Great Thousand World, Little Monk?

The Great Thousand World.

This place is vast and boundless, filled with countless myths and legends, as well as the wonders of Myriad Realms.

And right at this very moment.

In the Great Thousand World, in the eastern region, amidst the continuous mountains, a spatial rift appeared.

In an instant, a figure appeared within these endless mountains.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

As soon as Lu Changsheng stepped into the Great Thousand World, the Great Dao Azure Lotus instantly awakened, obscuring all heavenly secrets. At the same time, terrifying Power of Principle was bestowed upon him.

This is the Principle of the world, the Power of Principle the Great Thousand World.

Lu Changsheng's cultivation level and strength underwent a transformation.

In this Great Thousand World, what permeates is no longer the so-called immortal energy, but the vast immortal energy, each strand of which is mixed with fragments of Principle.

One breath can give even a cultivator at the Immortal Saint Realm a great deal of insight. They don't even need to cultivate; they can just inhale and keep inhaling. In less than a year, they can reach the Immortal King Realm.

"This is truly Great Thousand World."

Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised, and upon sensing the extraordinary nature of this Great Thousand World, he couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Not only was there so much immortal energy, but Lu Changsheng also discovered that everything in the Great Thousand World was extremely different.

A Celestial Emperor, a powerful being, can easily reverse the sun and moon, and burn mountains and boil seas in the Six Realms with a single thought.

But everything in this Great Thousand World contains the Power of Principle, even an inconspicuous little stone contains the Power of Principle.

For a Celestial Emperor, let alone burning mountains and boiling seas, simply smashing a small hill with all their might is already their limit.

However, soon, Lu Changsheng sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the Principle the Great Thousand World, while also adapting to its environment.

About an hour later.

Lu Changsheng had already adapted to the Great Thousand World. He was originally a primordial chaotic Dao body, capable of adapting to any environment.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng is now a cultivator at the Fu Yao Great Perfection Transcendence Realm.

This moment.

Lu Changsheng concealed all his divine light. Although his cultivation level was not the highest in the Great Thousand World, he could still be considered a strong person.

When unleashed at full power, it can contend with a powerhouse who Transcendent Great Perfection.

Amidst the green mountains.

Lu Changsheng concealed all his brilliance; his appearance was otherworldly, his white robes made him look like Fallen Immortal, and a calm smile graced his face.

I glanced around and saw green mountains and clear waters, with one mountain after another stretching endlessly.

I don't know where this place is, but the immortal energy here is very dense, so it must be a treasure land.

However, Lu Changsheng quickly sensed a figure as he swept his Divine Sense across the area.

He was a young monk.

He was meditating on another mountaintop, and there was no one else around.

Lu Changsheng smiled slightly, took a step, and arrived at the top of the mountain, standing in front of the little monk.

The young monk was not very old, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a round head and a very handsome appearance. However, he did not possess any Law Power. Although he had condensed the Principle, this condensation was a natural result of his long-term stay in this environment.

This piqued Lu Changsheng's curiosity.

Even in the immortal realm, there could be no mortals. This is the Great Thousand World; how could there possibly be mortals here?

Lu Changsheng couldn't help but be curious.

"Little monk."

Driven by curiosity, Lu Changsheng spoke up.

In an instant, the monk who was meditating opened his eyes and looked at Lu Changsheng.

His eyes were incredibly bright, and at the same time, they held a hint of surprise.

Because he had never seen such a handsome man.

Lu Changsheng's appearance surprised and shocked him.

However, the young monk quickly came to his senses and then put his hands together and said, "Amitabha."

He whispered something, then looked at Lu Changsheng with crystal-clear eyes.

"Esteemed benefactor, what brings you here?"

The young monk asked.

Lu Changsheng chuckled softly, then asked slowly.

"What are you doing here?"

"Watch Zen."

The young monk answered truthfully.

"Enlightenment through Zen? What Zen are you talking about?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

The so-called enlightenment of Zen means contemplation.

"I'm wondering why the ants on the ground, so incredibly small and easily wiped out by a gust of wind, are still so diligent?"

The young monk spoke up, his thoughts somewhat strange; sitting here, he was simply pondering such a question.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but chuckle.

"So, have you figured it out?"

Upon hearing this, the young monk said with some shame, "I've been meditating here for several days, and I've almost run out of food, but I still haven't figured it out."

At this point, the little monk scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

However, at this point, the little monk looked at Lu Changsheng and couldn't help but ask.

"May I ask, benefactor, if you could enlighten me?"

The young monk asked this question, even though he didn't know if Lu Changsheng understood, but it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng chuckled softly, then looked at the ants on the ground and spoke slowly.

"Act according to destiny."

Lu Changsheng spoke, uttering these four words.

"Destiny?"

The young monk was puzzled. He looked at Lu Changsheng with curiosity in his eyes.

"Everything in the world has its own destiny. Everything in the world has an unseen destiny. Even a stone has its own destiny. If you follow your destiny, everything will be at peace."

Lu Changsheng replied in this way.

"The life of an ant is to obey the will of Heaven. How do you explain the common people who often say they defy Heaven and say, 'My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of Heaven'?"

The young monk asked curiously.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng smiled and looked at the little monk.

Do you want to know?

Lu Changsheng asked.

The latter nodded immediately, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Then take your time to think about it."

Lu Changsheng answered, his smile as gentle as a ray of warm sunshine.

This answer left the young monk stunned.

"Benefactor, I sincerely want to know, and I hope you can grant me the answer."

The young monk clasped his hands together, his eyes filled with longing.

Lu Changsheng did not answer.

It wasn't that he was being deliberately mysterious; it was mainly because he didn't know why anyone would want to defy the heavens.

To be honest, everything in the world has its destiny, especially after mastering the Grand Destiny Art, Lu Changsheng knew this.

Fate is in your own hands; Heaven will not interfere with destiny. The final result is formed by a series of choices.

For example, if Qingyun Daoist had not chosen Lu Changsheng back in the Lower Realm, he would not have been able to become Lu Changsheng's master.

But some people believe that all the misery is caused by God.

In fact, Lu Changsheng really wanted to say something.

What does this have to do with God?

Wouldn't it be better to cultivate oneself properly?

Do we really have to defy the heavens?

To put it bluntly, this is still the way of justice. It won't punish you for your thoughts. If you were a little selfish, and you kept shouting that you were defying the heavens, who else would they punish but you?

So, Lu Changsheng was also puzzled.

Why do people who cultivate to a certain level all think about defying the heavens?

Look at yourself, you never think about defying fate, and you're living a pretty happy life, aren't you?

"As the saying goes, every question has an answer. You've asked so many questions, isn't it my turn to ask a few?"

Lu Changsheng said this.

Upon hearing this, the little monk thought for a moment and then nodded.

"Then tell me, where is this place?"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"This is the Eastern Region Divine Continent, Divine Stone Ridge."

The young monk answered earnestly.

However, the young monk then asked, "Are you also here to see the Eastern Continent Divine Stone?"

"Eastern Continent Divine Stone?"

Lu Changsheng became somewhat curious.

"Yes, in our Eastern Region Divine Continent, there is a divine stone that is said to have appeared a very, very long time ago, and was even once called the Supreme Divine Stone by a Creator."

"Legend has it that this stone nurtured an extremely powerful being."

The young monk said this.

Upon hearing these words, Lu Changsheng felt a strange sense of familiarity for some reason.

No, that's not true.

Lu Changsheng shook his head, but he quickly continued to ask.

"Do you know where the Ancient Supreme Hall is located?"

Lu Changsheng asked directly.

"Shh!"

However, as soon as Lu Changsheng finished speaking, the little monk made a shushing gesture.

"This benefactor, please do not use this name carelessly."

The young monk said nervously.

"What's the name?"

Lu Changsheng became somewhat curious.

"That's the one!"

The young monk dared not mention it.

"The Ancient Supreme Hall?"

Lu Changsheng became even more curious.

"Yes, yes, that's it. Please don't mention it, lest you be misunderstood as a remnant of High Antiquity times."

The young monk quickly spoke, his expression showing some nervousness.

"High Antiquity remnants?"

This only fueled Lu Changsheng's curiosity even more.

He didn't expect that this little monk actually knew about this place, and that this little monk had no cultivation at all. Apart from his physical body being nurtured by the Principle, which gave him a good innate foundation, he was not a cultivator at all.

Unexpectedly, this little monk knew quite a lot.

"Why can't we mention it!"

Lu Changsheng asked.

"The place you mentioned is the former site of the Great Dao Sect. It was later overthrown by the Palm Heaven Sect and has now become a forbidden area. I don't know the specifics."

The young monk answered in this way.

The other party's response caused Lu Changsheng to frown slightly.

After the Great God Pangu sent him to the Great Thousand World, he led a few people to the Ancient Supreme Hall. However, he never expected that this Supreme Hall had become a forbidden zone and that the Dao lineage had been overthrown by the Palm Heaven Sect.

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng's doubts deepened.

Just then, suddenly, a voice rang out from inside the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda and entered Lu Changsheng's Divine Sense.

"Your Changsheng Honored Lord, have you already arrived in the Great Thousand World?"

"I know this place well. To be honest, I, Hongye, am known as a know-it-all. I know about almost everything, big or small."

"Don't worry, let me out. I will never say a word out of turn or shout. If you don't believe me, I will even swear an oath."

A series of Divine Sense voices rang out.

Suddenly, Lu Changsheng remembered that the Red Karma Arhat was being suppressed inside his Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda.

This guy is a cultivator from the Great Thousand World; how could I have forgotten him?

Thinking of this, Lu Changsheng had a sudden thought.

In an instant, the Red Karma Arhat appeared before Lu Changsheng.

Soon, the Red Karma Arhat appeared, and at the same time, his true form was revealed.

He was bald, dark-skinned, strong and robust, with a halo of enlightenment behind his head, exuding a powerful aura. He wore a kasaya, but his left arm was exposed, giving him the appearance of a Vajra Arhat.

This is the true form of the Red Karma Arhat.

It was completely different from the otherworldly feeling it had before.

"Phew! The celestial air of this Great Thousand World smells so good."

After emerging from the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, the Red Karma Arhat greedily inhaled the surrounding immortal energy.

However, he did not act rashly, because he had long realized that Lu Changsheng's current realm had surpassed his own.

It can be said that his life and death are still in Lu Changsheng's hands, unless a powerful expert at the Great Luo level comes to his rescue.

Whoosh!

At that very moment, Lu Changsheng condensed a green lotus and directly injected it into the body of the Red Karma Arhat.

This is an aura of the Great Dao Azure Lotus, which also contains a seed of great karma. If the Red Karma Arhat dares to act rashly, this aura will directly transform into the Great Dao Azure Lotus, condensing immeasurable karma, and can directly obliterate him.

At the same time, the aura of the Great Dao Azure Lotus can also shield him from the secrets of heaven; Lu Changsheng is not that stupid.

"Arhat?"

The young monk standing nearby was slightly surprised to see the Red Karma Arhat appear.

Red Karma Arhat ignored the little monk and instead looked at Lu Changsheng.

"Thank Changsheng Honored Lord."

Red Karma Arhat was extremely excited. He had been suppressed inside the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda for some time, which had caused him great discomfort.

His birth now brings him immense joy.

"Your Changsheng Honored Lord, I, Hongye, am known as the Know-It-All of the Great Thousand World. I can say that there is nothing in the entire Great Thousand World that I do not know."

Red Karma Arhat patted his chest and assured them, showing no trace of the demeanor of an Arhat.

"Do you know about the Ancient Supreme Hall?"

Lu Changsheng spoke up and asked directly.

Upon hearing this, Red Karma Arhat's expression changed slightly.

"Your Changsheng Honored Lord, be careful what you say! Do not mention this name carelessly, or it will be sensed."

Red Karma Arhat quickly spoke up, urging Lu Changsheng to be careful with his words.

"Sensing? Who senses it?"

Lu Changsheng became even more curious.

Even if it's a forbidden zone—back in the Immortal Realm, Heaven Abyss God Mountain was a forbidden zone—mentioning it a couple of times shouldn't be a big problem, right? Why do you seem so terrified of talking about something so dangerous?

"Your Changsheng Honored Lord, you have just arrived in the Great Thousand World and may not know how terrifying this place is. How about we talk as we walk?"

The Red Karma Arhat said this.

Lu Changsheng nodded.

"Benefactor, I will go with you."

Upon hearing this, the young monk quickly stood up and asked the Red Karma Arhat, "May I ask if you are the Red Karma Arhat?"

The young monk looked at Hongye with great excitement.

He was a monk, while the Red Karma Arhat was an Arhat under the Buddha Mother, with countless statues standing Great Thousand World, and there are even some temples dedicated to the Red Karma Arhat.

For the young monk, let alone any other monk, even a Buddha would leave him deeply awestruck, let alone an Arhat.

Red Karma Arhat glanced at the little monk with a strange expression.

Where did this little bald monk come from?

He ignored it for the moment, glanced around, and then spoke.

"Is this Divine Stone Ridge? Changsheng Honored Lord, let me tell you, there is an extraordinary divine stone here. Would you like me to take you to see it?"

"Your Changsheng Honored Lord, please slow down and come this way."

Red Karma Arhat ignored the little monk and instead led the way with utmost flattery.

This gave Lu Changsheng a strange feeling.

But he still followed the Red Karma Arhat.

After all, there's nothing to do here all the time.

"Red Karma Arhat, I have read your Indestructible Vajra Sutra, could you leave me your name?"

The young monk followed, taking out a scripture and a pen, and chased after the Red Karma Arhat to get his autograph.

And so, in Divine Stone Ridge, an Arhat, a handsome man, and a young monk walked through the mountains.
