I can't be a demon.

Chapter 367: Promoted to Earthly Immortal
Shen Lian took a deep look at the underworld. The deep and boundless darkness was filled with malice, and a deafening roar could be heard from time to time.

"Master, are you coming out of seclusion?"

Li Zhi stood respectfully aside, and after his hostility had dissipated, he became more gentle and elegant.

"No, the next retreat has just begun."

Shen Lian stretched out his hand and touched Li Zhi's brow. The latter's blood began to boil and there were subtle changes, but he could not detect anything unusual.

He walked slowly towards the main hall and asked, "Li Zhi, your master will probably live for more than a hundred years. I originally wanted you to practice in the Dragon Palace, but I suddenly remembered an important matter that I have not yet completed."

"Master, please tell me."

Li Zhi had no complaints at all. The more he came into contact with martial arts, the more he realized how unfathomable Shen Lian was. It was no exaggeration to say that he had become the founder of martial arts.

"I originally wanted you to practice martial arts in Dragon Palace for a hundred years, but it seems that there is no time at the moment."

"When you have cultivated to the seventh level of Dao Infant and can freely control your special abilities, go to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty and go to Lion Camel Ridge to teach."

"what?"

Li Zhi didn't understand what was going on, and Shen Lian pushed open the door of the main hall on his own.

"Someone will pick you up. Only members of your family, the Li family, can easily enter and exit Lion Camel Ridge."

Shen Lian is about to be promoted to a terrestrial immortal, but his manas has been warning him that the Little Leiyin Temple might be the most dangerous disaster he has ever encountered.

If you want to turn danger into safety, you must gather all the cards.

At that time, Senior Brother Sha imprisoned a large number of alchemists in Lion Camel Ridge. They were all able to practice martial arts and became the backbone of the fight against the Little Leiyin Temple.

"I understand, Master."

Shen Lian nodded slightly, and the door to the main hall closed.

Although he was not good at magic arrays, he had no problem setting up ordinary mid-to-low level magic arrays to conceal his energy.

Before long, a light mist enveloped the main hall.

Shen Lian spread out his palms, and the spirit transformed from the dragon fish robe kept rolling around.

"You are responsible for protecting me during my retreat. You must not slack off."

As soon as he took out the remains of Xiao Xitian, Longyupao immediately became excited, grinning and waiting for Shen Lian to feed him.

Snapped.

The remains of Xiao Xitian turned into powder and were evenly smeared on the surface of Longyupao.

A small amount of powder is used to trigger the profession of the Nine Nether Corpse.

The Buddha treasure suddenly regained its vitality, revealing dense scriptures, all of which were the middle and lower level Buddhist teachings that had been swallowed by the dragon fish robe.

With the help of the Purple Mansion Tempering Method, the Dragon Fish Robe had digested the remains in a short while.

Although it seems that there has been little change, in fact the scripture now appears to be extremely orderly, and the aura it exudes has been successfully promoted to a supreme treasure.

The Dragon Fish Robe was successfully promoted to a top-quality treasure.

The main function of the remains of Xiao Xitian is to generate wisdom, and Shen Lian is not sure about the details. However, as the Buddha's light of the Dragon Fish Robe gradually dims, the spirituality of the Buddha treasure no longer transforms into the appearance of a white-bone evil dragon.

"ah."

A little monk appeared in front of Shen Lian. He was only as tall as a palm, wearing a pure white monk robe, and a dragon horn could be seen on his forehead.

"Derived wisdom? It seems that the spirituality of the dragon fish robe is transformed into a weapon spirit."

Shen Lian touched the novice monk's head, and the latter hurriedly ran towards the pillar of the main hall, and then quietly attached himself to it, with countless scales emerging everywhere.

The dragon fish robe covered the main hall, blocking out at least eight out of ten auras.

Shen Lian felt relieved upon seeing this. He didn't have to worry about any trouble arising from breaking through the bottleneck. After all, the Five Ghost Gods would all fall into a long sleep.

"Ah~~"

"A Lian, why are you hesitating? It's not like you've become a Golden Immortal~~"

"Go! Go! Go."

Shen Lian speechlessly pushed the starling away and sat cross-legged beside the pillar.

"Once you start to be promoted, you must remember to control the counterattacks that come with the promotion. Do it slowly and don't act on your body and soul all at once."

After Shen Lian gave the instructions, he immersed himself in the practice of the Zhoutian cycle.

Regardless of before or after the catastrophe of heaven and earth, it is extremely dangerous for a human immortal to be promoted to an earthly immortal. Some cultivators retreat for hundreds of years but ultimately die.

Otherwise, the Eight Gods wouldn't be so rare.

Shen Lian was a bit of a cheater, as he relied entirely on his skills and profession to achieve his promotion, so he had to be careful with fleeting opportunities.

He continued to nurture his energy and spent six years consolidating his foundation.

The profession panel will be summoned only when the purity of the power can no longer be improved.

"coming."

Shen Lian let out a long breath.

"call."

[Should you consume 12 points to combine the Longevity Pillar and the Golden Body of Mahasthamaprapta]

[Should you consume 12 points to combine the Longevity Pillar and the Golden Body of the Bodhisattva of Removing Obstacles?]

.........

The remaining golden bodies of Buddha were integrated into the golden body of martial arts one by one. Suddenly, the Buddha light in the lower dantian increased greatly, and the seven treasures of Buddha bones also had the opportunity to transform.

The golden body of martial arts has already been perfected in the human immortal realm.

When the forty-six golden bodies of Buddha were united as one, the golden body of Wu Dao suddenly changed, and cracks appeared all over its body.

If he doesn't break through, his golden body of martial arts will collapse.

Shen Lian was neither anxious nor flustered and invested points again.

[Do you want to consume 320 points to advance to the Martial Arts Level : Glazed Pharmacist Golden Body (Perfect)]

[Do you want to consume 320 points to advance to the Martial Arts Tathagata Sakyamuni Golden Body (Perfect)]

boom.

Two lifelike Buddha statues appeared on the left and right of the golden body of Wu Dao, both of them stared at the golden body of Wu Dao with subtle eyes.

Shen Lian could feel that the two golden Buddha statues were waiting for an opportunity to turn the tables.

As long as they can swallow Sakyamuni, they can also become earthly immortals, and eventually break out of the ground, perhaps becoming two peerless demons.

Shen Lian did not give the two Buddha statues any chance to take advantage.

[Should you consume 200 points to combine the Longevity Pillar and the Tathagata Sakyamuni Golden Body?]

At the moment of confirmation, the golden body of Tathagata Sakyamuni broke into pieces, and the fragments wrapped around the golden body of Wudao, and the trend of almost collapse stopped.

[Do you want to consume 200 points to combine the Longevity Pillar and the Glazed Pharmacist's Golden Body?]

The second method of the Earthly Immortal Golden Body is integrated into the Martial Arts Golden Body.

The golden body of martial arts lay dormant in the lower dantian, motionless, and the professional panel forcibly integrated the two skills that were far superior to the Changsheng Posture.

Shen Lian felt a sharp pain in his temple, and a huge amount of noisy information kept surging.

The Changsheng Posture has undergone a complete transformation without changing the underlying framework, and even the practice at a lower level has become very different.

Shen Lian's consciousness became hazy, and he realized that the abnormality was caused by the eighth transformation of the Changsheng Pillar.

[Do you want to consume 164 points to master the indestructible body?]

Although Shen Lian had not yet mastered the Vajra Indestructible Body practice, he still reduced the points consumed.

"determine."

"I don't know if the remaining 1378 points are enough for the Vajra Indestructible Body Transformation. If not, I can wait until I advance to the fifth profession..."

Shen Lian's pupils shrank slightly and he suddenly covered his chest.

The three hearts beat wildly, draining all the blood from the body in a few breaths, and then the other organs made sounds of being overwhelmed.

"Is there any mistake?"

"My physical body is not strong enough to control the indestructible body?!!"

Shen Lian opened his mouth, and the medicinal wine poured into his stomach, which barely produced blood and restored the functioning of his internal organs. He realized that when Monkey King mastered the Vajra Indestructible Body, he must have been at least a celestial being, and he had devoured countless resources to achieve success.

It can be seen that the horror of the career panel is completely contrary to common sense.

[Do you want to consume 608 points to advance to the Martial Arts Vajra Indestructible Body (Minor Achievement)]

"continue."

Shen Lian frowned tightly, the wine in the ghost gourd dried up directly, and his flesh, blood and bones kept growing, which could not be suppressed at all.

Bang bang bang.

Flesh, blood and bones shattered and reassembled.

The indestructible body of Vajra even affects the transformation of the seven-treasure Buddha bones.

Shen Lian's points were not enough for promotion to great success, and his physical transformation had already far surpassed that of a human immortal, so he focused all his energy on the promotion of his five professions.

[Six Paths Ksitigarbha—Ksitigarbha Corpse Buddha Compatibility 98.96%]

[Eight Taotie-Ox-Faced Yin God Compatibility 91.95%]

[Unbounded Corpse Tree—Nine Nether Corpse Tree Compatibility 96.47%]

[Zhenru Tanchan-Gongde Jinchan compatibility 99.76%]

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

Shen Lian endured the turbulent state of his body and soul, and carefully scanned the career panel, then confirmed the promotion of five professions at the same time.

The next moment, the five ghost gods sank into the body.

Shen Lian lost consciousness and had only a faint sense of the outside world.

The growing flesh, blood, and bones gradually filled up the main hall, and the martial arts scriptures multiplied and flourished, with scriptures filling every corner of the hall.

Shen Lian no longer had any human form, but looked like a giant piece of flesh and blood.

However, there are mysterious patterns on the surface.

Di Ting who carries the ten kings of hell on his back; Taotie who possesses the characteristics of countless ferocious beasts; spiritual roots with endless roots; the lotus platform with twelve petals; the natural stone egg that changes constantly.

how to say.

It was as if there was a Sumeru Cave hidden inside Shen Lian's body, and the Five Ghost Gods were the peerless monsters bred within. It was hard to imagine that he was just an ordinary person in a pawnshop on earth.

As the Five Ghost Gods are promoted, prompts will appear continuously on the career panel.

The experience progress of [Martial Arts (Intermediate 79.37%)] has been increasing. It won’t be long before the Martial Arts Sutra will reach the Mahayana level.

The dragon fish robe tried its best to keep the aura of the main hall from leaking out, even if it was occasionally torn.

As time passed, the main hall became a restricted area of ​​the North Sea Dragon Palace, and strong men would kowtow and pray in front of the door every now and then.

Ten years later.

Li Zhi's talent in martial arts is indeed outstanding. His appearance is no longer seriously abnormal, and his realm has reached the seventh level of Dao Infant. He looks extremely restrained.

He left the North Sea Dragon Palace and headed to Lion Camel Ridge according to Shen Lian's instructions.

.........

The ruins of the Heavenly Palace, Shangqing Palace.

Mrs. Bones stood in front of the remains of Sun Wukong, frowning as she waited.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Gu, why did you arrange for us to meet here?"

There was a voice coming from the door. Mrs. Bai Gu opened her eyes and saw that the King of the Kingdom of Daughters, dressed as Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, had arrived at the Shangqing Palace.

Behind the King of the Kingdom of Women follows the altar cleaner with a pig's head and a human body as a woman.

"Is it because of the inspiration of a large number of warriors in the mortal world? It is said that eight ninth-level warriors were born in just one night."

Madam Bai Gu asked, "Gao Cuilan, the Ninth Realm Warrior has not been exposed, right?"

"No."

Who would have thought that the altar purifier of Xiao Leiyin Temple was actually transformed by Gao Cuilan, and their cultivation had all reached the perfect level of human immortal.

Gao Cuilan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Your junior brother is a smart man. He had already prepared a retreat. The two fish monsters sent them into the Bi Bo Lake overnight without letting the other forces notice."

"That's good."

The warriors' impulses are still continuing, as if heaven favors the Tang Dynasty. Not only is it easier to break through the realm, but the innate qualifications of newborns are also better than the previous generation.

What worries Mrs. Bai Gu the most is that the guardian gods and ghosts will no longer protect the Tang Dynasty.

Most of the banyan trees in Yanliang Town withered not long ago, and the statues related to Shen Lian also lost their function of exorcising demons.

Fortunately, Shen Lian had foresight. There were fairies and ghosts in charge of each town, plus demons such as Ghost Dad and the increasingly prosperous Jinwu Guards, so stability was barely maintained.

However, no one can guarantee that the stability of the Tang Dynasty will last forever.

Madam Bai Gu knew that there were more than 5.7 million warriors in the Tang Dynasty, and the number was increasing by tens of thousands every day.

In the eyes of various forces, warriors are consumables of blood and food for cultivation.

Once they realize that Shen Lian is no longer protecting the Tang Dynasty, the warriors will be greeted by a feast of demons and monsters dividing up the blood and food.

Madam Bai Gu and the others were unable to intervene directly. After all, on the surface they belonged to the Little Leiyin Temple, and there was an evil Buddha watching their every move.

Gao Cuilan said in a deep voice: "The statue of Sakyamuni Buddha seems to have been completed."

"kindness."

The Queen of the Kingdom of Women was named Yuping. She said anxiously, "Has the Buddha statue exposed Shen Lian's identity? Will anything happen?"

Yuping felt that she had gone too far and couldn't help coughing lightly a few times.

"It was not exposed, but I tried every possible means to move the Buddha statue, but I could not do so. I could only forcibly block the Buddha's light emanating from the statue."

Yu Ping said helplessly: "Isn't this just deceiving yourself? How can I hide this from Huang Mei Lao Yu?"

Madam Bai Gu looked outside the Shangqing Palace and replied dimly, "If all goes well, Old Man Huang Mei will have gone mad."

Gao Cuilan's smile suddenly stopped, "Where is the Halloween Dragon Girl?"

The true identity of Bodhisattva Nagarjuna is the All-Holy Dragon Girl.

They were in the same situation, and were able to enter the Little Leiyin Temple with some help from Madam Bai Gu.

Madam Bai Gu was silent for a long time, estimating the time in her heart, "I asked her to do something, I think it should be about time."

"what?"

Boom! ! !
Suddenly, a terrifying wave flashed in the depths of the Heavenly Palace ruins.

The three could feel that the flow of time deep in the ruins had become different. A few breaths in the outside world might be hundreds of years deep in the ruins.

Gao Cuilan was in a state of uncertainty, "Madam Bai Gu, you are so brave, you dare to plot against Huang Mei Lao Yu!"

"Whether it's a plot or not, Huang Mei Lao Fu will go crazy. Since the 27th year of Zhenguan, Huang Mei Lao Fu's heart has been broken."

Madam White Bone said coldly: "Even without me, in another thousand years, Old Man Yellow Eyebrows will be reduced to a sun without any intelligence."

She didn't expect Shen Lian to have the strength comparable to Huang Mei Lao Shi within four hundred years. Even if he was promoted to a terrestrial immortal, he would have no chance against Huang Mei Lao Shi who had refined the entire Tathagata Sutra.

Gao Cuilan was terrified and her chest heaved.

Yuping fell into deep thought, and the spring and river in her palm surged.

Madam Bai Gu walked out of Shangqing Palace and said, "I am not sure whether it can be done, but it can at least delay Huang Mei Lao for a while..."

Before she finished speaking, dazzling Buddha's light illuminated the ruins of the Heavenly Palace.

The sun hung abruptly in the sky, the scorching Buddha's light penetrated the thirty-three heavens, and the gaze from the Yellow-browed Old Buddha swept across all living beings.

Mrs. Bones looked shocked.

There was no more madness in the yellow-browed old man's eyes, but instead they were unusually cold.

Madam Bai Gu had an illusion that the old man with yellow eyebrows seemed to have become another person. Even though his body, soul and aura were the same, he looked extremely strange.

The Yellow-browed Old Buddha muttered to himself, his voice resounding through heaven and earth.

"Am I real or fake?"

"So that's how it is. One leaf is a bodhi tree, one flower is a world."
