Chapter 746 Great Heavenly Dragon Temple
"Who is speaking!"

Jiu Xiang snapped out of his daze and shouted, his expression solemn. Even a Jade Purity Realm expert who specializes in concealment couldn't sneak up right under his nose; such a person must be an immortal at the very least.

no answer.

A figure casually swung his hand, striking the head of the Nine Ministers directly. From the skull to the jaw, then to the throat, neck, chest, and lungs, the hand blade instantly killed him. Brain matter, blood, bone fragments, and internal organs mixed together, releasing a strong stench of blood.

A piece of soft armor, at the level of a semi-divine soldier, shattered into dust.

On the meditation cushion, Changsun Yourong's eyes changed slightly.

He is at the Ascension Realm, and a very young one at that. He possesses the absolute power to easily crush semi-immortal weapons and armor, and there is even a high probability that he will ascend to the Dao.

"Wash yourself clean," Jiang He said calmly.

Changsun Yourong possesses a magnanimity comparable to Pei Qinghan, yet her face is that of a stunningly beautiful young woman for her age.

“Senior, I am the legitimate daughter of the Immortal Clan. A woman cannot serve two husbands. After tonight, please accompany me to the Great Heavenly Dragon Division. I have no intention of concealing anything, but there is indeed some trouble there.”

"It's just taking advantage of them; it's only human nature."

Changsun Yourong's expression shifted slightly as she turned and walked towards the pool.

Jiang He remained calm. He was originally going to seize the position of the Demon-Slaying Arhat, and the girl in front of him possessed a primal charm that reached ten points. She would inevitably become one of the nutrients for the Hidden Immortal Chapter to advance to the Undying level. Such a beauty was too hard to find, and it was rare to encounter her through the power of destiny. There was absolutely no reason to waste her.

Half an hour later, at the bedside.

Changsun Yourong was still dressed in the gorgeous attire of the eldest daughter of the immortal clan, except that she held her ankle with one hand, raised her long and straight left leg, and even raised it above her head.

The True Phoenix Body allowed her to be reborn from the ashes, not only increasing her cultivation aptitude and magical power, but also comprehensively strengthening her physical body in terms of sturdiness, flexibility, endurance, and recovery.

The girl lifted the hem of her skirt, her expression aloof yet her face naturally flushed, and said, "I have secretly learned some Yin-Yang Taoist arts before, please give me some guidance, senior."

"A dance student..." Jiang He nodded: "I acknowledge you."

A period of cultivation.

At dawn, Changsun Yourong fell asleep, exhausted.

Jiang He sat before her bed, her calm gaze tinged with a hint of regret. Without the War Cry, even the most beautiful girl is ultimately just a castle in the air, devoid of charm.

"Never mind, it's just a resource for cultivation."

[Hint: Your Yin-Yang Imperishable Body - Blood Rebirth has been upgraded to the Holy Spirit level]
The legendary Blood Rebirth skill is ineffective against attacks from Holy Spirits. However, against the Heavenly Phoenix, Blood Rebirth alone would be enough to counter the three types of Dao-Merging Flames.

[Hint: You have abducted Changsun Yourong, the Daoist partner of the Chosen One, Mu Changsheng. Your Enemy Value has increased to 150%]
[Hint: You have killed the Chosen One's senior brother, the eldest prince of the Yin clan. Your natural enemy value has increased to 200%]
……

At noon, the War Pavilion entered Xihuang Prefecture.

This is Buddhist territory, without any dynasties or sects. Instead, it is comprised of 480 temples and four great temples for enlightenment. Monks built cities around these temples and lived there. With the arrival of the demon race, the wilderness became extremely dangerous, and people rushed to enter the temple city, naturally converting to Buddhism in the process.

The war tower descended upon the Great Heavenly Dragon Temple City. Apart from the Yanshan Imperial Guards, thousands of people filed out and went their separate ways. The temple city did not decline as expected; instead, due to the over-concentration of population, it presented a kind of last-ditch prosperity.

The Immortal Granny waved her hand, indicating that the Yanshan Imperial Guards' mission was complete, and following them any further would no longer be about escorting them, but about drawing enemy fire.

"Respectfully seeing off Miss Changsun." The valiant general clasped his hands in a fist salute and led his troops away with a cheerful air.

On the streets, you can often see groups of monks sitting together, meditating or discussing scriptures. In spacious open spaces, it is even noisier, with debates on Zen and discussions that can easily escalate to the point of physical violence.

The fairy nanny said, "Miss, Heavenly Lord, we must get to the Great Heavenly Dragon Temple before sunset. The clan's idea is that you should marry the Heavenly Dragon Buddha. As for that boy who suddenly appeared, there is no secret message from the flying sword yet, and the elders probably haven't come up with a specific solution."

Huang Baitian was an extremely skilled physician, whose importance was self-evident amidst the demon race's invasion and the ongoing battles. However, the problem was that no one knew whether he was alive or dead.

"I have already offered my Red Pill to my senior. From now on, Tianlong Buddha and that boy will be strangers." Changsun Yourong said casually, "I have to decide my own affairs. As for the clan's opinion, just listen to it."

The fairy maid was somewhat annoyed. When it was time to make offerings, the girl had come up with this. But the Heavenly Emperor was right there, so she couldn't forcefully interfere.

Jiang He remained silent, showing no intention of getting involved.

A little girl in white clutched his sleeve, curiously observing the monks and nuns on the street, as the pure and clean holy dragon's fortune continuously poured into her.

The Gluttonous Beast Behemoth has the characteristic of devouring mysterious powers. After simply processing the Holy Dragon's Luck, it is nothing short of a ready-made, abundant source of nourishment for the Blood Hunters of the Dragon Clan.

"Once I reach the peak of heroism, Aya, you will become an ordinary legend. Then you can digest the Holy Dragon's fortune. Next, I will try to find the name of the true dragon. If you can get both together, it will be enough to advance you to a legendary elite, but I estimate it will take some time."

Jiang He conveyed his message with legendary willpower, his words filled with patience.

From ordinary legend to legendary elite, it is actually the process of proving the Dao and advancing to the Dao Integration stage. Theoretically, a [True Dragon] true name at the Dao Integration level is enough. However, considering efficiency and foundation, the Holy Dragon's fortune can act as a coupling agent.

Dragon Blood Hunters are exceptionally gifted in terms of advancement. Regarding the Three Tribulations of Dragons, which are almost certain death for those who advance to the Legendary Era, Jiang He has already made preparations for taking their place. In a sense, his ability to cultivate the Authority of Destiny was prepared for the little guy.

“Okay,” Zhuang Ya replied in a clear and melodious voice.

She glanced at the stunningly beautiful girl beside her and shook her head almost imperceptibly. In a few days, this guy would disappear from the world, so there was no need to pay attention to him. In fact, she was already very surprised that Pei Qinghan had survived. A special physique was definitely not as valuable or meaningful as Dao Integration combat power.

The group headed to Daitenryu-ji Temple in the center of the temple complex.

After absorbing the Holy Dragon's fortune, Zhuang Ya returned to the Blessed Land of Gluttony.

In this world where cause and effect are everywhere and powerful beings gather in large numbers, Jiang He is actually not very comfortable with her animal companions acting alone.

……

The Great Heavenly Dragon Temple covers an area of ​​ten thousand hectares. Ancient pagodas stand solemnly on the ground, like long dragons soaring into the sky. The long, melodious sound of bells echoes in the ears. The Demon-Slaying Arhat senses the arrival of the celestial clan's eldest daughter.

At the temple gate, a young man with a pair of dragon horns on his head led the crowd out. He was dressed as a monk, but he exuded an air of nobility. His neck and the back of his hands were covered with dragon scales. The body of a celestial dragon held a very high status in Xihuang Prefecture. Although it was not as high as that of a Buddha, a Bodhisattva who had attained enlightenment, or an Arhat who had attained enlightenment, it was still a symbol of combat power and protection after it reached its peak.

When the Heavenly Dragon Buddha saw Changsun Yourong, his originally calm and peaceful expression changed drastically.

"You...you shameless woman!"

The Heavenly Dragon Buddha was shocked and furious: "Where is your True Phoenix Red Pill?"

The surrounding monks immediately erupted in a clamor. The Dragon-Phoenix Auspicious Body, born from the True Phoenix and the Heavenly Dragon, ranked first among the ten physiques. Unlike the other nine powerful physiques, the Dragon-Phoenix Auspicious Body was the only exception. It did not possess any noteworthy protective supernatural powers, but the Dragon-Phoenix Auspicious Body was naturally favored by heaven and earth and granted a high rank.

In short, as long as one doesn't die, after cultivating for a little over a hundred years, one will inevitably achieve enlightenment.

The Immortal Granny lowered her head and remained silent. Changsun Yourong raised her hand and tossed her hair, the ends brushing against the back of her hand, exuding a casual air.

The girl smiled and said, "Sorry, I was so engrossed in playing last night that I forgot to save it for you. Maybe in the next life, if I still have the True Phoenix Body, you can wait in line."

The Heavenly Dragon Buddha's face turned ashen.

He looked at the masked man the girl was holding onto and said coldly, "Is this what you rely on?"

Jiang He didn't care about the Heavenly Dragon Buddha or the Dragon and Phoenix Auspicious Body; he just wanted to wait for the Demon-Slaying Arhat to come out of the temple's grand formation, and then end his life with one move.

As of now, the binding force of the summit council has been greatly reduced. Although the number one person in Zhongzhou, the Great Dao Sect Master, and the Lotus Old Monk are still alive, as long as he acts quickly enough, he can kill them without paying a price and then use the Time Stop to plunder the Demon Slayer Fruit.

The only problem is that Buddhist Arhats excel in physical strength and are surrounded by powerful formations, making them no less formidable than Zaochi. If they were to cause a major disturbance similar to the one during the Battle of Blessed Lands, powerful human beings would inevitably descend, since the death of the Demon-Slaying Arhat might push Xihuang Prefecture toward the demon race.

Changsun Yourong continues to provoke the Heavenly Dragon Buddha, and for the Immortal Clan, she is undoubtedly the most rebellious type.

Just then, a simple-looking young man stepped out, his eyes gentle, while a white-haired girl chattered around him.

"Master, when will you be able to advance to the Golden Core Realm?"

"Why don't my parents transform you into a demon?"

"Master, do you really want to become Daoist partners with Changsun Yourong?"

Mu Changsheng laughed as he walked, saying, "I don't have parents who have reached the Dao realm to rely on, so this marriage is off..."

Before she could finish speaking, Changsun Yourong stared at the young man in disbelief: "Scholar!"

Mu Changsheng's smile vanished, and he exclaimed in astonishment, "Miss Ghost!"

The two stared at each other blankly, overwhelmed with mixed feelings of sorrow and joy. During the Hundred Kingdoms Tournament, they met in the Six Blessed Lands and became friends, developing feelings for each other. Unfortunately, the Six Blessed Lands of Zhaojing Holy Land were suddenly destroyed, and the two thought the other was dead.

Changsun Yourong clutched her chest, feeling a sharp pain.

If... if she hadn't thought Shu was dead, she would never have so easily given herself up.

Mu Changsheng remained silent, while Tianlong Buddha was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

As if smelling the familiar and pleasant aroma of cow, Jiang He put his arm around the beautiful girl's slender waist and said calmly, "The Great Heavenly Dragon Temple shouldn't refuse guests."

"Please let our distinguished guests in."

A solemn voice rang out from inside the Great Heavenly Dragon Temple; it belonged to the Demon-Slaying Arhat.

An old monk at the Immortal Realm and hundreds of monks appeared. Mu Changsheng and Tianlong Buddha had different thoughts. Because of the demon race's attack, the Great Tianlong Temple had not had such a grand display for a long time. The masked youth had gained the attention of the Demon-Slaying Arhat, and was very likely to be a Dao-proving expert of equal strength.

The three followed the old monk into the temple gate.

Changsun Yourong dared not look at Mu Changsheng. Recalling the absurdity of the previous night, she felt so guilty that her heart trembled.

"The three of you, tomorrow is the Great Assembly of Ten Thousand Monks." The old monk put his hands together and introduced, "At noon, we monks of Xihuang Prefecture will make a grand vow to heaven and earth. If nothing unexpected happens, one of the four Arhats will be born as a Bodhisattva. Please come and witness the ceremony."

Jiang He remained noncommittal.

"Grand Vow" is a special rule in Buddhism, which is to some extent equivalent to borrowing. First, one borrows power from heaven and earth to advance in one's realm. Once one has officially broken through the realm, one begins to fulfill one's previous promise. The latter part is also known as "fulfilling the vow".

In fact, "grand vows" are very demanding. First, they must be valuable enough to be recognized by heaven and earth. Second, they must consume merit, similar to a mortgage or deposit. If the promise cannot be fulfilled, one will immediately perish. And after fulfilling the vow, the ending is still death. It can be said that "the vow is fulfilled and one departs."

Legend has it that the Lord of the Nine Hells City of Rebirth achieved the Fourteenth Realm of power through his Great Vow and the body of the Dao. His Great Vow was to imprison all the evil ghosts in the world, so he needed to create his own cycle of reincarnation when the Underworld was closed.

If the merits of the Nine Hells City Lord's grand vow came from the accumulation of Buddhism over ten thousand years, then the enormous merits required for this assembly of ten thousand monks actually came from the Buddha's passing.

In any case, the Buddha was a key factor in completing the world of Kyushu. Although he was hostile to the world before and did not want to destroy it, the result was gratifying, and the world did not hold back.

A moment later, the old monk led the three to a vegetarian room.

"This is Huanxi Zhai, a quiet and secluded place, suitable for Miss Changsun and the Heavenly Emperor. I have already given the order that no one will disturb them."

Jiang He nodded, quite satisfied with the accommodation.

The old monk bowed and took his leave. Changsun Yourong lowered her head and remained silent. Jiang He took the lead and entered the meditation room. Quan Zhi's demonic eye quietly opened. He saw the Demon-Slaying Arhat sitting in seclusion in the central pagoda of the Great Heavenly Dragon Temple. The other party was preparing for the grand ambition of advancing to the Dao Integration Realm tomorrow. This power belonged to the right time and place, which was also one of the right time, place and people that Pei Qinghan needed to advance to the fifteenth realm.

"It seems you get along well with that boy?"

Jiang He casually picked up a Buddhist scripture from the bookshelf; it was a simple commentary on the Joyful Zen lineage.

Changsun Yourong's heart trembled. The fate of the Yellow Heavenly Lord was unknown. A Heavenly Lord was enough to condemn the young man to eternal damnation.

The stunningly beautiful girl forced a smile and said, "Senior is too kind. We only met by chance before."

"Is it."

Jiang He handed over the Buddhist scriptures and said calmly, "Prove it to me."

Changsun Yourong stared blankly at the obscene paintings on the scriptures. What had been insignificant last night had become exceptionally difficult today. But when she thought about the trouble she had caused that might bring death to the young man, she sighed helplessly.

"Please give me some guidance, senior."

Jiang He activated the magic array of Huanxizhai, mainly to block the perception of some people in the upper five realms. The Immortal Granny left the room. This time, the young lady had asked for trouble.

……

night.

A figure approached Huanxizhai.

The White Emperor's daughter had silver hair and a hint of arrogance in her eyes. As the only daughter of two Dao-Merging Great Demons, she was undoubtedly one of the most noble people in the world. Her escape to become Mu Changsheng's disciple was a matter of fate. However, upon seeing her master's beloved, she couldn't help but realize that the other party was really an eyesore.

"Hmph, if I kill her, there will be no one to compete with me for the master. With the immortal weapon bestowed by my father, even a trace of its power will be enough to succeed."

The White Emperor's daughter was full of confidence. She didn't think a human Heavenly Lord would dare to stop her. With two Dao-Merging Realm experts as her backers, and some powerful demon kings who usually fawned over her, she was confident that she had the right to do so.
