I have the face of a great demon.

The Buddha's light from Monk Zhizhang slowly dissipated, and the demonic energy on Li Ming's body also completely disappeared as the Buddha's light purified it.

When the Buddha's light completely faded, everyone was surprised to find that Li Ming had no demonic energy left.

Not only that, his temperament has also undergone a dramatic change.

The demonic cultivator, who had originally had a gloomy face and fierce eyes, now had a kind and gentle face with a warm smile.

The cunning and cruelty of a demonic cultivator were gone from his eyes; in their place was a Buddhist compassion.

He even looked somewhat like an old monk, only a bit ugly.

Ye Sisi couldn't help but widen her eyes and whispered to Liu Xingchen, "Xingchen, look, why has this demonic cultivator become so strange?"

Liu Xingchen raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "It seems that Master Zhizhang's Buddhist light of salvation is even more effective than we imagined."

Tie Zhu was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth: "Wow, how did this demonic cultivator become so much like a master?"

The monk Zhizhang smiled slightly, walked up to the demonic cultivator, put his hands together, and said, "Benefactor, how are you feeling?"

The demonic cultivator raised his head, a hint of gratitude on his face, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I have let go of my demonic thoughts, and my mind is now clear."

Monk Zhizhang nodded slightly and said, "Amitabha, it is the best outcome that you have returned to the right path."

Li Ming nodded and said, "Thank you, Master. From now on, I am no longer a demonic cultivator. I have been reborn. I will always be compassionate and do good deeds."

Li Ming bowed to the monk Zhizhang again, saying, "Master, I wish to change my name and surname to signify a new life. Please grant me a Dharma name."

"Many, what's your real name?"

"My secular name is Li Ming."

The monk Zhizhang smiled slightly and said, "Since you have put aside your demonic thoughts and wholeheartedly turned to Buddhism, I will bestow upon you the Dharma name 'Huiming'. May you use your wisdom to enlighten your mind and cultivate the righteous path."

Li Ming respectfully said, "Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Master. I will always remember it."

Monk Zhizhang nodded and said, "Huiming, the path of cultivation is long, and you must always maintain your original intention. Remember to be compassionate and never forget your initial aspiration."

Huiming smiled slightly and said, "Master's teachings are etched in my mind. This disciple will certainly strive to cultivate and never abandon the compassion of Buddhism."

The two spoke with a tone of Buddhist compassion, as if they had completely merged into the Buddhist atmosphere.

Liu Xingchen and the other two were dumbfounded, never expecting that a demonic cultivator could undergo such a huge change in such a short time.

Ye Sisi whispered to Liu Xingchen, "Xingchen, this demonic cultivator has really changed. He's completely different from before."

Liu Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "It seems that Master Zhizhang's enlightenment has truly transformed him."

Tie Zhu nodded and said, "This change is too amazing. He doesn't seem like a demonic cultivator at all."

Monk Zhizhang smiled slightly and said, "Amitabha, all sentient beings have Buddha-nature. As long as they sincerely turn to good, they can all return to the right path."

The three of them initially didn't believe this. Back then, they had personally witnessed the high monk convert the Blood Demon Child, but in the end, he only neutralized all of the Blood Demon Child's demonic powers, rendering him unable to do evil.

Changing the mind of a demonic cultivator and making him reform is impossible.

But under the great demon's oppressive power, the monk Zhizhang's conversion had such great power that it was truly unexpected.

This must be because the demonic cultivator was terrified, his mind was suppressed, and he was forcibly brainwashed by the great monk.

Liu Xingchen looked at Monk Zhizhang with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, smiled slightly and asked, "Master, after converting this demonic cultivator, did you gain any merit?"

Monk Zhizhang was slightly taken aback, then closed his eyes and began to examine himself.

He circulated his spiritual energy, sensing the changes in the merit within his body.

A moment later, his eyes snapped open, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Monk Zhizhang exclaimed excitedly, "I examined myself and found that my merit has increased greatly! The merit of this salvation is truly abundant!"

His face beamed with joy, as if he had found a treasure.

Liu Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "It seems that converting demonic cultivators can not only help them reform, but also help you accumulate merit. This is truly a win-win situation."

Monk Zhizhang nodded repeatedly, a hint of excitement on his face: "Yes, yes! I have received merits when I converted demonic cultivators before, but this time the increase is so great! It seems that the deeper the demonic nature of a demonic cultivator, the more merits one receives after conversion."

He turned to look at Liu Xingchen, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Fellow Daoist, I owe you so much this time. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have been able to complete this conversion on my own."

Liu Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "Master, you are too kind. We are traveling together, so it is only right that we help each other."

Upon hearing this, the monk Zhizhang said, "Amitabha, I will follow you from now on! We will cooperate to convert demonic cultivators and earn merit."

Liu Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "We originally planned to deal with these demonic cultivators along the way and rid the people of this scourge. Now that we can help them reform, the effect will be even better. Why not do it?"

The two exchanged a smile, both filled with confidence.

Ye Sisi and Tie Zhu watched from the side and nodded in agreement, expressing their support.

After bidding farewell to the demonic cultivator who had changed his name to Huiming, the group continued their journey.

Along the way, they frequently intervened, converting one demonic cultivator after another into a kind and benevolent Buddhist believer.

Deep in the mountains and forests, the dense canopy of trees blocked most of the sunlight, with only a few dappled rays of light falling on the thick layer of fallen leaves.

The air was filled with a damp, humid smell, and the occasional bird calls only made the surrounding silence seem even more eerily quiet.

A group of mages cautiously made their way through the forest, their steps light and slow, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily.

The leader was a burly demonic cultivator with a hideous scar on his face, making him look fierce and menacing.

He whispered to his companions behind him, "Everyone, stay alert! The Demon Lord has given a death order: we must find the Great Demon's accomplices! If anything goes wrong, none of us will escape unscathed!"

"Boss, do you think... we can really find it?" A thin demonic cultivator approached, his voice tinged with unease.

"If the big devil is so powerful, his accomplices are definitely not to be trifled with either. If we keep searching like this, what if we run into them? Wouldn't that be suicide?"

The scarred demon cultivator glared at him and said irritably, "Nonsense! Do you think I want to look for it? But who dares to disobey the Demon Lord's orders? Let's just go around in circles here, dawdle, and then go back and report later."

The other demonic cultivators nodded in agreement, clearly not wanting to actually encounter the great demon's accomplices. Their pace slowed, almost circling in place, occasionally feigning a thorough search, but actually just stalling for time.

Just as they were dawdling, a slight rustling sound came from the bushes ahead. The scarred demonic cultivator immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to stop and said in a low voice, "There's movement! Be careful!"

The demonic cultivators tensed up immediately, gripping their weapons tightly and staring intently at the bushes ahead. After a moment, the bushes parted, and a figure dressed in black robes slowly emerged.

"It's a demonic cultivator!" The skinny demonic cultivator breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned. "Wait... why does this person look a little strange?"
