Martial Arts Crossover: I am the strongest demonic monk of Tianlong Temple

Less than a second later, the system notification sounded again.

[Ding! Deduction complete!]

[New Internal Kung Fu Method: The Dragon Elephant Nirvana Sutra]

[Rank: Ultimate Skill]

In an instant, all sorts of information about the "Dragon Elephant Nirvana Sutra" flooded his mind.

This exercise consists of thirteen levels.

Each advancement is no longer simply about increasing the power of a dragon and an elephant, but about allowing the original dragon and elephant power within the body to undergo a rebirth.

Each rebirth brings about a qualitative change in the power of the dragon and elephant, transforming it into something even stronger through the cycle of birth and death.

interesting.

This system is amazing! The newly integrated "Dragon Elephant Nirvana Sutra" is indeed incredibly profound.

The dragon represents life, while the elephant represents death.

In the cycle of birth and death, true energy forms its own cycle, endlessly flowing.

With that thought in mind, he closed his eyes and began to circulate the "Dragon Elephant Nirvana Sutra".

All 108,000 pores on his body opened up, closing and shutting as if inhaling and exhaling, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that permeated the surroundings.

dong dong dong! !

Chen Mo's body trembled, his bones and muscles creaked, and the withering and flourishing energies within his body seemed to be undergoing incredible changes.

A deep, resonant dragon roar first echoed from the depths of his dantian, followed by a powerful, booming elephant's cry.

A phantom image of a dragon and an elephant appeared behind him, and even the surrounding air vibrated strangely.

At the same time, his left half was filled with a blue light, full of vitality, just like the revival of all things.

The right half of his body was faintly glowing with gray light, and the silence was as deep and still as an ancient wasteland.

The two energies of decay and prosperity within his body collided fiercely like two dragons in his meridians, yet gradually merged under the profound guidance of the "Dragon Elephant Nirvana Sutra".

The dragon and elephant phantom behind Chen Mo suddenly roared to the sky.

The Azure Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a stream of azure light, which disappeared into its left half.

The white elephant's trunk curled up gray mist, which flowed into its right side.

The two forces converged at the dantian, forming a slowly rotating chaotic vortex.

"laugh--!"

Like the first soft sound at the beginning of creation, the two energies of decay and prosperity completely dissolved in the vortex, giving birth to a brand new true energy of chaotic color.

This true energy contains the concept of the cycle of life and death, and also carries the immense power of dragons and elephants.

Wherever it passed, the meridians shone like jade, faintly emitting the sounds of wind and thunder.

Nirvana True Qi!

This true energy is many times stronger than the original withering and flourishing energies, and it also contains unparalleled spirituality.

Chen Mo opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them. "The first level of the Dragon Elephant Nirvana Sutra is complete!"

He could feel the newborn Nirvana Qi surging out from his dantian, flowing through his limbs and bones, and permeating every corner of his body.

Even one's internal organs are gradually nourished and strengthened by the Nirvana Qi!

Moreover, the Nirvana Qi circulates within the body, and with each cycle, the physical body becomes stronger.

"System, open the properties panel!"

Swish!

A deep blue light screen, visible only to oneself, unfolded before one's eyes.

With a thought, Chen Mo sent out a wisp of chaotic true energy from his fingertips, which transformed into a phantom image of a dragon and an elephant intertwined in his palm.

"This technique is truly heaven-defying; even the first level possesses such power..."

He felt the ever-renewing Nirvana state within his true energy, "If I could cultivate to the thirteenth level, I might truly be able to touch the threshold of breaking through the void with martial arts."

……

……

The quiet room deep within the Myōō Hall of Ōrū-ji Temple.

King Kumārajīva staggered to his feet, barely managing to stand by leaning against the wall.

He nearly exhausted his energy clearing away the foreign energy from the four Vajra protectors.

"What a magnificent creation... what a magnificent Tianlong Temple..."

He was panting, but a glint of greed flashed in his eyes, "If only... I could get this kid's internal energy cultivation method..."

Just then, an elder in red robes hurriedly entered and reported in detail about the charred knife mark in the VIP Zen Temple.

"what?!"

King Kumārajīva's pupils constricted sharply. "You're saying that charred knife mark looks like it was made by a flame-shaped blade?!"

"how is this possible?"

He shook his head. "Absolutely impossible. Even I spent a month just getting the hang of it back then."

"I guess maybe they were putting on an act for us."

"acting?"

The elder in red asked in confusion, "Why are those people from Tianlong Temple putting on a show for us out of the blue?"

"That's right. Imagine if someone obtained your signature skill and learned it in a short time, how would you feel?"

King Kumārajīva smiled and asked in return.

The elder in red replied without hesitation, "Naturally, they were both shocked and terrified, and couldn't sit still..."

His words abruptly stopped, and he suddenly realized, "What the King of Light means is that they deliberately created this illusion to disturb our minds!"

"exactly."

King Kumārajīva nodded. "They are deliberately making things mysterious in order to break down our psychological defenses."

"This is a psychological tactic!"

The red-robed elder's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he quickly bowed, saying, "Your Majesty is wise!"

"I only saw the surface of the knife marks, but I didn't see the scheme behind them!"

"Your Majesty is truly insightful. If you hadn't pointed it out, I would probably still be in the dark!"

"Hmph, it's just a trivial skill."

King Kumārajīva sneered, "They think they can intimidate my Great Wheel Temple with such meager methods? They're being far too naive!"

Before he could finish speaking...

A glint of light flashed in his eyes. "Aren't they trying to show off their extraordinary talents?"

"Let's just play along..."

"This will show them what it means to have your clever scheme backfire!"

Chapter 20 A Clever Move Backfires

The morning light is slightly dew.

Chen Mo slowly finished his practice, his eyes flickering with chaotic light.

After a night of cultivation, although the Dragon Elephant Nirvana Sutra was still at the first level, the withering and flourishing energies in his body were completely transformed into Nirvana True Energy.

There was no way around it; the amount of withering and flourishing energies in my body was simply too great.

Even for him, it took a whole night to complete the conversion.

If it were someone else, it would take at least a year and a half.

At this moment, Chen Mo felt a surge of power throughout his body, and every move he made subtly aligned with the profound principles of birth, death, and reincarnation.

He got up and came out of the quiet room, slowly walking into the courtyard.

A gentle morning breeze, carrying the crisp, refreshing scent unique to the snowy plateau, carries the faint sound of monks chanting their morning prayers in the distance.

Seeing that Bai Yu, Liao Chen, and Liao Yuan were all there, he was about to invite them to explore Lhasa city today.

"Thump thump thump—!"

Just then, a regular knocking sound came from outside the Zen temple. "Has Master Benyan risen yet?"

The voice of King Kumārajīva came in, "This humble monk has come to pay a visit."

Chen Mo waved his sleeve lightly, and the courtyard gate opened by itself without any wind.

The wise king Kumārajīva stood alone outside the door, without any accompanying lamas.

His face was slightly pale, clearly indicating that he had not fully recovered from the mental and physical exertion of healing the Four Vajra Protectors yesterday.

"The Imperial Advisor has come to visit so early in the morning. What brings you here?"

Chen Mo stepped forward to greet him, his gaze sweeping over the other's slightly pale face. "Is the Imperial Advisor not getting enough rest? You don't look well."

Upon hearing this, King Kumārajīva's eye twitched almost imperceptibly.

He cursed inwardly, "If it weren't for your bizarre true energy, why would I have wasted so much effort?!"
