Chapter 2556: Moonlight Still Remembers

This is Jiang Wang with a body like a furnace, refined from the fire of achieving the path.

His seven emotions, six desires, and thirteen honored demons are burned into his uniquely supreme true method—

What else could represent the red dust better than this flame of extreme emotion and desire?

Jiang Wang knows deeply that in this transcendent battle, he can only play a supporting role, but if the drum is beaten well, sometimes it can also strike a decisive blow!

He comes very quickly.

Because red dust and Tianhai, representing the human path and the heaven path, are precisely the only two things he can influence in this transcendence-level struggle.

His greatest talent is always to do his best in the things he can do.

And the benefit of traveling with Chong Xuan Zun lies in this—

No matter what your fighting intention is, or what decision you want to make, this person can give the best cooperation, entirely without needing to communicate.

Dou Zhao's fighting talent is not inferior to Chong Xuan Zun's, but the feeling of joining hands with him is not the same. Chong Xuan Zun always makes the most appropriate choice; he will use one point of force if that's all that's needed, not two. While Dou Zhao will most often be more self-centered... he wants to be the one who strikes the decisive blow, even if sometimes he is not so suitable!

When he moves, Chong Xuan Zun also moves. When he kills out of the purple bamboo forest, Chong Xuan Zun has already cut out the path.

Once the Marquis of the Great Qi’s Bell and Cauldron Food Country, now for Great Qi, he again crashes the cauldron.

Not that he has a special fondness for crashing cauldrons, but in this first moment of unreservedly venting the red dust tribulation fire and igniting the red dust tripod, he already disregards himself, let alone any demeanor or posture.

He only seeks to be faster, more intense, hoping he can do more.

He does not want to have regrets!

Fireworks fall into the red tripod, boiling and intense like magma.

The red dust tribulation, since its birth, has never had such a rampant and wild moment. Jiang Wang almost throws all the accumulation since achieving the path into this fire, making it vibrant like blooming a whole spring.

If Qi Wu Emperor is the Buddha cultivated by Yuan Kong Shi Tai, then red dust is the incense fire of this honored past Buddha!

When the incense fire is prosperous, the god and Buddha are majestic.

The effect of this red dust tribulation fire is immediate.

Not only does the red dust heaven and earth tripod dim and then brighten, extinguish and then flourish, but above the red dust heaven and earth tripod, that gradually fading human image on the heaven path scroll also instantly becomes clear in strokes. The pair of emotional eyes in the painting suddenly turns!

Qi Wu Emperor "lived" again!

The world in the painting and the world outside the painting at this moment have no distinction, like water in a ladle returning to the river and sea.

The "past" is already connected to the present.

The "past" is coming over!

From Jiang Shu's body flies out a great book. The bright and majestic characters "Qi Book" flaunt in the air. This book flies precisely to Chong Xuan Zun's front. Chong Xuan Zun calmly lifts his knife and with a knife flip turns the page.

Cut Delusion points directly to the root, precisely flipping open that page. On the book is written—Dao Calendar year 2894, Emperor Wu abdicates.

The content below has already disappeared, it is a blank, exactly waiting for Qi Wu Emperor from the past time to write!

Di Zang in the East Sea pushes the evolution of the underworld, in a tug-of-war with Great Chu's national power, in strongly summoning Jing Li to become Buddha, in fighting against Ji Feng Zhou. In Tianhai, one body bears three honors, standing in the present to kill the past Buddha... truly all sides are stuck in a delicate balance. Though He has the advantage, He cannot establish victory. Of course, once the past Buddha of Yuan Kong Shi Tai is killed, breaking Yuan Kong Shi Tai's transcendence path, the battle situation will immediately change, giving Him a momentum of breaking through everything.

But before this, the red dust tribulation fire reignites the red dust heaven and earth tripod, and the still-existing Qi Wu Emperor in the past already senses the present world, immediately breaking the balance!

Di Zang at this moment welcomes the challenge of Great Qi Wu Emperor!

That pair of eyes looks at Di Zang, who is propped up halfway from Wanghai Terrace, more accurately, it is looking at the wisp of red on Di Zang's neck—Di Zang's thousand years of lifespan.

Although Di Zang has already forced the lifespan-cutting knife out of His neck, He still hasn't had time to retrieve His own thousand years of lifespan.

This wisp, occasionally like an earthworm, mostly appearing only as smoky red blood, floats on Di Zang's neck, winds around the tip of the lifespan-cutting knife, and also sweeps over Tianfei's hand holding the knife.

Qi Wu Emperor cannot transcend now, because he still needs a little time. His time is tied to Di Zang's neck.

Tianfei is very difficult, Jiang Shu has already done his best.

He should also do something more actively.

So in the painting, he extends his hand. He, from the past, probes towards the present, from inside the painting, probes outside the painting.

This youthful-looking handsome man inside the painting, his extended hand is actually rough and vigorous, extremely full of power, probing out with five fingers spread, as if encompassing everything, just about to overturn Tianhai!

But when falling down, it is yet so gentle.

Gently brushing over Tianfei's fingertip, there is an abnormally gentle intersection, and then it only probes towards that wisp of red lifespan, like picking a flower to take it away—

This is the peerless hero who alone restored the country that year, swept across the East Domain, forcing Jing, Mu, and Chu on three sides to enter the field, only then reluctantly ending it!

Though not transcended, he is infinitely approaching transcendence in Tianfei's cultivated past.

Though transcendence is the path difficult to prove since ancient times, sought by ten thousand ancients.

If he, Jiang Wu Jiu, had another thousand years, and gained immortal nature, no one in this world would doubt that he could transcend!

Pluck down this immortal red lifespan, he will be transcendent upon returning. He also transcends, Tianfei also transcends.

From then on, they will be an eternal couple, the only pair in the world.

At such a moment!

Kaka!

In the distance, Fan Mountain cracks.

Boom boom boom!

Nearby, Wen Mountain rises.

Di Zang on Wanghai Terrace instantly straightens up!

Dantai Wenshu at the critical moment withdraws His Wen Mountain, relaxing His suppression on Di Zang!

The great Buddha power is like water sealed for a long time; at this moment, it is a venting flood!

Matchless power sweeps in all directions. Wanghai Terrace even shows cracks. If not built with starlight and supported with Great Qi's national power, this high terrace suppressing the East Sea would collapse on the spot—in fact, it has already collapsed; it is the hegemonic national power continuously supplementing and refilling it.

Jiang Shu and his Fangtian Ghost God Halberd are also flung away at the moment Di Zang straightens up.

This contemporary Qi Son of Heaven who achieved Great Qi's hegemony is flung flying in the air for the first time in the posture of a defeated one.

He and his purple robe are like a lonely purple flag, fluttering alone in Tianhai...

That path of the Six Harmonies Son of Heaven, he can forever only rely on himself... only rely on himself!

Before, he did not see ancient people—no ancient people were left!

After, he does not see coming ones—no one can take up his responsibility.

He is this nation's highest will, also the last weapon.

He endures a mouthful of defeated blood in his throat, and in such flying, he sees—

That red earthworm thousand lifespan again drills back into Di Zang's back. The cracked skin reweaves and fuses together.

Di Zang stamps one foot firmly on Wanghai Terrace, just a twist of His body, retrieves the eternal lifespan, and the flesh Brahma body again universally shines as the heaven path's golden body. And He rumbingly stands firm in the center of Tianhai, with one hand grabbing the hand that Qi Wu Emperor probes!

The person in the painting, the hand outside the painting.

The Buddha outside the painting catches the Zen inside the painting.

They finally meet!

Di Zang's gaze drops with pity, instantly turns to anger, and instantly to pity again. He says: "Donor Wu Jiu, you and I should have met long ago."

If Jiang Wu Jiu had wholeheartedly thrown himself into the great cause of "welcoming back the World Honored One" that year, with his heroic talent and strategy, he could certainly have allowed Di Zang to escape the seal earlier! One more point of power in the past, one more point of time, realizing the great ideal now would just have one more point of possibility.

But Jiang Wu Jiu did not do that.

He got help from Ku Rong Court, yet he did not fulfill or only pretended to fulfill his promise to Ku Rong Court. He even "conspired against" Ku Rong Court's core inheritor, a generation of heavenly maiden, making her abandon the World Honored One and leave. Even before death, he first called Tianfei to take the life and death Zen skill away, falling to Xiyue Nunnery. He only left unfortunate news for Ku Rong Court.

And in several years later, his direct blood descendant, his later generations, directly gave Ku Rong Court misfortune.

All the painstaking efforts turned into water flowing east. How much Zen cultivation for Qi and how much fighting, yet it only ended with the outcome of the East Country exterminating Buddhism.

To the extent that Suspended Temple, such a Buddhist holy site, just sits in the East Domain, in the most powerful empire of the East Domain, yet has not one temple.

This king with the posthumous title "Wu" forever believes in himself, not in the so-called Buddha.

Di Zang allows not believing or not respecting Buddha, and also understands deception, slander, even utilization. But He can only barely endure someone standing before His ideal, blocking the realization of His ideal—especially this person, who originally should have walked with Him!

Buddha not only has compassion, but also has the wrathful eyes of a vajra, and eternal karmic fire.

At this moment, it is the present Buddha grabbing the past Buddha.

Jiang Wu Jiu is infinitely approaching transcendence, but after all, he has not transcended!

Di Zang looks at this peerless emperor, the abdicated past honored one, just a greeting, and then lightly a tear—

Tear!

The heaven path scroll of the red dust heaven and earth tripod just tears open like this!

Kaka kaka!

In the distance, the five-fingered Fan Mountain also thoroughly collapses!

Jiang Wang, leaning beside the red dust heaven and earth tripod, looks at the fragments of the heaven path stone. For a time, his eyes are fixed—these fragments of the heaven path stone people are not entirely the same as what he thought before. This also once again verifies the thinking of the Immortal Dragon Dharma. The depths of Tianhai are not only heaven people!

But the collapse of Fan Mountain is not due to the affected stone quality.

Dantai Wenshu, in moving away Wen Mountain and releasing Di Zang at the same time, also takes the opportunity of Di Zang erasing the past to mercilessly destroy the five-fingered Fan Mountain, heavily wounding Di Zang!

This five-fingered Fan Mountain, gathered by Di Zang summoning Tianhai stone people, almost represents Di Zang's absolute control over the heaven path. Once destroyed, it means Di Zang is indebted to the heaven path. In the same way that Yiluo heaven people contend for heaven path authority, He only then gains the upper hand.

And Tianfei just returns from the posture of looking up and spitting blood to looking up again, even before completely straightening up, she first probes her hand to chase Jiang Wu Jiu's hand—but she grabs empty!

She looks up again and sees only the cracking smile on Jiang Wu Jiu's portrait, the cracking Jiang Wu Jiu, and the cracking heaven path scroll.

Di Zang tears the painting, Jiang Shu flies backward, Wenshu cracks the mountain, Tianfei grabs empty. These several things happen at the same time.

In a flash of lightning thought, Tianfei's past is wiped away.

That "Qi Book" unfolded before Chong Xuan Zun, after the blank following "Dao Calendar year 2894, Emperor Wu abdicates," slowly floats four characters, "merit disappears, body dies."

Not only did he still die, but even the two characters "next year" are wiped off, advancing it by one year in history!

"Not I without I!"

Di Zang's voice is like a Brahma bell, announcing that that segment of history cannot be turned over: "The past Buddha does not exist now!"

One should have thought of this long ago.

Who couldn't think of it?

Qi country achieving two honored transcendences at once is of no benefit to Dantai Wenshu.

It is of no benefit to any force other than Qi country.

Today, all forces besieging Di Zang, none are happy to see this!

Although Dantai Wenshu is again an attendant to the World Honored One, and is again studying under the Confucian Ancestor, He has ever been a good man and a believing woman?

Crowned with the title of one of the Wicked Sea Three Evils, parallel with Bodhi Evil Ancestor and Hunyuan Evil Immortal, how is He a good character, how has He reason to do good deeds for nothing!

Whoever loves to contribute, let them contribute; He is only for Himself.

Di Zang He also wants to kill, Fan Mountain He also wants to shatter, but if He is asked to suppress Di Zang, letting the young ones of Qi country achieve two transcendences at once, He cannot do it.

If the human race has two newly promoted transcendences, who knows if they won't conveniently flatten the Wicked Sea?

Di Zang is a life and death great enemy, but the human race is also not His friend.

All this is not unthinkable, it's not that they didn't know Dantai Wenshu was unreliable. It's just that the opportunity that will never come again is right before their eyes, so they have to fight.

What to do next?

Could it be that they just give up and disperse?

Dantai Wenshu stabs in the back first, releasing Di Zang's Jing Er is also not so innocent. Even for Ji Feng Zhou, who is locked in a life and death battle with Tianhe Di Zang, alone supporting the fight, could he be willing to be a wedding dress for Qi country, willing to watch with wide eyes as Emperor Wu achieves and Tianfei proves the path?

The Qi people can turn around and leave.

Even that cooperation with the Son of Heaven of the two realms of Yin and Yang is not impossible to reconsider...

Qi country's thousand-year scheme has already become empty. Who cares how Di Zang fares now!?

Jiang Shu, flying backward in the air, however, only unfolds his purple robe. He says nothing, like what he did in those years past—no matter in what situation, no matter how stormy dark clouds cover the moon.

The light of the Purple Micro star is his North Star.

He lifts his battle halberd and turns back to kill, continuing to fight!

He does not allow himself to float vainly in the air, even as a flag.

He wants to grasp everything in his own palm—

Still have to kill Di Zang!

The Son of Heaven of the two realms of Yin and Yang cannot be achieved. Standing on Di Zang's side will inevitably be attacked by all. At this point, only by killing Di Zang can the losses be maximally reduced. It is the choice most beneficial to Qi country.

Still have to cooperate with Dantai Wenshu!

Behind Jiang Shu is Chong Xuan Zun coming with the Cut Delusion Knife. In front of him is Jiang Wang already going with the Immortal Path Sword. The two weakest existences in Tianhai almost simultaneously kill towards Di Zang!

And before all this—

That already torn heaven path scroll suddenly rises with fierce fire!

The red dust tribulation fire boiling in the red dust heaven and earth tripod ignites the heaven path scroll depicting Qi Wu Emperor.

It is not Jiang Wang's control, but Qi Wu Emperor himself hooking it over.

This step is beyond everyone's imagination. He is violently accelerating his own perishing, burning the body of a past Buddha infinitely close to transcendence in almost endless red dust.

Thereby also beyond Di Zang's expectation—

His death time, and Di Zang's intended death time... are not the same!

"Good red dust! It makes me miss it!"

Qi Wu Emperor opens his mouth and says his first sentence after a thousand years.

Such intense red dust pushes the red dust heaven and earth tripod into the boundary of transcendence, and also elevates Qi Wu Emperor's power to an unimaginable level.

"Since you recognize me as a past Buddha—"

He says and lifts his step, crossing out, actually leaping out from that burning heaven path scroll, grabbing the tripod ear of the red dust heaven and earth tripod with one hand, holding this small tripod into a giant tripod of a thousand hundred zhang. Using this as a mountain and a hammer, he swings it in the air, heavily smashing on Di Zang's shiny head, making Him, who had just stood up, smash down again, prostrate on Guanhai Terrace!

"How come, you wear my kasaya!"

At this time, Di Zang is still digesting the heavy wound of Fan Mountain collapsing. He is still in the struggle with Dantai Wenshu, consolidating his successively retreating Tianhai authority. For a time, He cannot resist and actually prostrates low again.

The red dust heaven and earth tripod replaces Wen Mountain, pressing on Di Zang's body. This is a giant tripod that is continuously burning and rapidly perishing. Rolling red dust continuously washes Di Zang's golden body, making it fall!

And in this process, Qi Wu Emperor presses Di Zang with a single palm from afar—

Boom rumble rumble!

A wheel of purple sun directly falls on Tianhai.

That Purple Micro star of the ancient starry sky, with its conceptual main body, is actually summoned by Qi Wu Emperor at this time, with an attitude of no return, bombarding Di Zang's body.

The Son of Heaven's imperial qi is all in one smash, a thousand years of ancestral temple sacrificed together!

The power of the past Buddha's extermination, the power of red dust, the power of the Purple Micro star, the power of the thousand years since Qi country's ancestral temple sacrifice...

The purple sun red tripod, again suppressing Di Zang!

Not as powerful as the previous long halberd and Wen Mountain, but these two are rapidly consuming, instead having a more violent posture. After all, the path of transcendence is broken, the past is already empty. This is the past Buddha named Jiang Wu Jiu, venting his power for the last time.

Di Zang's body meridians and kasaya also turn into crisscrossing binding ropes at this moment!

Jiang Shu drops the meridians, Di Zang seizes them, Jiang Wu Jiu seizes them back. After all, he was the earliest to use supreme star divination cultivation, on the Purple Micro star, dropping the East Country's contract.

But Qi Wu Emperor's palm disappears at this time.

He puckers his mouth with some regret.

Already knowing transcendence is hopeless, already knowing he must die, he does not choose to take revenge on Dantai Wenshu, to eliminate the hate in his heart, but accelerates his perishing by leaping out of the heaven path scroll and exhausting all to attack Di Zang—this action, in essence, is helping Dantai Wenshu contend for heaven authority.

Two emperors, ancient and modern, the Son of Heaven who restored the country a thousand years ago, and the Son of Heaven who achieved hegemony a thousand years later, made the same choice!

Pity that Qi Wu Emperor's path is already exhausted...

At this time, he only looks at Tianfei: "Shu Lian, you are still so beautiful."

Tianfei looks at him, looks at his already disappeared hand, his disappearing body. It is hard to suppress her sorrow; she actually cannot speak.

He only lowers his head to look at himself at this time, but sees below his neck, all is empty. He says with some annoyance: "Ah, I missed one step."

He looks at Jiang Wang, looks at Chong Xuan Zun, and finally looks towards Jiang Shu, who is lifting his halberd to kill, and laughs: "It's good that you are not bad."

He looks at Chong Xuan Zun again: "Accidents are like hair pressed under the pillow, national history is like combing hair in front of a mirror. Boy, the parts involving me, remember to carefully polish. My appearance cannot be un-beautified, my heroic spirit cannot be un-strengthened."

His gaze shifts to Jiang Wang: "Right, Xiang Mi is the fifth Dharma King of Ancient Nan Mountain, not the seventh. I also read history books a little; we can discuss it sometime."

He looks back at Tianfei again: "In the demon realm, I have a... uh, friend. He taught me to read this scripture. Really just a friend."

His voice and that handsome man's face disappear together.

All his words occurred in the past, they do not affect the present time, and he forever stops in the past.

The heaven path scroll is thereby burned, leaving no ashes.

Qi Wu Emperor never returns, Tianfei's path to transcendence is broken!
