BXBX NOVEL Chapter 320 Devil Monk
A white-robed old man over 60 years old was kneeling at the edge of the altar and praying.
The chanting that Gu Mingzhou and the others had heard earlier had come from this strange white-robed old man.
"A devil monk?" Just as Gu Mingzhou was feeling puzzled, Shangguan Fei, who was standing behind him, shouted in horror.
"What\'s a devil monk?" Gu Mingzhou turned around and looked at Shangguan Fei in confusion.
He knew about monks, and he knew about devils.
However, devil monk, this was the first time he had heard of such a new term.
Devil monks were the products of the world called the Devil World. Although they had the body shape of a human, their true bodies were all kinds of devils.
The reason why they were called devil monks was that they imitated the way of the Great Buddha. Other than their clothes, they were basically the same as Buddhist monks.
The only difference was that Buddhism advocated for mercy while they advocated killing.
Shangguan Fei explained to Gu Mingzhou after he calmed down and stared at the old man in the White robe who was still chanting on the altar.
"Advocate for killing? Can that still be considered as Buddha?" Gu Mingzhou asked in surprise.
"To us, of course not. But to them, they\'re just evil Buddhas. Buddhism doesn\'t recognize them, and they don\'t believe in Buddha but the devil." Shangguan Fei paused and then explained.
The devil monk\'s philosophy was that strength was respected and cultivation was supreme.
The devil was the heavenly Dao, and all living things were slaves.
The demonic monks who believed in them naturally had the belief to destroy the alien races and demonize the Heavenly Dao.
In other words, the existence of the devil monk was to kill all living things and demonize the heavenly Dao.
"Demonized the heavenly Dao?"
For some reason, Gu Mingzhou couldn\'t help but shiver when he repeated those words.
What was the heavenly Dao?
There was an ancient saying that everything that happened in the six realms was fated.
Mortals looked up at the sky. There was no sun or moon, and the four seasons changed.
In the netherworld, all things followed their karma, and the eternal was the heavenly Dao.
In other words, the heavenly Dao was in charge of the laws of heaven\'s movements, the rules of all living things, the principles of all living things, and the world\'s stability.
For cultivators, the heavenly Dao was the most profound and mysterious Dao out of the 3000 great Dao. It wasn\'t an inanimate object, but it was spiritual and conscious. It could seek good fortune and avoid evil, measure the stability of the world, and control the world.
The so-called \'one Dao, one thousand ways\' referred to the heavenly Dao.
The heavenly Dao was a supreme existence that could not be provoked in everyone\'s heart.
The existence of devil monk who was chanting the profound and complicated language on the altar actually wanted to demonize the heavenly Dao.
Not only that, but from Shangguan Fei\'s words, Gu Mingzhou could clearly hear that there was only one world outside the world he was in that existed for the demonized heavenly path.
Even the beliefs they left behind were all working hard to demonize the heavenly Dao.
This even shocked Gu Mingzhou.
The heavenly Dao was a terrifying existence to any cultivator.
The consequences of demonizing the heavenly Dao were self-evident.
Clap, clap, clap!
Just as Gu Mingzhou was feeling shocked by Shangguan Fei\'s words, the crisp sound of applause interrupted his thoughts.
Gu Mingzhou frowned and looked in the direction of the voice.
In the dilapidated temple, Wei Lin, who was wearing a loose robe, was walking slowly and clapping as he walked.
"As expected of the leader of the itinerant cultivators in the freezing cold land. Island Master Shangguan is indeed knowledgeable. You even know about the devil monk. I can\'t help but admire you for this!" Although Wei Lin had covered his face with a long robe, Gu Mingzhou could sense the pride and arrogance in his words.
"I previously didn\'t understand how you could possess spiritual energy and control the people here, but I understand now." In the face of Wei Lin\'s hypocritical praise, Shangguan Fei didn\'t show any joy but spoke with an extremely grim expression.
"Why don\'t you tell me!" with a smile still on his face, Wei Lin stopped in front of the three people and asked Shangguan Fei.
"I heard that when Wu Ji patriarch attacked the Seven Devil Hall, you appeared on your hedgehog and resisted the attacks of Wu Ji patriarch and He Youliang by yourself. If I\'m not wrong, you\'re the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog, right?" Shangguan Fei sneered.
"It\'s the nine-nether poisonous Hedgehog." Wei Lin sized up Shangguan Fei curiously.
"It\'s indeed the nine-nether poisonous Hedgehog. My speculation is more accurate now." Shangguan Fei continued.
"I\'d like to hear more!" Wei Lin gestured for the other party to continue.
"Everyone thinks that the nine-nether poisonous Hedgehog is a demonic beast that you have raised. In fact, they don\'t know that the nine-nether poisonous Hedgehog is actually a member of the Devil World, also known as the nine-nether Devil Hedgehog. It is also known as the demonic beast with the most identity in the Devil World." Shangguan Fei said slowly.
In other words, the real Wei Lin had actually died long ago.
A clone created by the nine-nether poisonous hedgehog after his memories were devoured.
This also explains why no one can absorb spiritual energy in a place without it, but Wei Lin can absorb it infinitely."
This was because he was not absorbing spiritual energy but demonic energy.
"Before this, I had been thinking about why you were able to absorb spiritual energy from places that I, who had a much higher cultivation level than you, could not. It was only when I saw the devil monk that I finally understood." Shangguan Fei pointed at the devil monk on the altar and said.
This was the place of the third life\'s tribulation that the Qing Emperor had mentioned. In fact, it was not a normal space at all but a demonized heaven and earth. It was similar to the small world of the Devil World.
As for the demonic hedgehog, it didn\'t need any spiritual energy at all. It only needed to absorb demonic energy to obtain cultivation!
"This is a demonized place?" Gu Mingzhou was still in disbelief.
The strange waves and the eight-clawed squid that could cultivate without spiritual energy all appeared in Gu Mingzhou\'s mind, which matched Shangguan Fei\'s speculation.
Only the demonized eight-limbed squid could cultivate without absorbing spiritual energy.
"Even so, how did he manage to control the people here in such a short time?" after thinking about this clearly, Gu Mingzhou had new doubts.
"That\'s even simpler. The Qing Emperor should have set this place up, so the demonic cultivators here can\'t cultivate and are just like mortals."
"And at this time, Wei Lin, who could cultivate and was also a demonic cultivator with strong cultivation, suddenly appeared, so he naturally became their master." Shangguan Fei explained.
Clap, clap, clap!
Wei Lin couldn\'t help but clap before Shangguan Fei could finish his words.
"As expected of Island Master Shangguan, you\'re really powerful. Fortunately, it was He Youliang and Liu Youcheng, those two idiots, who escaped, and I caught you in advance. Otherwise, I really might have let you ruin my plan." Wei Lin laughed.
"You\'re indeed a demonic cultivator. The reason you captured us was to devour us?" although Shangguan Fei was asking, his tone was certain.
"Not bad! I\'m indeed a demonic cultivator, but Wei Lin didn\'t know how to appreciate my kindness after I promised him so many benefits, so I could only devour him." Seeing that Shangguan Fei had guessed his identity, Wei Lin didn\'t hide it anymore and directly revealed it.
