The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

If I were Yun Su, would I be able to obtain the true scripture transmission of Shakyamuni that can lead people to Buddhahood from the other party?

"Now that things have been settled, I won't stay here and disturb your rest any longer..."

谷碋

……

"Do you really possess the legacy of Shakyamuni?" After returning to the ship and settling the somewhat dazed nun Yun Su, Jin Bingyun sat down again and asked Shi Yuanzhang for confirmation.

"Yes, what's wrong? You want to learn?" Ishihara Sho asked with interest.

"Are you willing to teach?" Jin Bingyun asked in return.

"You're already my woman, why wouldn't you want to?" Ishihara Akira chuckled. "The Shakyamuni legacy I possess consists of two parts: one is the scriptures, which are the writings left by Shakyamuni about his thoughts, and the other is martial arts, a martial art that allows one to reach the Arhat realm through cultivation, the Tathagata Palm. Which part do you want?"

"Let's go with the classics," Jin Bingyun replied after a moment's thought.

Although she was curious about martial arts, she had already practiced the Sword Manual and, under Ishihara Akira's guidance, had reached a very high level. If, as Ishihara Akira said, it could help her reach the realm of Shattering the Void, then the Arhat status would not be an unattainable realm for her. There was really no need to give up the power she had already cultivated for the sake of the so-called inheritance of Shakyamuni.

Compared to that, the scriptures left by Shakyamuni are more important. At least she can send her back to the meditation hall to help her master and the monks there to take a step further and complete their Buddhist practice.

“Alright, then I’ll transmit it to you using dual cultivation tonight,” Ishihara Akira agreed.

"it is good."

Then, the spaceship restarted and moved towards another target selected by Ishihara Sho—the location of the Danqing Sect where Ning Bicui was located.

……

The next day, Shi Yuanzhang met Ning Bicui, the head of the Danqing Sect, who was dressed in a blue robe, with a cold and aloof demeanor.

"What business do you have with me, the sect leader?" Ning Bicui asked Shi Yuanzhang in a low voice.

"Do you have paper and pen? Please prepare one for me," Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

Ning Bicui glanced at him but did not refuse. She called over a disciple who was serving nearby and brought Shi Yuanzhang the Four Treasures of the Study: brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Then, without further ado, Shi Yuanzhang spread out the Xuan paper, dissolved the ink stick in the inkstone with water, picked up the brush, and under Ning Bicui's interested gaze, drew a picture of a beautiful woman on the Xuan paper beside him...

Then, just as Ning Bicui thought that Shi Yuanzhang wanted to paint a portrait of a beauty or a maid, she saw the beauty that Shi Yuanzhang had painted on the rice paper suddenly move, as if she had come to life, and jump off the rice paper, bowing to Ning Bicui in a near-realistic manner.

Ning Bicui and her disciple were immediately stunned, staring at the beautiful woman in the ink painting before them, and at the blank sheet of rice paper beside her, completely speechless—

Ma Liang's magic paintbrush?

Of course, at this time, the legend of Ma Liang's magic paintbrush still existed.

Then Ishihara Sho put the Xuan paper aside and began to carve in the air with a brush. It was still an image of a beautiful woman, but after it became real, it was much more realistic than the beauty painted in ink on the side. Not only were the colors realistic, but the figure was also realistic. If they hadn't witnessed how the beauty was created, they wouldn't have had any doubts even if they were told that the beauty in front of them was real.

"The secret art of painting, the divine application, do you want to learn it?" Shi Yuanzhang smiled at Ning Bicui, who was dumbfounded.

Chapter 397 Doppelganger on the Road

"You're willing to teach me?" Ning Bicui asked in surprise.

"Of course, there are conditions." Ishihara Sho waved his hand to dispel the two beauties he had created using his modified ninjutsu—Super Pseudo-Beast Painting—and the secret painting technique from the royal family of the Under One Person world—Divine Painting. He put down the brush in his hand and chuckled.

"What are the conditions?" Ning Bicui frowned and pressed for an answer.

“I want you to be my woman,” Ishihara Akira said bluntly.

“That’s impossible!” Ning Bicui refused immediately, almost without thinking.

"Really? What if I told you that besides teaching you these secret techniques, I'm also willing to help you avenge your father's death and kill the Spear and Shovel Twin Flying Feathers?" Ishihara Akira said confidently, undeterred.

"What did you say!?" Ning Bicui's expression changed, and she looked at Ishihara Akira with a serious expression.

"I said, besides teaching you the secrets of painting, I can also help you kill Zhan Yu, the Black List expert known for his spear and shovel combo, and avenge your father. In return, I might get your submission?" Ishihara Akira repeated.

"I'll agree to your terms if you can hand over the head of the spear-shovel-wielding man to me," Ning Bicui said through gritted teeth after carefully observing Ishihara Sho for a moment.

“Alright. Then you can arrange for people to find out Zhan Yu’s whereabouts. As soon as he shows up, I’ll help you take him out.” Ishihara Akira nodded in agreement.

“Okay. But how will we contact each other then?” Ning Bicui nodded and asked the most crucial question.

“Simple.” As soon as he finished speaking, Ishihara Akira’s figure suddenly appeared in front of Ning Bicui. Before she could dodge, he pointed a finger at her forehead and then retreated back to his original position.

“I’ve left a mark on your forehead. When you want to contact me, concentrate your mind on stimulating it, and then you’ll be able to contact me,” Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

Ning Bicui frowned and carefully used her mind to sense the location of her forehead.

Sure enough, there seemed to be a strange energy there. When she touched it with her mental energy, Ishihara Akane's voice appeared in her mind.

"Now you believe it, right?"

……

Then Ishihara Sho returned to the spaceship.

At this point, of the ten beauties in the martial arts world mentioned by Fan Liangji, apart from Qin Mengyao, whose whereabouts are currently unknown, and Consort Chen Yuzhen, who is currently in the Yingtianfu Imperial Palace, only the renowned beauty Ying Sanhua remains.

谷哧

However, it was precisely because Ying Sanhua's reputation for beauty was so great that she was a notorious womanizer in this era that Shi Yuanzhang's desire for Ying Sanhua diminished considerably after the presence of pure women like Zhuang Qingshuang, Lian Xiuxiu, and Yun Su, as well as Gu Ningqing, who, although not famous for her beauty, was believed to be no less than her in terms of temperament, methods, and agility. He then excluded her from his hunting range.

As for Gu Zixian? As Gu Ningqing's daughter, how could she possibly escape?

It's just that she was busy with the so-called selection of a husband and hadn't been in the Misty Water Valley, so she missed it. It will take some time before she can truly get in touch with her and even bring her into the family.

So, while waiting for Ning Bicui's information about the Spear and Shovel Double Flying Feathers, Ishihara Akira finally turned his attention to the three pure girls he had already acquired: Zhuang Qingshuang, Lian Xiuxiu, and Yun Su. He took the time to help them complete their transformation from girls to real women.

Of course, they didn't forget to strengthen their abilities—

So after dealing with the three, Shi Yuanzhang taught Yun Su the counterfeit Tathagata Palm technique and Zhuang Qingshuang, who was known as the Fragrant Sword Master in the martial arts world, the counterfeit Shushan Sword Control Technique, in order to enhance the benefits he could gain when they cultivated together.

……

A few days later, with the added benefit of the original body's cultivation experience, the flesh and blood clone, which had been transformed into a physique extremely suitable for the Three Meridians and Seven Chakras cultivation, successfully completed all the cultivation of the Three Meridians and Seven Chakras. With the help of the original body's experience, it reached the highest level of the Three Meridians and Seven Chakras cultivation method, the state of oneness with the self, and possessed the ability to obtain immeasurable power support from the nameless void.

Then, the flesh and blood clone began his cultivation of Daoist arts...

Initially, Ishihara Akira intended for him to cultivate the Old Farmer's Skill from Under One Person, which was the Divine Spirit of Wugensheng. However, upon further consideration of the characteristics of that martial art, Ishihara Akira felt that if he were to use him as soil to plant the demon seed, it would be decomposed into a form of primordial energy by the power of the Divine Spirit itself before the demon seed could even sprout. This did not align with his initial plan.

So after careful consideration—that is, after ruling out the Nine Yin Manual, the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the knock-off Zhouyou Liuxu Skill, and the Innate Qiankun Skill, which was created by combining the knock-off Zhouyou Liuxu Skill, the Qiankun Great Shift, and the War God's Manual with the Tathagata Palm—Ishihara Akira decided to use the Longevity Manual as his cultivation method.

After all, the Longevity Manual, as one of the Four Great Mysterious Books, is in line with the rules of this world. In addition, there is a seemingly unrelated connection between it and the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique. Perhaps there will be unexpected gains later. So he decisively followed the cultivation requirements of the Longevity Manual and began to cultivate the Longevity Manual in the most orthodox and original way - that is, excluding the method of converting spiritual energy from the cultivation of the Three Channels and Seven Chakras into Qi as the seed of cultivation.

Even so, the cultivation of the Longevity Technique did not hinder the flesh and blood clone with Han Bai's aptitude. Moreover, Han Bai's aptitude, which is what Chi Zunxin called the Dao Body and Dao Heart, was the most suitable for the cultivation of the Longevity Technique. Therefore, without much effort, Shi Yuanzhang sensed the existence of the external world's spiritual energy and completed the basic cultivation of the Longevity Technique by directly entering the innate realm.

After that comes the process of painstakingly pushing the cultivation level of the Longevity Technique forward, which doesn't need to waste any more time. So, after the foundation of the Longevity Technique cultivation is solid, the flesh and blood clone enters the state of oneness with Brahman, forcibly instilling itself by transforming immeasurable spiritual energy into Qi...

As for the resulting problems such as the tearing of meridians, those will naturally be resolved by Ishihara Akira's dual-wielding skills.

Therefore, without the burden of a physical body, the cultivation level and power of the flesh and blood clone changed every day. In just ten days, he cultivated the Longevity Technique to a level suitable for planting a demonic seed.

Therefore, the flesh and blood clone did not hesitate and immediately changed its cultivation method from the Longevity Technique to the Dao Heart Demon Seed Planting Technique. Using the techniques in the Dao Heart Demon Seed Planting Technique, it ignited the yin within yang of the yin formed by the cultivation of Daoist power, completing the condensation and implantation of the demon seed. After nurturing it for two more days, once the demon seed was completely stable, it decisively dispersed all its power, allowing the demon seed to truly manifest...

Next comes the fourth step, Demon Formation, which requires the flesh and blood clone to suffer and trigger the demonic seed. Ishihara Sho had no interest in making things bloody, so he directly used the power of his unscrupulous seven emotions and six desires to transform negative energy and infuse it into the flesh and blood clone's body. Then the clone operated on its own to complete the Demon Formation process.

Chapter 398 Zhan Yu

Next come the fifth stage of Demonic Tribulation and the seventh stage of Demonic Nurturing.

In particular, the fifth of the Demonic Tribulations requires cultivators to put themselves in a life-or-death situation, then comprehend a certain power and combine it with their own, thereby using that power to awaken their demonic seed and strengthen their life force.

To put it simply, it means that the cultivator must enter the Innate Realm.

After all, the Dao Heart Demon Seed Cultivation Technique is not an immortality formula that grants immediate innate cultivation upon successful mastery, allowing free access to the primordial energy of the external world. Rather, it is a legitimate martial arts cultivation path. In other words, while the initial stages are bizarre, they are not yet beyond the mundane cultivation stage and require gradual ascent. Therefore, the flesh and blood clone only paused briefly before successfully passing through the so-called demonic tribulation stage and arriving at the seventh stage of demon nurturing...

Then came Cui Mo, eighth—

As mentioned earlier, there are two ways to accelerate its completion: seeking pleasure with women and fighting with martial arts masters to stimulate the fusion of the demonic seed and the so-called Dao heart through combat.

Ishihara Sho couldn't help, so he could only arrange a location and send him out, letting him figure out how to complete parts of his training, such as the eighth stage of Demonic Induction, the ninth stage of Demonic Ascension, and the tenth stage of Demonic Extremity...

Let's see if the effects of the Dao Heart Demon Seed Cultivation Technique, which is cultivated using orthodox methods, on the transformation of the primordial spirit are any different from the method I devised by taking shortcuts.

Then, at that very moment, Ishihara Akira received a message from Ning Bicui—

"I've found Zhan Yu's whereabouts."

Without hesitation, Shi Yuanzhang greeted his clone and asked him to wait for him. Then, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and appeared at the foot of the Danqing Sect's mountain gate. After a few flashes, he appeared in front of Ning Bicui.

“I’m here,” Ishihara Akira greeted.

Ning Bicui was startled by Ishihara Akira's sudden appearance, but she didn't say anything. She took a deep breath to calm herself down, regained her icy beauty demeanor, and said in a low voice, "The Spear and Shovel Twin Flying Feathers are currently active in the Dongting Lake area. Judging from their behavior, they seem to have submitted to the Mongols and are acting with Fang Yeyu, who is known as the Little Demon Master. I wonder what sinister scheme they are planning."

"The Dongting Lake area? That's not far." Ishihara Akira recalled the contents of the original work and roughly understood why Zhan Yu was there. It was to deal with the Nujiao Gang and their new leader, Lang Fanyun!

I just don't know how far things have progressed.

“Then I will go there now. In seven days at most, I will deliver Zhan Yu’s head to you.” Shi Yuanzhang looked at Ning Bicui in front of him and said in a deep voice, “I just hope that you, Sect Leader Ning, can fulfill our agreement as you said before.”

"Although I, Ning Bicui, am not a man, I understand the principle that a promise is a promise. I said that as long as you can bring back Zhan Yu's head, I will submit to you, and I will definitely do so. Otherwise, I, Ning Bicui, am at your disposal." Ning Bicui responded with a resolute expression.

"That's good." After saying that, Ishihara Akira glanced at her again, then his figure flashed, just like when he came, disappearing into the air like a ghost.

Ning Bicui didn't speak, but after Ishihara Sho's figure completely disappeared, she sighed with a complicated expression.

"Ugh……"

……

"Let's go, I've found your opponent." Ishihara Sho chuckled as he reappeared before the flesh and blood clone.

"Who?" the flesh and blood clone asked curiously.

"Spear and shovel fly together, wings spread."

"A master of the Blacklist?"

谷餱

"Correct."

"It does present some challenges."

Then, the two moved in unison and ran towards the direction of Dongting Lake.

The two were faster than galloping horses, and because of their agility, they were not hindered by mountains and lakes and could barely travel in a straight line. So it didn't take them too long, just over a day, before they arrived near Dongting Lake.
