The Reincarnated Buddha! (4K)

"Halt! This is the Taihua Sacred Ground."

Wu De, who was guarding the mountain gate, stopped Zhao Wuyan and Shangguan Zhao'er. He glanced at the two of them briefly and found that one was Nine Layers Earth Immortal and the other was a preliminary Golden Immortal.

"We've come to see Lu Changsheng; we're his friends."

"What? Please wait a moment, I will send someone to inform the Holy Son Candidate immediately."

Upon hearing that he was Lu Changsheng's friend, Wu De quickly tried to curry favor with him.

A short while later, Xiao Fan arrived at the mountain gate. "My two senior uncles, please follow me."

"I never expected to have the opportunity to enter the Holy Land. Immortal Maiden, would it be possible to become friends?"

Zhao Wuyan looked around curiously, occasionally greeting the Immortal Maiden of Taihua Sacred Ground, which drew many eye rolls from them.

"Senior Brother Zhao and Shangguan Senior Sister Shangguan must have foreseen that a calamity would befall the vicinity of Mount Shu."

Lu Changsheng's voice came from the palace, followed by his figure.

"Junior Brother Lu!"

Shangguan Zhao'er was overjoyed to see Lu Changsheng.

"Junior Brother Lu, how did you know we were here? Do you also know divination techniques?"

Zhao Wuyan was surprised.

"Recently, I began cultivating the Time Principle to calculate the Fortune of Mount Shu. I discovered a great omen of disaster, and the danger lies not in Accumulated Thunder Mountain, but in a place below called Yuncang Kingdom."

Lu Changsheng cultivated the "Eternal Sacred Canon," gaining a glimpse into the Time Dao and being able to deduce Fortune.

Shangguan Zhao'er said, "The Yuncang Kingdom is located at the border of Accumulated Thunder Mountain and Dong'ao Mountain. The emperor is a Heavenly Immortal, but he is unremarkable and has nothing special about him. The Yuncang Kingdom also does not have any special Cultivation Resources. I don't know why there was Calamity?"

"This matter is indeed strange. We might as well go to the Yuncang Kingdom and investigate. I predict that the calamity will not occur for about twenty years. Why don't you stay here and cultivate for now? Here are Immortal Pill for your cultivation."

Lu Changsheng took out two purple-gold gourds and handed them to Shangguan Zhao'er and Zhao Wuyan.

"Hahaha, with this batch of Immortal Pill, I can break through to the Earth Immortal Realm!"

Zhao Wuyan was just one step away from becoming Heavenly Immortal.

With Lu Changsheng providing Cultivation Resources, he managed to push Zhao Wuyan aptitude was by no means high, to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

"Junior brother, I didn't expect your understanding of the Time Principle to surpass mine. Let me ask you a question: have you ever calculated your own destiny?"

Shangguan Zhao'er knew that Lu Changsheng had high aptitude, but she did not expect that Lu Changsheng would master the art of divination so quickly.

"Can't figure it out."

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

He could not foresee his own fate, nor could he foresee the fate of beings Lin Xuantong, whose realms were far superior to his own.

"Just as I thought."

Shangguan Zhao'er secretly calculated Lu Changsheng's Fortune and found it to be blank, which now confirms her thoughts.

Shangguan Zhao'er and Zhao Wuyan stayed in the Taihua Sacred Ground to cultivate.

Twenty years later, in the capital of the Yuncang Kingdom, the streets were bustling with activity, and the city was deserted as everyone flocked to see a handsome man riding a tall horse. He had wings in his hair, wore a brocade robe, and was adorned with a red cross flower. He held a golden whip in his hand, and wherever he went, people cheered with envy.

Every hundred years, the Yuncang Kingdom holds an examination to assess literary talent and cultivation aptitude. Only those who excel in both literature and martial arts can stand out, and the top scorer becomes the Zhuangyuan (状元), who is paraded through the streets on horseback.

The top scholar in the imperial examination can at least become the lord of a city, and might even become a high-ranking official in the Yuncang Kingdom's court.

The current prime minister of the Yuncang Kingdom is a master at the Earth Immortal Realm Ninth Layer, and is a former top scholar in the imperial examinations.

The newly crowned top scholar rode his horse to the foot of the prime minister's mansion, gazing admiringly at a woman on the Pavilion. Beside her stood a middle-aged man dressed in a deep purple silk robe.

"My student Chen Yi, although he is only at the Golden Core Realm now, has the potential to become Heavenly Immortal, and his literary talent is exceptional. Daughter, you and he are Childhood Sweethearts with a deep bond. I intend to betroth you to him and groom him to become the next prime minister. What do you say?"

The middle-aged man greatly admired the top scholar below, as if he saw his younger self in him.

The prime minister's daughter also took a liking to the top scholar below, and said shyly with her head bowed, "I will leave everything to my father."

"Okay, okay."

Just as the middle-aged man was overjoyed, he suddenly noticed several monks emerging from the crowd and heading towards the top scholar.

One of the monks put his hands together in prayer and said to the top scholar, "Amitabha, you have an affinity with our Buddhist Sect. Why not set aside worldly affairs and take refuge in the Buddhist Sect?"

The top scholar Chen Yi was stunned. What was going on with these monks?

He achieved the highest rank in the imperial examination, riding high on success and enjoying the glory of Chang'an. At the height of his fame, why are these Senior Buddhist Monks trying to persuade him to convert to the Buddhist Sect?

"Hmph, men, get rid of these bald monks!"

The Prime Minister of the Yuncang Kingdom was greatly displeased. He had just chosen a husband for his daughter, and now several Senior Buddhist Monks were trying to persuade his future son-in-law to convert to the Buddhist Sect?

What will become of his daughter in the future?

It's good enough that he didn't personally kill those bald monks!

A group of the Void Refinement Realm appeared, attempting to capture the monks.

These monks, possessing great Law Powers, were about to resist when the leader stopped them. "This benefactor's worldly ties are not yet severed; we cannot force him to join the Buddhist Sect."

After the monks were driven away, Chen Yi was still completely confused, not knowing where they came from.

"Master Wule, the people of this city are saying that on the day this top scholar was born, there were extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, with great chanting of Buddhist Chant scriptures and celestial maidens scattering flowers. This person is very likely the reincarnated Buddha we are looking for."

"Even if he truly is the reincarnation of Buddha, we cannot force him; otherwise, he will not sincerely convert to the Buddhist Sect and will find it difficult to achieve the same level of spiritual attainment as in his previous life."

"Then we still need to report this matter to our superiors."

"Can."

The Divine Monk Wule was only at the Earth Immortal Realm and did not hold a high position in Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, so he had no authority.

Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple dispatched over a thousand masters to search far and wide for reincarnated Buddhas, and there were many people who seemed to be reincarnations of the Buddha.

Three days later, in the capital of the Yuncang Kingdom, the Prime Minister's residence held a grand banquet to welcome guests from all directions as he sought a son-in-law. The event was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers.

The prime minister's son-in-law was the top scholar of this year's imperial examination, and he and the prime minister's daughter were a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

In the Imperial Palace of the Yuncang Kingdom, the emperor of the Heavenly Immortal Realm was reviewing memorials.

Suddenly, he looked up, his thick brows furrowing.

Outside the Imperial Palace, suddenly, demonic clouds surged.

Ordinary people and some Xiuzhenzhe level is not high enough would definitely think it was just an ordinary black cloud.

But he was Heavenly Immortal Realm expert and had already realized that something was wrong.

He moved swiftly, appearing atop the palace roof in the next instant, his expression grave. "What's with this demonic cloud? How can it be so powerful? It's as if World-Overturning King is ruling this land..."

"Citywide martial law, activate the protective array!"

The majestic voice of the Emperor of the Yuncang Kingdom resounded throughout the city. The Imperial Guards immediately sealed off all city walls and streets, and the city's protective array was activated, enveloping the entire city.

The bustling Prime Minister's residence suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared in terror at the pitch-black Firmament above, at a loss for what to do.

They didn't even know what had happened.

The prime minister stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the Firmament. He saw an iron rod crashing down from the midst of the demonic clouds.

The iron rod gradually grew to the size of a palace before striking the city's protective array.

Boom!

The entire city was as if it had been struck by a magnitude 8 earthquake; houses collapsed, and lives were lost!

The city's protective formation could not withstand a single blow and shattered.

The emperor, the Chancellor, and the Rogue Cultivators within the city were filled with despair.

Great Demon capable of shattering the city's protective array with a single blow is definitely not someone they can afford to provoke.

The Emperor of the Yuncang Kingdom activated his Cultivation Method, his voice booming like thunder. "What kind of demon are you, and why do you dare to attack our Yuncang Kingdom?"

"Hahaha, I can come and go as I please."

A king ape emerged from the demonic clouds, its Divine Eyes sweeping over the entire city, seemingly searching for someone.

From within the oppressive demonic clouds, countless Demon Monkeys appeared, chirping and squeaking incessantly.

"God, the Divine Ape King!"

The emperor of the Yuncang Kingdom recognized the Demon King's identity and was greatly alarmed.

The Divine Ape King is an eighth-level Golden Immortal, whose strength far surpasses that of all the experts in the Yuncang Kingdom!

Before the Divine Ape King, the Emperor of the Yuncang Kingdom was like an ant trying to shake a tree; he couldn't muster even the slightest thought of resistance, "Divine Ape King, our Yuncang Kingdom and your Dong'ao Mountain have never interfered with each other. Please spare us. We are paying tribute to Mount Shu; surely you wouldn't want to embarrass Mount Shu."

"The Mount Shu Sect Master killed my brother. I will avenge him sooner or later. Die!"

The Divine Ape King, with his cruel nature, struck again, the Middle-Grade Sacred Artifact like a mountain, crashing down on the Emperor of the Yuncang Kingdom.

"No!"

The Divine Ape King's Law Treasure arrived too quickly; the Emperor of the Yuncang Kingdom was unable to withstand it and was beaten to a Body and Spirit Annihilation by the iron rod!

Boom!

The iron rod also destroyed the Imperial Palace, and the ministers and guards were wiped out like ants.

Among the Seven Great Demon Kings, the Divine Ape King's strength is second only to the World-Overturning King and the Nine-Spirit King. In the eyes of these rogue Rogue Cultivators from small Immortal Realm kingdoms, he is like a god.

Suddenly, the divine light emanating from the eyes of the Divine Ape King enveloped the Prime Minister's residence.

"You all run! I'll hold him off!"

The Prime Minister of the Yuncang Kingdom sensed the killing intent of the Divine Ape King, so he sent a telepathic message to his daughter and Chen Yi, telling them to escape.

Chen Yi took out a Talisman and embraced the prime minister's daughter. He couldn't let his father-in-law down, otherwise his entire family would be killed by the Divine Ape King.

In the eyes of a terrifying being like the Divine Ape King, killing them was as simple as a mortal casually stepping on a few ants.

"Your little tricks can't escape my keen eyes!"

The Divine Ape King vanished from its spot and appeared before the Prime Minister of the Yuncang Kingdom the next instant. Its claws were like Daggers, and before the Prime Minister could react, they had already pierced his throat.

The Prime Minister of the Yuncang Kingdom lost his luster and became a cold corpse.

With a cold flick of his wrist, the corpse of the Prime Divine Ape King Yuncang Kingdom was tossed aside.

"Father!"

The prime minister's daughter, with tears streaming down her face, witnessed her father's tragic death before her eyes, leaving her heartbroken and filled with indignation.

Chen Yi stared intently at the Divine Ape King, determined to avenge his master once he escaped Yuncang Kingdom.

However, even after the Talisman burned and turned to ashes, Chen Yi and his fiancée were still unable to escape the Prime Minister's residence.

"This space has been sealed off by me. How can you, a mere Golden Core Realm cultivator, escape my grasp?"

The Divine Ape King walked step by step toward Chen Yi and his companion.

Chen Yi drew his Long Sword and thrust it at the Divine Ape King.

With a flick of his finger, the Divine Ape King snapped Chen Yi's Long Sword in two, sending him flying like a kite with its string cut.

The gap between the Golden Core Realm and the Golden Immortal Realm is like an insurmountable chasm.

"Puff!"

Chen Yi was seriously injured and in low spirits.

"My lord!"

The prime minister's daughter helped Chen Yi, who was unsteady on his feet.

Suddenly, the Divine Ape King appeared before her, extending his right paw.

Chen Yi struggled and said, "Don't hurt her! I'll let you do whatever you want with me!"

The Divine Ape King coldly replied, "It's too late."

Boom!

A surge of powerful True Qi erupted from his palm, and everything before the Divine Ape King's eyes vanished into thin air!

The prime minister's daughter and hundreds of buildings were destroyed and completely wiped out.

"No!"

Chen Yi knelt on the ground in agony, his expression filled with pain.

His mentor and Childhood Sweethearts all died tragically at the hands of the Divine Ape King.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, look who we've captured alive!"

Several Lesser Yao brought over a man and a woman bound together.

"Father? Mother?!"

Chen Yi's suffering was not over yet. Seeing the man and woman captured alive by the Lesser Yao, he was even more terrified and in pain.

"Yi'er..."

The middle-aged couple probably already knew their fate; they could only look at their son with despair.

"Please, let them go! I'm willing to give anything, just let them go!"

Chen Yi knelt on the ground, almost begging the Divine Ape King.

The Divine Ape King's expression remained indifferent. "The weak don't even have the right to beg."

With a swipe of its right claw, the Divine Ape King killed Chen Yi's parents as well.

You can't...

Chen Yi collapsed to the ground in agony. These were supposed to be the happiest days of his life, but unexpectedly, tragedy struck. His parents, his beloved, and his mentor all died tragically.

Unfortunately, he witnessed everything but was powerless to do anything about it.

Chen Yi's eyes gradually lost their light due to utter despair; at this moment, he desperately craved power.

"You fiend, cease your rampage!"

The Divine Monk Wule arrived with several other monks, and upon witnessing the human tragedy, his face turned ashen.

"People from Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple?" The Divine Ape King's eyes narrowed. "You few Dao cultivation too weak to concern yourselves with my affairs."

"Although we are no match for them, as monks, we are filled with compassion and cannot stand idly by. Om Mani Padme Hum!"

The Buddhist prayer Buddhist Prayer Beads in the hands of the Divine Monk Wule untied and transformed into the golden Six-Syllable Mantra, attempting to suppress the Divine Ape King.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

The Divine Ape King shattered the Buddhist Prayer Beads with a single blow!

The Buddhist Prayer Beads were struck by a tremendous force and scattered in all directions. The Divine Ape King directly shattered the Six-Syllable Mantra with brute force.

The Divine Monk Wule was pale; his Dao cultivation was indeed inferior to that of the Divine Ape King, their levels being worlds apart.

"Master Wule, this demon is extremely powerful. Perhaps we should refrain from provoking it for now and wait for the Buddha of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple to arrive before eliminating it."

The disciples of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, who were with the Divine Monk Wule, were drenched in sweat, overwhelmed by the terrifying power of the Divine Ape King.

The Divine Monk Wule remained silent.

Although standing idly by was not his intention, he truly lacked the strength to deal with the Divine Ape King.

Just when everyone was in utter despair, the space trembled, and Lu Changsheng, along with Zhao Wuyan, Shangguan Zhao'er, and several Disciples, forcibly tore through the sealed space and appeared in this city.

Lu Changsheng appeared less than Hundred Zhangs away from the Divine Ape King, where they stared at each other.

The Divine Ape King's scalp tingled. "How did it get to you?!"
