As he spoke, the thin monk glanced at the monks and cultivators below who were still worshipping him.
With a flick of his prayer beads, he uttered, “Wake up!”
These two simple words caused the Buddhist light to intensify.
The rainbow light spread for li, not only covering the five-colored Buddhist light emitted by Jiang Chen in an instant but also shattering the Six Syllable Mantra that was still spinning into golden light.
After hearing the sound, the worshipping monks and cultivators all woke up suddenly, drenched in cold sweat.
Jiang Chen looked at the thin monk without any change in expression.
He recognized this thin monk.
In the nine cycles of reincarnation, this old man appeared every time he tried to enter the Six Prisons of Buddha to snatch and destroy Lin Feng’s opportunities.This made Jiang Chen’s heart rejoice.
If it had been any other great monk who had come, he would have had to consider the risk of being captured and liberated on the spot.
But now, there was no need for that.
The monk with the Dharma name Pu Jie in front of him was a cultivator in the Fate Transformation realm and was one of the Great Universal Salvation Monks of the Buddha Temple, in charge of the Six Prisons of Buddha!
Falling into his hands means there is only one path: into the Six Prisons of Buddha!
The key point was, he did not recognize Jiang Chen! Jiang Chen had considered whether, even if he could enter the Buddha Temple, his cultivation and techniques would be abolished if they were exposed.
The conclusion he came to was that they would not be.
The reason was simple.
In the eyes of the people of the Buddha Temple, the Six Prisons of Buddha were meant to transform (torture) the cultivators with deep sins.
The Buddha Temple did not abolish anyone’s cultivation and techniques to gradually despair the wicked in their struggles.
Furthermore, if Jiang Chen died in the Six Prisons of Buddha, then the Buddha Temple would never know why the temple’s precious sutras were leaked.
Therefore, the Buddha Temple would only throw him into the hells to be tortured!
“Demonic monk, would you like to take your own life or remove your golden body and follow me to the Six Prisons of Buddha? To taste all the sufferings of the world, where you can neither live nor die?” Pu Jie asked again.
Is there even a choice?
Jiang Chen immediately removed the golden aura, returned to his original appearance, and clasped his hands together, “Amitabha, naturally I will enter the Six Prisons of Buddha. After all, if I do not enter hell, who will?” (TLN: The prison in this context could also be interpreted as ‘hell’.)
Upon hearing this, Pu Jie was taken aback.
Normally, those demonic monks would show a face of horror when he mentioned the Buddha’s Six Prisons, but the demonic monk before him actually wanted to be imprisoned?
That would have been fine, but the words he spoke were quite Zen-like!
“…Are you sure? Those who enter the Six Prisons are bound for a hundred years! If you go in, you’ll need at least a hundred years before you can see the light of day again! And that’s assuming you’re still alive and sane,” Pu Jie said while narrowing his eyes.
After thinking for a moment, he added, “Once you’re in the Six Prisons, you’ll regret not choosing to be liberated by me on the spot.”
Jiang Chen didn’t respond, just smiled and appeared ready to be captured.
“Hmph, since that’s the case, I’ll see you on your way!” Pu Jie didn’t hesitate and made his move.
But just as he was about to restrain Jiang Chen with the Buddha’s light, he sensed a strong killing intent!
Looking ahead, he saw a red figure that appeared and disappeared intermittently and transmitted his voice,
“Xiao Hongyi, Lin Feng caused a huge commotion in the Buddha Temple, injuring and crippling many monks! If you want to save Lin Feng, come to the main Buddha Temple. For now, I will throw this demonic monk into the Buddha’s Six Prisons.”
Lin Feng?
Hearing this name, Xiao Hongyi’s killing intent intensified.
She didn’t care about Lin Feng’s life or death.
It was just that, despite Jiang Chen’s repeated instructions, she couldn’t suppress her own killing intent after seeing Jiang Chen about to be captured.
It was within reason for Pu Jie to misunderstand.
After all, in his view, Xiao Hongyi’s purpose for being here could only be to save the Jiuyan Sect disciple Lin Feng.
Especially since there have been rumors recently that Xiao Hongyi had taken Lin Feng as a disciple.
“Hmph!”
With a cold snort, Xiao Hongyi disappeared.
This made Pu Jie breathe a sigh of relief.
He had sensed the change in Xiao Hongyi’s aura; her cultivation was definitely above his.
If a real fight broke out, he would not be her match!
“Come with me,” he said, looking at Jiang Chen and speaking again.
But just as he was about to make his move!
“Boom—!!”
The heavens and earth roared, and the wind and clouds surged.
Like that of the heavens, a majestic pressure suddenly came from a hundred miles away, almost crushing Pu Jie out of the sky!
“Divine Passage Realm?” Pu Jie exclaimed while looking a hundred li away.
Jiang Chen instantly understood that it must be his protector, Chen Sheng, who had taken action.
With Chen Sheng’s temperament, if Pu Jie dared to touch him today, he might just flip the Buddha Temple upside down.
Helplessly, he called out to the distance, “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
As his voice fell, the looming heavenly might finally began to recede.
Seeing Pu Jie looking as if he was facing a great enemy, Jiang Chen said directly,
“I think you should give up on capturing me. I will go with you willingly.”
Pu Jie didn’t respond and just swallowed hard.
The aura of the Divine Passage Realm had truly frightened him!
Although the Buddha Temple also had Divine Passage Realm powerhouses, a battle between cultivators of such a level could destroy half of the Buddha Temple with just the aftermath.
At this moment, Pu Jie was more convinced than ever that the demon monk named “Zhang Hu” before him must be from the Upper Domain.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such a powerful protector.
Pu Jie felt a bit uneasy.
But the leakage of the temple’s treasure scripture was a serious matter, and even if someone from the Upper Domain came, the Buddha Temple had to take a stand!
This was not about face but about touching the foundation of the sect!
“We can let this matter go if you are willing to reveal the origin of the treasure scripture and allow me to disable your cultivation technique!” Pu Jie said gravely.
To this, Jiang Chen shook his head and said, “I’ll give you two choices: send me to the Buddha’s Six Prisons, or I’ll break in myself!”
Pu Jie was speechless, looking at Jiang Chen as if he were looking at a fool.
He had never seen someone so eager to be imprisoned.
With the conversation reaching this point, there was no room for further discussion.
“The Six Prisons are some distance from here. I will envelop you in Buddha’s light and travel through the air. Do you understand?” Pu Jie said.
Though he was speaking to Jiang Chen, the message was actually for Chen Sheng.
Pu Jie’s intention was simple. I’m not planning to harm you, so don’t let your protector cause trouble.
In plain terms, he was a bit scared.
Understanding this, Jiang Chen nodded.
“If you change your mind and want to reveal the origin of the treasure scripture, just call out to me, then I will bring you out!” Pu Jie added.
Jiang Chen nodded again.
“This is your own choice to enter the Buddha’s Six Prisons. I didn’t force you,” Pu Jie continued.
Jiang Chen wanted to curse.
Indeed, even the accomplished monks of the Buddha Temple are just like ordinary people when they’re scared!
In the end, Jiang Chen was enveloped in Buddha’s light by Pu Jie and floated towards the direction of the Buddha Temple.
Seeing such a ‘demonic monk’ being taken away, the monks felt as if they had been pardoned, and the gathered monks and cultivators gradually dispersed.
Liu Wen, Liu Wu, and Xiaobai wanted to follow, but were stopped by Jiang Chen’s gaze.
Helplessly, the two men and the tiger had to temporarily return to the Buddha Cave to plan for the long term.
Moments later, the once bustling broken temple was left with only one burly figure.
This person was Mu Kui, who had inexplicably returned after leaving.
When Mu Kui returned, Jiang Chen had just shed his golden body and returned to his original form.
“Eldest Senior Brother… has become a monk?!”
It took him a full half-hour to exclaim in shock.
This didn’t make sense! That was Jiang Chen!
The notorious young master of the Jiang family, how could he just become a monk?
The point was that becoming a monk was one thing, but this was betraying the sect!
Mu Kui was angry.
He didn’t understand the big principles, but he knew the basic bottom line of being a person.
He could ignore Jiang Chen mocking him, bullying Lin Mubai, peeping at Jiang Lianyue, and even deceiving Qingning.
But he could never tolerate a betrayal of the sect!
At this moment, a strong disgust surged in his heart, and under his nearly connected thick eyebrows, his eyes were filled with blood.
Soon, his aura became violent, and it seemed as if blood was seeping out of his pores!
Just as he was about to fall into a frenzy, he felt a sharp pain in his sea of consciousness as if invaded by a foreign object.
<!-- Incontent 2 -->
“Ah!!!”
With unbearable pain, Mu Kui clutched his head and screamed to the sky.
Fortunately, the soul-tearing pain did not last long.
After a few screams, Mu Kui’s gaze became dull, and he stood there stupefied.
His consciousness plunged into darkness.
When the light drove away the darkness, he found himself standing above the Jiuyan Sect with golden characters floating in the sky.
【First World】
At the same time, at the base of the Second Peak of the Jiuyan Sect…
A dying man suddenly sat up in shock.
The Old Ancestor of Jiuyan, waking up from a suspended animation state, said in disbelief.
“No way? Again? My lifespan isn’t enough for this!”
