I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Li Anran had doubts a long time ago. Pangu was the first creature conceived by Qinglian, so where did the three thousand demon gods who besieged him come from?

Now it seems that these three thousand gods and demons are actually the strong men of the last era!

"If I hadn't traveled through time, Tathagata and the others would have been able to break through the effect of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, open this time and space tunnel, and become the three thousand demon gods of the next era! It would be a little later at most!"

"Daozu Hongjun is really good at it! He actually laid out such a big game of chess across so many years! The stakes are high! It's amazing!"

Li Anran couldn't help but sigh.

Taoist Hongjun joined the way of heaven and could no longer interfere in the affairs of humanity, but before he joined the way, he left behind this ray of Hongmeng purple energy as a back-up!

If you lose, just lift the table, repeat the game of earth, water, fire, wind, and open up the world again. It is really unreasonable, but it does turn the situation around!

"No wonder Taoist Hongjun loves Master Tongtian the most. The master and disciple are really carved from the same mold!"

"It's no wonder that he wants to take the Six Saints to leave the Three Realms. If the Six Saints are still there, this Pangu is no match at all!"

Just as Li Anran was thinking about it, a ripple suddenly surged in the void beside him, but it was Yang Jian who noticed the movement in Tianlao and hurried over.

"The Tathagata has penetrated the Hongmeng Purple Qi and opened a space-time tunnel."

Li Anran had just checked the life experiences of the great powers in the Book of Punishment, and knew the whole story, and said: "It can lead to the chaotic world before the creation of the sky."

"what?!"

Yang Jian was shocked. He also knew that all the powerful people in Tianlao could understand the Hongmeng Purple Qi, but he did not expect that this Hongmeng Purple Qi could reverse time and space, span endless years, and reach before the beginning of the sky.

Yang Jian hurriedly opened his eyes and looked inside.

I saw a burly giant standing on a green lotus, waving a giant ax vigorously.

Countless golden talismans surrounded it, and the earth, water, fire and wind raging around it were instantly dispersed, and the whole chaos began to tremble violently.

The terrifying power, even if it was a world away, sent chills down Yang Jian's spine, and he instinctively wanted to hide away.

This is especially true for those ancient powerful men who face the Sky-Opening Ax directly!

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Seeing that the situation was not good, all the ancient powers used their own methods to escape into the distance, but soon they realized that something was wrong!

This seemingly casual ax actually broke through time and space and struck them, making them unable to hide or escape!

In desperation, they could only bite the bullet and use the body protection magic weapon.

However, the power of the Sky-Opening Ax far exceeded their imagination!

boom! boom! boom! boom!

In just an instant, nearly a hundred powerful body-protecting magic weapons were chopped into pieces, and he followed closely behind, disappearing into ashes and disappearing.

These former guests of Zixiao Palace and powerful men who had traversed the three realms for countless years were like ants with their arms used as chariots. They were crushed in an instant, leaving only the insights of the avenue that they had carefully polished for countless years. They turned into flowing light and merged into the jade dish of creation. Among them, it turned into stripes, indicating that they once existed.

"It's over! We're dead! We can't be God Pangu's opponent!"

There was an ancient great master who couldn't accept that he died like an ant. His Taoist heart collapsed. He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy with his spiritual consciousness: "Great God Pangu, I already know my mistake! Please, spare me this..."

boom!

The sky-opening ax swept across, the fluctuations in consciousness stopped abruptly, and the body was shattered into ashes.

Pangu had just been born from the Green Lotus of Creation, and his heart was still blank. He had no concept of anything, including himself, let alone understanding the complicated contents of admitting his mistake and sparing his life.

He just felt the threat of evil thoughts and greed from these ancient powerful people, and instinctively picked up the sky-opening ax at his side to fight back.

The reaction of the powerful ones was not within his scope of consideration!

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

The sky-opening ax continued to be swung, and in just a few breaths, most of the three thousand demon gods had fallen.

However, those who remain are the strongest among the strong!

"Fellow Taoists, we have no way out now. We can only get a chance by joining forces!"

The Tathagata is sitting cross-legged on the golden lotus of merit and virtue. On the left side are six pure bamboos with green and crystal clear colors. On the right side are green lotus flags swaying gently. Behind him are six-foot-long golden Buddha's light. In the Buddha's light, there are thousands of phantoms of Buddha, Bodhisattva and novice monks.

"It's up to you to become a saint or to die, right now!" Taiyi Tianzun responded loudly.

He holds the Three Jewels Ruyi in his left hand, and the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield in his right hand. The lights of Yuxu Palace behind him are shining brightly, and the good and evil corpses on the left and right sides also appear. They are holding whisks or glass bottles, and they are already full of firepower. .

The Holy Mother Wudang also nodded slightly, took out the Qingping Sword and other magic weapons, and shouted loudly: "Isn't it that we have been working hard for thousands of years just to attain enlightenment and become a saint? Now, the opportunity to attain enlightenment is right in front of us, how can we shrink back? Shrink, give up! Kill!"

Most of the remaining powerful disciples were Xuanmen and Buddhist disciples. As soon as the three of them spoke, the rest of the people shouted loudly: "Kill!"

Suddenly, Wudang Shengsheng, Zhao Gongming, Sanxiao, Chi Jingjing, Yuding Zhenren... each took out their magic weapons and hit Pangu.

In an instant, the sky was filled with brilliance, thousands of strange phenomena came and went, and the terrifying momentum suppressed even the Sky-Opening Ax.

However, this suppression is just an illusion!

Pangu, as the first living being in this world born from the Creation Green Lotus, was born with a strength that was close to that of a saint. Combined with the innate treasure Sky-opening Ax that was transformed from the lotus seed fragments, his strength was already comparable to that of a saint.

Although Tathagata and others have many magic weapons, some of them are highly cultivated, such as the Wudang Holy Mother, Taiyi Tianzun, and Tathagata. They have already beheaded two corpses, and they are already one step away from attaining enlightenment and becoming a saint.

However, this step is like a chasm, and there is a huge difference between the inside and outside!

Under the saints, all are ants!

Pangu stood up, standing on the Green Lotus of Creation, and swung the sky-opening ax fiercely. The ax blades surged out, and wherever they passed, the earth, water, fire, wind and even chaos itself were chopped into pieces.

Tathagata and other powerful experts joined forces, but they could barely maintain an undefeated situation.

In terms of defense, only top-quality innate spiritual treasures such as Qingping Sword, Sanbaoyu Ruyi, Hunyuan Jindou, Hetu Luoshu, and Haotian Mirror can block the attack of Xiatian Ax.

Ordinary innate spiritual treasures such as golden dragon scissors, yin-yang mirrors, dragon-hiding stakes, and male and female swords were directly knocked out as soon as they came into contact, their light was dim, and they even broke on the spot.

Their owners were either mentally traumatized or vomiting blood, and were knocked upside down by the shock.

If Pangu hadn't wielded the Sky-Opening Ax, which opened up the world of chaos a lot, and Taiyi Tianzun, Wudang Holy Mother, Tathagata and others came to rescue them and used many elixirs and spiritual fruits to heal their injuries, they would have died on the spot. .

In terms of attack, the twelve ancestral witches transformed by Pangu's essence and blood can resist innate magic weapons with their physical bodies, and Pangu is even more needless to say!

Qingping Sword, Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, Hunyuan Golden Dou, Six Pure Bamboo... These top-quality innate spiritual treasures were all hit on Pangu, but they only caused Pangu to stagger a few steps and suffer a little skin injury. In an instant, he was back to his original state. Can't cause effective damage.

As for those ordinary innate magic weapons, the effect is even worse. Not only can they not break through Pangu's defense, they will also damage himself.

"Huh? This time and space tunnel has become bigger!"

At this moment, Li Anran suddenly noticed that as Pangu wielded the giant axe, the world opened up in the chaos became larger and larger, and the space-time vortex in front of him also expanded a bit, and everything touched by the space-time tunnel They were all sucked into the chaos and became part of it.

If things continue like this...

No, it should be said that when Pangu created the world, it would be the day when the Three Realms were swallowed up!

"The calamity of the end of the Dharma, so that's it!" Li Anran suddenly realized with a flash of inspiration in his head.

He originally thought that the battle between humanity and heaven would be a catastrophe at the end of the Dharma.

Humanity will prevail, all laws will be silenced, and the destiny-determined merits, fortune, luck, etc. that cultivators pursued in the past will no longer exist, and everything in the world will be determined by the living beings themselves.

When Heaven prevails and humanity dies, everything will become a puppet of Heaven, just like a shadow puppet show. It can only be performed according to the established plot and cannot be changed at all.

It wasn't until he saw the scene in front of him that he realized that this was not the case!

The decisive battle between humanity and heaven is not in the Three Realms, but in this Hongmeng Purple Qi, before the creation of the world!

Before Taoist ancestor Hongjun combined his body with Taoism, he used Hongmeng purple energy as a guide and used his great supernatural power to break the boundaries between the past and the future, connecting the past and the future together, forming an endless reincarnation.

All living beings, whether they are ancient powers or mortal beasts, are just chess pieces, puppets on strings, performing their own roles under the control of heaven!

So……

Where is the saint?

The saints say that they have endured thousands of tribulations without being tainted by cause and effect, are neither born nor destroyed, and transcend time and space. However, they use the Hongmeng Purple Qi given by Patriarch Hongjun as the basis for enlightenment, and they can really get rid of Hongjun Daozu. control?

"Where's me? Where's the Book of Punishment?"

Li Anran thought of himself and the Book of Punishment again.

The entire Three Realms are a chessboard controlled by Daozu Hongjun, so what is he? What is the Book of Punishment that can check a person's past experiences, obtain experience rewards, and easily make him a saint?

variable?

Or is it a self-inflicted variable?

As Li Anran's thoughts turned, the battle was still going on on the other side of the time and space tunnel.

After realizing the huge gap between the two sides, Zhao Gongming, Chizhong, Huanglong, Zhenren Guanyin and Samantabhadra no longer thought about attacking. Instead, they began to use various magic powers to entangle Pangu, giving Tathagata, Taiyi Tianzun, and Wudang Holy Mother The strongest ones create opportunities.

This tactic is very effective!

However, as the fight between the two sides continued, Pangu's fighting skills improved rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the balance of victory and defeat quickly tilted towards Pangu.

Li Anran had previously thought that with or without him as a time traveler, Tathagata and the others would understand the secret of the Hongmeng Purple Qi and step into this reincarnation, at most at night!

In fact, this is not the case at all!

His influence was far greater than he imagined!

Because of his existence, Jiejiao lost the Chaos Bell, Chanjiao lost the Zhuxian Four Swords and Wuji Xinghuang Banner, Lingshan lost the Sixth Soul Banner and the Twelfth-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, and their strength was greatly reduced.

In the original prehistoric history, Pangu went through great hardships to kill all three thousand demon gods. As a result, he was seriously injured and even died of exhaustion when he created the world.

But now, obviously that won’t be the case!

"Fate...variables..." Li Anran chewed over and over again.

Two simple words, yet so wonderful.

As long as he didn't take action, or even be more ruthless, and help Pangu deal with Tathagata and the others, Pangu would not be dead!

In this way, reincarnation will be broken!

He can hide and survive with the help of the Chaos Bell and the Immortal Killing Formation. Even Pangu may not be able to find him or kill him!

After the world reopens, he can still search for a lot of innate magic weapons and innate spiritual roots according to the lives he has browsed, and imprison a lot of innate beings, so that he can easily attain enlightenment and become a saint!

In the future, he may not be weaker than Daozu Hongjun!

According to this, he is the biggest variable!

but--

Can he stand by and watch?

Allowing Pangu to kill three thousand gods and demons to create the world would mean a repeat of earth, water, fire, wind, and everything starting over again!

His friends and brothers, Yang Jian, Nezha, Monkey, Kang Boss... although they will still appear, they are no longer the brothers and friends he knew!

He helped Yang Jian make plans, and the Three Realms, which had already made great strides towards the flourishing development of the future cultivation world, would no longer exist!

Instead, there is a chaotic and primitive world.

Li Anran felt bored just thinking about it.

And if he takes action, it seems that he will be on the road to fate again. "Could it be that I was also involved in the last reincarnation? I made the decision to take action, which led to Pangu's serious injury and Kaitian's death?"

Li Anran didn't know the answer, but he knew what he wanted.

"Two..." Li Anran was about to speak when Yang Jian suddenly turned around and asked, "Brother Li Anran, I remember you said before that you are sure that you will become a saint within ten thousand years?"

Li Anran was startled for a moment, and instantly understood what Yang Jian meant. His heart warmed and his determination became stronger.

He saw the truth about the catastrophe of Dharma Ending, and Yang Jian naturally understood it too.

However, it is different from him who has a punishment book in hand and does not take the saint too seriously.

In Yang Jian's concept, saints are free from cause and effect and transcend everything. All living beings in the three realms are ants and pawns, but saints are not!

If Li Anran could attain enlightenment and become a saint, there would be no need to get involved in this muddy water!

The next reincarnation is when Li Anran shows off his talents!

"It was possible before, but not now!"

Li Anran saw the doubtful look on Yang Jian's face and said: "My chance lies in the prison, and in the prisoners in the prison. Now that the prison has been destroyed and all the prisoners have escaped, I want to attain enlightenment and become a saint, but I'm afraid... "

Just as he was talking, Li Anran suddenly noticed something he had been ignoring, and he became excited instantly: "Second brother, I have a way to kill Pangu and break the reincarnation!"

Yang Jian's eyes lit up: "What can I do?"

Li Anran: "Build the entire Three Realms into a big heavenly prison!"

The "Book of Punishment" means that as long as he participates in the arrest of criminals who are guilty of crimes and is imprisoned in the sky prison, they will be registered in the book and bring him a certain amount of income. There is no limit on the size of the prison!

What if he turns the entire Three Realms into a prison?

The experience value that one living being can provide cannot be compared with the ancient powers. What if there are tens of millions or trillions of them?

It would be impossible for others to do this, but Yang Jian is now the Emperor of Heaven who is in charge of the power of the three realms. He said that wherever the Heavenly Prison is, there is the Heavenly Prison!

"Is this really okay?"

Yang Jian had some doubts in his heart, but he did not hesitate in his actions. He immediately followed Li Anran's instructions and issued an imperial edict.

The Three Realms were renamed "Tian Lao", and 365 pillars reaching the sky were built to stand on the edge of the Three Realms. "Two words.

All the sentient beings in the three realms thought that Yang Jian was crazy. Only Li Anran looked at the book of punishments that was adding pages crazily, and the smile at the corner of his mouth kept growing, from a smile to a maniacal laugh.

"This is the struggle between humanity and heaven! It's not a few ancient gods and Buddhas, but all living beings in the three realms!"

The experience value in the Book of Punishment is increasing rapidly. In just thirteen years, the experience value that originally took tens of thousands of years to accumulate has been accumulated!

Li Anran didn't hesitate at all and put all his efforts into his cultivation.

The seventh level of Daluo Golden Immortal!

The eighth level of Daluo Golden Immortal!

The ninth level of Daluo Golden Immortal!

Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian! ! !

In just a few breaths, Li Anran crossed many hurdles that Daluo Jinxian could not overcome in his life.

In an instant, the entire three realms were filled with flowers falling from the sky, golden lotuses gushing from the ground, infinite fairy sounds, vast purple air coming from the east, dense purple air rising, and immeasurable rays of light lingering.

At this moment, the whole world became different from before. The once hazy avenue seemed to be covered by a layer of gauze, but now it was unreservedly displayed in front of our eyes, within reach.

"Meet the Saint!" Sensations from the three realms resonated and they all knelt on the ground and congratulated in unison.

Wu Tian, ​​Zhen Yuanzi, Hou Hou, Yang Jian, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Lu Ya, Ran Deng...the few who were still in the Three Realms, Daluo Jinxian, were also alerted by the movement and rushed to where Li Anran was in an instant.

Some are happy, some are envious, some are jealous...the expressions are different.

But in the end, they all turned into respect and saluted, "Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Li for attaining the Hunyuan Daluo Realm."

Li Anran raised his hand to help everyone up, only nodded slightly towards Yang Jian, and then disappeared outside the time and space tunnel.

In thirteen years, the hollow tunnel that was once half a meter in diameter has now expanded to a hundred miles in radius, and half of the Tianlao Star has been swallowed up.

If it weren't for the huge array of stars arranged by Li Anran outside Tianlao Star to cover it, the entire heaven would have been able to see this huge out-of-control tunnel.

Correspondingly, the chaotic world expanded to millions of miles in radius due to the battle between Pangu and a group of great powers.

The expansion of space also gives Tathagata and the others greater room for maneuver.

However, this little room for maneuver is nothing compared to the growth of Pangu's strength!

The number of ancient powerful men who died in Pangu's hands has exceeded two thousand!

Among them are even second-generation disciples of Xuanmen and Lingshan such as Bixiao, Huanglong Zhenren, Samantabhadra, and Medicine Buddha!

However, with the arrival of Li Anran, all this became no longer a matter of suspense!

Pangu's strength was comparable to that of a saint, but he was only comparable, not a true saint!

Li Anran is a real saint!

Pangu had the Sky-Opening Ax at his side, while Li Anran had the Chaos Bell, the Zhuxian Formation, the Wuji Xinghuang Banner, and many other innate treasures and top-quality innate spiritual treasures!

Pangu was physically powerful, and Li Anran was no less powerful!

Similar fighting methods, Li Anran has stronger cultivation, more methods, and richer experience.

This resulted in Li Anran suppressing Pangu almost the whole time during the fight between the two, but it was extremely difficult for him to kill Pangu.

However, Pangu was alone, and Li Anran had the entire Three Realms as his backing. His constant experience made his strength increase much faster than Pangu.

Coupled with the assistance of Tathagata and others, he destroyed Pangu to death after three hundred and seventy-two years of fierce fighting!

The powerful ones who were lucky enough to survive didn't care about breathing, and hurriedly flew towards Chuangshi Qinglian. The comrades who were fighting side by side just now were already facing each other with swords drawn.

At the same time, everyone was also staring at Li Anran.

Li Anran is the key to killing Pangu and is the strongest among them all. They are all worried that Li Anran will take it away.

However, what they didn't expect was that Li Anran just stood there quietly, with no intention of stepping forward.

While everyone was puzzled, they saw a crack appear on the Creation Green Lotus, and then it shattered with a "bang".

And this is just the beginning!

Click! Click! Click!

The Sky-Opening Axe, the Creation Jade Disc, the Lotus Seed... tiny cracks kept appearing.

"What's going on?" The faces of the great powers changed greatly, and they flew over desperately, trying to stop it.

But, not at all!

The cracks started from Chuangshi Qinglian and spread rapidly in all directions.

The chaotic world that was difficult to destroy even if they fought before was now as fragile as ice crystals. In just a blink of an eye, cracks spread throughout the chaotic world.

next second.

The entire chaotic world was shattered like a mirror, a flower in the water, and the moon, and disappeared without leaving any trace.

"Reincarnation has ended, the link between the past and reality has been broken, and the shadow of the past naturally no longer exists!"

Li Anran turned around and left the chaotic world that had turned from half-truth to falsehood. He was about to report the matter to Yang Jian when he suddenly stopped and turned around suddenly, his face changed drastically.

In the space-time tunnel that was about to dissipate, he saw a middle-aged Taoist wearing purple robes looking at him calmly.

Hongjun Daozu!

Li Anran's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was about to use the Chaos Bell with his backhand, but he saw Taoist Hongjun bowing to him.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for helping me to escape."

The voice fell.

The figure of Daozu Hongjun turned into a stream of light and crashed into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Looking at the book of punishment in the sea of ​​​​consciousness, it turned out to look like Yujue!

Astonishingly, it was a fragment of the jade dish of creation!

variable? Fixed number?

Time traveler? Or... a chess piece?

Li Anran was stunned.

"Brother Li Anran!"

"Brother Li!"

"Li Anran! Li Anran!"

"How's it going? Are you okay?"

A burst of shouting interrupted Li Anran's thoughts.

Following the sound, Yang Jian, Nezha, and San Shengsheng hurried in, with worried and concerned expressions on their faces.

Li Anran's tangled mood suddenly relaxed.

Compared with his previous life, he already has too much now!

Even if he is used as a pawn, why should he be dissatisfied?

If there is a conflict in the future, the worst thing is to do it!

"It's done! Let's go have a drink!" (End of Chapter)
