Five hundred years of stacked Q, this one Q, unique and unparalleled throughout eternity!

The stone lion breathed a sigh of relief and continued to carefully ride the auspicious clouds.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the direction the stone lion was riding on the auspicious clouds was not the direction the original body had fled in, as Luo Tian had previously seen it, but rather inside the Jade Emperor Pavilion.

Along the way, Luo Tian encountered more and more immortals, and even saw a few scattered earth immortals.

With a slight frown, Luo Tian spoke:

"I saw your true form leave the Jade Emperor Mountain Grotto-Heaven before. Where are you trying to take me?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Changsheng grinned and said:

"Your Excellency Luo Tian should know that sometimes what you see may not be the truth."

"Did you see a dim beam of light rise into the sky, escaping from the Jade Emperor Mountain Grotto Heaven, enveloped in talismans?"

Luo Tian was taken aback by Yin Changsheng's tone and couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"fake?"

"Of course it's fake! If you're going to run away, why use such an obvious escape light to ascend into the sky, and then hide your figure under other people's noses with some so-called invisibility talisman? Do you think you can be safe?"

"If someone possesses the ability to see with divine eyes, they could see through your concealment talisman with a single glance, rendering its meager concealment effect completely useless. The risk is far too great; only a fool would make such a blatant attempt to escape."

Yin Changsheng fully demonstrated the breadth of knowledge of the Old Ancestor Gou Dao, and said disdainfully:

"That's just a flesh and blood puppet at the Celestial Immortal level, used for fishing. If anyone actually follows the escape light, they will only be led into a deadly place."

If the Jedi cannot contain the pursuers, the flesh golem will feign accidentally triggering the Jedi's killing intent and perish, while the original body simply changes its appearance and remains safe and sound.

Luo Tian was shocked once again.

He thought he had seen through the ethereal, otherworldly avatar, but little did he know that the fleeting glimpse of light was also a trap set by Yin Changsheng.

One thing leads to another, and it's all a disguise by Yin Changsheng.

"As expected of the Old Ancestor of the Path of Deception, whose power is comparable to that of a great god, he can escape from the face of a Golden Immortal without any problem!"

If I hadn't used a wide-area Soul Drain Strike for an AoE attack, I probably would have been fooled by this guy too.

With another sigh, Luo Tian looked at the mountain peak that was getting closer and closer ahead of Xiangyun, and wondered:

"Your true form is hidden right here?"

Looking around, it was clear that this place was located in the heart of the Jade Emperor Pavilion. The huge mountain peak that was visible to the naked eye not far away was the core of the entire Jade Emperor Cave Heaven and the main peak of Jade Emperor Mountain.

In contrast, this place was much quieter, but the security was still very tight. If it weren't for the auspicious cloud that Yin Changsheng was riding, which seemed to symbolize some kind of identity, Luo Tian would probably have been detained and questioned long ago.

"I'm not sure either!" Yin Changsheng replied with a hint of frustration, spreading his hands.

"You know her personality perfectly well. She's so cowardly, afraid of leaving any openings for you to catch up with. How could she possibly tell me where she is?"

Luo Tian's lips twitched upon hearing this, and he said somewhat irritably:

"Then why did you bring me here?"

The stone lion blinked and said, "Although the true form didn't tell me, I can guess!"

“I am one with her, and in the same situation, I can roughly guess what she is thinking. Coming here is just a matter of trying my luck.”

After speaking, the auspicious cloud slowly landed on the platform of the mountain peak.

Although this somewhat deserted mountain is located in the heart of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, it is not very populated, and there is only a magnificent hall at the top of the mountain.

Holding his head, the stone lion led Luo Tian into the main hall, explaining to him as they went:

"This is the Hall of Fate, and also the place where all the inner disciples of the Jade Emperor Pavilion light their soul lamps."

If the soul lamp goes out, the disciple stationed at the Life Hall will report it to the sect immediately. Although it sounds impressive, it's not exactly a sect-critical location.

After speaking, the stone lion stepped through the gate of the Hall of Fate.

The next moment, what came into Luo Tian's view was a brightly lit hall, with soul lamps neatly arranged around the main hall, their flickering flames carrying an indescribable sense of majesty.

In the center of the main hall, an old man with white hair and beard was looking at an ancient book.

Upon seeing the stone lion and Luo Tian enter through the gate, a hint of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes. He put down the book in his hand and asked:

"This is the Hall of Fate. May I ask what brings you two here?"

Luo Tian looked at the old man in front of him. The old man, who was at the Earth Immortal realm, was filled with a sense of impending death. This was a sign that his foundation had been damaged during the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.

Earthly Immortals have no lifespan limit, but if they cannot perfectly overcome a calamity, their original foundation will be damaged, and they will definitely not be able to overcome the next tribulation.

After looking him up and down, no matter how Luo Tian looked at him, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the old man in front of him. However, as time went on, the old man began to become wary, as if he began to doubt the identities of Luo Tian and the stone lion.

"Did we get the wrong number?"

The stone lion spoke as soon as the thought crossed its mind:

"Stop pretending to be the real person!"

I knew long ago that after you replaced that little guy from the Enforcement Hall by turning beans into soldiers, you would definitely come to the Life Hall to replace the Soul Lamp, so that no one would discover that the little guy from the Enforcement Hall's Soul Lamp had gone out and revealed a flaw.

The next step should be to find a way to make the bean-slaying soldiers pretend to accept a mission, and then die at the hands of a monster they don't like, so as to provoke a conflict between the little guy's family and the monster, causing the two sides to fight each other.

"We've been using this same old trick for tens of thousands of years; it's time to come up with something new."

Luo Tian was taken aback and looked at the old man guarding the Hall of Fate again.

However, the old man also frowned and asked the stone lion:

"Who are you? Why are you spouting such arrogant words in this hall of fate?"

The stone lion rolled its eyes in annoyance and said:

"Are you still pretending? This guy has turned our whole hometown upside down."

I thought the head I sent you was compensation from Luo Tian, ​​but it turns out he had no good intentions at all. The head still carries a huge karmic burden that neither of us can bear.

The only option now is to listen to him and see if there's any chance of a turnaround.

Upon hearing this, the old man's expression changed drastically.

"What did you say?" A light, melodious female voice came from that completely incongruous, withered body.

The stone lion lowered its head, adopting a defiant, "what's the use of this?" attitude, and said:

"If you don't believe me, you can use the Great Evolution Divine Calculation to see for yourself."

The old man stretched out his palm, and as his five fingers moved, Luo Tian vaguely felt as if a causal thread was being touched by it.

Then, as if confirming something, the old man's face turned pale, and he finally slumped down.

"He who hunts geese all day long will eventually be pecked by them."

A hand reached out and covered the face, and a mask engraved with mysterious patterns was gently removed, revealing a delicate face that bore a striking resemblance to the avatar beneath.

"Tell me! What do you want?"

Chapter 285 I Saw Ksitigarbha! (Two-in-One)

This was the first time Luo Tian had truly seen Yin Changsheng's true form.

Judging from her appearance, Yin Changsheng was actually very beautiful, almost identical to the avatar that looked like a fairy descending to earth.

However, compared to the external avatar that aroused desire at first glance, Yin Changsheng's true form was not as attractive.

The loose white robe concealed her figure, her black hair was casually draped behind her, and her pretty face looked utterly dejected.

They have the same face, but their overall demeanor is completely different.

One was ethereal and otherworldly, captivating with every move; the other was lazy and listless, with shifty eyes that seemed ready to burst forth at any moment.

Such a huge difference would make it impossible for anyone to believe that the two people were the same person unless Luo Tian knew the inside story.

Luo Tian didn't speak, but instead looked at Yin Changsheng in front of him with great interest.

As it turns out, digging a hole and burying someone really feels great, much more satisfying than just throwing punches and violently fighting.

Especially when facing this cunning old ancestor of the Gou Dao, who was like a nested doll, he successfully tricked her into revealing her true form, causing Luo Tian's lips to involuntarily curl into a smile.

Luo Tian's smug expression naturally caught Yin Changsheng's eye.

Yin Changsheng glared at Luo Tian indignantly, his eyes filled with anger, and he seemed about to speak.

But he still had some reservations, so he could only pick up the headless stone lion from the ground and stab its head repeatedly, saying:

"You believe everything people say? How come you haven't grown at all after all these years?"

"Indeed, I shouldn't have kept you alive when I separated that wisp of your greed!"

Although the stone lion had no flesh and blood, Yin Changsheng had his own way of dealing with it, and it was poked by Yin Changsheng's finger and cried out loudly.

"Stop! I'm trying to help you!"

"Since we're already entangled in karma, what's the point of hiding like a coward? We might as well take a gamble!"

"If I could really advance to the Golden Immortal realm, I could at least gain another 36,000 years of lifespan. Wouldn't it be great to live tens of thousands of years longer?"

Yin Changsheng didn't answer, but just poked the stone lion's head to vent his frustration.

Luo Tian has painstakingly set up numerous traps, and if he is not careful, he may fall into one.

Even if they weren't deceived by the avatars and celestial puppets, they might not have imagined that their true self would be in the Hall of Fate.

Her seemingly foolproof plan had overlooked Yin Changsheng herself.

A strong will to survive caused Yin Changsheng's wisp of soul to reveal the location of his true body, which made Yin Changsheng extremely frustrated.

Fortunately, Yin Changsheng didn't dwell on it too much. After forcibly poking twelve scars into the stone lion's head, Yin Changsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking up at Luo Tian again, Yin Changsheng was exasperated that Luo Tian was so calm and collected.

If Luo Tian had spoken first, she might have gained a slight advantage in the subsequent transaction. However, since Luo Tian remained silent, she had no choice but to ask him:

"Tell me your purpose?"

Luo Tian stretched out his right hand, and the copy of the "Ksitigarbha Sutra of Salvation" from his spatial ring appeared in his hand.

Luo Tian handed the Buddhist scriptures to Yin Changsheng and said:

"I want to know all the information about this Buddhist scripture."

"All of them?" Yin Changsheng took the Buddhist scripture, feeling the lost spiritual essence within it, a playful smile appearing on his lips.

"I think it would be better for Lord Luo Tian to change the subject. I believe I have a certain understanding of the Xuanhuang Great World. If Lord Luo Tian is willing, I can even tell you about a few undiscovered Golden Immortal Secret Realms."

Even the Jade Emperor Pavilion would be incredibly envious of the many treasures contained there.
