Chapter 27 - Under the Heavens, Everything Belongs to the Empire

Chapter 27 Under the Heavens, Everything Belongs to the Empire

At this moment, Li Xuanxin had already left the Black Demon Mountain.

However, he could not help but raise his eyebrows.

“This time, the human cultivators near Forest River City suffered heavy losses! Logically speaking, even if these sects don’t know the strength of the Black Devil Mountain, it should be impossible for the Imperial Court to not know the strength of these demons.

“Why did they let these people come to die?”

However, after thinking about it, Li Xuanxin realized that he could not figure it out.

Forget it, he did not want to think about it anymore. He was only a Buddhist monk. Why was he thinking so much?

He should look at his merit first.

After destroying the demons of the Black Devil Mountain, he had obtained another huge harvest. The Merit Golden Lotus had never stopped flashing.

Li Xuanxin placed his attention on the Merit Golden Lotus and was immediately delighted.

970,000 points. It was another huge explosion of points.

“Merit Golden Lotus, increase it for me.”

(270,000 merit points have been spent. Your Water Floating Technique has been raised to the perfected 81st level.)

(700,000 merit points have been spent. The Muscle Strengthening Scripture has been raised to the 60th level.]

Li Xuanxin first raised the Water Floating Technique to the perfected stage. The faster the movement technique, the better. Be it saving people or running for his life, this thing was the best.

He also had to improve the Muscle Strengthening Scripture. After all, this was the backup energy source for his Water Floating Technique and the Tathagata Divine Palm.

After raising the Muscle Strengthening Scripture to the 60th level, Li Xuanxin discovered that the speed at which his body absorbed and digested the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi seemed to have increased greatly. It was about 1.5 times faster than before.

Originally, his cultivation could increase by two years in a day. Now, it was about three years in a day.

Li Xuanxin guessed that if the Muscle Strengthening Scripture reached the perfected 108th level, it might increase his cultivation by four years a day!

“According to this growth, if I can obtain the four great Buddhist scriptures at the same time, can I cultivate for eight years in a day?”

Li Xuanxin could not help but click his tongue.

In that case, wouldn’t he be able to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm in a few years and transcend the tribulation to become a Great Freedom Arhat? It was equivalent to the Dao Sect’s Nine Heavens Ten Earths Mahayana Immortal Lord!

He wondered how his cultivation level would increase at that time.

However, at this moment, Li Xuanxin suddenly sensed a strange force resisting him.

“This is…?!”

Puzzled, Li Xuanxin used the movement technique and began flying in that direction.

Several days later, Forest River City built a memorial temple, mainly to commemorate the cultivators who died in this battle.

City Lord Li Qingshan personally came to mourn. The entire ceremony lasted for about two hours before ending.

After returning, City Lord Li Qingshan and the leader of the Fiend Suppression Division, Baili Tu, left together…

“Lord Baili has done a meritorious deed this time. The Imperial Court will definitely reward you handsomely. Lord Baili’s promotion is just around the corner. I will congratulate you in advance.”

Li Qingshan was the first to speak, but Baili Tu was not too happy.

“Destroying the Black Devil Mountain is indeed a great merit, but this will only allow me to advance a few ranks and obtain some cultivation resources.”

“Hehehe, Lord Baili has eliminated the famous Old Devil Black Mountain of the Shu State’s East County this time. You have resolved the problem for my Forest River City, the Blue Sea City, and the other major cities. You will definitely obtain a lot of rewards. Why do I feel that Lord Baili doesn’t seem to be in the mood?”

“Of course.” Baili Tu spoke again, “If it was before, I would definitely be satisfied. But now, I can obtain a better reward, so I naturally don’t care about these things.”

“Oh? Lord Baili, you mean…?”

“It’s that Sacred Monk!”

When he spoke of the other party, Baili Tu’s expression clearly revealed shock and anticipation.

“Lord Baili, are you talking about the Sacred Monk who used the Immovable Wisdom King’s Nine Words True Sun Technique and saved all of you?”

“That’s right! It’s him!”

A light flashed in Baili Tu’s eyes.

“The Great Zhou Emperor has always been looking for talent. Especially for these hidden experts who are not famous but have extremely strong cultivation levels, he can’t wait to see them!”

“This person’s cultivation is extremely strong. If we can recruit him to the Imperial Court, His Majesty will definitely reward me greatly. It will far exceed the reward for destroying Black Devil Mountain.”

“But the problem is that the other party’s cultivation is extremely strong. He probably won’t agree so easily, right? If we anger him, I’m afraid it won’t end well for us. I think we shouldn’t take too many risks.”

“What are you afraid of? I naturally know. If a hidden expert like him wanted to come out, he would have done so long ago. He wouldn’t have waited until now to come out of seclusion.”

“However, since I’ve discovered him, it’s not up to him anymore.”

“Under the heavens, everything belongs to the emperor.”

“Since he is a member of the Great Zhou, he should be loyal to the Imperial Court.”

“Even if I have to use all my methods, I will think of a way to lure him out and make him join the Imperial Court.”

“This… Then I wish Lord Baili success. Unfortunately, I’m not strong enough and don’t have any ambitions. I won’t interfere in the matters of such an expert. I still have some matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave first.”

With that, Li Qingshan decisively bid farewell.

Baili Tu was behind him. Looking at his departing figure, he could not help but spit.

“Coward! I originally wanted to give you a chance to participate. Since you don’t know how to appreciate my kindness, I’ll take all the credit myself!”

At the same time, in the West of Great Zhou, on Kunlun Mountain, a young and handsome figure walked towards the hall of the Immeasurable Sect with his hands behind his back.

The surrounding disciples who were practicing sword techniques stopped and cupped their hands.

“Senior Tianlin.”

“Greetings, Senior Tianlin.”

He placed his hands behind his back and nodded slightly. He wandered among the crowd and did not stop.

Some new disciples said with envy,

“Could he be our Immeasurable Sect’s Senior Ji Tianlin? The existence ranked second on the Talent Ranking?”

The senior brothers and sisters beside him smiled and replied,

“That’s right! It’s him!”

“In the past, I only knew that Senior Tianlin was ranked second on the Talent Ranking. Now, I didn’t expect Senior Tianlin to be so handsome.”

“If I can win Senior Tianlin’s favor in this life, I won’t have any regrets!”

Under the envy of everyone, Ji Tianlin quickly arrived at the Immeasurable Sect’s hall. From afar, he already smiled and said,

“Master, why did you suddenly summon me?”

“West Shu has discovered a powerful Buddhist monk.”

“Oh?”

Ji Tianlin was a little surprised.

“Why do you say that?”

“He knows how to use the Immovable Wisdom King’s Nine Words True Sun Technique to kill the thousand-year-old Ghost General-Old Devil Black Mountainand hundreds of thousands of vengeful spirits. Do you know why I’m looking for you now?”

Ji Tianlin nodded.

“Got it. It’s time to start bootlicking again.”

The old man shook his head speechlessly at Ji Tianlin.

“You have a noble status. As the second prince of the Great Zhou, how can you speak so crudely?”

After a pause, he spoke again.

“Your forces can’t compare to the Eldest Prince, Ji Tiandao. The various sects in the world only follow the orders of the Emperor. The Emperor is also extremely afraid of the princes and has roped in the various sects in the world.”

“Apart from the Immeasurable Sect, you have no other background.”

“If you don’t rope in these hidden experts, how can you be Ji Tiandao’s match in the future?”

“Don’t worry, I understand.”

“It’s good that you understand. Let’s go immediately.”

“The Emperor is also desperate for talent. He will definitely send someone to find that senior monk. You have to find him before he does.”

“I have a Bodhi Bead here. It was given to me by my good friend from the Bodhi Temple, Master Bodhi.”

“It has a strong Buddhist nature. If there are Buddhist experts nearby, it will remind you.”

“However, you can only go for a year and a half at most. You have to return and prepare for the Great Zhou Martial Dao Meeting. Remember that!”

“Yes, thank you, Master.”

Ji Tianlin took the Bodhi Bead and used the Immeasurable Sect’s Six Armor Divine Movement Technique. He instantly vanished and rushed towards West Shu.
