I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 287: Shangqing summons, Qingping sword rings

"Could it be him, the one the king is talking about?"

The old ape with extremely long arms walked into the huge city gate. No demon soldiers questioned him. He looked towards the city center in the distance, towards the city lord's mansion.

The old ape felt a little doubtful in his heart, this God of Heaven was not someone he had not seen before, he was present at the Imperial Capital Festival a year ago.

God, was very weak, he was just a celestial being at that time, but now...
The old ape turned his head, glanced at the Jingguan, then withdrew his gaze and pondered.

Judging from the events in the city of salvation that I have heard these days, God may have made rapid progress in the past year, and it is very likely that he has become a powerful being.
He must be an extremely powerful being, otherwise there is no reason why he could easily take off the head of a powerful demon.

But even so.

Still not enough.

It's far, far, far away, even.
The old ape listened to the discussions around him about tomorrow's banquet, and felt the huge and looming aura of powerful forces in the city, and frowned slightly.

It could even be said that God might not even be able to host the grand banquet tomorrow.

But the king is clearly referring to God, right?
The old ape began to wonder how this little fellow could help the king - but that was, that was the Buddha.

"Whatever, he is a boy that the king values after all."

The old ape exhaled a breath of fresh air and made a plan in his mind. It happened that there would be a banquet held by the Lord tomorrow, and something unexpected would happen at the banquet.
You might as well take this opportunity to see what God is capable of, and if the other party is in desperate situation, you can also save him.

After making up his mind, the old ape pressed down the hat on his head and slowly walked towards the city with interest.

After he left.

Another old monkey, shrouded in a long robe and a hat, came over, rubbing the black knife under the robe with his hand.

"This old guy actually came to save the city?"

The old monkey was thoughtful:
"Could it be that the little fellow that Sun Wukong values so highly has something special about him? Or is it just a trick?"

After hesitating for a moment, the old monkey silently turned into a wisp of black evil wind, picked up the fallen leaves and branches on the ground, and fled in the direction where the old ape disappeared, following closely.

………………

The city lord's mansion, the main hall inside the mansion.

Wu Houshen poured a cup of hot tea and said softly:

"The evil spirit in the city is getting stronger and more ferocious. I don't know how many powerful people have sneaked in. God, is there anything we need to do for tomorrow's banquet?"

Zhou Mu lowered his eyes and shook his head slowly:
"Grandpa, you must not expose yourself easily. Old Chu and I, Xiao Ge, should also hide ourselves. I will take action to wipe out everything myself."

Tai Gong and Wu Hou looked at each other and nodded silently.

The former thought for a moment and asked:
"I'm afraid that the God of Heaven is not interested in a small city of salvation. If we want to go against the fortune of the human race, a city of salvation will not be of much use. Do you have any plans for the future?"

Zhou Mu nodded calmly, his eyes bright:
"The City of Rescue is just the beginning. I plan to use this city as a base to swallow up the entire Southern Dynasty and make this country look like a demon but actually human."

"How does God want to do this?"

"It's still my three - two decrees." Zhou Mu said slowly: "If my decrees are implemented throughout the Southern Dynasty."

"At that time, although the Monster City was still called the Monster City, the people who lived in the center of the city were humans, and the people who drew the life and death lot and lived in the breeding area were monsters."

"In this way, the so-called demon city is actually a human city, and the so-called demon dynasty is actually a human country."

Hearing this, Tai Gong and Wu Hou looked at each other again, and the latter frowned and said:

"With the Demon King in charge, I'm afraid."

Zhou Mu smiled and waved his hand without explaining. Wu Hou also knew what to do and changed the subject:
"If so, if we succeed, we will have to govern the entire Southern Dynasty, but I'm afraid we are not enough. Should we continue the blood sacrifice and summon the ancient sages?"

"There are still many ancient saints who have never returned, such as Ji Chang."

Zhou Mu shook his head:

"There is no need to call back the ancient saints. Blood sacrifice requires human lives. When the day comes to swallow up the Southern Dynasty, I will have my own way."

After a pause, he wanted to say something, but his brows suddenly frowned:
"Later."

Zhou Mu nodded apologetically, then closed his eyes and remained motionless under the surprised gazes of Taigong and Wuhou.

There was a great senior calling him.

Zhou Mu followed the call, and with his tightly closed eyes he looked through the fruit of all things. He saw the overlapping futures, and saw [Lingbao Daozun], who was sitting above the futures as always.

"Senior Lingbao, I don't know?" Zhou Mu asked politely. Lingbao Daozun gently stroked the [Qingping Sword] on his knees and spoke in a low voice:
"Not long ago, an unknown fish traveled back to the present. It came from a possible future that I couldn't even see clearly."

Zhou Mu was a little confused:

"Senior, what does this mean?"

Lingbao Daojun's voice remained low:

"It's hard to explain clearly. In short, it's that in an originally illusory future possibility, something reflects the present, and it turns from false to true."

After a pause, he continued:

"This is not a big deal. It happens all the time. But even though my vision is blocked and I can't see clearly what I'm looking back at, I can still infer and sense that it's closely related to you."

Zhou Mu blinked and pointed at himself:

"I??"

He became even more confused, and after thinking for a moment, he asked:
"What does Daojun mean by 'not long ago'?"

"If converted into constant time, the current time course is probably the same as half a month ago."

"Half a month ago?" Zhou Mu recalled that at that time he had not yet entered the City of Rescue and had just arrived outside the City of Rescue.

Lingbao Daojun nodded slightly:

"That future is very illusory and vague. Even if I control the future, I cannot see it clearly. This means that it involves the [Supreme] level and is closely related to you."

"Think carefully, have you experienced any unusual changes or encountered any major events half a month ago?"

Zhou Mu silently recalled, half a month ago.
At that time, they had not yet reached the City of Salvation. On the road, in the carriage, if there was anything unusual, it would probably be the Ruins of Heaven.

At that time, he happened to be immersed in the ruins of the Heavenly Palace, happened to be exploring the Heavenly Palace's treasury, happened to have stolen the Heavenly Emperor's Seal, met the unknown person in the river, and met the person who was suspected to be Xuanyuan's previous life.

Yes.

Zhou Mu's expression became solemn, and he did not hide anything. He recounted his experiences and gains in the ruins of the Heavenly Palace, and also expressed his own guesses.

"Xuanyuan's previous life?"

Lingbao Daojun was obviously a little surprised and frowned slightly:
"Fuxi is not Fuxi, Shennong is not Shennong, this is an open secret, but Xuanyuan is not Xuanyuan? Well, this is really possible."

He pondered:
"You said that the creature at the top of the Heavenly Court Treasury is definitely not the Supreme Being?"

Zhou Mu took a deep breath and answered calmly:
"It's very similar to the Supreme, but I always feel like it's a step short. Not long ago, the Emperor of Heaven summoned me and talked to me about something."

Zhou Mu recounted what he had seen and heard at the Emperor's place, focusing on the person who had stolen the [Emperor's Seal] and [Heavenly Palace Immortal Records] from the Emperor's words. Lingbao Daojun frowned, as if pondering.

for a long time.

He raised his eyelids slightly and spoke in a gentle voice:

"It's quite interesting. There aren't many guys close to the Supreme level. Who could be your predecessor? You occupied the Celestial Emperor Seal and the Celestial Palace Immortal Records, and intended to become the Celestial Emperor of the Fourth Epoch. You also transformed into Xuanyuan."

Lingbao Daojun stroked his chin:

"Could it be Brother Beidi?"

Zhou Mu's heart skipped a beat. Beidi? Ziwei Emperor?
He recalled his previous meeting with Beidi.

Lingbao Daojun said to himself:

"If there had not been the accident of the doomsday, the Northern Emperor should have been the Heavenly Emperor of the Fourth Epoch, with the greatest hope of attaining the Supreme Truth. And indeed, he could already be called half-Supreme."

"Well, but it doesn't make sense that the little guy is the Human Emperor Xuanyuan."

"Who could that be?"

Lingbao Daojun was a little puzzled, and Zhou Mu couldn't help asking:
"Senior, may I ask if there are any beings close to the level of the Supreme?"

Lingbao Daojun came back to his senses and said calmly:

“There were many before, but after Liuli Tianzhu, Randeng, and Maitreya all became supreme, only Jinmu, Beidi, Dongwanggong, and Zhenyuanzi were visible. These four are close to the level of supreme beings.”

After a pause, He added:

"But this is only on the surface. No one can tell what is going on behind the scenes. Many friends have opportunities."

"For example, the three great emperors of the east, west and south of the heaven, the five innate emperors, the later Zhenwu, or the Bodhi and Duobao Tathagata of Buddhism, and even Lu Ya, the legitimate son of Taoist Di Jun, and so on."

Zhou Mu felt a little dizzy after hearing the series of well-known names. However, when he heard Duobao Tathagata, he subconsciously looked up at this great senior.

Lingbao Daojun's expression did not seem to change. He just drooped his eyelids slightly and continued to narrate.

"Let's take the most extreme example. Kong Xuan, who was restrained by the Buddha and stopped at Daluo, or Sun Wukong, who was struck by a catastrophe. Although these two little guys are Daluo, they may be able to soar into the sky and approach the Supreme in a very short time."

Hearing this, Zhou Mu's eyes widened. Monkey Brother is a Daluo, is there a hope that he can reach the supreme level in one leap?
so smart?

He smiled bitterly:
"In this case, isn't it impossible to determine it by the process of elimination?"

"Ah."

Lingbao Daojun nodded peacefully:

"You are right. In fact, every person with great magical powers may have quietly reached the level of a near-supreme being."

Zhou Mu frowned and scratched his head:

"I wanted to reverse the cause and effect."

Lingbao Daojun frowned and thought:
"If your previous incarnation was just Xuanyuan, it would be very simple to confuse cause and effect or to sever the connection and become an independent individual. But if you were replaced by a near-supreme being, it would be a big problem."

As he spoke, the eyes of this great master were deep:
"However, now it is clear why you were able to reach the [Ruins of Heaven]. It was all arranged by your previous incarnation. He wanted to quietly become the new Lord of Heaven through your incarnation."

"But He probably never expected that you would win the favor of the three of us."

Zhou Mu listened silently, his expression somewhat gloomy, so he was just a 'reincarnation'?
This seemed to be a good thing. He could just lie back and wait for his return to his true self, and he would be nearly supreme, or even achieve supreme success.

Can.
He wants to be himself.

He wanted to be like Old Chu who turned into a tyrant.

As if seeing what Zhou Mu was thinking, Lingbao Daojun reached out and patted Zhou Mu on the shoulder, saying calmly:

"The reason why the Supreme Lord supported you in the beginning was probably for 'revenge', revenge against those fellow Taoists. I am actually the same way."

"The three of us have lost our qualifications for the Dao Contest. We don't want to see those Daoists who plotted against us win the contest."

"This is why we supported you in the beginning."

After a pause, Lingbao Daojun changed the subject:
"Well, I'll make you a promise. If you can defeat the Jade Emperor, or find the real culprit who plotted against the three of us and caused our Three Pure Ones to split up before the end of the catastrophe, I'll give you this sword."

He gently stroked the Qingping sword on his knees:

"This sword of mine is the most precious treasure. It is born with me. It is the symbol of the [end], the [end], and the [effect of all causes]. If you hold this sword, and later fail to reverse the effect, there is a certain chance that you can use this sword to sever the cause and effect and transform yourself into an independent individual."

“Although it’s not absolute, it’s at least a hope.”

Zhou Mu looked up in surprise, Qingping Sword
【Source device】.

The Supreme Ones all have only one [Source Device], which some Supreme Ones do not even possess.

"Thank you, Senior Lingbao!"

Zhou Mu bowed with great ceremony.

"No need to be polite, it's just a transaction."

Lingbao Daojun waved his hand gently, speaking in a calm voice:
"Now that you have figured out the reason for the retracing of events, you should go back first. According to my understanding, you may meet the events you are retracing in no time, even on the second day or the second hour of the [Present Time]."

Zhou Mu floated up, breaking away from the overlapping future. Lingbao Daojun's voice became ethereal and melodious:
"I see that you are cultivating my path. Under the throne in the Green Travel Palace, there is a [Jie Zi Sutra]."

"When you become a true queen, you can take it and have a look. It will be of great benefit to you."

The scene in front of me became increasingly blurry.

Zhou Mu finally saw Lingbao Daojun flick the long sword on his knee, accompanied by a crisp sword sound.

The sound of the sword set off a raging storm throughout the entire future, and it seemed as if the heavens were trembling and the worlds were startled.

A ripple arose from the sound of the sword, instantly sweeping away all future possibilities!

all.

Immediately.

Everything came to an abrupt end.

The young Taoist priest was full of vigor and vitality, with his long black hair fluttering on his shoulders and his Taoist robes fluttering in the wind that came from nowhere.
He suppressed the ripple, suppressed the sound of the Qingping sword, held it between his fingers, and flicked it lightly.

Lingbao Great Celestial Venerable, Yuchen Great Dao Lord, and Shangqing Miaoyou Great Emperor smiled and said:
"I can't give you more."

While talking.

The Qingping sword, which was pressed into a ball and solidified, floated over and fell into Zhou Mu's body.

"But once this sword rings, it will be able to cut through the future."
