The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

"Okay." Jin Bingyun looked at him and closed her eyes.

Ishihara Shō lowered his head and kissed her lips.

……

谷擌

It wasn't until noon that Ishihara Akira washed up and left the room he had chosen separately for the convenience of his cultivation.

"Indeed, dual cultivation with Jin Bingyun can accelerate the fusion of the demonic seed and the Dao heart!"

It's much more effective than when he cultivated with others, including Gu Ningqing!

However, the speed wasn't much faster. It's unclear whether it was because Jin Bingyun's cultivation level was insufficient, or because she wasn't the main character and didn't have the same luck as Qin Mengyao, or perhaps because Shi Yuanzhang's own cultivation level was too high, preventing him from benefiting from cultivation alongside Qin Mengyao like Han Bai did, thus reducing the overall effect.

"Therefore, the agenda of creating a pseudonym should be implemented as soon as possible."

Afterwards, Shi Yuanzhang, served by the maids brought by Jin Bingyun and accompanied by music played by Lian Xiuxiu, had lunch with Zhuang Qingshuang and Gu Ningqing. Then, he once again slipped into his secluded bedroom and began operating under a pseudonym.

The method is quite simple, at least not particularly difficult for Ishihara Sho, who possesses boundless divine power and has mastered the Yin-Yang Release technique capable of creating all things in the Naruto world. It simply involves reaching the ultimate perfection of the Three Meridians and Seven Chakras training method—the union of self and other—connecting oneself with the world, obtaining an unlimited amount of energy from it, and then converting this energy into the special chakra needed for Yin-Yang Release, thereby creating—

A male body with the same appearance and height as him quickly emerged from the void and then fixed in place. A soulless body appeared before Ishihara Sho's eyes.

Then, Ishihara Sho got up and walked to the physical body he had created, using the power of his two hands to reshape the body's properties once again.

First, there was the Dao Heart and Dao Body, similar to those possessed by the protagonist Han Bai in the original work. Then came the cultivation channels of the Three Meridians and Seven Wheels, the physical qualities of the muscles and bones, and so on. After everything was transformed, Shi Yuanzhang touched his forehead and separated a wisp of pure primordial spirit without any yang energy from his primordial spirit, projecting it into the physical body in front of him.

Then, the previously silent body in front of him twitched its eyelids and awoke from its coma.

"How is it?" Ishihara Sho took two steps back, looked at the flesh and blood clone he had created with his own hands, and smiled.

“Great, let me get used to it,” the clone replied.

Then, I went down to the ground and started practicing Tai Chi to familiarize myself with my body.

Much later.

"That's fine," the clone nodded.

“Then let’s begin,” Ishihara Akira agreed.

The clone then returned to the bed, sat down cross-legged, and began practicing the three channels and seven chakras again, starting with tantric yoga. Because Ishihara Sho had opened the channels during the body's creation, it didn't take long for him to ignite his inner fire and easily open the root chakra, officially entering the realm of the three channels and seven chakras.

"You can cultivate here. I'll have someone deliver your meals or I'll do it myself." Ishihara Sho said to his clone, knowing that even if his body had been modified, it would still take a long time to rebuild the three meridians and seven chakras and cultivate his Dao to the point where he could plant demons.

The clone was in a state of cultivation, so although it heard the main body's words, it did not react in any way. However, Ishihara Akira himself understood. After glancing at his clone again, he turned and left the secluded room, returning to the room where Lian Xiuxiu, Zhuang Qingshuang, and Gu Ningqing were, to wait for Jin Bingyun's recovery.

After all, Chuyun Temple is a Buddhist temple. Although it is not directly under Cihang Jingzhai, it still has some connection with Cihang Jingzhai. Therefore, in order to make things go more smoothly, Shiyuan Zhang decided to take Jin Bingyun with him to visit the head of Chuyun Temple, Master Wangqing.

And so they waited until the afternoon, around lunchtime, when Jin Bingyun finally appeared before everyone with a slightly lazy air.

Chapter 395 Izumo-an

Seeing that Jin Bingyun had woken up, Shi Yuanzhang wasted no more time and directly took Jin Bingyun away from the spaceship that was currently hovering above the Izumo Temple. Like an immortal descending to earth, he stepped through the void and walked step by step towards the Izumo Temple below.

"Ishihara, accompanied by Jin Bingyun, a disciple of Cihang Jingzhai, has come to pay respects to Abbess Wangqing." As Ishihara descended, he focused his voice into a cylindrical shape and launched it directly at the Izumo Temple below.

Fortunately, his purpose was merely to announce his arrival, not to attack. Otherwise, with just a slight change in technique, the people and buildings in Izumo-an could have been completely destroyed by his attack, resulting in the immediate annihilation of Izumo-an.

Subsequently, the disciples of Chuyun Temple ran out, and after searching around without finding anyone, they finally spotted Ishihara Akira and Jin Bingyun when one of the disciples looked up at the sky out of boredom. They had now descended to a height of less than fifty meters above the ground.

"Senior sister, look! There are immortals!"

"You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"

"Senior sister, if you don't believe me, look at the sky."

"Ah, there really are immortals."

Then, following the voices of the two disciples, more and more people noticed Ishihara Sho and Jin Bingyun in the sky, until the two of them officially stepped onto the ground under their gaze.

"Ishihara and his wife Jin Bingyun have come to pay their respects to Abbess Wangqing," Ishihara Zhang said loudly to the surrounding disciples of Chuyun Temple, clasping his hands in greeting.

"Please follow me, both of you." At this moment, one of the disciples, who had finally come to his senses, stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Thank you for your help, young master."

Following the disciple who was leading the way, the two arrived inside Izumo-an and entered one of the meditation rooms.

A middle-aged nun dressed in a gray patchwork robe sat upright on a chair in the room, her eyes slightly closed, quietly turning the beads in her hands and chanting Buddhist scriptures.

"Master, the guests have arrived," the female disciple announced.

"Greetings, Abbess Wangqing." Shi Yuanzhang and Jin Bingyun greeted her with their hands clasped together in a Buddhist gesture.

"This humble nun greets the two benefactors." Abbess Wangqing rose and returned the greeting, saying, "Please have a seat. Yunxia, ​​go and bring some tea and snacks for the two guests."

"Yes," the female disciple named Yunxia replied, turning and leaving the room.

……

"May I ask what brings you two here?" After exchanging pleasantries, Master Wangqing, Shi Yuanzhang, and Jin Bingyun inquired.

"Does the nun have a disciple with the Dharma name Yun Su?" Shi Yuanzhang put down his teacup, looked at the tall and imposing nun Wang Qing, who was over 1.7 meters tall and half a head taller than Jin Bingyun when they stood together, and was also much more robust, and asked with a smile.

“Yun Su, I do have such a disciple, but she has stayed on the mountain ever since she became my disciple. May I ask where you heard of my disciple’s name?” Abbess Wangqing frowned slightly and asked with a look of doubt on her face.

“It came from the lone thief Fan Liangji,” Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

谷窷

"Fan Liangji?" Master Wangqing had heard of this person. He was considered one of the top ten masters on the Black List, along with Pang Ban, Lang Fanyun, and Li Ruohai. He was a man of both righteousness and evil, but he had never done anything heinous. She had only heard that he had a unique personality, but she had never interacted with them at Chuyun Temple. How did he know that she had a disciple named Yun Su?

Before Master Wangqing could press further, Shiyuan Zhang continued, "I overheard him talking to someone about the beauties of the martial world by chance, and he selected the so-called top ten beauties of the martial world from his own perspective. The one ranked eighth was Yun Su, your disciple, Master."

"Those people from the Black Gang are all no good. How can a young lady's reputation be discussed and commented on so casually!" Upon hearing this, Abbess Wangqing was immediately furious and shouted angrily towards the door.

Clearly, he was genuinely angry.

"Then what is the purpose of your visit, Your Excellency..." Then, Master Wangqing looked at Shiyuan Zhang with a rather unpleasant expression and asked.

"Firstly, I wanted to come here to meet Master Yun Su, whom Fan Liangji described as having a beauty like a fairy. As for the second, I wanted to take Master Yun Su with me and invite her to study the Dao of Shattering the Void together," Shi Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Bingyun, is this the man you chose?" Upon hearing this, Abbess Wangqing subconsciously clenched her fists, suppressing her anger, and questioned Jin Bingyun, who hadn't spoken much since entering.

"Master, you think too highly of me. Bingyun can't interfere in his affairs," Jin Bingyun said with a wry smile.

"..." Master Wangqing remained silent for a while before coldly asking again, "What if this humble nun refuses?"

"The reason I brought Bingyun with me this time is that I hope the abbess will agree to my request out of consideration for Bingyun and Jingzhai behind her. Otherwise... I will have no choice but to become a demon, defile the pure land of Buddhism, and turn this place into the realm of Moro." Shi Yuanzhang smiled and said, "At that time, it will not only be little Master Yunsu who will be harmed."

Upon hearing this, Abbess Wangqing's pupils contracted. Without saying a word, she shattered the prayer beads she had collected and threw them at Ishihara Sho using the technique of throwing hidden weapons. Before Ishihara Sho could react, she slapped the armrest of the chair next to her and shot herself after the scattered prayer beads toward Ishihara Sho.

Unmoved, Ishihara Sho directly activated the Golden Light Mantra to block all the prayer beads. Then, his spirit rushed into the mind of Master Wangqing. In that instant, Master Wangqing's emotions fluctuated violently. All kinds of emotional memories, whether sour, sweet, bitter, or spicy, surfaced from the depths of her mind. What was even more outrageous was that the figure of the man who had caused her to become a nun reappeared, standing in front of Master Wangqing as if he were a real person, blocking all the attacks for Ishihara Sho.

However, in reality, Master Wangqing stopped abruptly in front of Ishihara Akira, like a puppet, her hand still in the slapping motion, but she just couldn't bring herself to slap him down...

After a moment, Master Wangqing's eyes suddenly flashed, and she opened her mouth and spat out a large handful of blood, which landed on the golden light surrounding Ishihara Sho's body.

Then, Master Wangqing's aura weakened, and she staggered back a few steps before sitting down on a chair next to her.

"What kind of sorcery are you using!" Master Wangqing took a deep breath and glared at Shiyuan Zhang, demanding angrily.

"The Great Method of Planting Demons in the Heart of the Dao!" Ishihara Akira replied.

"You are the disciple of the Demon Master Pang Ban?" Abbess Wangqing asked in surprise and anger.

“That old guy isn’t qualified to be my master,” Ishihara Akira chuckled.

"To be honest, Master, Bingyun was rescued by Ishihara from Pang Ban's clutches," Jin Bingyun testified from the side.

Master Wangqing remained silent. She naturally understood why Jin Bingyun was saying this at this time. It wasn't a threat, but rather a way of telling her how strong Ishihara was!

After all, he wasn't even afraid of Pang Ban, and even dared to snatch people directly from his hands. If he really fought him head-on, the result would definitely not be good. Not to mention what would happen to Lingyun'an, his disciple Yunsu would definitely not escape the other party's clutches.

Chapter 396 Collection

A moment later, Abbess Wangqing greeted Jin Bingyun and then got up and left the meditation room.

However, he didn't leave for long, only about ten minutes, before returning with a young-looking female disciple.

The female disciple was quite tall, estimated to be over 1.9 meters, so when she stood next to Abbess Wangqing, Abbess Wangqing, whose figure was already quite tall among ordinary women, appeared petite.

She wore a simple gray monk's robe, had a fair complexion, and a very good figure. Unlike some tall women who either look strange or have an unattractive figure, she was as pleasing to the eye as a Victoria's Secret supermodel.

Naturally, her chest, like that of a supermodel, is somewhat disappointing. Compared to Zhuang Qingshuang's easily manageable figure, it lowers her score somewhat.

Bald, with a quiet demeanor, her dark eyes and cute appearance give her a particularly well-behaved air that makes people feel an irresistible liking and closeness to her.

Moreover, she is indeed quite good-looking. Although she is still not as good as Jin Bingyun or Lian Xiuxiu, she is not inferior to Zhuang Qingshuang. She is only slightly inferior to Gu Ningqing, who has a more mature charm. It is not an exaggeration to place her eighth among the ten beauties.

"This is my disciple, Yun Su," Master Wangqing introduced to Shi Yuanzhang and Jin Bingyun, who were looking over, with a blank expression on her face.

"Su'er, this is the demon I just told you about, Shi Yuan. Next to him is Jin Bingyun, one of the leaders of my Buddhist sect and a successor of Cihang Jingzhai." Then, Master Wangqing introduced him to the disciple beside her.

His tone made no attempt to conceal his resentment and anger towards Ishihara, causing Yun Su to involuntarily turn her head to look at him...

But then I felt a jolt in my heart, and a strange feeling of liking for Ishihara arose in my heart.

Yun Su quickly averted her gaze, lowered her eyes, and silently recited Buddhist mantras in her heart.

"The nun summoned her, does that mean she agrees to my request?" Shi Yuanzhang asked the nun with some surprise.

"This humble nun has no intention of betraying her disciple," Master Wangqing said coldly.

"Then what is this..." Ishihara Akira asked in confusion.

“The Buddha said: If I don’t go to hell, who will? Moreover, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Therefore, I am willing to sacrifice myself for my master, for the pure land of Chuyun Temple, and for the fellow disciples in the temple, to serve the demons and exchange my life for the peace of the pure land.” This time, without the nun Wangqing speaking, Yun Su whispered “Amitabha” and said to Shi Yuanzhang with a serious and earnest expression.

"What a fine act of sacrificing oneself to feed the demon. Little Master Yun Su is indeed enlightened. With your enlightenment, you are qualified to receive a certain inheritance left by Shakyamuni from me, so that I can help you become a Buddha." Shi Yuanzhang looked at Yun Su and chuckled.

"The lineage of Shakyamuni?" Jin Bingyun asked in surprise.

“Yes,” Ishihara Akira replied with a smile.

He not only possesses the genuine Shakyamuni lineage—brought from Mara's side—but also a fake Shakyamuni lineage—a counterfeit version of the Tathagata Palm technique he's about to create. Since no one else knows about it, it's enough to fool these Buddhists in front of him.

Given the many worldly-wise methods he displayed, neither Master Wangqing nor Jin Bingyun would have suspected that he was actually deceiving people.

Upon hearing this, Abbess Wangqing's eyes flickered a few times. Suddenly, a thought arose in her mind: it might not be bad for Yun Su to follow Ishihara. And, why was it Yun Su who was chosen by Ishihara instead of herself? This absurd thought!
