The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

However, after some time, the giant cocoon formed by lightning suddenly burst open, revealing Ishihara Sho, whose body was covered in electric sparks.

Then, Ishihara Sho took a deep breath and split himself apart by dividing his thoughts, becoming the purest thoughts, and met the thunder's bombardment with the thoughts themselves.

This time, however, Ishihara Yu's condition was no longer unharmed; rather, it had begun to deteriorate.

Each thought was shattered and destroyed under the bombardment of thunder, and was annihilated in the sea of ​​lightning.

However, these are all ideas containing magazine content or of insufficient quality, in other words, we are weeding out the rotten and keeping the pure!

Therefore, any thought that survives the thunderous strike is the essence of thought that meets the requirements of the five-fold thunder tribulation, and it is the fundamental existence that makes Ishihara Akira so powerful!

Therefore, only after his thoughts were almost exhausted and no more lightning strikes could shatter them did Ishihara Akane finally gather his now-single thoughts back together, rebuild his body, and after briefly sensing his current state, fly towards the area of ​​the sixth tribulation.

Whether or not he becomes the Creator is another matter, but he will definitely have to overcome the sixth tribulation.

Then, even more violent lightning, which could even tear space apart during its flow and seemed to carry a strange spatial power, swarmed together and struck Ishihara Akira's body.

……

After a long time, the thunderstorm dissipated, and Ishihara Sho, who had been missing, reappeared from the dissipating clouds. He jumped down and returned to the ship, which made Zen Ginsha and Zhao Feirong, who were worried about his safety, breathe a sigh of relief.

"What, are you worried that I won't be able to withstand the lightning tribulation and will die inside?" Seeing this, Ishihara Akira didn't stand on ceremony and went straight up to hug the two of them, smiling.

"Why did you take so long?" Zhao Feirong asked.

"This is a rare opportunity, why not try to pass through several levels at once?" Ishihara Akira said, kissing Zhao Feirong's delicate face.

It has to be said that women who cultivate themselves have incredibly clean skin and bodies!

Refers to various levels.

After all, cultivation itself is evolution, especially the evolution of one's life level, which brings many unexpected products and gains—such as the so-called six supernatural powers and the Dharma eye. They are indeed powerful, but for those who have not severed their seven emotions and six desires, and have not escaped worldly trivialities, it is almost like entering hell.

It's just because after cultivating the Dharma Eye, women—and not just women, but all humans—are truly unbearable to look at!

Even if someone takes three baths a day and has all sorts of obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness, in the eyes of a cultivator who is like a Buddha and can see the 84,000 insects in the water at a glance, the dirt, oil, blackheads, and mites in the skin's pores are clearly visible. If one doesn't find a way to eliminate them, or to make one's senses return to the state of an ordinary person, then one really can't even have the slightest thought of anything like that!

Women who have cultivated are different, especially those who cultivate in the Yangshen world. Once they pass the Innate Realm, their bodies are completely pure inside and out. Even if there is any defilement, it is just worldly dust. With Ishihara Sho's ability to control the changes of the six senses at will, they have no psychological concerns whatsoever and can do whatever they want.

On the other hand, in reality, if he hadn't taken the initiative to help his partner purify their skin using techniques like the Double-Handed Technique while playing, even if he had returned his six senses to a mortal state, he would have had some psychological issues and wouldn't have been able to progress as bravely and diligently as before.

"How many tribulations of lightning have you undergone?" Chan Yinsha asked upon hearing this.

“You may now call me the Creator.” Ishihara Akira turned to meet Zen Ginsa’s gaze and smiled.

"You have become the creator?" Zen Yinsha asked in astonishment.

Yes, Ishihara Sho made the Creator!

The main reason was that he never expected that all the feasting he did along the way would give him such a profound foundation!

Of course, this is also related to his special situation and the fact that his primordial spirit has a high degree of yang transformation. Therefore, after passing through the sixth tribulation of lightning, Ishihara Sho felt that he still had enough confidence, so he decisively entered the seventh lightning domain and began to undergo his tribulation of the creator.

Although his soul became much weaker after this incident, and the number of his thoughts decreased significantly, he still possessed the Xuan Yin Slaying Ghost and Soul-Seizing Technique, the Soul Vortex, and the Essence Regeneration Technique. If he were to encounter a battle, he could continue to unleash the Man-Eating Technique, draining and devouring all his enemies to allow himself to overcome his weakened state in the shortest possible time.

As for why he suddenly decided to undergo seven tribulations of lightning to become the creator...

Besides the confidence he had that he could get through this, his next move also required him to reach the level of a Creator. Otherwise, the trial at the Temple of Essence would be difficult to pass. The Great God of Primordial Qi was already at the level of a Creator, not to mention the upcoming journey to the Nine Abyss. The Daoist leaders there, whether righteous or evil, were all experts at the level of a Creator. If he didn't have an equivalent level, even if he had the Chaos Bell, it would be useless.

Oh, right, thanks to him achieving the blessing of the Creator, the power of the Chaos Bell has also greatly increased, reaching a level comparable to a sixth-tribulation magic weapon, enough to digest the Panhuang Life Sword and the Creation Gourd.

Besides all of the above, what is most important to Ishihara Sho is probably the degree to which his primordial spirit has become Yang.

Following the previous 60%, this time it was decisively increased to 85%, close to 90%. With this, coupled with the characteristics of his primordial spirit body, it can be said that he can directly unleash the power of the eighth level of lightning tribulation without any problem!

In this way, as long as it's not Meng Shenji in person, Ishihara Akira is confident that he can suppress all the characters in the current Yangshen Great Thousand World!

Including Hong Xuanji and Emperor Qian Yang Pan!

Because his current realm is only at the sixth tribulation of lightning, and if it weren't for the Creation Boat in his possession that made Ishihara Zhang somewhat wary, he would have wanted to return to Yujing City in the Great Qian Heavenly Continent, kill Yang Pan, and seize his fully refined future primordial spirit and the Ninefold Faith Aura, so as to complete his own cultivation of the Future Lifeless Scripture and the creation of his future primordial spirit.

“Yes. In this world, even if Meng Shenji himself came down, I’m confident I could hold my own against him,” Ishihara Akira said smugly.

"Hiss... This world is about to change." Upon receiving a positive reply, Chan Yinsha immediately gasped and exclaimed.

"By the way, how many tribulations of lightning did you survive?" Ishihara Sho asked Zen Ginsha with a smile.

“I don’t have your deep foundation and accumulation; I only survived one tribulation,” Chan Yinsha said, shaking his head slightly.

"Is there a period of weakness?" Ishihara Sho asked.

"There is some, but thanks to my previous experience of the divine power of thunder on the Immortal Jade Pendant, I should recover in ten to fifteen days at most, so it won't have a significant impact," Chan Yinsha replied.

"That's good." Shi Yuanzhang nodded, then asked Zhao Feirong beside him, "When will you be able to break through in the Divine Soul Realm and Martial Arts Realm?"

"It's hard to say about the spiritual realm, but as for the martial arts realm, it will probably take another one to two months," Zhao Feirong said after thinking for a moment.

"So long?" Ishihara Akane said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't I already teach you the secret of the Essence Rebirth and the methods of transforming the soul and blood in the Essence Temple? Since your soul is not working, why don't you strengthen your blood and qi first and break through to the Martial Saint realm?"

"I didn't think that much about it..." Zhao Feirong said awkwardly.

The main reason is that she looks down on martial arts cultivation systems that don't lead to immortality. She wants to focus on the path of the soul and become an immortal like Ishihara Akira, able to fly and escape into the world.

"Are there any Yuanpin Heavenly Beads left?" Seeing this, Ishihara Sho didn't say anything more, but turned to Zen Ginsha and asked.

"You want to use the medicinal power of the Primordial Heavenly Pearl to help him undergo a complete transformation?" Zen Yinsha, understanding the implied meaning from the text, instantly grasped Ishihara Sho's thoughts.

“Not bad.” Ishihara Akira nodded.

“There are still some. But I’ve kept them at my residence in Izumo, and I estimate I won’t be able to take them out until the ships arrive in Izumo,” Zenginsa explained.

“Alright. There’s no rush anyway.” After a pause, Ishihara Akira patted Chan Yinsha and Zhao Feirong’s buttocks twice and said, “Alright, you’ve just survived your tribulation and need to recover and digest it. Don’t stay here with me. Go back to your room and rest.”

"You too." Zen Yinsha glanced at him, replied, and then turned and went back to the cabin to experience the changes within himself.

“Cultivate diligently. If you can’t keep up with my pace, don’t blame me for abandoning you later.” Shi Yuanzhang said to Zhao Feirong as he watched Chan Yinsha walk away.

"Understood." Zhao Feirong replied and went to the side to practice the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist that Shi Yuanzhang had taught her.

Because she knew very well that the reason why Ishihara Akira still valued her was entirely because he used her as a breeding ground for nurturing the Six Paths of Reincarnation. So as long as she could do this well, she would not be abandoned by Ishihara Akira and would continue to enjoy the various war benefits that Ishihara Akira distributed.

For example, the Yuanpin Dzi Bead that Ishihara Sho just mentioned.

Ishihara Akira stayed on the ship for a while before turning back to his cabin to contemplate his own changes and their impact on the outside world.

Incidentally, he also absorbed the Panhuang Life Sword and smelted it into the Chaos, where its quality was greatly improved.

……

And so, after more than a month of sailing, the ship returned safely to Izumo Province.

Ishihara Akira, who was also tired of staying on the ship, did not stand on ceremony and immediately took Zhao Feirong off the ship. They followed Zen Ginsha back to her private residence in Izumo. After resting for a day, they went to a secret room in the residence, set up various barriers, and sat down in the room.

"I'm about to begin," Ishihara Akira reminded him, holding up the Qiankun Pouch.

Neither Chan Yinsha nor Zhao Feirong spoke, silently watching Ishihara Zhang perform his actions.

Without further ado, Ishihara Sho didn't hesitate. With a thought, the Qiankun Bag, which hadn't been moved since it fell into his hand and was refined, slowly floated up from Ishihara Sho's hand. When it reached mid-air, almost at the same height as Ishihara Sho's eye level, wisps of azure energy suddenly poured out from the Qiankun Bag, filling the space and making the entire secret chamber look like a fairyland.

Then, a spatial ripple, like water waves, spread out, and the Qiankun Bag opened up from the bound pocket, rapidly expanding until a huge blue stone gate, about two and a half meters high and seven or eight meters wide, nearly ten meters wide, appeared before the three of them. Then, it burst open, revealing a natural environment inside that seemed like another real world.

Without hesitation, Ishihara Akane slipped into the Qiankun Bag.

Then came Chan Yinsha and Zhao Feirong.

Suddenly, an even larger complex of buildings came into view.

Upon seeing this complex of buildings, neither Chan Yinsha nor Zhao Feirong had any intention of continuing to observe the space inside the Qiankun Bag, and they flew rapidly towards the complex.

Ishihara Akane was the same, so it didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the complex of buildings.

The architecture itself wasn't complex; it was just ordinary, typical architecture that fit the world and the era. It was similar to the Forbidden City, but it was categorized. For example, those storing grain had plaques that read "Warehouse" above the door, those storing books had plaques that read "Study," and then there were armories for weapons and treasuries for gold and silver...

Although the classification is simple, it also includes the contents of the money bag, so that people won't be confused about what's inside or have difficulty making statistics.

"How much money and grain is this?" Zhao Feirong murmured in amazement as she looked at the mountain of grain and the wealth and jewels that resembled mountains of gold and silver.

"No wonder they say the wealth in the Qiankun Bag is comparable to that of a country. This is probably the accumulation of the Great Zen Temple over the past thousand years," Zen Yinsha commented.

"And these weapons, no wonder Daqian wanted to wipe out Dachan Temple. With the number of these weapons, plus the number of martial monks in Dachan Temple, if they really arm themselves and cause trouble, Daqian will have a real headache for quite some time," Zhao Feirong added.

"Let's go to the study and see if the Three Sutras of the Great Zen Temple—Past, Present, and Future—are there." Chan Yinsha's eyes flickered, and he decisively looked away, walking towards the study.

Chapter 506 Exchange and Alchemy

"What is this? The War God Demon Scripture?" After searching around, she found many books from the Great Zen Temple, as well as many martial arts techniques passed down within the Great Zen Temple, but she couldn't find any of the three scriptures she desired: the Past, Present, and Future. Chan Yinsha picked up a huge bone plate with a large number of tiny characters engraved on it and asked in surprise.

“Yes, the War God's Demon Scripture, a secret technique that the Witchcraft and Ghost Path obtained by chance hundreds of years ago.” Ishihara Akira walked to Zen Ginsha’s side and took the bone tablet from her hand.

"Do you recognize the words on it?" Zen Ginsa turned to Ishihara Sho and asked.

"Thanks to the Yu Wutong and those three elders of the Witch Ghost Path that I swallowed before, they happened to have the ancient bone script content from the War God Demon Scripture in their minds, so I just happened to recognize it," Shi Yuanzhang said with a smile.

"Then what does this say?" Chan Yinsha pressed.

“I suspect you might not believe what I’m about to say, so I’ll pass on my knowledge of bone inscriptions to you, and you can see for yourself.” With that, Ishihara Shō touched his own forehead, and a small ball of spiritual light was separated and placed on Zen Ginsha’s forehead.

Suddenly, a flood of information exploded in Chan Yinsha's mind, teaching her how to recognize bone script.

Afterwards, Ishihara Sho handed the bone plate back to Zen Ginsa and continued browsing the other books in the study...

After a while, Zen Ginsha returned to Ishihara Sho's side with the bone tablet containing the War God's Demon Scripture and handed it back to him.

"Finished reading?" Ishihara Akira casually put away the War God Demon Scripture.

"Hmm. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel that the people of the Witchcraft and Ghost Path seem to have gone astray in their cultivation, turning the legacy left by the God of War into a demonic technique, and straying far from the Great Dao." Chan Yinsha frowned and pondered.

“All things follow their own course. The same sentence can have different meanings and be punctuated differently by different scholars. Perhaps your feeling is correct, and the understanding of the Witchcraft and Ghost Path is also correct. It’s just that they are limited by their own knowledge, consciousness, and understanding of nature, which leads to different interpretations. You can completely ignore the thoughts of the Witchcraft and Ghost Path people and just cultivate according to your own will. Perhaps you will have unexpected gains.” Ishihara Akira smiled and explained.

“It’s not impossible.” After a pause, Chan Yinsha looked around at the books with some regret: “Unfortunately, there is no trace of the Three Scriptures of the Past, Present, and Future here. It seems that I will have to find another way to pursue my martial arts path.”

"Didn't I give you the Yin-Yang Secret Manual? Doesn't it also have methods for opening acupoints on the face? Can't we use it?" Ishihara Akira asked in surprise.

"It can be used, but if I have the opportunity to obtain a better, more comprehensive, and more reliable method, I will naturally not give up the better method to choose a lower-level secret method to achieve immortality," Chan Yinsha replied.

“Then you can also choose to follow the route I mentioned, which is to subdue the seven souls,” Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"You yourself haven't even achieved Yang Godhood yet, how can you expect me to believe that the path of recovering the seven souls and cultivating the primordial spirit can definitely get rid of the need for the human immortal body and directly achieve Yang Godhood by relying on the power of the divine soul?" Chan Yinsha retorted.
