Erlang Shen glared angrily. He wasn't lying; he truly had countless methods. However, these methods were completely ineffective against Lin Qing, who lived 1,700 years ago.
"Then go ahead and try. I'll be standing right here." Lin Qing revealed a charming smile.
Ninety-nine percent of those present were bald, completely immune to Lin Qing's irresistible smile.
"Hmph! Behold my Heavenly Eye!" Erlang Shen's third eye was activated to its fullest extent, and then he looked directly at Lin Qing.
Erlang Shen believed that as long as one was still within the Six Realms, no one could escape his third eye.
"Well? Did you find it?" After waiting for a minute or so, Lin Qing asked with a smile.
"Impossible, impossible, why isn't it here? I can't find your true form anywhere in the Six Realms." Erlang Shen looked utterly incredulous.
"Not within the Six Realms?" Everyone gasped in shock.
If it's not within the Six Realms, then it must be in some void of chaos, and all the powerful beings who can enter there are at the Saint level.
Lin Qing is clearly not a saint-level expert; Guanyin Bodhisattva would never be wrong about this.
"Lin Qing is not at the saint level. At most, he was only at the peak of the Heavenly Immortal realm. I can guarantee that," Guanyin Bodhisattva said slowly, stopping her chanting.
Seeing this, the Buddha finally stopped acting like he was indifferent and started to deduce things.
After a long silence, the Buddha frowned slightly and said, "My deductions indicate that Lin Qing is in the human realm, specifically in Qingcheng Mountain, but I have not found him there."
"As expected of the Buddha, I admire you greatly." Lin Qing was truly impressed now. He never expected that the Buddha could have predicted that he was at Qingcheng Mountain.
"Qingcheng Mountain? No, I've searched everywhere and haven't found a single demon." Erlang Shen looked incredulous.
"Where exactly is it?" Zhenyuan Daxian was now in complete disarray.
"Amitabha, this is truly strange and perplexing," even the Buddha himself looked puzzled.
“Amitabha Buddha, if one is in the Six Realms but not in the Six Realms, then one can only exist in the past and the future,” a Buddha said slowly.
“Indeed,” another Buddha agreed.
Erlang Shen immediately recognized them and asked, "Dipankara Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, what do you mean by this?"
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is, Amitabha!" The Buddha immediately understood.
"Clap clap clap!" Lin Qing clapped his hands with a smile.
"As expected of a Saint-level expert, you even know about my past self. However, do you have a way to go back to the past as well?" Lin Qing said calmly.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, Lin Qing was only putting on an act; inside, he was panicking terribly.
"Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have left a clone. I should have left one to see how things went!"
Who knew that someone could actually see that his true form was from the past? Lin Qing never expected that. Now he can only take it one step at a time.
"Amitabha!" The three Buddhas, Tathagata, Dipankara, and Maitreya, immediately chanted the Buddha's name.
Immediately afterwards, all the Buddhas present, including Guanyin Bodhisattva, also recited a Buddha's name.
"Damn it, is there really no way?" Erlang Shen said in frustration.
"Phew!" Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they couldn't make it.
"Yes and no!" Ran Deng suddenly looked at Lin Qing and said slowly.
"So, this isn't the first time we've met, Randeng," Lin Qing suddenly blurted out, leaving everyone puzzled.
Then he burst into laughter: "Haha, it seems I've succeeded. Well then, everyone, goodbye!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Qing's clone slowly dissipated.
"What do you mean? What happened?" Zhenyuan Daxian was completely bewildered.
"Take your time." For some reason, Laozi, who had been impatient, suddenly became calm.
"Dipankara Buddha, what did that evil dragon mean by the two meetings and his success?"
The lamp-lighter softly said, "Amitabha."
Seventeen hundred years ago, Mount Qingcheng.
Inside a converted cave, Lin Qing was watching the Tom and Jerry cartoon with great interest.
[Ding! Main quest complete. Rewards have been issued. Please check them.]
"Haha, it's done. Let me see if it worked." Lin Qing immediately put away the computer and then opened the storage space.
"Wow, I'm rich! Haha!" Lin Qing was overjoyed as he looked at the peach tree, ginseng fruit tree, and bottles and jars of elixirs placed in the corner.
"And the purple grove trees, it looks like I've pulled them all out too, haha!" Lin Qing could already imagine Guanyin jumping up and down in frustration.
Chapter 509 The Giant Fortress (Happy New Year)
"Huh? Where's the token? Where's the Jade Emperor's token?" Lin Qing couldn't find the Jade Emperor's token in his storage space, which made him somewhat puzzled.
"It seems the Jade Emperor discovered it and took it back! But," Lin Qing was still thinking, if he had a token, should he go and loot it again at this point in time?
"Amitabha! Greetings, benefactor." Suddenly, an old monk appeared beside Lin Qing.
"Holy crap!" Lin Qing was startled by the sudden appearance of the old monk.
"Who are you?" Lin Qing quickly stepped back a distance, remaining on guard.
“Amitabha, everyone calls me Dipankara,” the old monk said kindly.
"Dilthanda Buddha??? May I ask what brings you here, venerable one?" Lin Qing was always ready to travel to the next world.
"Cause and effect, beginning and end, that is the way of cause and effect. We will meet again, benefactor." After saying this, Ran Deng disappeared.
Lin Qing was completely baffled. What was Randeng doing here? Did he know about the things he had done 1,700 years later?
"That's impossible, otherwise why would they just leave like that?" Lin Qing was truly baffled.
"Forget it, forget it, never mind, System, let's move on to the next world!" Lin Qing felt that this world was a bit unsafe, so it was best to leave first.
[Traveling to the next world will cost 1000 Evolution Points. Confirm your travel?]
"Let's travel through time!"
[Transmigration successful, current world is] After a long while, the system's voice finally rang in Lin Qing's ears.
However, Lin Qing didn't pay attention to what the system was saying, because the memories of the two clones appeared in Lin Qing's mind.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I see. It seems that Ran Deng knew back then, but he didn't stop me."
Although I don't know why Ran Deng didn't stop him or arrest him, he's no longer in that world now, so whatever happens, happens.
[Ding! System alarm notification: The incense power in the Mr. Zombie world has reached 10,000 points.]
"Wow, I've finally reached 10,000 points. Now I can sense that area." Lin Qing checked his surroundings and found no danger.
Then he sank directly into the ground, and finally tried to connect with his clone with his mind.
"I've sensed it, I can enter immediately." Lin Qing knew that he would successfully connect with his clone within ten seconds. 2042+30
[Warning, warning! The time flow in the Mr. Zombie world is abnormal.]
[Warning, warning! The time flow in the Mr. Zombie world is abnormal.]
[Warning, warning! The time flow in the Mr. Zombie world is abnormal.]
[Detection system started]
The test is complete. Due to interference from an unknown force, the time in this world is flowing exactly the same as the time in the host's location.
As these system voices rang in his mind, Lin Qing also successfully connected with his clone.
In that instant of success, Lin Qing's mind immediately entered the world of Mr. Zombie.
Mr. Zombie World, June 7, 2042.
This day is very important to people all over the country; it's the day of the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao).
However, there was no such atmosphere in the city; instead, it was filled with a somber and oppressive atmosphere.
This city is completely different from ordinary cities; it's more like a fortress than a city.
Furthermore, this fortress was incredibly vast, encompassing five towering mountains, and surrounded by massive walls made of an unknown material.
Above the fortress is a special energy protection device invisible to the naked eye, and a large number of high-tech reconnaissance aircraft come and go from time to time on the giant wall.
The most peculiar sights were those who flew on swords, flew by their own power, or wore mechs, constantly entering and leaving the fortress.
"Woo~~~Woo~~~!" An alarm suddenly sounded in the fortress.
"Everyone, return to the fortress immediately. All passages will be closed in ten minutes." This announcement echoed continuously throughout the fortress, and its sound could be heard for miles around.
Immediately, everyone began to rush towards the fortress like madmen, either flying, riding mechs, or turning into streaks of light.
Ten minutes later, outside the fortress, there was no living creature to be seen, only the reconnaissance drones.
Everywhere in this colossal fortress had been altered, except for one place, which was...
"Ten years have passed. Another ten years have gone by," a smart woman in a suit said with a sigh.
"Yes, it's been ten years, and it's another cataclysmic disaster. This is the third time already," a middle-aged man dressed in a Taoist robe sighed.
"Thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye. I don't know how much longer we can hold on," said another old man.
"Sect Leader Wang, Senior Liu, I believe there must be a way to defeat them," said a man who appeared to be a commander.
"Alright, now is not the time to talk about this. The meteorite will arrive in two hours. Let's head to the Dragon King Temple now!" The woman in the suit stood up from the main seat.
“Yes, Director Wang is right. Thank you all for your help.” The commander quickly stood up and said.
The woman in the suit then led a large group of people out of the conference room.
"Director Wang, please wait a moment. The aircraft will arrive in three minutes," the commander said to Director Wang and the other two.
"No need, I'll go first," said Sect Leader Wang, then ignored the hundreds of stories high and leaped lightly.
Before he could fall, a sword flew out of his body and appeared at his feet. He was flying on a sword.
"I'll go first." Although the old man didn't fly on a sword, he did ride a magical artifact and flew towards another modified mountain.
The commander said somewhat awkwardly, "Ah haha, um, Director Wang, you..." but in his heart he was thinking:
"I should have gone to cultivate too. Alas, I'm already over thirty and no one can take me on as a disciple. Joining Director Wang's side is too much of a loss. I'd better just focus on commanding my high-tech weapons."
