Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 719 Ruolin Feng Appears, the Emperor! (Second Update, 3.5K+ words)

[Special Reincarnator EX051: You have survived in this world for more than 24 hours, and have obtained a D-level Singularity*1]

As Bai Cangshu listened to the constant sounds of jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards in the mountains, a reward message suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Since they already knew that a timeline based on "Journey to the West" did exist in this world, Bai Cangshu and Si Jizhi did not rashly use their flying abilities to launch a blatant attack on the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty.

In the world of Journey to the West, regardless of the version, it is generally indicated that there are powerful beings who surpass their current resistance capabilities, and at the same time, various incredible magical treasures make people very wary.

Even a weak little demon, if given the right magic weapon, can pose a great threat to higher beings. This is a rather unique aspect of the Journey to the West worldview.

Both Silent Fate and White Cang Technique are arrogant and calm individuals. Both of them have entered the realm of "My Style" in martial arts and swordsmanship, having returned to simplicity and authenticity. Without using their abilities, they are no different from ordinary people.

Therefore, using ordinary means of transportation makes it very discreet.

Suddenly, the two stopped and looked in another direction, where a group of people were also hurrying through the mountains.

"Master, weren't we going to the capital? Why did we suddenly change our route?"

A handsome young monk, dressed in a gray robe and carrying a white cloth bag, followed behind an old monk whose eyebrows were already snow-white.

Although the old monk's skin was completely sagging, his eyes still held a glimmer of light. He kept fiddling with the prayer beads in his hands, chanting incantations. Hearing his disciple's words, he simply said...
"The seal on Lanruo City has malfunctioned, and I fear a great calamity is imminent. I must find a way to deliver those lost souls from suffering."

"Save the souls... Master, didn't you say that Heaven forbids the salvation of the dead?"

The old monk was about to explain when he was suddenly startled. He turned around and saw a man and a woman standing on a tree less than ten feet away from them. The two seemed to have no weight, and the crooked tree, which was less than an arm's thickness, showed no signs of breaking.

"what!"

At this moment, the young monk Shifang, who was following his master's gaze, also saw this scene and instinctively cried out in surprise, almost throwing the golden Buddha he was holding away.

Fortunately, Zen Master Baiyun reacted quickly and pressed down on the golden Buddha with one hand.

"Esteemed guests, we are unaware of..."

pat.

As Master Baiyun was speaking, he saw the man and the girl float down from the tree to the ground. Then, with one step, they walked several feet away like phantoms, and with another step, they were already right in front of him.

At this, the hunters who were following the two monks were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, retreating in alarm and exclaiming that they had encountered a monster.

Bai Cangshu's smile remained unchanged, his gaze subtly shifting away from the golden Buddha, which was most likely a magical artifact of considerable value.

"Masters, I apologize, but I overheard your disciple saying that Heaven does not allow the souls of the dead to be released. I would like to know the meaning of this statement?"

He didn't explain his own origins or the origins of the Deathly Silence, naturally exuding the air of a domineering superior.

Master Baiyun chanted a Buddhist prayer. Just by observing the "shrinking the earth to an inch" technique he had just used, he knew that the two people in front of him were no ordinary people.

Moreover, although the two concealed it well, he could sense the terrifying karma entangled on them like a ball of yarn.

These two... it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them living demons!
Although Zen Master Baiyun had already attained a golden body, in this situation, lacking spiritual nourishment, he was unable to transcend himself. Instead, he could only cast his golden body into a golden Buddha to exert external force.

He waved his hand, helped his disciple up, and indicated that the hunters were alright. He continued on his way while explaining.

"In this world, the souls of the dead cannot be saved; this is the way of Heaven. If you ask why, then this humble monk is unable to answer."

Bai Cangshu already had the answer in his heart. The convergence of these different worldviews must leave some traces. This rule that the dead cannot be released is probably related to the cycle of spiritual energy in the world below the Black Myth universe.

In the worldview of Black Myth, the entire world is like a giant cauldron. After the spiritual energy is generated, it is absorbed by various spiritual plants and beasts in the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas. Then, humans and demons each consume it. Demons eat humans, and finally, cultivators refine the great demons into pills.

The spiritual essence was ultimately obtained by the highest-ranking immortals and Buddhas;
The whole world is a food chain with strict hierarchy, and everything is orderly. All living beings have their own inherent qualities and are ranked in order of superiority or inferiority, so they cannot be messed with.

Humans and mountain spirits and wild beasts are all treated like livestock, used to raise demons. Demons are also raised in the world in another form, just waiting for the harvest to come and plunder them.

Under this order, the souls of the dead cannot be released at will; they must be waited for to transform into demons so that they can be used to make medicinal remedies.

Bai Cangshu looked up at the sky. This world was called the "Nine Realms." He wondered if this rule applied to all nine realms, or if the Dark Journey to the West worldview only affected this one world.

However, from this perspective, Bai Cangshu could also glimpse the vastness and terror of this world, which was incomparable to any secondary world.

This single layer of the world already encompasses the scale of several secondary worlds, and this is only a glimpse that Bai Cangshu, Si Jizhi Ming, and others have glimpsed.

According to Dong Xuri's intelligence, at least in this layer, he had also heard of a madman overseas who called himself "Moon Worshipper" and wanted to prove that the idea of ​​a flat earth and a round sky was just a myth, so he went to sea alone.

In other words, at the very least, this world still retains the world view of the Legend of Sword and Fairy, which means that the Heavenly Court, the Demon Realm, and so on still exist.

Who is the current emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty?

Suddenly, Seven Seven, the Fate of Death, spoke, her voice calm and cold. Monk Shifang instinctively spoke as well.

"Naturally, it is the new emperor Ruolin Feng, who has drawn a line between himself and the Yin Yue Dynasty."

It's as if this is something that should be taken for granted.

Qiqi still had doubts about whether Ruolin Feng was truly determined to go all the way down the path of enhancing the [Lord of Mysteries] type of magic potions.

One cycle ago, Ruolin Feng was just a Sequence 5 [Chaos Mentor], and that person was always cunning, and no one could guess what he was thinking.

If he hadn't ultimately betrayed and killed the entire team, I probably would still have thought of him as that nice guy.
Qi Qi's smile was faint, but the little monk Shi Fang felt a chill in his heart; he inexplicably sensed something terrifying.

Seeing this, Bai Cangshu also turned and left with Qiqi, once again giving up on the questline that was likely to be triggered.

Master Baiyun and Monk Shifang both come from the timeline of A Chinese Ghost Story. After Lanruo Ghost City disappeared, these two will likely seek out information related to Lanruo Temple. Bai Cangshu and Si Jizhiming turned and continued towards the capital. They must kill Ruolin Feng within seven days before considering anything else.

Bai Cangshu also felt a bit regretful. This world was too dangerous. Otherwise, he could have used the black mud to revive Bai Mian in advance and let her deal with these quest lines. He thought that guy must be very interested in digging into the complex background of this world.
-
The capital of the Great Qian Dynasty was located on a vast plain, and the entire complex of buildings could be seen from afar beyond the layers of mountains.

Meanwhile, standing atop the mountain, Bai Cangshu and Qiqi looked at the vast plain where the capital city was laid out in a distinctly irregular pattern, with even the city walls deliberately distorted.

Everything seems to be in line with the Black Emperor's ascension ceremony's goal of "establishing a set of strict and complex rules that violate normal circumstances." From the architectural style to the Taoist priests who exist everywhere in this world using Buddhist teachings to exorcise demons, Ruolin Feng has done a decent job.

Qiqi also saw a mausoleum under construction, located not far to the right of the imperial city, which was also a design that went against the norm.

She also began to wonder if Ruolin Feng had truly reached the point where he could consider advancing to Sequence 0 through the potion system.

The potion system in this mysterious world is quite weak for reincarnators in the early stages, but its advantages are also obvious, with an extremely fast advancement speed.

With the help of the space, they can use their knowledge of the [acting method] to quickly advance in the [cultivation center].

Even mental strength and willpower can be compensated for through other tools and abilities.

In other words, given sufficient resources, a reincarnator could potentially transform from an ordinary person into a demigod or even a higher-level superhuman in a very short period of time.

If someone as meticulous as Lin Feng were to betray the team after seizing its resources, he could indeed go to such lengths if he wanted to.

Thinking this way, Deathly Silence was beginning to believe that Ruolin Feng was a high-level saint in the Black Emperor sequence.

But Bai Cangshu, through his mental network perception, saw that the vast capital city was filled with laughter and joy, with various restaurants brightly lit and bustling with merchants coming and going.

This is completely different from the dilapidated state of Lanruo Ghost City and other towns I saw while passing through.

It was as if all the prosperity of the country had been concentrated in the capital.

On the city walls, the defenders were also wearing gleaming armor, and crossbows and other weapons were deployed in various corners of the walls.

This imperial city exudes a strong sense of "human presence," completely different from previous rumors.

With a thought, several dark spirits reappeared from Bai Cangshu's body. He intended to put the spirits inside to take a look, but unexpectedly, as soon as the spirits appeared, several beams of Buddhist light shone on the city wall.

"How dare you! This is the land of the imperial dragon vein, and the Yin ghosts dare to show themselves here!"

Amidst a righteous and awe-inspiring shout, white clouds gathered in the sky, and in the next moment, a gigantic Buddha appeared amidst a burst of Buddhist light.

A terrifying sense of oppression suddenly descended. Qi Qi and Bai Cangshu exchanged a glance, then with a twist of their bodies, they disappeared.

Bai Cangshu watched as the golden Buddha in the sky opened its eyes halfway and struck him with a palm from nearly ten thousand meters away.

He also clenched his fist, and the Qilin Armor appeared in an instant. He took a step forward and threw a punch from a distance.

boom!
The force transformed into a white smoke dragon that burst forth into the sky, but in mid-air, boundless Buddhist light shone forth, and Bai Cangshu felt as if his entire body was being pierced by countless thorns, and the force shattered in mid-air.

With a thought, he flew backward, his aura vanishing into nothingness once more.

Amidst the intense Buddhist light, Bai Cangshu was swept up by the shockwave and once again flew into the dense forest filled with miasma.

Boom!

Amidst the tremors of the mountain, neither jackals, tigers, leopards, nor demons roared, and the enormous Buddha statue in the sky slowly disappeared.

Bai Cangshu pulled himself out of a mountain. He deliberately did not use the Wuxiang Rebirth technique, relying on his own defense and energy dissipation skills to withstand the attack. He realized that the golden Buddha's attack was probably close to the [Fierce] level.

It is imposing, but there are no other special criteria.

The giant golden Buddha in the sky opened its eyes, seemingly surveying the surrounding mountains, but found no trace of Bai Cangshu.

Bai Cangshu patted his body, thinking that Deathly Fate should have already taken the opportunity to sneak past alone, and he only needed to wait a moment before entering the city from another direction.

He possesses an indescribable quality at this moment, and his fate-related abilities, including divination and prophecy, cannot detect any trace of him.

Therefore, even in this world, he can be considered as swift as the wind, difficult to track down.

Just as Bai Cangshu was about to take a step, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear.

"Qiqi really found a powerful companion."

"Tao Pai Pai... Even we Nirvana beings have heard of your name. Your name is being sung in many worlds~"

The man's voice was gentle, carrying an air of calm confidence.

Bai Cangshu turned around and, sure enough, saw a black-haired man in a dragon robe standing behind him. His body was shrouded in miasma, which made Bai Cangshu's mental network easily disturbed.

"Are you surprised? I am now the ruler of a country. You have set foot on my royal land. On this land, I can naturally do some special things."

Seemingly puzzled by Bai Cangshu's appearance, Ruo Linfeng deliberately offered an explanation.

He had indeed heard of Tao Pai Pai, but only of his cruel and ruthless reputation.

Bai Cangshu shook his head, his lips twitched and then slowly curved upwards.

"You've misunderstood. I was wondering what's wrong with these people lately. Why are they all so eager to jump in front of me..."

"This kind of behavior is dangerous, haha~"
