Chapter 1843 The Monkey's Lingering Regret
Ye Ning nodded, naturally not stopping the Buddha.
However, he still sent a message back, fearing that the powerful figures in the Heavenly Court might not believe the Buddha and, if they thought the Buddha was just a spy, might just kill him on the spot.
Although Buddha has become the strongest among the Heavenly Emperors, how extraordinary are the strongest beings in the Heavenly Court? Each of them is older than him and has already reached that realm.
If they were to take action, it wouldn't be difficult to kill the strongest among the Heavenly Emperors.
Even if the Buddha were to fight them one-on-one, he might not be able to defeat any of them.
After receiving Ye Ning's message, Buddha breathed a sigh of relief.
He left this place, abandoning the entire Buddhist land.
To sever all karmic ties with the Buddhist land, the Buddha naturally wouldn't stay there, and he probably wouldn't return in this lifetime.
At that very moment, a powerful aura soared into the sky above the Eastern Divine Dynasty. It belonged to a terrifyingly powerful figure. Although he was not the Heavenly Emperor, his overwhelming aura was in no way inferior to that of a high-ranking Heavenly Emperor.
That was the Jade Emperor. The moment he sensed the Buddha leaving, he acted immediately.
The divine dynasty above Dongsheng Shenzhou swept across the four continents with the most powerful means, and no strongman could stop it.
Even a quasi-Heavenly Emperor must bow before this divine dynasty of the Eastern Continent, daring not to harbor the slightest thought of rebellion, because even a quasi-Heavenly Emperor cannot defeat the Jade Emperor.
Ye Ning turned back to Flower Fruit Mountain and saw the monkey, who was still waiting there.
When the monkey saw Ye Ning appear, its eyes lit up: "I thought you weren't coming back."
Ye Ning rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Can't you think of me in a nice way?"
The monkey chuckled: "By the way, was that the bald monk who was looking for you just now? I saw him leave the Buddha Land. Could it be that his karmic ties with the Buddha Land have been severed?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ning was startled. He stared at the monkey in disbelief, his brows furrowed, and asked, "How did you know?"
The cause and effect between the Buddha and the Buddha-land is the Buddha's most profound secret.
While it's impossible to say that absolutely no one knows about this, there are certainly not many. This monkey, who doesn't seem to have any close relationship with Buddha, actually knows Buddha's secret, which is truly unbelievable to Ye Ning.
The monkey smiled, pointed to its eyes, and said, "These eyes of mine are the Chaos Divine Eyes. There is nothing I cannot see. Even the Heavenly Emperor, a powerful figure, I can see through some of their secrets."
Ye Ning was shocked. No wonder the other party saw through his lie at a glance. The so-called Chaos Divine Eye was indeed terrifyingly powerful.
"I want to cultivate here," Ye Ning said.
Hearing Ye Ning's words, the monkey nodded and smiled, "I'll arrange a place for you. With me here, no one will dare to disturb you."
"Thank you, Brother Monkey," Ye Ning said.
Then, he was led by the monkey into a cave.
Here, Ye Ning cultivates and interacts with other cultivators around him.
Because he was brought by the monkey, those people treated Ye Ning with great politeness and showed no hostility whatsoever.
Ye Ning also asked those people about the monkey's background, but no one knew anything. They only knew that the monkey existed when Flower Fruit Mountain appeared.
It has always been there, and its strength is extremely high; even a Great Sage at his peak might not be his match.
There was even a powerful figure at the quasi-Heavenly Emperor level who tried to subdue him, but in the end, that quasi-Heavenly Emperor level expert suddenly died.
Since then, no expert at the Quasi-Heavenly Emperor level has dared to come here.
However, other cultivators, especially some rogue cultivators or those persecuted by major sects, would come here to beg the monkey to take them in.
The monkey was kind-hearted, so it let them stay.
As a guardian, if a truly powerful person appears with unclear intentions, the monkey will test them. If the other party harbors malice, the monkey will directly defeat them.
When Ye Ning appeared, he fought a fierce battle with the monkey. Everyone thought that Ye Ning was not a good person, otherwise why would the monkey fight against Ye Ning?
Who would have thought that the monkey would eventually accept Ye Ning and place him in Flower Fruit Mountain?
"So, no one knows his background?" Ye Ning asked curiously.
He had a feeling that this monkey might be related to the legendary Monkey King.
The myths and legends of Kyushu are being verified in the Buddhist land, where many things match the myths and legends of Kyushu.
In other words, the fact that this place is called Flower Fruit Mountain and there is a powerful monkey here is definitely not a coincidence; there must be some cause and effect.
However, Ye Ning still couldn't find a clue.
He could only continue cultivating and improving his strength.
After a period of communication, Ye Ning's strength rose to the second level of the Divine Illumination Realm. He made further progress in strength, but he was still unable to fight against a powerhouse at the Quasi-Heavenly Emperor level.
Ye Ning stayed here to cultivate in seclusion. The atmosphere here was excellent, and he had many powerful figures from various parts of the Buddhist Land to exchange ideas with, which greatly benefited his cultivation. He could stay here for a while and naturally wouldn't leave easily.
On that very day, Ye Ning continued his cultivation.
But a figure suddenly appeared beside him, which startled Ye Ning, who looked up at the person abruptly.
Upon regaining consciousness, he immediately summoned the Immortal-Slaying Blade in his mind, and then summoned the Star Radiance, enveloping himself in it.
After doing all this, Ye Ning felt a little more at ease and looked at the figure sitting next to him.
At this moment, the Immortal-Slaying Blade also showed a look of surprise and uncertainty. He looked at the figure with some astonishment, clearly recognizing the other party.
Ye Ning discovered that it was an old monkey, its fur was dry and its shape was somewhat illusory. It sat there and looked quite weathered.
His body was covered in tattered armor and stained with blood that had not yet dried, making him look rather pitiful.
Ye Ning observed carefully and suddenly realized that the other party was not human, but a wisp of lingering will.
Realizing this, Ye Ning was shocked. The lingering remnant of his will was so powerful that it even alarmed the Immortal-Slaying Blade.
What kind of terrifying creature must this monkey have been in its lifetime?
Otherwise, how could the Immortal-Slaying Blade have appeared?
As if sensing Ye Ning's thoughts, the lingering spirit raised its head.
At this moment, Ye Ning finally saw the other party's appearance clearly. He looked exactly like the monkey at the ninth level of the Saint Venerable Realm in Flower Fruit Mountain, except that he was much older, like an older version of that monkey.
The Immortal-Slaying Blade materialized, taking on a human form. She sighed and said, "I never imagined you would actually die too."
Startled, the monkey's lingering spirit fixed its gaze on the Immortal-Slaying Blade, a look of surprise on its face: "Could he be that person?"
The monkey asked with a hint of shock in its eyes as it looked at Ye Ning.
The Immortal-Slaying Blade nodded, without denying it.
The monkey's eyes suddenly lit up, and golden light enveloped Ye Ning. He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Great! With him here, I can rest assured in this world."
Hearing the monkey's words, the Immortal-Slaying Blade scoffed: "What are you so worried about! He only went back to the past because he couldn't beat them in the future. What are you so worried about?"
The monkey's laughter stopped abruptly.
