Chapter 825: Chapter 482: Turning Harm into Benefit, Three Beneficial Gu

When the Three Demons Returning to Obscurity Mallet and the Xinghuang Wood Fish were suspended in mid-air, the Mad Monk’s eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily, reaching out to grab the two treasures from afar.

The next moment, the two Buddha Treasures were drawn into the monk’s hand, and he began to play with them, weighing them in his hand.

After handling them for a couple of turns, the Mad Monk’s smile disappeared, and he nodded seriously, saying, “Not bad, not bad! These are indeed the ancient Buddha Treasures that the Holy Buddha Temple has sought for millennia. With these, let’s see if those young bald monks dare not come to me. Heh heh!”

As he finished speaking, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the Mad Monk’s face, creating a rather awkward atmosphere.

At this moment, Zhao Xuanjing smiled slightly and said in a deep voice, “Old Monk, the treasures now belong to the Zhao family. If you wish to take them back for worship, you can, but you must offer treasures of equal value in exchange.”

“Heh heh! This old monk possesses little in the way of valuables, and I have no treasures to exchange with your family. Once I return to the Great Snow Mountain, the Holy Buddha Temple’s group of bald-headed ones will naturally negotiate with the Zhao family. The Holy Buddha Temple is vast and rich, with treasures like the sea. Do not be too polite with them,” said the Mad Monk instinctively, without hesitation.

Zhao Sheng, upon hearing this, furrowed his brow slightly, his eyes shifting to Zhao Xuanjing.

Zhao Xuanjing, well-aware of the Mad Monk’s personality, wasn’t fazed at all. He boldly set additional conditions: “Old Monk, an elixir recipe for the Great Enlightenment Pill and the opening of the Moksha Unlimited Pavilion for the Zhao Clan Members to peruse for three years. If you agree, you may take the Buddha Treasures with you. If not, leave the treasures behind and depart!”

Upon hearing the conditions set by the ancestor, Zhao Sheng was also taken aback.

One must know that the Great Enlightenment Pill of Ancient Buddhism is an unparalleled Treasure Pill, on par with the Zhao’s Enlightenment Pill, possessing mysterious effects that can increase the wisdom of the seven senses and help one understand the Tao. Its value is immeasurable!

The Moksha Unlimited Pavilion, similar to the Scripture Pavilion, is the most confidential repository of Ancient Buddhism, housing not only a wealth of Buddhist scriptures and secret texts but also collecting a vast array of lost or fragmented Divine Skill Treasure Books, Hundred Skills of Immortal Cultivation, predecessors’ cultivation insights, and other crystallizations of civilization.

Ancient Buddhism is the oldest religious sect in the Tianzhu Realm, with a history that is incredibly distant and traceable to a time even before the Spirit Clan descended upon this realm.

It was a time almost obliterated, in a remote ancient era, when the Human Clan had just established itself in the Tianzhu Realm, and Ancient Buddhism mysteriously appeared in the world.

Faced with the audacious demands from the Zhao family’s ancestor, the Mad Monk instinctively nodded indifferently and surprisingly agreed outright: “If it’s just these conditions, this old monk might as well make the decision for those young bald ones and agree!”

Interestingly, the Mad Monk and the Holy Buddha Temple are not of the same group, yet he was the one who came today, a subtlety that’s hard to articulate.

Zhao Xuanjing clapped the table and laughed, “Haha, straightforward! I most admire straightforward people. Old Monk, why don’t you reveal your true intentions? I am all ears.”

The Mad Monk casually tossed the two Buddha Treasures into his sleeve, scratched his belly, eyes as clear as water, and said in a serious tone, “This old monk has been cultivating for two thousand years and has performed 9999 virtuous deeds. Now, I am just one deed short of achieving Rainbow Ascension. Recently, while in meditation beyond the Desire Heavens, I was enlightened by the Buddha, who said that the last virtuous deed I lack must be obtained from the True Dragon of this realm.

Therefore, after emerging from meditation, I rushed to find Master Zhao, hoping to achieve Perfect merit.”

Hearing these words, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Xuanjing were instantly enlightened, immediately understanding what virtuous deed the Mad Monk referred to.

As for the mention of the True Dragon, it refers to the True Dragon destiny.

Over seven hundred years ago, when Zhao Xuanjing successfully passed through the Divinity Transformation Thunder Tribulation and was finally listed as a True Monarch, the True Dragon destiny of this realm shifted.

Originally, the True Dragon destiny belonged to the Zu family, descendants of the Flame Emperor; from then on, the destiny passed to Zhao.

The sudden collapse of the Great Yan Dynasty over seven hundred years ago, with the Imperial Family of the Zu family ending in near extermination, was due to the ruthless deprivation of the True Dragon destiny, resulting in the inability of the entire clan to withstand the backlash of a continent’s accumulated karma.

Since the destiny passed to Zhao, the Southern Sky Zhao Family has seen generations of outstanding talents and prodigies, with influence expanding rapidly and effortlessly, growing into such a gigantic entity within less than a millennium.

As for whether to help the Mad Monk achieve Perfect merit and Rainbow Ascension, is there any need to think?

Zhao Xuanjing nodded without hesitation, instantly transmitting a Divine Thought to the Mad Monk.

A breath later, the Mad Monk suddenly assumed a solemn countenance, three nine-colored halos appeared behind his head, halos formed by merit and virtue, bursting forth with magnificent Divine Light and thousands of rays of auspiciousness.

At this moment, waves of Sacred Sound came from the depths of the Void, and upon hearing this Sacred Sound, Zhao Sheng suddenly felt a surge of impulse to join the Buddhist Sect in his heart.

But the next second, Zhao Sheng’s gaze cleared abruptly, and he immediately closed the Purple Mansion, blocking the Sacred Sound from entering his soul.

“Amitabha Buddha, well done, well done!” At this moment, the Mad Monk, solemn and dignified, suddenly chanted a Buddha name loudly.

However, at the end of the Buddhist chant, he suddenly burst into a strange laugh, completely losing the virtuous demeanor he had before, and happily said, “Haha, this old monk is about to become a Buddha!”

Zhao Sheng observed this, stepped forward, bowed, and complimented, “Congratulations, senior, on finding the opportunity to achieve enlightenment! You will definitely achieve Rainbow Ascension and enjoy great freedom in the future.”

“Heh heh, same to you, same to you! Your Zhao family is truly… formidable!” The old monk laughed like Maitreya Buddha but was inherently stingy, not willing to give an inch!

Zhao Sheng glanced helplessly at Zhao Xuanjing, but saw that he was smiling slightly and nodding gently.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng’s heart settled, knowing that the ancestor had a way to get the Mad Monk to contribute a substantial amount.
