823 Monastery (1/2)

Capital of Ye.

Although the country of Ye was small, its capital was constructed rather majestically.

Presently, the markets were desolate, and the pedestrians were malnourished and living in fear, giving off the impression of a doomsday scene.

According to that tiger, a Heaven Immortal centipede demon has bewitched the King of Ye to become obsessed over cultivation. He didn't even hesitate to prey on virgin children to refine the Seven Orifices Exquisite Pill…

Fang Yuan was walking along the streets while dressed as a scholar.

The markets that were originally bustling with noise had few pedestrians now. Nevertheless, from time to time, there were soldiers on horses passing by, giving off a sense of chaos.

The King of Ye is tyrannical. On top of that, there are natural calamities and man-made disasters. Thus, it's understandable that the country is in complete disorder. As for that centipede demon, it's really quite fortunate…

With strength comparable to a Heaven Immortal, it would be among the top in the 72 sects and was not just some average demon.

It was probably because the neighboring Gods and Immortals were unable to take it down that the centipede demon was able to get away scot-free.

Furthermore, it knew its limits and only harmed this remote and insignificant small country. It was difficult for the Heavenly Court to pay attention to it, or have the energy to care, even if it took notice of the situation.

After all, the escape of the Demon Gods and the chaos across the world were more important matters for the Heavenly Court.

Comparatively, a mere centipede was indeed nothing much.

”Sambhogakaya Monastery?”

Fang Yuan walked along the streets for half a day and arrived at a grand monastery.

The monastery was constructed with red bricks and golden roof tiles. The corners of the building were glazed, and the walls were decorated with gold leaves. The architecture was grand and extremely extravagant.

A gust of strong sandalwood scent assaulted the senses by merely standing outside the huge mahogany door. In the plaza in front of the main hall, there was red sandalwood burning inside a large copper furnace.

Despite some of them appearing malnourished and sickly with emaciated bodies, there were still countless believers contributing gold, silver, and rice.

In contrast to the believers, the monks inside the monastery were all plump and well-fed, having glowing faces.

”The name, Sambhogakaya, was actually very particularly chosen…”

Fang Yuan was in deep thought.

There were the Three Bodies of Buddha in Buddhism and the Three Pure Ones in Daoism, all of whom had exceedingly great magical powers.

It was audacious of the centipede to choose this as its monastery'sfor visiting.

As they stared at Gongsun Kunlun, fear showed in their eyes. ”Our patriarch has gone to give a sermon for the king. By now, he should have received the news and will soon return.”

”I'm waiting for him to return to dispose of all of you together!”

Gongsun Kunlun laughed heartily. For the first time, he tore off the cloth bag on his back and unveiled a sword case.

Vzzzzt!

Multiple streaks of sharp Sword Qi pierced toward the sky in a towering rage.

The sound of the sword was so astonishing, it was as though a dragon's roar spread across the high heavens.

Impressively, Gongsun Kunlun was a sword cultivator!

Just from looking at the unusual phenomenon from his sword case, it could be seen that his intrinsic spiritual sword had to be exceptionally terrifying.

”In my whole life of cultivation, I have refined seven swords which specialize in chopping down wrongdoings!”

Gongsun Kunlun seemingly sighed. ”Dubhe Sword, unsheathe!”

Swoosh!

A streak of radiant light shot out from the sword case. In a split second, it broke through the golden pagoda's defense and impaled the two demons.
