Yang Jian smiled with a touch of irony as he directly went to guard the door of Yushun Grand Buddha. Guanyin Bodhisattva entered through this door, and his relationship with Guanyin Bodhisattva had always been good. Whether it was out of obligation or not, he would definitely help her. As for the disciples of Chuanzang? They could only wish for their own good fortune.
Deng Chanyu inside the training ground has no idea about the outside changes. She is determined to break through the barrier. At first, she is worried that Duo Bao and her big brother will get ahead of her. Later, she just can't afford it.
The sixth stage defeated Yuan Feng with an even more abundant Southern Brightness Fire, and the seventh stage faced off against Luo Hu.
This is not the same as one Demon Dynasty passing down through three generations, becoming increasingly out of touch with the times, and being ridiculed successively by Luo Hu. Instead, it is the Western Warlord who competed with Hong Jun for the opportunity to become a saint.
Luo Hu, in the past, wielded the Qiang Shishi Shen, a fierce warrior whose strength was formidable to an extreme degree. The memories of Hou Tu and Qi Lin both have dim recollections of this figure due to limited conditions, only replicating roughly 20% to 30% of his prowess. Luo Hu's Qiang Shishi Shen is merely a ghost from the past with no real power akin to just one-hundredth of the Qiang Shishi Shen's might. Deng Chanyu chanted Buddhist mantras incessantly, her throat raw from yelling until she finally managed to suppress Luo Hu's demonic intent, winning with difficulty.
In the eighth stage, she encountered the Lord of the Heavens!
Good news, this is not the Tiantian Daoist Master of the Saint period. Bad news, this Tiantian Daoist Master is definitely a chopping-off-two-bodies realm.
This was the most difficult stage Deng Chanyu had to face. The Tiantian Daoist Master was incredibly formidable. The ancestral ancestors of the Wu tribe could fight as well, but they mostly relied on their physical strength and bloodline powers, looking down upon magic and not being skilled in its use. However, the Tiantian Daoist Master was a combat wizard; magic, cultivation techniques, and swordsmanship were merely means to him. He would use any means necessary as long as it could defeat his enemies.
The "Cutting off Two Bodies" of Hong Pangu and the Tiantian Daoist Master are not the same thing. Perhaps if Deng Chanyu reaches the "Cutting off Two Bodies" stage herself, she might be able to challenge this Tiantian Daoist Master head-on. However, it is definitely not something she can do now.
She deliberately gave away her weakness, causing the Qingping Sword to pierce through her shoulder. She gripped the Qingping Sword tightly, and the Tiantian Daoist Master, reluctant to part with his proof-of-the-way treasure, hesitated slightly. This gave her the chance to strike back and shatter this avatar of memories with a quick swipe.
She was injured, and the injury was quite severe.
She rested in the training ground for a year, barely recovering to 60% to 70% of her original strength. It was only then that she pushed open the last door.
Staring at the monster that resembled a giant blood-and-meat tree, she was left in shock.
The branch-like tentacles swept across, and she quickly used spatial displacement to evade.
Evading is necessary because, although the branches seem to strike, they actually emit a faint mist when brought close. The specific substance of the mist is unclear, but Deng Chanyu knows that she must not touch it in any way.
The next moment, the blood-and-meat giant tree actually gave her a strange "look," and Deng Chanyu felt as if the space she was dodging had suddenly become unfamiliar. She felt as though she were facing an abyss that was about to swallow her whole, surrounded by a pitch-black environment. Her body was uncontrollably pulled downwards at an increasing speed. A great fear enveloped her from all directions. Clenching her teeth, she forced herself to maintain composure and used the long-unused female Emperor's Path body, relying on its sacred characteristics to restore clarity to her spiritual core, finally breaking free of the control.
After recovering from the nightmare-like scene, she was drenched in sweat, all of it from being scared. This enemy was incredibly powerful.
"Madam? Should the Madam of Ping Xin be here?" She was really holding on by a thread. This was the last stage, and her current strength wasn't enough to defeat the enemy.
The voice of the Madam of Pingxin was calm and unhurried: "Yes, I'm here. I haven't congratulated you yet on reaching the final stage. currently, Dabao Dao Ren has defeated the avatar of the Yuqing Saint from the eighth stage and is recovering from his injuries. You have a lead in time."
Deng Chanyu said with a flat expression: "Whether this lead is significant or not, I don't think it matters. If I'm not mistaken, the guy in the ninth stage should be a chaotic demigod, right? Unless you, Madam, personally step in, no cultivator from the Hongshuang will be able to defeat a demigod. Even Tai Ji won't be able to do it. What's the purpose of setting up this test?"
She followed up with another question: "I have also traveled through Chaos, and this Demigod looks unfamiliar. Is it from the memories of Qi Lin?"
"No," the Madam of Pingxin said gently, "This is Hou Tu's memory, from the Father God."
"Father, Father God?" Deng Chanyu was stunned. It's actually possible for memories from the ancient times of Pangu to be passed down through bloodline? From this point of view, Hou Tu's talent is truly outstanding! But it's a pity."
No wonder the chaotic Demigod gave her a much stronger impression than the previous Demigods of Desire and Decay, it's because it's one of the Three Thousand Demigods from the era of Pangu.
"You are the beloved of Daji, and thus also my descendant. Would you like to follow Hou Tu's bloodline and go see the distant past?"
What to see? Of course, it's to see how Pangu divides the chaotic Demigod.
This is a no-brainer? She definitely wants to go see, as Deng Chanyu cannot defeat this blood-and-meat giant Demigod, the gap is too large.
"All things are as per the instructions of the Madam."
"Alright, come over here."
Deng Chanyu's vision blurred as the former Hu Tu's essence became a bridge connecting the past. (Chapter 190, a thousand-chapter foreshadowing)
It seemed as if some great power was dragging her at a high speed towards the starting point of time.
She doesn't know how much time has passed. As she crosses the vast river of time, countless real or fake, existent or non-existent scenes flash before her eyes. She seems to sense an unknown secret calling her, causing a certain stirring in her heart. Her spatial path seems to have the potential for an unprecedented and unexpected enhancement. Just as she wants to explore the hidden secrets within it, the Madam of Pingxin waves her hand, completely separating her from the river of time.
Concerned that she might harbor resentment, this straightforward saint also explained: "Your talent is truly very high, but knowledge is a gift and also a deadly poison. Don't lightly venture into areas that you can't control."
Deng Chanyu quickly agreed.
The bizarre and chaotic scenes continued for a long time. As she felt dizzy and like she was about to collapse, hands helped steady her.
The hand's owner was someone she knew well, Daji.
Daji looked somewhat worried: "So slow? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Deng Chanyu was dizzy to the point of being unable to speak, just nodding in response.
It took her quite a while to recover, and only then did she have the energy to look around.
Hmph! The summer camp organized by the Madam of Pingxin has quite a few participants.
Daji, Míng, and Jì are all present, and next to the Madam of Pingxin is the muscle-bound old man Qí Lín. Deng Chanyu is the sixth to arrive.
All those present are the Madam of Pingxin's own people. In Deng Chanyu's eyes, Qí Lín must be a firm ally of the Wu tribe, and she herself can be considered a half-relative.
