Chapter 1312: The Devouring Emperor's Secret
The golden pillars engraved with devil-subduing vajras disappeared, and the devil-subduing golden chains were undone.
The devil-subduing pestles on Hui Neng's body were pulled away, and the bloody holes on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Hui Neng's body was surging with vigor, but he didn't hurt anyone. Instead, he was extremely gentle, protecting everyone and giving them a sense of warmth and peace of mind.
Ordinary ancient sages weren't a match for Hui Neng, who had a sacred bone as his body. His strength had also skyrocketed while he'd been bedeviled. As long as he could refine the demonic seed in his heart, he might be able to step into the realm of ancient sages, because he already had an opportunity to become a Sage.
Hui Neng's expression was resolute, and his aura was calm. He looked at Xuanyuan, put his palms together, and bowed. "Many thanks to Holy Lord Xuanyuan for saving us. Thank you all!"
This was the true Hui Neng!
Xuanyuan placed the Vajra Bodhi Saint Child into his palm and fused it into his body. As long as this relic didn't attack Xuanyuan, the old monk inside wouldn't appear. Xuanyuan knew that he didn't have the strength to activate this relic's miraculous effects. Otherwise, the Vajra Deity's evil intent wouldn't have been able to escape.
"It's just karma. You and I are both fated. I hope that Reverend Hui Neng can become a Holy Monk in the future and save the human race from disaster," Xuanyuan said with a carefree smile.
"But Hui Neng killed 9,000 disciples of the Vajra Ancient Temple. If he appeared again, would anyone believe him?" Peng Fei was a bit puzzled as he looked at the crowd. This was indeed a problem, and many of them had thought of it but hadn't said anything. Peng Fei was more direct.
"Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. Our disciples are broad-minded and can let go of all evil. Moreover, it wasn't Hui Neng's original intention, so they can understand. Hui Neng's success in subduing the demon is the Vajra Ancient Temple's fortune." Hui Neng spoke slowly, but his words made everyone feel at ease.
Hui Neng's entire body was shrouded in holy light. The Guardian Deity Dharmakaya contained many secrets, some of which even he could not fathom. In the Sage and Saint realm, the word "holy" was too difficult to understand.
"That's good." Xuanyuan nodded and said, "I wanted to catch up with Reverend Hui Neng, but I didn't expect something like this to happen. I'm afraid that everyone in the Vajra Ancient Temple has many things to deal with, so I won't disturb you any longer."
Hui Neng shook his head and said, "It's fine. Holy Lord Xuanyuan has made such a leap in just a few years and established the Blue Dragon Holy Land. I'm impressed. Since you've come to the Vajra Ancient Temple, you are our honored guests. Please stay here for a few days. Brother Hui Neng, I'll leave them to you. I'll first repent to the Vajra Ancient Temple's disciples. Please wait for me for a while, Holy Lord Xuanyuan."
"That's fine. We also need to gather our thoughts and move on to the next step of the plan." Xuanyuan nodded. Indeed, he had nothing to do at the moment, and he didn't know where to go even if he left.
"Alright. Everyone, follow me. The nine elders will follow Hui Neng." As soon as Hui Neng finished speaking, Buddhist light fell from the sky and enveloped Xuanyuan's group.
In the blink of an eye, the group arrived at a side hall of the Vajra Ancient Temple. It was quite spacious, spanning hundreds of meters.
Here, the floor was paved with white stone, and the walls were red with black bricks. Vajra images were carved into the pillars.
All sorts of ancient Buddhist texts could be seen everywhere. In the garden, there were Vajra flowers, Vidyaraja grass, Demon Subduing Trees, Karmic Trees, and all sorts of exotic Buddhist flowers. Being here made one feel at peace and eliminated all worries.
"You can stay here for the time being and make your own arrangements. I still have matters to attend to, so forgive me for not accompanying you." Hui Neng put his palms together, bowed, and left.
Xuanyuan smiled and didn't say much. Not long after, a large bell rang through the entire Vajra Ancient Temple.
This was an internal matter, so Xuanyuan naturally understood. For the Vajra Ancient Temple, Hui Neng being able to suppress the demons in his heart was a matter worth celebrating.
"Hui Neng really is a person of great perseverance. The Vajra Vidyaraja's evil will is extremely terrifying and incomparably resolute. Even if ten thousand of us chanted the Rebirth Mantra, we still wouldn't be able to completely purify it. But Hui Neng was actually able to stubbornly resist such an evil will and endure it until now. He is the person with the strongest willpower I've ever seen." Yuan 'er sighed emotionally. Her clear eyes gazed at the blue sky and white clouds, reflecting everything.
"In this lifetime, Hui Neng really is one of those people that I admire. He's not simple, not simple." The damn fatty shook his head as if he was passing judgment on everything.
"What does Xuanyuan plan to do next?" Ba Ji looked at Xuanyuan.
"Looking at the situation, I originally came to the Western Prefecture to hone myself, so I could go anywhere. But now that there are people like Jiang Yitian, and the Divine Race has actually extended their hands here, I think I should also counterattack. Otherwise, if I allow them to use the Divine Race's Source Energy to bribe those wandering cultivators, the consequences will be unimaginable." Xuanyuan's expression was very solemn. Right now, the human race was facing internal and external troubles. If some things weren't contained, then the Central Divine Prefecture would suffer unbearable pain.
"I don't know where they are or how to counterattack. We need to find a nest and wipe them all out. Otherwise, we'll just alert the enemy." Yan Ziyun sighed. It wasn't that she hadn't thought about this problem before. She had also thought about sharing Xuanyuan's worries, but she hadn't been able to think of a good way.
Xuanyuan frowned and said, "This is indeed a difficult problem. Think about it, there will always be a way. Alright, everyone, don't worry needlessly. Everyone, have a good rest."
Everyone nodded and each chose a room from this side hall and moved in. Only Xuanyuan sat alone on a stone chair in the courtyard, deep in thought.
"Greedy Old Man, how do you think this matter should be handled? What is Jiang Yitian's goal?" Xuanyuan asked in his heart.
"From the memories of the Ancient Sages we've killed so far, we don't know exactly what they want. We only know that they are serving the Divine Race. Jiang Yitian is completely secretive about them," said the Greedy Old Man.
"According to the general situation of the Central Divine Prefecture, I think that the Divine Race sending Jiang Yitian to gather these experts should be because they are making a move. They want Jiang Yitian to kill his way into the Archean royalty's forbidden area and rescue those fierce existences. Then, they will attack from both sides and break through the Central Divine Prefecture. Sadly, the Divine Race is about to descend, and now the Archean royalty is still planning how to fight for the human race's destiny. This is really a headache." Thinking of this, Xuanyuan also felt very helpless. Even if what he said was true, no one would believe him. Even if they did believe him, they might not necessarily be of one mind.
"At least now that Ba Ji and Yiyi know about this matter, I believe that with their status, they can still make me not move, and even cooperate with you. The other royal families can't do anything about it." The Greedy Old Man was also not relaxed. This matter was too serious. "Forget it, let's not think about it.
Get The Great Pig to find the key to open the Immortal Devouring Mansion. I feel that many people can't be relied on, except myself. If one day, the Blue Dragon Holy Land can't be protected, we can still transfer the people to the Immortal Devouring Mansion. At the very least, we have to leave a bloodline for the human race. "Xuanyuan's heart sank. Right now, his strength was limited, and the future was not something he could control. He could only think of a way out first.
"Haha, you've learned to be smart, kid. Don't worry, the Devouring Emperor is constantly searching. I think we'll have news soon." The Greedy Old Man laughed.
"Also, Greedy Old Man, there's something I want to ask you." Xuanyuan's expression suddenly became serious.
"What is it?" The Greedy Old Man's heart immediately began to pound.
"You once told me that when the Nightmare Ghost was roaming the world, the Devouring Emperor was only a child. That means that the Devouring Emperor existed in the Primeval Age, but the real Devouring Emperor was only a figure from tens of thousands of years ago. How do you explain this?" Xuanyuan had always been puzzled. This was something he could not understand.
"Ai, now that things have come to this, there are some things I can only tell you." The Greedy Old Man sighed helplessly.
"The Devouring Emperor's soul was very strange. It could reincarnate endlessly, and was indestructible. When the Devouring Emperor reached a certain level, he once said that he had seen the Nightmare Ghost in the Primeval Age. At that time, both the Devouring Emperor and I were skeptical."
"What, you mean?" Xuanyuan was shocked.
"That's right, the Devouring Emperor's soul is unknown. As long as he cultivates to a certain level in his next life, then all of his past memories will be awakened. I can't give a clear explanation for this, because we don't know much about the Devouring Emperor. But I once heard the Devouring Emperor say that only by experiencing a thousand tribulations can one reach perfection. When it comes to the Devouring Emperor's life, it just so happens to be a love tribulation." The Greedy Old Man sighed.
"Then you mean that the Devouring Emperor is very likely to be alive?" Xuanyuan was shocked.
"But there are countless geniuses in this world. I don't know which one is him. Do you remember the Jiangnan Emperor that the Devouring Emperor once mentioned? It's just that no one knows about the past life of the Devouring Sovereign. There's a lot more, but the Devouring Sovereign didn't reveal too much. The only reason we know that the Jiangnan Grand Emperor was his past life was because he once said he wanted to go back to his homeland to take a look. That's what the Devouring Sovereign and I guessed, "said Greed.
"..." Xuanyuan's thoughts were in a mess. He calmed himself down and thought about it. Just like his own soul, it also came from a foreign world. So the Devouring Emperor's soul was very likely to be the same as his, but from a higher level. Otherwise, how could his soul reach the realm of indestructibility?
As soon as the Devouring Emperor was killed, the Qi of the Human Race declined in an instant. Xuanyuan couldn't help but frown at the thought of all this.
