I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 285 Imperial Decree
The voice of the Emperor of Heaven came from outside the Taoist Palace, revealing a gentle smile and solemnity.

Zhou Mu's scalp exploded and his heart beat wildly - was he caught? ?

At this moment, he was a physical form transformed from a thought, and he did not have a specific appearance or physical form like before. At this moment, he found that Master Erlang gave him a meaningful look.

Zhou Mu's heart moved slightly.

"Scrib keeper?" The Emperor's gentle voice with a smile sounded again, floating in the air, very kind.

Master Erlang looked at Zhou Mu again.

Zhou Mu woke up in shock, looked around the stagnant Yuding Dao Palace, and shouted:
"Your Majesty, I am here!"

The moment he finished speaking, he noticed that the scene around him had changed, and he was forcibly "grabbed" out of his memory fragment by an extremely powerful force.

By the time everything became clear, they were already in the [Lingxiao Palace].

"uncle."

Before Zhou Mu could stand firmly, he heard a clear voice ringing in his ears. He subconsciously glanced sideways - it was Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun.

True Lord Erlang had blood on his forehead and smiled as he spoke:
"So this fellow Taoist is the book keeper that my uncle mentioned? I noticed that he was secretly learning the Dharma through memory fragments, so I caught him and almost killed him."

The Emperor smiled kindly:

"Erlang, you almost made a big mistake, but since there is no conflict, it just happens that I was looking for the clerk who guards the book."

He slowed down, his expression became serious, and he looked at Zhou Mu and said calmly:

"Scribler, I think you have heard of this person before. He is my nephew, the Holy Erlang, the True Lord of the Mysterious Way of Qingyuan."

The True Lord bowed slightly.

The Emperor looked at him and asked kindly:

"How is the injury on your forehead?"

"Still recovering." Erlang Zhenjun said in a low voice, with blood on his forehead.

The Emperor snorted coldly and explained to Zhou Mu:

"You should know that my nephew has an amazing divine eye, but it was dug out by that old ghost Yuanshi and given to his descendants. Humph!"

Zhou Mu wanted to force out a look of shock to express himself - but he couldn't. He was just a vague human figure formed by his thoughts, and his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were all hazy like fog.
Or maybe it was just fog that made it impossible to express the expression.

just
Zhou Mu felt strange, but he had a rough idea of what was going on. He guessed the whole story and realized that Erlang Zhenjun was really good at making up stories.

The Emperor looked solemn and heavy at this moment, and seemed to be angry, but he soon calmed down and said slowly:
"It's a pity that Erlang Ru was exposed too quickly. I didn't expect that old ghost to be so cruel. He didn't care about our old friendship at all and directly gouged out your third eye."

Zhou Mu's eyes look at his nose and his nose looks at his heart.

The Emperor of Heaven stretched out his hand and tapped lightly, and spiritual light fell on Erlang Zhenjun's forehead. The latter's expression became much calmer, and the blood on his forehead gradually dissipated.

Then, He looked at Zhou Mu again, and said in a solemn voice:

"The clerk."

"Your Majesty, I am here."

"Do you know what happened in [the present time]? We have lost contact with Li Jing and others, and it seems that there is a big change in the present time, and the three gates of heaven, earth, and world are open?"

Zhou Mu bowed and said with a wry smile:

"To reply to your Majesty, I still haven't figured out what happened at that time. I only know that [Emperor Ku], [Ananda] and other creatures came, and a shocking war broke out."

After a pause, he continued:

"That battle was too intense, it was a fight between Daluo and I escaped early, and Youshou, Li Jing and others didn't make it in time."

The Emperor of Heaven looked slightly solemn.

Zhou Mu raised his head:
“However, after I left, I saw Jianmu reaching the sky, and I saw Emperor Ku holding Jianmu and smashing it on Kunlun Ruins.”

"The Jianmu tree shattered into three portals, connecting the sky and the earth, and the ruins of Kunlun fell to the earth!"

The Emperor listened quietly and narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Kunlun was destroyed? No wonder, Li Jing and others are afraid..."

This great celestial master who dominated the entire Epoch sighed softly and said:

"Fortunately, you escaped, so it's not a complete annihilation."

Zhou Mu was respectful and could not help but ask:

"Your Majesty, how did you detect me?"

"This."

The Emperor of Heaven said casually:
"The old ghost Yuanshi's control over the past years has greatly decreased, and he suffered a loss. Otherwise, I would not be able to bring you here."

As he spoke, the Emperor tapped lightly on the armrests of the throne with his fingers. Fairy energy flowed and swirled throughout the entire Lingxiao Palace, gathering into a sea of fog.

Zhou Mu's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, uncle."

Erlang Zhenjun spoke at the right time:
"I am outside the great world of the present time, eavesdropping and spying on Guanyin, who is issuing a decree within the great world. The content of the decree is as follows."

"We must depose the current Demon King of the Southern Dynasty and make the [Buddha Mother] who is suppressing the Leiyin Temple ascend to the throne and become the new emperor."

Zhou Mu's heart began to flutter again.

"Oh?" The Emperor of Heaven said casually, "Is there such a thing? If I remember correctly, then the Southern Emperor must be a monkey, right? Well, half a monkey."

As He spoke, He waved His hand:

"Don't worry about it."

"But uncle." Erlang Zhenjun frowned slightly: "Aren't you talking to the Buddha?"

The Emperor smiled, but did not answer. He just repeated:

"Don't worry about it."

After a pause, He added:
"The Buddha Mother is not serving the Buddha wholeheartedly. I guess there is some kind of deal between them, such as lifting the blockade and allowing Peacock to break through to the realm of the Great Divine Power?"

Zhou Mu listened quietly, his mind turning over and over again. Regardless of the Emperor of Heaven and the Buddha, I am afraid it is really as Senior Yuanshi said.
It's not as it seems on the surface, they are not fighting or trying to trick each other.

He understood what Senior Yuanshi said. It was not so easy for the Supremes to quarrel. In other words, there were no enemies or friends among the Supremes. They were all fighting over the Dao.

Then, I heard in Lingshan before that the Buddha wanted to refine Senior Yuanshi into a [Great Pill].
Zhou Mu's thoughts turned around and around, and he felt as if a huge whirlpool was opening, or rather, the hazy fog on the whirlpool was dissipating.

I just don’t know how much time, or how many years, I have left to grow and become stronger.

The voice of the Emperor of Heaven sounded at the right moment:
"For the time being, there is no need to worry about the Buddha. Do not interfere with what He wants to do. Then, stay with the clerk."

"Your Majesty, I am here."

"Do you have the ability to sneak into the Heaven Gate? Behind the Heaven Gate is my Heavenly Palace."

Zhou Mu quickly calmed down, thought about it, and said respectfully:

"That's probably difficult. After the fall of Kunlun Ruins, it became a restricted area of Kunlun, a Jedi where even the gods cannot enter. It's filled with immortal currents."

After a pause, he continued:

“Even if I can sneak into the Kunlun restricted area, I may not be able to enter the Heavenly Gate. I don’t know how many powerful beings are staying there.”

"For example, there are ancient beings sitting in the Biyou Palace, such as Emperor Ku, Ananda, and an unknown person called Jujun, and even Confucius, a human."

The Emperor frowned:

"Is this so"

He pondered for a moment and said:
"Try to find a way to sneak into Tianmen. It will be of great benefit to you. At the same time, I have something very important for you to do. If you need any help, just let me know."

Zhou Mu's heart was moved, but he showed no signs of it. He just asked curiously:

"Important? I don't know?"

The Emperor of Heaven pondered for a moment, and finally nodded - He had no one to use in the [present time], and although the clerk could not be trusted, he could be considered half of his confidant.

"The foundation of the Heavenly Court lies firstly in me, secondly in the [Emperor's Seal], and thirdly in the [Heavenly Court Immortal Records]."

Zhou Mu perked up and listened carefully.

The Emperor continued:
"Yes, a certain Taoist friend is very dishonest and has great ambitions. He took away the Heavenly Emperor Seal and the Heavenly Palace Immortal Records - but no matter where he hides it, it must be in the Heavenly Palace."

Zhou Mu's heart sank suddenly as he thought of the top floor of the treasury and the creature in the river that was infinitely close to the Supreme Being.

He took a deep breath:

"What did your majesty say?"

The Emperor of Heaven shook his head slightly without explaining, his eyes were very deep:
"That fellow Taoist is on the opposite side of me. Since you are a general under my command, you will fight against him sooner or later. You may even be the main force."

Zhou Mu stretched out his hand, clenched it into a fist, and hit his chest hard, making a dull sound:
"If there comes such a day, I will definitely go all out!"

This time, he was telling the truth—the only truth of the day.

The Emperor of Heaven looked at Zhou Mu approvingly:
"I will definitely fight that fellow Taoist, and it won't be long. But it's not appropriate for you to know now, as it's easy to get scared before the battle."

"Scribe, you should become stronger as quickly as possible and attain enlightenment as soon as possible."

Zhou Mu smiled bitterly:

"For me, enlightenment is too far away."

The Emperor of Heaven spoke calmly:
"With my help, it's just to prove the truth. It's nothing."

He raised his eyelids, his expression solemn, and issued the command:

"At this time, you are the only one under my command who survives in the world. Perhaps in the future, you will really need to face that fellow Taoist and fight against him. He can be called "He" and is close to my level. You are growing too slowly. If you continue like this, you may not be able to catch up."

"Then, Scribe, after returning to the [Present Time], you can go to the [Leiyin Temple] to meet the current owner of the Leiyin Temple. He is not under the command of the Buddha and is opposed to the Buddha, but his relationship with me is still good."

Zhou Mu asked tentatively:
"The Leiyin Temple on the Mountain in the Past? The so-called Great and Unrighteous Buddha? Who is he?"

The Emperor shook his head without answering, but said:

"Behind that man is the solemn ancient Buddha. Go meet him and tell him my will, and have him pass it on to the solemn ancient Buddha."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the solemn ancient Buddha will lend you a helping hand."

"Also, you can see the Buddha Mother at the Leiyin Temple and convey my message to her so that she can tell the Buddha. Perhaps..."

"Buddha will also help you."

Zhou Mu’s heart was beating wildly. The majestic ancient Buddha, Lord Buddha!

Two supreme ones.

"Don't go to the Northern Dynasty now. Don't set foot there lightly. Behind the Northern Emperor is [Emperor Jun], who is my great enemy."

The Emperor of Heaven is still narrating and paving the way for the 'Scrib Keeper'. It seems that he has made up his mind to support the 'Scrib Keeper' to confront the person who stole the Emperor of Heaven's Seal.

"Behind the Netherworld on Earth is Daoist Hou Tu. We can approach him appropriately and try to form an alliance."

"As for the Maitreya Temple in Foshan now."

The Emperor's voice slowed down, as if he was pondering for a long time before he said:
"It's best not to get in touch with it. The Maitreya Buddha behind it is elusive."

Zhou Mu listened and took notes, and gradually it became clear that after the Southern Dynasty was Buddha, and after the Northern Dynasty was Emperor Jun.

Foshan in the past and present, namely Leiyin Temple and Maitreya Temple, with the solemn Buddha and Maitreya Buddha behind them respectively.
The underworld on earth is represented by Hou Tu.

What about Amitabha, the Lord of Lapis Lazuli, and Taiyi among the Supreme Ones?
It's impossible that they don't have any backup plans or arrangements in this vast universe, right?
Zhou Mu wanted to ask about the doubts in his heart, but the Emperor of Heaven was already waving his hand:

"Let's stop here for now. Take these two great principles with you. One is for Leiyin Temple, and the other is for the Buddha Mother. These two Buddhas can help you grow."

"Also, if there is a chance to sneak into [Tianmen], you can come and seek help."

"Let's go back!"

The Emperor of Heaven waved his sleeves, and the scene in front of Zhou Mu's eyes began to blur. He saw two imperial edicts floating over, and saw an unknown spiritual light bestowed by the Emperor of Heaven, which was baptizing his soul.

The echo of this Supreme One's voice lingers in my ears.

"In this way, you may be able to achieve Daluo soon."

It suddenly got dark in front of my eyes, and when I opened them again, I was back in Jiuku City, in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
