The demon monk in the second dimension

"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"

It seems that the Ninja World Alliance is doing quite well.

The level of labor force at the First Hokage's level was something never seen or heard of before!

Within the Land of Wind, Xia Zhi's wood clone is also working hard.

"Wooden Release: The birth of the tree world!"

Countless enormous ancient trees, some hundreds of years old, have sprung up from the ground, transforming into a forest.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

A towering waterfall gushed forth from Xia Zhi's mouth, quickly transforming into a lake in the forest.

Looking at the green trees and lake, the Third Kazekage was about to burst into laughter.

"Our Land of Wind is saved!"

At the border of the Land of Lightning, Xia Zhi reached out and plucked a meteor from the sky.

He punched the meteorite, which shattered in two with a bang, revealing Killer Bee inside.

With the Eight-Tails protecting him, Killer Bee, though on the verge of death, was still alive.

The resurrected Fourth Raikage, A, excitedly helped Killer Bee up.

"Compare!"

Killer Bee weakly raised his head and smiled at the Fourth Raikage.

"Big brother? Am I dead too?"

"We're all still alive. I'll tell you later."

Ai let the Cloud Ninjas help Killer Bee away for treatment, and bowed to Xia Zhi.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for not holding a grudge."

Xia Zhi smiled and nodded, encouraging him.

"Now that you've been resurrected, do your job well from now on. The Allied Nation still has many uses for you brothers."

Ai let out a breath and nodded vigorously in return.

"Yes."

Chapter 372 The Evil King Buddha of the Southern Heavenly Purification

In the miniature world, Xia Zhi took advantage of the White Yaksha's "fall from grace" and seized the sovereignty of fourteen suns before running away.

After returning, he also studied these fourteen solar sovereignty.

Finally he found out.

"These solar sovereigntyes, like my [Final Trial for Humanity], were born after being endowed with the spirit of the Small Garden. Once they leave the Small Garden, their power declines by a significant level."

Azdakha, who escaped from mythology, did not leave, but instead roamed the human world.

They usually live in the big house during the summer solstice.

He offered some explanation for Xia Zhi's confusion.

"The Little Garden is the playground of Asuras, gods, and Buddhas. The three races—Star Spirits, Gods, and Pureblood Dragons—have all been greatly strengthened there. If we leave the Little Garden, we are not actually that strong. Only a very few people, like you, whose spiritual rank expands infinitely and who can take a portion of their power with them after leaving the Little Garden, are truly powerful."

"Take me for example. I was a three-digit Demon Lord in the Little Garden, but after leaving the Little Garden, I fell to a four-digit Demon Lord. The same goes for the [Simulated Star Chart - Avesta]. It can only function as a simulated star chart in the Little Garden, a playground where cosmologies collide. In reality, it's not that powerful."

After further research, Xia Zhi finally discovered that the sun's sovereignty still plays the most significant role in the miniature world.

After leaving the miniature world, they were practically nerfed to an epic degree.

It's basically a case of each version having its own meta.

Summer Solstice had originally set them aside, but not long afterward, people came to claim sovereignty over these fourteen suns.

……

After returning from the Little Garden world, because a Blood God clone was learning from Luo Hao, Xia Zhi's main body did not stay in Lushan, but instead found a beautiful beach villa on Sardinia Island to live in.

Because of his stay, this beach was immediately designated as a restricted area, prohibiting tourists from coming.

On this day, the Blood God Child in Mount Lu suddenly contacted Xia Zhi, saying that someone from the Buddhist sect had come and wanted to trade with him for the sovereignty of the fourteen suns.

The visitor was the Sandalwood Merit Buddha.

Or use a more widely known name—Tang Sanzang!

In a flash, Xia Zhi used his supernatural speed to travel from Sardinia to Mount Lu, where he met the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, a figure that made male demons speechless and female demons unable to close their legs.

A poem reads: A dignified countenance, yet elegant and refined; His robes fit him perfectly, as if tailor-made. His radiant light fills the universe, A tapestry of vibrant colors condenses within the cosmos.

In short, Tang Sanzang is incredibly handsome; he's a top-tier heartthrob in Buddhism, the epitome of good looks.

Since the Investiture of the Gods, the relationship between the three religions has been shattered and can never be reconciled.

This allows the Jade Emperor to form alliances and counter-alliances here, maintaining a balance of power and ruling the Three Realms.

Among them, the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect are definitely rivals.

Whether the relationship between Buddhism and the Jie Sect is good or bad depends on the individual.

If you were to say that Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva were originally Taoists of the Chan Sect, their relationship with the Jie Sect was not only not good, but they would also fight when they met.

Especially the long-eared Dingguangxian, who was "dead, dead, dead, dead, dead!"

Therefore, this Buddha of Bliss, who originally made great contributions in the Western religion but became hated by everyone and ghosts in Buddhism, stayed in his own Great Bliss Buddha Land all day long and dared not show himself at all.

But if you're talking about Qiu Shou Xian, Ling Ya Xian, Jin Guang Xian, and Yu Yi Xian, which are also known as Qing Mao Shi Zi Guai, Huang Ya Lao Xiang, Jin Mao Hou, and Jin Chi Da Peng Niao, then the relationship is quite different.

After the Investiture of the Gods, Taiqing Daode Tianzun, with Duobao Daoren, the inner disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu, as the core, converted the barbarians to Buddhism.

I donned your robes, moved into your temple, altered your scriptures, and transformed Western religion into Buddhism.

Many disciples of the Chan and Jie sects who were not listed on the Investiture of the Gods took over, causing the Western Sect to be assimilated.

Later, when Tang Sanzang went on his pilgrimage to the West, Buddhism flourished, not the Western religion.

Buddhist teachings are full of phrases like "My Buddha Tathagata" and "Shakyamuni Buddha," but they don't mention Jieyin Daoren or Zhunti Daoren at all.

Back in the Jie Sect, Daoist Duobao and Holy Mother Wudang were the four inner disciples.

As the second disciple of Buddha Tathagata, Jin Chanzi naturally had a good relationship with the Jie Sect, which is why he was introduced to Xia Zhi by Luo Hao.

According to the Buddha, Luo Hao and Jin Chanzi were actually fellow disciples.

"Amitabha Buddha, Benefactor Xia, this humble monk pays his respects!"

At first, Tang Sanzang was very polite, displaying the dignity of Buddhism, but the next moment he spoke very decisively.

"We're all on the same side, so I won't pretend. Before I came here, Buddha Tathagata gave me a position in the Buddhist hierarchy. If Benefactor Xia is willing to give up the sovereignty of fourteen suns and join my Buddhist sect, he will be known as the Southern Heavenly Pure World Evil King Buddha, ruling the Southern Heavenly Pure World Buddhist Kingdom. This is a newly opened small world, very clean, and quite spacious. You can turn it into whatever you want."

This is the true nature of Jin Chanzi, who dared to sleep during a chairman's meeting!

His point was that if you joined our Buddhist sect, you could not only become a Buddha, but we would also give you territory, making you a Buddha with real power.

This is the ultimate leap from a demonic cultivator to a Buddha!

The legendary Supreme Being has been redeemed!

Xia Zhi paused, waiting a while on purpose.

Buddhism had originally recruited him, and he thought that the Styx Ancestor would step forward and let him join the Blood Sea Cult.

The other party did not respond at all.

So this is the default?

There's not much to say about the summer solstice.

"No problem! I agree!"

You've already become a Buddha, what more could you want!

Before him, Sun Wukong was a professionally trained, high-ranking employee hired through an assessment process. He could only receive a fixed salary, but his status was high.

Tang Sanzang was a trusted confidant cultivated by the chairman. He was often unreliable (sleeping while Buddha was giving a sermon), so he was assigned to the grassroots level to hone his skills. After completing his training, he returned to the company's senior management.

Xia Zhi's situation can be described as him investing with his own capital, enjoying dividends, and being given a new department to manage on his own.

Tang Sanzang felt very proud seeing Xia Zhi agree so quickly.

He directly presented Xia Zhi with a world and a copy of the spirit tablet of the Evil King Buddha of the Southern Heavenly Purification.

In return for the favor, the summer solstice bestowed the sovereignty of the fourteen suns upon Tang Sanzang.

Holding these solar sovereignty items, Tang Sanzang laughed.

"The White Night King is in a fit of rage, causing chaos and disorder in the Garden of Shadows, and the gods are in a panic. I will not stay any longer; I must return the sovereignty of these suns to her. Two hundred and seventy-three years from now, the Buddha Tathagata will be giving a sermon. If the Evil King Buddha is interested, he may come and listen. I will extend an invitation at that time."

Xia Zhi also smiled.

"Then we'll have to trouble the Buddha of Merit."

After Tang Sanzang left, Xia Zhi immediately began refining this spiritual essence and taking over a small, unclaimed world.

Refining a small world, in particular, requires a considerable amount of time.

But Xia Zhi was all smiles.

From now on, we are part of an organization!

Meanwhile, in the Netherworld Blood Sea, the Blood Sea Ancestor smiled wryly and shook his head slightly.

"Silly boy. I, your ancestor, have 84,000 Blood God Sons. I'm involved in Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and even otherworldly deities. Where don't I have my disguise? Why would I stop you from joining Buddhism? You're already grinning from ear to ear over a mere Buddha position. You're still a long way from that level!"

Chapter 373 The Great Sacred Corpse

The Sacred Cliff is located at the border of the Northern and Central Regions. Although it sounds like a cliff, it is actually a range of pitch-black mountains, consisting of more than fifty peaks.

It was originally one of the forbidden zones of life, a mountain range in the Undying Mountain, which was completely uprooted by the Great Accomplished Holy Body and transformed into his secluded cultivation place.

The Great Accomplished Holy Body died violently here in his later years, his blood shooting out for thousands of miles, turning the Holy Cliff into a forbidden area.

Later, someone set their sights on the corpse of the Great Accomplished Holy Body.

That is the immortal Taoist, the incarnation of the immortal emperor who was worshipped by all races.

He awoke from his ancient slumber, wanting to take over the body of the Great Perfection Holy Body after its transformation, but was discovered by the Great Emperor Wushi and sealed in the Holy Cliff with the Investiture of the Gods and the Great Emperor's Array Pattern.

On this day, the Holy King Wang the Madman of Tianxuan Holy Land, Ye Fan, Xiao Nannan, Li Heishui, and the Black Emperor ventured into the Holy Cliff.

They came here guided by the Tianxuan Steps—a secret technique derived from the incomplete Xingzi Secret—in order to find the complete Xingzi Secret.

On the Sacred Cliff, the group traversed the array patterns laid out by the Great Emperor Wushi, battling numerous bizarre creatures along the way, and finally arrived at the center of the Sacred Cliff.

There is a huge ancient coffin here, about a hundred feet long.

The Great Accomplished Holy Body is buried inside.

The ancient coffin has a simple and unadorned design, covered with traces of time, indicating that it has been around for tens of thousands of years.

But what horrified them was that the ancient coffin seemed to have been moved!

Li Heishui wiped the white sweat from his arm and said in horror.

"Could this fully-formed holy body be a zombie? Should we just give up on it?"

Black Emperor was also somewhat frightened, but he was unwilling to leave.

"Everyone is here!"

The old madman cautiously circled the ancient coffin several times, showing no intention of opening it.

He activated the incomplete Xingzi Secret Technique, attempting to resonate with something within the ancient coffin.

He pushed the Tianxuan Steps to their limit, transforming them into a profound Dao diagram that shone brightly amidst the surrounding thick fog.

Soon, the ancient coffin trembled, releasing a similar, but more complex, Dao diagram.

The group was overjoyed and immediately began to study the Dao diagram.

But soon, Ye Fan frowned.

He held the Bodhi seeds in his hand and discovered that some of the Taoist diagrams were blurry and incomplete.
