C655 Three Questions
Meng Xuan naturally heard the sound of the wind. With the World Tree and Spirit Breaking Whip in his hands, he surveyed his surroundings, continuously moving downwards. The Empyrean Gods around him were extremely careful as well. Afraid of a sudden resurgence of the rumored doom.
There was no concept of time here, so no one knew how long they had been walking for or how deep they had dived. In the end, the fog gradually dissipated. Everyone only felt their feet solidify as they stepped on the ground.
The scene that appeared in front of them shocked everyone.
It was a huge divine mine, and there were huge silver-white boulders everywhere. The essence energy was extremely dense. Each boulder was transparent, and upon closer inspection, one could see that the bones were sealed within. These bones had already been metallized, and each piece was incomparably huge. A vast divine force rippled outwards. He couldn't see the end of it. At the end of the world, an enormous crimson ancient tree stood there.
It was extremely ancient, and its trunk was covered in dense and mysterious engravings of the Sanskrit language.
"Bodhi tree …" Meng Xuan was stunned. This was an ancient tree from the ancient mythological era. It was a type of ancient tree that was closest to the great Dao. All plant life forms respected the World Tree. It was as if the dragon was the leader of all the scaled creatures.
But the Bodhi tree was the closest to the Great Dao.
Its body contained tens of thousands of great Daos. Many ancient characters were comprehending the Dao under the Bodhi tree. For example, the Primordial Son of Zhenyuan from the Myth Age, the Grandmaster of Damocles, Sakyamuni Buddha.
"Crossbow …" Summer, upon seeing the Bodhi tree, was instantly filled with terror.
This was an existence that not even an immortal king was willing to provoke! Now that he had witnessed it with his own eyes, how could he not be shocked?
The Bodhi tree was too big, occupying an entire piece of the universe. Moreover, it had already reached the point of metamorphosis. At the top of each branch hung fist-sized Bodhi Fruits, appearing extremely mystical.
The symbols on its body were very dense and filled with an ancient aura. Surrounding it were large pieces of ore. The huge rhizome of the Bodhi tree was rooted in the ground, greedily absorbing the Gengjin Qi from the ore.
Meng Xuan looked at it for a long time before sighing.
He could tell that this place was not some divine mine from before. Instead, it was an ancient battlefield. Too many extraordinary creatures had fallen during this great battle. Corpses were strewn across this place, and after tens of millions of years of evolution, they had turned into ore. These creatures were too powerful. Even after falling for such a long time, the essence energy within their bones still remained, and was still completely preserved.
Just what had happened that year? This was completely an unparalleled battle!
He slowly walked towards Cross. Because he had the World Tree and the Soul Breaking Whip in his hands, Cross clearly felt a sense of danger. Compulsory recovery. Following his revival, the entire abyss trembled crazily.
And then, a scene that terrified everyone appeared.
The Bodhi tree had gone crazy. Half of its body was completely red, while the other half had turned pitch black. Demonic energy and blood energy were surging out from the roots, which were like dragons sticking out from the ground.
"Scram!" A pair of cold and indifferent eyes appeared on the body of Crossing Disaster as he coldly stared at Meng Xuan.
He wasn't afraid of Meng Xuan, nor the Immortal King. However, he was afraid of the World Tree in Meng Xuan's hands. It was class oppression, making him uneasy.
"I have no ill intentions. I want to comprehend the dao beneath you." Meng Xuan said calmly.
Everyone thought that Meng Xuan had gone mad. This was crossing hell!
If you were to comprehend the dao beneath him, aren't you afraid that he would suddenly kill you?
The Empyrean Gods began to prepare to retreat. Once Crosscut went berserk, these Empyrean Gods would be no match for him. Everyone could already feel that Crossing Waves was slowly going crazy, and a terrifying aura appeared in the abyss.
On top of the dome, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Large cracks spread throughout the void, and the scene was extremely terrifying.
However, Meng Xuan was not afraid in the slightest. He stood under the half-black and half-red Bodhi tree and raised his head to look at the divine tree. Even though the lightning was crisscrossing above his head, he was not afraid at all, only watching.
"The Non-Phase Body has never been easy. I can understand your anger and fear." Meng Xuan said as he put away the World Tree and Soul Breaking Whip.
He looked at Meng Xuan. To be able to understand the Non-Phase Body, he was definitely not some ordinary mortal.
"You have to answer three questions for me. If you answer the right one, I'll let you comprehend the dao beneath me." The Bodhi tree said.
Meng Xuan smiled. "Alright."
The Bodhi tree paused for a moment, then said, "What is the nature of the Buddha of Shakyamuni?"1
"The composite of light and matter is also an amorphous body. Or rather, no one knows where his actual body is. However, he can gather many rays of light and project them onto various planes in a shapeless manner. " Meng Xuan said.
The Bodhi tree was stunned for a moment, and its eyes widened abruptly. It was the first time he had heard this saying that all the difficult problems in the past had been easily solved.
As for the other Empyrean Gods, they didn't understand what Meng Xuan meant at all.
The ones whose faces had changed greatly were Nalan Jie, Old Man Hoover, and the other two.
This was a secret that even the immortal kings would find difficult to come into contact with. However, it had now been revealed by Meng Xuan. Meng Xiaobai was indeed Meng Xuan. He was not dead, but he was still alive!
The three of them were panic-stricken and at a loss as to what to do.
A creature from the Western Orthodoxy had just revealed its killing intent towards Meng Xuan. A branch drilled out from the ground and directly pierced through the deity's forehead, cutting off all the blood from his body.
"You saw it too, I have been possessed. How should I get rid of the demon qi on my body?" The Bodhi tree continued. It had already fallen into a predicament where it could not escape from the demonic energy. In other words, it would never be able to transform into a complete Bodhi tree.
Meng Xuan swept a glance at the deities, only to discover that they were also waiting for his answer.
He asked curiously, "Why did you want to get rid of him?"
The Bodhi tree didn't understand. It looked at Meng Xuan, waiting for his next words.
Indeed, Meng Xuan continued, "It is said that the Buddha has a heart of the world, and a merciful heart. However, in history, there have been people who became Buddha even though they were vicious and evil … For example, the Unmoving Bright King and Shakyamuni. You don't need to ask, because of Vajra's glare, Bodhisattva has lowered his eyebrows. "
"Vajra's Angry Eyes, Bodhisattva lowered its eyebrows …" The Bodhi tree still didn't understand.
Meng Xuan was a little speechless. "You still don't understand? Well, I'll give you one solution, to become two Buddha."
This sentence instantly made the Bodhi tree react, "That's right, why didn't I think that I could become two buddhas!"
The crowd of deities sighed. This Meng Xiaobai was truly too strange. It seemed that nothing could make him feel troubled.
"Third question, what is the Dao?"
Tao...
There was more than one person who had asked Meng Xuan such a question, and Meng Xuan's answer was different as well. He then sighed, "The Dao is the path that you have to walk yourself. Everyone has their own Dao, and even the Dao of Heaven and Earth is different. I am unable to answer you. "
