At this time, Jiang Chen was unaware that Zhang Hu had been beaten up again because of him.
Even if he knew, he would probably just say “That’s rough” and then feel sorry for Zhang Hu for a moment.
For now, the Six Buddha Sons had been severely injured.
Seeing that Jiang Chen truly had no intention of stealing the Buddhist Sect’s relics, the Buddha Sons, enduring their bodily pain, picked up the relics again, chanted scriptures in repentance, and then swallowed them whole.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen looked on with disdain.
The Buddhist Sect is the Buddhist Sect, with truly peculiar tastes!
Faced with Jiang Chen’s contempt, the Buddha Sons like Ci En didn’t care and sat cross-legged, chanting Buddhist scriptures and using the relics to heal their injuries.
Time quietly passed.Finally, the Six Buddha Sons opened their eyes again, their eyes flashing with fighting spirit.
And then…
“Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon! The Dragon Soars in the Sky!” Jiang Chen leaped into the air and shouted loudly.
The Buddhist power pressed down like a mountain once more, and the golden dragon reappeared. Combined, the relics that had just been swallowed were all beaten out again.
The Six Buddha Sons were utterly disheartened.
They truly couldn’t win.
Not only was their Buddhist power restrained by Jiang Chen, but he had also learned several superior-grade secret techniques that only cultivators of the upper four realms could learn!
How could they fight?
They stood no chance even if they were a whole realm ahead of Jiang Chen!
In the end, the Six Buddha Sons gave up and chose to wait for death in despair.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen showed no signs of continuing the attack.
The Buddha Sons looked at each other and prepared to flee.
Although monks are not afraid of death, no one wants to be slaughtered when it’s clear they can’t win.
Ci En took the lead, bolstering his legs with the last of his vital energy, ready to run for his life.
But he had only taken one step…
“Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon! The Dragon Soars in the Sky!” Jiang Chen’s voice rang out again, like that of an evil Buddha.
The next second, Ci En was pressed to the ground by the Buddhist power, and then the golden dragon descended from the sky.
“Pfft!”
He spat out another mouthful of blood and passed out.
Seeing this, the other Buddha Sons shrank their necks and completely abandoned the thought of escaping.
Unable to understand Jiang Chen’s purpose, one of the Buddha Sons asked softly, “What do you want?”
The answer was, “Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon! The Dragon Soars in the Sky!”
The scene was momentarily as silent as death.
Watching their two unconscious companions, the remaining Buddha Sons dared not speak further.
Worried that Jiang Chen would resort to “Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon” at the slightest disagreement, they even gave up the idea of healing and just sat cross-legged on the spot, silently reciting scriptures in their hearts.
As for why they recited silently, it was naturally because they didn’t dare to speak out loud.
After all, that “Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon” was a bit too damaging…
Time continued to pass.
Jiang Chen neither left nor intended to let the Six Buddha Sons go, and he didn’t even withdraw his golden body.
After tossing a few high-grade pills into his mouth to restore his vital energy, he quietly waited.
As for what he was waiting for?
At first, the Buddha Sons didn’t understand. But after a bit of thought, they all had a realization.
This place was the Buddha Temple, and they were the Buddha Sons of the Buddha Temple.
In full view of everyone, Jiang Chen had killed people, destroyed the temple, and left two of the Six Buddha Sons half-paralyzed.
Without a doubt, the higher-ups of the Buddha Temple would not stand idly by.
They would surely come to their aid!
‘Utterly ignorant of death! When the strong ones from our temple arrive, you will be liberated on the spot!’
Thought one of the Buddha Sons disdainfully, glancing at Jiang Chen before looking away.
“Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon!” Jiang Chen suddenly attacked.
Another Buddha Son became half-paralyzed!
Before passing out, the Buddha Son asked in confusion, “Why!?”
“You just gave me a strange look,” Jiang Chen replied instantly.
As soon as these words were spoken, a brief silence followed, and then the other Buddha’s disciples quickly closed their eyes, daring not to open them again.
By this time, the crowd of onlookers had grown even larger.
Seeing that the Six Buddha sons of the Buddha Temple had been beaten up by Jiang Chen, the already brainwashed crowd was even more impressed, prostrating themselves in admiration.
They gathered from all directions, continuously worshipping Jiang Chen’s golden aura, their eyes filled with fervor.
“Monk, you look somewhat familiar,”
Suddenly, a deep and resonant voice sounded.
Jiang Chen looked towards the source of the voice and his eyelids twitched.
The one who had spoken was none other than Mu Kui!
At that moment, Mu Kui was holding a preacher monk who seemed to have gone mad, his gaze constantly sizing up the golden aura formed by Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen immediately understood.
It must be that Mu Kui had driven another preacher monk to madness, and while chasing after him, he had coincidentally arrived at this place.
Quickly signaling with his eyes, Jiang Chen instructed his younger brothers Liu Wen, Liu Wu, and Xiaobai to hide.
Only then did Jiang Chen say to Mu Kui, “All beings have many faces, but Buddha has but one. Donor, you find me familiar because there is Buddha in your heart.”
“…So it is.”
After pondering for a moment, Mu Kui had an epiphany.
But he did not leave.
Instead, he glanced at the mad preacher monk in his hand and then at Jiang Chen.
This repeated for more than ten times, his expression one of wanting to say something but hesitating.
Jiang Chen’s mouth twitched, and disguising his voice with a Buddhist chant, he said,
“Just spit what you want to sya!”
“Monk, the way you speak is indeed innovative and unique!”
Instead of getting angry, Mu Kui praised him, “Not like those other preachers who speak in obscure terms and always quote Buddha, which is really boring!”
Jiang Chen was speechless.
Feeling that talking to Mu Kui was too exhausting, he simply shut his mouth.
“I hope the monk will enlighten me and bestow upon me a Dharma name,” Mu Kui said with his hands clasped together.
Enlighten you?
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes.
I mean, who can enlighten an emperor reincarnated, especially one who has been stripped of all wisdom except for martial arts?
If Mu Kui could truly be enlightened, then the moment he arrived here, he would have been transformed by Jiang Chen’s Buddhist light, just like the other monks and cultivators, bowing in worship! However, Jiang Chen also understood Mu Kui’s thoughts.
He probably wanted to recite scriptures and chant Buddha properly, then complete the sect mission to impress himself.
Through nine cycles of reincarnation, Mu Kui had always been traveling and seldom returned to the sect.
Before his own memories as a Martial Emperor awakened, he was influenced by Lin Feng’s ‘protagonist’s halo’, but unlike Jiang Lianyue and others, he did not criticize or show disgust towards Jiang Chen.
After all, this was a martial emperor who had reincarnated to defy the heavens. His mind was fully focused on cultivation and he was deeply immersed in it, hardly influenced by the outside world.
To be fair, Jiang Chen didn’t dislike Mu Kui either.
Although their starting points were different, Mu Kui was indeed another person in the nine cycles of reincarnation who was always defying the heavens.
“I see that you have six of the seven orifices open. You are talented! You have no fear in your heart and no heaven in your eyes, so I will give you the Dharma name ‘Wutian’ (No Heaven), hoping that one day you can truly…”
At this point, Jiang Chen stopped speaking.
He looked up at the sky and continued in his heart: ‘truly defy the heavens.’
Upon hearing this, Mu Kui felt that the monk in front of him was scolding him.
He was indeed simple-minded but not stupid!
Six of the seven orifices open? Wasn’t that blatantly saying he was clueless?
However, upon hearing the Dharma name ‘Wu Tian’, Mu Kui felt the hot blood surging within him!
He too looked up at the sky and asked, “Does the monk also find the sky(heaven) displeasing? Often, I feel the urge to tear it apart with my own hands.”
“Once I did,” Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze.
Once?
Mu Kui was puzzled.
Although he didn’t understand, with his ‘intelligence’, he never dwelled on anything he didn’t understand.
Having received a Dharma name, he considered his chanting and scripture reading to be adequate.
Although the monk in front of him was clearly opposed to the Buddha Temple, the Buddha Temple had no rule that a Dharma name given by an outside monk couldn’t count as passing.
<!-- Incontent 2 -->
“Hehe,” Mu Kui chuckled with satisfaction, feeling it was a smart move.
Next, he could go and complete the sect mission, and then with actual actions, prove to his Eldest Senior Brother that he was no longer foolish.
Thinking of Jiang Chen, Mu Kui frowned.
Even the simple-minded him used to feel a sense of disgust when thinking of Jiang Chen. Lately, however, although the disgust was still there, it seemed out of place and strange for some reason.
‘Could it be related to those forgotten dreams?’ Mu Kui pondered to himself.
Unable to figure it out, he simply gave up and turned to leave.
And just as he was leaving…
The sky suddenly changed!
The sound of Buddhist chants was deafening, and a rainbow of Buddhist light filled the clouds.
A thin monk wearing a kasaya and holding prayer beads used the light as a bridge to walk through the air from afar, eventually standing above.
“What a strong aura of malice!”
The monk squinted his eyes and said to Jiang Chen, “Demonic monk! Where did you learn the precious sutras of our temple? If you confess honestly, you will be liberated on the spot! Otherwise, you will enter the Six Prisons of Buddha and never be reincarnated!”
