Somewhere in the Nine Netherworlds, in time and space, Yang Jian, the True Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao, was thinking about why the World Tree showed the meaning of the end of an era, and why it was transforming into a symbol of the end of an speaking, the only one who can be called the symbol of the end of the era should be Lingbao Tianzun, who is born as the other shore. Apart from him, who has existed since the beginning of the era, it is extremely difficult for anyone else to become the ultimate symbol of the ten thousand worlds. But the time is different now, Yang Jian knows that Yuanshi Tianzun and his two masters have planned to complete the reduction to nothingness in this era, preparing for the three of them to transcend the heavens and myriad worlds together. It is possible that Lingbao Tianzun, who is the symbol of the end of the era, has now abandoned the constraints of the heavens and all worlds on him, returned the authority of representing the symbol of the end of the era to the world, and freed himself from the constraints of the symbol of the end. "Is it because of Master Lingbao? Or is there some other factor that I don't know about?" "The time to become the other side, the next era..." Yang Jian frowned, remembering what Yuanshi Tianzun once said to him, saying that the time for him to reach the other shore would not be in this era, but in the next era, in the next heavens and myriad worlds. As the most outstanding disciple of Yuxu Palace, his realm has already stood among those who have achieved perfect creation. His understanding of the fundamental great way of himself has been completely perfected. The only thing left is to reach the other shore and condense the illusory fruit of the way. Originally, with such profound accumulation of the Great Dao, Yang Jian planned to reach the other shore before the end of the catastrophe, but was stopped by Yuanshi Tianzun, who said that now was not the best time for him to reach the other shore, and the best time for him to reach the other shore would be in the next era. After hearing what Yuanshi Tianzun said to him, Yang Jian was confused. Wasn't the world already at the end of the catastrophe? Wasn't there no next era? How come from the words given to him by Yuanshi Tianzun, he could hear that there is still the next era, and it seems that there is still the existence of the next heavens and myriad worlds? Although he was skeptical about whether there would be another era, out of trust in Yuanshi Tianzun, Yang Jian still followed Yuanshi Tianzun's instructions and did not try to reach the other side before the end of the catastrophe.
Instead, he secretly sneaked into the Nine Netherworld, using the mysterious power of the Eight-Nine Profound Art and the power left by the Taoist Tiansha, and completely changed his identity into the Nine Netherworld Blood Demon. He thereby became the pseudo-other shore being of Jiuyou, ready to become the world-destroying demon in Jiuyou to assist in completing Yuanshi Tianzun's plan. "It seems that I have to find a time to have a good contact with the person born on the other side of Jiuyou, to see if he is the one chosen by Master to be reduced to the void, and his tree-shaped magic weapon..." Yang Jian thought of this possibility, and somewhat suspected that the other party's birth was the result of the joint efforts of the Three Pure Ones, and that he was the one chosen by them to be the product of reduction into nothingness. However, this possibility seemed extremely small to him. As Yuanshi Tianzun's most valued disciple, Yang Jian, who has the potential to reach the other side, knows about the relationship between Yuanshi Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun, and knows some special relationships between them. For example, the Three Pure Ones, the three beings born to be on the other side, are actually a trinity. They respectively occupy the most important position in the heavens and all worlds, which is somewhat similar to the three gods in Indian mythology. However, the result of the Three Pure Ones being one also increased the difficulty for Yuanshi Tianzun and others to perform the Reduction into Emptiness. If they want to transcend the heavens and myriad worlds and become a Taoist, the three of them must perform the Reduction into Emptiness together to perfection, and the product of the Reduction into Emptiness must be the same person. This kind of relationship made Yuanshi Tianzun feel very troubled. Ever since the Taoist achieved the Tao fruit and transcended the heavens and all realms, he had already figured out the way to transcend, and he had chosen Sun Wukong as the person to be reduced to nothingness, and had begun to prepare to be reduced to nothingness. Just wait for Sun Wukong to reach the other side and become an ancient being to take over all the causes and effects of Yuanshi Tianzun. Then he can quietly wait for the end of this era and absorb the power of the era cycle to achieve the Tao fruit. As a result, before Sun Wukong reached the other side, Yuanshi Tianzun discovered the troubling reality that the Three Pure Ones were one. As Yuanshi Tianzun who represented the beginning of the era, Daode Tianzun who existed the era, and Lingbao Tianzun who represented the end of the era, the three of them were, to some extent, one. If Yuanshi Tianzun wants to become a Dao Fruit Recipient, three people must work together to perfect the reduction into emptiness and absorb the power of the epoch cycle together to ripen the embryonic form of the Dao Fruit. Only in this way can they achieve transcendence. Three people must complete the reduction into emptiness at the same time, and none of them can be missing. Although Sun Wukong can be the candidate for Yuanshi Tianzun to be reduced to emptiness, it is difficult for him to inherit the cause and effect of Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun. Seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun had no choice but to give up Sun Wukong, his candidate for the role of Jian Chengkong, and turned to cooperate with Lingbao Tianzun and Daode Tianzun to select another three people to be the candidate for Jian Chengkong. After numerous selections, Yuanshi Tianzun finally chose Meng Qi, the Demon Buddha's backup plan, and chose him as the new Three Pure Ones to take over the cause and effect of the three oldest ones. Because, for the Demon Buddha, whose foundation is destruction and the great way of end, when the end of the era of the heavens comes, no one is more suitable to be the symbol of the end of the era than the Demon Buddha, except Lingbao Tianzun. Only when the Demon Buddha becomes the symbol of the end of the era and his own Taoist fruit is absorbed by Meng Qi, can he take over the cause and effect that symbolizes the end on Lingbao Tianzun and allow the Three Pure Ones to be completely reduced to emptiness and perfection. Of course, the Demon Buddha can become the symbol of the end of the era, and this also requires the role of Lingbao Tianzun. If Lingbao Tianzun had not voluntarily given up his power and did not compete with the Demon Buddha for the symbol of the end of the era. In the original plot, even if the Demon Buddha devoured the entire Nine Netherworlds, it would be difficult for him to become the symbol of the end of the era of all worlds, thus making himself fit in with the trend of doomsday destruction and causing his own power to surge. And now, Ye Tianming is highly valued by Jiuyou. He can completely replace the Demon Buddha and become the new Jiuyou World-Destroying Demon, allowing himself to reach the strongest state when the end of the world comes. At the same time, it will make Yang Jian's original plan to enter Jiuyou and become the Jiuyou World-Destroying Demon fail.
Wow! With a thought, Yang Jian's figure that had transformed into the Nine Nether Blood Demon disappeared in this space and time, and no one knew where he went. At the same time, just when Yang Jian made a move, other pseudo-other shore people in the Nine Netherworlds saw that the Taoist meaning of the end of the era of all worlds on the world tree controlled by Ye Tianming was becoming stronger and stronger. The faces of several people were a little uncertain, and no one knew what they were thinking about, but no one wanted to get close to the edge of the Nine Nether World Tree, and some even hid deeper. Only those who can become pseudo-other-shore people in the Nine Netherworlds, the other-shore power they possess is completely unable to compete with the current World Tree and Ye Tianming. The gap between the two sides is too big. If he approached rashly, he might be used as nutrients by the other party to feed his own World Tree, which would accelerate the process of the World Tree becoming the Nine Netherworld Destroying Demon, making himself even more powerful. A pseudo-other-shore person from Jiuyou, the Black Emperor resides in his own dojo in Jiuyou. He secretly peeks at the World Tree through his divine eyes and feels the meaning of the end, doomsday, and destruction surrounding the tree. "The prototype of the Ending Dao Fruit?" "Is this going to become the world-destroying demon in the Netherworld?" "It seems that we have to formulate a plan to deal with him? We must not let him degenerate into a true world-destroying demon!" Feeling the fluctuations that only occur when the end of the world is approaching, the cold face of the Black Emperor could not help but become solemn. Thousands of thoughts were flowing in his mind, thinking about what changes this would bring to the future. With the status of the Nine Netherworld Demon of Destruction, the closer it is to the destruction of the heavens and myriad worlds, the stronger the power of the Demon of Destruction will be, and it will definitely pose a threat to the ancients, and possibly even the oldest ones. An other-shore being who becomes stronger as he gets closer to the end of the world is not what his original deity, Ancient Buddha Bodhi, wants to see. This will definitely have a major impact on his plan to reduce the number of other-shore beings to nothing. …… Under the tree of Jiuyou World. Ye Tianming displayed the nine moves of Tathagata Palm, and based on his past knowledge of Buddhist scriptures, he participated in the Tathagata Palm created by the Buddha in this world and mastered this magical power of the other shore level. The nine forms of Tathagata Buddha formed by the true meaning of the nine styles of Tathagata Palm evolved into countless forms of Buddha, Bodhisattva and Arhat around their bodies, which forcibly changed and purified the great principles of the Jiuyou area. The vast Buddhist sound echoed above the Nine Netherworlds. Countless golden light rains emanated from the bodies of the gods and Buddhas, making this area like the pure land of the Supreme Sacred Mountain, no longer the evil land of the Nine Netherworlds. An unknown amount of time had passed, but Ye Tianming, who had been comprehending the Nine Styles of Tathagata Palm, suddenly opened his eyes, looked up at a mysterious place in Jiuyou, and examined the area carefully. "I didn't expect to find it so quickly. I thought it would take some more time." I, who was searching for something in a certain area of Jiuyou, just gave him some feedback. I found what I wanted, which made Ye Tianming look happy. Then, he slowly stood up, and the glazed Buddha light that appeared on his body due to his understanding of the Tathagata Palm, as well as the nine images of Tathagata that appeared behind him, all turned into a light Buddha rain that drifted across the sky and earth, adding a hint of Buddha's spirit to the Nine Netherworlds and dyeing it with a piece of pure glazed light. An illusory fruit of the Tao, mixed with glazed light and blood red, towering above the vast sea of suffering, slowly descended from the void. At this moment, the illusory Dao fruit condensed by Ye Tianming seemed to contain more illusory Dao inside. It was surrounded by the two energies of destruction and creation, and was surrounded by thousands of Dao artistic conceptions. A radiance of the great road of Hunyuan Ruyi spanned the eternity of time and space, penetrated the past and the present, and interacted with the aura of the Nine Netherworlds, causing the illusory roads to be condensed into illusory Dao fruits. Obviously, during this period of time, Ye Tianming, with the help of the Tathagata Palm, mastered more illusory avenues of the heavens and all worlds, making his own illusory Dao fruit more complete. "It seems like I've been lucky lately." Ye Tianming put away the withered and flourishing Bodhi, and with a thought, he directly crossed countless time and space and arrived beside him in an instant. At the same time, he also disrupted the time and space secrets of this area, preventing other people from the other side from noticing that he had left here, thus preventing them from affecting Ye Tianming's plan and reducing his gains. …… On the banks of the Yellow Springs River in the Nine Netherworlds.
The Yellow Spring River is a wonder in the Nine Netherworlds. This blood-yellow river full of doom and death runs through the Nine Netherworlds and the Ten Thousand Worlds. Its power radiates to countless time and space, and it is synonymous with death and life and death. In this long blood-yellow river lies the true meaning of the two avenues of life and death. The two opposing islands of life and death maintain a delicate balance in it, interpreting the mystery of life and death. In the past years, the Yellow Spring River had given birth to gods with the attributes of life and death. They possessed legendary powers and some even had the ability to create great gods in the Nine Netherworlds. The self projected by Ye Tianming stood by the river. He was like the evil demon that could be seen everywhere in the Nine Netherworlds. Surrounded by the atmosphere of life and death, he held the demonized Axe of Heaven's Punishment in his hand to block the perception of other people on the other side. With the power of the Avenue of Life and Death, he evolved a Tai Chi diagram of life and death on the Yellow Springs River, connecting it to an unknown space and time, causing the entire Yellow Springs River to surge and emit countless blood-yellow mists. Suddenly, there was a tiny vibration in the Yellow Spring River. It was so tiny that if the pseudo-other side people did not sense it carefully, they would find it difficult to detect the vibration in this area, and would be unable to perceive the changes in this space and time. "coming……" I seemed to have sensed something from Ye Tianming. I looked up at the sky and saw Ye Tianming who had come across time and space. Then I was assimilated by Ye Tianming and returned to my original body. In an instant, the light in the eyes of this ordinary-looking Nine Nether Evil Demon became ethereal, and he showed an attitude of overlooking the vast sea of suffering. It was obvious that his consciousness had been taken over by Ye Tianming. “The origin of life and death!” Looking at the Yellow Spring River in front of him that runs through countless time and space in the Nine Netherworlds, and the Tai Chi diagram of life and death evolved by his clone, Ye Tianming spread the light of his soul and sensed the time and space that was communicated with by the Tai Chi diagram of life and death. The black and white energies of life and death formed two black and white yin and yang fish under Ye Tianming's control, and the Tai Chi image was formed during the flow, penetrating through this unknown time and space in the Nine Netherworld and reaching an unknown mysterious place. The space and time that the Tai Chi diagram of life and death communicates contains the deepest and most profound meaning of death, but it also contains the true meaning of life when all things are born. The two artistic conceptions complement and restrain each other and blend with each other. And this space and time that exudes the atmosphere of life and death is exactly the shortcut that Ye Tianming wants to find. It is the origin of life and death inside Jiuyou, and it is also the place where the Great Emperor Zhenwu is sleeping and attaining enlightenment. The place close to the Tao is a place that was born in the process of the evolution of the heavens and all worlds, which is infinitely close to the Tao. It possesses power of the same status as those on the other side and can be used to refine a magical weapon from the other side. The shortcuts such as the Origin of Life and Death and the Underworld Sea are shortcuts born from the Nine Netherworld. They are the highest places within the Nine Netherworld and one of the only shortcuts left in the Nine Netherworld. (End of this chapter)
