Chapter 46 – Two Past Events

The small waist of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom stood up and sat up from the soft collapse, the several pounds of flavor on her breasts trembling for a while because of this action.

Li Miaozhen, Asura, and other transcendent powerhouses also rose from the edge of the case.

The silver-haired demon girl took a big step toward the outside, Li Miaozhen and others caught up, Zhao Shou originally wanted to show the operation of the Confucian cultivator, but he was really hurt too much, so he gave up the intention of showing the operation……

Honestly following behind the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox.

The night sky was like a wash, the full moon hung in the dome of the sky, and stars sprinkled the night.

Ten Thousand Demon City fell into slumber in the night, the demon race is a very regular group of people who pay attention to the routine of work and rest, not as much as the human beings who have so many tricks, and can have fun until the middle of the night, and drink cheerfully until the end of the day.

The crowd soon arrived at the Sealed Tower, the doors of which were open and bright candlelight reflected out.

Xu Qi’an and Shenshu were sitting opposite each other in the tower and talking, and when they saw the crowd coming over, both of them looked over at the same time, one beckoning with a smile on his face and the other nodding with an ancient face.

Zhao Shou and the others stepped into the Sealed Tower and solemnly bowed to the half-step Martial God.

Only the Nine Tailed Fox still looked like a wild girl with no rules and no rules, like a smoky-eyed and unruly wild girl.

After everyone was seated, Shenshu slowly said:

“I know you have a lot of things you want to ask me, and I’m going to tell you everything about me, as it is.”

The crowd’s spirits were lifted.

Shinshu didn’t tell immediately, recalling the past for a few moments, before speaking about himself in a slow tone.

“More than five hundred years ago, the Buddha broke free of some of the seals and gained the freedom to penetrate some power outward. In order to break the confinement of the Confucian Sage as soon as possible, painstaking thought finally led Him to come up with a solution.

“That is to tear apart a part of one’s own soul and infuse one’s emotions inside that part of one’s soul. And then integrating it into the body of the Shura King, who was already nearly spiritless at that time, with only a remnant of his soul left inside his body to be extinguished. This part of the Buddha’s soul merged with the remnant soul of the Shura King and became a brand new soul.

“This is me. I possess part of the Buddha’s soul and memories, as well as the memories and soul of the Shura King, and often cannot tell whether I am the Shura King or the Buddha.”

The expressions of the multitude of Transcendents in the tower varied.

I see, this and my speculation almost match, Shenshu really is the Buddha’s “other side”, and there is no external superlative to take over the Buddha’s matter, well, the Buddha as a superlative, where is to say that take over can be taken over ……… . Xu Qi’an’s heart suddenly realized.

He then looked at Asuro and Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, and realized that the “siblings” had the same complex expression.

Not to mention that you yourself can t tell the difference, your son and daughter can t tell whether their dad is the Shura King or the Buddha ………. Xu Qi’an silently spat in his heart.

“The Buddha agreed with me that as long as I help to transform the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, convert the Southern Demon to the Buddha Sect, and help Him gather His Qi and break free of the seal, He will completely cut off His connection with me and return me to a free body.

“He injected emotions into my soul to deepen my realization that I was a Buddha, just because He was afraid I would back out. I promised Him that after my cultivation was complete, I would leave Aranta and travel to the southern border.”

Shenshu narrated a past event that was sealed in history.

“The first time I saw her was in August, the hottest summer in the southern border. Three hundred miles west of the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain, there is a Twin Lake, the water is crystal clear, the lake grows a kind of spiritual flower called “Twin”, it is said that eating it can give birth to twin children.

“I went all the way south from the Western Region, passing by the Twin Lakes, and when I was drinking and resting by the lakeside, the surface of the water suddenly erupted in waves, and she came out of the water naked, with the sun shining brightly, and her white body hanging with water droplets, refracting a seven-colored halo of light, and behind her were nine beautifully beckoning fox tails.

“When she saw me, she wasn’t shy at all; instead, she smiled and asked me: How long have you been peeking at your own master’s bath?”

At this time, you should steal the clothes she put on the shore and ask her to marry you, maybe she will think that you are a loyal and honest person and choose to marry you ………. When Xu Qi’an thought of this, she instinctively looked around and realized that Protector Yuan was not there, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

The fox spirit is really passionate and open ………. Xu Qi’an whirled around to look at the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox.

“What are you looking at!”

The Silver-haired Demoness and Li Miaozhen, at the same time, raised their willow eyebrows.

Xu Qi’an withdrew his gaze as Shenshu continued:

“She asked me if I was from the Western Region, and when I said yes, she changed her smiling demeanor and dealt me a hot hand. At that time, there was often friction between the Buddhist Sect and the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom in the Western Region, and the Buddhist Sect liked to first take in powerful demons as mounts.

“She said I was handsome and heroic-looking and that she wanted to take me as a male favorite.”

Promise her, master, you have to grasp the future ah ……… Xu Qi an flirted in his heart, and washed away the feeling of disappointment of that vicissitude.

Handsome and heroic? Zhao Shou and the others examined Shenshu’s features with questioning eyes, suspecting that Shenshu was bragging.

Even Asura, who was also a member of the Shura Clan, felt that Shenshu was boasting a bit too much.

The silver-haired demon girl faintly said:

“Our Nine-Tailed Sky Fox clan only likes strong and courageous men, unlike the human women, who only desire greasy-headed little white men.”

Powerful and brave men ……… Li Miaozhen glanced at Xu Qi an, and when she looked at the silver haired demon girl again, there was a touch of vigilance in her eyes.

“Later!” Xu Qi’an asked.

“Then I whacked her, and she was honest, saying that she was willing to take only one of my male favorites, and would never think twice about it.” Shenshu smiled, “I happened to be troubled at the time about how to break into the internal division of the Ten Thousand Demons. The demon race is extremely resistant to Buddhist monks, and even if my cultivation is strong and I can convince people with my strength, it’s hard to convince people with reason.”

“Then later, I stayed in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom as the male favorite of the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and spent the happiest tens of years of my life.”

As Shenshu spoke, he looked towards the Nine-tailed Skyfox, his tone gentle:

“In the thirtieth year, you were born.”

No, you are to enlighten them, not to be assimilated by them ah Master, you are not firm in your Buddhism ah But who does not love the fox spirit, people are beautiful, money, but also slutty, change me I can t hold ……… Xu Qi an heart, said:

“And because of that, that’s why you and the Buddha broke up?”

Shenshu shook his head and said in a deep voice:

“My mission was actually accomplished a long time ago, she hesitated for decades until her child was born, and she finally agreed to convert to the Buddha Sect and let the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom become a vassal of the Buddha Sect, as long as the Buddha Sect agreed to let the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom be autonomous.

“I gladly returned to the Buddha Sect and informed the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas of this matter, and the Buddha agreed, and then sent the Bodhisattvas and Rohan of Aramantha, as well as the Vajra, to enter the Land of Ten Thousand Demons.”

Speaking of this, his expression suddenly turned gloomy:

“She opened the door to welcome the Buddha Sect, but what she waited for was the slaughter of the Buddha Sect, the Buddha turned his back on bearing, He never wanted to return me to my free body, never wanted to spare the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, I was just His pawn in charge of probing the way.

“He will destroy the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom at the smallest possible cost and incorporate the qi of the Hundred Thousand Mountains into the Buddhist Sect.”

The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox pursed her lips, her face grim.

Zhao Shou recalled the records of the history books and said indistinctly:

“No wonder, the history books said that the Buddha Sect killed the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons in the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain, the demon race was defeated in fear, and then they immediately fought against the Buddha Sect in the Hundred Thousand Mountains in guerrilla resistance, and it took a whole armor before the war was completely quelled.

“The history is called the Koshi Swing Demon.”

If the demon race is on guard, gathering the strength of the country, the Buddha Sect wants to destroy the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, I’m afraid it’s not that difficult. At first it was a sneak attack that took care of the top forces of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, and most of the Demon Race was scattered in the Hundred Thousand Mountains wherever they were, and at that time, they didn’t react to it.

That’s why there was a subsequent One-Arm War.

The Demon Race that had lost its top power still resisted for an aeon, so one could imagine how strong the largest Demon Race group in the Nine States was back then.

Xu Qi’an frowned:

“I heard the Empress say that in the beginning, the Great Sun Ruler Dharma Image rose from within you, and that the Buddha can still control you?”

Shinshu nodded:

“This is His killer weapon, the hidden hand that He left behind when He separated me. At that time, I only sensed an uncontrollable force, but I did not know its nature, and the Buddha told me that it was an unbreakable link between me and Him, and that if I wanted to be free, I would have to remove this force.

“And the price is to help Him transform the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom and help Him get out of the trap.”

I see. …….. Xu Qi’an and the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox nodded indistinctly.

The latter asked:

“To this day, you are still able to fuse? What is going on with the state of the Buddha, He appears to be abnormal.”

She took Li Miaozhen’s previous doubts and asked about them.

The crowd of Transcendents lifted their spirits and listened patiently.

Shinshu frowned:

“As far as I can remember, the Buddha is a human being, and there should be no mistake about that, and although my memory only stays after He became a superlative, He is me, I am Him, and what I am myself, I know myself.”

Xu Qi’an pursued:

“Then why has He become what He is today?”

Shenshu shook his head slightly:

“I don’t know what has happened to Him in these five hundred years. But He’s even more frightening this way. There’s something, I don’t know if you’ve noticed.”

He looked to Xu Qi’an, “The Buddha can no longer be called a ‘living being’, His sanity is abnormal.”

It’s like a horrible monster with no feelings ………. Xu Qi’an nodded and mused:

“Could this be because it transferred most of its emotions to you?”

In the beginning, the Buddha transferred most of his emotions to Shenshu, deepening his realization that he was the Buddha, in order to prevent part of the Shura King’s memories from becoming dominant and causing this ‘doppelganger’ to lose control.

But is there really no price to pay for this?

Perhaps His state today is the price.

Is that why He wants to take this opportunity to accommodate the Divine Distinction and complete Himself?

At that moment, the Nine-tailed Skyfox looked at Xu Qi’an and said:

“Where’s the bear king?”

Xu Qi’an stretched out his palm, and golden light coalesced in the center of his palm, transforming into a small, exquisite and pocket-sized golden tower.

“It had suffered some injuries and was sleeping in the tower, I had already healed it with the Pharmacist Phantasm ……….”

As he spoke, Xu Qi’an’s face changed and his pupils contracted slightly.

“What’s going on?” The crowd asked.

“I seem to understand why the Buddha ate Fa Ji Bodhisattva.” Xu Qi’an took a deep breath, scanned the circle, and said in a deep voice:

“There’s a detail you’ve all noticed, He seems to be unable to perform the eight great dharmas outside of the Great Sun Ruler Dharma. He eats Fa Ji Bodhisattva, and what He really wants is the power of the Great Wisdom Dharma Phantasm, which He needs to stay awake and keep Himself from completely turning into a sanity-less monster ………”

The speculation was nuanced, yet reasonable and attached to their previous speculation.

“It’s a pity that Bodhisattva Faji only has a wisp of his residual soul left and can’t remember much.” Xu Qi’an looked toward Daoist Golden Lotus:

“This is something we still need to trouble the Taoist Master with, to finish mending the Bodhisattva Faji’s soul.”

Daoist Master Golden Lotus nodded in agreement.

“Master Shenshu’s head has been recaptured, then there is no reason for the Buddha to continue sleeping, He will likely retaliate against the Southern Border, and even the Great Bong, so we have to be on guard.” Zhao Shou said in a deep voice.

“This matter, I need to go back and find Wei Gong to discuss ………” Xu Qi’an pinched his brow.

The people chatted until they were profound, as Shenshu needed to recuperate and regain his strength, so they left one after another.

Zhao Shou and the others were not lightly injured and had wanted to stay in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom temporarily to recuperate for the night, but Xu Qi’an stood on the square outside the Sealed Tower and looked out into the night, saying:

“Go back to Daebong first, I have something to verify.”

After saying that, he offered the Floating Pagoda and signaled them to enter the pagoda to recuperate.

Seeing that he had no intention of explaining, Li Miaozhen and the others didn’t ask too many questions and leapt into the tower.

Bang!

The tower door closed, and Xu Qi’an scurried into the night sky like an arrow in an ear-piercing sonic boom, disappearing into the sky in a quasi instant.

From the Hundred Thousand Mountains to the capital, like a hundred thousand miles, Xu Qi’an only used one hour to return to the capital.

The majestic city sits on a vast expanse of land, lit with stars, and the closer you get to the palace, the denser the lights become.

At dusk, Huaiqing sent a message within the Tiandi Association informing them that he had repelled the Great Sorcerer’s attack, and that Kou Yangzhou, with the strength of a second-ranked martial artist, had beaten Duo’er Luohan so badly that he didn’t dare to enter the capital and fled back to the Western Region, and had then gone straight to the main battlefield to support Luo Yuheng and the others.

Regrettably, the Grand Sorcerer was too much of a chicken, and as soon as he saw the crude Second Grade Martial Artist killing, he immediately retreated with two Spirit Wisdom Masters.

In this battle, it was old senior Kou Yangzhou who took the mvp …….. Xu Qi’an was truly surprised when he heard the news.

He said to himself that Kou’s old-timer had finally risen to prominence.

Snapping ……. Xu Qi’an landed on the Eight Trigrams Platform, offering the Floating Pagoda and releasing Li Miaozhen Asura and the other Transcendents.

Then he led the crowd all the way down towards the ground floor of the Stargazer Building.

There were a total of three floors underneath the Stargazer Building, and the first floor housed ordinary prisoners, which had once turned into Zhong Li’s exclusive suite.

The bottom level holds the transcendentally powerful.

Sun Xuanji, under Xu Qi’an’s signal, opened a forbidden system and arrived at the lowest level.

Senior Sun lifted his foot and stepped on it, the clear light circular formation manifested, and there was an additional shirtless monkey in the formation.

The snow-white and long-haired Protector Yuan was a bit shy, he had gotten used to wearing human clothes, and it was hard to avoid being shy when his hairy jade body was exposed to a large audience.

Then, he quickly got into the swing of things, scrutinizing Sun Xuanji for a moment and reading his mind:

“You want to meet the Duo of Love?”

The Deity Luohan was the main force that captured Xu Qi’an when he was in Yongzhou, and was defeated by Luo Yuheng, and then later, at the cost of removing the Demon Sealing Nail, in exchange for a way out.

The Supervisor promised to keep him in the Stargazer for three years, and once the three years are over, he will be set free.

Xu Qi’an nodded and hmmmed.

Sun Xuanji led a group of Transcendents through the dark and dreary corridors, arriving outside an iron door at the end.

He first took out an octagonal copper mirror and embedded it in the octagonal groove of the iron door, which was like a 3d projector, projecting a complex formation.

Senior Sun fiddled and wrote formation patterns without changing his face, and after a dozen or so breaths, the locking tongues within the iron gate ‘clicked’ and popped open one after another.

With a slightly heavy ‘zap’ sound, he pushed open the heavy iron door.

It was pitch black inside the iron door, Sun Xuanji summoned an oil lamp with his teleportation technique, and the faint candlelight dispelled the darkness and brought about dimness.

On the pile of withered grass sat an old monk with white eyebrows hanging down on either side of his cheeks.

The withered old monk opened his eyes and looked mildly and calmly at the group of suddenly visiting powerhouses, his gaze slightly fixed on Asura and Xu Qi’an.

“For the two of you to be standing together, it seems that a lot has happened out there during the half year that the poor monk has been underground.”

The Deity Rohan faintly said.

Xu Qi’an nodded and said:

“A lot has indeed happened, would the Duo Love Rohan like to know.”

The old monk didn’t answer, with a casual look.

Xu Qi’an continued:

“But before that, there’s something this Ginko wants to ask you.”

The Way of the Sentient Lohan:

“What the hell!”

Xu Qi’an stared at him:

“Outside Yongzhou City, in the underground palace, that ancient corpse, did you kill it!”

……….

PS: Typos are corrected after the first shift. I went to the hospital today for a medical checkup, so I’m late with the update.
