Chapter 1197 Mustard Seed Sumeru

"Do you know what mountain this is?" the antelope asked back while writing.

"I don't know." Zhou Wen had no idea what mountain this was. He had never been here before, and there was no monument at the foot of the mountain.

"It's terrible to be uneducated. Since you know that this is the heavenly way, haven't you even heard of Mount Sumeru?" The antelope showed a disdainful expression on his face.

"Is this Mount Sumeru? Then does the legendary Indra live on the top of this mountain?" Zhou Wen looked up in the direction of the top of the mountain, but still could not see the end.

"You're thinking too much, but that's not what you should be thinking about right now. Think about how to pick the fruit." The antelope continued, "Since you've heard of the word Xumi, you should know about the mustard seed Xumi."

"This... I don't seem to have noticed this word... What does mustard seed Sumeru mean?" Zhou Wen really hadn't paid attention to this knowledge. He had seen Mount Sumeru by chance when he was reading Buddhist scriptures before. He just read it as a story and didn't study it in detail.

The antelope was speechless and had to explain, "Mustard seed refers to an extremely small space, and Sumeru refers to Mount Sumeru. Mustard seed Sumeru means that an extremely small space can accommodate a mountain."

"Storage space?" Zhou Wen immediately thought of a word.

"That's about it. That's roughly what it means." Antelope nodded slightly.

"What does this have to do with that crooked tree?" Zhou Wen asked, looking at the tree again.

"That one is the mustard tree, and the fruit on it is mustard seeds," replied the antelope.

"The fruit is a mustard seed? Didn't you say that mustard seed means extremely tiny? Why is the fruit so big?" Zhou Wen was a little unconvinced.

"Who told you that the fruit was a mustard seed?" the antelope wrote with some disdain.

Zhou Wen was stunned at first, then he understood what the antelope meant. He stared at the fruit and said, "You mean, there are a lot of mustard seeds inside that fruit?"

"A mustard seed can contain a mountain like Mount Sumeru. There are so many mustard seeds in the fruit. If you reach out to pick them, you will immediately fall into the endless space and may not be able to escape in your lifetime."

"Then how do we take it off?" Zhou Wen asked.

"I don't know. If it were so easy to pick, it wouldn't be there now. Even a disaster-level creature might not be able to escape if it fell into that endless mustard seed space." said the antelope.

"What's the point of bringing us here if you don't even know how to pick them?" Zhou Wen frowned.

"Solutions are thought up by people. You are also a person. Can't you think of one?" Antelope rolled his eyes at him.

"I don't want that mustard fruit. I'm just here to look for someone. Why should I think about it? If you want it, find a way yourself." Zhou Wen ignored the antelope and prepared to go down the mountain.

Now it seems that Ouyang Lan did not come here at all, otherwise it would be impossible for them to leave no trace when passing by the Asura of Heaven.

Even if they had a way to avoid fighting with the Ashura of Heaven, they would have at least left some traces of using their skills, but as they walked along, there was nothing.

"If the bird eats those fruits, it will be promoted to the fear level." The antelope wrote calmly.

"The little bird is of the fire element, so if it wants to eat something, it should eat dragon fruit. Why would it eat mustard seeds, which obviously have spatial properties?" Zhou Wen felt that the antelope was simply trying to trick him into picking mustard seeds.

Antelope patiently explained, "It's true that the Phoenix is ​​a fire-type creature, but have you ever wondered why the Phoenix can constantly be reborn from the ashes, yet never truly die?"

"The phoenix is ​​reborn from the ashes, and they are naturally fire-related abilities. What's there to say?" Zhou Wen said.

"From this, it's clear that you don't understand the Phoenix at all. You're too shallow. Fire represents destruction and the end, but it also represents rebirth. However, the Phoenix's rebirth cannot rely solely on the new power of fire."

The antelope pointed to a mustard seed and continued, "One mustard seed is a mustard seed world. A thousand mustard seed worlds make a small world. A thousand small worlds make a medium world. A thousand medium worlds make a large world. The three thousand worlds also refer to the large world. Look at how many mustard seeds there are on that tree."

"Three." Zhou Wen glanced at the mustard tree and confirmed it before speaking.

"Three mustard seeds represent the Three Thousand Worlds. If the bird can swallow three mustard seeds, it will gain the spatial ability of the Three Thousand Worlds. Only then can it truly gain the ability to be reborn in Nirvana. As the saying goes, there is no fruit without roots in the world. If you want to be reborn in Nirvana, you must at least have the fire of rebirth. Only the bird that leaves the fire in the Three Thousand Worlds will have the possibility of being reborn in Nirvana in the future." Antelope wrote.

"Is that so?" Zhou Wen stared at the antelope, unable to tell for a moment whether the antelope was fooling him or telling the truth.

"Believe it or not, without the mustard fruit, it will take thousands of years for the bird to reach the fear level. That's if it's lucky enough. If you have patience, just wait." The antelope said and released its hoof that was pressing down on the bird.

The bird wanted to fly towards the mustard fruit, but was called back by Zhou Wen.

Judging from the bird's reaction, although what the antelope said may not be true, there is no doubt that the bird really wants the mustard fruit.

"How can we pick the mustard fruit? And even if we pick it, if there really are three thousand worlds inside it as you said, how can the bird eat it?" Zhou Wen looked at the antelope and asked.

"You need to figure out how to pick them, but you don't have to worry about eating them. Those three mustard fruits only represent the Three Thousand Worlds, but they are not the real Three Thousand Worlds. As long as you can pick them off, the energy supply will be cut off and the power of space will naturally converge. Then there will just be three fruits. It will be no problem for the bird to eat them." The antelope had obviously thought of it a long time ago.

"Even if it's not the real Three Thousand Worlds, the spatial power of the mustard seed fruit is too terrifying. It may not be so easy to pick it off." Zhou Wen pondered inwardly, wondering how he could pick the mustard seed fruit.

"It won't be your turn easily. They have all been picked up by the gods long ago." said the antelope.

Zhou Wen thought about it and actually came up with a solution, so he said, "I do have a solution, but I don't know if it will work. Let's give it a try."

As he spoke, Zhou Wen picked up a rock from the ground next to him, weighed it twice in his hand, and then threw it at a mustard seed on the mustard tree.

Zhou Wen's trick is naturally the method of replacing one thing with another. As long as the stone can touch the mustard seed, he can exchange the mustard seed.

However, Zhou Wen was not sure whether this method would be useful for the space-based mustard fruit.
