Everything Is Destined! What Is Not Destined Must Not Be Forced!

In the immortal mountain, Bodhi Wisdom looked at the Wooden Fish in his hand, and even a look of fear appeared in his eyes.

[Child-Mother Fish]

The three words were extremely jarring; he couldn't believe them, nor did he want to.

Since they are Child-Mother Fish, then there is a mother and a baby. Under normal circumstances, Bodhi Wisdom would believe without hesitation that the Child-Mother Fish in his hand is the mother fish. However, after all the things that happened before, Bodhi Wisdom no longer has confidence.

"No, no, no."

Bodhi Wisdom constantly manifested in his mind.

But at that moment, another fairy mountain appeared.

Lu Changsheng slowly appeared in the altar.

A Wooden Fish- Law Artifact suddenly appeared before Lu Changsheng's eyes.

"Buddhist Treasure?"

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised, never expecting to see Buddhist Emperor Artifact. He lowered his head, then reached out and grasped the Wooden Fish artifact. In an instant, numerous Buddha Shadow appeared, and waves of Brahmaic Sound filled the air, captivating the listener.

This Buddhist Emperor Artifact is no ordinary Buddhist Emperor Artifact. Although Lu Changsheng did not know the classification of imperial artifacts, he could sense that this Buddhist Emperor Artifact was very different.

Picking up the Wooden Fish, three words quickly came into view.

[Child-Mother Fish]

"Mother and child?"

At that moment, Lu Changsheng suddenly realized that this imperial artifact possessed extraordinary Buddha-nature and gave people a unique feeling because it was Child-Mother Fish, neither of which could be missing. He figured this must be a treasure from the Great Immortal Mountain.

"So, is this the child or the mother?"

Lu Changsheng examined the imperial artifact, unsure whether it was a juvenile or mother fish. After careful consideration, he still couldn't come up with a solution.

Just because Lu Changsheng couldn't think of a solution doesn't mean Bodhi Wisdom couldn't.

In another celestial mountain, Bodhi Wisdom holds Child-Mother Fish. He knows how to distinguish Child-Mother Fish. As long as he strikes the Wooden Fish, if it is the child, it will return to the mother's side; if it is the mother, the child will be summoned.

This is no ordinary imperial artifact; it is a Buddhist imperial artifact, the Child-Mother Buddha Fish, possessing unparalleled power. However, if it were disassembled, it would only be a Small Emperor Artifact, even less powerful than a Small Emperor Artifact of others.

"Fortune favors the bold! This humble monk will risk it all!"

Bodhi Wisdom gritted his teeth, then struck the Wooden Fish. In an instant, the sound of Buddhist chanting, like heavenly music, resounded throughout the entire sacred mountain, cleansing the soul and calming all the restless heart.

"Namo Ratna Trayaya, Namo Arya, Avalokiteshvara, Svabhāya."

This is Mind-Calming Ancient Chant. The sound of the Buddha's voice resounds throughout the heavens and earth, Child-Mother Fish in Bodhi Wisdom's hand rises into the air.

Call out!

In an instant, the Child-Mother Fish in his hand broke through the barrier and headed straight for another immortal mountain.

Bodhi Wisdom chased after it immediately, because even now he still believed that it was the young fish going to find the mother fish, but less than a moment later, Bodhi Wisdom was stunned.

Because he saw that familiar person he never wanted to see again.

Lu Changsheng.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng was also stunned.

Just now, he couldn't figure out how to tell whether the fish in his hand was a baby fish or a mother fish, and he was just thinking of looking for another Wooden Fish elsewhere when...

The result then appeared right in front of me.

In an instant, Lu Changsheng realized what was happening.

"This doesn't count, I didn't say I wanted it."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself, "Usually, I always need to use cheat codes, but this time I don't. Another Wooden Fish appeared in front of me, Lu Changsheng definitely won't recognize it."

However, Lu Changsheng soon spotted a familiar face.

Bodhi Wisdom.

"Fellow Daoist, what a coincidence!"

Lu Changsheng was surprised. How could they meet like this? What a coincidence!

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Bodhi Wisdom could no longer contain himself. He roared, and in an instant, Buddhist Pure Land Phenomenon. Various Buddha Shadow appeared behind him, and countless rays of Buddhist light shot directly towards Lu Changsheng.

"Bodhi Daoist Bodhi, what are you doing? I consider you a person with whom I have a karmic connection, and you actually want to hit me?"

With a wave of his hand, Lu Changsheng unleashed a terrifying Buddhist light from the Child-Mother Fish. The golden Buddhist light was as dazzling as the sun, and a huge Vajra Buddha phantom appeared, blocking all of Bodhi Wisdom's attacks.

"Who exactly are you? You've stolen my treasures time and time again. I let it go once, twice, even three times, but this is the fourth time. Aren't you going too far?"

Bodhi Wisdom was almost in tears. He had never encountered anything like this before. Four times in a row, he had been robbed by Lu Changsheng, and even caused a Child-Mother Fish to appear.

Even a clay figure has a certain amount of fire, let alone someone who isn't a clay figure.

"Bodhi Daoist Bodhi, you are mistaken. This is fate. Fate brings us together and fate separates us. Fate brings you together and fate brings us together. Fate brings us together and fate..."

Lu Changsheng began to make things up.

"I love you, asterisks."

Bodhi Wisdom clenched his fist and roared.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng sighed and shook his head.

"As the saying goes, 'Everything is destined, and what is not, you cannot force.' Isn't this what you, fellow Daoist, have to say?"

"Bodhi Daoist Bodhi, you are attached to appearances!"

Lu Changsheng clasped his hands together and said with utmost seriousness.

Hiss!

Bodhi Wisdom gasped. He hadn't expected that even at this point, Lu Changsheng would still be making jokes at him.

Oh, no, I mean, using such words to humiliate myself.

For a moment, Bodhi Wisdom felt like crying even more, but as a prodigy of the God King Clan, he took a breath, looked up at the sky at a 70-degree angle, and tried not to let the tears fall.

But after a while, Bodhi Wisdom also realized that Lu Changsheng was not someone to be trifled with. If they really fought, he would not be afraid of Lu Changsheng, but the result would definitely be that both sides would be injured. If they were to be injured, and if the Supreme Immortal Mountain to be revived, he would definitely suffer a huge loss if he missed this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Bodhi Wisdom clenched his fist, took a deep breath, and decided to swallow his anger completely.

Just then, Lu Changsheng's voice rang out.

"Bodhi Daoist Bodhi, I actually quite like the Buddhist teachings. How about this: instead of venturing to the next immortal mountain, we can exchange some mental techniques with each other?"

Lu Changsheng spoke calmly with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Bodhi Wisdom didn't quite grasp what Lu Changsheng was thinking; he only thought Lu Changsheng was humiliating him.

"What a joke. A person may have a period of great luck. Your luck is at its peak now, but that doesn't mean your luck will be at its peak later."

"You may be seizing opportunities and obtaining imperial artifacts, but can you guarantee that you'll continue to succeed? You're too confident; sometimes confidence can bring you unnecessary trouble."

Bodhi Wisdom spoke earnestly, in a didactic tone.

Lu Changsheng nodded seriously. He felt that Bodhi Wisdom was right. However, he quickly continued, "You are right. A person's fortune has highs and lows. At this moment, my fortune is soaring, but that doesn't mean it will continue in the future. I can also sense that it may last for a few million epochs at most, and then only a few hundred million will remain."

He spoke very seriously and seemed to be very receptive to instruction.

Bodhi Wisdom was stunned again.

Are you using a meme on me again?

Millions of eras? From beginning to end, the Six Realms only have five or six eras. Are you crazy? Or did I mishear?

Bodhi Wisdom clenched his fists tightly; if it weren't for preserving his strength, he probably would have already made a full-scale attack.

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together; we'll see how things unfold in the future."

Bodhi Wisdom took a deep breath, said no more, and turned to leave.

Although he was both angry and furious, he knew that he had to remain calm at this moment, otherwise he would really embarrass himself.

You can keep looking for treasures if they're lost, but once you lose face, it's very difficult to get it back.

"Fellow Bodhi, are you really not going to spar with me on Daoist arts?"

Lu Changsheng spoke loudly, still wanting to have a proper exchange of Daoist techniques with Bodhi Wisdom.

"Get lost~~~~~"

Bodhi Wisdom answered in an indescribable tone, a mixture of anger, restraint, grievance, and helplessness, culminating in a slight sob.

The sound echoed.

Lu Changsheng watched Bodhi Wisdom descend the mountain, then glanced at the Child-Mother Fish in his hand and sighed, "What a kind person. It would be even better if he could give me the Buddha Scripture as well."

Unfortunately, Lu Changsheng didn't say these words aloud; he was just talking to himself.

In fact, when Lu Changsheng came into close contact with Bodhi Wisdom, he was certain that he had mastered the Buddha Scripture, but it would be very troublesome to copy them.

The Heavenly Emperor Law can imitate any Divine Ability power or immortal technique, and it can also imitate mental techniques. But the problem is, generally speaking, who would show off their mental techniques?

The Heavenly Emperor Law cannot be copied out of thin air. The reason why the True Devil Scripture was deduced before was because there was a first half, so the second half could be deduced. Now that there is not a single hair, it is simply impossible to directly deduce a Buddha Scripture.

I need to think of a way to trick him.

Seeing that Bodhi Wisdom had already gone far away, Lu Changsheng began to ponder, but while pondering, Lu Changsheng still went to collect treasures.

In less than half a day, Lu Changsheng had collected all the imperial artifacts from the fifteen immortal mountains.

Fourteen ordinary imperial artifacts and one special imperial artifact, the Child-Mother Fish.

The Child-Mother Buddha Fish is equivalent to five ordinary Imperial Artifacts, which translates to nineteen Imperial Artifacts in total.

Looking at the fifteen imperial artifacts in my hand, to be honest, I felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

This is an imperial artifact! Giving it away to a friend is better than giving it back to heaven and earth, right? If it weren't for the fear of being judged by the Heavenly Dao, Lu Changsheng would really be reluctant to refine an imperial artifact and give it back to heaven and earth.

However, after thinking it over, Lu Changsheng decided to pay off his debts first.

At the summit, Lu Changsheng began setting up the Heaven-Sacrificing Grand Array.

Beyond the immortal mountain.

A hearty laugh rang out.

"Hahaha, Brother Jieyin, you've had quite a fruitful harvest this time."

The voice of Bodhi Wisdom rang out, surrounded by Buddha Shadow. He stood on a golden bridge, held a whisk in his hand, and had a ruddy complexion. He was full of energy and spirit, and at first glance, one would subconsciously think that Bodhi Wisdom had obtained a lot of treasures.

"Oh, really? Ha! Ha! Ha!"

The Guiding Bitter Sea of Reception did not show any smile on his face. This was mainly because his expression was difficult to control, giving people a slow feeling. Moreover, his eyes were always filled with pity, as if he pitied all the people in the world. In particular, when he smiled, it was uglier than crying.

"Really, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha!"

Bodhi Wisdom laughed loudly, appearing extremely happy.

This approach also excited and delighted the divine cultivators.

Although they didn't obtain the Imperial Artifact, Bodhi Wisdom obtaining it is equivalent to the Divine Race obtaining it. It's good to keep the good stuff within the family; as long as it's one of our own, there's no problem.

"It seems that Bodhi Honored One has gained quite a lot this time."

"Fifteen immortal mountains were revived in total. Bodhi Honored One must have received at least half of them, right?"

"Half? You underestimate Bodhi Honored One."

"Yeah, at least ten, right?"

"A conservative estimate is ten, maybe thirteen."

"I bet fourteen items."

"I'll bet fifteen items."

"There must be fifteen pieces! Look at that, even the Bodhi Honored One is laughing to tears. If there weren't at least fifteen pieces, would he be laughing to tears?"

"Yes, now that you mention it, I've noticed it too. Why did Bodhi Honored One start crying while he was laughing?"

"You still need to ask that? You must have cried tears of joy."

The divine cultivators all spoke up.

Bodhi Honored One also gradually suppressed his smile. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and for some reason, he felt a sense of self-loathing at that moment.

What a hypocrite.

But just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Look, what's that?"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, pointing to the top of a sacred mountain and shouting loudly.

In an instant, pairs of eyes turned to the mountaintop.

On the mountaintop, an ancient altar appeared against the Azure Sky.

Above the altar, there were nine four-legged cauldrons surrounding the altar. At this moment, the world changed drastically, and a terrifying phenomenon appeared in the sky above the Ten Thousand Immortal Mountains.

"Isn't this Lu Changsheng?"

What is he trying to do?

"Is this a ritual to worship the heavens?"

"Why would we need to perform a sacrifice to Heaven out of the blue?"

"Offering sacrifices to Heaven?"

Numerous voices arose, many wondering what Lu Changsheng was up to. But soon, an Immortal King spoke up, revealing what Lu Changsheng was trying to do.

"Throughout history, worshipping heaven and earth has been a significant ritual. Only qualified individuals can perform this ritual. Moreover, there are two types of worship: one is to pray for harmony between heaven and earth, which is a meritorious act; the other is to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth to atone for one's heinous crimes."

Someone spoke up, opening their mouth slowly, but the second half of their sentence seemed somewhat emphasized, making people involuntarily think in other directions.

"Yes, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth is an extremely important ritual. If it is the former, then very special offerings are required. If it is the latter, it is simpler. Offering sacrifices to heaven and earth and sincerely repenting may give you a chance to repent."

Among the gods, voices rang out, almost immediately concluding that Lu Changsheng had committed an unforgivable crime and wanted to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth to wash away his sins.

"I wonder what sins he committed that require a sacrifice to heaven and earth. It seems that this Heavenly Emperor Lu has some unknown secrets."

Another voice rang out, intending to humiliate, but seemingly remembering something, it ultimately swallowed its own words.

"How ridiculous! Does the fact that we, the strong of the human race, sacrifice to heaven and earth necessarily mean we have committed a sin?"

"Exactly, your gods are truly laughable. Are you really not afraid of being beaten?"

"Of course, after all, the once invincible God Race was overwhelmed by our human race's experts. If they can't beat them, they'll definitely have to humiliate them a bit, right?"

"Offering sacrifices to heaven and earth does not necessarily mean committing a sin. On the contrary, I believe that Senior Brother Changsheng is definitely praying for peace and harmony in the world."

The human cultivators were also unconvinced, and some of the prodigies spoke up to help Lu Changsheng fight back.

"Hahaha, what a joke! Praying for peace and harmony in the world? Do you think such a large-scale sacrifice can be accomplished by just shouting a few slogans? The offerings required are unparalleled, beyond your imagination. Could it be that Lu Changsheng can bring out an imperial artifact for the sacrifice?"

A prodigy from the Divine Race laughed, his tone dripping with sarcasm.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the monk next to him suddenly tugged at him.
