Seeing the handsome young man with a playful smile in front of him, the white-bearded old man, or Jade Ding Zhenren, immediately froze in his face.

Before he could come up with a suitable response, the handsome young man smiled and said with emotion: "Master Yu Ding, isn't it a coincidence that you and I just parted at the Yulan Festival and then met near the Five Elements Mountain... This is fate!"

“Yes…yes!”

Jade Ding Zhenren breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "I wonder why the Emperor came here?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "Nothing much, I'm just curious and want to wait for the Guanyin Master here to witness the beginning of the catastrophe."

At this point, Lin Zhongtian paused, flipped his hand and took out a golden hoop, and said with a smile: "Oh, yes, there is also this thing. The restriction set by Tathagata is too simple. I broke it in no time on the way here."

"So I thought, when I meet Venerable Guanyin, I will help her improve the golden hoop to avoid any trouble in the future..."

Hearing Lin Zhongtian's seemingly casual words, Master Yu Ding felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

After a little thought, he said softly, "Emperor, this is not necessary, right?"

"Oh?" Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows, "Why?"

Jade Ding Zhenren asked in a low voice: "I wonder what the Emperor thinks of Ziwei Palace?"

Lin Zhongtian said calmly: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will accept this free Heavenly Palace stronghold."

Jade Ding Zhenren laughed and said, "Then why would the Emperor want to enhance the prestige of others and destroy his own ambition?"

"Although the prosperity of Buddhism is destiny, it is not without room for maneuver. I think many forces in the Three Realms, including the Heavenly Court, do not want to see Buddhism achieve the most perfect and successful ending, right?"

Hearing Master Yu Ding's words that seemed to suggest something, Lin Zhongtian nodded thoughtfully.

Then, he suddenly asked, "Great success?"

Jade Ding Zhenren's heart skipped a beat, realizing that he had subconsciously used some inappropriate words.

But on the surface, he remained calm and asked in confusion: "Is there any problem?"

Lin Zhongtian stared into his eyes, suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "Nothing, it's just that I often hear the word 'great success' in other worlds, so I am subconsciously a little sensitive to it."

Jade Ding Zhenren suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

Lin Zhongtian looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Master, aren't you curious about what I'm referring to?"

Jade Ding Zhenren's expression remained unchanged, and he chuckled, "The Emperor came from the outer space, this is a well-known fact in the Three Realms. Yu Ding and the Emperor are just nodding acquaintances, so naturally he would not ask such a presumptuous question."

Lin Zhongtian looked at him steadily for a while, then sighed helplessly.

"You are too cautious, man. Never mind. I don't want to test you anymore. Let's just come clean. Jade Ding Zhenren, or should I call you... Bodhi Patriarch?"

Lin Zhongtian stared at Master Yu Ding and slowly said the name.

Upon hearing this name, Jade Ding Zhenren sighed inwardly, knowing that the secret he had tried so hard to hide was finally exposed.

Lin Zhongtian looked at his expression, and suddenly smiled and said, "Of course, I know, this is not your biggest secret. Your biggest secret should be your origin in your previous life, right?"

At this point, Lin Zhongtian sighed, looked at the silent Jade Ding Zhenren and said, "I'm just confused. You clearly saw us riding Godzilla to Lingshan, and you also recognized Godzilla's identity, but you pretended not to know. Why is that?"

There was a hint of doubt in Lin Zhongtian's eyes.

He asked Bai Lang to reveal his true form and carry everyone. Apart from the so-called pomp and circumstance, his main purpose was to see if there were any time travelers with strange expressions at the Ullambana Festival.

Unfortunately, his plan did not succeed. The immortals and gods showed normal shock and did not have the reaction he expected.

However, Lin Zhongtian did not give up. He was still paying attention to the immortals attending the meeting. Until Tathagata passed down the tight hoop curse, he finally found a suspect who was also eavesdropping - Jade Ding Zhenren.

On the surface, this fellow's cultivation is only at the initial level of Daluo enlightenment, but in fact, his hidden cultivation is extremely deep. At this Ullambana Festival, he is only slightly inferior to Tathagata.

At the same time, the magical powers he possessed were so powerful that even Tathagata could not detect his act of eavesdropping on the scriptures.

If Lin Zhongtian had not mastered the information avenue and discovered another eavesdropper from the information level, it would have been difficult to detect the secret hidden by Jade Ding Zhenren.

After hearing Lin Zhongtian's words, Jade Ding Zhenren fell silent.

After a moment, his aura changed, and he suddenly became like a sage, mysterious and profound.

Of course, this is in the eyes of other people. In Lin Zhongtian's eyes, Master Yu Ding simply released his hidden cultivation.

Jade Ding Zhenren sighed and said, "How did you find out?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "There are too many flaws. First, there is your disciple with extraordinary fighting ability. Second, there is your performance at the Yulan Festival. Third, there is the story that happened between you and the woodcutter just now."

"At first I was wondering why you appeared in front of the woodcutter and deliberately gave him a chance."

"Later, I calculated and found out that the woodcutter's surname was Li. Several decades later, his grandson moved his family to Suiye City in the Western Regions and gave birth to a baby boy there. His name was... Li Bai!"

After that, Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "You seem to really like collecting historical celebrities."

"I checked carefully. Ever since the Conferred God Battle, you have been active in the East through your incarnations. From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qin, Han, and Three Kingdoms Periods, to the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the glorious Tang Dynasty, you have left traces everywhere."

Jade Ding Zhenren looked at Lin Zhongtian quietly, shook his head and said: "Emperor, please don't confuse cause and effect. These so-called traces were calculated after you confirmed my identity, right?"

"I want to know, what flaw did I reveal at the Obon Festival?"

Lin Zhongtian laughed when he heard this: "As expected of a time traveler who can survive in this world, he is indeed smart!"

"Well, to tell you the truth, you really didn't reveal any flaws at the Yulan Festival. It's just that I have stronger means and discovered that you were eavesdropping on the spell..."

Master Yu Ding's pupils shrank: "How is this possible?"

Lin Zhongtian chuckled and said, "What's impossible..."

"My methods are probably hard for you to understand right now. When you become a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian and surpass your master in this world, I will explain them to you!"

As soon as these words came out, an air of arrogance that was difficult to describe in words came over him.

Master Yu Ding felt a sinking feeling in his heart, thinking that even if he used all his skills, he might not be a match for the man in front of him.

"You... No, who are you?"

Jade Ding Zhenren asked in a deep voice.

Lin Zhongtian spread his hands and said, "Who else could it be? Of course it must be a time traveler like you!"

“…I know that.”

Jade Ding Zhenren frowned and said in a deep voice: "This is not the first time I have met a time traveler, but there has never been a time traveler as powerful as you..."

Lin Zhongtian blinked and asked in surprise: "Have you ever met a time traveler?"

"Of course." Jade Ding Zhenren said calmly, "This world is the core of all the heavens and myriad worlds. As a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, I can naturally come into contact with countless lower realms."

"I have also split my divine consciousness and descended into those worlds, where I met other travelers."

At this point, Jade Ding Master paused and said calmly, "But unfortunately, the result of our meeting was not very pleasant. In order to compete with my reincarnation of divine consciousness for the position of the chief of a certain immortal sect, that person actually told my identity to the master, saying that I was possessed by a demon."

"Then, he teamed up with the commander to set up an ambush and stabbed me in the back, causing my spirit to reincarnate and die unjustly."

...So miserable?

Lin Zhongtian was slightly shocked and finally understood why this guy was so wary of them.

It turned out that I had met the wrong person. Unfortunately, I experienced what it means when fellow villagers meet, they stab each other in the back!

No wonder even though he recognized the identities of Lin Zhongtian and others, he pretended not to know and observed secretly.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian blinked and asked curiously: "What happened later?"

Jade Ding Zhenren glanced at him and said calmly: "I received the memory of the divine mind, so I sent an incarnation to descend into that world and kill the traverser who dared to betray me."

"Right now, that guy should still be in the underworld, experiencing the endless reincarnation of the eighteen levels of hell..."

Wow, that’s pretty cruel!

Lin Zhongtian asked curiously, "Did you only meet this one time traveler?"

Jade Ding Zhenren shook his head: "Of course there is more than one."

Lin Zhongtian continued to ask: "What about the others, were they also stabbed in the back?"

Jade Ding thought about it and nodded, "That's about right."

Lin Zhongtian asked unwillingly: "Not even one exception?"

Jade Ding Zhenren showed a complicated expression, shook his head and said: "There is... an exception. That person and I had a very good relationship when he was in the lower realm. We were both teachers and friends. We encouraged each other and competed in a healthy way. Finally, we ascended to the upper realm at the same time."

“But after arriving in this world, he learned that I was actually Jade Ding Zhenren, and that the one who had been with him for a long time was just a reincarnation of his divine mind. Then, he suddenly had a mental breakdown and became extremely jealous, which eventually led to mistakes in his training and the growth of evil thoughts. One day, he secretly went to Yuxu Palace and wanted to tell Master about my identity as a time traveler.”

"Unfortunately, what he doesn't know is that I had traveled through time before I transformed. The disciple accepted by the master is me. There is no such thing as taking over the body of the Jade Tripod..."

Lin Zhongtian couldn't wait to ask: "And then?"

Jade Ding Zhenren had a complicated expression and sighed, "Then Master captured him and gave his soul to me, telling me to deal with it myself. I searched his soul and found out that he had fallen in love with my reincarnation!"

“…wonderful, wonderful!”

Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but applaud and praised the performance highly.

Jade Ding Zhenren's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Lin Zhongtian and said, "Emperor, I have said so much, now it is your turn, right?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly, then waved his hand. Not far away under the Five Elements Mountain, the monkey hair on Sun Wukong's head suddenly flew up and turned into a jade plate engraved with the seal of the void, flying towards the direction where the two were.

"call out--"

With a slight sound, Lin Zhongtian grabbed the mobile phone-shaped jade token, threw it to Jade Ding Zhenren, and said with a smile: "As long as this thing recognizes its master, you will understand everything!"

Master Yu Ding looked at Lin Zhongtian deeply, then lowered his head to look at the void jade token in his hand.

After hesitating for a moment, his expression hardened, and he finally extended his spiritual power to recognize this Void Jade Plate as its master.

Immediately afterwards, Jade Ding Zhenren's pupils shrank and his expression became very interesting.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Lin Zhongtian with shining eyes.

"The Transmigrators...Alliance?"
