Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 162 Two Rising
"what?"

Hearing Xiao Ying say this, Li Baiyao's face was filled with shock, astonishment and confusion.

In the minds of surrendered generals such as Li Baiyao, Shen Lun and his sister, and Sun Shihan, the rewards from King Jingwu and the Sui army had already been given, which was to treat them well, trust them and make use of them, and still let them hold great power.

Especially the young master of Shangliang, Shen Lun, and the general Liu Ziyi, who became the generals of the army. Others were really unsuitable or had no army at the moment, such as Li Baiyao, Jiang Yuanchao, and Sun Shihan. They were good at civilian work, so it was not appropriate to force them to become generals!
Prince Jingwu has achieved so much, and they really have nothing else to ask for. What real reward is there?!
"Congratulations, Mr. Li! The reward from the young master is enough to change one's fate and transform one completely!"

Seeing Li Baiyao's reaction, Qianyun, the youngest and most lively one, blinked her big watery eyes and congratulated him with obvious envy and anticipation.

"I'm ashamed! I'm ashamed!" Li Baiyao didn't know what the reward was, so he could only respond humbly.

After a while.

Shen Lun's siblings and others arrived with doubts and stood respectfully in the hall. There were six of them in total.

Xiao Ying sat at the head of the table, looking at everyone solemnly. He remained silent for a long time. This made them even more nervous, uneasy, and questioning themselves. As time passed, sweat began to form on his cheeks...

You know your own business!
Shen Lun and the others knew that as newly surrendered soldiers, they were being given important positions, so they had to be more cautious and proactive. Recently, they had been working diligently, not daring to slack off in the slightest, practically eating and sleeping with the soldiers, or even working day and night to handle affairs.

Now that he's been summoned by Prince Jingwu, and he hasn't said a word, anyone would be nervous...

"Hmm! That should be possible..."

Xiao Ying looked at Shen Lun and the others, and finally matched the star souls according to the degree of compatibility and their respective temperaments, pursuits, etc. He couldn't help but nod and mutter to himself.

After a pause, he looked at the monks and guards who were standing silently behind him, in the corners, and so on, like clay statues, and said, "You all should come too! It's your turn now..."

"Um?!"

"Amitabha! Ling Guang thanks the Lord for His gift!"

The faces of the four great Vajras, eight great Arhats and other twelve monk guards who looked like clay statues changed drastically. Ling Guang came into the hall in an exaggerated and inappropriate manner, and thanked them excitedly, with a feeling of worship!

This is a direct recognition of the master, not a personal bodyguard, guardian, or protector in the ordinary sense. It is a bit inconsistent with the monks who came from Qiling Temple!

As Xiao Ying's personal bodyguards, they knew Xiao Ying's magical skills better. Qian Yun's previous congratulations to Li Baiyao were absolutely correct.

However, they considered themselves mere guards, lacking any knowledge of civil or military strategy, and thus of little help to Xiao Ying and the Sui Dynasty. They didn't dare to make demands or requests, but who wouldn't have some hopes or expectations? What if?
Now it’s finally their turn, earlier than expected, how can they not be excited?
"..."

The monk guards around Prince Jingwu are now renowned, especially in the Jianghu. Most of them are already at the level of second-rank divine generals, and can basically be called divine monks. The previous terms such as Vajra and Arhat are no longer appropriate!

Shen Lun, Li Baiyao and others were a little surprised that such a powerful person was so excited, but their tension and anxiety were also relieved a lot.

Xiao Ying nodded and responded amiably, "Rewards and punishments are clearly defined. You deserve it! Get ready..."

"Amitabha!"

The twelve monk guards chanted the Buddha's name in unison, then lined up behind Shen Lun and the other six people and sat down cross-legged on the spot.

Shen Lun and the others felt their hearts beating fast again, and they felt a little overwhelmed and uneasy.

In terms of cultivation level, the monk guards are definitely stronger. They are the personal guards of King Jingwu, but they consciously stand behind them. What's going on?

I didn't know if I should sit down too. Would that be too inappropriate?

"Star Soul Fusion!"

Xiao Ying didn't say anything more. With a thought, he activated the Blood Demon Diagram...

Shen Lun, Star Soul Dragon Tianxing.

Shen Manxuan, Star Soul Shen Faxing;
Li Baiyao, Star Soul Chen Guoren;
Liu Ziyi, Star Soul Yuwenmao;
Sun Shihan, the Star Soul Supreme Son;
Jiang Yuanchao, Star Soul Xu Lingyan.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Ying considered giving the star soul of King Shangliang Shen Faxing to Shen Lun and his sister, which could be regarded as fulfilling the "father-son relationship".

In addition, despite Shen Faxing's extremely high destiny, his qualifications and talents are only of the third or fourth rank, which is not really top-notch. He can only be regarded as an ordinary genius, not as good as the super-grade talents of Long Tianxing, the first general of Shangliang... The super-grade innate supernatural power and the third-grade agility.

As for the others, the Blood Demon Map currently doesn't have any particularly outstanding generals or ministers. Aside from Yuwen Mao and Zhi Yuanzi, the others were originally from the Shangliang Army, so... they were returned to their original owners?!

Those star souls may not be as good as me, but they are also historical geniuses. Their qualifications, talents, destiny, etc. are enough to allow them to reach a higher level and produce a qualitative change, especially the Shen Lun brothers and sisters!
The Twelve Monk Guardians are Lingxin, Lingyuan, Lingguang, Lingxu, Huineng, Huichang, Huizheng, Huize, Huijie, Huixuan, Huihong and Huiyou.

Except for the last four, the other eight are all second-rank divine generals. The three with the surname Ling are in the late second rank, and Ling Xin is at the peak of the second rank. They just need an opportunity to be promoted to the first-rank supreme celestial being at any time!
Xiao Ying positioned the Monk Guards as pure protectors, guardians, and worshippers. He didn't grant them any historical prodigy star souls, primarily because there weren't that many of those to share! The fused star souls were primarily from the scattered star souls of Jiangdu's prison, as well as the second-rank masters of the Shangliang Army and the Nanyang Iron Cavalry!
Although there are no historical genius star souls, the fact that they are all at the second level is enough!

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

As soon as the Star Soul fell, Shen Lun and the other six people were stunned there, and then they sat cross-legged on the ground in tacit understanding.

In just a dozen or so breaths, subtle fluctuations in aura and momentum occurred one after another, and the cultivation level of most people broke through.

What is more important is the transformation of his qualifications, talents, destiny, the Star Soul technique, and fragmentary memories and knowledge. That is the real way to change one's destiny and be reborn!
"Boom...boom..."

The majestic aura that swept through the spacious hall and spread to the vast City Lord's Mansion suddenly erupted, followed by an explosion like a bolt from the blue!
The heaven and earth shook, the wind and clouds changed color, and the power of heaven descended!

Thick dark clouds gathered rapidly, covering the sky above the magnificent Hailing City...

The sky darkened, the wind and clouds surged, lightning shone, and an immense divine power descended, instantly shaking the entire city of Hailing. Countless people looked up in shock...

"Someone has advanced to the First-Rank Supreme?!"

Xiao Ying, the four maids, and the others, who had met once before, were startled for a moment, and then looked at Ling Xin...

Only Ling Xin’s cultivation level is enough for the person present!

"Rumble..."

The might of heaven overwhelms, scrutinizing the people and examining their purpose. The roaring wind and clouds represent the declaration of heaven and earth...

"boom……"

The majestic momentum reaches the sky, and a huge Dharma image over a hundred meters tall rises into the sky, echoing the sound of heaven and earth.

The pale golden Buddha light shines everywhere, and the majestic Buddha appears in the world!
The first-class Buddha appearance, the supreme Vajra!

mercy!

solemn!

majestic!

King Kong is immortal!

Infinite power!

The last two points give people a strong sense of shock because the spiritual heart is the main cultivation body, and the characteristics of the main cultivation method will naturally be reflected in the supreme Dharma image...

"boom……"

Xiao Ying was delighted, and as everyone was shocked, another wave of powerful aura and momentum erupted, shaking their hearts and souls... "Still coming? Are you so proud and honored to have been promoted to the Supreme? Even the heavens and the earth responded, isn't that impressive enough..."

Xiao Ying who was present, Dugu Feng and some other people in the city couldn't help but secretly complain!

They had to admit that Xiao Ying and Dugu Feng were indeed a little envious and jealous.

Putting aside other things, if the two can advance to the first-grade supreme, even if their innate talents are not as good as the Yun Xihai combination, they can make up for it and win with their realm, and they can still fight, so there is no need to be so afraid of Yun Xihai!

"Boom! Boom... Boom..."

Before Xiao Ying and Dugu Feng finished their complaints, countless people were still paying attention, and there were another wave of powerful and majestic sounds!
"Doesn't Buddhism focus more on cultivating the mind? You're still so restless... and it's not over yet..."

Xiao Ying continued to complain with envy, but suddenly...

Another huge statue, over a hundred meters tall, rose into the sky, awe-inspiring the heaven and earth.

All of a sudden...

Two statues, over a hundred meters tall, each radiating pale golden light, illuminated the world. The majestic Buddhas, each holding up the heavens, stood side by side between heaven and earth...

"..."

Including Xiao Ying and Dugu Feng, countless people who were already deeply touched and shocked were completely stunned!

The first-class supreme celestial being!
Ling Guang!

It turns out that it wasn't just one person who advanced, but two... Ling Xin and Ling Guang, and they advanced at the same time, and both were from the Buddhist sect...

Is this really the golden age of Buddhism?

Is Buddhism so favored by heaven and earth?

In addition to the countless people outside the city, they were all shocked and suspicious, especially the spies and disciples of the countless large and small forces hiding in Hailing City.

However, although the two supreme Dharma images seem to appear at the same time, there is actually a difference between them!

Lingxin was promoted first, and Lingguang first broke through to the peak of the second-grade divine general, and then influenced by Lingxin's promotion, he broke through and was promoted as well!
To put it simply and bluntly, the opportunity for Lingxin's advancement is the fusion of star souls, and the opportunity for Lingguang's advancement is the shock and influence brought about by Lingxin's breakthrough. Otherwise, even if Lingguang is happy to obtain the fusion of star souls and break through to the peak of the second level, it is normal for him to be stuck for a lifetime!

This is Ling Guang’s luck!

Ling Guang easily grasped the first-grade shackles and supreme opportunity that had held countless powerful men back for years, decades, or even their entire lives. This was truly an exceptional achievement!

……

"Two Supreme Beings? Or the Buddhist sect..."

"Judging from the direction, they are coming from the City Lord's Mansion. Could they be the guardian monk of King Jingwu?"

"This is unjust! Is Prince Jingwu the chosen one? His own strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and so have the people around him. How should we deal with this?!"

"Could it be that Prince Jingwu... or the Sui Dynasty, has some heaven-defying secret method that can give birth to a first-grade supreme being? That would be terrifying..."

"It's over! With two Supremes suddenly appearing, what should we do?"

"Send a message! Send it back immediately..."

"Hurry and send a message back. The lord needs to change his attitude towards Prince Jingwu... and even the Sui army!"

"We can't stay in Hailing City anymore! There are so many soldiers and generals, and so many powerful people. If we're discovered, we'll be dead..."

The appearance of a supreme being picked out from billions is enough to shock the heavens and the earth, let alone the simultaneous breakthrough and appearance of two supreme beings, which is extremely rare in the ages!

Not to mention what Xiao Ying, Dugu Feng and other Sui soldiers thought, countless spies, informants, undercover agents, etc. hiding in Hailing City were deeply shocked, shocked and touched.

For a while...

Obscure communication waves surged out from Hailing City, and countless communication lights flashed quickly. Relevant information and speculations were transmitted in all directions at an extremely fast speed, spreading throughout the world!
……

"Greetings, my lord!"

Buddhist practitioners do focus more on cultivating their minds and are relatively low-key. Ling Xin did not try to show off his fame, but quickly restrained his aura and momentum, and bowed down solemnly at the first opportunity.

At this time, Lingxin no longer even had the catchphrase "Amitabha" or the Buddhist slogan, and directly worshipped Xiao Ying.

In other words, if Lingxin still has faith today, that faith is King Jingwu!
"Thank you, my lord, for your gift. I will repay you with my kindness for nine lifetimes!"

Without waiting for Xiao Ying and the others to react, Ling Xin bowed solemnly and seriously again to express his gratitude!
Do not underestimate just a few words. When your cultivation reaches the first level of heaven and man, you are only half a step away from becoming an immortal. What is more important is to cultivate your mind and attain enlightenment, and not to make a vow casually!
What’s more, it is a nine-generation revenge, which is concise and meaningful!
"Thank you, my lord, for your gift. I will repay you with my kindness for nine lifetimes!"

As soon as Ling Xin finished speaking, Ling Guang reacted immediately, quickly restrained his breath and momentum, and immediately bowed down to express his gratitude.

Human nature is a repeater!
Ling Guang had recognized the master before.

More importantly, Ling Guang did not forget that the promise King Jingwu made to Qiling Temple was to "transcend to heaven", not just to be promoted to the first-grade supreme being. Qiling Temple is not without supreme celestial beings, so it is not enough for Ling Guang to take such a risk!

Lingxin’s reaction is most likely due to this mentality!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Although there was a bit of envy and jealousy, it did not affect Xiao Ying's ecstasy, relief, and excitement. He praised them repeatedly without restraint, and quickly left his seat, walked forward to help the two statues up, and even wanted to hug them tightly...

It’s just that Xiao Ying is too thin-skinned and can’t do it in public!
In the Sui Dynasty, there were only three supreme celestial beings: the mysterious fairy Aunt Rong, who represented Empress Xiao, King Wu Xiao Yu, and the Tuoshan Patriarch Cui Yanbo, who represented the aristocratic families.

Now, there is finally a supreme celestial being representing King Jingwu!

In fact, Ling Xin and Ling Guang, who have advanced now, may not be the opponents of Xiao Ying and Dugu Feng!
If they fought one-on-one, the two Spirit Supremes would most likely lose. However, the symbolic and representative meanings were completely different!

People in this world are ignorant and have no idea about qualifications, talents, and destiny. It is even more difficult to judge who is stronger and who is weaker without fighting in person.

However, when the Supreme Heavenly Being appears, in the eyes of most people in the world, he is a living god of the time, and his reputation and prestige are only stronger than those of the emperors in troubled times that are rampant nowadays!

"Greetings, my lord!!!"

As if waking from a dream, Shen Lun and his sister looked at each other secretly, and bowed down to acknowledge their master in tacit understanding.

"..."

Li Baiyao, Sun Shihan, Jiang Yuanchao and the others looked at each other in confusion, hesitated for a moment, and then followed suit and bowed down.
"Greetings, my lord!"

As people who were granted the same gifts, the two supreme beings bowed, and Shen Lun and his sister also knelt. What would happen if they didn’t bow?
What can I do?
Could they be more powerful, noble, and talented than the first four?

Of course, there is also the influence of the "Blood Demon Picture". It will not directly change the character or reverse the thoughts, but it will correct them subtly, but it is enough to affect the mind for a while!
