Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 56: The Domineering Buddhist Sect
The next day.

After a night of hard training, coupled with the assistance of many star souls, especially the blessings of many god-level and celestial star souls, Xiao Ying's practice made rapid progress again.

The "Nine Cauldrons Human Emperor Code" once again condensed four divine cauldrons, which enabled Xiao Ying's cultivation level to reach the fourth level of Gangjin. He already had Gangqi protecting his body and releasing Gangqi, which was half a step towards transcendence.

Xiao Ying's own strength far exceeds the half-step divine power (five thousand pounds) of ordinary Gangjin, reaching a terrifying fifty thousand pounds, which is ten times that of ordinary people at the same level. This is the horror that comes from Xiao Ying's hard work in practicing countless body-refining techniques, plus the "Nine Cauldrons Human Emperor Classic"!
Now, Xiao Ying claims that he is born with supernatural powers, a genius in body refining, a natural warrior, etc., and he is fully worthy of the title!

For the first cauldron in the "Nine Cauldrons of the Human Emperor", Xiao Ying chose the supreme body refining manual "Zhou Tian Refining Manual".

For the second tripod, the Liang Dynasty's national treasure was chosen, which is also the Xiao family's clan treasure, the supreme divine refining treasure "Dayan Xingdian", which mainly comes from the historical celebrity Xiao Yu of the same clan!

For the third tripod, he chose the Dugu clan's unique martial arts, the supreme Qi training manual "Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens", which is good at speed and has a huge bonus, mainly from the Dugu clan's star souls, especially Dugu Yanyun and Dugu Kaiyuan.

The fourth cauldron selected the Vajra Martial Arts School's treasured manual, the world-renowned supreme body-building manual, the Vajra Sutra. It's said to be a descendant of the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, one of the four great Buddhist canons, though modified by the ancients, requiring no profound Buddhist attainments. However, the Vajra Martial Arts School denies this, arguing that the two methods do differ significantly, with similar principles and methods, yet significant differences, akin to the difference between Buddhism and demonism.

It could be said that the Diamond Martial Arts School was the most powerful martial arts school in Jiangdu, Yangzhou, and even Jiangnan. It was ranked alongside the top aristocratic families and chambers of commerce, and even ranked among the top three martial arts schools in the world. This was primarily due to its mastery of the Diamond Scripture!
This time, the Vajra Martial Arts School sided with the Great Sui, and the entire school participated in the battle, resulting in heavy casualties. Over a thousand disciples of all ranks were killed, and dozens of elders, guardians, and deacons were also killed, including a divine-level supreme elder and a divine-level guardian. Xiao Ying used this opportunity to cultivate the Vajra Treasures to the pinnacle of perfection, rivaling the master of the Vajra School, Liu Chongshan.

The fifth tripod chose the Taoist supreme spiritual refining manual "The Three Pure Ones Visualization Diagram". This manual is relatively widely circulated, but the content and description are slightly different. The main thing is the quality of the visualization diagram. This is the mysterious and wonderful way of refining the spirit.

The oldest and most perfect visualization diagram, only found in the most prestigious Daoist sects, is considered a treasured possession, a secret never to be passed down. Xiao Ying learned this from top-tier divine cultivators like the great Confucian Wang Tong, the renowned Gao Jinjun, the civil servant Su Yuan, and Pei Yun. Each of them had their own unique encounters with or comprehended the visualization diagram, while the contents were largely similar, their understandings varied. However, the key element, the Dao essence, allowed Xiao Ying to forcibly advance the "Three Pure Ones Visualization Diagram" to the initial stage of Great Perfection. He will soon be able to reach peak Great Perfection, though achieving perfection within a short period of time would be difficult.

According to Xiao Ying's thoughts, feelings, and understanding...

The Nine Cauldrons Human Emperor Code focuses on the simultaneous cultivation of three systems, and the advancement of essence, energy and spirit.

Therefore, Xiao Ying wanted to make nine great divine tripods, three each for essence, energy and spirit, and proceed steadily, trying his best to forge each realm and each divine tripod.

……

"Squeak..."

Perhaps it was because the Sui Dynasty camp was back on track, or perhaps it was because they knew Xiao Ying's situation, but until the sun rose, no one disturbed him, so Xiao Ying pushed the door open and walked out.

Even if there are corresponding people responsible for everything, Xiao Ying still has to know and understand.

Especially when it comes to military training, Xiao Ying has to do his best to patrol and rotate troops to improve the efficiency of training as soon as possible!

"Master!"

As soon as Xiao Ying appeared, Qian He, who was sitting alone at the door of the secret room, stopped practicing and stood up.

"Great! Keep it up! If you need anything, just let me know!"

Xiao Ying glanced at Qian He and praised her generously.

His aura and imposing manner had already reached the level of a third-grade transcendental being, and he didn't seem to be at the initial stage. He was most likely in the middle or even late stages. It was clear that Qian He had been cultivating diligently without slacking off.

He is worthy of being the person I most favor, his qualifications and character are impeccable!

Unfortunately, Qianhe chose life, which has the greatest impact on cultivation among the four aspects. This is Qianhe's choice and loyalty. Xiao Ying remembers it in his heart and will not and does not want to hinder it!
"Master! People from Qiling Temple have arrived and have been guarding the courtyard for a long time!"

Qianhe smiled, more beautiful than flowers, and took the lead in giving a serious reminder.

Xiao Ying responded, curious about what kind of personnel Qiling Temple would provide for him. "Amitabha!"

"I, the poor monk Lingxin (Lingyuan, Lingguang, Lingxu, Huineng, Huichang, Huizheng...), greet the master!"

As soon as he went out, twenty-two monks in the vast courtyard, who were as tall and strong as iron towers, with four in the front and nine in the back, chanted the Buddha's name in unison, but it was a solemn ceremony that regarded themselves as slaves and servants, and they bowed down to greet him.

"Owner?!"

"what's the situation?!"

Xiao Ying and Qian He were both stunned. They understood what he meant, but were very surprised!
This was inconsistent with what they had thought. They had thought that Qiling Temple was just an ally that provided help, protection, and cooperation.

Unexpectedly, this was a complete cession to Xiao Ying, and he regarded himself as a slave and servant, which meant that his life and death were completely controlled by Xiao Ying!
In addition, the generation names of this generation in Qiling Temple are "Zhi Ling Hui Qing, Kong Jing Yuan Ming". The first four are of the Ling generation who are of the same generation as the abbot, and the last eighteen are of the Hui generation who are the next generation!
Judging from the figures, sizes, and aura of these twenty-two, they should all be upper third rank, clearly physical cultivators, quite pure ones, perfectly suited to being tanks...

These are the Four Great Vajras and the Eighteen Arhats, which are more than agreed. The Four Great Vajras are obviously more important than the Eighteen Arhats!
"Master! We have been expelled from the Qiling Temple. This is our life document. Master can impose life and death restrictions at any time. Everything is up to the Master!"

Before Xiao Ying could respond, Master Lingxin, who was leading the group with white eyebrows drooping, stood up and handed over the stack of documents, bowing respectfully.

"Well... in that case, you can just call me Young Master! We'll go through this together and we won't let each other down!"

Xiao Ying opened his mouth, with a strange thought in his mind, but in the end he did not refuse, but agreed readily.

Since Qiling Temple did this, it couldn't be an impulse. If Xiao Ying didn't accept it, it would be bad.

Under normal circumstances, these people are definitely devoted to Qiling Temple and Buddhism, and it is extremely difficult to change them.

The so-called expulsion and becoming a slave are just for fun. Anyone who believes it is a fool!
but……

Xiao Ying's situation is special. If Qiling Temple dares to give it to him, Xiao Ying will dare to accept it and even dare to believe it!

"I will never let you down!"

"I will never let you down!"

Master Lingxin bowed again in response, and the others followed suit, shouting in unison, with awe-inspiring auras and resonant tones, which seemed quite plausible!

"Is it the same for all the monks who come here?" Xiao Ying asked with great anticipation.

If the same is true for those 10,000 monks, then we have really made a fortune this time. After practicing seriously for a period of time, they can defeat the top elite of the Xiaoguo Guards. The only difference is battlefield experience, and there are 10,000 of them!

"That's not the case! There are only 22 of us expelled! There are 20,000 monks coming this time, which is already the limit for Qiling Temple. Once Jiangdu stabilizes, half of them will be withdrawn!"

Master Lingxin's expression froze, his white eyebrows drooped without any wind, and he responded in a heavy tone!

This young master really dares to say that!

The mighty Qiling Temple only had a few warrior monks. They had finally managed to gather 20,000, and some of them were patchwork. How dare Xiao Ying take them all? Is Qiling Temple still viable?
