Chapter 2815 - 79: What Can Redeem a Hundred Generations!

The vastness of the secret land of Shenxiao has yet to be explored by the guests participating in this competition.

For example, the whereabouts of the wreckage of the Time Treasure Ship "Flying Light" are known only to Master Xingnian.

Figures like Lu Qilang and Yuan Mengji have only reached this Divine Mountain, their gaze temporarily confined here.

Master Xingnian planned for five hundred years, using the Shenxiao layout to achieve his goal, he altered the contents of "Buddha’s Fifty-Eight Chapters", calculated the Flying Light of the secret land of Shenxiao, strategized against the plot of Zhu Yi, borrowed the move of Tiger Taisui, seized treasures amidst the strife between Ji Xingkong and Chan Fayuan, and used the monastics of Ancient Nan Mountain to summon the Knowledge and Hearing Bell.

From nothingness emerged something, realizing the distance between the Land of Shenxiao and the present world. By using Immortal Spring Water, he bridged the eternal chasm. With the Treasure Ship of Zhi Wen, he isolated the Divine Declining Power, the endless peril within the eternal chasm, and even convinced Yuan Xianting to deliver him a journey...

This layout, spanning five hundred years, cannot be said to lack profundity.

But Mi Zhiben, who ranks the Heavenly List and critiques the world’s heroes, is the foremost in Heavenly Demon Calculation power in the current era.

This world has never been the private chessboard of anyone; as humans calculate Tigers, Tigers also calculate humans, and many have plotted throughout history.

At this moment, cause and effect clash, fate overturns, and the Heavenly Mechanism is thrown into chaos!

Master Xingnian, now reflecting, realizes that five hundred years ago, when Master Ming Zhi passed away, Mi Zhiben already had suspicions. Because at that time, the net intended to capture more Great Bodhisattvas of Mount Sumeru, more Yan Dao of the Human Race, yielded few results... Throughout the five hundred years, he has been searching for himself!

The five hundred years were Xingnian’s dormant waiting, yet they were also Mi Zhiben’s silent patience!

Mi Zhiben may not have seen his full layout. But maintaining suspicion, several key nodes are difficult for Mi Zhiben to miss.

For instance, the critical moment when Ji Xingkong and Chan Fayuan were fighting, was the best, even the only opportunity to seize the Knowledge and Hearing Bell. Regardless of how he muddles cause and effect or masks the Heavenly Mechanism, if he chooses to act now, his timing is fixed.

This is not a fair fight.

Mi Zhiben doesn’t need to figure out everything, nor even need to figure him out. Just need to hide a precautionary trick in the numerous possibilities of the Shenxiao layout.

Living in the Monster Realm, Mi Zhiben can mobilize too many resources, yet he has too few options!

Regarding these, Master Xingnian was not enlightened only at this moment.

He has always been aware.

But if he misses this opportunity, when will the next occur?

Will there be a next time?

Once the Knowledge and Hearing Bell is lost in secrecy, none can retrieve it.

If it falls into the hands of Black Lotus Temple, to avoid backlash from Ancient Nan Mountain, one can imagine how Black Lotus Temple will guard this bell.

And if Ancient Nan Mountain successfully retains the Knowledge and Hearing Bell, having almost been taken by Black Lotus Temple, perhaps they’ll rather let the Treasure Mountain hang empty, not daring to move...

Five hundred years back, five hundred years forward, this is nearly the only opportunity.

Though he has many strategies, he is compelled to act!

The so-called "Three Hearsay and Three Buddha’s Beliefs" are ancient teachings of Buddhism. Now the Wowing Bell, Guangwen Bell are present, only the Knowledge and Hearing Bell is lost in the Monster Realm, countless years without return.

This is the greatest shame since the establishment of Sumeru’s monastery.

Numerous High monks and great virtuous ones, in their final moments, constantly wish for the Monster Realm.

It is time to put an end to this!

Regrets like his master’s should not be repeated.

Sacrifices like Uncle Master Ming Zhi’s should not be reenacted.

To avoid being traced, during these five hundred years scattered across scriptures, he mostly remained in extinction. During every interval of spontaneous contemplation, he would ask himself one question—

Is my preparation adequate?

Manifesting the distant journey, enough to reach the Other Shore of the present world.

Immortal Spring Water, enough to bridge the eternal chasm.

The Treasure Ship of Zhi Wen, sufficient to isolate Divine Declining Power.

Yet at this moment, raging waves erupt, infinite storms in the Celestial River!

First to descend are Ji Xingkong’s Extinction Dharma Staff and Chan Fayuan’s World Crossing Treasure Wheel.

As Master Xingnian reveals the world here, the Time Maze has already lost its effect.

The two who lost their orthodox transmissions yet gained nothing, feel deceived and used as bait, are truly enraged. They ceased their battle simultaneously, and both cast their spells upon the eternal chasm.

The black Extinction Dharma Staff turned the sky to darkness, striking the void until it thinned into a bubble... With this staff, extinction descends upon the world, the voice of compassion is no longer heard. The entire Treasure Ship of Zhi Wen, Immortal Spring Water, all began to sink. That Other Shore grows distant, the cliffs rise higher, lowering the Celestial River’s water level by three hundred meters!

Whereas the World Crossing Treasure Wheel seemed like the mirrored moon, floating amidst the turbulent waves of the Celestial River. Its influence expanded, illuminating all generations, the entire river’s surface formed the wheel’s illusion. Truly like a terrifying circular abyss, connecting to unknown realms of extinction.

The returning ships of home, travelers journeying home, are at the center of this frightening circular abyss, surrounded by monstrous waves, within the eternal chasm, holding Immortal Spring Water with Divine Declining Power.

No sun above, no moon, no hometown, only the future of extinction brought by Ji Xingkong.

Master Xingnian stands solitary on a small boat, adrift without reliance. The giant waves gather, so teetering.

The Knowledge and Hearing ferries on the Celestial River, what resembles him in the Monster Realm?

Jiang Wang, observing this from the Mirror World, completely empathizes.

Yet only hears him sing, the song lyrics—

"Life has regrets, bear to turn around, how can change withstand the impermanence of the world."

This handsome monk, one doesn’t know how many times he has drifted in worldly affairs.
