I can't be a demon.

Chapter 326: Transformed into a Human Immortal

The baptism has begun. The transformation of the physical body can be assisted by external forces, but the transformation of the soul must be promoted by visualizing the way of heaven alone.

It is the last step for a mortal to become a land immortal.

In later generations, because of the true scriptures, one only needed to use Nuo as a bridge to get close to the way of heaven. It seemed that the difficulty of becoming an immortal was greatly reduced, but in fact, it was not the case. Countless people failed.

A strong aura of resentment spread, and the relics in the monks' bodies began to grow out of control.

After all, the relic was transformed from a ghost, so it is natural for it to be greedy for flesh and blood. The only reason it didn't completely backfire was thanks to the intimidation of the Nuo immortal.

Shao Xiuwen was a little surprised.

He found that practicing Buddhism did not become an obstacle to achieving immortality.

The sarira can actually suppress the immortals in disguise. No matter how you look at it now, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Buddhist teachings do have more advantages than disadvantages.

Shao Xiuwen couldn't help but frown. Just because he didn't need any skills to protect himself didn't mean that the ordinary cultivators from the eight divisions could turn a blind eye.

As a group of immortals from the Plague Department come out of retreat, Buddhism will inevitably spread.

"Hey."

"Zheng Lun plotted against Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was also plotting against him. If they don't tear each other apart, it will be difficult to eliminate Buddhism."

"Both sides are making bets, but once everything is lost, is there really any way back?"

Shao Xiuwen was thinking about the situation of the Eight Tribes. The expressions of the dozens of people in front of him became more and more painful, and their souls were struggling on the way to meet the Heavenly Dao.

"what!!!"

The shrill wails broke the silence, and the monks with shallow foundations could no longer control themselves.

It is not so easy to climb the spine of the Nuo Immortal of the Tai Sui tribe. More than a dozen people had their spirits exhausted and were suddenly in a dilemma on the stairs.

Their bodies scratched their skin frantically, and for a moment, it was a bloody mess.

The Three True Gods stared at Shen Lian and turned a blind eye to the suffering of the other cultivators.

During the previous times when monks were trying to transform themselves into immortals, the righteous gods would occasionally help stabilize their bodies, but now they are still allowed to go astray.

From this we can see that practicing Buddhism is indeed an exchange of benefits with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

In their hearts, the three righteous gods actually look down upon Buddhism.

Shen Lian's body was safe and sound, and his expression showed neither joy nor sadness. Just a moment after leaving his body, the aura of Tao favored by Heaven surrounded his body.

Zheng Lun nodded with a smile.

No matter what Shen Lian's identity was in his previous life, since he chose to follow the path of a plague cultivator, it means that he still recognizes his identity as a Taoist priest of the Plague Department.

Perhaps, Shen Lian was one of those who escaped through the unknown path.

"Zheng Zhengshen, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not."

Shao Xiuwen couldn't help but speak. In his opinion, Shen Lian's achievement of becoming a human immortal was a foregone conclusion, and it was not impossible for him to make further progress in the future.

"Nephew, you say."

"Why do we need to rely on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? Is the fruit of the path of no birth important?"

"The Plague Department's Dao that Junior Brother Tianwen has comprehended on his own may not necessarily be passed on to others, but as long as the eight departments devote their resources, they will be able to step into the realm of earthly immortals within a thousand years, and the Plague Department's predicament will definitely be improved."

Zheng Lun remained silent, and had to admit that his mood had been shaken by Shen Lian's appearance, and he had even been hesitant not long ago.

But there is no way to escape it, the purpose of the existence of the Eight Divisions of Ghost Market must be known.

If the time comes and you choose to break off relations with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, I don’t know how long you will have to wait before finding the right opportunity.

"important."

Zheng Lun said firmly: "Yuqing Palace of Yuanshi Tianzun is missing, the remains of the old heaven cannot be found at all, and Taiqing Palace of Daode Tianzun fell into the depths of the North Sea."

He squeezed the handle with his right hand so hard that veins popped out.

"Shangqing Palace is the only opportunity to contact the Three Pure Ones. I just want to ask, where did the immortals and gods in heaven go after the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, and why did they want to teach us the incomplete Taoism."

"Master Nephew, we really... are unwilling to accept this!!!"

The twelve bodies of Shao Xiuwen sighed at the same time.

"besides……"

Yan Guan added: "I visited Guanyin Temple in my early years. Guanyin Bodhisattva mentioned that the journey to the West Lingshan Mountain was advanced by a thousand years."

He stretched out his hand to pinch his temple, speaking with a hint of uneasiness, "Perhaps the true scripture has not yet been revealed. Once it is revealed, I don't believe how many forces will fight for it."

Shao Xiuwen was so shocked that he was speechless, but at the same time he understood Zheng Lun's obsession.

Zheng Lun smiled bitterly and said, "Nephew, I must go to Shangqing Palace to take a look. I must question Lingbao Tianzun in person, even if it means death."

Everyone has his own choice. For him, the catastrophe of heaven and earth is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

The resentment grew.

There was an oily, alluring scent of sandalwood hanging in the air.

The limbs of some monks began to twitch, their nerves could not withstand the baptism of the Heavenly Dao, their bodies went out of control, and their relics began to devour the immortal seeds.

Shao Xiuwen glanced over and noticed that something was wrong with the out-of-control monk.

According to common sense, all the eight groups of monks who go astray will become Nuo immortals, but the part of the Moral Lord involved is different.

But things are different after practicing Buddhism.

Shao Xiuwen suspected that the Buddhist teachings of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to the Plague Department were obviously created to target the immortals. Instead of turning into a Nuo immortal, he transformed into a temple monk.

He was worried because the Eight Tribes of Ghost Market and Nuo Immortals had coexisted for thousands of years, and Nuo Immortals had long become a part of the Taoist heritage.

And there is a high probability that the monks in the temple will become the hidden hands of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the future.

"Zheng Zhengshen, are you not going to deal with it?"

"If you want Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to come to the ghost market, you must agree to his conditions. The temple monks are one of them. Otherwise, how dare you set foot in the old heaven?"

Zheng Lun narrowed his eyes and said, "At least we, the Eight Gods, cannot do anything. Don't worry, the temple monks will not be able to achieve anything."

Shao Xiuwen watched coldly, not hiding his disdain.

At this moment.

All the monks in the temple focused their attention on Shen Lian. The latter's fresh blood was a great tonic. Even though the deformation of his flesh and blood had not yet been completed, they were already impatient to crawl over.

Not long after they turned into ghosts, their cultivation levels had exceeded four thousand years.

Seeing this, Zheng Lun said helplessly: "Nephew, please help suppress the monks in the temple. Our plague department has really caused you trouble."

"fine."

Shao Xiuwen controlled the twelve bodies to surround the temple monk.

Just as he was about to activate the secret technique, he stood there in shock with a look of astonishment.

"Nephew, you..."

Click click click.

Zheng Lun could hear the noise coming from Shen Lian's feet even from a distance, it was like the rubbing of sharp teeth against each other, mixed with the sound of greedy swallowing of saliva.

"Where did this evil spirit come from? It's hiding in Junior Brother Tianwen's shadow!!!"

Shao Xiuwen retreated several steps, and the twelve bodies formed a formation together, and densely packed flying swords formed a sweeping momentum in the air.

The Tai Sui tribe is good at forming an army of one person, and they have an endless variety of methods.

Roar! ! !
Endless shadows gathered together, and before the flying sword could cut it off, a giant Taotie beast over 20 meters long appeared in front of Zheng Lun and others.

To be precise, it was a gluttonous beast that was completely different from what was recorded in ancient books.

The bone blade was upgraded to the fifth level by using the six-tusked white elephant, and with the addition of the characteristics of the nine-headed worm, an indescribable wild aura came over it.

The main body is a Taotie, with eight extra heads faintly visible on the neck, and the exposed sharp teeth appear like ivory.

Shao Xiuwen did not act rashly, as the giant beast in front of him must have been practicing Taoism for more than ten thousand years.

And in his impression, wild and ferocious beasts like Taotie have long been extinct, and the magical powers they displayed must be extremely difficult to deal with.

Surprisingly, Taotie showed no malice.

Taotie opened his mouth and spit, and hundreds of bloody mouths appeared on the ground, and the monks who were scrambling to escape fell into them. The creepy chewing sound echoed.

The experience progress of the Savage Roe Deer Owl suddenly increased by 20%.

Taotie looked around, then disappeared into the shadows contentedly.

Shao Xiuwen looked at Shen Lian in disbelief, then at Zheng Lun, not understanding the origins of the Plague Minister.

Taotie is obviously a guardian ghost god, but there were almost no immortals and gods in the old heaven who were involved with such a ferocious beast. Could it be that it came from an even more ancient past?

Zheng Lun remained calm on the surface, but he was a little confused in his heart.

The ten thousand year old demon was indeed no threat to a terrestrial immortal like him, but from beginning to end, he had never noticed the existence of Taotie.

"It shouldn't just be Taotie, could there be other guardian ghosts and gods?"

Zheng Lun's eyelids were twitching wildly.

He suddenly remembered a rumor at the end of the ghost market.

In the ruins of the old heaven, strange crows seem to have appeared and disappeared mysteriously in recent years, wandering around the buildings around the South Gate of Heaven.

The crows might also be closely related to the plague.

"Uh."

Shen Lian's body groaned, and his Tao charm suddenly intensified. Along with the baptism of rebirth, the Tao charm mixed with the aura of immortals merged into his body.

Zheng Lun's pupils shrank slightly. Shen Lian seemed to be baptized successfully, but for some reason, his expression became... extremely desperate.

With his head tilted upward, his cloudy eyes seemed to be staring at something.

If he had ever witnessed Zhen Yuanzi's fruit tasting conference, he would have surely realized that the despair revealed by Shen Lian was just like that of Patriarch Bodhi.

.........

The top of the Nuoxian Stairs.

Shen Lian contemplated the illusory, unreal and strange colors, and felt more and more that something was wrong. The omen of his manas seemed to be hinting at that as well.

"What exactly is Heaven's Way? It can't be just a ball of light and shadow."

"Isn't it because of the laws of heaven that the universe breeds catastrophes?"

Driven by strong curiosity, Shen Lian could not help but stare at the Heavenly Dao. Then a golden light flashed between his eyebrows, and a lotus platform quietly appeared.

The lotus platform sensed what Shen Lian was thinking, and its dantian separated from its physical body to protect its soul.

boom!
The lotus platform revealed its tenth-grade essence and continued to lift Shen Lian up.

The speed of Shen Lian's soul transformation accelerated, the Dao rhyme merged into his soul inside and out, and the immortal seed imprinted lines of indistinguishable scriptures.

Transforming from a mortal to an immortal is the process of thoroughly refining the true scriptures.

Shen Lian focused his attention on the transformation of his primordial spirit and put his main energy on the Way of Heaven.

The distorted colors are revealed bit by bit.

The lotus platform seemed to be pulled by an indescribable force and slowly came to the place where light and shadow intersected.

When I looked at the shadows from afar, I felt that they contained all the great principles of the world. After being baptized for a moment, my soul had already transcended the mundane world.

But when he came into close contact with light and shadow, he had a completely opposite feeling.

So… fake.

The lotus platform made a sound as if it could not bear the weight, and dense cracks spread out. The sixth-level fundamental object could not face the Heavenly Dao for too long.

Shen Lian's soul felt no discomfort, and going deeper into the light and shadow only accelerated his transformation from mortal to immortal.

He couldn't see the stairs clearly at all, as countless lights and shadows enveloped him.

The lotus platform stopped moving.

Shen Lian stretched out his hand to push away the light and shadow, and his whole body froze as if it was frozen.

The source of light and shadow is three strange and inexplicable skins, which seem to be intertwined with each other, and seem to be struggling, with their facial features moving, as if chanting ancient forbidden scriptures deep in the underworld.

Shen Lian was not mistaken, the three skins came from the Three Pure Ones.

"How could there be the shed skins of the Three Pure Ones in the depths of Heaven?"

"The Three Pure Ones are the culprits behind the catastrophe of heaven and earth?"

"wrong!"

Shen Lian raised his head and looked into Sanqing's empty eyes.

"It's still not the true Heavenly Dao. The Three Pure Ones seem to be covering up the Heavenly Dao, or in other words, maintaining the delicate balance of the Heavenly Dao."

Unknowingly, Shen Lian's transformation of his soul had been completed.

Shen Lian was unwilling to give up the opportunity to look directly at the Heavenly Dao, and he stared at it intently until his expression fell into endless despair.

The lotus platform fell, and the soul lost the trace of the Three Pure Ones' bodies.

Shen Lian's consciousness returned to his body, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat, he sat cross-legged on the ground, gasping for breath, his mind a blur.

Zheng Lun and others discovered that Shen Lian completed the baptism first, and his aura was also promoted to that of a land immortal.

After more than half an hour, Shen Lian's state of mind finally recovered.

"Oh shit."

He tried to recall it carefully, and found that he had lost the last memory of visualizing the Heavenly Dao. It seemed that something was left between the skins of the Three Pure Ones.

Shen Lian didn't dare to think too much, for he might go astray if he wasn't careful.

The lotus platform was severely damaged and it is estimated that it cannot be used for more than ten years. Once it goes crazy, there will be no way to suppress it.

Shen Lian guessed that the way of heaven was not something that could be explored at the level of human immortals.

He hastened to consolidate his cultivation, and mysterious patterns appeared on his body and soul, as if they were made up of countless incomplete scriptures, and his every move was as if assisted by a god.

The martial arts plague pill is filled with the Dao rhyme visible to the naked eye, and the corrosiveness of the bacteria is greatly increased.

If the plague pill is not contained, Yanliang Town will be filled with plague in a matter of seconds.

Shen Lian finally realized the difference between immortals and mortals.

Even if the immortals on land are only the lowest level [human immortals] among the immortal gods, they are not comparable to the Ninth Realm. After all, after the true scriptures are integrated into the body and soul, the power of the secret techniques they use is no longer the same as before.

However, Shen Lian's status as a land immortal has to be discounted somewhat, as his main cultivation technique is only at the eighth level.

"I have become an immortal."

"From now on, I should take the initiative to explore the truth hidden in the corner."

"There is a teleportation tree. We can find a chance to visit the ruins of the old heaven."

Shen Lian glanced at the door of the main hall and saw a total of thirty-two people beginning the baptism of the Heavenly Dao. The Dao rhyme around them condensed into the prototype of a scripture.

"hiss……"

It was a very ordinary scene, but it gave him a chill.

Transform into an immortal? Refining the true scriptures?
Shen Lian only felt that the cultivators were imprinting the true scriptures into their bodies and souls.

The human immortal is actually more like a true scripture.

Whether or not one will become an immortal depends on the process of transforming into the true scriptures.

Shen Lian suppressed all distracting thoughts. No matter whether there were drawbacks to the martial arts in the world, at least his realm was improving and he was still alive.

He circulated the Qi in a circular motion to stabilize his cultivation, and carefully pondered the differences between his body and soul.

Shen Lian has not yet obtained the Taoist orthodoxy at the human immortal level, but he already has a strange sense of restraint, which is only weaker in the deep ghost market.

If I were in the mortal world, it would be difficult for me to fully display my strength.

He called out the career panel.

[Realm: Human Immortal (Transformed Immortal)]

"Haha, an insect egg turns into an immortal. I am just a newly born insect egg."
