The Purple-Robed Celestial Master has turned into a zombie?! Who can stand that?!

From Chapter 56 onwards, you shall follow me; you shall inherit Zhuoyangzi's Ghost Buddha Skill. (First update! Please continue reading!)

After accepting Zhuoyangzi, Zhang Tianlu heard a reward notification in his ear.

Subdued a 9000-year-old demon and received the following rewards: [Ghost Buddha Skill], [Flesh and Blood Tai Sui], [Yin Tian Gang Thirty-Six Transformations - Nine Breaths of Qi Absorption], and 50 points!
It’s all good stuff!
The Ghost Buddha Skill is a technique that Zhuoyangzi himself comprehended from Buddhist records of rebirth, and he perfected and perfected it over many years.

It encompasses a variety of supernatural powers, including: the indestructible Buddha body, the Ghost Buddha Tathagata's palm, the Heavenly Demon Buddha finger, and the Ghost Buddha's sixteen-foot golden body, among others.

Zhang Tianlu didn't think much of it, but keeping it to train his subordinates later was a good option.

[Flesh and Blood Tai Sui],
"Tai Sui," also known as "meat Lingzhi," is an extremely rare spiritual entity. It represents the original state of life and is a highly valuable ancestral spiritual material in the cultivation world, with countless wondrous uses.

Between heaven and earth, Tai Sui is like a blank sheet of paper. There is no rule for the formation of Tai Sui. It is completely born randomly by nature.

Tai Sui will also grow into different types of Tai Sui depending on the different growth environments and the different spiritual energy it absorbs from heaven and earth.

Growing in blessed lands and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it will grow into a 'Spiritual Tai Sui'. If a mortal eats a piece of it, he will gain a thousand years of lifespan; if a cultivator obtains a small piece, he can gain a hundred years of cultivation.

Those that grow in places where evil energies converge will become 'Yin Tai Sui' or 'Ghost Tai Sui'.

This kind of Tai Sui (a type of celestial body) is nourished by yin and evil energy, feeds on humans, and is full of malevolent energy. It is a great tonic for evil spirits and demons, but it is of no benefit to humans.

The flesh and blood Tai Sui rewarded by the system is the most special type of Tai Sui. It cannot be eaten and is a symbiotic organism.

Creatures possessed by the Flesh and Blood Tai Sui will gradually have their cultivation and consciousness devoured by the Flesh and Blood Tai Sui.

The longer it goes on, the more it devours, gradually consuming the consciousness of the possessed person and turning them into a completely new, independent individual.

After the devouring was complete, the flesh and blood Tai Sui possessed twice the strength of its original owner.

Moreover, it is a one-to-one replica, and the flesh and blood Tai Sui also possesses the supernatural powers and abilities of the original owner who was symbiotic with it.

Only memories and consciousness will be washed away!

It's like formatting memories and consciousness, keeping only the most useful things, and even enhancing them.

This stuff is great!
Zhang Tianlu can directly use this thing to coexist with Zhuoyangzi.

Zhuoyangzi's cultivation level is 9000 years. After the flesh and blood Tai Sui coexisted with it and devoured its consciousness, he was able to regain a completely obedient flesh and blood Buddha.

Moreover, the cultivation level doubles from nine thousand years to eighteen thousand years!
This is a bit scary!

With 9000 years of cultivation, Zhuoyangzi was an absolute peak demon emperor among all the great demons.

The flesh and blood Tai Sui merged with it, directly becoming a top-level ten-thousand-year-old demon emperor.

Moreover, he was a demon emperor with nearly 20,000 years of cultivation!

Zhang Tianlu turned his gaze to the third reward.

[Yin Tian Gang Thirty-Six Transformations - Nine Breaths of Breath Absorption]!
Supernatural Power Description: The ultimate Taoist breathing technique, involving nine breaths of inhalation and exhalation, can absorb all the primordial energy of heaven and earth, ghostly energy, malevolent energy, yin energy, demonic energy, and other energies of the world into magical power.

Extremely domineering, with every breath, all the energy of heaven and earth is at my disposal!
The ultimate breathing practice.

All rewards have been claimed.

Zhang Tianlu descended and stepped into Fenglei Mountain.

People from Longhu Mountain, Sanqing Mountain, Fazhong Temple, and the Buddhist Association are all here on Fenglei Mountain.

Everyone present was alarmed as the third-generation patriarch of Longhu Mountain descended.

After all, this is a Dao Ancestor who has transformed into a corpse.

Nobody knew what he would do with that.

When Monk Liaozhen saw Zhang Tianlu, his legs felt a little weak for some reason.

I still vividly remember the time I failed to solo Zhang Tianlu's dungeon at Chengnan Reservoir and was almost fed to the mudskippers by Zhang Tianlu.

Originally, I wanted my master to get revenge for me. But I didn't manage to get revenge after all.

His master was immediately suppressed by Zhang Tianlu under the Wind and Thunder Profound Tower.

The monk Liaozhen hid to one side, not daring to breathe loudly, for fear of attracting attention.

Xuanzhen Celestial Master then said, "Xuanzhen greets the Ancestor."

Although he had met the patriarch a few times before, and each time he was beaten up by the patriarch.

But Xuanzhen also noticed that although his ancestor had turned into a corpse, he had been accommodating to him on both occasions they met.

The first time outside the tomb in Yecheng, the patriarch took away his Celestial Master Sword with a single move, but instead of taking it, he returned it to him.

The second time, at the South City Reservoir, the Old Ancestor used Monk Yuankong and Monk Liaozhen as bait, but he didn't do anything to Master Xuanzhen and the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain.

What does this prove?
This proves that although the ancestor had transformed into a corpse, he still possessed his own consciousness.

And they take good care of their descendants.

Therefore, Xuanzhen had no choice but to be tactful and bow to the patriarch upon seeing him.

The Taoist priests from Sanqing Mountain nearby saw the Dragon Tiger Mysterious True Celestial Master paying homage to the patriarch.

They exchanged a glance and bowed in greeting.

After all, he was the founder of Taoism, and Longhu Mountain is the ancestral home of Taoism.

Those who enter the Taoist path, upon seeing this person, who would dare not bow?
Zhang Tianlu glanced at these Taoist descendants but didn't say anything more.

Instead, he went straight to the withered and flourishing monk who was suppressed by the Wind and Thunder Mystic Pagoda.

The monk Kurong looked at Zhang Tianlu, who had turned into a corpse.

He roared, "I am the Buddhist monk Ku Rong, a highly accomplished practitioner under the Buddha's tutelage! You fiend, why don't you release this old monk? If you anger the Buddha, can you bear the consequences?"

Seeing this withered old monk still stubbornly clinging to life.

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Tianlu unleashed a bolt of lightning that struck him from the three Wind and Thunder Towers.

The last person to show off in front of me was Zhuoyangzi.
He impersonated the Buddha in front of Lao Tzu, and you've seen what happened to him.

What are you trying to fool me with?
A highly accomplished practitioner under the Buddha.

People who don't know you might think you're some kind of Buddha or Bodhisattva.

Pretending, right?
See if my lightning strikes you.

A bolt of lightning struck Ku Rong and silenced him.

Zhang Tianlu sneered, "You brat, a high-level cultivator? The frontline reporter Zhuoyangzi has already exposed you for it."

Unscrupulous workshops, two-faced.
As the previous abbot of Fazhong Temple and currently the most senior Buddhist in terms of cultivation, he is practicing the art of life-extending within Daleiyin Temple.

By borrowing the lifespan of worshippers and believers, one prolongs one's own life; the worshippers kowtow, and one benefits from both prosperity and decline!
Moreover, Zhang Tianlu said: You don't really think I'm afraid of the Buddha, do you?

Even if the Buddha of the Western Paradise really came today, do you think he would dare to touch me?

Even if I were to kill you right in front of Buddha, you would still have to thank me for cleaning up your own house.

Moreover, let alone a heretical monk like Kurong, even if it were a truly highly accomplished Buddhist monk, Zhang Tianlu would slap him twice without giving him any temper.

Zhang Tianlu: "Stop talking nonsense. Don't go back to Fazhong Temple. From now on, follow me. You will inherit Zhuoyangzi's Ghost Buddha Skill."

Zhang Tianlu said that he was just short of men to carry his coffin, and that Ku Rong was destined to join his Taoist sect. He said that he would bring Ku Rong into his sect today and that he would be one of his coffin bearers from now on.
