1021 Amid The Silence Comes The Crash Of Thunder (1/2)

The moon hung in the west with Venus on the other side. The morning's silhouette appeared halfway up the hill.

This was the second time Meng Qi met with Ananda face to face. But last time at the fight of Spirited Mountain, he saw Devil Buddha Ananda who wore golden dark cassock with one bare shoulder. And now he was faced with Ananda from the beginning, one of the most outstanding disciples of Gautama Buddha and the God of Thunder in the past.

What a shame, even this could not be counted as face to face as it was only a stamp. However, if Gautama Buddha did not suppress it, he still could only see virtual shadow from the past. The shadow might turn to Devil Buddha anytime and Meng Qi might not be able to see pure Ananda anymore. Even if he went back to the past or future, it would still stay the same.

For big shots in the Nirvana Realm, existence already surpassed the real world, and half-surpassed the river of time. To kill them at their weak time was only a dream. If one could not defeat them now, it would stay the same even if the time went back to the past.

Of course it was not certain if going back to the past would definitely have no influence on Nirvana Realm individuals. As different Nirvana Realm individuals would go back to different layers. Beginners could only go back to the first round of Samsara, but the eldest Nirvana Realm individuals like Heavenly Lord Yuanshi could go back to the beginning of everything. If the multiverse was born just now, Heavenly Lord Yuanshi would choose to go back to the crack of doom, so that other Nirvana Realm individuals would not even have the chance to live in this world. Lord Ling Bao intended to do the same but unfortunately the eldest Nirvana Realm individuals were not only him.

In other words, Nirvana Realm individuals became more powerful when becoming older.

But they did share the same weak points. So many possibilities in the future and countless branches, Nirvana Realm individuals could not occupy all and therefore leave chances for their enemies. The enemy would not agree that easily and therefore nothing could be fixed that easily without strategies and skills.

The Demonic Sage failed once at Spirited Mountain because of it. Since Devil Buddha did not try to change the process of the Battle of Spirited Mountain, one could assume that most people on site were Nirvana Realm individuals.

Only a Nirvana Realm individual can limit another Nirvana Realm individual.

For an average man, a Nirvana Realm individual to some degree already went against logic and they dared not to dream of battling with another Nirvana Realm individual. Even if some Nirvana Realm individuals became weak, or went asleep, etc. and they won a round, after the Nirvana Realm individual recovered and went back to the past to change history, they would not even have the memory of winning but only lose it.

Therefore, every time when Meng Qi thought about Devil Buddha, Ajati Matriarch Golden Emperor, he felt that there was still a long way to go.

The monk in the grey robe stepped on stairs with difficulties and finally arrived at the Mountainside Pavilion. He soon found out other people's presence and looked at the Sage of Arithmetic, Meng Qi, and Bi Jingxuan with tired but clear eyes.

Meng Qi stared back and had a complex feeling.

Ananda looked away and then stared at the Sage of Arithmetic. He nodded slightly without any expressions. He seemed to feel nothing about Meng Qi and was going to pass the Mountainside Pavilion and climb up all the way to the mountaintop.

This was definitely only a stamp. He could only react according to the process in the past. He did not feel anything connection between me and himself… Meng Qi sighed quietly.

The Sage of Arithmetic stood up and arranged his robe and grey hair. He smiled and walked out of the Mountainside Pavilion and stopped in front of Ananda. He made a polite gesture and asked, ”Master, I do not know what proper name I should call you. But I need to ask you a question about a place.”

Ananda kept his sad look and put his palms together. Then he said, ”I have no identity or name. Please feel free to call me anything you like.”

”Which place do you want to ask?”

Meng Qi and Bi Jingxuan followed the Sage of Arithmetic and heard him say, ”I want to ask the right path towards the remains of the Heavenly Court.”

Ananda was stunned for a short while. Meng Qi was a bit surprised, too. What a sharp question. He acted like he already knew that Ananda knew the path. If he was Ananda, he would hit him so hard just like hitting Grand Wang Trickster before. But It seemed that the Sage of Arithmetic was a Wang Family member, only he had a different style and manner.

It was not easy for the Sage of Arithmetic to be able to survive until now but was he going to learn a lesson and act more smartly?

Ananda closed his eyes and held his beads. He said, ”Follow me.”

He said it in a plain tone as if he did not care about it at all in a standard Arhat Buddha manner.

The evil thoughts hadn't taken control of him yet… Meng Qi pondered. Suddenly he noticed that the beads in Ananda's hand were different from other black or brown beads. It only had five beads in the color of yellow, water color, purple, mixed black and white, and plain color. It was a very high rank beads consisted of Meritorious Virtues, Holy Virtue, Happiness Virtue, Virtue, and Yin Virtue.

A Heavenly Weapon made according to the Demonic Sage's Five Virtues. Could it be the love token? Meng Qi suddenly remembered something and felt scalp numb.

Right now Ananda should have The Seal of Samsara!

The seal of Samsara was not suppressed. Devil Buddha could use it to make the Six Dao of Samsara!

Don't excite The Seal of Samsara. It might issue an attack at any time… Meng Qi was relieved that The Seal of Samsara was an old Heavenly Weapon and needed a long time to sleep to resist the time river's wash. Otherwise he might already be captured.

If The Seal of Samsara wakes up at all costs, the Invincible Blade might very well help. After all, nobody knows if its Devil Buddha's imprints disappeared or not.

And so many big shots and powerful men in this world are not very willing to see Devil Buddha end up happily ever after. They will help if The Seal of Samsara tries to trap me.
