I can't be a demon.

Chapter 365: Vajra Indestructible Body
The flesh and blood collapsed, and Huang Mei's death accelerated the speed of the collapse of memories.

Shen Lian felt a sharp pain in his ears.

It was as if countless ghosts and monsters were roaring in my ears, and I could vaguely see dense plant roots crisscrossing on the ground.

Then, in a trance, all the strange things disappeared.

Shen Lian understood that what he saw was the depths of the Yellow Springs. It wouldn't be long before he would have to face the Yellow Springs that had once been involved in the cycle of reincarnation in the three realms.

"Ah~~"

Mynah bird landed on my shoulder and said in a panic, "Go, go, go!"

"The underworld does not allow anyone to stay, and the underworld hides great terrors!!!"

Endless shadows drilled into the bone blade, even the stone eggs took the initiative to enter the ghost gourd, and the banyan tree restrained its demonic aura early on.

The teleportation tree stands in its original place, and the tree hole leads to the Dragon Palace in the North Sea.

Shen Lian returned to his normal state. Even though the Huang Mei he encountered was not in his prime, his strength should not be underestimated. The Tathagata Sutra was probably 70% to 80% powerful, causing serious injuries to his body and soul.

"Cough cough cough."

Shen Lian coughed up some organ fragments, and his injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The many golden bodies of Buddha in the lower dantian no longer resisted and were once again suppressed by the golden body of martial arts, but they would inevitably need a few years of recuperation.

"Unfortunately, the Mahayana Buddhism I recalled was all false."

"Otherwise, the Dragon Fish Robe might be able to go a step further."

Shen Lian tried to collect the true scriptures, but to no avail. Although he recalled and relived his experiences thousands of years ago with the help of his innate spiritual roots, it was not the connection between the past and the present after all, and what was fake was always fake.

"kindness?"

He looked up subconsciously, and suddenly looked towards Xiao Xitian with foresight.

Because Xiao Xitian was severely injured, blood was pouring out, mixed with shrill screams, which was horrifying.

Shen Lian noticed that the blood seemed to contain the aura of the true scriptures.

The aura of the Sutra seemed so real that it could even cause a reaction from the Dragon Fish Robe.

His mind moved slightly, and the ghost gourd kept swallowing up the blood around it. The lines on the surface of the treasure deepened, and it was brewing the best medicinal wine.

【Xitian Wine】

[It is brewed from the ghost gourd. After taking it, it can make the Niwan Palace undergo a transformation, which is helpful for the cultivation of the earthly immortal realm. 】

"Not bad!"

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows and immediately tried his best to drive the ghost gourd.

The internal space, which had already been empty, was immediately filled with blood and gore. In just a few breaths, tens of thousands of kilograms of medicinal wine filled the ghost gourd.

"It's enough for me to practice in the first level of Earthly Immortal. I'll just have to stay in seclusion for the next three hundred years."

Shen Lian was about to bend over and crawl into the tree hole, but just as he reached the entrance, he suddenly felt someone watching him inexplicably, as if he was right next to him.

He glanced around and saw a familiar female figure standing not far away.

The mother smiled without saying a word, her eyes revealing an elusive kindness. The injuries she had suffered when she was beheaded by Huang Mei had completely recovered.

"Son, are you okay?"

"No...it's okay."

Shen Lian stayed where he was after hesitating for a moment. The ghost gourd could collect blood, so it should be related to the mother, and the other party had no ill intentions.

The mother said softly, "We don't know how long it will take for us to meet again after this separation. Don't be reckless again. Cherish the last of your life."

Shen Lian felt warm in his heart and nodded in agreement with his mother's words.

The mother continued, "My soul is in trouble right now. I'm afraid it will be hard for me to wake up in the future. You must never recognize me again."

Shen Lian felt that his mother had discovered that he was not Jin Chanzi.

It's purely a thought left by the mother.

The human mother mentioned Jin Chanzi's last life, so it is very likely that Jin Chanzi has died, otherwise Sha Wujing would not have been missing for thousands of years.

Shen Lian was now completely confused and could not help but ask, "Mother...Mother, what year and day is today in the Zhenguan Period of the Tang Dynasty?"

"It is the twenty-sixth year of Zhenguan, and tomorrow is the first day of the new year."

The mother looked dazed and muttered to herself, "It's coming! It's coming!! Mother has something she wants to ask for your opinion on."

"Just tell me?"

"A disaster is coming, and no matter whether it is remedied or not, it will cause great suffering to all people..."

Shen Lian saw that the boundary of Da Ci'en Temple had begun to collapse. Outside the boundary was pitch black, filled with countless residual souls.

He interrupted, "Just have a clear conscience."

The mother came back to her senses, smiled and said, "I really have a clear conscience."

As soon as she finished speaking, the mother floated into the air, and Xiao Xitian turned into a lotus platform. She sat on it steadily and secretly performed a forbidden act.

After refining Xiao Xitian, she will invisibly bear the cause and effect of Buddhism. The mother can no longer leave Xiao Xitian, and the two become one.

From now on, all mortals in the world will become Tang Monk's flesh.

Shen Lian was stunned.

"Hiss, what kind of danger will we encounter in the 27th year of Zhenguan? Do we need to use taboos to help mortals avoid the great calamity of heaven and earth?"

In this way, mortals will also become food for demons, so the mother is not sure whether her behavior is right or wrong, and whether it will lead to worse consequences.

"Golden Chanzi, our relationship as mother and son has ended, and I will be heading to the Western Sacred Mountains. I will leave this item to you. Live well."

After the mother finished speaking, she left something behind and disappeared.

Shen Lian reached out to take it, and it turned out to be a ball of flesh and blood shaped like a heart, with a faint Buddhist light leaking out, which was related to Xiao Xitian.

【Xiaoxitian Remains】

[Once part of the Little Western Paradise, it fell into the depths of the underworld and was affected by the Peach Tree. When it was complete, it connected to the memories of a thousand years ago. Grind the remains of the Little Western Paradise into powder and apply it on the surface of the Buddha treasure to help the Buddha treasure develop wisdom. ]

"Cancel."

Shen Lian accepted the gift from his mother, took a deep look at the clouds, and then crawled into the tree hole.

When he opened his eyes, he had returned to the brightly lit North Sea Dragon Palace. The palace's strong men were moving back and forth between the palaces, making the scene extremely lively.

Shen Lian couldn't help but feel as if he was in another world.

It was not until a strong man saw Shen Lian and notified Hong Changli to come that he walked towards the main hall.

"Fairy!"

Hong Changli followed respectfully and came to the main hall together.

The doors and windows of the main hall were tightly closed. Shen Lian was about to push them open when he frowned. "Hong Changli, has a stranger ever entered or left the North Sea Dragon Palace?"

"My lord, I was just about to report this matter."

Hong Changli scratched his head, noticed the change in Shen Lian's expression and said quickly: "Not long after you left, Immortal, a strange man came to our house."

"who is it?"

Shen Lian sensed an evil aura surrounding the house, and his manas was sending out frantic warnings.

The starling also stood up its feathers and flew to the top of the roof as if facing a great enemy.

"He said he was your senior brother."

Hong Changli swallowed his saliva and added in panic: "He is dressed in white, holding a jade sword, and looks so murderous. We don't even have the courage to face him."

"Senior brother? Where can I find a senior brother?"

The bone blade at Shen Lian's waist was slightly unsheathed, and the main hall door fell down.

I saw a skinny arm covered with long hair placed on the altar. It was obviously lifeless, but its fingers twitched from time to time.

Shen Lian's expression slowed down, and he recognized the origin of the arm at a glance. "Senior Brother..."

"It seems that when I just started to recall, Little White Dragon has already awakened from the depths of the underworld and took the initiative to send Brother Monkey's arm to the Dragon Palace in the North Sea."

Shen Lian smiled bitterly and signaled Hong Changli to leave the main hall.

"Xiao Bailong calls himself Senior Brother, which shows that he has met Sha Wujing before."

"Think about it."

"Sha Wujing traveled westward through the underworld, and he must have passed through the depths of the Yellow Springs."

The little white dragon has been guarding the depths of the Yellow Spring for hundreds of years, most likely wanting to find out whether Jin Chanzi is alive or dead. He probably already had an answer in his mind the moment he saw Shen Lian.

Shen Lian let out a long sigh. The four masters and apprentices were in a more miserable state than each other.

The starling came close to the monkey's arm and pecked at the back of his hand slyly. As a result, the monkey opened its beak and grabbed the starling's neck with its arm.

"Quack quack!!"

"Help~~"

The starling struggled desperately, but the monkey still held on tightly with his arms.

"Master Ba, aren't you looking for death? Sun Wukong is a man of integrity. Even if he turns into six parts after death, he still has a proud character."

Shen Lian tried to pry his fingers apart, but they became tighter and tighter.

"Ah~ Ah Lian turned evil into good, using others to murder me, the Eighth Master!!"

Shen Lian communicated with the lotus platform, but an aura similar to that of Jin Chanzi was revealed. Monkey Brother loosened his arms without hesitation and became lifeless again.

"Ah ah ah."

The mynah bird was pacing around the hall, crying indignantly.

"Eighth Master wants to go back to Yanliang Town, eat wine and meat like a master~~"

"Eighth Master."

Shen Lian took out the ghost gourd and turned it over, then threw the stone eggs that had transformed into wild boars to the starling.

"Please, Master Eight, take some time to feed the stone. Gao Village should have the resources suitable for the growth of the stone. Remember not to annoy the Gao family."

Mynah bird did not resist too much, and understood that this matter involved dealing with the Little Leiyin Temple.

It pecked Shen Lian fiercely, then sank into the tree hole carrying the stone eggs.

Shen Lian carefully touched Monkey Brother's arm, and just as he touched it, an indescribable heat surged into his heart.

[The Psychic Stone Monkey occupation has been triggered, but the necessary conditions are missing and the job cannot be taken.]

[Tiangang Immortal Fetus—Spiritual Stone Monkey Compatibility 97.35%]

With Monkey Brother's arm as the opportunity for the stone egg to be promoted to the seventh level, the only thing missing from the five professions is the bone blade. However, the bone blade will be compatible with any ferocious beast, so it should not be difficult to obtain it.

Shen Lian has already thought of a way to obtain the bone blade opportunity, but it is a bit dangerous.

Nourishing.

He let go of Monkey Brother's arm, and his palms were covered with blisters from burns.

"Qi and blood?"

"No, it's the fire left in the Eight Trigrams Furnace by Monkey Brother. Damn, this is indeed the method of Taishang Laojun."

Shen Lian was astonished. Both Taoism and Buddhism contributed to the four masters and apprentices' first journey to the West, and Taishang Laojun made the most contribution in the original Journey to the West.

Monkey King was locked in the Bagua Furnace. Although he developed the ability to see with fiery eyes, he developed a weakness of being afraid of smoke, which weakened his strength to some extent.

Now it seems that it is not just the smoke that I am afraid of, but my body is constantly being disturbed by the fire.

"Haha, Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, I always feel that they were deliberately created for the journey to the west."

Taishang Laojun is the incarnation of the Lord of Dao and Virtue. As one of the Three Pure Ones in Taoism, he cares so much about the journey to the Western Lingshan to spread Buddhism. There must be some trick in the first journey.

"If you want to find out the truth, you have to ask the person involved."

If Shen Lian guessed correctly, Xiaobailong should have already gone to the Western Lingshan Mountain, Sun Wukong was seriously injured, and Zhu Bajie intended to hide.

If you want to uncover the truth, you have to go to the Western Sacred Mountain in person.

All the answers are in the Western Lingshan Mountain.

The source of the collapse of the Journey to the West world, the disappearance of the immortals and Buddhas, the disaster of the 27th year of Zhenguan, and where the creatures of the three realms will go...

"It's not the right time yet. Perhaps the human immortals have already reached the pinnacle in the mortal world, but with the inflation of the power of immortals and Buddhas after the catastrophe of heaven and earth, even earthly immortals and heavenly immortals may not be good enough."

Shen Lian sat cross-legged, circulating his energy throughout his body.

After three years of patient practice, his injuries were completely healed, and he then devoted himself to striving to achieve perfection in the human immortal realm.

Simultaneously.

Shen Lian discovered that by visualizing Monkey Brother's arms, his fishing skills seemed to be like martial arts that were about to emerge.

It is not the golden body technique related to Monkey King, but an extremely mysterious horizontal training method, which is even enough to promote the eight transformations of the Immortal Profound Art.

Unfortunately, the progress of understanding is slow and requires at least several decades of visualization.

Shen Lian did not look for shortcuts, but instead focused on studying the technique. After all, he was already used to multitasking and it could also help him kill some energy.

There are no years in the mountains, and time flies by like a white horse.

Twenty years later, under the guidance of Shen Lian, Hong Changli stepped into the seventh realm of Dao Infant and completely took over the affairs of the North Sea Dragon Palace and the outside world.

The number of strong men in the North Sea Dragon Palace is increasing, and they all come from the coastal areas to worship him.

Shen Lian used Hong Changli to re-establish contact with the Tang Dynasty court, but in order to prevent Xiao Leiyin Temple from noticing, there was not much interaction on the surface.

The stone eggs are also overflowing with experience, and the Five Ghost Gods are only half a step away from reaching 40,000 years of cultivation.

Forty-five years later.

Shen Lian finally got the hang of this unknown horizontal training method.

As expected, the unknown horizontal training was exactly Sun Wukong's Vajra-indestructible body. Of course, Sun Wukong was able to master it mainly because of the large amount of spiritual fruits, royal wine and elixirs he consumed during the Peach Banquet.

Shen Lian could already foresee that the points consumed by the Vajra Indestructible Body would be extremely exaggerated.

Fortunately, with each promotion in the five professions, the points will probably exceed 4,000, which should not be a problem to use to upgrade to the Vajra Indestructible Body.

"The Immortal Profound Art, the eight transformations of the Longevity Pillar, and the counterattacks for the five professional promotions have made it possible for me to be promoted to Earthly Immortal."

Shen Lian continued his retreat, and seventy-three years later he finally reached the perfection of human immortality.

It took one hundred and twenty-three years to fully realize the indestructible body of Vajra.

【Indestructible Body】

[Created by Shen Lian who visualized Sun Wukong. Cultivation requires a lot of resources to temper the body. After cultivation, it will become an indestructible body that cannot be destroyed by anything. 】

Shen Lian summoned up his profession panel and couldn't help showing surprise.

[Do you want to consume 204 points to master the indestructible body?]

"You need 204 points to get started, and your current points may not be enough."

Shen Lian then checked the points required for the Earthly Immortal Golden Body Technique.

[Do you want to consume 40 points to master the Glazed Pharmacist's Golden Body?]

"Cancel."

"Don't invest any points for now, save as much as you can."

Shen Lian controlled his strength and circulated it along the route of the Glazed Pharmacist's Golden Body, while at the same time summoning out the Martial Arts Golden Body.

The golden body of martial arts turned into a pill.

Shen Lian pulled out the bone blade, and the strength formed a thread that connected to the martial arts golden body.

He swung his body vigorously, and the golden body of martial arts fell far outside the Dragon Palace in the North Sea. The faint light attracted the attention of countless demons and monsters from the underworld.

"Go fishing. There will always be a demon that is compatible with the bone blade."

"If it fails in ten years, I will temporarily slow down the advancement of the Bone Blade and aim directly for the Earthly Immortal."
