"But as for your identity as a Secret Demon Disciple, you needn't have any concerns. Offend whom you wish, trap whom you wish, the All Heavens Secret Demon has never feared any power."
"Just take that girl called Beautiful Corpse, if I remember correctly, she was your old flame when you started out in Southern Yue. Don't worry about her Demon Buddha Witch or Lian Sha Disciple identity, it counts for nothing. You just quietly capture her, then use the 'Secret Demon Buddha Corpse Transformation Technique' to transcend her. You'll immediately get a Female Bodhisattva with a holy exterior and lustful soul inside. Whatever variety you want..."
This speech seemed normal at the beginning, but the latter part instantly revealed Master Yuan's intent to ridicule Tao Qian.
He had laid the groundwork for a long time, just to mock Tao, the Great Master.
"Forget it, Master Yuan has significant backing. If someone were to notice, I wouldn't be able to maintain this disciple identity."
"Master Yuan might be inconvenienced a bit, let's stay inside the bag for a while longer."
As soon as these words were spoken, before Master Yuan could curse his unworthy pupil, Tao Qian had already recalled the sculpture back into the People Species Bag.
Then, he looked earnestly towards the city.
The original appearance of Qiantang Province City was unknown to Tao Qian.
At this moment, his expression instantly turned to astonishment, full of disbelief.
The city was densely packed with neatly arranged golden brick stone houses. Each house, its bricks, eaves, and tiles bore traces of the Buddhist Sect, either engraved with scriptures or featuring Arhat Dharma Images, Bodhisattva statues, or Buddha figures, with Scripture Banners standing tall everywhere. Nearly every corner reverberated with the sounds of bells, wooden fish, and scripture recitations—a multitude of Buddhist sounds transmitted here.
In the city, there were monks, lamas, nuns, Dharma-protecting gods, Buddha beasts... all reciting the Demon Buddha Scripture and extolling the Demon Buddha's name.
A golden river flowed through the city.
Tracing its source, one could see a towering high mountain with clouds at the peak shining golden light over the city.
On the mountain walls, one could see various large and small Buddha statues carved.
On the flat land were countless Buddha Towers, a thousand? Perhaps tens of thousands?
At the highest point, there stood a Zen monastery.
That auspicious cloud of golden light was precisely emanating from this monastery.
Posted on both sides of the monastery were a pair of couplets:
"On the Dharma Door to the Pure Land, rare and valuable, rebirth immediately achieves the Buddhist Way."
"Life in this world, life and death matter greatly, why not hasten to recite the Buddha."
...
"What a Pure Land Buddha City, what an Earthly Buddha Country."
The Demon Buddha Sons assigned to welcome Tao Qian, whether fat, thin, or sleazy, were originally displeased at this bumpkin from the South Sea.
Now hearing his exclamations, they saw his look as if a country bumpkin had entered a city.
They laughed to themselves, feeling less hostility.
They took turns speaking, boasting about themselves.
Their words were flowery, yet they were utterly unaware.
Although Tao Qian was astonished, the killing intent deep in his eyes grew increasingly intense.
With his fierce insight, how could he fail to see that under the thin layer of golden light soil in this magnificent land, reminiscent of the Earthly Buddha Country, lay buried countless mortals' corpses.
It didn't even need to be concealed.
Now, with Tao Qian's spiritual vision activated, he could clearly see that those golden bricks, Buddha soil, gold powder, bells and drums, Buddha Towers... were all cast from the bones and essence blood of the Human Clan mortals.
On the surface, this was a Buddha Country grand city like the Western Heavenly Bliss Land, but it was actually the largest place of strange phenomena and evil land within Qiantang Province. For a better reading experience, visit M(VLEMPYR).
All that was seen was sin.
To entertain esteemed guests from the seventy-two provinces, the city already had Physical Bodhisattvas, Clothesless Heavenly Girls, believers' flesh and blood, kind people's good hearts, etc., all refined and sacrificed.
Tao Qian expended great energy to suppress the raging killing intent in his heart.
Even so, many thoughts rushed wildly in his mind:
"The Heavenly Track guidance received by Zheng Yin is indeed the true wish of All People."
"I absolutely cannot allow 'Cheng Arhat' to set foot in Ultimate Happiness Land. Those old beasts of the alchemists acting as Emperors do indeed see the people as fish and meat, extracting as they wish, but at least they understand some sustainability, not overstepping too much."
"If that perverted meat monk succeeds, expanding this Buddha Country to Tiannan and other neighboring provinces, I fear the Human Clan would truly have no way to live."
"This Earthly Buddha Country, compared to the blood-sucking nation of the alchemists, although both feed on people and drain blood."
"But when truly compared, the former is more terrifying, more shameless."
"Vampire Kingdom, where the masses still know pain, still wail, still know how to save themselves."
"Buddha Country is different, all people are numb, paralyzed by the Demon Buddha Scriptures, Buddha Light, and Buddha Incense, like puppets, sacrificing everything."
"If I don't destroy this Buddha Country, I fear it will hinder the smooth flow of my Dao heart."
...
Those several Demon Buddha Sons, whose saliva flew chaotically, had no idea that the Wu Gou Buddha Son, with an impressive demeanor and tempting appearance, was contemplating exterminating them deep in his heart.
Outwardly very respectful, they led the Buddhist pair to their residence, which was a tranquil Zen monastery planted with Bodhi trees and You Tan flowers, also covered in the soil of Golden Light Buddha Land.
Although these few Demon Buddha Sons had reported their names, Tao Qian couldn't be bothered to remember, each casually dropping a sentence saying,
"Dear Daoists, please rest for a while, gather some energy, for the ritual gathering starts tonight at the time of Hai."
"If you cannot rest, you may call upon the Manager Monk to guide you around the city, where there are many wonderful things and goods which you may freely enjoy."
"You could also go to the Various Treasure Halls, Treasure Platform, where a grand feast is prepared for the guests from various provinces, and there are platforms for competition and demonstration of Dharma, or even the secret markets where exchanges occur."
After speaking, the few Demon Buddha Sons withdrew.
Zhen siblings, along with the group of female cultivators, also made their leave.
After these people left, Yunrong still clung tightly to Tao Qian, even more infatuated than ever.
Seeing Tao Qian's puzzled look, this kitty Bodhisattva confidently said,
"Little brother husband must be careful."
"I see that shameless little bitch has completely set her sights on you."
"Though she cultivates Buddha, the lust emanating from her soul, even tens of miles away, I can smell, such a witch, once she sets her eyes on a prey, will not rest until she has employed every means to get you into bed."
"If she really were your old flame, Yunrong might tolerate it for a bit; but clearly, she is nothing but dirty and stinking. Yunrong will never allow her to touch my husband."
As Yunrong spoke, a dangerously bright gleam clearly flashed in those bewitching eyes.
Tao Qian, hearing this, couldn't help but silently mourn for the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva.
"Turns of fate, one day one way, another the next."
"The Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva who once oppressed me, now perhaps cannot compete with the good wife of Tao."
"In terms of divine powers, in terms of backing, Yunrong completely surpasses the Beautiful Corpse."
Tao Qian thought this in his heart, but outwardly he was quick to agree with Yunrong not to go out.
Meanwhile, he also conveyed his self-praise:
"Dear sister, there's no need to worry, back in Southern Yue, there were many who coveted my body."
"Be it the Beautiful Corpse or Yin Susu, neither succeeded."
Having just finished boasting, Tao Qian, meeting Yunrong's meaningful gaze, then felt that something was slightly amiss with his last two statements.
Just when he was feeling awkward, a knock on the door suddenly came from outside the monastery.
Tao Qian and Yunrong allowed the visitor to enter, and the next moment, a breathtakingly beautiful nun, leading a group of robust demon monks and nuns, entered the monastery, each holding an item covered with cloth that faintly emitted treasure light and fragrance.
The nun seemed a bit older than Yunrong, with a graceful figure. Despite wearing a flowing black robe, her mature and alluring figure was not completely concealed.
And yet her face carried a kind of naive demeanor, like a naturally dumb mature nun.
Anyone who saw her would inevitably give her a few extra glances.
Tao Qian did, and Yunrong did even more so.
In fact, Yunrong looked even more intently, her eyes glowing as if wanting to strip the clothes off the nun's body.
As the two of them examined the nun, they saw her put her palms together in greeting, respectfully saying,
"Poor Nun Miao Shan, by my master's command, comes to offer some Buddha Treasures and Sublime Dharma to the Wu Gou Buddha Son."
"My master instructed, saying Buddha Son, with unmatched divine powers, unparalleled Dharma Eye, having successively destroyed the Evil Country, Joyful Forest, Hidden Mountain, Emancipation City, and Corpse Mud Ridge these five evil lands, must have acquired the treasures hidden within these evil lands."
"To inform Buddha Son, these five Buddha Treasures, while all splendid items, are all innately formed and still uncarved, thus incomplete."
"To complete them, one must utilize our Demon Buddha Magic to refine them."
"Poor Nun is here to bestow upon Buddha Son five methods, to aid Buddha Son in refining treasures, so when the day comes for Qingjing Zen Master to establish a separate branch of the Buddhist Sect, these five treasures will be of great use."
