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

Chapter 58 Cultivation in the Coffin, the Actions of the Fazhong Temple (First Update! Please Read On! Please Vote!!)
On Fenglei Mountain, at the dragon's lair point,

A huge Buddha statue was covered by a layer of fleshy Tai Sui. The skin of this fleshy Tai Sui slowly writhed, devouring Zhuo Yangzi and constantly growing stronger.

Zhang Tianlu took out the Ten Thousand Souls Banner and placed it next to the coffin.

A huge black banner fluttered in the wind.

He summoned six demon kings from within the black banner.

They are the Red-Clad Female Ghost King, the Eunuch Ghost King, and the Infant Ghost King from the South City Reservoir.

And the three ghost kings under the command of the underworld god Sun General, whom I subdued in Yuejiang Manor: Chu Renmei, Kayako, and Dahei Guimu!
After Chu Renmei, Kayako, and the Great Black Demon Mother were scattered by Yang Jian, they were taken into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner by Zhang Tianlu and refined.

They have now been completely subdued by Zhang Tianlu.

These six ghost kings were previously stored inside the Myriad Souls Banner by Zhang Tianlu, but they have now been released.

Zhang Tianlu had them guard the Dharma here, and incidentally occupy the Dragon's Lair of Fenglei Mountain for cultivation.

Fenglei Mountain is located on a dragon vein and in a dragon's lair. There is a lot of spiritual energy on the dragon vein.

This spiritual energy is also beneficial to vengeful spirits; cultivating within the Fenglei Mountain area will yield twice the results with half the effort.
One day of practice can be equivalent to ten days of effort.

You can gain 10 years' worth of skill in just 1 year!

Zhang Tianlu's coffin was placed in an even better location, a dragon's lair, where one day's worth of power was equivalent to 20 days' worth.

This is equivalent to a 20-fold increase in cultivation speed!

This is why prestigious sects occupy blessed lands and grottoes.

A good feng shui location can greatly enhance one's spiritual practice.

Cultivation on Mount Longhu is faster; in an ordinary temple at the foot of Mount Longhu, one day of cultivation is equivalent to ten days of cultivation.

In the Celestial Master's Mansion, where the treasure cave of Longhu Mountain is located, one day of cultivation is equivalent to 30 days of cultivation for an ordinary person.

One day of diligent practice is equivalent to a month of arduous cultivation for others!

One year of arduous training at the Celestial Master's Mansion can provide the same level of skill as an ordinary person over twenty-four years.

Why are the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain so powerful?
It is related to blessed lands and grottoes.

This generation of Xuanzhen Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain has cultivated on Longhu Mountain for 40 years.

Longhu Mountain directly increased his internal energy to 960 years.

Humans are born as the masters of heaven and earth, the heads of all spirits. With cultivation, they are born with 500 years of internal energy. Add to that the Zhang family's Celestial Master bloodline, and they possess 1000 years of cultivation. The thunder magic of the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain can kill those with 2000 years of cultivation, even those of higher levels.
This is equivalent to the current generation of Xuanzhen Celestial Master, who possesses 4460 years of internal energy.

Therefore, killing ordinary thousand-year-old demons was a piece of cake for Xuanzhen.

Only demons over 5000 years old pose a threat to Xuanzhen.

The location of the dragon's lair in Fenglei Mountain is not as good as the location of the dragon's head in Longhu Mountain.

Therefore, the increase wasn't as dramatic as that of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

But it's enough.

One day's cultivation increases the merit by ten days.

It is already considered a first-class blessed land.

Zhang Tianlu allowed these six ghost kings to cultivate here and also serve as protectors.

Then he opened the coffin lid and flew into the coffin.

He's a zombie; cultivating in a coffin is twice as effective.

Especially the coffin made of ancient ebony, inside which Zhang Tianlu lay...

The Wind and Thunder Mountain Dragon Cave amplifies power by 20 times, the Ten-Thousand-Year Ebony Coffin amplifies power by 10 times, the Nine Breaths Qi Cultivation amplifies power by 10 times, and the Undying Corpse Immortal Technique amplifies power by 10 times!
With all these amplifications combined, Zhang Tianlu's own cultivation amplification was much higher than that of the Celestial Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain alone.

Within the Celestial Master's Mansion, the auspicious feng shui of the land only increases by 30 times.

Zhang Tianlu's dragon lair, coffin, supernatural powers, and cultivation techniques can be stacked to provide up to a 50-fold increase in cultivation power.

One day is equivalent to 50 days; one year of cultivation is equivalent to 50 years of cultivation for an ordinary person.

Inside the coffin, he first extracted the Purple Zombie Divine Fire.
As a wisp of eerie purple flame appeared inside the coffin, Zhang Tianlu could clearly sense that the temperature of this flame was extremely low.

Ordinary flames are extremely hot and belong to the category of yang fire.

However, the zombie's "zombie fire" is a type of "yin fire," but its low temperature does not mean it is weak in power.

A single spark of fire can incinerate everything.

Zhang Tianlu used the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Technique to absorb the dragon vein energy and spiritual energy of heaven and earth within Fenglei Mountain for cultivation.

He frantically activated the Undying Corpse Immortal Technique within his body.

At the same time, he began to slowly absorb the purple zombie divine fire in front of him using the Undying Corpse Immortal Technique.

Visible to the naked eye, wisps of flame energy were constantly being injected into Zhang Tianlu's body from the source of the Purple Zombie Divine Fire.

At this rate of absorption, Zhang Tianlu estimates that it will take another half month to fully absorb the nutrients.

The process seems to be very long.

In reality, this is a second-class divine fire of heaven and earth. The one that can rival this flame is the Samadhi True Fire from mythology.

That's the same one that Red Boy used to burn Sun Wukong back then.

You won't lose money even after half a month!
For the next two weeks, Zhang Tianlu remained inside the coffin in seclusion, without making any move.

After returning to Longhu Mountain, Master Xuanzhen kept a close eye on news from Fenglei Mountain, fearing that the patriarch might make a big move.

Fortunately, half a month has passed, and it seems that their ancestor has not left Fenglei Mountain for more than half a month.

Xuanzhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Just don't cause trouble.

Back at Fazhong Temple, Monk Liaozhen returned to the temple.

He told the abbot of Fazhong Temple about what happened on Fenglei Mountain.

Liaozhen was merely the Vinaya Master of Fazhong Temple, in charge of all the temple's Vinaya rules. In terms of status, he was equivalent to the Vice Abbot of Fazhong Temple, but he was not the Abbot after all.

The current abbot of Fazhong Temple has the Dharma name 'Liaoxing'.
He was the senior brother of Monk Liaozhen.

After returning to Fazhong Temple, Liaozhen embellished the story of how his master, Master Kurong, was captured by the third-generation patriarch of Longhu Mountain at Fenglei Mountain and told the abbot about it.

Of course, he kept some things that were unfavorable to him, such as the matter of borrowing lifespan through decay and prosperity, to himself.

These things, of course, cannot be discussed, because they involve him as well.

The monk Kurong secluded himself in Wanfo Cave for 10 years, during which time he maintained his lifespan through a method of spiritual practice.

If this matter really comes to light and is investigated, even the monk Liaozhen won't be able to escape punishment.

Therefore, Liao Zhen kept a part of it, only saying that the third-generation patriarch of Longhu Mountain appeared and suppressed and detained Master Kurong, whose fate is now unknown.

The monk Kurong also held a very high position in Buddhism.

Moreover, he was also a senior martial uncle who had attained enlightenment, so when he heard that Kurong had an accident, and that he had been captured by the Taoist sect's ancestor of corpse transformation, the Celestial Master, he was very familiar with the situation.

One cannot simply ignore one's own nature and actions.

Therefore, he posted an announcement on the official website of Fazhong Temple, tagging @Longhushan.

"We strongly condemn Longhu Mountain for condoning the reanimation of its sect's founder, failing to discipline him, and allowing him to run rampant, committing heinous acts of arson, murder, and looting."

"Longhu Mountain has condoned the resurrection of the three generations of Celestial Masters and captured our Venerable Ku Rong from Fazhong Temple. Now, the fate of our Venerable Master is unknown. We hereby give Longhu Mountain three days to hand over Venerable Ku Rong, or we will take legal action and show no leniency!"

As soon as Fazhong Temple issued this announcement,
Instantly, tensions rose between them and Longhu Mountain.

The target was Longhushan, and they demanded that Longhushan hand over the people.

Meanwhile, this news was also widely shared online, climbing into the top ten trending topics on various platforms.

On various Chinese social media platforms, many netizens have started watching the drama unfold.

Are Longhu Mountain and Fazhong Temple about to go to war?
