Chapter 134
Chapter 134
After waking up from his epiphany, Jiang Chen found that Xiao Hongyi and Zhang Hu had already left.
Glancing at the spiritual birds flitting through the ancient trees, he picked up another piece of broken stone and threw it at them.
This time, there was no system reward.
The system was no longer unruly.
After stabilizing his cultivation in the attic for a few days, he had Xiao Hongyi use a blood slip to locate Lin Feng.
“Buddha Temple,” Xiao Hongyi concluded in the end.
Jiang Chen frowned at this.
In the original story, Xiao Hongyi ordered Lin Feng to go to the Buddha Temple to find Mu Kui.
Now that the plot had collapsed to this point, he didn’t expect Lin Feng to still go to the Buddha Temple.
Jiang Chen really didn’t want to go to the Buddha Temple.He truly didn’t want to deal with Mu Kui because that guy was really special, and the best strategy was to stay away.
However, he couldn’t just ignore Lin Feng, especially since the Buddha Temple was indeed the place of destiny for this Son of Destiny.
And it was a great opportunity.
According to ancient records, the Buddha Temple had only been established for a few hundred years, and before that, it was the territory of the Demon Suppression Palace.
The ancestor of the Demon Suppression Palace had the Six Prisons Demon Suppression physique and sacrificed himself to suppress a demon from the Upper Domain.
After his death, his body transformed into the Six Prisons, barely managing to kill the demon.
After the fall of the Demon Suppression Palace ancestor, the palace gradually declined, and the Buddha Temple took its place.
The monks also love face.
After the establishment of the Buddha Temple, they not only tried every means to erase the existence of the Demon Suppression Palace but also renamed and changed the still existing Six Prisons to encompass seven emotions — Joy, Anger, Sorrow, Fear, Love, Hatred, Desire.
These are specifically used to punish and reform evildoers or those of the demonic path.
Furthermore, the Buddha Temple also propagated that these Six Prisons were the result of the successive ancestors of the temple entering nirvana and their Buddhist relics forming naturally.
This was believed to be true by the ordinary sects and cultivators of the Central Domain, with only a few top-tier sects understanding the truth.
In the original story, after Lin Feng arrives at the Buddha Temple, he is unwilling to be forced into chanting and reciting Buddha, so he causes a commotion in the temple and is eventually locked in the deepest “Desire” prison of the Six Prisons.
The Son of Destiny naturally wouldn’t be imprisoned for no reason.
With the help of Old Man Tianji, Lin Feng eventually escaped from prison and broke through all six prisons.
The monks of the Buddha Temple, who only valued their own treasures and practiced Buddhism, never thoroughly investigated the Six Prisons, using them as a mere prison.
They had no idea that the Six Prisons were not a prison but the legacy left by the ancestor of the Demon Suppression Palace after his fall!
Lin Feng’s breaking of the Six Prisons caused them to shatter into pieces, but as a result, he obtained six drops of the ancestor’s essence blood.
Lin Feng’s physique was transformed by integrating the essence blood, and he became the Six Prisons Demon Suppression body.
From then on, he cultivated both Dao and body, soaring to the heavens!
This incident almost led to a great war between the Jiuyan Sect and the Buddha Temple, two righteous sects!
Although the war was ultimately avoided, the Jiuyan Sect still paid a significant price to protect Lin Feng.
If it were Lin Feng’s usual opportunity, Jiang Chen wouldn’t bother to interfere. After all, he needed to use Lin Feng to bring about his own ending and then ascend.
But the Six Prisons Demon Suppression physique was different. It was an ancient physique.
Paired with Lin Feng’s ancient cultivation method, it could lead to a qualitative leap!
If the system’s rewards were not strong enough, then he, the villain, might have to repeat the previous nine lives’ scenario of being humiliated!
Jiang Chen would not allow this to happen. He could die at Lin Feng’s hands, but he would not let himself be trampled on like a stepping stone by the protagonist ever again!
“The Buddha Temple is vast. Can you pinpoint Lin Feng’s exact location through the blood slip?” Jiang Chen asked Xiao Hongyi.
“No, the blood slip only shows a rough location,” Xiao Hongyi replied with a somewhat solemn expression.
This answer made Jiang Chen understand instantly.
Old Man Tianji had awakened!
Although he didn’t know how Lin Feng had managed to wake him, he was indeed awake.
Because only Old Man Tianji could obscure the blood slip’s tracking of Lin Feng.
Now, Lin Feng had the prerequisites to obtain his opportunity.
If left unchecked, the Buddha Temple would surely hand Lin Feng such a great opportunity on a silver platter.
“Master, I need to make a trip to the Buddha Temple,” Jiang Chen finally decided.
“Okay,” Xiao Hongyi nodded simply.
“Master, you…”
Jiang Chen was about to ask Xiao Hongyi not to follow.
After all, if he was going to the Buddha Temple and Lin Feng had already entered the Six Prisons, then he would have to cause a huge disturbance in the temple to be imprisoned in the Six Prisons as well.
Given Xiao Hongyi’s current state, she would definitely not let those bald monks from Buddha Temple capture him.
But after thinking it over, he gave up on the idea.
Because even if he truly tried to stop her and Xiao Hongyi reluctantly agreed, he wouldn’t be able to detect her if Xiao Hongyi was determined to follow him.
It’s the same old saying: if you can’t beat them, can’t tie them down, and can’t bear to part with them, the only option left is to communicate carefully when the time comes.
But as for the other lunatics, Jiang Chen wouldn’t be so polite!
This matter was of great importance, and he would not let those lunatics ruin things!
Soon, Jiang Chen first sought out Jiang Lianyue.
“Lianyue, let’s discuss something!” Jiang Chen got straight to the point.
At that moment, Jiang Lianyue was practicing her swordsmanship and immediately straightened up upon hearing him.
“I will leave the sect tomorrow and it will take at least several months before I can return,” Jiang Chen added.
“I’m coming too!” Jiang Lianyue replied instantly.
“Ah, how I wish I could take you with me.”
Jiang Chen shook his head and sighed, “but you are the only person I trust. I need you to become stronger! Only then can you be my right-hand man!”
The most trusted person? Right-hand man?
These words immediately invigorated Jiang Lianyue!
“So you need to continue your secluded cultivation. You’re only at the middle stage of Earthly Origin… What? You’ve reached the late stage of Earthly Origin already?”
Jiang Chen widened his eyes, quickly changed his tune, and coughed to cover his embarrassment: “Cough cough, such strength is still not enough. The task Eldest Senior Brother gives you is to break through to Heavenly Origin before I return!”
“Heavenly Origin realm?” Jiang Lianyue frowned slightly.
Even with her talent and the memories of nine cycles of reincarnation, breaking through to Heavenly Origin in just a few months would be extremely difficult!
“Lianyue, think about the last time I was captured and taken to the Sect Master’s hall for questioning. What happened to you?” Jiang Chen coaxed gently.
These words made Jiang Lianyue bite her red lips, her beautiful eyes dimming.
That time, she had gone to the rescue.
But before she could self-detonate her imperial essence, she was knocked unconscious by Gu Changqing.
Indeed, as Jiang Chen said, her strength was far from sufficient! She needed to become stronger!
Especially the incident in the Peak Master’s pavilion, where Xiao Hongyi easily dismissed her upon awakening, had always gnawed at her.
“Only when one’s cultivation reaches the heavens can one be truly remarkable and do as one pleases!” Jiang Lianyue murmured.
Jiang Chen didn’t understand but still praised her: “Lianyue, your words are very insightful! They resonate deeply with me! Eldest Senior Brother has always been looking forward to the day when your cultivation reaches the heavens and you can do as you please!”
“…Really?” Jiang Lianyue’s eyes lit up with joy.
“Of course!”
“Great! I’ll start my secluded cultivation right away!”
“Go for it, Fifth Junior Sister!”
Watching Jiang Lianyue trot away, Jiang Chen smiled with satisfaction.
It seems that lunatics need to be tricked; tying them up is not reliable!
After dealing with one, Jiang Chen went to look for Qingning.
At that time, Qingning was frolicking in front of Cloud Soaring Hall with Xiaobai.
A girl and a tiger were having fun, occasionally sharing their experiences in burying people alive.
Seeing Jiang Chen, the girl and the tiger hurried over.
Qingning clung to Jiang Chen’s arm and acted coquettishly.
Xiaobai circled around Jiang Chen and asked, “Eldest Senior Brother, what’s our next step in defying the heavens?”
Not bothering with Xiaobai, Jiang Chen rubbed Qingning’s head and said, “Qingning, let’s discuss something.”
The same approach, nearly identical conversation.
Jiang Chen tricked Qingning into secluded cultivation as well.
The remaining lunatic, Lin Mubai, didn’t need any attention.
Lin Mubai had been personally thrown into the sect’s prison by Old Ancestor Jiuyan, and no specific sentence had been set, so no one dared to release him.
If Old Ancestor didn’t wake up and remember this matter, then Lin Mubai might end up sitting in prison for a long time.
“Haha!” Thinking of this, Jiang Chen laughed out loud.
“Eldest Senior Brother, your laugh is quite sinister! But I like it!” Xiaobai took the opportunity to flatter.
“Why are you still here?” Jiang Chen was surprised.
“I’m a demon beast, so secluded cultivation before my transformation is useless! Since Qingning is in seclusion again, I’ll just follow you.”
“…”
