I can't be a demon.

Chapter 392: Turning into a sacred mountain does not hinder my escape
It is said that the Three Buddhas are located at the center of the Pure Land, but few Buddhas have reached it.

The land of the ancient Buddha Dipamkara is called "Fenjing Mountain", which literally means a burning mountain, but in fact it is an endless desert in perpetual daylight.

There is no grass or trees in the desert, but there is a dilapidated temple standing out.

Gurgle…Gurgle…Gurgle…

An inexplicable sound came from the temple, like the stomach making wind due to extreme hunger, or like swallowing saliva due to greed.

Snapped.

The wooden door was pushed open.

But I heard a hoarse voice mumbling.

"Oh?"

"Another pilgrim has come from the Eastern Tang Dynasty to seek Buddhist scriptures. Could it be related to the holy monk?"

The old man staggered out of the temple. He looked to weigh at least four or five hundred pounds, and the old robes he was wearing were obviously no longer suitable for him.

His right foot was deformed and shrunken, and his left and right hands twitched from time to time.

"Cough cough cough."

"I haven't been out for a long time, but the sun in Paradise is still so dazzling."

The old monk held a lantern in his hand, which was hanging tremblingly on the eaves in front of the door. Then he sat on the stairs, squinting his eyes and looking at the desert in the distance.

There are dozens of lanterns on the eaves of the temple, all made of rice paper.

Through craftsmanship, the lanterns are painted like living human heads, with the facial features outlined vividly, and the images are almost all immortals and Buddhas from past dynasties.

There is even a lantern in the corner that looks like Sun Wukong.

The lanterns emitted a faint light, attracting countless insects to cling to their surface. If you didn't look closely, you would think they were flies licking a human head.

The old monk exclaimed in amazement: "It's indescribable, indescribable."

"Could it be that this is the true scripture that the holy monk mentioned? Given the time, the so-called true scripture should indeed be released. Interesting."

"Martial Arts Scripture."

"Neither Taoism nor Buddhism, the true scriptures are actually based on the mundane world."

The old monk nodded and said, "He is like Jin Chanzi, and can be called a holy monk. I admire him."

When the ancient Buddha Dipankara spoke to this point, his words became sharp.

"Saint monk, why did you choose a mortal? And not an immortal or Buddha?"

"The common people in the East are ignorant and confused, and cannot read the wordless scriptures. Isn't it a waste of the holy monk's journey?"

He staggered to his feet, his breathing became heavy, his abdomen made gurgling sounds, and the kind-hearted Buddha image he had previously had was gone.

"Instead of giving it to mortals, it is better to give the true scriptures to me."

"I am the one who lights the lamp!!!"

The ancient Buddha Dipankara roared madly, and cracks spread across the ground, as if an indescribable monster was buried at the bottom of the burning mountain.

At this moment, the clouds within a radius of thousands of miles dissipated.

The ancient Buddha Dipankara regained his smiling expression and stood motionless in front of the door.

There were dozens of eyes opened above his head, each a thousand meters in size, all staring at the ancient Buddha Dipankara, obviously monitoring him.

The pupil itself is made up of countless insect compound eyes.

It reflects the colorful Buddha light, like a sparkling gem.

After a moment, the pupils saw that the ancient Buddha Dipankara was no longer mad, and they disappeared one by one.

"Buddha cannot save himself, holy monk, I am waiting for you to save me."

The ancient Buddha Dipankara grabbed a handful of insects from the lantern and threw them out of the temple. The insects grew thousands of times in the wind and turned into Buddha.

The Buddhas prostrated themselves before the ancient Buddha Dipamkara, lowering their heads humbly.

"Buddha Mingguang, you and the other bodhisattvas bring the holy monk to the east. The sacred mountain with four limbs you see is the holy monk."

"The disciple understands."

Mingguang Buddha kowtowed repeatedly, and then his height suddenly increased to over two hundred meters.

His characteristic is still that the insect is bigger than the Buddha. He opens his mouth and spits out a ball of light, forming an eight-level lotus platform over a hundred meters long that supports the Buddhas.

In an instant, the lotus platform turned into a shadow and disappeared.

.........

at the same time.

The Martial Arts Spiritual Mountain has been moving westward for more than thirty years.

What shocked Brother Sha was that the Martial Arts Mountain was actually growing all the time, and before he knew it, the altitude had reached 1,400 meters.

With the addition of the banyan tree that reaches into the sky, the Wudao Mountain is far superior to other sacred mountains.

The temple has also been expanded many times, with a total of two to three thousand buildings stacked one on top of the other. Countless pilgrims can be seen coming to worship the Martial Ancestor in their dreams.

The name of Baiyujing has become widely known among the mortals.

At the same time, the number of martial immortals who settled in Lingshan exceeded two hundred, mainly because the promotion of the martial arts scriptures led to a surge in the number of martial arts geniuses.

There are many warriors who have completed the nine realms before the age of a hundred, and some have even achieved human immortality.

Each of the martial immortals is a genius who suppresses the contemporary, but they are doing some odd jobs on the Martial Arts Mountain, but they have no complaints at all.

After all, they knew that the Wudao Lingshan was transformed by the Wuzu! !

The martial immortals of Zuo Yan's generation were slightly better, as later martial immortals had never come into contact with Shen Lian. The experiences of the Martial Ancestor had been passed down orally, and he had already been deified in the mortal world, and was worshipped by every household.

As the immortals flew up to the sky, their reverence in their hearts grew stronger.

On the one hand, as long as they are within the scope of the Martial Arts Mountain, their cultivation will be able to soar and all difficulties in cultivation will be easily solved. More than one person believes that it was the guidance of the Martial Ancestor in their dreams.

On the other hand, Shen Lian's retreat is also to open up a new path forward.

Once you come out of seclusion, the end of the martial arts is no longer earthly immortal, but celestial immortal!

Even in the old heaven, the status of celestial immortals has surpassed that of 90% of immortals, and there are only a few who have gone one step further and become Daluo Golden Immortals.

Boom~~

The sound of the bell echoed up and down Lingshan Mountain, and it suddenly became noisy.

The martial immortals rushed to specific places to garrison in an orderly manner without any panic, and soon a large magic formation covered the Wudao Lingshan.

In the distance, another sacred mountain is approaching.

Lingshan is extremely strange, like a wriggling living meat, with blood vessels and meridians covered on the surface, and various internal organs exposed.

The sound of sutras being chanted in unclear tones could be heard coming from inside the mountain.

"Mountain Buddha!"

Some martial immortals who had just ascended to the Martial Arts Spiritual Mountain were terrified when they saw this. They had already heard the rumors about the Mountain Buddha and could not help but feel horrified.

Usually, Lingshan can only travel after completing the pupalization. Martial Arts Lingshan can avoid it in advance, but there are always special situations.

When the Buddha fails to transform into a chrysalis, he is likely to be stuck in a state of rebirth and unable to extricate himself.

This type of sacred mountain is equivalent to a monk who has gone astray and is unable to transform normally, and the Buddha's soul is suffering endless torture.

Mountain Buddha is actually more appropriately called Mountain Ghost.

Nine out of ten mountain Buddhas are crazy and will only keep looking for food. Now the huge Wudao Lingshan is the best target.

"Be on guard at all times! Don't let your guard down!!"

"All martial immortals, listen up, this mountain Buddha has decayed and can be killed!!!"

Senior Brother Sha, who took over the charge of all martial immortals on behalf of Shen Lian, repeatedly stressed that the Paradise was extremely dangerous. No matter what the purpose of the incoming forces was, all approaching sacred mountains must be on high alert.

Over the past thirty years, they have encountered the Mountain Buddha four times.

We failed to win the favor in the first three rounds, and it was only with the help of Senior Brother Sha, who was at the celestial immortal level, that we were able to barely repel the enemy. Fortunately, no casualties were caused.

"eat!"

The mountain Buddha roared and rushed towards the Martial Arts Spiritual Mountain, his festering body oozing pus and blood.

When the two sacred mountains collided heavily, the air waves swept across thousands of miles.

The martial arts spirit mountain shook, and his limbs could not keep balance and he fell to the ground.
The martial immortals soared into the sky, and while protecting the large magic circle, a martial arts golden body appeared behind them, launching a counterattack against the mountain Buddha.

Senior Brother Sha occasionally intervened and used the mountain Buddha to train the martial immortals.

The mountain Buddha does not have the great magical powers of the Buddha, and there are continuous collapses of flesh and blood and rocks, which cause the roots of the banyan tree to send the rocks into the furnace for digestion. Wu Xian cooperates tacitly, and uses various magic weapons with ease.

The fighting lasted for half a year.

With previous experience and the mountain Buddha on the verge of collapse, the warriors took the initiative to attack and break up the giant corpse that was over a hundred meters long.

They knew that the mountain Buddha could provide nutrients for Wu Zu's retreat.

Ignoring the pungent stench, they carried the organs taken out of the mountain Buddha.

It took three or four months to completely remove the mountain Buddha, which attracted more than a dozen waves of fake Buddhas, but they all became corpses in the end.

The Wudao Lingshan swallowed up the mountain Buddha and its size increased by another hundred meters.

Senior Brother Sha could feel that the five guardian ghosts had become active, which meant that even though Shen Lian had not yet ended his retreat, he had regained some consciousness.

He looked at the unprecedented scale of the Martial Arts Mountain and was secretly amazed.

"How strange! Why would a celestial being turn into such a sacred mountain? This is totally unheard of. Even now I feel terrified when I stare at it for a long time."

"Well."

Senior Brother Sha showed a look of joy, and his immortal soul sensed a flash of blood and energy passing by.

"Junior brother, are you awake? But pupation is probably far from the limit."

He did not disturb Shen Lian, but picked up a broom to clean up the fallen leaves in front of the main hall door. Projections from mortals' dreams passed by.

.........

As soon as Shen Lian regained consciousness, he immediately understood his current situation.

"It's difficult. The foundation I laid previously was too strong. It will take a huge amount of nutrients to achieve a perfect promotion to a celestial being. It will take a long time."

Shen Lian can break through Lingshan Mountain and achieve the realm of celestial immortal at any time.

But the more pupae the accumulation is, the more benefits one will gain from being promoted to a celestial being.

Shen Lian could no longer estimate how terrifying his own Heavenly Fairyland was. Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to successfully hatch from the Lingshan insect pupa.

He couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and his manas was also giving out frantic warnings.

"Damn it, I'm already 1,500 meters away. There's no way that old ghost Ran Deng didn't notice anything. Something big is bound to happen next!"

Shen Lian has one foot in the realm of immortal, and can better appreciate the specialness of the martial arts scriptures.

He is not of the same kind as the Three Buddhas at all.

Instead, they seem to be natural enemies.

The Three Buddhas were like carnivorous insects. In their eyes, Shen Lian was no different from fish on a chopping board and could be manipulated at will.

But as long as Shen Lian is given enough time to grow, the food chain relationship will be reversed.

It is neither reasonable nor moral for the three Buddhas to allow themselves to continue practicing.

Even if Shen Lian escaped to the mortal world it would be of no avail. The Three Buddhas just could not leave the center of the Pure Land, but that did not mean they had no other means. The warning from the manas proved that the ancient Buddha Dipankara had already made his move.

"no!"

“Even if you turn back and flee, it’s only a matter of time before you run into the minions of the Ancient Buddha Dipankara. It’s even possible that the Three Buddhas will come together to siege you.”

"We must find a way to end the pupation as soon as possible."

While Shen Lian was thinking, he distracted himself by checking his career panel.

As soon as the career panel is called out, you will receive a flood of prompts.

[Unbounded Spiritual Root Experience +3.97%]

[Six Paths and Ten Wheels experience +2.47%]

[Experience of Eight Ancestral Beasts +3.05%]

[Innate Blood Lotus Experience +2.85%]

.........

He noticed belatedly that the experience that the mountain ghost could provide was extremely rich, and the experience progress of the five ghost gods had actually improved significantly.

Come to think of it, the mountain Buddha, as a Buddha in the form of a chrysalis who has gone astray, can in some sense be regarded as a demon from the paradise.

The shortcut he wanted to end his pupation suddenly came into view.

"Mountain Buddha..."

Shen Lian's eyes flickered, and a bold idea emerged in his heart.

Hunting mountain Buddhas is definitely unrealistic. You may not encounter one even after several years, and there is no regular pattern in the areas where mountain Buddhas move around.

How about mass-producing a batch of mountain Buddhas?
Once Shen Lian had the idea, he could no longer control it.

"Why hesitate? At worst, I can be born early!"

"The old ghost Ran Deng can no longer hold back. If I don't make a move, won't it seem like I'm a coward? That won't happen. I have to make trouble!"

Shen Lian glanced at the profession panel and after seeing the experience progress of the five professions, he became more and more convinced that Mountain Buddha was the shortcut to practice.

【Shen Lian】

[Realm: Earthly Immortal (Perfection)]

[True Scripture: Martial Arts (Mahayana 100%)]

[Martial Arts: Longevity Posture (Martial Arts Immortal Seed), Immortal Mysterious Art (Immortal Martial Ancestor), Purple Mansion Weapon Tempering Method (Mind Like a Torch), Vajra Indestructible Body II, III, IV, V (Perfection)]

【Points: 1546】

[Seventh-level occupation: Unbounded Spiritual Roots (20.21%)]

[Seventh-level occupation: Innate Blood Lotus (21.58%)]

[Seventh-level occupation: Tianyi Taixin (19.34%)

.........

The seventh-level profession can obtain up to 100 points each time, so Shen Lian is no longer in financial difficulty.

"I have now become a martial arts master, and most of my skills are unavailable to me. It is better to continue stacking armor and practicing horizontally!"

[Do you want to consume 35 points to combine the Immortal Mystical Art and the Vajra Indestructible Body II?]

[Do you want to consume 35 points to combine the Immortal Mystical Art and the Vajra Indestructible Body III?]

[Do you want to consume 35 points to combine the Immortal Mystical Art and the Vajra Indestructible Body?]

.........

Shen Lian trembled all over, and countless pieces of rubble rolled down the cliff.

The gravel is equivalent to the flakes of flesh and blood, reflecting the increasing strength of the body. The originally crystal clear mountain has a metallic luster.

The only benefit of Shen Lian using his food-replenishing magical power to transform into a martial arts spiritual mountain is that the power of the five professions' magical powers has increased to a certain extent.

He immediately sensed a familiar smell in the chassis of the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp.

"That smell belongs to Senior Brother Xiao Bailong. He has already gone deep into the Paradise. He should have his own plans. He doesn't need to join in the fun."

"The smells of several senior sisters are all in Maitreya territory, so their lives are safe for the time being."

"I can't hear any news about Patriarch Bodhi. I wonder where he has gone?"

"I found the ghost daddy!!"

Shen Lian raised his limbs and set out on the road again towards Wudao Lingshan, but no longer heading due west, but southwest, heading straight to where Ghost Dad was.

He could sense that there were many sacred mountains near Ghost Dad, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Although the pursuit of the old ghost Ran Deng will take some time, we must speed up."

Shen Lian merged with the Five Ghost Gods and was able to use their abilities to the extent possible. He then communicated with the stone egg, and the Martial Arts Spirit Mountain underwent a dramatic change.

bang bang bang! ! !
A crack extended at the bottom of the mountain, and then two giant feet appeared.

Shen Lian ran wildly, his every move revealed the true meaning of martial arts, and his steps seemed to be carried by a strong wind.

"By the way, Ghost Dad's aura is extremely strong."

"He was only a human immortal a hundred years ago. Could it be that he is already... a celestial immortal?!!"
