Chapter 934: Never Mind Him 3

Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators

Dream-Making Expert

Thousand-Mile Eye was gone.

No.

To be precise, Thousand-Mile Eye had been refreshed and reset.

Though such a way of putting it was utterly absurd.

But at this moment, the Thousand-Mile Eye before his eyes gave Lin Qi exactly that feeling.

Thousand-Mile Eye was still alive, yet Thousand-Mile Eye was already gone.

Gone was the irritable rage from before, the unruliness that dared to curse him as a fool through a voice transmission.

Also gone was that oppression and fear from before, as if he knew the terrifying truth of This Realm, in Mortal Peril.

Thousand-Mile Eye had become the true Thousand-Mile Eye.

That minor immortal who appeared in Journey to the West for only a few brief lines.

Who did not even rank in the Heavenly Court.

What exactly had happened just now?

Lin Qi didn't know, but he had sensed the terror.

Fortunately, he took things calmly. He had long since reached the point where Mount Tai could collapse before him without him changing expression.

Otherwise.

Lin Qi had no doubt that the power which had, in that formless and shapeless instant, refreshed and reset Thousand-Mile Eye.

Could equally refresh and reset him.

Or rather, make him forget all memories of the original Thousand-Mile Eye.

This kind of power.

Lin Qi was inwardly astonished, realizing just how deep the waters of This Realm, in Mortal Peril, truly ran. It was probably absolutely not merely a reenactment of Journey to the West.

Was it because of that monkey?

Lin Qi was full of worry, but without showing it, he dismissed the Thousand-Mile Eye who currently wore a pure and innocent, muddled expression.

He returned before Yuyao and waved his hand.

Signaling Yuyao not to ask anything yet, his gaze turned toward the Water Mirror.

Within the Water Mirror.

The Lin Feng that the Demon Buddha had sent to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit had already lurked into position, using the art of a thousand transformations to blend into the monkey troop.

The Demon Buddha wore an expression of eager anticipation, waiting for Lin Qi's command.

Then he could have Lin Feng act at once, destroy the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit, and strangle the Stone Monkey in the cradle.

Yes.

Previously, Lin Qi had on the surface ordered the Demon Buddha to kill the newborn Stone Monkey, but in reality, he had secretly given a different order.

He had the Demon Buddha first send troops to lurk, awaiting his command.

It was just such a simple fishing tactic.

Originally, with Thousand-Mile Eye's divine ability, he should have grasped the situation very quickly.

But the previous Thousand-Mile Eye had been too nervous, and too terrified.

He felt as if his reason had been completely clouded by fear.

He did not even have the patience to distinguish and examine such a simple fishing tactic, and under fear, he wildly ranted at Lin Qi.

That let Lin Qi find Thousand-Mile Eye.

But it seemed it had also harmed Thousand-Mile Eye.

Lin Qi found it somewhat strange. After all, the reason Thousand-Mile Eye had originally blocked him through voice transmission was precisely to stop him from going to kill the Stone Monkey.

So then, was it killing the Stone Monkey that was bad for Thousand-Mile Eye, or not killing the Stone Monkey that was bad for Thousand-Mile Eye?

Or is it because I didn't kill the Stone Monkey in time, and that's what caused him to be exposed?

Lin Qi pondered, and felt this should be the case.

Unfortunately, there was no way to confirm it with Thousand-Mile Eye anymore.

Because he had already confirmed it. The current Thousand-Mile Eye could only babble "aba aba" and knew nothing at all.

Forget it.

There's no need to obsess too much over Thousand-Mile Eye.

The Heavenly Court is so vast. There shouldn't be only one Thousand-Mile Eye who knows the truth.

I'll secretly probe and search for other Immortals and Gods.

No.

Perhaps there's no need to search for other Immortals and Gods who know the truth.

Perhaps I only need to kill the Stone Monkey one more time to glimpse the truth.

An idea sparked in Lin Qi's mind, and he thought of the Divine Spell of Retrospection that Thousand-Mile Eye had previously transmitted to him.

He hesitated briefly.

Then he addressed the Demon Buddha, who was staring at him eagerly, waiting for the order to execute the Stone Monkey, "Go. Kill the Stone Monkey."

The Demon Buddha received the order and felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

He immediately, without a shred of hesitation, ordered Lin Feng, who was lurking among the monkey troop, to act.

Lin Feng instantly became like an emotionless killer, blade rising and falling.

One move. Just one move.

The Mountain of Flowers and Fruit was, once again and yet again, gone.

The Stone Monkey died, and heaven and earth…

"This subject receives the imperial decree to observe and listen to the place of golden light."

"It is within the borders of the small country of Aolai, east of the sea in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent. There is a Mountain of Flowers and Fruit. On the mountain is a divine stone. The stone bore an egg, which, upon exposure to wind, transformed into a Stone Monkey…"

A familiar voice sounded.

Lin Qi felt as if he had woken from a nightmare, his back drenched in cold sweat, and the shock and fury in his heart had reached its extreme.

But he did not show it, suppressing the fright and rage in his heart.

He quietly waited for Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Accompanying Ear to finish their report.

Only then did he calmly and composedly finish speaking his own lines.

Then he paused for a brief moment.

He did not hear any warning voice transmission from Thousand-Mile Eye, nor from anyone else.

Only then did he, expressionless, signal Yuyao to accompany him toward the Cloud Sea, which he had visited who knew how many times.

"You seem to be in a heavy mood."

Yuyao was perceptive, and sensed the surging undercurrents beneath Lin Qi's calm expression. She asked through voice transmission.

Lin Qi did not explain. He merely silently transmitted the Divine Spell of Retrospection to Yuyao, ordered Yuyao to secretly cultivate it.

Only then did he let out a long breath of turbid air, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

He understood. He understood completely.

The terrifying truth about This Realm, in Mortal Peril.

The Divine Spell of Retrospection. World Rewind.

No wonder he had felt earlier that Thousand-Mile Eye was as if refreshed and reset.

So this Cosmos really would refresh and reset.

And if he was not mistaken.

The key that would cause the entire Cosmos to refresh and reset, for everything to rewind, lay with the Stone Monkey on the Mountain of Flowers and Fruit.

Was this the Stone Monkey's golden finger, or a cheat granted to the Stone Monkey by the Buddhist order.

Similar to the Life Rewind Simulator?

Unable to clear the stage, so it could rewind and start over, again and again?

Making all things in the Cosmos, the countless Immortals and Gods, accompany that Stone Monkey in playing out the perfect ending under the script of Journey to the West?

Such an absurd and exaggerated cheat.

Did the Stone Monkey already have it before they arrived?

Or did the Stone Monkey only obtain it after they arrived?

This was very important.

Because the former meant that this Cosmos's Stone Monkey was itself very important.

Important enough that the Buddhist order would bring out an entire Cosmos to play along with him.

And if it was the latter.

What did the Buddhist order want?

To use this method to trap them in this Cosmos that would endlessly rewind and reset.

To tame him with an infinite loop at the level of the Heavenly Dao?

Lin Qi's mood was heavy, various conjectures surfacing in his mind one by one.

He was grasping. He was deducing.

But he did not choose to immediately transmit to Yuyao the truth he had glimpsed about this Cosmos.

He merely pondered while quietly waiting for the Demon Buddha's contact.

And the Demon Buddha's contact arrived as expected.

Lin Qi was calm and composed, quietly listening to the Demon Buddha's words, which he too had spoken who knew how many times.

Only then did he, under the Demon Buddha's expectant gaze, say, word by word.

"No need to bother with him."

"Huh?"

The Demon Buddha was stunned, somewhat unable to accept it. He wanted to persuade Lin Qi not to truly follow the Immortals and Gods of This Realm in reenacting Journey to the West.

But Lin Qi was already resolute, repeating once more.

"This Venerable said, no need to bother with him. Do you not understand?"

Facing Lin Qi's obstruction, the Demon Buddha dared to be angry but not to speak. He simply cut off the contact directly.

The contact with the Demon Buddha was severed.

But Lin Qi did not feel as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

His back went cold. His hair stood on end.

Because he had sensed that terrifying power.

It was that terrifying power which had refreshed and reset Thousand-Mile Eye.

At this moment, it had already descended upon him.

Impossible to resist. Impossible to block.

Because this was true might from the complete Heavenly Dao of an entire Cosmos, even carrying a hint of Dao-Sacrifice's aura.

It made the Heavenly Emperor's Treasured Art, which Lin Qi was circulating at full power, instantly stagnate.

A wisp of paleness flashed through his eyes. After a moment of dazed distraction.

He softly said to Yuyao.

"Do you still remember how we came to this place?"
