Chapter 90 Moonlight Buddha (2/2)

The demons who shapeshifted this way had low potential and had lost all chance at becoming a demon king.

Mister Hai had a lot of concubines throughout the years, which was why their deaths did not affect him. To him, even though the female demonic snake was fresh, he could forsake her in a heartbeat.

Qing Xuan did not have the tradition of keeping soldiers. The books and texts that Shen Lian had been reading could not possibly record every little detail about the cultivation community. This was why he did not know that demons could shapeshift through external help besides shapeshifting through their own effort.

The Nine-Headed King looked serious. Mister Hai had strong supernatural power and endless mana, for him to ask for a favor would mean that it was a serious matter.

Both of them did not have a close relationship, the Nine-Headed King was already thinking of a way to reject him without hurting their harmonious relationship.

”Brother, just tell me what you need,” he continued without pause in spite of the ongoing consideration in his mind.

”You dumb*sses, didn't you see that I am talking about something serious? Get out of here, all of you!” he yelled at the female demons and demon soldiers.

His means were rough and the sound waves followed. Within seconds, all of the demon soldiers and female demons were out of the hall, yet the hall did not look messed up at all. The skillful manner in which he exercised his mana was an impressive feat.

Mister Hai wore the expression of admiration on his face. ”Brother Nine, your mana is getting more refined and powerful. In no time, there will be another 'Great Saint' in this world,” he said.

The most powerful demons and monsters in this world would be known as the 'Great Saint', and he would be a powerful being who did not need to bow to even the Daoist masters and Buddha.

The Nine-Headed King thought, 'The greater the compliments, the more difficult the favor is. If you insist on me helping, I would lose a lot this time around.'

The two of them exchanged some niceties before Mister Hai finally asked, ”Brother Nine, have you heard of the country, Yuetuo?” He knew that the Nine-Headed Demon King was not just anyone and he could not fool him around.

”Of course, five thousand years ago, there was a Buddha who transcended left behind an orthodoxy - the Jinguang Temple. Even now, there is a Monk Baoyue who is said to be quite powerful. Even the Eagle King who flew in the sky is in his hands now.”

”Brother Nine, you are right. But I bet you didn't know that the Moonlight Buddha attained enlightenment through the help of a Buddhist relic. Through that, he understood the path and meaning of Buddhism. After attaining enlightenment, the relic was not of much use anymore and was left behind in Jinguang Temple. I want to get my hands on the relic and hope that it could help me breakthrough, but Baoyue is not an easy person to deal with and I need your help. If we managed to get our hands on the relic, we could discuss and study about it together.”

Mister Hai detailed the secret news casually. Then, he looked down to reach for his wine glass while waiting for the Nine-Headed Demon King to reply.

The Nine-Headed Demon King did not believe in everything that Mister Hai said, but doubtlessly, there was something strange with the way the Moonlight Buddha attained enlightenment. This would explain why the Jinguang Temple was guarded by generations of powerful monks.

Buddhism was powerful and was not below Xuanmen, but it was hard to follow and to trace. Unlike authentic Xuanmen, the Daoist master could open up the nine states and could walk up the staircase to heaven step by step.

This was why the Daoists thought themselves to be authentic and brushed off Buddhism.

However, Buddhism was rooted in the mortal realm and did not reject anyone. This was why in every generation, there would be monks who were enlightened and their power and influence were comparable to that of Daoism, if not more.鲲鹏 － Read as 'kun' 'peng'.
