I will remember you
Under the power of the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound, the screams of the Fire Control King Ming Yan grew fainter and fainter, and his struggles became weaker and weaker. However, this did not mean that he was able to resist the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound. On the contrary, it was because his demonic thoughts and his demonic nature were almost completely purified under the power of the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound. The surging Demonic Qi on his body had long since disappeared.
After a long while, Ming Yan shakily got up from the ground. His clothes were completely soaked with sweat, and he seemed to be exhausted. Ming Yan's cultivation level had already fallen to the Void Realm. Looking at him with Zhuge Xiang's Data Eye, his cultivation level was only at the Tenth Layer of the Void Core Stage, or even below the Golden Core Stage.
Ming Yan's face was weak, but he looked quite well. The killing intent, hatred, and ferocity in his eyes had completely disappeared.
As Ming Yan walked step by step toward Zhuge Xiang, hundreds of human Cultivator and thousands of the Fire Control Tribe stared at him, wondering what had become of him. Even Zhuge Xiang stopped his Heavenly Ming Yan Heavenly Demon Zen Sound as he watched Ming Yan approach.
Step by step, unhurriedly, Ming Yan slowly walked up to Zhuge Xiang. Then, to everyone's astonishment, he knelt down directly in front of Zhuge Xiang, his forehead touching the ground.
"Amitābha Buddha, I was blinded by hatred before, and fell into the demonic path without realizing it. Today, thanks to the guidance of my benefactor, I have been able to awaken to the truth. I will never forget your great kindness and virtue. I beg you to take me in and let me stay with the ancient Buddha and the lamp, to repent for my sins..."
"My King..." The words of the Fire Control King Ming Yan caused the thousands of the Fire Control Tribe to change color in horror and cry out in alarm.
Just now, everyone present truly felt the Heavenly Demon flames emanating from Ming Yan. But now? Not only has the cultivation level of this Fire Control King Ming Yan decreased, but there is also no trace of evil aura emanating from him. He gives the impression of an enlightened monk who is free from desires and wants.
"This..." The human Cultivator looked at each other in disbelief, their faces filled with shock. Even Lu Yuling stared wide-eyed at Zhuge Xiang.
How could Zhuge Xiang forcibly transform a demon at the Void Returning Stage into a compassionate monk? This method is not only shocking, but also terrifying.
The Imperial Preceptor, Niu Dali, was a man of bold and unrestrained character. Under normal circumstances, he would have been unable to resist praising Zhuge Xiang. However, even he was speechless now. Everyone present, from the Golden Winged Corpse King whose abilities were comparable to those of gods and Buddhas to ordinary Cultivator, was terrified by Zhuge Xiang's heaven-defying methods.
His cultivation was only at the True Essence Realm, while the Fire Control King Ming Yan was equivalent to the Void Returning Stage's Dao- Dao Seeking Realm. His realm had already allowed him to glimpse a fraction of the Heavenly Dao. Such a vast difference in cultivation level meant that even if Zhuge Xiang had killed Ming Yan, it would not have been as shocking as it was now.
Forcibly transforming an Utterly Evil villain into a compassionate and enlightened monk? Just thinking about such a method sends chills down one's spine.
Not to mention others, even Zhuge Xiang himself was frightened by the power of the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound. Although Zhuge Xiang had obtained this power for several years and had used it a few times, he tried not to use it as much as possible because of the need for secrecy in the Great Qin Empire Zhuge Xiang. Even when he did use it, he would only use it to suppress the target and then resolve the matter by force.
This was the first time Zhuge Xiang had used the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound completely against Ming Yan. He had only just realized that the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound was so domineering, capable of forcibly converting evil targets.
"As expected of the Sacred Buddhist Art created by Patriarch Bodhidharma in his later years, its effects are truly unparalleled..." Zhuge Xiang exclaimed to himself, deeply moved.
"Please rise. I wouldn't call myself your benefactor. Although I wanted to help you, I don't know much about Buddhist Dharma," Zhuge Xiang said, reaching out to help Ming Yan, who was kneeling before him in sincere Repentance.
Judging from Ming Yan's current state, he has completely repented because of Heavenly Demon Zen Sound, so Zhuge Xiang naturally has no way to harm him anymore.
Over here, Zhuge Xiang used the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound to make Ming Yan "suddenly realize enlightenment." The Golden Winged Corpse King's face darkened. His chances of winning were already slim, and now that even Ming Yan had been "turned to the enemy," there was really no point in continuing the fight.
With a violent jerk of its Zombie Claw, the Golden Winged Corpse King retreated a considerable distance, looking down at Ming Yan from its elevated position, and asked, "Have you made your decision? Do you truly intend to convert to the Buddhist Sect?"
"I'm sorry, I broke my promise..." With his hands clasped together and bowing like a virtuous monk, Ming Yan addressed the Golden Winged Corpse King, saying, "I will always remember your help, but only today have I realized that I was driven by hatred and had already fallen into the demonic path. Fortunately, with the help of my benefactor, I was able to pull myself back from the brink."
Although the Golden Winged Corpse King was Zombie, he was originally a Buddhist Sect disciple. He could naturally tell whether Ming Yan had truly converted to the Buddhist Sect. Since Ming Yan had indeed achieved enlightenment, entered the Empty Gate, and no longer wanted to be an enemy of humans, the Golden Winged Corpse King was extremely dissatisfied, but he was helpless on his own and began to consider leaving.
The Golden Winged Corpse King shifted its gaze from Ming Yan to Zhuge Xiang. It had to be said that Zhuge Xiang's strength displayed in today's battle Human Heart, and of course, it was also something to be eager to hunt. However, looking at Zhuge Xiang's face, the Golden Winged Corpse King felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
"You're quite good. But you look familiar. Have we met before?" With the strength of the Golden Winged Corpse King, even if he couldn't defeat the Three Great Imperial Preceptors and the Phoenix Tree Divine Wood together, he was still confident that he could retreat calmly. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to flee in panic. Instead, he looked at Zhuge Xiang and asked in a calm tone, as if the two of them were not enemies who had just fought each other, but rather two friends greeting each other.
"Your Excellency is simply forgetful. When we first met, in that Land of Death, in the ruins of the Myriad Buddha Temple, my cultivation was far from reaching the Deity Transformation stage. It's normal that you don't remember someone as insignificant as me..." Zhuge Xiang replied. It was normal that the other party didn't remember him. Although he had shown him great favor when they first met, the gap between them was simply too great.
"Oh, so it was you..." Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's reply, the Golden Winged Corpse King's face showed a look of sudden realization. Looking at Zhuge Xiang again, his eyes were filled with even more astonishment. In just a few years, his cultivation had actually improved to such a terrifying level? The world is indeed full of talented people.
"Alright, I'll remember you. I certainly won't forget you next time we meet," the Golden Winged Corpse King nodded emphatically. After saying this, he turned and left the Heaven-Piercing Tower. His words clearly indicated his acceptance of Zhuge Xiang, unlike before when he hadn't taken him seriously in the Land of Death. (To be continued...)
