Who is spreading rumors that my filial piety towards them has changed?

"There is an unseen person who hugs me and my sisters..."

Even the baby has testified to this, so others have even less to say; they have no choice but to accept it.

However, the girls who had spent a lot of time with Chu Mingkong could sense something was off.

In his early years, his frequent references to things like "Xiling Treasury, old man by the river, teahouse" were highly suspicious, and the snacks and treasures he would occasionally pull out were even more difficult to explain.

Now that things have settled, we can simply attribute our doubts to the explanation of "Goddess".

Tuberose arrived late, and seeing that the atmosphere was just right and she didn't want to disturb them, she seized the opportunity to speak and immediately said:

"Yao Ji has sent word that there is movement in the Buddhist Pure Land in the region, which may indicate that the true Buddha is about to awaken."

Chu Mingkong felt disappointed, as they were having a pleasant conversation. However, his resentment was naturally not directed at the tuberose.

But it's also good, it gave him a chance to change the subject, so that if he talked about his mother for too long, he might accidentally reveal the truth, which would be very awkward.

“Alright, I was originally planning to go back to the underworld to deal with Him, but since He has woken up, I’d better finish this quickly to avoid any unforeseen complications.”

"When should we go? Now? We're not prepared at all. Should we go back to Kunlun Dao Sect first and see what's going on?" Zuo Donglu asked.

Chu Mingkong's expression first turned solemn and thoughtful for a moment, but this was feigned, and he quickly returned to a smile:

"Well, you've all been with me all this way, so I can't let you worry and do more work in the end, can I? Just rest for now and wait for my news."

"As for you, do you want to stay in Moonlight Arakawa, or go back with us?"

Zuo Qiuchi took the baby off her head, lifted it up and stretched, showing off her curvaceous figure. The baby also stretched and raised its little arms and legs.

She said, "Let's go back together. Anyway, there's a teleportation array, so it'll only take a short while to travel. I'm so bored in this Moonlight Wasteland. It's dark and gloomy all day long, and I often forget to wake up when I sleep."

You never seem to wake up at the exact same time during the day...

Chu Mingkong sighed inwardly.

No one had any objection to the decision to return to the region. The true Buddha was about to awaken, and this was no longer a time to consider personal preferences.

He immediately arranged for the women to prepare for their return journey, as it would be more comfortable than the long journey from the Abyss if the gates at Jianmu were open.

"Bai Niang, you should travel with the babies. I see that the cats are very attached to you. I'll go to Jiba Mountain first, and then I'll catch up with you."

Bai Niang would have preferred to travel with Chu Mingkong, but seeing that the two little ones were clinging to her, she didn't say anything more.

......

Moonlight shines over the desolate river.

After the Heavenly Demon Emperor was defeated here, this place has always been a place of great interest, but also a place that no one dares to approach.

The Heavenly Demon Clan, reduced to refugees, harbored a deep hatred for Chu Mingkong.

Although they had no presence under the rule of the Heavenly Demon Emperor, they were still their own people.

With their clan leader killed and the Heavenly Demon Clan removed from the Heavenly Domain Holy Land's forces, it's impossible for them not to have any objections.

There are quite a few demons lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to teach Chu Mingkong a lesson, and wanting to severely damage his family.

But when they discovered that Chu Mingkong had actually reached that level, those scheming refugee demons collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

"This is impossible... Why is this happening!"

But more than anything, they were curious about Chu Mingkong's movements. They watched the group of people walking out of the Moonlit Wild River from afar, not daring to approach for fear of offending them.

"The regional sword emperor who once wreaked havoc on Sword Tyrant Mountain is among them, as is that mysterious white snake. Add Chu Mingkong to the mix, and their overall strength surpasses even that of the Holy Land!"

"Where is this regional demon headed? It seems to be heading towards Jianmu. Is it leaving the Heavenly Domain?"

"It couldn't possibly be a simple departure; they must have gone to settle scores with the Ancient Ancestor Buddha. The Ancient Ancestor Buddha may have hidden himself in the underworld!"

The cultivators from the Heavenly Domain followed from a distance, and were puzzled when they saw Chu Mingkong and the girls split into two groups.

But not long after, they saw Chu Mingkong returning from the direction of Jiba Mountain, carrying a huge object behind him.

"That's the remains of the Heavenly Sword God. Are they going to use the remains of the Heavenly Sword God as a weapon?"

"Look, he's really heading towards Jianmu. He's definitely going back to deal with the Ancient Buddha. It's a pity we can't enter Jianmu..."

"How about... we try to sneak across? As long as we don't use our cultivation level in the area, everything will be fine!"

Chapter 286 The Witnesses to the Derailment

Chu Mingkong, carrying the remains of the Heavenly Sword God, arrived at Jianmu. The women had already arrived and were waiting for him.

"Mingkong, what are you doing bringing the body of the Heavenly Sword God here?" Zuo Qiuchi asked. She thought Chu Mingkong had gone to do something important, but it turned out he had just brought someone else's corpse...

Bai Niang was equally surprised, and she considered things even more deeply, hesitating to speak to Ming Kong.

Having witnessed this guy's actions in the Goddess's Tomb, it's hard not to suspect that he might now have developed a strange interest in corpses.

Chu Mingkong quickly explained:

"It's nothing, just consider it a handy weapon and make the most of it."

His motive was actually to get rid of the Heavenly Sword God's body. As long as His corpse remained at Mount Jiba, that blessed land full of spiritual energy would never be able to recover.

Moreover, the thought that Mother Goddess could possess the bodies of the Queen Mother of the West in previous generations made Chu Mingkong worry that the remains of the Heavenly Sword God would be "occupied" in the future.

There's no need to leave hidden problems if they can be solved in one go.

Yao Ji raised her eyes and looked at the remains of that supreme being, her tranquil heart stirred with waves.

This was the first time she had ever seen a supreme being in person, which made her even more horrified that Chu Mingkong was able to eliminate such a being.

Yao Ji had no doubt that if the Heavenly Gate Barrier had not been continuously reinforced by successive Queen Mothers of the West, Kunlun Dao Sect, a sacred place without an absolute powerhouse guarding it, might have been easily destroyed.

"Aside from the time when Pavilion Master Shen's true form crossed the boundary to unleash his power, this is the first time Yao Ji has seen a fallen supreme being, and also the first time she has seen a living supreme being!"

"The ethereal fairy maiden, veiled in veil, sighed."

Chu Mingkong was a little embarrassed by what she said, but he didn't change the subject and confirmed the movements of the true Buddha.

"What's the situation like in the Pure Land of Buddhism?"

"There hasn't been much movement yet, but in terms of the situation, some hot-tempered tribesmen in the Crescent Kingdom, unaware of the situation at Buddhism, went to attack due to some friction. Some sect disciples went to stop them, and we don't know the current situation yet."

The area around the Buddhist Pure Land is now extremely dangerous. Judging from the fact that monks have disappeared, they may have all been devoured by the true Buddha to replenish their spiritual cultivation.

Yao Ji also tried to get the elders to explain as much as possible that there might be a supreme being in the Buddhist Pure Land, but what exactly is a supreme being to the people of the region?

They really don't understand!

"Then I'll see if I can help them out while I'm at it. Can the remains of the Heavenly Sword God pass through the Heavenly Gate?" Chu Mingkong asked.

Yao Ji shook her head: "The size of the Heavenly Gate is too large to contain such a behemoth."

Despite being called a sword, this sword is actually as large as a mountain peak; how could it possibly fit into the Heavenly Gate?

Chu Mingkong didn't press the matter, and turned his gaze back to the women:

“Alright, then you all go back to the Kunlun Dao Sect with Yao Ji to rest first. I’ll take a detour back and go straight to the Buddhist Pure Land in a bit. After I’ve finished dealing with things, I’ll meet with you all again.”

Gu Jungui hurriedly stepped forward. The mature, voluptuous woman grasped Chu Mingkong's hand and said nervously:

"Mingkong, let Bai Niang and the others come with you later. I heard Qiuchi talk about these things. He said that at your current level, it's either you die or I live. There's no room for maneuver. If you make a mistake, there will be no chance to regret it. Don't be careless. The babies are waiting for you!"

Xiao Zhi and the others also came up and agreed with Gu Jungui's statement.

Chu Mingkong felt a warmth in his heart and said happily, "I will be careful. Who can be as steady as me? You all wait for me to go back for dinner."

......

After bidding farewell for the time being, Chu Mingkong continued his journey, dragging the remains of the Heavenly Sword God, and changed course to the boundary breach beside the Moonlight Wild River.

The route he took carved out a long valley stretching for tens of thousands of miles, causing the river to change course and extend all the way.

Before entering the Abyss, Chu Mingkong also took out the body of the Heavenly Sword God and hung it on the broken sword as decoration.

After his figure completely disappeared into the abyss, cultivators began to appear one after another.

They were all speechless when they saw Chu Mingkong's absurd and arrogant behavior.

"This is treating the corpse of a supreme being as a trophy! The achievements of all the famous figures and sages of the past millions of years are not worth mentioning!"

"After today, this demon's spoils may have one more to go. Is he going to sweep away all the supreme beings?"

"This great upheaval, I thought the fall of the Heavenly Sword God was already a major turning point, but I never expected it to develop to this extent."

"No, it's already hopeless to live a life of mediocrity. At least I should witness the fate of the ancient Buddha!"

Some people were hesitant at first, but after seeing Chu Mingkong cross the Abyss, they were afraid they would miss the boat.

A group of cultivators from the Heavenly Realm worked together to sneak across the Heavenly Gate Barrier surrounding the breach in the Abyss.

Among them was even the figure of a Xuechuan cultivator.

After the Heavenly Gate barrier was reinforced, it was already very difficult for ordinary cultivators to sneak across. However, the gap that Bai Niang made was a relatively loose part of the barrier.

Soon, countless spatial ripples appeared out of thin air in the sky around Xiling, from which many powerful cultivators flew out, like locusts passing by.

The common people were shocked, and the sect cultivators guarding the vicinity were also horrified.

They initially thought it was a surprise attack, but they soon discovered that these mysterious cultivators who suddenly appeared were not coming for them, but were heading straight for the Buddhist Pure Land.

"The Buddhist sect has actually cultivated such a powerful lineage in the lower realms. This aura is definitely that of an ancient Buddha; it can be sensed even from this distance!"

"You still dare to call this place the lower realm? Be careful that the demon hears you and kills you without hesitation. Don't let me get dragged into it!"

"This is my first time smuggling between the two realms. I thought I was going to rush straight into the Abyss. I was terrified!"

This procession passed through the area in a grand and imposing manner, their very bodies blotting out the sky.

As they passed through the Crescent Moon Kingdom, it was like a dark cloud passing by, darkening the land and frightening many of the tribespeople.

Upon approaching the Pure Land of Buddhism, they were all instantly stunned...

Why isn't Chu Mingkong here?

Could it be that we've come to the wrong place?

"Has anyone been to this region? How many lineages does Buddhism have? Why aren't those demons here?"

This is a common question in the minds of many people.

Suddenly, someone said, "There's a group of tribesmen down there, arguing about something. Let's go ask them."
