Zongwu: Storytelling makes you stronger, and female knights compete to be maids

What a horrifying thing this is.

Even though they had never heard of the moon.

Although they also couldn't understand what the moon was.

But they all had a strange feeling in their hearts - this world seemed to be missing something.

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion in the hall:

"What a terrifying Heavenly Book of Enlightenment! No wonder the Xiling Temple has always suppressed the Wasteland Demon Sect."

"I originally thought this Ming scroll must be extraordinary, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful. It's truly astonishing."

"I see! No wonder the High Priest of Xiling rebelled against the Temple a thousand years ago because of the foresight of the Eternal Night in the Heavenly Book of Mingzi."

"It is hard to imagine that all future events in the world are recorded in a single heavenly book."

"Did you understand what Mr. Su said about the moon? I've never heard of it.

Is the moon the sun at night? How is that possible? I simply cannot imagine it.”

"I don't understand what the moon is, but I feel it is extremely important."

"It seems that Yu Lian has indeed taken the Heavenly Book of Enlightenment to the Tang Dynasty Academy. The Demon Sect only has fragments of the scroll at most."

"The Tang Dynasty Academy is probably in trouble. Even if the Xiling Divine Temple no longer wants to be hostile to the Tang Dynasty Academy, they will definitely fall out over the Heavenly Book of Enlightenment."

The first elegant room on the south side of the third floor.

A gleam of light flashed in Ye Hongyu's eyes. She didn't expect the truth to be like this.

The Heavenly Book of Bright Characters was three times more terrifying than she had expected.

And she remembered Su Chen's last comment even more: whoever can comprehend the Heavenly Book of Mingzi will be able to become one of the world's top powerful people.

This made Ye Hongyu's desire for the Heavenly Book of Mingzi Scroll even stronger.

"This book should be in the Tang Dynasty Academy now, right? It seems the time for all the nations to unite and attack the Tang Dynasty is not far off."

Ye Hongyu murmured softly, as if he had foreseen the coming storm.

With the appeal of the Xiling Temple, as long as one order is given, more than ten countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty will respond and send their troops directly to the Tang Dynasty.

This is the consequence of being an enemy of the Xiling Temple.

On the white jade high platform.

Su Chen sipped his tea leisurely, his eyes fixed on the popularity panel in front of him. The number was rising rapidly, and his mood became happier.

The exposure of the ultimate secret of the Haotian world this time caused his popularity to soar by nearly three million in one go, which can be regarded as a great victory.

At this rate, the completion of the six-star mission is in sight.

With this in mind, Su Chen didn't wait for everyone to finish their discussion and spoke directly: "Next, let's comment on the next True Demon on the list."

"Tenth on the True Demon Ranking, Lian Sheng thirty-second."

“He’s a very contradictory and thought-provoking character.”

"Although Su mentioned it before, it was just the tip of the iceberg."

"He was born into a noble family in the State of Song. He was born holding a water lily in his hand, hence the name Lian Sheng."

"The lotus is a symbol of purity in Buddhism, representing the Buddha nature. However, the family that Lian Sheng belongs to is affiliated with the Wasteland Demon Sect, and their families have been members of the Demon Sect for generations."

"Therefore, his life was destined to be full of tragedy and he could not escape his fate."

"He once had a wife and a loving family."

"But his wife realized that the Lian family secretly belonged to the Demon Sect, and was eventually brutally murdered by Lian Sheng's father."

"Lian Sheng pondered for a night at his wife's grave, trying to comprehend the truth of the Haotian world. He finally made up his mind to embark on the path of cultivation."

"Afterwards, he traveled the world, visiting all the major sects. He debated with the abbot of Lan Ke Temple for thirty-two days, and his fame spread far and wide."

"Even the Xiling Divine Temple invited him to serve as a guest official, but Lian Sheng politely declined."

"He chose to convert to Buddhism and was ordained as a monk at Lanke Temple. From then on, he was known as Liansheng Sanshier."

"Not long after, Lian Sheng was invited to preach at the Xiling Temple. During this time, he killed several Demon Sect elders lurking in the temple."

"The then Xiling Sect Master admired him very much and wanted to invite him to serve as the Temple's High Priest of Judgment, but Lian Sheng still declined."

"He then returned to Lanke Temple and killed several more Demon Sect elders hiding in the Buddhist sect. From then on, he became the Dharma Protector of the Buddhist sect."

"The Xiling Divine Temple extended an invitation to him for the third time. Lian Sheng couldn't refuse the invitation and ultimately became the High Priest of Judgment."

"With this identity, he was able to enter the most secret place of Xiling Temple and read the seven volumes of the Heavenly Book."

"Su once said that the seven volumes of the Heavenly Book contain the ultimate secrets of the Haotian World."

“There are only a few people in this world who can glimpse its true meaning, and Lian Sheng is one of those few.”

"He glimpsed a glimpse of the true nature of the Haotian world from the Heavenly Book, and thus began to doubt the Dao Sect."

"Afterwards, he returned to the Demon Sect and discovered that was his true home."

"With his astonishing comprehension, he actually re-comprehended the Demon Sect's lost Taotie Demonic Art, which had been lost for a hundred years."

"From then on, Lian Sheng became the High Priest of the Demon Sect, and was even close to the position of Sect Master at one point."

"This is Lian Sheng, a peerless genius who practices Buddhism, Taoism, and Demonism, and possesses the gift of knowing all things."

"Although he hasn't broken through to the seventh realm, he has cultivated the three schools' techniques to the peak of the sixth realm, and his combat power far exceeds that of ordinary seventh realm masters."

"So far, Lian Sheng's cultivation path has been smooth sailing. If he can integrate the power of the three schools and break through the seventh realm in the future, he may become a great figure like Lu Zu."

"Unfortunately, Lian Sheng encountered the greatest calamity of his life—Ke Haoran."

"In a sense, they are very similar."

"Ke Haoran is crazy, Lian Sheng is insane."

"Ke Haoran, possessed by his sword, was unbridled and unrestrained, pointing straight to the heavens, looking down upon the world with disdain."

"Lian Sheng sought Buddha through demons, realized Tao through Buddha, and returned to demons through Tao. He practiced all three schools and was the wisest and bravest person in the world."

"In the Haotian world, they are two different species. Both of them see through the world and dare to go against Haotian."

“If the two of them could fight side by side, even Haotian would be wary.”

"But Lian Sheng repeatedly struggled between Buddhism and the devil, and eventually fell into the devil's way. Out of jealousy, he secretly set up a trap to deal with Ke Haoran."

"It is said that one thought can make you a Buddha, and one thought can make you a devil."

"Lian Sheng fell completely into the abyss because of a single thought, trapped in a cage for the rest of his life, with no chance of escape."

"Therefore, based on comprehensive evaluation, he is temporarily ranked ninth on the Supreme True Demon List."

As Su Chen finished speaking, everyone in the hall couldn't help but sigh.

There is no doubt that Lian Sheng is a rare genius in the world. He has the gift of "knowing all the laws" and his talent is almost comparable to Lu Zu.

But he is destined to be a tragic figure.

Born into a family of demonic sects, he was born with a holy water lily from Buddhism.

At the age of 20, he could debate with the abbot at Lanke Temple for 32 consecutive days without losing.

Xiling Temple had invited him three times.

He almost became the leader of the Demon Sect.

It would be difficult for an ordinary person to achieve such an achievement in his entire life, but for Lian Sheng, it seemed like a piece of cake.

It is precisely because of this ability to make light of heavy tasks that Lian Sheng gradually loses his correct understanding of himself.

He could no longer tolerate the existence of a genius more amazing than him.

However, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world.

Although there is Lian Sheng who knows everything in the world, there is also Ke Haoran who goes against the will of heaven.

Originally, Lian Sheng had the opportunity to become close friends with Ke Haoran and fulfill their ambition of exploring the Haotian world together.

One man uses his sword to become a demon and reaches the supreme sword realm.

One person integrated Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism into one, becoming a peerless powerhouse comparable to Lu Zu.

With these two people joining forces, even Haotian would have trouble sleeping peacefully.

Unfortunately, Lian Sheng ruined everything with his own hands due to his momentary obsession, and ultimately ruined himself. A genius of his generation fell halfway.

For a moment, everyone in the hall started discussing:

"Lian Sheng is a tragic figure. Born into the Demon Sect, he cannot escape the shackles of fate."

"If Lian Sheng had not come from the Demon Sect, he would have been a high-ranking Buddhist monk or a Taoist master by now."

"Is this Lian Sheng? He practices Buddhism, Taoism, and Demonism. Although he hasn't reached the seventh realm, his combat power is enough to crush ordinary seventh realm masters."

“This person possesses the essence of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism, and can be regarded as a simplified version of Lu Zu.

If he could continue to cultivate, even if he could not reach the level of Lü Zu, he would surely become a great leader."

"It's a pity that he offended someone he shouldn't have offended—Ke Haoran's level of insubordination is far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people."

"In a single thought, one can enter Buddhism or fall into the devil's way. In the end, Lian Sheng failed to keep his original intention."

……

The seventh elegant room on the east side of the third floor.

"Taotie Demonic Art? I never thought that this magic art, which has been lost for a hundred years, would be re-comprehended by Lian Sheng."

Film queen Zhu Yuyan narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke in a serious tone.

Bai Qing'er asked curiously, "Master, is this 'Taotie Demonic Art' very powerful? Why have I never heard of it?"

"We in the Great Sui Demon Sect practice the 'Heavenly Demon Strategy' passed down by the Demon Emperor."

"It's normal that you haven't heard of the Taotie Demonic Art."

"But hundreds of years ago, this magic skill was renowned throughout the martial arts world. The Wasteland Demon Sect's two most powerful magic skills were the 'Twenty-Three Years Cicada' and the 'Taotie Magic Skill'."

"This skill can devour the internal strength and martial arts attainments of others. Anyone who has mastered it will become a terrifying demon."

"Even in the Demon Sect's thousand-year history, there are only a handful of people who have mastered this skill."
