I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 182 Buddhism is truly an evil sect!
Tai Huangxian Golden Sword!
When the red spear was about to pierce Jiangchuan, the Taihuang Immortal Golden Sword flew out from between Jiangchuan's eyebrows.

clang!
The spear and sword collided, and dark cracks in space spread out from the spear blade and the sword edge to the surroundings.

The Sun-Swallowing Technique was activated, and the extremely strong and masculine power of the sun, under Jiang Chuan's control, turned into a big hand and grabbed the red spear.

"I am Jiang Chuan, the future successor of Buddha, not Li Shaoyang. Li Shaoyang has already been killed by me."

"what?"

A shadowy figure of a woman wearing scarlet armor, with red hair down to her waist and picturesque features, emerged from the scarlet spear.

"You, a cultivator of the fourth realm, actually killed Li Shaoyang. If I hadn't sensed the resentment from Li Shaoyang in you, it would have been hard to believe."

A hint of surprise appeared in the red-haired woman's eyes.

"You can actually feel Li Shaoyang's resentment." A hint of surprise appeared in Jiang Chuan's eyes.

This was the second time he heard someone talk about the resentment left behind by the dead monk.

The first time was in the simulation, when Yuan Tianfang used Ji Yanran’s resentment before her death and successfully found Jiang Chuan’s whereabouts by asking the so-called God.

"Although resentment is invisible and intangible, it has long been thoroughly understood by the Immortal Emperor. Resentment is a stage in the evolution of cause and effect and karma."

The red-haired woman explained, "You killed Li Shaoyang, and thus established a causal relationship with him and the forces behind him. His resentment before his death can naturally be attached to the causal line."

"Ordinary cultivators who don't comprehend the cause and effect of fate naturally find it difficult to detect their resentment. I followed my master to comprehend the Ziwei Astrology of the Ziwei Immortal King, so I can naturally detect it."

"I see."

Jiang Chuan finally understood why he had never noticed the so-called resentment.

It turns out that although the resentment is on oneself, it is attached to an imperceptible line of cause and effect.

"Ziwei Doushu, is your master the descendant of Ziwei Immortal King?" Ancestor Ziyun jumped onto the red spear blade.

"No, my master should be considered a Buddhist disciple. He obtained Ziwei Dou Shu by deceiving the daughter of the headmaster of Ziwei Star City." The red-haired woman replied.

"Buddhism is indeed an evil sect. The disciples and elders all love to cheat and deceive people!" Patriarch Ziyun turned his head and looked at Jiangchuan.

Jiangchuan: "."

No, if you want to curse Elder Jingzhen, then curse Elder Jingzhen. Why are you looking at me?
Who did my Grandmaster Jiang deceive? Who did he cheat?
"My master is probably an exception. There are still many compassionate monks in Buddhism."

The red-haired woman sighed softly, "If my master hadn't cheated Ziwei Dou Shu back then, perhaps he wouldn't have met the descendant of Tuxian King in a fight for an opportunity, and eventually both of them would have perished."

"Descendant of the Immortal Slaughter King? You were the one who shattered this broken sword?"

As Jiang Chuan spoke, he took out the broken knife he had bought for eight million spirit stones from the storage space.

The red-haired woman nodded slightly. "This broken sword was indeed shattered by me. Although I am only a top-grade Taoist weapon, my body is forged from Nine Heavens Red Jade, making it solid and immortal. The sword of the heir of the Immortal Slaughter King was not as good as mine, and I shattered it during our clash. However, I was also severely injured and fell into a deep sleep."

"Then Li Shaoyang and his men found me, sealed me away, and forced me to submit to him. But I, Chu Hongyu, have killed countless eighth- and ninth-level cultivators. How could I possibly submit to a seventh-level cultivator like him?"

Only then did Jiang Chuan discover that there were many fine threads as thick as hair on the red spear.

The fine lines are so subtle that they cannot be seen unless you look carefully.

Looking closely, the thin line is covered with densely packed Taoist symbols.

"According to the rules among cultivators, Jiang Chuan killed Li Shaoyang, and your body should now belong to Jiang Chuan as a trophy."

Patriarch Ziyun squatted on the spear blade and looked at Chu Hongyu: "If you don't recognize Jiangchuan as your master, I'm afraid you will have to continue to be sealed."

"A fourth realm killed a seventh realm. My master was far inferior to him back then. It's not impossible for me to let him be my master."

Chu Hongyu paused and continued, "But I've had enough of being a weapon spirit. I thought a lot during the time I was sealed by Li Shaoyang."

"The Dao weapon itself made me what I am, but it also sealed me. After hundreds and thousands of years of practicing Dao without any progress, it will be difficult for me to achieve the goal of becoming an immortal weapon in my entire life."

"Therefore, I have long decided that as soon as I am free, I will abandon my original body and reincarnate as a human."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, if you want to reincarnate, I can ask the elders in Bodhi Temple to escort you to reincarnation." Jiang Chuan suggested.

The strength of a top-grade Taoist weapon spirit is generally around the sixth level.

Those as powerful as Patriarch Ziyun are considered to be at the seventh level of strength.

After Chu Hongyu's reincarnation, she gradually awakened the memories of her current life. Even if she couldn't become an immortal, at least she would have no problem cultivating to the seventh or eighth level.

Although Bodhi Temple does not accept female disciples, Shuiyue Temple is one of the few sects in Qingyuan Realm that only accepts female disciples.

"There's no rush for this. I want to find and practice more magical powers, gather enough to build an immortal foundation, and then reincarnate. To ensure that I can successfully build an immortal foundation in the next life." Chu Hongyu explained.

Jiang Chuan stretched out his palm, and a golden sun, a red alchemy furnace formed by four hundred and ninety fire immortal talismans, and a golden Taoist sword flew out from his palm continuously.

"The Sun-Swallowing Technique! The Smelting Technique! The One-Qi Dao Sword! The Demonic Eye of the End of Law! The Demonic Hand of the Sky-Cutting! You actually possess so many peerless and supreme magical powers!" Chu Hongyu showed surprise.

"I have mastered many magical powers. If Fellow Daoist Chu has magical powers of the same level, I can exchange with Fellow Daoist Chu." Jiang Chuan stated his purpose.

"My Lord taught me thirty-six kinds of magical powers. Apart from Ziwei Dou Shu, there is only one peerless magical power, but it cannot be taught due to restrictions."

Chu Hongyu pointed at Li Shaoyang's robes and said, "As for the Immortal King Sword Technique that I later acquired, it is in the storage space of this Four Symbols Robe."

"The Immortal King's Sword Technique!"

Jiang Chuan took out four small knives in red, gray, purple and silver from the Four Symbols robe with a look of surprise.

Each of the four knives was half a foot long, covered in ant-sized characters that gleamed in the sunlight. "Legend has it that the Immortal Slayer King created eight knives. While there are only four knives here—Immortal Slayer, God Destroyer, Emperor Fall, and True Vacuum—if you can cultivate to perfection, you'll be a formidable force even among True Immortals."

After hearing Chu Hongyu's words, Jiang Chuan's mind swept over the words on the four knives, and then admiration appeared in his eyes.

"The Immortal Slayer King is truly worthy of being the one who slaughtered all the immortals and gods in the Lesser Heaven Realm with a single sword. His swordsmanship is truly terrifying!"

Take the God-Destroying Sword as an example.

Gods are the result of the interaction between the Great Dao and the creation of heaven and earth.

From a certain perspective, the Tao is the mother of the gods, and heaven and earth are the father of the gods.

Tao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, and three produces all things.

The God-Destroying Sword is the reversal of this process, transforming the rebellious destructive force generated when all things are transformed into Tai Chi into a sword that is powerful enough to destroy the heavens and kill gods!

After putting the four small knives into the storage space, Jiang Chuan continued to probe his spiritual sense into the storage space of the Four Symbols Robe.

The next moment, densely packed golden flying swords appeared in Jiang Chuan's mind.

The golden flying sword was three feet wide, and looked like it was cast from gold, shining brightly.

A golden ancient map is embroidered with thousands of golden suns, floating in front of a golden flying sword.

"The Thousand Suns and Ten Thousand Swords Demon-Slaying Sword Formation! This sword formation is powerful enough to serve as a mountain defense formation for a small sect, yet Li Shaoyang possesses it. He truly is the eldest prince of the Jiuyuan Dynasty, his family is truly wealthy."

Jiang Chuan's face was full of joy.

The Thousand Suns and Ten Thousand Swords Demon-Slaying Sword Formation was created by a formation master in the Middle Ages.

It is composed of a formation diagram and 18,000 low-grade flying swords. Once all the swords are activated and fly together, the power is overwhelming.

By absorbing the Sun's energy during the day, the power of the Thousand Suns and Ten Thousand Swords Demon-Slaying Sword Formation will be several times stronger.

A moment later, Jiang Chuan took the brocade box containing the silver crane scissors and sat down contentedly under the willow tree in the courtyard.

Apart from the Nine Heavens Red Jade Spear, four small knives containing the Immortal King's sword technique, and the Thousand Suns and Ten Thousand Swords Demon-Slaying Sword Formation, there were only 300,000 spirit stones and the Silver Crane Scissors left in the Four Symbols Robe.

In addition, there is Li Shaoyang's life-saving magic sword, which is about to give birth to a spirit and transform into a low-grade Taoist weapon.

Jiang Chuan's killing of Li Shaoyang can be said to be a fruitful achievement.

Under Jiang Chuan's control, the Five Mountains and Five Elements Peaks flew into the more than two-meter-high Nine Flames Fire Dragon Furnace together with Broken Blade and Yuanci Mountain.

The Nine Flames Fire Dragon Furnace showed nine divine dragons rising into the air from the furnace, spewing dragon flames into the furnace, burning and refining the Five Elements Peaks of the Five Mountains, Broken Knife and Yuanci Mountain.

Jiang Chuan was multitasking, controlling the Nine Flames Fire Dragon Furnace while taking out a top-grade elixir, the Beidou Tenglong Pill, and swallowing it in one gulp.

The powerful medicinal power turned into a rolling warm current, flowing continuously to Jiangchuan's limbs and meridians.

Jiangchuan seemed to be bathing in the warm winter sun, feeling comfortable all over.

However, before Jiang Chuan could practice for long, the gate of his courtyard was kicked open.

"Jiang Chuan, if you ask me, you'd better run away quickly!"

Xiang Donglai brought Nangong Chang into the courtyard.

"Although Li Shaoyang has memories of his past life and his relationship with the Jiuyuan Saint Emperor was not deep, you killed Li Shaoyang in Jiuyuan Imperial Capital. This is a real loss of face for the Jiuyuan Dynasty!"

Nangong Chang looked worried. "It's been several hours, and Abbot Kongming hasn't left the palace yet. I estimate that the two sides are already on the verge of a fight and could break out at any time."

"Don't worry, there won't be a fight."

Jiang Chuan smiled confidently and continued to control the Nine Flames Fire Dragon Furnace.

Ever since I learned in the simulation that the Demon King’s treasure was in the Jiuyuan Prison, and I saw Li Yuejiao refining a lot of phoenix blood with my own eyes.

Jiang Chuan knew clearly that the Jiuyuan Dynasty had already made various plans in order to obtain the treasure of the Demon King. It was even very likely that this plan started from their ancestors!
With the planning from our ancestors to the present, success is just around the corner.

If it ends now, no one will be willing to do so.

What's more, the object of the plan is the Demon King's treasure that can lay the foundation of the Thirteenth Realm!

Jiang Chuan was 80% sure that even if he killed Li Shaoyang, the Jiuyuan royal family would not completely break off relations with the Bodhi Temple and kill him.

Therefore, he took decisive action and killed Li Shaoyang directly.

"My mother said that people can be confident, but not conceited."

Lu Chenling and Mu Bingyun walked into Jiang Chuan's courtyard holding swords.

"I just received news that, fearing a major conflict between the Bodhi Temple and the Jiuyuan Dynasty, which would affect mortals, major forces such as the Taisu Immortal Palace, the Shanhai Dao Sect, and the Wanmu Dao Palace have all sent their elders, even the headmaster, to the Jiuyuan Imperial Capital to lead their teams."

Mu Bingyun came in front of Jiang Chuan, worry appearing in her beautiful eyes.

"When there are many people, their hearts are mixed. Some people want you to live, while others naturally want you dead. The Jiuyuan Imperial Capital is a mixed bag, full of murderous intent. Your best choice is to leave the Imperial Capital!"

Nangong Chang and Xiang Donglai nodded, agreeing with Mu Bingyun's suggestion.

　The things I did a few days ago caused my good brothers to chase me all the way to Hangzhou! I will try not to affect the update!
