Li Chang'an had already discussed the matter in Yunzhou with the supervisor and was confident in his understanding, so he didn't ask any further questions.
Just then, footsteps came from the passageway, and Yoru returned carrying a huge box on her back.
"Clang!" She put the box on the ground with a heavy thud.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the box. It was jet black with a metallic sheen. The outer layer was engraved with dense Buddhist script, resembling some kind of sealing formation.
"This is a Buddhist sealing formation personally drawn by the Empress to suppress the remains of Master Shenshu. Every ten years, a large number of living beings must be sacrificed, otherwise it will break the seal."
Protector Yuan glanced at Sun Xuanji and said, "This Senior Brother Sun's heart tells me: Ha, the Buddhist formations are crude and rubbish. I'll show you my skills later and give you a big surprise."
Sun Xuanji's lips twitched suddenly.
It turns out that beneath Senior Brother Sun's honest appearance lies a flirtatious heart.
It seems that showing off and getting something for free are indeed human nature...
Li Chang'an said, "Open it."
Night Princess nodded, took out a jade-green key, bent down, and inserted it into the keyhole.
Click!
The sound of the bolt opening filled the entire grotto with a terrifying yet powerful aura.
Protector Yuan collapsed to the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
Night Princess retreated repeatedly, her pretty face turning pale.
Sun Xuanji and Li Chang'an remained unmoved and simultaneously looked inside the box.
As the box was opened, its contents were revealed to everyone.
It was a torso, without legs, arms, or a head. But it was the most complete body of Shen Shu that Li Chang'an had ever seen.
It's worth mentioning that the body's crotch was covered by a miniskirt made of animal skin. This inexplicably reminded Li Chang'an of that monkey with the thunderous mouth from the TV show years ago.
"The ten-year period has not yet ended, why have you awakened me!" The torso awoke, slowly "stood up," and hovered in front of everyone before concealing its aura.
"Master Shenshu, this servant was ordered by Your Majesty to open the seal. I have something to ask of you." Ye Ji, feeling relieved, bowed with a sigh of relief.
The divine creature slowly turned halfway around, as if scanning everyone in the cave, until it saw Li Chang'an...
The two black beans on her chest suddenly split open, transforming into a pair of eyes. A terrifying aura emanated from them once more, causing Ye Ji and the white ape to retreat repeatedly, their faces turning pale.
"You carry my scent, and a part of my body is beside you. Now that they have broken free, how can they willingly submit!"
Her torso and breasts stared intently at him, and a thunderous sound emanated from her chest.
Chapter 428 Asuro: We're on the same side! I'm the mole!
"Because I promised them I would find a complete body."
Li Chang'an answered calmly, not sensing any strong hostility or malice from the body.
The divine being scrutinized him and said, "If you can take my arms, you are an enemy of Buddhism."
"Yes, that's my friend. His cultivation is impressive, his foundation solid; he's a good warrior. Let's have a drink together sometime!"
"Let's drink together..." Li Chang'an glanced at the bowl-sized scar on its neck and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
However, he has a decent personality and is somewhat bold, unlike that lunatic in the tower who is always yelling about killing.
“Master, he is the helper invited by the Empress, the Great Fengtian King Li Chang’an,” Ye Ji said.
"Asura guards the Nanfa Temple. He is incredibly powerful. Li Tianwang came here to deal with Asura."
The divine body readily agreed: "Very well, Li Chang'an, once you get my legs, I'll owe you a favor."
Then, he said with satisfaction, "Your identity is extraordinary, young man. You must have been practicing martial arts for hundreds of years, right?"
The training period lasted two to six months... Li Chang'an clasped his hands in a fist and said, "All things considered, it's two and a half years."
Shen Shu was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Don't joke with me like that. Reach the peak of the second rank in two and a half years!"
“I have no reason to joke with you like that,” Li Chang’an said.
The deity's tone shifted to one of confusion: "This is impossible."
Li Chang'an truthfully replied: "I bear the fate of half of the Central Plains dynasty."
The divine being retorted, "And then?"
Li Chang'an said, "Those with great fortune are blessed by heaven and can transcend the ordinary and become saints in a short period of time."
Shen Shu paused for a moment, staring at him with her nipples: "I only know that those who possess qi cannot live forever, well, to be precise, they are bound by the fate of their nation. Therefore, in the human world, there are no emperors who live forever."
Those who have not yet acquired the necessary fortune can advance to the extraordinary level within two and a half years.
Li Chang'an frowned and said, "Perhaps the fate of the nation differs from that of an individual?"
Shen Shu countered once more, "If that's the case, then all emperors throughout history could reach the Transcendent level in two and a half years. Why can't others do it, but you can?"
Li Chang'an didn't elaborate much, simply stating, "Exceptionally gifted."
Shen Shu chuckled, "If you think you can achieve extraordinary status or even reach the first rank just because you have good fortune, then you're overestimating the importance of good fortune and underestimating the importance of the first rank."
You still have secrets to uncover. Unfortunately, my memory is incomplete, so I can't offer much advice.
Li Chang'an said, "My secret is not important. The most important thing now is to get your legs as soon as possible."
"Very good. As long as I can restore my complete body, I will join forces with Da Feng to fight against the Buddhist Kingdom!" Shen Shu's voice seemed to be gritting his teeth.
dusk.
The sun was setting.
Wanyao Mountain is the core area of the Ten Thousand Mountains in Southern Xinjiang. Although the mountain is not high, it is exceptionally majestic.
It resembles a reclining giant, stretching for dozens of miles.
And this is only the main peak.
As one of the blessed lands of southern Xinjiang, Wan Yao Mountain is a place of outstanding natural beauty and abundant spiritual energy, nurturing generation after generation of demons.
The number of demons in the mountains is still large, but as time has passed, they have gone from being masters to slaves.
Buddhism has taken over this place.
Nanfa Temple is built on a mountaintop and is the tallest building in southern China.
After the Buddhist sect occupied Wanyao Mountain, they carried out large-scale construction, felling trees to build roads, and erected a magnificent city there.
Sun Xuanji, Ape Protector, Night Princess, Xu Qi'an, Miao Youfang, and others walked on the streets of "Southern Kingdom" City, where they were to assist Li Chang'an.
"Zhizhi."
There was a monkey show being performed on the street, and a little yellow-haired monkey was bowing to everyone it met.
It begs for money, and if passersby don't give it to it, it will do somersaults, make faces, or kneel down and kowtow.
"They are all unformed little demons."
Miao Youfang took out a piece of silver and threw it over. The little yellow-haired monkey picked up the silver, kowtowed and knelt down, his forehead thumping loudly.
A look of sorrow appeared in Ye Ji's eyes: "Because unformed demons are the easiest to control."
There are two types of demons. One type consists of beasts that have awakened their senses and, through their own cultivation, gradually become great demons.
Their offspring are born as demons, just like humans. As they age, they naturally develop intelligence.
This is another type of demon race.
The demons of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain are mostly descendants of the great demons of yesteryear. Although they take the form of beasts, they possess extremely high intelligence.
Hakuhime is an example.
"There should be demons who can take human form, right?" Miao Youfang asked.
"Of course there are, but they are few in number. Most of them are enslaved by Buddhist temples or used as mounts. Or they are controlled by high-ranking officials and nobles in the city."
Ye Ji said, "The high-ranking officials and nobles of the Western Regions raise demon races that have transformed into human form, usually to be used as war slaves, with very few exceptions."
“A very few exceptions?” Miao Youfang pressed.
Ye Ji sneered, "For example, beautiful demon women will become their playthings, and that's considered good treatment. Those who are treated worse will be sent to the army."
She didn't finish her sentence, but Miao Youfang could guess what she meant.
He was silent for a while.
On the pagoda of Nanfa Temple.
The imposing Asura stands atop the tower, overlooking the magnificent city under the night sky.
At one point, he turned his gaze away and looked at the shadows below the tower.
A man dressed in a blue robe appeared there silently.
"You're very strong. Who are you?"
Asuro's prominent brow bone and naturally sharp eyes were fixed on the young man.
He gives people a strange feeling; when he looks down, he is both contemptuous and arrogant, yet also indifferent and gentle.
Two opposing qualities are perfectly blended in him.
