Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 117: The Insect Buddha

Adventurers are always curious.

The Ashina chapter is the opening chapter of the Miracle City Ten Kingdoms Chronicles.

It presents a wonderful world view to adventurers.

This country's history, plot, and characters are all so brilliant, and most of the plots and information need to be collected, pieced together, or even imagined by yourself.

Everyone can have a different interpretation, which undoubtedly fully mobilizes the adventurers' curiosity, sense of participation and involvement.

Want to know the history.

Eager to find out the truth.

This isn't just about satisfying personal curiosity.

It also has a huge impact on the subsequent adventures and plot!
The Blackstone Hammer King asked, "Master Traveler, why couldn't the Dragon's Homecoming Plan be implemented?"

"The reason why the Dragon's Return failed is because the conditions for its realization were too harsh!" Time Traveler sighed. "The most difficult part is that we must create another Dragon's Son."

When I heard this.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Can the Son of Dragon's Blood still create?
The Time Traveler explains:
"This fake son of the Dragon's Offspring was called the Son of God by the Immortal Peak Master."

"Only by becoming a Son of God can one become a vessel and thus transport the Dragon's Blood power from the body of the True Dragon's Blood Son of God."

"But how easy is it to create a child of transformation? The process is extremely cruel and requires a lot of human experiments."

"However."

"Perhaps Master Xianfeng's methods are too cruel."

"Or perhaps the Imperial Court, which ruled Ashina at the time, began to covet the power of the Dragon's Blood."

"Anyway, for some reason, Tomoe and Jo were forced to complete their plan to sever the Dragon's Blood as quickly as possible, and ultimately chose not to pursue the 'Dragon's Return' method."

"Master Xianfeng was the first to find the Immortal Slash and hid it in Xianfeng Temple."

"He attempted to prevent Tomoe and Jang from carrying out their plan to return to normal."

"But what Master Xianfeng didn't expect was..."

"There are two of these Undead Swords."

"Master Xianfeng hid one of the swords, but Ba finally found the other one."

"When Master Xianfeng learned that Ba had sacrificed himself in exchange for Zhang's return to normalcy, he was deeply disappointed and devastated... I have reason to believe that Master Xianfeng harbors deep feelings for Ba and Zhang, though I have no direct evidence for this speculation."

"After this."

"Master Xianfeng and Zhang buried Ba together."

"They left Ba's Undead Slash in the tomb."

"Although this matter has come to an end, Master Xianfeng clearly hasn't given up. He knows the Dragon's Blood Curse hasn't ended, so he continues his research."

"..."

"But I want to finish the research."

"Master Xianfeng faces two problems."

"First, Master Xianfeng was already old, and he was worried that he wouldn't have enough time to complete his research, so he transformed himself into the first insect possessor of Xianfeng Temple."

"Secondly, this research must be kept secret and strictly confidential. It must not be known to outsiders. Therefore, Master Xianfeng sealed off Mount Kongjin and developed secret medicines such as Yaksha Slaughtering Candy and Yueyin Candy to maintain the temple and research needs."

"From now on."

"This former Buddhist holy land has begun a bloody and insane experiment in immortality."

"In order to obtain more experimental materials, Master Xianfeng spent a large sum of money to hire a large number of Ranbashi. He used these ninjas to collect war orphans from all over the country, and even bought and sold stolen children."

"During this process, the entire Xianfeng Temple was swept by the worship of the insect-possessed and the craze for immortality."

"More and more elders are joining the ranks of the parasite possessors."

"Ordinary monks were also affected by the Transfiguration Water and became insane."

"..."

“Although it came at a huge cost, Master Xianfeng’s crazy experiment was ultimately successful. He truly created a being who could transform into a divine son!
"This is how Master Xianfeng and Xianfeng Temple fell from being a sacred Buddhist place to this state."

After listening to this story.

The adventurers fell silent.

Because this story is too shocking to them.

Nancy Liya sighed, "Ba's sacrifice to save the Son of God was admirable and touching, but although her husband successfully returned to normal, he died young a few years later. Although both of them escaped the curse of fate, it still ended in tragedy."

Mingyue Zhaoxue: "How do we evaluate Master Xianfeng?"

Feng Zhongmian: "There is no doubt that he is a genius and a devil!"

The flower demon Iris said, "Although he created the possibility of a perfect solution to Long Yin, he also caused the tragic deaths of countless children and the shattering of countless families. He is also the root cause of the corruption of the entire Xianfeng Temple. He is undoubtedly a great evil man who will do anything to achieve his goal!"

Lonely Swordsman: "I think he is evil but not bad."

Everyone joined in the discussion.

"Master Xianfeng turned himself into a parasite not because he was obsessed with immortality, but on the contrary, his lifelong wish was to completely sever immortality."

"Although his evil deeds are too numerous to list, he never indulged in extravagance, and his evil deeds were not motivated by personal gain or selfish desires."

"Perhaps in his eyes, sacrificing hundreds of children, including himself, was nothing."

"This land has been ravaged by the calamity brought about by the Dragon's Blood Curse. Generation after generation of Dragon's Blood Godchildren have become the object of contention among various factions, and even become the root cause of external invasions and wars in Ashina."

"Master Xianfeng bears the sins alone."

"But I want to cut off the root of all unrest."

"I've heard there's a saying in Buddhism in this world: 'If I don't go to hell, who will?' So, I think he's a true hero."

"..."

The stories and characters in this world are so wonderful.

Although there were different opinions among the adventurers, they were all increasingly attracted to the Ashina story, to the point of completely ignoring the fact that it was a created secret realm.

In everyone's opinion.

Ashina is full of details.

Fresh to the extreme.

This is the real world.

Adventurers are on an adventure that takes them to another world.

Higanbana worriedly said, "Ashina Genichirō attacked Senpoji Temple before us. Could he have already snatched the Transformation God Child away?"

"I don't think so!"

The Time Traveler said, "Only Master Xianfeng knows about the Dragon's Homecoming Plan. If the Son of God doesn't have the true power of the Dragon's Heritage, it would be useless even if Genichirō snatched him away."

Baihe Jushi nodded and said, "This Transformed Son of God is the result of the countless sins and sacrifices made by Xianfeng Shangren. He will not hand it over easily. Ashina Genichirō is most likely here for the Immortal Slash."

"Makes sense."

"After all, this Undead Slash is a weapon that can restrain him!"

"Even if the Undying Sword is taken away, it will be a big problem for us."

"..."

Higanbana quickly asked, "Where would the Son of God be?"

The Time Traveler said, "It seems the Immortal Peak Master created a fantasy world. He placed the Undying Slash and the Transformation into a Divine Son within it. As for how to enter this place, I'm afraid only the Immortal Peak Master knows."

"Time is running out!"

"Go find Master Xianfeng!"

"We are the Dragon's Heir servants, and we have come to sever the immortality once and for all. He shouldn't refuse!"

"Master Xianfeng is in seclusion in the forbidden area behind Xianfeng Temple."

"Boss Higanbana, it's up to you!"

"..."

"give it to me!"

Higanbana took action immediately.

Use the ninja prosthetic hand to climb walls and climb roofs.

He assassinated many monks, Ranbo people, and Jiying people along the way.

About half an hour later, the red spider lily broke into the forbidden area in the back mountain. Before officially entering the area, there was a ghost Buddha that could be activated.

This made the adventurers realize that there would be an important BOSS battle next!
now.

Inside the lord's mansion.

Qi Ji was also watching this BOSS battle behind the scenes.

He obviously made significant optimizations and modifications to the plot and some layouts of Xianfeng Temple.

For example, the next BOSS battle does not exist in the original "Sekiro". This is an original BOSS battle added by Qi Ji specifically for the Ashina chapter without affecting the main storyline.

The purpose is to strengthen character development.

Improve the storyline experience.

More epic!
Qi Ji deleted the puzzle-solving test of "Searching for Monkeys in a Fantasy Land", which not only added a lot of roles for Master Xianfeng, but also used this as a plot node to design him as the ultimate BOSS of Xianfeng Temple.

Although in the original work.

Master Xianfeng never showed any performance at all.

It is estimated that many people who have played the game may not know this character. Even if they know this character, they may not know who he is. They just think he is an ordinary old monk with little interaction and plot.

But it does not hinder production.

Every crystal of Qi Ji's inspiration.

There is not just material generated by the work itself.

This will include the entire series, official novels, official materials, other derivative works, and all important characters mentioned in the plot but not appearing.

therefore.

Qi Ji's material is much more than what the game content seems.

Let's put it this way, Qi Ji was not only able to design the Xianfeng Shangren, who had never appeared in the game, into a BOSS battle, he could even release "Ba" and "Zhang", who had never appeared before.

Although "Tomoe" and "Takeru" have never appeared in the main game or official spin-offs, these two characters are definitively proven to exist and have a significant impact on the main storyline.

They are an important part of the worldview.

In this case, it will also enter Qi Ji's material library.

Therefore, as long as Qi Ji is willing, he can create them, but in order to ensure the normality and logic of the plot of the Ashina chapter, it is not the right time now.

In the future, Qi Ji will relax the plot synchronization value requirements.

Theoretically speaking, using the Undead Slash to open the door and offer enough sacrifices can also bring the dead Ba or Zhang back to the human world, which is completely in line with the plot and world view logic.

of course.

That’s all for the future.

Qi Ji will definitely not relax the restrictions on plot synchronization now.

This kind of thing should at least wait until most adventurers have experienced the main storyline.

In addition, even if Qi Ji wanted to relax the plot restrictions, he would not do so for everyone, so as to prevent the official plot of the dungeon from being completely messed up.

He would consider the freedom to explore secret places and rewrite history as a benefit.

Only adventurers with outstanding performance and contributions can obtain privileges.

They will enter the secret realm on behalf of all adventurers, and have the ability to rewrite the plot and change the fate of the characters to make up for the regrets, but the plot after these changes is definitely not considered the official main line.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

The red spider lily activated the ghost Buddha.

Entered the forbidden area behind the Xianfeng Temple.

Qi Ji was designing the battlefield for this BOOS.

He combined elements of the Leshan Giant Buddha and the four major grottoes.

This place is called Thousand Buddha Valley.

As the name suggests, it is a small valley.

A giant seated Buddha about thirty to forty meters high is located in front.

The surrounding mountain walls are dotted with Buddhist caves of various sizes, each of which contains stone carvings of Buddha in various shapes and lifelike forms. The Buddhas surround a lotus pond.

The lotus pond, the Thousand Buddha Valley, and the distant mountains with strange peaks and red forests together create a sense of hierarchy and a unique Zen feeling.

not difficult to see.

This was once a majestic and beautiful place of worship.

At this moment, the lotus pond had already dried up and was covered with all kinds of disgusting mucus, insect eggs, and insect shells.

The Buddha statues of all sizes in this Thousand Buddha Valley are also covered with insect silk and are unrecognizable. Some of the Buddha statues are already broken and their bodies are full of insect pupae and centipedes, symbolizing that the Buddha nature has been eroded by insect nature.

There is no longer any sense of sacredness.

Instead, it gives people an extremely depressing and distorted feeling.

Before Higanbana could be shocked by the scene before her, she saw an old man sitting in the center of the lotus pond. This man must be the immortal peak master she was looking for.
From the outside.

There is no difference between the monk on Xianfeng Mountain and a skeleton.

His shriveled crimson skin was tightly clung to his bones, and his eyes were like two black holes, revealing the movement of worms within his body.

The red spider lily had mixed feelings when facing the old monk in front of her who had lived for at least one or two hundred years.

This person can indeed be considered to be completely heartless, but if one wants to advance the plot, whether it is to obtain the Undying Slash or to realize the Dragon's Return, he is an important figure that cannot be avoided.

"Greetings to Master Xianfeng!"

Higanbana said directly: "I am here on the orders of the Dragon's Son to claim the Undying Slash!"

Hear this.

The monk Xianfeng who was originally meditating.

He suddenly raised his head, and saw two scarlet rays of light suddenly flashing in his empty eyes, and a dry and sad voice squeezed out of his throat.

"Buddha saves all living beings...why does he leave me to perish alone?"

"what?"

The red spider lily was stunned for a moment.

[You have unlocked the character illustration: "The First Insect Possessed: Master Xianfeng"!]

"The Eightfold Path becomes the Eightfold Path of Suffering, and the contemplation of bones becomes the contemplation of immortality"

The Immortal Peak Master sighed.

He suddenly waved his hand, and three Buddhist beads flew towards the three vital points on the red spider lily's body at a speed faster than bullets.

"not good!"

"Boss Higanbana, be careful!"

"This guy might have lost his mind!"

Higanbana was naturally prepared and waved the wedge ball to resist immediately, accurately deflecting the three Buddhist beads.

At this time, Master Xianfeng had already stood up from the lotus pond, holding a rusty Zen staff in his right hand and swung it towards the enemy.

The Zen stick flew out of his hand. If you look closely, you will find that it is connected by a large number of silk threads and smashes towards the red spider lily.

Higanbana quickly dodged the heavy blow.

She attacked immediately without waiting for Master Xianfeng to retract his staff.

Dang Dang Dang!
Six centipedes were released from behind the Master Xianfeng. They could quickly wrap around his body to form insect armor and insect shields, thus easily blocking the attack of Xiewan.

Not only that.

The attack of the red spider lily paused for a moment.

The six centipedes transformed into six insect arms, launching rapid combos from all directions.

Dangdangdang!

Higanbana kept bouncing back, and the wedge pill collided with the poison hook mandible, and even she quickly fell into a passive position.

"This guy is so strong!"

When Higanbana faced the Immortal Peak Master who had six insect arms, she found that she had no chance to fight back at all.

Six insect arms.

Evolution can attack or defend.

The Immortal Peak Master also has other attack methods such as launching Buddhist beads and hitting with Zen staff, which put her in a very passive situation.

When the red spider lily was accidentally injured by the poisonous fangs.

The first round of challenges quickly failed.

Exit the secret realm.

The flower of the other shore said in a deep voice:

"It's not easy to fight. A second-level three-star warrior is already quite powerful, and his moves are extremely strange and hard to defend against!"

Baihe Jushi suggested: "Its attack frequency is very high, and its desire to attack is also extremely strong. I suggest you don't be greedy with your sword. It's best to focus on defense and use stillness to control movement."

try again!
Higanbana re-entered the secret realm and challenged Master Xianfeng once again, but this time Higanbana adjusted its tactics.

She gave up on active attacking and focused on defense most of the time, just to better test the attack strength of Master Xianfeng.

The red spider lily soon discovered it.

Although the Master of Xianfeng is weird, he doesn't have many means of attack, only shooting Buddhist beads, attacking with a Zen staff, and combo attacks with insect arms.

The most dangerous thing is the insect arm combo. The six insect arms will attack twelve times in a row. You must block them continuously and the speed is very fast.

Only by blocking all twelve attacks will you have a chance to counterattack once or twice.

However, if ten perfect parries are triggered during this process, the opponent can be knocked back and paralyzed.

Although the difficulty is very high.

But it’s nothing to the red spider lily.

After all, no matter how low the disaster and fault tolerance rate are, it will not be more exaggerated than the prologue battle with Genichirō!

Adapted to several rounds.

The red spider lily has already mastered the rhythm!
Dang Dang Dang Dang!
Six insect arms attack crazily!

Higanbana defends accurately every time.

When the tenth attack was carried out, Master Xianfeng was knocked back several steps, and the insect arm had no time to defend himself.

Higanbana immediately attacked with several knives.

The Immortal Peak Master retreated step by step, and soon a red light appeared, indicating a flaw. The red spider lily immediately stabbed deeply into the vital point with a knife.

Then a corner.

Throw the opponent away.

Cat Mengmeng: "Success?!"

"It's not that simple!"

Baihe Jushi said in a deep voice: "Master Xianfeng is a parasite. How can we kill him with just this kind of attack?"

Unsurprisingly.

Master Xianfeng stood up again.

His appearance changed, and his monk robe was quickly torn apart. Dense insects emerged from under his skin and wrapped around his body. A large number of flying insects and insect silk were weaving behind him, like a strange "Buddha's Light Wheel".

"Buddha can save people from adversity, and insects can also save people from adversity!"

"If Buddha won't save me... then I'll make a bug my Buddha!!"

this moment.

The insect nature completely overwhelms the Buddha nature.

The strength of Master Xianfeng has been greatly enhanced.

[You have unlocked the character illustration: "The Insect-Attached Buddha: Xianfeng Shangren"! ]

The second form of BOSS appears.

If the first form of the Immortal Peak Master is a second-level three-star, the second form of the Immortal Peak Master is not only more bizarre, but also has the strength of a second-level five-star.
