The Eastern Emperor of all Heavens did not wish to become a Buddha.

Chapter 54 The Path of Time Travels Again
A mysterious light swirled around Zhong Xu, and his consciousness returned, his figure once again returning to the meditation room of Tianyin Temple.

He glanced around the meditation room, which was exactly the same as when he left, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.

It seems that the flow of time in the Journey to the West world is completely different from that in this world, or rather, different worlds.

Zhong Xu wasn't too surprised by this.

He focused his mind on his body and began to review the changes that had occurred within him after entering the Six Paths of Reincarnation space and undertaking the reincarnation mission in the Journey to the West world.

First, the Demon Buddha's profound skill was reversed, and he comprehended some of the essence of the Buddha and Demon's intentions, thereby forming two different phenomena: the Tathagata's golden body and the reversed Buddha-demon body.

Secondly, he truly unleashed the Karma Blade from "Ananda's Breaking the Precepts Blade," gaining an increasingly profound understanding of this sword technique.

These two changes seem to be a good thing for Zhong Xu at the moment, as they allow him to gain a deeper understanding of his own techniques and enhance his own strength.

Of course, he was also very clear that his cheap master probably played a part in this.

However, Zhong Xu didn't want to break ties with his cheap master, so he just kept these things to himself.

Besides, the real benefit gained from this mission was comprehending the first move of the Tathagata Palm, "I Am the Only One," and also, with the help of the Lingyun Ferry, shedding my mortal body and gaining some of the essence of the Dharma Body, greatly enhancing my own aptitude.

In addition to the green lamp before the Buddha and the relics of the Arhats he obtained, Zhong Xu's reincarnation mission was quite fruitful.

Oh, and there are also two peerless divine skills of the Other Shore level that I exchanged from the Six Paths of Reincarnation:

"Taiyi Golden Chapter" and "Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques".

Thinking of these two peerless divine skills, Zhong Xu's heart stirred, and an object resembling a small bell appeared in his hand. It was the true meaning of the three chapters of "Taiyi Golden Chapter"—Qi Accumulation, Acupoint Opening, and External Realm Inheritance.

Looking at the artifact of true meaning in his hand, Zhong Xu felt a vast, ancient, and unchanging aura emanating from it, causing ripples to spread throughout the surrounding space.

However, upon sensing this vast and ancient aura, he not only felt no discomfort, but his internal energy even became lighter.

'What a coincidence! We're destined to be together!'

With a sigh in his heart, Zhong Xu did not hesitate for long and directly focused his mind on the True Meaning Inheritance object in front of him, which resembled a small bell.

He wanted to see what secrets were hidden in the legacy of Donghuang Taiyi, one of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity.

The view before him suddenly changed, and Zhong Xu felt as if he had entered a vast and boundless galaxy.

Countless Daoist runes appeared and disappeared, like brilliant stars, forming a shimmering Milky Way.

The Milky Way is vast and boundless, with no beginning or end in sight. Sometimes it flows swiftly, and sometimes it flows slowly, creating ripples that seem to stir up the changes of time.

In a daze, Zhong Xu's consciousness seemed to be in a long river of time with no beginning and no end, where waves surged and rippled, carrying an ancient and lofty sense of vicissitude.

A grand and ethereal chanting arose, seemingly expounding the principles of Heaven and the wonders of time, profound and unfathomable, leaving Zhong Xu in a daze.

However, these scriptures and principles were too profound, and even with the enlightening wisdom of the Bodhi seed, Zhong Xu could not understand or comprehend them for a time.

Just then, mysterious Dao traces suddenly appeared in his heart, constantly changing and recombining, as if they were depicting different changes in time and space.

This is the Daoist trace about the changes in time and space that Zhong Xu imprinted in his heart with the help of the sound of the Eastern Emperor Bell during his first time traveling through time.

These were the patterns of spacetime change that he sensed in his hazy state of consciousness, and they were also his initial understanding of spacetime.

At this moment, these understandings of time and space seemed to be drawn together, all appearing in Zhong Xu's mind, colliding and merging with the true meaning of the "Taiyi Golden Chapter" that he was currently comprehending, giving him a sliver of essential understanding and comprehension of this peerless divine skill.

Within Zhong Xu's Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm, the fragments of the Eastern Emperor Bell suddenly shone brightly. The patterns and Dao marks within them seemed to come alive, constantly flowing and evolving, as if forming an ancient and vicissitudes-filled river of time.

The ancient celestial realm above the Bitter Sea grew even more vast, and the aura of the emperor at the highest level changed slightly as the ancient bronze bell in his hand slowly swayed.

A slightly ethereal bell tolled, and a hazy, ancient river vaguely appeared around the emperor's figure, flowing endlessly around him, making the emperor's aura even more lofty and sacred. Even Zhong Xu's natal object, the small bronze bell that was still in its infancy, underwent a completely new change.

One Dao pattern after another was continuously imprinted on the bronze bell, making the Dao principles and laws contained within it increasingly complex, and its aura increasingly profound.

At this moment, a series of deep and clear bell tones resounded in Zhong Xu's mind, as if depicting different changes in time, giving him a unique understanding and experience of the way of time.

'Time.Years'

Zhong Xu's aura also began to adjust and transform. A brand-new energy appeared in his body, carrying a lofty and illusory charm, like a long river of time without beginning or end, or like the unchanging laws of heaven.

With the emergence of this new energy, the Demon Buddha Mystic Art within his body also underwent changes.

The compassionate and peaceful light of Buddha and the eerie and terrifying demonic energy are constantly intertwined, both opposing each other and carrying some kind of deep connection.

The mysterious power recorded in the Taoist scriptures operates automatically, and a mysterious Yin-Yang Taiji diagram appears, encompassing Yin and Yang, life and death, and the two poles of all things, making the distinction between Buddha and demon no longer so clear.

This new energy is like the lofty Heavenly Dao, transcending the Buddhist and demonic paths, gradually merging the three intentions of Buddhism, demonism, and the Dao, and like the all-encompassing river of time, connecting Buddhism, demonism, and the Dao from another dimension.

In an instant, Zhong Xu's figure took on a hazy and weathered air, as if washed by the river of time, carrying an indescribable charm.

After an unknown amount of time, the true essence he held, which resembled a small bell, shattered into specks of spiritual light and dissipated into the world.

Slowly opening his eyes, Zhong Xu's eyes seemed to ripple with water, making the surrounding world seem to slow down.

At that moment, he felt as if everything around him had changed, as if he were observing the world around him with a completely new perspective.

As he focused his mind into his body, in addition to the Demon Buddha Mystic Art and the Dao Scripture, a new technique appeared within Zhong Xu's body. This technique was the peerless divine skill containing the Dao of Time, the Taiyi Golden Chapter.

The operating path of this technique is very peculiar. It is both within Zhong Xu's body and seems to transcend it, as if it exists in another time dimension that is completely separate from his.

As he pondered the profound mysteries of this time-related cultivation technique, Zhong Xu reached out and a simple yet mysterious bronze bell appeared in his hand—his natal object.

At this moment, the Dao patterns on this small bronze bell became increasingly intricate, and also carried a hint of vicissitude.

"Time."

As the whispers began, Zhong Xu slowly circulated the "Taiyi Golden Chapter" technique, and a hazy, ancient aura rose from within his body.

Boom!
The small bronze bell in his hand was gently shaken, and ripples spread out like water, making everything in the entire meditation room seem to stand still.

Well

But the next moment, Zhong Xu let out a muffled groan, and everything around him instantly returned to normal.

After a long while, he finally caught his breath and muttered to himself, "Is this the power of time? It's truly terrifying!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Xu stroked the small bronze bell in his hand, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Unexpectedly, the Dao traces imprinted in my heart when I traveled through time could help me to initially comprehend this peerless divine skill that brings together the Dao of Time, thereby gaining a glimpse into the mysteries of time.

Although Zhong Xu's current cultivation level and realm are not yet sufficient to perfectly utilize the power of time.

But once you master it, as your cultivation level increases, there will eventually be a day when you can truly use it.

The Heavenly Emperor treads upon time, dominating this era!
As the one who wields the Great Dao of Time, it seems he is destined for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor!
With thoughts racing through his mind, Zhong Xu focused his attention on the operation of the "Taiyi Golden Chapter" technique within his body, concentrating on comprehending the mysteries of this peerless divine skill that contained the Dao of Time.

As he comprehended this divine skill, the Way of Time flowed through his heart, as if drawing something from within. Suddenly, a deep and clear bell rang from the depths of his spiritual world, like the sound of the Great Dao.

In an instant, Zhong Xu's consciousness went into a daze, and he seemed to vaguely sense something.

The next moment, ripples spread like water, and Zhong Xu's figure vanished from the spot.
