Chapter 743: Void Bodhi

Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk Mystic Realm.
The Lady of Earth sat quietly on the riverbank. At that moment, she no longer looked at the monkey. Her expression was rather calm, as if nothing had happened.
She was indeed a little shocked.
She naturally knew that Saint Slayer Li Changshou had been chased out of the Primordial World by the Dao Ancestor.
In the Purple Cloud Palace, she had also sensed the battle between the Dao Ancestor and the Grand Pure One.
The Lady of Earth knew everything that happened on the day Jie School was destroyed. She even used the eyes of the Seven Emotions incarnation to witness the greatest game since the Primordial World.
Similarly, the final outcome of the battle was clear to the Lady of Earth.
The Grand Pure One was sealed, Li Changshou was expelled, Jie School was destroyed, and the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Courts was trapped by the Heavenly Dao.
However, why did I see the mark of Changshou on the emissary of Great Prosperity, who was chosen by the Dao Ancestor...
The Lady of Earth had never told anyone about the indestructible Golden Soul. If only she knew about Li Changshou, whose cultivation technique had already matured and was successfully cultivated by the monkey...
The matter here was really a little interesting.
The Lady of Earth suddenly laughed with a complicated expression.
Did the Dao Ancestor seize the cultivation technique that I had given Changshou? Or did Changshou predict that the monkey would come to the Netherworld and use that technique to give me a hint?
Or am I thinking too much? Is this purely a coincidence?
If it is not a coincidence, could it be that Changshou is asking for help from me? However, how can I let the monkey cultivate the Indestructible Golden Soul...
The Lady of Earth pondered quietly and unknowingly fell into deep thought.
Even when Sun Wukong swaggered out of Fengdu City and returned to the mortal world, the Lady of Earth did not react.
When she returned to her senses, she realized that the various parts of the Reincarnation Immortal Island had already quietened down. The ten Yama Lords were discussing the matter of the heavens suing them.
This...
Even though the Lady of Earth had seen many storms and seen all kinds of schemes, she was still confused.
She could not be sure if Li Changshou was asking for help, nor could she be sure if the Golden Soul technique was unique to her and Li Changshou.
In fact, if she were to expose something because of her rash actions, she would be more likely to ruin the possibility of Li Changshou's plan from being executed.
"Ah..."
The Lady of Earth sighed softly and continued to sit by the riverside to wash her long hair.
She could only assume that Sun Wukong was related to Li Changshou and was a pawn arranged by Li Changshou. Hence, she was prepared to attack in advance and thought about what she could do.
If the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc suddenly trembled, the Heavenly Dao could be "paralyzed" for an instant.
Could this be what Changshou wants?
It was naturally quite tiring to fight with the Dao Ancestor's teacher. It was also quite tiring to test their thoughts with the Dao Ancestor's opponent.
She just had to prepare and wait for the future.
How does the saying go?
Yes, to be safe.

...
In a Minor Chiliocosm, Li Changshou sat in front of an orchid-shaped water-type spiritual root and deduced in his heart.
At the last stop, he had buried another 15 Illusionary Spirit Spikes. The progress he had made in the past 13 years was quite pleasing.
He still had to thank Sun Wukong for helping him divert the Dao Ancestor's attention.
After so many years of traveling from the west of the trichiliocosm to the east, he was now heading to the north.
He found more than 9200 traces of the Great Dao.
He used more than 3600 of the Great Dao's traces.
Eighty percent of the basic Great Dao that constituted the Heavenly Dao had been embedded with the Illusionary Spirit Spikes.
Actually, that was enough.
However, Li Changshou had a very special feeling. His bones were filled with stability. At that moment, he was still not satisfied. He wanted to do whatever he could before he officially attacked the Dao Ancestor.
Even if he only increased his chances of winning by one hundred and twenty percent, it was enough for him to get busy for a while.

He would teach steadily and be steady.
I wonder if the Lady of Earth has received the signal I sent.
As long as Sun Wukong goes to the Netherworld, the Lady of Earth should be able to see it. Moreover, Sun Wukong has the unique "Indestructible Golden Soul" technique that I had taught him. I wonder if the Lady of Earth can recognize him.
Although Li Changshou did not want the Lady of Earth to attack, to be safe, if the Lady of Earth, a "secondary Dao Integration", interfered at the crucial moment, he would definitely increase his chances of winning.
How could he hide this from the Dao Ancestor?
It was very simple. The Golden Soul Technique was deduced and comprehended by the Void Bodhi.
Li Changshou simulated the entire comprehension segment. Under the gaze of the Heavenly Dao, he wrote down the cultivation incantation for the Undying Golden Soul Technique. Moreover, the incantation did not have any similarities to the incomplete cultivation technique that the Lady of Earth had given him back then.
That was why he had used Sun Wukong's essence soul to send a letter under the eyes of the Heavenly Dao.
Of course, the greatest meaning of this technique was to strengthen Sun Wukong's essence soul and make up for Sun Wukong's greatest shortcoming when he fought. It also allowed Sun Wukong to increase his Dao Realm simply and directly.
The flaw was that he was prone to suffering from hair loss whenever he was thinking about cultivation techniques.
1
He had to prepare for the worst. He would pretend that the Lady of Earth did not receive the "signal".
If the Lady of Earth could attack, it would be wonderful.
If she did not make a move in time, it would not affect the overall situation.
A breeze blew past. The spiritual root in front of him swayed gently as if it was begging for mercy. There were two layers of maturing array formations set up around it. It would take a few months before it could pluck the spiritual herb.
He had been thinking about how to remove the shackles of the Heavenly Dao to the Dao realm.
When he cultivated to the level that the Void Bodhi was at, the Great Dao was everything to him and the foundation of him gaining a foothold.
It would be a problem if he did not attempt to undo the Great Dao.
At that moment, the more depressed, helpless, and unwilling he was to give up, the more at ease the Dao Ancestor felt towards the "Void Bodhi".
If I want to mimic someone well, I have to figure out his true state of mind. I have to make the performance convincing from the inside out and respect the late original character. I have to fully show the character's nature.
"Primordial World Film and Television Discussion."
Seriously.
The Void Bodhi's identity had indeed helped him greatly.
From the time he chased after the Void Bodhi and planted a demon in his Dao heart, to the time he buried the Heavenly Fiend Supremacy's Spirit Core under the Reincarnation Pagoda, to the time when he was forced to leave the Primordial World, he immediately counterattacked.
The entire plan was about to end.
From when he was in the light and the Dao Ancestor was in the dark, to when he was in the dark and the Dao Ancestor was in the light, to when he took the initiative step by step and deeply comprehended this world, it had already established the subsequent victory.
In fact, since the Dao Ancestor could not wait to attack and let the Grand Unity Immortals kill the rock and Jie School, the Dao Ancestor had already walked towards defeat.
He had lost because the Dao Ancestor was not confident in the script of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
He had lost because the Dao Ancestor could not defeat the Grand Pure One in battle.
All the subsequent efforts that Li Changshou had made could be seen as the smallest price he had to pay to kill the Dao Ancestor.
The Pangu God had actually left behind a backup plan. However, it was a little complicated. There was not much that he could understand.
Why did the Heaven-Opening Axe split into three parts?
The Heavenly Dao Saint could already refine wind, fire, water, and earth. He could only reopen the world after destroying it.
There was actually another explanation for the three-piece suit.
The Saint controlled the Taiji Painting to destroy Yin and Yang, causing the clear and turbid to reverse and return to the Chaos.
The Saint controlled the Pangu Banner to cut open the Chaos and create another realm.
The Chaos Bell could accommodate a Minor Chiliocosm. If he used the Chaos Bell's mystical ability to accelerate and slow down time, he could actually squeeze countless living beings in this Minor Chiliocosm. As long as time accelerated, he could last until the new world stabilized.
During this process, the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor naturally collapsed.
However, the problem was that there were too many living beings in the Primordial World. The Chaos Bell could not be collected completely. The casualties would be extremely heavy. It was not bad if 30% of the living beings in the Primordial World survived.
"Ah..."
Li Changshou sighed softly in his heart. He stared at the spiritual herb in front of him and a few deep questions flashed across his mind.
The end of the Primordial World, the return of the world, the evolution of the Chaos Sea, and the destruction of the tangible world.
That was a question that he could not avoid discussing when he faced the Dao Ancestor again. Only when he defeated the Dao Ancestor in the answers to those questions would he have the confidence to point at the Dao Ancestor's nose and scold, "You hypocrite. You want to dominate the tangible world."
Just thinking about it made him feel relieved.
Li Changshou took the initiative to activate the power of the Heavenly Dao. He opened the cloud mirror and looked at Sun Wukong's current situation.
Heh, the monkeys were shocked.
In Huaguo Mountain, a group of monkeys that were surrounded by negative karma jumped around. They enjoyed the joy of having endless lifespans and did not know that a calamity was about to arrive.
After going to the Netherworld, Sun Wukong destroyed the Life and Death Book and Huaguo Mountain, allowing the monkeys of Huaguo Mountain to live forever.
This was actually a problem with Sun Wukong's understanding.
Just because the Book of Life and Death was written off did not mean that the monkeys would not die. It only meant that after the monkeys passed away, they would be hung until their bodies could not take it anymore and become lonely ghosts.
The Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Brush were complementary Dharma artifacts of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disc. Their main function was to determine the lifespan of this life according to the merit and negative karma of the previous few lifetimes of the soul.
If the Book of Life and Death was nameless, he could live forever. The world had long been crushed by living beings in the ancient mid-term period before the Reincarnation system was established.
It was purely an excessive understanding.
Forget it. It's my fault for not teaching him well.
The outcome of those monkeys is destined to be very tragic.
Thinking about that, Li Changshou could not bear to see it happen. After all, the monkey had done something bad out of kindness. The Dao Ancestor had been plotting behind the scenes.
The last person who had been schemed against by the Dao Ancestor was actually Li Changshou.
It was useless to watch any longer. He would prepare again and go to the Purple Cloud Palace in a few years.
Li Changshou raised his finger and was about to click the image in front of him when his eyelids twitched.
The image in the cloud mirror spun and locked onto the East Heavenly Gate.
There, an old man dressed in white and had a kind expression was holding a horsetail whisk and stroking his beard. He left the East Heavenly Gate and rushed towards Huaguo Mountain.
Taibai Jinxing's impersonator.
The corners of Li Changshou's lips twitched. However, the fake body of the Void Bodhi did not dare to have such a reaction. Instead, he frowned slightly and pinched his fingers to deduce.
The Heavenly Dao did not guard against the Void Bodhi. He easily deduced what had happened.
Li Changshou was originally not good at deduction. He was good at using trial-and-error.
However, after he occupied the Dao Body and essence soul of the Void Bodhi, he naturally absorbed the Void Bodhi's essence soul and mastered the deduction method.
Indeed, after deduction, he learned that the four Dragon Kings of the Four Seas Dragon Palace and a few Yama Lords of the ten underworld halls had gone to the Lingxiao Hall to report to the imperial court.
The Dragon Palace accused the Beautiful Monkey King of the Water Curtain Cave of Huaguo Mountain for stealing and causing trouble in the Dragon Palace. They even snatched the Sea-Calming Divine Needle. That was a huge mistake.
It was even more intense in the Netherworld. The Yama Lord directly accused Sun Wukong of destroying the Book of Life and Death and caused the Netherworld to be in turmoil. It was a huge crime.
The Jade Emperor immediately expressed some appropriate anger and was about to order the capture of the demonic monkey. However, the Heavenly Courts' messenger pigeon beside the Jade Emperor, Taibai Gu, stood up.
The impostor's angle of defense for the monkey was also strange. He did not say that the monkey was in the wrong first, nor did he say that the Life and Death Book would be destroyed and how many living beings would be affected. Instead, he said that the beautiful monkey king could actually beat the Dragon King and restrain the Yama Lord. He naturally had true abilities.
The Jade Emperor pulled a long face. The immortals in the Lingxiao Hall fell silent.
Although Taibai Jinxing's words were reasonable, they had heard the opposite argument from somewhere.
"The Heavenly Courts seek immortals and gods. They cannot only recognize abilities. They value morals."
That was what the Jade Emperor had written in the Heavenly rules.
However, in the end, the Jade Emperor did not say anything. He accepted Taibai Jinxing's suggestion and ordered Taibai Jinxing to recruit the Beautiful Monkey King and come to the Heavenly Courts to do something.
That was why Li Changshou saw what he saw through the cloud mirror.
After thinking about it, Li Changshou continued to watch for a while. He saw the impostor ride a cloud to Huaguo Mountain and reveal some immortal power. Therefore, he acted mysterious and tricked Sun Wukong.
When Sun Wukong heard that the Heavenly Courts had recruited him to be a high-ranking official, he was naturally overjoyed.
He summoned the monkey grandchildren and the various demon kings of Huaguo Mountain. He said that he would go to the Heavenly Courts to play and explore the mountain. If the Heavenly Courts was a good place, he would move Huaguo Mountain up.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
That was probably inflation.
Even he, a former Heavenly Courts official, did not dare to say such words!
After turning off the cloud mirror, Li Changshou did not look at the subsequent matters. It was nothing more than the scene of "Assistant Ma Wen fighting the heartless Heavenly General".
According to his understanding of Sun Wukong, he would definitely be able to make a lot of good friends in the Heavenly Courts. The situation would definitely be very lively.
Unfortunately, his cloud mirror could not detect the Heavenly Courts. If he forcefully watched, he would be easily noticed by the Dao Ancestor.
After picking this spiritual herb, he would continue to bury snitches.
Li Changshou sat quietly and stared at the spiritual herb in front of him. He tried his best to empty his mind.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed.
The orchid grass in front of him flickered with a light glow. It was ready to be plucked.
Li Changshou released his pressure and made the living beings attracted by the spiritual herbs move aside.
He actually did not have much use for such a spiritual herb. He was just putting on an act and creating some clout. Even if he plucked some and brought them back, the Void Bodhi did not have any alchemy methods that would require it.
With his Dao Realm and cultivation level, if someone could snatch the Postnatal Spirit Root in this remote place, Li Changshou... would write the Void Bodhi's name backward.
I'll pluck it. I don't care about the last bit of medicinal essence.
That's not right. The Void Bodhi should be extremely concerned about the herb. After all, it carries the hope of unlocking the Void Bodhi's Dao realm shackles.
If he could not bear it, there would be trouble so he had to endure it.
Hence, after another fourteen to sixteen hours, it was the morning of the second day.
Li Changshou was blessed. He took out a jade box and slowly approached the spiritual herb. He smiled faintly and enjoyed the faint satisfaction.
At that moment...
A wisp of Dao runes suddenly appeared on the left. A cow's moo entered his ears, causing Li Changshou to freeze.
He turned his head with some effort and saw a fog appear in the forest beside him. A green ox walked out from it, and there was an old man with half-closed eyes on his back.
Grand Supreme Elder?
Green ox?
Li Changshou's Dao heart trembled and he almost bit the tip of his tongue.
Just as he thought that he had revealed a flaw, the Grand Supreme Elder said, "Can I use pills to exchange for your precious medicine?"
The Grand Supreme Elder would go out to travel when he had nothing to do. Is he out to pick herbs?
This!
Li Changshou's heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, he had a bold idea.
Should I meet the Grand Supreme Elder in advance?
Tell the organization that I'm back?
If the Grand Supreme Elder took action and placed some materials in the Tushita Palace's Golden Core, he might really be able to let Sun Wukong have the strength to overturn the Heavenly Courts and make the Dao Ancestor unable to clean up the mess. From then on, he would create the best opportunity to enter.
That would do.
