I'm the Demon King in Marvel

Chapter 384 Erlang Shen, wants to make progress!
"Yang Jian, there are no immortals or Buddhas here, why bother to perform anymore?" The Great Sage glanced at Yang Jian who was on the cloud.

"Acting?" Yang Jian smiled and said, "Monkey, when have I ever acted before? Didn't that halberd strike hurt you just now?"

The Great Sage shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to this arrogant monster.

He knew very well whether the halberd strike just now hurt or not.

As the God of War in Heaven who "obeys orders but not declarations", why would he risk his life for a rebellious monkey from Buddhism?
There are very few people of his generation in this world who can fight against him, and there is only one younger generation like him. The battle they fought back then had already created a sense of mutual sympathy between them.

Now that the monkey is not accepting the arrangement of Buddhism, Yang Jian is happy to watch the joke. If the Jade Emperor hadn't ordered him to go to war again, he would not bother to make the trip.

However, this time the Jade Emperor not only ordered him to send troops, but also hinted that he wanted to kill the monkey and destroy the Buddhist plan, saying that it was the arrangement of heaven.

This made Yang Jian very unhappy.

Even the most obedient subordinates are unwilling to take the blame, let alone a rebellious god like Yang Jian who has a rebellious mind.

Therefore, many players speculated that Yang Jian was acting in the prologue animation, and even helped in the end, beating the Monkey King's body back to the state of spirit stone, but transforming his soul into six root instruments, laying the foundation for the Monkey King's resurrection.

Although the Buddha of the West was watching from the side via cloud projection during the battle, Yang Jian dared to disobey the orders of the Jade Emperor, the lord of the Three Realms, so how could he care about the Buddha?
Yang Jian, who was on the cloud, held up a three-pointed, two-edged halberd, pointed at Lin Hao and said, "Boy, that move just now was quite interesting. Try a few more moves. If you can satisfy me, I will not pursue the matter with you."

The Great Sage had been deeply affected by the shackles imposed by Buddhism for hundreds of years, and finally broke free from the cage. However, Gu Changkuai and Yang Jian had no such worries, but saw a glimmer of opportunity to move forward in this strange world.

Yang Jian's physical body has become holy, and his physical body is comparable to that of a saint. He has a chance to become a saint in the future.

But if you want to achieve Hunyuan Dao Fruit and glimpse the holy realm, it is useless to rely on hard practice alone.

To be precise, in Yang Jian's original world, ascetic practice could no longer allow later practitioners to achieve the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.

Because the old guys in front blocked the road.

The “Three Thousand Worlds” are indeed not small, but to several saints and Hongjun, who has incarnated the way of heaven, they are their own forbidden delicacy.

A list of gods is necessary for the catastrophe and also a means for the old guys to "maintain stability".

The disciples of the Chan and Jie sects abandoned their physical bodies and entered the list with their souls, becoming gods bound by the shackles of heaven. They were no longer the natural spirits or ancient qi-refining practitioners who roamed the world at large, and it was difficult for them to improve their Taoism.

Although the seven people who achieved sainthood in the flesh and the Golden Immortal of the orthodox teaching who "recruited disciples to ward off disasters" left behind their flesh bodies and seemed to have retained hope, the rules of the Heavenly Dao had already been gradually mastered by the old guys before them, and no matter how the later generations comprehended them, they could not escape the influence of their predecessors.

How can you achieve enlightenment by following other people’s paths?

So when he realized that this was a world without intervention from heaven or saints, Yang Jian's ambition was aroused.

Erlang Shen, want to make progress!
He hasn't forgotten the suffering he endured when he split the mountain to save his mother. The most ridiculous thing is that his sister Yang Chan actually has to repeat his mother's tricks, just because her damn fate has been determined.

To put it bluntly, it’s because I’m not strong enough!

If he also had the power of a saint, who would dare to let his mother and sister suffer? Even if the Heavenly Dao himself came to the rescue, he would have the power to turn things around, unlike now where he could do nothing and could only be forced to endure.

This strange world might be Yang Jian's chance, so he had to consider the strength of the person who could drag him here.

Lin Hao also wanted to fight, he wanted to verify his current level.

In the Marvel Universe, except for the Multiverse Eternals, the Beyonders, and the "THE ONE-ABOVE-ALL" (0AA) that only appeared a few times, Lin Hao can already defeat and kill other enemies. Even if he has the immortality trait, he can be dragged into the dimension connected to the little devil, cut off his plug-in, and then kill him.

But the masters in oriental fantasy are different. Their Taoism is integrated into their own body. The Heavenly Dao can influence, interfere with, or even directly kill them, but it will not directly grant individuals some kind of extraordinary authority or deprive them of certain special abilities.

Eastern practitioners gain all their power through their own practice, especially those in the Xuanmen sect who practice Taoism, so they are less affected by the environment. Even if they are dragged into the dimension linked to the little devil, their power will not be affected. At most, they will not be able to communicate with the Heavenly Dao and obtain the Heavenly Dao bonus.

Lin Hao agreed with this method of becoming stronger through practice, and he also took this path, but in the past he could not find any fellow Taoists to practice and verify with.

"Wealth, friends, Dharma and place" are the four basic elements of Taoist practice.

With the little devil around, Lin Hao has no shortage of "wealth" and "methods". What he doesn't have now will always be available in the future.
He has no shortage of "land". The Marvel Universe can even be turned into a fish pond contracted by him, and no one will compete with him for it.
The only thing missing is fellow Taoists with whom we can discuss and verify things with each other, that is, “companions”.

There is no shortage of it now.

"It couldn't be better if Master is willing to teach me." Lin Hao soared into the sky and floated up.

"Zhenjun" refers to "Zhenjun of Qingyuan Miaodao". The 40th chapter of "Fengshen Yanyi" clearly wrote that "Yang Jian once practiced the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong, the Seventy-two Transformations, the Infinite Wonderful Dao, and became a saint in the flesh, and was named Zhenjun of Qingyuan Miaodao".

Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun, Zhaohui Lingxianwang, etc. are all titles of Erlang Shen. It can be said that everyone in the Ming Dynasty knew them. "Erlang Baojuan" was written into a book during the Jiajing period. Its full name is "Qingyuan Miaodao Xiansheng Zhenjun Yi Liao Zhenren Protects the Country and Helps the People, Zhongxiao Erlang Kaishan Baojuan".

These are all ironclad evidence that "Yang Jian is Erlang Shen".

You can say that the author of "The Investiture of the Gods" is taking advantage of the popularity of Erlang Shen in the mythological system. After all, anyone can quote folk myths.

But since the author has already determined Yang Jian's identity, at least in "The Investiture of the Gods" Yang Jian is Erlang Shen, because the title cannot be determined arbitrarily.

Lin Hao climbed up to the top of the cloud and immediately transformed into "Super Saiyan 4" state. His "Super Saiyan 4" state is now different from the original one. It directly stimulates the Super Saiyan characteristics of his body. His appearance has not changed, he no longer has eye shadow and long hair, but his body is shrouded in red aura, which looks more like a flame cloud with mysterious Taoist patterns painted on it.

The characteristics of a Super Saiyan have become part of Lin Hao's physical instinct and foundation and cannot be separated. Moreover, facing Yang Jian who has practiced the Eight-Nine Profound Art, Lin Hao has no possibility of reaching that level in terms of physical cultivation except becoming a "Super Saiyan 4".

Can the Shushan martial arts be compared with the Eight-Nine Profound Arts?
It's really useless!
"Eight-Nine Mysterious Arts and Great Heavenly Immortal Art are both good things. I must find a way to find out later!"

Lin Hao's heart was burning with anger.

No matter what other skills you can get in the future, the two in front of you can be regarded as the top skills in the Eastern fantasy system, and they are most suitable for laying the foundation.

"Interesting, I didn't expect you to be a natural alien." Yang Jian looked Lin Hao up and down, his interest growing stronger.

"I'll just take it as a compliment..." Lin Hao smiled.

The next moment, the two collided with each other.

Auspicious clouds rolled in and the sky was quiet.

　The speculation about Erlang Shen in this chapter about the Black Monkey is the opinion of some players, and I also agree with this opinion because it is more in line with Yang Jian's character.

　　The setting of Yang Jian in "Fengshen" is also a common setting in the "Honghuang style". Everyone can say that Erlang Shen in the mythology is not called Yang Jian, but Yang Jian in "Fengshen" did become Erlang Shen in the end.
