Great Lord: Buddha has mercy on us, evil spirits please stay away

Chapter 426: Lingshan Talk, Master (Part )

Returning to Daling Mountain with a brand new identity, Ye Kong felt very complicated and felt like he had come here for nothing.

Before entering the mountain, he was cautious for two reasons:

First, before this, evil monks from nearly a hundred continents surrounding the Holy Buddha Continent gathered at the Great Spiritual Mountain, among them were a large number of supreme masters, and a bloody battle was inevitable.

Second, they discovered a powerful mountain protection formation on the outer layer of Daling Mountain. Lord Lu saw thousands of formations at a glance, including soul-bewitching formations, sealing formations, illusion formations, and everything else.

After entering the mountain, he discovered that in the Daling Mountain which stretches for millions of miles, there were only two living people - Shi Zhen and Shi Luo.

Traces of blood arrays could be seen everywhere between the mountains and ravines, and the bodies of monks and nuns were piled up everywhere. There were more than a hundred Heavenly Supremes. Ye Kong took the intelligence book given by the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion and checked them one by one. More than 95% of the escaped Heavenly Supremes were here.

The less than half-complete Tian Zhizun had already been killed on the way Ye Kong and others came.

In other words, Shi Zhen and Shi Luo had done the job for them, and all the Heavenly Supremes from dozens of surrounding continents who dared to come to Daling Mountain for refuge had been wiped out.

Those below the level of Saints are all ants. Shi Zhen is in the middle stage of Saint level, has a Saint level body, and has the advantage of being at home. Even if more than a hundred Heavenly Supremes rush at him, they will be killed by him without leaving a single one.

Lingshan Grand Stage, if you miss, come here!
Seeing this result, many people including Ye Kong fell silent. If you do this, it seems that people like us are redundant!

I thought it was a big fight between good and evil, but in the end, the cult leader turned against them? And he even took the heads of his followers as a token of his loyalty?

The most outrageous thing is that even the disciples inside Daling Mountain have disappeared. Qin Tian and the Great Ape King took a look and found that among the corpses of those Heavenly Supremes, there are more than ten great monks from Daling Mountain, and their deaths were very miserable.

Judging from his actions, he was killed by a single blow from a powerful Saint. There was only one Saint in Daling Mountain before - Shi Zhen, and he even cleaned up the sect!
The crowd, who were full of fighting spirit, were poured a bucket of cold water. They looked at each other in confusion, and finally, led by Qin Tian and the Great Ape King, left silently.

Let the parties involved solve the remaining issues themselves. What happens next is no longer within their consideration.

Do whatever you want, it doesn’t matter.

In the backyard of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, under a pavilion, an old man and a young man were sitting opposite each other.

Ye Kong took the cup of tea from the old monk Shi Zhen with a strange look on his face, blew on it, took a sip, and said with disdain: "This tea is not good, it's too old."

Master Shi Zhen of the mountain chuckled, his eyes fell on a lush and green tea tree beside the pavilion. Without seeing it move, he saw several new leaves falling into his palm.

Then, Master Shi Zhenshan slowly prepared the tea, holding the pot, boiling the tea, brewing the tea, and pouring the tea. After about half an hour, he finally replaced the tea with a new one and placed it on the table in front of Ye Kong: "This tea is new, only 25 years old, try it?"

"Twenty-five years...a good number." Ye Kong nodded, picked up the teacup, and savoured it slowly.

"If you think it's good, you can try it more in the future, or take the tea tree away." Shi Zhen said.

Ye Kong rolled his eyes, thinking that the old man had something to say: "Old man, I am not interested in becoming a monk now."

Shi Zhen showed no strange expression. He looked at the flowers and plants around him, smiled with regret, and said:
"Back then, you wanted to replace me. Now that you have become the Palace Master of Daqian Palace, you no longer look down on this small world of Daling Mountain."

"I was young back then, and was a little impulsive. If I could go back to that time, I wouldn't reveal my thoughts so clearly." Ye Kong pressed his eyebrows, reflecting on his shortcomings back then.

Shi Zhen laughed happily and said, "That won't work. If you become a disciple of the Huai generation, how can you become the successor of the Buddha Emperor?"

"By that time, most people will still think that you have betrayed your teacher and ancestors, how can you be so justified as you are now?"

Hearing this, Ye Kong looked reminiscent, and said to himself:
“I once talked to that boy Huaizhong, and he told me that the night he came out of the mountain was exactly the day I refused to be ordained and accepted the Dharma name;
At first, he didn't know why he wanted to experience the world, and just when he was about to go out, he met you. You also gave him a sword of bitter sword art and told him that the sword domain was a good place..."

"He was originally the person I arranged for you to protect you. Among the geniuses of this generation, he is the only one who was born in the Relic Temple and can be considered clean." Shi Zhen faced Ye Kong's eyes and answered seriously.

"Then did you also help him fuse his holy Buddha bones? I'm afraid Shi Yan doesn't have that much ability, and he's not qualified to use the Buddha bones left by the holy Buddha."

Ye Kong stared at the old monk Shi Zhen with burning eyes.

“I guess so, but I tampered with his Buddha bones and hid them to look like immortal items, so neither he nor Senior Brother Shi Yan knew about it.

He was originally part of my plan to help you cleanse Lingshan's left and right arms, but you left too quickly, so my plan was no longer useful."

"Of course, this is a good thing. If you leave faster, there will be less killing on this Holy Buddha Continent. I can also feel relieved sooner."

Shi Zhen sighed, with helplessness and relief in his eyes.

"This is really unfortunate. You have worked hard for many years, but now all your plans are in vain. In the end, you had to use Lingshan as a trap to lure the evil Buddhas from all over the world here. Although you eliminated them all, all the strong men in this mountain were also exhausted."

"Over the years, Lingshan and its surroundings have been corrupted by the old villain Xuanjie. In the end, he personally eliminated the fellow disciple with whom I had been with for a long time. I'm afraid this feeling is not very pleasant."

Ye Kong turned his head and spoke while biting his lip, his eyes flickering slightly.

"I, an old man, understand the principle that there is no construction without destruction, and that construction can only be achieved after destruction. If our generation is bad, we must not pass this bad legacy on to the next generation."

Shi Zhen's face became serious, then he smiled and said:
"Don't think that I am just an empty figure as the mountain master. Over the years, I have sent out many true Buddha seedlings through various means. When they grow up, at least five or six Heavenly Supremes will emerge. As long as they are here, there is hope for Daling Mountain."

"Besides that, I also got some useful things, so my plan is still somewhat useful." Two jade slips flew out from Shi Zhen's sleeves, one full of blood and energy, and the other ghostly and eerie. Ye Kong looked at them intently, frowned, and asked:

"Is this something from the Styx lineage and the Yuanhun Ghost City?"

"To be precise, it is a soul-chasing tablet made with the blood of the Styx Patriarch and the Heavenly Origin Ghost Lord. It can determine their life or death status and find their location."

"Where did you get this method?" Ye Kongqi asked.

"I don't have your talent, and it's hard for me to reach the late stage of Saint Products in this lifetime. If I want to fight with those evil spirits, I must be more skilled and darker than them. Don't worry, I didn't kill anyone to practice my skills."

Monk Shi Zhen leaned forward with his hands on the table and said seriously, "I spent a lot of effort to make these two things. I can be sure that the two old guys are not dead yet!"

"not dead?"

Ye Kong lowered his eyes and looked at him fiercely:

"I heard from Huang Jin and Xuan Jie that the two old guys were dragged down by the Phoenix King's clones and perished together. Their bodies and souls were all turned to ashes. How could they survive?"

"The strongest point of blood cultivators and ghost cultivators is that they have powerful means of preserving their lives. Don't forget that the old ghost Xuehe escaped from the hands of an old Saint late-stage strongman thousands of years ago. If he didn't have some special means, he would have died long ago."

Shi Zhen took out a scroll with a rustling bloody wind from the Qiankun bracelet and said in a deep voice:

“This is the life-saving magical power of the Styx that I stole from the son of the Blood River Ghost. One drop of real blood can differentiate into a blood-colored incarnation. Although its combat power is not strong, its aura is no different from that of the original body. Even strong men of the same realm may not be able to tell without taking action.

After reaching a very deep level of cultivation, one can even cultivate a substitute body, known as the second true life. Once the original body is facing the brink of death, the second true life can be used to offset it and preserve the original body's true blood."

"With the foundation of a blood-based cultivation lineage, as long as the original true blood is still there, it is only a matter of time to restore the cultivation level."

Ye Kong took the scroll, unfolded it and took a closer look, his expression quickly turned cold. One blood can transform into thousands of bodies, and the process of cultivation requires experiments with massive amounts of blood essence, which consumes a lot of "resources".

When one reaches the level of cultivation as the Old Ancestor of the Styx, the number of lives consumed in each practice is in the billions.

"Where is that old ghost? What methods did he use to save his life?" Ye Kong put away the scroll with a grim look on his face. These old guys are really hard to kill.

Shi Zhen shook his head with a heavy face and sighed:
"I haven't had much contact with Yuanhun Ghost City, so I don't know much about it. I just fought with Tianyuan Old Ghost. But I think it should be some similar means of death substitution. The methods of their ghost cultivators have always been treacherous."

"But don't worry, my Soul Chasing Tube contains his true soul. Unless he breaks his own soul, he can't escape."

Ye Kong nodded slowly, his expression paused slightly, and said approvingly:
"It seems that what you have done over the years is of some use, old man. These two guys belong to me. There is no place for them in the world."

"The cultivation methods of the Blood Cultivation and Ghost Cultivation veins are cruel. It's a good thing that you can destroy them. However, the appearance of these two veins has its own cause and effect, and it's not without reason." Monk Shi Zhen said meaningfully.

"The methods of blood cultivators and ghost cultivators are cruel, but the methods of the great cultivators who practice other techniques may not be that kind. As long as this kind of evil exists in people's hearts, new blood cultivators and ghost cultivators may appear in the world at any time."

"I understand. To cut the grass, we must remove the roots. We must pull out the roots of the existence of blood cultivators and ghost cultivators."

Ye Kong waved his hand, sentenced the two sects' cultivators to death, and continued:
"But the most urgent thing is to kill all the guys who have shown up. These guys cannot be kept alive and should all be sent to see the Buddha."

The master of Shi Zhen Mountain showed a look of joy and said "Good".

"Okay, old man, enough of reminiscing about the past, let's talk about you." Ye Kong touched his eye sockets imperceptibly and stared at Master Shi Zhen of the mountain.

"What are your plans next?"

Master Shi Zhenshan said calmly, "I am a man who deserves to die, what plans can I have?"

"You have quite a lot of skills. Why don't you change your name and try your skills on the battlefield of the evil clan?" Ye Kong said seriously.

"Okay." Shi Zhen answered calmly.

"Get ready, arrange a ceremony for my stupid uncle Shi Luo, and then come out with us. We happen to be going to the Demon Realm."

Ye Kong drank the tea in one gulp, put down the teacup casually, waved his hand and left.

"I have to thank you, old man, for giving me so many reasons not to kill you. Otherwise, I would feel very uncomfortable, Master..."

Space ripples appeared around Ye Kong, and his body with fluttering clothes slowly disappeared with a call of "Master".

Shi Zhen watched Ye Kong's figure disappear, his eyes paused for a long time, and a few drops of water with a different smell dripped onto the table.

The tea leaves from the tea tree nearby had dropped at some point, covering the fresh green grass. No more, no less, exactly twenty-four leaves.

That's enough.
