I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 244 Carrying the Tushita plaque, he appeared in the world in a grand manner!
(Ahem, 6k chapters, as usual, I’ll update it tomorrow)
Zhou Mu held up half of the Kunlun decree in his left hand and the Immortal-Slaying Sword in his right hand. He held the sword and seal high with great respect:
"I have sacrificed my life and shed my blood for your majesty. Wherever your majesty desires, that is where my sword will point!"

The Supreme One sitting on the ancient imperial throne nodded slightly, a smile on his face, and spoke slowly, each word sounding like thunder.

"The seal I bestow upon you can control the left half of Kunlun Ruins. However, there is another seal of the left Kunlun in the world."

Zhou Mu's heart tightened.

The Emperor continued:
"Why don't you ask me why I told you that there are two and a half copies of the seal, both of which are exactly the same and belong to the person in charge of Zuo Kunlun?"

Pastor Zhou presided over the ceremony:

"Your Majesty, please make it clear!"

The Emperor nodded peacefully:

"There is a very daring being who also holds half of the Kunlun Decree. His half and the half I gave you are similar in appearance and both belong to the [left half]."

"Yes, the decree in your hand was forged by me personally, and the Golden Mother also helped. Although it is not as good as the decree in the hand of the daring man, it is still extraordinary."

Zhou Mu's face showed confusion:
“Two halves, not symmetrical or complementary”

"Of course."

The emperor whispered, his eyes were filled with coldness:

"That creature has committed great sins. The Golden Mother gave him the seal to use as bait. Once he enters Kunlun with the decree and intends to take control of half of Kunlun Ruins, we will know who he is."

After a pause, the Emperor of Heaven smiled:

"At that time, you will carry out this decree to curb the power that controls Kunlun, and perform a great sacrifice. I will come in person and kill the little thief with my own hands."

His tone was very indignant, and it was obvious that he had a deep grudge against Zhou Mu - first he was scolded twice, and then his real body was melted into the big seat, and he had to be sat on by someone for thousands of years.

At this level of the Supreme Being, one can have whatever he wants. If it were not for the restrictions of other levels, he could be said to be omniscient and omnipotent.

They no longer care about many things, so the thing they care about and value the most is [face].

The Emperor of Heaven was completely humiliated by Zhou Mu and vowed to kill him.

Zhou Mu did not show any abnormality in his expression and nodded heavily:
"I will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust!"

"Ah."

The Emperor nodded calmly. The more he looked at the old man in front of him, the happier he became. He couldn't help but clap his hands and praise him:

"What a pity, what a pity, you were born too late. Otherwise, you might have a place among the supreme beings. Such talent and such opportunity are rare in the world!"

He was excited:

"That little thief has the Three Pure Ones protecting him. You should not look down on him, but you don't have to belittle yourself either. You are no match for him!"

Zhou Mu nodded again, raised his sword and sealed it, and his hunched body straightened up, as if he was ready to fight for the Emperor of Heaven, rushing in all directions and attacking all enemies!

"That old ghost Yuanshi is very perceptive. Let's go back."

The Emperor of Heaven spoke for the last time, his expression solemn again, with majesty, he waved his hand, the old man disappeared, and was sent back to the [present],
And He couldn't stop laughing, his eyes sparkling:

"Yuanshi, Taishang, Lingbao!"

"You guys would never have thought that I could find such a living being even in such a desperate situation, right? Ha!"

"An innate god and demon, who has existed since the beginning of the First Era, was accidentally sealed away and has only been born now. He has great luck and carries the infinite destiny of heaven and earth."

The Emperor of Heaven smiled brightly, and saw through the old man completely.

He has no name, but takes Zhou as his last name. He calls himself the Book Keeper. He comes from the beginning of the universe. He was born as a [True King] and belongs to the [Innate God and Demon]. However, he encountered an accident and was sealed in a source crystal when he was born. He did not break the seal and wake up until the end of the third era.
The key point is that his fate is so brilliant that he should be the one who should be borne the first calamity of the first era!

Even if he accidentally missed the first calamity of the first era, his fate has not changed and he is destined to become the one who will suffer the first calamity of the next era!

I found the treasure.

The Emperor of Heaven clapped his hands and sighed with laughter.

………………

"What kind of past did you two seniors weave for me to make this old man laugh so hard?"

Zhou Mu muttered as the shattered scene before his eyes gradually solidified and he had returned to that quiet hall.

The right hand asked:
"Scribe, have you seen His Majesty?"

Qi Bo cast a look with envy - he had never been summoned by that person until now!

At most, it is just a reward conveyed by the [right hand].

Zhou Mu exhaled, stretched out his hand, and half of a replica of the Kunlun Seal emerged, followed by the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

His right hand suddenly rose up, his face changed, Qi Bo staggered, his eyes widened:

“Slaughter the Immortal!!”

There was a noise coming from behind the dark palace, and it seemed that the creature that had been staying there and had not shown up was also frightened.

Zhou Mu said calmly:

"Your Majesty gave me the Kunlun Seal to protect Kunlun Ruins, and also gave me the Immortal-Slaying Sword to protect the Dao and kill the enemies."

"Your Majesty thinks so highly of you?"

The right hand muttered blankly and took a deep breath:

"Kunlun Seal, I understand. Then you are the one responsible for fishing."

Zhou Mu asked:

"But what about the evil thief that Your Majesty is talking about?"

"Yes, this is the opening of Kunlun, and there are only two things to do." The right hand's tone was very gentle, and he regarded Zhou Mu as his own.

He believed that the other party had a bright future, and as soon as he joined the gang, he was highly regarded by the Emperor of Heaven!
Therefore, the right hand knows everything at this moment:

"One is to catch a daring little thief. That creature has a deep relationship with the Lord of Yuxu and the Lord of Tushita Palace, and he once ruined one of our big plans."

After a pause, the right hand continued:

"The second thing is to transform Kunlun Ruins into an unprecedented altar. It is both an altar and a large urn!"

"At that time, the three sacred ones and four true kings will conduct the great sacrifice, and the little thief and the many powerful creatures caught in the trap will be used as sacrifices to guide a part of His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven to come!"

Zhou Mu was thoughtful:
"A part of His Majesty the Emperor?"

"Yes." The right hand briefly explained the matter of the [Emperor of Heaven] being trapped by [Yuanshi], saying that the true body of the Emperor of Heaven was left in the [present], and the one trapped in the past was the [True Spirit].
Such a grand sacrifice might be able to break the blockade of the Lord of Yuxu and summon some of the Heavenly Emperor's true spirit, either as a hand or a foot.

And a hand or a foot from the Supreme One is no different from that from that of the real Supreme One to the creatures below the Supreme One - they will all be crushed and treated like ants anyway!

"Since His Majesty has bestowed upon you the seal and the treasure, you will be one of the seven chief priests and the person in charge of fishing. This time, you will be in charge of Kunlun's affairs."

The right hand said so, in a solemn tone:
"Your Majesty's vision is never wrong. Although I don't know why Your Majesty chose you, there must be a reason for it."

After a pause, he said complacently:

"And my vision is also extraordinary. From the moment I knew you, I thought you could be of great use, so I took the risk of introducing you to His Majesty - this decision was correct!"

Zhou Mu was shocked. He was going to take charge of Kunlun's affairs?

Take responsibility for yourself. Fish yourself?
He wanted to applaud, thinking that Youshou and the Emperor of Heaven were so wise and had excellent vision!

Thinking about it, Zhou Mu asked:
"Three sacred ones, four true kings on your right. You are sacred, Qi Bo and I are true kings, I wonder who the other four are?"

He needs to find out clearly before making any arrangements.

"Let me take you to see him."

He raised his right hand and waved his palm shrouded in mist. Zhou Mu felt his vision go dark and then clear.

He was shocked and almost cried out when he saw the unexpected person - Lao Chu! !
No, that’s not right. It’s not Lao Chu, it should be [Ba Wang]!
Behind the main hall, [Overlord] and a human True King who had never been seen before sat on both sides, and above them were two "familiar people".

One is Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and the other is
Zhou Mu's eyelids twitched slightly.

"King Qin?"

"Scribe, nice to see you again. You have indeed made the right choice." The King of Qin spoke calmly, stroking the map of mountains, rivers, and the country on his knees.

"let me introduce."

The right hand smiled and said:
"Overlord, Xiang Yu, is an important official under our command, and your majesty is also very optimistic about him."

After a pause, he pointed to another True King whom Zhou Mu had never seen before:
"This one is very famous. He is General Chongtian, Huang Chao."

The old True King opened his eyes and nodded calmly at Zhou Mu, his eyes full of scrutiny and a strong murderous aura.

"As for these two saints, you know the scribe, the King of Qin, the current ruler of the Five Kings City - well, but he is not Ying Zheng, I will tell you the details later."

"The other one is Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. You should have heard of him."

Zhou Mu's face showed astonishment, and he quickly bowed:

"So it's the king himself. I'm so sorry, so disrespectful!"

Li Jing nodded calmly without paying much attention. Instead, he looked absent-minded, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

"There is also the Lord of Biyou Palace." The right hand hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Let's go, I will take you to meet him and get to know him. But remember, be careful with your words and actions. He is under the command of the Jade Pool Golden Mother and has a bad temper."

Zhou Mu nodded calmly, thinking that since the King of Qin was not [Ying Zheng], then who was he?
Where did the real Qin Shi Huang go?
Or, he didn't come back?
Then, what the Golden-Winged Roc said about a living being in the Five Kings City who quietly attained the sacred status, was he referring to the 'King Qin' in front of him?
There was no time for him to think, as Kunlun was about to open. His right hand acted decisively and waved again, and the scene in front of Zhou Mu changed again.

"here it is"

He found himself in a void, with a familiar Taoist temple in front of him. On the plaque of the temple were three large characters "Biyou Palace".

Zhou Mu: ???
Is there really a Biyou Palace?
"The Lord of Biyou Palace naturally lives in Biyou Palace." The right hand said so, thinking that the 'Book Keeper' was moved by Biyou Palace - and it was indeed the case.

But the problem is
Zhou Mu blinked. If this thing is the Biyou Palace, then what is his thing?

"Right hand, please meet the Master of Biyou Palace!"

The right hand shrouded in fog saluted towards the Taoist Palace. The next moment, the gate of the Taoist Palace burst open. It was very dark inside and could not see clearly. One could only see an ancient creature with a terrifying aura sitting there.

"Bookkeeper"

The ancient creature spoke calmly:
"You are the one His Majesty chose? It's surprising. I don't see what's special about you. Hmm, you seem to be a congenital god or devil?"

His right hand was startled. Innate God and Demon? ?
Then how can he be a true king?

Zhou Mu's mind was in turmoil, and he realized that this was an identity fog woven for him by Yuanshi or Taishang Senior.

The ancient being continued:

"Since His Majesty has chosen you, then you must take charge of this great sacrifice. Okay, right hand, you go down first. I need to tell this clerk some confidential matters."

"Yes, Palace Master." His right hand turned into mist and dissipated.

After he left, the ancient creatures in the Taoist Palace waved:
"Come, enter the Biyou Palace."

Zhou Mu obeyed, walked forward step by step, and entered the quiet Taoist palace.

He looked around and found that the layout of the Taoist Palace was almost the same as that of the real Biyou Palace. The difference was that there were not so many treasures.

"The clerk."

The ancient being spoke, and the gate of the Taoist Palace slammed shut, with an extremely compelling look flashing in his eyes:
"You are a variable!" Zhou Mu's scalp tingled, and he had a bad premonition. He sensed a strong murderous intent from this unknown ancient creature! !

what's the situation? ?

After a long time, the murderous intent in the ancient creature dissipated a little, and he spoke coldly:
"The Emperor of Heaven thinks highly of you and gave you the Immortal-Slaying Sword. This is not a good thing. It means that you are very special and can be of great use to Him."

Zhou Mu’s mind turned. Why did it sound like this impostor was not on the same path as the Emperor of Heaven?

The ancient creature continued:

"I will come straight to the point and speak frankly. I am a servant of the Golden Mother. Now I am giving you a chance to turn from darkness to light. Do you choose the Golden Mother or the Emperor of Heaven?"

Three question marks appeared on Zhou Mu's forehead.
According to what the Emperor of Heaven said, isn’t the Queen Mother on the same side as the Emperor of Heaven?
and many more.

Zhou Mu thought of what the Golden Winged Dapeng said after it explored the memory fragments of the Monkey King. He saw several supreme Buddhists and the Golden Mother!

So, Mission Impossible?
His mind was turning over and over again. He thought of the scene when he first met the Golden Mother, and the vast world in the Golden Mother's palace not far from the Lingxiao Palace.

"Who are you?" Zhou Mu asked.

"I? The master of the Green Travel Palace - in the beginning, the Golden Mother seized the Green Travel Palace from Lingbao Tianzun, and then gave it to me."

The ancient creature said calmly:

"Now, answer, the Emperor of Heaven or the Mother of Gold?"

"Golden Mother!" Zhou Mu answered decisively.

"What you say is unfounded."

The ancient creature slightly opened his eyes, still with murderous intent, and after hesitating for a moment, he said:
"I swear to take the Golden Mother as my witness to this oath."

As he spoke, a lamp appeared in the ancient creature's hand. The lamp glowed, illuminating the fake Biyou Palace.

"With this lamp as a support, unless the master of the green lamp is in this Taoist palace, even he cannot witness or interfere with the oath you made, nor will he be aware of it."

The ancient creature spoke slowly:
"Now, take the oath."

Zhou Mu was silent. It was not that he didn't want to swear, but that he was speechless.

After a long time, the ancient creature seemed to be impatient and showed its murderous intentions. Zhou Mu finally woke up and came to his senses:
"In my name, I pray to the Golden Mother as a witness. I swear to heaven and earth that I will respect the Golden Mother and never betray her. I will also keep my mouth shut and never reveal a single thing about what happened today. If I disobey you, heaven and earth will punish me together!"

He spoke each word with great force, and his words gathered into golden text in mid-air, which were eventually copied by the ancient creature on a blank scroll.

"very good."

The ancient creature nodded, a smile appeared on his face:

"In that case, you and I are both close to the Golden Mother. Go down. I have this oath in my hand. If you break it, I will be able to sense it immediately. At that time, you will die and even the Emperor of Heaven will not be able to save you!"

Zhou Mu nodded repeatedly and wanted to retreat and leave, but was stopped by the ancient creature.

"If the right hand asks what I have said to you, you should say that I have asked about your origins and calculated your fate."

"Yes, senior."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene in front of Zhou Mu's eyes distorted, and when he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the outside of the ancient building.

Zhou Mu looked around blankly. The autumn wind was bleak on the street. There were not many passers-by. Most of them were shivering at home.

He heard the voice of his right hand:
"Kunlun will probably be opened tonight. At that time, you will wait outside. After all the living beings have entered, seal the mountain and we will go in. Remember, don't make a big fuss, so as not to scare away the little thief."

As the lingering sound faded away, Zhou Mu nodded into the void and strode back to the ancient building.

After entering the ancient building that blocked all sights and prying eyes and closing the door, Zhou Mu took a deep breath, his back covered in cold sweat.

"Brother Dao?" Porcelain Doll asked doubtfully, "Did something happen to you?"

"It's a long story!"

Zhou Mu walked over to the table in two or three steps, sat down, and wiped the sweat off his face:

"You have to change your face and look - I saw Li Jing."

"Who?!" Porcelain Doll's voice rose several pitches, her eyes widened, she stood up angrily, and rubbed her hands:

"Where is that old guy?"

"Be patient, we can't beat you, we can't beat you!"

Zhou Mu hurriedly tried to comfort her, but did not recount his own experiences - too much talk would lead to mistakes, and when it came to the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen Mother, it was better to keep his mouth shut.

"Tonight, Kunlun Ruins is open. I need to make some preparations in advance. Don't worry, if there is a chance, I will definitely help you kill Li Jing!"

"Brother Yang and Monkey said the same thing!" Porcelain Doll rolled his eyes: "This old ghost is so hard to kill!"

"There will be a chance."

Zhou Mu comforted him for a moment, and told the porcelain doll and the fairy turtle to try to wake up Tianpeng, who had been sleeping for several months - it would be of great use.

Then, he thought slightly, and the green lamp emerged. He first used the green lamp candlelight to burn himself, burning the oath into an empty shell.
Then he used his power as the Lord of the Green Lantern to make major changes to the core of the oath to ensure that there were no worries.
Only then did he perform the [Clone] among the Seventy-two Immortal Arts.

The aged Zhou Mu was split into two, and the part of himself that was separated this time was the [Heavenly God Throne].

The middle-aged Zhou Mu and the old Zhou Mu exchanged greetings. He originally wanted to give his physical training to his middle-aged self.

But the physical strength and magical power are all in the body of the young Zhou Mu, who is now trapped in the capital of the Southern Dynasty.
Helplessly, Zhou Mu had to temporarily use the position of God in Heaven and the position of City God to create this third self.

"Brother Dao, what is this?"

The porcelain doll, whose anger had subsided a lot and was trying to wake up Tianpeng, asked curiously.

"It's time for me to show my true self to everyone today." The two Zhou Mu said in unison.
Zhou Mu, who looked like a 'bookkeeper', handed the genuine Kunlun seal to the middle-aged Zhou Mu, and he himself held the imitation given by the Emperor of Heaven.
The middle-aged Zhou Mu's face twisted and changed slightly, and finally returned to his original appearance.

Zhou Mu's original appearance was the same face he had when he was in Quanjue City.

"I have penetrated the enemy."

The two Zhou Mu said in unison:

"Now, I'm going to start fishing for myself!"

The porcelain doll was puzzled, but the two Zhou Mu did not explain. The clerk sat cross-legged and took care of himself quietly.
The middle-aged Zhou Mu, with his real face, used the power of [City God] - he had become the City God of Five Kings City.

The middle-aged Zhou Mu suddenly disappeared in the ancient building.

"Brother Taoist, where did you go with the other one?" Porcelain Doll couldn't help but ask.

"I, no, or [Zhou Mu], will rush over from the Great Wilderness, holding the Kunlun Seal, and sneak into this Kunlun Ruins!"

The clerk said so, with a smile on his old face:

"A big drama is about to begin. We must awaken Tianpeng. Soon, he will be able to show his true form. I want to see the scene where the two Zhu Bajies meet."

After a while, his smile became even brighter:
"And the mysterious Biyou Palace Master, I also want to know what will happen when the real Biyou Palace arrives and the two Dao Palaces collide?"

The porcelain doll frowned and said:

"But Brother Dao, isn't your other self trapped? It is isolated from each other and is no longer complete, so you can't become a True Immortal."

"If you can't attain the status of a true immortal, how can you be summoned to the Green Travel Palace?"

The old man stroked the jade book, his smile still bright:
"That's what I said, but the situation is different now. The Emperor of Heaven gave me a great gift - the Immortal-Slaying Sword."

The porcelain doll's eyes widened in shock, and the fairy turtle next to it also glanced sideways.

The old man smiled and said:
"In this way, the Immortal-Slaying Sword and the Immortal-Exterminating Sword are both in my hands. I will place the two swords in the spiritual world, waiting for the trapped me to take them away."

"Next, what I need to do as a young man is to comprehend the Immortal Execution Sword Formation to the [Minor Success] level."

"When it is accomplished, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, which has been slightly improved, will be enough to control the Immortal-Slaying Sword and the Immortal-Extinguishing Sword. By urging their power, it will be enough to break through the trapped formation and cut off the Buddha's palm!"

As he spoke, the old man opened the jade book and murmured in a low voice:
"By then, my three bodies will be connected, and we will all be able to attain true immortality. I can use Jin'ao Island to carry the Biyou Palace to come, and I can also bring Confucius to come, and even..."

He stopped talking suddenly, and kept a sentence in his heart - according to the letter written by the young Zhou Mu in the spiritual world,

In that trapped array, there were the Green Ox and the Monkey King.

When the formation was broken, they were also out of trouble.

The old man patted the porcelain doll on the shoulder:

"A big drama is about to begin. The real and fake Zhu Bajie, the real and fake Biyou Palace. Who knows, this time we can really kill Li Jing - he probably can't imagine that you have returned."

The porcelain doll showed excitement on her face, rubbing her hands together:
"That old dog, huh, what will his expression be when he sees me?"

"Li Jing, you don't have a tower anymore!"

………………

A million miles outside the Five Kings City.

Middle-aged Zhou Mu took a step out of the void and slowly emerged.

He walked towards the Five Kings City in the distance, towards the Kunlun Ruins hanging in the sky, using his own face and his own identity.

“I can finally be myself.”

Zhou Mu whispered to himself:

"Second Senior Brother is in the city. You can see him and follow his path to enter Kunlun Ruins."

Wang Chonghe is valued by several True Kings and now holds a very high position.

"Perhaps, I can also go find King Wu Jifa and Fu Sheng Yanhui."

Zhou Mu laughed:

“Do they still think I’m the same person I was nearly a year ago?”

"Kunlun Ruins."

Zhou Mu walked towards the Five Kings City, gazing at the sacred gods and demon kings outside the city, and gazing at the Kunlun Ruins.

He finally made a decision.

I don’t look for my second senior brother, King Wu, or Fu Sheng.

I have three selves that are not afraid of death, so why do I continue to hide it?
Why not express this true self openly and honorably?
"Zhou Mu's name has disappeared from the world for eight years. It's time to reappear."

"The right hand wants to lure me out. So I come out."

"Make a big fuss. The bigger the better."

Walk until night falls, when the Sky Road touches the earth, Kunlun Ruins vibrates, and begins to truly open.
Zhou Mu stopped ten thousand miles away from the Five Kings City and slowly took out the plaque of Tushita Palace.

A terrifying will noticed him.

"I am coming."

Zhou Mu spoke loudly to those terrifying creatures, holding up the Tushita tablet:
"Who still remembers me? Eight years ago, in the sky above Inujue City."

"I have walked out of the cycle of reincarnation and have been reborn from the ashes."

"I am coming."
