Chapter 1210
Hai Dongqing and Penglai Island Master knew what Gu Chen was worried about. They looked at a member of the Pure Spirit Kingdom. "I'll leave it to you."
This member of the Devil Region was from the Witch Tribe. His name was Wu Xian. Seeing everyone looking at him, he quickly took out a night-luminescent pearl from his storage ring.
"Your Majesty, this item is called the Spirit Purification Pearl. It's a dharma artifact used by the members of the Pure Spirit Kingdom to communicate with each other.
"There are many dharma artifacts that members of the Devil Region can communicate with each other, but this Spirit Purification Pearl has a unique feature. It's one-way. Only Your Holiness, no, only the Jingling Taoist can use it to contact everyone."
Gu Chen narrowed his eyes. "Just based on this, you're sure that the Jingling Taoist is still alive?"
"Your Majesty, you might not know this, but the Spirit Purification Pearl is said to be connected to the Jingling Taoist's mind. After the collapse of the Divine Realm, the pearl in my hand became dim. It was not until a few days ago that it suddenly regained its luster.
"After investigation, not only did the Spirit Purification Pearl in my hand become abnormal, but the other members of the Devil Region's as well. Everyone's Spirit Purification Pearl received the same message."
Wu Xian explained seriously, afraid that Gu Chen would not believe him.
"What message?" Gu Chen asked.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
Wu Xian immediately channeled his immortal power into the Spirit Purification Pearl. A paragraph of unintelligible text appeared in the crystal clear pearl.
This text did not look like any language in the Ninth Realm. It looked very strange.
"This is a secret text researched by the Jingling Taoist. Only he can use it. This also proves that he sent the message.
"The meaning of this text is simple. The Jingling Taoist asked all members of the Devil Region to gather at the Great Leiyin Temple on Mount Meru. They are to stay put and wait for the next order. Other than that, there is no other explanation.
"Both the Spirit Purification Pearl and this text can be used as evidence that the Jingling Taoist is still alive. Your Majesty, please trust our judgment."
After Wu Xian finished speaking, Gu Chen frowned and fell into deep thought.
From his point of view, he didn't want to believe that the Man with a Bamboo Hat was still alive. However, the members of the Pure Spirit Kingdom had been with the Man with a Bamboo Hat for a longer time than he did. If they all believed in this, then it was possible.
Why did he order all the members of the Demon Region to head to the Great Tempest Temple?
The Great Thunderclap Monastery was the number one monastery in Buddhism and was built by the Buddha Emperor of the Western Heaven. Mount Meru was also the place where the Buddha Emperor confirmed his Dao.
That place could be said to be the highest holy land of Buddhism. It was of great significance to the entire Western Heaven Starfield and was the place of faith for countless Buddhist believers.
However, no matter how special that place was, it was only related to Buddhism. What value did it have to the Man with a Bamboo Hat?
Gu Chen was very clear that if this matter was really the work of the Man with a Bamboo Hat, with his character of not getting up early without benefits, there must be something in Mount Meru that attracted him.
"Do you have any other clues about this? Have you guessed the reason why the Jingling Taoist asked you to gather at Mount Meru? "
Gu Chen looked at the members of the Demon Region present.
Including Yuan Buhuo and Qiong Qi, the four of them shook their heads.
"The Jingling Taoist's schemes are as deep as the sea. Most of the time, he won't tell us the specific reason before taking action. We'll only know when the time is right."
Yuan Buhuo said. Gu Chen knew that what he said was true.
Gu Chen had also done a lot of research on the Pure Spirit Kingdom in the past. Because of the Man with a Bamboo Hat's character, he had caused a lot of trouble.
"Regarding Mount Meru, we do know one thing."
Wu Xian hesitated and said.
"What is it?"
"Many years ago, the Jingling Taoist once sneaked into Mount Meru and stole the Great Tempest Temple's treasure, the Buddha Emperor Dipankara."
"Later, during the battle in the Divine Realm, with the help of the Buddha Emperor Dipankara, we were able to open the Heavenly Law Sealed Domain."
"I wonder if this matter has anything to do with this operation?"
Hearing this, Gu Chen recalled. He also had some impression of this matter.
But since the Jingling Taoist had even stolen the Great Tempest Temple's treasure, why would he still target the Great Tempest Temple? Could it be that there was something more precious than the Buddha Emperor Dipankara?
He thought for a long time but could not understand. After carefully questioning everyone, he found that they did not have any more clues. In that case, he could only go to Mount Meru and take a look!
Perhaps he could get some clues by going to Mount Meru and asking the monks of the Great Tempest Temple!
Gu Chen expressed his thoughts. Hai Dongqing nodded in agreement and said, "We originally planned to go to Mount Meru, but we received a message from His Majesty the Celestial Emperor, so we waited here for a few days."
"Through Friend Yuan's private contacts and inquiries, it can be confirmed that there are currently many members of the Demon Realm gathered near Mount Meru. They are not moving according to the Jingling Taoist's orders."
"They all want to know if the Jingling Taoist is still alive, so the members of the Demon Realm should all gather soon."
Gu Chen's eyebrows gradually relaxed when he heard this. After such a discussion with everyone, he had not heard any bad news.
First of all, no one saw whether the Man with a Bamboo Hat was really alive, which meant that someone might be using his name to cause trouble. No matter who this person was, he could not be more difficult to deal with than the Man with a Bamboo Hat himself.
Originally, he had asked Hai Dongqing and Penglai Island Master to do their best to gather all the members of the Pure Spirit Kingdom.
Due to the lack of time, he was ready to give up the power of the Pure Spirit Kingdom. But now that they were here and all of them were gathered together, he naturally could not let go of this opportunity!
With their speed, it would only take a few days to reach Mount Meru. Together with this matter, he hoped that everything would be settled within half a month!
"Gu Chen, Mount Meru is the holy land of the Western Paradise. We might not be welcomed if we go there rashly."
Penglai Island Master was more considerate and reminded him.
According to Gu Chen's plan, he planned to find clues from the monks of the Tempest Temple. However, because the Jingling Taoist had once stolen a precious treasure from the Tempest Temple, if the Tempest Temple knew that Gu Chen was with the members of the Demon Realm, he would definitely not be welcomed and might even be in trouble.
But if he hid their relationship with the members of the Demon Realm, how could he find clues?
If he did not think of a solution to this problem, even if Gu Chen was now the Celestial Emperor, the senior monks of the Tempest Temple would not give him face.
The Western Heaven Star Region had been isolated from the world for a long time, so they did not care much about the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm.
"Island Master, you have thought it through thoroughly. This matter indeed needs to be carefully considered."
Gu Chen nodded. If possible, he hoped that he could also rope in the forces of the Western Heaven Star Region to go to Mount Meru and fight against the Xing County together.
If the Pure Spirit Kingdom and the Buddhist Sects of the Western Heaven Star Region were added, the chances of the Ninth Realm winning would be much higher.
If he wanted to make allies, he could not make enemies first. This matter would be a great test of his wisdom.
"Maybe this time, they can help."
