Zhiqiu Yiye was dumbfounded and said, "My goodness, they are too strong. I'm afraid my immobilization spell will not work on them at all!"
Chapter 199 Tathagata and the Patriarch Tianshi
The Tathagata spoke again, but his tone was much softer than before: "You are very good. This time I really want to take you as my disciple. How about it?"
"I'll take your Malaysian ringgit!" Chen Mo replied without hesitation.
Hearing this, Tathagata frowned and said, "Well, since you are so ungrateful, it's not my fault!"
After he finished speaking, he suddenly emitted endless golden light. Zhiqiu Yiye was horrified when he saw this: "Don't look at this golden light, it is the legendary light of conversion. Anyone who is struck by it will become his most devout believer. This is how the so-called conversion to Buddha comes from. It is extremely insidious and vicious!"
After being reminded, Chen Mo nodded and sneered: "Since you like being a light bulb so much, then I'll let you be a light bulb somewhere where no one is!"
After saying that, Chen Mo activated the ability of [Heavenly Control] on him. Tathagata Dharmakāya noticed the abnormality and wanted to escape from here quickly, but it was too late.
Looking at the disappearing Pudu Cihang, Zhiqiu Yiye asked in confusion: "Hey? That guy ran away?"
Chen Mo did not answer, but silently observed the situation in the space of [Tianzhiyuzhong]. Chen Mo's [Tianzhiyuzhong] controlled several different spaces. At this time, the image of Tathagata was collected by Chen Mo into one of the spaces.
What surprised Chen Mo was that after the Tathagata's Dharma image entered this strange space, it actually dissipated, revealing Pu Du Ci Hang inside. Moreover, according to Chen Mo's observation, this was not something Pu Du Ci Hang himself wanted to remove.
After thinking for a while, Chen Mo created a shadow clone and entered the space of [Heavenly Palace]. Upon seeing Chen Mo appear, Pudu Cihang did not launch an attack rashly this time, but said in a kind tone:
"Chen Mo, right? We don't actually have any big hatred. There is no need for us to fight. You can't do anything to me, and I can't do anything to you. How about you let me leave this space? I promise that I won't cause you any trouble later. Not only that, I can also give you some help. How about it?"
"Hehe, I think you are afraid of being trapped to death in this space by me?" Chen Mo directly stated his true intention.
Pu Du Ci Hang did not deny it: "You are right, but what I said is not a lie!"
"Are you related to that Tathagata?" Chen Mo suddenly asked.
Pu Du Ci Hang did not speak, but Chen Mo had already gotten the answer from the subtle changes in his expression. As for using [Human Way] to directly investigate, a demon king of this strength has a strong resistance to soul investigation and may not succeed.
"What exactly do you want in exchange for letting me go?" Pu Du Ci Hang asked.
"I'm sorry, but no enemy that entered my space has ever walked out alive!"
After hearing this, Pu Du Ci Hang knew that peace talks were impossible. The only way now might be to capture the other party and force him to let him go?
Thinking of this, Pu Du Ci Hang, who knew that Chen Mo was extraordinary, suddenly tore off his disguise and revealed his true form, which was actually a centipede that was a hundred feet long.
The speed of the centipede is actually extremely fast. For the same size, it is much faster than a cheetah, not to mention that it is a centipede spirit, and its strength is comparable to that of a demon king.
In the blink of an eye, the centipede monster had arrived in front of Chen Mo and bit him suddenly.
Unfortunately, it was blocked by a huge wooden ball in the end, which was the Wood Release Wood Wall.
The centipede monster was not surprised that the first attack failed. He suddenly changed his attack method and was actually preparing to strangle Chen Mo like a python.
It's true that the effect of this move is quite obvious. In the blink of an eye, the wooden ingot wall was crushed into pieces. Just when it was about to strangle Chen Mo, a voice suddenly rang out:
【Super God Ra Tensei】
boom!
Suddenly, the centipede monster, which had originally curled up into a ball, twisted under this powerful repulsive force. If it had not changed its shape at the critical moment, it would have become a snake grenade and exploded into a pile of pieces.
But despite this, when the smoke and dust cleared, the scales on the centipede monster's body became somewhat tattered.
Unexpectedly, the centipede monster was not afraid, but its ferocity was aroused: Okay, okay, the stronger you are, the better. Eating you is equivalent to eating thousands of people!
Seeing the centipede monster spit out purple smoke, Chen Mo suddenly remembered that centipedes seemed to be poisonous, so was it trying to poison me to death? Naive!
【Amaterasu】
Fire can restrain some poisonous miasma, so Chen Mo used [Amaterasu] without hesitation.
Sure enough, the black flames quickly devoured the purple poisonous gas. Not only that, the black flames were also spreading towards the centipede monster's body, scaring the centipede monster so much that it fled hurriedly, fearing that it would be contaminated by this strange flame.
Half an hour later, looking at the centipede monster that was burned to death, Chen Mo did not approach rashly. He only breathed a sigh of relief after [Human Path] completely devoured its soul.
While taking out the demon pill and checking its memory, Chen Mo soon raised his eyebrows: This centipede demon is indeed related to Tathagata!
By exploring its memory, Chen Mo learned that the centipede demon was originally a monster who listened to the teachings of Tathagata. Until one day, at the instruction of Tathagata, it came to the Daqian Dynasty and became the national teacher.
The order given to him by Tathagata was to promote Buddhism and increase Buddhist worship. When necessary, he could even support an emperor on earth. The reason for doing so was to compete for the faith of the world.
As for why Tathagata did not do it himself, it was because if he did it himself, it would alert other beings who are as powerful as him. At their level, they would not act rashly. Firstly, it would cause too much damage to the world, and secondly, after living for so many years, no one wants to encounter an accident.
In order to prevent the centipede monster from being killed by someone midway, Tathagata specially allowed the centipede monster to use the method of summoning gods and borrow his power. The Tathagata's Dharma image that Chen Mo had seen before was not so much a centipede monster as it was Tathagata who came with the power of the centipede monster. No wonder Zhiqiu Yiye could not tell the authenticity of Tathagata's Dharma image.
As for why other powerful immortals and gods don’t get rid of Tathagata, the hidden chess piece, it’s because if you dare to kill my chess piece today, I will dare to kill your chess piece tomorrow, and then no one will end up well!
Rather than both sides suffering losses in the end, it is better to form a tacit understanding that all beings are chess pieces, and it depends on who has better chess skills.
After learning the truth, Chen Mo's face turned completely cold: Is this the high and mighty immortal god? It's just a deity conferred by human nature. Let me see how I will knock you off the altar in the future!
At the same time, somewhere in the underworld, a thousand-foot-tall figure suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the world of the living. After a while, he retracted his gaze and frowned, "Has the aura of that little centipede completely disappeared? Even the power I used to descend over there was forcibly interrupted. Has it left this space?"
Tathagata already knew who Pudu Cihang's enemy was through the previous divine descent, and also knew the location of the enemy's city. Tathagata was still very interested in the fact that the enemy was able to defeat Pudu Cihang, who had the strength of a ghost king: Since you made me lose a chess piece, I'll let you make up for it!
As he thought of this, Tathagata's thousand-foot figure suddenly rose from the ground, and then he took a step and came directly to the world of the living.
With his arrival, the night sky in the world of the living suddenly became much brighter, as if a small sun had risen.
He was about to head to the city where Chen Mo was, but he suddenly stopped, looked at the void in front of him, and said with a smile: "Since you are here, why don't you come out and see me?"
Seeing him say this, the figure hidden in the void no longer hid, and an old Taoist with an immortal look suddenly appeared. Although he was only the size of an ordinary person, he was not afraid of the thousand-foot-tall Tathagata at all: "This is not your sphere of influence, you have crossed the line!"
"Although this place is not my sphere of influence, the world of the living does not belong to you, Master Lei, alone. Is it not possible for me to take a look around?" Tathagata said indifferently.
There are no Three Pure Ones and Four Emperors in this world, but there are people with great powers that are not inferior to Tathagata. Lei Tianshi mentioned by Tathagata is one of them. His status is equivalent to that of Zu Tianshi in his previous life. Now many Taoist sects in the world of Liao Zhai were built by his disciples, while he himself retreated behind the scenes and devoted himself to practice. If a strong man of the same level does not appear or there is a particularly great danger in the world of the living, he generally will not show up. Now that Tathagata has suddenly descended to the world, he naturally alarmed him!
"Hmph, every time you show up, something bad happens. I'm afraid you're eyeing the incense from the world of the living again?" Lei Tianshi did not hide his dislike for Tathagata at all.
Tathagata was not impressed by Lei Tianshi's attitude, and he had obviously experienced it before: "You preach your way, and I transform myself into a Buddha, and it seems like everyone is just after the incense!
As a chess player, if a chess piece is lost, it shouldn't be too much for me to go and look for it, right?"
Master Lei Tianshi naturally knew what the so-called chess pieces meant. Tathagata usually sat in the underworld, while Master Lei Tianshi himself sat in the world of the living. Both sides had placed pieces in each other's sphere of influence.
The existence of Taoism and Buddhism in the world is the result of Tathagata's layout, and the existence of Taoists in the underworld who serve as ghost messengers, ghost generals, and city gods after death is the result of Lei Tianshi's layout. The chess pieces on both sides rely on their abilities, and as chess players, it is very rare for them to play in person. Unexpectedly, the other party actually came to the world for a chess piece today, which aroused Lei Tianshi's curiosity.
Although he was curious, Master Lei Tian said, "You lost your chess piece, but you came to my chess box to look for it. Do you suspect that I stole your chess piece?"
Tathagata frowned: "Do you really want to stop me?"
"The way you said it makes it seem like you didn't stop me when I was rescuing someone from the underworld!" Master Lei Tian sneered.
Tathagata wanted to say more, but he felt several powerful auras approaching, and his face changed immediately. He knew that if he really alarmed too many powerful people in the world of the living, it would be even more difficult for him to end the situation, and it would also make them notice the existence of Chen Mo. In that case, it would be even more difficult for him to subdue Chen Mo!
Thinking of this, Tathagata snorted coldly: "Hmph, I'll remember what you did today. Next time you come to the underworld, I will definitely let you experience it too!"
Master Lei Tian couldn't help but sneer: "Oh, who doesn't know how to make threats? Let's have a fight if you have the guts!"
How could Tathagata really fight here? This is the opponent's home court. No matter who wins or loses in the end, a third party will definitely reap the benefits. He doesn't want to be a stepping stone for others.
He glared at Master Lei Tianshi fiercely, then crossed over and returned to the underworld.
They were planning to see if they could find a bargain, but this is what happened? It was a wasted trip!
At the same time, Jiang Mansion
When Tathagata came to the world of the living, Chen Mo sensed something unusual. The other party's undisguised powerful aura could be detected by anyone who was strong enough to a certain extent, let alone Chen Mo who was powerful and had keen perception.
Chen Mo murmured, "This aura is similar to the Tathagata Dharma image on Pudu Cihang before. Could it be that Tathagata has appeared? He came just after I killed Pudu Cihang. Does this mean he is coming for me?"
Unlike Zhiqiu Yiye and the others, they might still be afraid of Tathagata, but Chen Mo was eager to try, and wanted to see Tathagata's strength. If he couldn't beat him, didn't he still have the [Imperial Seal]? At worst, he could use the seal to teleport to another world. He didn't believe that Tathagata could follow him!
Chen Mo was ready for a big fight, but he didn't expect that Tathagata not only didn't come, but even his aura disappeared: Could it be that the guy wasn't coming for me? Was he just passing by?
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
A lot of things happened in the past month. The current Emperor Daqian suddenly fell critically ill. The princes not only did not think about how to quell the rebellion, but instead became involved in a fight for the throne.
This led to the increasingly corrupt situation in Daqian, with countless cities being captured by rebel forces from all over the country. Anyone who was not a fool would know that Daqian was doomed.
Chen Mo was not at all surprised by this. Having read Pudu Cihang's memories, he knew that Emperor Daqian had been drained of his blood by Pudu Cihang a long time ago. If Pudu Cihang had not wanted to take advantage of the country's destiny to make further progress and not let Daqian fall apart too quickly, that's why he used medicine to keep the old emperor alive. The old emperor would have died long ago, and with the death of Pudu Cihang, the old emperor had no follow-up medicine, it would have been strange if he didn't die!
As for those princes fighting for power, they each have forces behind them. Some are monks, some are demons, and some are Buddhists. In short, with the old emperor being critically ill, the fortunes of Daqian entered a real period of decline, and all kinds of monsters and demons emerged.
At this moment, a servant suddenly came to report: "Sir, there is a group of people outside the city who claim to be sent by the rebels from other places. They want to discuss important matters with you. What do you think..."
Rebellion elsewhere?
To be honest, Chen Mo didn't have a good impression of the rebels. Most of them were like bandits, and only a few were well-disciplined. This was mainly related to the forces supporting them. The demons were naturally only concerned with fighting and killing, while the humans were better as they still cared about human lives. But if they were evil cultivators, that was another matter.
I just don’t know which one is coming to find me this time?
Outside the city, a group of people were waiting, led by a scholar. He looked at the city and the people constantly coming in and out, and praised: "It's clear inside the city, but just from the city gate, we can tell that Chen Mo is extraordinary!"
Someone beside him asked in confusion: "Military Advisor, how did you figure that out?"
"Look at these people. Even in such a war-torn time, they still have smiles on their faces, which shows that they have not had their life pressure increased by the war. To be able to do this, it is no surprise that this city has implemented benevolent policies.
Looking at the guards at the city gates, each one of them is meticulous. Not only do they not make things difficult for the common people, but they are very serious about maintaining public order, which shows that the people in this city are good at managing the army.
Being able to do these two things at the same time means that one has the capital to survive in this troubled world." The scholar explained.
Hearing this, several people around him felt that it made sense, but some people were dissatisfied: "He only has one city, which is easy to manage. Isn't it normal for him to be able to do this? We have several cities. If the same situation happens, he will definitely not do as well as us!"
The scholar shook his head secretly: Just this kind of attitude of underestimating the enemy is destined to make it difficult for him to achieve great things!
At this moment, the person who had gone in to report came out and said, "I'm sorry, our master said that no matter which rebel army it is, we will not receive anyone except those who come to surrender!"
Hearing this, the scholar was stunned. Several people beside him who were sent to protect him shouted angrily: "Your master is so arrogant. Do you know who the rebels behind us are? Why do you still submit to you? Do you believe that we can lead our army to defeat you directly?"
The soldiers guarding the city were summoned by Chen Mo through the Impure World Reincarnation. They were loyal to Chen Mo alone and knew how powerful Chen Mo was. When they heard what the other party said, they were not polite and said sarcastically: "Just you? We will kill as many as you can!"
I am immortal, so why should I be afraid of these ordinary people?
Seeing that the soldiers guarding the city were confident and fearless, the scholar stopped the guard who was about to fight and asked again, "Excuse me, is this what your master really said?"
He felt that there might be someone deceiving his superiors and hiding the truth from his subordinates.
The soldier guarding the city glanced at him, but still said truthfully: "Yes, that's what my master said, so please go back!"
After getting the answer, the scholar did not continue to pester them, but turned around and left with his men. On the way, someone asked him: "Military Advisor, those people are too arrogant. They are just a city, but they dare to be so rude to us. Why don't you let me teach them a lesson?"
The scholar shook his head and said, "Don't forget, this world is a place where demons and monsters coexist. If they dare to act so arrogantly, they must be either arrogant or have a powerful force behind them. We are few in number and should not clash with them, otherwise we may not be able to leave that place."
One guard still didn't care and said, "Even if they have a force behind them, so what? We have forces behind us too. I'll report this to the leader when I get back!"
The scholar frowned slightly: These guards said they were protecting me and obeying my orders. They called me military advisor on the surface, but in fact they have no respect for me at all. Now they even want to skip me and report to the leader directly. It's really hateful!
Although he was unhappy, he had no choice. After all, the other party was powerful. He was just a scholar who was powerless. If he didn't have some brains, he would have died in the chaos. Alas!
