I can't be a demon.

Chapter 335 Sixth-level Occupation [Six Paths Ksitigarbha]

"Ah~~"

Seeing that the opportunity to reach the sixth level was just around the corner, the starling's eyes lit up.

It transformed into a bird and landed on Shen Lian's shoulder, urging him to advance as quickly as possible. After all, the self-proclaimed leader of the four ghost gods had been stuck at ten thousand years of cultivation.

"Wait a minute, silly bird."

Shen Lian returned to his normal state, and the sound of ceramic shattering could be heard all over his body.

Due to the erosion of Lingshan's natural laws, the flesh and bones were covered with cracks, and the flesh could be easily broken off with a slight touch.

"If Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had held on for a few more breaths, I would have been the one to escape."

Shen Lian smiled bitterly and even raising his arms felt extremely painful.

His injuries were extremely serious and he needed to recuperate for at least a few decades. During this period, he could not use his body and soul, otherwise his realm would inevitably fall.

"But it does feel good to be able to completely destroy the foundation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."

"Jie Jie Jie."

Shen Lian was breathing heavily and poured all the medicinal wine in the ghost gourd into his stomach. The medicinal power barely stabilized his injuries, but they could not heal in a short time.

He could sense the prying eyes coming from inside the city.

The ordinary people were affected by the Buddha's light, and their memories were a little vague. In addition, the Buddhist tradition was cut off, so they had no idea what Tathagata was.

The father was mixed in the crowd and didn't even know it was his own son who made the move.

The situation is different for the various forces. They more or less know about Buddhism before the great catastrophe, and the shock brought by the reincarnation of Tathagata is beyond words.

Compared with Tathagata, Lu Zu is nothing but a dwarf.

The Lü Dongbin recorded in ancient books was just one of the Taoist immortals in the world. Many Taoist sects thousands of years ago were established by Lü Zu to teach and impart knowledge.

Where is Tathagata?
The Supreme Being of the Three Realms, an existence that can be compared with the Three Dao Ancestors.

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

Why did Tathagata's reincarnation not practice Buddhism or Taoism, but instead pursue martial arts? Could it be that martial arts are related to the changes in the heaven and earth?

Or is it simply that Tathagata is a reincarnation who has not yet awakened his innate wisdom and intends to become an immortal or a Buddha through martial arts?

For a moment, all the forces were confused. If Xiao Leiyin Temple did not take action in the future, the Tang Dynasty's voice in the mortal world would be greatly increased.

Shen Lian was not as optimistic as he appeared, and his brows were slightly furrowed.

"We have no choice but to take advantage of the situation, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will not be able to survive."

He knew that he was not the reincarnation of Tathagata, and his reputation was linked to the Western Lingshan Mountain. He would definitely have a lot of troubles in the future. After all, the catastrophe of heaven and earth might have started from Buddhism.

Let's take a step by step.

As long as one can secure a hundred years as the reincarnation of Tathagata, it would be considered a huge fortune.

Shen Lian is confident that he can achieve earthly immortality within a hundred years in the mortal world, and all four professions will reach the seventh level.

By then, even if all the forces of the Little Leiyin Temple come out, they will be able to fight, as long as they don't face the Yellow-browed Old Buddha who is above the level of a celestial being.

Shen Lian held the heart of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in his hands and glanced at the career panel.

At this time, all the Buddhas outside the temple have been destroyed, Ksitigarbha and Yama's experience has reached 278%, and the experience of the Savage Roe Owl is 105%.

[Ksitigarbha Yama-Evil Ksitigarbha compatibility 97.67%]

[Whether to synthesize the evil Ksitigarbha and be promoted to Ksitigarbha Yama]

"determine."

Shen Lian's breath was still weak, and before any cultivators could harbor any ill intentions, the vision of the starling being promoted to the sixth level made them shut up.

The starling raised its head and spewed out black air, and piles of white bones scattered like raindrops.

Simultaneously.

The scenes of the ten levels of hell emerged one by one, and in the blink of an eye, an area of ​​a thousand miles was filled with evil spirits.

The common people did not notice anything was wrong, but the spies from various forces all screamed in unison, as if they were experiencing the torture of the tenth level of hell.

Looking around, the hellish scene was filled with corpses of various causes of death.

Shen Lian stood in place. This scene was completely different from the previous Buddha's light shining everywhere. It was hard to imagine that the former was the reincarnation of Tathagata.

He did not fall into a deep sleep. After mastering the occupation panel, he was no longer affected by the basic objects and secretly absorbed the nutrients from the starling's promotion and counterattack.

Di Ting was looming in the black air, and his body was about forty meters tall.

The palace on the back becomes complete, and it can be seen that there are four building complexes in total. The plaques indicate that they are the residences of King Qin Guang, King Chu Jiang, King Song, and King Wuguan. They are the residences of the Ten Kings of Hell.

It is hard to imagine the upper limit of Di Ting. Perhaps when he reaches the ninth level, he is already responsible for the entire underworld.

Roar! ! !
Di Ting's refreshing roar was deafening, and twenty thousand years of Taoism poured out.

Without consuming blood, Di Ting's Taoism advanced further out of nowhere. Others could only explain it as "Shen Lian enlightening the demon."

Come to think of it, according to the information collected by various forces, the guardian gods and ghosts are not created overnight.

When Di Ting was first born, he was just a nine-eared demon with a thousand years of experience; Taotie had only been a demon for five hundred years; and the banyan tree had taken root in the Yanshan area for more than a dozen generations and had never been a demon before.

In just a few years, all the demons that followed Shen Lian reached the level of ten thousand years of Taoism.

It can only be described as one person's success brings prosperity to everyone around him.

Even if he is not the reincarnation of Tathagata, Shen Lian's origins are still among the top ones in the Three Realms.

"Quack, quack, quack."

The vision of Di Ting came to an abrupt end, and he tilted his head to comb his hair.

Shen Lian was a little helpless, "Myna, don't show off."

[Ksitigarbha Yama is promoted to Six Paths Ksitigarbha, martial arts points +200]

With the addition of points provided by the overflowing experience of the Savage Roe Deer Owl, the points return to 436.

[Six Paths Wisdom Eyes: Can easily identify antique calligraphy and paintings less than 20,000 years old, and can remove the resentment of 20,000 years of Taoism.]

Di Ting moved around a few times, warning all forces not to interfere with the Tang Dynasty.

Different from Shen Lian's purpose of helping the world (gaining experience), Di Ting is more interested in enjoying the mundane world and doesn't like staying in the demon cave.

Di Ting shook his head proudly, turned back into a mynah bird and disappeared into the pawnshop.

Going to ask someone's dad for nuts.

Shen Lian exhaled. The reward from his career advancement was enough to allow him to break through a small realm when his body and soul were at their peak, but now he could only recover 50% of his injuries.

"Level 6 is not a qualitative change. The improvement in strength at levels 7 and 8 is the most terrifying."

The reason why he decided to participate in Shangqing Palace was not to root out the evil, but the true body of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was the key.

【Six Paths Ksitigarbha (17.84%)】

The fake Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has been expelled from the Xiao Leiyin Temple. It is impossible for him to make a comeback by relying on the Shangqing Palace, and he poses no threat.

Of course, it's better to get rid of him. A self-righteous psychopath cannot be kept for long.

Shen Lian had learned about Shangqing Palace from Elder Feng Jing. This place was also the site of the old heaven, and it was likely to connect the past and the present.

Lingbao Tianzun was the one who held the Wusheng Daoguo in Shangqing Palace.

The so-called fruit of the Tao of no birth, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than a corpse-dismemberment convention. Well, at least I have a token of the Taoist amulet from Lingbao Tianzun, so in theory I can exchange it for some flesh and blood of the real body of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

There is no problem with the minced meat being the opportunity for Starling to advance to the seventh level.

Shen Lian had previously triggered the prompt of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's true body in the Immortal Prison Room, and the degree of compatibility with [Corpse Buddha Ksitigarbha] was as high as 265%.

Now that the starling has reached the sixth level, the degree of compatibility has been diluted, but it is still above 90%.

If one is lucky enough to obtain the branches and leaves of the Peach Tree, it will be natural for the banyan tree to be promoted to the seventh level.

Shen Lian figured out his next plan and secretly communicated with the banyan tree to clean up the mess. Suddenly, the ground within a thousand miles began to shake.

The banyan tree's roots clear the vitrified sandy soil, stimulating the regrowth of grass and trees.

The damaged mountains were repaired one by one, and the towns that were previously buried underground were put back in place.

The colored glaze collected by the banyan tree contains the lingering charm of the way of heaven. Through the magical power of pregnant things, it is transformed into red fruit stamens blooming on the branches.

More than 300,000 people cheered and called out to the mountain god, and the ghost father and others who assisted them were also mentioned.

"I almost forgot about the immortal ghost."

The corner of Shen Lian's eye twitched, and his soul looked into the lotus platform.

All the immortals and ghosts were imprisoned inside, with each of them having only about three thousand years of spiritual power left, and they were in agony due to the erosion of the Heavenly Dao.

Shen Lian's mind moved, and the lotus platform swallowed up the remaining rhyme of the Heavenly Dao.

The immortals and ghosts were so weak that they were thrown into the inner courtyard of the Plague Department. Resources would definitely be allocated to them in the future to help them recover.

"The dragon fish robe is a blessing in disguise."

Shen Lian discovered that the spirit of the Dragon Fish Robe had fallen into a deep sleep.

The baptism of Buddha's light enabled the Dragon Fish Robe to be promoted to a mid-level treasure ahead of schedule. If he were to nurture it on his own, four to five hundred years would be the minimum.

Shen Lian returned to Yanliang Town, explained the affairs of the Tang Dynasty, and then planned to go back to the Plague Department for seclusion.

As a result, as he just arrived at the courtyard, he suddenly heard a voice calling him in his ear. He turned around and saw a bloody tiger head hanging in the air.

"Fellow."

"Tiger Power Immortal?"

"You are not worthy of this, you are not worthy of this, how dare you call yourself an immortal in front of Master Shen."

"Master Hu Li, thank you Chechi Nation for supporting the Tang Dynasty."

The visitor was none other than the great immortal Huli, one of the three demons of Chechi Kingdom. However, his real body could not leave the cave, so only his head came to the mortal world.

Shen Lian's gaze fell on the broken neck of the tiger head, where a large amount of scriptures were flowing.

It is unclear what kind of Buddhist Dharma it is, but the Great Immortal Huli has probably refined 60% of it. This shows that the demons in the world are not fools.

Immortal Hu Li said embarrassedly: "The demons causing chaos in various places have been suppressed by Chechi Kingdom and Moyun Cave. I just wanted to come to Yanshan, but the evil Buddhas have already fled on the verge of death."

Shen Lian smiled and said nothing. The words of the Great Immortal Huli were just a lie.

The tiger and the fox are probably watching in secret.

However, if Shen Lian were in their shoes, they might not agree to support the Tang Dynasty. The sincerity of the two forces is already good.

"Master Hu Li, please tell me what you have to say."

Hu Li Daxian's eyes turned, "I have long admired the martial arts created by Daoyou. It just so happens that a group of disciples have been born in Chechi Country. Why not let them follow Zuo Yan to train for a few years?"

"Okay, I'm sure Zuo Yan won't refuse."

"Haha, I don't want you to work in vain. I might as well give some resources to the Tang Dynasty."

The Great Immortal Huli is just finding different ways to give away resources.

Shen Lian had a talisman in his arms and received the message. The Long Live Fox King was unwilling to be left behind, so he specially asked a hundred fox girls to deliver the unique pills of Moyun Cave.

Not only that, some other caves are trying to contact Shen Lian by relying on their connection with the Jinwu Guards, in order to climb up the high branches of the immortals and Buddhas in the world.

"I'm seriously injured. I need to retreat and recuperate immediately."

Shen Lian said in a deep voice: "Daoyou Hu Li, please help keep an eye out for the corpses of strange beasts and great monsters."

"no problem."

"It would be best if it was related to the Nine Spirits Saint, or the Four Seas Dragon Kings."

The Great Immortal Huli was speechless. How could he have the ability to pull out a tooth from a tiger's mouth? The Dragon Palace in the Four Seas has been sealed for a thousand years, and it is even more difficult to tell the real Jiuling Yuansheng from the fake.

Shen Lian did not force it. Now among the four professions, only the Savage Roe Owl was still at level five. Fortunately, the opportunity for Bone Blade to be promoted was relatively easy to find.

The opportunity could be a strange beast, and maybe the trip to Shangqing Palace would yield some rewards.

After all, there were quite a few demons, fairies and gods in the old heaven.

"Fellow Daoist, be careful in Panhuan Cave. The magical powers of Jiuling Yuansheng must be used on ordinary people in order to continuously replenish the cave with fresh blood."

"kindness."

There was a cold flash in Shen Lian's eyes, and he could not let Panhuan Cave go.

After achieving Earthly Immortal, he was the first to destroy Jiuling Yuansheng.

"Master Hu Li, there is one more thing. Is Master Yang Li the God of Finance? I have a friend who needs the Eight-Part Kung Fu..."

The great immortal Huli listened attentively and agreed with a subtle expression.

Shen Lian did not hide his identity as a Taoist priest of the Plague Department. He knew that he needed the eight techniques to perfect his martial arts elixir so that he could become a martial arts immortal sooner.

"Yang Li mentioned the Plague Minister Daozi who suddenly appeared, and thought that you were the reincarnation of the residual soul of the Plague God Lu Yue. Who would have thought..."

Huli Daxian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How come all the reincarnated immortals and Buddhas originated from you?"

"Excellent."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else, and I will try my best to collect the eight techniques for you, but there may only be some fragments."

"The fragment is enough."

If Shen Lian gathers the eight sets of skills, he can lay the foundation for the immortal seed of martial arts elixir, and then he can integrate advanced skills into the immortal realm one by one.

The Great Immortal Huli did not ask about the reason for the eight parts of the martial arts.

He chatted for a while and then escaped, saying that his head and body had been separated for too long. Before leaving Yanshan, he left behind a token for entering and leaving Chechi Kingdom.

Finally, the token was used to nurture a teleportation tree leading to Chechi Kingdom, in case of emergency.

Shen Lian stayed with his father in Yanliang Town for a few days before returning to the inner gate of the Plague Department.

Long time no see.

There are subtle differences within the inner sect of the Plague Department.

The number of monks who practice Buddhism has increased instead of decreased, and now accounts for one-third of the number of disciples. There are monks from temples wandering among the various mountain gates.

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva must hate me to death. If it weren't for the fact that Buddhism has penetrated deeply into the Eight Divisions, all the previous arrangements would have been destroyed in an instant."

Shen Lian licked his lips, happy to see that the eight disciples fed the ghosts with their bodies, and waited until they were fat and ready to be slaughtered. This was the experience of the Six Paths Ksitigarbha.

With the help of Gao Qiu, he figured out the current situation of the eight departments.

There are indeed rumors about the Shangqing Palace in the inner sect, and the God of Plague has already sent disciples to investigate, but it is hard to say at what stage.

"Zheng Lun doesn't have the Guandao Talisman, so he has to rely on Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to enter and exit the Shangqing Palace. It will take the latter 20 to 30 years to rebuild his physical body."

"The martial arts immortal has time."

Shen Lian communicated with the martial arts elixir, and bits of golden body fragments fell.

[Do you want to consume 20 points to complete the longevity pile?]

The moment he was sure of it, the power surged to his lower dantian, and the fragments began to multiply, slowly piecing together the prototype of the martial arts golden body.

Not long after, the martial arts golden body was complete again.

Unfortunately, his cultivation, which had originally reached the perfection of the eighth realm, fell to the initial stage of the eighth realm.

Shen Lian didn't care at all. He had the martial arts elixir from the fairyland and the status of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, which could easily help him advance in martial arts and return to the top.

He continued to retreat, and there was no news from Shangqing Palace for three or four years.

Shen Lian was even more certain that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva had already hidden in the deep ghost market, and the Shangqing Palace was his only remaining chance.

While he was thinking, his soul urged the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha to attain enlightenment.

Shen Lian could vaguely sense that there was a statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva placed in the dark temple. As expected, it was the Xiao Leiyin Temple.

As a result, he was forced to become a double agent for both Taoism and Buddhism.
