Zombie believers, evil thoughts become Buddha
The chanting of Buddhist hymns, filled with pure power, seemed out of place in this Land of Death, in the ruins of Myriad Buddha Temple. Zhuge Xiang strode into the interior of Myriad Buddha Temple, passing through ruins everywhere, as if it had always been this way since time immemorial.
No wonder. When Qin Shi Huang Six Nations the six kingdoms, it was thousands of years ago. The flow of time in this Land of Death is hundreds or even thousands of times faster than outside. For this place, hundreds of thousands of years have probably passed. Fortunately, this Land of Death is not eroded by wind and sand, remaining completely desolate. Otherwise, even the ruins of the Myriad Buddha Temple would not be visible...
Following behind Zhuge Xiang, Mo Wuyan was on edge, wary of his surroundings. The chanting of Buddhist scriptures and doctrines made Mo Wuyan wary and resistant. Fortunately, he was not swayed by the chanting. After walking for half an hour, following the direction from which the chanting came, Zhuge Xiang finally arrived at the square of Myriad Buddha Temple.
The square of Myriad Buddha Temple is enormous, probably occupying a third of the Myriad Buddha Temple. It's a Square, stretching for about ten miles in length and width. This huge square could easily hold 100,000 people without feeling crowded. However, this square was filled with kneeling people—no, it should be said that it was filled with kneeling figures. These devout figures kneeling in the square were not living people, but Zombie!
The square, which could hold 100,000 people without feeling crowded, was now filled with kneeling Zombie, Third Layer upon Third Layer, so densely packed that Zhuge Xiang turned pale with horror. Mo Wuyan beside him tightly covered his mouth, afraid to scream. Just how many Zombie were there? 100,000? 150,000? Or 200,000?
Zombie devoutly in the square, dressed in various outfits. Some clothes were completely corroded by time, while others vaguely resembled armor or Dharma Robe. These evil Zombie did not exude a violent and bloodthirsty aura; instead, they emanated a pure and rich holy Buddhist Power. The chanting of Buddhist hymns was clearly coming from their Zombie.
Zombie, evil creatures, are not living people, yet they are not considered dead souls, not belonging to the Three Realms and Six Paths. However, these countless Zombie are all kneeling here devoutly, chanting Buddhist Sect chants, their faces solemn and pious. How can these be evil Zombie? They look like the most devout Buddhist Sect disciples.
Thousands of Zombie knelt in the plaza. The further in you went, the stronger Zombie aura became, and their clothing grew increasingly worn. The Zombie on the outer edges wore brighter clothes, clearly indicating they had joined the fight later. The Zombie just ordinary Zombie, but as you went deeper, even Hairy Zombie appeared. In the deepest, most central part of the plaza, sat a naked man...
He wore a brand-new, Crimson Kasaya around his waist, his upper body bare. His black hair cascaded loosely over his shoulders, and his bronze skin gave him a healthy appearance. He sat cross-legged on a Nine-Leaf Lotus Platform. A faint, colorful Buddhist light emanated from this man's body. His eyes seemed to be half-closed, and his chest rose and fell slightly, indicating that he was breathing. If it weren't for the pair of golden Bone Wings on his back, one would almost believe that he was truly human. Bone Wings —the mark of Corpse King.
The Myriad Buddha Temple, a Myriad Buddha Temple where the Vow Power of all beings gathered to help them achieve gods and Buddhas, has been destroyed. Yet, these Zombie kneel here devoutly, chanting Buddhist hymns tirelessly. The long-haired, robed man in the center, having received this concentrated Vow Power, has had his pale white Bone Wings turn golden. Moreover, as a Zombie, he has defied the rules of Heaven and Earth, growing long black hair, regaining his breath, and reversing the laws of Heaven and Earth. Even if he is not gods and Buddhas, he is not far off...
"This Corpse King! Could it be that it has been blessed by countless Vow Power and has already become gods and Buddhas or Buddha?!" Looking at the Zombie, which could even grow hair, defying the laws of nature, Mo Wuyan murmured.
"Even if he is a Buddha, he is not a good person," Zhuge Xiang said, shaking his head with a solemn expression.
Even if the combined Vow Power of countless Zombie were to succeed, what gods and Buddhas could emerge? On the surface, it appears to be pure and sacred Buddhist Power, but can there truly be a pure and sacred place in this Land of Death? If so, why wasn't the deathly aura of this Land of Death completely purified?
Occasionally, the ground in the square would suddenly crack open, spewing out an unconscious Zombie. These newly born Zombie would look around blankly, but under the influence of the chanting, the ferocious expressions on their faces would slowly fade. Even intelligent humans like Mo Wuyan could be infected, let alone these mindless newborn Zombie. The infected Zombie would kneel down devoutly, and under the influence of the holy Buddhist Power, they would begin to chant along...
The newly born Zombie were all sitting on the outer perimeter. Zhuge Xiang's face was very grim. After surveying the area, he indeed spotted two familiar figures. They were disciples of the Puppet Cult, the two disciples whom Zhuge Xiang had killed the first time he made a move, and who were eventually swallowed by the cracked earth. They had indeed become Zombie and joined the Zombie Army in the square.
"Wang Xiaoming, Zhang Wugu, Lin Xiao, how did they turn into Zombie? Weren't they killed by the disciples of the Puppet Cult?" At the same time, Mo Wuyan exclaimed in a low voice.
On the outskirts of this Zombie Army, he found several of his comrades from the 108th Combat Squad. Zhuge Xiang knew these people; they had been with him when he went drinking at Flower Full Building that day. He never expected that they would turn into Zombie now.
"It seems we've found the reason why the earth devours corpses. In this Heaven and Earth, as long as a corpse falls to the ground, it will be swallowed by the earth and then turn into Zombie, appearing in this square."
Seeing this scene, Zhuge Xiang spoke up, and then suddenly realized that countless people had died in the great battle at Myriad Buddha Temple, but he had not seen a single corpse along the way. He had been wondering about this before, but now Zhuge Xiang finally understood why.
"Let's hurry, something feels off about this place," Mo Wuyan said anxiously to Zhuge Xiang. They had come all the way to Myriad Buddha Temple, seen everything, and learned everything they needed to know.
Nodding, Zhuge Xiang didn't want to stay any longer after seeing this lineup. Although these Zombie looked incredibly devout, who knew if they might suddenly turn on him? After all, human Cultivator were both prey and Food to Zombie.
Moreover, this isn't just a place for ordinary Zombie; there are also Hairy Zombie, and even more so, the naked, black-haired man is guarded by nine white- Bone Wings Corpse King. With such a lineup, even a Medium Sect wouldn't want to provoke him.
Fortunately, even when Zhuge Xiang and Mo Wuyan appeared, the Zombie seemed not to notice them. Even the golden -Bone Wings, black-haired man in the very center, who was still breathing, did not open his eyes to look at Zhuge Xiang and the others, letting them leave.
The Land of Death: All living beings who come here will die, and after death, they will naturally become Zombie and join the Zombie Army. If the black-haired man with golden Bone Wings were conscious, he probably wouldn't waste his time on Zhuge Xiang and the others.
However, just as Zhuge Xiang was about to turn and leave, his Purple Mansion Spiritual Platform suddenly twitched slightly, which startled Zhuge Xiang.
The Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda! The Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda, which had always been placed in the Purple Mansion Spiritual Platform, actually began to pulsate slightly. Obviously, something had triggered its response. With the reaction of the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda, a weak but extremely pure Buddhist Power was released, causing Zhuge Xiang to change color in horror.
Although he had already completed Three Heavenly Demon Zen Sound Diagrams, Zhuge Xiang could only barely put away the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda. This did not mean that he could control the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda. The Buddhist Power released by it greatly alarmed Zhuge Xiang, and he looked towards the golden- Bone Wings man who was the most important person in the square.
Just as Zhuge Xiang expected, the Golden-Winged Man, who had ignored him as if he hadn't seen him, suddenly opened his half-open eyes and locked his gaze directly onto Zhuge Xiang...
With a slight tremor of its golden Bone Wings, Zhuge Xiang's vision blurred, and the man who was still several miles away in the center of the plaza appeared out of thin air in front of Zhuge Xiang. His golden eyes emanated pure Buddhist Power. The Golden-Winged Man stared intently into Zhuge Xiang's eyes and asked, "Buddhist Sect disciple!?"
The chanting continued, and the thousands of Zombie remained completely still. However, the Golden-Winged Man sitting cross-legged on the Lotus Throne appeared before Zhuge Xiang. Mo Wuyan was horrified, his entire body stiffening as he stared at the Golden-Winged Man so close to him. He even held his breath. Even Corpse King equivalent to Void Realm Great Expert could only stand by and protect him. Just how strong was this Golden-Winged Man? If he wanted to kill him, it would only take him a flick of his finger.
"No! I am a disciple of the demonic path!" Zhuge Xiang was not nervous at all when he saw the Golden-Winged Man appeared in front of him. If the other party wanted to kill him, there was nothing he could do. Rather than worrying for nothing, he might as well open his mind and be carefree.
"A disciple of the demonic path?" The Golden-Winged Man, his expression unchanged, merely murmured the question before calmly continuing, "Aren't you afraid of me?"
"What good will it do to be afraid of you?" Zhuge Xiang asked the Golden-Winged Man with neither arrogance nor servility.
"Interesting. A demonic disciple capable of unleashing Buddhist Power, and with such courage, he's destined for greatness." Zhuge Xiang's reaction finally stirred the blond man's expression, a hint of interest appearing on his face. He then asked Zhuge Xiang, "Are you willing to switch to the Buddhist Path? If you're willing to believe in me, I can grant you the power to sweep across the world."
"Hahaha," Zhuge Xiang laughed loudly at the Golden-Winged Man's words, as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world. He said, "You're just hiding in your Treasure Artifact Heaven and Earth. You don't even have the courage to go out. How can you expect me to have the power to sweep across the world?"
"The Vow Power helps me attain Buddhahood, but all the Vow Power I've gained comes from Zombie. Zombie are not subject to the Three Realms and Six Paths. Although my cultivation level is sufficient, I lack the most crucial element: Origin Buddhist Power. This Buddhist Power can only be obtained from living beings, specifically from accomplished Buddhist Sect monks. I see you have this opportunity. If you were to cultivate the Buddhist Path, I believe that in about a thousand years, with your Vow Power, I could achieve true gods and Buddhas..." The Golden-Winged Man stared intently at Zhuge Xiang, showing no anger at Zhuge Xiang's words, truly displaying the demeanor of an enlightened monk. (To be continued...)
