Patriarch of Wanjiao

Chapter 548: Refining the Eight Treasures Sutra Pillar! A Visitor from the Apocalypse Palace (Two in One)

The Dinghai Shenzhenzhu is no ordinary magic weapon.

Even the Sangha King Dharmakaya regarded it as an opportunity for enlightenment, and wanted to transform it into the twenty-four gods to entrust his body to attain enlightenment and become a god.

Zhao Xuantan is even more ambitious. He wants to turn the magic pearl into nothingness, seal it with magic, and integrate it with his body. Once he succeeds, he will have boundless magic power and supernatural powers, and he will immediately stand out among thousands of cultivators.

In fact, with his current strength, even the Chaos Sword Type does not dare to touch him lightly. If he can make one more step forward, the whole world will be shocked.

However, he has grown too fast, and to have reached this point is all thanks to the great cause and effect of Li Motian. If he does not slow down and consolidate his foundation at this time, but instead is eager for quick success and quick profits, wanting to go further will probably backfire.

"No matter how great the calamity is, I can help you to avoid it...but you still have to walk the road ahead by yourself..."

Li Mo spoke softly, the implication of his words was obvious. No matter what kind of disaster Zhao Xuantan encountered, Li Mo could help him bear it, but once he took the wrong path, there would be no turning back.

"I understand. Teacher, I will always remember your kindness."

Zhao Xuantan bowed and felt a lot more relaxed and happy. He soon realized that he was improving too quickly and was obsessed with the pleasure brought by the increase in strength, and he almost fell into the devil's way.

“Those who follow the path of evil break the conventions and take an alternative path… People in the world are short-sighted, take shortcuts, and indulge themselves. The slightest deviation will lead to eternal damnation. How can they make it to the end?” Li Mo said calmly.

"There are thousands of paths to spiritual practice, but they all lead to the same destination. To follow an alternative path requires great perseverance, wisdom, and courage..."

"Those who enter the devil's way will see the truth to the utmost. Only one out of ten million will survive, and the rest will be nothing but ashes."

In Li Mo's opinion, the true devil's path is more difficult to walk than that of ordinary people. People are superficial and think that this is a shortcut to practice. In order to pursue power, they step into it, but they don't know that just this one thought will lead to eternal damnation.

Just like Hua Liubing, who was intoxicated by the power brought by Dharmazang, but did not know that she had already lost herself in the power of controlling lust. She was already in the abyss, so how could she transcend it?

A true demon master is one who enters the devil without being a demon, has no way but keeps the way, indulges himself, controls himself, and transcends himself...

This is what is truly terrifying.

There was once a mad monk in Buddhism who cursed Buddha and his ancestors, ate meat and drank wine all day long, and behaved in a perverse and eccentric manner. However, he practiced in the secular world and obtained great Buddhist teachings, and finally achieved enlightenment.

He once said, "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart. If people in the world try to imitate me, it would be like entering the path of evil."

"Teacher, why do you feel this way?"

At this moment, Zhao Xuantan couldn't help but ask, bringing Li Mo back to his senses.

“I heard you talk about the Great Catastrophe of Ten Thousand Souls…Since ancient times, there have been many evil treasures appearing in the world. They can be evil for a while, but not for a lifetime…” Li Mo said indifferently.

He believed that if someone came across a great opportunity and obtained a treasure, he would emerge as a rising star and dominate the world for a while.

But if someone said that this person could rely on the treasure to rule an era, he would never believe it. If this was true, then it was not the magic weapon that was powerful, but the person.

“The Demon Ancestor of Ten Thousand Souls… He should be a truly powerful demon.” Li Mo sighed.

"The Ten Thousand Souls Demon Ancestor flashed for a moment, like a shooting star, leaving behind the most brilliant brilliance. He dominated the world and practiced for three hundred years. From then on, no one could surpass this monument..."

"Everything about him remains a mystery to this day." Zhao Xuantan whispered.

In this world, for most people, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Souls is just a legend.

"Li Mo..."

At this moment, Shen Qingge suddenly spoke. She looked at Li Mo and asked with some uncertainty.

"The method you just used... was the Eight Treasures Sutra Pillar!?"

Golden light was everywhere and suddenly Buddhist sounds were heard. Such power was completely different from Li Mo's.

The evil Prajnaparamita perished in the vast ocean, and the [Eight Treasures Sutra Pillar] also disappeared without a sound, never to be seen again.

"Qingge, although you had no chance to enter the Xuantian Immortal Sect, your cultivation has improved a lot, and you have a sharp vision." Li Mo nodded.

After the great battle in the sea, he subdued the [Eight Treasures Sutra Pillar] and suppressed it in his body.

"As expected... you can even suppress that thing!"

Although he had guessed it long ago, Shen Qingge couldn't help but reveal a strange look when he heard Li Mo's answer.

You should know that the Eight Treasures Sutra Pillar is not an ordinary treasure, but a [Royal Grade Holy Weapon], and it was made by the King of Monks, so it has great power.

Even if the evil Prajna has been destroyed, this magic weapon cannot be suppressed by ordinary people.

"The risk is not small..." Fang Yuan frowned.

"You're right."

Li Mo nodded. In fact, he couldn't act casually in his current situation. To suppress a king-grade holy weapon was extremely risky. Not only did he need strength like mountains and seas, but he also needed to resist the summons of the monk king at all times.

“If this wasn’t the Xuantian Immortal Gate, the Monk King would have called back the [Eight Treasures Sutra Pillar] long ago.” Li Mo said in a deep voice.

Xuantian Immortal Gate is the magic weapon left by Li Zu. It separates the inner and outer worlds, so the summons of the Monk King is greatly weakened.

Otherwise, even with Li Mo's current strength, he would not be able to suppress this [Eight Treasures Sutra Pillar].

"You killed the Dharmakaya of the Sangha King and suppressed the Eight Treasures Sutra Pillar... I really don't know if you can walk out alive."

Shen Qingge felt his scalp tingling just thinking about it, and began to worry about Li Mo.

Killing the Dharmakaya of the Sangha King is equivalent to cutting off his hope of making further progress. Such great hatred cannot be eliminated even by death.

Not to mention, he now regards the [Eight Treasures Sutra Pillar] as a trophy and suppresses it in his body.

Such behavior is simply a provocation.

Although top-grade holy weapons are hard to find in the world, such an opportunity is not so easy to digest.

"You want to refine the [Eight Treasures Sutra Pillar], but I'm afraid it's unlikely."

Fang Yuan saw what Li Mo was thinking, shook his head and advised him to give up the delusion.

The holy soldiers are divided into five major levels, and the small holy soldiers can reach beyond the sky.

The Great Sage Soldiers can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice independently.

The innate holy weapon gave birth to a trace of instinct and will.

As for the king-grade holy soldiers, the reason they are called the king is that their divine power is so vast and indelible.

Even if the world is in turmoil and only a tenth of its original state remains, it can still slowly recover and regenerate as time goes by.

For Li Mo to refine such a king-grade holy weapon is almost impossible than ascending to heaven. Not to mention, if he really starts to refine it, the Monk King will definitely sense it. At that time, it is unknown if a killing calamity will really befall him.

"If we find a place where the connection with the outside world is the weakest... maybe we can cut off the monk king's perception."

Li Mo thought about it and was unwilling to give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

His Qingping Sword was originally an innate holy weapon. He didn't know how many opportunities it had taken to grow to its current level. After entering the Xuantian Immortal Gate, he refined many Dharma treasures. Now it has reached a critical juncture.

If the Qingping Sword could refine the [Eight Treasures Sutra], it would definitely be able to break through the bottleneck, step into a higher level, and reach the rank of king grade.

"You are playing with fire." Fang Yuan shook his head.

In his opinion, the Eight Treasures Sutra Pillar was simply a hot potato. Others were throwing it away fast enough, but Li Mo had already figured out how to eat it.

"Senior, you have come to visit me. I, your junior, would like to see you."

At this moment, a loud and clear voice, full of great respect, came from outside the restaurant.

Li Mo's mind moved, and he saw a Taoist standing outside the door with a gourd hanging around his waist, and a young man standing respectfully behind him.

"Someone has come from Tianqi Palace... and it's an acquaintance..." Li Mo smiled.

These two people were not other people, they were the Drunken Gourd Taoist and Ning Jianliu whom they met on the Black Dragon River that day.

The uncle and nephew were both masters of the Tianqi Palace. Ever since that chance encounter, they had been heading eastward along the rivers and seas, searching for Li Mo's whereabouts.

After the battle in Canghai, they followed the scent and finally found Li Mo.

"Li Mo, we shouldn't have too much contact with the natives here."

Shen Qingge frowned slightly, reminding Li Mo of the rules of Xuantian Hall, and at the same time glanced at Zhao Xuantan intentionally or unintentionally.

In fact, Li Mo had already violated a taboo when he accepted the disciple that day, and he didn't know how to get rid of him in the future.

"come in."

Li Mo seemed not to hear and spoke softly.

The next moment, the Drunken Gourd Taoist came in with Ning Jianliu. After meeting again after a long separation, the two of them were no longer as arrogant as last time and bowed to Li Mo.

But they knew that the seemingly young man in front of them actually possessed an astonishing level of cultivation. His battle in the sea was known to the world, and he had quite the style of the former Ten Thousand Souls Demon Ancestor.

There hasn't been such a person in this world for three hundred years.

"Don't be so polite. We are old acquaintances now." Li Mo said indifferently.

Jiuhu Taoist smiled and thought for a moment, organizing his words before speaking: "This time, I am here on behalf of the Palace Master of Tianqi Palace. I hope to invite you to come in person and have a chat in the palace."

"Li Mo..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingge reminded Li Mo without waiting for him to speak.

"it is good."

Li Mo agreed without thinking, and Fang Yuan couldn't help but look at him again because of his decisiveness.

"The teacher is really amazing. Even the almighty Tianqi Palace has to humble itself and come to invite us." Zhao Xuantan couldn't help but sigh.

He was born in this world since he was a child. To all the living beings here, Apocalypse Palace is as big as the sky.

Ordinary people don't even have the qualifications to look up to that kind of existence.

But now, they lowered their posture in front of Li Mo.

"I've heard of the Tianqi Palace for a long time, but I wonder where it is?" Li Mo went straight to the point.

"Tianwai Mountain!"

To others, everything in Tianqi Palace is a secret, but to Li Mo, Jiuhu Taoist dare not hide anything.

"Tianwai Mountain? What place is that?" Li Mo asked.

"The end of the sky, the mountain beyond the mountain..." explained the Jiuhu Taoist.

Going eastward along the sea and reaching the end of the sky, there is a mountain floating on the ocean, connecting heaven and earth.

That is Tianwai Mountain, and also the location of [Tianqi Palace].

"Sure enough."

Li Mo smiled, then stood up and raised his hand to signal.

"Lead the way."

"Senior please."

The Taoist Jiuhu was stunned for a moment. He never expected that this invitation would go so smoothly. He thought that such a senior master would have to be arrogant and shy before condescending to him.

After all, at this level, no matter how famous the Apocalypse Palace is, it means nothing.

"Li Mo, you are too brave. There are also experts among the natives here."

On the way, Shen Qingge secretly transmitted the message, and it was obvious that he was afraid of the mysterious Tianqi Palace.

"You may not know that there are no enlightened people in this world... or rather, this world cannot give birth to enlightened people..."

Li Mo responded secretly, and Fang Yuan and Shen Qingge glanced at each other and felt a little relieved.

"How did you know?" Shen Qingge couldn't help but ask.

"When I suppressed the Eight Treasures Sutra Pillar, I learned some secrets." Li Mo said mysteriously.

The innate holy soldiers have already awakened some instinctive consciousness, let alone the king-grade holy soldiers! ?
In the memory of the Eight Treasures Sutra Pillar, this world is not the real world, and therefore cannot give birth to an enlightened being.

To comprehend the true man is to be able to be called the ancestor of Taoism.

The true master level is the most powerful person in this world.

As for the True King, he can even suppress an entire era, and you may not be able to find just one or two of them in the entire world.

"The true kings in this world are even rarer than those outside." Li Mo said lightly.

How vast is the territory outside? In the real world, the number of true kings that can be born can be counted on one's hands, let alone here?
"The Lord of Apocalypse Palace should be a True King...that's also very terrifying." Shen Qingge was still a little worried.

Although Li Mo killed a peak True King above the sea, she did not think that such means could be used without limits.

If this is true, then the True King would seem too worthless.

"The Lord of Tianqi Palace should be a strong man in the [Tribulation Realm]."

The information Li Mo had was sporadic, and the information about the Apocalypse Palace Master's cultivation was just a memory from three years ago. As for whether he had made a breakthrough now, it was unknown.

The three realms of the True King are to avert disaster, to defy fate, and to attain the ultimate truth.

The Tribulation Transformation Realm is the first level of the True King realm. Anyone who can reach this level is considered a top-notch existence even in the outside world.

At this point, he is even more great like the overlord of heaven and earth.

It is precisely because of this level of cultivation that he was able to sit on the throne of the Palace Master of Tianqi Palace.

"You don't want to refine the Eight Treasures Sutra Pillar in Tianqi Palace, do you?"

At this moment, Fang Yuan looked strange and suddenly asked in a voice transmission.

"You're so smart! What if you are a Chaos Sword Species?" Li Mo laughed.

When he heard where the Apocalypse Palace was, he knew he had guessed correctly. At the end of the sky, there is a mountain beyond the mountain...

That should be the deepest part of Xuantian Immortal Gate, a most important node. The connection there with the outside world should be the weakest point, and even the King of Monks may not be able to sense it.

"Not far ahead is Tianwai Mountain... Senior is one of the only two outsiders who have entered Tianqi Palace in more than three hundred years."

At this moment, the voice of the Taoist Jiuhuo sounded, bringing Li Mo back to his senses.

"Only two? Who was that person before?"

“The Ten Thousand Souls Demon Ancestor!” The Jiuhu Taoist’s voice trembled slightly, revealing a trace of awe: “He is like the senior, and is also a person with great magical powers…”

"Has the Ten Thousand Souls Demon Clan ever been to the Apocalypse Palace?" Li Mo's heart moved, and he subconsciously asked, "What is his real name?"

"Master Ye!!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, and Li Mo had an even weirder look on his face, blurting out the words subconsciously.

"Black Sword!?"
