The Eastern Emperor of all Heavens did not wish to become a Buddha.

Chapter 66 Yan Ruyu and the Chaos Green Lotus
bang bang

After taking several steps back, the demon woman finally managed to stop, looking at the young Taoist priest in front of her with a horrified expression.

Such immense power! What kind of monster is this?

Who exactly is a demon?
Duan De, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and slightly pursed his lips, a look of disappointment on his face.

You weren't this polite to me back then!
Deep within the peach blossom forest, a radiant mountain peak sits, its vegetation shimmering with an otherworldly light, as if carved from jade.

A pavilion hangs high above the mountain, surrounded by mist and dappled sunlight. A woman dressed in white, her black hair flowing gently, exudes an ethereal and otherworldly aura, like a fairy descending from the moon.

Just then, the woman seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked into the distance, her eyes like water, as if shrouded in mist, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

"This is?"

A sudden tremor arose in the white-clad woman's heart. She reached out her hand, and a ray of light flowed in her palm, transforming into a chaotic blue lotus that suppressed the heavens and the earth.

At this moment, the Chaos Green Lotus swayed its branches and leaves continuously, as if drawn by some kind of force, emitting a terrifying aura that made all living beings tremble.

"The ancestral imperial weapon is trembling. What happened?"

As she said this, she looked into the distance again, and with a flick of her feet, she floated down from the pavilion.

Standing before the peach grove, Zhong Xu maintained a gentle smile: "Fellow Daoists, I truly mean no harm. Please invite the descendant of the Azure Emperor out!"

"Humph!"

A cold snort rang out, and several women in front of the peach grove took a few steps back, looking at him coldly: "Your Highness is of noble status, how can you just see me as you please?"

The moment the words fell, all the women's auras surged, but they did not get any closer. Instead, they were surrounded by demonic energy, preparing to unleash their demonic powers.

"Why are you so stubborn!"

Upon seeing this scene, Zhong Xu's internal energy subtly shifted, and a scene of mortal world appeared faintly around him.

Through the fundamental Dharma body of Buddhism, Vairocana Buddha, and the process of merging the power of the Martian sacred body, Zhong Xu gained a completely new understanding and insight into the various divine skills he possessed, reaching a level of profound understanding. His mastery of the "Ananda Breaking the Precepts Blade" sword technique almost reached a point of complete freedom, no longer limited to fixed moves and supernatural powers, but able to freely display its various true meanings.

Zhong Xu had to admit that perhaps because his initial foundation in cultivation was the Demon Buddha Mystic Art and the Ananda Breaking the Precepts Blade, or perhaps because of the influence of his cheap master, his comprehension of these two divine skills far surpassed that of ordinary people, and was also in perfect harmony with the Buddhist principles contained within them.

Clang

The next moment, a slightly ethereal sword cry rang out, and a sword light filled with the essence of the mortal world appeared between heaven and earth, also catching everyone's eyes.

In that instant, everyone seemed to see the 'unfulfilled desire' in their own hearts, and they all froze on the spot.

A smile appeared on Ye Fan's face, as if he had now achieved success in his cultivation, returned to Earth, met his parents, and was by their side.

Duan De looked the same way, as if he were walking through the tombs of emperors, carrying out various transport tasks.

bang bang

The sound of weapons hitting the ground rang out, and the women in front of the peach grove were stunned, stopping their magical arts, breathing rapidly, their chests heaving.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Xu's eye twitched involuntarily.

What the hell?

What unfulfilled desires stirred within these female demons by the true meaning of "Ananda's Breaking the Precepts Knife"?

As thoughts raced through his mind, with the fall of the blade, all the distracting thoughts in Zhong Xu's heart vanished, and his mind instantly became as still as water, like a virtuous monk who had renounced worldly desires.

After a long while, everyone came to their senses and felt a sense of loss.

"Amitabha Buddha"

Duan De spoke first, a rare look of fear appearing on his face: "What an evil swordsmanship!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but move a few steps away from Zhong Xu.

This bald monk possesses such bizarre swordsmanship; it's terrifying!

In Duan De's eyes, it was by no means a Buddhist sword technique, but rather a demonic sword that could directly change the nature of living beings.

Even he felt an instinctive fear when he thought of that sword technique.

Zhong Xu's eyes were clear and peaceful, without a trace of desire, like a saint or Buddha, even carrying a hint of indifference that made people's hearts tremble.

Seeing this scene, not only Duan De, but even Ye Fan felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, they felt that the figure in front of them was so unfamiliar. Although it was right in front of them, it gave them an indescribable sense of ambiguity.

Just then, Zhong Xu's heart stirred, and he looked directly at the peach grove hidden by countless petals, his eyes reflecting a phantom causal star line.

'finally come! '

As this thought crossed his mind, the indifference in Zhong Xu's eyes faded slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Fellow Daoist, since you've come, please show yourself!"

Wow

As soon as he finished speaking, peach blossoms danced in the air, and a graceful woman in white emerged from the peach grove. Her beauty was unparalleled, and her temperament ethereal. She was none other than Yan Ruyu, the descendant of the Azure Emperor who had taken the Chaos Azure Lotus with the Treasure Basin in front of the Azure Emperor's tomb.

"Your Highness!"

Upon seeing the woman in white appear, several demon women in front of the peach grove quickly bowed.

"Ah."

Yan Ruyu glanced at the group of women, then fixed her gaze on the young Taoist priest opposite her, whose demeanor was otherworldly. A hint of surprise appeared in her eyes: "It's you!"

Zhong Xu cupped his hands in greeting and said with a smile, "This humble Daoist is Taiyi, greetings to fellow Daoist."

"Tai Yi"

As she uttered those two words in a low voice, Yan Ruyu seemed to sense some kind of profound Daoist charm within them.

However, her expression did not change much, and she calmly asked, "May I ask what brings Fellow Daoist Taiyi here?"

Zhong Xu spoke leisurely: "I have some connection with Senior Qingdi. I came here specifically to seek you out, fellow Daoist, at his request."

"what"

Even with Yan Ruyu's calm and composed nature, she was slightly taken aback at this moment.

After a long while, she came to her senses and shook her head: "Fellow Daoist Taiyi, please don't joke. Our ancestor passed away ten thousand years ago. How could you possibly receive his instructions?"

"is it?"

A puzzled look appeared on Zhong Xu's face: "Who told you that Senior Qingdi has already passed away?"

"Senior Qingdi has simply embarked on a completely new path and is currently undergoing a transformation, so he cannot appear in the world. To be honest, I just met Senior Qingdi not long ago."

The moment he finished speaking, Zhong Xu reached out and a token engraved with a blue lotus pattern appeared in his hand—the imperial decree given to him by the Azure Emperor.

Now that the main character has appeared, Zhong Xu is no longer keeping everyone in suspense.

Buzz

The moment the imperial decree appeared, a mysterious azure light rose up, spreading outwards like ripples.

Yan Ruyu's pupils contracted, and her whole body radiated a clear, bright light. A faint, graceful blue lotus phantom appeared on her body.

In a daze, she felt her blood being drawn together, constantly resonating with the token in front of her.

'Truly an artifact from our ancestors!'

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Yan Ruyu's gaze changed instantly.

Our ancestor did not pass away peacefully!

A living emperor!
For the now-declining Azure Emperor lineage, what this means is self-evident.

boom

The token's aura drifted away, and a powerful aura instantly erupted in the valley.

A streak of light flashed and landed in front of everyone, transforming into a burly figure as large as a black bear.

"Pang Bo!" Upon seeing this familiar, imposing figure, Ye Fan's face lit up with a hint of surprise.

But then, his expression changed slightly.

At this moment, Pang Bo exuded a wild aura like a beast, giving people an extremely dangerous feeling; he was definitely not the original Pang Bo.

When Pang Bo appeared and saw Ye Fan, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly suppressed it.

Then, he turned his attention to the Azure Emperor Token in Zhong Xu's hand.

"This is."

Pang Bo's pupils contracted sharply, a desire rising in his heart, and he instinctively reached out to snatch it.

Swoosh

Zhong Xu took a few steps back, his expression somewhat indifferent: "Fellow Daoist, this is not yours."

Pang Bo stopped, looked around, and then looked at Yan Ruyu beside him.

Upon seeing this, Yan Ruyu recounted what had happened.

"what!"

Pang Bo's expression changed slightly: "Our ancestor did not pass away; he still exists in this world?"

At this point, he suddenly turned his gaze to Zhong Xu and said coldly, "Boy, where is our ancestor now?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xu's expression turned colder, and he calmly glanced at him: "Senior Qingdi is currently undergoing a transformation, but you are not qualified to know the place of his transformation."

"what!"

Pang Bo's face showed a hint of anger: "Boy, I am the nineteenth generation descendant of the Azure Emperor. What matters concerning my ancestor are beyond my knowledge!"

"Nineteenth generation descendant?"

Zhong Xu shook his head, a hint of indifference on his face: "Let alone the nineteenth generation descendant, even if the first generation of the Azure Emperor came here, he would not be qualified to know the place of the Azure Emperor's transformation."

"you"

The nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor was furious and was about to speak when Yan Ruyu stopped him.

Yan Ruyu looked at Zhong Xu, gave a slight bow, and said softly, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Taiyi, for informing me of our ancestor's situation. May I ask how our ancestor is doing now?"

Zhong Xu glanced at Yan Ruyu and said, "Senior Qingdi has researched a special path to immortality, which is currently undergoing transformation. Before it completes its transformation, it will not be able to be revealed to the world for the time being."

"The Path to Immortality".

Yan Ruyu was startled, but a look of surprise appeared on her face.

As descendants of the Azure Emperor, their lineage has had a truly miserable time in recent years, suffering oppression not only from humans but also from within the demon race.

In the end, this world still values ​​strength above all else. No matter how powerful our ancestors were, their glory belongs to the past.

After tens of thousands of years, and with the extinction of their lineage of powerful individuals, there are now very few demon clansmen who truly respect their lineage, even within the demon race itself.

This is also why Yan Ruyu went to great lengths to obtain the ancestral imperial weapon, the Chaos Green Lotus.

Now, not only has their ancestor not passed away, but he has also embarked on a path to immortality. Once he succeeds, their lineage will once again reach its peak.

Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyes held a hint of anticipation: "May I ask Fellow Daoist Taiyi, did our ancestor ever say when he would be able to complete his transformation?"

Shaking his head, Zhong Xu said calmly, "The path to immortality is not so easy to traverse. Even the Azure Emperor himself doesn't know when he will achieve success."

Given the Azure Emperor's current state, even if he were to successfully navigate the path to the Immortal Realm, it would be countless tens of thousands of years from now. By then, the Azure Emperor's lineage would probably be dead.

Thinking of this, Zhong Xu waved the imperial decree in his hand and said with a light laugh, "Therefore, Senior Qingdi handed the imperial decree to me, and I will temporarily take charge of the demon race."

"what!"

Still basking in the joyous news of their ancestor's survival, Yan Ruyu and the others' expressions changed slightly upon hearing this.

The nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor sneered, "You, a human, actually dare to dream of ruling our demon race? That's just wishful thinking."

At this point, a cold glint appeared in his eyes: "Who knows where you got the ancestral imperial decree from? Boy, hand it over now, and I might consider sparing your life, otherwise..."

"hehe."

Zhong Xu stroked the Azure Emperor Token in his hand, his gaze somewhat indifferent: "You think you can compete?"

The moment he finished speaking, before the demons could react, he lightly tapped the Imperial Decree, activating the power contained within it.

A buzzing sound rang out, and the blue lotus pattern on the imperial decree shone brightly, with chaotic energy flowing around it.

Well

The nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor and Yan Ruyu felt a tremor in their hearts. They felt their minds trembling uncontrollably, as if they had seen their ancestor and had an urge to bow down directly.

Buzz

The next moment, a bright and dazzling divine light appeared in Yan Ruyu's palm, within which stood an ancient and sacred Chaos Green Lotus.

Chaotic divine light bloomed, and the blue lotus slowly unfolded, its nine leaves supporting the sky, as if supporting a complete universe, a scene of the creation of a great world.

In an instant, a surging aura swept across the heavens and earth, causing the entire valley to tremble continuously, as if it were about to collapse.

With the appearance of the Chaos Green Lotus, the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor and Yan Ruyu were relieved of the pressure brought by the imperial decree and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Holy crap! A Demon Emperor's supreme treasure!"

Duan De's expression changed drastically, and he turned around, wanting to pull Ye Fan away as quickly as possible.

One side possesses the Emperor's Decree, while the other possesses the Demon Emperor's Treasure. If they were to clash, they might be unharmed due to the protection of the Emperor's Decree and the Demon Emperor's Treasure, but he, the spectator, might be turned to ashes.

A cold smile appeared on the face of the nineteenth-generation descendant of the Azure Emperor: "Don't think that just because you've somehow obtained the imperial decree of your ancestor, you're qualified to swagger in front of us!"

Compared to the Emperor's Decree, the Imperial Weapon, which carries the Great Dao of the Ancestors and is almost equivalent to half of the Ancestors' bodies, is the true sacred object representing the Ancestors' will.

Their lineage wields the imperial weapon of their ancestors, and no one can command them, not even with an imperial decree.

"The Chaos Green Lotus?"

Seeing the Chaos Green Lotus bloom, Zhong Xu revealed a faint smile and said leisurely, "Actually, I am now the true representative of the Azure Emperor!"

The moment he finished speaking, his Sea of ​​Wheels Secret Realm suddenly shone brightly with divine light, and a phantom of a blue lotus, seemingly rooted in chaos, swayed its branches and leaves, scattering specks of chaotic divine light.

In an instant, Zhong Xu's aura underwent a tremendous change, becoming somewhat similar to Yan Ruyu's, but even more ancient and pure, as if the Azure Emperor himself had descended upon him.

Buzz

The Chaos Lotus, which had been standing in Yan Ruyu's palm, suddenly shone brightly, as if the deity within it had awakened.

The next moment, to the stunned gazes of the demons, the Chaos Green Lotus transformed into a beam of divine light and fell into Zhong Xu's hand, swaying its branches and leaves as if greeting an old friend.

The moment the Chaos Green Lotus unleashed its aura, the many demon cultivators who were cultivating in seclusion in the valleys surrounding the peach grove were suddenly awakened, transforming into streaks of rainbow light and arriving before the peach grove.

However, upon seeing the scene before the peach grove, all the demon cultivators looked bewildered.

A strange young man dressed in a Taoist robe stood before the peach grove, holding a token radiating surging life energy in one hand and a chaotic blue lotus exuding divine light in the other. Chaotic energy swirled around him, making him appear like a demon emperor descending to earth, carrying an aura of supreme dignity that could suppress the heavens and the earth.

That is.

Many powerful demons looked at the ancient and sacred Chaos Green Lotus in the young Taoist's hand and felt as if they had fallen into an illusion.

Isn't that the Demon Emperor's most precious treasure?
Why did it end up in the hands of an outsider?

Moreover, judging from the situation, it seems that the deities within have been resurrected.

What happened?

More importantly, whether it was the demons' imagination or not, they felt that this young Taoist priest's aura was more like that of a true descendant of the Azure Emperor than that of the original two princes.
