Chapter 1074 Xuntian Palace

"Nothing!"

Zhou You said calmly, "He killed people the moment he appeared, without uttering a single word!"

"Does Your Excellency still doubt that I invited him?"

The governor next door waved his hands repeatedly, "Absolutely not. The Demon Soldiers and their leaders are all ruthless and insane. To collude with them is like asking a tiger for its skin, and there will be no good end."

“A major case occurred last year. A illegitimate son from a noble family tried to become a disciple of the Demon Soldier King Winged Demon Feather. As a result, his entire family was killed and their human skin was sewn into Winged Demon Feather.”

He paused here, "When a demonic weapon enters the body, one's mindset and thinking are no longer those of an ordinary person. They don't treat others as their own kind at all, and even those who are demonic weapons will kill each other."

Zhou You was increasingly surprised as he listened. This governor had a deep understanding of the demon soldiers and clearly possessed some unusual channels.

"I haven't asked yet..."

"It's nothing special. Throughout history, demonic weapons have vied for supremacy, with countless sacrifices to emerge as a single powerful ruler. Then, these powerful rulers gather to eliminate the weak and retain the strong, and the final victor becomes... the Supreme Demonic Weapon!"

Zhou You was completely unsettled. He knew that this was no ordinary news channel.

He learned how to play the game from the Mind Ring, but where did this governor learn it from?

"To be honest, I once had a very close friend whose name I cannot disclose in order to protect his reputation."

"He once went astray and was corrupted by demonic soldiers. Later, he pulled himself back from the brink and used the secret technique of 'extracting bones, changing blood, and transplanting internal organs' to completely remove the demonic soldiers."

The governor next door lamented, "Although he survived, he has lost all his powers and become a cripple, only able to live."

The statement was vague and didn't specify whether his "friend" was the Lord of the Demon Soldiers or a slave soldier.

But Zhou You didn't want to delve into this. He was very curious. Demon Soldier Village allowed entry but not exit, yet someone still managed to slip through the net. This senior was truly remarkable.

"May I introduce you to that person?"

The neighboring governor said with regret, "I'm sorry, my friend was weak and sickly after his transformation, and he passed away not long after."

He said solemnly, "You must never provoke demonic soldiers. Once you become possessed by demons, only death can free you."

Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Zhou You, the governor of the neighboring prefect exchanged a few pleasantries and then took his leave.

The second son, Jian Chao, left a message for Zhou You: "After you arrive in the capital, come and pay your respects to your master when you have time!"

Ok?
Zhou You just wanted to know if this was the meaning behind the Tiannan Divine Sword.

The second son, Jian, nodded. "That's right. Master wants to see you and ask you about some things in the Southern Frontier."

Lord Shen was stationed far away in the southern border region, and was hailed by the world as a peerless master on par with the Heavenly Sword of the South. However, he sacrificed himself as a pillar of heaven to forever guard the southern border because of the sacrifice of the Heavenly Maiden.

Since Tiannan Divine Sword did not appear at the time, it is understandable that he wanted to inquire about some details afterward.

"must!"

Before leaving, the second son, Jian, glanced at the half-saint Yin Dao and gave him some advice: "If you want to go further in the future, do not become obsessed with the powerful strength of Yin Dao."

"Power beyond one's own is both a ceremonial weapon and a constraint. Once you get used to using the Yin Blade to defeat powerful enemies and neglect your own self-cultivation and improvement, I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it."

This is indeed a golden piece of advice. Although it may not be pleasant to hear, this single sentence perfectly expresses the deep bond between fellow disciples.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Zhou You clasped his hands in thanks to his second son, Jian.

The information that the Supreme Demon Weapon could kill the Enchantress is no longer a secret. Now that the feudal lords and aristocratic families are in civil war, and the Demon Weapon has also become involved, it must be for the purpose of targeting the Enchantress.

The Martial Saint of All Things invented the Supreme Demonic Weapon, but since his death, no one has been able to compete for it. There must be some reason for this: the Enchantress's interference.

The information revealed by the Wu Family Cauldron shows that the Myriad Manifestations Martial Saint, fearing that the Enchantress of the future would distort his will and last wishes, left the Myriad Manifestations Seal in the Shishen Sect as a backup plan.

He had a premonition that finding the Myriad Manifestations Seal was the key to unlocking the Supreme Demon Weapon.

"Does the Shakya sect have any contacts in the area?"

Before leaving Maijingzhou, Zhou You sent several guards to inquire about ways to access the interior of the Shishen Sect.

Soon someone came to report, "Yes, there is a man who claims to be the Lord of the Northern Palace. He has learned that the Lord is inquiring about the Buddhist sect and is requesting an audience outside the gate."

The Northern Palace Master is one of the high-ranking members of the Shakyamuni Sect, and his status is extraordinary.

As mentioned earlier, Buddhism believes that gods do not appear and time is reversed, so the five temples are set up opposite to their actual locations.

For example, the followers of Jiang Nie and others that I encountered in Beixuan Prefecture belonged to the Southern Palace.

The most mysterious Heavenly Palace of the Buddhist sect is located in the capital city, while the Northern Palace is the department active in the southern region.

The Northern Palace Master holds a higher position than the Heavenly King, and the Northern Heavenly King under his command is named Gan Shixiu.

Zhou You remembered that he had met the other person when he first entered Putuo Prefecture. This person was also a remarkable figure of the time.

"..."

Zhou You went out himself and saw a hunched old man wrapped in a black robe, leaning on a cane and waiting for a long time. He looked frail and coughed softly.

Is this the Northern Heavenly King of Buddhism?

Upon seeing Zhou You in the backyard, the old man nodded and said, "Lord Nanchen, I heard you are searching for high-ranking members of the Shishen Sect. Are you interested in joining our sect?"

"Hmm, perhaps the pressure from the Human Race Cult is too great, and you want to increase your bargaining chips in the fight against it."

Zhou You was taken aback; there was so much information to be had. He quickly invited him inside, saying, "Let's talk in detail!"

The Northern Palace Master's robes were thick and dense, covering his entire body from head to toe, so that there was no sound when he walked, only the slight friction of his robes dragging on the ground.

It was as if the robe was several times heavier than his own body.

Although the Northern Palace Master was in poor health, he was very talkative. As soon as he sat down, he began to talk about the doctrines of the Buddhist sect.

His lineage differs from the Western Temple, offering a unique interpretation of 'god-slaying.' They believe that deities reside deep within the human body, representing innate potential, and that the so-called 'release of the gods' is actually a process of cultivating and unleashing one's own potential.

"The Lord of the Western Palace releases the spirit of the gods, while my Northern Palace liberates the physical body, unleashing boundless potential. Reaching the supreme level, one becomes omnipotent, no different from a god."

Zhou You listened patiently and found it very reasonable. The Buddhist sect has been passed down from ancient times to the present, with countless brilliant and talented people joining it, perfecting the doctrine of trading, and incorporating their lifelong learning into it.

The rich "database" of the Buddhist religion passed down through generations is like an infinite secret seal hidden in the Heavenly Palace.

Even the Martial Saint left a secret mark on it, which shows that the treasure mountain hidden in the Heavenly Palace is definitely not just one place.

“Lord of the Northern Palace, I have heard that your Heavenly Palace contains countless secret seals, including those left behind by a Martial Saint.”

Zhou You finally had a chance to express his wishes, "Would you be so kind as to allow me to go inside and have a look?"

The Northern Palace Master, whose body was hidden beneath his black robe, trembled twice before calming down. He countered Zhou You's question, "What does Lord Nanchen wish to obtain from the Heavenly Palace?"

"Is this your own idea, or the idea of ​​the Governor of Li Huo Prefecture? Hmm, if it's the Governor of Li Huo Prefecture's idea, is it related to the Human Race Religion?"
