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

Chapter 94 Gu Xiaosang's True Imperial Seal

White lotus blossoms drifted down from the sky, and the faint sound of prayer could be heard.

Gu Xiaosang stepped on a white lotus, ethereal and holy, even carrying a sense of solemnity, like a god or Buddha.

She did not interfere in the battle between the two in front of her, nor did she take the opportunity to grab Sikong Tu. She simply stood calmly in the void, looking at the white-robed monk with deep eyes, as if confirming something.

Seeing the white-robed monk kill the 'Mountain God' of the Mythical Organization in an almost overwhelming manner, especially the time-based technique he displayed at the end, her pupils contracted slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

"Amitabha!"

At this moment, Zhong Xu put away the items on the Mountain God, looked at the girl in the white dress in the air, and said with a smile, "Benefactor Gu, it seems that you have chosen to give up what Benefactor Sikong has in his hands."

"The Zen master actually recognizes me?"

Gu Xiaosang's dress fluttered, making her appear like a goddess descending to earth. A strange look appeared on her face. Then she smiled and said, "Even a senior Outer Realm expert like the 'Mountain God' from mythology was easily killed by you, Zen Master. I am just a beginner in the Outer Realm, so naturally I am no match for you, Zen Master. To avoid you cruelly destroying me, I have no choice but to give up."

As she said she was giving up, there was no disappointment on her face. Instead, her eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled, "I just didn't expect that Zen Master Fahai's strength was even more terrifying than the rumors suggested. He was able to kill an Outer Realm expert with only an Enlightened Body. It seems that it won't be long before He Jiu's position as the number one on the Human Ranking will change hands."

"Number one on the list, haha."

Hearing Gu Xiaosang's words, Zhong Xu chuckled and said, "Although I do not travel the martial world, I have heard of the name of the Holy Maiden of the Luo Sect. Moreover, you, Benefactor Gu, are the reincarnation of the legendary Eternal Mother, a name that is well-known to me. If you, Benefactor Gu, wanted to become the number one on the Human Ranking, I'm afraid Benefactor He would have already given up his position."

When Zhong Xu spoke of the words "the reincarnation of the Eternal Mother," there was a hint of something inexplicable in his tone.

This is also how the world sees Gu Xiaosang's situation: like Meng Qi to the Demon Buddha, she is the Golden Emperor's 'fish,' and even she herself thinks so.

However, no one knew that the Golden Emperor had already achieved the rudimentary form of the Dao Fruit. Gu Xiaosang was not His 'fish,' but rather His choice to reduce and seek emptiness.

Upon hearing the words "Eternal Mother," Gu Xiaosang's expression changed slightly, and a rare hint of fear appeared in her eyes.

However, the next moment, her expression returned to normal. She looked deeply at the white-robed monk in front of her and said with a smile, "Master Fahai seems to know quite a lot. May I ask which Buddhist temple you come from and what your Dharma name is?"

"It's a small temple and Buddha statue; even if I told you, Benefactor Gu wouldn't know."

At this point, Zhong Xu's lips curled up slightly: "As for my master, he has long since returned to the Pure Land of Vulture Peak and has been able to see the Tathagata."

'Spiritual Mountain Pure Land'

Muttering these four words to herself, and looking at the unfathomable white-robed monk in front of her, Gu Xiaosang seemed to confirm a certain idea in her heart, and her eyes became a little deeper.

Sensing the change in Gu Xiaosang's expression, Zhong Xu smiled and suddenly changed the subject: "Benefactor Gu, I've heard that you have clues about the Nine Heavens. This humble monk is also very interested in the legendary Nine Heavens. Perhaps we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

If Zhong Xu remembers correctly, part of Donghuang Taiyi's Dao Fruit exists in the Peach Garden of the Nine Heavens, and he will definitely visit the Nine Heavens in the future.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaosang's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a smile, "It would be my honor to cooperate with Zen Master Fahai."

At this point, she glanced at Yingcheng in the distance, sensing the auras heading towards her. She then gave the white-robed monk in front of her a deep look, and without even saying hello, she directly merged into the void, as if entering a phantom kingdom and disappearing.

Seeing Gu Xiaosang disappear, Zhong Xu's expression didn't change much; after all, he couldn't possibly keep her here anyway.

After glancing in the direction of Yingcheng, Zhong Xu moved swiftly and arrived beside Sikong Tu. He grabbed him and vanished into the night with a few quick movements.

Not long after Zhong Xu's figure disappeared, streaks of light descended from the sky, transforming into figures exuding an aura of the Outer Realm, and landed in this chaotic graveyard valley.

Looking at the valley that had become ruins, the group couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances.

While many in Yingcheng were still marveling at the battle scenes left behind at Panlong Mountain, Zhong Xu had already returned to the city with Sikong Tu.

In a small courtyard in Yingcheng, Zhong Xu looked at Sikong Tu in front of him and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Benefactor Sikong, the True Imperial Seal is not something you can possess. If it weren't for my intervention, you would probably have met with misfortune. You should hand it over to me."

Sikong Tu gave a wry smile and sighed, "It was indeed my greed that got the better of me. I originally intended to finish this job and then retire to the woods with my wife and children. I wanted to make a fortune from this, but I never expected to attract so many powerful experts from the outer realms."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xu couldn't help but feel speechless.

That's a dangerous idea!

What's the difference between this and going home to get married after the war?
If you don't die, you'll be letting down the fiag you set for yourself.

However, Zhong Xu did not say anything more, but continued to look at Sikong Tu.

"Hey!"

Sikong Tu sighed. Facing the white-robed monk who could easily kill an Outer Realm expert, he dared not say anything. With a wave of his hand, a small seal made of gold appeared in his palm.

The small seal was engraved with scenes of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, agriculture, forestry, fishing, animal husbandry, and the myriad aspects of human life on its four sides. Although small, it carried a sense of weight and majesty, and was the True Emperor Seal forged in imitation of the Human Emperor's Sword. Zhong Xu reached out and beckoned, and the True Emperor Seal flew from Sikong Tu's hand and landed in his palm.

Looking at the small seal in his hand, Zhong Xu activated his Heavenly Eye, and countless black and white star lines flowed in his eyes as he immersed his mind in them.

In an instant, a ray of humanistic light shone forth, his vision changed, and a new world seemed to appear before him.

He saw the scenery of heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, many human cities, scholars studying hard, farmers working diligently, fishermen casting nets, woodcutters chopping wood, wisps of smoke rising from chimneys, and all walks of life in the mortal world.

His mind seemed to be immersed in a world of humanity, and he sensed a trace of the power of humanity.

Buzz

Drawn by these images, the Taiyi Golden Chapter and the Void Scripture began to operate automatically. Zhong Xu's aura became more ethereal and illusory, vaguely carrying a hint of imperial majesty, as if he stood in another dimension.

In a daze, his vision seemed to be constantly expanding, and the causal star lines in his eyes kept changing, connecting with a certain supreme spirituality through this human landscape.

Zheng!
A sword cry that shook the heavens and the earth resounded, and a golden longsword was reflected in Zhong Xu's eyes, exuding a majestic and righteous aura of kingship.

'The Emperor's Sword!'

As this thought crossed his mind, Zhong Xu's heart trembled, all the images vanished, and his consciousness returned. In his hand was still the small seal that looked like it was cast in gold.

'The True Emperor's Seal is indeed related to the Human Emperor's Sword!'

As this thought crossed his mind, Zhong Xu realized that the True Emperor's Seal was no ordinary treasure of humanity; it truly contained the aura of the Human Emperor's Sword.

The previous emperor, Ai, may have indeed found clues to the Human Emperor's Sword, but he failed to gain the approval of this peerless sword from the other side and returned empty-handed. That's why he made a replica of the True Imperial Seal, which contains the aura of the Human Emperor's Sword.

Thinking of this, Zhong Xu turned his gaze to the distance, as if he saw a magnificent and imposing golden longsword.

With the True Emperor Seal, a treasure of humanity imbued with the aura of the Human Emperor Sword, he might also have the opportunity to witness the true form of the Human Emperor Sword, a peerless treasure representing the destiny of humanity.

As for whether he can gain the approval of the Human Emperor Sword, Zhong Xu can only gamble on his luck.

Anyway, he will definitely be able to complete his main quest.

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Zhong Xu turned his gaze to Sikong Tu in front of him. After a moment's thought, he waved his hand, and a divine light descended upon him.

This was one of the spoils he had just obtained from the mythical 'Mountain God'—a precious weapon that was of little use to him but could be used to exchange for the True Emperor's Seal.

"A precious weapon!"

Looking at the long sword floating in the divine light and sensing the powerful aura contained within it, Sikong Tu's eyes lit up.

At this moment, Zhong Xu spoke up: "I received the True Emperor's Seal from you, so consider this weapon as my reward. The True Emperor's Seal is only useful to specific people, and its actual value to you is not as great as this weapon."

"Thank you, Master!"

A hint of surprise appeared in Sikong Tu's eyes. He thought he would be lucky to save his life, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.

This precious weapon looks incredibly valuable; if it were to be exchanged, it could generate a substantial profit.

You should know that this is a genuine treasure, enough to serve as the prized possession of some small sects.

With these resources, he could guide his son onto the right path, into a major sect, and eventually become a true master, so he wouldn't have to live in constant fear like he did.

Thinking of this, Sikong Tu couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards the white-robed monk in front of him.

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

After speaking, Zhong Xu stopped talking and instead focused his attention on the small seal in his hand, studying the true meaning contained within it.

Seeing this, Sikong Tu put away his weapon, bowed, and tactfully took his leave.

Standing outside the courtyard, Sikong Tu still felt a sense of disorientation, as if he had survived a calamity.

After a long while, he bowed to the courtyard again, disappeared into the night, and headed into the distance.

Having survived a brush with death, he missed his wife and children even more.

After Sikong Tu's figure left the courtyard, the surrounding void became hazy, and Zhong Xu's figure also stepped into the void and disappeared.
