In the heavens, people become emperors by being bad.

Chapter 597 [Boring, I want to see rivers of blood]

Qin Yao is Yan Ruyu's attendant. With the rise of the demon race, the demon princess attained sainthood and wielded the Chaos Green Lotus Emperor Weapon. This female demon's status rose accordingly, and she had no shortage of cultivation resources. Now she is a powerful figure in the Sendai Secret Realm.

Don't underestimate a powerful being just because he's inconspicuous on Mount Sumeru and can't even get a lotus platform in the Great Thunderclap Temple, where he's just a lowly novice doing odd jobs. But in the outside world, he's a holy master who commands respect in his region.

Even the once-powerful Nangong Yubo, who aspired to become an immortal, was merely a great man.

In the ancient era of immortals, those who were already in the second stage of the game could ascend to the immortal realm and become one of the legendary 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals.

"You can arrange this matter." Lin Xian nodded in agreement. Although he was known as the Envoy of the Azure Emperor, he knew nothing about the demon race, just like Ye Fan, the Heavenly Xuan Saint Lord, whose title was merely honorary.

“In the past, when you were not around, I handled all the affairs of the demon race. Although the great demons respected me as their princess, in their hearts, you, the quasi-emperor, were the backbone.”

Yan Ruyu brushed her fingertips across the white lotus pattern on her sleeve, a smile playing on her lips as she said, "Neither I nor the demon race can do without you. Let's stamp this document and use this opportunity to inform all the realms that the demon race has a master."

"As expected of a descendant of the Azure Emperor, what a beautiful green lotus flower..." Wanlongnu glanced at her and thought to herself. As an ancient princess, she had truly ruled the universe and was used to being arrogant. Unlike Yan Ruyu, whose family had fallen on hard times and who had experienced a life of wandering, she could not say such things.

Lin Xian was in a moment of embarrassment. He claimed to be the incarnation of the Azure Emperor, but he had never even touched the Jade Seal of the Demon Court. Now he was in Mount Sumeru, surrounded by bald monks, and there was no dragon seal. So he simply scooped a lotus seed out of the Merit Pool and used it as a seal.

Firstly, it aligns with the style of the Azure Lotus lineage; secondly, the merit lotus seeds have the effect of increasing aptitude, giving ordinary cultivators a glimmer of hope for breaking through to the Dao.

"Then I thank you on Qin Yao's behalf." Yan Ruyu chuckled softly, then seemingly casually turned her head and asked, "Did the Dragon Maiden's family send any envoys? Now that the Great Sage Qianlun is in charge..."

"This Dragon Nest belongs to my father's imperial court, so I naturally have the authority to make decisions." The Dragon Girl said coldly, her face as cold as ice, "Let Kun Kun go, Heavenly Court envoy."

“Kun Kun…” Lin Xian frowned, suddenly feeling that the name sounded somewhat familiar, and couldn’t help but ask, “Is this the envoy? Have I seen him before?”

“Not only you have seen him, but Emperor Ye has also seen him.” The Dragon Girl said calmly, “When you first saw the Myriad Dragon Nest, he was the one who led the way for you. He is the younger brother of the Great Sage Qianlun, also known as Kunlun.”

"So it was him." Lin Xian suddenly realized, clapped her hands, and then sighed, "The world is going to the dogs, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. I didn't expect Ye Fan to have this kind of taste. Tsk tsk, I never would have guessed."

"This is a legitimate envoy," the Dragon Girl said calmly.

“A proper envoy, of course.” Lin Xian’s expression turned solemn. Then he thought carefully. The Buddhist sect, the demon race, and the dragon race had all sent people. A few more wouldn’t make a difference. He might as well just take over the whole thing.

So Lin Xian picked a few Bodhi leaves and, in his capacity as the Devouring Heaven Dao Master and a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, sent letters to the Ji family, the Yao Guang Holy Land, and other forces, saying that since the Heavenly Court had moved into the Holy City, all races should send envoys to be stationed there.

Boring! I want to see rivers of blood!
Ye Fan, who was sitting cross-legged in the Holy City, observing the Void Emperor Mark, suddenly shivered, feeling a strange sense of foreboding.

After writing the last Bodhi leaf, Lin Xian suddenly changed his writing style, altered the name, and invited Shakyamuni to go up Mount Sumeru again!

"finally come!"

The Buddhist bodhisattvas, Dharma protectors, and several ancient Buddhas were immediately invigorated, realizing that the foreplay was over and the real climax was about to begin.

Shakyamuni is the demonic shell of Amitabha Buddha, and holds a very special position on Mount Sumeru. He was expelled in the past, and his return now will surely cause confusion in the doctrine.

"Today, I, Lin Xian, have attained enlightenment at Mount Sumeru, and have been granted the three Buddha positions: the Buddha of the past, the Buddha of the present, and the Buddha of the future. The foundation of Buddhism in the world is now established. I can be reincarnated, I can be reborn, and I can be the supreme Buddha!" ​​Lin Xian declared decisively. From this day forward, the teachings of Mount Sumeru will no longer exclusively honor Amitabha Buddha, but rather the three incarnations.

Amitabha Buddha, the Great Emperor, split into three: the body of faith in the past, the body of reincarnation in the present, and the body of enlightenment in the future.

The position of the Buddha of the past cannot be changed; it is the body of Amitabha Buddha's faith. However, the positions of the Buddha of the present and the Buddha of the future are left vacant.

However… Buddhism now has not only two quasi-emperors, Lin Xian and Shakyamuni, but also the Victorious Fighting Buddha!
For a moment, many holy monks turned their gaze to the old monkey, wanting to ask the Victorious Fighting Buddha for his opinion. He had been the abbot of the Great Thunder Temple for many years, and naturally had many disciples and followers, as well as a group of supporters.

With three quasi-emperors and two honorary positions, how should they be divided? Just when the monks thought that the Fighting Holy Ape had an explosive temper and would fight a great battle with Shakyamuni,

The Victorious Fighting Buddha clasped his hands together and said calmly, "Then let us follow the words of the Future Buddha and invite Shakyamuni to ascend Mount Sumeru."

Lin Xian glanced sideways, his expression strange. The words "Victorious Fighting Buddha passed the throne to Shakyamuni" sounded so awkward, almost contrary to the natural order.

"As for Fellow Daoist Lin, you have now attained the quasi-Emperor level of Dao, and your Dao achievements are extraordinary. Would you be willing to discuss the Dao with this old monk?"

The Victorious Fighting Buddha's fiery eyes ignited a fighting spirit, and he actually wanted to fight Lin Xian.

"What? I'm fighting the Victorious Fighting Buddha? Will I win?"

Not only were the monks of Mount Sumeru making a fuss, but Lin Xian was also somewhat surprised. However, he still agreed, but he had a question: "When the Victorious Fighting Buddha fought with Gu Tianshu, did he know where this senior went?"

When the Great Sage of the Human Race, Gu Tianshu, mentioned this name, the Victorious Fighting Buddha pondered for a moment and slowly said, "He traveled far into the starry sky, it seems he went to the Gouchen Ancient Star Region."

"Gouchen Ancient Star!"

Lin Xian's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He had sought out Gu Tianshu to inquire about the details of the Great Emperor Wushi and the Undying Emperor, but Gu Tianshu was on Gouchen Star, which reminded him of something.

Tongtian, Ziwei, Amitabha, Yuhua, Gouchen, Feixian, Yongheng... These stars have illustrious reputations, having produced either supreme beings or great emperors.

The ancient star Gouchen was no exception; there was a Gouchen Emperor who seemed to be the human emperor who had been lying dormant in the primordial ancient mine.

In the days that followed, Lin Xian and the Victorious Fighting Buddha sparred and discussed the Dao in the starry sky. The battle between the two quasi-emperors made the cultivators of all races tremble with fear, as if a knife was hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any moment.

As time passed, with the guidance of the Victorious Fighting Buddha, Lin Xian's Quasi-Emperor realm gradually stabilized. Then, he couldn't wait to experiment with the sacrificial method, wanting to learn the realm leap he had experienced during the Great Sage's time.

Use forbidden techniques to gain combat power, and then return to cultivate forbidden techniques once you reach a certain level.

The Bodhi tree swayed, its verdant greenness almost dripping. This new tree was already sixteen feet tall, bathed in the Buddha's light. Lin Xian sat cross-legged under the tree, trying to comprehend the Dao and break through his limitations.

There's another long update coming up, so please read it tomorrow morning. Don't stay up late!
