This realm's Cultivation Method veins, aside from the mainstream Daoist, Buddhist, Demon, and Devil ones, also include a vast number of heterodoxies, numbering in the tens of thousands.
However, few are related to "machines," at most being those like Heavenly Mechanism Building, Puppet Sect, and the Lu Family, which follow the path of ancient ingenuity. These still slightly differ from the Mechanical Species.
Demon Buddha Temple refines the Great Compassionate and Merciful Transcendence Bodhisattva, which in reality is merely treated as a Demon Buddha weapon in the refinement process, not truly specializing in this path.
On the other hand, under his Tao Qian's command was Lian Jing'er—a bona fide Mechanical Species life form.
Mysterious origins!
Mystical methods!
After he had subdued that Alien Species from the Outer Realm, he successfully planted the Creation Virus.
"According to Lian Jing'er, as soon as the Bodhisattva Image integrates, the virus will immediately take effect. With his remote command, even if all the Bodhisattvas cannot be seized, at least a third, or even half, can be taken."
"Moreover, Zhen Buchi's Heart Soul also has memories describing the plans of the Three Arhats: taking advantage of the Dharma Assembly to gather the precious materials, and refining the remaining Bodhisattvas all at once will save much effort. Adding the unrefined Wu Gou Buddha Son into the mix will make things even more convenient."
"Now, we merely await the start of the Dharma Assembly."
"The first two days, Debating Scripture and Demonstration will occur, seemingly uneventful on the surface, but underneath, all are plotting."
"The third day, the confrontation between Cheng Arhat and Great Abyss Zen Master will also be the moment when all parties act, deciding the fate of Qiantang Province, Tiannan Province, and the allegiance of Devil Concubine Yuan Mingzhen."
"Nowadays, the number of Extraordinary Armies inside and outside the provincial city likely exceeds two million... of course, all merely material for refining treasures."
"The real contest, it appears, is only between Demon Buddha Temple, the Tiannan Gao Family, and me hidden in the shadows, with Great Freedom Temple just tagging along."
"The first day I will merely watch, and on the second day, I will make arrangements to drive Demon Buddha Temple to attack Tiannan..."
Inside the Buddhist Temple, Tao Qian, who had just played a trick on Yunrong with the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva, was pondering deep in thought.
Suddenly, at this moment, a shock of change occurred in his Inner Human Dao Fortune, a stirring sensation transmitted.
It turned out to be a message from the merged Zheng Yin within the Heavenly Track: the gathering of the people had been achieved, but a meeting was still required to awe them with his presence as a True Master, to clearly demonstrate his resolve and recruit them as comrades.
Upon receiving the message, Tao Qian paid no heed to the various comments about the Beautiful Corpse's figure from those outside the temple.
Taking Yunrong, he quickly returned to the quiet room as a cover and soon responded to Zheng Yin's Heavenly Track Secret Technique.
With a flash of light, Tao Qian's form silently disappeared from inside the quiet room.
...
When Tao Qian went to meet those comrades from the secret party, outside the Buddhist Temple, the Beautiful Corpse, embarrassed and annoyed by the couple's ruse, rapidly put on her garments, her mind vowing:
"Darn it, if not for this body of mine being hastily matured, unable to restore that Heavenly Demon Buddha Mother Dharma Form in a short time, I would grind that ignorant, lustful couple to dust."
"Hmph, this matter isn't over! I, as the Beautiful Corpse, have always gotten whatever I desire; when have I ever suffered such a disgrace?"
With those thoughts, she hurriedly made her way towards the summit of Golden Light Spiritual Mountain.
There, the place of meditation and enlightenment for the three Arhats, also served as a core place for discussions among all the key figures of the Qiantang Branch Temple of the Demon Buddha Temple.
Previously, when Master Tao heard the name of this temple, he was quite speechless.
But such encounters were too frequent; he had long since become used to them.
That Buddhist Temple named after the auspicious cloud... Little Leiyin Temple.
For others to enter, they must undergo many checks.
But the Beautiful Corpse, being the beloved disciple of Lian Sha Arhat, passed smoothly.
The many demon monks and Monk Officials on Golden Light Mountain had actually all witnessed the embarrassing ordeal of the Beautiful Corpse, but fearing her influence, none dared to speak up, not even in private discussion.

But while they dared not, it did not mean that some guests wouldn't.
—Many were the crude kind, though not openly proclaiming, the murmured comments were inevitable, all piercing into the ears of the Beautiful Corpse:
"Click, who would have thought, such a pure, naïve nun, to actually be such a person?"
"Fooled, weren't you? Whatever wise Miao Shan, clearly it was that Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva in disguise, who had just tried to seduce Wu Gou Buddha Son unsuccessfully and was reprimanded by Miao Yin Bodhisattva; to think, unyielding in her crooked intentions, she then changed her approach to play a throuple courtship, yet again to be made a fool—why bother at all?"
"Heh heh, this old Daoist actually understands the Beautiful Corpse ancestor. Look at those two; a handsome Buddha Son and a dignified Bodhisattva, to mix in with this couple for a bit, I'd gladly give ten years of my life for that."
"Ptui! Take a look at yourself in a puddle of urine, you an ugly Demon Cul...
