One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 871 Digestion
The banquet at Huaguo Mountain lasted all night, from dawn till dusk, with non-stop revelry, endless drinks, and countless delicacies.

The banquet did not end until the sun rose.

However, the gods and demons who attended the banquet did not rest. A mere night of revelry was not worth their rest, and it was not even as tiring as a single sparring match.

If the war hadn't been completely over, according to the traditions of the demon race in the world of Legend of Sword and Fairy, celebrating the victory of a great battle should involve a seven-day, seven-night celebration, drinking an entire wine spring dry before finally stopping.

For now, this is just a simple celebration; the real festivities will begin when the war is truly over.

After the banquet, Tianzhen Peak returned to the tranquil embrace of the mountains and forests, with only the chirping of insects and birds, and the sound of wind and rustling leaves remaining.

Everyone returned to their daily work and tasks.

Especially Nezha and Zhu Bajie,
The star officials they trained together with Kang Jinlongnu perfectly completed their mission, severely injuring the Buddha and creating an opportunity for Maitreya Buddha.

Hu Xiuwu praised their work highly and gave Nezha and Zhu Bajie ten bushels of spirit pills. The star officials also received their own rewards.

Hu Xiuwu hoped that they would continue to hone the Zhou Tian Star Formation, perfecting it to perfection, so that they could achieve greater results in their battles against the Heavenly Court.

Kang Jinlongnu and Kang Jin Suozi Jia returned to Hu Xiuwu's hands. However, with this great victory, Nezha was able to persuade Jinzha and Muzha to release them from Lingzhu Cave Heaven to assist Nezha and teach the star officials to continue practicing the Zhou Tian Xing Chen Da Zhen (Great Array of the Heavenly Stars).

After handing over the mundane affairs of Huaguo Mountain to Zizhu'er, Hu Xiuwu took the Chunzi Sword, retrieved the Innate Demon Refining Tower, put on the Kangjin Chain Mail, and entered the Water Curtain Cave of the inner Huaguo Mountain for a new round of secluded cultivation to digest what he had gained from the spiritual mountain and transform it into his own power.

······
"Let me see what we should do first."

Hu Xiuwu first examined the Tathagata's golden body and the Buddha's enlightenment status within the Innate Demon Refining Tower.

The Buddha's path and enlightenment exist between existence and non-existence; they are a concept that is both illusory and real. They cannot be contained by goldware, nor by wooden utensils, nor by water, nor by fire, nor by the earth.

It does not exist within the Five Elements, nor does it have any true trace within or outside the Three Realms.

You cannot touch it with your hand, nor can your primordial spirit perceive it. Only by relying on wisdom to understand and absorb the Dao Fruit can you grasp the rules and power within it.

If it weren't for the Yin and Yang Qi within the Innate Demon Refining Tower, Hu Xiuwu wouldn't know what method to use to store it.

However, after checking, Hu Xiuwu found that the Tathagata's golden body and the Dao fruit were well stored in the Innate Demon Refining Tower, so he had to deal with the more urgent matter first.

The mutations of the Kangjin Chainmail and the Chunzi Divine Sword.

When Hu Xiuwu fought with the Buddha, both his Kangjin Chain Mail and Chunzi Divine Sword were stained with a lot of Buddha's blood. The Kangjin Chain Mail was also forged by the Buddha's Great Sun True Fire, which cracked and became soaked in Buddha's blood.

The inside of the Kangjin Chainmail is stained with the blood of the Buddha. If it is not dealt with quickly, the Kangjin Chainmail will turn into a Buddhist treasure armor, and the Kangjin Dragon Girl who is inhabited by the armor will be affected.

Hu Xiuwu and Kang Jinlongnu will work together to reforge the Kang Jin Chainmail and remove the lingering influence of the Buddha's blood, retaining only the purest power.

To achieve this, Hu Xiuwu would need to add some extra materials.

Hu Xiuwu took out several golden feathers from the Innate Demon Refining Tower. Each feather seemed to be flowing with liquid gold and radiated a scorching heat. With a gentle sweep across the lush tree, it could ignite the moisture-filled trunk.

Those golden feathers were the feathers of Princess Yongning, the feathers of the last golden crow in the Black Myth world, containing the essence of the great sun.

Hu Xiuwu intended to use Yongning Ji Lingyu as a medium to retain the power of the Great Sun True Fire, and then clear away the lingering resentment left by the Buddha. The Kangjin Chainmail shrank and floated in Hu Xiuwu's palm.

With a flame rising in his palm, Hu Xiuwu threw the feather into the flame, refining it into the essence of the Great Sun True Fire. The essence of the Great Sun True Fire transformed into streams of golden liquid, which flowed into the Kangjin Chainmail.

With the infusion of the Great Sun True Fire and the assistance of the Golden Dragon Maiden, the Red Lotus Karmic Fire Seed within the armor slowly transformed into the Great Sun True Fire, becoming even more powerful and capable of threatening even a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The form of the Kangjin Chainmail has also changed. A breastplate protrudes from the chest of the armor and forms a sun wheel shape. Golden feather and fire patterns are attached to the surface of the silver mountain-patterned armor. With silver armor and gold patterns, the armor looks more gorgeous and solemn.

The effects of the Great Sun True Fire have been eliminated, and Hu Xiuwu's next task is to deal with the lingering resentment left in the Buddha's blood.

To clear away the lingering resentment of the Buddha, Hu Xiuwu had something more suitable in his hands.

What tool could be more suitable for clearing away the Buddha's lingering attachments than the Buddha's enlightenment?

Fight poison with poison, using the spirit and will of Buddha to destroy the lingering resentment of Buddha.

The Innate Demon Refining Tower rose up, and the four tower doors opened. Hu Xiuwu sent the Kangjin Chainmail into the tower.

To be honest, Hu Xiuwu really didn't dare to take the Buddha's Dao Fruit out of the Innate Demon Refining Tower, for fear that he might accidentally let the Dao Fruit escape, allowing a Great Luo Golden Immortal to be reborn in its body.

For a Great Luo Golden Immortal, any vigilance is worthwhile; if one relaxes even for a moment, the Great Luo Golden Immortal may be able to be reborn by possessing another's body.

When Kang Jin Suozi Jia entered the tower, it was like entering a furnace. In the Linglong Realm, it was tempered by the Yin and Yang Qi and then irradiated by the Dao Fruit at the center of the Yin and Yang Qi.

The Buddha's lingering remnant sensed the aura of the Dao Fruit and subconsciously moved closer to it, while the Kangjin Chain Armor was locked in place by the Yin and Yang Qi.

The armor remained in place, while the lingering spirit journeyed towards the Dao.

Using the attraction of the Buddha's enlightenment to the Buddha's lingering resentment, Hu Xiuwu cleared the Buddha's lingering resentment from the Kangjin Chainmail.

In the Water Curtain Cave of Li Huaguo Mountain,
The Innate Demon Refining Tower spun around and suddenly stopped. The tower door opened, and silver light and golden patterns shot out from the Innate Demon Refining Tower, landing right in Hu Xiuwu's palm.

After the silver light and gold patterns settled, they transformed into a miniature Kangjin chainmail in Hu Xiuwu's palm.

The armor floated in his palm, from which a lithe silver dragon flew out, its five claws gripping the armor plates, its body coiled around the golden chainmail.

Kang Jinlong raised her head and conveyed the current situation of Kang Jin Chainmail to Hu Xiuwu.

After the Buddha's lingering resentment was cleared away, Kangjin Chainmail gained a new supernatural power.

Kang Jinlongnu did not understand the principle behind this supernatural power, but she was able to make Kang Jin Chainmail use it.

Just like a phone owner who doesn't understand how the phone's chip works, it doesn't prevent him from using the phone skillfully.

The new supernatural power that Kang Jin Chain Armor obtained is called the Law of Cause and Effect: This Moment and That Moment, which is the same supernatural power that the Buddha once used.

You may be attacked at this moment, but you can meet the conditions to dodge the attack in the next moment and be exempt from this attack.
