Chapter 885 - 299: Fated with Buddha (Part 2)
"Amitabha, you have a connection with Buddha, are you willing to join the Buddhist sect and follow this poor monk in cultivation?"
The monk opened his eyes and said with a smile.
Although it was framed as a question, it was stated in a declarative tone, with a compelling force that was hard to refuse.
An invisible wave of energy emanated, stirring Lin Zheyu’s heart, almost making him agree right then and there.
"You son of a bitch!"
Lin Zheyu cursed silently, unable to suppress a shiver.
Ever since he reached the Qi Blood Realm, he hadn’t felt what it was like to have goosebumps.
This damn bald monk actually wanted to trick him into joining the Buddhist sect.
Initially, he had a favorable impression of the Buddhist sect, but he didn’t expect this young monk to pull such a stunt on him.
"I am not yet ready to renounce worldly ties, and have no connection with Buddha, farewell!"
Lin Zheyu cupped his hands and said.
He turned without hesitation and left, abandoning the idea of entering the demon world through this time-space node.
This bald monk left a terrible impression on him, Lin Zheyu really worried that the monk might act dishonorably and attack directly.
After all, being a powerful figure capable of single-handedly suppressing a time-space node, this guy’s strength was frighteningly strong, far beyond what someone like Fan Hongwei could compare to.
Having exchanged pleasantries, and with the Martial Alliance’s backing, and being not far from Demon Suppression City,
this bald monk probably wouldn’t shamelessly attack, would he?
"Amitabha."
The young monk looked in the direction where Lin Zheyu had gone, reciting a Buddha’s name softly.
A look of puzzlement and strangeness flashed in his eyes, quickly returning to a calm and unruffled expression, resuming his chanting of scriptures.
As if nothing had happened just now.
Hoo~~
Lin Zheyu cautiously looked towards the young monk’s direction, and seeing that he was not pursuing him, he let out a small sigh of relief.
"What on earth is with this guy?" Lin Zheyu frowned.
He couldn’t understand what was the deal with that monk just now.
Isn’t Great Wei in cooperation with the Buddhist sect, how could such a terrifyingly strong monk suddenly come up with converting him to Buddhism?
Could it be that I truly have a destiny with Buddha?
Am I the legendary Buddha’s child with an unparalleled Buddhist path talent?
"To hell with being Buddha’s child..."
Lin Zheyu cursed under his breath in disbelief and quickly sped off in another direction.
This time, he specifically chose a known space-time node guarded by the Demon Suppression Army.
Though it was farther, it was safest and most reliable.
"Who’s there, halt!"
As soon as Lin Zheyu reached another space-time node, he was stopped by patrolling soldiers.
"Martial Alliance’s Xiao Yu, here’s my Identity Token."
"I intend to train on the other side of the space-time node, please pass the message along." Lin Zheyu handed over the Identity Token, and said plainly.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
The patrolling soldier respectfully took the token and turned to report to his superiors.
Lin Zheyu silently stood in place, raising his head to look at the giant shadow, which, clad in the fierce armor of the Demon Suppression Army and holding a Demon-Slaying Blade, looked like a Demon God.
This was a Dharma Illusion formed by the military formation.
The massive shadow enveloped the space-time rift at the node, suppressing it to prevent further expansion.
Luckily this time, Lin Zheyu didn’t encounter any mishaps, it was much smoother.
For cultivators as powerful as Lin Zheyu, entering the other side of a space-time node to venture, hunt demons, and seek cultivation resources is quite common.
Lin Zheyu didn’t wait long before he was granted passage.
"This way, sir."
The soldier respectfully returned the token, gesturing invitingly.
Following the soldier, passing through the military formation assembled by soldiers, standing under the giant armored shadow, Lin Zheyu felt the daunting aura.
There were over a thousand soldiers stationed here, all elite troops, with the weakest being at the Refining the Organs level.
The military formation they formed gathered a Dharma Illusion that, Lin Zheyu estimated, could unleash power comparable to a Nascent Soul.
"Suppressing demon will with killing intent, the creator of this cultivation technique is truly a genius."
Lin Zheyu looked up at the enormous Dharma Illusion before him, murmuring softly.
He had cultivated many demon skills, though none were particularly notable, yet he had a deep understanding of demon skills.
From a brief interaction, Lin Zheyu roughly grasped the cultivation technique practiced by the Demon Suppression Army.
The technique they practiced was a variant of demon skills, rapidly enhancing the soldiers’ strength.
At the same time, they utilized killing intent forged in battle, combined with the formidable military will inherent in the formation, to suppress the demonic will imprinted in soldiers after practicing demon skills.
"If there’s a chance, see if I can obtain the Demon Suppression Army’s cultivation technique for study, the integration of military formation into demon skills might bring special insights."
Lin Zheyu pondered to himself.
"Sir, sir, we’re here."
Seeing Lin Zheyu standing under the colossal Dharma Illusion, lost in thought, a soldier reminded him.
"Hmm."
Lin Zheyu nodded slightly.
His toes lightly touched the ground, and his figure instantly disappeared from view, rushing into the rift continuously spewing demonic energy.
...
The barren earth, where the wind howled.
This is the demon’s lair, a forbidden zone for life.
For an ordinary person to come here is akin to seeking death.
On this barren land, numerous eerie plants grow. Some of these plants have life and will abruptly open their bloody mouths, exposing their terrifying fangs.
An elderly man with an immortal demeanor was leisurely walking on this barren land.
Poof—
Suddenly, he slapped his right hand behind him, and a black flower with a wide bloody mouth and exposed terrifying fangs burst open with a poof.
