Chapter 751 Garuda King, one of the Eight Demon Gods
This starship was slightly different in design from the ones Su Che had seen before. It was round and adorable, with various huge characters painted on it in gold powder. Golden light flowed around it, propelling it forward.

The speed is considerably slower.

Its unique design and drastically different operating principles all pointed to the fact that this place was quite far removed from the original world.

I wonder if, if I continue to travel through this universe, I will ever find the blue planet from which I was born.

As Su Che was thinking this, another change occurred on the round starship.

A strong figure stood at the bow of the ship.

Its head resembles a lion's, and it stands a foot tall with dark skin. Sharp claws grow on its four arms. It is dressed quite simply, wearing loose trousers that are tightened at the ankles, while its upper body is bare, revealing its bulging muscles.

What a mighty Rakshasa demon!

Su Che discerned the source of this creature's bloodline, suggesting a connection to the Western Buddhist Kingdom of his own realm. There, eight classes of demons and gods were categorized into the Six Realms, and this lion-like monster appeared to be one of them, a Rakshasa.

This creature is similar to a Yaksha, and is a ghost or deity in the hungry ghost realm of the six realms, born with magical powers.

Yakshas are swift by nature and enjoy devouring vital essence. Rakshasas are warlike by nature and especially love blood.

Both of these are types of hungry ghosts that possess supernatural powers and cannot be regarded as ordinary hungry ghosts.

Could this be the sphere of influence of some Buddhist sect?
Su Che was overjoyed. Since the Star Chariot had appeared, it proved that there were cultivators. He had finally escaped his aimless wandering and had finally seen hope again.

The Rakshasa demon stood at the bow of the ship, holding up a pearl no bigger than a thumb.

Although his cultivation level was probably only around the Divine Soul Realm, and the surrounding area was a deep and cold void, he seemed to have a unique ability in his bloodline, which allowed him to withstand the cold and vacuum and stay in the void for a short time.

The pearl emitted bursts of white light, its radiance flickering and shimmering, like a curtain that directly separated the star belt.

The Rakshasa demon frowned, momentarily dazed.

Although he was a rare earth-walking Rakshasa among the Rakshasa sect, and was born able to endure the cold of the void, if he stayed outside for too long, his flesh and blood would still be torn apart.

Based on previous calculations, there should indeed be a Shadow Naga here.

That's the Azure-Eyed Garuda King's favorite food; if you can catch one, you can make a huge profit.

However, for some reason, that shadowy Naga remained hidden in the shadows and refused to come out, even when lured by the pearl light.

Could it be that other hunting boats passed by earlier and disturbed this beast?

While he was hesitating, music started playing on the other side.

In such a void, sound has no source and will not make any noise.

However, this music was carried by divine thought. As the divine thought spread, it formed a clever net. Because it was carried by divine thought, the music was not an intangible thing. Instead, golden waves of light flowed endlessly for many years, with chanting sounds of Sanskrit, which was particularly spectacular.

In the golden light, a burly man with a horse's head appeared, holding a pipa in his hand and playing it continuously with both hands.

With a horse's head and a human body, and being proficient in music, could he be Kinnara, one of the eight classes of ghosts and gods in Buddhism?
Su Che had heard that this race was also divided into men and women, but the men had horse heads while the women were like ordinary people, born with the ability to make wonderful sounds and were proficient in music. He never expected to see one of them on this star raft.

The music finally stirred the ferocity of the shadowy Naga, causing it to manifest its original form in the void.

It was a monster that resembled both a dragon and a snake. Although it was shaped like a snake, it had no scales. Its head was like a dragon, but it had no horns or mane. It was over ten zhang long, but its body was not large when it was spread out. It stirred up wisps of black energy and rushed towards the star raft.

It turned out to be a Naga.

Su Che watched carefully from the side.

He had seen this creature in Huang Tiandao's books before. It was a kind of creature from outer space, divided into many kinds, and it was said to be quite related to the dragon race.

However, there aren't many races that aren't related to the dragon race. Most of the ancient demon gods were from these races that came from the void.

The dark gray Naga became ferocious, opening its massive maw and stretching its entire body outwards. Originally, its form resembled a long snake, but now, its entire body seemed to have shifted to a width-based extension.

That enormous maw could practically swallow the entire starship whole.

As expected of a creature that grows in the void, its physical body is as if it were made of clay.

Just as the starship was about to be swallowed whole by the Naga, a refreshing fragrance suddenly wafted out from within it.

Like a solitary orchid in a secluded valley, standing alone in the world; or like a peony with its rich and intense golden stamens. Completely opposite flavors bloom in an instant.

A divine attack?

Su Che sniffed the aroma and noticed something different.

By starting with the five flavors, one can then influence the spirit and soul.

It seemed to be a demonic technique, but it was completely the opposite.

It's an illusion, yet not entirely an illusion...

That's quite ingenious.

As a general store owner, Su Che was also aware of his role in selling general merchandise. Since he already had many skills, he might as well learn more and acquire more knowledge and expertise.

If we're going to sell groceries, we're going to sell them to the end.

The fragrance was fleeting, but it did make the Naga pause for a moment. In that brief instant, a white light flashed, and streams of magical power surged from the star raft, binding the Naga tightly.

A series of chanting sounds emanated from the star raft, shaking the void, and the Naga's figure grew smaller and smaller...

Finally, the star raft suddenly opened, revealing several figures of different shapes inside. The leader opened a small clean bottle in his hand and completely put it inside.

The person's upper body resembled that of an ordinary woman, but his lower body was that of a snake. He was ugly, with scales covering his head and a deep blue color. He was none other than Mahoraga, one of the eight demon gods.

She carefully held the vase, spoke a few words, and the Rakshasa demon leaped inside.

With a thought, Su Che's figure moved like a gentle breeze, directly following the scenery and entering the star raft.

On this star raft, there are at most a few cultivators at the Divine Soul Realm. Although they are all of the Eightfold Path of Buddhism, their supernatural powers are ultimately limited. How could they possibly detect someone like Young Master Su?
Su Che entered the star raft, carefully concealing his figure. Relying on his extremely fast speed, he used the Breathing Void Secret Technique passed down by Kong Kong'er, truly employing the technique of "blinding the view with a leaf."

He found a secluded corner and carefully hid himself.

Although these eight demons spoke in a special tone, Young Master Su was, after all, someone who had once possessed the Future Star Tribulation Scripture and comprehended a fundamental Buddhist light. Before long, he understood what they were saying.

It is what is called "Sanskrit Pure Language" in Buddhism, and can be considered the common language in Buddhism.

It turns out that this group of eight demons and spirits were actually a group of familiar boat people who wandered in the void, searching for various resources and then exchanging them for other supplies.

Leading the group was the Mahoraga, also known as the Earth Dragon. She was the owner of this starship.

Besides her, there was another Rakshasa on the ship, namely the burly man with a lion's head and four arms, and a Gandharva, a beautiful woman who was the source of the fragrance earlier. As for the man with the horse's head, he was a Kinnara.

Besides the four of them, there were also seven monkeys, each about half a person's height, on the ship. They seemed to have gained intelligence and did manual labor on the star raft, serving as servants.

Su Che concealed himself and listened carefully to their conversation.

"I wonder how much money such a Naga could fetch if it were sent to Cloud City."

The Rakshasa cautiously examined the vase.

Despite his tall stature, he was nowhere near as tall as Mahoraga.

"Garuda loves to eat the flesh of Naga, and the Azure-Eyed King is a well-known wealthy man. He once offered 365 Mani Jewels to the Buddha of Compassion and Salvation. This Naga is so plump and delicious, we've really hit the jackpot this time."

The horse-headed, human-bodied Kinnara stared greedily at the vase in the snake woman's hand.

Something just happened.

As the beautiful woman carefully spoke, her figure and face, though beautiful and charming, were constantly changing, her entire form seemingly flowing like wisps of smoke.

"It seems to have been frightened by something. Could there be other hunting boats nearby?"

After saying this, the snake woman frowned.

Its face has no hair at all; what it calls eyebrows are just a cluster of scales.

"Never mind all that, let's go to Yuncheng first."
