Cao Ya had long coveted the teachings of the Three Pure Ones.

The kind that is unique and can only be cultivated by one person, such as the [Dao Yi Seal] which symbolizes the "cause of all fruits", already belongs to Meng Qi. Cao Ya definitely cannot cultivate it, and he does not want to become the "cause of all fruits", to inherit the cause and effect of the Three Pure Ones, and to bear the burden of all heavens and myriad worlds.

However, aside from the first three seals of the other "Nine Seals of Primordial Beginning," which are comparable to the "Seven Swords of Heaven" and the "Buddha's Palm," Cao Ya was quite curious about the last six seals.

The "Buddha's Palm" technique he obtained only contained the general outline and the third form inherent to Shaolin.

However, his compatibility with the "Buddha's Palm" technique is actually not very good.

Not to mention that Cao Ya knew very well that Meng Qi, in addition to the "Nine Seals of the Primordial Beginning," also had mastered the "Seven Swords of Heaven's Interception" and the "Buddha's Palm."

Cao Ya coveted Dao Zun's "Seven Swords of Heaven Interception" the most!

Although he is a Buddhist disciple!

However, Taoism and Buddhism have never been obstacles to the cultivation of the Great Way. You should know that in ancient times, which of those celestial beings and Buddhas did not have several special incarnations?

Even the Primordial Celestial Venerable had the body of a Holy Buddha, and was introduced into Buddhism by the Ancient Buddha Bodhi.

His background as a Buddhist monk who switched to Taoism is hardly surprising.

In ancient and prehistoric times, there were countless people like him.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he must obtain the supreme Taoist techniques such as the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying and the Nine Seals of Primordial Beginning!

Without making some contribution, how could Cao Ya have the nerve to ask Meng Qi for this?

As the number one in the world, they should at least have some self-respect!

After all, he is Meng Qi's elder!

Most importantly, this kind of method involves profound implications. Without the entanglement of cause and effect, even if Cao Ya obtains it, he may have doubts and dare not cultivate it.

Who knows what the person behind the scenes is thinking?

After making a contribution, they felt at ease and no longer had to worry about anything.

After much thought, Cao Ya decided that he still had to interfere when Meng Qi and the others entered Ling Mountain!

Regardless of whether he offends the Demon Buddha now, given his Buddhist background, when the Demon Buddha escapes during the final tribulation, he will either achieve enlightenment himself and confront the Demon Buddha head-on, or he will seek out another being who has reached the other shore and seek refuge under their protection.

There is no other way!

Therefore, Cao Ya actually had a strong initiative to thwart the Demon Buddha's plan.

As for the other beings on the other side, he didn't want to provoke them, lest he become an enemy of the whole world and perhaps die a violent death one day.

The Demon Buddha's malice towards Buddhism destined him to be a natural enemy of the Demon Buddha!

This is something Cao Ya couldn't solve.

Who made the Demon Buddha a powerful figure in Buddhism who fell into demonic possession?

Ananda's previous identities, such as the Jade Emperor and the Ancient Thunder God, were etched in the Demon Buddha's mind, but that was all. His true strength came from the reversed version of the Tathagata Palm.

This led to the deepest malice that the Demon Buddha harbored towards Buddhism!

No changes allowed!

Unless you knock down the Demon Buddha's realm!

But who can knock down the realm of a being from the other shore?

Only the fruit of the Tao!

If Cao Ya were truly a Dao Fruit cultivator, how could he have knocked down the Demon Buddha's realm? He would have simply slapped the Demon Buddha to death!

Cao Ya made his stance clear and wasn't afraid of the Demon Buddha finding out.

Whether they knew it or not, once the Demon Buddha appeared, they would all kill him because of his identity, so what was there to worry about?

Moreover, Cao Ya knew very well that there was more than one Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and the other Lords of the Six Paths of Reincarnation would not be happy to see the Demon Buddha escape.

This is especially true for those who slumber on the other side.

The situation of the Demon Buddha is not only precarious now, but his future is also very uncertain.

For this reason, after much consideration, Cao Ya decided to take the initiative to participate. He could not only witness the demeanor of those on the other side, but also make a fortune for himself, take care of the younger generation, and properly resolve his future crisis. It was a win-win-win situation, so why not?

Meng Qi stared at Cao Ya, seeing the resolute attitude of his former senior master. Meng Qi pursed his lips, showing no emotion on his face, but he was deeply moved inside.

"Uncle-Master Xuanjie..." Meng Qi murmured, feeling that he must properly thank his uncle-master!

Jiang Zhiwei sighed inwardly, "The Undying Arhat is indeed a hero of the righteous path!"

Cao Ya, with his keen insight, sensed the emotions between the two and immediately chuckled to himself.

However, although he had his own hidden motives, there was indeed a genuine intention to help Meng Qi.

"Uncle-Master, your power..." Meng Qi suddenly spoke, but before he could finish, Cao Ya waved his hand to interrupt him.

Cao Ya laughed:

"Compared to that person, I am far inferior. However, that person is still trapped. I am still a celestial being, so I am not entirely without the strength to fight back."

"If even a celestial being can't do it, Meng Qi, there's no point in resisting anymore. You might as well just slit your throat."

Upon hearing this, Meng Qi couldn't help but laugh.

Indeed, if even celestial beings are no match, what merit or ability does he possess to resist the sealed demonic Buddha?

Even though he had mastered the Nine Seals of Primordial Beginning, as well as parts of the Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying and the Tathagata Palm, and had initially mastered the Dao One Seal, possessing the rudimentary form of the "cause of all fruits," his realm was still only at the peak of the Outer Realm, and he had not yet attained the Dharma Body.

Meng Qi knew that he probably wouldn't last more than two moves against his senior uncle Xuan Jie!

Well, thanks to the special nature of the "cause of all effects," I'm confident I can get through this in one move!

“It has some characteristics of the other shore…” Cao Ya gazed at it, sighed, and said, “If you can get through this calamity, Meng Qi, your future path will be the smoothest in the world.”

People like him, Mr. Lu, and Su Wuming, are already quite remarkable for possessing even a hint of legendary characteristics.

Compared to Meng Qi, who has some characteristics of the other shore, he is far inferior.

Even though Meng Qi's current cultivation level is inferior to the three of them!

Legend has it that countless powerful beings in ancient times perished on this long and arduous journey to the other shore.

Even among those who followed the path of the other shore, quite a few perished.

"Uncle-Master, you flatter me. I only received such great benefits through various fortuitous encounters," Meng Qi said with a wry smile.

He was a reincarnator who had left the real world and, under the control of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, traveled to various worlds, including the Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West. He also entered the Jade Void Palace, saw his body from before his transmigration to Earth, and noticed some of Yang Jian's actions, learning many secrets.

Otherwise, how could he have perceived the cause and effect behind himself and discovered the existence and connection between the Demon Buddha, Ananda, and the Thunder God?

Taking on the "cause of all the effects" was Meng Qi's own choice. He felt no dissatisfaction, only that there was always a way out!

When someone is drowning, even a straw is precious, let alone an aircraft carrier!

Jiang Zhiwei frowned slightly, lost in thought as she recalled some things her master, Su Wuming, had mentioned to her.

Cao Ya flicked his finger, and a stream of light flew out, landing on Meng Qi.

Then, Cao Ya left, tore through the void, returned to Shaolin, and turned back into a single strand of hair.

Inside the dilapidated temple, Jiang Zhiwei turned and left, her sword disappearing into the sky.

In the end, only Meng Qi remained, sitting cross-legged by the pond inside the dilapidated temple, gazing at the beautiful lotus flowers in a daze.
