Ji Kong's luck in gambling was not good. Or rather, the timing he chose was not good.
Had he not encountered Shang Tianliang and the others who had stepped into the Martial Immortal realm, Chu Xiu would have no choice but to fight. He would not have bet with him.
However, after Shang Tianliang reached the Martial Immortal realm, Chu Xiu's subordinates, from the First Heaven to the Fifth Heaven, could be said to be complete. There were Martial Immortals of all levels. In fact, it could even be said that they stood at the apex of cultivators of the same level.
Of course, this did not mean that the Martial Immortals of the Sky Luo Temple were weak. It was just that Shang Tianliang and the others were too strong.
Shang Tianliang, Lu Jiang He, and Lu Fengxian had all relied on themselves to walk their own path of martial cultivation. They had encountered opportunities and slaughtered their way to their current realm.
As for the Heads of the Heavenly Net Treasure Temple and the other pavilions, even after reaching the Martial Immortal realm, they would still walk the path of the former. Very rarely would there be a generation of Martial Immortals who could walk their own path and establish their own pavilions.
Although there were a few in the past ten thousand years, there were none in this generation.
Chu Xiu looked at Zen Master Ji Kong and said indifferently, "Zen Master Ji Kong, at this stage, are you still not prepared to admit defeat? If we get serious and get injured, don't blame the Kunlun Devil Cult for killing us. "
Zen Master Ji Kong let out a long breath, put his palms together, chanted a Buddhist name, and said in a deep voice, "Life and death are decreed by fate. At the Martial Immortal realm, no one would fear death even in a real fight to the death. This is only the beginning. It's not yet time to determine victory or defeat."
They had only exchanged a few blows. Even though the Sky Luo Temple's side was at a complete disadvantage, they could not just surrender. Otherwise, where would the Sky Luo Temple put its face?
As they fought, the remnants of the Primordial God Palace and the Ten Thousand Buddha Palace began to collapse, revealing some of the things buried within.
The Ten Thousand Buddha Palace was a remnant left behind thousands of years before the Great Calamity of the Ancient Era. It was the most prosperous period of Buddhism in the Western Region.
At that time, although there weren't as many as 10,000 Buddhist sects in the entire Western Region, there were hundreds of Buddhist sects' branches, so there were at least 8,000 of them.
During that era, the Buddhist Sect would have a gathering every ten years, and the gathering place was the Wanfu Palace.
However, there was an internal strife in the Buddhist Sect, which led to the disappearance of 90% of the Buddhist Sect's branches. This also led to the rise of the Heavenly Luo Temple and the decline of the Myriad Buddha Palace.
However, no matter how much this place had declined, it was still the sacred ground of the Buddhist Sect in the past. It was said that when the Heavenly Luo Treasure Temple chose to leave the Upper Mortal Heavens in search of a new lease of life in the Daluotian Continent, there were still some old monks of the Ten Thousand Buddha Palace who stayed behind.
Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures were revealed in the shattered palaces. Some of them were even damaged, which made Zen Master Jikong, who was watching the battle from the outside, frown slightly.
As for the things that were enshrined in the main hall of the Original God Palace, they were a little strange. They were all oddly-shaped things. Some looked like ancient demonic gods, and some were magical objects that were pieced together. Some didn't even look like humans.
Tian Hun's understanding of the Original God Palace was also vague. He didn't know what was in the deepest part of the Original God Palace. He only knew that the lunatics of the Original God Palace must have researched something good. At the very least, it would be very useful to the current Chu Xiu.
As the two groups fought, their figures involuntarily shifted towards the deepest part of the remnant. They didn't realize that a pair of eyes had already locked onto them.
At that moment, in the deepest part of the remnant, two main halls were stacked together. On one side was the majestic Mahavira Hall, and on the other side was a strange palace with a circular top and a strange bottom.
Halos flickered in the depths of the strange palace, and in the center of the halos floated an existence that didn't seem like a human. To be more precise, it was a strange living creature.
It was 30 feet tall, like a small giant. Its body was like a human's, but it had a tail that was as long as an arm. Every bit of its skin and flesh shone with a golden light, as if it had been chiseled by a knife. It could be said to be perfect.
It had four arms, and its face was shrouded in light, so it couldn't be seen clearly. One could only vaguely see one black and one white, and two eyes without pupils. At the same time, there were two curved half-moon horns on its head, one black and one white.
However, at that moment, its four arms and legs were shackled by bronze chains. The chains were engraved with runes that suppressed its power.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of the perfect living creature created by the Original God Palace in the past. Every bit of its existence was created according to the power of this world. If the Original God Palace had truly created you, they might have really created a god."
Standing in front of the strange living creature was a monk. He was a burly monk, but his face was pale and distorted. His broken body was pieced together by bone spurs, and his eyes were glowing red.
His appearance was almost identical to the three existences from 500 years ago that Chu Xiu had seen in the Dragon's Vein in the past.
However, compared to them, this monk seemed to have a great sense of autonomy. He could speak and communicate freely, unlike the other three, who even had difficulty speaking.
"Perfect? The Heavenly Way is flawed, and it isn't a perfect existence. How can I be perfect?
Moreover, the people of the Original God Palace aren't gods themselves, so how can they create gods?
They aren't gods, and they don't understand gods. Humans can't create existences that they don't understand. This is a paradox. "
The strange living creature's voice didn't sound like a man's or a woman's gender.
The monk shook his head and said, "Humans can't create gods, but you can become a god yourself.
In the past 10,000 years, you have read all the ancient books of the Original God Palace. Don't you want to go out?
A perfect living creature like you is unique in this world. Your cultivation speed is tremendous. As long as you are given a chance, you will mend yourself to the point of perfection and become a real god! "
The strange living creature gazed at the monk calmly with its black and white eyes. "The ancient books of the Original God Palace taught me many things. For example, if you want something, you must first give it. I want to go out, but I want to know the price you have to pay for letting me out. What you will get will definitely be more than what I got. "
The monk sighed and said, "You aren't a human. Why do you need to read the writings of so many people? The human heart is sinister. It will only make you filthy and further away from being a god. "
"I feel that you are scolding me."
The monk's slightly ferocious face stiffened. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Since you want to use the human way to talk, it's even simpler.
I am here on behalf of my Master. I can let you go.
The price is two things. One is that when my Master returns to this world, you have to stand on his side and clear the obstacles for him.
The second thing is your third eye. "
The glabella of the strange living creature flickered. A slit opened and a vertical eye peeked out.
The vertical eye didn't have a pupil. Black and white intertwined like chaos. It was very strange.
The strange living creature shook its head and said, "I can promise you the first thing, but not the second.
One eye can look at the sky and the other eye can look into the netherworld.
Only my third eye is the eye that controls the balance of yin and yang. The third eye is the most perfect state.
You said that I can become a god. If I give you my third eye, I will never be able to become a god. "
The monk shook his head and said, "Wrong, very wrong.
If I'm not wrong, you still can't fuse with the third eye.
In the past, the Original God Palace created this perfect third eye and wanted to let you fuse with it. In the end, even after the Original God Palace was destroyed, they didn't succeed.
If you can fuse with the third eye, why did you hide it for more than ten thousand years?
The perfection created isn't true perfection. You need the third eye, but it isn't the third eye that the Original God Palace gave you. It is the third eye that you comprehended from the source of yin and yang.
Give it to me, and I will give you freedom.
Serve my Master, and when he returns, he will give you true perfection and help you become a god! "
The strange living creature was silent for a long time and said, "You said that humans can't create gods."
"But my Master has already surpassed the human body and controls a world. Such an existence is already above gods and buddhas!"
The monk's eyes were suffused with a blood-red glow. However, it wasn't murderous intent but fanatical reverence.
At this time, the sounds of Shang Tianliang and the others fighting with the people of the Heavenly Luo Treasure Temple came from outside. The monk frowned and urged, "Quick! There isn't enough time!
You should know what your identity is. The Original God Palace wants to make you a god, but outsiders see you as a monster!
The timing isn't right. There are already people outside fighting their way in. If they see you, you will never have the chance to escape! "
The strange living creature was silent for a long time. Finally, it said, "Remove my seal first."
"Give me the third eye first!"
The strange living creature shook its head and said in an unhurried and emotionless tone, "Remove my seal first."
The monk was helpless. It was really difficult to communicate with such an inhuman existence.
He formed seals with both hands and Buddhist light burst out, quickly dissolving the sealing formation runes on the chains from the outside.
When all the bronze chains were dissolved, the strange living creature's body emitted rays of light. Its aura continued to rise. Just by looking at its aura, it had the might of a Sixth or Seventh Heavens Martial Immortal.
After removing the seal, it didn't go back on its words.
It formed seals with both hands and the third eye on its forehead slowly stretched out. There were even traces of blood lines on it.
The strange living creature stretched out its hand and severed the blood lines. Just as it was about to sever all the blood lines, the hall was smashed into pieces.
Lu Jiang He, who originally had the upper hand, mocked Monk Ji Sheng and angered the other party. He burned his blood essence and attacked with all his might, sending Lu Jiang He into the deepest part of the hall.
Lu Jiang He coughed and crawled up while cursing. He coincidentally saw the monk in front of him. He was stunned at first, then as if he had seen a ghost, he suddenly shouted.
"Monk Long Tu!? How could it be you? You were clearly stabbed by the Heartless Demon Venerable. How could you still be alive? Did you become a zombie? "
