Demon Lord Tang Dynasty

Bi Xuan, the Turkic national teacher and martial lord.

Just eight words are enough to explain everything.

Yes, the world Gao Yi is in now is not an ordinary historical world, but the world of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty.

Three grandmasters, four powerful clans, and the Heavenly Blade Evil King—this is an incredibly magnificent and vast world.

The martial arts world and the imperial court, the righteous and the demonic paths, the Buddhist and Taoist sects—it's all incredibly exciting yet extremely dangerous.

In terms of sheer danger, the real world he's in now is far larger than the fictional world he once existed in.

In the Central Plains and beyond the Great Wall, among Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, across the nine provinces of the world, how could there only be the four major powers on the surface? Who knows how many hidden masters are lurking in the shadows?

At least, the Maitreya sect he is currently in did not appear in the original work.

Of course, this only applies to The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty.

In the borderland legends before the era of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, the Maitreya sect was very famous.

Because the predecessor of Maitreya Buddhism was called Mahayana Buddhism, and its founder was the living Maitreya Zhu Faqing.

Judging by the name alone, he may not be well-known, but Zhu Faqing is by no means an unknown person.

At the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Zhu Faqing led the Mahayana sect to roam the northern border, which can be said to have stirred up half of the world.

In the south, there was another force and person who caused a similar uproar and was as famous as him.

The one that was as famous as Mahayana Buddhism was the Celestial Masters Sect, and the person who was as famous as Zhu Faqing was named Sun En, the Celestial Master Sun En who fought Yan Fei in the end and shattered the void to leave.

For a long period before Sun En's demise, Zhu Faqing was a top expert on par with him and Sun En's strongest opponent.

Unfortunately, Zhu Faqing reached his peak upon his debut, appearing only a few times before dying at the hands of the chosen one, Yan Fei.

Even so, it did not diminish Zhu Faqing's power.

In his battle with Yan Fei, he only used 50% of his strength, but even so, Zhu Faqing was able to steadily suppress his opponent. It was only because of his carelessness that he fell to Yan Fei's Butterfly Love Flower.

After Zhu Faqing's death, the Mahayana sect he founded was also besieged and suppressed. Only a few remnants escaped to the border regions and changed their name to Maitreya sect.

Although the Maitreya Sect is now just a remnant and declining entity, in terms of origin and lineage, it is by no means inferior to any other sect or power in the world.

The Ten Abodes Mahayana Technique, created by Zhu Faqing alone, is an unparalleled treasure that leads directly to the mastery of the unity of heaven and man. Only the Four Great Wonders and a few other fragmented treasures, such as the Yellow Heaven Great Law, can completely surpass it.

"What a pity..."

Gao Yi shook his head regretfully.

The lineage of Maitreya Buddhism is absolutely profound. Putting aside the Ten Abodes Mahayana Practice created by Zhu Faqing himself, Zhu Faqing himself came from the Buddhist sect and also had the Buddhist lineage of Vajrayana and other esoteric traditions.

In addition, Zhu Faqing's wife, Ni Huihui, possessed the skills of the Demonic Sect. Furthermore, Ni Huihui's father was the master of Sun Enjiang, Ling Xu, and others, and she also possessed a portion of the Celestial Masters Sect's legacy.

Of course, Gao Yi is no longer in contact with the core of the Maitreya sect, so he doesn't know how much of the precious legacy from back then has been preserved.

After all, after Zhu Faqing died, the Mahayana Maitreya sect he founded became a pariah, with only one in ten disciples remaining. It was only natural that its techniques and lineage were lost.

Whether or not copies of the Ten Abodes Mahayana Practices are still preserved in the Maitreya sect today remains unknown.

Gao Yi sighed softly. As a transmigrator, he was naturally curious about martial arts, especially divine skills like the Ten Abodes Mahayana.

Unfortunately, he is now imprisoned, and no matter how much he longs for it, he can only endure it for the time being.

With a light breath, Gao Yi picked up the Buddhist scripture again and slowly opened it.

"This servant is acting on the orders of the Dharma Protector to deliver a superior Buddhist elixir to the World-Honored One..."

A soft, delicate voice came from outside the tent.

Gao Yi put the scriptures down again.

"Come in."

As soon as she finished speaking, a maid dressed in a green maid's dress entered the tent and bowed to Gao Yiying.

"This servant greets the World Honored One, the Buddha Maitreya."

"Are you new here? What's your name?"

"Yes, my name is Rou Rou."

Gao Yi squinted and waved his hand.

"Alright, put your things down."

Gao Yi looked at the tray in Rou Rou's hand. On the tray was a jade dish with a red pill the size of a longan in the center.

Rou Rou looked up, a hint of timidity flashing across her fair face.

"Reporting to the Master, the Dharma Protector has instructed that the medicinal properties of the Buddha Elixir cannot be preserved for long. Please take it as soon as possible."

A glint of light flashed in Gao Yi's narrowed eyes.

"Then... bring it here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Rou Rou quickly stood up and handed the medicine dish to Gao Yi.

Gao Yi remained calm, picked up the pill and brought it directly to his lips. A rich medicinal aroma mixed with a barely perceptible fishy smell rushed into his mouth and nose.

Rou Rou put down the tray, got up and quickly poured a glass of warm water, then slowly brought it to Gao Yi's face.

At the same time, Rou Rou gently placed her other hand on Gao Yi's chest and began to slowly stroke him from top to bottom.

The moment the pill entered his mouth, it dissolved completely, turning into a warm current that flowed into his stomach.

Gao Yi's expression remained unchanged, as if he hadn't noticed the soft, boneless hand that was constantly rubbing his chest.

He simply raised his hand to take the water glass from Rou Rou's hand, and met her gentle yet alluring gaze, and spoke softly.

"The elixir is excellent. When I return, I will thank the protector on behalf of my master."

Rou Rou slowly raised her eyes and looked at Gao Yi's face.

Compared to before, Gao Yi's face had not changed at all.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that there seems to be a faint flash of Buddhist light between Gao Yi's brows.

However, compared to ordinary Buddha's light, that fleeting golden light seemed to contain a faint purplish-red hue, exuding an inexplicable eeriness and malevolence.

Rou Rou's body trembled, but when she looked again, the light had completely disappeared, as if what she had seen before was all an illusion.

All that remained before my eyes was Gao Yi's gentle and indifferent face.

"Rou, Rou Rou understands."

Rou Rou lowered her head, the tears in her eyes slowly dissipating, and her expression unconsciously became much more solemn.

Gao Yi waved his hand and picked up the Buddhist scripture that was covering his lap again.

Rou Rou opened her mouth but did not utter a sound. After bowing respectfully, she retreated out of the tent.

Just as Rou Rou's figure disappeared, Gao Yi looked up again and gazed towards the direction outside the tent.

"The frequency of the pills is increasing; it seems to be getting more and more urgent..."

Gao Yi pursed his lips, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"But coincidentally, I'm also getting a little impatient. It'll be soon, it'll be soon."

Gao Yi's lips curled up. In front of him, an invisible scroll, like a traditional Chinese ink painting, slowly unfurled.

As the scroll unfolds, a special kind of light slowly blooms before your eyes.
