For a Cultivator, skipping this refinent process ant their Cultivation Level would advance at an incredible speed.
His Concealnt Seal was currently undone to the Early Stage of Corpse Transformation, but his true strength was at the Late Stage of Corpse Transformation. He might be able to use this Joyful Shrine Association to completely break the Concealnt Seal and even ascend to the rank of Zombie God!
This benefit alone imdiately showed Yang An the power of the Xian Shrine.
Unfortunately, the people he had killed were all just minor figures.
Even with all of them dead, the pure Mana refined from their Demon Barriers was just a drop in the ocean, hardly enough to make a ripple.
Guang’an watched eagerly from the side, not expecting His Highness the Buddha Prince to strike so decisively and without any hesitation.
’This isn’t right! Isn’t his Buddhist Shrine gradeless? Why can it still absorb the Demon Barriers from other Buddhist Shrines?’
Guang’an was completely baffled.
Just then, Yang An suddenly spoke to him.
"If you get restless, go for a walk outside. If not, just stand guard here. And if you’re about to die, call for ."
Yang An needed his identity, but for that to work, the man himself had to stay alive.
If Guang’an died and he lost his stand-in, his ruse would be exposed to Zhuan Yu.
"...Yes!"
Guang’an replied at once.
Regardless, with this assurance from His Highness the Buddha Prince, he felt a sense of security.
Yang An leaped up, vaulted over the courtyard wall, and left the Zen Room behind. There was still no movent from the direction of Grand View Cave Zen, and he refused to wait any longer.
With the arrival of the Joyful Shrine Association, Great Virtue Temple had descended into utter chaos.
Yang An had just stepped out of Mingxin Zen Courtyard when he frowned.
The once-peaceful Great Virtue Temple was now filled with the stench of blood. Lifeless bodies lay strewn across the streets, though they were only the lowest-ranking Monks.
Although one of the prohibitions stated that you couldn’t attack those with a weaker Cultivation Level, who knew where these people found the audacity to think the Joyful Shrine Association was a festival for the whole temple to enjoy.
The weak lacked an awareness of their place. This was clearly a carnival for the strong, where the weak were nothing but nourishnt for their growth.
The Joyful Shrine Association was essentially a grand event designed to accelerate the growth of a chosen few.
Yang An could sense that, beyond the scene before him, sches and betrayals were unfolding everywhere.
People who had just been cooperating would, in the next instant, attack their partners without rcy.
When two people t around a corner, they would both cautiously back away, only to suddenly launch an attack.
One Buddhist Shrine shattered after another, their Demon Barriers absorbed. The survivors only grew more frenzied, losing all reason.
A dark figure suddenly lunged from the shadows, appearing behind Yang An without a sound. His face was twisted in a grin, confident of his success.
But just as his hand was about to touch Yang An, his body seized as if struck by lightning. A bloodcurdling scream echoed as he instantly exploded into a spray of gore.
Yang An, having turned around at so unknown mont, retracted his hand.
The Bow Lady instantly devoured the attacker’s defiled soul.
The ambusher was a guardian at the Late Stage of Visceral Stone. Against Yang An, he stood no chance of recovery.
The Demon Barrier was absorbed by the Xian Shrine, and a stream of pure Mana flowed into his body. A look of sheer bliss spread across Yang An’s face.
’This feeling of absorbing Mana directly without having to cultivate... it’s incredible. And it doesn’t even damage my Concealnt Seal.’
He made a decision.
He was going to carve a path of slaughter all the way to Grand View Cave Zen!
After all, the Joyful Shrine Association was a ti to do whatever you wanted, without any restraint.
In that case, he might as well ascend to Zombie God as soon as possible.
Yang An set off, stepping over the corpses on the ground as he walked toward Grand View Cave Zen.
A group of guardians had banded together, prowling the streets of Great Virtue Temple with crazed smiles on their faces.
"We agreed! No attacking our own! Anyone who tries anything gets a personal eting with the Buddha!"
This was a rule they had agreed on beforehand, just like in previous Joyful Shrine Associations.
Soon, they spotted Yang An strolling unhurriedly down the street by himself.
"The Buddha’s Son? Doesn’t he have a worthless Buddhist Shrine? What’s he doing wandering around?"
"Leave him. His Cultivation Level is higher than ours, and his Buddhist Shrine is worthless anyway. We’re better off finding other targets."
Although they were all hyped up, attacking a Buddha’s Son with a gradeless Buddhist Shrine was just asking for trouble. Even if they sward and killed him, they wouldn’t obtain a Demon Barrier.
So the group decided to go around him, intending to leave Yang An alone.
But as they moved to go around, a figure suddenly appeared in their path. Then, a pebble flew through the air and landed on his foot.
Yang An glanced down at the pebble on his foot, then looked up at the group. A smile touched his lips, but it was tinged with fury.
"Well, now! You dare to provoke first!"
"???"
’This guy... what the hell is he doing?’
Before they could even process the question, Yang An vanished.
A few breaths later.
CRACK!
With a single punch, he obliterated a severed head that had been sent flying, splattering blood everywhere.
The entire street had beco a veritable Blood Lake. Other than Yang An, the group of guardians was gone without a trace. In their place, over a dozen Demon Barriers flew in unison, converging on the Xian Shrine floating before him.
The Bow Lady let out a contented laugh.
"You saw that, didn’t you, Bow Lady? They provoked first. I didn’t break any rules."
