The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

Chapter 79 Thunder God Helps Me!

Since these bald guys have chickened out, they should behave themselves from now on.

Zhang Tianlu directly instructed them to obediently extract the corpse beans.

If they disobey, kill them and collect them into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

The group of eminent monks remained silent, sitting on the ground, becoming Zhang Tianlu's puppets.

After dealing with the group of Buddhist monks, Zhang Tianlu heard a system notification.

"Congratulations, host, for defeating the combined demon-slaying operation of ten eminent monks from ten Buddhist temples by fighting against ten of them alone. You have received the following rewards: [Yin Tian Gang Thirty-Six Transformations - Five Elements Great Escape], [Yin Tian Gang Thirty-Six Transformations - Soaring Through the Clouds (Black Demon Cloud)], [Magic Treasure - Ten Thousand Crows Pot], [Nine Demon Gourd Seed], and 50 points!"

"A new mission has been issued: Among the ten great Buddhist temples, there are stupas containing the relics of eminent monks. The host must obtain the relics of merit!"
Completing the task will reward you with the following items: [Nine Demon Gourd Seeds Accelerated to Vine Formation Stage], [Yin Tian Gang Thirty-Six Transformations - Turning Earth into Steel], [Yin Tian Gang Thirty-Six Transformations - Flower Blooming Instantly], [Magic Item - Immortal-Capturing Mysterious Rope], [Magic Item - Eye-Piercing Blood Bead], [Ten Thousand Demon Puppet Refining Method], and 500 million points!

A system notification sounded in Zhang Tianlu's ear.
Defeat the high monks who jointly attack the ten major Buddhist temples and obtain a bunch of supernatural powers and magical treasures as rewards.

The Five Elements Great Escape, Riding the Clouds and Mist (Black Demon Cloud).

The former is the Five Elements Great Escape,

It not only records the Five Elements Immortal Techniques, but also includes the Five Elements Escape Techniques, containing the profound principles of the generation and restraint of the Five Elements.

The latter is even more terrifying.

The system also grants you a special ability to ride the clouds and mist.

Black Demon Cloud!
Similar to Sun Wukong's somersault cloud, it belongs to a special method of cloud-riding!

However, Sun Wukong's somersault cloud is just a monkey doing somersaults, and each somersault covers 108,000 li!

The Black Demon Cloud, gifted by the system, has a speed of ten thousand miles in a single breath.

However, Zhang Tianlu's Black Demon Cloud is capable of growth, and can continuously upgrade by absorbing demons, monsters, corpses, ghosts, and the evil energy of heaven and earth.

The upgraded Black Magic Cloud will become faster and faster.

The specific upper limit still needs to be determined by Zhang Tianlu.

The system rewards you with the [Magic Treasure - Ten Thousand Crows Pot] and [Nine Demon Gourd Seed]!
Zhang Tianlu had heard of the Wan Ya Hu (Ten Thousand Crows Pot).

This treasure originally belonged to Luo Xuan, a rogue cultivator from Fire Dragon Island, and could release a large number of fire crows to burn enemies.

During the Investiture of the Gods in the Shang Dynasty, Luo Xuan used the Ten Thousand Crows Pot to burn down the city of Xiqi. The fire was so intense that it reached the heavens. Later, this treasure was destroyed by Princess Longji.

Luo Xuan escaped and encountered Li Jing, where he died and was deified. He became the Southern Three Qi Fire Virtue Star Lord, leading the five righteous gods of the Fire Department, and was in charge of the Fire Bureau, inspecting the good and evil of the human world.

Fire God, you set fire to my baby.

This is good stuff.

As for the Nine Demon Gourd Seeds.

The system describes it as a born demon.

A seed born from the chaotic, filthy blood at the beginning of the world.

It belongs to the Yin and Yang categories, respectively, as does the innate gourd vine that grows at the foot of Mount Buzhou, Tianzhu.

The one at the foot of Buzhou Mountain is the Yangteng.

This one belongs to the vine family.

After the Yang Vine was created, it was nourished by the pure Qi of the Nine Heavens and the divine power of the Heavenly Pillar, and it had already grown vines and borne fruit.

Seven innate gourds were produced, which were obtained by various great gods of that time, each of whom used them as magical treasures.

However, because this Yin Vine was tainted with chaotic blood, it never managed to grow.

Now it has fallen into Zhang Tianlu's hands.

The system's mission is to travel to the Ten Great Buddhist Temples and obtain the relics of merit from these temples.

Once the task is completed, the system will automatically accelerate the maturation of the Nine Demon Gourd seeds to the vine-forming stage.

This means that Zhang Tianlu can subsequently accelerate the ripening of this shady vine gourd.

How terrifying would it be if the gourd that grew on the innate gourd vine on Mount Buzhou was later refined into a magical treasure?

I've heard of Zhang Tianlu.

If this gourd seed in my hand could also grow, then I'd be set for life!

So I'll definitely accept this task!
The relics of the Ten Great Buddhist Temples, right?
Isn’t that simple?
The most accomplished monks from the Ten Great Buddhist Temples have all been captured.

Obtaining their relics would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it? After absorbing the two great Heavenly Divine Powers...
Zhang Tianlu got up and told the monks to continue ripening the corpse beans on the coffin.

He then attacked the black tiger demon king.

He flipped over and sat on the back of the black tiger demon king.

They set off for the Ten Great Temples.

As soon as Zhang Tianlu unleashed his divine power, countless terrifying black clouds of corpse energy surged and churned beneath him in the next second.

Black demon clouds gathered directly beneath the feet of this 3000-year-old black tiger demon king.

The Black Demon Cloud moved with Zhang Tianlu's will.

The dark clouds immediately rose up, carrying Zhang Tianlu and the Black Tiger Demon King into the sky, heading straight for the Ten Great Dharma Temples.

Zhang Tianlu has been dead for over two thousand years, and the world has changed drastically since then.

These ten major temples were also built later.

Zhang Tianlu didn't know the way, but the black tiger demon king under his command was a local, so it knew the way!

Zhang Tianlu instructed the black tiger demon king to lead the way, starting with the nearest one!

The first place we went to was Longxiang Temple, the temple of that bald guy who had been making a fuss before.

The Longxiang Temple where he lives is also the closest to Fenglei Mountain.

Following the directions of the Black Tiger Demon King, Zhang Tianlu arrived at Longxiang Temple and landed directly on the stupa inside.

He stood on the stupa.

Looking at this place, Longxiang Temple.

Zhang Tianlu felt something was off.

The more he looked at the stupa, the more familiar it seemed.

Its architectural style is very similar to that of Taoist thunder towers.

Moreover, the architectural style of the Mahavira Hall of the neighboring Longxiang Temple is very similar to that of the Sanqing Hall of Taoism.

Especially the style of the main hall's roof.

Zhang Tianlu asked, "Was Longxiang Temple originally a Taoist temple?"

The Black Tiger Demon King recalled, "Master, it seems to have been a Taoist temple before, but later Buddhism flourished. This place has good feng shui, and the Taoist priests who used to be there went down the mountain to fight during the war. It seems they all died and none of them came back."

After the remaining Taoist priests died of old age, the monks of Longxiang Temple took over the site and converted it into Longxiang Temple.

The Black Tiger Demon King has 3000 years of cultivation. Although it hasn't truly lived for 3000 years, it still has a lifespan of over 1000 years. It has always lived and cultivated in this area, so it naturally knows all the major events that have happened here.

(The term "thousands of years of cultivation" refers to actual combat strength, not the number of years one has lived. For example, some powerful ghosts and demons may have high talent and good fortune, and may only have cultivated for 100 years, but after obtaining a great opportunity, they may have tens of thousands of years of cultivation, which is normal. Please pay attention to the distinction!)

Especially the existence of these Buddhist and Taoist temples.

They are all practitioners who cultivate the Dharma and the Tao, so they pay even more attention to it because it poses a threat to them.

Longxiang Temple was not originally a Buddhist territory.

Listen to what the tiger demon said.

Zhang Tianlu understood.

He said the layout here looked so familiar, and the arrangement and architectural style of the main halls clearly resembled those of a Taoist temple.

So they're just trying to profit from the extinction of their family line!

This stupa was also modified from the Thunder Pagoda of the Taoist sect.

Zhang Tianlu: "Very well, so you're going to turn my Daoist Thunder Pagoda into your Relic Pagoda? Then I won't hold back at all when I'm plundering you today!"

Zhang Tianlu originally came to steal it, but judging from this, it doesn't even count as stealing.

This is a case of cause and effect, and retribution is inevitable!
You occupy my Taoist land, I'll steal your relics, no problem!

Zhang Tianlu waved his sleeve, and a lightning talisman shot into the sky.

"The Holy Spirit is mighty, shaking heaven and earth. The Three Elements and Seven Governing Bodies, the Nine Powers and Eight Spirits!"

"May the Thunder God help me!!"
