Chronicles of Heian Palace

...

You have defeated Tamamo-no-Mae, the Six-Tails.

Although it is a sword that restrains 'divinity'.

Yet this is still enough to prove that you have finally reached that position, the very pinnacle among countless heroes throughout history.

Although these are the tips of the spines on a sea urchin, and these tips may vary in length.

But that was also the 'peak'!

Chapter 140 The Bhikkhuni and the Moon Princess, the Exorcism Legacy and the Simulated End

"Master, how is it?"

"Hmm... Your supernatural abilities are exquisite, far surpassing mine."

"So you still want to convert me to Buddhism?"

"If the Peacock King doesn't enter Buddhism, where else would he enter?"

"Of course you're coming to my house! What else would you do but go home? Nobody else would feed you!"

"..."

At the foot of Mount Fuji, as dusk approaches, the summit of Mount Fuji, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, appears as if draped in a golden robe, shimmering brilliantly from afar. In the nearby forest, a 'young man' dressed in hunting attire strides by, the vegetation beneath his feet not only not withering, but instead appearing even more vibrant.

Hearing his words, the figure following closely behind merely smiled.

"Speaking of which, have you really lived for hundreds of years?"

Before he finished speaking, the young man in front paused slightly, turned his head to look back, and asked the question.

The figure that came into view had her head wrapped in a monk's headscarf, covering all her hair, but it couldn't hide her delicate and beautiful face. Even though she was wearing a monk's robe, it couldn't conceal her outstanding figure with her graceful curves, round hips, and long legs.

Anyone who sees such a 'monk or nun' will only feel regret for entering the Buddhist order.

And people wouldn't even think about their real age...

“When I was born, it was during the reign of Emperor Murei.” The monk and nun replied, “If we count from the time I can remember, it has probably been four or five hundred years.”

"Four or five hundred years..." the young man smiled. "I can only say that it's hard to tell."

"Even Lord Yuzhang doesn't look like he's already a hundred years old?" the nun replied.

The young man, who was undoubtedly Lu Kang himself, laughed heartily: "I just look young, but I'm actually old and about to die, while you, both inside and out, are so young."

"No wonder everyone calls you 'Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni' (a Buddhist nun with eight hundred years of life). I bet you'll live to be more than eight hundred years old!"

"They'll still look the same even a thousand years from now!"

Listening to Lu Kang's seemingly joking but actually sincere words, the nun known as 'Yabikhuni' simply smiled and remained silent.

Since that day when Tamamo-no-Mae was killed.

Lu Kang returned to the foot of Mount Fuji and continued his reclusive life.

I thought things would remain the same as always.

Unexpectedly, he met this monk and nun on the road, and from that day on, he was also entangled with them—every day they would talk to Lu Kang in his ear about converting him into Buddhism and making him the 'Peacock King'.

Lu Kang was tired of hearing what the monks and nuns were saying.

But he had been alone since he was eighty years old, and the arrival of this nun Yaobikuni brought a rare liveliness to his life.

of course.

He didn't drive them away because of their status in later generations...

【Praying for Famine Relief at Kichijoin】

You recall the look of surprise on your face when you first saw these monks and nuns.

Although you already knew that the otherworldly counterpart of that human evil was extremely extraordinary and that it originated from the Far East country of Yamato, you never expected that its true identity would be the 'Yabikuni' from the ancient legends of Yamato who gained immortality by eating mermaid flesh.

You were surprised and curious about it.

You did not actively drive the other person away.

【Eight Hundred Bhikkhuni really had the audacity to stay】

She said she had almost unlimited time.

[To persuade you to join Buddhism]

But you know that your time is running out.

That night, you and Yaobikuni, as usual, sat and discussed the Dharma—she was trying to convert you, but weren't you also trying to convert her?

[You have discussed this topic countless times before.]

Although the effects are slow to appear.

But you know, you have successfully planted a seed in her heart that could turn a 'monk' or a 'nuns' into a 'demon'.

If one day, she transforms into a 'demon'

[You can reunite with him as 'Sugawara no Hajime']

You will then reap unexpected benefits.

The night is deep.

You also welcomed an unexpected guest.

A Black Princess Under the Moon

[She is Princess Kaguya from The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter]

[She is also someone who, like Yaobikuni, is etched in the legends of Yamato Province, but whose true identity will surprise you.]

This year, you are 103 years old.

[The deadline is approaching]

[Before you died, you combined all the knowledge you had acquired in your life and compressed and reorganized the 'Spiritual Curse System,' which had long since become fragmented with the development of the times. You imitated the magical inscription inheritance of Western families, shrinking it from a vast system operating in the world to a system within a single family or clan.]

You have separated the spirit system.

[You bestowed the 'spell' aspect upon the shrine of the goddess at the foot of Mount Fuji, a descendant of Usui Sadamitsu, one of the three great kings under Minamoto no Yorimitsu.]

[You will further break down the part that enhances your own 'spirituality,' bestowing the spirituality of the body upon the successor of Urabe Suetake, and the spirituality of consciousness upon the successor of Watanabe Tsuna.]

You also used your unique Phantom Spirit Technique to create a way to preserve different mysteries by crafting different personalities from Phantom Spirits.

You left behind the original 'exorcising family legacy'.

Her name is Wu Jing, Qi Ye, Qian Shen.

【Two Elements】

In this final year, you personally went deep into the mountains to train the most powerful and mysterious assassin of the era, who was born a hundred years late.

【Kintaro, Sakata Kintoki】

The mystery of an era will eventually fade.

And you will personally accelerate this process to increase your influence on future generations.

[To increase one's 'legacy' to future generations]

【…】

1072 AD.

Sugawara Hajime has been confirmed dead.

...

Even after Sugawara no Hajime's death, his influence continued to spread, and even in modern times, many people still claimed to be his successors from another generation.

His birth and death dates are clear, but his later years are not detailed. He had many achievements and many misdeeds in his life. He brought a period of glory, but the rise of the shogunate system, the rise of military men, and the constant wars after his death can all be traced back to his influence.

He changed 'Emperor' to 'King'.

Establish the administrative system of the academy.

He advocated for people's livelihood and indulged soldiers.

But in all honesty, he had done his best for that era.

His achievements far surpassed those of his ancestor, Sugawara no Michizane.

He rose from the middle ranks, secured his position, and served as prime minister for forty years without making a single mistake.

Who can deny that era of peace and stability that lasted for decades?

As for the many Onmyodo legends about suppressing Shuten-dōji, eliminating demons, and purifying Tamamo-no-Mae, these are mostly just people's imagination and affirmation of the stable and prosperous era he created.

There is bound to be aspiration and fantasy for extraordinary people.

He really is very...

In that era of openness,

For a lifetime, there is only one couple.

I only love one person.

Later generations referred to him as "Peacock Prince" and then as "Peacock Lord".

His title was ultimately well-deserved.

She is a person as dazzling and radiant as a peacock.

Chapter 141 The Vacation Granted by Kenneth, Triple Greatness and Landing in Misaki City

**[El-Melloi's coat of arms]**

To Luvist:

I hereby entrust you with the task of immediately traveling to Winterwood to construct the Triple Workshop and building the Triple Magic Furnace using the Mercury Key. On the way, please be careful to avoid Bartholomew's spies.

—Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald

...

As the plane cruised smoothly, I turned to look out the window and saw a vast expanse of azure sky. This was the stratosphere, above the troposphere where there were many clouds. The rolling sea of ​​clouds was only under this sky. Looking up, I could clearly see the blazing sun high in the sky, directly facing the fuselage, painting the buzzing wings on both sides with a dazzling gold.

Sitting in his private box, Lu Kang opened the letter Kenneth had given him before his departure, which bore the special encryption of the El-Melloi family. The intoxicating scent of roses and the brief text made him unable to help but complain that his 'director' and temporary 'boss' was constantly displaying his noble birth and etiquette—even though he was already used to it.

But in 1993, to still stubbornly use the traditional oral letter-writing method, that's really something else.

However, its content was exactly as Lu Kang had expected.

"As expected, it's about the 'Holy Grail War' in Fuyuki City."

That lemon-headed guy had indeed noticed the magic ritual in the Far East long ago—although it seemed to be just like the 'original story' in Lu Kang's memory, not taken seriously at all.

If it were truly important, they wouldn't have entrusted me with such a crucial task as building the 'workshop'.

Even though Lu Kang's previous strength had already reached the pinnacle of modern magicians, surpassing Barthezello and even the middle-class 'Ancestor of Dead Apostles'.

However, Kenneth had no idea about this!
