Chapter 1812 (Raw 1824): Fake Monk and Real Monk
With a flash, Xiao Chen landed beside the body of Si Hongyi, a Heavenly Eagle Castle core disciple.
He also found a secret manual on Si Hongyi’s body, the Celestial Demon Tyrannical Body Art.
Xiao Chen took a quick look. This was a physical body Cultivation Technique. Its cultivation was extremely tyrannical and was comprehended from the now-extinct Celestial Demons.
This Cultivation Technique could consume all living things to strengthen the physical body. However, the scariest part was that when circulating this Demonic Dao Cultivation Technique, one could continuously absorb power from everything in the world.
When cultivated to a high level, it allowed one to actually consume a star. This was rather flabbergasting to read.
The more shocking thing for Xiao Chen was that when Si Hongyi talked about eating him, he had actually been serious.
The Celestial Demon Tyrannical Body Art had detailed records of consuming a human, perfectly absorbing and refining the other party’s corpse.
This felt somewhat bone-chilling, making his hand break out in a cold sweat.
Xiao Chen calmed down and read carefully, slowly figuring out something different.
This firmed up Xiao Chen’s earlier thoughts that the Demonic Dao had been deviating increasingly further now. It had already completely deviated from the true meaning of the Demonic Dao.
Using the Celestial Demon Tyrannical Body Art as an example, the focus of comprehension should be on the word “tyrannical.”
It meant standing independently of the world and using one’s tyrannical air to subdue everything in the world for one’s use.
It should not focus on wresting strength from others to enhance one’s own body.
The world moved in endless cycles. If one forcefully exploited like this, then when the Heavenly Dao was gone and everything in the world was gone, the one that would be destroyed in the end would be one’s self.
However, in the present, it was changed beyond recognition. How could one take such a shortcut? How could one use it fearlessly to make one’s self stronger and put it to proper use?
Xiao Chen shook his head. Then, he removed Si Hongyi’s storage ring and checked the battle in the sky.
The Demon Blood Vulture already chased the Heavenly Thunder Eagle to a distant place, dominating it, and should be able to end the battle soon.
Xiao Chen looked around, and his gaze fell on Qing Ziyu’s Ghost Dragon Pennant.
Who knew how many resentful souls were absorbed and innocent lives taken in the refinement of this ghost pennant?
Setting aside killing people, to think that it did not even let them off after death, making them suffer eternal torment.
Xiao Chen pondered and took out a Golden Letter, the Venerable Xuan Bei’s gift to him.
This was the highest Honorary Gift of the Buddhist sects. The monks of the Buddhist sects would give some face to the holder of a Golden Letter.
Some scriptures were recorded on the Golden Letter. After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen prepared to purify the resentful souls in the Ghost Dragon Pennant.
However, he did not know the scriptures for purification. He could only take a stab at it and hope for the best, so he gave the scriptures on the Golden Letter a try.
A swastika appeared on Xiao Chen’s forehead as he chanted the scriptures, using his Buddha-like heart to purify the souls of the dead that died with resentment in the Ghost Dragon Pennant.
As the scriptures turned into beams of Buddhist light and entered the Ghost Dragon Pennant, the resentful souls, which were howling in rage, all quieted down.
Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. It’s effective.
Riding the momentum, he took out the śarīra that the Maheśvara Buddha left behind when he passed away. With the support of the śarīra, the process of purification became several times more effective.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Countless beams of golden light flew out from the Ghost Dragon Pennant, looking like fireworks when they appeared in the sky.
The peaceful and quiet atmosphere gave off an aura with a trace of beauty. In the next moment, the fireworks bloomed as all the resentful souls were purified.
Xiao Chen spent an hour to complete all this.
Then, ignoring the sweat on his forehead, he picked up the demonic ax on the ground, gently leaped up, landed on the returned Demon Blood Vulture’s back, and left right away.
This was because someone was coming.
Furthermore, there were several people. Xiao Chen’s actions were too eye-catching in this place where demonic clouds covered the sky and the sun.
It would be impossible not to attract attention.
Xiao Chen wiped his sweat off as he rode the Demon Blood Vulture. He felt that his Buddhist nature had improved invisibly.
This was a rather pleasant surprise. He had just made a casual attempt and had not hoped to gain anything.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
After Xiao Chen left, two people with extremely horrifying auras landed on the ground at the same time.
When these two saw Si Hongyi’s and Qing Ziyu’s corpses on the ground, one of them frowned heavily and appeared very gloomy.
“Si Shengjie, your younger brother really died a miserable death. The moment his forehead was pierced, the attacker extinguished his lifeforce, not leaving him any opportunity to survive,” a man wearing loose gray robes said softly with a smile as he looked at the gloomy person.
“Qiao Jiangsheng, don’t mock me. As the strongest core disciple of the Fantasy Cloud Sect, you will definitely be punished by your sect since your junior brother died and his Ghost Dragon Pennant became useless.”
These two were the strongest core disciples of the Fantasy Cloud Sect and the Heavenly Eagle Castle. They originally came here for experiential training and treasure hunting.
However, when the two saw the Buddhist light, they felt that something was wrong, so they rushed over.
Unexpectedly, they saw such a scene. The three Demonic Dao sects had not had a core disciple die such a miserable death for many years already.
“My junior brother was pretty strong, and he had the Ghost Dragon Pennant to protect him. Normally, even if he could not defeat his opponent, he should still have been able to flee or send out a rescue signal. It is truly unbelievable that he died such a miserable death.”
The Fantasy Cloud Sect’s Qiao Jiangsheng stopped bickering with Si Shengjie and started to analyze the situation.
Si Shengjie said sullenly, “I heard about what those two have been doing. With the nightless mysterious phenomenon of Myriad Star Mountain approaching, many pirates and cultivators from other places are coming here. Recently, those two were ambushing these pirates and foreign cultivators. They must have met a strong opponent.”
Qiao Jiangsheng’s eyes darted about as he said coldly, “It is also possible that the people of the Blood Demon Palace did it. Then, they created a false Buddhist light to misdirect us.”
The Blood Demon Palace was the most mysterious of the three Demonic Dao sects. Its disciples were particularly unconventional, and its relationship with the other two Demonic Dao sects was not particularly harmonious.
Si Shengjie immediately rejected this possibility. “That is impossible. That Buddhist light was very pure, and the Buddhist might was strong and gentle. How could a Demonic Dao cultivator possibly fake that?”
Qiao Jiangsheng showed a contemplative gaze as he said, “Then, it looks like it is the work of an expert of the Righteous Dao’s Buddhist sects. The Starlight Sea Region has been becoming increasingly chaotic in recent times. No Buddhist sect expert has appeared here for a long time already. To think that a Buddhist sect expert came when the nightless mysterious phenomenon is imminent! Something major is going to happen.”
“No matter who it is, I will make him pay in blood for killing my brother!”
Si Shengjie picked up Si Hongyi’s corpse. Then, he turned into a beam of demonic light speeding into the distance.
Qiao Jiangsheng looked at Si Shengjie’s departing figure and revealed a meaningful smile. “Could this fellow be thinking of eating his own younger brother’s physical body and is running so quickly because of that?”
In reality, the Demonic Dao sects did not care too much about camaraderie.
Even the Righteous Dao sects had disciples who killed fellow disciples, what more the Demonic Dao sects? What these two were more concerned about was this mysterious Buddhist sect expert.
------
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen spent about a month or so wandering around this Myriad Star Mountain.
He had gained some understanding of the one hundred thousand great peaks.
According to rumors, there had once been an extremely strong Rank 6 Demonic Dao sect in the Myriad Star Mountain, the Myriad Holy Temple, which was even stronger than the Blood Demon Palace, the Fantasy Cloud Sect, and the Heavenly Eagle Castle added together.
It had possessed the strength of a Rank 7 Demonic Dao sect. Given time to develop, it would have eventually advanced to a Rank 7 sect, becoming an existence second only to a Holy Land. After all, it occupied this prosperous land that was the Myriad Star Mountain.
Unfortunately, for some reason, the sect was annihilated at its peak.
No one knew what calamity befell it. All its experts had died.
If not for some of this sect’s Remnants and Demonic Dao Tools occasionally appearing in the one hundred thousand great peaks, proving that this sect once existed, it would just be some baseless rumor.
This information shocked Xiao Chen.
To think that such a large sect had once been established on the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s body.
In the end, the sect was completely destroyed for some reason. This was simply strange.
Except for the people of the Blood Demon Palace, Xiao Chen met many Demonic Dao sect disciples in Myriad Star Mountain.
Aside from these people, there were also many strong pirates and foreign cultivators of unknown origins.
Xiao Chen learned from the disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Castle and the Fantasy Cloud Sect that the two sects were searching for a Buddhist sect expert.
This made Xiao Chen more cautious in his actions. He did not dare to expose any Martial Techniques or Cultivation Techniques related to Buddhism.
Even so, Dreamlike Mundane World still improved significantly.
Developed from the Mahāmāyā Abstinence Violation Saber Technique, Dreamlike Mundane World had three moves and nine stances, complicating the simple. Its might was even stronger than Breaking the Mundane’s.
Now, Xiao Chen could execute it very smoothly, no longer as shaky as he initially had been.
On this day, Xiao Chen met many Demonic Dao sect disciples, all heading in a particular direction.
Xiao Chen stopped one person and asked about it.
Since his essence blood and soul had merged with the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation, he could successfully pass himself off as a Demonic Dao cultivator.
“This brother, what happened? Why are the people of the two Demonic Dao sects heading in the same direction?”
That Fantasy Cloud Sect disciple was initially upset. When he saw Xiao Chen’s weak strength, he wanted to brush him off.
However, after Xiao Chen casually leaked out some of his aura, that Fantasy Cloud Sect disciple trembled and did not dare to repeat what he did. He smiled and explained, “Senior Brother Qiao sent orders. The baldy that killed Senior Brother Qing has been found. He told us to rush over and not let that baldy run. The people of the Heavenly Eagle Castle probably received the news as well.”
After explaining, that Fantasy Cloud Sect disciple raced off. However, he had not gone into detail about the situation.
Xiao Chen showed shock on his face. The culprit was just right before that person. Who was that person talking about?
