I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1250 - 476: Ji, You’re So Beautiful! Farewell, Empress Baby!

Qi Chengze swallowed hard, his voice dry as he said, "What did you say? No Desire Buddha?"

Ling Ningzhi nodded and said, "That secret realm is actually an ancient battlefield from the war between humans and demons. The Buddha, Daoist Ancestor, Martial Saint, and other Ancient Emperors all fell there. No Desire Buddha, mastering the path of reincarnation, sent the origin of his Buddha nature to Jiu Zhou before his death, plotting for a thousand years to fully resurrect."

Ancient battlefield?

Ancient Emperor resurrection?

The information was overwhelming, leaving both Qi Chengze and Ling Yishan stunned and unable to react immediately.

Both had crossed paths with that monk "Huineng," whose unpredictable methods and strength were comparable to a half-step Supreme, not merely the chief of the Buddhist Sect.

Ling Yishan sensed a familiar aura from him, initially thinking he was Xuan Kong, the former head of Wuwan Temple known as the "Reincarnated Buddha," who was rumored to have passed away but actually survived using a disciple’s body...

Unexpectedly, he was one of the founders of the Three Saint Sect, a true Buddhist path Strongest!

"No wonder..."

"Over the years, many geniuses have emerged from Wuwan Temple, but most had short lives, either dying from illness or losing sanity, with even the sect leaders living no longer than 120 years, and one quickly succeeding another after death..."

Ling Yishan squinted slightly and said, "So they have been the same person all along? Because the physical body couldn’t bear the Divine Soul, they needed to constantly change bodies."

Qi Chengze stroked his beard, contemplating, "This also explains why they dared to take such a huge risk to enter the Capital City to seize Dragon Qi. It seems it was also to prepare for ’resurrection.’

Today’s world is vastly different from a thousand years ago, with the shackles of the Great Dao deepening, causing anyone who touches the Origin to pay a heavy price.

With Dragon Qi, though, they could avoid Heavenly Dao’s detection. By then, No Desire Buddha, wielding the Power of Reincarnation, would become the strongest of the time, with no match!

"Wait, but what does all this have to do with His Majesty?" Qi Chengze frowned, "Did His Majesty know this all along and hence sent Wei Xuan to Qing Province?"

"Actually..."

Ling Ningzhi hesitated, seemed to want to say something but stopped.

Ling Yishan noticed and cleared his throat, "Ahem, there’s no outsider here, it’s okay to speak."

Ling Ningzhi nodded and said, "Actually, the world itself was set up with an Array in advance, with the purpose of..."

She revealed everything they had experienced in the secret realm.

Upon hearing of the sun and moon sharing the sky, resurrected corpses, and even top figures like Chu Yanli almost being refined...Ling Yishan and Qi Chengze were full of shock!

All the previously inexplicable doubts now connected!

Why was Chu Heng able to set explosives under a heavily guarded ancestral temple without being noticed; why did Huineng seem to predict everything, breaking in when Demon Suppression Department’s defenses were weakest; why did Ling Yishan need a Golden Core to extend his life, and the Daoist Venerable just happened to calculate the presence of Five Elements Immortal Materials in the secret realm...

It turned out there were clues all along!

Even No Desire Buddha was nothing more than a pawn!

"So His Majesty sending Wei Xuan to Qing Province was actually to re..." Qi Chengze stopped mid-sentence, a chill creeping up his back.

"I’m still confused about one thing." Ling Yishan said deeply, "If what you said is true, and even the Princess couldn’t withstand it, how did Chen Mo kill No Desire Buddha and also lead you all in breaking the formation?"

Ling Ningzhi scratched her head, "I’m not entirely sure, but Mr. Chen seemed like a different person at that time, wielding an overwhelming green light, his power was unbelievably strong..."

"Right, I also heard No Desire Buddha shouting something like ’Returning Ruins’ before dying..."

Ling Yishan and Qi Chengze exchanged a look, both shuddering in unison.

No wonder His Majesty’s flawless plans ended in failure, it turned out the Empress had intervened!

"Even a Great Power transcending the shackles of the Emperor Realm wasn’t her match?" Qi Chengze felt tension in his heart and looked at Ling Yishan, asking, "Old fellow, what do you plan to do next?"

Ling Yishan gripped the armrest tightly, his gaze dark, gritting his teeth, "I had resigned myself, but it was utterly unacceptable for him to target Zhi’er! There must be an outcome for this, or I won’t die in peace!"

If not for Chen Mo’s presence, Ling Ningzhi might have already died and vanished!

This action thoroughly provoked Ling Yishan’s fury!

Qi Chengze frowned deeply at these words.

Ling Yishan shook his head, "Don’t worry, just pretend you never came today, anything that happens next has nothing to do with you."

"Heh..." Qi Chengze sneered, "You’re saying it lightly, knowing well that I can’t escape it anymore."

Since he divined Chen Mo’s fate at the Observatory, he had become deeply entangled, unable to extricate himself.

"On another note, the Eightfold Exorcism Array was arranged by the Buddha and the court together."

"When I fought Monk Huineng, he mentioned Wuwan Temple only participated in constructing seven sets of arrays, no one knew the purpose of the final one. I thought he said that to confuse me on purpose..."

"Now it seems a great secret may lie hidden within."

Qi Chengze rubbed his chin with his finger, speaking in a low voice.

Ling Yishan’s eyes flickered; the grand array was too complex, intricately nested, airtight, even with Chen Mo’s help in finding the Array Hub, it couldn’t be cracked quickly.

Moreover, in his current state, he simply couldn’t hold on for that long.
