My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 306 Leaving the River, Returning to the Holy Land!
"stop."

Zeng Anmin held up his finger, looking speechlessly at Dongfang Cang:

"Ancestor, why do I feel like you've gone a bit mad?"

"Let alone how a fourth-rank cultivator like me could possibly withstand the onslaught of that barbarian god."

"Even if I could truly stop and defeat the brute god, then what?"

"Who can stop that Kunpeng? Can Master Xu really resist the urge to get a share of the spoils?"

"With such a chaotic scene, can you really protect me, a mere fourth-rank official?"

"There's no rush. Let's wait until I break through to the first rank and have the ability to protect myself."

Zeng Anmin stared intently at Dongfang Cang and said:

"So what you should be doing now is not thinking about the South China Sea Secret Realm, but helping me break through to the first rank with all your might!"

……

Dongfang Cang opened his mouth.

I found that Zeng Anmin's words made perfect sense.

"There's some truth to that."

Dongfang Cang thought for a moment, then sighed:

"Fine, since I can't take the necklace out myself, I'll just leave it with you for now."

"Come closer, let me tell you how to use this necklace and what its effects are."

Zeng Anmin's eyes lit up instantly.

He nodded hurriedly and went to Dongfang Cang's side to listen closely.

"This necklace is my treasure, but it actually involves a lot of people."

Dongfang Cang looked at Zeng Anmin solemnly and said:

"When I was just a novice monk in Buddhism, I personally witnessed the Bodhisattva Xuanshu using his own body as a seal to suppress a rebellious barbarian god under the dragon vein of the Holy Dynasty in order to save all living beings."

"and many more……"

Buddhism?

Zeng Anmin looked up at Dongfang Cang in astonishment:
"Are you a Buddhist?"

"To be precise, it is the ancient Buddhist sect."

Dongfang Cang sighed: "The decline of Buddhism today is inextricably linked to the fact that Bodhisattva Xuanshu is dedicated to saving all sentient beings."

"The origins of ancient Buddhism are too ancient and there are many different opinions. As the Bodhisattva Xuanshu used his body as a seal, it slowly disappeared into history."

"The Eastern religion I founded is, to be precise, derived from Buddhism."

"I was fortunate enough to hear the teachings of the Bodhisattva Xuanshu back then."

"Buddhism takes the suffering of all sentient beings as its practice."

"The most famous are the ascetic monks, who travel the world in cloth shoes and cloth clothes."

They believed that the suffering in the world is finite, and if Buddhist monks endure more suffering, the suffering of the rest of the world will be less.

"Don't laugh at me, but it was precisely because I couldn't endure so much hardship that I cleverly studied and created the system of Eastern religion."

He sighed;

"And this necklace was actually left by the Bodhisattva Xuanshu."

"There are a total of six ancient Buddha relics on the necklace."

"Actually, there were originally five beads. One of them was left by the Bodhisattva Xuanshu, so I strung that one on as well."

"The Void Necklace is named 'To the Buddha's Pure Land'."

……

Zeng Anmin felt a bit overwhelmed.

Guilty sin.

May Buddha have mercy.

He initially thought the necklace looked sinister and assumed it was some kind of evil treasure.

I never expected it to be a relic!

"Each relic represents a supernatural power."

"I have only glimpsed three supernatural powers: Heavenly Eye, Heavenly Foot, and Heavenly Power."

"You'll have to figure out the remaining three on your own."

"First is the Heavenly Eye Divine Power..."

Dongfang Cang explained the use of the necklace to Zeng Anmin little by little.

Zeng Anmin nodded thoughtfully.

…………

Time passed little by little.

Until the sun slowly set.

Zeng Anmin opened his eyes from the darkness.

"Amitabha."

He softly uttered four words.

With a thought, a necklace emitting a faint golden light appeared out of thin air in his hand.

On the necklace are six relics. Each one shines as brightly as the sun.

“The Void Necklace… From now on, I will call you the Void Relic.”

He murmured something, then gently squeezed the necklace, which transformed into shimmering points of light that traveled to his neck and became a faint tattoo.

"Whoo~"

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Eyes burning.

“Ancestor Dongfang, you personally promised me that I would use this necklace for another ten years.”

"I will never take back what I've said," Dongfang Cang said, looking at him with a hint of admiration.

"But you also need to work hard and break through to the first rank as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I'll do it as soon as possible."

Zeng Anmin nodded seriously: "At that time, I will deal with the first-rank Kunpeng, and you will block Xu Tianshi. With the two of us joining forces, we can go anywhere in the world and enjoy the pleasure of immortality!"

As he spoke, Dongfang Cang's breathing became labored.

"Hmm!" Dongfang Cang nodded heavily, then came to Zeng Anmin's side. He reached out and pinched Zeng Anmin's shoulder, then his leg, and then tried to pinch his penis.

But Zeng Anmin stopped him.

"Sorry, I only let women touch this thing."

Zeng Anmin looked at Dongfang Cang with a serious expression.

"roll!"

Dongfang Cang cursed at him: "I'm here to see if that Xu fellow has tampered with you."

"Huh?" Zeng Anmin looked blank for a moment.

"That old guy is cunning."

Dongfang Cang raised his eyelids and said:
"However, I just checked him out as well, and he was quite honest this time. It's clear that you are of great use to him."

"Otherwise, given his personality, how could he so easily give you such a big benefit without asking for something in return?"

"Alright, thank you, Ancestor."

Zeng Anmin was very serious.

"Hmm, do you still remember what the ancestor told you?" Dongfang Cang crossed his arms and looked at Zeng Anmin with a calm gaze.

"Remember, I will visit Fa'an Temple after I return to Beijing."

Zeng Anmin nodded solemnly.

He never expected that Dongfang Cang had a past relationship with the old abbot of Fa'an Temple in the capital of the Great Sage Dynasty.

Fa'an Temple... I wonder how little monk Yingchen is doing now?
Did Emperor Jianhong and Empress Bai acknowledge him?

"Yes, our ancestors have passed away. We'll have more opportunities to visit Jiang Kingdom in the future."

Dongfang Cang's figure slowly disappeared:

"I can see that this girl from Xiangnan really cares about you."

"I'll definitely come to visit my wife more often."

Zeng Anmin watched Dongfang Cang's figure slowly disappear and muttered something.

……

"Zeng Lang...are you alright?"

When the Empress saw Zeng Anmin emerge from the imperial study, a hint of worry flickered in her eyes. She looked at Zeng Anmin and asked:
"Did the ancestor make things difficult for you?"

"No," Zeng Anmin said, shrugging. "It's the ancestor who's in a difficult position."

"Huh?" The Empress was taken aback.

"He couldn't get this thing off me, so he said I could use it for now."

Zeng Anmin pointed to the necklace around his neck.

"Come and take a look."

The empress leaned closer out of curiosity.

"Well??"

Her eyes widened.

Before she could react any further, Zeng Anmin had already gone inside.

…………

Above officialdom.

Zeng Anmin rode forward on his horse, but his head was fixed on the capital city of Jiang Kingdom, Tokyo, and he remained lost in thought for a long time.

"Stop looking and let's go."

Bai Ziqing quickly turned Zeng Anmin's head back.

A hearty smile graced his face.

So many days, and you two have been all lovey-dovey every day!

"Come on, when we get to the Holy Dynasty, your brother will take you to have some fun and get you some even prettier girls!"

Zeng Anmin glanced at him:
"I've heard that Brother Bai's sister is known as the most beautiful woman in our Great Holy Dynasty?"

"Get lost! Don't even think about it!" Bai Ziqing glared at him fiercely.
