Gu Tianshu!
Nangong Zheng was slightly surprised; it was actually him, a Great Sage from 70,000 years ago.
He remembered that Gu Tianshu left inscriptions in Zishan, and the characters were imbued with a profound Taoist charm that has not faded even after 70,000 years.
The famous line, "At the end of the immortal path, who stands at the peak? Upon seeing the Beginningless One, all is vanity," was left by Gu Tianshu, who was also a fan of the Beginningless One.
He voluntarily became the guardian of Emperor Wushi's tomb and was sealed in the divine source by Emperor Wushi to be left for the next life.
Next, Nangong Zheng, Gu Tianshu, and the big black dog went up to examine the huge scripture, which was filled with complex and unpredictable Taoist talismans.
The two most mysterious scriptures in the World today are the "Immortal Scripture" and the "Beginningless Scripture".
Zixia and Ye Fan were both immersed in the Dao, resonating with each other and becoming absorbed in a special Dao realm. Even Gu Tianshu's arrival did not disturb them.
Nangong Zheng's eyes gleamed as he examined this scripture as well. This scripture was not written entirely in words but rather contained Dao patterns that required his own understanding and interpretation, making it quite complex.
He was quite surprised. This scripture was too complicated, making it really difficult for ordinary people to understand. No wonder the conditions for cultivation were so harsh.
"This is… the Wheel Sea Chapter of the Beginningless Sutra!" Gu Tianshu's expression shifted slightly as he made his judgment.
The Sutra of No Beginning, Chapter on the Sea of Wheels!
Nangong Zheng began to ponder silently, wanting to memorize everything.
"The Beginningless Sutra is indeed profound and unfathomable!" Ye Fan exclaimed as he came back to his senses.
Zixia stood there, tall and slender with a slim waist and flowing hair, shrouded in a purple aura. Her peerless beauty was veiled in mist, and a purple glow emanated from between her brows, blooming. That was a Dao imprint, constantly absorbing the true meaning of the Great Dao.
When they came to their senses, they were startled to see an unfamiliar older man in white standing there.
"This is the guardian of the tomb of the Great Emperor Wushi, Senior Gu Tianshu!" Nangong Zheng introduced.
"The sage Gu Tianshu from 70,000 years ago?" Ye Fan was surprised. This was his first time entering Purple Mountain, and he had seen many writings left by the ancient sages. This person was the most powerful sage, and he never expected to encounter him at this time.
"Greetings, senior!"
Zixia bowed, also surprised. She had heard of this person's name before. He was the Great Sage Gu Tianshu from 70,000 years ago, a renowned and powerful figure. She never expected him to be the guardian of the tomb of the Great Emperor Wushi, and still alive today.
"The innate Dao embryo and the holy body have both appeared in this lifetime, very good!" Gu Tianshu said with a smile. At this moment, he did not look like a great saint at all, but rather like a kind older man.
"This is a rare opportunity. You should continue your study and don't need to pay attention to this old man," Gu Tianshu said.
Next, everyone memorized the Wheel Sea Chapter of the "Beginningless Sutra". If they wanted to comprehend it, it would not be accomplished overnight, so they first memorized this sutra.
"Boy, take a look at the Beginningless Sutra!" the big black dog said.
Then Ye Fan walked over and began flipping through the scriptures, but they did not budge. The stone pages were as heavy as billions of tons and could not be moved by any mortal power.
"Fairy Zixia, let's try flipping it over together!" Ye Fan called out to Zixia.
Zixia nodded gently, stepped forward, and began to turn the pages of the stone scripture with Ye Fan.
With a loud boom, the scriptures seemed to burst into flames, and their radiance soared into the sky.
The buzzing sound rang out again, the scriptures were turned over once more, and then froze in place, the scriptures resounding like the vibration of a divine drum.
"No, this isn't the next page, it's not a scripture for the Dao Palace realm!" the big black dog said with a serious expression.
"Try again and see if you can continue flipping it!" Gu Tianshu frowned slightly.
Upon hearing this, the two went to look at the scripture again, but this time it was no use; it was firmly fixed in place.
"Don't force it; this is the only way. It seems that even if we gather the Sacred Body and the Dao Embryo, we can only see a part of it. Only the true innate Sacred Body and Dao Embryo can receive the complete inheritance! The big black dog sighed.
"This is a forbidden secret technique!" Nangong Zheng looked at the frozen page, his face showing surprise.
"This technique, called 'Beginningless,' can return everything to its origin!" the big black dog said.
"Quickly comprehend it!" the big black dog said. He had seen the Great Emperor Wushi use it before, so he naturally knew its value.
This was an extraordinary stroke of luck, and the group calmed their minds and focused on comprehending the Dharma.
After an unknown amount of time, Nangong Zheng, Gu Tianshu, and the others all opened their eyes, revealing expressions of surprise. It was truly difficult.
Nangong Zheng was shocked. This technique actually involved the Great Dao of Time. It was too shocking. The difficulty of cultivating it was extremely high!
Time reigns supreme, space is king!
No wonder the Great Emperor Wushi swept across the past and present, finding few rivals. A Great Emperor who controls the Great Dao of Time must possess terrifying combat power!
However, Wushi's strength is multifaceted. One is his supreme physique; the other is his mastery of the Great Dao of Time.
After all, he is the reincarnation of Wuzhong, the alt account of a powerful immortal king. How could he not be strong!
At this moment, Ye Fan and Zixia were both frowning. This secret technique was too complicated. They had both met half of the conditions for the Holy Body Dao Embryo, but they were still somewhat baffled!
"Now you know why, right? This is the specialized cultivation method for the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, and the requirements are too high." The big black dog sighed.
"We are lucky. We found the Beginningless Scripture of the Sea of Wheels Secret Realm, which is a method for building the Dao. Otherwise, it would be difficult to perform such a divine technique!" Gu Tianshu said.
Nangong Zheng nodded. For an ordinary person, without the foundational chapters of the Wushi Jing, to use the secret technique "Wushi," one must at least reach the Quasi-Emperor realm and delve extremely deep into that realm.
The crowd continued to observe, imprinting the image into their minds. Once imprinted, it could never be erased. At that moment, the Beginningless Scripture closed with a loud bang, its imperial aura receding, and it could no longer be opened.
Ye Fan was startled and went up to try to activate it together with Zixia, but found that they couldn't budge it at all!
when!
At this moment, the Boundless Bell suddenly rang out, like the heavenly sound of the Great Dao, shaking people's hearts and resonating with gentle bell waves!
"There's no need to try anymore. Without the Holy Body and Dao Embryo being born, we cannot obtain the complete scriptures! At this moment, a divine voice rang out, echoing throughout the entire hall.
"The Bell of No Beginning, an Imperial Weapon and a Divine Being!" Nangong Zheng was slightly startled.
Since the sound came from the large bell above the stone wall, it must have been the deity of the Wushi Emperor Bell speaking.
Everyone was shocked, never expecting that the deity within the imperial weapon would speak.
"Old Zhong, you've recovered?... Do you know the whereabouts of the Great Emperor? Tell me quickly, has he entered the Immortal Realm?!" The big black dog was both excited and expectant. Normally, this big bell didn't pay much attention to him, but now that he had finally found an opportunity, he was determined to find out.
As the Emperor's weapon of the Great Emperor Wushi, I want to know more about the secrets of the Great Emperor Wushi!
Gu Tianshu, Ye Fan, and Zixia all held their breath and waited quietly for the Wushi Bell to speak. This was an ancient secret, and every cultivator wanted to know the truth. If the Wushi Emperor were not dead, it would prove that immortality was not an illusion, greatly encouraging all cultivators in the World.
"Little Black, I do not know the Emperor's life or death status!" Wushizhong said after a moment of silence.
"What? You don't know either?" The big black dog was stunned upon hearing this and, as if it had lost all its energy, slumped to the ground again, looking utterly dejected.
The big black dog was truly devastated; it was completely listless, its eyes were vacant, it clutched its head with both hands, and its expression was one of pain.
"Don't worry, the Great Emperor has been powerful all his life; he won't die so easily!" Gu Tianshu patted the big black dog on the shoulder to comfort him.
"Yes, yes, he must have broken into the Immortal Realm!" The big black dog's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded.
"The Great Emperor Wushi suppressed the seven forbidden zones of life, annihilated the gods from beyond the realm, swept across the six directions and eight wastelands, was invincible in heaven and Earth, and was feared throughout the ages. How could such a figure pass away in obscurity?" Ye Fan said.
"I think the Great Emperor Wushi is very likely not dead. Otherwise, given his style, even if he were about to pass away, he would still make a move on the forbidden zone of life and perish in his brilliance!" Ye Fan continued.
"That makes sense, that makes a lot of sense!" the big black dog nodded.
Gu Tianshu's eyes also showed a strange look. He glanced at Ye Fan. He had spent some time with the Great Emperor Wushi and knew his personality. It was indeed possible that Ye Fan was right.
Nangong Zheng was dumbfounded. Ye Fan's skin was really thick. He was now praising the Great Emperor Wushi. No wonder in the original work, when he saw the divine thought of the Great Accomplished Holy Body, he directly asked the senior to bestow a method.
"The current Holy Body does have some insight!" said the God of the Beginningless Bell, with a slight smile on his face.
Nangong Zheng glanced at Ye Fan, his eyes flickering almost imperceptibly.
Ye Fan understood and knew his opportunity had come, so he quickly said, "Senior Wushizhong, could you do me a favor?"
"What kind of help?!" the God of the Beginningless Bell asked calmly.
Ye Fan quickly described where he was going, and to his surprise, the Boundless Bell actually knew Earth's coordinates.
"Okay, Earth's deity of the Beginningless Bell replied. For him, this was truly a trivial matter.
The Boundless Bell trembled, cleansing the heavens. The bell's waves rippled endlessly, and a phantom light appeared, enveloping Ye Fan and Zixia's bodies. A rain of light filled the air, and the two vanished without a trace the next moment.
"Old Zhong, you... How did you teleport her away, too!?" The big black dog exclaimed in surprise, its eyes wide open.
"Aren't the Holy Body and the Dao Embryo of this era a pair?" asked the God of the Beginningless Bell with some surprise.
Nangong Zheng was speechless. What kind of situation was this? The Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion had also been sent to Earth!
What if the HolEarthd of the Purple Mansion asks me for Zixia? Should I go to Earth and bring her baEarthself?
"Senior, can you send the innate Dao embryo back?" Nangong Zheng asked.
"I'm afraid that won't work. My power is limited. If I want to teleport back, I'll have to wait at least two years to accumulate my strength!" the deity of the Boundless Bell said leisurely.
Nangong Zheng was dumbfounded, completely stunned! The Beginningless Bell is a revived imperial weapon; it cannot remain dormant. How could it possibly prevent someone from being brought back?!
He quickly realized that the bell of no beginning was intentional!
