《I Became The Supreme Being Of The Buddhist Sect》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The spring rain washed away the luster of Spirit Platform Mountain. Li Xuanxin wore a white monk¡¯s robe and carried a bamboo basket as he walked over amidst the birds. Before he arrived, he heard Granny Shen¡¯s voice coming from Spirit Platform Temple. ¡°Master Hui Jue, our Xu Family¡¯s eldest daughter has really taken a fancy to Little Master Xuanxin. Our young lady said that as long as you¡¯re willing to persuade Little Master Xuanxin to renounce asceticism, she will donate 100,000 taels of silver to Spirit Platform Temple.¡± ¡°100,000 taels¡­¡± ¡°What? Are you worried that our young lady will go back on her word? The Xu Family is a big family within the radius of a hundred miles. Master Hui Jue, you know that.¡± ¡°This 100,000 taels is just a matter of moving your mouth.¡± ¡°Amitabha, that¡¯s not what I meant. It¡¯s just that the Zhang Family next door¡­ donated 120,000 taels of silver.¡± ¡°Money is not a problem. As long as you can convince Little Master Xuanxin, our Xu Family will prepare an additional gift for you.¡± ¡°How much¡­ Eh, Xuanxin, you¡¯re back.¡± Li Xuanxin did not say a word. He walked past the two of them with a dark expression and stepped through the door. Granny Shen looked at his back in a daze. ¡°This person is good-looking. It¡¯s a different feeling even when he looks angry. If I can obtain Little Master Xuanxin¡¯s blessing once, even if I lose my soul to the King of Hell, my life will not be in vain.¡± Hui Jue said smugly, ¡°That¡¯s right. My disciple¡¯s cultivation is not good, but in terms of appearance, it¡¯s difficult to find an opponent in the entire Great Zhou.¡± Granny Shen wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth and begged, ¡°Master Hui Jue, please help us. I¡¯ll wait for your good news.¡± ¡°Amitabha, no problem.¡± ¡­ Li Xuanxin had just arrived at his meditation room when his master, Hui Jue, chased after him with his hands behind his back. ¡°Xuanxin, why did you ignore Master just now?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t renounce asceticism, let alone marry into the Zhang and Xu families.¡± Li Xuanxin removed the bamboo basket and took out an injured fiery red fox to bandage it. Hui Jue sighed softly. ¡°Xuanxin, it¡¯s not that Master is heartless, but you¡¯re really not fated to be a monk.¡± ¡°Five years ago, I saved you and shaved your head for you.¡± ¡°However, in the past five years, you haven¡¯t learned a single Buddhist technique. I¡¯m helpless too.¡± ¡°In short, I won¡¯t marry into the family. If you want to marry into the family, feel free.¡± Li Xuanxin spoke of his final stubbornness. Master Hui Jue shook his head and could only sigh before leaving. He had originally wanted to renovate the hall. If he was lucky, he could even reconstruct the Golden Body of the Buddha. Now, it seemed that there was no hope. Forget it! At this moment, Li Xuanxin had already finished bandaging the little fox. The little fox rubbed against his hand affectionately. Li Xuanxin¡¯s heart warmed slightly and he stroked the little fox¡¯s head. ¡°Go, don¡¯t be naughty in the future.¡± The little fox let out a cry and skipped away from the meditation room. At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Li Xuanxin¡¯s mind. [Saved the Little Fox. Merit +17!] ¡°Completed one good achievement a day. Five years of merit accumulation has ended. Calculating merit¡­¡± Hearing this voice, Li Xuanxin was first stunned before he could not help but sigh. Five years! It had been five years! This damned cheat was finally activated. ¡®Do you know how I lived the past five years?¡¯ After transmigrating into this world where demons ran rampant, Li Xuanxin lived in the Spirit Platform Temple, a holy land of the Buddhist Sect in the Blue Sea City. He guarded the huge sect and had ten thousand scriptures, but he could not cultivate. He still had to do a good deed every day for five years due to the cheat! Without cultivation, he could only rely on himself to save small animals. He helped the old granny take two steps forward and helped the widow carry water. He persuaded the woman who had lost her chastity to turn over a new leaf and completed the mission requirements bit by bit. He also had to reject the covetous eyes of the beautiful women at the foot of the mountain and guard against the covetous eyes of the demons in the mountain. Finally, today, he successfully activated his cheat. Li Xuanxin hurriedly checked the Merit Golden Lotus. A few lines of small words had already appeared. It was Li Xuanxin¡¯s information. Li Xuanxin (Owner of the Merit Golden Lotus)! Race: Human Cultivation: None Cultivation Technique: None Merit Points: 1,084,618 Use of the Merit Golden Lotus: Consumes merit points to directly increase the cultivation technique level. ¡°So powerful! This golden finger is at least 18 centimeters long!¡± Li Xuanxin was delighted. He had not suffered in vain for five years. One had to know that cultivation techniques relied on comprehension. If one¡¯s comprehension was insufficient, they might not be able to cultivate a cultivation technique to the perfected realm in their entire life. For example, Li Xuanxin was trash among trash. He could not even enter the basics of any cultivation technique. Now, with the Merit Golden Lotus, he could directly increase the level of his cultivation technique. Then, he no longer needed to cultivate his cultivation technique. He only needed to increase the level of his cultivation technique and he could successfully use it to increase his strength or fight. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Sutra Pavilion.¡± Li Xuanxin quickly arrived at the Sutra Pavilion. It was morning. The fellow disciples were all cultivating in the arena. There were not many people in the Sutra Pavilion. Li Xuanxin decided to learn the Heart Sutra first. This was the first step of cultivation. Without True Qi in his body, how could he cultivate? There were countless cultivation techniques in the Buddhist faction, so the Heart Sutra was naturally countless. The cultivation techniques of each temple were also different. The more famous ones were the Diamond Scripture of the Diamond Monastery, the Bodhi Scripture of the Bodhi Temple, and the Muscle Strengthening Scripture of the Shaolin Temple¡­ Spirit Platform Temple had the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture! As long as they were disciples of Spirit Platform Temple, they could cultivate it. These sect treasures would not have harsh cultivation conditions for the disciples. Without the agreement of the abbot and the various head monks, the disciples of this temple would never renounce asceticism. It was useless to look at it anyway. If he did not learn it, he would forget it even if he looked at it once. This was a small method used by the treasure of the temple. In addition, the reason why the treasure of the temple was called the sect treasure was because it was difficult to learn! Countless disciples might not be able to learn many levels in their lives. If they could learn one, it would also bring the inheritance of the temple to greater heights. The temple could not wait for its disciples to learn it. The sect also had many ordinary cultivation techniques for disciples with poor potential to cultivate. Li Xuanxin had activated the Merit Golden Lotus and could directly increase the cultivation technique level. Furthermore, the merit points were limited, so she only needed to learn the best. He quickly found the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture and activated the Merit Golden Lotus to brand it. Then, he clicked to upgrade it. Merit points were flowing like magma erupting from a volcano. They could not be blocked. [By consuming 1 million merit points, you can raise the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture to the perfected 108th level.] So expensive! It almost used up all his merit in an instant. However, this was worth it. The Immovable Wisdom King Scripture was the supreme treasure of Spirit Platform Temple. Master Hui Jue had cultivated for more than a hundred years, but it was said that he had not reached the 50th level. If he spent a million merit points, he could instantly cultivate to the 108th level! Li Xuanxin clicked on it without hesitation. Then, he pressed his palms together and sat cross-legged. He began to accept the infusion of the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture. ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m¡­¡± As he chanted the scriptures, the dense True Qi in his body mixed with the golden scripture energy seemed to become a long dragon in Li Xuanxin¡¯s body. It came to life and circulated rapidly in Li Xuanxin¡¯s meridians. As time passed, a faint golden light appeared at the back of Li Xuanxin¡¯s head like a golden wheel. Then, lotuses began to bloom around Li Xuanxin and spread out. In the Hall of Great Strength, the head of the Fist Court, who was in charge of guarding the night, was reciting the scriptures with a few disciples. Suddenly, one of the disciples could not help but say, ¡°Master, look!¡± The head of the Fist Court looked over and his pupils constricted. The next second, his breathing quickened. From the outside to the inside, there were golden lotuses everywhere. They slowly bloomed and spun. ¡°The ground gives birth to the appearance of a golden lotus! This¡­ this is the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture that someone has cultivated to the perfected realm?¡± ¡°Namah samanta¡­¡± At this moment, the many Buddhas in the Hall of Great Strength actually chanted Buddhist scriptures at the same time. Buddhist light shone brightly from their bodies. All the Buddhist light finally condensed in the sky and formed a huge Buddha statue. It held a sword in its left hand and a pearl in its right. It continued to spread and reached the sky. It was ten thousand feet tall! The golden Buddha statue even suppressed the sunlight. The Buddhist light was like a sword, tearing through the darkness in the dense forest and illuminating everything. Countless demons hiding in the forest could not help but scream under the Buddhist light. They either fled with heavy injuries or wailed on the ground. Some demons with a weak cultivation base even turned into dust! The monks were all jolted awake. The abbot of Spirit Platform Temple, Hui Xin, and the other temple masters immediately rushed to the Hall of Great Strength. When they saw the Buddha statues chanting, they were extremely excited. ¡°Ten Thousand Buddhas chanting! Who is cultivating the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture? They have even cultivated it to the perfected realm!¡± A Great Grand Elder was so excited that tears streamed down his face. ¡°It¡¯s been a thousand years! The Immovable Wisdom King Scripture of the perfected realm has finally appeared in the mortal world! We¡¯re blessed by the Buddha! Amitabha!¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Everyone was shocked for a while before Abbot Hui Xin said, ¡°To be able to cultivate the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture to the perfected realm, the other party must be a senior monk of our Spirit Platform Temple. Perhaps, the other party might even be one of the existences from a thousand years ago!¡± ¡°Because without hundreds or thousands of years of bitter cultivation, it¡¯s absolutely impossible to cultivate the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture to this extent.¡± ¡°But almost all the seniors from a thousand years ago have died. Who is this senior?¡± Abbot Hui Xin shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s very difficult to find. An expert like him has long severed his ties with the mortal world and doesn¡¯t care about the affairs of the world. He naturally won¡¯t be willing to come out and meet us.¡± The head of the Fist Court could not help but sigh. ¡°Sigh! What a pity. If only I could know who this senior is. It¡¯s said that Dharma Master Zhi Shan of the Diamond Monastery will come out of seclusion in a few days and discuss the Buddhist scriptures with the temples.¡± ¡°If our senior can appear, Spirit Platform Temple will definitely be able to take the top spot!¡± Abbot Hui Xin¡¯s eyes flickered, but in the end, he only sighed. ¡°We can¡¯t force it! Disperse.¡± He slowly spoke. The disciples retreated, but the discussion was endless. From now on, Spirit Platform Temple would no longer be peaceful! ¡­ In the room, Li Xuanxin smiled. He succeeded! The Immovable Wisdom King Scripture at the 108th level of the perfected realm transformed into a huge dragon in his body. It constantly wandered through his meridians. Every time it traveled a Great Heavenly Cycle, it would make his cultivation stronger. ¡°The level of a cultivation technique determines the cultivation speed. I wonder how fast my cultivation speed is?¡± The cultivation of this world was divided into realms through years. At a thousand years, one was not afraid of the waves in the river. At two thousand years, flying through the mountains and exploring the seas was as easy as pie. At three thousand years, one was capable of flying in the sky and escaping under the ground, doing almost anything! At four thousand years, one could turn stone into gold. One could produce myriad Dharma Idols! At five thousand years, a thousand miles away, he could kill with a thought. At six thousand years, one would master the Lesser Mahayana Dragon Elephant. One could be reborn with a drop of blood. The Essence Soul could not be destroyed! At seven thousand years, one could control reincarnation, reverse Yin and Yang, heal the dead, and reconstruct flesh and bones! At eight thousand years, one would master the true Mahayana Dragon Elephant, roaming the four seas unhindered. No one could compare! At nine thousand years, one was an Earth Immortal. All techniques in the mortal world could not harm him! At ten thousand years, one underwent tribulation. The Dao Sect called it the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Mahayana Immortal Lord, while the Buddhist Sect called it the Great Freedom Arhat Fruit Position! They were all existences that transcended the mortal world and lived as long as the heavens. Li Xuanxin had not even started the proper cultivation yet. Everything had just begun. However, he already had the perfected Immovable Wisdom King Scripture. His future achievements should not be low. ¡°I wonder if I have any hope of becoming an Arhat in the future?¡± Li Xuanxin muttered and shook his head. Why was he thinking so much? Only by cultivating the heart could one attain the Bodhi Fruit! It was fine as long as he worked hard. He would leave the rest to the heavens. Because the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture at the perfected realm had already reached an extraordinary level and could cultivate on its own, Li Xuanxin did not need to continue meditating. After going out for a walk, he heard many monks talking about the ten thousand foot tall Buddha. Talks of the Dharma idol of the Golden Lotus on the ground shocked Li Xuanxin. He had actually caused such a huge commotion? Fortunately, no one discovered that he had done it. Li Xuanxin did not want his peaceful life to be disturbed. He only wanted to cultivate quietly and slowly increase his strength. He had to keep a low profile in the future. The surrounding disciples were still discussing what had happened, but Li Xuanxin was thinking about how to obtain merit next. He did not need to consider cultivating a cultivation technique. In any case, the Merit Golden Lotus could directly increase the cultivation technique to the perfected realm, so he only needed to think of a way to deal with the merit accumulation. Without merit, the Merit Golden Lotus could not be used. Merit was divided into big and small. He could treat illnesses and save individual lives, help people clear their minds and resolve their doubts, expiate the dead¡­ He could even recite Buddhist scriptures to eliminate the negative karma in the world. He could obtain merit, but it was very little. There were basically only one or two points. Suppressing demons and devils, saving the people, saving the country and saving the world, were big merits. However¡­ with his current cultivation base¡­ Well¡­ Forget it, he was not worthy. ¡°I should find Master first and let him give me more work like expiating souls in the future. I should be able to quickly obtain some merit.¡± Thinking of this, Li Xuanxin quickly found his master. He was reading the fortune of a madam. ¡°Your hands are a little rough. They¡¯re not as smooth as last time. You must have worked hard recently.¡± ¡°Master, you¡¯re very observant. Recently, I¡¯ve been taking on some odd jobs to subsidize my family. I often stay up late. My husband still has to¡­ always have fun, so I¡¯m a little tired and not in good spirits.¡± ¡°I see that your blood vitality is a little damaged. You have to rest. Women belong to the yin attribute. If you stay up too late, you will suffer from yin and yang deficiency. It will be easier to provoke ghosts and evil beings.¡± ¡°I have an empowered Safety Talisman here. Wearing it can ward off evil.¡± ¡°Thank you, Master.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t stand on ceremony, benefactor. That¡¯ll be ten copper coins for the Safety Talisman. You can put it in the Merit Box on the right. Next.¡± Li Xuanxin walked forward. ¡°Master.¡± Master Hui Jue glanced at him and picked up the tea beside him to take a sip. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°I want to go out with my senior brothers.¡± ¡°Pfft! Cough cough cough¡­¡± Master Hui Jue accidentally choked and said, ¡°No way.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°What do you think expiation is?¡± ¡°Expiation is to appease the hatred in the hearts of the dead vengeful spirits and ghosts, letting them put down their grudges and head to the Western Paradise.¡± ¡°Wrong! Wrong!¡± Hui Jue shook his head. ¡°Expiation is not about forgiveness. It¡¯s about fighting and killing!¡± Those vengeful spirits and ghosts had many injustices when they were alive. They were not well-educated and did not understand the reason. Their personalities were stiff and stubborn. When they were alive, they were only ordinary people. They could not do evil and could only tolerate it and be good people. After death, what would happen if they obtained spirit energy? ¡°Have you heard of a villain¡¯s comeback?¡± ¡°Without some skills, you still want to send them on their way? You¡¯ll become their food.¡± Li Xuanxin frowned. He did not expect expiation to be so dangerous. He thought that he only needed to recite the scriptures. However, on careful thought, it made sense. The essence of the Heavenly Dao was the survival of the fittest. It was almost impossible to expect the strong to listen to the weak. Moreover, even if there was, one in a hundred was already blessed by the Buddha. What about the remaining 99? Therefore, he still had to be capable. ¡°Then how far must I go before I can expiate the dead?¡± ¡°Yes! Let¡¯s talk about it after you cultivate for a year or two. After cultivating for a year or two, you can already cultivate a Buddhist cultivation technique and use Buddhist talismans and equipment to deal with ordinary vengeful spirits who have just died.¡± ¡°Alright, I understand.¡± Li Xuanxin bid farewell to his master and returned to his meditation room to cultivate again. However, he did not completely listen to his master. A year or two of cultivation could only deal with ordinary vengeful spirits that had just died. It also needed some cultivation techniques, equipment, talismans, and other external forces. If he encountered a slightly stronger vengeful spirit, wouldn¡¯t he be dead? In any case, as long as he accumulated enough merit, he could directly raise his cultivation technique to a certain level. He did not need to cultivate his cultivation technique every day like others. Therefore, there was no need to be in a hurry to achieve great merits. The Immovable Wisdom King Scripture, which had already been cultivated to the perfected realm, would cultivate on its own at all times. When his cultivation base reached a certain level, he would do some things like expiation and other great merits. Perfect plan! ¡­ Just like that, time passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed. Beside the waterfall at the back of Spirit Platform Temple, water poured down, splashing up mist. Beside the pool, the handsome Li Xuanxin ended his day of meditation and slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was like purple lightning, soul-stirring and alluring. The white monk robe that was damp from the mist clung to his body, revealing his well-defined muscles. ¡°The Immovable Wisdom King Scripture at the perfected realm is indeed powerful. In half a year, I broke through to 400 years of cultivation. On average, if I cultivate for a day, I can obtain more than two years of cultivation!¡± ¡°Even if I don¡¯t have any talismans or Dharma treasures, I should be able to protect myself now, right?¡± Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Li Xuanxin¡¯s lips curled up slightly. Indeed, strength was the most reassuring. ¡°Now that I have the cultivation, it¡¯s time to learn some cultivation techniques to subdue demons and devils.¡± It was only a simple cultivation base. Without a cultivation technique, it was not impossible to subdue demons and devils, but the power he could unleash was limited. For example, if you could punch with 500 kilograms of strength, if you only used your fist, you would still have 500 kilograms of strength. However, if you learned a cultivation technique, you could magnify five hundred kilograms to a thousand kilograms or even higher. Furthermore, it might consume even less True Qi. With this thought, Li Xuanxin arrived at the Sutra Pavilion. There were more people in the Sutra Pavilion today. However, many young monks were surrounding an old master and listening to him explain the Buddhist Sect¡¯s cultivation technique. ¡°Our Buddhist faction is divided into the Zen Sects and the Tantra Sects. The Diamond Monastery and the Shaolin Temple are the Tantra Sects that train the body. The Bodhi Temple and Spirit Platform Temple are the Zen Sects that cultivate the Dao.¡± ¡°Every temple has their own trump cards. Other than the Heart Sutra, there is also a sect-protecting combat technique.¡± ¡°For example, the Indestructible Golden Body of the Diamond Monastery, the Tathagata Divine Palm of the Shaolin Temple, the Thousand-Hand Buddha of the Bodhi Temple, and the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation of our Spirit Platform Temple. They are all famous treasure techniques to eliminate demons¡­¡± ¡°Master Hui Neng, which of the four top-notch combat techniques is stronger?¡± ¡°Hehehe¡­ Since ancient times, there has been no number one in literature or martial arts. Every cultivation technique has its own strengths and weaknesses. I can¡¯t say which is the best.¡± ¡°For example, the Indestructible Golden Body of the Diamond Monastery focuses on strengthening the body. It can strengthen the body to the extreme. It is immune to demons and devils. All evil will retreat when cultivated to the perfected realm. It¡¯s said that with just a drop of blood, one can be revived!¡± ¡°Gasp!¡± The young monks could not help but gasp in shock. ¡°Master Hui Neng, what about our Spirit Platform Temple¡¯s Immovable Wisdom King Incantation?¡± ¡°My Spirit Platform Temple¡¯s Immovable Wisdom King Incantation is also an extremely powerful method to subdue demons and devils! It has the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Mantra!¡± Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Nine Words True Sun Technique! Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Flame World Incantation! Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Devil Subduing Incantation! Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Devastation Curse! Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Mercy Incantation! Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Praise! Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Mental Curse! From subduing demons and devils to driving away calamity and blessing, from capturing and sealing to saving all living beings, there was everything. ¡°As for which is stronger, I can¡¯t say for sure. However, it¡¯s said that if you can learn the Four Great Heart Sutras and the four major cultivation techniques of the Buddhist Sect, you will be able to comprehend a supreme Buddhist technique. Its power is endless and can surpass any cultivation technique in the Great Zhou!¡± ¡°Gasp~ Then can we cultivate?¡± ¡°Of course. As long as you¡¯re a disciple of my Spirit Platform Temple, you can cultivate it. However, the problem is that the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation is a profound martial technique. It¡¯s as difficult as ascending to the heavens to learn it.¡± The old man had been in Spirit Platform Temple for more than forty years. His potential was not bad and he had only cultivated to the tenth level. He could only be considered a novice. ¡°It¡¯s better for you children to cultivate some ordinary punches, kicks, blades, and swords. You have a greater chance of success!¡± ¡°Wow, so difficult.¡± ¡°Of course. Cultivation is like ascending to the heavens. You can only study diligently.¡± There were ten major realms in the path of cultivation. River Realm, Mountain Sea Realm, Firmament Realm, Creation Realm, Universe Realm, Lesser Mahayana Dragon Elephant, Reincarnation Realm, Mahayana Dragon Elephant, Earth Immortal, and Mahayana Immortal Lord! The first thousand years of cultivation could only be considered to have established a foundation. After a thousand years of cultivation, one could step into the River Realm. After that, every thousand years of cultivation was a major realm! If he wanted to become an immortal, he had to cultivate for ten thousand years, let alone transcend the Nine Heavens Tribulation! The potential of the people in the world was limited. In their lives, if they could reach the River Realm, it would already be the blessing of the Buddha. ¡°I¡¯ve cultivated for more than forty years and have already reached the ninth level of the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture. However, I only have more than 120 years of cultivation base!¡± Everyone sighed again. Although Li Xuanxin knew his cultivation base, he still sighed when he heard it. Only after reaching a thousand years of cultivation could he be considered to have stepped into the River Realm. After that, he could only break through a realm every thousand years. After ten thousand years, he could transcend the tribulation and become an immortal. It seemed that he had to work harder! However, he was more interested in the supreme Buddhist technique formed by the four great cultivation techniques! The number one in the world¡­ was very tempting! He found the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation and imprinted it on the Merit Golden Lotus. ¡°Merit Golden Lotus, consume 70,000 merit points to increase the level of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation!¡± The merit points quickly dissipated, and the level of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation continued to increase. In the blink of an eye, he successfully broke through to the tenth level. Unfortunately, he did not have enough merit to break through to the 108th level. It didn¡¯t matter. One had to learn to be satisfied. He had already reached the 108th level of the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture. How many people in the world could do it? He would continue to accumulate merit. Li Xuanxin had a good mentality. Previously, he was only an ordinary person and could still accumulate so much merit. Now that he had a cultivation base, he could obtain merit faster. Perhaps in the future, the merit he accumulated would allow him to instantly learn the secret techniques of the other Buddhist sects. He had to work harder, amitabha! ¡°Senior, if you¡¯re done, can you show me the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation?¡± At this moment, a junior walked forward nervously. Li Xuanxin handed him the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation. ¡°Take it.¡± ¡°Thank you, Senior.¡± Then, he brought the cultivation technique and went to study it with his friends. Li Xuanxin did not spend all 80,000 merit points on the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation. If he went down the mountain to carry out some missions, he would inevitably have to run errands. He had to cultivate some movement techniques for himself. Otherwise, no matter how strong his combat strength was, it would be tiring to run. However, there was one thing. In terms of combat techniques, the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation was indeed a good thing. However, in terms of movement techniques, Spirit Platform Temple really had nothing to show. Shaolin Temple had the Water Floating Technique and Bodhi Temple had the Buddhist Light Escape Technique. They were all famous movement techniques. They were comparable to the Daoist¡¯s Six Armor Divine Movement, Grand Unity Divine Steps, and Yin-Yang Escape Technique¡­ This might be related to the Buddha of Spirit Platform Temple. The Immovable Wisdom King was too lazy to move himself. What good movement technique did they expect from his inheritance? It was already very good to have one. In the end, Li Xuanxin chose the movement technique, Flying Steps. After imprinting it, he expended a thousand merit points and directly raised it to the twelfth level. It couldn¡¯t be helped. Spirit Platform Temple¡¯s movement techniques were really trash! This Flying Steps movement technique only had a total of twelve levels. With 1,000 merit points, he directly raised it to the max. It was a movement technique after all. It was faster than running. When he had the chance in the future, he would see if he could learn the Buddhist Light Escape Technique of the Bodhi Temple or the Water Floating Technique of the Shaolin Temple. He had to use the Flying Steps movement technique for now. After learning the cultivation technique, Li Xuanxin began to look for his master, Master Hui Jue, to arrange missions like purifying vengeful spirits. Six months passed. He had cultivated for half a year! It was time to go out and show off. Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡­ At the entrance of Spirit Platform Temple, Master Hui Jue was still reading people¡¯s fortunes. ¡°Master, I¡¯ve been having nightmares recently. I don¡¯t know why.¡± ¡°Have you been going to Fireworks Lane recently?¡± ¡°Master is really amazing. To be honest, recently¡­ I¡¯ve indeed fallen in love with a brothel hostess, so I often go and have fun.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a dangerous place. You¡¯re a scholar and your physique is weak. If you don¡¯t restrain yourself and empty your body of Yang Qi, you¡¯ll have nightmares. If you¡¯re tainted by something sinister, you¡¯ll probably lose your life.¡± The scholar¡¯s forehead, which was already a little dark, seemed to be even darker now. He hurriedly asked, ¡°Master, is there a way to save me?¡± ¡°I can give you an empowered Heart Cleansing Incantation. Recite it often and it can expel the evil aura in your body. Don¡¯t go to the Fireworks Lane anymore. As time passes, your physique will gradually improve and you will naturally recover.¡± ¡°Thank you, Master Hui Jue.¡± ¡°No need to thank me. The blessing is free, but the Heart Cleansing Incantation costs 100 copper coins. You can put it in the Merit Box on the right. Next.¡± Li Xuanxin walked forward. ¡°Master, I¡¯ve already reached two years of cultivation base.¡± ¡°Oh! You¡¯ve reached two years of cultivation base so quickly. You¡¯ve only cultivated for half a year!¡± Hui Jue was rather surprised. Li Xuanxin¡¯s cultivation speed was not very fast. It was only considered average in Spirit Platform Temple. The problem was that he was useless before. Now that he had reached two years of cultivation base in half a year, he seemed to be very talented. In that case, he could cultivate four years of cultivation base in a year, forty in ten years, and four hundred years of cultivation base in a hundred years. Good lord, this kid¡¯s future was limitless! Perhaps in the future, he might even have a chance to surpass him. After all, he was 70 years old now. He had entered the sect at the age of ten and had only 250 years of cultivation base. Fortunately, he did not let him renounce asceticism back then. Otherwise, he would have lost a decent mid-level genius. ¡°I¡¯m stupid. It¡¯s all because Master taught me well.¡± Hui Jue narrowed his eyes and smiled. ¡°This is also thanks to your hard work. Since you¡¯ve already broken through to two years of cultivation base, go to the mission room and accept some missions.¡± ¡°They will give you Dharma treasures and talismans.¡± ¡°After completing the mission, you can obtain some resources like pills to help you increase your cultivation.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Li Xuanxin turned to leave, but Hui Jue called out to him. ¡°Wait.¡± Then, he removed the bracelet from his hand and looked at it reluctantly. ¡°This bracelet has been with me for more than twenty years. It listens to me recite scriptures all day long and already has a Buddhist nature. It¡¯s much stronger than ordinary Dharma treasures. ¡°If you encounter a ghost, it can save your life.¡± ¡°Thank you, Master.¡± ¡°Go. You might be nervous and make mistakes the first time. You just have to calm down.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Li Xuanxin bid farewell to his master and quickly arrived at the mission room. ¡°Hello, I want to take a mission.¡± A senior from the mission room quickly welcomed him. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s Junior Xuanxin from Abbot Hui Jue¡¯s tutelage. What¡¯s your cultivation base now?¡± ¡°Two years.¡± ¡°With two years of cultivation, you can accept some ordinary missions. Is this your first time accepting a mission?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°If this is your first time accepting a mission, I suggest that you ask a senior to teach you, but the mission reward is his.¡± ¡°This way, you can learn faster. Furthermore, the senior brothers are basically all around ten years of cultivation base. It is relatively safe.¡± ¡°After all, expiation is usually very simple. However, if you encounter trouble, you will die.¡± ¡°No need. My master gave me a life-saving Dharma treasure. I can go by myself.¡± Ten years of cultivation base was equivalent to him cultivating for five days. He had to give them resources too? This¡­ was probably absurd. ¡°Alright, come and collect the mission equipment and talismans.¡± Li Xuanxin took a basket. It was the kind of bamboo basket that scholars carried in the dramas in his previous life. There was a small awning above his head. It looked quite unique. The basket on his back could contain some vegetarian food and water. There was also a brass alms bowl equipment, a brass wooden fish equipment with peach wood, a string of peach wood prayer beads, and three talismans to subdue demons and ghosts. After carrying these things and taking the address, Li Xuanxin began to leave. After leaving Spirit Platform Temple and seeing that there was no one around, he immediately used his Flying Steps movement technique. Although his movement technique was not good, his speed was impressive. He felt like a small car running at 70 to 80 kilometers per hour. Furthermore, his jumping ability was also very high. He could easily switch between trees and boulders. However, in fact, Li Xuanxin knew very well that it was mainly because his cultivation was very high and had already reached 400 years of cultivation base. As the saying went, immense strength alone could defeat all techniques. Even if the quality of his movement technique was not high, with his deep cultivation, he could far surpass others who used it. If others used this, they might only be able to reach a speed of more than 20 kilometers per hour. It was about the speed of a normal person riding a bicycle. It was just that it was a movement technique, so it was not that tiring. With the help of Flying Steps, Li Xuanxin traversed mountains and rivers like an immortal walking on the wind. After running for nearly four hours, he arrived at the mission location¡ªChen Family Village. This was all thanks to his movement technique. He could fly on roofs and walk on walls. He tried his best to take a straight path. If he were to drive and find a road, he would probably only reach at night. Li Xuanxin had just arrived at the Chen Family Village when he was warmly welcomed by the villagers. In this world of sinister demons, righteous cultivators like Li Xuanxin always made people feel inexplicably at ease, epecially when he was from the Buddhist Sect. However, because of his looks, there were still some strange looks in the crowd. A teenage girl had just fallen in love and was peeping shyly. A middle-aged woman did not have so many worries. She drooled and her eyes were like hungry wolves. She wished she could skin Li Xuanxin alive. A monk¡­ could actually be so handsome. ¡°Oh, Buddha, if I can obtain the love of this monk, I will be willing to become a nun.¡± ¡°Master is here. Welcome, Master. Our Chen Family Village has been waiting for a long time.¡± The person who spoke was the village chief of the Chen Family Village, a middle-aged man in his forties. Li Xuanxin nodded. Although he was young, he was like a peerless monk. ¡°Where is the benefactor who needs to be expiated?¡± ¡°Master, you¡¯ve been traveling all the way. Do you want to eat some vegetarian food and rest before expiating the soul?¡± ¡°No need. Just bring me there.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± As the village chief led Li Xuanxin forward, he said, ¡°The one who needs to be expiated is the daughter-in-law of Official Li, the richest man in our village.¡± ¡°Because her husband had found a second wife in the Blue Sea City and was unwilling to accept her, she had jumped into the well in a red dress in a fit of anger.¡± ¡°She jumped into the well in the middle of the night and when she pulled it up the next day, she was already bloated¡­ Oh goodness, ugh~!¡± The village chief clearly thought of something bad and retched. Then, he hurriedly patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°In the past few days, several young men have died in the family of Official Li.¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°If the other party is targeting the Li family, why didn¡¯t they leave?¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t they leave? Unfortunately, it was useless. Early the next morning, when the first person died, a nephew of Official Li followed his wife to her maiden home twenty miles away to avoid trouble. But guess what? That night, he was hung at the door of Official Li¡¯s house.¡± ¡°In the past few days, the Li family has also invited many Dharma Masters, but no one has come out alive.¡± Li Xuanxin sighed slightly. It seemed that this ghost was very fierce. ¡­ The two of them quickly arrived at Official Li¡¯s residence. There were two white lanterns hanging at the door and some white paper money scattered on the ground. It looked especially terrifying. ¡°Master, this is it. I¡¯ll call for help.¡± The village leader looked into the mansion fearfully and shouted, ¡°Official Li, the Master is here. Aren¡¯t you going to come out and welcome him?¡± Not long after, Official Li, who had a pair of panda eyes, walked out in a daze. Seeing Li Xuanxin, his red eyes were about to cry. He staggered two steps and arrived in front of Li Xuanxin. He knelt down. ¡°Master, you have to save us! If this continues, our entire family won¡¯t be able to survive.¡± Li Xuanxin consoled, ¡°Amitabha. Don¡¯t worry.¡± The village chief reminded, ¡°Official Li, aren¡¯t you going to invite the Master in?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Master, please.¡± After entering the courtyard, Official Li pointed at the mourning hall and said with a trembling voice, ¡°Master, she has been staying in the mourning hall. We don¡¯t dare to go in.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. Wait here. I¡¯ll go in and take a look.¡± Li Xuanxin stepped into the hall. Boom¡ª! Just as he stepped into the hall, the next second, the door closed on its own, scaring everyone outside. ¡°Village chief, can this master do it? Why do I feel that he¡¯s very young?¡± The village chief wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be¡­ any problem, right? Many masters have been cultivating the Buddhist Dharma since they were young. Although they look young, their cultivation shouldn¡¯t be shallow.¡± In the mourning hall, the door closed heavily, but Li Xuanxin was expressionless. He, who had more than four hundred years of cultivation, had long seen through the other party¡¯s tricks. He came to the coffin and looked inside. A dead woman in red lay quietly inside. Perhaps because it had been too long, her bloated body had returned to normal. However, in this June weather, after dying for so long, there was no stench. A black aura circled around her body. The resentment was too strong! Tick¡­ tick¡­ There, a woman in red was standing upside down. Her skin was pale and she wore a wet red robe and long black hair. She severely violated the law of gravity and floated in the air as if she was in water. ¡°So¡­ so handsome¡­¡± The moment the female ghost saw his face, she could not help but be stunned. Li Xuanxin said calmly, ¡°Amitabha. Since you¡¯ve already passed away, you should be buried in peace. Why do you still want to stay in the mortal world?¡± The female ghost came back to her senses. She spun around and slowly floated towards Li Xuanxin. Her pale face began to reveal a sinister expression. ¡°I¡¯m not resigned! I joined the Li family since I was young and became a married woman who showed filial piety and respect to my in-laws. In the end, I was abandoned. I want the entire Li family to be buried with me and let that heartless person suffer for the rest of his life.¡± The surrounding air fluctuated with her mood, and it became colder. The tables and chairs even began to tremble slightly. ¡°Amitabha. The person who betrayed you is your husband. Your in-laws have no ill intentions towards you. Why do you want to implicate the innocent?¡± ¡°If you kill them, you will also fall into the endless hell and suffer punishment for eternity.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not too late to stop now.¡± The ghost retorted, ¡°So what? If you want to blame someone, blame them for raising that heartless person!¡± ¡°I want to kill all the Li family members and let them live in pain forever.¡± ¡°If you stop me, don¡¯t blame me for being impolite!¡± Killing intent filled the air, and the temperature in the entire room seemed to have decreased by several degrees. Li Xuanxin sighed slightly. ¡°As a Buddhist disciple, I naturally can¡¯t watch you harm others.¡± ¡°You¡¯re courting death! Don¡¯t think that just because you¡¯re good-looking that I won¡¯t hit you! If you dare to stop me, I¡¯ll still kill you!¡± In the mourning hall, a violent wind suddenly blew. The female ghost¡¯s teeth protruded and her ten nails extended like steel claws as she pounced at Li Xuanxin. The Immovable Wisdom King Scripture circulated on its own and formed a golden protective shield around Li Xuanxin, firmly guarding him and isolating him from the female ghost. ¡°Why?¡± Li Xuanxin clasped his hands and raised his index fingers. He pressed his two thumbs against the edge on his ring finger and directly activated the first fundamental seal of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation¡ªSingle Seal. ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± The moment the seal appeared, the room shone brightly. A supreme power instantly bombarded the female ghost. She did not even have time to scream before her soul dissipated. The seal was too strong and even dispersed the Yin Qi in the entire hall. It was domineering and unreasonable. The violent wind in the entire room instantly vanished without a trace. Everything returned to silence. Li Xuanxin was silent for a moment. Could a hundred years of cultivation base kill the ghost completely? The first time he attacked, his strength was too strong. He could not control it! ¡°Amitabha. A monk does not lie. I only used a hundred years of cultivation to execute this move. It¡¯s considered very light and not lying to Official Li.¡± With a light cough, Li Xuanxin took away a hint of evil aura from Chen Jinlian and left. Official Li, the village chief, and the others were overjoyed to see Li Xuanxin walk out unscathed. ¡°Master!¡± ¡°The first few were either dead or injured. Master can actually come out unscathed. His Dharmic powers are really powerful!¡± ¡°Chen Jinlian has already been expiated by me. You can choose a good day to bury her.¡± Everyone was even more delighted. ¡°Master is really powerful!¡± Official Li heaved a sigh of relief. The gloominess of the past few days was immediately swept away. ¡°Jinlian was also suffering. My Li family has let her down. I hope that she can find a good family in her next life. Master, this is ten taels of silver. It¡¯s the good silver of my Li family. I¡¯ll deposit it in the Merit Box.¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome. We¡¯ll meet again if fate allows.¡± ¡°Take care, Master.¡± Li Xuanxin bowed again, carried her bamboo basket, and left the Li family. However, before leaving the Li family¡¯s ancestral mansion, Li Xuanxin let go of the evil aura in his sleeve. ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± With a move of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation¡¯s Devastation Curse, it mixed with this evil aura and headed straight for the Blue Sea City. Every injustice had its perpetrator! The one who caused all of this was Official Li¡¯s son. She was not killed by him, but died because of him. Now that he had taken a few lives, he had committed a heavy sin. He would spend the rest of his life surrounded by sores. It was a fate worse than death. [Punished the scumbag. Merit +44.] Hearing this voice, Li Xuanxin was stunned and did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was originally something he had done on the spot. He did not expect it to also be considered merit! However, on careful thought, punishing evil and promoting good was merit, and punishing evil was also merit. Because of his lust for women, Official Li¡¯s son had caused the deaths of several people. It was not an exaggeration to call him a villain. It seemed that the sages were right. ¡®Don¡¯t be reluctant to do a small good deed, and don¡¯t ignore a small bad deed!¡¯ Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Namo Amitabha!¡± Li Xuanxin chanted the Buddhist scripture and felt enlightened. He continued forward. Soon, Li Xuanxin returned to Spirit Platform Temple with the bamboo basket. His master, Hui Jue, sat at the entrance. At this moment, the shadow of the West Mountain was getting closer and closer. There were almost no visitors. He also had a rare moment of peace. Beside him was a young novice monk who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old. He had red lips and white teeth and looked a little scholarly. ¡°Eh, Xuanxin is back.¡± ¡°Master.¡± Li Xuanxin bowed with his hand raised. Hui Jue patted the little monk beside him. ¡°Xuan Mu, this is the senior I told you about just now. Xuanxin, this child just became my disciple today and can be considered your junior.¡± Xuan Mu immediately stood up and bowed to Xuanxin, ¡°Xuan Mu greets Senior Xuanxin.¡± Li Xuanxin answered indifferently, ¡°You¡¯re welcome, Junior.¡± Hui Jue interrupted. ¡°Xuanxin, your Junior Xuan Mu is a descendant of the Lin family of Blue Sea City. Because of an accident in the Lin family, he entered our sect. Although he¡¯s your junior, his cultivation is not bad. He already has ten years of cultivation base. In the future, you can interact with him in cultivation.¡± Li Xuanxin nodded. ¡°Master, Junior Xuan Mu, I still have a mission to complete. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± ¡°Alright, go ahead.¡± Li Xuanxin bowed to Hui Jue and walked to the Merit Box to throw in the good silver. He did not keep the ingot of silver that Official Li had secretly given him. He also donated it to the Merit Box. However, the Merit Golden Lotus did not increase his merit. It seemed that donating to the Buddhist Sect would not give merit. Only by doing good for the living beings of the world would there be a chance to increase merit. Chanting scriptures and reciting Buddhist scriptures to eliminate negative karma in the world was for the good. Saving living beings was also for the good. ¡­ These were all to increase good deeds in the world and maintain righteousness. Donating money to the Buddhist Sect was only to contribute to the Buddhist faction alone. The Buddhist Sects guided people to good, but it was not good itself. It seemed that the Merit Golden Lotus did not only concern the Buddhist faction. Did that mean that it could also cultivate the cultivation techniques of other sects? When he became stronger in the future, he might be able to try. More than a hundred merit points could not help him increase the level of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation. It was better to submit the mission first and then receive some new missions. Arriving at the mission room, Li Xuanxin submitted the mission. The disciple in charge of dealing with it could not help but say in surprise, ¡°Eh, Junior Xuanxin, you did it so quickly?¡± ¡°It¡¯s Buddha¡¯s blessing. I was lucky. I want to take on some more missions, preferably a few at once.¡± ¡°There are many missions recently, but I don¡¯t recommend that you go out these few days.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Li Xuanxin was a little puzzled. The other party explained again, ¡°These few days, the Demon Cult caused a bit of chaos. The disciples who go out now will be in danger.¡± ¡°Is that so? Alright then.¡± Since there was danger outside, it was better to stay for two days. Anyway, he had already endured for half a year, so he was not in a hurry. Since he had nothing to do, he came to the Sutra Pavilion again. Not only were there cultivation techniques in the Sutra Pavilion, but there were also some historical records about this world. Living in this world, he naturally had to know more about it. Just as he arrived at the Sutra Pavilion, Li Xuanxin saw Uncle-Master Hui Neng again who was explaining to the new disciples. He felt that Uncle-Master Hui Neng might like the feeling of being worshiped by his disciples. ¡°¡­This Three Deities Sect has been around for a long time. Their formation also involves a shocking matter from a thousand years ago!¡± ¡°Legend had it that a thousand years ago, the Three Realms of demons, devils, and ghosts invaded the mortal world. They each sent a general and forced the mortal world to retreat step by step. Countless humans were slaughtered and history called the chaos of Middle Earth!¡± ¡°At that time, the humans were weak. In order to survive, some humans chose to be the lackeys of the Three Realms and helped them slaughter the humans.¡± ¡°We call them the Three Great Demon Cults, while they call themselves the Three Deities Sect¡­¡± ¡°This Three Deities Sect is really a bunch of scum!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. If I encounter the scum of the Three Deities Sect, I¡¯ll definitely kill them with the Arhat Fist!¡± Everyone was indignant. One of the young monks could not help but ask, ¡°But why would the people of the Three Deities Sect kill our disciples? If they only want to cultivate evil techniques and need to kill, there are too many people in this world. The Buddhist faction has more than one Spirit Platform Temple.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a good question.¡± Hui Neng spoke again. ¡°A thousand years ago, the chaos in Middle Earth caused the Human Race to be ravaged. In the end, the Great Zhou Imperial Court joined forces with the various sects to suppress the forces of the Three Realms in a foreign space under the Black Water River.¡± ¡°The strength of the Three Realms was suppressed. The Demon Cult forces that relied on the Three Realms were suppressed or even eliminated without any backing.¡± ¡°Among the three founding ancestors of the Three Deities Sect, the Blood Fiend Ancestor was suppressed in my Spirit Platform Temple!¡± ¡°Therefore, the disciples of the Three Deities Sect targeted our Spirit Platform Temple.¡± ¡°It was said that the other two sects that suppressed the Three Deities Sect¡¯s ancestor, the Goddess Palace and the Heavenly Sword Sect, had also had disciples killed recently. It was probably also done by the disciples of the Three Deities Sect.¡± ¡°It¡¯s very likely that they want to save the three ancestors.¡± ¡°Then why don¡¯t we kill these three Demon Cult ancestors? Wouldn¡¯t it be fine if we killed them?¡± ¡°How can it be that easy?¡± Master Hui Neng sighed. ¡°They are all peak experts who have cultivated the Demon, Devil, and Ghost Dao and have been personally taught by the experts of the Three Realms. They have long stepped into the Creation Realm and their Essence Souls have reached a phenomenal stage. They have also fused with the evil technique itself.¡± ¡°As long as they passed down the evil technique, even if they died, as long as someone cultivated their evil technique, they will never die.¡± ¡°If we completely kill them, they might be reincarnated elsewhere. Only by suppressing their Essence Souls can we ensure that they won¡¯t escape.¡± ¡°Gasp! It¡¯s actually so terrifying.¡± ¡°Therefore, as disciples, we have to cultivate the Buddhist Dharma diligently. If the demon is lucky enough to appear in the future, we can also do our best for the world.¡± When Li Xuanxin heard this, he could not help but be shocked. He did not expect the Great Zhou to have such a secret history. He had never read about this in books. Perhaps the Great Zhou Imperial Family did not want to blow this matter up to prevent the people from panicking. However, Li Xuanxin heard something else. It was impossible for the disciples of the Three Deities Sect to only want to save the three founding ancestors. Although the three of them were already great demons, their strength was not too monstrous. They were definitely inferior to the experts of the Three Realms. If it was filial piety, it was even more ridiculous. The filial piety of the Demon Sect disciples was not only rotten, but were probably moldy. The reason why they wanted to save the three founding ancestors was to use them to break through the seal of the Black Water River and release the experts of the Three Realms? If that was the case, this world would probably not be peaceful. It seemed that he had to hurry up and increase his cultivation. Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After reading for half a day, Li Xuanxin came to the waterfall at the back of the mountain again and cultivated in peace. After cultivating the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture to the perfected realm, it could already circulate on its own. However, if he circulated it personally, its cultivation speed would be faster. This way, his cultivation speed would increase much faster. Li Xuanxin still had to practice the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation. Although he had already obtained the technique, it was still a headache. Previously, in the Chen Family Village, Official Li had asked him to be gentle. He had used a hundred years of cultivation, but he had instantly beaten Chen Jinlian until her soul dissipated. The main reason was that his cultivation level increased too quickly and he lacked combat experience. Therefore, he did not know how much strength he could use and how much damage he could cause. The Immovable Wisdom King Incantation was divided into the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation Mantra, Nine Words True Sun Technique, Flame World Incantation, Devil Subduing Incantation, Devastation Curse, Mercy Incantation, Praise, and Mental Curse. To activate the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation, he needed a unique seal to complement the mantra. The seals were divided into the Immovable Foundation Seal¡ªSingle Seal, Treasure Mountain Seal, Head Seal, Eye Seal, Mouth Seal, Heart Seal, Armor Seal, Lion¡¯s Speed Seal, Flame Seal, and Flame Wheel Seal. Every seal had its own strengths. For example, the Single Seal was to clasp both hands. The two index fingers would be bent vertically and press down on the ring finger with two thumbs. The Treasure Mountain Seal became a two-handed binding, with two thumbs in his palms. The Head Seal used both hands as fists. His right fist was raised and his left fist covered it¡­ The power and effect of the various seals were also different. ¡­ ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± With the seal combined with the mantra, Li Xuanxin activated the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Flame World Incantation! In an instant, a huge flame exploded into the waterfall. Boom¡ª! With an explosion, the hundred-meter-long waterfall was broken at the waist. Fog filled the air. A moment later, half of the waterfall fell with a boom, causing another explosion. ¡°This time, I only used fifty years of cultivation, but I can still unleash such a huge attack. It seems that what determines the strength of the attack is not only cultivation, but also the difference in the seal of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation.¡± ¡°The Flame World Incantation is an offensive technique. Compared to some seals, it is slightly better. At the same cultivation level, it can unleash more offensive effects.¡± ¡°I wonder how powerful the strongest Nine Words True Sun Technique in the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation is?¡± However, he did not continue practicing because he could already sense some figures rushing over. Li Xuanxin heaved a sigh of relief and left. Not long after he left, a few figures appeared outside the pool. ¡°Amitabha, what a huge mist. The aura of the Flame World Incantation remains in the air. Could it be that someone was using it here?¡± ¡°To think that he can create such a huge mist. The other party¡¯s Flame World Incantation is extraordinary.¡± ¡°Recently, has our Spirit Platform Temple been protected by the Buddha? There are actually some experts appearing one after another.¡± Everyone was amazed, but Li Xuanxin had already appeared five kilometers away. ¡°In Spirit Platform Temple, it¡¯s very inconvenient to do things. It seems that in the future, if I want to test my cultivation technique, it¡¯s better to choose when I¡¯m on a mission and leaving the sect.¡± Li Xuanxin was not afraid that others would harm him. He was a disciple of Spirit Platform Temple. With such talent, he would only be taken care of by the elders in the temple. However, the problem was that he had been trash for the past few years. If his cultivation suddenly increased, he might be regarded as a Buddha Child. At that time, who could guarantee that the geniuses of the other monasteries would not want to compete with him? Moreover, if the righteous path would not harm him, what about the demonic path? Perhaps one day, he would become a legend in the martial world¡ªBuddha Child Li Xuanxin, the first generation Arhat, was killed by the evil disciples of the Three Deities Sect. His head was separated from his body and his vital organ was chopped off¡­ To wear a crown, one had to shoulder its weight! Li Xuanxin did not want to find so much trouble for himself. It was better to be a little monk and stay safe. At this moment, Li Xuanxin, who was walking, suddenly stopped. His eyes moved slightly and the Armor Seal was activated. A faint golden light enveloped his body. ¡°Come out.¡± With a faint word, the grass in front rustled and a fiery red fox ran out. Li Xuanxin was stunned and immediately removed the Armor Seal. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± It was the little fox he had saved half a year ago. He had thought that it was from the Demon Cult. However, on careful thought, this was the territory of Spirit Platform Temple. No matter how arrogant the people of the Demon Cult were, they would not dare to come here. The little fox came to Li Xuanxin¡¯s feet and rubbed his pants affectionately, letting out a happy cry. Li Xuanxin squatted down and stroked its head. ¡°Little fox, why did you suddenly think of looking for me?¡± The little fox circled around him and looked in the direction of the forest, letting out two fox cries. Li Xuanxin thought for a moment and asked, ¡°You want me to go with you?¡± The little fox nodded excitedly and jumped around Li Xuanxin. Li Xuanxin said, ¡°I can¡¯t run too far. There are bad people outside now. I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t win.¡± The little fox nodded again, and Li Xuanxin followed it. The man and the fox quickly arrived in the depths of the forest. This place was uninhabited and filled with vegetation. The little fox traveled freely in the forest. Li Xuanxin had a movement technique, so he naturally walked like the wind. Soon, Li Xuanxin was brought to a cave by the little fox. Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Although it was a cave, he could smell a fragrance in the air. Clearly, there was a rare treasure hidden in the cave. ¡°There¡¯s a treasure in this cave?¡± The little fox nodded again. With a thought, Li Xuanxin held the Armor Seal and stepped in. With a rare treasure appearing, there might be demon beasts guarding him. He had to be careful. The cave was very deep and the tunnel was long and narrow. Some snakes and insects as thick as a baby¡¯s arm could be vaguely seen inside. However, Li Xuanxin had the Armor Seal protecting him. The aura of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation made these snakes and insects not dare to approach. Instead, they retreated. In the depths of the cave, there were fewer snakes and insects. Instead, there were more grass and flowers that were full of life. Furthermore, there was a faint five-colored light spreading out from within. The fragrance in the air was even more overwhelming. When he arrived at the deepest part of the cave, Li Xuanxin was shocked. ¡°Five-Colored Lotus! It¡¯s actually a Five-Colored Lotus!¡± In the world, all things grew. Other than most mortal things, there were also some rare treasures. They were born extraordinary. They could absorb the essence of the world and temper themselves. One day, they could also escape their shackles and transform into human form. The power of the wind and clouds could travel the sky. The Five-Colored Lotus was one of them. It was not born with five colors. At first, it was only one color, but then it became two or three¡­ It was said that it could increase to nine colors at most. The first color only needed three hundred years to grow. The second was six hundred years, the third was nine hundred years¡­ Five colors meant 1,500 years! No one could tell how much essence of the world was contained in a 1,500-year-old Five-Colored Lotus. However, if he ate it, his cultivation level would definitely increase by leaps and bounds. ¡°You brought me here specially to let me eat it?¡± The little fox nodded. Li Xuanxin¡¯s heart warmed slightly as he stroked its little head. ¡°Thank you.¡± The little fox rubbed his hand affectionately. Li Xuanxin took a deep breath and looked at the Five-Colored Lotus. A 1,500-year-old Five-Colored Lotus like this had already surpassed ordinary plants. If his cultivation level was not high enough, he would not have the strength to pluck it. Otherwise, it would have long been swallowed by some snake or beast. However, all of this was not a big problem for Li Xuanxin. As soon as the Single Seal appeared, the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation Mantra was immediately activated. ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± With one move, the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation directly broke through the Five-Colored Lotus¡¯s protective aura and removed it. With the Five-Colored Lotus in hand, a cold feeling immersed his skin, making Li Xuanxin¡¯s mind clearer. He took a petal from the Five-Colored Lotus and handed it to the little fox. It immediately ate it excitedly. As for him, he sat down cross-legged and swallowed the remaining part of the Five-Colored Lotus. The perfected Immovable Wisdom King Scripture circulated and the Immovable Wisdom King Dharma idol appeared. Golden light shone in all directions, illuminating the entire cave. Li Xuanxin, who was below the Dharma idol, did not have to worry about anyone¡¯s sneak attack. Unless the other party was stronger than him, he could not break through this Dharma idol. The little fox looked at Li Xuanxin¡¯s Dharma idol curiously and circled around him. However, as time passed and Li Xuanxin did not wake up, it lost interest. It curled up by Li Xuanxin¡¯s legs and began to fall asleep. The effect of the petal also began to take effect in its body. ¡­ In a daze, Li Xuanxin seemed to have entered a dream. In the dream, he became a peerless sword immortal! He stood in the air, holding an immortal sword! In front of him were billions of demons, and behind him were the humans. Was he poisoned? Treasures like the Five-Colored Lotus not only had energy, but also some special abilities. Perhaps it was poison, or something else. Li Xuanxin had reached the 108th level of the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture. He had a firm temperament and would not have such ridiculous dreams. The only explanation was that the Five-Colored Lotus had some special effect that made him have such a strange dream. After an unknown period of time, when Li Xuanxin refined the Five-Colored Lotus, the dream completely vanished. He slowly opened his eyes. The little fox beside him was still sleeping and would mutter like a baby from time to time. It was filled with warmth and was clearly dreaming. It seemed that the little fox could not avoid the special effect of the Five-Colored Lotus. Li Xuanxin checked his cultivation base and was pleasantly surprised to find that it had already broken through to 808 years. Previously, his cultivation base was 401 years. Now, it had increased by 407 years. Four hundred years should have been given to him by the Five-Colored Lotus. The rest were obtained from his cultivation over the past few days. The increase in cultivation brought by natural treasures was not determined by how many years it existed. This was because it did not have a cultivation technique and only absorbed the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth. It might take several years to cultivate for a year. This was also the reason why humans were called the ¡®Spirit of All Things¡¯. Humans had short lifespans, but their cultivation speed was much faster than other foreign races! ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this dream to increase my cultivation by 400 years. The Five-Colored Lotus is indeed extraordinary.¡± Li Xuanxin then placed his hand on the little fox and used the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture to help it catalyze the effect of the Five-Colored Lotus. It might take many years for the little fox to refine it alone. However, with Li Xuanxin¡¯s help, it completely refined all the petals of the Five-Colored Lotus in just half a day. Its body also grew from a small red ball of fire. It was half a meter tall and its entire body was covered in fiery red fur that fluttered in the wind. There was a hint of mystery in its beauty. The awakened little fox started acting spoiled again and rubbed against Li Xuanxin¡¯s feet. Its huge red tail kept waving like a happy dog. ¡°I¡¯ve been out for a few days. If I don¡¯t go back, Master will be worried.¡± The little fox nodded in understanding and ran out. However, just as the man and the fox arrived at the entrance, they felt the ground tremble slightly. The few trees in the distance began to shake slowly and move in this direction. The little fox raised its tail and lowered its body. Its fur stood on end as it looked ahead warily. ¡°This is¡­¡± Li Xuanxin guessed that the beast guarding the Five-Colored Lotus had returned. Heavenly treasures only needed Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi or the essence of the sun and moon to survive and cultivate. However, beasts needed to eat, so it might have gone out to find some food. Now, it had returned. Li Xuanxin did not want to fight the other party and did not know how strong he was. Unfortunately, the other party returned at the right time. He and the little fox had just arrived at the entrance when the other party arrived. It was a green-scaled python with the thickness of a woman¡¯s waist. It was more than a hundred meters long and raised its head. Its eyes were scarlet as it stared at Li Xuanxin and the little fox. The dark red and forked tongue kept spitting out from its mouth, emitting a hissing sound that made one¡¯s goosebumps stand up. Seeing Li Xuanxin and the little fox walk out of its cave, the green-scaled python seemed to understand something. Its scarlet pupils constricted and it let out a hiss. With a whip of its huge tail, it headed straight for Li Xuanxin. It wanted to swallow these two thieves who dared to barge into its cave abode and let them know the price of stealing its treasures. In an instant, wind surged and sand flew. A strong stench assaulted his nose, causing the rocks to tremble and the vegetation to collapse. There was a saying in the scriptures that if the snake head was raised by a foot, it would need ten years of cultivation base. This green-scaled python had raised its head for more than a hundred feet. It had probably cultivated for more than a thousand years. Even if it was a demon, it could not improve as quickly as humans who relied on cultivation techniques. It had to have spent about five hundred years. Most of the masters and disciples of Spirit Platform Temple were probably powerless to resist it. Even Li Xuanxin, who only had 400 years of cultivation before swallowing the Five-Colored Lotus, could not easily resist it. But now¡­ a variable had appeared. Li Xuanxin was not flustered. He quickly formed the Treasure Mountain Seal! ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± The moment the mantra was spoken, the Immovable Wisdom King Dharma idol that was a thousand feet tall suddenly descended. Boom¡ª! With a shocking boom, the Immovable Wisdom King Dharma idol smashed into the green-scaled python like a small mountain. Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The green-scaled python was dead! It died very peacefully. In less than a second, it was smashed into meat paste. It was an expiation without pain. The little fox was stunned. Even when the dust stirred by the Treasure Mountain Seal attacked, it did not react. A move from the human could actually reach such a terrifying level! Indeed, the Human Race was worthy of being the race that occupied the providence of the world. This method was indeed extraordinary. The moment the dust arrived, Li Xuanxin picked up the little fox with one hand. With a light step, he immediately flew away with the Flying Steps. The Merit Golden Lotus in his mind flickered. [Killed green-scaled python. Merit points +420!] He actually got 420 merit points! Unexpectedly, it was still a surprise. As long as the green-scaled python had eaten humans in the past five hundred years, it would be affected by negative karma. That would not happen if it ate animals. The Human Race was at its peak and occupied the providence of the world. Those who harmed them would suffer a backlash from the providence of the world. He could obtain merit points by ending their lives. Even if it were evil people who killed others, he could also obtain merit points by sending them off. Merit points did not depend on the other party¡¯s cultivation level, but on whether they had done evil. For example, the green-scaled python had a high cultivation level. Chen Jinlian was only a ghost that had just died, but it only had a few more merit points than Chen Jinlian. This meant that it did not eat many people, only about twenty to thirty. If it killed many people, including more people in the future, expiating it would save more than one life. The merit would naturally be much greater. ¡­ After returning to the Spirit Platform Temple, Li Xuanxin put the little fox down. ¡°After consuming the Five-Colored Lotus, you will already have a hundred years of cultivation. You will no longer be an ordinary fox, but a small demon. In the future, you cannot easily step into Spirit Platform Temple. You will be caught. Hurry up and go home.¡± ¡°Remember, unless you encounter bad people and evil demons, you cannot hurt living beings.¡± ¡°Otherwise, I won¡¯t spare you!¡± The little fox¡¯s big eyes rolled around. It actually stood up and bowed to Li Xuanxin like a human. Then, it turned into a ball of fiery red light and disappeared into the forest. Li Xuanxin stepped into the sect. He was originally thinking about how to explain to his master. Only when he came to his master¡¯s courtyard did he know that his master had been helping Junior Xuan Mu cultivate the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture these few days, so he had not been out. It saved him the trouble of explaining. Just as he arrived at his master¡¯s courtyard, he saw his master, Hui Jue, walking out of the room happily. ¡°Eh, Xuanxin is here.¡± ¡°Master seems to have encountered something.¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­ Your Junior Xuan Mu is really a genius at cultivating the Buddhist Dharma. He only took three days to learn the first level of the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture!¡± ¡°This result is good enough to be ranked in the top ten in the history of Spirit Platform Temple! It¡¯s really the blessing of Buddha.¡± Li Xuanxin was slightly surprised. He did not expect Junior Xuan Mu to be so accomplished in Buddhist Dharma. Ordinary people who cultivated the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture also experience progressive difficulty. For example, cultivating the first level might take ten days. Then, cultivating the second level to the third level would take about twenty days. Cultivating the third level to the fourth level would take forty days! In other words, the shorter the time needed to cultivate the first level, the faster the cultivation later. It was difficult for ordinary people to cultivate the first level without a month or two. If they could learn the first level in ten days or half a month, it would not be a problem for them to be an elder in the temple in a few decades. For someone like this junior who learned the first level in three days, his comprehension was really not low. ¡°With the blessing of the Buddhist Sect, our courtyard has finally produced a prodigy. Congratulations.¡± Hui Jue nodded and said, ¡°Xuanxin, in the afternoon, a disciple came to inform us that tomorrow, the various academies will each send two people to the forbidden area at the back of the mountain. They will recite the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture and help the few head monks repair the seal of the Blood Fiend Ancestor.¡± ¡°At that time, you can go with your Senior Xuan Shui.¡± ¡°Master, aren¡¯t you going personally?¡± Hui Jue shook his head. ¡°I asked the temple for a Great Recovery Pill and prepared to give it to your junior to help him cultivate.¡± ¡°Great Recovery Pill. Master, isn¡¯t this what you wanted to keep for yourself?¡± Li Xuanxin was a little surprised. The Buddhist Sect had Small and Great Recovery Pills. They were all top-grade pills. The Small Recovery Pill could increase cultivation and lifespan by a year, while the Great Recovery Pill could increase cultivation and lifespan by ten years! These two pills required a certain amount of contribution. The Small Recovery Pill was still fine. Many elite disciples could exchange for it, but the demand for the Great Recovery Pill was extremely high. Many elders could only accumulate enough contribution points to exchange for it even if they spent their entire lives. Furthermore, they could only exchange for one Great Recovery Pill. Therefore, these elders often kept the only Great Recovery Pill in their lives for themselves. He did not expect his master to actually want to give his Great Recovery Pill to his junior. Hui Jue sighed. ¡°My potential is not good. I don¡¯t have much hope in this life. I can only place my hopes on you disciples. Your junior has the best potential. I want to try and see if I can send him to the Zen Heart Court. If I succeed, it can be said that I didn¡¯t waste my life.¡± The Four Great Buddhist Sects each had their own key cultivation halls. The Shaolin Temple had the Dharma Court, the Diamond Monastery had the Arhat Court, the Bodhi Temple had the Enlightened Heart Court, and the Spirit Platform Temple had the Zen Heart Court. Once a disciple of the Buddhist Sect entered one of the Four Great Courts, they could almost be said to have leaped through the dragon gate. They had many resources and their future was definitely not low. They might even step into the legendary River Realm! Those disciples who could not even enter the four halls would not have more than three or four hundred years of cultivation base in their lives. Cultivating a disciple who entered the Zen Heart Court had always been Master Hui Jue¡¯s wish. ¡°Xuanxin, do you think Master is a little biased?¡± Master Hui Jue suddenly spoke, but Li Xuanxin shook his head. ¡°Master, you can only obtain one Great Recovery Pill in your life. If you can obtain a few more, or if my potential is the best, you will definitely give them to me.¡± Previously, Li Xuanxin had not cultivated a trace of cultivation in the past five years, and Hui Jue had never shown poor treatment towards him. He was a worthy master, but he was too weak. He could not control some things himself. In addition¡­ be it the Great Recovery Pill or the Zen Heart Court, Li Xuanxin no longer cared about them. Hearing this, Hui Jue heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°I¡¯m relieved that you think that. With cultivation resources in the future, I won¡¯t forget you and my fellow disciples. Go rest.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Li Xuanxin bid farewell to his master, but he did not rest. Instead, he came to the Sutra Pavilion. He wanted to know more about the Five-Colored Lotus and that strange dream. There were quite a number of people in the Sutra Pavilion at night. The monks who cultivated diligently during the day could read the insights and notes of some seniors at night to make up for their mistakes in cultivation during the day. Therefore, there were many readers who read at night. These days, being a monk was also very complicated. Li Xuanxin came to the Sutra Pavilion and surrounded the bookshelves. After searching for a long time, he finally saw a plant scroll related to natural treasures in a corner. ¡°Found it.¡± Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Li Xuanxin took down the book and shook the dust off it. He then found a table to study it. The books in the temple were not arranged or cataloged. He needed to read them bit by bit, but he still quickly found the Five-Colored Lotus. After all, the Five-Colored Lotus was considered quite good even among natural treasures, so there were many records. ¡°Five-Colored Lotus. Born in a quiet and dry place. Born with different colors. One color for three hundred years, two colors for six hundred years, three colors for nine hundred years¡­¡± ¡°Eating it can directly increase one¡¯s cultivation and have a chance to awaken the memories of the past¡­¡± Li Xuanxin was a little stunned. ¡°So those are not dreams, but¡­ memories of my previous life? Was I a peerless sword immortal in my previous life? That¡¯s quite powerful.¡± Closing the book, Li Xuanxin left the Sutra Pavilion and returned to meditate. Being powerful in his previous life did not mean that he would be powerful in this life. He had to work harder. He had to set a small goal first and break through to the River Realm as soon as possible. ¡­ He meditated for a night and gained another two years of cultivation base. In the morning, with the first ray of sunlight entering the window, Senior Brother Xuan Shui knocked on his door. ¡°Junior Xuanxin, are you awake?¡± Li Xuanxin stood up and opened the door. ¡°Junior, we should go to the back of the mountain. We have to strengthen the seal of the Blood Fiend Ancestor today.¡± Li Xuanxin nodded and followed behind the burly senior. The two of them were completely different. One was rough like a bear, and the other was elegant like a crane. When they arrived at the back of the mountain, a large number of Spirit Platform Temple disciples had already gathered. Li Xuanxin and Senior Xuan Shui also found a mat to sit down on. They picked up the wooden fish in front of them and started knocking. ¡°Namah samanta¡­¡± More and more disciples gathered. In a few minutes, hundreds of people had gathered. Everyone chanted and their words transformed into golden swastika symbols. Finally, they formed a huge swastika in the sky and slowly spun, releasing a peaceful power that suppressed evil. The few presiding head monks before the seal also began to use the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation to strengthen the already weakened seal. Li Xuanxin noticed that their cultivation levels were all at the River Realm. The Immovable Wisdom King Incantation they cultivated had already reached the 30th or 40th level. However, for some reason, he felt that the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation they used was not much stronger than his. Could it be that the strength displayed by the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation was also related to the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture? The other party¡¯s cultivation level was several hundred years higher than his, and the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation was twenty to thirty levels higher. However, the power displayed by everyone was not very different. The only thing that could help him increase his strength was the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture at the perfected 108th level. Therefore, if he raised the level of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation a few more levels, could he fight these head monks to a draw? From this point of view, it was equivalent to him having the strength to fight above his realm? This was a new discovery, making Li Xuanxin much happier. However, at this moment, something happened. A blood-colored murderous aura suddenly burst out from the seal. The surrounding air instantly turned cold. The expressions of the head monks changed. ¡°Oh no!¡± ¡°This demon wants to destroy the seal and rush out.¡± ¡°Hurry up and ask the other disciples to help.¡± ¡°It¡¯s too late. The Blood Fiend Ancestor came prepared. Such a situation didn¡¯t happen in the past few hundred years. He must have accumulated power for hundreds of years and planned for a long time. All for today, to break the seal in one go.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this old demon to be so patient. However, we can¡¯t let him break through the seal today. Otherwise, it will definitely cause chaos!¡± Seeing that the seal was about to be broken, Li Xuanxin quietly circulated the 108th level of the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture. In an instant, the swastika Buddhist seal in the sky suddenly expanded and golden light shot in all directions! With the enhancement of this golden light, the strength of the head monks increased exponentially. They instantly repaired and strengthened the seal that wanted to shatter! Before the seal was completed, everyone heard a roar. ¡°Ahhh¡­ you bunch of stupid monks! One day, I will definitely massacre Spirit Platform Temple and kill all of you! I will use your blood to recover my peak cultivation.¡± In the end, everything fell silent. The head monks could not help but wipe the sweat off their foreheads. ¡°Amitabha, good, good!¡± ¡°It was really dangerous just now. If not for the sudden increase in the surrounding Buddhist power at the last moment, we would have really been helpless against this sinister devil.¡± ¡°But¡­ why did the Buddhist power suddenly increase in the end? Who helped? There are very few people in our Spirit Platform Temple who can do this!¡± Everyone looked at each other. Because it was too dangerous just now, no one had the time to pay attention to why the Buddhist power suddenly increased. Where could they sense the other party now? ¡°Do you think it¡¯s because of that senior who mastered the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture half a year ago?¡± A head monk could not help but voice his guess. ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s him. Other than him, if the rest of us help, we won¡¯t hide.¡± ¡°Senior is really a great person. He didn¡¯t need to appear and can easily help us suppress the Blood Fiend Ancestor. His cultivation has probably reached the peak!¡± Everyone sighed, while Li Xuanxin¡¯s expression was indifferent. Not long after, the head monks announced that the sealing ceremony had ended. Everyone left one after another. ¡­ For the next half a year, Li Xuanxin did not run around. He kept cultivating in peace. Although the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture was already at the perfected realm and could circulate on its own, if he entered a meditative state, it would be faster than circulating on his own! In the past half a year, Li Xuanxin¡¯s cultivation level had increased every day. He had also broken through to the River Realm early and reached more than a thousand years of cultivation base. After accumulating strength for so long, he could also go out and do meritorious deeds without worry and continue to increase the level of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation. However, Spirit Platform Temple was a holy land of the Buddhist Sect. There were not many large-scale missions around. Perhaps he should consider going out and traveling. This way, he could obtain more merit points. Otherwise, when could he obtain enough merit points to max out the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation? Not to mention, he still wanted to learn the divine techniques of other monasteries¡ªTathagata Divine Palm, Thousand-Hand Buddha¡­ With this thought, Li Xuanxin went to the front hall to find his master. Master was still fortune-telling. In front was an old man. ¡°Master, I came all the way here to calculate where my son is. He hasn¡¯t returned home for three years. Is he still alive?¡± After Hui Jue calculated, he said, ¡°Your son made a fortune overseas and will be back in a few days. He wants to bring you to enjoy wealth.¡± ¡°Really? Master!¡± ¡°Amitabha. Monks don¡¯t lie. I naturally won¡¯t lie.¡± ¡°Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master!¡± The old man kowtowed to Hui Jue repeatedly. Then, he took out two copper coins that were shiny from sweat and stuffed them into the Merit Box piously. ¡°Buddha, protect me.¡± He bowed to the Buddha before walking down the mountain with a wooden stick. Li Xuanxin walked forward and teased, ¡°Master, monks don¡¯t lie. You¡¯ve broken the rules in front of the Buddha.¡± Hui Jue glanced at Li Xuanxin and scolded with a smile, ¡°You brat, you¡¯re still young, but you¡¯re already teaching your master a lesson.¡± After cursing jokingly, he sighed again. ¡°This old man has a tough life. He came all the way to Spirit Platform Temple just to seek hope.¡± ¡°I deduced that his son had already left the world. If I told him the truth and made him despair, it would be too cruel.¡± ¡°Therefore, I lied to him and gave him some hope.¡± ¡°In a sense, I¡¯m not lying, because in his heart, he might have already guessed it, but he was unwilling and did not dare to believe it.¡± ¡°Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have come here.¡± Li Xuanxin nodded. The Buddhists were not saints. It was impossible for them to not lie entirely. As long as the goal of lying was not to harm others, but to help others, why not? If he was too strict with the rules of the scriptures, he would lose his kindness and become a heartless machine that only cultivated the scriptures. That would go against the original intention. Cultivation was to cultivate the heart. Only by having good intentions could one be considered a Buddha. ¡°By the way, Master, I have something to tell you.¡± ¡°Go ahead.¡± ¡°Recently, it¡¯s very difficult to find a mission at the foot of the mountain that requires expiation. I want to go out and travel for a few years and see the outside world.¡± ¡°You¡¯re going out to travel?¡± Hui Jue was a little stunned. ¡°That¡¯s right. Ever since I was saved by Master six years ago, I¡¯ve never left a radius of two hundred miles. I also want to go out and take a look and broaden my horizons to improve my state of mind.¡± Hui Jue nodded. ¡°This is a good thing. Besides, I¡¯ve also heard from the monks in the temple that there are indeed fewer demons and ghosts at the foot of the mountain this year. There are also fewer missions to expiate souls. ¡°However, you should stay in the temple for the next two days.¡± At this point, Hui Jue narrowed his eyes and smiled. ¡°Your junior has already been chosen to enter the Zen Heart Court.¡± ¡°So fast?¡± This time, it was Li Xuanxin¡¯s turn to be surprised, but he was pretending. His cultivation base was too high. It had long surpassed Master Hui Jue¡¯s by several times. He could tell at a glance that his Junior Brother Xuan Mu¡¯s cultivation level was high. As long as he judged according to the rules of entering the Zen Heart Court, it was very easy to determine. Hui Jue nodded and said excitedly, ¡°That¡¯s right. Even I didn¡¯t expect your junior to be so fast. In just half a year, he has already cultivated the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture to the sixth level.¡± ¡°Before he entered the temple, his cultivation base had already reached ten years. After eating the Great Recovery Pill I gave him, his cultivation had increased by another ten years. In addition to his half a year of bitter cultivation, he had increased his cultivation base by six years. Now, he already has twenty-six years of cultivation base and had reached the right to enter the Zen Heart Court.¡± ¡°I think he still has room to improve. Perhaps, after entering the Zen Heart Court, he still has a chance to enter the Talent Ranking!¡± ¡°Talent Ranking? What is that?¡± ¡°The Talent Ranking is a ranking list made by people in the martial world. According to age and cultivation level, it records the most talented geniuses in the various sects in the world. As long as they are below the age of forty, they have a chance to be recorded.¡± ¡°For example, the current number one on the Talent Ranking is Ji Tiandao of the Heavenly Sword Sect! He is only 39 years old this year and has started cultivating at the age of nine. It is said that he has already reached more than 2,800 years of cultivation base.¡± ¡°He is known as the number one among the younger generation of the righteous path!¡± ¡°So powerful!¡± Li Xuanxin could not help but be shocked. He had entered the sect at the age of nine and was 39 years old now. In other words, after thirty years of cultivation, he was already about to reach the Firmament Realm with nearly three thousand years of cultivation base. Such strength was truly terrifying. Li Xuanxin was 25 years old this year. After cultivating for a year, he had only reached 1,400 to 1,500 years of cultivation. Putting aside the Five-Colored Lotus he had eaten, if it was only based on cultivation, he had only gained more than 800 years of cultivation base in a year. The other party did not have his fortuitous encounter but he could gain more than 130 years of cultivation base a year. This cultivation speed was already extremely terrifying. Li Xuanxin would not look down on him just because he cultivated faster than him. This was because he knew that he had the enhancement of a cheat. In a sense, he could not rely on his own efforts. He knew his limits. The other party was truly talented! Hui Jue suddenly smiled. ¡°There¡¯s no need to envy him. There are as many lists in the martial world as there are hairs on a cow. There¡¯s a list and you¡¯re also on it. Furthermore, you¡¯re the one who rules the martial world. No one can compare to you.¡± ¡°Even the famous number one on the Talent Ranking, Ji Tiandao, can only eat dust behind you.¡± Li Xuanxin was stunned again. There was such a ranking? Moreover, he was number one? Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Seeing that he was a little surprised, Hui Jue smiled again. ¡°Are you surprised? Are you curious about which list it is?¡± Li Xuanxin nodded. He indeed wanted to know what kind of list allowed trash like him to dominate the world. After all, he had never revealed his strength. Outsiders only thought that he was trash. Could it be¡­ the Trash Ranking? ¡°The Handsome Ranking!¡± Li Xuanxin had just thought of the trash list when Master Hui Jue smiled and gave him the answer. (¡Ñ.¡Ñ)! ¡°The Handsome Ranking?¡± What kind of strange list was this? In a world filled with demons, why would anyone be so bored as to make such a list? ¡°Didn¡¯t expect it? Think about it carefully. A year ago, you couldn¡¯t cultivate. How many people wanted to bribe Master to persuade you to renounce asceticism and marry into a rich family? If you didn¡¯t have any fame, how could you have attracted so many matchmakers?¡± Li Xuanxin shook his head helplessly. ¡°So what if I¡¯m good-looking? It can¡¯t increase my cultivation.¡± ¡°Your cultivation level might not increase, but it¡¯s already very good to be able to leave your name in the martial world. Treat it as entertainment.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not interested in that. Speaking of which, Master, don¡¯t forget to help me submit a request to go out and train.¡± It was important for Buddhist disciples to go out and train. They had to report it level by level. ¡°I understand. However, before you go out, it¡¯s best that you go to the Sutra Pavilion and read more books to understand the matters of the world.¡± ¡°In addition, tonight, your senior and I will celebrate with your Junior Xuan Mu. We will eat some vegetarian food. If you are free, go over.¡± Li Xuanxin nodded, ¡°I understand.¡± Then, he arrived at the Sutra Pavilion. Coincidentally, Uncle-Master Hui Neng was telling the disciples about the Talent Ranking. ¡°The Talent Ranking records the most talented and most perceptive people in the world. Under the age of forty, the stronger and younger one is, the higher their ranking. So far, the Talent Ranking has changed generation after generation, but as long as one has been on the Talent Ranking, they will definitely leave a name in the world! Because of their potential, they are destined to be extraordinary.¡± ¡°Hiss! So powerful. Then is there anyone on the Talent Ranking in our Spirit Platform Temple?¡± ¡°Hehe, as one of the four major Buddhist sects, our Spirit Platform Temple naturally has one. He is Xuan Guo, who has already entered the Zen Heart Court and has cultivated for more than twenty years. He is your senior brother.¡± ¡°He is now 39 years old, but his strength has already reached more than 980 years of cultivation. He is ranked 19th on the Talent Ranking!¡± ¡°There are still two or three people who are ranked lower. There¡¯s no need to elaborate.¡± ¡°Wow! Oh my goodness, Senior Xuan Guo has already reached more than 980 years of cultivation, but he can only be ranked 19th. How monstrous is the top ten of the Talent Ranking?¡± ¡°Of course! Those who can be on the Talent Ranking are all talented people! Especially the top ten. In a sense, they are completely different from ordinary cultivators like us!¡± ¡°For example, Ji Tiandao of the Heavenly Sword Sect is also 39 years old this year, but he has already occupied the top of the Talent Ranking for many years. His cultivation base has already reached a terrifying 2,851 years. He is already quite close to the Firmament Realm.¡± ¡°The second is Ji Tianlin of the Immeasurable Sect. 34 years old with 2,320 years of cultivation base.¡± ¡°The third place is the Goddess Palace¡¯s Bai Muxue. She is 31 years old this year and her cultivation base is already 1,900 years¡­¡± Everyone could not help but be shocked. They were all dumbfounded, as if they were listening to a heavenly book. It had to be known that for ordinary people, having ten years of cultivation in a year was already considered not bad. Ordinary elders like Hui Jue and Hui Neng had cultivated for a hundred years. Some had only slightly more than a hundred years of cultivation base. The better ones might have cultivated to two or three hundred years. For example, the head monks in the temple had only cultivated to a thousand years. It was said that the only person in the temple who had stepped into the Creation Realm was the abbot. However, he was an existence who had cultivated for more than a few hundred years. This was under the condition that he was talented. Ordinary people would spend their entire lives without even reaching the cultivation level of elders like Hui Jue and Hui Neng. Now, when they heard that some existences who were not very old and were only in their twenties or thirties had actually broken through to two or three thousand years of cultivation, it was simply unimaginable. Were they still humans? Li Xuanxin was also slightly surprised. He did not expect there to be so many geniuses in this world. However, on careful thought, it made sense. In this world with so many people, he was not the only one with opportunities. Of course, he did not need to care too much. Although these people were very strong, they were all older than him. Another important thing was that he had only cultivated for a year. They might have cultivated since they were eight or nine years old, or even ten years old. Therefore, it was equivalent to comparing a one-year-old baby to a group of ten or twenty-year-olds. He already had a cultivation base of more than a thousand years, so he was actually much faster than them. Not to mention catching up to them at his age, even if he was before thirty, his cultivation base would probably exceed four thousand years. Therefore, Li Xuanxin could treat them normally. He did not need to treat them like unreachable geniuses. Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios He read some things to take note of outside. For example, the price of food and lodging in various places, the local culture, which places were close to Buddha, and which places had more demons and ghosts. Since he was going out to expiate sins and accumulate merit, he naturally had to go to places with more demons. It was always good to understand in advance. Li Xuanxin also saw the Handsome Ranking. As expected, his name was ranked at the top. It was said that he had already occupied it for six years. In other words, ever since he transmigrated, he had become the most handsome man in the world. He even suspected that the heavens had added the wrong attribute points to his transmigration. They had all added to his looks and not his cultivation talent. If not for the fact that his master had picked him up and brought him back to Spirit Platform Temple, coupled with the fact that he had activated the Merit Golden Lotus, he would probably have been captured by some old demon of a secluded mountain to be their husband! He might even be sold to a brothel¡­ A fat rich woman with yellow teeth and pockmarks, a sloppy coal boss with a big belly and a wretched smile¡­ Li Xuanxin did not dare to imagine. In a world where the strong were respected, looks were a sin. The higher one¡¯s looks were, the greater the sin. ¡®I¡¯m guilty!¡¯ ¡®It¡¯s the number one sin in the world!¡¯ ¡®Amitabha!¡¯ After Li Xuanxin repented, he continued to read the information and discovered that the second place was Ji Tiandao of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Furthermore, he was the second place for six years straight. As expected, he was firmly stepped on by Li Xuanxin. In a few years, his cultivation would probably be trampled under his feet. Although it was not intentional, he felt a little guilty. ¡®Amitabha!¡¯ ¡®Benefactor, forgive me!¡¯ Apart from this, Li Xuanxin also learned some other knowledge. For example, Bai Muxue was ranked first on the Beauty Ranking. However, Ji Tiandao and Ji Tianlin¡¯s identities were not described in detail. Their names were very similar. He wondered if they were brothers. If they were really brothers, their bloodline was too terrifying. However, the surname Ji was in the Great Zhou and did not seem to be the surname of an ordinary family. Shaking his head, Li Xuanxin closed the book and stopped thinking about these troublesome things. It was already night. Master and the others should have already begun celebrating for Little Junior Brother, right? He came to his master¡¯s courtyard and saw that it was brightly lit from afar. The burly Eldest Senior Brother had just come out with a basin of water to pour it away. The wooden basin was thirty to forty centimeters tall, but in his hand, it was like a small basin for eating. ¡°Eh, Xuanxin is here. Come, it¡¯s time to eat.¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m coming.¡± Li Xuanxin agreed and followed his senior into the small courtyard. The other disciples had already arrived. There were a total of six disciples under Master Hui Jue. They were all orphaned and abandoned, or they were severely injured. After he brought them back for treatment, they were shaved to become monks. The meal was already prepared. Stir-fried spinach, stir-fried beans, stir-fried cucumbers, stir-fried vegetables¡­ If not for the fact that there was still one tofu that was not green, Li Xuanxin would even suspect that his master was trying to hint at a disciple. At the dining table, Li Xuanxin also saw Xuan Mu, whom he had not seen for a long time. Ever since he came to Spirit Platform Temple, he had been cultivating and rarely came out. Li Xuanxin was also often out on missions and rarely returned. The two of them had only met once in the past half a year, five months ago. Now that they met again, Xuan Mu was much stronger than half a year ago. The elegance between his eyebrows was gone and he looked more determined. He had clearly grown up a lot. However, for some reason, Li Xuanxin felt a faint evil aura from Xuan Mu. It was very faint. With the cultivation of others, it was impossible for them to sense it, including their master. However, Li Xuanxin could clearly sense it. After all, he was already a River Realm expert with more than 1,400 years of cultivation! ¡°It¡¯s time to eat. Sit down.¡± ¡°Thank you, Master!¡± Everyone thanked him and sat down. Hui Jue smiled. ¡°Today, we are celebrating for your junior. Xuan Mu is the first disciple under Master to enter the Zen Heart Court. He is the pride of our courtyard. ¡°However, Xuan Mu, although you will enter the Zen Heart Court in the future, these are still your senior brothers. When you see them, don¡¯t be arrogant. You still have to remember and treat them with respect.¡± Xuan Mu nodded. ¡°I will remember Master¡¯s teachings.¡± Hui Jue nodded in satisfaction and looked at everyone. ¡°You are all children that Master picked up or saved. In Master¡¯s eyes, you are no different from my own children. It¡¯s just that Master¡¯s level is not high and cannot bring you more resources.¡± ¡°The only Great Recovery Pill was given to Xuan Mu because his comprehension was high enough and he had a chance to enter the Zen Heart Academy.¡± ¡°Now, Xuan Mu did not disappoint and successfully entered the Zen Heart Courtyard.¡± ¡°Master hopes that you can still be united in the future and help each other. Bring all the disciples of our courtyard up. Our cultivation levels will be higher and we will walk a longer path.¡± ¡°Master, don¡¯t worry. We will definitely follow your instructions and help each other.¡± Xuan Shui was the first to speak. This rough man was still relatively meticulous. The other disciples also spoke, making Hui Jue extremely satisfied. The banquet lasted for more than an hour. The meal lasted for six or seven minutes. The rest of the time was spent listening to Hui Jue¡¯s teachings. Hui Jue was indeed a good master. He let Xuan Mu enter the Zen Heart Court not only to save face, but also to make Xuan Mu stronger and go further. Then, he could lead the other senior brothers. This reminded Li Xuanxin of his worried father in his previous life. Although he did not have much ability in his life, he had given the only thing he had to his child. Then, he sat on the small bridge at the end of the village and smoked a cigarette before slowly growing old. After eating, Master Hui Jue left Xuan Mu alone. He still had some things to say. The other senior brothers still had a mission tomorrow and had all gone back to rest. Li Xuanxin and Senior Xuan Shui stayed behind to wash the dishes. ¡°Little Junior Brother has made a name for himself now. He has entered the Zen Heart Court. In the future, his lowest achievement will also be an elder.¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that before he entered the temple, his entire family was killed by the fiendish cultivators. Now that he¡¯s in the Zen Heart Court, if his parents in the netherworld know, they can rest in peace.¡± Li Xuanxin was silent. Although he had heard from his master that something had happened to Xuan Mu¡¯s family when he had just entered the Spirit Platform Temple, he did not expect it to be so tragic. However, there was a blood feud. Could Little Junior Brother really let it go? Li Xuanxin thought of the faint evil aura on his junior. ¡°I hope he doesn¡¯t walk some evil path.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Li Xuanxin shook his head, ¡°Nothing.¡± ¡°Alright. The dishes are all washed. I¡¯ll go clean the floor. Junior Xuanxin, go back and rest.¡± ¡°Thank you, Senior.¡± When Li Xuanxin left his master¡¯s courtyard, Xuan Mu happened to come out of his master¡¯s room. Seeing Li Xuanxin, he only said indifferently, ¡°Oh, Senior Brother Xuanxin. you haven¡¯t left yet.¡± Li Xuanxin nodded. ¡°Master is asleep?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Xuan Mu replied softly. Li Xuanxin spoke again, ¡°I haven¡¯t congratulated Junior Brother today. Congratulations on entering the Zen Heart Court.¡± ¡°Thank you, Senior Xuanxin.¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± Li Xuanxin replied indifferently and left. ¡°Master dotes on you very much. His lifetime contributions can only be exchanged for a Great Recovery Pill. I hope you won¡¯t let him down.¡± ¡°Otherwise¡­ I won¡¯t let you off!¡± Xuan Mu was shocked. He looked at Li Xuanxin¡¯s back and pondered. ¡®Could it be¡­ that he saw something? Impossible. Other than me, the other disciples under Hui Jue are all trash. As for him, he¡¯s the trash among the trash. He cultivated for five years before starting his cultivation journey!¡¯ ¡®It is impossible for him to see anything.¡¯ ¡®Perhaps it¡¯s jealousy. These mediocre people are most jealous of everyone.¡¯ ¡®Unfortunately¡­ mediocre people are mediocre after all. They are short-sighted and are like frogs in a well. They don¡¯t know what the world is like. They can only be jealous.¡¯ ¡®In a few days, you will know the difference between us.¡¯ ¡®At that time, all your jealousy will probably turn into fear, right?¡¯ Then, he shook his head and laughed as if he was mocking himself. ¡°What do I care about a mediocre person? What a waste of time. I¡¯ll go outside the temple first and capture some living beings to increase my cultivation.¡± Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In the next few days, Li Xuanxin prepared to leave the mountain. The Great Zhou was very big. There were nine states alone. Every state had countless cities and countless mountains attached to the cities. Spirit Platform Mountain was only a mountain in Blue Sea City. Without a suitable map, it was like a headless fly. It was only a waste of time. Also, although his cultivation base was already very high, there were many experts in the world. He was relatively safe in a Buddhist holy land like Spirit Platform Temple, but that might not be the case outside. Therefore, he still needed to prepare some talismans, Dharma treasures, and so on. It was better to be prepared. That evening, he returned to his residence from the Sutra Pavilion. Before he stepped into the room, he already sensed a familiar aura. He walked into the room. The next moment, a fiery red fox rushed over and rubbed against his calf affectionately. ¡°Little Fox, why are you here? Didn¡¯t I tell you that Spirit Platform Temple is an important place of the Buddhist Sect and you can¡¯t enter casually? Be careful not to be caught and sent to the afterlife.¡± The little fox rubbed against Li Xuanxin and let out two fox cries. ¡°Wuu~ Wuu~¡± Li Xuanxin raised his eyebrows. ¡°You want me to go with you?¡± The little fox nodded. Li Xuanxin pondered for a moment. The little fox usually did not enter Spirit Platform Temple easily. Since it took the risk to enter, there had to be something important. He would go take a look. ¡°Sure.¡± After agreeing, Li Xuanxin carried the little fox with one hand. With a stomp, he used the Flying Steps movement technique and quickly left Spirit Platform Temple. Hui Jue, who had just come out of his room, could not help but be puzzled when he saw a black and red shadow sweep past. ¡°What flew past the roof just now? It was so fast. Was it a demon? But why would a demon appear in the Buddhist Sect¡¯s Holy Land?¡± Li Xuanxin arrived outside the temple and stopped. The little fox was still shocked by his speed. Although it had seen Li Xuanxin¡¯s speed before, that was half a year ago. At that time, Li Xuanxin¡¯s cultivation had only just broken through 800 years, but now, he had already broken through 1,500 years. ¡°Little Fox, which direction are we heading in?¡± Li Xuanxin asked and it came back to its senses. It hurriedly stretched out its front paw and pointed in a direction. Following the direction she pointed, Li Xuanxin quickly advanced. In less than ten minutes, he arrived deep in the mountain. As soon as he entered the depths of the mountain, he smelled something unusual in the air. The smell of iron mixed with blood! It was the smell of blood! Li Xuanxin increased his speed until he arrived in front of a bamboo forest. The thick smell of blood came from inside. The bamboo forest formed a circle that stretched out like a porcupine, making it difficult for people to enter. However, to Li Xuanxin, it was naturally not a problem. Using the movement technique, he entered the bamboo forest. However, after he entered the bamboo forest, his pupils constricted. In the bamboo forest, the leaves of the bamboo had been cut off. The top of the bamboo was cut into a sharp shape. Countless bamboo strips were like skewers, skewering animals. There were also many small demons among them. They ranged from a few years of cultivation to nearly a hundred years of cultivation. There were even a few demons who had more than a hundred years of cultivation. They died in an extremely miserable manner. They were all stabbed into pillars by someone alive and their bodies were sealed, preventing them from moving. They bled to death. A huge pit had been dug in the ground. The soil was stained with blood and emitted a strong smell of blood. The moonlight was early, but the snow-white moonlight could not illuminate the ground. The ground was pitch black. Clearly, it was too dark red from the blood and could not reflect any light. Because the blood aura was extremely dense and the resentment of these demons was extremely strong, it formed a sealed barrier. Their ghosts gathered here and could not escape, so they naturally could not be reincarnated. Therefore, in the bamboo forest, cold wind blew and ghosts wailed. More than a thousand black shadows wandered in the air like fish in water. ¡°Is someone cultivating an evil technique? This is near Spirit Platform Temple. How can an evil cultivator dare to cultivate an evil technique here? Isn¡¯t he afraid of being discovered?¡± The little fox walked to one of the bamboos and looked at the corpses of the foxes that had dried up and revealed some white bones. It let out a few sad cries and was secretly sad. Li Xuanxin walked to its side and stroked its head. ¡°Are these your clansmen?¡± The little fox nodded and started sobbing. Li Xuanxin sighed slightly. ¡°You once gave me a fortuitous encounter and let me obtain a Five-Colored Lotus that increased my cultivation by 400 years. Now, I¡¯ll help you purify these demons.¡± There were good and bad people, and there were also good and bad demons. No one ruled that the souls of demons could not be expiated. Moreover, these demons had been tortured when they were alive. After they died, they turned into vengeful spirits with extremely heavy resentment. If he did not send them off, they would form vengeful spirits in the future and escape. They would definitely harm the mortal world. Li Xuanxin sat down with his legs crossed and stayed in the center of the blood pit. He circulated the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture and chanted the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Mercy Incantation. ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m canda mah¨¡ro sana¡­¡± With Li Xuanxin¡¯s chanting, a golden Buddhist light slowly spread out from his body. A tall Immovable Wisdom King Dharma idol gradually formed and slowly expanded into the sky. ¡­ At the same time, a bloody battle was happening in the forbidden area of Spirit Platform Temple! ¡°Xuan Mu! You vile traitor, you actually joined the demonic path and wanted to let the Blood Fiend Ancestor go. How can you let down your master¡¯s nurturing?¡± Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°That old bald monk Hui Jue is just a piece of trash. How can he be worthy of being my master? There¡¯s only one person who can be my master, and that¡¯s the Blood Fiend Ancestor!¡± With that, Xuan Mu crushed the other party¡¯s spine. He did not kill the other party directly because the Blood Fiend Ancestor needed the blood of living people to erupt with a stronger cultivation. He wanted to sacrifice it to the Blood Fiend Ancestor. ¡°As long as I save Master and learn his Blood Fiend Devil Technique, my cultivation level will quickly increase and avenge my family.¡± ¡°Father! Mother! Sister! Just you wait. I won¡¯t let go of anyone who killed you.¡± With that, he immediately used his demonic technique to break the seal. With his strength, it was naturally impossible for him to completely break the seal. However, he only needed to open a small crack and let the Blood Fiend Ancestor absorb the monk¡¯s blood essence. Then, he could activate his demonic technique and break the seal from the inside. As his demonic technique erupted, a corroding sound quickly appeared on the seal and blood Qi began to emit. ¡°It¡¯s about to succeed!¡± Xuan Mu was overjoyed. However, at this moment, something suddenly happened in the sky. A huge Buddha suddenly formed in the mountains dozens of kilometers away from Spirit Platform Temple. It enlarged by 1,080 feet and slowly rose into the sky. The Buddhist light shone and the entire night was illuminated. The voice of the Mercy Incantation spread in all directions. Coupled with the Buddhist light, all evil within a hundred miles was suppressed. The golden light did not harm the righteous path, but to the evil people, it was like countless sharp swords! The parts of Xuan Mu¡¯s body that were not covered by his clothes began to burn, causing him to scream in pain. ¡°Ahhh¡­¡± This scream was too shrill, instantly attracting many monks. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Who¡¯s screaming?¡± The monk whose spine had been crushed by Xuan Mu immediately used all his strength to shout, ¡°Elder Hui Jue¡¯s disciple, Xuan Mu, has fallen into the demonic path. He killed his fellow disciples and wants to save the Blood Fiend Ancestor! Come quickly!¡± ¡°Bastard!¡± Xuan Mu roared angrily and crushed the other party¡¯s throat. Then, he turned around and ran. The monks of Spirit Platform Temple had already gathered. If he did not run, he would die here. It was better to hide and wait for the opportunity. The entire Spirit Platform Temple was in chaos. Everyone was shouting to capture Xuan Mu. The Buddhist light dozens of kilometers away had already vanished. Endless darkness enveloped him again. Hui Jue walked out of his room with a terrifying expression. His hands under his sleeves were trembling. Xuan Shui and the others walked forward. ¡°Master¡­¡± ¡°You guys go too. You must find Xuan Mu. I want to personally confirm this.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Everyone left, and Hui Jue quickly disappeared. ¡­ At the same time, Li Xuanxin in the distance also expiated the souls of all the demons. The bamboo forest regained its clarity, but the corpses strung on the bamboo pole were still so ghastly. However, the vengeful spirits here had already disappeared. There was no longer any evil aura. Even if ordinary people came, they would only be frightened and not be harmed by the ghosts. The Merit Golden Lotus flickered as his merit increased. The little fox stood up and kept bowing to Li Xuanxin. It thanked him for helping its clansmen. Li Xuanxin smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t thank me. You¡¯ve helped me before. Besides, as a monk, I can¡¯t watch these vengeful spirits become stronger and harm the mortal world, right?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something and looked in the direction of Spirit Platform Temple. The little fox tilted its head in confusion. Li Xuanxin sighed slightly and turned to leave. ¡°Something has happened to the Spirit Platform Temple. I¡¯ll be leaving first. In the next few years, don¡¯t go to Spirit Platform Temple anymore. I¡¯m going out to travel. If fate allows, we¡¯ll meet again.¡± ¡­ In Spirit Platform Temple, Xuan Mu killed two more disciples and fled over the wall. He had just climbed out of the wall when he suddenly paused and looked ahead coldly. The person standing in front was none other than his master, Hui Jue. Hui Jue clenched his fists. His gaze was like ice as he stared at Xuan Mu. ¡°Why are you doing this?¡± Xuan Mu snorted, ¡°My entire family was harmed. This is a blood feud. I have to take revenge!¡± ¡°So you joined the demonic path?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Although the cultivation technique of Spirit Platform Temple is good, cultivation is too slow. When I succeed in my cultivation and want to take revenge, the enemy will probably have died of old age long ago!¡± ¡°Only Master¡¯s Blood Fiend Devil Technique can let me take revenge quickly!¡± Hui Jue¡¯s heart trembled. He actually¡­ called the Blood Fiend Ancestor his master! Then what was he? At this moment, he felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart. The heart-wrenching pain made the old monk spit out a mouthful of blood, but he forcefully suppressed it with his cultivation. ¡°Get lost. On account of the Great Recovery Pill you gave me, I can spare your life!¡± Xuan Mu spoke again, but Hui Jue said with a cold expression, ¡°I was blind to believe you, vile traitor. However, I nurtured you. I can¡¯t let you leave the mountain and harm the world!¡± ¡°Heh, you didn¡¯t take the easy way out. In that case, don¡¯t blame me for being impolite.¡± Xuan Mu suddenly executed his technique and his aura erupted. Hui Jue was shocked. His strength had already broken through to three hundred years of cultivation! ¡°How can your cultivation level be so strong?¡± Xuan Mu smiled proudly, ¡°This is the power of the Blood Fiend Devil Technique! Compared to your Great Recovery Pill that increased my cultivation by ten years, the Blood Fiend Devil Technique is a true divine art!¡± The two of them collided with their palms. Qi waves flew and exploded. The shock wave forced the two of them back. Xuan Mu spat. ¡°Your old bones are quite difficult to chew.¡± With that, he pounced again. Hui Jue used the Arhat Fist and their fists collided. However, this time, Xuan Mu only feinted. When the two of them approached, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He condensed his True Qi and formed a blood arrow in the air that approached Hui Jue¡¯s face. ¡°Oh no!¡± Hui Jue¡¯s expression changed. He immediately blocked with his hand. The blood arrow was extremely powerful. It actually pierced a hole in his palm and pierced his cheek! The intense pain made him reveal a flaw. Xuan Mu kicked at his chest, causing him to spit out blood and fly back. The ribs in his chest also let out a cracking sound, probably broken. Xuan Mu wanted to continue forward to deal the finishing blow, but the pursuers behind him were gradually approaching. He could only snort. ¡°Count yourself lucky.¡± Then, he directly entered the darkness and fled down the mountain. In the darkness, the wind blew past his ears. The surrounding trees and grass quickly retreated. The voices behind him also became further and further away, making Xuan Mu¡¯s tense mind relax as he finally heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°I really suffered a huge loss this time. I was so close. If not for that Buddhist light, I would have saved Master.¡± He wondered who had created that damned Buddhist light! ¡°It¡¯s said that a year ago, a peerless monk appeared in Spirit Platform Temple and comprehended the 108th level of the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture. Could it be that fellow?¡± After a pause, he thought again. ¡°If my plan doesn¡¯t work this time, Spirit Platform Temple will be even more heavily guarded. It seems that I have to stop for a while. I¡¯ll go down the mountain first and slaughter some people to increase my cultivation.¡± ¡°When I cultivate for a few years and my cultivation base breaks through to four or five hundred years, I¡¯ll think of a way to save Master.¡± ¡°Father, Mother! Don¡¯t worry, I will definitely avenge our family!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly slowed down. He slowly took two steps to reduce his speed. After stabilizing himself, his expression was cold as he stared at a figure slowly walking down the mountain. ¡°Who is it?¡± A breeze blew and the moonlight shone into the forest and onto the figure. He wore a white monk robe and had a handsome face. His temperament was extraordinary¡­ as if a true Buddha had descended! ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± Xuan Mu¡¯s pupils constricted. He could not believe that the person who had arrived was his senior, Li Xuanxin! Li Xuanxin looked at him coldly. At first, he did not associate the corpses of those demons with Xuan Mu. However, when he sensed that something had happened to Spirit Platform Temple, he began to associate them with Xuan Mu. Unexpectedly, he had guessed correctly. ¡°I said this before. If you let him down, I won¡¯t spare you!¡± Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Hearing this, Xuan Mu suddenly laughed. ¡°Ahahahaha¡­ You won¡¯t spare me? You? Are you worthy?¡± It was not that Xuan Mu was arrogant, because at this moment, any normal person would not think that Li Xuanxin had the strength to take down Xuan Mu. He had been a good-for-nothing before, but now, he had only cultivated for a year. In a year, no matter how fast his cultivation was, how much could it increase? Moreover, even Hui Jue was not Xuan Mu¡¯s match, let alone Li Xuanxin. In Xuan Mu¡¯s eyes, Li Xuanxin might have hidden some tricks or hid a little of his cultivation level. He did not tell everyone, so he dared to come in front of him. However¡­ he would only stop here. Li Xuanxin did not know how terrifying he was now! However, Li Xuanxin did not say anything else. Instead, he strode towards him. Xuan Mu smiled coldly and threw an Arhat Fist. ¡°You have a death wish. My punch has three hundred years of cultivation base. Can you block it?¡± Li Xuanxin was not flustered. He also punched out. The two fists collided. In an instant, a monstrous force blasted out from Li Xuanxin¡¯s fist. It exploded Xuan Mu¡¯s arm that had punched out. The wind from the punch slammed him ten meters back, creating a huge pit in the ground. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, this punch of mine has a 1,500 years of cultivation!¡± ¡°Pfft¡ª!¡± Xuan Mu spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Li Xuanxin in disbelief. A punch actually exploded his arm and all the bones in his body shattered. If not for the fact that his cultivation had already broken through three hundred years and his vitality was stronger, he would have died already! ¡°How¡­ how¡­ how is this possible? You¡­ you actually hid your strength!¡± Li Xuanxin¡¯s expression was indifferent. ¡°Good and evil will be repaid in the end. I can understand that you want to take revenge, but Master treats you like his own flesh and blood. What you¡¯re doing is no different from demons.¡± Xuan Mu was furious. ¡°Stop pretending to be a good person! You¡¯re strong, so of course you can¡¯t understand me! If I had your strength, I naturally wouldn¡¯t harm him.¡± ¡°Extremely absurd!¡± Li Xuanxin did not think that there was anything wrong with wanting to obtain power. However, there was no basis to hurt people who treated him well and his own master. ¡°Hmph! At this point, I don¡¯t care what you say. The Blood Fiend Ancestor is about to break out of the seal. He will definitely slaughter everyone in the Spirit Platform Temple. Let¡¯s see if you can defeat him!¡± ¡°If you can¡¯t win, you can wait for death!¡± With that, an extremely terrifying aura erupted from Spirit Platform Mountain. Xuan Mu laughed. ¡°I¡¯ll be waiting for you in hell! Hahahaha¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re hopeless!¡± Li Xuanxin shook his head. Then, he pressed his palms together and chanted the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture. Xuan Mu glanced at him disdainfully. ¡°It¡¯s futile! Even if you have a thousand years of cultivation, so what? There are many experts in Spirit Platform Temple who have cultivated for a thousand years, but who can stop the Blood Fiend Ancestor from escaping? Your deaths are¡­¡± As he spoke, his voice suddenly stopped! Xuan Mu¡¯s pupils constricted, as if he had seen the most unimaginable thing in his life! The Immovable Wisdom King Scripture at the 108th level of perfection circulated. Buddhist lights appeared above Li Xuanxin¡¯s head like a true Buddha descending! Golden lotuses appeared on the ground and Buddhist light slowly spread up the mountain. ¡°This¡­ this is the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture at the perfected realm? You are the Sacred Monk of Spirit Platform Temple?! This is impossible! I don¡¯t believe it! I don¡¯t believe it! Ahh¡ª! Impossib¡ª!¡± Xuan Mu, who was already on the verge of death, vomited blood and died under the huge shock! Li Xuanxin walked past him. [Killed the evil traitor with shock. Merit +741.] ¡­ Behind Spirit Platform Temple, the temple court heads were working together to suppress the Blood Fiend Ancestor. ¡°Hahaha¡­ you bunch of trash, stop wasting your efforts! When I come out, I¡¯ll smash your bald heads and drink your blood!¡± The temple elders trembled. ¡°Damn it! His demonic power is too strong. We can¡¯t hold on anymore!¡± ¡°A bunch of trash want to suppress me? Open!¡± However, at this moment, all of a sudden, golden lotuses appeared on the entire Spirit Platform Mountain. The Ten Thousand Buddhas opened their mouths and chanted the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture. In the sky, the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture¡¯s Dharma idol appeared again. It tore through the night and illuminated everything around it, crushing all the evil cultivators. The Blood Fiend Ancestor, who was about to come out, suddenly screamed. ¡°Ah¡ª! No¡ª! No! I can¡¯t accept this! Just a little more, just a little more!¡± Finally, peace returned. Everyone wiped their foreheads and smiled as if they had just survived a calamity. ¡°Amitabha!¡± ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to that senior.¡± ¡­ ¡­ The chaos in Spirit Platform Temple lasted for more than an hour. The abbot and the others sat in the hall with extremely solemn expressions. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that there would actually be disciples who were bewitched by the Blood Fiend Ancestor and fell into the demonic path. It seems that I have to be vigilant in the future and often check the disciples to ensure that their bodies are not contaminated by the evil aura.¡± ¡°This time, it¡¯s also a wake-up call for us. It made us vigilant.¡± ¡°However, we must capture Xuan Mu. He cultivates the Blood Fiend Devil Technique. If we leave him alone, he will definitely become a demon in the future.¡± At this moment, the disciples suddenly carried a corpse over. ¡°Abbot, Xuan Mu has been killed.¡± ¡°What?¡± Everyone immediately surrounded him. ¡°Is this really Xuan Mu?¡± Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios An abbot leaned down and touched the corpse twice. ¡°It¡¯s him. When he was chosen to enter the Zen Heart Court, I touched his bones.¡± ¡°However, how did he become like this? His muscles and bones are all broken!¡± The abbot looked at Xuan Mu¡¯s corpse that had already turned into paste and sighed. ¡°It¡¯s the Arhat Fist!¡± ¡°Gasp!¡± Everyone could not help but gasp, their eyes filled with shock. When did the Arhat Fist have such power? ¡­ After another hour, two elders walked out of the room in Hui Jue¡¯s courtyard. Xuan Shui and the others, including Li Xuanxin, who had returned for half a day, immediately went forward. ¡°Uncle-Masters, how¡¯s Master?¡± ¡°Amitabha. Senior Hui Jue¡¯s life is not in danger. He only has some superficial injuries on his face and his chest ribs are broken. He will be fine after recuperating for a few days. We have already prepared herbs and ointment for him. Help him take and apply them on time.¡± ¡°Thank you, Uncle-Masters.¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± The two monks left the small courtyard. The fellow disciples immediately entered the room. Looking at the dispirited Hui Jue on the bed, everyone could not help but feel a little sad. The two senior brothers began to sob softly. Another senior brother could not help but curse softly. ¡°Xuan Mu, who should be cut into pieces, is really ambitious. Master treats him so well, but he actually betrayed Master. He will definitely be torn into pieces, his soul will be destroyed, and his body and soul will perish for good!¡± Hearing this, Hui Jue closed his eyes as tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes. It was said that monks were indifferent to everything, but it was actually not the time to be sad. After all¡­ monks were also humans. Li Xuanxin consoled, ¡°Master, don¡¯t be sad. Everything is in the past. Just now, a disciple came to report that Xuan Mu is already dead.¡± Hui Jue remained silent. ¡°All of you can go back first. Master is in a low mood now. He needs to recuperate from his injuries. I¡¯ll watch tonight.¡± ¡°Senior, let me watch Master.¡± ¡°Senior Xuan Shui, let me do it. I didn¡¯t cultivate today. I¡¯m energetic tonight and won¡¯t fall asleep.¡± ¡­ The other senior brothers wanted to stay behind to guard it, but they were all dissuaded by Xuan Shui. Xuan Shui was the Eldest Senior Brother, and he was right. Master Hui Jue indeed needed to recuperate now. Li Xuanxin knew that he had a trauma to overcome. It was impossible to resolve it anytime soon, so he did not say anything and left the small courtyard. However, he did not return to his residence directly. Instead, he headed to the forbidden land behind the mountain. There were some things that he had to do. After what happened just now, the defense of the back mountain was even stricter. However, to an expert like Li Xuanxin, no matter how strict the defense was, it was useless. With a thought, Li Xuanxin passed the guarding disciple and quietly arrived in front of the seal. The Immovable Wisdom King Scripture was used. Thick Buddhist power surged into the seal like an endless river. In the seal, the Blood Fiend Ancestor, who was meditating to accumulate strength, did not expect someone to suddenly attack. Caught off guard, he was sent flying. Boom¡ª! With a loud sound, the sealed Blood Fiend Ancestor roared. ¡°Bastard! Who is it?¡± However, another attack responded! Then came the third, fourth, fifth¡­ The attacks were endless, causing the Blood Fiend Ancestor immense pain. He wanted to resist, but this seal was a Buddhist seal. The Buddhist power outside could pour in, but the demonic power inside could not counterattack. For a time, the Blood Fiend Ancestor became a living target! ¡°Ahhh¡­ Get down if you have the guts. I¡¯ll definitely kill you!¡± With that, another Buddhist light struck his face, causing his Essence Soul to change shape. At this point, the Buddhist light formed Li Xuanxin¡¯s appearance. He stood under the seal with his hands behind his back. His body shone with golden light like a true Buddha. The Blood Fiend Ancestor got up in a sorry state and narrowed his eyes at Li Xuanxin. ¡°Why did you hit me?¡± ¡°Because you deserve it.¡± ¡°Is it because of Xuan Mu?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not interested in Xuan Mu, but you almost killed my master.¡± The Blood Fiend Ancestor clenched his fists. ¡°A few days ago, that sudden increase in Buddhist power caused me to be unable to break through the seal. Was it also because of you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ¡°Good! Good! Good!¡± The Blood Fiend Ancestor was so angry that he said ¡®good¡¯ three times! ¡°Just you wait. When I go out, the first person I kill will be you.¡± ¡°Then you have to come first!¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­ Interesting, really interesting! I¡¯ll definitely take your head in three months.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll wait.¡± The Buddhist light shook and Li Xuanxin¡¯s figure began to dissipate. The Blood Fiend Ancestor spat. ¡°In a few days, the disciples of the Three Deities Sect should be done with making the Blood Bodhi! I¡¯m about to leave!¡± ¡­ In the next few days, Li Xuanxin did not leave. His master was in a bad mood and he was worried. On the sixth day, Hui Jue finally came out of his hut with a walking stick and basked under the roof. One side of his temple and arm were wrapped in a bandage. Li Xuanxin, who had just arrived at the courtyard, felt a sense of familiarity. He was like a bad old man who liked to collect eyes in an anime in his previous life. ¡°Are you feeling better?¡± Li Xuanxin sat beside his master and helped Old Monk Hui Jue adjust his bandage. Old Monk Hui Jue looked much more haggard, but his eyes were not as dark as before. Clearly, he had thought things through. ¡°I¡¯ve already told Senior Brother Abbot to let the few of you become disciples of my other fellow disciples.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to be in a hurry to reject me. I didn¡¯t judge my disciple clearly and caused the deaths of all the disciples. I can¡¯t escape the responsibility.¡± ¡°In the next three years, I will recite scriptures and recite Buddhist scriptures at the back of the mountain to pray for the dead disciples. I can no longer teach you anything.¡± ¡°Three years? Just nice. I¡¯m going out to travel and will leave for three years. When I return, you can come out of seclusion and teach me again.¡± Old Monk Hui Jue was stunned and lowered his head. ¡°Why? A stupid master like me is not worthy of teaching you.¡± ¡°In that case, since I didn¡¯t manage to cultivate for five years, wouldn¡¯t I be a stupid disciple? A stupid disciple and a stupid master are a perfect match.¡± Old Monk Hui Jue was amused. ¡°You brat.¡± However, as he smiled, his eyes turned red and he began to nag again. ¡°The people of the martial world are sinister. Don¡¯t trust others easily¡­¡± ¡°Try not to travel at night. At night, the Yin Qi is dense and demons and ghosts will come out of their cages¡­¡± ¡°Try your best to take the main road when going out. It¡¯s best if there are people accompanying you¡­¡± ¡°When encountering powerful demons, one has to know to run and not foolishly go up and fight¡­¡± ¡°Wear thicker clothes when it¡¯s cold¡­¡± ¡°If you miss home, come back early¡­¡± Li Xuanxin was completely relieved. He was most afraid that the old monk would take things too hard. After all, he had suffered such a huge blow. Now that he saw the old monk thinking about him, Lin Xuanxin knew he would not do anything stupid. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m not a child. I¡¯m leaving.¡± ¡°What are you panicking for? I¡¯ll get your Eldest Senior Brother to cook some vegetarian food and send you off at noon.¡± ¡°No, I didn¡¯t tell my senior brothers. It¡¯s sad to leave. If everyone cries, I won¡¯t be able to bear to leave.¡± ¡°You brat!¡± Hui Jue scolded with a smile. Then, he retracted his smile and said seriously, ¡°In three years, you must return in time. At that time, the Diamond Monastery¡¯s Master Zhi Shan will go to the Shaolin Temple, the Bodhi Temple, and come to our Spirit Platform Temple to discuss Buddhist Dharma.¡± ¡°He is an expert above the Firmament Realm. He has cultivated for hundreds of years and has a deep cultivation. It is said that he has more than three thousand years of cultivation base!¡± ¡°This Buddhist Discussion is rare in a hundred years. It is a great opportunity for the Buddhist disciples. If you watch, you may be able to obtain some rare insights.¡± ¡°Although it¡¯s impossible for you to enter the Zen Heart Court, it¡¯s still good to increase your cultivation.¡± ¡°A Firmament Realm expert? I understand.¡± Li Xuanxin stood up and left. When he reached the door, he suddenly paused. ¡°Master.¡± ¡°Yes?¡± ¡°Do you especially like the Zen Heart Court?¡± ¡°Of course. When I joined Spirit Platform Temple, my goal was to enter the Zen Heart Court. It¡¯s just that my potential is too poor and my standard is not high enough.¡± Therefore, he could only settle for the next best thing and want to nurture a disciple. ¡°However, from the looks of it, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll have to wait until your next life.¡± At this point, the darkness and emptiness appeared in Hui Jue¡¯s eyes again. There was no hope. ¡°I see¡­ Then, when I return in three years, Master, help me register for the Zen Heart Court.¡± Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Li Xuanxin left. He wore a white monk robe and carried a bamboo basket on his back. He wore a bamboo hat and held a Buddhist staff. He was untainted by dust and walked towards the mortal world filled with sins. Xuan Shui carried a bag of dumplings and chased to the entrance of the mountain, but Li Xuanxin was already gone. He gasped and hurriedly asked the mountain guard disciples. ¡°Junior Brothers, have you seen my junior, Xuanxin?¡± ¡°Senior Xuanxin has already left the mountain.¡± ¡°How long have you been walking?¡± ¡°A while ago.¡± Xuan Shui sighed slightly, his eyes a little sore. ¡°Junior, come back soon.¡± The disciples under Hui Jue had a good relationship. Today, when they learned that their junior was going to leave the mountain to travel, Xuan Shui hurriedly brought the dumplings that he had made for his master last night. Unexpectedly, he was a step too late. ¡­ At the same time, at the foot of Spirit Platform Mountain, a few black shadows gathered. ¡°After spending half a year slaughtering a total of 108 people born during the Yin year, Yin month, and Yin hour, we finally created the Blood Bodhi.¡± ¡°As long as we put this Blood Bodhi into the seal, we can let the ancestor recover a lot of his cultivation and successfully break through the seal.¡± ¡°That being said, the few of us only have less than two hundred years of cultivation on average. There are many experts in Spirit Platform Temple, so I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be easy for us to enter. If we can find a little monk and skin him alive, it shouldn¡¯t be difficult for us to sneak into the Spirit Platform Temple with the Skin Wearing Technique.¡± ¡°But¡­ where can we find a novice monk in this short period of time?¡± Just as they finished speaking, they suddenly saw a white figure walking over slowly with a bamboo basket on his back. They looked at each other and smiled. ¡°What the heck?¡± ¡°The little monk of Spirit Platform Temple has at most a few years of cultivation. Our cultivation levels are terrifying. If we¡¯re not careful, we might kill him. The Skin Wearing Technique needs to be skinned from a living person. Don¡¯t use too much strength, lest you accidentally kill him.¡± ¡°Go!¡± The figures tapped their feet and turned into shadows again, heading straight for the other party. The little monk who came from the foot of the mountain was none other than Li Xuanxin. Actually, he had already sensed their auras. Ever since he stepped into the River Realm, Li Xuanxin had formed an Essence Soul. He could spread an invisible thought and sense his surroundings. He finally understood the meaning of the River Realm. Although he was an ant, he could ignore the river¡¯s momentum. He could already be said to have transcended mortals. However, he did not expect these people to rush towards him. There were tens of thousands of monks in Spirit Platform Temple and countless disciples on missions outside. These people¡­ chose him. Life was truly full of uncertainties. The few of them were very fast. Their strength was about two hundred years of cultivation. In a few breaths, they arrived beside Li Xuanxin. ¡°What a tender little monk. Unfortunately, we have to borrow this skin.¡± The evil aura followed the black shadow and approached Li Xuanxin. Li Xuanxin was not flustered. He made the Flame Seal. ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± The golden light of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation lit up and their pupils constricted. That terrifying aura approached like a mountain pressing down on them, causing their breathing to instantly freeze and their hearts to stop beating! This fellow was not a novice monk! He was a peerless monk! This method was definitely ranked at the top of Spirit Platform Temple! Damn it, how was this possible? He looked so young. He did not look like he had used a Youthful Technique at all. He was truly a youngster. Such a young kid had already reached such a terrifying cultivation level. How strong was his potential? He could probably be ranked in the entire Great Zhou! At this moment, they were in extreme despair. They wanted to escape, but it was already too late. Not only was Li Xuanxin strong, but her speed was also terrifyingly fast. The moment they saw the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation, their skin had already been burned into charcoal. Then, their entire bodies were directly carbonized and finally turned into dust, completely disappearing without a trace. Until the moment before their deaths, they still did not understand. What kind of monstrous existence had they encountered today? After Li Xuanxin destroyed them in an instant, the Merit Golden Lotus also lit up. [Expiated the five evil disciples of the Demon Cult. Merit points +5,900.] ¡­ In the next few days, Li Xuanxin subdued demons and devils along the way. [Killed the Human-Devouring Evil Wyrm. Merit +790.] ¡­ [Expiated a zombie old lady in Wu Family Village. Merit +118.] ¡­ [Killed 34 bandits on Xu Lin Mountain. Merit +1,071.] ¡­ The increase in merit made Li Xuanxin feel relieved. At this rate, why would he worry about not having a million merit points? It was simply indescribable. More importantly, his cultivation level was also rapidly increasing. His cultivation base increased by two years every day, meaning ten years in a few days. ¡­ ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± ¡°Ah¡ª!¡± On the nameless mountain, with a word from the Immovable Wisdom King Mantra, Li Xuanxin casually killed a harmful yellow-skinned spirit. [Killed yellow-skinned spirit. Merit +75.] He glanced at his information. Li Xuanxin (Owner of the Merit Golden Lotus) Race: Human Cultivation: 1,620 years (River Realm) Cultivation Technique: Immovable Wisdom King Scripture (108th level, perfected) Immovable Wisdom King Incantation (10th level / 108th level) Arhat Fist (12th level, perfected) ¡­ Merit: 18,700 ¡°I already have more than ten thousand merit points.¡± Li Xuanxin smiled. ¡°Merit Golden Lotus, increase it for me.¡± [15,000 merit points were consumed. The Immovable Wisdom King Incantation has increased by one level.] Not bad, it had increased by another level. Li Xuanxin was in a good mood. He glanced at the foot of the mountain and saw a tea house. He smiled and moved as if he was flying. In a few breaths, he arrived at the tea house. ¡°Waiter, get me a pot of water.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll do it.¡± The waiter quickly served the water. Li Xuanxin sipped his tea quietly as he listened to the people in the tea house chat. ¡°¡­Do you know? Constable Huang is taking in another concubine.¡± ¡°This old man is so shameless. How many virgins has he harmed? He¡¯s not afraid of retribution.¡± ¡°I heard that it was because he suffered retribution and was tainted by an evil creature. All his sons died. None of them survived. This time, he took in concubines to raise the spirits!¡± ¡°Whose girl is it this time?¡± ¡°Who else can it be? It¡¯s Old Man Yang¡¯s. He¡¯s the tenant of Constable Huang. He rented the land but couldn¡¯t pay the rent so he used his daughter to repay the debt. That daughter of his is only in her teens. What a sin!¡± ¡°Evil creature¡­¡± Li Xuanxin took a sip of cold water. It seemed that going to Constable Huang¡¯s house should be fruitful. At this moment, a sloppy monk holding a fan rubbed the plaster on his chest and walked into the tea house. ¡°Shopkeeper, give me a pot of top-notch Biluochun tea!¡± The shopkeeper glanced at him and raised his eyebrows. ¡°Go away, where did this beggar come from?¡± The sloppy monk was not angry. He smiled cheekily, ¡°I¡¯m not a beggar. I came to your shop to give you good karma.¡± The shopkeeper laughed in anger. ¡°Good karma? A pot of Biluochun tea costs one tael of silver. Your good karma is too expensive. It¡¯s fine, I don¡¯t want it.¡± The sloppy monk waved his hand. ¡°Shopkeeper, you really don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you. That pot of Biluochun tea is only one tael of silver. My good karma is worth ten thousand taels of silver. It can ensure your family¡¯s safety¡­¡± ¡°Stop fooling around. You don¡¯t even understand it yourself. You don¡¯t even have proper clothes and still want to protect my family. Hurry up and leave. Don¡¯t disturb my business.¡± Seeing that the shopkeeper was stubborn, the sloppy monk glanced around the tea house. In the end, his gaze landed on Li Xuanxin. He came forward with a smile and took out a yellow talisman. ¡°Young friend, the Buddhists of the world are one family. I have a Safety Talisman that can exorcize spirits and eliminate calamity. I¡¯ll sell it to you. One tael of silver, do you want it?¡± The shopkeeper hurriedly reminded, ¡°Little Master, don¡¯t be fooled. This beggar¡¯s talisman is most likely toilet paper picked up from the roadside. It¡¯s worthless!¡± Li Xuanxin¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise. His cultivation was extraordinary, so he could naturally tell at a glance that this talisman was extraordinary. It was not an ordinary mortal item. It was already considered a Dharma treasure. This thing was worth a thousand or twenty thousand taels of silver! The monk in front of him could actually take out such a thing and only sell it for a tael. It was quite amazing. He took out a small red cloth bag from the bamboo basket. ¡°Senior¡¯s talisman is expensive, but I only have 50 taels of silver. It¡¯ll be a loss to you.¡± Li Xuanxin had never been the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others. Besides, money was nothing to him, so he did not really use one tael of silver to buy this talisman. ¡°Eh, I didn¡¯t expect you to know your stuff.¡± The monk was also quite surprised. Li Xuanxin was so young, but he could actually tell at a glance that this talisman was extraordinary. His cultivation was definitely not ordinary. He held fifty taels of silver and waved it at the shopkeeper. ¡°What you say doesn¡¯t count. Hehe. Hurry up and serve tea. I want to drink with this friend.¡± The shopkeeper did not say anything else and hurriedly prepared. The monk smiled. ¡°Where are you from, young friend? You¡¯re so young, but you¡¯re so capable.¡± ¡°I am Xuanxin of Spirit Platform Temple.¡± ¡°So it¡¯s young friend Xuanxin. Spirit Platform Temple is not close to here. Young friend, you actually traveled such a long distance. I¡¯m impressed!¡± ¡°Senior, you flatter me. My cultivation is nothing.¡± ¡°Young friend, don¡¯t be polite. It¡¯s impossible for someone who can see the value of my talisman to not have some judgment! I¡¯m the Shaolin Temple, Elder Xing Yun! I¡¯ve traveled the mortal world for many years.¡± ¡°So it¡¯s a senior from the Shaolin Temple. Sorry for my lack of manners.¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome. I¡¯ve been to Spirit Platform Temple in my early years. I¡¯ve seen your Xuan Guo and other outstanding juniors, but I¡¯ve never seen you before.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t entered the Spirit Platform Temple for long.¡± ¡°Oh, I see.¡± Xing Yun nodded and praised Li Xuanxin even more. It had not been long since he had entered the Spirit Platform Temple, but Li Xuanxin¡¯s cultivation and state of mind were both extremely deep. His Buddhist comprehension was definitely not ordinary. Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At this moment, the waiter brought over a pot of Biluochun tea. ¡°Come, have some tea.¡± Xing Yun poured Li Xuanxin a cup of tea and said, ¡°Recently, the mortal world has not been peaceful. There are demons everywhere and it¡¯s quite dangerous. Young friend, you have to be careful when you come here. However, with this talisman I sold you, as long as you don¡¯t encounter demons with a thousand years of cultivation, staying alive is not a problem.¡± Li Xuanxin nodded. The two of them chatted for a while more. Xing Yun seemed to be very talkative. His mouth was like a machine gun, chattering non-stop. At this moment, a trumpet suddenly sounded from the walkway outside the door. Everyone looked over. ¡°The one getting married must be Constable Huang¡¯s daughter.¡± ¡°Constable Huang is already in his seventies this year, right? How sinful!¡± ¡­ Everyone pointed. Xing Yun narrowed his eyes and smiled. ¡°A bunch of mortals who can¡¯t see through the truth of the world. How is this marrying? This is courting death.¡± Li Xuanxin also glanced at the bridal escort team outside. Her eyes moved slightly. There was a faint evil aura on the carriage. It seemed that it was most likely not anything good. Xing Yun drank the last cup of tea and smiled. ¡°Young friend, we had a good chat today, but I have something to do. I¡¯ll take my leave first. During this period of time, I¡¯ll be in West Shu. We¡¯ll meet again if fate allows.¡± Li Xuanxin nodded. ¡°Senior, take care.¡± ¡°Take care, take care. You too.¡± Monk Xing Yun walked out of the door with a smile. He passed by the counter and threw a tael of silver to the shopkeeper. ¡°Keep the money for the tea. I¡¯m leaving.¡± The shopkeeper spat. ¡°What a despicable person!¡± At this moment, Li Xuanxin walked in front of the shopkeeper, who put on a smile. ¡°Little Master, what request do you have?¡± ¡°I want to ask if there are any demons around? Or if there are any strange rumors.¡± He originally wanted to go to Constable Huang¡¯s house to take a look, but Old Monk Xing Yun should have gone to the Huang family, so there was no need for him to go again. Moreover, Old Monk Xing Yun had already stepped into the River Realm. His cultivation level exceeded a thousand years. He should be quite a figure in the Shaolin Temple. Li Xuanxin did not want to expose his cultivation in front of someone like him. ¡°I¡¯m not sure about the demons, but I heard that the City Lord of Forest River City is gathering cultivators to suppress Old Devil Black Mountain. There are very generous resources as rewards. I heard that many cultivators have gone to register.¡± Li Xuanxin nodded and put down a tael of silver. ¡°Thank you. Here¡¯s the money for the tea.¡± ¡°Little Master, you drank cold water. You only need to pay ten copper coins.¡± ¡°The rest is the information fee.¡± ¡°Little Master is a decent person and straightforward! Unlike that old beggar. I¡¯ll save your money for you. If you come for tea in the future, I¡¯ll deduct it from your account.¡± ¡°Boss, you¡¯re welcome.¡± Li Xuanxin bid farewell to the boss and rushed towards Forest River City. ¡­ On the other side, the bridal escort team with Old Man Yang¡¯s daughter also arrived at Constable Huang¡¯s house. However, the moment he entered, Monk Xing Yun walked over from behind. There were countless movement techniques in the world. The Shaolin Water Floating Technique was also famous. One could float in the air and move like the wind. It was extremely magical. ¡°Hahaha¡­ Amitabha, there¡¯s a joyous occasion in the Huang Residence today. This old monk came uninvited.¡± In the hall, Constable Huang, who was wearing a groom¡¯s robe and was already past his seventies, was suddenly stunned. ¡°Master, why have you suddenly come to my Huang Family?¡± The old monk entered the hall and entered a meditative state. He raised his hand and said, ¡°Amitabha. I¡¯m here for Benefactor Huang¡¯s new wife. She cultivated an evil technique and probably wants to harm you.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Constable Huang looked a little surprised. As for the little bride, she suddenly lifted her veil and raised her hand to grab Constable Huang¡¯s neck. Constable Huang was shocked. Only then did he see that his bride¡¯s ten nails were as black as ink. It was extremely terrifying. ¡°Evil creature, why aren¡¯t you stopping?¡± Xing Yun shouted and raised his hand to send a golden light flying. ¡°Pfft¡ª!¡± The little bride spat out a mouthful of blood. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Constable Huang suddenly attacked. His palm, mixed with a powerful evil power, emitted a dense black light and ruthlessly struck Xing Yun¡¯s ribs. ¡°Pfft¡ª!¡± Xing Yun spat out a mouthful of blood and was instantly sent flying. Xing Yun vomited blood and flew backward. His body rolled into the courtyard, his expression extremely shocked. A black nail had already appeared under his arm. ¡°Soul Burial Nail! This is the Soul Burial Nail of the Three Deities Sect! Why do you have it?¡± Constable Huang walked out of the living room with a smile. When he passed by Yang Xiu¡¯er, he crushed her spine with his foot, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood. As she lay on the ground, no one knew if she was dead or alive. ¡°You can still recognize the Soul Burial Nail. Not bad, you have good judgment. To tell you the truth, I¡¯ve long become a disciple of the Three Deities Sect¡¯s Ancestor Black Mountain and cultivate a Sage Technique. ¡°My previous concubines, my sons and daughters¡­ were all personally killed by me to help me cultivate my Sage Technique.¡± ¡°Unfortunately, their blood essence was too weak, so I deliberately set up this trap to attract righteous cultivators. I didn¡¯t expect to really catch a big fish!¡± ¡°Now that you¡¯ve been struck by the Soul Burial Nail, it¡¯s already very fortunate that you can unleash a third of your thousand years of cultivation.¡± ¡°Tsk tsk, a senior monk at the River Realm. If I can devour your blood essence, my strength will probably increase greatly. Wonderful, wonderful!¡± Xing Yun spat out a mouthful of blood and raised his palm. ¡°Tathagata Divine Palm!¡± ¡°Oh no!¡± Constable Huang¡¯s expression changed drastically as he immediately retreated into the living room. The Tathagata Divine Palm was one of the four top combat techniques of the Buddhist Sect. It was famous throughout the world, so he naturally knew about it. Even if Xing Yun was struck by the Soul Burial Nail and could only unleash about a third of his strength, the Tathagata Divine Palm he used could not be underestimated. However, when Constable Huang entered the living room, he did not sense any movement. His expression changed. ¡°Damn it! I fell for it.¡± Xing Yun was severely injured and probably could not use the Tathagata Divine Palm anymore! When he rushed out, as expected, Xing Yun had already fled. ¡°Chase! This is a senior monk at the River Realm. His blood vitality is dense. Don¡¯t let him escape. I must drink his blood!¡± With a command, a few figures jumped off the wall and followed the direction of the blood. ¡­ On the other side, Li Xuanxin had also arrived at Forest River City. Forest River City was built against a mountain and surrounded by water on three sides. To enter Forest River City, one had to take the mountain path in the west and take a boat in the east. ¡°Sit~ on the boat~¡± At this moment, a voice quietly sounded. Li Xuanxin looked over and narrowed his eyes. With his Dharmic powers at the River Realm, he could instantly see through the illusion. It was not a ship, but a huge turtle! Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°If demons appear rampantly, how can the people live in peace?¡± Li Xuanxin sighed and walked forward. ¡°Master, do you want to take the boat? My boat is free.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Li Xuanxin agreed and stepped onto the boat. The boatman began to row the boat while Li Xuanxin took out a booklet. This was a book he had recently bought. It was specially used to record some information about the martial world. For example¡­ some messy rankings¡­ Handsome Ranking¡­ Beauty Ranking¡­ There was also the Five-Colored Lotus. The introduction was the same as what he had seen in the Sutra Pavilion. If a Five-Colored Lotus was eaten, there was a certain chance of obtaining the memories of his previous life. He thought of the sword immortal in his dream who had resisted billions of demons alone. Li Xuanxin shook his head. Unfortunately, he had already postured in his previous life. It had nothing to do with the current him. So angry! ¡°Little Master¡­¡± At this moment, the boatman suddenly shouted at Li Xuanxin. ¡°What is it?¡± The boatman smiled, ¡°Little Master, although I don¡¯t charge a fee for taking the boat, I have a rule. Those who take the boat must carve their names on the boat as a memento. Little Master is a benevolent monk. You won¡¯t let me down, right?¡± Li Xuanxin put away the book and smiled coldly. ¡°What a great free business you have. It seems to be free, but it actually makes people leave their names for you to absorb their essence. Those whose essence is sucked away by you will suffer from a serious illness at best and consume two years of their lifespan at worst!¡± ¡°You¡¯re asking for more than money.¡± The boatman¡¯s expression changed drastically, but he still suppressed his laughter. ¡°Little Master, what are you saying? Why can¡¯t I understand anything?¡± ¡°Evil creature! Aren¡¯t you going to show your true form?¡± Li Xuanxin shouted and smashed the staff into the ship. In an instant, the ship distorted and transformed into a huge turtle. The boatman was¡­ a turtle! ¡°Oh my goodness!¡± It screamed and sank into the river. Fortunately, Li Xuanxin was already a River Realm expert with a thousand years of cultivation. He circulated his movement technique and easily stood on the water. ¡°You want to run? Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± The Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Devil Subduing Incantation was activated. Golden lotuses bloomed on the water surface. Golden light appeared at the back of Li Xuanxin¡¯s head like a true Buddha descending. The golden lotus sank into the water. Buddhist light appeared and swept in all directions, directly capturing the old turtle. ¡°Exalted Immortal, please spare me! I know my mistake. I¡¯m willing to put down the butcher¡¯s knife and become a Buddha!¡± ¡°Evil creature! Why didn¡¯t you say to put down the butcher¡¯s knife when harming others? If you can¡¯t defeat me, do you think you can just put down the butcher¡¯s knife? It¡¯s too late!¡± ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± With a sharp shout, the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Flame World Incantation was activated, directly burning the old turtle¡¯s meat. ¡°Ah¡ª!¡± The old turtle let out a miserable cry. Its stomach rolled over and the air emitted a dense fragrance of turtle meat! [Killed the evil turtle demon. Merit +267.] ¡°Amitabha.¡± Li Xuanxin chanted the Buddhist mantra and flew towards Forest River City, leaving the old turtle behind. The fish and prawns in the river fought to eat its corpse. In its life, it had stolen the lifespan of countless people. Now that it was dead, it was being fought over by fish and prawns. It deserved this fate! He had just entered Forest River City when he saw an official shouting from the city gate. ¡°¡­Everyone, Old Devil Black Mountain has invaded our home and killed so many of our family. Now, the City Lord has given the order to send the Immortal Master of the Fiend Suppression Division to help. We will find other heroic people in the martial world to form an alliance to suppress Old Devil Black Mountain. I hope that everyone can sign up.¡± Below the platform, people discussed. There were also disciples from some sects on the street sending out publicity pamphlets. Li Xuanxin walked in the crowd and ate a steamed bun while releasing his divine sense to listen to everyone¡¯s discussion. ¡°I heard that this time, the City Lord has also issued a recruitment notice in the surroundings. He¡¯s not only dealing with Old Devil Black Mountain, but also many other demonic cultivators.¡± ¡°Well done! We should have attacked them long ago.¡± ¡°Our Forest River City has already gathered dozens of large and small sects. It¡¯s said that the Daoist¡¯s Dragon Tiger Sect, the Butterfly Orchid Sect¡­ the Buddhist¡¯s Little Maitreya Sect, Little Buddha Temple¡­ and the Confucian¡¯s Righteousness Sect¡­ are all involved.¡± Li Xuanxin¡¯s heart stirred. With so many sects attacking together, should he join them and form a team? If there were many people, it would be safer to fish in troubled waters. Just like in games, there was a huge difference between having a teammate and not having one. ¡°Wow! Even the Dragon Tiger Sect, the Little Maitreya Sect, and the Righteousness Sect are participating? Oh my god! That Old Devil Black Mountain is definitely dead this time.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Zhang Yixing of the Dragon Tiger Sect has already reached 840 years of cultivation. He¡¯s extremely close to the River Realm! That abbot of the Little Maitreya Sect is also an expert with 680 years of cultivation!¡± ¡°Even the weakest sect master of the Righteousness Sect is a 400-year-cultivation scholar!¡± ¡°Not to mention the Fiend Suppression Division and the experts of the other sects. If they join forces, Old Devil Black Mountain will definitely die!¡± Hearing this, Li Xuanxin suddenly stopped. The highest cultivation level¡­ was only 840 years? ¡®Forget it then.¡¯ Forming a team was a good thing, but it also depended on who it was with. Teaming up with an expert was leeching. Teaming up with trash was carrying. Not only would he be restrained, but there would also be a lot of trouble. Forget it, he should do it alone. His strength had already exceeded 1,500 years. If he could not even deal with Old Devil Black Mountain, they would only be feeding him. ¡°Master, we are recruiting talents to attack Old Devil Black Mountain. I wonder if you are willing to join us.¡± Li Xuanxin was about to leave when a female voice sounded. He turned around and saw two female disciples of the Butterfly Orchid Sect. Their cultivation bases had exceeded ten years. ¡°Master, Old Devil Black Mountain is a profound figure. He was once an expert left behind by the Ghost Domain when the Three Realms invaded a thousand years ago. After a thousand years of development, his strength has increased greatly. It¡¯s said that he has already broken through to the River Realm!¡± ¡°Under him are countless powerful demons and ghost soldiers.¡± ¡°We need to unite all forces that can be united. I hope that you can also contribute to West Shu. We are extremely grateful!¡± One of the female cultivators with a larger chest spoke again, her eyes filled with hope. However, Li Xuanxin did not agree. ¡°My cultivation level is shallow, so I won¡¯t join in the fun.¡± Since he had already decided to farm alone, there was no need to waste time with these ordinary people. The other female cultivator muttered softly, ¡°What a coward.¡± Her companion immediately chided, ¡°Xiao Ying, don¡¯t be rude.¡± ¡°Senior Sister Yan Ran, you¡¯re too easy to talk to. As a member of the righteous path, how can he ignore our danger? If he doesn¡¯t do his best for the righteous path, such a person should be despised!¡± ¡°He¡¯s even wearing a bamboo hat and pretending. Is he afraid that others will see his face?¡± ¡°Xiao Ying, if you continue to be rude, I¡¯m going to be angry.¡± The female cultivator¡¯s expression darkened. Although Xiao Ying was not convinced, she could only keep quiet. Then, she apologized to Li Xuanxin again. ¡°Master, I¡¯m really sorry. My junior sister has always been outspoken, but she¡¯s not a bad person.¡± Li Xuanxin did not care. Experts on the high mountains were within reach of the stars. How could he lower his status just because of an ant¡¯s words? Why would he lower his head and bend down to look at them? However, at this moment, he stared at the sky through the gauze of his bamboo hat and said indifferently. ¡°Find a place to hide.¡± The two of them were stunned and did not understand. Xiao Ying could not understand his profound appearance and felt that he was pretending. She wanted to mock him when suddenly, the sky darkened and dark clouds covered the sky. ¡°Eh? Why is it dark?¡± ¡°It¡¯s demons. Demons are coming. Everyone, hide.¡± On the street, someone had already discovered the reason why the sky had darkened. The female cultivator, Yan Ran, and Xiao Ying¡¯s pupils constricted. There was nothing unusual on the streets just now, but Li Xuanxin had discovered demons in advance? How did he discover it? Before they could ask, a huge bat demon rushed out of the black clouds and pounced at the ground. ¡°The Black Mountain Token is glowing. The people marked by Lord Black Mountain are in the town below. Kill them all!¡± The bat demon opened its bloody mouth. The hundreds of vengeful spirits it had devoured in the deep mountains instantly transformed into ghost-faced black smoke that attacked the town. For a time, a violent wind blew in the town. Sand and rocks flew as screams sounded everywhere. People began to panic and run wildly. The cultivators also began to fight the ghosts. ¡°It¡¯s one of the nine demons under Old Devil Black Mountain, the bat demon! This demon has four hundred years of cultivation. It can spit out vengeful spirits and fight. Its strength is even more terrifying. Hurry up and save the rest.¡± The female cultivator, Yan Ran, had already recognized the other party. She immediately pulled out her sword and rushed into the chaotic crowd. Her junior, Xiao Ying, followed closely behind. There were two or three experts in the town with more than a hundred years of cultivation. They soared into the sky and wanted to join forces to fight the bat demon. However, the difference in strength was too great. With a flap of the bat demon¡¯s wings, a stream of astral qi descended like a waterfall, causing them to spit out blood and be sent flying. The entire town fell into danger. Li Xuanxin¡¯s gaze was like ice. To kill in broad daylight, this demon was too arrogant! Without any delay, Li Xuanxin attacked. ¡°Amitabha!¡± Chapter 20 - Xing Yuns Shock, Number One in the Buddhist Faction? Chapter 20 Xing Yun¡¯s Shock, Number One in the Buddhist Faction? ¡°Amitabha.¡± It was neither loud nor soft, but it seemed to reach everyone¡¯s ears. In the next moment, the Immovable Wisdom King Dharma idol rose from the ground and spread to ten thousand feet in the blink of an eye, piercing into the sky! Its power was illustrious and Buddhist light shone everywhere. In just a moment, it moved the world. The wind and clouds reversed and the dark clouds quickly dispersed. Hundreds of vengeful spirits evaporated in an instant. The extremely arrogant bat demon did not dodge either. Under the light of the Buddhist light, black smoke instantly surged from its body, emitting a corrosive sound. ¡°Ah-!¡± It let out an ear-piercing scream and turned to run. Li Xuanxin did not kill it. He only flicked his finger and shot out a Buddhist light that entered its body. Then, he retracted the Immovable Wisdom King Dharma idol and left. Everyone in the town was dumbfounded. They stood rooted to the ground. The general under Old Devil Black Mountain, the bat demon, was instantly repelled and fled. It did not even last for a second? How strong was he to be able to do this? Perhaps even an ordinary River Realm cultivator could not reach this level, right? There was actually a peerless expert in this town! In fact, this was because Li Xuanxin¡¯s 108th level of the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture was too powerful. The further one progressed in the cultivation technique, the stronger it became. Even if it was the 80th or 90th level, there was still a huge difference between it and the 108th level! Yan Ran and Xiao Ying, who were about to swing their swords at the vengeful spirits, were stunned when they saw nothing. ¡°What¡­ just happened?¡± Everything happened too quickly. They did not even have the chance to react before the battle ended. The entire process probably took less than two seconds, right? After the shock, everyone immediately began to discuss. The entire street was filled with people. The cheers were endless. Everyone was excited about the demise of the demons. They was extremely excited! The two sisters turned their heads to where they had been standing. Unfortunately, Li Xuanxin was no longer there. ¡°Senior, just now¡­ did you hear ¡®Amitabha¡¯?¡± Yan Ran nodded. ¡°Do you think¡­ Is it him?¡± ¡°Probably!¡± Xiao Ying laughed at herself. ¡°The funny thing is that I even went to mock him. In the end, I didn¡¯t expect him to be such an expert. No wonder he¡¯s unwilling to join us. He probably thinks that we¡¯re not worthy of letting an expert like him join, right?¡± Yan Ran nodded. At this moment, she finally understood why the other party was so good-tempered and not angry at all. Because the other party was a tall mountain, and they were only two tiny ants. How could an ant attract the attention of a mountain? Just as she was feeling regretful, someone quickly reported from outside the town. ¡°Lord Baili of the Fiend Suppression Division has ordered all registered disciples and itinerant cultivators to gather in the southwest immediately.¡± Everyone¡¯s hearts sank. Was the crusade against Old Devil Black Mountain finally about to begin? On the other side, Li Xuanxin had already left the town. The reason why he did not kill the bat demon was to use it to find Old Devil Black Mountain. He wanted to know why Old Devil Black Mountain¡¯s subordinates were looking for trouble with him. The Buddhist light would hide in the body of the bat demon and not move. However, as long as there was a powerful evil force around the bat demon, it would be activated. At that time, he would find Old Devil Black Mountain¡¯s lair. After expiating hundreds of vengeful spirits, Li Xuanxin¡¯s merit points increased by tens of thousands. These merit points were all used to increase the level of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation! Unfortunately, this was a different world and he was not a streamer. Otherwise, he would definitely thank Old Devil Black Mountain for the gifts. After leaving Forest River City, Li Xuanxin stepped on the wind. He was constantly releasing his divine sense to check his surroundings to see if there were any demons or ghosts. Suddenly, Li Xuanxin raised his eyebrows. ¡°Old bald monk, you can¡¯t escape. Accept your death obediently. Hahahaha¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s actually him.¡± Li Xuanxin was a little surprised. He did not expect to see the old monk he had met in the tea house-Xing Yun. However, what surprised him even more was that Xing Yun was actually being chased by a few evil cultivators. He was at the early-stage of the River Realm and had reached a thousand years of cultivation. The strongest person on the other side had only reached three to four hundred years of cultivation. ¡°Young friend!¡± Xing Yun was also a little shocked to see Li Xuanxin. However, he quickly arrived beside him. ¡°Young friend, quickly take out the talisman I gave you. Hurry!¡± Li Xuanxin naturally knew what he wanted to do and shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s a pity to use that talisman to deal with these thieves.¡± ¡°They are not thieves. The leader, Constable Huang, is the disciple of Old Devil Black Mountain! I was hit by his Soul Burial Nail and my strength was greatly affected. I don¡¯t have much lifespan left.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t use that talisman, you will also die without a grave.¡± At this moment, Constable Huang and the other evil cultivators had already caught up. When they saw Li Xuanxin, Constable Huang¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°Another Buddhist disciple has arrived. Today, it¡¯s really the ancestor¡¯s blessing. It seems that I¡¯m going to be rich today! Capture them all, one old and one young. I want to use their bones to make soup!¡± Xing Yun¡¯s face was pale with despair. ¡°It¡¯s over!¡± He was severely injured and his cultivation had been damaged. He did not have long to live, and Li Xuanxin was so young. His cultivation was definitely not enough to deal with Constable Huang! Furthermore, at such a close distance, he could no longer release talismans. Unexpectedly, the two of them had just met and were about to die on the same day. How tragic! Forget it. Perhaps this was fate. At least, the two of them were not dying alone! Unfortunately, Li Xuanxin was so young¡­ However, just as his thoughts were running wild, Li Xuanxin¡¯s expression remained calm. He raised his hand and executed the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Devil Subduing Incantation! ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± The moment the Demon Subduing Incantation was used, golden light shone from his body. The Buddha statue rose and the golden light was like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through Constable Huang and the others. ¡°No¡ª!¡± Constable Huang had just let out a scream when he turned into dust and vanished without a trace. The Merit Golden Lotus flashed in Li Xuan¡¯s mind again. ¡°Expiated Constable Huang. Merit +496.¡± ¡°Expiated Li Erniu. Merit +89.¡± His gains were not bad. He had gained another few hundred merit points. Li Xuanxin put away the Single Seal and the Dharma idol vanished. When he looked at Xing Yun again, the latter was already dumbfounded and shocked. ¡°You¡­ you¡­ you¡­¡± Although he felt that Li Xuanxin was extraordinary when he was in the tea house, he only treated him as a young genius among young monks. Unexpectedly, Li Xuanxin¡¯s strength was so terrifying The aura that erupted just now was even stronger than his peak! ¡®This fellow is a River Realm expert?¡¯ What a joke! This fellow was probably not even twenty years old, right? A River Realm cultivator who was not even twenty years old? This fellow could be considered the number one in the entire Buddhist faction! The current generation Buddha Child? ¡°No¡ª!¡± He was no longer the number one in the Buddhist Sect. He was the number one in the world! The number one in the world! ¡°Hahaha¡­ I¡¯ve cultivated for two hundred years. Buddha didn¡¯t mistreat me after all. He let me meet you before I die!¡± Chapter 21 - Ancient Secret, Shaolin Mystical Power Chapter 21 Ancient Secret, Shaolin Mystical Power Li Xuanxin was silent. He wondered how shocked this old monk would be if he knew that he had only cultivated for a little more than a year. ¡°Senior, don¡¯t underestimate yourself. I was just lucky. Let me take a look at your injuries first.¡± Old Monk Xing Yun shook his head. ¡°I can¡¯t take it anymore. The Soul Burial Nail is a famous evil treasure of the Three Deities Sect. No one below the Mountain Sea Realm can resist it.¡± ¡°If I had pulled it out earlier, I could have been saved. But now, it has been too long.¡± ¡°If not for the fact that I have the strength of the River Realm, I¡¯m afraid I wouldn¡¯t be able to talk to you anymore.¡± As he spoke, he took out the small cloth bag Li Xuanxin had given him and laughed at himself. ¡°In the tea house, I once said that the talisman was sold to you for one tael of silver. You gave me fifty taels and I spent one tael on tea. Now, there are forty-nine taels left. Everything is the will of the heavens!¡± ¡°Senior¡­¡± Li Xuanxin did not know what to say. Old Monk Xing Yun was quite open-minded. ¡°Don¡¯t be sad for me. If I didn¡¯t meet you today, I would probably have been refined by Constable Huang. I would have died even more aggrievedly. This is already very good.¡± After a pause, he spoke again. ¡°However, this will also implicate Young Friend Xuanxin. Constable Huang is the disciple of Old Devil Black Mountain. If you kill his disciple, he will definitely realize something and will definitely not let this go. He will find you!¡± Li Xuanxin was stunned. Old Devil Black Mountain had such methods? However, he was not afraid. If Old Devil Black Mountain came, he could increase his merit. Besides, if he could win, so be it. If he really couldn¡¯t, couldn¡¯t he run away? He was not a fool. ¡°Ugh-¡° Old Monk Xing Yun suddenly clutched his chest where his heart was. His pupils dilated and one of his eyes was already scarlet. ¡°Senior.¡± Li Xuanxin frowned. He could sense that an evil aura had already appeared in Xing Yun¡¯s body. ¡°Young friend Xuanxin, my Essence Soul has been infected and I am about to become a demon. While I still have my rationality, kill me and destroy my soul. I can¡¯t harm the world.¡± ¡°Is there no way to save you?¡± Xing Yun smiled bitterly. ¡°My body has already been destroyed. If I was in the Shaolin Temple, where there are as many experts as there are clouds and where the Buddhist aura is deep, I can still reincarnate. Here, I need someone who can use the four great Buddhist scriptures of the perfected realm and gather the Buddhist aura.¡± ¡°However, there are very few people in the world who can use the Four Great Heart Sutras at the perfected realm. Therefore, I am destined to not be able to escape today.¡± Li Xuanxin was stunned for a moment before smiling ¡°What a coincidence.¡± Xing Yun was stunned. Before he could understand what was going on, his eyes suddenly widened as if he had seen the most unbelievable thing in the world! Li Xuanxin formed hand seals with both hands and chanted the Buddhist scriptures. In the next moment, a golden wheel of light appeared behind his head and shone. The surrounding ground was actually covered in lotuses. The surrounding Buddhist power gathered and formed a huge Buddha in the sky! The Buddhist chanting was as vast as the sea. Under the light of the Buddhist light, Xing Yun¡¯s Essence Soul could leave his body. The evil aura on his body had already been completely purified. The Merit Golden Lotus flickered. [Expiated Xing Yun. Merit +8,749.] Xing Yun was a senior monk of the Buddhist Sect. Saving him from joining the demonic path was a great merit! ¡°You¡­ you¡­ you¡­¡± Xing Yun¡¯s Essence Soul moved its mouth, but it could not say a word. Li Xuanxin smiled. ¡°Senior, aren¡¯t you going to reincarnate?¡± Xing Yun finally woke up, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he reached out and tapped twice, sending three cultivation techniques into the space between Li Xuanxin¡¯s eyebrows. ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°They¡¯re the three top-notch techniques of the Shaolin Temple. The Muscle Strengthening Scripture, the Tathagata Divine Palm, and the Water Floating Technique!¡± Li Xuanxin was shocked. ¡°Senior actually gave me the three ultimate techniques of Shaolin? Isn¡¯t this against the rules?¡± Xing Yun shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m not violating the rules of Shaolin, but the rules of Great Zhou.¡± ¡°In fact, a thousand years ago, the four Buddhist Sects were one.¡± ¡°According to legend, if all four Buddhist sects cultivated their Heart Sutras and Mystical Powers to the perfected realm, they could fuse them into one and create a Supreme Immortal Dao Dharma Mystical Power that far exceeded any cultivation technique in the world!¡± ¡°However, because the Buddhist faction was too powerful and threatened the Great Zhou Imperial Family, they split into the four great Buddhist Sects and strictly forbade their disciples from cultivating the cultivation techniques of the four great Buddhist Sects at the same time.¡± ¡°Because almost no one could cultivate the four great Buddhist techniques at the same time and reach the perfected realm, the Buddhist faction became weaker and weaker. The sects could no longer resist the Great Zhou Imperial Family.¡¯ ¡°In addition, the members of the Imperial Family were also in charge of various monasteries. They deliberately led the way and the difference between the sects became more and more serious. Everyone wanted to fight for first place, so they were naturally unwilling to let others learn the Mystical Powers of their sects.¡± ¡°However, when I saw Little Friend Xuanxin, I knew that he might be the person who had revived the Buddhist Sect!¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I taught you the Shaolin Mystical Powers.¡± Li Xuanxin was rather shocked. He had once heard from Uncle-Master Hui Neng that the Four Great Buddhist Sects were originally one. The Mystical Powers of the four Buddhist sects combined could create a Supreme Immortal Dao Dharma Mystical Power. However, he did not expect such a secret. This idiotic operation of the Great Zhou Empire really made him speechless. The mortal world was already threatened by the Three Realms. It was already very difficult for the humans to resist the demons. They still had to create internal strife. However, on careful thought, weren¡¯t humans the same on the planet in his previous life? They were about to run out of resources, yet they still fought each other all day? The outcome of humanity was self-destruction? The golden light on Xing Yun¡¯s body had already begun to dissipate. It slowly rose into the sky with his Essence Soul. ¡°Young friend Xuanxin, I¡¯m leaving. If possible, please send my ashes back to the Shaolin Temple and let me rest in peace!¡± ¡°In addition, you have to remember that before your cultivation level reaches the peak, you can¡¯t easily use the Shaolin Mystical Powers in front of others. Otherwise, there will be huge trouble.¡± ¡°Apart from that, you have to obtain the other two Heart Sutras and Mystical Powers.¡± ¡°I¡¯m leaving. I hope that you will have a bright future ahead of you! Amitabha!¡± Li Xuanxin pressed his palms together. ¡°Amitabha. Take care, Senior.¡± The Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Flame World Incantation was activated. Li Xuanxin burned Xing Yun¡¯s body and turned it into a relic. With some ashes, he placed it into a porcelain bottle. After doing all of this, Li Xuanxin sighed. Why did it feel like he was carrying a glorious and difficult mission? However, he was still very happy to obtain the Mystical Powers of the Shaolin Sect. There was naturally no need to talk about the reputation of the Tathagata Divine Palm. The Water Floating Technique was also a good thing. His basic Flying Steps movement technique was too trash. This could make up for it. There was also the Muscle Strengthening Scripture. Cultivating the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture allowed him to obtain two years of cultivation in a day. He wondered if cultivating two would provide four years of cultivation in a day. However, if he wanted to improve, he still needed merit. ¡°Old Devil Black Mountain¡­ should be worth a lot of merit, right?¡± ¡­ At the same time, in a huge mountain a thousand kilometers away, a burly figure more than ten meters tall suddenly appeared. ¡°Strange, why do I suddenly feel uneasy? Is someone targeting me?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Old Devil Black Mountain. You¡¯ve already been targeted by the humans!¡± A sudden voice made Old Devil Black Mountain shiver. He hurriedly knelt down to welcome him. ¡°I am the disciple of the Ghost Domain, Old Devil Black Mountain. Greetings, Sacred Envoy!¡± Chapter 22 - Conspiracy Chapter 22 Conspiracy Hearing this, not only was Old Devil Black Mountain not angry, but he was still smiling. ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for them to come knocking on my door.¡± The Sacred Envoy said indifferently, ¡°This group of cultivators is very rare. I have to kill them all and try my best to transform them into vengeful spirits and zombies to increase the strength of my Ghost Domain.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Sacred Envoy. This time, I¡¯ve prepared a feast for you. I¡¯m just waiting for them to come!¡± ¡°The thousand-year period is up. The seal on the Black Water River is about to be broken. In three years, the three commanders will definitely break out. It¡¯s time to fight!¡± Old Devil Black Mountain clenched his huge skeleton fist. His scarlet eyes flickered. ¡°After waiting for a thousand years, it¡¯s finally time. A thousand years ago, the humans exhausted their efforts and sealed the three generals in the Black Water River.¡± ¡°Now that the thousand years are up and the seal is about to be broken, the strength of the humans has become far inferior to a thousand years ago!¡± ¡°This world will definitely belong to us.¡± ¡°Since you have such intentions, I will definitely report it to the Ghost Marshal and record it down for you!¡± ¡°Thank you, Sacred Envoy! I, Old Devil Black Mountain, am willing to die for the Ghost Domain!¡± Just as he finished speaking, a black shadow swayed in the sky and slowly flew over. In the end, its strength was exhausted and it fell heavily on the hundred-foot-tall sea of bones of the Black Devil Mountain, causing countless bones to splatter. The Sacred Envoy could not help but frown. The red light in Old Devil Black Mountain¡¯s eyes also flickered. ¡°Black Mountain! This is¡­?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve embarrassed myself before you, Sacred Envoy. It¡¯s my subordinate, the bat demon. You fool, what are you doing? ¡°I asked you to capture that cultivator from the mortal world. Why are you in such a sorry state?¡± The bat demon struggled to get up. Its body was already riddled with holes, as if it had been burned by a fire. It said with a sobbing tone, ¡°My lord, please forgive me. It¡¯s not that I¡¯m useless. I really didn¡¯t expect to encounter a human expert and be injured instantly. If I didn¡¯t escape quickly, I might have died on the spot. My lord, you won¡¯t even be able to see me anymore.¡± ¡°Human experts? Bastard, in West Shu¡¯s East County, the cultivators are relatively weak. How many experts are there in total? I know the strength of those people. How can they instantly injure you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth. I just¡­¡± Before it could finish, its abdomen suddenly began to expand. Cracks appeared on its body and a dense golden Buddhist light emitted from within. ¡°Ahhh¡­ Master, save¡­ save me!¡± Bang¡ª! With that, it suddenly exploded into a bloody mist. It was extremely strange. The entire place was silent. Only the mountain wind continued to howl. After a long time, Old Devil Black Mountain spoke with an extremely solemn expression. ¡°What a terrifying cultivation base. The bat demon¡¯s strength has already reached three or four hundred years of cultivation! He can actually secretly plant a mark in its body and specially activate it in front of us!¡± ¡°The other party¡¯s cultivation is extraordinary! Without a cultivation above a thousand years, it is impossible to do this!¡± ¡°Looks like I have to meet him personally.¡± ¡°It¡¯s better not to. You have something important to do. The revival of the Ghost Domain far exceeds personal matters.¡± Old Devil Black Mountain clenched his fists. ¡°But Lord Sacred Envoy, I lost two of my beloved generals under him. If I don¡¯t take revenge¡­ the anger in my heart won¡¯t subside. If he runs away in the future, where can I find him?¡± The Sacred Envoy shook his head. ¡°Forget it, I¡¯ll help you this time and deal with this kid!¡± Old Devil Black Mountain immediately cupped his hands. ¡°Thank you, Sacred Envoy.¡± ¡°Doing your work properly is the best way to thank me.¡± With that, the Sacred Envoy grabbed the air and snatched an aura from the remains of the bat demon. He turned around and disappeared. After leaving Forest River City, Li Xuanxin stepped on the wind. He was constantly releasing his divine sense to check his surroundings to see if there were any demons or ghosts. With his current cultivation, he could recall everything within five kilometers. There was nowhere to hide. After walking into a forest, Li Xuanxin¡¯s divine sense scanned something. His eyes moved and his body instantly vanished. When he appeared again, he had already arrived beside a farm in the mountains. In the farmland, a strong young man had just finished reclaiming the fields. He stood up and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve. Although his clothes were already wet, he looked at the farmland he had cultivated and felt relieved. ¡°The heavens reward the diligent. With twenty acres of fertile land in hand, you will definitely have a huge harvest next year.¡± The sudden voice stunned the man. He turned around and saw a white-robed monk. His face bloomed with joy again. ¡°Thank you for your kind words, Master.¡± ¡°Amitabha. I¡¯m Xuanxin. I¡¯m passing by. Can I ask for a bowl of water?¡± ¡°Of course!¡± The man picked up his bamboo pot and felt the weight on it. He could not help but smile awkwardly. ¡°Master, I¡¯ve finished my water, but my house is nearby. If you don¡¯t mind, go to my house. I¡¯ll get you some water.¡± ¡°Thank you, benefactor.¡± Li Xuanxin followed the man to two farmhouses half a mile away. Smoke floated behind the kitchen. Across the fence, a woman in a gray-blue dress and a square scarf was feeding the chickens. ¡°Hehehe¡­¡± ¡°Cui Niang, we have guests today.¡± The woman looked up happily. ¡°Which uncle¡­¡± Before she finished speaking, she had already seen Li Xuanxin¡¯s figure. A strange expression flashed across her face, but it disappeared in an instant as she smiled again. ¡°So it¡¯s a Master Monk.¡± Li Xuanxin bowed. ¡°Amitabha. I apologize for disturbing you. I hope you won¡¯t mind.¡± ¡°Master, you¡¯re too kind. It¡¯s rare for us to see anyone in the countryside. We¡¯re honored.¡± ¡°Cui Niang, Master wants a bowl of water. Get him a pot of water.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Li Xuanxin handed over the water bottle. Cui Niang held it with both hands and walked into the kitchen to fetch water. ¡°Master, please sit for a moment.¡± The man brought a bench for Li Xuanxin who thanked him and sat down. He glanced at the courtyard. It was small and clean. The man was hugging his young son in the room. His muscular arms swayed gently. His eyes were filled with love and treated the little one like a treasure. At this moment, Cui Niang was already holding Li Xuanxin¡¯s water bottle with both hands. ¡°Master, your water.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Li Xuanxin took the water and took a sip. It had a very sweet taste of the mountain spring water. In a small house in the countryside, the scenery was beautiful. A cool breeze blew and the air was fragrant. The newlyweds served tea with both hands. Everything was filled with poetic artistry, looking extremely peaceful. If the woman was not a skeleton, how wonderful would that be? ¡°Master, my son is still young. It¡¯s difficult for my husband to take care of him alone.¡± ¡°Please show mercy, I¡¯ll be immensely thankful.¡± ¡°When my son is older, I am willing to go to the Buddhist temple and face the wall for a hundred years. I will recite scriptures and Buddhist mantras to eliminate evil.¡± ¡°Humans and ghosts are different. Your presence will harm the lifespan of the father and son.¡± Cui Niang¡¯s face was filled with reluctance and tears. ¡°My husband and I fell in love so I fled the arranged marriage. We went through all sorts of hardships, but unfortunately, I passed away.¡± ¡°If I leave, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t want to live alone.¡± ¡°I hope that Master will be merciful. I am willing to do anything in my next life to repay your kindness!¡± ¡°Cui Niang, are you talking to Master?¡± The man carried the child and walked out curiously. Chapter 23 - Death Wish, Great Chapter 23 Death Wish, Great Gift! ¡°No¡­ nothing.¡± Cui Niang turned her head away and wiped her tears away. However, her eyes were filled with pleading Although the man was simple, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. as w ¡°Master, what¡¯s going on?¡± Li Xuanxin took a sip of water and smiled. ¡°Nothing. This water is very good. I¡¯ll ask Madam where it came from.¡± ¡°Oh, I see. This spring water was taken from a mountain spring five kilometers away. It¡¯s indeed good water. It¡¯s sweet and delicious.¡± Cui Niang¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of gratitude. Li Xuanxin twisted the lid of the pot and placed it in the bamboo basket. ¡°Since I¡¯ve already obtained the water, it¡¯s time for me to leave. Thank you for your hospitality. This talisman is a token of my appreciation. If you keep it by your side, it can isolate evil auras and allow you to live a healthy life.¡± Li Xuanxin took out the talisman that Xing Yun had sold him and gave it to Cui Niang. As long as this talisman was not activated, it would not cause her any harm. Furthermore, it could isolate the Yin Qi on her body to prevent her from harming the father and son. ¡°Thank you, Master.¡± Cui Niang took Li Xuanxin¡¯s talisman with both hands and bowed deeply, feeling extremely grateful. It was not only because Li Xuanxin had let her go, but also because he had given her a talisman. With this talisman, she could prevent the Yin Qi in her body from harming her husband and son. This great act of kindness could not be bought with money. Li Xuanxin stood up and left. ¡°If you have good intentions, you can obtain good results. If you have evil intentions, you will be consigned to eternal damnation.¡± The man was confused. ¡°What do you mean, Master? I don¡¯t understand.¡± Cui Niang smiled and answered, ¡°He means that because we gave him water to drink, he gave us a talisman. In the future, we have to do more good deeds on this mountain.¡± ¡°I see. You¡¯re right, I¡¯ll listen to you, my wife.¡± When Li Xuanxin left, the Merit Golden Lotus flickered. (Showed benevolence and helped a couple in need. Critical Hit! Merit +10,000!) Li Xuanxin smiled. He knew that he had done the right thing The Buddhist Dharma was heartless but people had emotions! na w Everything in the world naturally had a certain pattern, but as long as it did not affect others or harm living beings, so what if he made an exception occasionally? Li Xuanxin did not want to be a certain heartless monk in this world. Buddhism was only meant to see through one¡¯s true nature, not to turn oneself into a heartless cultivation machine. After Fahai suppressed Bai Suzhen[1], who did he save? Did he himself obtain enlightenment? Doing such a cruel thing was purely asking to be scolded. Of course, most importantly, Li Xuanxin sensed no evil aura from the other party. This meant that Cui Niang had never harmed any living beings. Otherwise, even if the two of them had a deep relationship, he would not let Cui Niang go. Li Xuanxin still had this bottom line. However, at this moment, Li Xuanxin suddenly seemed to sense something. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. With a tap of his foot, his body instantly vanished. ¡°Found you.¡± The mark on the bat demon¡¯s body had already exploded. That location should be where Old Devil Black Mountain was! It was unknown how much merit Old Devil Black Mountain was worth! Soon, he was a hundred miles away. At this moment, he seemed to sense something. He paused and activated his Armor Seal. ¡°Amitabha! Since you¡¯re already here, why are you still hiding?¡± With that, a figure slowly walked out of the forest with his hands behind his back. He wore black clothes and a black bamboo hat. He was the complete opposite of Li Xuanxin. ¡°I really can¡¯t tell when a genius like you appeared in the Human Race. You¡¯re so young, but you¡¯ve already reached the River Realm!¡± After a pause, he sneered again. ¡°However, I like to kill geniuses the most!¡± Li Xuanxin raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Old Devil Black Mountain?¡± ¡°Hehehe¡­ I¡¯m naturally not Old Devil Black Mountain. However, you don¡¯t have to think about him anymore because you won¡¯t have the chance to see him in your life.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not up to you to decide.¡± Li Xuanxin stabbed the staff into the ground. He could not be bothered to say anything else and formed the Flame Seal with both hands. ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± The Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Flame World Incantation was used as an extremely terrifying power erupted. The black shadow narrowed his eyes and formed a seal. ¡°Ghost Domain otherworldly soldiers, listen to my orders!¡± A powerful dark power erupted and collided with Li Xuanxin¡¯s Flame World Incantation. Boom-! With a shocking explosion, a huge mushroom cloud rose from the ground. Without waiting for the mushroom cloud to dissipate, Li Xuanxin had already flown over with the Armor Seal in hand. ¡°So strong!¡± The black shadow narrowed his eyes and quickly retreated. At the same time, he formed another seal. ¡°Extreme Yin Qi, Five Ghosts Soul Destruction!¡± Five black evil lights shot over like sharp swords. ¡°What a show off! Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± The Armor Seal in Li Xuanxin¡¯s hand changed instantly. Immovable Foundation SealSingle Seal! The moment the seal appeared, the curse erupted. A golden halo like a golden dragon roared and directly dispersed the five ghosts. Boom-! Another explosion sounded, but this time, the golden dragon did not dissipate. Instead, it continued attacking after shattering the five ghosts. ¡°Oh no!¡± The black shadow immediately used a barrier to defend, but the golden Buddha light dragon finally shattered his barrier and sent him flying. Boom¡ª! He fell a thousand meters away, creating a deep pit in the rock. ¡°How¡­ how is this possible? You¡¯re only at the River Realm, and the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation you used is only slightly above the tenth level! Why can the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation unleash such an effect? This power is already comparable to the Mountain Sea Realm!¡± Li Xuanxin¡¯s Immovable Wisdom King Incantation was not high-level. However, his Immovable Wisdom King Scripture was at the perfected realm. Ordinary River Realm experts of Spirit Platform Temple might be at the 20th or 30th level of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation, but their Immovable Wisdom King Scripture was at most at the 30th or 40th level. The effect of the 108th level of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation was too strong! ¡°Amitabha. It¡¯s time for you to go!¡± Li Xuanxin was expressionless and formed another seal. The moment the Treasure Mountain Seal appeared, the weather changed. The Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Devil Subduing Incantation erupted. Buddhist light swept through the entire forest like a vast sun! ¡°No-!¡± The black shadow screamed, but everything was destined. A huge golden Buddha statue suddenly descended from the sky and exploded the other party! [Killed a thousand-year-old Ghost General. Merit +278,000!) Li Xuanxin was stunned. How much? 278,000 merit points? Good lord! This was a big fish! At first, Li Xuanxin thought that he was an ordinary assassin sent by Old Devil Black Mountain. However, his strength was not bad. He had already reached about 1,500 years of cultivation and was not ordinary among the River Realm cultivators. Unexpectedly, the other party was a thousand-year-old Ghost General! Furthermore, with so much merit, it might be the Ghost General from a thousand years ago when the Three Realms invaded. He had committed countless sins! This was really someone with a death wish. He offered such a great gift! [1] These are characters from the Chinese story, Legend of the White Snake. Chapter 24 - Nether Ghost Domain Chapter 24 Nether Ghost Domain However, just as Li Xuanxin thought that the other party was completely dead, the surrounding space suddenly began to darken and gather into a dark area. ¡°This is¡­?¡± Li Xuanxin was shocked when she suddenly heard the Ghost General¡¯s sinister voice. ¡°Idiot, I¡¯m not an ordinary Ghost General. I¡¯m a Sacred Envoy of the Ghost Domain! I have the mark given to me by the Ghost Marshal! If you kill me, it will form a Nether Ghost Domain that absorbs the surrounding vengeful spirits, zombies, skeletons, and other ghosts!¡± ¡°Soon, all the ghosts in a radius of a hundred miles will gather. They cannot defeat you alone. Ten of them cannot defeat you. A hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand also cannot defeat you. What about a hundred thousand?¡± ¡°In the Nether Ghost Domain, the Heart Sutra of the righteous path of the Human Race will be suppressed by at least twenty levels! This means that the speed at which you absorb the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth and convert it into Buddhist power will be extremely slow!¡± ¡°Soon, you will be killed by the ghosts because of exhaustion.¡± ¡°At that time, I will definitely eat your flesh and blood personally and reconstruct my ghost body!¡± Li Xuanxin widened his eyes. ¡°You said¡­ many vengeful spirits will come here?¡± The Sacred Envoy was stunned. ¡°What do you mean? Aren¡¯t you afraid?¡± Li Xuanxin smiled. ¡°Yes! Of course I¡¯m afraid! I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to find a hundred thousand vengeful spirits!¡± The Ghost Domain¡¯s Sacred Envoy was stunned. Was there something wrong with this fellow¡¯s head? The most terrifying thing about the Nether Ghost Domain was not gathering ghosts, but suppressing the righteous cultivation technique! A River Realm human cultivator¡¯s Heart Sutra was only at the 30-40th level. After being suppressed by 20 levels, the remaining 20 levels would not be enough. e In the end, because he did not have time to absorb Spirit Qi and did not convert enough Buddhist power, he would not be able to use the Buddhist cultivation technique. At that time, he would be as good as crippled! But why was he smiling? In fact, Li Xuanxin could not wait for him to gather these vengeful spirits. The more vengeful spirits he gathered, the more merit he would obtain! Furthermore, he did not have to run. How perfect was that? As for the suppression of the Heart Sutra¡­ Hehehe, even if the 108th level of the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture was suppressed, he still had 88 levels left! The Ghost Domain¡¯s Sacred Envoy was only a River Realm Ghost General. It was impossible for him to summon an even higher existence. The 88th level was enough for him. He had just obtained 270,000 merit points. He had to increase the level of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation first. ¡°Merit Golden Lotus, increase the level of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation!¡± The Merit Golden Lotus began to spin rapidly. [280,000 merit points consumed. Advancing the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation¡­) At the same time, a vengeful spirit suddenly flew over from the Black Devil Mountain¡¯s Devil Cave a thousand miles away. ¡°Report! Master, a large number of human cultivators have appeared outside and are surrounding our Black Demon Mountain!¡± surro Old Devil Black Mountain¡¯s crimson eyes flickered. The ghost aura on his body could not help but become chaotic due to his excitement. ¡°They¡¯re finally here! Send my orders. Let them in and capture them all at once! I want to add 100,000 elite soldiers to our Ghost Domain!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± At the same time, on Black Devil Mountain, a large number of righteous cultivators quietly infiltrated the forest. The female cultivator from the Butterfly Orchid Sect, Yan Ran, and Junior Xiao Ying were among them. ¡°Senior Sister! That Star Boat just now was really strange. It could actually travel at a tremendous pace and let us come to the Black Devil Mountain in such a short period of time.¡± ¡°The Star Boat is a Dharma treasure specially made by the Imperial Court to transport cultivators. Its power is naturally extraordinary.¡± Just as she finished speaking, a man in a flying fish robe and an official hat turned around and glared at the two of them. ¡°Don¡¯t make a sound. If you alert the demons, I¡¯ll hold you responsible!¡± The two of them hurriedly fell silent. It couldn¡¯t be helped. The other party was from the Great Zhou¡¯s Fiend Suppression Division. Although the Butterfly Orchid Sect was near Forest River City and was indeed quite famous, this city was only a small place. In front of a colossus like the Imperial Court, it seemed out of place. Xiao Ying muttered softly, ¡°What¡¯s there to be arrogant about? So what if you¡¯re from the Fiend Suppression Division? Compared to that Sacred Monk, you¡¯re nothing!¡± When Senior Sister Yan Ran heard this, she felt angry and amused. However, when she thought of the white-robed figure wearing a bamboo hat, she could not help but be obsessed. Although that senior monk wore a bamboo hat, he had a fascinating aura. He should be very good-looking too, right? Although he might be very old, didn¡¯t all existences with high cultivation levels have a way to maintain their looks? Perhaps he looked like he was only a young man in his mid-twenties. ¡°Attack!¡± Just as she was in a daze, a roar suddenly sounded from ahead, waking her up. Then, the cultivators from all directions attacked. Sabers, spears, swords, halberds, Dao techniques, Buddhist Dharma, and the true teachings of the Confucians¡­ They transformed into different colors of light that flickered in the black forest. Explosions sounded everywhere. The screams of the vengeful spirits rose and fell, resounding through the mountains. The two senior sisters also advanced with the main group. They raised their swords and began to kill the ghost soldiers. The human cultivators pushed forward with unstoppable force. The ghosts outside the Black Demon Mountain did not have the slightest ability to resist. For a time, they were beaten until they could not fight back. This made people excited. Such a weak Black Devil Mountain was definitely not their match. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect the demons of Black Demon Mountain to be so weak. What a bunch of trash!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this better? We can kill to our heart¡¯s content! Kill!¡± At the top of the Black Devil Mountain, Old Devil Black Mountain stood on the mountain and looked at the battlefield in the forest. ¡°These stupid and ignorant humans have only destroyed a few low-level skeleton soldiers and vengeful spirits outside the forest. They¡¯re actually so excited. I¡¯ll play with you today.¡± ¡°However, it was not easy for such a group of toys to come. If I kill them so easily, won¡¯t that be letting them off too soon?¡± ¡°I will slowly torture you to death. Only when your fear reaches its peak and you transform into vengeful spirits and zombies can you become stronger.¡± The vengeful spirits beside him laughed sinisterly. ¡°Master, good move.¡± The human cultivators became more and more excited as they fought. They entered deeper and deeper into the Black Devil Mountain, looking like they wanted to capture Old Devil Black Mountain alive. After fighting for a long time, they reached the middle of the Black Demon Mountain. At this moment, Zhang Yixing of the Dragon Tiger Sect frowned slightly and said to the leader of the Fiend Suppression Division, ¡°Lord Baili, I feel that something is wrong today.¡± ¡°Oh? What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Lord, although I¡¯m not very sure about the strength of the Black Devil Mountain, I know a thing or two. Old Devil Black Mountain definitely has more strength than this, but we¡¯ve been fighting too smoothly since the beginning.¡± ¡°Be careful not to fall for the other party¡¯s trap!¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­ Master Zhang, you¡¯re too cautious. The Black Demon Mountain does have some strength, but this time, not only did we mobilize the Fiend Suppression Division, but we also mobilized dozens of sects of all sizes in the east county of the Shu State. There are countless experts.¡± ¡°Although the Black Devil Mountain was powerful, it is mainly because Old Devil Black Mountain is powerful. The other weak ghosts are nothing to worry about. It is understandable that we can fight so easily.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you see that we¡¯ve already killed a few generals under Old Devil Black Mountain? Don¡¯t be too worried. Hurry up and kill the enemies. Increase your contributions. At that time, I¡¯ll report it to the Imperial Court and your Dragon Tiger Sect will obtain more resources!¡± With that, Lord Baili moved even faster and killed even more happily. Zhang Yixing raised his eyebrows. The abbot of the Little Maitreya Sect shattered a vengeful spirit with his palm and stepped forward. ¡°Fellow Daoist Zhang, do you have any concerns?¡± ¡°This fight is too easy. Something is wrong.¡± ¡°I also sense it. However, this time, the Fiend Suppression Division is in charge of exterminating the devils. Lord Baili wants to make contributions. If we leave now, we will definitely be denounced. At that time, it might cause trouble!¡± Zhang Yixing sighed. ¡°Forget it, let him be. If anything really happens later, our two sects will join forces to break out.¡± Just as he finished speaking, a shocking explosion suddenly sounded in front of him. In an instant, black smoke surged as countless vengeful spirits pounced over. Before everyone could be shocked, screams suddenly came from behind. The two of them looked at each other and their expressions changed. ¡°As expected! We¡¯ve been tricked! Retreat!¡± Unfortunately, although they wanted to retreat, it was already too late. Old Devil Black Mountain had unleashed the true strength of the Black Devil Mountain this time. His forces were dozens of times greater than before! For a time, the situation reversed. The human cultivators were killed until they could not fight back. The more arrogant they were just now, the more tragic it was now! Chapter 25 - A Grand Opportunity, A Million Merit Points Chapter 25 A Grand Opportunity, A Million Merit Points In the Nether Ghost Domain, the Sacred Envoy finally understood why Li Xuanxin was not afraid at all! One of the two most terrifying places in the Nether Ghost Domain would constantly attract the surrounding ghost soldiers. These ghost soldiers included vengeful spirits, zombies, and skeletons who had died in the past thousands of years¡­ Among the ghosts, there were not only the ghosts of humans, but even the souls of beasts who had become spirits¡­ In the past thousands of years, countless people had died in a radius of a hundred miles! The second was that the Ghost Domain would form dense Yin Qi that suppressed the righteous cultivation techniques of the Human Race. This was also the most important! The reason why human cultivation techniques could unleash their power was because the cultivation technique absorbed the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth and transformed it into a power that matched the characteristics of their cultivation technique. For example, the Buddhist Sect transformed this Spirit Qi into Buddhist power! However, the fundamental energy absorbed was also different. The righteous path absorbed Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi, while the Ghost Domain¡¯s ghost soldiers absorbed Ghost Qi. These were two completely different energies. Where the Ghost Qi was dense, the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth would thin. Where the Spirit Qi was dense, the Ghost Qi would thin. They could only barely coexist. However, if the Heart Sutra was too powerful and could even ignore the Nether Ghost Domain, the most important second point of the Ghost Domain would be almost useless. Then, the Ghost Domain would be meaningless! For example, Li Xuanxin! The Supreme Buddhist Heart Sutra of the 108th level of perfection-Immovable Wisdom King Scripture¡ªwas used with all his might. His entire body was enveloped by a golden Buddhist light. The surrounding Sanskrit was like flowers and lotuses bloomed under his feet. A golden wheel of light appeared above Li Xuanxin¡¯s head. It looked like a true Buddha descending, holy and dignified! The peaceful Buddhist voice resounded through the forest like a sacred song. This originally sinister and terrifying Ghost Domain was actually like the Holy Land of the Buddhist Sect! Ghosts, vengeful spirits, zombies¡­ They were all attracted by the Ghost Domain and pounced in one after another. However, what awaited them was vast Buddhist power. None of the ghosts who entered the Nether Ghost Domain escaped. They were instantly killed and purified! The Ghost Domain¡¯s Sacred Envoy was shocked. The Nether Ghost Domain he used was to let Li Xuanxin kill the Ghost Race better? But¡­ just because of this, there seemed to be no need for him to be so happy, right? From the beginning to the end, he had been smiling! No! The Ghost Domain¡¯s Sacred Envoy suddenly discovered something. Li Xuanxin¡¯s Immovable Wisdom King Incantation was becoming more and more proficient. Its power was also becoming stronger and more terrifying! ¡°You can actually kill ghosts to increase the level of your cultivation technique!¡± The Ghost Domain¡¯s Sacred Envoy was shocked. There was actually such a heaven-defying existence in the Human Race? He used ghosts as nourishment! Was this still human? He had to remove the Ghost Domain now and not increase the strength of the Human Race genius. Otherwise, it would be a calamity for the Ghost Race! Even if his soul would completely dissipate when he removed the Ghost Domain, so be it. However, just as he was about to cancel the Ghost Domain, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. ¡°Evil creature, don¡¯t leave. Help me cultivate for a while more!¡± He used the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Devil Subduing Incantation together with the Treasure Mountain Seal! The next moment, the Sacred Envoy¡¯s movements were sealed. ¡°No-!¡± The Ghost Domain¡¯s Sacred Envoy let out a miserable and despairing scream. In Li Xuanxin¡¯s mind, the Merit Golden Lotus was about to explode from shining light! (Killed the evil ghost. Merit +57.] [Killed the blood-sucking zombie. Merit +89.] [Killed the vengeful spirit. Merit +103.) [Killed¡­] Li Xuanxin¡¯s merit increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. Every time it increased, Li Xuanxin quickly added a level to the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation. His own strength was also rapidly increasing. (15,000 merit points consumed. Immovable Wisdom King Incantation +1.] (15,000 merit points consumed. Immovable Wisdom King Incantation +1.] In just two hours, Li Xuanxin¡¯s Immovable Wisdom King Incantation gradually reached greater mastery. 20th level! 30th level! 40th level! 50th level! Finally, it reached the 108th level. It was perfected! ¡°Namo Amitabha!¡± Li Xuanxin pressed his palms together and chanted the Buddhist mantra. Then, an Immovable Wisdom King Dharma idol held a sword in one hand and a pearl in the other. It rose from the ground and spread to a height of ten thousand feet. It shot into the sky and tore through the clouds. The Buddhist light was like a sword that shone in all directions. As the golden light swept past, all the demons and ghosts within a hundred miles could not resist. Under the light of the Buddhist light, the Ghost Domain instantly turned to ashes. Within a thousand miles, all the Buddha statues chanted the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture and praised the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s mantra. ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m¡­¡± On the ground, golden lotuses appeared frequently. In the sky, a swastika Buddhist seal kept spinning. Li Xuanxin¡¯s body was golden like the sun. The golden wheel behind his head not only emitted a layer of golden Buddhist light, but at the edge of the wheel, there was even a faint five-colored light that radiated. Il a His expression was calm as water. Among the four great sects of the Buddhist faction, he had already cultivated Spirit Platform Temple¡¯s Immovable Wisdom King to the perfected realm. He was still missing three Mystical Powers. After cultivating all of them, he would be able to explore the supreme technique. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect this Ghost Domain¡¯s Sacred Envoy to actually bring me such a huge opportunity. Thank you very much.¡± However, at this moment, Li Xuanxin suddenly felt something. He had perfected his cultivation of the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation. This also awakened the Buddhist Mystical PowerHeavenly Eye. He looked in a direction. ¡°A thousand miles away, there seems to be demons wreaking havoc and living beings are in misery.¡± He could not help but raise his eyebrows. ¡°It¡¯s too far. By the time I arrive, all those lives will probably have died.¡± ¡°Oh right, I have the Water Floating Technique from Shaolin Temple that I have yet to cultivate.¡± The Water Floating Technique was one of the two top-notch movement techniques of the Buddhist faction! Its speed was no small matter. It was said to be extremely fast, comparable to the Dao Sect¡¯s Earth Shrinking Technique. However, there was a problem. Li Xuanxin had already used most of his merit points on the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation. After the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation was perfected, he released the Buddhist light and killed all the demons within a hundred miles. He obtained another 400,000 merit points. However, the Water Floating Technique was a Shaolin Mystical Power. It might require him to cultivate the Shaolin Temple¡¯s Muscle Strengthening Scripture first. ¡°The Immovable Wisdom King Scripture and the Muscle Strengthening Scripture are both Buddhist Heart Sutras. Between them, they should be interchangeable to a degree. Even if I can¡¯t use the complete effect of the Muscle Strengthening Scripture, it should still have decent strength.¡± The situation was critical. He would try for the time being ¡°Merit Golden Lotus, add all the points to the Water Floating Technique.¡± The Merit Golden Lotus quickly began to spin. (489,212 merit points consumed to increase the level of the Water Floating Technique. Increasing¡­] In the end, the Water Floating Technique was raised to the 72nd level by the Merit Golden Lotus. This Water Floating Technique had 81 levels, so he had yet to reach the perfected realm. However, Li Xuanxin could not care less. It was fine as long as he could use it! He stepped on the ground and used the Water Floating Technique. His body instantly teleported a thousand meters away. ¡°So fast!¡± Li Xuan was delighted. On top of being pleasantly surprised that the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture could circulate other techniques, he was also pleasantly surprised by the speed at which he moved. Without the enhancement of the Muscle Strengthening Scripture and without cultivating to the perfected realm, it actually had such a miraculous effect! Compared to Flying Steps, this was a true movement technique! Li Xuanxin did not delay any longer. He took a deep breath and rushed towards the Black Demon Mountain. Chapter 26 - Immovable Wisdom Kings Nine Words True Sun Technique (1) Chapter 26 Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Nine Words True Sun Technique (1) Soon, Li Xuanxin arrived at the Black Demon Mountain. ¡°Amitabha, I¡¯ve finally arrived.¡± Li Xuanxin looked down with a solemn expression. The human cultivators had already been scattered by the demons. They were utterly defeated! There were ghost soldiers everywhere, skeletons and zombies everywhere. They were dense and endless. At this moment, the human cultivators seemed to have entered purgatory. Screams sounded one after another. Life was harvested like wheat. In fact, with the help of the general under Old Devil Black Mountain, even a few experts close to the River Realm could not hold on. The sect master of the Righteousness Sect, who had hundreds of years of cultivation, was the first to die. The Human Race¡¯s defeat was certain. The leader of the Fiend Suppression Division, Baili Tu, was already pale with fear and at a loss. There was no need to mention the itinerant cultivators. ¡°Human cultivators and ghosts are mixed together. If I use the Flame World Incantation, I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll kill these human cultivators. That would be a sin.¡± After thinking for a moment, Li Xuanxin pressed his palms together. ¡°Ever since I learned the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation, I¡¯ve never used the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Nine Words True Sun Technique!¡± ¡°Today, I¡¯ll see how strong this strongest incantation is.¡± With that, Li Xuanxin began to recite the Buddhist scriptures. A golden light slowly bloomed¡­ On the battlefield below, Old Devil Black Mountain clenched his fists. His eyes flickered with red light from excitement. ¡°With so many cultivators, our Ghost Race will definitely gain a lot this time. Lord Sacred Envoy, do you see? The Black Mountain will add another hundred thousand elite soldiers to our Ghost Race!¡± ¡°The thousand years are up. This time, our Ghost Race will definitely dominate the mortal world! Hahahaha¡­¡± The two female cultivators of the Butterfly Orchid Sect fought hard in the chaos, but their cultivation levels were too low and they were already injured. Especially the female cultivator, Xiao Ying. Her injuries were almost unbearable. ¡°Senior Sister, run for your life. I can¡¯t take it anymore. Run.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. I won¡¯t leave you alone. If you want to leave, we¡¯ll leave together. If you want to die, we¡¯ll die together!¡± ¡°Senior Sister¡­ Sob¡­¡± Although the female cultivator¡¯s words were brave, she was also complaining in her mind. Even an expert like the Righteousness Sect¡¯s Sect Master had perished. A small fry like them who had more than ten years of cultivation would be killed soon. Perhaps they could still breathe at this moment, but in the next second, they might be killed. However, as long as she still had a breath left, she could not give up. She had to fight to the death and grab onto that illusory chance of survival! ¡°Senior Sister, I¡¯m so cold. Is my blood running dry?¡± ¡°Xiao Ying, hold on. Don¡¯t sleep. You won¡¯t wake up again.¡± ¡°Senior Sister, I can¡¯t take it anymore. My consciousness is no longer clear. I think I saw a huge Buddha. I miss that Master Monk so much. If he was here, we definitely wouldn¡¯t die!¡± Yan Ran was stunned. Yes, if that master was here, these demons and ghosts would definitely be helpless. However, the master came and went without a trace. How could he appear here casually? ¡°Look at the sky. What is that?¡± Suddenly, someone shouted. A thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky. Everyone looked up. The vengeful spirits also looked up. The female cultivator also looked up. Her pupils instantly widened in disbelief and excitement. ¡°Xiao Ying! Xiao Ying! You are right. Master is here! We¡¯re saved! We¡¯re saved!¡± In the sky, a Buddhist light cut through the rolling Ghost Qi black clouds like a golden sword. A golden Buddha sat high above the clouds. The golden light behind his head spun as golden lotuses bloomed around him¡­ He chanted the Buddhist Dharma scriptures. The Buddhist voice resounded like an immortal voice. When the human cultivators heard it, the pain on their bodies decreased greatly. This voice was like a curse to the vengeful spirits, zombies, and other ghosts, causing them to let out heart-wrenching screams. ¡°Come!¡± Suddenly, the word ¡®Come¡¯ came from the Buddha statue. This word, ¡®Come¡¯, was mixed with a supreme divine might, making all the evil spirits unable to resist. Boom boom boom¡­ Tens of thousands of ghosts with the lowest cultivation level exploded because they could not withstand the power. ¡°Soldier!¡± Before anyone could react, another word was shouted. Boom boom boom¡­ Another tens of thousands of Yin spirits, including some stronger vengeful spirits, also exploded. Old Devil Black Mountain trembled as his crimson eyes began to flicker. ¡°This is! An accomplished Buddhist monk? Why is there an accomplished Buddhist monk here? The four major sects of the Buddhist Sect are not here. There are only some ants here!¡± ¡°Fight!¡± ¡°Group!¡± ¡°Gather!¡± ¡°Formation!¡± ¡°Advance!¡± ¡°Forward!¡± The Buddha statue chanted faster and faster. The speed at which the ghosts exploded also increased. There were more and more of them, and their strength levels also increased. From the lowest-level ghost soldiers to the generals under Old Devil Black Mountain, not a single ghost had escaped! In Li Xuanxin¡¯s mind, the Merit Golden Lotus also flashed one after another. (Killed a low-level soul. Merit +7.] [Killed an evil ghost. Merit +81.) (Killed a blood-sucking zombie. Merit +389.) The number of merit points in his body rose like a rocket. ¡°No-!¡± Old Devil Black Mountain roared. His black eyes even revealed a hint of blood. He had wanted to recruit a group of elite soldiers to help the Ghost Race, but who knew that not only did he not increase the number of elite soldiers, but he also lost so many Ghost Race elites! That was a force he had accumulated for a thousand years! This was simply a huge loss! ¡°Run-!¡± Even if his heart ached, the current Old Devil Black Mountain still had some rationality. He could already sense that the Ghost Qi in his body was slowing down. He was about to collapse. The other party clearly had a super expert guarding him. It was impossible for him to defeat him. The humans had said that as long as there was life, there was hope. He would survive first before talking about revenge. Unfortunately, the moment he stood up, the final Buddhist voice reached his ears. ¡°Charge!¡± With that last word, Old Devil Black Mountain felt the Ghost Qi in his body instantly surge and transform into the supreme Buddhist power. verse He could not withstand the powerful reverse force at all. It was like a leaf in the water, a speck in the wind! ¡°No¡ª!!¡± Old Devil Black Mountain¡¯s expression changed drastically. He roared in despair, but in the end, he exploded into pieces. Everything ended. The entire mountain and all the evil were swept away. The originally noisy forest instantly fell silent, as if the entire world had been purified! Black Devil Mountain was completely destroyed! A minute passed, then two¡­ Not long after, someone began. One after another, countless cultivators who had survived the calamity pressed their palms together and were grateful. ¡°Amitabha! Buddha, protect me.¡± Baili Tu was among them, but he did not put his palms together like everyone else. He only looked at the sky quietly and pondered. His eyes revealed a hint of fanaticism. ¡°I have to find this monk!¡± Chapter 27 - Under the Heavens, Everything Belongs to the Empire Chapter 27 Under the Heavens, Everything Belongs to the Empire At this moment, Li Xuanxin had already left the Black Demon Mountain. However, he could not help but raise his eyebrows. ¡°This time, the human cultivators near Forest River City suffered heavy losses! Logically speaking, even if these sects don¡¯t know the strength of the Black Devil Mountain, it should be impossible for the Imperial Court to not know the strength of these demons. ¡°Why did they let these people come to die?¡± However, after thinking about it, Li Xuanxin realized that he could not figure it out. Forget it, he did not want to think about it anymore. He was only a Buddhist monk. Why was he thinking so much? He should look at his merit first. After destroying the demons of the Black Devil Mountain, he had obtained another huge harvest. The Merit Golden Lotus had never stopped flashing. Li Xuanxin placed his attention on the Merit Golden Lotus and was immediately delighted. 970,000 points. It was another huge explosion of points. ¡°Merit Golden Lotus, increase it for me.¡± (270,000 merit points have been spent. Your Water Floating Technique has been raised to the perfected 81st level.) (700,000 merit points have been spent. The Muscle Strengthening Scripture has been raised to the 60th level.] Li Xuanxin first raised the Water Floating Technique to the perfected stage. The faster the movement technique, the better. Be it saving people or running for his life, this thing was the best. He also had to improve the Muscle Strengthening Scripture. After all, this was the backup energy source for his Water Floating Technique and the Tathagata Divine Palm. After raising the Muscle Strengthening Scripture to the 60th level, Li Xuanxin discovered that the speed at which his body absorbed and digested the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi seemed to have increased greatly. It was about 1.5 times faster than before. Originally, his cultivation could increase by two years in a day. Now, it was about three years in a day. Li Xuanxin guessed that if the Muscle Strengthening Scripture reached the perfected 108th level, it might increase his cultivation by four years a day! ¡°According to this growth, if I can obtain the four great Buddhist scriptures at the same time, can I cultivate for eight years in a day?¡± Li Xuanxin could not help but click his tongue. In that case, wouldn¡¯t he be able to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm in a few years and transcend the tribulation to become a Great Freedom Arhat? It was equivalent to the Dao Sect¡¯s Nine Heavens Ten Earths Mahayana Immortal Lord! He wondered how his cultivation level would increase at that time. However, at this moment, Li Xuanxin suddenly sensed a strange force resisting him. ¡°This is¡­?!¡± Puzzled, Li Xuanxin used the movement technique and began flying in that direction. Several days later, Forest River City built a memorial temple, mainly to commemorate the cultivators who died in this battle. City Lord Li Qingshan personally came to mourn. The entire ceremony lasted for about two hours before ending. After returning, City Lord Li Qingshan and the leader of the Fiend Suppression Division, Baili Tu, left together¡­ ¡°Lord Baili has done a meritorious deed this time. The Imperial Court will definitely reward you handsomely. Lord Baili¡¯s promotion is just around the corner. I will congratulate you in advance.¡± Li Qingshan was the first to speak, but Baili Tu was not too happy. ¡°Destroying the Black Devil Mountain is indeed a great merit, but this will only allow me to advance a few ranks and obtain some cultivation resources.¡± ¡°Hehehe, Lord Baili has eliminated the famous Old Devil Black Mountain of the Shu State¡¯s East County this time. You have resolved the problem for my Forest River City, the Blue Sea City, and the other major cities. You will definitely obtain a lot of rewards. Why do I feel that Lord Baili doesn¡¯t seem to be in the mood?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Baili Tu spoke again, ¡°If it was before, I would definitely be satisfied. But now, I can obtain a better reward, so I naturally don¡¯t care about these things.¡± ¡°Oh? Lord Baili, you mean¡­?¡± ¡°It¡¯s that Sacred Monk!¡± When he spoke of the other party, Baili Tu¡¯s expression clearly revealed shock and anticipation. ¡°Lord Baili, are you talking about the Sacred Monk who used the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Nine Words True Sun Technique and saved all of you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s him!¡± A light flashed in Baili Tu¡¯s eyes. ¡°The Great Zhou Emperor has always been looking for talent. Especially for these hidden experts who are not famous but have extremely strong cultivation levels, he can¡¯t wait to see them!¡± ¡°This person¡¯s cultivation is extremely strong. If we can recruit him to the Imperial Court, His Majesty will definitely reward me greatly. It will far exceed the reward for destroying Black Devil Mountain.¡± ¡°But the problem is that the other party¡¯s cultivation is extremely strong. He probably won¡¯t agree so easily, right? If we anger him, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t end well for us. I think we shouldn¡¯t take too many risks.¡± ¡°What are you afraid of? I naturally know. If a hidden expert like him wanted to come out, he would have done so long ago. He wouldn¡¯t have waited until now to come out of seclusion.¡± ¡°However, since I¡¯ve discovered him, it¡¯s not up to him anymore.¡± ¡°Under the heavens, everything belongs to the emperor.¡± ¡°Since he is a member of the Great Zhou, he should be loyal to the Imperial Court.¡± ¡°Even if I have to use all my methods, I will think of a way to lure him out and make him join the Imperial Court.¡± ¡°This¡­ Then I wish Lord Baili success. Unfortunately, I¡¯m not strong enough and don¡¯t have any ambitions. I won¡¯t interfere in the matters of such an expert. I still have some matters to attend to. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± With that, Li Qingshan decisively bid farewell. Baili Tu was behind him. Looking at his departing figure, he could not help but spit. ¡°Coward! I originally wanted to give you a chance to participate. Since you don¡¯t know how to appreciate my kindness, I¡¯ll take all the credit myself!¡± At the same time, in the West of Great Zhou, on Kunlun Mountain, a young and handsome figure walked towards the hall of the Immeasurable Sect with his hands behind his back. The surrounding disciples who were practicing sword techniques stopped and cupped their hands. ¡°Senior Tianlin.¡± ¡°Greetings, Senior Tianlin.¡± He placed his hands behind his back and nodded slightly. He wandered among the crowd and did not stop. Some new disciples said with envy, ¡°Could he be our Immeasurable Sect¡¯s Senior Ji Tianlin? The existence ranked second on the Talent Ranking?¡± The senior brothers and sisters beside him smiled and replied, ¡°That¡¯s right! It¡¯s him!¡± ¡°In the past, I only knew that Senior Tianlin was ranked second on the Talent Ranking. Now, I didn¡¯t expect Senior Tianlin to be so handsome.¡± ¡°If I can win Senior Tianlin¡¯s favor in this life, I won¡¯t have any regrets!¡± Under the envy of everyone, Ji Tianlin quickly arrived at the Immeasurable Sect¡¯s hall. From afar, he already smiled and said, ¡°Master, why did you suddenly summon me?¡± ¡°West Shu has discovered a powerful Buddhist monk.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Ji Tianlin was a little surprised. ¡°Why do you say that?¡± ¡°He knows how to use the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Nine Words True Sun Technique to kill the thousand-year-old Ghost General-Old Devil Black Mountainand hundreds of thousands of vengeful spirits. Do you know why I¡¯m looking for you now?¡± Ji Tianlin nodded. ¡°Got it. It¡¯s time to start bootlicking again.¡± The old man shook his head speechlessly at Ji Tianlin. ¡°You have a noble status. As the second prince of the Great Zhou, how can you speak so crudely?¡± After a pause, he spoke again. ¡°Your forces can¡¯t compare to the Eldest Prince, Ji Tiandao. The various sects in the world only follow the orders of the Emperor. The Emperor is also extremely afraid of the princes and has roped in the various sects in the world.¡± ¡°Apart from the Immeasurable Sect, you have no other background.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t rope in these hidden experts, how can you be Ji Tiandao¡¯s match in the future?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I understand.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you understand. Let¡¯s go immediately.¡± ¡°The Emperor is also desperate for talent. He will definitely send someone to find that senior monk. You have to find him before he does.¡± ¡°I have a Bodhi Bead here. It was given to me by my good friend from the Bodhi Temple, Master Bodhi.¡± ¡°It has a strong Buddhist nature. If there are Buddhist experts nearby, it will remind you.¡± ¡°However, you can only go for a year and a half at most. You have to return and prepare for the Great Zhou Martial Dao Meeting. Remember that!¡± ¡°Yes, thank you, Master.¡± Ji Tianlin took the Bodhi Bead and used the Immeasurable Sect¡¯s Six Armor Divine Movement Technique. He instantly vanished and rushed towards West Shu. Chapter 28 - Meeting the Three Deities Sect Again Chapter 28 Meeting the Three Deities Sect Again Li Xuanxin did not know that he had already been targeted by many people, but even if he knew, it did not matter. Who would have thought that a young monk from Spirit Platform Temple would be a peerless monk? As long as he did not admit it, the peerless monk would never be him! At this moment, he followed the strange force that was resisting him and arrived at a city adjacent to Forest River City-Blue Sea City! When he saw the words ¡®Blue Sea City¡¯, he roughly guessed it. It was most likely the eldest son of the Li family¡ªthe heartless man who had betrayed Chen Jinlian and caused the deaths of several people in the Li family. Chen Jinlian was the first vengeful spirit in his life. Back then, Li Xuanxin had used the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Devastation Curse to cast Chen Jinlian¡¯s resentment on the Li family¡¯s son, causing him to be surrounded by negative karma. Now, he had probably found some ¡®experts of the martial world¡¯ to deal with him. Originally, as long as the Li family¡¯s eldest son obediently endured the negative karma and atoned for his sins, Li Xuanxin would no longer care about him. However, since he was courting death and increased his sins, he could not blame anyone. ¡­ In a courtyard in the Blue Sea City, the Li family¡¯s eldest son was surrounded by women. He was extremely comfortable. There was also a bald black-robed Dharma Master in the courtyard who was casting a spell. The Li family¡¯s eldest son enjoyed the embrace of a beauty. He looked at the scarecrow carved with the words ¡®Xuanxin¡¯ on the black-robed Dharma Master¡¯s altar and his eyes flashed. ¡°Spiritual Master, this bald monk Xuanxin of Spirit Platform Temple caused me to suffer for half a year. My entire body is still festering and flowing with pus. It hurts and it¡¯s unbearable. I want him to be like me, covered in pus and unable to live or die!¡± The Spiritual Master chuckled. ¡°I¡¯ll do whatever Young Master Li wants! He¡¯ll make him suffer. As long as he doesn¡¯t kill himself, I have ways to torture him.¡± He stretched out his withered right hand and clenched it into a fist, as if everything was already in his palm! The Li family¡¯s eldest son suddenly raised his eyebrows. ¡°However, Spirit Platform Temple is one of the Holy Lands of the Buddhist faction. There are countless accomplished monks inside. Will they help him resolve the curse?¡± ¡°Hehehe, Young Master, you¡¯ve underestimated the Sacred Technique of our Three Deities Sect. A thousand years ago, our Three Deities Sect beat up the various sects of the Great Zhou Dynasty until they could not fight back. If not for the Great Zhou Imperial Court, the current Emperor of the Great Zhou might be the Sect Master of our Three Deities Sect!¡± Young Master Li nodded. ¡°That¡¯s good! Be careful. Don¡¯t kill the bald monk immediately. Otherwise, it¡¯ll be difficult to resolve the hatred in my heart. Money is not a problem.¡± ¡°Young Master Li, just wait and see.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately began to cast a spell. He chanted an evil scripture and demonic Qi surrounded his body. In the end, along with the incantation, it all surged into the small figure with the words ¡®Xuanxin¡¯. Li Xuanxin had already arrived outside the door. He felt the evil technique constantly attacking his body and was expressionless. This feeling¡­ was like an ant punching him. It did not hurt. Damage ¨C 1¡­ Damage -0¡­ It was not even fast enough to overcome the recovery of his Immovable Wisdom King Scripture¡­ ¡°Amitabha.¡± With the chant of a Buddhist mantra, the door to the courtyard was blown open as if it was enduring a tremendous force. ¡°Who?¡± The Li family¡¯s eldest son was immediately shocked. The two women in his arms were also frightened and shrank into his arms. Li Xuanxin stepped in and the Spiritual Master narrowed his eyes. ¡°To think you can find this place. I underestimated you.¡± ¡°Amitabha. Benefactor, you cultivate an evil technique and are surrounded by negative karma. Your sins are monstrous!¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­ You¡¯re just a brat from Spirit Platform Temple. Do you think you¡¯re invincible just because you have some cultivation? Who do you think you are? You¡¯re courting death!¡± The Spiritual Master shouted and pinched his fingers to cast a spell. He raised his hand and an evil curse approached Li Xuanxin. Li Xuanxin¡¯s expression was indifferent. He did not even attack. The evil curse struck Li Xuanxin. A faint golden Buddhist light appeared on Li Xuanxin¡¯s body and it dissipated. ¡°What?¡± The Spiritual Master¡¯s pupils constricted and he broke out in cold sweat. Although he had not used his full strength in that attack, he had used nearly 80% of his strength. He could not even break through Li Xuanxin¡¯s defense? This fellow¡¯s strength far exceeded his imagination! ¡°Master, please forgive me. I didn¡¯t know that your Buddhist techniques were so profound. Please forgive me for offending you rashly.¡± ¡°In addition, I am a Little Banner Lord of the Three Deities Sect. If you attack me, you will definitely suffer the revenge of the Three Deities Sect. Let¡¯s forget about this and go our own ways.¡± As a sinister demon, the Spiritual Master did not care about his reputation. If he could not win, he would retreat. Unfortunately, he had already attacked Li Xuanxin. How could he let him go? Not to mention attracting the revenge of the Three Deities Sect, even if the ancestor of the Three Deities Sect came, as a righteous Buddhist cultivator, Li Xuanxin was firm. He would still kill evil cultivators without fear! He could not be bothered to say anything. He formed a Flame Seal with his hand and directly chanted the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Mantra. ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± The Flame World Incantation was used. The Spiritual Master did not even have time to scream before he immediately burned with raging flames. He did not even last a second before turning into dust. Instant kill! The Merit Golden Lotus flickered. [Killed the evil Spiritual Master of the Three Deities Sect. Merit +589.) ¡°Ahhh¡­¡± With the death of the Spiritual Master, no one suppressed the Devastation Curse on the body of the Li family¡¯s eldest son. The sores on his body that had originally been hidden appeared again. They were sore and itchy. With a scratch of his fingernail, an extremely smelly liquid flowed out. ¡°Ugh!¡± The two beautiful women in his arms vomited and fled when they saw this. Li Xuanxin did not attack them. Every injustice had its perpetrator. He was from the Buddhist Sect and not a bloodthirsty demon. ¡°Master, save me, save me. I¡¯ll give you money. I have money, I have a lot of money¡­¡± The Li family¡¯s eldest son was covered in sores. He cried and crawled over. As he crawled, he took out many silver notes. Li Xuanxin looked at his pain and shook his head. ¡°Amitabha. If you knew earlier, why did you do that?¡± Then, he raised his hand and cast the Flame World Incantation, sending him on his way. Even his soul was dispersed. He wanted this fellow to receive some punishment to offset his sins and repent seriously. ¡®Unfortunately, since you don¡¯t want to own up to your mistakes, there¡¯s no need to reincarnate. Just disappear from this world completely.¡¯ The Merit Golden Lotus flashed again. [Killed the Li family¡¯s eldest son and eliminated the scum in human skin. Critical Hit! Merit +10,000.] He did not expect to trigger a critical hit here. This was quite interesting. Then, Li Xuanxin waved his hand and swept the banknotes into his sleeve. He came to the street and scattered them to the poor people, causing everyone to rush to thank him. Chapter 29 - This Monk Will Expiate Your Entire Sect! Chapter 29 This Monk Will Expiate Your Entire Sect! ¡°Thank you, Master.¡± ¡°I will never forget your kindness, Master.¡± Everyone thanked him repeatedly, but Li Xuanxin¡¯s thoughts were on the Merit Golden Lotus. [Helped Old Man Zhao. Merit +5.) [Helped Widow Wang. Merit +8.) ¡°Donating money to the Merit Box would give no merit points. Giving it to the poor will get me points instead. Interesting.¡± It seemed that the Merit Golden Lotus¡¯s judgment of good and evil merit did not only include the Buddhist ideals, but also the good and evil of the entire world. The temple did not lack money. Buddha also had Dharmic powers and Mystical Powers. He did not need gold or silver, so there was no merit in donating incense money to the temple. The poor people lacked money. To them, this was a life-saving thing, so it was naturally a merit. Forget it, he would not think too much about it and continue training. Several months passed in the blink of an eye. Li Xuanxin¡¯s cultivation level had reached two thousand years. He found a place to enter seclusion for seven days and seven nights before finally successfully breaking through to the Mountain Sea Realm. After two thousand years of cultivation, one could break through to the Mountain Sea Realm by meditating. Those at the Mountain Sea Realm could overturn mountains and seas with endless power! He finally understood why human cultivators were divided into realms according to different cultivation years. This was because if his cultivation realm did not increase, such as not entering seclusion to break through to the Mountain Sea Realm, his cultivation level would not increase after two thousand years. Previously, he had broken through to the River Realm too quickly and did not feel this way. Only when he broke through to the Mountain Sea Realm did he discover this problem. Opening his eyes, Li Xuanxin¡¯s eyes flickered with purple light. The Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth around him was extremely dense. Every breath was extremely fresh and fragrant. ¡°Is this the strength of the Mountain Sea Realm? It¡¯s indeed very strong!¡± Li Xuanxin clenched his fists, feeling that he could even destroy a mountain now. Although he had just reached the Mountain Sea Realm, because the cultivation techniques he cultivated had already reached the perfected realm, it was very difficult for others of the same realm to cultivate cultivation techniques to such a high level. Therefore, Li Xuanxin¡¯s true combat strength was higher than cultivators of the same realm. Originally, Li Xuanxin had already prepared to leave these big cities. After all, the Ghost Domain¡¯s Sacred Envoy and Old Devil Black Mountain had been killed by him. He could not find any stronger existence to increase his merit points. Unexpectedly, after the death of the Spiritual Master, the disciples of the Three Deities Sects¡¯ Branch kept finding trouble with the Buddhist disciples. Li Xuanxin was also among them. Li Xuanxin naturally would not reject this merit that came knocking on his door. For the past few months, Li Xuanxin had used the disciples of the Three Deities Sect to increase his merit along the way. The Shaolin Muscle Strengthening Scripture had already broken through to a hundred levels. He was probably only a few hundred thousand merit points away from the perfected realm. ¡°Many disciples of the Three Deities Sect have also died. I should go further away to take a look. I still have to send Senior Xing Yun¡¯s ashes back to the Shaolin temple.¡± Li Xuanxin walked out of the cave and walked to the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain. Suddenly, he heard a melodious sound. Although the sound of the zither was melodious, the faint killing intent it revealed could not escape Li Xuanxin¡¯s detection. However, he did not expose the other party. He still held his staff and walked. Not long after, a white-robed elder appeared. ¡°A song that wrenches the heart finds a knowing ear and a liking heart¡­.¡± ¡°Now, our Three Deities Sect is hunting Buddhist disciples everywhere. You actually have the guts to walk alone in this forest. You have quite the guts.¡± Li Xuanxin was silent for a moment. ¡°Is the Three Deities Sect very strong?¡± The moment he said this, the other party suddenly paused, as if he had been verbally attacked. Then, an overwhelming killing intent surged over and locked onto Li Xuanxin with unstoppable force. ¡°You¡¯re very arrogant! Unfortunately¡­ in front of me, you shouldn¡¯t be so arrogant.¡± ¡°After you die, remember to tell the King of Hell that the one who killed you was the Vice Altar Master of the Flower Rain Altar in the Three Deities Sect, a River Realm expert of a generation, Nine-Finger Zither Devil ¡ª Jiang Mubai!¡± With that, he shook his wrist and the zither sounded again. However, it was not the melodious sound from before, but the sound of killing intent! Wherever the sound wave passed, the bamboo that was as thick as a bowl exploded. Boom boom boom¡­ The sound wave was like an invisible sword beam that reaped everything crazily. It swept forward and approached Li Xuanxin. Li Xuanxin curled up the ring finger of his right middle finger and pinched his right thumb to raise the Buddhist seal. ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± With a loud shout, a shockwave even stronger than this sound wave appeared. It was like a wave facing a child, instantly devouring the sound wave and sweeping in all directions. ¡°Oh no!¡± Jiang Mubai¡¯s pupils constricted. Just as he let out a cry, he was blown up on the spot. His body turned into dust and the zither in his hand exploded into dust. Everything returned to normal. Only the collapsed bamboo on the ground witnessed how intense the battle was. ¡°What a poser.¡± Li Xuanxin shook his head and walked forward. ¡°The Three Deities Sect slaughtered monks because of me. In that case, isn¡¯t it my fault? It seems that I should just find the Three Deities Sect¡¯s Flower Rain Altar and expiate them all before traveling. I can prevent more fellow disciples from being harmed.¡± With this in mind, Li Xuanxin used his Water Floating Technique to quickly walk between the mountains and rivers of the surrounding cities. At the same time, he used his Heavenly Eye and tried his best to find clues about the Three Deities Sect¡¯s Flower Rain Altar. It was almost noon. A hundred miles away, a small temple had just been built. This was a branch of the Little Maitreya Sect. The monks in charge of supervising the work could not help but feel relieved when they saw another Buddhist temple rise. ¡°Amitabha. Our Buddhist faction has established another temple. Congratulations.¡± ¡°Ever since that Sacred Monk of the Buddhist Sect killed Old Devil Black Mountain, our East County¡¯s Buddhist faction has been flourishing for the past few months. We don¡¯t know how many temples have been added. This is all thanks to that Sacred Monk!¡± At the mention of that Sacred Monk, everyone¡¯s eyes could not help but reveal deep reverence and anticipation. However, at this moment, a sharp shout suddenly came from afar. ¡°Damn it, you bunch of damned bald monks. You actually dare to build a Buddhist temple at the foot of my Flower Rain Altar. You¡¯re simply looking down on us. You¡¯re courting death!¡± ¡°Brothers, kill them all. Leave no one alive!¡± Hearing this voice, everyone¡¯s expressions froze. They immediately gathered. ¡°The disciples of the Three Deities Sect are here. Quick, gather!¡± A chaotic battle immediately began and quickly entered the climax. However, be it in terms of numbers or strength, the Flower Rain Altar disciples were clearly superior to these monks. Therefore, the battle quickly became one-sided. ¡°Hahaha¡­ Brothers, these bald monks can¡¯t hold on much longer. Kill them all!¡± However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded! ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± Chapter 30 - Arhat Dharma Idol, Shocking the World Chapter 30 Arhat Dharma Idol, Shocking the World With a sweep of the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Mantra, he defeated many demonic cultivators and turned them into dust. The monks were stunned. They thought that they were about to be killed by the sinister devils, but they were magically saved. ¡°Just now, did you hear the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Mantra?¡± ¡°I heard it.¡± ¡°Could it be¡­ that legendary Sacred Monk saved us?¡± ¡°Probably not? Why would the Sacred Monk come here? He should be an expert from Spirit Platform Temple.¡± ¡°Amitabha. In this battle, the newly built temple has been damaged again. Let¡¯s repair it first.¡± Everyone repaired the temple again, while Li Xuanxin walked into the mountains step by step. Just now, the disciples of the Three Deities Sect had said that this was the foot of their sect. It seemed that the Three Deities Sect should be somewhere in the deep mountains. He activated his Heavenly Eye. Wherever Li Xuanxin looked, all illusions were broken. All the illusions revealed their true forms. Soon, he discovered a cave with a few disciples guarding the door. Seeing Li Xuanxin come over, the expressions of the disciples changed. ¡°A member of the Buddhist Sect, report to the Altar Master!¡± However, just as they moved, Li Xuanxin¡¯s hand gesture changed. He struck out the Lion¡¯s Speed Seal and a pressure burst forth. Everyone was immediately frozen in the distance and could not even move. All of them opened their eyes and watched as Li Xuanxin strode into the cave. In the cave, the Flower Rain Altar Master, Murong Yuluo, had an extremely cold expression. ¡°Brother Jiang! We were good friends for many years, but now, you were actually killed. I must avenge you!¡± ¡°Altar Master, Vice Altar Master Jiang is a River Realm expert. He is the famous Nine-Finger Zither Devil. With the Heavenly Devil Zither in hand, he is rarely matched in the martial world. Who is it that actually has such strength to kill Vice Altar Master Jiang?¡± ¡°The aura emitted by his shattered soul tablet is that of a Buddhist.¡± ¡°Buddhist Sect! It¡¯s this damned Buddhist Sect again! It seems that killing the Buddhist Sect disciples one by one is not enough to make them afraid. I suggest that we all go out and destroy the nearby Buddhist Sects.¡± ¡°With your River Realm cultivation of 1,800 years, no one can defeat you!¡± Murong Yuluo clenched his fists as his eyes flickered. ¡°You¡¯re right. Although the seal on the Black Water River is about to be removed and the higher-ups want us to preserve our strength, we can¡¯t let these bald monks be arrogant. Otherwise, they will really ride on our heads and pee.¡± ¡°Pass down my orders. All disciples are ready. Tonight, follow me out and destroy the Little Maitreya Sect first!¡± Just as he finished speaking, a Buddhist chant suddenly entered everyone¡¯s ears. ¡°Amitabha! All of you have such strong killing intent. It¡¯s truly a sin!¡± Everyone was shocked. ¡°Monk? Why is a monk here?¡± Murong Yuluo narrowed his eyes. ¡°This aura is identical to the aura reflected on Brother Jiang¡¯s soul tablet. Could it be¡­ that you¡¯re the murderer who killed Brother Jiang?¡± ¡°Are you talking about the Nine-Finger Zither Devil, Jiang Mubai? That¡¯s right, I did send him away.¡± ¡°Alright! There¡¯s a ready path to heaven, but you chose to come to hell! I was about to kill you! Go, kill this bald monk!¡± Murong Yuluo gave the order. In the cave, all the evil demons of the Three Deities Sect appeared. For a time, the entire cave was filled with demonic Qi and black aura. The demonic sounds were ear-piercing, as if it was hell. Li Xuanxin was not flustered. He let the demons pounce on him. The staff in his hand stabbed into the stone ground and his hands formed the Flame Seal. His right thumb pressed against his middle finger, and his index finger pressed against his left palm. ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± The moment the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Flame World Incantation was used, Buddhist light overflowed in all directions, spreading out in all directions. Wherever the golden light passed, all the demons touched instantly burned with raging flames. ¡°Ahhh¡­¡± A heart-wrenching scream resounded throughout the mountain. All the demons were executed! One move killed three thousand demons! [Killed the evil spirit of the Three Deities Sect. Merit +203.] [Killed the evil demon of the Three Deities Sect. Merit +203.] Murong Yuluo¡¯s pupils constricted. ¡°Damn it! I¡¯ll see if you dare!¡± He roared angrily. Demonic Qi surged from his body and instantly pounced at Li Xuanxin. ¡°I¡¯m going to kill you!¡± Li Xuanxin¡¯s expression was still calm. His hand seals changed and he placed his palms together. He placed his two thumbs in his palm and pushed them forward. ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± The Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Devil Subduing Incantation was activated. Coupled with the Treasure Mountain Seal, it was like a golden Buddha descending. Boom ! The moment the two collided, the dense demonic Qi on Murong Yuluo¡¯s body dissipated on the spot. His entire body crashed into the mountain. Boom¡ª! Another world-shattering boom sounded. The entire mountain cracked like lightning. Murong Yuluo¡¯s pupils constricted in fear. He was at the River Realm with 1,800 years of cultivation. He was only 200 years away from the Mountain Sea Realm! With such powerful strength, the other party actually defeated him instantly with a single move! This fellow is actually so powerful?¡¯ ¡°You¡­ are you the Sacred Monk of the Buddhist Sect who killed Old Devil Black Mountain?¡± ¡°The dead don¡¯t need to know too much.¡± Li Xuanxin raised his hand and punched with the Arhat Fist, turning Murong Yuluo into a pool of blood. His bones were shattered and he was completely sent on his way. (Killed the Altar Master of the Three Deities Sect. Merit +127,000.) ¡°Amitabha, good, good!¡± This time, he had obtained more than 400,000 merit points. It could be imagined how serious the sins of these people had been. This was only a branch of the Three Deities Sect. It was said that the Three Deities Sect had 36 altars. How many sinful beings would there be in total? Li Xuan¡¯s heart ached. ¡°Merit Golden Lotus, increase my points. I want to become stronger and destroy these demons.¡± [270,000 merit points have been used to raise the Muscle Strengthening Scripture to the 108th level. Congratulations, host. The Muscle Strengthening Scripture has been cultivated to perfection!) At this moment, the Buddhist light on Li Xuanxin¡¯s body won greatly. The Buddhist light wheel at the back of his head doubled in size! In the entire cave, Buddhist chants suddenly sounded, purifying the hearts of the people. The swastika Buddhist words shone on the stone wall in the cave, blooming like flowers. The clouds in the sky gathered and formed a huge Arhat Dharma idol. It was ten thousand feet tall and wore a kasaya. It pressed its palms together and chanted Buddhist incantations. The Buddhist light was like a sword. Everything within a hundred miles was illuminated. The demons panicked and dug holes to hide. Those who were too weak were turned into dust on the spot. They did not even have a chance to dodge. At the foot of the mountain, the monks and workers who were repairing the Buddhist Temple were extremely excited when they saw this. ¡°Arhat Dharma Idol, Buddha has appeared. Buddha has appeared!¡± ¡°My Buddha Tathagata has endless merit!¡± ¡°I have no regrets after seeing an Arhat Dharma idol in this life!¡± Chapter 31 - Turning into Buddha Above, Tathagata Divine Palm Chapter 31 Turning into Buddha Above, Tathagata Divine Palm ¡°Senior, do you think it¡¯s that accomplished monk?! The monks of the Little Maitreya Sect could not help but guess softly. ¡°Probably not. Although Arhat is also a Dharma idol of the Buddhist Sect, he is the symbol of the Shaolin Temple. The Immovable Wisdom King is the true symbol of Spirit Platform Temple. As for that Sacred Monk, he is the Sacred Monk of Spirit Platform Temple, not the Sacred Monk of the Shaolin Temple.¡± ¡°Why are you asking so many questions? It¡¯s a Buddhist Dharma idol anyway. We just have to kneel down sincerely.¡± Li Xuanxin, who was in the cave, had a calm expression. He was used to this. On the other hand, perhaps because he had cultivated a Buddhist cultivation technique, it itself had a calm aura. The deeper he cultivated, the deeper his state of mind would become. It was naturally difficult to be moved by vanity. The Muscle Strengthening Scripture had been raised to the perfected realm. From today onwards, Li Xuanxin¡¯s cultivation speed had reached the speed of four years a day! This way, he could probably increase his cultivation realm by 1,600 years in a year. As long as he could ensure that he could successfully break through every time, he would probably reach the Creation Realm and the Universe Realm in less than two or three years¡­ Thinking of this, it seemed that reaching a cultivation level above ten thousand years was not too far away! He still had some merit points left. Li Xuanxin added points again. ¡°Merit Golden Lotus, raise the Tathagata Divine Palm!¡± (150,000 merit points have been used to advance the Tathagata Divine Palm to the 17th level.] Adding points consumed merit points. The more he progressed, the more merit points he needed. 150,000 merit points were only enough to reach the 17th level. He probably needed more than a million merit points. However, it was fine. Everything was arranged by the heavens. He just had to continue working hard. With this in mind, Li Xuanxin retracted the Buddhist light on his body and used his Water Floating Technique to float down the mountain. At this moment, a large number of cultivators and people had already gathered at the foot of the mountain and were kneeling respectfully. Li Xuanxin knew that it should be because his Muscle Strengthening Scripture had reached the perfected realm and formed the Arhat Dharma Idol that these people knelt down. In a sense, these people were kneeling to him. Thousands of people should have already gathered here, and the number was still increasing. He wondered how much it would increase in the end. Knowing the truth behind the miracle, Li Xuanxin naturally could not be bothered to stay here any longer. He turned around and left. However, at this moment, he seemed to sense something and suddenly stopped. He turned around and looked at the mountain. The Mystical Power of the Heavenly Eye allowed him to see a crack outside the mountain. Furthermore, it was gradually expanding. ¡°This is¡­¡± Rumble¡­ The next second, the mountain collapsed. The expressions of the cultivators and mountain people changed drastically. They began to scream and fled outside. Some of them peed their pants, while others fainted on the spot. Li Xuanxin raised his eyebrows. This should be caused by him destroying the three thousand demons in the Flower Rain Altar. This was because the mountain had already been hollowed out by the demons of the Three Deities Sect¡¯s Flower Rain Altar. He had already reached the Mountain Sea Realm and his methods were extraordinary. The two combined caused this situation. If this mountain collapsed and injured these mortals, that would be a huge sin. Therefore, Li Xuanxin turned around and walked back. ¡°Senior, look.¡± The disciples of the Little Maitreya Sect discovered Li Xuanxin. He wore a white monk robe and a bamboo hat. He held a Buddhist staff and was relatively different from ordinary people. More importantly, in the face of calamity, everyone was fleeing, but he was running in the opposite direction. It was impossible not to notice him. ¡°Master, don¡¯t go anymore. It¡¯s dangerous up ahead.¡± Among the people and chaos, they waved their hands and shouted, but Li Xuanxin did not look at them. ¡°Is he trying to die? Hurry up and save him!¡± The monks were about to run towards Li Xuanxin when suddenly, a huge light wheel appeared behind Li Xuanxin¡¯s head. The moment the wheel of light appeared, golden light flashed. A huge Arhat Dharma idol appeared on his body and kept increasing in size. It rose from the ground and in the blink of an eye, it shot out ten thousand feet high, even taller than a mountain! Then, he placed one hand in front of his chest and slowly stretched out his other hand. He actually caught the entire collapsed mountain and pushed it into the mountains behind. This was Shaolin¡¯s strongest Mystical Power, the Tathagata Divine Palm! Rumble¡­ After doing all of this, the Arhat Dharma idol vanished. Li Xuanxin also vanished without a trace. Everyone stopped and was dumbfounded when they saw this. Everything seemed like a dream, but the collapsed mountain rocks and the dust seemed to say that everything was real. ¡°What¡­ just happened?¡± ¡°Were we saved by the Buddha?¡± ¡°The Buddha has appeared! In a day, the Buddha appeared twice. My Buddha is merciful and has endless merit!¡± Only the monks from the Little Maitreya Sect who had noticed Li Xuanxin widened their eyes. Their hair stood on end and their faces were filled with extreme shock. Only they knew that it was not a miracle! That was a human! A single person could raise a collapsed mountain. Heavens, how strong was he to be able to do this? ¡°Just now¡­ that person¡­¡± ¡°Gulp.¡± ¡°That should be it. It¡¯s a peerless monk!¡± ¡°In the past, I¡¯ve heard that the Four Great Buddhist Sects have true experts, but I¡¯ve never seen them before. I wonder how strong they are. Seeing them today, I know that there are true Buddhas in this world!¡± Although the Little Maitreya Sect was also very strong, it was still inferior to the Four Great Buddhist Sects. The strongest they had seen had not even reached the River Realm, let alone a Mountain Sea Realm expert like Li Xuanxin! That shock touched their souls! A few days later, Li Xuanxin came to a nearby city and bought a few steamed buns by the roadside. After becoming a monk, especially after cultivating the Buddhist Dharma, Li Xuanxin¡¯s heart became calmer and calmer, so his preference for flavor became lighter. In his previous life, the things he hated the most were rice, flour, and steamed buns. He loved vegetables and meat. The current him only felt that steamed buns were the most fragrant. Opening the steamed bun, a fragrance of wheat assaulted his nose. He placed it in his mouth and chewed. It had a faint sweetness of malt sugar, making him feel very satisfied and at ease. In fact, he no longer needed to eat much. Most people no longer needed much to eat after their cultivation level reached the River Realm. It was just that his cultivation level had increased too quickly and he had yet to change his habits. He could not give up on eating immediately. However, as he was eating, he vaguely felt a few figures staring at him. Ever since he entered the city, such gazes had never left him. This puzzled Li Xuanxin. Logically speaking, there was only one altar in the Three Deities Sect¡¯s branch in the East County of the Shu State. The other 35 altars were not in the East County. No one should be spying on him anymore, right? Where did these people come from? Chapter 32 - Although Buddha is Merciful, The Angry Vajra Exists Chapter 32 Although Buddha is Merciful, The Angry Vajra Exists Puzzled, Li Xuanxin stepped out of the door and walked out of the city. The figures followed closely behind. Li Xuanxin pretended not to know. A few figures followed him to the forest outside the city. They suddenly rushed over and their expressions changed. ¡°Strange! Why is that monk gone?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. I saw him just now. Why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?¡± ¡°Amitabha. Everyone, are you looking for me?¡± Li Xuanxin¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind, startling them. They immediately turned around and looked at Li Xuanxin, feeling a little awkward. ¡°So Master has already discovered us?¡± Li Xuanxin asked indifferently, ¡°Benefactors, why are you following me?¡± They coughed lightly. ¡°Who said that we followed you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Is this road owned by your family? If you can walk, why can¡¯t we?¡± Li Xuanxin tapped the ground with the staff in his hand, and the ground suddenly shook. The few of them had shallow cultivation and could not help but kneel on the ground. ¡°Master, please spare us! Master, please spare us! We have no ill intentions. It¡¯s just that the Fiend Suppression Division has issued a reward. If we encounter any strange monks, we can report your location and be rewarded heavily.¡± ¡°The few of us just want some silver. Now, in Shu State¡¯s East County, we are not the only ones who want to obtain silver. Even if Master goes elsewhere, there will be people tracking you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Master. We were only blinded for a moment. Please forgive us. We won¡¯t dare to do it again.¡± Li Xuanxin raised his eyebrows in thought. ¡°Devil Suppressing Division¡­ Baili Tu?¡± With a thought, his body transformed into a white light and instantly vanished. He wanted to see what this fellow wanted to do? The speed at which he moved with the Water Floating Technique was very fast. In the blink of an eye, Li Xuanxin arrived at the Forest River City¡¯s residence in the East County of Shu State. Compared to this place, his cultivation level was already extremely high. No one could sense him here. Li Xuanxin did not directly enter the City Lord Manor. Instead, he stood in the sky because he heard someone arguing below. ¡°Lord Baili, the reward you issued has already caused a lot of trouble for the Buddhist cultivators of our Shu State¡¯s East County. Please withdraw the reward.¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Before we find that peerless monk, I won¡¯t cancel the bounty.¡± ¡°Lord Baili, is it really that important to find that accomplished monk? He¡¯s not a deviant. Besides, the Little Maitreya Sect and the other Buddhists of the East County were also involved in the operation to besiege the Black Demon Mountain. Aren¡¯t you afraid of hurting the hearts of the people by doing this?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of appeasing the hearts of those little monks? Finding that senior monk is a huge contribution!¡± ¡°Baili Tu, I order you in the name of the City Lord of Forest River City in the East County of Shu State to revoke the bounty. You are not allowed to pester them anymore!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, the Fiend Suppression Division is directly controlled by His Majesty. We can act first and report later. The imperial authority gives us special permission. Lord Li doesn¡¯t have the right to order me around.¡± ¡°You¡­ Baili Tu, aren¡¯t you afraid of provoking that accomplished monk and attracting his revenge?¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± Baili Tu laughed loudly. ¡°Lord Li, why are you so naive? Have you forgotten that the Buddhist Sect values mercy the most? The higher one¡¯s cultivation level is, the more benevolent they are.¡± ¡°If it was the Dao Sect or any other sect, I might not dare to provoke them.¡± ¡°An eminent Buddhist monk will definitely not take revenge on me for such a small matter. Even if he¡¯s angry, at most, as long as I kneel down and beg for mercy, they will foolishly forgive me.¡± ¡°Lord Li, don¡¯t stop me anymore. As long as I find him and recommend him to His Majesty, I will have endless wealth!¡± Just as he finished speaking, a Buddhist palm suddenly descended from the sky. Boom-! With a shocking sound, Baili Tu was slapped into a thin pancake. The City Lord of the East County, Li Qingshan, shivered in fear and almost peed his pants. At this moment, Li Xuanxin, who was dressed in a white robe, slowly descended. Although the bamboo hat on his head was only an ordinary cloth, it made people feel pressured SSU Although the Buddhist Sect was merciful, Li Xuanxin would not cut his own flesh to feed the eagle and let others bully him. He would not provoke those who did not bully him. Similarly, he would not let go of those who bullied him. Didn¡¯t they hear that the Buddhist Sect also had the Angry Vajra? Once Buddha was angry, the demons would be eradicated. Ghosts and deities would be alarmed. The wind and clouds would surge and thunder would rumble! Li Qingshan¡¯s heart beat wildly. At this moment, even if he did not know Li Xuanxin, he could guess that she was the peerless monk from that day. He took a deep breath and immediately bowed to Li Xuanxin. ¡°Junior Li Qingshan greets senior! Thank you for killing Old Devil Black Mountain a few days ago and returning peace to the people of the East County.¡± Li Xuanxin acknowledged softly. Li Qingshan immediately said, ¡°Senior, I¡¯ve already tried to persuade Baili Tu. Unfortunately, he¡¯s blinded by power and doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for him. I couldn¡¯t persuade him at all, so he disturbed you. Please forgive me.¡± ¡°I can tell right from wrong. This has nothing to do with you.¡± ¡°Yes! Thank you, senior.¡± Li Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief and said, ¡°Baili Tu deserved death. I will report to the Imperial Court and say that Baili Tu was affected by Old Devil Black Mountain¡¯s evil aura and suffered from Qi Deviation during his cultivation. He has already self-destructed and died. Senior will not be implicated.¡± Li Xuanxin nodded. He could not tell that Li Qingshan was very smart. ¡°I have something to ask you.¡± ¡°Senior, please speak. I will tell you everything I know.¡± ¡°The Black Demon Mountain is extraordinary and far exceeds ordinary demons. As the City Lord of Forest River City, why did you lack information and let so many sects perish?¡± Li Qingshan, who had just relaxed, became nervous again. ¡°Senior, you¡¯ve wronged me. I indeed don¡¯t know the strength of the Black Devil Mountain, but this extermination of demons was ordered by the East County¡¯s County Governor. I¡¯m only following orders. Everything has nothing to do with me.¡± ¡°The County Governor?¡± Li Xuanxin pondered. He could tell that Li Qingshan was not lying. ¡°Forget it, I understand. You can deal with the rest. I don¡¯t want anyone to make things difficult for my Buddhist Sect in order to rise in ranks.¡± ¡°Senior, don¡¯t worry. I will do my best to resolve this matter.¡± Li Xuanxin nodded and disappeared. Li Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Baili Tu, who had turned into a thin pancake and could not be pulled out. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Fortunately, he did not collude with Baili Tu. Otherwise, Baili Tu would probably not be the only one who had become a pancake. However, Baili Tu deserved to die! He thought that everyone in the Buddhist Sect was benevolent, so he deliberately rode on their heads and peed. He even said such overboard words. Not to mention the senior monks of the Buddhist Sect, even he could not tolerate it! Those who humiliated others would always be humiliated! If a person had no bottom line and harmed others for his own benefits, even a Buddha would not let him go. He spat at Baili Tu. At this moment, the guards outside also surged in. ¡°City Lord, what happened?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to panic! When Lord Baili Tu surrounded the Black Demon Mountain, he was struck by an evil aura. Now that he has suffered from Qi Deviation, he has self-destructed.¡± Chapter 33 - Benefiting Everyone Chapter 33 Benefiting Everyone After Forest River City, Li Xuanxin no longer appeared in front of everyone. He did not like to be tainted by the mortal world. He only wanted to increase his cultivation. However, the legends about the Sacred Monk did not stop. Instead, there were more and more. In a year, it was spread by the people of West Shu. At the Evil Phoenix Slope of West Shu, the Tathagata Divine Palm destroyed the mountain chicken demons and saved the people. In the Lingyun Valley, Buddhist lights appeared. The river-level Thousand-legged Centipede turned into thick water and could no longer hurt anyone. The ten feet Buddha held the huge ship in his hand on the Broken Soul River. He saved more than 400 people and suppressed the thousand-year-old turtle! The more Li Xuanxin did good deeds, the more people praised him. In just a short year, the people of West Shu had already praised him as the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva who saved the world! In the land of West Shu, the feelings of Buddhism became stronger and stronger. Many temples were built to offer incense. The monks ate in West Shu for almost no cost. The Little Maitreya Sect and other Buddhist sects received even more disciples and expanded greatly. In a year, Li Xuanxin had accumulated a lot of merit and had already raised the Tathagata Divine Palm to the 81st level. It couldn¡¯t be helped. Ever since he had killed the Ghost Domain¡¯s Sacred Envoy, Old Devil Black Mountain, and the Three Deities Sect¡¯s Flower Rain Altar, the demons of the Shu State¡¯s East County seemed to have been alerted and had begun to guard against him. Therefore, it was very difficult for him to encounter powerful and numerous demon factions again. He could only accumulate merit bit by bit. Li Xuanxin¡¯s cultivation had long increased to three thousand years, but unfortunately, he could not find the opportunity to break through. Breaking through each realm required an extremely great opportunity and comprehension. The further one went, the higher the requirements. When he was at the River Realm, Li Xuanxin successfully broke through in two hours. It took Li Xuanxin seven days and seven nights to reach the Mountain Sea Realm! He had comprehended enough in the Firmament Realm, but he was still lacking some opportunities. However, Li Xuanxin was not in a hurry. The Buddhist Sect paid attention to the word ¡®fate¡¯. Before fate arrived, there was no need to force it. When fate arrived, everything would naturally happen. Outside the Red Maple City of the West Shu East County, two figures walked on the forest path. One of them looked to be in his forties or fifties. He wore a silk robe and a scholar¡¯s square hat. The other person wore a red kasaya and had a string of jade beads around his neck. At first glance, he seemed to be a scholar and a Buddhist monk. He was ordinary. However, the jade pearl on the monk¡¯s neck was made of a strange material. It looked like a human bone. The shape carved on the pearl was a sinister skull. ¡°In just a short year and a half, the Three Realms suffered heavy losses. More than a hundred demons and Ghost Generals above the River Realm were killed. Countless demons and ghosts below the River Realm were lost. At this rate, when the seal of the Black Water River broke, the forces of the Three Realms of West Shu would already be exhausted. ¡°The three commanders of the Demon, Devil, and Ghost Race, will probably not forgive the two of us easily.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this something your Buddhist Sect did? We still haven¡¯t found that peerless monk.¡± ¡°Hehehe¡­ Lord Governor, that¡¯s not fair. Although I¡¯m from the Buddhist Sect, I¡¯m from the Devil Buddha lineage. I¡¯m from the Devil World¡¯s Buddhist Sect, which is different from the orthodox Buddhist Sect in the mortal world. The Buddhist Sect in the mortal world does good and accumulate merit. We like to kill and do evil.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t do what the Buddhist Sect in the mortal world does. What the Buddhist Sect in the mortal world doesn¡¯t do, we insist on doing.¡± ¡°You¡¯re all bald monks!¡± The Devil Buddha spread his hands, ¡°Alright, I can¡¯t refute that.¡± After a pause, he spoke again. ¡°However, the two of us have to be careful. The thousand years are coming. We have to hold back some of our strength. Otherwise, we won¡¯t be able to answer to the three generals.¡± ¡°I know. I¡¯ve already stopped the human sects from besieging the demons. The remaining demons have already begun to hide and try their best to avoid that Buddhist monk. In another year or so, the seal of the Black Water River will open and the three generals will return to the mortal world. We won¡¯t have to be afraid of that so-called Buddhist monk anymore.¡± ¡°The seal has been removed. There¡¯s still a year and a half. I have to go to the Shaolin Temple. The Buddhist Discussion has already begun. The Shaolin Temple is the first stop. I want to stop him there and devour him to completely complete my Devil Buddha Golden Body!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll leave the entire West Shu to you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t die.¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­ If I die, Lord Governor will be the general who controls the forces of the Three Realms alone! Isn¡¯t this what Lord Governor wants? I¡¯ll go.¡± After the Devil Buddha left, a strange expression flashed across the County Governor¡¯s eyes. ¡°All bald monks in the world are equally annoying. The righteous path in the mortal world is like this, and so is the demonic path.¡± Shaking his head, he sighed helplessly. ¡°Forget it, I should find that bald monk first. I can¡¯t let him continue being arrogant.¡± In a small town a hundred miles away, Li Xuanxin came with a staff. He was dressed in white and was untainted by dust. He was so pure that no one dared to profane him. ¡°In a year, more than half of the demons in West Shu¡¯s East County have been expiated by me. In a few days, I can go to the Chu State¡¯s Shaolin Temple and bury Senior Xing Yun. I can also return to Spirit Platform Temple to see Master and the others.¡± He came to the human town again. This time, Li Xuanxin felt different. On the streets, there were many more monks than a year ago. They wore monk robes and had shaved their heads. However, Li Xuanxin¡¯s eyes were sharp. He could tell at a glance that not all these monks were sincere towards Buddha. Many of them were only shaving their heads and did not even have any scars. There were even some bald people who actually drank and ate meat on the streets. It was really indecent. Li Xuanxin raised his eyebrows slightly and sat in the tea house for a while. ¡°Waiter, get me a pot of water.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯m coming. I¡¯ll get a pot of fresh water for you. Enjoy.¡± The waiter brought over a pot of cold water. Li Xuanxin took out eight copper coins. The waiter immediately smiled. ¡°Our shop has rules. When Buddhists drink tea, there¡¯s no need to spend money. It¡¯s all free. If you force me to accept it and other Buddhas find out, it¡¯s a small matter if I¡¯ll be beaten up, but there¡¯s a high chance that this tea house won¡¯t be able to continue.¡± Li Xuanxin said indifferently, ¡°I always pay for my water. Otherwise, I won¡¯t drink it.¡± ¡°Erm¡­ Alright, I¡¯ll ask the shopkeeper.¡± The waiter took Li Xuanxin¡¯s copper coin and said a few words to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper happily accepted the copper coins. Li Xuanxin poured his water. He had just poured a cup of tea when he heard a praise. ¡°Not drinking expensive tea and paying for what you consume. This is a true disciple of the Buddhist Sect, not a bald hooligan who makes trouble and takes advantage of the situation.¡± Li Xuanxin glanced at the other party. It was a young man in a green robe. He looked very handsome. However, his cultivation level was not ordinary. 2,600 years of cultivation! The aura in his body was dense, but it gave off a feeling of reality and illusion. It was the Dao Sect¡¯s Yin and Yang Qi. Not many people could reach this cultivation level at such a young age. There should¡­ only be one in the Dao Sect, right? Chapter 34 - Illusion Chapter 34 Illusion ¡°Let me introduce myself. I am Ji Tianlin from the Dao Sect. I was moved just now. Do you find it rude?¡± Ji Tianlin? The name was so similar. He was also a Dao Sect disciple with more than 2,600 years of cultivation. It was probably Ji Tianlin of the Immeasurable Sect, right? However, Li Xuanxin did not expose him. Under normal circumstances, only those who were too strong could see through the other party¡¯s cultivation. If he said that he had seen through the other party¡¯s strength and identity, wouldn¡¯t that indirectly admit that he was stronger than him? They were strangers. Li Xuanxin did not want a stranger to know his strength. ¡°I am Xuanxin of Spirit Platform Temple.¡± Hearing that Li Xuanxin was from Spirit Platform Temple, Ji Tianlin¡¯s eyes lit up with joy. ¡°So you¡¯re a Dharma Master from Spirit Platform Temple. Sorry for my lack of manners. If you don¡¯t mind, can you come over? I¡¯ll treat you to a cup of tea.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for tea. I¡¯m used to drinking cold water.¡± ¡°Alright, but the tea house is already full. We¡¯ll share a table. You won¡¯t mind, right?¡± ¡°Up to you.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Ji Tianlin smiled and thanked him. Then, he shouted at the counter, ¡°Shopkeeper, give me a pot of good tea. I want the most expensive one. I don¡¯t lack money.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Ji Tianlin turned around and looked at Li Xuanxin. He asked curiously, ¡°Master Xuanxin, Spirit Platform Temple is quite far from here. Why are you here?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been traveling for more than a year.¡± ¡°I see. However, Master Xuanxin, you¡¯ve come at a good time. Now that the West Shu¡¯s Buddhism is flourishing, many people respect the Buddhist disciples.¡± However, there were also many people who used this opportunity to obtain benefits. Even some Buddhist disciples could not help but be greedy and began to be arrogant. ¡°True monks like Master Xuanxin are rare.¡± Li Xuanxin raised his eyebrows. In a sense, he was responsible for this matter. But sometimes, things were so dramatic. If he did not kill those demons, the people of West Shu would not be at peace. By killing those demons, he had instead given benefits to some people who used the Buddhist Sect¡¯s name. Therefore, what filled the world with sins might not be demons, but the hearts of people. The human heart could never be satisfied. Ji Tiandao¡¯s tea was quickly served. He also poured a cup for Li Xuanxin. ¡°Although you don¡¯t care, I can¡¯t be shameless. Take this cup of tea as me thanking you for letting me share the table.¡± Li Xuanxin nodded and did not say anything else. He accepted it. The two of them sipped their tea and did not say anything else. Compared to the other noisy guests, they were quite different. However, at this moment, there was a commotion on the street. ¡°Look, two groups of monks are fighting.¡± ¡°Why are these Buddhist disciples fighting?¡± ¡°Good fight! Good fight! Beat them until they¡¯re bald and croaking. I¡¯ve long found them an eyesore. The one who saved West Shu was the Sacred Monk. These freeloading bastards took advantage of us. I¡¯m so angry.¡± When the tea house guests heard this, they also gathered on the street to watch the battle. For a time, the streets were lively. Ji Tianlin glanced at it and shook his head. ¡°It¡¯s really ridiculous. They¡¯re simply embarrassing the Buddhist Sect by doing this.¡± After a pause, he said, ¡°However, this is not strange. After all, because of the Sacred Monk, West Shu¡¯s Buddhist faction is now at its peak. Many people have mixed in.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, I heard that the Sacred Monk knows the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation. He should be from Spirit Platform Temple. Master Xuanxin is also from Spirit Platform Temple. Do you know anything about that Sacred Monk?¡± Li Xuanxin shook his head. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen him before. I¡¯m not sure.¡± Ji Tianlin felt a little regretful. ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of being laughed at by Master Xuanxin. I came to West Shu to see that peerless monk. Unfortunately, I¡¯ve been in West Shu for a year and haven¡¯t gained anything ¡°If Master Xuanxin knows, please help me introduce him. I will definitely thank you.¡± ¡°If I see him, I¡¯ll help you ask.¡± ¡°Thank you very much.¡± Just as he finished speaking, a new change occurred on the street. A man in his forties or fifties dressed in a silk robe suddenly entered and used a powerful Mystical Power to deal with the two groups of monks. They retreated to the side of the street. ¡°How impudent! As members of the Buddhist Sect, how can you act recklessly on the streets? It¡¯s simply an insult to the Buddhist Sect!¡± The Buddhist disciples on both sides were still not convinced and immediately roared, ¡°Who do you think you are? You dare to attack us just because your cultivation level is high? When our sect elders come, we¡¯ll make you suffer!¡± ¡°Yes, leave your name if you have the guts.¡± ¡°Alright! If your sect wants to find me, then go to the Shu State¡¯s Maple Leaf City. I won¡¯t change my name or surname. I am Shu State¡¯s East County¡¯s County Governor, Fu Yun!¡± With that said, the bustling street instantly fell silent. ¡°Lord¡­ Governor?¡± Everyone widened their eyes and looked at the other party in disbelief. The County Governor of the East County of the Shu State was equivalent to the local king! They did not expect him to appear here. ¡°Greetings, Lord Governor!¡± ¡°Greetings, Lord Governor.¡± Suddenly, it was unknown who started it, but the cultivators on the street knelt down one after another. Seeing that Fu Yun was dealing with this fairly without any bias or arrogance, Ji Tianlin praised, ¡°Not bad. This Fu Yun looks very competent and doesn¡¯t put on airs. He should be a good official. The Imperial Court¡¯s nurturing of him was not in vain.¡± Under the bamboo hat, Li Xuanxin said indifferently, ¡°Illusion has no substance. It¡¯s difficult to see with the naked eye. There are some things that need to be observed carefully to come to a conclusion.¡± Ji Tianlin could not help but frown in confusion. ¡°Master, do you mean that Fu Yun is acting?¡± ¡°I¡¯m only guessing¡­¡± Li Xuanxin said slowly. He had always wanted to say that West Shu was not strong enough. They surrounded the demons and forced them to run rampant. Unfortunately, there was no suitable person in the Shu State to say that. Li Changqing¡¯s cultivation was not enough. If he rashly told him and the news was exposed, it would only attract a fatal disaster. Now that a big shot like Ji Tianlin had appeared, he could tell him. Ji Tianlin would definitely investigate in the future. If Fu Yun was not guilty, that would be the best. However, if Fu Yun was guilty and discovered in time, it could be considered a good deed for the dead people and cultivators of West Shu. ¡°A year ago, the West Shu¡¯s East County issued a recruitment order to let the cultivators of the East County cooperate with the experts of the Fiend Suppression Division to participate in the encirclement of demons. ¡°However, with the strength of the cultivators in the various cities at that time, even if they joined forces with the Fiend Suppression Division, it was very difficult to pose a fatal threat to the demons¡­¡± Chapter 35 - Exposed Chapter 35 Exposed Li Xuanxin¡¯s words made Ji Tianlin¡¯s expression turn solemn. If it was really as he said, it would not be an ordinary problem. The demons of the Great Zhou were usually suppressed by the Imperial Court and did not dare to act rashly. However, even a dog would jump over the wall if forced to¡­ ¡°Fellow Daoist Xuanxin, is there any evidence regarding this?¡± Ji Tianlin was also very friendly. Li Xuanxin had just started to communicate with him when he changed his words from Dharma Master to Fellow Daoist. ¡°You should be able to ask some small sects. Back then, the siege battle caused quite a commotion. Many sects suffered heavy losses.¡± ¡°They didn¡¯t know the strength of the demons, but as the County Governor of the East County of the Shu State, Fu Yun¡¯s cultivation level should be above the Mountain Sea Realm, right? It would be a joke if he didn¡¯t know.¡± Ji Tianlin took a deep breath and cupped his hands. ¡°Thank you for your reminder, Fellow Daoist Xuanxin. This is very important. I can¡¯t sit by and do nothing. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± With that, Ji Tianlin bid farewell and left. The moment he disappeared, Fu Yun on the street suddenly sensed something and glanced over. ¡°The aura of the Six Armor Divine Movement? Someone from the Immeasurable Sect?¡± Li Xuanxin saw everything. He did not expect Fu Yun¡¯s strength to be extraordinary. Unfortunately, the Buddhist Sect had the Heavenly Eye Mystical Power. After comprehending it, they could see through illusions. Even if they were at the same realm and the other party¡¯s cultivation was slightly stronger than Li Xuanxin¡¯s, he could easily see through them. 1 VOU as an ¡°I hope you don¡¯t let down your status as an official.¡± Shaking his head, Li Xuanxin also left the tea house and continued his journey. A few days later, at the East County County Governor¡¯s residence. A figure quickly entered and followed the path to the backyard of the County Governor¡¯s residence. This was the residence of the County Governor, Fu Yun, and his family. ¡°Sir.¡± Fu Yun was throwing food to feed the goldfish in the garden. When he heard the other party¡¯s voice, he did not even turn around. ¡°Have you found out?¡± ¡°Sir, I¡¯ve found out. Recently, there has been a young man from a few sects asking about the siege of demons.¡± ¡°Do you have any information about the other party?¡± ¡°No. The other party usually uses pills and gold and silver as bribes. They also use pseudonyms. They are different in several places, so we can¡¯t determine the other party¡¯s identity.¡± ¡°However, one of them used his memories to draw a portrait.¡± ¡°Let me see.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± The other party took the feed from Fu Yun and handed him a portrait. When he saw the portrait, Fu Yun¡¯s eyes flickered. ¡°It¡¯s really him!¡± ¡°Sir! Who is this person? Why do you think so highly of him?¡± ¡°Dao Sect¡¯s Immeasurable Sect, Ji Tianlin.¡± ¡°Ji Tianlin! That genius from the Dao Sect? The second on the Genius Ranking?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°But why would this person come to our West Shu? Why would he investigate the siege of demons?¡± ¡°That¡¯s because he has another identity.¡± ¡°What identity?¡± ¡°Great Zhou¡¯s Second Prince!¡± ¡°Gasp!¡± Hearing this, the other party felt his scalp tingle and all his hair stood on end. The Second Prince of Great Zhou was one of the Crown Princes of Great Zhou. He was one of the people who would compete for the throne in the future! If things went wrong, he might become the Emperor of the Great Zhou in the future! ¡°It seems that the Imperial Court has already noticed something unusual. There¡¯s still a year and a half until the seal of the Black Water River. No matter what, we have to delay this.¡± ¡°However, this might be a good opportunity for us¡­¡± ¡°Previously, we had wanted to use these cultivators to besiege the demons of the Three Realms. Then, they would be killed by the demons and transformed into vengeful spirits to increase our strength.¡± ¡°Unfortunately, it was ruined by that Buddhist monk. Now that West Shu is gradually becoming peaceful, the Imperial Court will no longer send anyone. Why don¡¯t¡­ we kill Ji Tianlin? The Emperor of the Great Zhou will not watch his son be killed and not send troops to eliminate the demons.¡± ¡°But¡­ Lord, what if the Imperial Court blames us?¡± ¡°Why would he blame us? He secretly came to West Shu and didn¡¯t inform me. Besides¡­ don¡¯t forget, he was killed by demons.¡± ¡°Lord is wise.¡± ¡°Send a message to the seventeen Ghost Generals. Attack in full force and besiege Ji Tianlin!¡± A few days later, Li Xuanxin followed a few merchants and headed to Chu State. Walking into the forest, the merchants rested. At this moment, a butler handed Li Xuanxin a pot of water. ¡°Little Master, you must be thirsty after walking for so long.¡± ¡°Thank you, benefactor.¡± Li Xuanxin clasped his hands and bowed. He took the tea. The moment he opened the lid, his expression changed slightly, but he still drank the water without showing a trace of suspicion. Seeing him drink the water, joy flashed across the butler¡¯s eyes. ¡°How many years has Little Master been a monk?¡± ¡°Almost eight years?¡± ¡°Eight years. I couldn¡¯t tell. Little Master is so young, but you have already been a monk for eight years. The Buddhist Sect is peaceful and Little Master is hot-blooded. You can actually endure it. I¡¯m impressed.¡± ¡°You flatter me.¡± The butler smiled and continued, ¡°Little Master is so young. Have you ever thought of returning to the secular world?¡± ¡°Benefactor, you mean¡­?¡± The butler looked at the carriage. The curtain was lifted slightly and a cute beauty could be vaguely seen staring at Li Xuanxin greedily. ¡°To be honest, yesterday, when you took off your bamboo hat to wash your face, my young miss took a look and became distracted. She couldn¡¯t sleep at night and secretly fell in love.¡± ¡°Little Master is handsome and carefree. My young miss is as beautiful as a flower. You are really a match made in heaven. I hope that Little Master will return to the secular world and marry into our Fu Family.¡± ¡°You must be joking. I¡¯m a monk.¡± ¡°Hehehe, if you renounce asceticism, you won¡¯t be a monk anymore.¡± ¡°Little Master, let me tell you something. My family¡¯s young miss is the niece of Lord Fu Yun, the County Governor of the East County. If you marry her, you will enjoy wealth and luxury. Isn¡¯t it better than being a monk?¡± Li Xuanxin¡¯s expression was calm as he slowly said, ¡°What if¡­ I don¡¯t agree?¡± The butler chuckled. ¡°Before you, there were a few people who disagreed. However, their entire family disappeared from this world.¡± ¡°But you don¡¯t have to worry, because I¡¯ve already drugged the water you drank just now. Later, you¡¯ll be our young miss¡¯ husband, so she won¡¯t kill you!¡± Li Xuanxin sighed faintly and did not waste any more time. Flames rose. ¡°Namah samanta vajr¨¡n¨¡m, ham!¡± With the Flame World Incantation, Buddhist light spread out. Wherever it passed, it carbonized the few of them and turned them into dust. ¡°Amitabha!¡± With the chanting of the Buddhist mantra, Li Xuanxin turned around and embarked on his journey again. Being handsome was a sin. Although there was no clear law that said that handsome people had to be punished, they would be noticed no matter where they went. They would even be targeted and others would not hesitate to take the risk to do something that went against the moral law to obtain him. This brought sin. Either Li Xuanxin killed the other party or she snatched him away. If he could defend himself and was stronger, he would survive. However, if he was not handsome, this tragedy would not have happened. Li Xuanxin sighed deeply. ¡°Buddha, please pity me. In my next life, don¡¯t let me be so good-looking anymore! Such a good-looking appearance is a sin to Buddhist disciples!¡± Chapter 36 - Bodhi Bead Chapter 36 Bodhi Bead ¡°The King sent me to patrol the mountains. I will tour the mortal world, beat my drum, and beat my gong. Life is full of rhythm¡­¡± On the long and narrow mountain path, a small marten monster carried a small flag and patrolled the mountain. It walked to a mountain stream before putting down the flag and squatting by the water to drink. A small yellow fish swam up and asked curiously, ¡°Brother Marten, why are you still patrolling the mountain?¡± ¡°Sigh, don¡¯t mention it. Isn¡¯t it all because of that Buddhist monk? Ever since he came to our West Shu, our three races have suffered greatly. ¡°It is said that almost all the demons who encountered him had died.¡± ¡°Although our Demon Division has already hidden, my boss still lets me out to patrol the mountain every day to pay attention to that monk¡¯s movements.¡± ¡°Sigh! I really don¡¯t know when this damned bald monk will leave West Shu. If this continues, I think our demons will have to consider moving out.¡± Just as the two demons were sighing, a voice suddenly sounded from behind the marten. ¡°Amitabha. Although I¡¯m subduing demons and devils, I¡¯m only after evil demons who kill. The two of you haven¡¯t harmed anyone and don¡¯t have any negative karma on you. I naturally won¡¯t hurt you.¡± The body of the marten monster that was drinking water instantly trembled. From the reflection in the water, it saw Li Xuanxin¡¯s figure and ran away in fear. Its speed was even faster than the whirlwind. ¡°The monk is here! The monk has entered the mountain! Run!¡± Only Li Xuanxin and the little yellow fish were left by the water. After being shocked for three seconds, the little yellow fish immediately turned around and ran. However, to its surprise, it lost its composure and bumped into a huge rock. The huge force made its head instantly dizzy. Before it felt dizzy, it could not help but cry and beg, ¡°Master, please spare my life. I¡¯m not delicious at all. I¡¯m prickly and poisonous. I pee in the water and drink it myself. I poop and eat it myself. I¡¯m not clean¡­¡± Li Xuanxin sighed and shook his head. The heavens could testify for him. Although he subdued demons and devils, he really did not go around killing the innocent, alright? He would never harm demons without any demonic aura on them. He had never eaten meat. Why did it feel like his reputation among the three races was so tarnished? This was clearly a rumor spread by those demons who deserved death to attract the hatred of the entire race. It seemed that he had to expiate a few more demons today to fulfill his Buddhist heart! However, before Li Xuanxin could leave the water, the forest in the distance stirred. Several figures emerged from the grass and surrounded him. Among them was a wolf with a human head and a human-shaped crocodile¡­ All of them were fiendish and had crimson eyes. Clearly, they were the demons in the mountain. W ¡°Damn bald monk, how dare you barge into our demon territory! Do you really think that there¡¯s no one in our demon race?¡± ¡°Brothers, kill him!¡± ¡°Strip him and eat his heart and lungs!¡± The demons roared and rushed over¡­ Li Xuanxin was about to attack when she suddenly sensed something and did not use the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation. Just as they were about to attack, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky. ¡°Imperial Order¡ªHeavenly Thunder Technique!¡± Boom-! With a boom, dozens of demons were reduced to dust. The next moment, Ji Tianlin landed. ¡°Fellow Daoist Xuanxin, are you alright?¡± Li Xuanxin nodded. Ji Tianlin heaved a sigh of relief. ¡°I¡¯ve been investigating the East County¡¯s County Governor for the past few days. I didn¡¯t expect to bump into Fellow Daoist Xuanxin today. Fortunately, I made it in time. These demons are not weak. If they join forces, I¡¯m afraid they will harm you.¡± Li Xuanxin did not continue the topic. These demons¡­ Well, they might not even be able to break through his protective aura. ¡°Fellow Daoist, have you verified what I said?¡± Ji Tianlin retracted the guilt on his face and immediately put on a serious expression. ¡°It has been verified and the authenticity of this matter has been confirmed. I have already sent a message to the Shu State Governor and brought the experts of the Fiend Suppression Division to the East County to capture the East County¡¯s County Governor, Fu Yun.¡± Li Xuanxin saw a black light appear on Ji Tianlin¡¯s forehead. His eyes could not help but move. This was an ominous sign! Ever since he had comprehended the Buddhist Heavenly Eye, Li Xuanxin discovered that he could already vaguely see some auspicious or ferocious signs on others. This might be a Buddhist Mystical Power. He already had a deeper understanding and communication with the power of heaven and earth. Due to the tragedy of Old Monk Xing Yun and Ji Tianlin¡¯s good character, Li Xuanxin kindly reminded, ¡°East County is Fu Yun¡¯s territory and is filled with spies. Fellow Daoist, when you investigate, be wary of Fu Yun discovering you. You should make plans early and leave East County first.¡± Ji Tianlin did not expect Li Xuanxin to think of this. After being slightly stunned, he smiled and said, ¡°Fellow Daoist Xuanxin, you¡¯re being too serious. Although Fu Yun is the County Governor of the East County, he might not have the ability. I¡¯m only asking some small sects about it.¡± ¡°In addition, the experts sent by the Imperial Court will arrive in a few days. I just need to wait a little longer and it will be Fu Yun¡¯s end.¡± There was another reason why Ji Tianlin said that. It was because of his strength. Two years ago, he was already second on the Talent Ranking. He had a cultivation of 2,400 years, and now, he had already reached 2,600 years. Even if Fu Yun really wanted to kill him, he had a chance to escape. Li Xuanxin did not say anything else. Everything was fate. There were some things that others would not believe unless they encountered trouble. Moreover, with Ji Tianlin¡¯s strength, there should not be many people who could threaten his life. ¡°That¡¯s for the best. However, you should still be careful.¡± Ji Tianlin nodded. ¡°Speaking of which, have you seen that Sacred Monk from your Spirit Platform Temple recently?¡± Li Xuanxin shook his head. ¡°No.¡± Ji Tianlin sighed deeply and smiled bitterly. ¡°I¡¯ve been in West Shu for more than a year and haven¡¯t found that Sacred Monk. It seems that it¡¯s difficult to find him now.¡± ¡°In another year and a half, it will be the Great Zhou Martial Dao Meeting. I have to return to the sect to prepare. I can¡¯t continue searching¡­ Sigh, that¡¯s right.¡± With that said, Ji Tianlin suddenly thought of something and took out a small golden bag from his waist. It was the storage bag of a cultivator. It was extremely rare in the world. Li Xuanxin had noticed it the first time he saw Ji Tianlin. Ji Tianlin took out a palm-sized golden Buddha Bead. ¡°This is the Bodhi Bead that Master Bodhi of the Bodhi Temple gave my master. It has a very strong Buddhist nature. I originally used it to find the Sacred Monk of the West Shu, but after searching for more than a year, I couldn¡¯t find him. I can¡¯t continue to search for the Sacred Monk for the time being, so I might as well hand it to you for the time being ¡°This is a Buddhist Supreme Treasure. Perhaps you can comprehend some insight from it.¡± ¡°In exchange, can you help me find that Sacred Monk?¡± Chapter 37 - Bodhi Scripture, Thousand-Hand Buddha Chapter 37 Bodhi Scripture, Thousand-Hand Buddha! ¡°This gift is too valuable. It¡¯s not suitable for me to take it.¡± ¡°This is only a transaction. Even if I bring the Bodhi Bead back, I won¡¯t be able to find a Sacred Monk. Instead, if you travel the mountains, you will have a better chance of finding him.¡± ¡°Even if you can¡¯t find it, you¡¯ve worked hard. Comprehend the Bodhi Bead and treat it as my reward.¡± Li Xuanxin stared at Ji Tianlin. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I won¡¯t return this Supreme Treasure to you?¡± Ji Tianlin smiled. ¡°If you don¡¯t give it to me and become greedy, you will become a demon. From now on, you will no longer have a Buddhist heart! Without a Buddhist heart, you will no longer be a Buddhist disciple. What¡¯s the use of this Buddhist Supreme Treasure, the Bodhi Bead?¡± Li Xuanxin smiled and no longer refused. Since it was a Supreme Treasure of the Bodhi Temple, it might have some Buddhist comprehension. It was also very good to comprehend. As for finding the Sacred Monk¡­ If he could not find this, he could give him some other exchange, such as secretly helping him once. It could be considered repayment for this karma. Seeing Li Xuanxin accept it, Ji Tianlin smiled. ¡°I still have something to do, so I¡¯ll take my leave first. See you if fate allows.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll meet again if fate allows.¡± The two of them bid farewell. Ji Tianlin used the Six Armor Divine Movement and vanished. After sensing Ji Tianlin¡¯s aura and completely leaving, Li Xuanxin held the Bodhi Bead in his hand and slightly released a trace of Buddhist power. The Bodhi Bead immediately soared like a bright sun. A Buddha statue sat cross-legged in the Bodhi. It chanted Buddhist scriptures and was surrounded by peace and righteousness. Golden lotuses spun under it, filled with supreme might. As long as this thing sensed the dense Buddhist power, it would react. However, Li Xuanxin never exposed his aura, so even if Ji Tianlin was beside him, it was impossible for him to sense it. ¡°What a good thing. As expected of a Dharma treasure given by the Bodhi Temple¡¯s Master Bodhi. It¡¯s filled with the profundities of the Buddhist Sect. If I can comprehend it, it might allow me to break through to the Firmament Realm!¡± Li Xuanxin took a step and instantly disappeared. He found a mountain stream and began to study the Bodhi Bead. He circulated the Muscle Strengthening Scripture and an Arhat Golden Body protected him. This could prevent anyone from launching a sneak attack while he was comprehending. Li Xuanxin immersed his Essence Soul in the Bodhi Bead and was wrapped by the supreme Buddhist power. He immediately felt his cultivation level increase rapidly. ¡°Amitabha, good, good! I didn¡¯t expect that after a thousand years, there would actually be someone who could comprehend the profundities of the Bodhi Bead. It¡¯s really one of the greatest blessings of our Buddhist faction.¡± Li Xuanxin had just entered the Bodhi Bead when suddenly, a Buddhist voice attracted his attention. On careful look, it was the Essence Soul of a Buddha. ¡°You are¡­?¡± ¡°Hehehe, I¡¯m Master Jue Hui of Bodhi Temple.¡± ¡°A thousand years ago, when Middle Earth was in chaos, in order to eradicate the Devil General, Bone Corrosion, I sacrificed myself to the Buddha to eliminate the devils. I suppressed the devils and my Essence Soul was also sealed in the Bodhi Bead.¡± ¡°For a thousand years, I have been waiting for a fated person to solve the mystery of the Bodhi Bead and release my Essence Soul.¡± ¡°I see. Sorry for my lack of manners.¡± ¡®However, although I¡¯m a disciple of the Buddhist faction, I¡¯m from Spirit Platform Temple and not Bodhi Temple. My inheritance is different, so I can¡¯t release you.¡¯ ¡°Why don¡¯t I bring the Bodhi Bead to the Bodhi Temple and let Master Bodhi help Senior break the seal?¡± Master Jue Hui¡¯s eyes moved slightly, then he smiled. ¡°There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble. Little child, you only need to learn the two supreme Buddhist cultivation techniques in this Bodhi Bead-Bodhi Scripture and Thousand-Hand Buddha. Cultivate them to the tenth level and you can release my Essence Soul.¡± ¡°So simple?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°But I¡¯m not a disciple of the Bodhi Temple. Isn¡¯t it a little inappropriate to cultivate the Supreme Technique of the Bodhi Temple?¡± ¡°Hehe, so what? The Buddhists of the world are one family. Besides, I have an extremely high status in the Bodhi Temple. With me as a guarantor, you won¡¯t have any trouble. You can trust me freely.¡± Li Xuanxin remained silent. He first imprinted the Bodhi Scripture and the Thousand-Handed Buddha on the Merit Golden Lotus. Then, he said again, ¡°Before cultivating, I want to ask Senior something.¡± Jue Hui smiled faintly, ¡°Go ahead.¡± ¡°Senior said that a thousand years ago, you sealed the Devil General, Bone Corrosion, in the Bodhi Bead. Then why is there only you here and not him?¡± A hint of gloominess flashed across his eyes, but he still smiled calmly. ¡°Isn¡¯t this very easy to understand? It¡¯s been a thousand years. The Devil General has long been expiated by me using Buddhist Dharma. His soul has dissipated and he has vanished without a trace!¡± ¡°Oh~! Then Senior¡¯s Buddhist cultivation should be very profound. Why¡­ are you so impatient? You¡¯re even inferior to a junior like me? Or is Senior the Devil General yourself?¡± The smile on Master Jue Hui¡¯s face gradually disappeared. ¡°Little monk, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so scheming at such a young age!¡± Then, his body transformed from an accomplished monk to a figure emitting black demonic Qi. ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m the Devil General, Bone Corrosion! Originally, if you obediently learn the ten levels of the Bodhi Scripture and break the seal, I might let you live.¡± ¡°But you insisted on acting smart and exposing me.¡± ¡°Even if you expose me, what¡¯s the point? My punch has 2,800 years of cultivation. Can you block it?¡± ¡°Hurry up and cultivate the tenth level of the Bodhi Scripture. Let me out. Otherwise, I¡¯ll make you suffer.¡± However, just as he finished speaking, Li Xuanxin struck out with his palm. Boom-! The Buddhist light shone brightly. The entire Bodhi Bead was filled with Buddhist light. Three thousand years of cultivation transformed into a huge Buddhist palm. In an instant, it turned the Devil General into ashes! ¡°Sorry, this palm of mine has three thousand years of cultivation.¡± Li Xuanxin said indifferently, but then he frowned. Because he felt that the Devil General that he had shattered into pieces had actually condensed again and revived. ¡°Huff! Huff!¡± His Essence Soul constantly absorbed the energy he dissipated and looked at Li Xuanxin in shock. ¡°You¡­ How can you have three thousand years of cultivation? How old are you? Your bone age is at most thirty years. No, you are twenty years old at most! How can you have three thousand years of cultivation with twenty years of lifespan?¡± Li Xuanxin was also a little surprised. ¡°You weren¡¯t killed by my palm?¡± Devil General, Bone Corrosion, came back to his senses and smiled coldly. ¡°I¡¯ve been in this Bodhi Bead for a thousand years and have long become one with it. There are 108 perfected levels of the Bodhi Scripture and the Thousand-Hand Buddha in the Bodhi Bead! ¡°Unless you cultivate the Bodhi Temple or the Supreme Mystical Power of another Buddhist Sect and reach the perfected 108th level, exceeding the limits of the Bodhi Bead, you can¡¯t kill me. No one can kill me.¡± With that said, he suddenly laughed proudly. ¡°Hahaha¡­ I suddenly don¡¯t want to go out. You¡¯ve entered the Bodhi Bead. As long as I don¡¯t agree, you can¡¯t leave.¡± ¡°I only have 2,800 years of cultivation, but you have 3,000 years of cultivation. You are a top-notch genius of the Human Race!¡± ¡°Sacrificing myself in exchange for a supreme genius with three thousand years of cultivation, this is simply a huge benefit to our Devil Race!¡± ¡°From now on, you will stay in this Bodhi Bead and accompany me obediently. Stay with me forever.¡± Li Xuanxin¡¯s expression did not change. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say that as long as one cultivates the Supreme Mystical Power of the Buddhist Sect and reaches the 108th level, they can surpass the bearing limit of the Bodhi Bead and kill you?¡± Chapter 38 - Seventeen Chapter 38 Seventeen Ghost Generals ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± Hearing Li Xuanxin¡¯s words, the Devil General immediately laughed as if he had heard a huge joke. ¡°Do you think I didn¡¯t sense it just now? Your cultivation is extremely deep, and you¡¯ve probably already reached the perfected 108th level of the Muscle Strengthening Scripture.¡± ¡°However, your Tathagata Divine Palm has yet to reach the 108th level!¡± ¡°If you want to suppress the Bodhi Bead, your cultivation technique and Heart Sutra have to break through to the 108th level.¡± ¡°Even if you are talented, countless years will have passed by the time you reach the 108th level of the Tathagata Divine Palm. At that time, the Great Zhou will have long been flattened by our Three Realms!¡± ¡°Then I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll have to disappoint you.¡± With that said, Li Xuanxin began to circulate the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture. The light on his body began to change and his strength attributes changed slightly¡­ ¡°Hmph! Stop pretending. Recognize reality! You¡­¡± Before he finished speaking, the Devil General¡¯s body suddenly shook. His eyes widened and the rest of his words were stuck in his throat. Because he had already seen a shocking Buddhist aura erupt from Li Xuanxin¡¯s body again. The vast Buddhist power finally formed an Immovable Wisdom King Dharma idol that continued to increase. In the blink of an eye, it reached ten thousand feet tall! It shocked the evil creatures of the world. ¡°This¡­ How is this possible? This is impossible! You clearly used the Shaolin temple¡¯s Muscle Strengthening Scripture just now. How did you cultivate the Spirit Platform Temple¡¯s Immovable Wisdom King Scripture in the blink of an eye? Furthermore, it¡¯s so powerful. You¡¯ve already cultivated it to the perfected realm?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not over yet.¡± Li Xuanxin said silently. Then, he formed a seal with both hands and chanted the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Nine Words True Sun Technique. ¡°Come! Soldier! Fight! Group! Gather! Formation! Advance!¡± For a time, the Buddhist light soared again, as bright as the sun. ¡°This¡­ this is the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation? The Immovable Wisdom King Incantation at the perfected realm! This is impossible! I don¡¯t believe it! I don¡¯t believe it!! Devil General Bone Corrosion roared in disbelief. Li Xuanxin was young and had already reached three thousand years of cultivation. This was already an extremely impossible thing, but he still had the perfected Muscle Strengthening Scripture. As long as he consumed some natural treasures to accumulate, he could still barely reach it. But he also cultivated the Immovable Wisdom King Scripture and the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation! That was Spirit Platform Temple¡¯s Supreme Mystical Power! It was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for ordinary people to cultivate it. Li Xuanxin was so young. It was fine if he cultivated two cultivation techniques to the perfected realm at the same time, but there was actually a max-level Immovable Wisdom King Incantation! How shocking was this speed? That was one of the four top-notch Heart Sutras and Mystical Powers of the Buddhist faction! Even if he was from the Devil Race, he had never heard of such a monstrous thing. Li Xuanxin¡¯s potential was simply pressing those so-called geniuses to the ground and rubbing them with his feet! Such potential was already indescribable with words like ¡®heaven-defying¡¯ and ¡®monster¡¯. Buddha Child! This must be the reincarnation of the Buddha Child! The current generation Buddha Child! This fellow, how could he let others live? ¡°Amitabha. You can go in peace now.¡± ¡°Ah? No¡ª! No! Give me a chance, give me¡­ Ahhh!¡± The moment the Immovable Wisdom King¡¯s Nine Words True Sun Technique was used, the Devil General did not even have the ability to resist. In his horror, he completely turned into ashes. This time, he could no longer repair himself. This was because Li Xuanxin¡¯s perfected cultivation technique had already surpassed the limits of the Bodhi Bead. It could not protect the Devil General anymore. (Killed Devil General Bone Corrosion. Merit +112,640.) After everything was settled, Li Xuanxin also obtained the two precious cultivation techniques of the Bodhi Temple. Perfect! Li Xuanxin¡¯s Essence Soul left the Bodhi Bead. ¡°This Bodhi Bead contains a dense Buddhist power. If I can refine the insight within, it should be enough for me to successfully break through to the Firmament Realm, right?¡± Letting out a sigh of relief, Li Xuanxin sat cross-legged and began to cultivate. The Bodhi Bead sensed the dense Buddhist power on Li Xuanxin¡¯s body. It floated in the air and emitted a peaceful light that slowly spread, causing the entire mountain to enter a supreme state of kindness. The beast that hunted its prey stopped moving¡­ The bandit who had ravaged the weak put away his saber¡­ The restlessness in the hearts of all living beings was inexplicably resolved. All the anger and hatred were appeased at this moment¡­ At the same time, on the other side, after Ji Tianlin left, he headed straight for the vicinity of Maple Leaf City. He wanted to supervise Fu Yun to prevent any changes. Li Xuanxin was right. The East County of the Shu State was Fu Yun¡¯s territory and there were spies everywhere. Even if his matter was not discovered by Fu Yun, who could guarantee that the experts sent by the Imperial Court would not be discovered? At that time, if this fellow fled, who could find him? In the nine states of the Great Zhou, every County Governor was around the Mountain Sea Realm. Once they fled, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack. Finding them again was as difficult as ascending to the heavens! Arriving near Maple Leaf City, Ji Tianlin sat cross-legged in the forest and slowly released his divine sense. As long as Fu Yun made any movements, he would notice immediately. Time passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, a month passed. On this day, he, who was sitting cross-legged and sensing Maple Leaf City with his divine sense, suddenly opened his eyes. With his high cultivation level, he could already sense that his surroundings were unusual. In the forest, it was deathly silent. Not even a bird cried. The snakes, insects, and ants retreated without a trace. The air was filled with a terrifying aura. It was cold, evil, and bloodthirsty. Ji Tianlin was vigilant and the Virtue Scripture in his body began to circulate. The Yin and Yang Qi circulated on the surface of his body. The top of his head was faintly discernible, forming a Taiji pattern that kept spinning, firmly protecting him. It also constantly absorbed the surrounding Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth to accumulate strength. ¡°Since you¡¯re already here, why hide? Come out.¡± With that, a shrill and ear-piercing laugh suddenly sounded in the forest. ¡°Tsk tsk tsk¡­ What a cultivation level. As expected of the second place on the Human Race¡¯s Talent Ranking, the genius of the Dao Sect!¡± Ji Tianlin¡¯s expression darkened. Li Xuanxin was right. In the entire East County, only Fu Yun could find out his identity and attack him. Even Li Xuanxin did not know his true identity! He had also imagined that when he investigated the siege of the demons, Fu Yun might know and notice his identity. However, he never expected that Fu Yun would actually be so daring as to directly attack him. At this moment, there was no need to interrogate. He already knew that Fu Yun was guilty. Unexpectedly, even an important member of the Imperial Court like the county County Governor had become a lackey of the Three Realms of Demons, Devils and Ghosts! How pathetic. In a moment, several figures had already surrounded Ji Tianlin. Among them were ghost spirits with long limbs and green bodies. They held ghastly sabers. There were also yaksha ghosts with black bodies. They had smoke-like lower bodies and upper bodies that looked like humans, as well as sharp ears, and steel forks¡­ There were all sorts of existences. However, this was not the main point, because demons and ghosts were like this. The important thing was their numbers and cultivation. A total of seventeen Ghost Generals! The lowest cultivation base was above 1,500 years, and the highest was even 2,100 years at the Mountain Sea Realm! There were actually so many Ghost Generals hidden in the East County of the Shu State. These were all demons left behind by the Three Realms¡¯ invasion a thousand years ago. If not for Fu Yun, who was the County Governor, protecting them, they would have long been discovered and wiped out by the Imperial Court! Ji Tianlin clenched his fists slightly. ¡°Fu Yun, you really deserve to die!¡± Chapter 39 - Breakthrough, One Thought Through Firmament Chapter 39 Breakthrough, One Thought Through Firmament ¡­ In the mountain stream, Li Xuanxin floated in the air, 90 feet above the ground. The golden wheel behind his head slowly spun. On the wheel, golden runes circulated and the words formed a radial pattern. The golden lotus flower blooming on the ground slowly condensed under Li Xuanxin¡¯s seat, as if it wanted to form a lotus throne that accentuated him. Suddenly, Li Xuanxin opened his eyes. Two bolts of lightning pierced through everything like sword light. Boom-! Two cracks that were a thousand meters long appeared on the mountain. Li Xuanxin took a deep breath and retracted his strength. He slowly landed on the ground. The Buddha Wheel behind him and the golden lotuses on the ground vanished. ¡°Is this the power of the Firmament Realm? I can fly and burrow into the ground, doing almost anything! It¡¯s indeed terrifying!¡± Li Xuanxin glanced at his Merit Golden Lotus. Li Xuanxin Race: Human Cultivation: 3,000 years (Firmament Realm) Cultivation Technique: Immovable Wisdom King Scripture (Perfected) Immovable Wisdom King Incantation (Perfected) Muscle Strengthening Scripture (Perfected) Tathagata Divine Palm (81st level / 108th level) Water Floating Technique (Perfected) Bodhi Scripture (Uncultivated) Thousand-Hand Buddha (Uncultivated) Buddhist Light Escape Technique (Uncultivated) Merit Points: 174,216 ¡°Eh? There¡¯s actually the Buddhist Light Escape Technique in this Bodhi Bead.¡± Li Xuanxin was overjoyed. Although the Buddhist Sect had two top-notch movement techniques, one was the Water Floating Technique and the other was the Buddhist Light Escape Technique, the latter was definitely superior. This was because the Water Floating Technique was the same as the Dao Sect¡¯s Six Armor Divine Movement, Grand Unity Divine Steps, Earth Shrinking Technique, and other movement techniques. They all used pure acceleration as the foundation and only had 81 levels to master. The Buddhist Light Escape Technique was different. It had 108 levels. Like the Dao Sect¡¯s Yin-Yang Escape, not only was it fast, but it could also pass through array formations and teleport short distances. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to receive an unexpected surprise.¡± Li Xuanxin smiled and added the merit points to the Tathagata Divine Palm. He had already obtained the cultivation technique of the Bodhi Temple. There was no need to be in a hurry to cultivate it. He had to cultivate the Tathagata Divine Palm to perfection first. This way, he would have the strongest cultivation technique of both the Zen Sect and the Tantra Sect. Be it long-range spell attacks or melee physical attacks, it was all very easy to utilize. Perfect! The Merit Golden Lotus quickly began to spin. (170,000 merit points have been spent. The Tathagata Divine Palm has been raised to the 91st level.) ¡°91st level, almost at the 108th level. Continue collecting merit.¡± Li Xuanxin was about to leave when she suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of Maple Leaf City. After breaking through to the Firmament Realm, Li Xuanxin¡¯s various abilities became even more outstanding. His Heavenly Eye allowed him to vaguely see things thousands of kilometers away. If he was at the Mountain Sea Realm, he would definitely not be able to do this. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Fu Yun to find so many super experts. Ji Tianlin is in danger.¡± Ji Tianlin was a good person. Moreover, if not for him, he would not have obtained so many good things. By secretly helping, he could resolve this karma. Two hours later, outside Maple Leaf City, a huge mountain collapsed! Dozens of kilometers away from the mountain, many cultivators gathered. Seeing this scene, they could not help but tremble in fear. ¡°What a terrifying battle. It lasted for more than half a day and finally collapsed a mountain! This is probably a battle above the River Realm. Furthermore, there¡¯s more than one person.¡± ¡°Not only that, this is a level that only experts around the Mountain Sea Realm can reach!¡± ¡°Who is fighting? It actually caused such a huge commotion.¡± The onlookers were only shocked, but Ji Tianlin, who was on the mountain, was already dejected. He hid behind a huge rock and tried his best to maintain his aura. He did not want to be overly chaotic lest he was discovered. Seventeen Ghost Generals! A total of seventeen Ghost Generals joined forces to attack him! They were all experts above the River Realm. Furthermore, they were not the ordinary early-stage or late-stage of the River Realm. There were even a few Mountain Sea Realm cultivators. The strongest two or three were already extremely close to him. After resisting with all his might, he killed six of them. However, these six were the weakest among the seventeen Ghost Generals. The remaining eleven were the most troublesome. At this moment, his body was already stained red with blood and he had little strength left. If this continued, he would probably die completely before long. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I, the Second Prince of the Great Zhou, would die here. How ironic!¡± Ji Tianlin mocked himself. If he had known, he would have listened to Li Xuanxin from the beginning. Forget it, it was all fate. Since it was destined, he could not escape. This was the Dao of nature. Everything would follow its natural course. He looked outside. These Ghost Generals had come prepared. A layer of array formation had already been set up outside the foot of the mountain. The Six Armor Divine Movement Technique could not allow one to cross the array formation unless it was the stronger Yin-Yang Escape Technique of the Dao Sect, the Earth Escape Technique¡­ or the Buddhist Light Escape Technique of the Buddhist Sect. Apart from that, he could only forcefully shatter the array formation. Of course, with his current cultivation level, he definitely did not have that standard. Unless one was a Firmament Realm expert, they would definitely be unable to shatter the array formation. Since he could not escape, he could only change his target-kill more demons. ¡°I am the prince of Great Zhou. Even if I die, I have to do my best for the people of Great Zhou! Killing demons and devils and protecting Great Zhou is my duty!¡± Ji Tianlin took a deep breath and condensed the last of his strength to use the Dao Sect¡¯s ultimate technique, the Immeasurable Sword. A sword light pierced through the huge rock like a stream, piercing straight at one of the Ghost Generals. That Ghost General had a cultivation level of more than 2,000 years. It was extremely profound. However, facing the 2,600-year-cultivation Ji Tianlin and the supreme technique of the Dao Sect, the Immeasurable Sword, he still could not withstand it. His Essence Soul was pierced by Ji Tianlin¡¯s sword! ¡°Ah !¡± He screamed as his Essence Soul dissipated. However, before he died, he used his last bit of strength to strike Ji Tianlin¡¯s chest. Ji Tianlin, whose strength had already reached the limit, could not even withstand the impact. He was sent flying. A black ghost claw mark appeared on his chest, emitting a corrosive sound. ¡°Pfft-!¡± Taking advantage of the fact that Ji Tianlin was sent flying, the remaining ten Ghost Generals all unleashed their strongest strength to suppress him! While unconscious, Ji Tianlin smiled. At least, he had killed another Ghost General before he died. It was a gain. Unfortunately, he could not see his father and mother, and he could not listen to his master¡¯s teachings anymore. There was also the West Shu¡¯s Sacred Monk that he had never seen before. What a pity! The ten Ghost Generals gathered their strength and used their strongest move. Against them, not to mention the unconscious Ji Tianlin, even the peak-stage Ji Tianlin would not dare to face it head-on. Ji Tianlin was definitely going to die! Boom-! With a shocking explosion, the originally shattered mountain stirred up another huge mushroom cloud. Dust and smoke rose in all directions, and the shock wave spread in all directions, causing sand and stones to fly everywhere! If not for the array formation firmly sealing it, the shock wave could even spread more than ten kilometers away. The cultivators outside all trembled. ¡°So strong!¡± ¡°With this attack, I¡¯m afraid someone will die again.¡± ¡­ In the array formation, the ten Ghost Generals were overjoyed. They had finally killed Ji Tianlin. ¡°It¡¯s not easy. It took a total of seven Ghost Generals to kill a prince of Great Zhou. The younger generation of the Great Zhou Dynasty is actually so powerful.¡± ¡°He¡¯s the prince of Great Zhou after all and is also second on the Great Zhou Talent Ranking. If it were anyone else, they would definitely not be so powerful.¡± ¡°No matter what, if he¡¯s dead, the Imperial Court will send people over. We can increase our forces again. We can quickly make up for the missing Ghost Generals.¡± However, when the dust gradually dissipated, one of the Ghost Generals inadvertently glanced at it and suddenly could not help but exclaim, ¡°No! Something is wrong! There¡¯s someone in the dust!¡± Chapter 40 - Sacred Monk, Meeting the Sacred Monk Again Chapter 40 Sacred Monk, Meeting the Sacred Monk Again This sudden sentence instantly shocked all the Ghost Generals present. The atmosphere became tense again. ¡°How did he enter? We clearly set up an array formation. It¡¯s impossible for anyone to enter from the outside!¡± Just as he finished speaking, the array formation in the sky suddenly cracked. The Ghost Generals looked over at the spot where the glass had shattered. Their crimson eyes could not help but flicker. There was a hole in the seal! It was forcefully blasted out a hole! This person¡¯s cultivation was at least at the Firmament Realm! Not long after, the dust settled. When the Ghost General saw the other party¡¯s face clearly, he completely collapsed. He wore a bamboo hat and a white monk robe. The humans might not know what this figure meant. However, to them, who had been hiding and had been harmed for a year, this figure was simply a nightmare! No, calling him a nightmare was an insult! He was the apocalypse! Wherever he appeared, there would be demons and ghosts. He had to retreat! The place he appeared was a forbidden zone for demons and ghosts! Among the three races, there was a rumor. ¡®When you see a monk in a white robe, all your resistance is futile. Concentrate all your strength on your movement technique and run as far as you can.¡¯ ¡®If you can¡¯t escape, congratulations. What awaits you is your soul dissipating!¡¯ ¡°It¡¯s him! It¡¯s him! During this period of time, he is the bald monk who has been wreaking havoc in West Shu¡¯s East County, harming the three races!¡± ¡°Run! We¡¯re not his match!¡± In a daze, Ji Tianlin forced himself to open his eyes when he heard this voice. He knew that it was the Sacred Monk he had dreamed of seeing. Unfortunately, the Ghost General¡¯s palm had Yin Qi, as if poison had invaded. He was too dizzy and his eyelids were too weak. He could only open them slightly and see a white figure¡¯s back. Then, the other party¡¯s body shone brightly, illuminating everything. There was no other color in the world. As for Ji Tianlin, he could not hold on anymore and fainted. The moment he fainted, he could not help but be puzzled. ¡®Why do I feel that his back looks like Master Xuanxin?¡¯ ¡®Looks like I¡¯m really tired. I actually had such a thought.¡¯ How could it be Master Xuanxin? He was only a little monk from Spirit Platform Temple! He was only in his twenties now, right? To say that he was the West Shu Sacred Monk, hehe, Ji Tianlin felt that he was a madman! The Ghost Generals scattered like fleeing rabbits. Their speed was hair-raising. Two of the Ghost Generals even collided because of their speed. The power on their bodies surged, causing the two ghosts to feel dizzy. However, be it them or the other Ghost Generals who had already fled, the moment Li Xuanxin arrived, their outcome was already determined. Once the Immovable Wisdom King Incantation was used, who could compete? ¡°Come! Soldier! Fight! Group! Gather! Formation! Advance! Forward! Charge!¡± The Immovable Wisdom King Dharma idol rose from the ground. Buddhist light shone in all directions. Like a vast sun dispelling the night, it mercilessly destroyed all the surrounding demons! After a few heart-wrenching screams, the ten Ghost Generals were completely wiped out! Instant kill! The huge Immovable Wisdom King Dharma idol shattered their barrier. The powerful impact even sent the clouds in the sky flying The cultivators more than ten kilometers away could not help but shiver when they heard that scream! When they saw the barrier shatter and violent winds surge in all directions, they could not help but be stunned. Even though they were so far away, the wind still blew at their clothes. Some with weaker cultivation levels could not even stand steadily. ¡°That¡­ that¡¯s the Sacred Monk?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the Sacred Monk! He¡¯s here!¡± ¡°Oh my god, that golden Immovable Wisdom King Dharma idol is at least ten thousand feet tall!¡± ¡°This Buddhist faction is really going to prosper!¡± Li Xuanxin killed all the Ghost Generals with one move. The Merit Golden Lotus flickered. ¡°Expiated Ghost General Giant Strength. Merit +57,000.¡± ¡°Expiated Ghost General Volmordor. Merit +34,896.¡± ¡°Expiated Ghost General Falling Rain. Merit +111,532.¡± ¡°Expiated Ghost General¡­¡± A series of merit points added up to hundreds of thousands, making Li Xuanxin feel relieved. Ghost Generals were the best. Killing a Ghost General was the same as killing countless ghosts. The only pity was that there were too few Ghost Generals. Previously, these Ghost Generals had been beaten by him until they did not dare to come out. Now that they were sent by Fu Yun to besiege Ji Tianlin, they were probably the last batch of Ghost Generals. Now that they were all killed by him, there would probably be no more Ghost Generals in the West Shu¡¯s East County. Perhaps it was time to leave West Shu and go to Shaolin to send Old Monk Xing Yun¡¯s ashes back. Li Xuanxin looked down at Ji Tianlin. This fellow was affected by Yin Qi. If he ignored it, it might affect his cultivation in the future. ¡°Forget it. Since I took your benefits, I¡¯ll be a good person until the end.¡± With that, Li Xuanxin flicked her finger and a golden light entered Ji Tianlin¡¯s body, helping him quickly clear the Yin Qi in his body. At this moment, Li Xuanxin sensed some aura in the distance and was flying over quickly. He did not stay any longer and turned around to instantly disappear. Not long after Li Xuanxin left, several figures arrived. ¡°It¡¯s the Second Prince!¡± Someone among them could not help but shout. The others immediately began to land. The person in the lead was about forty or fifty years old. He wore an official robe that was embroidered with golden pythons! According to the rules of the Great Zhou, only the Nine State Governors could embroider a golden python! This was a State Governor! Shu State¡¯s Governor! An important member of the Imperial Court! He immediately picked Ji Tianlin up and injected a stream of True Qi into him to check. A moment later, he could not help but be shocked. ¡°So strong!¡± The people behind him could not help but say, ¡°Lord Governor, what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°The second prince was originally affected by the Ghost Race¡¯s Yin Qi and his meridians were damaged. However, the Sacred Monk who was here just now used the dense Buddhist power to eliminate all the Yin Qi in his body and repair his meridians to prevent him from being severely injured. This way, his talent can be preserved and not decrease.¡± After saying this, he could not help but sigh. ¡°He¡¯s really a peerless monk. Such methods are impossible without thousands of years of cultivation.¡± ¡°He is at least at the Firmament Realm, and he is a powerful existence at the middle or late stage of the Firmament Realm. Otherwise, it is impossible for him to be so powerful!¡± ¡°In front of him, even I am as tiny as an ant.¡± ¡°Gasp!¡± Hearing this, the people behind him could not help but shiver. Wasn¡¯t this too terrifying? Thousands of years of deep cultivation, late-stage of the Firmament Realm! One had to know that the most powerful person they had ever seen in their lives was the State Governor in front of them. He was an existence at the early-stage of the Firmament Realm with three thousand years of cultivation. Even so, in everyone¡¯s minds, he was already like a deity. Now, the State Governor actually said that even he was only a tiny ant in front of the other party. How strong was the other party?
