With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 376 The Fallen Great Sage: We Too Are Heavenly Demons!

The Great Sage of the Dragon showed no respect for immortals or Buddhas, truly living up to the long-standing tradition of the Four Directions Alliance.
Disrespectful to gods! Disrespectful to Buddha!
Moreover, Meng Chuan vaguely sensed its strength and that it had the capital to be "disrespectful".

The power of the Seventh Limit Great Sage is probably even greater than he imagined.

Even if those immortals and Buddhas "come back to life," they probably wouldn't be able to do anything to the old Taoist.

"Senior, what are these human-like creatures?"

"The Demonic Path".

With just two words, Meng Chuan understood completely.

The old Taoist stroked his beard and said:

“These things were bewitched long ago and are among the most deeply possessed by evil. They cannot speak human language, behave madly, and are no longer human. There is no need to hesitate to take action against them.”

Meng Chuanshen agreed with the idea of ​​crocodile-men eating their own kind.

He's really gone mad, completely insane.
"Such as the demonic forces in the human world, like the Demon Summoning Palace, they will eventually reach this point."

This was a major reason why the Great Chu Dynasty treated him so decisively.

"I understand. These hidden demons are incredibly powerful, and we humans are probably no match for them at present."

If these scoundrels steal our faith and their power increases, when they are reborn, humanity will have even less chance of winning.

"Yes, he is a promising young man."

Meng Chuan had figured everything out in his mind. First, Brahma was invaded by an unknown demon, which led to his destruction and the theft of his faith.

These crocodile-men are in the middle, acting as the executors of the transformation.

Through some kind of demonic means, they stole the power of faith from Brahma, which is similar to spiritual power.

Finally, through the "offering thanks to the gods" process depicted in the mural, this spiritual power is transferred to the demon behind the scenes.

But there was one thing: he clearly saw Brahma.

He doesn't seem to be dead yet.
The old Taoist stretched, knowing what Meng Chuan was thinking:
“Brahma had not yet completely perished at that time, which is why I asked you before what your relationship with Him was.”

In you, I see the cause and effect between you, and it is this bond of kinship that has allowed Him to continue to exist until now.

Meng Chuan nodded.

"However, He has now died and vanished in order to protect you."

Meng Chuan recalled the lotus bud that had resisted the black mist, and his feelings were complicated.

This lotus bud is probably the final manifestation of Brahma. Alas.
Why was it that, as his mastery of the Duomo Hard Technique progressed, the consciousness surrounding him grew weaker and weaker until it disappeared?

This must be a harbinger of Brahma's impending doom.
The old Taoist priest seemed to have thought of something and burst into laughter:

"This is why He instinctively lingered on for a moment longer, but gave you all of His last spiritual strength."

He saw in you a chance for resurrection.

This was something that Brahma had already told him, and Meng Chuan knew about it.

"Senior, how can I help Him be resurrected?"

The old Taoist priest was still smiling.

"Hehe, this is going to be tough."

Meng Chuanzheng said seriously:
"I hope the senior can teach me."

He treated himself with sincerity, and if he could help him be resurrected, Meng Chuan was willing to give it a try.

Brahma didn't tell him explicitly at the time, probably because he didn't want to put too much pressure on him.

"You should know about the origins of Brahma, so I won't go into details."

The accumulation of incense offerings over thousands of years is something you can't achieve.

If you wish to help him be resurrected, the only path is through [divine intervention and enlightenment].

Meng Chuan suddenly froze:

It's that one.

"Martial arts and combat skills can lead to spiritual enlightenment. With the blessing of supreme truth and fortune, it may be possible to reshape his golden body."

However, this is also the universally acknowledged ultimate goal of martial arts in the Great Chu. You are both a martial god and a deity worshipped by all gods; with your fists and feet, you can determine the life and death of deities.

"The Eighth Limit."

"I don't know, you'll have to ask Zhao Linyuan. I'm far from qualified."

Is Zhao Dasheng about to break through the eighth major limit?

"do not know."

The Great Sage of the Dragon was quite calm.

"clear."

It's at least having a goal, even though it seems like it's a long way off.
"Alright, you don't need to think so much. Stop asking so many questions now."

"Let me finish explaining the matter of the temple. It's the rule, and I must do it."

Meng Chuan nodded in agreement. Although he still had many questions in his mind, he could only suppress them for the time being.

"The temple, apart from what the discoverer can obtain, is the residual power left behind by the departed gods."

The martial artist, whose essence, energy, and spirit undergo a transformation upon reaching the top of the head, breaking through the limitations of heaven and earth, can later enter the Heavenly Demon Realm through the Demon Nest Temple.

I can enter the Heavenly Demon Realm through the Demon Nest Node, but those who are not subject to the Seven Limits cannot pass through; this is also a limitation imposed by the rules of Heaven and Earth.

The existence of the temple effectively lowers the requirements for entering the Heavenly Demon Realm, allowing martial arts masters of the fourth level or above to enter.

This is also the most important strategic significance of the temple to our great Chu.

We humans cannot remain passive and vulnerable forever. The era of Qi and Blood Martial Arts has greatly accelerated the development of martial arts.

When the people of our Great Chu are as numerous as dragons, with grandmasters constantly emerging and even supreme leaders appearing, that day will be the day when we humans sound the horn of counterattack against the Heavenly Demon Realm.

At that time, the temple will be like a teleportation array for us, and we will be the invading demons.

After the old Taoist finished speaking, he sat down to the side and said nothing more.

The sheer volume of information left Meng Chuanxin somewhat stunned.

The Taoist's words completely and directly revealed a hidden corner of the world to him. Meng Chuan sat on the stone bench, unable to calm down for a long time.

The old Taoist priest wasn't in a hurry and continued to enjoy his drink.

A moment later, Meng Chuan quickly came to his senses and was about to thank the other party when he heard the other party wave his hand and say:

"Alright, this is what the discoverer of the temple can know. If the temple is not discovered, only the Grandmaster can know its secrets."

This matter is very serious; remember to get a confidentiality agreement signed with Sui Chunqiu when you get back.

For other miscellaneous matters, you can ask him yourself.

"Thank you, senior. I understand the importance of this matter."

The matter of the temple can be said to concern the "millennial plan" of the Great Chu.

Meng Chuanxin knew perfectly well how important it was.

"Alright, I happen to be going that way anyway, I'll take you straight back to Fengtian."

Before he could express his gratitude, a massive, azure-blue dragon claw with nine joints gripped Meng Chuan's body.

The next instant, the Taoist transformed into a divine dragon and soared into the sky, making Meng Chuan feel as if the world had turned upside down.

In a fleeting glance, he saw the temporary military camp set up at the entrance of Huangsha 011.

In the blink of an eye, the Divine Dragon Taoist traversed tens of thousands of kilometers, bringing him out from the depths of the Demon's Nest.

Then it continued to fly into the distance, accompanied by wind and clouds.

In his eyes, everything in the world shrank to a thin black line, and he could see nothing at all.

A moment later, the Taoist's voice came from above his head:

"Young friend, we'll meet again someday."

The dragon released its claws and then rose straight into the sky, leaving Meng Chuan alone to land freely in mid-air.

Looking down, Meng Chuan could see the outline of the massive Fengtian campus.

"."

A few hundred meters is no problem for someone to be a paratrooper.
An open space on the main campus of the Northern Associated University.

"You're back pretty quickly. Did you see that person?"

Sui Chunqiu was practicing his martial arts when he sensed the immense aura of the Divine Dragon Daoist sweeping over his head.

They went out to investigate and saw a person falling from the sky.

Meng Chuan nodded wearily.

He had been fighting inside the Demon Nest, and with the final bombshell about the temple, he was now quite exhausted.

Sui Chunqiu looked him up and down, sensing Meng Chuan's transformation, and nodded:

"Go to the school hotel and rest first. Come to my office early tomorrow morning."

Since you happened to meet the Great Sage Dragon, he should have told you the general outline of the temple. I'll explain the rest to you in detail tomorrow.

"Okay, Principal, I'll go and rest now."

Meng Chuan was indeed exhausted, so he took his leave and departed first.

Inside the hotel.

Meng Chuan lay in bed when he remembered that his phone was still in the military camp.
Master told him to come out of the demon's lair and make a phone call.

Meng Chuan then dialed the number using the hotel's phone.

[Master, this is Meng Chuan. Something went wrong; I left my phone outside the Demon Nest. This is the landline at the school hotel.]

The landlines at the United Nations University are all encrypted and cannot be recorded or eavesdropped on. Apart from the matter of "planting demons in the heart of the Dao", we can talk freely about anything else.

On the other end of the phone, Luo Guanyun recognized the voice immediately and chuckled:

[What an accident! You forgot your phone, your memory is so bad. Looks like the trip to the Demon Nest was too tiring.]

Master, let me explain in reverse: I couldn't take my phone back because the Great Sage Dragon returned it to me.

【The Great Sage Equal to Heaven? Uh... please continue.】

Luo Guanyun had a premonition that his apprentice's experience was likely to be quite exciting.
Ten minutes later, Luo Guanyun was completely numb.

This is absolutely amazing!
He took a moment to process it before slowly speaking:
My master only learned about the temple after he had advanced to the Grandmaster level and participated in the Grandmaster Assembly in Yong'an City.

You don't need to feel too much pressure; it's not your place to worry about these things.

Meng Chuan nodded and said:
"I understand, Master. Now that this temple has appeared in the world, what will happen to the temples of Brahma on earth?"

It has been discovered that the belief in Brahma is the source of power for the demons.

It's impossible for the Great Chu government to be inactive.

Luo Guanyun said in a deep voice:

The Great Chu had a contingency plan: all temples of immortals and Buddhas whose faith had been stolen by the Heavenly Demons would be converted into shrines for martial arts.

The statue of Brahma will be melted down and cast into a demon-suppressing stele, and the incense offerings will be transformed into martial arts fortune.

As temples emerged one after another along with the demon's lair, the Great Chu, aside from the widely known Buddhist deities such as Tathagata, Guanyin, Manjushri, and Ksitigarbha, and the Taoist deities such as the Jade Emperor, the Supreme Lord, the Queen Mother, and Wenchang, was also affected.

Many other minor gods and immortals were secretly corrupted by the Heavenly Demon a hundred years ago.

The Great Chu had an official name for this: "Demonic Influence".

The Great Chu could not act on this in advance, firstly because the temple was not visible, making it impossible to determine whether it had been corrupted by demons.

Furthermore, matters involving faith can only be dealt with after they are discovered; otherwise, they could cause even greater unrest and be detrimental to the development of martial arts.

As for the gods who have not yet been "tainted" by the demons, in addition to their own immense faith power, they are also connected to the fortune of martial arts.

For example, the Zhenwu Emperor is worshipped by Wudang, and Shakyamuni receives the incense offerings of Shaolin. The protective power formed by the intertwining of martial arts fortune is the key barrier against demonic corruption.

The Great Brahma's incense offerings were weak, and it lacked the support of powerful martial artists, which is why the Heavenly Demons were able to take advantage of its weakness.

As you described, you have borne the consequences of His actions. After completing the aforementioned reforms, the Great Chu will hand over the core inheritance of Brahma to you; all you need to do is sign the Bone Paper Treasure.
