belief holds that Jesus is the second person of the Trinity, the only begotten Son of God the Father, called the Holy Son. He shares the same essence as God the Father, and existed with the Father before creation, which is the "Word" of God. Because the people of the world sin and cannot save themselves, God sent him to the world, that is, the "Word" conceived through the Virgin Mary, took on flesh and came into the world as a man, to preach the gospel of salvation.]

[False Gospel: Launched with the help of the Eye of God. Projects a false world, and embeds it completely into the real world through words, while maintaining its own false independence. The constructed world exists simultaneously in the false future and the real present. In the world embedded by the Gospel, people's actions maintain the ideal state of the one who propagates the Gospel, and the consensus of the people influenced by Christ will lead this world to a real future.]

Ji Xiang's eyes reflected this information. After thinking for a moment, his heart suddenly stirred!

Future change?!

"Ah... let's try it then."

The blue-clothed preacher suddenly sensed something. He turned his head, and at this moment, a vast white smoke surged like a huge wave, suddenly swallowing him!

* * *

"The Arctic has already arrived here? He just changed his form, preventing me from seeing him?"

Lei Men's Law Sect, Lei Wang (Thunder King), noticed what was happening at the harbor, but after waiting for many days without seeing Ji Xiang, his heart became extremely uneasy. At this moment, his blood was surging even more violently, as if something terrible was about to happen.

And at this time, the Buddha Ghost suddenly sent him a message, saying that Ji Xiang had been lurking in the South Sea, and he didn't even know it.

"If you want to control the South Sea, you must kill the Arctic. Now he even has the art of changing and concealing his aura, making him unpredictable. If the Arctic doesn't die, my heart will not be at peace!"

He originally intended to trick the other party into coming over to kill him, but the other party hid first, which made Lei Wang furious. But just as he was about to do something, the scenery between heaven and earth suddenly changed.

A world of Bitter Sea unfolded, and the environment around Lei Wang changed drastically, but he didn't panic. Instead, he looked at Ji Xiang, who appeared in this Bitter Sea.

"You are..."

He stopped halfway through his words, because Ji Xiang's black Taoist robe had already revealed his identity.

"You colluded with Western cultivators, split the land of the South Sea, and wanted to establish yourself as king, turning this place into a divine kingdom? Do you also want to imitate Japan?"

Ji Xiang didn't act immediately, but instead conveyed the attitude of the North.

"It's not too late to stop now. The human world still needs the power of immortals."

"Of course, you also need to hand over the Dragon Qi on your body."

Lei Wang's gaze suddenly sharpened: "You actually know about this. The imperial court has indeed investigated me deeply, even knowing about the Dragon Qi."

"The Dragon Qi represents the luck of heaven. Possessing it gives you the qualifications to become the ruler of the next era. Is there anything wrong with wanting to turn this land into my divine kingdom? The land under heaven has always been like this since ancient times. If everyone respected the imperial court, then the Qin Dynasty should have lasted for ten thousand generations."

"Arctic True Man... Is this your domain? It looks like half a divine kingdom, but you are still in the territory of the South Sea. Do you think that pulling me into your divine kingdom will stop the worship of the people?"

"I protect this place with favorable weather and abundant harvests. The various law sects in the South Sea regard me as their leader. Now that I have attained the position of Immortal, I should rule here, but I didn't even think about splitting the land now, and the imperial court has already sent you to deal with me."

Ji Xiang: "There's not much difference. You also wanted to trick me into coming over to kill me."

"That's right!" Lei Wang's eyes flashed with lightning: "I don't like to hide anything. Killing you, first, is because you are a great threat to me, second, is because of the personal grudges from Dingjia City, and third, is because someone supports me in doing so. You have quite a few enemies."

"Even the great ghosts in the underworld want you dead."

Ji Xiang: "They want to be resurrected, you want to split the land, so you hit it off? Then let me ask, I heard that you have a Buddha Ghost here? Is he from the underworld, or from Buddhism?"

Lei Wang was honest: "You ask me, I don't know. He seems to be on both sides, right? You should inquire about it, what is the connection between Buddhism and the underworld?"

"Enough idle talk..."

Lotus blooms, the sun appears, the flames of the Great Sun.

It was like a vast world, suppressing down, enveloping the entire South Sea.

Ji Xiang raised his eyes. The flames of the Great Sun even burned through the Bitter Sea world.

"Is this the one the Buddha Ghost said would come to help us?"

Lei Wang sensed two forces colliding in the void. It wasn't in the human world, but in the Taixu, or even more mysterious and immeasurable places.

Those were two magnificent stars, also two Dharma Realms, displaying their power from the void, manifesting through the existence of the human world!

Waves surged in the South Sea, the wind and clouds changed suddenly, and Mount Luojia (Potola Mountain) made a cracking sound, while that vast golden light suppressed Mount Luojia as well!

"It's useless even if the Buddha is here. Today, I must take the land of the South Sea and achieve the original position. Guanshiyin (Avalokitesvara), if you don't want the mountain to collapse and the temple to be destroyed, then retreat quickly. This matter has nothing to do with you!"

"Diamond Realm descends!"

The voice of the Great Sun Tathagata dragged the entire world, and this South Sea land was dragged into his Dharma Realm!

That wasn't an ordinary Dharma Realm, but a boundless starry universe! Countless suns were burning quietly within it, and the figure of the Great Sun Tathagata also began to change, from a great Buddha covered in the flames of the sun, into a faceless halo vajra.

The body was white, possessing the thirty-two marks and eighty minor characteristics, the hands formed the Wisdom Fist Mudra, the head wore the Five Buddhas Crown, and was dressed in wondrous heavenly clothes.

The Great Sun Tathagata manifested in the Diamond Realm as the Unobstructed Vajra. In this realm, the fundamental universe and all the stars were transformed by the Great Sun Tathagata! Illuminating the ten directions of the universe, omnipresent!

"Since I can't find you."

The voice of the Unobstructed Vajra spread throughout the entire South Sea world, echoing within the Diamond Buddha Realm, endlessly.

"Then let's refine all the troubles of the beings in the entire South Sea world here."

"I heard that you are the Great Devil of the world."

"Your troubles must be endless, ceaseless. All beings are refined by the Buddha's fire. Those who are not stained by the Buddha's fire..."

"Are the Great Devil!"

Ji Xiang listened to these voices, then flipped out the True Nothing Second Upper Book.

"False Gospel."

"I'll try using it too."

As the words fell, in the Bitter Sea world, hundreds of thousands of demons who had lost their way, demons flying in the sky, and hundreds of immortal souls appeared.

When Lei Wang saw this situation, he immediately stepped forward, but in the next moment, a finger appeared in his eyes.

The Donghua Fairy struck out a qi, startling Lei Wang, and a cloud of black smoke rolled and rose in the Bitter Sea, wrapping around Lei Wang!

"This is black qi?!"

Lei Wang had some transactions with the Heavenly Kings in Song Ting, so he was naturally familiar with black qi, but he didn't expect this power to attack him. He fell into chaos for a moment. While he was still stunned, the Donghua Fairy unfolded the Han Dynasty immortal technique in her hand.

Spiritual Radiance Dream Teaching Technique.

Lei Wang was pulled into a dream, disappearing here.

And when the others here disappeared, Ji Xiang unfolded the Hungry Ghost Paper.

A pair of huge golden eyes shattered this Bitter Sea world, and the future was changing towards the node where the Great Sun Tathagata was changing. Ji Xiang felt that his existence was disappearing, and golden lotus platforms were growing under his feet.

Everything in the Diamond Realm was the Great Sun Tathagata, the Unobstructed Vajra himself.

Once he entered the Diamond Realm, he would be no exception.

"Six Paths of Reincarnation."

"Open!"

In the Hungry Ghost Paper, countless hungry ghosts were resurrected from the scroll. The gate of the Six Paths of Reincarnation opened with a roar, filling the gap in the Bitter Sea world, and the Unobstructed Vajra was omnipresent. The moment the Six Paths of Reincarnation opened, he also appeared in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

The Swastika character on Ji Xiang's brow shone brightly, and he chanted the vows of the Compassionate Vow Vajra. A tall Dharma shadow appeared in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The true body of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva appeared, united with the mind of the Compassionate Vow Vajra, and began to perform the Dharma against the Unobstructed Vajra.

In the Diamond Realm, the Unobstructed Vajra destroyed all troubles and demonic obstacles, promoting the wisdom of all Buddhas. Everything in this realm was the Vajra itself, and there were endless troubles in the Six Paths of Reincarnation. For a time, they mutually complemented each other, fixing the Unobstructed Vajra within the Diamond Realm, forcing him to manifest his true body.

And the Mount Luojia that was about to collapse also surged with Buddha's light. Ji Xiang glanced at that side, and a thousand-handed Buddha image manifested outside his body.

Thousand Light King Still Abiding Tathagata! The teacher of Guanyin!

"Eh?"

Guanshiyin in Mount Luojia discovered the Buddha form of the Thousand Light King Still Abiding Tathagata, which surprised her greatly, and at the same time aroused other thoughts. She was already here to stop the Great Sun Tathagata, and at this moment, she immediately firmly stood on Ji Xiang's side.

Just as the Compassionate Vow Vajra had said.

Before acting just now, sensing the struggle between Guanyin and the Great Sun, the Compassionate Vow Vajra proposed that as long as the Buddha form of the Thousand Light King was displayed, Guanyin would definitely firm up her position, and would no longer simply stop him, but would firmly drive out the Great Sun Tathagata.

The Buddha form of the Thousand Light King had not appeared for a long time, and it was extremely attractive to Guanshiyin.

"Ksitigarbha, Guanyin, Thousand Light King? Don't say that you yourselves are damaged, even if you are undamaged, so what?"

"All Buddhas return to one, hidden in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, hidden in Mount Luojia, or hidden in the Bitter Sea Realm, it's all useless. The Diamond Realm encompasses everything, and everything returns to the Diamond Realm."

The Unobstructed Vajra was just like his name implied. At this moment, the entrance to the Six Paths of Reincarnation also began to collapse. If the Ksitigarbha King didn't come out of it, then he would really never be able to come out again.

"The Immortal Artifact is collapsing!"

The Hungry Ghost Paper showed signs of tearing, and the Compassionate Vow Vajra was quite surprised. And the Unobstructed Vajra began to guide everything in the present world towards that future of becoming the Original Buddha. A new image also began to appear on his body, but it was not yet complete.

The matter of transforming into a Buddha was destined to happen, and it could not be changed. It was just modifying the future of a certain person in a certain region, trapping him in it. After the cause and effect were reversed, he was destined to become a Buddha, and Ji Xiang was just an insignificant person who was sending the power of the Primordial Beginning.

However, the True Nothing Second Upper Book in Ji Xiang's hand shone brightly, and the Bitter Sea world was frozen. Ji Xiang turned himself into a false existence.

And the collective consciousness of all the false beings here guided this false future towards a real future.

The image on the Unobstructed Vajra's body disappeared. He suddenly looked at this Bitter Sea world. The Western technique was a method he had never seen before, and because of the different ways of performing it through faith, the Diamond Realm could not swallow this false world.

It was at this moment, this momentary daze.

A spiritual talisman flew out from somewhere and landed in the Diamond Realm. The talisman that fell from the Changsheng Heavenly Palace appeared before the Unobstructed Vajra.

"Karma cycle, severed."

The future before the Unobstructed Vajra's eyes exploded before his very eyes!

All conditioned dharmas are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows!

The Demonic Celestial Master intervened in the future with the Heavenly Heart technique. In the snap of a finger, nine hundred births and deaths occurred. The changed cause and effect were reset, and the Unobstructed Vajra forgot what he was going to do in that instant.

It was as if he was going to do that thing, and he would definitely succeed, but now, because of a momentary pause and forgetfulness, he delayed the best time to succeed.

Not paying attention to that future means that the mind will not reach it.

That future will naturally disappear like a bubble!

"Reversing the result to the cause is not that terrible."

In Ji Xiang's ears, the voice of the Palace Master of the Changsheng Heavenly Palace, the Demonic Celestial Master Sun En, actually sounded, and his Heavenly Heart form also descended into the Diamond Realm in an illusory manner, but only an extremely faint outline appeared.

"For those below the Heavenly Heart, it seems unstoppable, but for the Heavenly Heart experts, the karmic cycle is about developing from cause to effect, or reversing from effect to cause. In any case, both the cause and effect conditions need to be complete."

"As long as one of them is destroyed, then this reversed cause and effect will not be established."
