The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 562 The Elixir of Life
The palm flowing with golden light was like an inverted Mount Sumeru, pressing down on the restless Longevity Coffin and suppressing all the terrifying corpse qi.

The Buddha's light shines everywhere and the Buddhist sounds fill the sky.

Zhang Jiuyang's pupils turned golden and he uttered mysterious words, which were the Great Brahma Zen Sounds from one of the 72 unique skills, which had the magical effect of eliminating evil and saving all living beings.

The golden body and the Sanskrit sound moved together, and the Longevity Coffin finally gradually returned to calm. The red hair on the woman's body in the coffin also shrank back into her body at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she lay there without any movement.

As the golden light faded, Zhang Jiuyang's skin color quickly returned to normal, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

He let out a long sigh and took a deep look at the beautiful woman lying in the coffin.

Who is she?

The terrifying aura just now had already approached the level of the seventh realm. If he had not activated the Immortal Golden Body in time, and had not used the Buddhist Dharma Sound of Brahma, which was specifically used to suppress the evil spirits of corpses, he might not have been able to suppress it so quickly.

Even so, 40% of his magic power has been consumed at this moment.

Although the Immortal Golden Body can compete with the Seventh Realm, it also consumes a lot of mana. With Zhang Jiuyang's current cultivation at the peak of the Fifth Realm, he can only last for a moment if he exerts his full strength.

He secretly made up his mind that he must practice hard and quickly enter the sixth realm!
"Luckily you're here……"

The Moon Goddess said with lingering fear, she knew very well how terrifying the woman lying in the coffin was.

"What on earth is going on? Why did Princess Yuzhen become a zombie?"

Zhang Jiuyang quietly looked at Princess Yuzhen lying in the coffin. She looked like she was asleep, quiet, elegant, and noble, like a jade sculpture.

It is hard to imagine that within the body of such a fairy-like beauty, there is a murderous aura comparable to that of a thousand-year-old corpse king.

"This matter is a royal secret. I spent a lot of effort to find out the whole story. If Master Zhang wants to know..."

The Moon Goddess stretched out a finger and frivolously tapped Zhang Jiuyang's chest. Just as she was about to say something, she saw a flash of lightning, and then her fingertips felt numb, like being pricked by a needle.

She quickly retracted her finger and held it lightly in her mouth. Her beautiful eyes were full of resentment and she looked pitiful. Although she didn't say a word, she was very charming.

"I thought we were friends."

Zhang Jiuyang looked at her coldly and said, "Do you still want to save that old fox?"

The Moon Goddess was startled when she heard this, and then said seriously: "Of course!"

"Last time I told you that if you do three things for me, I will rescue that old fox from hell. The first thing is for you to give me the news about Jing Ye Si. Now I want you to do the second thing."

Zhang Jiuyang pointed at Princess Yuzhen in the coffin of immortality and said calmly, "Tell me everything about her."

This trip to the palace was extremely confusing, but he had a vague feeling that perhaps Princess Yuzhen lying in the coffin was the key to everything.

And for some reason, when he saw Princess Yuzhen, he felt a sense of déjà vu.

Yet he was quite sure that he had never seen her.

This time, the Moon Goddess told everything she knew without hesitation.

"I wonder if Master Zhang has ever heard of Empress Zhao Yuan?"

Zhang Jiuyang nodded and said, "I've heard of her. She was a virtuous empress during the time of the previous emperor. The history books say she was dignified and elegant, with a strong character and extraordinary intelligence. She was highly valued by the previous emperor, but unfortunately, she died of complications during childbirth when giving birth to Princess Yuzhen."

The virtuous reputation of Empress Zhaoyuan is still widely circulated today, and she is regarded as a role model by women all over the world, almost equivalent to Empress Changsun of the Tang Dynasty in China.

It is said that when the late emperor was competing for the throne, Empress Zhaoyuan made a considerable contribution. The late emperor said that she was as decisive as a general in making decisions on the spot.

"But what the world doesn't know is that Empress Zhao Yuan is not actually from this world."

Hearing this, Zhang Jiuyang was shocked.

Not from this world... Could it be that Queen Zhao Yuan is a time traveler from Earth like him?
However, the Moon Goddess pointed to the sky and whispered, "Empress Zhao Yuan is from the Immortal Court of the Upper Realm."

"This is a very mysterious thing. I couldn't believe it when I first found out about it. It was not until I collected evidence from many sources and even tested the emperor that I was finally convinced." "It is said that one night a strange star fell from the sky and landed on the top of Mount Taixuan. The people from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory observed the celestial phenomena at night and reported the changes in the stars to the late emperor. He then went to Mount Taixuan with Zhuge Yunhu, and that is where he met Empress Zhaoyuan."

Zhang Jiuyang seemed to be thinking about something. It turned out to be at the Tianmen Terrace of his Longhu Mountain?

It is said that it is the closest place to the fairyland. Could it be just a legend?

"Empress Zhaoyuan is an extraordinary woman. She knows everything from astronomy to geography, and has unique insights into many things. More importantly, although she has no cultivation, she has an ability that makes countless people envy and go crazy for her."

"What ability?"

Talking about that ability, even the Moon God in the sixth realm had a glimmer of yearning in his eyes, and he slowly uttered four words.

"Immortality."

Zhang Jiuyang's pupils condensed.

Immortality is a power that can only be obtained at the ninth level in the legend, and it is a symbol of becoming an immortal.

No wonder the Moon Goddess said that she was from the upper realm.

"Empress Zhaoyuan married the late emperor, but as time passed, the late emperor became older, while she remained young and beautiful, as if time had stopped on her."

"In order to conceal this, she would put on makeup and pretend to be older. This was confirmed by an elderly madam."

"But Empress Zhaoyuan has always had a concern, and that is that she has no offspring."

"The late emperor sent people to search the whole world and finally found a method to pray for a child. The method was very useful and soon Empress Zhaoyuan became pregnant."

"It is said that she dreamed of a bright moon in her arms, and said that the child she would give birth to in the future would be a divine creation, extraordinary."

"But unfortunately, she died in childbirth and gave birth to a daughter. Otherwise, how could the throne have passed to that fat guy?"

At this point, the Moon Goddess shook her head and sighed: "You said immortality is not good, but you have to give birth to a child. If she didn't give birth, she should still be alive and well now."

Giving birth often consumes a lot of the mother's energy.

Zhang Jiuyang looked at the young and beautiful face of Princess Yuzhen, and thought that Queen Zhaoyuan must have passed on her ability to live forever to her, otherwise she would not have died.

"Then why is Princess Yuzhen lying here like a zombie?"

The Moon Goddess sneered when she heard this question and said, "No man is good, especially the emperor."

Zhang Jiuyang glanced at her.

"Of course, except for Master Zhang."

She smiled sweetly, and then continued: "No wonder you humans are much more cruel than monsters. After Princess Yuzhen was born, her physique was different from that of an ordinary person, just like her mother. She has extremely strong vitality. Even if an arm is cut off, it can grow back..."

"Later, the old emperor used the essence of Sizhu's flesh and blood to brew the Immortal Brew. However, he did not drink it himself first. Instead, he asked others to test the poison first. As a result, everyone who drank it died suddenly without exception."

"The old emperor was already very old, and he was unwilling to die like this. In order to find out how to take the Immortal Brew, he did something."

Zhang Jiuyang's face darkened, and he had already guessed what it was.

The Moon Goddess's face was full of sarcasm, and she said, "That means Princess Yuzhen drank the poisonous Immortal Wine."

"She has a special physique. Although she was in extreme pain, she was able to survive it. The old emperor discovered that after she digested the toxin in the immortal wine, the medicinal properties that remained in her blood..."

"It is the elixir of life he has always dreamed of."
