I can't be a demon.

Chapter 397: The Tathagata Buddha, Only His Skin Remains
"Ancestor Bodhi?"

Shen Lian's food-replenishing ability had already detected something. That familiar aura was clearly that of Patriarch Bodhi, who was rushing here.

His relationship with Patriarch Bodhi was somewhat awkward; in fact, they had only met a few times.

"what."

Shen Lian vaguely felt that Patriarch Bodhi was in a very strange state. He might have refined the true scriptures, causing his body and soul to go astray.

The warning of the manas became subtle. Originally, the only hope for survival was the mortal world, but suddenly it was affected by Patriarch Bodhi, and all directions were no longer hopeless.

The situation is changing rapidly and any hesitation will come at a price.

While Shen Lian was in a daze, he felt a strange throbbing in the flesh on his back, and then the face of Kasyapa Buddha suddenly appeared from his body.

"Damn, so cunning."

Shen Lian cursed inwardly a few times and knew that the disappearance of Kashyapa Buddha was not a good thing.

He activated his food-replenishing ability, madly absorbing nutrients from the face. At the same time, the face was absorbing his own flesh and blood, barely maintaining a balance.

“We cannot go directly to the mortal world, otherwise Kasyapa Buddha will reach out to the Tang Dynasty.”

"Wait for Patriarch Bodhi to arrive and see how the situation changes."

Shen Lian gritted his teeth, and his flesh, blood, and bones turned into a spiritual mountain again.

After achieving the status of a celestial immortal, he himself became the immortal spirit vein, which was equivalent to a complete small world inside Shen Lian's body.

The four-kilometer-high Martial Arts Mountain stood tall on the spot, and the overwhelming martial arts scriptures surged with the blood and energy, making the area within a thousand meters scorching hot.

The true realm of martial arts was quietly revealed, resisting the erosion of Buddha's light as much as possible.

Even so, there are still pits of varying sizes on the surface of Lingshan Mountain, and blood, flesh and rocks are constantly splashing, attracting many Buddhas to collect them.

Shen Lian felt a little aggrieved, but fortunately he had a strong foundation and wouldn't be hurt in a short time.

"Master, even if you are not transcendental, you should be a Golden Immortal. Why is it so difficult to move ten thousand miles?"

Shen Lian suppressed Kasyapa Buddha's hidden hand and forcibly suppressed it with the lotus platform.

"We must find a place to retreat as soon as possible, otherwise Kasyapa Buddha will use his body to take over other people's bodies, and use some parasitic abilities."

All the martial immortals felt extremely uneasy within Shen Lian's body.

They were not clear about the situation in the outside world, but the Martial Arts Spiritual Mountain had been damaged, causing blood vessels and meridians to bleed slightly, and the scriptures to riot.

The ghost dad was muttering something in his mouth, stopping the bleeding and healing the wounds by speaking.

In the eyes of many Buddhas, the strength displayed by Shen Lian was incredible. Although he had just entered the celestial immortal realm, he was able to survive the battle between the Daluo Golden Immortals and even handle it with ease.

"interesting."

Fu Ruifu held a word of martial arts scripture in his fingertips and could feel endless mystery from it.

Despite her tens of thousands of years of practice, she was unable to fully understand the true martial arts scriptures. She only knew that the structure of the scriptures was constantly changing and improving.

It’s hard to imagine what kind of understanding it takes to achieve this.

Even the way of heaven is no more than this, right?

"Jin Chanzi, you really have a good point. The true scripture is the true scripture!"

Fu Ruifu sighed sincerely, crushed the martial arts scripture nonchalantly, then looked at Shen Lian with burning eyes, his breathing becoming more and more rapid.

This unknown scripture is nothing. Shen Lian, who created the scripture, is the most terrifying.

The gatekeeper Buddha opened the flesh on his chest and abdomen, and his intestines and stomach turned into centipedes and crawled out. Its scriptures were similar to toxins and spread on the ground.

"Hahaha, where did this extraordinary talent come from? He can actually create a true scripture!!"

"It would be a shame to eat you!!"

Buddha light spit out from Putuo Buddha's mouth, and all the martial arts scriptures within a hundred meters were gathered in his palm. Then a second head grew out of his neck and swallowed it in one gulp.

The extra head exploded, but Putuo Buddha laughed in surprise.

The Great Compassionate Buddha continued to chant sutras, and his boundless Buddha light blocked off the other Buddhas.

"Let me see the true sutra first, and then it won't be too late to share it with my fellow practitioners."

The Giant Buddha sneered and rushed towards Shen Lian using his powerful body. "What kind of truth is that? Why don't you hand it over to the Three Buddhas and see if they are willing to share it with you?"

Ksitigarbha Buddha remained silent, and no longer held back in his movements.

They killed each other but could not completely kill each other. Before long, the surroundings were a sea of ​​blood and corpses, covered with minced meat.

Shen Lian was shocked when he saw the many Buddhas who looked like demons and monsters. "What a bunch of psychopaths! Is the Paradise really called Arkham?"

"Hey hey hey..."

At this moment, an old man's laughter sounded in my ears.

Shen Lian recognized it was Patriarch Bodhi. He had not yet arrived, but the madness mixed in his words was completely comparable to that of the Buddhas.

He looked around at the situation that had gotten out of control, and endured the Buddha's light in a miserable state.

Various true scriptures emerged one after another. As the center of the incident, Shen Lian had no way to avoid it and had no choice but to release the Dragon Fish Robe.

The dragon fish robe blends into the mountain, and a scale pattern is formed on the surface of the rock wall.

The corrosiveness of the Buddha's light was reduced by 30%, and Shen Lian's pressure was relieved a lot. He used his concentration to suppress the face of Kasyapa Buddha into the lotus platform bit by bit.

A large number of burning gazes were cast over, and the movements of many Buddhas stopped for two or three breaths.

"An acquired thing?!"

The giant Buddha was shocked. Ever since the catastrophe between heaven and earth, most artifacts were no longer adapted to the existing laws of nature. It was obvious at a glance that the dragon and fish robe was something that had been developed in the last thousand years.

"What a holy monk! He actually has an acquired gift!"

The pupils of the Great Compassionate Buddha shrank to the size of a pinhole. "I'm afraid it must be the blessing of the old heaven. Otherwise, why would they be so kind to me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, many Buddhas began to breathe rapidly.

They became more fanatical about Shen Lian, and their greed was beyond words. The remains of his body and flesh alone could not satisfy their desire.
Once it swallows Shen Lian, it might be able to inherit his fortune.

puff.

The Buddha's light shuttled around Shen Lian's body, and his internal organs felt as if they were almost breaking apart, and his qi and blood, which were originally one in his body, also began to fall apart.

He smiled bitterly, how could he look like a celestial being?

“Are you here?!!”

Suddenly, the land where Shen Lian was standing expanded in all directions, and many Buddhas were pulled hundreds of miles away, and they had not yet reacted.

Rumble.

"A small cave!"

Shen Lian looked up belatedly, only to see Patriarch Bodhi appear.

He looked astonished. Patriarch Bodhi's current state was too strange, even the many Buddhas who had refined the scriptures could not compare to him.

Patriarch Bodhi drilled out of the soil in the same way plants grow.

His lower body has merged with the Paradise, with the most original scriptures engraved inside and outside, while the upper body remains intact.

"Master...master."

For some reason, Shen Lian recalled the Lingshan Heavenly Dao that he had once visualized.

Patriarch Bodhi looks somewhat similar, like a branch of the Lingshan Heavenly Dao, and his expression reveals an unfathomable complexity.

Shen Lian suspected that Patriarch Bodhi's cultivation at this time had reached the same level as the Three Buddhas.

Many Buddhas were in a dilemma. The oppressive feeling brought by Patriarch Bodhi seemed real. On the contrary, the Mingguang Buddha in the corner had an excited expression.

It had been a long time since the Buddha Mingguang received the teachings from the ancient Buddha Dipankara.

The ancient Buddha Dipankara asked him to stop Patriarch Bodhi and even abandon Shen Lian.

The Buddha of Bright Light looked towards the west with foresight. The clouds of fire continued to spread, as if the sky of the Pure Land had been set on fire.

"Randeng... Buddha has arrived?"

He knew that the ancient Buddha Dipankara was trapped in the center of the Paradise and it was very difficult for him to descend to the periphery. The price he would pay would be far beyond ordinary.

"Why is Bodhi Patriarch more important than the holy monk?"

Crash.

The fire clouds surged in waves, the temperature rose to the point of distorting the air, and the nearby grass, trees, and rocks melted like candles.

"Bodhi Patriarch!"

Mingguang Buddha took the initiative to step forward and wanted to stop Patriarch Bodhi.

Patriarch Bodhi didn't even look at him and waved his hand, causing Mingguang Buddha to fly backwards for hundreds of miles, his body almost falling apart, and then he reached out and put Shen Lian into his sleeve. Many Buddhas were caught off guard, but they didn't dare to step forward and die.

"A small cave."

Patriarch Bodhi murmured again, and as he took a step towards the west, his figure seemed to cross a hundred thousand miles and disappeared in an instant.

Many Buddhas fled in all directions, fearing that they would incur the wrath of the ancient Buddha Dipankara.

.........

A vast mustard seed-sized space formed inside the sleeves of Patriarch Bodhi.

There was nothing inside except Shen Lian sitting cross-legged. Even the concept of time had been erased, which was creepy.

Shen Lian was unaware of Patriarch Bodhi's malicious intent, so he took the time to stabilize his injuries.

If you ignore it, your realm will fall.

Kasyapa Buddha's face was full of gnashing teeth and he let out a shrill scream. Not only Liantai, but the other guardian ghosts and gods had also joined in.

"Disciple."

"Disciple!!"

Shen Lian opened his eyes, and the murmur of Bodhi Patriarch was heard in the mustard seed space.

"My every move is monitored by the scriptures."

Shen Lian's scalp tingled, and he was about to ask Patriarch Bodhi, but the latter took the initiative to say, "I chose to join the Lingshan Heavenly Dao because I wanted to learn about the latest situation of the Heaven and Earth Calamity."

"Master, what happened to Tiandao?"

"Corrupt! Not only is the Paradise corrupt, the Three Realms are corrupt, even the Heavenly Dao is corrupt!!"

Patriarch Bodhi murmured the word "rotten" and ignored Shen Lian.

Shen Lian confirmed the existence of the connection between the banyan tree and the mortal world, so he simply began to practice in the mustard seed space to avoid irreversible damage to his foundation.

As he went into seclusion, the aura he emitted became turbid.

"Gah~~"

"Master Ba is so bored~~"

The mynah bird slowly emerged from Shen Lian's flesh. After becoming a celestial being, it looked nothing like him on the outside, but its talkativeness remained the same.

Then shadow-shaped bone blades flowed out from the blood vessels and meridians.

The banyan tree continued to parasitize on Shen Lian's spine, but its branches grew, giving Shen Lian a touch of green on his head.

The stone egg turned into a long snake and coiled around Shen Lian's right arm.

Shen Lian summoned the career panel, and a series of prompts appeared.

[Six Paths Ten Cycles promoted to Six Paths Samsara, martial arts points +500]

[Eight Ancestral Beasts promoted to Original Ancestral Beasts, Martial Arts Points +500]

[Unbounded Spiritual Roots are promoted to Jade Morning Spiritual Roots, Martial Arts Points +500]

[Innate Blood Lotus is promoted to Universal Blood Lotus, martial arts points +500]

[Tianyi Fetal Heart is promoted to Wanhua Lingtai, martial arts points +500]

After the five professions were promoted to the eighth level, according to the demons, their cultivation had exceeded 100,000 years, and they had also successfully refined the martial arts scriptures.

Shen Lian glanced at the five ghost gods and saw complicated scriptures filling both inside and outside.

All the supernatural powers are as easy to use as the fingers of one's arms.

The reason why Shen Lian followed Patriarch Bodhi into the paradise was because he could communicate with the banyan tree and go to the mortal world with just a thought.

He closed his eyes and examined himself, immediately noticing the difference.

First of all, the immortal soul disappeared.

"I've never heard of a person becoming a celestial being and then having their soul and body merge into one."

Not only is the body and soul integrated, but the strength also becomes inseparable from the qi and blood, and even the golden body of martial arts has completely become a part of the physical body.

Shen Lian restrained his breath and recovered to the size of an ordinary person from the Martial Arts Spiritual Mountain which was over 4,000 meters high.

The martial immortals also shrunk accordingly. Although their organs seemed to be almost the same as those of ordinary people, in fact, each of them contained a small world.

From Wu Xian's perspective, the small world of internal organs is more suitable than the cave.

After all, the small world of organs is filled with martial arts scriptures, and practicing martial arts can be twice as effective with half the effort, but the barren land of flesh and blood needs to be redeveloped.

Shen Lian felt somewhat uncomfortable watching his relatives and friends building a temple inside their internal organs.

The mynah bird looked down upon Shen Lian and landed on his head to declare its status.

Shen Lian was too lazy to pay attention to the starling. He controlled the martial arts scriptures to overflow from his palm. After the true scriptures broke through to perfection, he became obviously more agile.

【Shen Lian】

[Realm: Celestial Immortal]

[True Scripture: Martial Arts (Best 0.47%)]

[Martial Arts: Unknown Kung Fu (The body possesses a sacred mountain), Purple Mansion Weapon Tempering Method (The mind is as sharp as a torch)]

[Eighth-level occupation: Wanhua Spirit Embryo]

.........

It is normal that the Heavenly Immortal Realm does not have specific small realm divisions. However, Shen Lian has taken a completely different path that cannot be divided into conventional realms.

What surprised Shen Lian was that the eighth-level profession no longer showed experience.

If he had not been able to feel that the Five Ghost Gods' cultivation was increasing, albeit slightly, he would have thought that it was limited by the profession panel.

"I have achieved the status of a celestial being, but I still can't figure out the reality of the occupation panel. It feels like the Five Ghost Gods didn't appear to be born out of thin air."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes. His injuries were almost healed at this time.

While he was thinking, a hurricane suddenly arose from the outside world.

"Disciple, don't resist."

Shen Lian didn't dare to be careless and maintained communication with the banyan tree at all times.

The dazzling Buddha's light is coming towards you.

Patriarch Bodhi motioned Shen Lian to look at the ground, only to see that the ground was inlaid with distorted facial features, and the span of the face was at least ten thousand meters.

Shen Lian recognized him at a glance; it was Sakyamuni Tathagata.

The rest of the Buddha was buried deep underground, but it didn't seem like it was intentional, but rather like it was gradually being eaten away by the Paradise.

Shen Lian was so shocked that he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"We finally meet, my friend."

Shen Lian's eyes felt stinging, and the sound almost pierced through his eardrums, which were as precious as treasures.

The Tathagata Buddha laughed, and the Buddha's light penetrated Shen Lian's middle dantian. The remaining hidden hand of the Mingguang Buddha was instantly reduced to ashes.

Shen Lian got goosebumps as he had no reaction to the attack from Tathagata Buddha.

"Hehehe."

The Buddha smiled happily, with all his facial features wrinkled.

"Don't be afraid. I am just an old shell left in Paradise."

Shen Lian was stunned for a moment, then nervously grabbed the bone blade at his waist. After careful observation, he found that what Buddha said was true.

It wasn't a body that was being devoured by Paradise at all.

But...

The thin skin of Tathagata Buddha was spread flat on the ground.

Isn’t this the way of the Three Pure Ones?
The bodies of the Three Pure Ones are independent and inseparable from the way of heaven, and the body of Tathagata Buddha is even endowed with spiritual intelligence.

It is hard to imagine where the real body of Tathagata Buddha that emerged from the old shell is?
