"You're courting death!"
Ding Ning was shocked. Just as he was about to slash down with his blade, he suddenly realized that his entire body seemed to have been shackled and he could not move at all. He could not help but look up in horror.
He saw that Buddha Lotus's body was shining brightly and an invisible force had shackled him to the ground.
"Living Buddha Lotus, what do you mean by this? Why are you stopping me from killing this devil who has brought disaster to the world? "
Ding Ning could not help but ask loudly as he watched Zhu Gu escape unwillingly.
"Sigh! He and I are related. For my sake, please let him go. I promise that he will never harm the human world in the future! "
A loud voice that seemed to have traveled through the long river of time traveled over. There was a pleading tone in his words.
"You promise? How can you promise? He carries the zombie virus in his body. Once the virus evolves and spreads, the entire human world will be plunged into misery and suffering. It will become hell on earth! "
Ding Ning's face turned red and he roared angrily.
"He won't. He is now a reincarnated spiritual child and has recovered part of his memories from his previous life. The virus has also disappeared and he will not harm the human world anymore."
Living Buddha Lotus made a solemn vow and guaranteed.
Ding Ning's expression was uncertain. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "If what you said is true, I can let him go. However, I have a grudge against him and he will never let me go. If he comes to find trouble with me, I can't just sit and wait for death, can I?"
"If he comes to find you for revenge, you can just use your own means. You are responsible for your own life and death. It is up to the heavens. I will never interfere again!"
Living Buddha Lotus's voice was like a bell, but it was vague and uncertain.
Ding Ning knew that the situation was not in his favor. If Living Buddha Lotus wanted to kill him, it would only take him a moment. After weighing the pros and cons, he nodded and said, "Alright, I will give you face today. However, if he comes to find me for revenge in the future or if he does something outrageous, don't blame me for being merciless!"
"Of course!"
Living Buddha Lotus's voice was getting further and further away. The power that imprisoned him was also gradually dissipating.
Ding Ning regained his freedom of movement. He felt extremely depressed, but he had nowhere to vent it. He was about to chop the thread-bound book that Zhu Gu had thrown at him when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the three small words "Lotus's Writings" written at the bottom of the cover. He quickly picked up the book and looked at it. He saw that the book was yellowed, and on the antique cover were written the three large words "Devil's Heart Sutra" and on the bottom right were the three small words "Lotus's Writings".
"Hey, is this the self-created cultivation method that Lotus Buddha left in Potala Palace? Wasn't he taken away by Da Lai? How could it be in Zhu Gu's hands? "
Ding Ning was surprised, and then he remembered that Zhu Gu and Da Lai had been together some time ago. He guessed that Zhu Gu had stolen it from Da Lai, but now it was Ding Ning's turn.
He quickly opened it and saw that on the first page, it was written in a flamboyant style: "Not seeing all the Dharma is known as attaining the Tao; not understanding all the Dharma is known as dissolving the Dharma. Living beings create delusions and use their hearts to create their hearts, so they are always in hell. Those who do not have the three poisons in their hearts are known as having a peaceful country. All good and evil come from their hearts, and there is no place for them to seek anything outside of their hearts …"
It was extremely mysterious and rich in Zen knowledge, but Ding Ning was immersed in it and gained a lot from it.
He had memorized the first page and immediately turned to the second page. There were three small words at the beginning, "Joining the Devil"!
Joining the Devil?
Ding Ning was startled and continued to read. It recorded in detail the method of joining the Devil, but Lotus had solemnly stated that he had no intention of creating a devil that would bring disaster to the human world, so he had imposed a prohibition. If one did not successfully practice the "Heart Sutra of Bodhi", he would not even be able to join the Devil.
Living Buddha Lotus believed that the power of the devil was very strong. It belonged to the power of the soul, and was one of the hidden treasures of the human body. Whether it was joy, anger, sorrow, joy, sorrow, fear, or hatred, when these emotions were strong to a certain extent, it would stimulate people to burst forth with power far beyond their usual.
For example, when someone was extremely angry or hated someone, he would be able to release power that was many times stronger than usual.
This kind of power that came from the soul, when it was strong or paranoid to a certain extent, would become a devil — the Inner Devil.
The power of the devil was very strong, but it was very difficult to control. If one was not careful, one would be controlled by the devil. People often said that one would be blinded by hatred or lose his mind because of anger. It meant that when one was controlled by the devil, one would do things that went against his own conscience.
The "Devil Heart Sutra" was a cultivation method on how to use the power of the devil without being controlled by the devil. That was why there was a requirement that one could only practice the "Devil Heart Sutra of Bodhi" after he had successfully practiced it. Otherwise, the practitioner would be easily controlled by the devil and become a devil that would bring disaster to the world.
The so-called joining of the devil was very similar to the Demon Clan's Madness. It was a state of joining the devil after a strong emotion was stimulated. This state could stimulate the potential of the human body and increase the combat power.
With the foundation of the "Heart Sutra of Bodhi", Ding Ning easily learned the Chapter of Joining the Devil and turned the irrational joining of the devil into a controllable one, which made him overjoyed. He had been thinking about how to learn the Demon Clan's Madness before.
Now the effect of joining the devil was no less than that of the Madness, and he could still maintain a clear mind. It was simply a method tailor-made for him.
He tried to enter the devil when he was in his second personality to see if he could superimpose it. The result made him overjoyed. He could really superimpose it, and his strength directly quadrupled.
It was a pity that he could not maintain that state for a long time. Otherwise, he would easily lose control of his emotions and be controlled by the devil. But he was already very satisfied. His combat power quadrupled in a short time could definitely be a big trump card to turn defeat into victory at a critical moment.
After the Chapter of Joining the Devil, Ding Ning was fascinated by some skills and secret methods of using the devil power. For example, the Blood Demon Disintegration Technique that risked one's life for another, the Blood Escape Technique that burned the power of one's blood essence to speed up one's escape, the Bone Explosion Technique that allowed one to perish together with the enemy …
To others, these self-mutilating life-saving methods would only be used as a last resort. But he could use them frequently as a regular combat method. Don't forget that he had the Greenwood Body, which had amazing recovery power. These evil secret methods were tailor-made for him.
This trip was not in vain. Not only did he obtain the Immortal Stone and the magic mirror, but he also obtained the "Demon Heart Sutra". Ding Ning's gloominess about not being able to kill Zhu Gu was swept away. He respectfully knelt in front of Living Buddha Lotus' Body Relic and kowtowed three times.
The Way could not be easily passed on. Since he had obtained the Buddha's inheritance, in a sense, he could be considered as his master. Respecting the Way had always been a virtue of the people of Divine Prefecture, and it was also part of his character.
Since he was already here, he naturally wanted to see what else was down there. Especially now that he was in high spirits and wanted to find someone to practice with.
In the fourth hall, Zhu Gu had already disappeared, but there were four strong men dressed as grassland cavalries blocking his way. Their combat power had actually reached the level of an early stage Great Grandmaster.
Although Ding Ning did not take them seriously, he could not help but be secretly shocked. If Temujin had such strong men under his command, then how strong would he be?
Without hesitation, he directly smashed the head of the living dead and strode towards the fifth hall.
Zhu Gu was in a miserable state at the moment. He was already injured, and when he forced his way into the fourth hall, his injuries worsened. When he arrived at the fifth hall, he was finally entangled by two Middle-stage Great Grandmasters. At this moment, he was on the verge of death, and could only rely on the speed of his eight legs to continuously dodge. When he saw Ding Ning coming in, a hint of despair appeared in his eyes.
Ding Ning looked at him and did not pay attention to him. He took the opportunity to enter the passage and went to the sixth hall. Although he promised Lotus Buddha to let him go, he did not say that he would return good for evil to save his life. It would be best if he was killed by these living dead, so that he would not be troubled.
When Zhu Gu saw that Ding Ning actually turned a blind eye to him and did not attack him, he immediately became spirited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. Even at the risk of getting injured again, he dared not go forward with Ding Ning in front of him. Who knew if this guy would suddenly have a brain cramp and kill him. Right now, he just wanted to quickly leave this place and stay far away from Ding Ning. Before he had the absolute strength to crush him, he did not want to encounter him again.
In the sixth hall, he finally saw some goods. There were a few western oil paintings and murals hanging on the wall, as well as a few boxes containing jewelry. Looking at the pile of decayed bones on the ground, it was obvious that these were the real funerary objects.
However, the living dead guarding here had been replaced by two experts of the Late-stage Great Grandmaster Realm. But for Ding Ning, the living dead were living dead, and their combat power was far less than that of the real experts of the Great Grandmaster Realm. After spending two minutes to easily kill them, he began to wantonly collect these treasures that Genghis Khan had robbed from the western countries.
In the seventh hall, Ding Ning's face was a little dignified. It was not that the guards had become experts of the God Martial Arts Realm, but that the experts of the Early-stage of the Great Grandmaster Realm had become 36, and they were all equipped with bone horses. They began to charge in a battle formation. The power of their joint battle formation was not comparable to that of the outermost soldiers. Even Ding Ning did not dare to go against them lightly and fought with all his strength.
After fighting for nearly half an hour, Ding Ning even used his second personality to defeat them one by one and began to collect the funerary objects.
In the eighth hall, Ding Ning looked at the 36 Mid-stage Great Grandmaster Realm guards in front of him and felt that it was a little troublesome. Although it was only a small level difference, their combat power was not the same as before. That powerful aura and murderous aura, just one charge from them had forced him to use his second personality. In order to end the battle quickly, he went into the demonic state and killed these people with four times his combat power. The boxes of jewelry and the antiques that were scattered all over the ground were all stored into his storage ring.
He was not in a hurry to go to the ninth hall, he had a hunch that the ninth hall would be the ultimate battle. He had to rest and recover to his peak condition before challenging them.
At this point, he no longer felt that this place was Genghis Khan's Tomb, but more like a trial ground.
What made him feel strange was that after such a long time, no one had come in yet. This was too illogical. With Tian Xuanzi and Feng Lingxiao's strength, they should have been here long ago. After all, the slightly stronger guards in the previous few halls had all been killed by them.
Could something have happened? Ding Ning took out the magic mirror worriedly and to his surprise, he found out that the guards whose heads were smashed by him had all been revived and were fighting with the people who were rushing in. The ones who were the fastest were Tian Xuanzi, Feng Shen, and Yu Shen. They had already reached the seventh hall while Feng Lingxiao and his daughter had just reached the fifth hall. They were circling around Living Buddha Lotus' body relic and it seemed like they were trying to figure out how to bring him out.
Ding Ning estimated that they wouldn't be able to make it here so he didn't bother to wait for them and entered the ninth hall.
"What the heck, is this even possible?"
Ding Ning couldn't help but curse before he even entered the ninth hall. The last level was indeed the most difficult. The number of guards in here was even more than the total number of guards from the first to the eighth hall. They were all lined up neatly and patrolling back and forth.
In the innermost part of the palace was a huge stone coffin. Three peak Great Grandmaster guards wearing general armor stood motionlessly in front of the coffin like door gods. The one on the left had a bow on his back, the one on the right held a brass horn, and the one in the middle carried a large pole with nine white tails on it.
