An Unexpected Disciple: My Disciple Is an Ancient Buddha! (4K)

[Ding, the system has found a suitable Disciple for you... One has been found.]

[Ding, the system has found a suitable Disciple named Chen Yi.]

Lu Changsheng tore through space and appeared in the Yuncang Kingdom. The Apprentice-Teaching Simulator unexpectedly showed that there was a disciple candidate, which surprised Lu Changsheng greatly.

Lu Changsheng only came to see what the predicted calamity was; he never expected to have the opportunity to take on a disciple.

Lu Changsheng's gaze fell on Chen Yi, who was on the verge of a mental breakdown. This person should be the disciple candidate recognized by the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator.

The Divine Ape King overwhelmed the Xiuzhenzhe of the Yuncang Kingdom, but he was no match for Lu Changsheng.

Even the most powerful of the Seven Great Demon Kings, the World-Overturning King, was killed by Lu Changsheng, let alone the Divine Ape King.

Now, it is the Divine Ape King who should be fearful.

"You are, Young Friend Lu?"

The Divine Monk Wule, upon seeing the newcomer's appearance, exclaimed in surprise.

He Ascension to the Immortal Realm around the same time as Lu Changsheng, and unexpectedly encountered Lu Changsheng here.

"The Divine Monk Wule?"

Lu Changsheng was even more surprised.

This is the Divine Monk Wule of Boundless Temple. He participated in the Central Continent Conference with Lu Changsheng and cultivated the Six-Syllable Mantra and the Withered Glory Divine Art of Boundless Temple. His attainments in Buddhism are quite high.

"This Dao cultivation highly skilled; you are probably no match for it."

The Divine Monk Wule hadn't seen Lu Changsheng for tens of thousands of years, yet he didn't believe Lu Changsheng was a match for the Divine Ape King.

"That's not necessarily true."

Lu Changsheng cast out several Talisman, Talisman brightly with golden light, revealing five Great Luo Golden Immortal, each carrying an Immortal Sword.

Under Lu Changsheng's control, five Great Luo Golden Immortals, wielding the Crimson Heaven Immortal Sword, Azure Heaven Immortal Sword, Jade Heaven Immortal Sword, Profound Heaven Immortal Sword, and White Heaven Immortal Sword, charged into the demonic clouds.

Sword Qi crisscrossed, slaying countless Demon Monkeys, their cries echoing throughout the land.

Lu Changsheng gripped the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword and casually swung it, unleashing a purple Sword Qi that slashed towards the Divine Ape King.

The Divine Ape King bared his teeth, raised his Law Treasure iron cudgel, and shattered the Sword Qi.

But the Divine Ape King was propelled several hundred steps by the Sword Qi, crashing into houses along the way.

"I will deal with this demon; you disperse the people."

Lu Changsheng was confident he could deal with the Divine Ape King, but he didn't want to harm too many living beings, otherwise his Merits would be diminished.

With a flick of her jade-like hand, Shangguan Zhao'er summoned twelve Dharma Banners, which landed on the ground and formed Formation.

All the civilians within the Formation were evacuated thousands of miles away.

Lu Changsheng focused on dealing with the Divine Ape King. The sounds of their battle were deafening, causing houses to collapse and the earth to crack.

The Divine Monk Wule and several other disciples of Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple were dumbfounded. "We never expected that Young Friend Lu would reach this level in just tens of thousands of years. It's truly astonishing."

Lu Changsheng followed the Taihua Sacred Lord, Lin Xuantong, to cultivate the "Positive Yang Fire Essence Art" and the "Divine King Sword Scripture." His strength was much greater than when he fought the World-Overturning King. He had the upper hand in the battle against the Divine Ape King, and even seemed to be taking it easy, using the Divine Ape King as an opponent to test what he had recently learned.

The Positive Yang Fire Essence Art imbues the Sword Qi with pure Yang Fire Essence power, causing even the monkey hair of the Divine Ape King to be scorched.

The Divine Ape King howled in pain as he was beaten, knowing he was no match for Lu Changsheng, and begged for mercy, "Spare me, and I'll give you all the treasures of Dong'ao Mountain!"

"The weak don't even have the right to beg."

Lu Changsheng ignored the Divine Ape King's pleas for mercy.

Yuncang Kingdom is within the sphere of influence of Shushan. The Divine Ape King destroyed the capital of the Yuncang Kingdom. As the Shushan Sect Master, Lu Changsheng naturally cannot let the Divine Ape King go, otherwise how can he maintain his authority?

The Divine Ape King gritted its teeth; weren't those the exact words it had used to mock Chen Yi?

Now, the tables have turned, and Lu Changsheng is looking down on it.

However, the Divine Ape King was no match for Lu Changsheng and could only swallow his words with a broken tooth.

The Divine Ape King plucked a few monkey hairs, which transformed into his Divine Ape King likeness, and then fought with Lu Changsheng.

External Incarnation?

Lu Changsheng knew about this Divine Ability; Qingyue Immortal Maiden had once used Divine Ability in front of him.

However, Qingyue Immortal Maiden also explained to him the weakness of the External Incarnation, which is that it disperses the True Qi of the True Body.

The Divine Ape King used his External Incarnation Divine Ability most likely in order to escape.

With a thought, Lu Changsheng unleashed the World-Destroying Black Lotus!

A black lotus flower appeared, emanating Devil Qi that blotted out the sky and caused the mountains within a thousand miles to shake violently.

When this Law Treasure appeared, the Divine Ape King's hair stood on end, filled with extreme terror. "A top- Upper-Grade Sacred Artifact!"

The World-Destroying Black Lotus was devouring the Divine Ape King's Fortune and True Qi, which terrified the Divine Ape King to the extreme.

It had never seen such a terrifying magical Law Treasure.

The World-Destroying Black Lotus suppressed the Divine Ape King, while the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword pierced through the air and penetrated the Divine Ape King's Demon Race Golden Core!

The Divine Seven Great Demon Kings Divine Ape Kings, thus perished.

The World-Destroying Black Lotus is still devouring the Demon Qi Fortune of the Divine Ape King.

Lu Changsheng was secretly surprised. Could it be that the World-Destroying Black Lotus, an Upper-Grade Sacred Artifact, still had room for growth?

The origins of these three Law Treasures – the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, the Merit Golden Lotus, and the World-Destroying Black Lotus – all seem to be extraordinary.

Lu Changsheng reached out and grabbed the Divine Ape King's Demon Race Golden Core, which fell into Lu Changsheng hand.

The Divine Ape King was a genius among the Demon Race Xiuzhenzhe. Its golden core contained powerful Demon Power, and although it was destroyed by the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword, it still retained unclaimed Demon Power.

"Qianqian, here, have this."

Lu Changsheng casually tossed the Demon Race Golden Core to his disciple Ning Qianqian.

Ning Qianqian took the Demon Race Golden Core and ate it in one bite.

"Hmph, Master is biased."

Lu Qinglian said that in the past, her master would give her Demon Cores he obtained. Now that he had taken in Ning Qianqian, the Dragon Emperor descendant, Lu Changsheng had given her almost all the Demon Cores in order to help Ning Qianqian awaken her Dragon Emperor Bloodline as soon as possible.

"The king is dead! Run!"

When the Lesser Yao of Dong'ao Mountain saw that the Divine Ape King had been killed and even his Demon Core had been eaten, they scattered like monkeys fleeing a collapsing tree.

Hundreds of thousands of demon Demon Monkeys died under the five Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"Return."

Lu Changsheng held Five Talisman Sheets in his hand, recited the Mnemonic, and the five Great Luo Golden Immortal puppets returned to the Talisman.

Lu Changsheng put away the Purple Heaven Immortal Sword and the World-Destroying Black Lotus.

The World-Destroying Black Lotus grew stronger after absorbing the Demon Qi of the Divine Ape King.

With the crisis in the Yuncang Kingdom resolved, Shangguan Zhao'er used a magic array to send the people back. Lu Changsheng then transmitted his voice to the entire city. "I am Longevity Daoist, the Shushan Sect Master. The Demon Monkey's mischief has been eliminated by me, so you can all rest assured."

The city's inhabitants suffered countless deaths and injuries due to the attack led by the Divine Ape King and his horde of demons. The survivors, having escaped the calamity, learned that the Shushan Sect Master had intervened and vanquished the demon Demon Monkey. They all bowed and kowtowed in gratitude, saying, "Thank you, immortal, for saving us."

Lu Changsheng was helpless to see the capital of the Yuncang Kingdom in such a state of chaos.

He had only been cultivating the Eternal Sacred Canon for a short time, and his predictions of the future were still inaccurate. He couldn't foresee the exact timing of the calamity that befell the Yuncang Kingdom, and ultimately he was a step too late.

Perhaps this is fate.

"Is there any royal family member still alive in the Yuncang Kingdom?"

Lu Changsheng knew that it was time to restore order to the city as soon as possible.

The emperor and Imperial Palace of the Yuncang Kingdom were destroyed, and the emperor and his princes and Imperial Princess were killed.

A prince at the Peak of the Dao Integration Realm stepped forward from the crowd. "Changsheng, I am the seventh prince of the Yuncang Kingdom. I was drinking at a tavern outside at the time and thus escaped this calamity."

"From this day forward, you are the Emperor of the Yuncang Kingdom. I will arrange for several Shushan Disciples to help you maintain order, so as to prevent Yuncang Kingdom from falling into chaos."

Lu Changsheng is now a seventh-level Great Luo Golden Immortal and the Shushan Sect Master. With just a word from him, he can appoint or dismiss the emperor of a secular dynasty.

Yuncang Kingdom is within the sphere of influence of Shushan, providing Shushan with Fortune and Cultivation Resources. Lu Changsheng cannot allow Yuncang Kingdom to fall into chaos.

The Seventh Prince respectfully kowtowed to Lu Changsheng: "Changsheng has saved the people from suffering. I will build a Daoist Daoist Temple for you, and burn incense and kneel in worship every day, so that the incense may burn continuously."

Lu Changsheng nodded.

He was not originally a flamboyant person, but the Heaven-Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda required a massive amount of intangible Merit. The entire Yuncang Kingdom worshipped Shushan and could provide Lu Changsheng with intangible Merit every day.

Chen Yi lay motionless on the ground, his heart filled with despair. When he heard about Lu Changsheng's background and saw his enemy, the Divine Ape King, being killed on the spot by Lu Changsheng, a glimmer of light returned to his empty eyes.

Struggling, he dragged his body, which was almost nothing but a shell, to Lu Changsheng and knelt down with a thud. "I am Chen Yi, a scholar from the Yuncang Kingdom. My parents, my teacher, Childhood Sweethearts were all killed by the Demon Monkey. I beg the immortal to use his Divine Ability to save them. I am willing to serve the immortal like a slave."

Lu Changsheng placed his hand on Chen Yi's head and used his Divine Ability to read Chen Yi's Divine Sense, bringing back twenty years of Chen Yi's memories.

Twenty years ago, Chen Yi was born into a scholarly Aristocratic Clan in the capital of the Yuncang Kingdom. On the day of his birth, many extraordinary celestial phenomena appeared in the sky above the city, such as the sound of Buddhist Chant scriptures and celestial maidens scattering flowers.

When Chen Yi was five years old, his parents took him to Golden Mountain Temple in the Yuncang Kingdom. The abbot pointed out that Chen Yi had potential and wanted to take him as Disciple, but his parents refused.

In the same year, because the Chen Household lived near the Prime Minister's residence, Chen Yi encountered the Prime Minister's entourage while playing. The Prime Minister noticed his talent and took him as a disciple. From then on, he and the Prime Minister's daughter, Wen Qingqing, became childhood Childhood Sweethearts and inseparable.

At the age of ten, Chen Yi was recommended by the prime minister to enter the top-ranked Academy in the Yuncang Kingdom for study and cultivation, where he distinguished himself.

At the age of twenty, Chen Yi became the top scholar in the imperial examination and was about to marry Wen Qingqing. Just when his life was going smoothly, the Divine Ape King suddenly attacked Yuncang Kingdom and killed his parents, mentor, and beloved. It was a case of joy turning into sorrow.

Lu Changsheng read Chen Yi's memories and couldn't help but sigh; this person's pain must have reached its extreme.

It hurts, it hurts so much.

Lu Changsheng and Shangguan Zhao'er exchanged a glance, then gently shook their heads. "They were Body and Spirit Annihilation by the Divine Ape King, their Soul Scattered and returned to the Netherworld. There's nothing I can do about it..."

"Yeah?"

Chen Yi's last glimmer of hope vanished, and the light in her eyes quickly disappeared.

He had lost all interest in this world and only wanted to find a quiet place to end his life.

"Ahem, but my current inability to help doesn't mean I'll be powerless in the future. According to a record in a Holy Land text, beyond the Immortal Realm, there are the Demon Realm, the Yao Realm, the Netherworld, the Paradise, and the Three Thousand Small Worlds. If you have the ability to enter the Netherworld and find their Three Souls and Seven Spirits, perhaps you can bring them back to life..."

Just when Chen Yi was in despair, Lu Changsheng mentioned the ancient books he had seen in the Taihua Sacred Ground.

The Scripture Repository of the Taihua Sacred Ground contains not only various Saint-level and Emperor-Grade Cultivation Method, but also Misty Sea collection of ancient books. These books record rumors and secrets from all walks of life. Although the ancient books only mention the Netherworld in fragments, it is true that there is such a place where souls return.

The people killed by the Divine Ape King were not highly skilled, so reviving them would likely be only slightly more difficult.

"Really?"

Chen Yi suddenly became excited.

This immortal is of such high status that he would never lie to him!

As long as one's cultivation level is high enough and one has the ability to enter the Netherworld, there is still a chance to resurrect one's parents, mentor, and Childhood Sweethearts!

[Ding, the system is loading the other party's information.]

[Name: Chen Yi]

[Race: Human Race]

[Innate Talent: Reincarnated Ancient Buddha, Innate Wisdom]

[Cultivation Level: Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer]

[Identity: Descendant of the Chen Household of the Yuncang Kingdom]

Chen Yi's information appeared in Lu Changsheng's mind.

"Hiss..."

Lu Changsheng was startled to discover that this person was actually the Reincarnated Ancient Buddha.

If such a person were to cultivate in a Holy Land Buddhist Sect, their potential would be at least that of a Buddha.

Lu Changsheng once saw in an ancient book in the Taihua Sacred Ground that Buddhist Sect Holy Lands had Secret Method of reincarnation, through which Cultivation Method could pursue Eternal Immortality.

After failing to Ascension immortality, Tai Xu True Person relied on the Secret Method of Tribulation Transcendence to reincarnate repeatedly, retaining his memories and eventually regaining his original cultivation level.

However, this Cultivation Method is not without flaws. On the contrary, one must start cultivating from scratch each time one is reincarnated. When one's strength is weak, it is easy to perish halfway through, failing at the last hurdle. Only when one reaches a certain level can one recover the memories of one's previous life.

Lu Changsheng's intuition told him that Chen Yi's past life was likely that of a terrifying being among the Remote Antiquity Buddhas, otherwise he would not have been able to meet the harsh conditions for accepting disciples in the Apprentice-Teaching Simulator.

Lu Changsheng's disciples are either Dragon Emperors or Devil Ancestors; even reincarnations of Buddhas are not qualified to be Lu Changsheng's Disciples.

This little fellow is more suited to cultivating Buddhist Sect Cultivation Method than the Indestructible Diamond Body Red-Bearded Daoist.

Lu Changsheng Innate Dao Body, allowing him to cultivate any Cultivation Method, including Buddhist Sect Cultivation Method. Wouldn't it be reasonable for him to accept a reincarnated ancient Gufo as a disciple?

"You have nowhere else to go, so why not follow me in cultivating the Tao? Perhaps one day, your wish will be fulfilled."

Lu Changsheng knew that cultivation might be Chen Yi's only motivation to live, so he decided to take Chen Yi as his eleventh Personal Disciple.

Chen Yi didn't say much. He knelt down and solemnly kowtowed to Lu Changsheng, formally becoming his disciple.

Lu Changsheng killed the Divine Ape King to avenge him and even pointed out a way to resurrect his parents, mentor, and Childhood Sweethearts. He had no way to repay him.

Now, Lu Changsheng's disciples include Demon God, Dragon Emperor, Devil Ancestor, Gufo, Literary Sage, and Child of Destiny...

Lu Changsheng dared not imagine whether the entire Immortal Realm would be turned upside down if these Disciples grew up.

"How have you been these past few years, Young Friend Lu? And young friends Lian and Zhao, it's great to see you again."

The Divine Monk Wule came over and spoke with Lu Changsheng.

Lu Qinglian put her hands on her hips and said, "Old monk, I remember you. I didn't expect you to still be alive."

The Divine Monk Wule smiled slightly, showing no anger. He knew that Lu Qinglian was a member of the Ancestor An, and that she was straightforward and outspoken.

Just when Lu Changsheng and the others thought the matter was over, suddenly, Buddhist Chant filled the air, celestial maidens scattered flowers, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, Buddha Light shone brightly, and a five-clawed golden dragon pulled a chariot, coming from the west.

A vast, ocean-like pressure descended, suffocating everyone.

This oppressive aura was even greater than that of the Divine Ape King.

"Amitabha Buddha, this child has a great karmic connection with our Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. We urge this fellow practitioner to spare his life and allow him to become a disciple of our Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple."

The authoritative voice was like thunder from the heavens, devoid of any emotion.

Lu Changsheng frowned. Was there a bald monk from Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple trying to compete with him for a disciple position?

He had a relationship with the Divine Monk Wule, but he had no relationship with anyone else at Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple.
