"Six Paths." The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni softly uttered these two words.
Within Xu Qing's heart, waves of shock surged.
Because the Rainbow Transformation Escape Technique he learned at Kuafu Cave Heaven was precisely left behind by the "Six Paths."
He gazed deeply at the other party: "Who actually is this Six Paths? Why would they be an old acquaintance of the Buddha?"
The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni smiled and said, "Six Paths is simply Six Paths."
"You're not Shakyamuni at all, are you?" Xu Qing suddenly uttered a completely unrelated question.
The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni looked surprised, then quickly calmed down, "I thought your aptitude was mediocre, yet your spiritual sense is so sharp. Indeed, I am not the real Shakyamuni, but here, I am..."
"Here? Are you referring to the Pure Yang Realm, or the entire Taixu Universe?" Xu Qing further inquired.
Shakyamuni calmly replied, "It naturally refers to the entire Taixu Universe."
Xu Qing: "Are you Shakyamuni's projection in the Taixu Universe?"
Upon speaking, his heart was even more turbulent.
Could it be that Shakyamuni, who opposed the Taixu Universe and the Four Great Daoist Sects, is merely an illusionary shadow in front of him.
So from the beginning to the end, Shakyamuni never had a real presence in the Taixu Universe.
Then just how terrifying is the real Shakyamuni?
Xu Qing could no longer imagine it; this was beyond his current understanding.
Shakyamuni could not help but smile: "Your knowledge remains confined by mundane limitations."
Xu Qing: "Please enlighten me, Buddha."
He was very sincere, acknowledging what he knew and admitting what he did not.
When it was time to ask, he was always humble.
The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni: "Do you think that having a higher realm and stronger mana means one should utterly suppress those of a lower level?"
"Is it not so?"
"It is correct, but not entirely." The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni smiled slightly.
Xu Qing contemplated and said: "I believe that even if someone stronger suffers a setback against someone weaker, as long as they reflect and ponder over it, they would never repeat the same mistake when they meet again."
It's like the conflicts between two great nations, where there can be local victories and defeats, but in the end, it's about national strength.
Of course, the premise is that both countries are at the same development stage.
One rapidly rising, and an old great empire, naturally, are different again.
The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni: "Your words also have reason. I was indeed narrow-minded."
Xu Qing: "Buddha would actually admit being wrong?"
The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni gently said: "Even the true form of Shakyamuni would admit to being wrong."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qing couldn't help but bow.
At this very moment, he genuinely recognized the broad-mindedness of Shakyamuni as a Daoist. He didn't acknowledge the other's dao, but rather their attitude towards dao.
The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni added: "Admitting error doesn't mean change. Have you not heard, slandering the Buddha is also a sin."
Xu Qing: "If it were me, I would do the same."
The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni laughed: "In the Taixu Universe, I've seen many people; although your aptitude is mediocre, you certainly have more luck than some Da Luo and Taiyi."
Xu Qing: "I thought the Buddha would praise me as unique, but it turns out to be merely good luck."
The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni freely said: "You will understand, luck surpasses any virtue."
Xu Qing: "When the Buddha says this, it should not just be a compliment to me."
The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni: "Indeed, otherwise I would not have returned. I happen to have a task that needs someone with good luck to help."
"What task?"
"To go to a place and help me find something."
"Is this thing related to Six Paths?" Xu Qing instantly reacted.
The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni: "It is called the Book of Life and Death."
Xu Qing: "Does such a thing as the Book of Life and Death truly exist?"
"It exists, and it's in the hands of Six Paths." The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni's expression was calm.
Xu Qing's demeanor became even more cautious: "How can the Buddha be sure I can find it, just because I'm lucky?"
The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni: "Don't ask so much, just the question of whether you will go or not?"
"I won't go." Xu Qing immediately shook his head.
The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni smiled mysteriously: "You will go."
Xu Qing wanted to say something more, but he only saw a gust of wind blowing, raising dust and sand. The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni turned into a lotus flower, swirling in the dust, quickly vanishing without a trace, as if it had never appeared.
He watched and could not help but shake his head.
After this event, Xu Qing profoundly realized that the illusory shadow of Shakyamuni is definitely setting up a grand scheme, and the entire Taixu Universe is embroiled in it.
"Alai, what exactly are you planning?" Xu Qing now daringly called out Buddha's nickname in his heart!
He then thought of the Book of Life and Death.
The Book of Life and Death records and governs the life and death of all beings in the world, akin to the abbreviation of destiny.
This alone is enough to demonstrate the value of the Book of Life and Death.
"Six Paths, from the interpretation of its name, must be related to reincarnation; reincarnation and the Book of Life and Death are, of course, inseparable. The illusory shadow of Shakyamuni sought me out, probably because I have a karmic connection with Six Paths, after all, I learned the Rainbow Transformation from Six Paths. And the injury suffered by the illusory shadow of Shakyamuni from Six Paths must be related to the contest for the Book of Life and Death. Just what is this Six Paths that it can wound the illusory shadow of Shakyamuni?"
Xu Qing understood well, even if it's just a projection, given the nature of the illusory shadow of Shakyamuni, it's definitely much stronger than ordinary Da Luo and Taiyi, even on par with top-tier Da Luo and Taiyi.
To injure such an existence, it's hard to imagine what kind of power the other side possesses, or perhaps what kind of treasures they have.
Xu Qing couldn't help but have a headache.
Since the illusory shadow of Shakyamuni said he would go find it, it is enough to foresee that something is bound to happen next.
Xu Qing looked at the bronze mirror, the Immortal Dynasty's Calamity Year still existed.
