After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Zhou Yan smiled wryly and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Medicine Buddha.

"Please enlighten us, Buddha."

The Medicine Buddha said calmly.

"South Heavenly Gate".

Zhou Yan took a step back.

Nantianmen?

Zhou Yan had been to the South Heavenly Gate. There was a group of fallen True Gods there. These True Gods had even hunted down Zhou Yan, and he only survived because of the protection of the Goddess Houtu.

Based on his experience of being chased and ganged up on, Zhou Yan felt that these true gods posed no threat to him. Back when he first obtained his mythical form, they couldn't even kill him. Now that his awakening level was almost 90%, what made them think they could possibly...?

"Su Zhaojun..."

Zhou Yan murmured.

The daughter of Su Yue, the queen of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, seems to have an unclear and ambiguous relationship with me. I brought this child to the South Heavenly Gate, and she seems to have something in her possession that could threaten me.

Within the entire South Heavenly Gate, if the Heavenly Emperor doesn't intervene, the only one who could pose a threat to me is this girl.

Zhou Yan had thought that when the time was right, he would go to Nantianmen to secretly find Su Zhaojun and see what his past life had left for his present life. However, since this matter was not really important, Zhou Yan had put it off and had no motivation to go see it.

Now that the Medicine Buddha had reminded him, Zhou Yan realized that danger had been brewing inexplicably.

"Bai Ze understands."

Zhou Yan clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Medicine Buddha.

"Bai Ze will go and take a look at the South Heavenly Gate now."

The Medicine Buddha shook his head slightly.

"If you go there this time, the chances of survival are slim."

Zhou Yan gazed intently at the Medicine Buddha.

"Buddha, can't we just say what we have to say all at once? Can't you catch your breath?"

Zhou Yan knew very well that leaving things unsaid was the privilege of big shots, but at this point, he was still the savior of the Medicine Buddha, so couldn't he just speak clearly and say everything that needed to be said?

The Medicine Buddha smiled very kindly.

"It's because you agreed too quickly. I had a lot to say before you even got to the point where you had already decided what to do."

Zhou Yan didn't want to argue about these useless, time-wasting topics.

"Buddha, please tell me how I can overcome this calamity."

The Medicine Buddha clasped his hands together and softly chanted "Amitabha."

“Benefactor, if you wish to survive this calamity, you should go to Mingyue Temple and find Bodhisattva Samantabhadra. He has a fragment of your divine essence there. Once you find it, you will be able to survive this disaster.”

Zhou Yan: "Σ(゜ロ゜;)"

Mingyue Temple, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva...

Zhou Yan remembered that Yinglong had also told him that his divine fragments were in Mingyue Temple, and if he wanted to complete himself, he would have to go to Bodhisattva Samantabhadra.

When Yinglong spoke, he couldn't help but laugh. Zhou Yan could tell from his expression that if he went to Mingyue Temple, he would probably encounter a lot of dangers, or even something more terrible.

Therefore, Zhou Yan had absolutely no desire to go to Mingyue Temple.

"That, Medicine Buddha..."

Zhou Yan swallowed.

"I must have a lot of fragments, right? Can't I go to other places?"

Medicine Buddha glanced at Zhou Yan indifferently. No matter how Zhou Yan looked at it, he felt that Medicine Buddha's gaze was full of information, as if he had a lot to say, but he couldn't express it clearly, so he looked like he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

中※♂!∫：究、】八2ˇˉ∮…≌/】‖：． 儛“Benefactor…”

The Medicine Buddha spoke in a calm tone.

"Currently, only Guangming Temple has fragments of the donors; other temples do not have any fragments of the donors' items."

The fragmented worlds possessed by Mount Ling are only a small part; most are in the hands of different Heavenly Emperors, waiting for the right time to be inserted into the main world.

Zhou Yan: "..."

Zhou Yan had a feeling that Ying Long's earlier tantrums might have been intentional, deliberately letting him know that going to Mingyue Temple was dangerous, so that he wouldn't dare to go.

Then now, knowing that he has to go to Mingyue Temple to survive, Yinglong can only look at his own face full of resentment and anger, and can only lower his head and go to Mingyue Temple for his own life.

TMD...

No wonder he's a long-time colleague of Bai Ze.

Like the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, were they assimilated by Bai Ze?

Unfortunately, he couldn't defeat Yinglong. This wasn't a matter of awakening level; even with Bai Ze at full awakening level, he still couldn't beat Yinglong at full awakening level back then.

As the Empress's consort, Yinglong possessed supernatural powers almost comparable to those of the Heavenly Emperor.

The nine-colored deer walked to Zhou Yan's side and nudged him with its little horns.

"Brother, what is Mingyue Temple? How about Qingcai goes to Mingyue Temple with you?"

Zhou Yan pushed Qingcai away bitterly and asked the Medicine Buddha.

"Buddha Bhaisajyaguru, is there any danger at this Mingyue Temple?"

Since we can't escape our fate of going to Mingyue Temple, let's find out what dangers there are and see if we can avoid them in advance.

After all, I am an auspicious beast, and my luck has always been good.

It should be...

After a moment of contemplation, the two Medicine Buddhas spoke.

"Inside Mingyue Temple... besides Samantabhadra, there is also Erlang Shen."

Umbrella Zhou Yan: "(?_?)"

San Zhouyan seemed to have heard that he often played with Erlang Shen, but if it was just for fun, Erlang Shen shouldn't have any grudge against him, right?

Mio caused all this trouble herself. At most, Erlang Shen will just ignore her, right?

Seemingly wanting to shatter Zhou Yan's delusions, the Medicine Buddha continued.

"It seems that Erlang Shen and Bai Buzhu have a deep-seated grudge."

The nine-colored deer was puzzled.

Is this Erlang Shen a bad person?

In the eyes of the Nine-Colored Deer, Zhou Yan is the best brother in the world, and anyone who doesn't get along with her brother must be the worst person in the world.

The Medicine Buddha looked at Zhou Yan with a subtle expression, and Zhou Yan licked his lips.

"Um, Medicine Buddha...did I offend Erlang Shen before?"

Chapter Twenty-Five: Revenge is the Best Policy

The Medicine Buddha's expression was complex.

The Medicine Buddha has lived for countless years and has been reincarnated countless times, having worked as a man, woman, young and old, in all walks of life. He has witnessed countless vicissitudes of life and experienced countless joys and sorrows.

But when he thought of Bai Ze, he still felt complicated.

This white-haired beast has really done too many outrageous things.

"Have……"

The Medicine Buddha's tone was somewhat somber.

Zhou Yan shuddered.

"What did I do to offend Erlang Shen in the past?"

Zhou Yan said in his previous life that Bai Ze was the grandfather of the Four Dragon Kings. That's why he went to Nezha to plot revenge when he saw his own child being bullied, and bullied so badly.

So logically speaking, Zhou Yan thought that Erlang Shen, a guy with a good reputation who always had a legitimate reason for fighting and causing trouble, shouldn't be the one Bai Ze would target.

At most, it's just a bit of fun, like that of Su Yinjun, the Fox King of Qingqiu.

But the kind of fun that Su Yinjun had to go through to the death is also considered a fight to the death...‰〖柒∽々八≮～」

The Medicine Buddha closed his eyes, seemingly unwilling to look at the wicked creature before him.

"Back then, you spread rumors that Erlang Shen was incredibly audacious and, when a certain female immortal descended to earth, secretly found an incarnation to become her husband."

Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just a small rumor.

In fact, deities arise according to karmic conditions. The incarnation that descends to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation has nothing to do with the original body. When the incarnation's karmic conditions are exhausted, it is considered to have died completely and will not affect the original body at all.

The rumor that Erlang Shen was seeking a substitute to marry was something that the gods despised, but that was all it was—despised.

"Afterwards, you took the initiative to help Yang Jian overcome his tribulation, thus becoming his savior."

At this moment, the Medicine Buddha couldn't help but sigh.

"Erlang Shen originally had a lot of complaints about you, but after that incident, his opinion of you changed a lot."

A normal person hearing this would probably think that since they had saved Erlang Shen, their relationship must be very close. But Zhou Yan felt a chill run down his spine after hearing this.

Zhou Yan said nervously.

"Then...did I use my reputation as Erlang Shen's savior to slander Yang Erlang everywhere?"

The Medicine Buddha nodded without speaking.

Zhou Yan rubbed his forehead.

Here it comes, here it comes, here comes a lot of fun.

Bai Ze saved Yang Erlang, and then spread rumors about Yang Erlang everywhere as his savior. If Yang Erlang gets angry and seeks revenge, he will be repaying kindness with enmity and will be unworthy of being a god. If he does nothing, his reputation will only get worse and worse.

Bai Ze (transfer): 児○∧9△≈、》←四 This operation of showing kindness on one hand and stirring up hatred on the other will probably make an honest man like Yang Erlang so angry that he'll bleed from all seven orifices.

Moreover, let Yang Erlang figure it out. Anyway, if he lets Bai Ze spread rumors, his reputation will be ruined. If he repays kindness with enmity, his reputation will also be ruined. Since it will be ruined anyway, why not beat Bai Ze up to vent his anger?

So if I try to rescue Yang Erlang later, he'll probably just shoot me with a three-pointed double-edged sword right in front of me. If he doesn't smash my face in, he's not Yang Erlang of Guanjiangkou.

"I see."

Zhou Yan stood up. In this situation, what could he do if he got beaten up, or what could he do if he didn't? He was already in this state, so he had no choice at all.

Zhou Yan looked at the nine-colored deer, and the young man stroked the deer's head to comfort it.

"Brother has to go out for a while now. Qingcai, you rest here and brother will come to pick you up soon."

The nine-colored deer obediently made "uh-uh" sounds.

"Don't worry, brother, Qingcai will be good and obedient."

Zhou Yan then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Medicine Buddha.

“Medicine Buddha, I’ll leave Qingcai with you.”

The Medicine Buddha nodded.

"Unless this humble monk passes away, I will ensure the nine-colored deer's safety."

Zhou Yan left Dayuan Temple with satisfaction and walked to Mingyue Temple, where Samantabhadra Bodhisattva was located.

After pacing back and forth at the door for a long time, Zhou Yan finally reached the main entrance, pushed it open, and stepped inside.

Now that the global crisis has been resolved, Si Xiaoyanjun will no longer accompany Zhou Yansan on his adventures, so Lu can only rely on himself.

You have to rely on yourself for everything!

The moment Zhou Yan stepped into the gate of Mingyue Temple, everything went black.

……

My head feels dizzy and my body feels weak.

A slit appeared in the darkness before Zhou Yan's eyes, and the young man propped himself up halfway on the bed.

"arrive?"

As his vision gradually cleared, Zhou Yan looked around. He found himself in a large bedroom that was at least fifteen square meters in size. The bedroom contained a wardrobe, a desk, and an expensive-looking carpet covering the floor.
