West of Luoshui Province, amidst the remnants of Red Flower Mountain, deep within the ancient forests.
A massive black rat, standing over eight feet tall, stood upright in the early mountain forest.
The evil spirits across looked at each other, bewildered.
One of them said: "Wait here."
Then, the evil spirit ran afar.
...
anwhile, under Li Xuan’s arrangent, countless white bones were buried at the spot, and the evil spirits who had looped around took away the fainted Rose.
Li Xuan also withdrew the "Skull Flower" demon blood of "Tier One," replacing it with the "Mutant Ape."
Thus, the [Demon Skill] was reinforced, and the illusion skill created could now produce dummies with heads of bronze and limbs of iron.
...
Reporting in, an evil spirit hurriedly began his report upon seeing a fierce bald man.
After so whispered conversation, the evil spirit ran back again, saying to the Headless "Buddha": "The mighty wants to see you, follow ."
The Headless "Buddha" let out a gentle breath, and the liquid around its feet with the scent of lamp oil began to gather around its body once more, covering the blackened form anew.
Suddenly, one evil spirit said: "The mighty said, you can’t wear this thing."
Another evil spirit imdiately added: "Return it after crossing the mountain."
Seeing the Headless "Buddha" hesitate, yet another evil spirit said: "Our great mighty’s righteousness is as high as the clouds, leading all demon spirits, why would he care for your stuff?"
The Headless "Buddha" said hoarsely: "The pursuers are behind us, if they co, you won’t fare well either."
The evil spirit sneered: "The mighty has been eating human flesh, drinking human blood here for many years without a problem. If they really co, what would happen?"
The Headless "Buddha" said: "Fine, but the woman that ca with is closely related to , can she be returned to later?"
The evil spirit chuckled: "When you see the mighty, discuss with him yourself."
The Headless "Buddha" rolled its small black eyes, then seed to decide, clutching its rat paws.
The lamp oil outside instantly blended, condensed, compressed, forming a Headless Buddha statue.
Its color and shape resembled wax.
But upon closer inspection, inside was rolling incense smoke.
The Headless "Buddha" threw this thing into a small pouch, then tossed it to the evil spirit, saying: "Please take to the mighty."
The evil spirit took the pouch, chuckled, then said: "Please, this way."
...
...
A mont later.
The Headless "Buddha" t the mighty — a burly bald man sitting on a large stone pedestal.
I imdiately showed a disappointed expression because I’ve already discovered the roots of this bald brute.
However, this was already the third type of demon characteristic.
This confirms that there were at least three demon spirits on this mountain.
Yet now, even though I had seen through the bald brute as counterfeit, I didn’t want to complicate matters, so I gestured with my rat paws, about to speak.
The bald brute spoke first: "Why have you co here? What’s the use of that woman?"
The Headless "Buddha" thought for a mont, then suddenly said: "That woman carries a great secret, if your mountain can grant a seat, I’ll reveal the secret for us brothers to share."
The bald brute laughed heartily, then stepped forward and hugged the Headless "Buddha," saying: "I’ve seen what you’ve done in the city palace, you’re skilled.
If you join this mountain, you can make a pact with my six brothers.
From then on, we seven brothers can raise a flag, call ourselves the Seven Sages, henceforth enjoying carefree freedom, treating the Great Yin Dynasty of humanity as our backyard."
The Headless "Buddha" turned its face, opened its rodent mouth, and whispered: "That woman is a pri treasure, if one can eat her, it can grant immortality, even possessing divine abilities reaching heaven and earth!"
The bald brute kept laughing.
Li Xuan in the distance froze.
This... Tang Monk at?
Rose’s flesh is Tang Monk at?
"Let taste a bite first." The bald brute showed an impatient look.
The Headless "Buddha" hurriedly said: "Not eating that woman!"
"You dare deceive !" The bald brute revealed an angry expression.
The Headless "Buddha" helplessly said: "That woman is connected to the Peacock Great Ming Monarch of the Buddha Kingdom.
Her presence is the sole ans to reach the corpse of Peacock Great Ming Monarch.
I said to eat her, not to literally consu the woman, but to reach the Peacock Great Ming Monarch’s corpse through her.
But how to eat, the thod of consumption, only I know.
Let join your mountain, beco brothers, and share this overwhelming wealth."
The Headless "Buddha" indeed felt solitary and powerless, seeing this mountain with many Tier One demon spirits, deeming it a fine place to join.
Demon spirits often have a strong sense of territory, but so with wisdom will recruit and form factions.
Peacock Great Ming Monarch’s corpse?
Eating a corpse?
This completely contradicts any previous assumptions, leaving Li Xuan sowhat dizzy.
Originally, he wondered if the countless deities wished to descend to the human world, hence establishing various vessels, and Rose was a "Peacock’s vessel."
But now, this seemingly most logical and rational deduction was overturned.
Peacock Great Ming Monarch is dead?
What about the myriad deities?
All of a sudden, a bizarre and terrifying image flashed across Li Xuan’s mind.
Within the Buddha Kingdom, an expanse of light hides malevolence, shadows, and sinister oddities.
The exalted Buddha of the past beca a corpse, laid across everywhere. In the solemn majestic Leiyin Treasure Hall in the sky, rats gnaw on the divine and deified flesh. But because there are far too many rats, the Buddha corpses are not enough to satisfy, so so rats unable to "mix into the mainstream" seek another way, searching hidden Buddhas in the corners of the Buddha Kingdom, and this... is the Peacock Great Ming Monarch.
